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-

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.

Agencies May Solve Parking Problems
Chicago (U.R) Cities and
states are turning to special
agencies to help solve their
parking problems, according to
the American Municipal associa
tion. Legislatures ' of at least 12
states now permit some or all of
their cities to set up special
parking authorities to tackle the
problem of keeping streets
clear.
Most of such parking authori
ties have been given broad
powers to plan, finance and ac
quire land for off-street parking
lots.
In New Jersey, any munici
pality may create a parking au.
thority with the power to issue
revenue bonds at a rate not to
exceed 6 per cent.
A specially - trained police
force of 4,000 men, the largest
in England after London, is
maintained by British railways
to guard their property. The
force was responsible for 27,000
prosecutions last year.
