So0> 900 War Fund Quota.
Allotted to Alexandria

Alexandria has been assigned a
quota OF 100000 in the Community
War Fund campaign opening locally
September %, but because of it's
afnliation with the metropolitan
drive for the first time, it will re-
ceive an additional $1,000 for local
work, plus credit for $4,000 as its
contribution toward the National
War Fund.
In explaining the benefits from
membership in the greater Wash
ington organization, Clarence j.
Hite, Alexandria drive chairman,
emphasized the s127 900 total is
assured even though Alexandria
should fall short of its $4,000 quota.
The arrangement provides a fairer
share for the city in funds donated
by Alexandrians at their places of
employment in Federal offices and
private businesses in Washington,
Mr.. Hite said. Solicitation under
the Alexandria unit will be con-
fined to Alexandria businesses and
homes.
Last years drive, conducted as
an independent city venture for the
third time, was for a goal of sl1s,-
600. Only $4,000 was raised. The
National War Fund ALLEGATION of
$4,000 had to be cut to $4,000.
Failure of the drive was attributed
to loss of donations from residents
who gave to the Community War
Fund at their places of employ
ment in Washington.

Senate Committee to Meet
tuesday on Boundary Measure

Chairman Blbo has called a ses-
sion of the Senate District Com
mittee for next Tuesday at 10 am
to speed action on the Randolph
bill to end century of wrangling
over the boundary line between the
District and Virginia.
He issued a call for the meeting

Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina yesterday considered the
problem, expeditiously agreed to one
minor change of language in the
compromise measure as passed last
June by the House, and ordered a
favorable report
Chairman Bilbo previously had
declared century seemed long
enough to discuss the boundary
question, and that he hoped for
early action.
The bill, piloted through the
House by Chairman Randolph of
the House District Committee,
makes the present high-water mark
on the Virginia shore of the Poto-
mac the dividing line and reserves
limited taxing and full liquor con-
troll powers to Virginia over the
Washington National Airport while
otherwise placing the airport under
the exclusive Jurisdiction of the
