Tuck Has Open Mind
On Fraternity Houses
By the Associated Press,

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 11.-Gov.-
Elect William M. Tuck, who takes
office next month, has an open
mind" on the question of whether
fraternity houses should be abol-
ished at State-supported institu-
tions, he said here today.
Much that Gov. Darden had to
say is true" said Mr.. Tuck, refer
ring to Gov. Darden's statement in
1912 that the fraternity house sys-
tenn is "undemocratic and enor-
mously expensive"
Students at william and Mary
last week voted overwhelmingly in
favor of fraternity houses instead of
a lodge" system recommended by
their Board of Visitors, by which
fraternity members would live in
dormitories and use college lodges,
at a low rent, for meetings and par
ties.
University Of Virginia students
and alumni also strongly favor keep
ing fraternity houses.
Mr.. Tuck suggested that the re-
commentator of the Barksdale
Commission of 1913, that an assist
ant dean be employed to manage
fraternity affairs, may be a good
one and that further aspects of
regulation might well be studied"

Ramsay House Restoration
Action Expected Tonight

The Alexandria City Council is
expected to take final action to-
night on authorizing restoration of
the historic Ramsay House by the
Ramsay House Restoration Associa-
ton.
The old landmark was purchased
by the city last May for So, 500 when
citizens protested its proposed de-
struction by purchaser who
planned to use the site for an office
building. The restoration group was
formed by representatives of vari-
Gus civic and patriotic groups who
now seek to restore the house and
use it as a museum and meeting
place.
Roger Sullivan, city treasurer, who
heads the restoration association,
said that plans are being made to
organize a drive for funds to i'm
prove the house if the association is
given the go-ahead signal by the
city tonight.
The building, which is located at
the corner of King and Fairfax
streets, was constructed in 1748 by
William Ramsay, the first Lord
Mayor of Alexandria.

Curfew
ByFa|IsChurch
School Leaders
Appeal Is Presented
Council; Theoter
Cooperation Sought

The principal of Madison School
and the st. James (parochiaD Cath
olic School Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton have sent letters to the Falls
Church Council asking that a cur
few law for children under IA or 16
years of age be enacted.
Miss Audrey Snodgrass, Madison
principal, told the Council last
night that she had observed grade
school children roaming the streets
after II o'clock, and suggested a 9
pm. curfew. Miss Snodgrass and
the PTA both suggested that the
management of the State Theater
refuse to sell tickets to children
under IA or 16 years of age after 9
o'clock unless they were accom-
panied by their parents.
Mayor M. H. Haertel said he had
talked to the manager of the State
Theater and that the manager was
very enthusiastic" about the pro-
posal.
The Mayor suggested that the
curfew and the limitation on ticket
sales be imposed at o'clock, in
stead of 9. In answer to question
by Councilman Archie Munson as to
whether the curfew could be legally
enforced, the Mayor said he had
consulted the League of Virginia
Municipalities which had given a
list of cities that now have curfeW
laws.
Ralph B. Ley, president of the
newly formed West End Citizens
Association, declared that some
thing constructive" must be done
about child welfare. Several other
citizens urged the Council to take
some constructive action in the i'm
mediate future to handle this prob
lem.
Wendell w. Campbell, represent
ing the Hillwood Citizens Associa-
ton, urged that the gymnasium at
the new high school be completed
Immediately and used for recrea-
tional purposes.
Mayor Haertel pointed out that
the town has no funds for such pur-
poses and that there is a legal ques-
ton as to whether, if it had such
funds, they could so so used. Col.
Joseph H. Davis suggested that the
$4,000 that the State is going to
spend on the widening of East and
West Broad street be used for recre-
ational purposes"
A resolution indorsing last weeks
action of the Fairfax County Board
OF Supervisors in ordering a reas-
sessment of all property in the coun-
ty was unanimously passed.
Councilman White said serious
consideration should be given to
adoption of the city manager form
of government.

B. 90. 10 Open
Silver Spring
Station SUNDAY
Old and Modern
Locomotives to Be
Put on Exhibition

The Baltimore g. Ohio Railroads
new passenger station at Silver
Spring will be formally opened to
the public Sunday when several
ancient and modern locomotives
will be on display. A special Navy
war train exhibit also will be fea-
tured.
The new station is of Colonial
type architecture to conform with
much of the Silver Spring resi-
Dental area. It will provide i'm
proved facilities to meet the in
creasing need for passenger service
IN Northwest Washington and
nearby Maryland.
The original brick station on the
north side of the track has been
remodeled and enlarged to house
the main waiting room and ticket
Offices. A new brick building, which
will connect with the older structure
by an underpass, has been erected
on the south side of the tracks to
accommodate passengers arriving
from Chicago, st. Louis and other
points West.
Red Brick and Shaded Slate.
The new construction is of red
brick of different shades, laid up
in Flemish bond and with roof sur
faces finished in variously shaded
slate. The interior of the main
waiting room has brick tile wainscot
and terrace floors. Furnishings will
be OF metal frame, upholstered units
to accommodate one, two or three
persons. The ticket Office is of
modern, open-front design.
The first B. g. o. station in Silver
Spring was built in 1878, just a
few years after the Metropolitan
Branch" had been constructed to
connect with the railroads main line
at Point Of Rocks, Md. For many
years the station was used chiefly
for suburban traffic, but with the
growth of the Metropolitan Area
the B. & O. made Silver Spring a
stop for its through trains effective
August, 1886.
Historical Collection.
The public displays of railroad
equipment will begin at 9 am. Sun
lay. They will include one of the
latest type Diesel-electric passenger
Locomotives, and on an adjacent
track will be 505-ton Mallet loco
motive, used for heavy freight serv-
ice In the mountains.
Development OF locomotives and
cars will be demonstrated by show
ing of the Thatcher Perkins loco
motive used in 1853, a baggage car
and coach of this same period, from
the railroads historical collection in
Baltimore.
The Navy Blue Victory Train, now
making a tour of II States, will be
on exhibition at Silver Spring from
9 am. until noon only, at which time
this exhibit of World War II will be
moved into the freight yards at
Florida avenue for showing from i
pm. until 8 pm.

is filled
A number of Red Cross nurses
aides have been trained to serve at
the hospital as a means of meeting
the crisis in nursing care but many
of those trained were Army wives.
They worked faithfully at the hos
pital but one after another have
had to leave Washington as their
husbands were transferred.
New Glass To Open.
These aides must be replaced. In
order to train other women to do
their jobs, the District Red Cross
will start a new class for nurses
aides at the Boiling Field hospital
next Monday.
Since an Army nurse will devote
some of her precious hours to the
class-and they are precious hours
now that SO few nurses have to do
so much-the Red Cross wants
every place in that class to be filled.
It takes SO women to complete a
class.
This Is the chance for women who
