NEW YORK, Sept. 17.--Victor F.
Ridder, publisher and former New
York w. P. A. administrator, today
told q congressional subcommittee in
vestigating un-American activities he
was convinced no one could hold office
in the Workers Alliance unless he was
a Communrr par, caember.
Mr.. Ridder, publisher of the New
Yorker Staats-zeitung, was questioned
by Representative Joe Starnes, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, chairman Of the
subcommittee, at the closing session OF
a three day hearing.
my first interest in the question Of
subversive activities was aroused when
was w. P. A. administrator in the
city of New York" Mr.. Ridder said.
"I was interested in dealing with the
delegations that came to me, from two
groups particularly. the City Projects
Council and the Workers Alliance.
Says Evidence Is Hearsay.
Through contact with these delega-
tions became interested in their &C
tivities. At first I dealt with them
on the theory that there was no reason
why w. P. A. workers should not have
an organization, but found out after
a short while that the object OF these
groups was not constructive. They
came to me with demands they knew
I could not meet. Their technique was
to waste the time of the administrator.
Il received copies Of publications OF
the alliance and from them I had
come to the conclusion that it was
largely a Communicated organization.
have been told, and it is only hearsay
and was told to me by my investigators,
that YOU cannot be an officer of the
Workers Alliance unless you hold a
membership card in the Communist
party. I believe that to be true"
City Councilman Named.
During the morning session Repre-
sentative Starnes made public an ex-
change of kilograms between himself
and Mr.. Fuss. The latter demanded
that he be given an opportunity to
give the true picture OF what excel
lent work the alliance is doing to help
the unemployed of this city,
This is the second time" his tele-
gram said, Il have asked for the op-
portunity to answer your committees
lying smearS '"
Representative Starnes replied he
would be glad to have Fuss appear Ito
deny under oath the charge you are
Communist and that members OF
your organization are affiliated with or
members of the Communist Party"
Seven witnesses testified yesterday
that Michael j. Quill, city councilman
and international president OF the
Transport Workers Union &C. I. o.,
was a Communist and several testified
that members of the T. w. US execu
tive board were also party members.
The testimony was heatedly denied
outside the hearing room by Mr.. Quill
who called the witnesses "stooges Of
capitalism"

munities logically may be expected to
resent criticism Of their own penal insti-
tutions by Federal officials in Washing
ton. Fortunately, Alexandria realizes
the deficiencies Of Its jail and has named
. commission to study the problem.
Washington, too, is cognizant Of the
disgraceful shortcomings Of the District
Jail, but despite determined efforts OF
its citizens and Of penal officials to obtain
new Jail, prisoners are still sleeping on
concrete floors during congested periods.
Congress has taken steps to relieve this
congestion, and to eliminate use Of the
mess hall as an execution chamber, by
providing for an addition to the old
building. ..
Washington should have new Jail.
however, to serve as a model for similar
penal establishments in the States. Until
the Capital demonstrates leadership in

OF widespread action to remove the

municated to other immigrants who
came to these shores. Many brought with
them a culture which shows the refine
ment OF countless centuries.
A large element Of the German race"
namely the Prussians, Is not even pre-
dominantly Teutonic. 1t Is q mixture
Of Teutonic and Of Slavic blood, with the
Slavic strain the outstanding one. Great
as have been the achievements Of many
non-Nordic Germans, such as Goethe.
for instance, who was Dinaric, the
achievements Of the Prussian people, ex-
cept in the field Of war, have not been
50 outstanding. It Is the Prussian ele-
ment, more than any other, which has
been responsible for the unif1cation of
the German nation. Nevertheless 1t is
itself predominantly non-Teutonic.
No doubt Germans have produced
numerous leaders in the sciences, never
theless, what German scientist Of Teu-
tonic blood has been 30 brilliant as New
ton, Darwin or Pasteur? In the field OF
invention the Germans cannot equal the
records of the Americans, the English or
the French. The latter, be It remem-
bered, invented the dirigible, the auto
mobile and photography, including mo-
ton pictures. The advances which the
Germans have made in the realm of
science have been due largely to pains
taking research, field for which they
are by nature well fitted, due to their
disposition for thoroughness and atten-
ton to detail.
Great as have been the achievements
OF Germans In music, it is well to remem-
ber that many great composers have been
non-German, for instance Tschaikowsky,
Rimski-Korsakoff, Chopin, Verdi, sibe-
Illus, Franck.
Mr.. Cullington states that the Ger
mans are leaders In war. I cannot see
how this is an asset to world civilization
1t cannot be denied that the German
people have shown the great ability to
stage quick come-backs when they have
been down and out, as they did after the
Thirty Years War, and in the midst of
the Napoleonic wars. Nevertheless, it is
also true that when they have been domi-
nant, as they were in Europe in 1914,
through over-confidence and diplomatic
blunders they lost their advantages. I
venture to predict that If Germany again
attains dominant position in the world
history will repeat itself and her hege.
mony will not be OF long duration.

Order or Chaos?

Whether development of the National
Capital is to continue along lines of
orderly planning or Is to degenerate once
more into a hodge podge dictated by
whims of the moment may be determined
by the outcome of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial controversy.
Opponents of the present memorial
plan, for which the House has approved
an initial appropriation Of $500 900, fear
that If the Senate follows the House lead
the end Of orderly planning here may be
at hand.
Washington has suffered the blight of
unplanned growth in the past. There
are still visible In the Capital evidences
of grievous errors in the design and loca-
ton of public buildings, memorials and
monuments. Some of these errors have
been corrected at great cost. Others
remain to plague city planners and those
who dream of an ideal capital which may
stand as world model.
To prevent continuation Of such
policy Of unguided growth. Congress
created the Commission of Fine Arts and
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. These commissions were
designed to take over the vital functions
of orderly planning to the end that Wash
ington might one day fulfill its true
destiny as the worlds most beautiful
city.
Today however, there Is grave danger
that Congress, f1outing the considered
Judgment of these commissions in rush
to adjourn, may inflict upon Washington
a memorial which fits in with no con-
sidered plan and which may establish
a precedent which will undo the work of
years.
II Congress, in a fit Of momentary'
pique, ignores the objections to the pres
ent memorial plans which have been
raised by the two commissions 1t created
for Its guidance in orderly planning Of
the National Capital, where Is the matter
to end?
Ignored once, is there any assurance
that the Commission of Fine Arts and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission will not be ignored again?
If so, where is the hope for the ideal
city of which true patriots dream?
Congress should consider we'll what 1t
is doing, lest its hasty judgment may
wreck the work and planning Of years.
The issue at stake is more serious and
far-reaching than members OF Congress
appear to realize. The true issue may
be that Of orderly planning or chaos
for the National Capital.
