nounced today.
After July /, the. announce
ment said, the Infantry. Trans

units i will be eliminated. The
Army Department has approved
the move. the university said,
Tnc announcement gave these
reasons for the move: E
/. The new facilities for train
ing In aeronautical science set UP
through State appropriations and
gifts by the Glenn L. Martin Air
craft Co. These facilities" II
added, should make the Uniyer-
sity of Maryland pre-eminent In
this field"
2. The fact that Maryland has
two large airplane manufactur-
ing companies-Martin in Balti-
more and Fairchild In Hagerstown
which further emphasizes the
opportunities for general research
and training necessary for the Air
Force"
3: The university in its broad
organization" would be able 10
develop in its one unit all the
component parts in which the Air
Force expects the ROTC to de-
velop and train men"
4. The university is of the opin-
ion that its scientific training and
educational contributions TO the
national defense can best be de-
veloped through close cooperation
and association with the Air
Force" and that the Air Force Is
going to be the key to the wagine
OF successful war in the future"
The announcement said the
changeover. which was approved
by the Board Of Regents in Janu-
ary, will require about a year.

Students Of an Arlington junior
high school recently used their
initiative to solve a problem In
recreational activities.
The pupils who didn't sit back
and wait for their elders to act
attend the Woodrow Wilson
School, 1901 Wilson boulevard.
They decided the best way for all
lis members Of the student body
to enjoy themselves when they
are crammed into limited play
space on inclement days, was by
planned use Of the quarters.
So they started suuare-dancing
during the daily 45-minute phys
ical education period. Soon the
teachers were asked to help and
the students brought records froni
home to be played on the music
department pfonograph.

never danced before harmed the

Rozing Temporary Buildings

to the Suitland area. When the
new South Capitol Street Bridge is
completed, travel to and from
downtown will be greatly speeded,
he added. At present there is but
one lane in the parkway. but pro-
vision was made for second traf-
fic lane when the existing bridges
and other structures were built.
The land needed is already in
Government ownership and all
that needs to be done is the con-
struction of the second lane.
The Suitland area may be the
answer to Washington's tempo
rary buildings problem. in large
measure. -
Gen. Fleming said he would IKE
Ito complete the new State De-
partment Building at Twenty-nrst
street and Virginia avenue NV.
This would release space now oc-
cupied elsewhere, but at present
there are no funds for this con-
struction.
High Rents Cited.
Gen. Fleming's Office was di-
rected by the President to vacate
rented space as rapidly as pos
sible. This was done so far as
was feasible. But the Govern
ment has paid in rent here many
times what 1t would cost to con-
struct new buildings. Gen. Fleming
observed.
The Federal Works admin
strator said he realizes the tempo
rary buildings are eyesores to
washingtonians. And he GER
tainly wants to do his part in
getting rid Of them. when the
time is ripe.
Addressing the Joint Committee
/ on the National Capital-compris-
ing a group of national organiZa-
tions interested in Washington s
proper development-on February
Il8, 1914. Gen. Fleming had this
to say:
I'VE In the Federal Works
Agency are strongly committed to
the principle that. as quickly as
war conditions will permit and new
permanent construction becomes
possible. all Federal structures on
the Mall shall be removed. And
from this happy demolition I do
not exclude the Munitions and the
Navy Buildings on Constitution
avenue-those quaint. unsightly
heirlooms bequeathed to US by the
First World War. Down they must
come. OF necessity. therefore. q
study must be made OF the future
