where few, if any untoward Incl
dents marked the younger sets an
nual tryst with the spirits of mis-
chief.
Civic associations in the area or
ganized a parade, followed by a
bonfire and included two fire de-
partments and two county police
cars in the doings. From 200 to
300 youngsters were expected to at
tend, but nearly 1000 showed up.
The party was huge success and
as result there were no reports of
broken windows, strewn garbage,
rotten eggs, false fire alarms and
other products of teen-age imagina-
ton.
In direct contrast were expert
ences of other District and nearby
communities.
Shoots at Children.
In Takoma Park at least one in
dividual was not amused by youngs-
ters' pranks. A 35-year-old man
was arrested by police for shooting
at children with high powered
air rifle.
Corpl. George Altman of Takoma
Park police said that in response to
phone calls from neighbors, he found
the man sitting on his front steps,
the air gun on his lap. Witnesses
are available to testify that the man
shot at group of teen-age girls,
apparently thinking they intended
to damage his place, Corpl. Altman
said. ~.
No charges have been placed
against the man, pending further
investigation.
In the District, 113 fire alarms
were turned in between 7 am. yes
terday and am. today, sc of them
false. OF the 113 alarms, 81 were
turned in between 4 pm. and mid
night. One 17-year-old and two 15-
year-old boys, the only false ones
apprehended by police, were held at
the sixth precinct today.
Dawn today saw the buffaloes on
the @ Street Bridge over Rock Creek
painted bright red, according to
the third precinct, while the seventh
precinct was faced with a garbage
collection problem after the young
sters had strewn it in the streets.
Paper Stand Burned.
At Chevy Chase Circle, The Stars
wooden paper collection stand was
burned.
1t was not that parties had not
been organized in the District. The
Recreation Department held more
than SO and many private residences
were the scene of hilarity.
| Four parties were held by the
Junior police, in the second, ninth
and thirteenth precincts and in the
Marshall Heights area. Precincts
and 13 combined to hold their par
Ity at 2134 Ninth street. It was
attended by 1000. youngsters.
Children armed with soap and
ringing doorbells were surprised at
one Chevy Chase (Md.) residence
to find Gen. Jonathan Wainwright
a guest of the house and went off
clutching autographs, soap forgotten.
The night saw the usual damage
to windows, although this was not
widespread. Rotten eggs and milk
bottles were tossed around in the
Northwest section and bricks thrown
through windows of the Congress
Heights School.
A 13-year-old girl was told by
Shore Patrolmen in Hyattsville. Md,
to go home and take off her brother
in-law's Navy uniform.

Doctors Sought
For Veterans
Pension Exams
Medical Society
Plans Canvass
For Volunteers

With approximately 900 Wash
ington veterans awaiting physical
examinations in connection with
pension claims. the District Medical
Society has agreed to canvass its
members for volunteers to make the
examinations on a fee basis, Theo-
dore Wiprud, secretary of the So
ciety, said today.
Arrangements for the services OF
District doctors were the subject OF
prolonged negotiations between the
Veterans Administration and the
medical society. 1t will be the first
time District doctors have made
these examinations.
Mr.. Wiprud said he had been noti-
fled by the Veterans Administra-
tion that the society's proposal for
the use of the doctors had been ap-
proved and members of the society
will meet next Monday with Maj
Spencer v. Meade, chief medical
officer of the Veterans Administra-
TONS regional Office, to work out
the details.
To Seek Volunteers.
After this meeting, Mr.. Wiprud
explained, Washington specialists
will be asked to volunteer. Accord
ing to present plans. the examina-
tions will be given evenings at
Mount Alto Hospital.
Mr.. Wiprud said that several doc
tors returning from the armed
forces already have indicated they
would like to help the veterans. He
added that he was sure other doc
tors would respond in this emer-
gency.
Negotiations also are under way
it was understood, to provide treat
ment in the Offices of District doc
tors.
A Veterans Administration spokes-
man said the regional Office was
Swamped under the present load OF
men filing claims for pensions and
seeking treatment.
Expects Backlog to Grow.
This official predicted that the
backlog will be even greater when
the cases of men from the nearby
counties are transferred to the
Washington regional Office in mid.
November. He expected that 80 pei
cent of the 5000 veterans whose
cases will be transferred will neeo
immediate physical examinations.
The regional Office, he explained
has four doctors who are trying te
give pension, insurance and civil
service examinations, clinic treat.
ment, examinations for hospitali-
zation and care in veterans homes
and treatment of men taking voca-
tional rehabilitation.
A substantial percentage of those
waiting physical examinations car
get no pension payments until the
examinations are made, this officiaI
explained. Right now, about is Of
these pension examinations are be.
ing madeneaily.
He said that Mount Alto Hospita
also was swamped and that the
shortage of doctors treating the
veterans here was critical. He sale
the regional Office had been unable
to attract more full or part time
physicians to add to its staff.

Gov. Darden Declines
To Discuss Reports
That Glass Will Quit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROANOKE, Va, Nov. 1-Gov
Darden said here yesterday he
knows nothing about the report that
Senator Glass will resign In Jann-
airy.
It have not heard from Senator
Glass. directly or indirectly and the
only thing I know about it is what
I have read in the newspapers and
what speculation have heard" the
Governor stated.
The Associated Press in Washing
ton reported that a telegram to Sem
ator and Mrs. Glass at their May
flower Hotel apartment asking for
comment on report that the Sem
ator plans to retire on his 88th
birthday anniversary brought this
reply, signed by Mrs. Glass:
"We have no comment to make
on the article to which you refer
other than to say that we know
nothing about its purported infor-
nation nor, the source from which
it came"
Gov. Darden would not speculate
on a possible successor to the dean
of Virginia politics, pointing out such
a move would be premature, in view
of the lack of any definite knowledge
that the seat is soon to be vacated.
In Richmond, the News-Leader
said informed sources in Washing
ton expressed the conviction" Gov.
Darden will have first choice of the
seat of Senator Glass, if he retires
on his birthday anniversary, Janu-
ary 4.
The Virginia Governor has said
many times he does not want the
job, but in Washington as well as
at home, the News-Leader said, OBJ

Friday when the Big Three will

British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden and Labor Leader Gle

Churchill.
There was a wide belief in Brit
iSh circles that if Churchill is
licked, Eden will return to Potsdam
as foreign secretary. but Attlee will
remain in London dealing with his
new duties as Prime Minis ter.
While Churchill is in London Mr.
Truman and Stain probably will
confer informally. but this has not
been confirmed.
