85O.OOO Youths
 Yearly Would Get Military Training

WASHINGTON, (P)-Army and navy plans to train 850,000 teen age youths annually if Congress approved universal military train ing legislation were outlined today to a House armed services sub committee.
 The leadoff witness for the armed forces, It. Gen. Layton Collins, emphasized that the army would approach the program from a strictly military standpoint.
 He estimated that every year 100000 youths attain the age of 18, the minimum for training un- der the proposed law which the committee is considering. Of these, he said, statistics indicate that 100000 would be unsuitable for military training and l50,000 would volunteer in the army or the navy.
 Of the remaining 850,000, he said, the army would train 618,000 and the navy 182,000. Trainees would be given the option, within limits, of taking their six-months training course in the army ground or air forces, the navy or the marine corps.
 Present plans call for quarterly induction schedules.
 The subcommittee expects to complete its hearings this week and report on the bill to the full committee next week.
 BackerS of the legislation are planning to put the full commit tee on record in favor of the pro- posal even though it cannot reach the House or Senate at this ses- sion.

WASHINGTON, (P) - Republi- can national chairman Carroll Reece issued a statement saying apparently President Truman is determined that his White House tenure Shall go down in history as the veto administration"
 And you can spell it either Veto" or Vito without doing vio- lence to the facts, Reece said. Once more MT. Veto in the White House has followed the party line drawn in Congress by Vito Mar cantonio.
 (Vito Marcantonio is the Ameri- can labor party representative in the House from New York).
 Tt will be quite satisfactory from the Republican standpoint to have MT. Truman campaign next year for fifth term for the new deal with the slogan, Relief for everyone but the American tax payer Nevertheless, national, in terests should be put ahead of po- litical considerations" Reece con- tinued.

The reason I have New York tags

About Gifts TO INSPECTORS

Engineer Commissioner Gordon R
Young today called on Warren C
Dyson, 2l5 Eighth street NV.
Washington plastering contractor
to explain statement in court
March 10 that he gave inspectors
liquor and free meals "to keep of
their bad lists"
The statement was made, accord
ing to a letetr Mr.. Young wrote Mr.
Dyson and released to the press
during testimony in a divorce suit
brought by Mr.. Dyson's wife.
"It Is your moral duty as a good
citizen" Gen. Young wrote, "to in
form the Board of Commissioners
OF any cases where you have thought
1t necessary or desirable to make
gifts"
Gen. Young said the press had
inferred from Mr.. Dyson's statement
that he meant building inspectors
on the payroll of the District Gov
ernment." The letter was written
on the assumption that you did,
Gen. Young added. IF YOU did
not, then I equally feel it is your
moral duty to state the fact publicly
so that an unintentional slur upon

Two Virginia Bus Lines
Take Over All Service
To Pentagon Tuesday,

Officials OF two Virginia bus lines
said today they are prepared to offer
Pentagon Building employees living
in Washington even better service
starting Tuesday than the two
companies and the Capital Transit
Co, have been providing to date.
Beginning Tuesday morning the
Alexandria, Bancroft & Washing
ton Transit Co. and the Washing
ton, Virginia & Maryland Coach Co
(Arnold line) will handle the routes
operated for nearly five years by
Capital Transit CO.
The Washington company with
draws its service on that date. The
way was cleared for the new opera
tions by decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday
The Government denied petition
of the War Department which
wanted Capital Transit to continue
carrying 1000 employees daily to the
Pentagon after April /.
Two Principal Routes.
ICC said it had decided to deny
the petition because "the Virginia
lines can be reasonably expected to
provide adequate facilities" Both
nearby companies have been operat-
ing to the Pentagon for a number
of years.
In a joint statement yesterday
the two companies told of plans for
taking over Capital Transit opera
tions. The Arnold Line said ii
would concentrate on routes across
the Lincoln Memorial Bridge, while
the Alexandria concern would use
the Highway Bridge principally.
They furnish these additional de-
tails:
The Arnold Line will operate
over the same route, with the same
schedules and stops as Capital
Transit's R-2 service, which will
continue to originate at Nineteenth
and C streets NV.
The Alexandria company will take
over the o. route, but instead Of
originating at Seventh street and
Constitution avenue NV. will start
from its terminal at Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
~ To Increase Trips.
To facilitate boarding arrange
ments in the morning between 6:3C
and 9 o'clock for National Airport
and Temporary Building T al
Gravelly Point the Alexandria com
pany will move its loading point
from Twelfth street to Tenth street
just south of Pennsylvania avenue
The officials said that the new
services will provide ZIG trips te
the Pentagon in the morning, as
against the present 161 trips pro-
vided by all three lines. In the
afternoon trips will be increased
from 174 to 1874.
Both companies are expecting
new buses soon, and in the mean
time the Capital Transit Co. is
loaning the Arnold Line IS buses
The cash fare to the Pentagon
will be 10 cents, or tickets will be
sold at three for Is cents. Under
the present arrangement Capital
Transit Co. patrons can transfer
from uptown buses or streetcars tc
the Pentagon buses without ar
extra fare. The cash on a Capital
Transit bus going directly to the
Pentagon is 10 cents.

Her Gaping exercises will be held

examination before the Nurses Ex-
amining Board, which will enable
her to practice nursing in the Dis

the course, she will be eligible for a
bachelor of science degree in nurs-
ing.
what advantage does the ex-
tended training course have over
the three-year program?" PrQvi-
dence officials are asked by pros
pective students.
The reply given by Miss Mary
Agnes Bier, assistant director o1

new course:
l. Are more mature and adapt
themselves more readily to hospita
routine.
2. Have a better general nursing
background, which fits them to be.

8. Are prepared to go ahead aftel

National Trend Seen.
I Miss Edith M. Beattie, executive
secretary Of The Graduate Nurses
Association, says the combined
notwithstanding training Offered
at Providence and Catholic Uni
versity is becoming increasingly
prevalent in the Nations nursing
schools.
The closest approach to the
Providence program so far adopted
Dy oCher District schools is that
of the Georgetown School o1
Nursing. Georgetown students may
work toward a bachelor of science
degree in nursing, but their uni.
versity course either precedes OF
follows the three-year hospita.
course, instead of being integratec
with it.
| AS evidence of the success OF
their new program, Providence au.
thorities can point to the record
OF Providence-trained nurses in the
last examinations of the Nurses
Examining Board, held in January
There were II candidates from
Providence in the group and Sc
from other schools. All the Provi-
dence nurses passed, and six were
on the honor roll, while 10 nurses
from other schools failed and only
10 other students were in the honor
group.
