Washingtonian for the summer
home of himself and family. Sew

sites have also been purchased
by Washingtonians who plan to
erect cottages in the near future.
This newest development Of

They combine the advantages Of

C0UGHL|N RED,
RABBI ASSERTS

Charges that the Rev. Father
Charles E. Coughlin appeals to
the hate and greed of the con-
fused masses Of America" were
hurled today by Rabbi Norman
Gerstenfeld of the washington
Hebrew Congregation.
Rabbi Gerstenfeld will reply
to Father Coughlin's attack on
the Jews in an address before
his congregation tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock, "A Rabbi Looks
at Coughlin." This address will
be broadcast over station WJSV.
Commenting on the radio
priests statement last Sunday in
which he said: IT am not asking
the Jews of the United States to
accept Christianity but that they
accept Christ's principle Of broth
erhood," R abbi Gerstenfeld
pointed to the cordial relations
that existed between Jew and
Gentle, resulting from the eff
forts of DR.. S. Parks Cadman,
distinguished Protestant leader.
Rabbi Gerstenfeld then fired
a broadside at the leader of the
National Union for Social Justice,
declaring:
"POsing as the White Knight
Of reform. Father COughlin IS
the antithesis of that fine char
acter, DR.. Cadman.
"ThiS man Is out Of place on
q pulpit. He belongs on a Com.
muniSt'S soap box. Verbally he
attacks communism, but actually
he is the spearhead for a per.
verse cOmmunistic system in this
country.
"The leading apostle Of scape-
goat thinking, he is using his
absurd economic program to in
flame the great number of the
uniformed into state of class
hatreds, which is bound to spell
chaos to the nation"

Cove Point Beach
Proves Mecca
For Anglers

Cove Point Beach, Md, with
its Government lighthouse and
broadcasting station, has been
the mecca for fishermen for
years. They have loved this
spread Of white sandy beach, the
wide expanse of sea green water
and the beauty Of this spot so
endowed with all the good things
of nature.
But until now they have never
been able to buy even a small
portion of Cove Point for a sum-
mer home. although hundreds
have sought this boon, because
here is indeed the summer home
land for every true lover of sum-
mer sport and recreation.
Natural Beauty Spot
More than three miles Of wide
white sandy beach are here, with
more than 900 acres of beauti,

where sky, forest and sea seem

The Federal Government shoulC
acquire from private owners 1875,
100000 acres of the range lane
of the West-one-third Of all they
own-and turn these lands, alone
with all public lands now held
over to the Department of Agri
culture, Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace insists in a re
port to the Senate, suppressed
for four months.
If the owners do not want tc
give their lands to the Govern
ment-which gave most of then
to the owners and their forebears
in past years as WORCESTERSHIRE
Government should take the
lands through tax delinquencies
or by purchase, Secretary Wal
lace asserts. The report says:
"The area which should be
taken over by the public totals,
on a very conservative basis,
about 125,OO0,0OO acres, or one
third of the range land now in
private ownership.
legal regulation of private
range lands encounters the diff
ficulty that imprOv ementS
through better husbandry would
cost money, while even with
past huSbandry the cards have
been stacked against the pri-
vate owner. Furthermore, regu.
lation would be seriously handi-
capped unless it were supported
by the large majority Of own
ers, which is far from being
the case.
"The only additional alterna-
tiveS seem to be public acQuisi-
ton of the land by tax delin-
quency, by gift, or by pur-
chase"
OF these methods of acquisition
the report states:
Acquisition by tax delin-
quincy means letting the Situa-
ton work itself out gradually
through the play of economic
forces. This plan has obvious
advantages, but against the adj
vantages must be weighed fur
ther depletion of the range re-
source, losses from the lack Of
watershed protection, and even
more important, an appalling
human waStage.
1T is quite possible that con-
siderable areas might be given
outright to either the Federal
Government or the States If the
way were paved.
For much of the area, how.
ever, the only recourse will
probably be outright purchase"
The report pointed out tina
transfer of large areas Of land t.
the Federal Government woult
necessitate payments to State
and counties in lieu of taxes,
which the States and countie
would lose once the lands paSseC
out Of private ownership.

,yriEht, 1885, by American News.

Copyright. 1885, by American News-
papers, Inc. All rights rsssrved.)
About the middle Of January
our Christmas parcel from far.
off Denmark arrived in Moscow.
A quite overwhelming duty was
demanded, so 1 decided to go
to the capital and fetch it my.
self. I was also very eager to
make the acquaintance Of my
high superiors there.
Moscow looked wonderful in
snow and sunshine, but I had no
time to look around it. I hur.
ried to the office to ask them
to get me a room in hotel.
This, however, seemed quite i'm
possible, though various import
ant gentlemen telephoned to
nearly all the hotels. If I had
had American dollars, Of course,
could have got splendid room
at once for five to seven dollars
night.
Again I had chance Of not
ing that only he who has trav-
eled in Russia with roubles has
any right at all to give his
opinion on the true state of af-
fairs in the Red realm.
Offer to Share Room
A young man in the office Of
the trust kindly offered me a share
of his room, if I would take it as
1 found it. He had a wife and
a child-and a screen! I accepted
gratefully; the word screen" was
reassuring.
Next morning at 9 o'clock I had
an appointment with Mr.. Y, the
director of the trust. AS soon as
we were alone he showed his
hand:
Il am fully aware-hm-that
the conditions at POvOrinO-hm,
hm-are not ElySian, but sup
pose that by now you will have
understood that the same ap-
plies to all Soviet Russia"
I asked:
"Why don't the Russians fol-
low the advice of their foreign
expertS?"
eyes, why? There are many
reasons for that, one of the most
important being that we have
been deprived of all personal
initiative and all independence
of thought. Everything Is done
collectively; action, speech and,
unfortunately, bit by bit, even
thought. You have probably
heard how we talk and talk and
refuse all responsibility and only
seek to avoid the rocks as Oest
we can. And further, our or
ganizatiOn, being q branch of
agriculture, is a step-child, for
four leaders have all got heavy
industry on the brain. They
make tractors, airplaneS, motor
cars and thraShing machines,
but they can't make spare parts
for them at the same time, as
you have probably noticed out In
the country.
NO ROADS, SMALL CROPS
1--WE have no roads for our
motor cars, and soon we shall
have only small crops for our
thraShing machines. But we
go about lot in our airplaneS
for everybody to see what
splendid fellows we are. Our
army is an excellent one, but
who on earth believes in armies
nowadays? They're only used
today to bluff, frighten or pun
ish the ignorant civilian popu-
lation."
He went on talking and I sat
overwhelmed at his outspoken-
ness:
How do you dare express
yourself so openly to me?"
ooh, know you so we'll from
all your delightful letters and
reports"
Then why have you never an
Swered me?"
Answered you? What was I
to answer? You were absO-
luteIy right in all you wrote,
but to tell you so would only
