Pay Delay Cuts
Veteran Work
AfA|exdndrid
USES Reports Many
Quitting When u. S.
Checks Are Slow

Rapid expansion of work of the
Veterans Administration is causing
delays in issuing checks to veterans
who wish to take advantage of job
training and is seriously curtailing
the program, according to Herbert
B. Newell, manager of the Alexan-
dria office of the United States EN-
ployment Service.
Local employers have been CO.
operative in making openings for
veterans, Mr. Newell said, but to
date only 25 to 80 have entered the
program and many leave their work
when they find they are not receiv-
Ing the additional pay from the Vet
erans' Administration. More men
would be interested in the program
Mr.. Newell believes, if they could
afford to wait for their pay.
According to the plan, employers
pay the veterans at apprentice wages
while they are learning trade and
the Veterans Administration makes
up the difference between that pay
and what they will receive when
they are trained journeymen.
Many Placed by USES.
Mr.. Newell believes that with ap-
proximately 200 veterans returning
to Alexandria each week, the peak
has been reached, but he expects it
to remain at that level for some
time before there is any decrease in
the number of veterans seeking jobs.
The Alexandria USES has been
able to place almost all of the vet
Grams who have come for help in
finding employment and there are
only 180 on the lists who have filed
claims for readjustment allowances
pending placement in jobs. OF this
number almost three -fourths have
been assured Government employ
ment in the near future
Mr.. Newell said the majority of re-
turning servicemen want to work
for the Government so that their
terms of military service will count
toward retirement. In fact, he said,
nine out of every 10 want Govern
mnet jobs of all types, from manual
to Office work
In the latter case, the Veterans
Administration appeals to the ma
jority, Mr.. Newell said, and many
veterans are being placed in USES
Offices. In the Alexandria Office
three veterans have been employed,
one as a stenographer and two who
are now being trained as inter-
viewers.
Typists in Demand.
In the general employment field,
Mr.. Newell said the greatest demand
Is for typists and stenographers, with
the applications for workers far ex-
ceeding the supply.
He believes many women have left
the employment market and others
who have been released from Gov
ernment offices have been taken into
expanding agencies without going
through the USES Office.
For the first time since the war,
the USES has not been appealing for
applicants for Christmas jobs in re-
tail stores. Mr.. Newell said mer-
chants tell him they are receiving
applications direct, many from high
school students looking for vacation
jobs and others from women who
have been released from Govern
ment and war jobs and are seeking
temporary employment for the
Christmas season.

Historic Mt. Lubentio Remains
In Family Nearly 200 Years

the British march on Washington
in the War of 1912.
The exterior of the house is al
most the same as when it was built,
the only change being the lack of
one four room wing, which "just fell
away because of neglect" according
to Mr.. Bowie Several smaller
buildings erected near the original
house also have fallen away"
leaving only the foundations. Mr..
Bowie said he plans to restore the
missing wing and outbuildings.
A cemetery about 400 yards from
the house contains the burial stones
of Capt. Enoch Magruder, his wife
his son, Dennis; Thomas Clagett, a
relative, and a Clagett son, as well
as several unmarked graves.
Probably the most handsome fea-
lures of the interior of the house
are a semicircular stairway and a
pair of built-in cupboards fianking
the library fireplace.
The staircase. believed one of the
most beautiful of its kind, rises
gracefully from the square entrance
hall to the second floor. Under the
stairs, in the hall, are twin rounded
mahogany closets. Adjoining the
wall along the first floor hall are
several family portraits.
Once Housed Tenant Farmers.
Despite its age, the house is in
good condition. 1t was not always
so, however. particularly from 1850
to about 1880, when it was used by
tenant farmers. And when Wash
ington Beall. grandfather, of the
present owner, offered the house for
sale in 1870. he was advised by a
real estate firm to tear it down.
The 1000 acres on which the
house is built are part of an orig
inal 10,00O-acre tract patented te
Ninian Beall in 1896.
The property passed into tht
hands of relative. Enoch Wade
whose daughter, Meek Wade, mar.
ried Capt. Enoch Magruder. Tht
house remained In the Magruda
family until 1910. when the fourth
wife of Dennis Magruder sold it te
the son of Gov. Joseph Kent Of
Maryland.
A few years later, the house and
land were acquired by Otho Berry
Beall. direct descendant of Ninian
Beall. The former left the house
to his son, Washington, from whom
it was purchased by his son-in-law
| william j. Bowie, father of the
| present owner.

great mystic opened his eyes. A
great change came over him. He

The problems of health, death, pow

In his own case, he was brought

Plane Losses
AT 10000 Mark

WASHINGTON, March 81. CUPl
Lieutenant General George C. Ken
ney, commanding general of the Far
East air forces, said that the Japa-
nese had lost "at least" 10000 planes
in combat with American forces
since September l.
He said American crews in the big
B-29 raids on Japan had encoun-
tered far less interception than they
had eXpected-running into about
only one-third the opposition they
had anticipated.
Japanese air power Is suffering
from lack of Ieplacements both in
men and planes, Kenney said
THE Nip lost his shirt in the
Philippines, where more than 5000
wrecked Japanese planes are lying
on the ground now, he added.
He said that Japanese shipping,
too, had been reduced by American
action ito trickle'-''it is getting
hard fer our boys to find ship to
sink"
Asked how long the japanese
would be able to take the kind OF
air punishment they have been re-
ceiving lately, Kenney said he hon
estly" did not know-"the Nip is
completely unpredictable.'

mystic he ever encountered during
his tWenty-one years in the Far
East. He wants everyone to ex-
perience the greater health and the
Power, which there came to him.
Within ten years, he was able to
retire to this country with a for
tune. He had been honored by SelJ
loWships in the Worlds leading
geographical societies, for his work
as a geographer And today, 30 years
later he is still so athletic, capabla
of SO much work, so young in ap-'

has lived so long.
