Farm Bureau
Hears Maj. Lee
On Housing
County Farm Organization
Gets First Hand InfOrma-
ton On Low Cost Rural
Housing

Speaking before the monthly
meeting Of the Montgomery county
farm bureau directors this week,
Major E. Brooke Lee, chairman of
the Montgomery County Housing
Authority, outlined plans for es-
tablishing low cost housing prof.
ects in rural Montgomery county
Major Lee stated that the pro-
posed plans include eight projects
for white and eight for colored
farm workers of low income.
These are to be alternately placed
in the rural sections of the county.
No relief clients will be eligible to
rent from the authority, only those
having low income, he stated.
No definite site has as yet been
selected, the chairman stated, but
in all probability the Authority
will open up about 800, modern liv-
able houses. These will greatly i'm
prove the living conditions of farm
labor, said Lee and would tend to
raise their present standard of liv-
ing.
When asked if the houses would
have easements, Major Lee exhib-
tied an architects drawing of g
bedroom type home showing the
floor plans that did not call for
cellar. It was felt by the Authority
that a central storage place would
be more suitable, while each house
is planned to have storage room.
William j. Hines, a Farm Bureau
director from Brighton, stated that
ne owned 5 tenant houses but felt
four of them should be torn down,
because they did not meet with the
housing authority requirements,
and he would like to help correct
conditions. To this remark, Eugene
B. Casey, Gaithersburg farmer and
director, answered that if Mr..
Hines would put up the same type
houses as the Montgomery County
Housing Authority plans to, he
twill guarantee that the F. H. A.
will not let the project in Mont
gomery County"
When charts were displayed
showing plans of the proposed vii
lagos, intense interest was evidenc-
ed. 1t was brought out that there
would be individual heating units
with probable central water sys-
tenn.
w. Lawson King, influential
farmer and automobile dealer of
Gaithersburg, assured the group
that he thought farm labor should
have better houses. Mr.. King owns
and operates several large farms
in upper Montgomery county. King
also expressed an opinion that the
Housing authority could stay out
of the Gaithersburg district.
The meeting was conducted by
James D. King, Germantown, pres
ident. In statement later Mr.. King
said, 81 am not opposed to improv-
ing the status of farm labor but I
am opposed to upsetting the eco
nomic situation Of the county"
It is planned to hold a special
session of the directors next week
to further discuss the housing sit
uation and in all probability COM
mittee will be appointed to confer
with the Montgomery County
Housing Authority.

The fear that has haunted this
community for many months stalk
ed abroad this week when little
Paul Dieffenbach was struck and
seriously injured by an automobile
on Strathmore avenue, through
highway that divides residential
Garrett Park.
DR.. J. Wilkins Cooch, of Kens-
ington, told Pauls parents that
the boy had suffered broken col
lar bone and severe decorations of
both legs. One of twins, six-year-
old Paul must stay in bed several
days under the doctors observa-
ton.
"Twinie" as Paul is called by his
playmates who have trouble dis
tinguishing him from his brother,
Philip, thus became the crest of a
wave of indignation that is this
week engulfing the Park. The feel
ing of the community was express
sed by Mayor Roy Moore who has
been trying for two years to Sc
cure patrol, protection for school
children at the crossing where Paul
was struck.
Garrett Park has sought time
ard time again to get county auth
critics to establish a patrol at this
crossing at least during the times
children are going to and coming
from school," Moore said. "All of
us are thankful that Paul Dieffen-
bach was not killed, and We pray
that none of our children will be
sacrificed before adequate protec-
ton is provided.
"We are told ours is but one
school in many, but we wonder if
our school does not present more
serious. crossing problem than
others. l will again take our petit
ton to the county officials at Rock
vile = this time with unhappy
proof of our contentious.
Despite 25 mile speed limit signs
ard marked danger zones, towns
folk say that motorists plough
along Strathmore avenue as
though it were a speedway. The
danger doubly concerned parents,
however, because the one-room,
primary grade school, is situated
across the highway from the thick
ly settled part of the community.
Ironically, Rudolph Dieffenbach,
father of Paul, recently retired as
president of the Citizens Associa-
ton in which Office he had fire.
quently interviewed in an effort to
secure protection at the crossing.
"Mrs. Dieffenbach and l are
grateful that Paul was not injured
more seriously" Mr.. Dieffenbach
said. Certainly the accident should
bring prompt action from officials
who have been deaf to our pleas
for a patrol"
Twenty to thirty children, from
six to ten years of age, must cross
or pass the intersection where the
Dieffenbach boy was injured.
Strathmore avenue, a broad two
lane highway, is used regularly by
motorists between Kensington and
the Rockville pike. Recently CCC
boy had been secured to stand pa
troll at the intersection, but corps
officials objected and the boy was
withdrawn four days prior to the
accident. The Mothers club of the
Park had provided a tin dummy
which is placed in. the middle of
the highway some feet away from
the intersection = constituting the
only protection for the children.
81 am going to take up the fight
for patrol protection where Mr..
Dieffenbach left it,, said James L.
Thomas, newly elected president of
the Citizens Association. 81 live on
Strathmore avenue, and I know
that motorists constantly ignore
the 25 mile limit, in fact it is the

The reception here will be handled
as it was for the arrival of President
Somoza of Nicaragua last Friday.
In expectation of greater crowds,
more troops than the 5000 used last
Friday may be called out, possibly
5000 or 1000.
King George and President Roose-
welt will ride from the Union Sta
ton to the White House in the Presi-
dents bullet-proof touring car. but
the top will be down. Secret Service
men will ride on the running boards.
During the parade to the White
House some of the police may face
the crowd, while scores of plain
clothes men will be among the spec
tators. Asked whether the troops
would face the crowd, an official
pointed out that they will be re-
quired to present arms at the pas
sage Of the royal visitors.
The same elaborate precautions
maintained for the railroad trip
from the border to Washington will
prevail for the return trip to Canada
by way of New York City and Hyde
Park, N. Y. Enroute to New York.
If the weather is good, the train will
stop at Red Bank, N. j., and the
royal couple will proceed to New

Far-reaching precautions to pro-
tect King George and Queen Eliza
beth Of England during their visit
here next month will be camouflaged
as much as possible.
Officials desire to make the police
arrangements 100 per cent efficient,
but at the same time to avoid giving
the impression that the royal pair
are visiting nation in arms.
The last word has yet to be said
in the conferences among officials
of the State Department, White
House, Secret Service. Army, Navy
and Marines and the Department
of Justice, but the following became
known today:
From the border on down the
royal train will be preceded by two
trains. The first will be pilot
train, with only few officials and
some expert trainmen aboard. The
trainmen are skilled to detect-just
by listening-any defect in the track
over which they pass. The second
train will carry newspapermen.
Thousands of soldiers and police
will guard the railroad right-of way
during the night trip from Niagara
Falls, N. Y, to Washington.

MOSCOW, May 9.-The Kremlin

British Ambassador.
It had been understood, however,
that the note conveyed British
counter proposals to the Soviet sug-
gestion of a far-reaching security
plan based on a British French
Russian military alliance.
Britain was understood to have
favored Soviet assistance to all
states on the western border of the
U. S. S. r., promising British
French aid to Russia If such assist
ance involved her in conflict.
The Moscow foreign office, while
1t was still headed by Maxim Lit

French-Russian guarantee to Baltic
and Black Sea states.
The calm prevailing in British
circles following Sir Williams inter-
view with Molotod was interpreted
by some observers as meaning nego-

VERDUN. France, May 9.-The
Duke of Windsor received hearty
congratulations from French on
cials today for his plea-broadcast
simply as q soldier OF the last
war"-to "save humanity from the
terrible fate which threatens It,"
He was greeted by a group Of
Meuse Department officials shortly
before he and his American-born
Duchess began an automobile trip
back to Paris.
The French press, like British
newspapers, gave prominent display
to the Dukes brief address of last
night, but refrained from comment.
Semi-ofleial and diplomatic sources
in France said that the speech was
welcome" in its appeal for the
maintenance Of peace.
Duke Delighted"
Associates said the Duke was de
lighted" with the broadcast. They
insisted 1t was not venture toward
political activity and said the Dukes
brother, King George of England,
had approved it.
The Duke made his address last
night after concluding a tour of
World War battle sectors, avowing
that he spoke simply as a soldier
Of the last war"
He urged "all political leaders" to
rise above purely national inter-
ests" to negotiate by mutual con-
cessions in which conflicting claims
can be adjusted"
Paper Hits Censorship.
The address was not broadcast by
the British Broadcasting Corp. The
Daily Mail of London. which said
the tone Of the appeal was "unex-
ceptionable" and would "resound in
all the chancelleries of the world"
declared that the issue of whether
it should be broadcast would prob
ably not have presented itself as a
delicate problem" if the Royal Court
had been in London. King George
vi and Queen Elizabeth are now
en- route to Canada and the United
States.
An editorial in the London Eve
ming Standard said that the error
of the Duke of Windsor in broad
casting while their majesties are en-
route to America cannot excuse the
stupidity Of the B. B. c." in not
relaying the speech in England. 1t
added:
This morning all Britain has
read the Dukes pronouncement.
Why should they not have heard it
last night? An attempt to i'm
pose censorship which does not gain
its object is worse than no censor

we now going to destroy that sfvi-
nzation by failing to do interna-
tionally what we have learned to do
individually?
Declare Against War.
In their public utterances the
heads Of all governments are as one
in declaring that war would be dis
astrous to the well-being Of their
people. Whatever political disagree
ments may have arisen in the past
the supreme importance Of averting
war will, feel confident, impel all
those in power to renew their en-
deavors to bring about a peaethl
settlement. =
Among the measures that r feel
might well be adopted to this end
is the disparagement Of all that
harmful propaganda which, from
whatever source it comes, tends to
poison the minds Of the people Of
the world.
I personally deplore, for example,
the use Of such terms as "encircle-
ment" and aggression" They can
only arouse just those dangerous
passions that 1t should be the aim
Of us all to subdue.
It is in a larger spirit than that
Of personal or purely national inter-
/ests that peace should be pursued
The statesmen who set themselves
to restore international security and
confidence must act as good citizens
of the world and not only as good
Frenchmen, Italians, Germans,
Americans or Britons. The benefit
to their own nation must be sought
through the benefit Of the wider
community of which we are all
members.
Hold Fate Of the Living.
In the name of those who fell In
the last war, I urge all political
leaders to be resolute in the dis
charge of this mission. I appeal to
them in the name of the living
whose existence and happiness are
in their hands.
And I appeal to them especially
In the name Of the youth of the
present day with all its incalculable
potentialities of future service of the
human race. The world has not vet
recovered from the effects of the last
carnage, which in each. and every
country decimated my generation
The greatest success that any gov
ernment could achieve for its own
national policy would be nothing in
comparison with the triumph of
having contributed to save humanity
