terials of war and the military and
naval and air strength we now have
and the implements we can now pro-
duce are enough to make certain the
defeat of the axis powers, so long as
Britain is on her feet and fighting,
but that with Britain down they are
enough, and may not in the future
be increased enough to hold the
whole world at bay"
The signers included Douglas Fair

Mayor Maury Maverick, of San An
tonic; Mrs. Dwight Morrow, mother
in-law of Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh; Dorothy Thompson, columnist;
Lewis w, Douglas, president of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, and
former New Deal budget director.
and Dr.. James R. Angel, former pres
ident of Yale University.
"A too prevalent indifference and
apathy toward what is happening i'll
the world, and the threat to our own
vital national interests prompts us
to write you this letter." the COM
munication began.
''We ask you to clarity once more,
but perhaps in greater detail, the ma

civilization in which men may be

A White House secretary said that
the President would be very spe-
cfic' about war aid to Britain in his
nationwide radio address Sunday
night, but would give no figures on
any phase that might be helpful to
any other nation.
The address, first from the White
House in many months, will be
broadcast over three national radio
chains from $50 to 10 p. M, eastern
standard time.

Deplores Underpass
In Massachusetts Avenue.

To the Editor Of The Star:
You editorial of April laments the
elimination from the District supply
bill of an appropriation of $4,000 to
draft plans for the proposed Scott
Circle tnderpass. Joyriders who have
been looking forward to underpasses at
Scott and Dupont Circles since the COM
pletion Of the Thomas Circle underpass
will also share your disappointment
since the action OF the congressional
committee is likely to retard the con-
struction of an automotive roller coaster
in Massachusetts, avenue with thrilling
subterranean dips at Fourteenth, Six
teenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth
streets.
One has only to compare the two ex.
cellent photographs reproduced in the
gravure section of your paper on Easter
Sunday to appreciate the Disagreement
caused by changing Thomas Circle into
an ellipse with forest of lampposts
bearing blatant neon traf1c signs and
safety islands resembling sections of q
jigsaw puzzle Thomas Circle could look
no worse had the center park been BIZ
sected by continuing Massachusetts,
avenue and Fourteenth and M streets di-
rectly through the circle and reducing
the efhgy Of the hero for whom the
circle was named to that Of trafdc
cop.

Maj. LEnfant! Was the National Park
and Planning Commission on the job
when this desecration was permitted,
a project undertaken solely to allow Of
committing motorists to get home
five minutes earlier? The conversion of
Washington's distinctive circles into
eyesores resembling freight terminals
certainly detracts from its esthetic
charms and its reputation of the city
beautiful" 1t is we'll that Congress pause
before sanctioning further Improve
ments" of this sort.
If New York with its narrow streets
can handle constant flow of far heavier
traffic without an underpass at Colum-
bus Circle at Broadway. Fifty-ninth
street Eighth avenue, and Central Park
West one of Gotham's busiest intersec-
tions, certainly it is reasonable to expect
that plan could be devised for handling
the two-hour morning and afternoon
traffic peaks on Washihgton's wider
streets without destroying the splendid
approaches to the Capitals attractive
circular parks. OBSERVER.
