Circulating Petition

Arthur w. Defenderfer, chairman
of the Chevy Chase Citizens Com
mittee of sections /, 2 and part of
LA, last night denied a statement
by 1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee, Mont
gomery County Democratic leader,
that he is circulating a petition re-
questing the county delegation in

its opposition to an act Incorporate
ing Chevy Chase Village.
Mr.. Defenderfer said resolution
was unanimously passed at a meet
ing of the village demanding that
the committee circulate a petition
condemning the delegation in turn
ing down the amendment. Col. Lee
had stated that since the Legisla-
ture has adjourned, it would be
impossible for the county delegation
to reconsider its action.
Mr.. Defenderfer, pointing out that
Bethesda and Chevy Chase had
supported the charter, said this
shows that "the citizens can have
no action on any request unless they
support him (Col. Lee)." Col. Lee
opposed the charter, defeated in
the last election.

Now quartering about 1900
WAVES, most of them on duty at
the Bureau of Naval Personnel
across the way, the new center is
one of the largest in the country.
1t includes 10 barracks, an admin
istration building, recreation
building and the mess hall.
A combined auditorium and gym
nasium, with dressing rooms on
either side of the stage so the
WAVES can put on entertainments;
"a beauty shop to be opened soon, a

as cosmetics and dainty under
things, a library, a hobby and arts

The center also quarters WAVE
officer candidates previously trained
at Smith College, Northampton,

chosen from the ranks, started
Wednesday. 1t will finish in four
weeks instead of the eight weeks

Washington newest quarters for
Navy women were built with just
enough concessions to feminine
taste to assure the WAVES that
they've been accepted willingly into
the Naval Reserve.
AS WAVE Quarters K, on Column
bia Pike in Arlington, was commits
stoned yesterday with flag rails
ing ceremony followed by an after
noon open house, visitors found
everything shipshape in the best
Navy tradition. But there were
also a few features which would
have been unheard of in Navy bar
racks before women came aboard.
The Navy has learned women like
as much privacy as possible. So its
newest barracks was built in cubicle
style, with two double decked hunks
in each cucible making a cozy nook
for four enlisted women, instead of
the row formation. The old gang
showers also are outmoded Each
deck of the new barracks boasts a
room OF private showers.
Venetian Blinds Used.
Sunlight-yelloW walls and wood
work in a natural finish are Other
concessions to women. The barracks
at Quarters I even have Venetian
blinds.
Many of these features have been
added to older WAVE barracks, but
Quarters K represent the most mod
ern trends in Navy housing for
women.
Capt. Herbert w. Underwood,
commanding officer of Naval Bar
racks in Washington, who addressed
about 200 residents after the flag
was raised yesterday, said the Navy
wants Barracks K to be a show
place.

County Board Favors
u. ). Plan 10 Construct
ARLINGTON |ncinerator

A majority of the Arlington
County Board now favors a Federal
plan for construction of a county
incinerator under a lease arrange
ment, Board Member F. Freeland
Chew said yesterday.
Four of the five board members
Mr.. Chew said, favor a plan sug-
gested over year ago by Henry j
Sullivan, assistant regional director
of the Federal Works Agency, under
which FWA might build the incin-
orator at an estimated cost of
1858 500, and lease it to the county
for $17,500 a year. Each payment
would apply toward its purchase
County Manager Frank C. Hanra-
han said yesterday the request has
not been renewed by the county
but that the plan has not been with
drawn by FWA.
Board Member Basil DeLashmutt
has been outspoken in his opposi-
ton to accepting Federal aid on the
project. He has proposed several
plans for it's construction, one OF
which involved borrowing $500, 900
which he said could be obtained at
per cent interest. Payments on
this loan, under his plan, would be
made from tax receipts, and a
new loan, less the amount paid
would be floated each year. He
estimated the loan would be paid
off in four years.
Subsequently, the plan was de-
clared illegal. The County Man
ager Act under which Arlington
operates prevents the county from
mourning a debt which is not paid
within the year.
County officials did not indicate
when the matter will be consid-
cred again but recently almost 100
residents of Oakcrest, adjacent to
the county dump, sent petition
to the County Board requesting i'm
mediate construction of the incin-
orator.

Women S Land Army
Seeks Recruits for
MARYLAND Farms

DR.. T. B. Symons, extension serv-
ice director at the University of
Maryland, yesterday issued an ap-
peal to Washington and Baltimore
women to aid this summer in har-
vesting Maryland's crops.
DR.. Symons said girls over IA years
old, who are in good physical condi-
ton, will be accepted as harvest VOL
unteers. He said Camp Mil-Bur in
Anne Arundel County has been
leased by the university and again
will be used as a center for the
Women's Land Army.
DR.. Symons said the work will not
be easy and warned against toe
hasty action in volunteering. THE
program is one of hard work. he
said.
Washington women may volunteer
with the Women's Land Army sec
ton of the American Women's VOL
unteer Services, 1920 Twenty-second
street, or with the Womens Land
Army at the university, DR.. Symons
said. Camp Mil-Bur will open June
Is and will continue until Sep
TENDER l.
DR.. Symons said Maryland truck
growers have agreed to employ
campers at least IS per cent of the
workable days-usually five days a
week-and to pay prevailing wages
Last year, he said, workers averaged
s1.45 day, with some volunteers
making as high as $5.25 a day
Workers will serve as tomato and
bean pickers, tobacco strippers and
Weeders and will do other farm
chores. Volunteers pay ST a day for
meals. A So registration fee is paid
to assure camp reservation.
Since there is an ever-increasing
demand for food in the face of a
decrease in available farm labor,
DR.. Symons said, there is a call for
thousands of emergency farm
workers, including hundreds OF
women and girls"
