Whether they were Indians or
cowboys, the youngsters who
spent two weeks this summer at
Camps Good Will and Pleasant
think their "home on the range"
was a fine place to be.
| The return yesterday of the last
of 1856 children from the two
camps in Prince William Forest
Park, Va. - the Indians" from
Camp Pleasant and the "cowboys"
from Camp Good Will - was
marked by longing shouts of Il
wanna go back to camp"
Their vacation at camp was
made possible by the generosity of
local citizens.
| AS the children, ages 9 to II,
settle back into routine living in
their homes in the Washington
area, another group of 1872 young
sters with heart ailments are pre-
pairing to leave for the camps
Wednesday.
Nine-year -old Karen Kemp OF

were dished out at the camp
tables.
The camps are operated by the
Summer Outings Committee of the
Family and Child Services of
Washington.
The children's two weeks were
periods of rest, work and play
such as many of them had never
known. They engaged in sports
programs, learned basket and belt
weaving, and many new camping
songs. They had plenty of
archery, dances, music and poetry.
More than 180 children learned
to swim, float or paddle during
the season. Each child received
daily swimming lesson and a
swimming period.
| Camp officials said there was
less homesickness apparent this
year than any other and no
serious injuries, accidents or ILL
nesSes were reported.
The campers from Camp Good
Will arrived home last Thursday
and those from Camp Pleasant
yesterday.
Farewell ceremonies at both
camps were observed by the chill
dren, all of whom lighted candles
mounted on blocks of wood, which
they launched into the camp lakes
after dark.
Another big and final occur
renee was a birthday party for
each child. They were separated
at tables according to their month
of birth, and each child had a
cake with candles.
The children were provided for

Long distance is imperiling
the fine art of the urban house
wife's telephone chats.
Remember the movie scene
where the nearest telephone was
only 80 feet of trailing cord
and one butler away? Com
municationS haven't reached
that convenience in a score or
more of booming housing de-
velopments in the Washington
area
The urban Great Debate now
involves only whether the ur-
gency of the situation is worth
the long walk to the phone.
Because the vast home-build-
ing program long ago raced
past the Chesapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone Company's blue
prints of probable maximum
requirements, the outdoor phone
booth is a familiar sight.
Deceptive in appearance, 1t
stands in many a development
"a lonely sentinel of communi-
cation for scores of families.
Some are what may be de-
scribed as the plush" product;
glass-paneled and neatly paint
ed. Others, quickly thrown to-
gether with plywood, are strict
ly in the deceptive category. If
the glass-windowed ones are
imperiling the housewives chats
merely from geographical
standpoint, the plywood pro-
ductions are keeping alive the
fine art of doodling.
On the walls may be found
the plumbers telephone num-
ber, the construction super
intendent's, the landscape mans
or a hastily-scribbled note to a
friend who may be expected
along ldCeT III Clle IuOI 1llIlS.
For some residents. the booths
are only a street-crossing away.
For others it may be blocks.
Many a back-track has been
traced because the caller left
the house without the nickel
for the pay phone slot.
In at least one development
residents have been without a
home telephone for seven
months. In others, the time
ranges from 80 days up. In
one, the single telephone is for
the use of 1876 families.

Virginia Legion
Asked to0ppose
Veterans Bonus
Committee Report
Stresses Burden on
Treasury Of State
BY the Associated Press

ROANOKE, Va, Aug. 13.-Ine
American Legion in Virginia today
was asked to adopt a report op-
posing a State bonus for war vet
Grams.
The report. drawn up by the
Legion's legislative committee,
said there is no sound reason or
justification for a State bonus,
since all service men in time of
war are in the service of the Ma
ton rather than of their respec-
tive states or localities.
IF there is need or Justification
for any sort of bonus. cash or
otherwise, that need should be met
by the national Government in
whose service all veterans were, !"
the report said.
Furthermore, it added, "in order
to provide any sort of State bonus
up to the average of the other
states, Virginia would face a bond
issue or special taxes sufficient to
raise between eighty and one
hundred million dollars.
Equals Entire Income.
This amount almost equals the
entire tax income of the State of
Virginia from every source in a
year."
The legislative committee re-
port. signed by committee chair
man John J. Wicker, jr., of Rich
mond, said that when the next
General Assembly meets in 1852,
"unquestionably some members
will introduce bills calling for
a Virginia State bonus" For this
reason, it said, the committee felt
it must take stand on the issue.
The report said "the Senators
and congressman of the State of
Virginia gave excellent support to
veterans legislation as a whole"
since the last Legion meeting,
land in fact the record of Virginia
stands at the top in this regard" i"
Cites Soldiers Vote.
It called attention to legion ac-
ton which, through the governor
and attorney general. made it pos
sihle for Virginia soldiers on active
duty to vote in primary and gen.
eral elections
Both Gov. Battle and Attorney
General Almond responded in the
most sympathetic and effective
way" the report said.
The committee, however, recon-
mended that the convention adopt
a resolution requesting the 1852
General Assembly Ito pass appro-
pirate war voter legislation, which
will remain effective at all times.
Progress on Memorial.
The committee said steady and
substantial progress" is being
made in the construction of the
Virginia World War II memoria,

to the armed forces. But "every
effort is being made to spread
the service as<much as possible
by offering party-line service to
customers in critical areas" he
said.
The next 80 days will bring
vast changes, officials of the
telephone company promise.
Gables are up and in some cases
instruments are installed. Ex-
change equipment is being put
in place.
Even then, some telephones
will be on four party lines until
further expansion can be made.
Private lines will be scarcer than
home television sets in 1928.
Until then, the urban house
wife will have to be satisfied
with the electric garbage dis
posal unit, the electric ironer
and washing machine, indirect
lighting and two medicine chests
in every bathroom.

Objections
To Burke Site
.AreForeseen
Airport Opponents
Will Offer More
Dutu to CAA

Opponents of the selection OF
Burke, Va, as the site for WASH
ington's big new airport said to-
day new representations would be
made to the Civil Aeronautics ADJ
against the choice.
Charles F. O'Neall, attorney for
the Burke Airport Relocation
Committee, disclosed he was ask
ing an immediate conference with
Frederick B. Lee, deputy CAA ad-
ministrator. in order to present
additional objections to the air.
port development plan.
Mr.. O,Neall acted quickly after
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
ruled against further public hear
ings on the controversial site. Mr..
Sawyer announced Saturday that
he would request the Attorney
General to proceed Immediately
with acquisition of 4,500 acres Of
land for the multi-million dollar
airport 1712 miles southwest of
Washington.
Secretary Sawyer's announce
ment was accompanied by an in
dorsement of the site selection by
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and by CAA
Administrator c. F. Horne's de-
tailed replies to objections the
Burke citizens have raised.
k More Objections Promised.
Mr.. O'Neall said today he would
offer additional objections to the
site when he sees Deputy CAA Ad-
miniStrator Lee, and added that if
the Government persists in going
ahead with the project, he would
ask the courts to intervene.
The attorney contended that the
District has no right to condemn
land in Virginia and asserted the
State of Virginia could refuse to
grant a license for operation of
the airport.
Mr.. O'Neall charged that the
Government delayed publication
OF the Planning Commission re-
port for approximately a week,
releasing it simultaneously with
the Horne report and Secretary
Sawyer'S announcement, so that
there was no opportunity to make
point-b point replies.
"We reject the gambit offered
by the Government to toss the
entire Burke problem to the people
in an indigestible quantity" the
Iattorney said. "The issues in
Ivolved are entirely too important
Ito Washington, Fairfax County
and Northern Virginia to be dis
cussed in such a manner. The is
sues we have raised have not been
met.
CAA Failure Charged.
1--WE intend to make it as clear
to the people as it is to engineer
ing experts that CAA has failed to
give adequate and relevant an
SWerS."
Mr.. ONeall also asked that the
public reserve decision on the
Park and Planning Commission
report. He said:
"The text of the NCPPC report
may seem, to the unwary reader,
to lndorSe the Burke selection.
However. the NCPPC report is
expressly limited to general reg
ional planning considerations and
the commission itself admits that
it has no authority to make spe-
ciflc planning decisions for Fair
fax County"
Mr.. O'Neall also said the COM
mission report expressly states
that it had not reviewed the suit
ability of the Burke site.
