2 Boys, Each w, Compete in Identifying Autos

The two small boys STOOD on a.
Bethesda street corner and
watched the cars whiz by.
That's a Ford" announced
Leland w. Sprinkle, jr., aged 2R.
An aging automobile passed the
corner. The other youngster
gave it quick glance.
"An old Packard" reported
Richard M. White, jr., also aged
2H.
Anticipating contradiction, he
turned to the reporter.
That's right, too," he declared.
The reporter was disinclined to
argue the point after watching
the two youngsters perform.
Young Leland had marched
down the street from his home at
6513 Fairfax road, Bethesda, and
called off the names of all except
one car parked at the curb. He
missed only on an early model
Studebaker.
Miles," as Mr.. and Mrs. White
call their only child, had ridden
from his home at 47OO North
Chelsea lane, Bethesda, to the
Fairfax road address and called
off the names of the cars as he
passed them on the road.
A convertible with its top down
drew up alongside his car at a
traffic light. His mother asked him
to identify it. Standing up to see
past his mother in the drivers
seat, he took a quick look and
Identified 1t as a Hudson con-
vertible.
Both youngsters he'd no trouble
at all identifying a 1882 Cadillac.
They could name cars in motion
and parked, from the front, the
sides and the rear.
Leland's father called his at
tention to a shiny new car across
the street.
"Booick," reported Leland. who
sometimes finds it a mouthful to
get out the car names.
After identifying another car as
a Buick, Leland was asked by his
father what kind of Buick it
was.
II go look" said the youngster
and scurried around to the side.
He came back to report it was
a Dynafow.
When the reporter asked Miles
how he identified the cars he
promptly replied. "By the hub
caps" Since he never even

glanced at the hub caps, this
seemed fairly unlikely.
Leland apparently studies ra-
diator ornaments. At one point,
for instance. he pointed to the
"old man'-the head of an In
dian on the radiator-and said
that was how he knew it was a
Pontiac. But he was equally
quick to identify cars from the
rear.
Mr.. Sprinkle, a mathematician
at the Naval Ordnance Labora-
tory. said on one occasion Leland
correctly identified 81 out of 63
cars.
Mrs. White. whose husband is
an Agriculture Department &C
countant, said Miles confounded

Fails Church Council
Approves Referendum
For School Bonds

| The Falls Church Council last
night authorized a referendum on
a 100000 bond issue for school
construction.
The date set for voting, Novem-
ber %, was recommended by the
City School Board, which hopes
to have the building program
completed by next September.
The Council cut 100000 from
the amount requested by the
school board. Councilman Lee M
Rhoads led the opposition to COM
mitting the city's entire borrow
ing power to a single project.
Borrowing Power Cited.
Mr.. Rhoads said the total cur
rent borrowing power, under State
law forbidding debts greater than
Is per cent of assessed valuation
is approximately $976,000. He
said $4,000 already is earmarked
for emergency school repairs.
A reassessment next year, he
predicted, will provide consider
ably greater borrowing power" ;"
He said he heartily" indorses the
building program. but believes
the council should retain 100000
in borrowing power for emergen-
cies.
The school boards 100000
program included construction OF
a new Junior senior high school
and a new elementary school, and
remodeling of the present Madison
Elementary. Jefferson Annex to
Madison was to be abandoned.
Delay May be Necessary.
Mrs. Helen Regan, chairman of
the school board, said the $500, 600
limitation may force a delay in
abandoning Jefferson. She said
her board will meet this week to
adjust the construction program.
Mrs. Regan said the city board
would not oppose interchange OF
students with Fairfax County to
reduce the distances students
must travel. Fairfax County re-
tanned Falls Church High School
and Oak Street Elementary
School, both in the city, when
Falls Church became a separate
school district last June. At pres
ent there is an interchange of
students between the county and
city at Oak Street and Madison.
The School Board has been con-
sidering sites inside and outside
the city limits. Regardless of
where the new schools are built, if
the bond issue is authorized, some
city students will be closer to a
county school than to their city
operated school.

his elders by pointing out a
Willys-Knight. Since these cars
haven't been made since 1888, she
has no idea where he ever even
heard of the make.
Mr.. Sprinkle said he started
showing cars to Leland to teach
him the colors. The boy still
can't distinguish colors - too
young, his father says-but, &C
cording to his father. he can
spot at least one model of every
American car on the road.
Miles got interested in automo-
biles when his mother brought
him some toy models from the
fve-and- ten-cent store. He started
asking questions, studying pictures
of automobiles in magazines and

newspapers and watching them on
the streets. His parents, however,
can't figure out how their blue
eyed boy knows more cars than
they do.
The two youngsters had never
met before the reporter introduced
them, but in matter of minutes
they were gabbing at each other
like a couple of garage mechanics.
I'VE think Leland is going to be
mechanical engineer" confided
Mr.. Sprinkle.
Mrs. White, watching Miles be-
stow fond pat on the radiator of
an old car, commented with a
laugh:
II guess Miles will turn out to be
a used car dealer"

Cox Charges Con|ey
WAS County's sCounse
Before Quitting PUG

An anti-organiZatlon candidate
for the Arlington County Board
charged last night that Lester R..
Conley was employed to represent
the county at bus fare hearings,
before Mr.. Conley resigned from
the Arlington Public Utilities
Commission.
Robert w. Cox, Town Meeting
nominee for the board. declared
Mr.. Conley wrote the State Cor
poration Commission October Is
that he had been recently en-
ployed" as counsel for the county.
His resignation from the PUG
was announced October IT.
The Corporation Commission
has set November IA as the date
of a hearing on the request of the
Washington, Virginia and Mary
land Coach Co. (Arnold Lines) for
permission to raise fares.
Resigns PUG Post.
In a letter to County Board
Chairman Basil De Lashmutt. Mr..
Conley stated he was resigning as
a member of the Advisory Public
Utilities Commission because of
the pressure of private business.
He is lawyer.
Mr.. Cox is running against Mr..
De Lashmutt, an organization
Democrat, in an election to be
held November 8. He made his
statements about Mr.. Conley last
night at a meeting of the Cher
rydale Citizens Association. Com
monwealth's Attorney Denman T.
Rucker spoke in behalf of Mr.. De
Lashmutt.
After his resignation was made
public, Mr.. Conley criticized Mr..
Cox for a statement that Mr.. De
Lashmutt had a tender" policy
toward public utility companies
This led T. Oscar Smith, Mr.. Cox's
campaign manager, to character
ize appointment of Mr.. Conley in
the bus fare case as "payoff."
Mr.. Cox said last night he was
bringing out circumstances of the
appointment as an illustration OF
how "the machine pays off"
q Rucker Lauds De Lashmutt.
Mr.. Rucker, who recalled Mr..
De Lashmutt was first elected 10
years ago and is being opposed
for the first time this year, termed
him a gentleman of invulnerable
integrity
The Commemorative attorney
said he intended to vote for the
man who believes in a modest
tax rate raise" implying that Mr..
Cox would support a higher rate.
Jacob C. Bechtel, making his
third attempt to gain a seat on
the fve-member board, criticised
Mr.. De Lashmutt's record and
asekd voters to better the board
with Bechtel."
The meeting also heard from
the two Democrats, George Damn
and J. Maynard Magruder, and
one Republican, l. Lee Potter, who
are running for the two House of
Delegates seats. The Democrats
are incumbents.
Damn Defends Record.
Mr.. Damn, who said he would
stand on his record, declared that
in 1947 Mr.. Potter voted in the
Democratic primary, later became
vice chairman of the County Re-
publican Committee, then ap-
peared as an independent candi-
date and now is running as
Republican.
Mr.. Potter charged his oppo-
nents have been "derelict in their
duties" in not following the will
of the people. He asserted a
group of Arlington Democrats
asked for legislation to permit
referendum on non-partisan elec-
tions for the County Board and
all they got was a bill giving
referendum on the question of
changing the date of the School
Board election from November to
May.
Mr.. Magruder, answering
charges by Mr.. Potter, said the
Arlington delegation to the Gen.

To Mrs. M. x. c., who is plan
ming an auto trip to California
next summer, I have never tried
this myself, but am told it works.
Put a good sized block of ice
in a pail or pan and set it in your
car. Then close up the windows
and ride in cool comfort. Your
car radiator will appreciate the
cool water from the melting ice.
You should cross at least part of
the desert by day light as there
are interesting things to see. The
temperature drops a little on the
plains at night and the moon
light Is beautiful.
If you have ever visited Rocky
Mountain National Park in North
ern Colorado, YOU would find it
worth your while. After you leave
Yellowstone drive to Laramie or
Cheyenne, thence through Fort
Collins, Colorado to Loveland.
From there west into the park. 1t
is our highest national park and
contains some very beautiful and
interesting scenery.
There is a different route that
you can follow leaving the park
which takes you through Denver.
Best wishes for a very pleasant
trip.

ANTI-SEMITISM In GERMANY

given much thought at the World Jewish
Congress Executive sessions in Paris. The
sharpest and clearest expression of appre-
hension was delivered by Harry Green
stein. U. S. Advisor on Jewish Affairs.
when he told the gathering that Germany
was reeking with hostility toward Jews
and that it might take generations before
the virulent form of Nazi anti-Semitism"
spends itself in that country. Coming
from a person who is reputed TO be ex-
tremelY cautious and who weighs his
words carefully before uttering them. the
warning deserves double attention. partic-
ularlY from the occupation powers who. as
Mr.. Greenstein pointed out. ought TO make
it their business to combat the anti-Semitic
movement not merely because it is direct
ed against Jews. but because it is an un-
mistalzable sign of the resurgence of Ger
man nationalism in its most vicious form.
Our own book with Germany will never
close. Except perhaps for the sick, the
evil and the psychopathic, no Jews will
remain on the accursed German SOIL
However, to the extent that national anti
Semitism is an international warning
signal. the victors in mankind's most de-
structive war must not remain slumbering
on their posts.

U. S.-BRITAIN CHARGED
WITH ALLOWING ANTI
SEMITISM TO GROW
IN GERMANY

PARIS, (JTA) - The United
States and Britain were charged
here this week with allowing
anti-Semitism in Germany to
grow unchecked. The charge
was voiced by Rabbi Abraham L..
Fineberg, of Toronto, following
a visit to Germany.
1.-THE chief concern of the gov
ernments of the United States
and Britain is to put Germany
on it's feet" he said in a state
ment to the press. "All other
problems are considered as
secondary. German anti-Semi-
tism is allowed to grow without
being checked. The Jews re-
manning in Germany are poten-
tial hostages in the hands of
new Nazis."

BY NATHAN ZIPRIN

The tale of rising anti-Semitism in Ger
nanv is so old that there is an inclination
in some circles to completely forget it, or
to take it for granted as an irradicable
German national trait. It is true that the
hate scourqe is part and parcel Of the foul
German soil and soul and that no one is
really amazed when it energies over and
over again in all its frightfulness and
holiness and in all strata of German soci-
ETY.. But. to ignore that occurrence even
in a country which. we hope. vii! soon
have no Jews. is akin to treating highly
communicable disease by ignoring its
nature.
Germany is in the center of Europe, and
once the ugly trademark Of Hitlerlsm IS
permitted to rise in new vehemence there,
It will spread rapidly along the shattered
roads of the rest of the world With Eu-
ropes sick social structure amenable to al!
sorts of psychopathic trends, the danger OF
Germany again becoming the fuehrer OF
international anti-Semitism is not as re-
mote as it would seem to the foolish and
incautious.
It was, therefore. no accident that the
theme of anti-Semitism in Germany was
