cial governments today after a
stormy legislative session during
which the lawmakers arrested in
tervening policemen before being
dispersed by firemen.
A long -smouldering feud between
Governor Argentine Auchter and
Vice Governor Ramon Asis of this
Central Argentine province hared
up when the Governor closed the
legislature last night a few NOM
ents before it voted his impeach-
ment and sWore in Mr.. Asis as Gov
ernor.
The impeachment motion, which
did not state the grounds for the
action, was voted after Mr.. Auchter
signed a decree closing the legisla-
ture but before the state police
chief arrived with some Of his men
to serve the order.
When the police officials arrived
the legislators detained them and
swore in Mr.. Asis. A little later
firemen, who with the police are
loyal to Mr.. Auchter, forced open
the doors of the capitol, dispersed
the legislators and freed the ar
rested policemen.
Nineteen deputies met later IN a
team room near the capitol and

Red Army soldiers are being left in

work in German factories for expert

how many such former soldiers are
now being employed in German

anywhere from dozen up are being
placed in chosen factories. depend
ing on their size," these informants
said
THE men are being used mainly
in machine works and in optical
plants, and usually in the area in
which they have been stationed as
soldiers
American sources said the Rus
slams thus were gaining two objec-
tiyes:
/. They were helping to build up
skilled manpower, which is sadly
lacking in the Soviet Union. They
were receiving training under some
of the best technicians in the world
"a training unobtainable in Russia
where there are neither the facilities
nor the teachers.
2. They were in effect getting
around the four-power scheme to
reduce occupation troop strength
in Germany.
The four powers are deadlocked
on the issue of reducing troop
strength. The Russians have insist
ed they should be allowed the equiva-
lent strength of the combined
British American forces, whereas

Virginia Military Institute graduates

a system of universal military train
ing in the United States would be
of lasting benefit to our program OF

We hope for justice among all

"a fuller and better life for all our
young men," guaranteeing the pres
ervation of "a healthy, mentally
alert citizenry"
Atomic weapons, Mr.. Clark as

Question: am considering

What would be the advantages
Of each?
Answer: I cannot give you a posi-
tive answer in regard to costs, since
there are so many communities, and
gas rates vary SO much in each
locality:
1t would be we'll to make sure that
there will be an adequate supply
Of whichever fuel you select. Your
local gas company could give a
fairly accurate estimate on the gas
costs for a season, and your OIL
burner man could do the same on oil.
With an oil-flred heating system, 1t
is generally more practical to have

Radiant Heat
Burcroft Called First
Big Project Planning
To Use New System
By Robert J. Lewis
Rsal Es.ats Editor of The stor

A 550-unit addition to the Bar
croft Apartments, now well under
way at Columbia pike and George
Mason drive. Arlington, is believed
to be the first large garden-type
apartment project anywhere in the
Nation to use radiant heat.
This new-type system heats 1iv-
ing quarters through. installation
of hot-water coils in wall, ceiling
or floor. In the Bancroft project,
all coils are placed in the floors.
A few private homes in the WASH
ington area have had radiant heat
installations in operation for the
last several years.
First Use in Type Project.
In at least one recent large de-
velopment of for-sale houses in this
area, radiant heat is used exclu-
sively. But, until the Bancroft ad-
dition was begun, no large garden
type project was designed for this
type Of system here.
John e. DeLashmutt, president
of DeLashmutt Bros, GOT South
Highland avenue NV, owners of
the project, said he is completely
satisfied that radiant heating is
the most desirable type"
II have had 1t in part Of my own
home for three years, and it is
highly efficient" he said.
Mr.. DeLashmutt said his firm de-
ternined to Use this type Of heat
ing in the belief that it would re-
duce maintenance and redecorating
costs, provide additional space by
eliminating radiators, make apart
ments easier to keep clean, reduce
dampness, eliminate drafts and
probably be more economical.
Operation Seen Az Test.
We'll find out for sure after It's
been in operation for awhile" he
said.
He said he expected to begin op-
Grating the system in several apart
ments next week.
The Bancroft project is one of
more than 100 FHA projects in
this area which have been ap-
proved for FILA mortgage insur-
ance under the FHA Veterans
Emergency Housing Program
Apartments are of one and two
bedrooms.
r. M. Thornton, heating con-
tractor, is installing the radiant
heating system, which was designed
by William K. Karsunky, a Wash
ington heating engineer.
Each apartment has approxi-
mately 300 feet of three-quarter-
inch copper bearing pipe imbedded
in the concrete floors, Mr.. Thorn
ton said.
