rWHERE EVERY PROSPECT PLEAsEs-H

The CoOPERATOR feels impelled to extend congratu-
1ations to the Washington Evening Star for excel
lent reporting job in covering the story of Green
belt in a series Of six articles just completed.
This refreshing change from the scurrilous
attacks which the metropolitan dailies indulge in
under the glise Of news, merits attention for its
facts and it's editorializing. Obviously leaning
heavily toward the interests Of local real estate
boards which pad the real estate advertising income
of the Star Of the facts of Greenbelt yet
carefully reported except that the conclusions drawn
from these facts do not follow to our minds
quite as obviously as they have to Mr.. James Free,-
what is likely-to his editor.
Reports that Mr.. Free worked valiantly to url-
earth the true facts. In the main the facts
correct. However, the family and population distri-
button is ERRONEOUS actually the blowing number

after being refused school support, vaccines, and

to buy arland auto licenses, pay state auto taxes,
