By Nelson M. Shepard

A joint session with representa-
tives Of nearby Virginia planning
agencies early today to discus!
problems of mutual interest featured
the opening of the monthly meeting
of the National Capital Park anc
Planning Commission.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair.
man of the Federal group, is anxious
to get the cooperation of the
planning agencies in Arlington ano
Fairfax Counties and the City Of
Alexandria in preparing the COM
prehensive plan for Washington ano
the Metropolitan Area. The county
board chairman and the Mayor oI
Alexandria, who are members of the
groups, are expected to attend.
Mutual planning problems and
progress made since the last joint
session three years ago will be- re-
viewed. They will include co-ordi-
nation of city and county roads
mutual zoning interests and the
acquisition of lands for the develop
ment of parks and Fairgrounds.
Parkway Cooperation Sought.
One vital matter concerns efforts
to obtain cooperation in Fairfax
County for extension of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
There also is a desire on the part
of the Federal agency to protect the
Mount Vernon Memorial Parkway
from threatened spoilation" Of
ficials explained firm control must
be maintained to keep new subdi-
visions from using the parkway as
an ordinary road.
The right of way on both side;
of the parkway provides against
direct exploitation of the highway
it was explained, but the tendency
is for communities to build roads
connecting with the parkway. They
should be encouraged to use other
routes to Washington, officials be-
lieve.
The Federal planners have indi-
Gated annoyance over what they
contend is lack of definite, up-to-
date information concerning plans
for the 1,500-bed Hospital Center
and an addition to the Soldiers

Although there are eight Offices
being contested along party lines in
Arlington. only two of them are ex-
pected to reflect the county's Demo-
cratic and Republican balance Of
power In Tuesdays election.
This is because all but the two
contests are either split by one or
more independents, the failure of
Republicans to nominate in one in
stance or because of situations pecu-
liar to some of the races.
In addition to the eight offices
fought for by the major parties. fave
seats on the school board are being
sought by IL candidates and two
seats on the county board are
sought by nine aspirants, all running
as Independents.
Two Votes to Follow Party.
According to responsible leaders
in both parties, the offices that will
more nearly follow Republican,
Democratic relative strength in the
balloting are those of Common
wealths Attorney and State Senator.
Democrats normally win elections
in Arlington and they are given the
edge to win by most observers be-
cause Of that fact alone. Daniel A.
Dugan, Democrat. defeated an
other Democrat while running as
an independent for the County
Board last fall and John Locke
Green. treasurer, is the only Repub-
ican now in an elective office.
In the current campaign, the race
for Commemorative attorney be-
tween Denman T. Rucker, Demo-
crat, and Oren r. Lewis, Republic
can, is expected to be the closest Of
the two in which Democratic-R Re
publican strength will be reflected.
Fenwick Seeks 4th Term.
The State Senate race is between
Charles r. Fenwick, Democrat, and
Talmadge Wilcher, Republican, both
prominent in their respective county
organizations. Mr.. Fenwick, who
served three terms in the House of
Delegates, and Mr.. Wilcher seek the
seat to be vacated by State Senator
William D. Medley, another Demo-
crat, who did not seek denomination.
It was in the Commonwealth's at
torney campaign that the question
of gambling, now the subject of q
county grand jury investigation,
first was injected into the present
political picture.

Motor Truck Freight
Peck Reported in 1916

Transportation OF freight by
motor truck reached peacetime
peak in 1916, it was indicated by
statistics compiled by the Ameri-

which were released today.
Totals for the first II months
were only slightly below the level
of 1913, the industry's record year.

comparable period Of 1943.

Red teachers Paper
Urges Use Of History
AS Political Weapon
By the Assoeioied Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 21.-The science
of history is weapon of powerful
political effect" the Russian maga-
zine Soviet Pedagogy said recently,
emphasizing that for this reason
"the history teacher must use 1t
to bring up our young generation
In the spirit Of the Bolshevist Party
and the Soviet state"
A principal fact to be kept in
mind by Soviet history teachers, says
the periodical, is that they are max
ing future Communist Party nenl-
bers and Soviet citizens.
"The teacher must remember"
reads the article written by Prof.
A. M. Pankratova, corresponding
member of the Academy of Sciences,
that correctly organized Bolshevik
teaching of history can assist in
the development of characteristics
of the real Soviet personal---very.
and endurance, daring and courage,
honesty and generosity, hot love for
country and flaming hate for her
enemies"
Vital Themes Stressed.
The article added that political
and theological education are ef-
fected in all lessons and on all
themes"
The article indicated some OF the
principal themes which the Soviet
history teacher should stress for
students Of all ages.
1T is necessary to show that the
Soviet state for the short period OF
it's existence has shown itself to be
the most advanced and firm state
in the world"
Again:
"It is also necessary to show the
students that particularly in the
Soviet state there has been realized
the broadest and fullest democracy,
giving the possibility of raising to
historic life millions of people, satu-
rating with unheard-of political &C
tivity formerly backward masses,
and organizing these masses for full
Towering of all their creative
strength and talents
Example Is Offered.
And:
In teaching the history OF de-
velopment of the Soviet Union, the
teacher must show pupils both the
advanced role of the Soviet Union
in international relations, underlin-
ing that it was indeed the Soviet
Union which always stepped for
ward as the organizer and supporter
Of peace and security of all peoples,
and that it was the Soviet Union
which was the inspiration OF the
vanguard of the whole world"
The leading role" of the Soviet
Union in the stubborn battle for
securing peace and security Of ma
tions, for the reorganization of the
world on the basis of democracy
and progress" should also be empha-
sized, the article admonished.
These pointers for history teach
ers give some indication Of what
the Soviet student is being taught.

the 23rd of August, tickets have
been on sale in Seattle for some
time. Promises were made by
sponsors that the hinterlands
would get a chance to purchase
tickets too. So they set UP a
ticket office in Yakima.
The Yakima Valley league will
be represented in the game by one
player from Toppenish, two from
Pasco and one from Kennewick.
1t would seem to be only good
common sense to offer a few due
ats to residents of the lower val
ley. It is no longer a fact that our
only means of locomotion here is
by ox-cart, horseback or maybe
blackboard. In fact consider
able number of people have been
screaming for tickets with the OBJ
vious intention of attending the
game to boost for Lashock, Foxley
and Lamb. It is still possible that
a few seats, somewhere at least
within the stadium might be avail
able. T.. -.
/ suppose the Seattleites will be
greatly surprised if LaShock and
the Pasco boys fail to appear at the
stadium in coonskin caps, hunt
ing shirts, fringed britches and
moccasins, toting squirrel rifles.

To give an idea of what the

Of several of his prospects.
Harold Perkins, hard driving
half, will be counted on to carry
the load in the backfield. With
him will be Truman Elliott with
speed and experience.
Reeves will quarterback the
squad and has howed promise
as a heads-up player. The coach
is also counting strongly on
Chuck Poole at half as a speed
merchant"
Bob Scott, a sophomore, is
showing natural ability and only
needs experience.
The Lions can boast big and
powerful line. Anchoring the
center position is Dick Gravens-
lund who weighs in at about 100.
Art Whitson, 1875, is scheduled
for one of the guard positions.
Ben Mccoy, lightest of the line
at 155, is a "fireball".
There is plenty of weight as
well as competition for tackle
assignments. Norm Williams, who
carried a lot of weight last year,
will be back. George Soper, 6
foot 4, will probably be a re-
gular starter. In addition are
Pyle, 2l5, and Dave Dickerson
as prospects.

Duggin Outlines
u Of W Policy

Adhering to "non-contact"
principle in regard to prospective
student athletes, Pacific Coast
Conference members are finding
it increasingly difficult to compete
with other colleges and universe
ties in obtaining raw material for
top notch football squads. So said
Herb Duggin, chief assistant coach
at the University of Washington,
at the Kiwanis club meeting here
Tuesday. -... I'll
According to an agreement
reached by Pee schools, new stu
dents cannot be directly contact
ed by collegiate authorities, but
must await initial moves by the
prospective enrollee.
Under this system, Duggin said,
the larger schools of the Northwest
are operating under strong dis
advantage, since most other col
leges and universities throughout
the nation are continuing to en-
ploy "big business" tactics in re-
cruiting promising gridiron ma
terial. The solution, he said, is
the institution of field organiza-
ton among Washington alumni,
with graduates contracting pros
pective collegiate football material
in their localities.
Further, Duggin said, subsidiza-
ton of student-athletes is no part
of the University of Washington
program. He stated, however,
that everything possible is done
to provide an opportunity for stu
dents to carry on their scholastic
and athletic work without finan-
cial Hardship. Authorities attempt
to find jobs for students on cam
pus or nearby. The best APP
proach, claimed Duggin, is the
granting of scholarships. Tuition
and fees are provided the student,
with the exception of SOS per year
which the student himself must
pay.
Duggin criticized the five year
physical education curriculum at
the University. Under the present
setup scholarships can be granted
to accidentally eligible athletes
for period of four years only.
During the fifth year, which is
required for physical ed. major,
students who have been partici-
pating in athletics all through
their first four years must con-
tinue on their own.
The Huskies' assistant coach
took a verbal swing at the athletic
bidding system which he says is
employed by various chools in the
mid west and in the south. Stu
dents, he said, are selling them
selves to the highest bidder in an
athletic auction which is one of
the worst features of collegiate
gridiron business today. Due to
this practice, school in the North
west may lose some of the best
material to colleges which paint
a better financial picture for the
prospective collegiate athlete.
Nevertheless, the University will
continue to compete with the best
squads the nation can offer, Dug
gin claimed. ga kid can't learn
