Last Government Girls
Clear Arlington Farms
For Use by Army
LFrom Yesterdays Final Edition

(Erom Yesterdays Final Edition.
Arlington Farms, the Govern
ment dormitories where $500 girls
were quartered at the peak of the
war, will be turned over to the
Army permanently on September
l, the Public Buildings Service
said yesterday.
About go girls remaining in the
project have until 6 o'clock last
night to vacate. Under prear-
ranged plans, they are moving
into apartments, rooming houses
and private homes. and some are
leaving the city.
Because the Army owns the site
of Arlington Farms, officials de-
termined some weeks ago the prof.
ect should be turned back to the
military. Hereafter, it will be
known as part of the south post
of Fort Myer. which it adjoins.
Between now and September 1
some of the buildings will be con-
verted into apartments for Army
and Air Force officers and their
families, on duty in the military
district of Washington. Other
dormitories will be turned over as
quarters for enlisted men and
others will be used for offices.
An inventory will be made Of
the complete project before turn
ing it over to the Army for future
operations. Plans were made
weeks before the Korean situa-
ton arose to divert the dorma-
tories to Army use.

Crash Kills Col. C.. J. Hubbard,
Weather Bureaus Arctic Chief
Eight Others Perish
In Plane Explosion
500 Miles From Pole

From Yesterdays Final Edition. }
Col. Charles Joseph Hubbard, 48,
chief of the Arctic section of the
Weather Bureau, was killed Mon
day in an airplane crash on
Ellesmere Island in the Canadian
Arctic about 500 miles from the
North Pole.
Word of his death was received
by the Weather Bureau yesterday.
Col Hubbard lived with his
family in Washington at 1877
Potomac street NV. He was in
ternationally famous as an Arctic
explorer and polar meteorologist.
The Weather Bureau said it was
notified that all persons aboard
the plane. including Col. Hubbard
and eight others, perished. The
plane, a Canadian Lancaster,
crashed and exploded while
dropping supplies by parachute to
a weather station near Alert, on
Ellesmere Island. The station is
believed to be the northernmost
of any in the world.
The Associated Press said in q
dispatch from Ottawa that seven
of the victims We're RCAF air1nen

of the Canadian Department OF
Transport.

Col. Hubbard helped establish,
the station there last spring. The
accident occurred near the site
where in 1948 he discovered a
flask containing original docu-
ments left there by Admiral
Peary on his trip to the pole in
1905.
Chief of the Weather Bureaus
Arctic section since April, 1916,
Col. Hubbard has established six
observation stations in the far

status employees remaining in Gov

the blanketing in order does not
apply to former employees.
But here's the irony. Many of

regular civil service exams and, as
a result, faced dismissal from their
jobs, until the Civil Service Com
mission the other day held up
their dismissals. Now. they not
only will keep their jobs, but there
is every indication they will be
automatically given permanent
status as we'll.
At the same time, these en-
ployes who did pass regular civil
service exams, but who had the
bad luck to lose their jobs be-
cause of economy reasons during
the past few months, will not be
eligible for permanent status.
INCONSISTENT - These en-
ployes don't begrudge the non
status workers their good fortune
in remaining on the Federal pay
roll and being in line for perma-
nent status. But they do feel that
they, too, should be given perma-
nent status and Federal job pri-
ority rights.
Their views are backed privately
by considerable number of Fed
eral officials, who say that the
Civil Service Commissions action
in the whole matter is very in

NEW YORK, Aug. IA red

held the Smith Act and the con-
viction under it of the Nations II
Top Communist leaders.
The unanimous opinion OF three
d judges was tuned to the times,
citing the Korean war and Pres
ident Truman's fastest warning
against subversiVes.
Judge Harrie B. Chase praised
" Congress for it's foresight in en-
acting the Smith Act 10 years ago.
He called American Communists
. allies. if not tools of Soviet Russia.
Judge Chase said the act does
, not outlaw the Communist Party
and does not outlaw revolutionary
thought. Under it, he added, a
person may urge the ablition OF
. Congress and the courts, an end
. to freedom Of speech and press
and other changes in basic Amer

What it does prohibit" Judge
Chase wrote, "is the urging OF
action to accomplish such changes
/. as these by forcible means"

. The II Communist leaders
were convicted last fall of con-
! spring to advocate the violent
overthrow of the United States
Government. That is viola
tion of the Smith Act.

!. the decision was made public.
: At the time of their convic-
! tions. they publicly vowed to
carry their appeals to the United
States Supreme Court. The Cir
!. cult Court of Appeals is the last
stop before the high court.

All but Dennis are free on bonds
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
Dennis is in Jail on another
charge.
Judge Learned Hand wrote the
main opinion-a 66-page decision.
Justice Thomas w. Swan agreed
with it. Judge Chase wrote his
own opinion of seven pages, reach
ing the same conclusions as the
others.
Judge Hand wrote that "ob-
viously one cannot teach or ad-
vocate the use of violence without
specifically intending to bring
about its use"
Trial Judge Harold R. Medina
was attacked bitterly by the de-
PENDANTS for his conduct of the
long trial. Said Judge Hand:
The record disclosed a judge
sorely tried for many months of
turmoil. constantly provoked by
useless pickering, exposed to Of
fensive Sights and insults, har-
ried with interminable repetition,
who showed considerably
greater f-control and forebear-
ance than it is given to most
judges to possess"

Mi|k-Scoring Method
Chemical SferiIizinq

Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger today was considering the
method by which dairy farmers
serving the Washington milk mar
ket will be scored for use of
chemical sterilization methods.
The Commissioners yesterday
decided to amend the District
milk regulations to permit farmers
using chemical methods to comply
with local restrictions. but to give
preference to those using steam.
At present. under a temporary
relaxation of the rules, chemical
sterilization is being permitted as
well as steam.
The permanent regulations,
however. provided that a farmer
using steam methods be given Is
points on his farm score, while
one using chemicals was denied
these points.
This meant that a farmer
sterilizing his equipment with
chemicals could get only IS of the
100 points permissible, if he had
a perfect score otherwise.
Passing score is 10, health Off
cials said, but most approved
farms get a 90 rating. The higher
a farmers score, the higher his
pay from the dairies, which pay on
a premium basis.
DR.. Seckinger has advocated the
permitting of chemical steriliza-
ton on the same basis as steam.
Under the Commissioners decision
yesterday. however, he must fix a
differential in the scoring to give
steam preference.
