Democrat Of Pennsylvania,
proposed that Peace Corps
programs be limited to three
years. This was rejected on a
voice vote.
The House. however, adopt
ed an amendment by Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat of
Georgia. to apply Civil Service
Commission compensation pro-
visions to some 40 proposed
super-grade officials of the
Peace Corps Most Of those
would be paid between $4,000
and $4,000. The vote was 128-
118, a sufficiently close margin
to encourage the bills spon-

would be eliminated by a Sen
ate-House conference commit
tee.
Mr.. Davis complained that
the House on several occasions
this year has been asked by
several legislative committees
to pass bills exempting super
grade employees from Civil
Service Commission nrOce-

The House got into a haSSle

an oath declaring that the ap-

advocating violent overthrow
of the Government. The Jo-

Humble and gracious, Mr.

AS Mr.. Matthias explained
and as his predecessors have

Jubal Early marched into Fred,

before, Union Gen. Lew Wal,
lace had marched out.
Property Abandoned
The latter troop movement
according to research compiled
by the Library of Congress, was
accomplished with great era
pidity." 1t was so fast, in fact
that a large amount of Govern
ment property. stored in the
town, was left behind.
Meanwhile, Gen. Early-Mr.
Matthias gave the hour as 8
a.m.-entered the home of a
resident. ordered pen and ink,
sat down at a small table and
write:

and town authorities 100000

The little towns five banks
raised the money and paid off
old Jubal. who spared the town
and marched off to frighten
Washington.
Long after Gen. Early had
faded away. the good people of
Frederick were still in debt.
The city, Mr.. Matthias testi-
fled, was forced to create q
bonded indebtedness, requiring
the levy Of an annual tax foI
the payment Of interest on the
bonds. BY 1914, the amount OF
interest paid was twice the
amount of Early's ransom. Fin
ally, in october 1851, the bonds
were paid off.
Protected Supplies
Mr.. Matthias case against the
United States is this: By pay
ing the ransom. Frederick citi'
zens prevented the loss of prop

thor of Ben Hur."

In Building Schools

Witnesses and Fairfax Coun-

agreed yesterday that more
study was needed before de-
Gliding to take school building
powers away from the school
board and give them to the

The main question boiled
down to whether it would be
cheaper and more efficient for
the Public Works Department
to build schools.

But many in the world of

ther than that. They point to
his statement Of two years ago
expressing hope that statues
have gone out of fashion" and
say this attitude expressed
actual distaste for sculpture
of any kind"
Members of the National

fend the quality of every one

Tastes fluctuate with the

Some early monuments may
not have great artistic merit
but may embody charm. au-

1T is not in the province Of
any governmental department
unrelated to the arts to deter

late in March after two con-
flicting Interior Department
statements over disposition of

moved temporarily a year ago
