sential to reconversion, nor should
they be undertaken in areas of full

Army Plans 10 Move
$4,000 From District
AT Government Cost

The Military District of Wash
ington is making plans for the re-
moval from the District by next
June l of $4,000 officers and non
commissioned officers who are en-
titled to have their household goods
moved at Army expense. With the
members of their families it is esti-
mated the total number of persons
involved will be between $4,000 and
| $4,000.
Preparations for the moving job
are being made by officers on the
staff of Brig. Gen. Robert N. Young
District commander. They estimate
there are, all told, 10000 Army men
entitled to have their goods trans
ported at Government expense, but
1000 will not be moved before June
During the war regulations re-
stricted those entitled to removal OF
their goods to only one move, but
effective November l that restriction
will be lifted. Thereafter personnel
separated or reassigned will be en-
titled to the removal of household
goods at Army expense for all moves
made necessary by orders. This in
cludes separation from the service,
as well as reassignments.
It is estimated large majority of
the 5000 for whom removal prepa-
rations are being made will be sepa-
rated from the service rather than
reassigned.
Those entitled to the removal OF
goods at Government expense in
clude such groups as sergeants, dieti-
tlans, and physiotherapy aides, as
we'll as officers. The weight of goods
which the Army will move varies ac-
| cording to rank, from 5000 pounds
up to $4,000 pounds for four star
general.
1t was pointed out that many en-
titled to the moving service do not
have households here, and the load
will not be as great as the $4,000
figure would indicate.
/ Army officers will confer on the
moving problem with van line Off
cials this afternoon at the American
Trucking Associations, Inc, Six
teenth and P streets NV.

High School Heads
To Act on Charge Of
Drinking al Games

High school principals were
scheduled to meet this afternoon to
discuss proper steps" to take in
answer to a Board of Education
members charges of excessive
drinking by 20 per cent of the STU
dents attending high school football
games.
The board member, Adelbert w.
Lee, has announced he will ask the
superintendent of schools at the
next board meeting Wednesday to
issue an order canceling all foot
ball games till this drinking stops
Mr.. Lee said he had seen IA
year-old girl so intoxicated at a
Coolidge -Anacostia High School
game last Friday that she had to
be assisted from the AnacoStia Sta
dium by two boys. Mr.. Lee added
that he had seen drinking also at
Central, Eastern and Western High
School stadiums.
Barred on School Grounds.
He estimated that 20 per cent of
the students drink and 40 per cent
of them smoke at the games. Drink
ing and smoking on school premises
is against the law. During classes
the students seem to behave all
right, but after school they let their
hair down." he said.
/ The principals meeting, a regu-
larly scheduled one, was to be held
at Roosevelt High School. Robert
L. Haycock, superintendent. issued
the following statement concerning
the meeting:
"It is our purpose to confer with
the principals concerned to decide
on proper steps to take in connec-
/ ton with the announcement in the
press that there is drinking at
games"
1 DR.. Chester w. Holmes, assistant
superintendent in charge of high
schools, said he had never seen any
drinking. DR.. Holmes said he has
seen some smoking at the games but
protested that one principal and a
few teachers cannot be expected to
stop smoking all over a big stadium.
This is a community problem, u
he said "The principal cannot and
should not be expected to stop this
smoking by himself"
PTA Conducting Inquiry.
Nathaniel Danowsky, principal of
Western High School, where Mr.. Lee
said he had seen some drinking, re-
piled that he had attended many
games without ever seeing an intoxi-
Gated student or any drinking.
The District Congress of Parents
and Teachers, meanwhile, already
has launched an investigation OF
sales of liquor and cigarettes to
minors, with view to getting either
more rigid laws or stricter enforce
ment of existing regulations. George
R. Hammond, chairman of the
Liquor Investigating Committee. said
he would hunt for instances of vio-
lation of sale laws in bars and
taverns.
Mr.. Lee made his charges after a
meeting yesterday of some youth
leaders at the MayfloWer Hotel
James L. Ellenwood, a Young Mems
Christian Association executive, said
at that time that it was "up to the
community" to, lead American youth
back to the straight and narrow
path.

Extended Rights
AsRehiring Aid
More Than 30 Days
For Dismissed People
Held Impractical
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Government officials have re.
1ected a plan which would have
given dismissed Federal workers
more than 80 days to find worl
in other agencies without suf-
fering a break in status and loss
of civil service rights, it was
learned today.
Civil service officials and admins.
tration aides had considered the
plan for several weeks, but finally
dismissed it as being impractical
it was disclosed.
With thousands of employees be-
ing dismissed from Government
service and thousands more slated
to lose their jobs, some Federal
officials advocated a relaxation OF
civil service procedure to aid these
workers. &
30-Day Limit Stays.
At present most agencies grant
dismissed employe a 30-day 'fur-
lough." This means that when an
employe loses his job he has 30
days to find another one in the
Government without losing his civil
service status. Once the 80 days are
up, the employe loses his status.
Loss of status wipes out any ac-
cumulation of seniority that the EN-
ploye might have used for promo
tlonal purposes, and also means the
loss of sick leave pay. The en-
ploye is granted a lump sum pay
ment for whatever annual leave is
coming to him, but advocates of the
plan pointed out most of this is
eaten up by a corresponding in
crease in income tax.
The rejected plan would have
given dismissed Federal employees
another 80 to 60 days to hunt for
Government jobs. Chief reason for
the plans rejection was that it en-
tailed too many complications in
Government bookkeeping.
May Be Brought Up Later.
With some war agencies being
abolished completely and others
operating with skeleton staffs, it was
felt it would be too much of a Job
to grant dismissed employees pay
less leave" status and at the same
time keep them on the Government
payroll.
At present there are few agencies
which grant dismissed workers more
than 80 days time in which to find
a new job Other bureaus do not
grant any furlough period. The
policy, rests with the individual
agency. Backers of the extended
furlough plan called for a uniform
ruling for all agencies.
Informed sources said the decision
to reject the plan does not bar the
possibility that it may be adopted
at later date. However, the out
look for its eventual adoption
doesn't appear too bright, they
said.

Confident of rolling up the cur

were off to Boston today to try con-
clusions with the rejuvenated Bos-
ton-Brooklyn combine.
A light workout at Georgetown in

ton. The only player not making
the trip, Leo Presley, 218-pound
former Oklahoma star. Is being left
home only because he joined the
squad yesterday-too late to be of
any service tomorrow.
De Groot hinted that the Skins
were prepared to spring couple of
new plays on the Yankees if neces-
sary, but said he hoped to get by
on stock plays and a few passes.
Steve Bagarus' running and Baugh's S

Maryland Looks Beyond
Richmond Tilt Toniuhf

Harry Bonk and Vic Tueryn will
carry the brunt of Maryland's of
fense against Richmond's Spiders
tonight at Richmond, but Coach
Paul Bryant indicated the Terps will
be looking beyond this game to next
weeks important test against the
United States Merchant Marine
Academy.
The Terp squad. 36 strong, de-
parted by bus at $50 this morning
for Richmond. with Bryant still un-
decided about his starting lineup.
One thing certain, the Old Liners
will do lots of running, saving their
aerial game for more stubborn de-
fenses than Richmond is suspected
OF having. The Spiders took a 40-6
shellacking from Virginia Military
Institute last week, while Maryland
was opening with a CO.'S victory over
Guilford.
Maryland has been weakened, Of
fensively, by the loss of Dick Del
Signore, but Bryant has couple OF

Cub Speed Seen Big Factor
AS Bengal Power Is Mired

Tigers were little worse off.
At the start of the series l thought
the Cubs would have trouble with
southpaw pitching, but they've beat
en- Detroit's left-handers. 1t looks as
if the only way to stop the Cubs is
to throw the ball past 'em, as
Trucks did, and Diz Trout might do
it if he has q good day. But I'd say,
too. that the background in Briggs
Stadium did a lot for the Cubs.
They all say it's great place to
hit, compared to Wrigley Field, even
If that is matter of mind.
I was little afraid of Detroit 8
power, but the figures show that the
Tigers have made only one extra
base hit (Greenberg's homer while
the Cubs have collected one home
run, one triple and seven doubles.
Nicholson continues to be the hit
ting star, to my mind, with five
runs now driven in on four hits.

Anything can happen in high

first two weeks of play is any indi-
cation, this will be another Eastern
year in the interhigh championships.
The Ramblers, using three of the
backfeld aces that sparked the
eleven to the 1914 title, already have
rolled up So points in winning two
games, and the $64 question around
the loop is-Who is going to stop
Eastern?
Central couldn't do it yesterday

cision in the Viking Bowl, nor could

a defense that might slow down the

punch against Eastern, but the un-

of a powerful forward wall that

will provide the principal conten-
