A model mass housing project to take care of the feeding, quartering, sanitary and health conditions, recre- ation and communications for 35,000 boys will be put under way about April 15 by the President’s Committee for the Boy Scouts of America Jam- boree to be held in Washington Au- gust 21 to 30. inclusive. Harvey Gordon, engineer for the project, yesterday told the President's Committee at a luncheon held at the Willard Hotel that all preliminary studies of layouts for structures, camp sites, water lines, sewage systems, telephones and electricity have been completed and that survey work of laying out the Abingdon site will begin at once. The engineering corps and store house force for this project moved into quarters on Norton's Lane, about two miles from the Fourteenth street bridge on the Memorial Highway, April 1. Camp sites have been selected in East Potomac Park, between Hains | Point Grove and the fleld house; on | Columbia Island, and on the old cricket grounds, besides the Abing- don site on the Mount Vernon Me- morial Highway. Telephones Arranged. Gordon told the committee that complete arrangements had been made for an adequate telephone service, | with a special switchboard connecting all troop headquarters with the office | of the chief of staff of the Army. He pointed out it also will be neces. sary to begin laying the extensive water main system at once. | Railroads are co-operating with the committee by giving the Scouts a| | 1-cent a mile fare to the jamboree and also by unloading them at points | | closest to their respective camps. | | Where stops cannot be made within | | & short distance of the camps, the | railroads have agreed to take them there by bus. Scouts attending the jamboree will go for sight-seeing trips by bus at the rate of 10,000 per day, under the| terms of a tentative agreement with | the three major bus companies, Gor- don said. | Mount Vernon is going to have a| jump in visiting figures during the | | encampment. Plans have been made | to have 5,000 Scouts visit the famous memorial each day for seven days. Officials have not yet figured out, 1935 URGH'S NA-9800 THE EVENING however, how they are going to handle all these Scouts on their pilgrimages. Amplifiers will be placed in service on the Monument grounds and on the Ellipse for the pageantry, circuses and other activities. To Have Own Post Office. The Scouts will have their own post office, through an arrangement with the Post Office Department. This will be one of the permanent struc- tures to be built by the committee and will be located at the Virginia end of the Fourteenth street bridge This post office will handle all in- coming and out-going mail for the Scouts. ‘The committee decided to defer de- cision on whether the Scouts will be allowed to swim in the Tidal Basin. This subject has been'under discus- sion for some time and the committee announced that further talks on the subject will be held with C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the Na- tional Capital Parks. Swimming fa- cilities for the Scouts has, 5o far, been & stumbling block in the plans, it was said. Guarding against the possibility that camp facilities might be prepared for 35,000 Scouts and only half that num- ber show up, the committee has de- cided to start construction on May 15 of camp facilities for 15,000 camp- ers and then take up facilities for the remaining 20,000 in 5,000 groups. STAR, WASHINGTON, Under this plan, all structures will be completed about July 27, Mr. Gor- don said. Indicative of the number of Scouts who will attend the Monument serv- ice and the pageant on the Capital Ellipse is that the committee has ar- ranged to rent 100 sections of seats, with a capacity of 15,000 adults, or 20,000 Scouts. ‘The health and sanitary conditions of the camps will be under the watch- ful eyes of 30 physicians and 60 first ald-trained assistants. These physi- cians and assistants will man the first aid fleld hospitals. It is expected that the first aid and medical services will be furnished by the surgeon gen- eral, Plan Hospital Space. In addition to their own hospitals in the camps, the committee is nego- tiating with Washington hospitals for space to be set aside for the use of Scouts who might become too ill to be treated properly in the field in- firmaries. A. A. Schuck, director of operations of the Boy Scouts of America, made & short talk to the committee, point- ing out that the health and safety of the 35,000 Scouts is the first consid- eration of the committee. He said that plans for their entertainment must become secondary, since every boy who comes to Washington will be coming with the full faith of his p: Men's Broadcloth PAJAMAS New pajamas are in order— treat yourself to these good-look- ers.

C., ents in the Scout organization to properly take care of his health and well-being. All camp facilities of the Army and Navy, including such equipment as may be needed from Fort Myer, have been turned over to the com- mittee by President Roosevelt. This authorization was contained in a bill introduced by Representative Fitzpat- rick and passed by Congress. Pres- ident Roosevelt signed the bill yester- day, according to a telegram read at the meeting. Special arrangements are being worked out by the Navy Department for housing and feeding about 1,200 Sea Scouts who will attend the jam- boree. Under the present plan the Sea Scouts would be quartered on a | naval vessel anchored in tie Potomac, and would be taken for a cruise in Chesapeake Bay. These plans are not complete, however, it was pointed out 20,000 Commitments. Lorne W.

It is expected the several thousand relatives will take advantage of the Scouts’ presence to come to the Cap- ital. District Commissioner George E. Allen presided at the meeting and led in the discussion of the plans. Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Capital Parks, told the com- mittee that under the present set-up there will be adequate camping and recreational facilities for the youths who attend the jamboree. He sug- gested that a committee be formed from the local Scout troops to assist the National Park Police. It was pointed out by members of the committee that all boys who attend the encampment must show that they have been immunized against all contagious diseases before they can be accepted for the trip by their local councils. The Scouts will be fed from a central Kitchen, to be set up with regular Army equipment. The food will be carried from this central kitchen to the various Scout troop mess halls by details from the respec- tive troops, it was announced. - e, Bicycle Imports Curbed.
