CT Students Plan Hoyrides
By Land and Sea in Duck

The amphibious task force at
American University is equipped
with almost everything for land and
water sorties except the necessary
permits.
Although the forces paper work
is slightly snafu, Sewall Gentry,
who sailed with the Navy, and Will
liam Thomas, who walked with the
infantry, are not entirely unfamiliar
with a system that demands nine
copies of everything.
In addition, they're both psychol-
ogy students, as well as amateur
mechanics, and are learning the
lesson of patience. The two will
need some patience and ingenuity
but more cash before they drive
their newly acquired duck for hire
through crowded traffic on streets
highways, river or bay.
BY Land or Sea.
The duck can transport by Iano
or sea about IS passengers, if mot
too fancy pants" Mr.. Gentry ex-
planned. That would put it in the
bus class, with either operator re-
quiring special permits, depending
on whether they will operate only
in the District or across State lines
AS to water transport, a permit
can be had from the Coast Guard
inspection service at Baltimore, pro-
vided the operators can pass exam
nations and their boat is properly
equipped with navigation lights and
the like.

No Decision Likely
Now; MENUS Troct
Preferred as Site

veterans Administration officials
warned today that controversy over
location of the hospital proposed for
Washington may prevent scheduled
completion of the 750lbed institu-
ton by June, 1913.
They had before them suggestions
OF several sites in Arlington County
but indicated that an immediate
decision Is unlikely. A spokesman
explained that the selection proce-
dure includes not only recon-
mendation by the Federal Board of
disqualification, but also approval
by the Veterans Administration
and by President Truman.
Arlington County officials, oppos-
ing the Nevius tract at Lee boule-
ward and Arlington Ridge road near
Arlington National Cemetery, sub
mitted to Veterans Administrator
Bradley four other possible sites.
These are Arlington Hall, now
operated by the Army Signal Corps
and owned by the Government; Ar
llngton Farms, also owned by the
Government; the Saegmuller tract,
a privately owned property in the
northwest part of the county on
North Little Falls road, and the pri-
vately owned Army Navy Country
Club facing the Shirley highway.
The Arlington officials, Acting
County Board Chairman F.. Free
land Chew, Planning Engineer c.
L. Kinnier, Charles R. Fenwick and
Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Paul A. Hill, told Gen. Bradley yes
terday that they do not object to
construction of the veterans hos
pltal in that county. They oppose
j the site owned by Alvin w Nevius
In Arlington, they explained, be-
cause it is not suitable for hospital
purposes and because plans are
under way for $40 1000 900 hotel
on that property.
The Arlington authorities said to-
Gay that any of the other suggested
sites in the county would meet the
Veterans Administration wish to
locate the new hospital within con-
venient driving distance of down.
town Washington.
! While Gen. Bradley is personally
in favor of the Nevius tract, Vet
Grams Administration officials said
today that the actual selection is
no nearer than it was when the site
controversy first developed.
