Senate Inquiry Asked
On Glass Health
By he Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. N.-Dr
Robert d. Meade, Lynchburg author
and historian, advocated today that
the Senate make an inquiry into the
physical condition OF Senator Glass
because of public charges" that he
is totally incapacitated'' although
his proxy is being voted on certain
legislation.
DR.. Meade, author of an article
last February which caused many
Virginia newspapers to urge that
Senator Glass retire because Of ILL
ness which has kept him from the
Senate chamber since 1912, revealed
that he has been in correspondence
with members of the Senate about
the matter.
He quoted Senator Barley, demo-
cratic majority leader, as replying
in letter of October %:
"As / have on former occasions
stated to citizens of Virginia, the
question of whether Senator Glass
remains in the Senate Is q matter
between him and the people of Vir-
ginia. I do not feel at liberty tc
take any steps in regard to the mat
ter and I have no intention OF do
ing So
The public charges" mentioned
by DR.. Meade had reference to the
unsuccessful action by John Locke
Green, Arlington Republican leader,
to have the Virginia Supreme Court
OF Appeals compel Gov. Darden to
declare senatorial vacancy and call
q special election for new Senator.

Zone Group 10 Weigh
Plan 10 End Roominq
In Residential Areas

How much longer house owners
in residential areas will be permitted
to take in roomers will be discussed
by the Zoning Commission early
next month.
The issue is contained in two pro-
posed amendments to the zoning
regulations which would definitely
put an end to the practice Decem-
ber 81, 1946.
Commission Secretary Robert
Clouser said a rough estimate of the
number of persons now being &C
commodated under the privilege in
residentially zoned areas would be
about 5000.
The problem of finding housing
for newcomers taking war jobs
prompted the commission to amend
the zoning regulations at the be-
ginning of the war to permit home
owners to take in up to four room
ers. If more than four were taken
in, the sanction of the Board, of
Zoning Adjustment had to be OBJ
tanned.
These amendments specified, In
the case OF four roomers or less,
that the privilege would terminate
at the end Of the national elner-
gency, but not later than Decem-
ber 81, 1916. In the case of appli-
cations to the Board of Zoning Ad-
justments the amendments specified
termination one year after the end
of hostilitieS.
Mr.. Clouser pointed out that the
emergency has not yet been termi.
mated. The proposed amendments
would set the same expiration datt
for both nonconforming uses a

Stefan Asks Survey
OF Effect Of Cadets
Exemption From Gym

Representative Stefan, Republican,
OF Nebraska yesterday requested
school officials to make prompt sur
vey to determine the practical effects
of the Board of Education ruling
excusing high school cadets from
gymnasium classes on drill days.
The rule is to become effective
tomorrow.
Mr.. Stefan asked school officials
to report the number of cadets alb
sent from physical education classes
and the degree of increase in the
Cadet Corps enrolment.
Mr.. Stefan, who was instrumental
in getting congressional authority
and funds for accelerating the
physical education program just be-
fore the war, declared the program
should be strengthened rather than
weakened. He said every means
should be used ito develop our stu
dents into sturdy, intelligent and
self-disciplined young men and
women"
Cadet Corps Also Important.
He added that the Cadet Corps
also was important and that he
could see no reason why one pro-
gram should blot out the other"
He said he felt certain the two
courses could be worked out to allow
both to live and grow.
In the last week, Mr.. Stefan, who
is ranking minority member of the
House. subcommittee which writes
the annual District supply bills, re-
ceived statements which revealed
controversy in the school system
and among students and parents
over the cadet-gym issue.
DIR. Carfroll r. Reed, acting su-
perintendent of schools, in response
to questions by Mr.. Stefan, said
school officials were most appre-
ciative" of his interest in the ply
sical education program and that
they expected 1t to achieve "even
better results" when many instruc-
tors return from the armed serv-
ices.
Physical Program Praised.
Accompanying this report was a
statement by DR.. E. B. Henderson,
head of the Department of Health
and Physical Education for colored
high schools. who praised the ply
sical education program but said
an increase in rugged" individual
training, much more competitive"
activities, and correction of physical
defects were needed.
Mr.. Stefan said he was concerned
over charges that the school boards
change In program sis move to
liquidate" the accelerated physical
education program. He added:
Also, I am told that opposition to
this change is inspired by a desire
by some to kill the cadet corps"
There is need and room for
both programs" he continued. II
think it can be worked out so
that one does not blot out the
other. I hope there is not devel-
oping on either side campaign to
kill the other, for I do not believe
the Board of Education would per-
NIT this to occur and I do not
believe that Congress would stand
for such nonsense.
Every effort should be made no,
only to continue the physical edu.
cation program, but to make it more
effective. A survey that I requested
4 about a year ago showed that {
great list of former students whit
engaged in the Cadet Corps train
ing had achieved high ratings il
4 later service to their country il
the armed forces. We want Il
keep this Cadet Corps work"
