cials. he said, would be judged by
the electorate.
The person responsible for ap-
pointing officials should have a
"yardstick" to remove them from
Office if they are not satisfactory
Mr.. Hilder said. He said if en-
forcement was within jurisdiction
of the County Board, the CON
trolling element" could strike up
witch hunts"
MIR. Potter, who said the Re-
publican Committee had not met
since he had been invited to ap-
pear before the commission, held
a code to be enforceable should
be mandatory and not discretion
ary.
Arlington. he said, is not getting
its "best talent" to run for Office.
He favored a strong two-party
system and an improved wage
scale on both county and State
levels.
Mr.. Smith did not share the con-
cern Of some of the speakers or of
some Of the commission members
over enforcement. He said that if
the commission succeeds in draft
ing a reasonable code of ethics
acceptable to the people, enforce
ment will follow by the electorate
at the ballot box. He suggested
a code of ethics for official con-
duct as well as a code Of ethics
for officials and described the task
of the commission as difficult.
Chairman Marx is professor of
political science at American Uni
versity. He said any code of ethics
for elected officials would depend
for its enforcement on the voters.
A code for appointed officials, on
the other hand, could be controlled
through the supervisory authority
Of the County Board. He said any
code should echo" the feelings
of the people of the County.
Frank L. Ball. sr., former State
Senator and an Arlington at
torney, also member of the COM
mission, questioned enforcement
Of a code of ethics. He said it
would not be difficult to arrive at
a code but there must be a watch
dog" to make it effective.
The Rev. Paul r. Hunter, pastor
of the Rock Spring Congrega-
tional Church, a third commission
member, declared there is only one
standard of morality. He said the
commission must be both realis-
tic and not too idealistic in estab-
fishing code Of ethics.
Chan Gurney. former Senator
from South Dakota, was absent
from the commission meeting but
John j. Corson. management con-
sultant. took an active part in the
discussion. He said a code Of
ethics could apply to elected Of
f1cials, department heads and the
rank and file of local government

Shortages May Halt
Building at Colleges
In Maryland Virginia

College and university building
projects already under way ir
Maryland and Virginia may be
halted by the shortage of steel
and other scare metals, it was in
dicated today.
Earl j. McGrath, commissioner
of education, warned institutions
Of higher education that he may
be required to call back steel and
other materials already allotted
for university and library projects
in the first quarter of 1852.
To "Weed Out" Least Essential.
j. T. Thomas. consultant at the
Office Of Education, said this may
affect projects in Maryland and
Virginia, but a definite decision
will depend on studies to be made
The projects were not listed.
1--WE will have to weed out those
OF least essentially or lowest
priority" he said.
No projects now under way in
the District will be affected, he
added. He explained that George
town and Howard Universities
have not had to call on the Office
Of Education for critical ma
terials because the projects are
far along toward completion and
they obtained their supplies before
restrictions developed.
Among projects being delayed
by materials shortages is a 81
million dental school building for
Howard University. It has not
yet been started.
Mr.. McGrath said in his state
ment that the Defense Production
Administration took the response
bility for deciding that no more
than $4,000 Of the Ill, 900 tons of
steel allotted to education should
be used for colleges. universities
and libraries in the first quarter
of 1852.
Gives Figures.
ITO continue the college, uni
versity and library projects al
ready under construction in the
first quarter would require 1886
TONS" he said.
ITO commence construction on
new projects in the first quarter
would require 22,878 tons. or a
total Of 48,414 tons. With the
|DPA ALLEGATION of $4,000 tons
there will remain q net deficit
of 34.414 tons for projects in the
field OF higher education and

Consequently, Mr.. McGrath
said. the call back Of materials
already allotted may be necessary.
