The Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee deals with many i'm
portant matters, and of particular
interest are those relating to af-
fairs of Puerto Rico and various
territories and possessions of the
United States, the administration

and national monuments and

service however is Making" the
Committee on Commerce.
Under the jurisdiction of this
Committee are legislation relating
to transportation and communica-

Switzerland Jails
Citizens Who Join
Foreign Armies

GENEVA R-Switzerland, once
the supplier of the best mercenary
soldiers in Europe, now claps into
prison any Of her sons who return
from service in the French Foreign
Legion or other foreign armies.
Back in the 18th century Swiss
mercenaries were famed for their
fighting qualities and eagerly
sought by Europe's warning ma
tons. The Swiss Army has not
fought war for nearly a century
and half now, but the old SkillS
are still there and every yea more
than 300 Swiss sign up for five
years in the French Foreign Leg
ion.
A number of returning legion
naires are now on trial in Zurich
military court. One of the former
legionnaires testified that in his
brigade in Indochina one-sixth of
the soldiers were Swiss and most
of the rest German.
Although Swiss law specifically
prohibits foreign military service,

Smathers Anticipates Hard
Work On New Committees Job

WASHINGTON: -Members of
The Senate have now drawn their
committee assignments and it is
with real satisfaction, and in am
hcipation of great deal of hard
work, that / view my own places
on the Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee and the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee.
With Senator Holland remaining
on the Committees on Agriculture
and Public Works, it seems that
Florida will be in a most favorable
position to have voice in a num-
Der of matters before the Congress
TO which the states interests are
linked.
It is with a feeling of real re-
greet that l leave the Committee
on Post Office and Civil Service.
The problems relating to the post
al service and to the civil SER
wants of the people had attracted
much of my attention during the
past year. Last year / was sue
cessful in efforts to gain small
but merited increase in annuities
for retired civil workers, thou
sands of whom live in Florida, and
had expected again this year to
review this problem. Since the re-
tirement fund belongs to these
workers and is not contributed by
the taxpayers, their needs and
wishes should be given great
weight in deciding upon any
changes in the monthly withdraw
ais. / win not lessen my interest
in the welfare of federal employees

the same court tried approximate
ly so such cases last year. Federal
police say that at least 800 Swiss
enter the legion every year and
almost all of them are sent to
Indochina.
They receive about $40 month
for service in Indochina, otherwise
about SCI monthly. Most of the
Swiss volunteers are either lured
into the legion by visions of foreign
adventure or impelIed to join by
unfortunate love affairs or family
troubles, police say. Their average
age is %.

Identification OF
Dogs Is Popular

CHARLESTON, W. Va. R-West
Virginia citizens are taking to "dog
tag" Identification pieces in big

Col. Sites said that more than

"But that is what happened"

u. 5. Agent Reported
Missing on Sakha|in
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Sunday, Jan. 18.-
Kyodo News Agency reported
yesterday that a purported
United States secret agent and
four japanese fishermen disap-
peared more than three years
ago while attempting to land on
Russian-held Sakhalin, north of
Japan'S main islands.
Kyodo said the information
was given to the japanese diet
judiciary committee which is
investigating another reported
espionage case involving Wataru
Kali, a leftist writer. Kali said
he was held secretly for a year
by United States intelligence
agents.
The United States embassy has
denied Kaji'S allegation.
Kyodo said the newly disclosed
case involved an American in
telligence officer identified only
as 1t. Ruble, who assertedly went
to Hokkaido Island August 20.
1949 to persuade a fishing crew
to land an American agent on
Sakhalin.
Kyodo said Nobuo Saito, former
head of a Hokkaido fishing
company, told the judiciary COM
mittee Thursday that he made
arrangements for the 1949 mis-
sion but the fishing boat with
four men and the American
agent disappeared. He expressed
belief that the missing men now
were prisoners in Siberia.
There was no immediate COM
ment from the United States
authorities.

Mr.. Dulles will retain owner
ship Of his New York residence,
which was the scene of confer
ences Gen. Eisenhower held with
former President Hoover and
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. He
said he also would keep his sum-
mer residence at Cold Spring
Harbor, on Long Island.
Mr.. Dulles laughed when asked
whether the FBI, which he asked
to investigate him upon his
nomination for the cabinet post,
had given a clear bill.
Gen. Eisenhower received a
confidential report, and if there
was anything wrong I wouldn't
be here now" he said.

The ceremony marked the end
of the George Washington BIZ
centennial observance in Alex
andria.
Washington Offers Fund.
George Washington had ex-
pressed interest in the schooling
of poor children for some years
before the academy was organ
lied. Aware of this, about 35 of
Alexandria's leading citizens of
the day approached Washington
about giving financial help to the
new school they wanted to build.
Washington agreed to put up
1000 pounds-about $4,000 in
those days. Income from this
fund was to be used for the edu-
cation of poor children, and chill
dren of soldiers who died in the
Revolution.
So on April 81, 1785 a site for
the academy was bought by Will
liam Hartshorne, one of the
original trustees. The corner
stone was laid on September 7,
1785 by the Alexandria Lodge of
MasonS, its first such ceremony
The Lodge. then was known as
Lodge No. 80, Ancient York Ma
sons, and George Washington
was its first worshipful master
A plate was affixed to the corn
erstone, but it was missing when
the stone was unearthed in 1928,
and has never been found.
With Washingtons blessing,
organizers of the Academy then
went about getting a charter
from the Virginia General AS
senbly in 1885. Washington S
name was not listed among the
charter petitioners, but his in
fluence was apparent in several
references to him in the charter
request. The petition mentioned
Gen. Washington's financial help
in schooling poor children, and
stated that of the 100 scholars
enrolled the first year, about 20
were receiving their education
by Gen. Washington's benefac-
ton.
Leaves Fund in Will.
The editor of Washington S
diaries, DR.. John c. Fitzpatrick.
found that the general was not
able to put up the 1000 pounds
as he had promised. Instead, he
agreed to pay so pounds annually
and arrange a permanent 1000
pound endowment in his will.
This he did by leaving trustees
of the school 20 shares of stock
in the Bank of Alexandria, then
worth $4,000.

Ex-Gov. Peterson Hinted

Val Peterson, former Governor

accept a position in the Eisen-

not require Senate confirmation,
it was learned here last night.
Reports had been published
that indicated Mr.. Peterson
might be nominated for Ambas-
Sador to India.
Nebraska papers published the
reports before such Republicans
as Senator Butler were consulted
on the possible appointment.
Senator Butler, who refused
direct comment on the report
that Mr.. Peterson had been
asked to take a lesser job than
ambassador in the new govern
ment, said:
Il think he will be offered a

ter. The General Assembly de-
MED an accompanying request
that revenue from billiard tables
and taverns in the city of Alex
andria be vested in the trustees
for the benefit of the Academy.
Probably the most famous
Academy graduate was Robert
E. Lee. He was graduated in
1924.
The LancaSterian School was
built in 1912 witha $4,000 grant
of the Alexandria City Council.
1t was built so the smaller chill
dren could be moved from the
Academy. The. Lancasterian
School was placed under con-
troll of the Academy trustees
on condition the city could send
at least 200 children at any time
without tuition.
Financial Troubles Begin.
The Academy started having
financial difficulty in 1916. It
was open intermittently from
1929 to 1885. It's history for the
next SO years is obscure. In 1853
is passed into private hands
when Edward Powell acquired
it. The last private owner was
a Joseph Howell. who left the
property to the Alexandria
School Board on his death in
1884.
The Academy may have been
operated as a private school un-
der some Of the private owners.
No one seems sure whether it
was. or whether it served for a
time as a private home.
The building was abandoned
now and again as new schools
were built in the city.
1t was pressed into service as
a nursery school for working
mothers during World Was II.
After the war, the school popula-
ton had increased so much the
Academy again was needed for
claSsrOomS.
