Are Urged for
Visiting Students
By the Associated Press

A Representative suggested
today that inexpensive sleeping
accommodations in the Ma
tional Capital are needed for
visiting hig hschool students.
Representative Findley, Re-
publican of Illinois, said the
Federal Government could
make available property now
being used at nearby Anacostia
and Boiling air fields for q
privately financed center tc
house student tourists in bar
racks style.
What is needed is a bar
racks-style center where so tc
100 boys or girls could be &C
commodated in each room SC
arranged for effective chaper-
oning.
ut should not be elaborate
and should provide only Sleep
ing quarters. The great need
is for an inexpensive convenient
place to sleep. Fees chargd
should be high enough to cover
current expenses and depreci-
alton, but even so would doubt
less be just a fraction of hotel
motel accommodations"

The Air Force has adopted
the "shadow-tip" method of
determining direction.
Bob Owendoff, 17-year-old
Fails Church youth, worked out
the system last year when he
was a senior at George Mason

aid Of mathematicians at three
universities to help him ex-
plain why the tip of a sticks

that is said to be more accurate
than other methods used by q

The Army adopted Bob's
system and awarded him $500
last January. Since then it has
also been declared the official
method Of the Canadian Boy
Scouts. Air Force approval
came on November /.
Bob, who is now a student at
the Sullivan Prep School here,
has published a booklet and
