grandstand. saw an engineers
MA (Sherman) tank, outfitted
with a bulldozer nose, cut through
"a log tank trap to scoop out
mines and fill up a crater. Next,
with covering fire from the tanks,
the engineers moved a bridge
across a creek.
With infantry riflemen de-
ployed at their sides, the engineers
then showed how to pave the way
with explosives.
Jet Propelled Snake.
One of the most effective. the
MI Snake" is a jet-propelled
aluminium tube, 100 feet long,
filled with explosive. When the
snake" reaches a distance of $50
feet, cable automatically deto-
mates the long, orm-like pro-
jectile.
Cutting through barbed wire
masses with torpedoes, the engi-
neers' final contribution was to
place against a side of the pill
box a charge of heavy explosive,
capable of blowing a hole through
three feet of reinforced concrete.
After that, the infantry moved in
with flame-throwers and small
arms to take the position.

Arlington Board Lets
County Street Repair
Contract for S139,2OO

BY a 80 vote the Arlington
County Board last night awarded
the annual surface treatment con-
tract for county roads to the Ar
|lington Asphalt Co. The bid was
$139, 200.
The action ended two months
of indecision. The board in June
rejected all bids when it was dis
covered that a legal requirement
had been overlooked in the first
advertisement. New bids received
July 5 were approximately 81 per
cent higher than the June offers.
This prompted the board to
consider having the work done by
county equipment and crews. The
board was told last night that the
county would have an estimated
$12, 500 If this plan were followed.
About one-third of the county's
street mileage is involved.
Private Work Favored.
Board Chairman Daniel A. Du-
gan and Members r. Freeland
Chew and Alfred E. Frisbie gave
as a majority view that it would
be better for the county if the
work were given to private con-
tractor. Members Robert w. Cox
and Mrs. Florence Cannon dis
agreed.
The board also named a COM
mittee to work out details for con-
struction of four swimming pools.
AS proposed by Mr.. Cox. who rep
resents the board on the County
Recreation Council. there would
be year-round pools at the Hoff-
Boston CNegro) High School
and at Washington-Lee High
School. and outdoor pools in the
Four Mile Run and Greenbrier
Park areas. All would be devel-
oped in a cooperative school and
county recreational program.
Voters Approved Bonds.
County voters last week, by a
35-vote margin, approved a $780,
900 bond issue for swimming
pools.
Named to the committee last
night were Mr.. Cox; Barnard Joy
of the school board; w. A. Rich
ardson, recreation department di-
rector; E. J. Braun, assistant
schools superintendent; Max
Wehrli of the planning commits
sion, and Matt Huppuch, Leonard
Hilder and William Hillenbrand
citizen members.
Meanwhile, it was announced
that a $10,24o loan to Arlington
County for planning a swimming
pool and community stadium has
been approved by the Housing
and Home Finance Agency.
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg said plans for the pool could
be used for other pools at various
locations in the county.
Erection of the stadium is
planned at the Greenbriar play
ground, Twenty seventh and
Greenbriar streets, North. Its
capacity has not yet been deter
mined.

After watching the Army's COM
bat engineers in action, about $50
West Point cadets moved in today
for a closer look at what makes
the Corps of Engineers tick.
Yesterday, with battlefield real
ism the keynote, they saw q
picked team of combat engineers
pave the way for an armored-
infantry attack over an 1,100-yard
mo mans land" at a Belvoir COM
bat range.
For the West Pointers, all mem
bers of the Military Academy S

ton today, they divided into three
groups to watch as many demon
Strations.
At Tompkins Basin on the Po-
tomac River today, members of
the Pontoon School set up float
ing metal bridges, "prefab" build
ings, a portable airplane hangar
and even a portable sawmill to
show what they can handle in
the way of massive equipment.
At the heavy equipment" area
north of Accotink on Route 613,
another group demonstrated
equipment used for digging, hoist
ing and carrying out other me-
chanical assignments.
The operation of Engineer sup
ply troops was featured in the
third demonstration at the Lor-
ton Combat Range near Pohick
Greek. AS a highlight, a special
unit showed the cadets how to
make topographic and photomaps
under field conditions.
In each of the demonstrations,

ment under study at the Engineer

ment of Harry E. Wells as city

signed.
No Reason Given.
The Mayor said Mr.. .Hink had
submitted his immediate" resig-
nation in a letter. The council
man gave no reason.
Mr.. Hink was among those WHO
voted last Wednesday to discharge
Mr.. Dunn but later voted with
the majority on a special COM
mittee that recommended Mr..
Dunn's reappointment.

appointment of Mr.. Wells is
amply justified" Mr.. Van Meter
said he had cleared" the appoint
ment with "a leading Virginia city
manager" and "a New York bond
attorney" The city attorney said

is withdrawn or dismissed, school
bonds can be legally issued bearing
Mr.. Wells signature.
| A 100000 school bond issue has
been sold by the city but cannot
be delivered until the documents
are signed by the manager.
Mr.. McCrary warned his fellow
councilman that if they contested
the injunction they would be ask
ing to be made the laughing stock
of Virginia" He called the coun-
ellis action arbitrary and capric-
lous," and said "an appointment Of
rubber stamp is an outrage to
the community"

jected to the councils procedure
in ouSting the former manager.
Councilman John C. McRae
was not present.
Mayor Orme said Mr.. Dunf1's
work was wholly unsatisfactory"

tee, criticized Mr.. Dunn's record
in estimating the cost of city pro-
jectS and in keeping the council

formance as manager"

two of the clubs have decided not
to compete.
The Hayden Merchants, who
were the surprise team of the
league all season because of their
unexpected strength, were forced
to forfeit all nine of their victor
les when it was learned that their
ace pitcher, Harold Blessing, had
violated league rule by playing
in another league. The Merchants
have therefore decided not to en-
ter the playoffs since the loss of
Blessings pitching skill would
prove too much of a handicap.
Edwards Funeral Home was also
forced to abandon playoff plans
since most Of their roster, which
is composed of East Cleveland
Police and Firemen, would be un-
able to play because of conflict
ing working schedules.
Tonight's opener at 700 p. m.

scheduled for 700 p. m., Cleveland

place with an ia record, will

four teams will play on double

Monopoly lobbyists would be
content to let this language re-
main, because unsupported, it is
merely language. They know
that small business also has
small capitalization, and it re-
uuires immediate cash reserves
to compete with monopolies for
contracts.
But this same bill also pro-
videS machinery for the govern
ment 10 make loans, participate
in loans, or guarantee loans to
small business for production
expansion. Furthermore 1t pro-
vides that government financial
assistance may be given only
when 1t is not otherwise avail
able on reasonable terms. And
as everyone knows, monopolieS
cannot show they are unable to
obtain reasonable loans. The
total loans outstanding at any
one time would be limited to two
billion dollars.
The fight promises to be bitter.
If enough pressure is eXerted by
small business, especially by
small manufacturers, the bill
can go through as set up. This
would result in healthy local pay
rolls, with subsequently healthy
local business, widely distri-
buted over the entire nation.
There are many reasons why
supporters Of the bill want it
passed.
For one thing they say 1t
would keep small business, the
backbone of the national econ
Ony, from being destroyed in the
emergency. 1t would also insure
widespread distribution of ma
tional production so no single
atomic bomb blast could knock
out the country. 1t would also
prevent again the migration of
workers to a few Overcrowded
centers where inadequate shell
ter and transportation breeds
disease; unhealthy social condi-
tions.
