other words, Washington's police
force has not kept pace with the
rapidly expanding population.
But this is through no fault of po-
lice officials nor of the District Com
misSioners. For example, last year
Major Brown made an urgent appeal
for 100 additional men, pointing to
the need for more patrolmen on the
street to combat a series of holdups
and housebreakings. The Commits
sioners, with one eye on an econ
omy- minded Budget Bureau, reduced
this estimate to Is men. The Budget
Bureau, with no explanation what
ever, reduced the item to zero. Con-
gress finally compromised on IS new
policemen. But almost at the same
time Congress reached into the
Metropolitan Police Department for
20 experienced officers to add to its
own police force at the Capitol,
leaving the city deprived of these
valuable men until recruits could be
trained to take their places. These
vacancies have not yet been filled,
due to the period required for in
structing new men in all the duties
and responsibilities of police work
Major Brown again has come to the
Commissioners with a request for
100 more policemen. This time Dis
trict Building authorities need have
no fear of the frowns of the Federal
budget director if they approve
Major Browns estimate in full.
Under the new arrangement be-
tween the Budget Bureau and the
District Building, the whole RESPONSE
bility of determining what recon-
mendation should be made to Con-
greSs rests with the Commissioners.
1t is to be hoped that this new free
dom will result in emphatic indorSe-
ment by the Commissioners of the
modest request for personnel sub
mitted by the Police Department.
There are other important items in
the police estimates that should be
given careful attention by the Com
missioners-such as provision for
new precinct station at Forty-second
street and Benning road northeast,
in a territory now covered by the
eleventh precinct, six miles distant;
for two-way radio facilities and for
new guns. The police estimates ex-
ceed current appropriations by
nearly 100000, but that is not an
excessive figure to invest in improved
law enforcement for the Nations
growing Capital.
Evening star., 1940-08-14
Bottle of Britain

1t is difficult at this stage to de-
termine whether the concentrated
German air raids on England of the
past several days are preliminaries
to an imminent all-out attempt to
invade British soil or an intensifica-
tion Of aerial blockade operations by
which Germany hopes to bring Brit
ain to her kneeS-perhapS without
necessity of an actual landing Of
troops by water-borne transport.
Certain it is, however, that new and
deadlier phase of the battle of and
for Britain is at hand. There are
military experts who believe that the
terrific aerial bombardment of Eng
land Channel coast and inland
points this week Is the prelude to an
immediate total descent by air and
sea upon the tight little headquar-
tiers of the British Empire-the
"Softening-up" barrage ordinarily
assigned to artillery in land often
sive. Dispatches from Berlin, passed
by German censor, tend to support
that hypothesis, and London news
papers openly declare that the Zero
hour" is about to strike. There is no
doubt that If Hitler intends to take
advantage of favorable weather con-
ditions, he must launch his on
Slaught within the next few weeks,
else he will encounter the most ad-
verse conditions in the atmosphere
and at sea.
While details of the damage
wrought so far by the waves of
bombers from the continent are
meager and not greatly enlightening,
reports from London indicate that If
the Germans intend to transport
masses of troops across the turbulent
English Channel and attempt to
establish a bridgehead on the English
shore, great deal more "softening"
of the British capacity to resist will
have to be effected. While Berlin
already is claiming aerial supremacy
over the Channel, which undoubtedly
must be a prerequisite to successful
invasion, the claims have a hollow
ring when appraised in conjunction
with NaZi admissions of British
counterattacks by the Royal Air
Force, not only on Nazi flying legions,
but on military objectives within the
confines of Germany itself.
Moreover, there is not the slightest
hint that British morale is cracking
under the heavy strain put upon it
by the inceSsant air raids. 1t is not
easy for the German mind to COM
prehend the spirit of dogged stead
fastness which holsters the resist
ance of the British people. To the
Britisher his home is his castle, and
history has shown that he will fight
for it with the last ounce of his
energy. America watches the strug-
gle with more than sympathetic in
tereSt-for the battle of Britain is
bound to affect the future course of
democracy not only in the Western
Hemisphere, but in the world at
large.

Says Support the President
And Be United Americans.
To the Editor of The Star:

This is no time for true Americans to
sleep. The only road to peace consists
of 100 per cent Americanism and ma
tional defense with military training as
fast as we can get 1t. Fortunately we
have a great President who understands
the situation far better than many Of
his critics. Let us put aside petty politics
and cooperate with him and the cabinet
and show the dictators what America
can do Hold high the torch of free
dom. Those who bolt against the Presi-
dent do not realize what they are doing.
In the past, American youth has been
trained to play, but now We must meet
fire with fire and if we follow the leader
ship of Franklin D. Roosevelt we will
save America for Americans.

GreenbeIt

Decision of the Federal Govern
ment to divest itself of direct control
of its three model cooperative COM
munitieS, including Greenbelt in
nearby Maryland, marks the begin
ming of new phase in an expert
ment which, as far as some of it's
external evidences 60, has been sue
cessful, but which, in proportion
to its benefits, has been one of the
most costly of efforts to improve the
condition of the national commu-
nifty.
Under the new plan, present limi-
tationS as we'll as rents will be main
tanned, with the Government keep
ing sufficient budgetary supervision
to guarantee retention of the basic
ideals of the community plan. And
while direct control will be in the
hands OF local housing authority
or citizens corporation, the Govern
ment will receive payments which, it
is claimed, will repay, over a period
of many years, the original cost of
the project. But any such claim is
sure to be challenged.
Originally, as estimates increased
monthly during the construction pc
riod, Greenbelts completed cost ap-
proximated $l5,OO0,000. After a full
year of occupancy, it was pointed
out, the rent revenues more than
balanced the operating expenses.
But rents, even should they be sub
stantially increased, still would fall
several hundred thousand dollars a
year short of the full cost if interest,
depreciation and amortization were
taken into consideration.
AS far as the majority of Green
belts individual residents are con-
cerned, the experiment has been
highly successful. They have been
getting good living quarters at rela-
lively. little expense. This achieve
ment has not been lifting by boot
straps, but definite experiment in
Federal and community paternalism
comparable in its results to the city
mans kitchen garden-profitable
and pleasant so long as expenditure
of time, effort and money can be
ignored. 1t might have served its
best purpose had it become model
for private cooperative enterprise.
But here the return of even the capi-
tai investment is so improbable that
no such hope can be held.
The National Government is act
ing wisely in withdrawing as an
operating landlord-for the National
Government should not be in this
business. Every success is wished
for the residents who now take over
the enterprise.
