First Lady's Revenge

Although the fact probably had nothing whatever to do with his ap- pointment to the Supreme Court, Justice Hugo Black was the man who did most to avenge Mrs. Roose- welt for the incident at Gov. Eugene Talmadge's Macon, Ga, grass roots convention of "Goobcr Democrats. '
 It was at this meeting that delc- gates found on every chair a pub licatlon bearing a picture of the First Lady escorted by two col- ored Howard University R. o. T. c. officers. and printed assurances that the Roosevelts stood for ra- clal equality. This theme also was echoed from the speakers plat form.
 Black harried big Vance Muse of Houston into admitting the source of the propaganda. Then the Tal- madge convention--that 1t had been financed by $5000 from John j, Raskob and s6ooo from Pierre s. DuPont.
 That was ono of the very best breaks Roosevelt had in the pre- campaign period.

Washington, Aug 25--Members of Congress will have to be taken quiet- ly aside and have everything ex- plained to them before they approve the State Departments proposal to lease six U. s. naval destroyers to Brazil.
 A British armament firm has
 been building six destroyers for
 the Argentine. Brazil, which tra-
 ditiOnalIy has had much more
 friendly relations with this c0un-
 try than Argentina, asked this
 government how about renting her
 half a dozen destrOyers until she
 could get some of her own built.
 The question was put up to Roosevelt. The idea of naval CO., operation with Latin American nations carried strong appeal to the President as great pro-navy man, and he acquiesced at once.. Argentina complained bitterly. But now this government and Brazil have joined in statement that they will stand pat on the leasing agreement.
 Bebind the whole business Is
 the fact that Germany and Italy
 have been increasing their propa.
 ganda penetration of Brazil at a
 rapid rate. Fascism has been
 preached through subsidized or actually purchased newspapers. short wave radio, exports of Nazl
 professors and other means. Ger
 man broadcasts in Portuguese
 language of BraziD are sent to
 Brazil by directional radio beam, and elsewhere in Spanish.
 There's concern here over spread of Fascism in Latin America and also over the objective which our diplomats believe Germany and Italy have in mind.
 Those two nations, 1t is be- lieved, are trying to solidify such a favorable attitude toward them selves in South America coun- tries that England would be ob- structed in any future war from obtaining raw materials and food. stuffs on which she depends. Sc. cret American foreign policy calls for friendship toward England and other democratic nations in future wars. That's secondary to policy of keeping out of war but the intention of maintaining friendship with Latin America is one of the most important policy items-and figures most in the incident of the destroyers.

SILVER SPRING
HOUSING PLANS
ARE EXPANDED
Addition Will Augment
Falkland Project

SILVER SPRING, Nd, Sept. 4.
After a delay Of several days,
while plans for parking facilities
were altered, construction work
got under way this week on the
second and third units OF
$1,662,OOO apartment project at
Sixteenth Street and the East
West Highway here.
Known as Falkland Addition,
the project augments the al
ready completed Falkland Prop
critics, Inc, development which is
now in operation on adjacent
property located just north Of Six
tenth Street and the District OF
Columbia line.
The addition will be financed
under a capitalization Of 1882
900 of which Slips, 900 will be
an insured mortgage. The devel-
opment calls for the construction
of 301 family dwelling units and
is being developed by the Blair
Management Corporation, Spon.
sors of both Falkland operations.
The new construction program
will be similar in architectural
style to the completed property.
The first Falkland development,
completed last spring, provided
178 family dwelling units and was
built under an $4,000 insured
mortgage. originally financed by
the RFC Mortgage Company. The
Union Central Life Insurance
Company of Cincinnati recently
bought this mortgage and also
holds the mortgage on Falkland
Addition.
The contractors have agreed to
extend Sixteenth Street at it's pres
ent 40.foot width for about 100
yards, to provide an entrance and
parking facilities, according to
Gerald Warthan, building inspec-
tor for the eastern district OF
Montgomery county.
This is by far the largest houS-
ing project ever undertaken In
Montgomery county.

with the shrinkage Of the wood,

Sionally.
