3-AIurn1 Fire Bi|Iows Smoke
From Old Building Being Raced

A three-alarm fire at the old
w. B. Moses Building early to-
day was brought under control
quickly.
Firemen said the blaze was
confined to the sixth floor of the
structure. The building, at
Eleventh and F streets NV, is
being RACED to make way for
shops and a parking garage.
Fire Chief Willard H. Sutton
said cause of the blaze had not
been determined officially, but
that a possible cause was that
equipment such as hot blow
torches may have been left too
close to combustible material.
First alarm was sounded at
1916 am. by Pvts. r. A. Phelps
and S. r. Alexander of the first
precinct. They had been sent
to investigate a report that smoke
was pouring from the building.
Pvt. Phelps said that when they
arrived they saw not only smoke,
but flames pouring from top floor
windows.

Eying Veteran Vote,
Byrd Says He'll Sign
Bonus Bill II Passed
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 24.-Dr.
H. C. Byrd, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, flirted boldly
with the veterans vote here last
night, promising: IF a bonus
bill passes the Legislature when
I'm Governor, I will sign it,"
DR.. Byrd also said he would
eliminate" a State retail sales
tax on clothing and household
items.
While he was accusing the
Republican administration of
breaking similar promises, chair
men of the Republican county
central committees were meet
ing in closed session here to
plan campaign strategy.
DR.. Byrd announced that Ste
phen A. Mitchell, chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee. would be in Baltimore
Monday to attend a luncheon of
about IS Democrats.

ton at a meeting of precinct

he broke that pledge by vetoing
it."
DR.. Byrd also accused the Nc
Keldin administration of break
ing a pledge to scrap the sales
tax on clothes and household
items.
He urged the workers to tell
the voters the Democrats were
emphasizing three things in their
campaign: That the Republican
administration has broken
pledges, that it has made false
claims and that the Democrats
intend to keep the promises they
make during the campaign.
What went on at the Repub-
lican strategy meeting wasn't
known. Gov. McKeldin and
Attorney General D. E. Rollins
were scheduled to speak, but
their ADJUSTMENTS also were
secret.

Brandon School,
Due 10 Become
Police Station
Tentative Accord
On 2-Yeur Lease
By County Reached

Arlington County and school
officials have reached tentative
agreement on a plan to use the
empty Brandon School on
Shirley highway as county
police station.
The County Board will give
final consideration to the plan
at a meeting next Wednesday.
Under the proposal. the county
would rent the building from
the School Board for two years.
At the end of that time, it
would be decided whether the
school should be reopened.
Now Scattered.
The present police department
is on Courthouse Square, in the
basement of the new Courthouse
wing, the old jail and a remod-
eled home across North Uhle
street from the Courthouse. The
move has the Endorsement of the
Arlington Development Commit
tee, an advisory group to the
County Board.
The school, named Brandon
last year when it was changed
from a junior high to an elemen-
tary school, was abandoned after
the Shirley Homes housing prof.
ect closed and Fort Myer built
its own elementary school.
Brandon was formerly Dolly
Madison Junior High.
At a School Board meeting
last night, Mrs. Elizabeth Camp
bell. chairman, said that since
an announcement earlier this
year that the school was for
sale, no adequate offer has been
received.
Deficiencies Cited.
Supt. Edward Rutter said the
21-classroom school is unsuitable
for a junior high school because
the gymnasium is inadequate; an
auditorium would have to be
provided and more land would
have to be acquired. The cost
of acquiring land from the ad-
joining Army Navy Country Club
would be exorbitant, the super
intendent said. The school is
on the north side of Shirley high
way, near Glebe road.
Because trucks now use Shirley
highway, Mr.. Rutter said, the
building is less desirable for
school purposes than when it was
opened in 1945. L
Pupil Load q Factor.
If the number of elementary
school children in South Arling-
ton increases materially in the
next two years, he added, re-
opening of Brandon will be
considered.
Mr.. Rutter said use of the
school this year to end halliday
sessions now in effect for about
$50 children in two schools would
be uneconomical. Only half of
the children would need to be
moved and they would require
only two or three classrooms, he
added.
A new Junior high school, to be
called Gunston, is planned not
far from Dolly Madison on the
Shirley tract. Mr.. Rutter said
this school will be needed be-
cause Wakefield will be filled
next year and Brandon is un-
suited for use as a junior high.

Arlington Gets
Unexpected
School Grant,
Will Use $471,81l
From U. S. to Help
Build z Structures

Arlington has received an UNI
expected school construction APP
preparation of more than $470,-
900 from the Federal Govern
ment.
Asst. Supt. E. ]. Braun told
School Board members last night
that the funds had been re-
quested for the fiscal year 1872
but there was not enough money
appropriated at that time to
make the grants.
Arlington already had re-
ceived $7l4,000 in Federal con-
struction money this year. Supt.
Edward Rutter said.
The new grant, amounting to
$471 .811, was awarded for James,
town and Taylor Schools, both
already completed and paid for.
Mr.. Braun said the money will
be used for the proposed Ash
lawn School and the first unit
of Kenmore Junior High.
Near Four Mile Run.
Ashlawn will be between Will
son boulevard and Arlington
boulevard near Four Mile Run,
adjoining new county park on
the Reeves tract. The board
voted last night to institute con-
demnation proceedings to COM
plete acquisition of the land.
Kenmore will be an expansion
OF the present Glencarlyn School
on Carlyn Springs road south of
Arlington boulevard.
Mr.. Braun also announced the
board has acquired about four
acres on North Quincy street, be-
tween Washington boulevard and
Fairfax drive, for $51,750. The
tract, near Westinghouse High
School. will be used for future
school.
Student Contributions Cited.
Students contributed more
than $4,000 to fund drives last
year, as well as 5000 pounds of
clothing, Associate Supt. c. Glen
Hass reported.
Students gave $1,804 to the
Red Cross, third grades contri-
buted 1924 to the March of
Dimes, and fourth grades added
$685. for the Easter Seal cam
paign Of the Society for Crippled
Children and Adults. Contribu-
lions also were made to the
Heart Fund. Poppy Day and
Crusade for Freedom.
Mr.. Hass announced publica-
ton Of guide for parents of
home-bound children. Home in
struction is provided for children
who are physically unable to at
tend school for periods of longer
than three months.
Reading Tips Given.
The associate superintendent
also presented to the board a new
leaflet entitled, rs Your Child
Having Difficulty Reading?"
The leaf1et says: Most ex-
perienced teachers agree that if
a child is unhappy about reading,
it does little good for the par
ents to force him to SIT down to
read at home"
Parents are urged to main
tain an atmosphere at home that
makes your child want to read"
A desire to read is frequently
aroused by presence in the home
