By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. July 10.-The
State Department of the Ameri-
can Legion was on record today
in support of Gen. Milton A.
Reckord's criticism of the mill
tary service law.

granted to young men who may
never be called on to wear a
uniform.
The Legionnaires also passed a
resolution citing the danger of
disbandonment of the Maryland
Air National Guard because of

Five Crewmen Saved
As Blasts and Fire
Destroy River Barge

Five men were rescued from a
fire-swept Potomac River barge
early today after three explo-
sions.
The 110-foot wooden hulk,
with a 90-foot steel boom dan
Cling over its side, was still
Smoldering south Of National
Airport at mid-morning and
probably will burn most of the
day. f1remen said.
Shallow water kept the Dis
trict f1reboat, William T. Belt,
several hundred yards away.
Distance from the shore also
prevented early fire fighting by
Alexandria's No. 4 Engine Co.,
which was the first to answer
the call.
One Fireman Injured.
The five crewmen, all from the
Washington area, were taken of
the blazing craft by another en-
ploye who brought small boat
out from shore. They were un-
injured, but one fireman, Pvt.
William B. Batten, Is, of los
Joliet street S.W., was slightly
hurt when he fell through a
hatch.
The five men. rescued by John
D. Fisher, 1922 Willborn street,
Bethesda, were: William Wind
ish, 210 North Washington street,
Alexandra; Ernest c. Backes,
1920 Westmoreland street, Falls
Church; Robert Bonnefond, 801
East Capitol street; Ernest c.
Clay, Dumfries, Va, and William
B. Holloway, 2720 North Nash
street, Alexandria.
Digging Trench for Gable.
The barge, owned by the Bal
timore Construction Co., Inc. of
Baltimore. has been digging a
trench on the river bottom for
new Potomac Electric Power
Co. cable. The crewmen lived
aboard.
They said the first explosion
apparently came from a leak in
an oil line from a storage tank
to an engine. The next two
blasts came from tanks of acety-
lene gas used for welding.
The gas, diesel fuel and gaso-
line fed the flames.
Firemen took off two large
drums of gasoline before the fire
reached one end of the barge
They said the barge is a total
loss, but no estimate was made
of the damage.

Citizen Committee
Asks County School
Data for Guidance

The Prince Georges County
School Board has been asked by
a citizens committee to spell out
its difficulties and enumerate its
income and expenditures.
The committee, chosen by the
county commissioners and the
Board of Education, held its first
meeting last night to hear q
report by School Supt. William
S. Schmidt.
Mr.: Schmidt said the problem
Is whether the county should try
to make greater use of it's exist
ing facilities or in some way pro-
ceed with an expanded building
program.
The problem has been brought
on, he said, by the county's in
creasing population and impend-
ing freeze of the tax base.
$26 Million Program.
The current construction pro-
gram, begun in 1946 and expect
ed to reach completion In the
fall Of 1854, totals more than
$26 million, he said. Even so,
Mr.. Schmidt added, the popula-
tion influx will necessitate the
use of double shifts next fall in
the Ager Road, Langley Park,
Seat Pleasant, Landover Hills
and Suitland Schools.
He explained that the greatest
influx will be in the first grades
and that, in six years, the need
for high school facilities will be
virtually doubled.
If the Government gave the
county money in proportion to
the number of county residents
in its employment, the building
program would be enriched SIS
million, he said.
Commissioner Edward J.
Waters has said he will oppose
further bond sales. He has point
ed out that the county's bonded
indebtedness now totals $25 mil
lion, of which $21 million is for
school buildings. -
Base to Be Frozen.
A new law, effective January
l, requires that the county'S tax
base, expected to be about $400
million, will be frozen at that
dgure until 1857.
Mr.. Schmidt promised the
committee secretarial service
meeting sites and board data in
its attempt to suggest remedy
He emphasized, however, the
committee will act in an ad-
visory capacity and will not have
a final word in such matters as
the sites of new schools.
The committee decided to take
no official action until specific
questions and data are received
from the School Board. The
group will meet at 8 pm. July %
at a place to be decided later.
Officers unanimously elected
were T. Howard Duckett, chair
man Of the board of the Subur-
ban Trust Co., named chairman
and w. Carroll Beatty, Hyatts-
vile attorney, secretary.
Other members of the advisory
committee present last night in
