C. L. Vickers, FWA regional di rector at Richmond, received word of the Federal grant from Ma j. Gen. Philip B.

Fleming, Federal Works Administrator at Washington. According to Paul Donald, assistant to Mr. Vickers. the total cost of the school, including equipment, will be $790,000, of which Baltimore county will contribute $545,000. Plans May Bt Ready Soon The local architectural Arm of Palmer Lamdin announced it hoped to have the plans com pleted next nnnth so that bids on construction could be asked for in January and the building could be completed for use when classes reopen in September.

The plans call for special and standard classrooms, physics and chemistry laboratories, home economics and art rooms, a cafeteria and kitchen, a multi-prpose room to be used as a gymnasium and assembly room and locker and shower rooms. Approval Of WLB Required Oscar B. Coblentz. president of the Baltimore County School Boird, said: "The only thing now left to do is to get approval of the War Production Board to proceed. We now have a committee working on this.

We have the word of the County Commissioners that they will provide the county's share of construction costs even if there is no allocation for it in the budget. The commissioners either can borrow the money or can get authorization of the Legislature for a school loan."

0 oil wit Aim blizzard in twenty years yesterday Elsewhere in the State a snowstorm of less severity which left icy highways in its wake was blamed in part for traffic accidents in which two 'persons lost their lives and at least 40 others were injured. While Baltimore escaped with only an inch of snow, in Garrett and Allegany counties the fall ranged from 15 to 20 inches, with waist high drifts reported in Oak land and in a number of rural sections. Drifts Block Highways All main highways west of Frost-burg were blocked by drifts piled up by a 40-mile wind. Meanwhile, the Weather Bureau reported that a cold wave from the Middle West was headed eastward and is expected to cause tempera tures as low as 10 degrees in some parts of the State today. Forty-one plow trucks were tent into Western Maryland by the Roads Commission to cut through drifts, and hilly stretches were cindered.

At the same time, State police warned motorists to use chains on their cars on roads from Baltimore to Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland. Racing Interrupted At Charles Town, W.Va., officials of the race track announced there would be no races held until Friday because of the condition of the racing strip resulting from the storm. The two persons reported by State police as dead were: AREND RIPKEN'S, 55, or Aberdeen. Maryland. ARTHUR W.

COLSON, of Woodstock, Maryland. Itipkens' automobile skidded on an icy side road as it approached Route 40. two miles south of Aberdeen, and collided with a. trailer-truck. The man died in an ambulance which was taking him to the Aberdeen Proving Ground hospital.

Auto Crashes Into Tret Colson sustained a crushed chest and a fractured skull when his automobile crashed into a tree on the Johnsville road, two miles north of Eldersburg. He died several hours later at the University Hospital. Four persons were- seriously injured when a bus carrying 35 soldiers, two WACs and a civilian crashed into a standing freight car on the Old Annapolis road at the Baltimore and Ohio crossing. The others were only slightly injured. Three municipal ambulances, an army ambulance and another bus were used to carry the injured to the University Hospital.

15 Passengers Shaken Fifteen passengers on a northbound No. 13 streetcar were shaken up when the ta? and a coal truck collided at Bank and Wolfe streets. The motorman, Edward Buckwald, received slight lacerations of his right hand in the accident, police reported. According to Joseph Bily. of the local Weather Bureau, temperatures ranging from 10 to 15 degrees will prevail today in Western Maryland and temperatures from 20 to 25 degrees are expected in the Baltimore area.4 SPECIAL NOTICES To Woebegone Willie-No wonder she's mad.

Hamilton 9714 BUDGET-FREEZING PLAN WITHDRAWN City Council, However, May Reduce Appropriations The City Council last night eliminated an amendment to the 1945 budget it previously had adopted providing that all appropriations must be spent for the purposes specified in the budget except when changes are approved by the Council. The amendment had the effect of freezing the appropriations, and was opposed by city officials. Yesterday, after a long conference between the Council and the Board of Estimates, Councilmen agreed to withdraw the amendment. May Cut Appropriations It was indicated, however, that the Council would persist in reduc ing the appropriations $640,206.10, which would make possible a decrease of 5 cents in the tentative tax rate of $2.95 set by the Board of Estimates. Councilmen Leon Abramson announced he would offer an amendment at the session today to restore a proposed cut of $105,000 in the Bureau of Street Cleaning and 500 in the account of the Bureau of Harbors, but he predicted the amendments "will be defeated since the Council seems determined to cut the budget." Councilman Abramson an nounced he would offer the amendments after representatives of civic, labor and business groups had asked the Council not to cut certain items from the 1945 budget.

Women Want Clean City Spokesmen for the Women's Civic League objected to reductions in the Bureau of Street Cleaning on the ground it might cause a curtailment in service and result in a dirty city. Harry Cohen, president of the Baltimore Federation of Labor, asked, the Council to keep the budget at the same level set Dy tne (Continued on Page 10, Column 1) NOW SHOWING ALPHA: June Haver.

The process starts, of course with registration and classification of men within the draft ages. The next step comes when selective service headquarters sends out quotas for the month to local boards. The boards go over their lists, selecting men first from the eligible list of volunteers, next from the eligible men who are no fathers, and finally, if neces sary, from the list of fathers.

Meanwhile, Major S. W. Wilson, manpower officer, and his staff at selective-service headquarters have been making transportation ar rangements. For those who are to travel long distance, meals are pro vided en route. From most distant points of the State and from the District of Columbia, the pros pective inductees come by train.

Overnight Trip From Garrett The only overnight trip to the in duction center is taken by selectees from Garrett county, who leave Oakland by train at 12.09 A.M.. arrive in Washington for breakfast at 6.25 A.M., and then come to Camden Station here, where they are met by army busses and taken to the Armory. At the Armory doors, responsi bilities of selective service end, and the induction men of the armed services take over.

The selectees are given directions by men in uniform, some of them wearing overseas ribbons.

The young man was typical of many but by no means of all when his turn came to stand before the question desk in the assignment room at the induction center in the Fifth Regiment Armory.

xSergt. J. J. Iaricci, of the Marines, shot the. questions at him quick succession his name, his age, his education, his criminal record, if any; his military training, if any; his preference of a service.

Smiling, the boy answered he was 23 years old, had two years of college, was never arrested, had navy cadet training in college and would prefer to serve in the Navy. He was just 55 seconds with Sergeant Iaricci, who checked the answers on a form. The young man moved to the next desk, where, in. even less time, Lieut, (jg) L. A.

Murray, of the Navy, and Capt. M. Lorr, of the Army, decided he would go to the Navy. On His Way To The Navy A few minutes later he was on his way downtown to the navy recruiting center to be sworn in, finger printed and briefed on the raining days ahead. In less than two minutes in the assignment office he had learned the branch of the armed forces in which he would help to fight the war.

But the whole process of selective service and induction is not that simple. It is a continuous process every day except Sunday.
