Arlington Cemetery Will Be Out of Space by 1970 Washington (U.R) Arling ton National cemetery, home of the tomb of the Unknown Sol dier and many American heroes. is running out of space and will be filled completely by 1070, ac cording to the Army Quarter master corps, In charge of na tional cemeteries. About 300 of Arlington's 420 acres are developed and there is no possibility of further expan sion because the cemetery Is bounded by thickly populated suburbs, An average of 13 persons are buried daily at Arlington at a cost to the government of about $30 each. As of Dec. 31, 1051, there were 75,674 graves In the ceme tery. There are 4,720 graves marked "unknown." Restricted by Law According to law, only Amer ican citizens who served active ly In the armed forces of the United States, or its allies In time of war, and their wives are eligible for burial In the Vir ginia cemetery. More than 600 persons are buried at Arlington who do not qualify under the law, however, Congress gave specific permis sion for burial there. More than 500 Confederate soldiers are buried around a monument to the Confederate dead by the Daughters of the Confederacy In 10H. They arc the only Confederate soldiers In the cemetery. Forty-two men who were not American citizens are buried at Arlington, most of them British and French soldiers who died in this, country during World War I. Briton Buried There The most prominent and per haps the most controversial non citizen to be burled In the ceme tery was Sir John Dill, British I field marshal who headed the British military mission to this country in the last war. lie was buried at Arlington at the request of Gen. George C, Marshall, at the time chief of staff of the U. S. Army Many congressmen objected to Dill's burial as a violation of the law but Congress passed a reso dution allowing his interment. Dill's grave is marked by the only equestrian statue In the cemetery. Congress Immediately after World War I, granted the war cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson the right to be buried in the cemetery. Padertwikl Honored A small urn In a vault near the tomb of the Unknown Sol dier contains the ashes of Ignace Jan Paderewskl, famous pianist and once premier of Poland. His ashes wll remain at Arlington until they can be shipped to a free Polnnd. Arlington was the first of many national cemeteries thnt came into being because of their proximity to battlegrounds of the Civil War. It was officially founded in 1884 but had been used before that as a burial ground for cas ualties of the first battle of Bull Run. The grounds of the cemetery once comprised the estate of Robert E. Lee, whose mansion still stands there. Lee was Inel igible for burial at Arlington be cause of his service with the Confederate Army. There is, however, one Con federate general buried at Ar lington Joe Hill, who qualified because he fought in the Span ish-American War. At the end of 1951 there were 461 graves at Arlington that bore the Inscription "Korea." House Committee Due To Report Korea GI Education Aid Bill Washington (U.R) The House, Veterans committee was report ed "about ready" to approve a new GI Bill of Rights for Ko rean veterans. It will carry free school bene fits comparable to, but not much like, those granted to World War II veterans at a cost of about $13,000,000,000. The school program has been snarply re vised to eliminate racketeering. The bill also may include loan guarantees for homes, farms and businesses: special social secu rity and unemployment insur ance coverage, the latter through state programs; and mustering out pay of $100, $200, or $300. Cost Estimated The benefits are expected to cost $800,000,000 yearly or more. They would be available to men discharged other than dis honorably after June 27, 1050, and before a cut-off date to be set later either by Congress or the President. An administration witness has testifed the cut-off might not come for many years. Chairman John E. Rankin (D Miss.) said the committee will meet next week probably Wed nesday to act on the legislation It is now being whipped into fi nal shape by staff experts. The committee finished its hearings some time ago. A basic question still to be set tled is whether to confine the legislation at this time to its main purpose the school program or whether to include also the other related benefits. Detailed provisions for the lat ter have been pretty well agreed on, in event the committee de cides to include them in a single package with the educational program. Rankin favors the single pack- Luxury Tissue at a Budget Price! mm mJUJ T3H ft (HIT age. Some other members, In cluding Rep. Olln E. Teague (D. Tex.) chairman of a special House committee to investigate abuse of the oWrld War II GI bill, insist the school program should be enacted now and the rest left for further study. Whatever the committee agrees on, Rankin proposes to shove it to fast passage in the House so the Senate can have time to act on it before adjournment this summer "We definitely hope to pass It this year, Rankin said. More than 4,100.000 men have served in the armed forces since June 27, 1050, when U.S. forces were committeed in Korea, the committee was advised. Through January 31 about 600,000 had been released. And more are re turning to civilian life each month. " --I JW CONVICTED of refusing to pilot plane because "wife worried," Lt. V. L.
