prise made possible by the fifty
dollar jamboree fee paid by each
participant.
Double Medical Check
National, state, and local health
and protective agencies are coop
Grating to give the jamboree a
health and safety record better
than the average city of $4,000 pop
ulation. Doctors from home areas
will travel and live with the con-
tingents- Each jamboree Scout and
Explorer is checked by a physician
at home and again upon his arrival
at the jamboree.
Already completed is a stage 300
feet wide and 100 feet Ieep in front
of g natural amphitheatre that will
hold about $4,000 jamboree camp
ers and guests. Spectacular pro-
grams are planned for the opening
evening, July II, and the farewell
program on the evening of July Is.
Outstanding Americans will parti-
cipate in both programs.
There will be other Scout shows
in sectional arenas. Campfires and
daytime demonstrations will give
each Scout a chance to show his
stuff or be entertained and instruct
ed by the other fellows skills.
Each night, radio controlled
trucks will deliver fresh dairy pro-
ducts, meat, fruit and vegetables
to commissary refrigerators. 1t
will be high-quality food, bought
by the carload, to fit well-balanced
menus.
Troops will get their food and
cooking supplies before each meal
at sectional commissary tents.
Jamboree campers will cook their
own meals and share the daily
camp chores. Each patrol or crew
member will share such tasks as
fire builder, cook, and cleaner
upper" Thanks to the use of over
one million paper plates there
won't be a dishwashing problem.
The jamboree camp inhabitant
will have plenty of time to pick up
camping techniques through inter-
camp visits displays, campfires and
demonstrations There will be ex-
cursions to historic shrines in and
near Philadelphia.
Sunday, July IA will bring one
of the most impressive thrills to
the jamboree. In several religious
services, each conducted in desig-
mated areas simultaneously, the
more than $4,000 boys and leaders
will worship according to their
own faiths, all united in the free
dom of their right to worship God.
The sprawling tent city will be
governed by the Scout Oath and
Law and administered by teams of
national, sectional, and troop Scout
ing leaders. Scoutmasters and their
assistants are being carefully Sc
lected locally for the responsible
ty and honor of jamboree troop |
leadership.
For many Of the $4,000 partici-
pants it will be "once in life
time" experience seeing America
and camping with others from all |
parts of the nation.

BY DAISY CLELAND

A little bit of old Vienna
crept into the Maryland coun-
tryside last evening.
The Austrian Ambassador
and Nine. Gruber entertained
at an informal buffet supper
and a "Viennese evening""
There was no lack of songs or
gayety.
The party took place at the
new Austrian Embassy which
is the only diplomatic mission
with their headquarters out
side the District of Columbia.
The place, which is on River
road, is about a third of the
way to Potomac. 1t was for
merly the Ourisman estate.
The only touch of a different
hemisphere that came into the
party was a solo by Bolivian
Ambassador Andrade. In the
midst of Viennese waltzes the
Ambassador came forth with
a marvellous rendition of La
Paloma."
The new residence and the
occupants are about as oppo-
site as it is possible to. be. The
house. which is hidden by trees
and a long driveway, is of very
definite modern architecture.
The furnishings are Viennese.

turn at serving, and Haitian
Ambassador Leger.
The Ambassador and Mime.
Gruber have been in the new
Embassy for just about six
weeks. One of the guests was
asking him if the rumor that
he was leaving was true and
all the lights went out so there
was no comment to the ques-
ton. A new fuse was quickly
substituted.
The question Of the new EN-
bassy being in Maryland and
not the District posed many
problems for the Grubers, ac-
cording to one man from the
State Department, mainly
taxes. However, the incident
is not as unusual as it seems
to Washingtonians when it is
considered how many con-
sulates there are in the major
cities in America. They too
are foreign soil and tax free.
Also there were the Am
bassador of Czechoslovakia
and Nine. Petrzelka, President
Of the Export Import Bank
and Mrs. Samuel Waugh. the
Indonesian Charge d'Affairs
and Nine. Thajeb, who were
talking of the upcoming visit
of their President; Admiral
and Mrs. Tom Kelly (she was
in a Viennese costume) and
the Austrian Consul to Miami,
Mr.. G. Hugo Whitehouse. who
incidently is an American from
the State of Illinois.

Army, was on the West Coast

Legal Adviser and Mrs. Her.
man Phleger came, bringing
their son and daughter-in- law,
Mr. and Mrs. Atherton Phleger

for a short visit.
The hosts had planned for
a warm spring evening so that
the guests could be seated at
small tables out in the garden
but due to Washington'S
changeable weather, all that
had to go by the board.
Standing Room Only
The buffet supper was served
from the dining room and the
guests ate from small tables

Authority to Erect
Geological Survey
Building Asked

The General Services Admin
iStration announced today it has
asked Congress to approve con-
struction Of a new 1922 million
headquarters center for the
United States Geological Survey
at a location still to be chosen
in the Washington area.
Senator Butler, Republican of
Maryland. disclosed two weeks
ago that the Budget Bureau had
Endorsed the center, to be built
under the Federal lease-purchase
program.
1t has been generally assumed
that the center will be located in
nearby Maryland.
GSA said the "multi-storied
aforementioned" building will
house about 1900 workers. In
addition to Office space, it will
contain a large laboratory and
map-reproduction section.
Under lease-purchase legisla-
ton, the projects must be cleared
by the House and Senate Public
Works Committees before GSA
can proceed.

against returning the Capital
Transit Co.'S franchise as pro-
vided in two identical bills be-
fore the House of Representa-
tives.
Action was taken after a re-
port by Walter Kingsbury, chair
man of the federation's Public
Utilities Committee, on the
measures embodying the terms
on which Capital Transit would
accept a return of its franchise
when it expires August IA.
Called "Giveaway"
The bills would constitute one
of the most magnificent give
aways in the history of the
area" Mr.. KingSbury said.
There was some opposition in
the federation, however, to
other proposals of the utilities
committee. These included a
reaffirmation of its stand in IA
vor Of a public authority that
would acquire and operate a
public transportation system for
the Metropolitan Area.
Another recommendation ap-
proved by federation majority
called for the authority, as soon
as possible, to initiate condem-
tnation proceedings to acquire
such properties of the Capital
Transit Co. as are necessary to
carry on public transportation
functions after August IA.
