veil, g.. retired World War II

nearly recovered from his oper-
alton. Death came to the gen.
eral after breakfast. A doctor
summoned from next door ar
rived too late to give medical
aid,
Burial will take place in Ar
lington National Cemetery.

only son of DR.. and Mrs. Will
liam Taylor Somervell. He came
to live with his family in Wash
ington when he was Is years old.
He won appointment to the
United States Military Academy
at West Point when he was II
and graduated sixth in his class
of 106. He was commissioned a
second lieutenant of the Engi-
neers in 1914.
| Shortly after graduation 1t.
Somervell was ordered to France
where he served as assistant to
the military attache.
Upon his return to the United
States he was assigned to duty
IN the Office of Chief of Engi-
neers until May, 1915. He then
was stationed at Fort Belvoir
and was attached to a mapping
expedition in parts of New Eng
land.
He next moved to Fort Sam

panied Gen. Pershing on his puni-
tive expedition into Mexico, where

rector of railroads during the
war, to make a survey of navi-
cation conditions of the Rhine
and Danube Rivers. He was grad
uated from the Army War Col
lege here in 1926 and served in
the Office of Chief of Engineers
for the Washington district in
charge of the river and harbor
district.
It was for his familiarity with
engineering problems in the Dis
trict that he was considered for
the post of Engineer Commits
sioner of the District in 1884.
While on duty here, he SUI
peryised construction of the
Dalecarlia Reservoir and some Of
its secondary buildings.
At the request of the Turk
iSh government Gen. Somervell

vey of Turkey. On his return
to the United States he took
over the engineer district in
Ocala, where he was put in
charge of the Florida ship canal,
a venture which was never COM
pleted because of lack of funds
In August, 1886, Gen. Somer-
veil was borrowed from the
Army to be chief of New York
City's works progress admins
traitor.
Airport Top Project.
The outstanding project of the
WPA under the administration
of Gen. Somervell was the con-
struction of La Guardia Airport
At that time the WPA in New
York was a hotbed of strife and
sit-down strikes were common
place. Gen. Somervell sharply
reduced the strikes by ordering
che doors of all restrooms
locked.
/ The general was relieved of his
/ WPA administrative job in 1910
In 1912 he was promoted to
lieutenant general in charge of
the Army branch first known as
Services of Supply and later as
I the Army Service Forces.
AS ASF chief he was the chief
buyer and production boss of the
| Army. OF this huge job he said:
1T is my ambition to see the
U. S. Army the best equipped,
the best fed, and the most
mobile army on the face of the
earth"
! In 1943, the ASF procured and
! shipped to all parts of the world
$23,3 billion worth of supplies
and equipment of every con-
ceivable kind. With all the
problems of supplying a striking
force of 8 million men all over
the world, Gen. Somervell never
lost sight of his own personal
supply problem.
! Rolled Own Cigarette.
/ One day. at a staff meeting. he
| pulled from his pocket a pack
of tobacco and papers and rolled
cigarette to the fascinated at
tention of his staff.
1t was while he served as chief
of ASF that Gen. Somervell
nurtured the dream of putting
all the Army'S war machinery
! under one roof. He finally saw
that dream reality when the
Pentagon was completed. The
huge building has been called the
House That Somervell Built"
Gen. Somervell is survived by
three daughters of his first mar
riage to the former Anna Pur-
cell, who died in 1941, and by
his second wife, the former

County Defers Decision
On School at Andrews

The Prince Georges County
School Board has delayed a de-
cision on whether to continue
Operation of an elementary school
at Andrews Air Force Base be-
cause it will have to be an in
tegrated school next fall.
Board members failed to reach
agreement on the question last
night, although Supt. William
S.. Schmidt recommended that
the county continue to operate
the school, which is open only
to children of Andrews person
mel.
Mr.. Schmidt said Secretary OF
Defense Wilson had demanded
that all schools on military bases
be integrated this coming fall.
Maryland this month declared
it's school segregation laws in
valid and ordered county boards
of education to desegregate "at
the earliest practicable date" In
view of this. Mr.. Schmidt told

Gibson Sees $40 Million
AYeor in Race Bet I Toxes

Virginia could collect at least
$40 million a year In new taxes
by legalizing pari-mutuel betting
in the Safe, Lytton H. Gibson
declared today in support of
recent statements that he has
made in favor of legislation to
make horse race betting legal.
Mr.. Gibson is seeking the
Democratic nomination to the
Virginia House of Delegates from
Fairfax County-Falls Church.
In campaign speeches, he has
stated he would support legisla-
tion to legalize pari-mutuel bet
ting if it is introduced at the
next Assembly session.
"While I will not sponsor any
measure which would lead to the
legalizing of pari-mutuel betting
on horse racing, I will support
such q measure II it is intro
duced." said Mr.. Gibson. SIT is
my opinion that we as Virginians
are sticking our heads in the
sand by our refusal to permit
and tax pari-mutuel betting on
horse races for the following
reasons:

Court judges ruling against

Alexandria Mayor Marshall j.
Beverley today that "a COM

Mr.. Beverly spanked the move
which led to Alexandria adopting
an ordinance prohibiting air

The Associated Press reports
that United States District Judge

II the county is hesitant about
continued operation of the
school. it might lose it entirely,
the superintendent said. He
pointed out that the Air Force
already has allocated funds to
run the school itself if necessary.
The school had about 200 pu-
pills during the last school year
There was only one Negro ele-
mentary pupils on the base al
that time and the county trans
ported him to a colored elemen-
tary school off the base, Mr.
Schmidt said.
The issue of continuing the
school under county control came
up in a discussion on renewing
Its fire insurance contract.
Board Chairman James H
Harrison said the full board
should be present if such major
action was to be voted. J. Frank
Dent and Raymond Steele were
absent.
