Historians Consider
Plan for Museum in

Plans for establishment of a Mont
'gomery County museum are being
considered by the Montgomery

"Of course, 1t will take a lot of
time and lot of money Mr.. Bent
ley explained. But I feel it is one
thing our county should have"
Mr. Bentley pitched for the New
York Giants during the 1920s after
long service with the Baltimore
orioles. He opposed Washington's
only worlds championship team in
1924.
Establishment of the museum was
proposed at the last meeting of the

who described his visit to a county
museum in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania museum he
described included exhibits of early
modes of living in that area. a black
smith shop model, tools of the early
settlers and paintings Of distin-
guished people who were born there.
Montgomery County has the same
heritage of accomplishment to dis
play ina museum" he added. Our
new citizens will become better and
more loyal members of our COM
munity if we can build an educa-
tional and historical museum for the
county"
Mr.. Bentley suggested appoint
ment of committees throughout the
county to collect data for the
museum. In addition, he said, 81
would like to see what interest
could be aroused in regard to county
help, and where the most desirable
place would be for its location.
He said several possible museum
locations had been considered but
were found unsuitable

Mr.. Nelson said today both trade
groups are receiving enthusiastic
support from many of more than
5000 cities and towns along the
route.
The trade board here plans to
work in cooperation with chambers
of commerce at Richmond and
Pittsburgh to mark the Washing
ton approaches on the Northern
and Southern routes.
In approving "Skyway No. T.
at request of the trade bodies, CAA
Administrator T. P. Wright speci-
fied the markers must consist of
the name of the town, the degrees
and minutes of latitude and longi-
tude on either side of an arrow
pointing north, a symbol giving di-
rection and distance to the next
airport, and the Skyway Insignia

airports suitable for personal planes
lie along the course. Mr.. Nelson
pointed out that one of the most
serious accident hazards facing the
private pilot is the possibility of
getting lost on cross-country flights
through lack of markers pointing
to the nearest airports.
Sponsors of the project believe
that once the No. Skyway is ade-
quately marked 1t will serve as a
model for other skyways whose
completion will stimulate cross
country travel in light airplanes.
In writing to the trade groups, Mr..
Wright called the proposed Skyway
"a splendid project. We wish you
every success and assure you of
the cooperation of the CAA in
every way possible IN carrying out
the plans.

Angeles two days later.

Get Jobs Back
Civilian Work Rights
Kept if Veterans Join
Again Within go Days

Servicemen who re-enlist in the
armed forces within 80 days after
their discharge do not lose their
rights for reinstatement to their
civilian jobs, the Labor Department
said today.
The ruling came from Robert X.
Salyers, director of the Veterans
Unemployment Rights Division Of
the department. 1t establishes a
policy contrary to the position
taken by Selective Service System
which handled veterans re-employ-
ment rights prior to last April.
Mr.. Salyers emphasized that
these rights hold even though the
veterans have not. during the in
term between discharge and re-
enlistment, applied for reinstate-
ment to their former jobs. The new
policy follows an opinion rendered
by William S. Tyson, solicitor for
the Labor Department, Mr.. Salyers
said.
The Selective Service System took
the position that person who was
Internationally discharged from
the armed forces and thereafter
re-enlisted relinquished his re-
employment rights unless he had
secured reinstatement in his former
position prior to his re-enlistment.
Mr.. Salyers said the new policy
holds that the unemployment rights
are not sacrificed Notwithstanding
the failure of the person to apply
for restoration to his former job.
provided his re-enlisrment is effec-
tive within 80 days after his dis
charge from the armed forces.
The determining factor is
whether the continuity of the vet
Grams unemployment right remains
unbroken.' he said. 1T is our
opinion that inasmuch as the vet
eran has a right to restoration to
his former position which is in ex-
lstence during the period of his
military service and 80 days there
after, this right can be defeated
only if the veteran permits the 90
day period to expire without having
applied for restoration.
"A enlistment prior to the ex-
piration of this period provides
such a continuity of his right to
restoration as to entitle him to ex-
ercise such right after the compile
ton OF his re-enlistment." he added.
Mr.. Salyers pointed out, however,
that the veteran loses his re-employ-
ment rights if he delays re-enlistlng
until more than 80 days after his
discharge and does not within that
period apply for his old job.

HeadofD. Bar
Asks Strong Law
On Sex 0ffenses
Fovors Particularly
Stringent Penalties
For Child MoIesters

A strong statute with severe
penalties for sex offenders was in
dorsed today by George E. Mcneil,
president of the District Bar Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Mcneil said he probably
would appoint bar committee
early this week to work with United
States Attorney George Morris Fay
in preparing a general perversion
statute aimed at insuring full
prosecution of offenders.
II believe a strong perversion
statute should be enacted provid-
ing for severe penalties" Mr.. Nc
Neil said. II also think the author
tiles are proceeding in the right
direction when they look into the
question Of medical treatment for
persistent violators."
Working on Felony Statute.
Mr.. Fay is now working on a
statute which would make these
offenses felony and carry particu-
larly severe penalties for those who
modest children. The statute is
designed to fill gap in the District
law under which most offenders
are now released after short Jail
sentences or light fines.
Mr.. Mcneil said he would look into
the feasibility of appointing a bar
committee Immediately ito render
whatever assistance 1t can in prepa-
ration of this statute and in any
other way that might place upon the
books a strong law to curb these
offenses.'
Il think Mr. Fay is working along
the right lines and should have COM
plete support" the bar association
president declared.
Lawyers to Be Consulted.
He recalled that when he was in
the United States attorneys Office,
prosecutors continually ran into
difficulties in these cases because of
the deficiencies of the law.
Mr.. Fay said he would welcome a
bar association committee and
planned to confer with Washington
lawyers in the course of preparing
the statute.
The prosecutor will meet tomor-
row with four authorities on the
subject.
Scheduled to attend a conference
at 3 pm. in Mr.. Fay's Office are
Capt. Rhoda Milliken of tn e
Women's Bureau: 1t. william T.
Murphy of the Juvenile Bureau;
James v. Bennett. Federal director
of prisons, and DR.. Winfred Over
holser, superintendent of st. Eliza
beths Hospital
Citizns for Stronger Law.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Fay was notified
of the interest of members of the
Federation of Citizens Association
in a stronger law.
P. ]. Ableman, chairman OF the
associations Police and Fire Pro-
lection Committee, advised Mr.. Fay
that his committee Is studying the
question and will forward some rec
concentrations to him through the
association in the near future.
Mr.. Ableman said members he had
talked to all favor more severe pen
alties for sex offenses. He said his
committee was studying other State
laws to see how they campare with
the District on punishment of often
ders in this type of cases.
