hind the constructive measures pro-
posed to remedy some of Washing
tons most acute problems. Efforts
will be made to get congressional
approval and appropriation of need
ed funds at this session.
1t was the sense of the commission
that the proposed fringe parking
lots be both municipality and pri-
vately operated. The District gov
eminent, it was said, should take
the initiative.
The commission also explored the
possibilities for decentralization of
old line Government bureaus and re-
moval of agencies from Washington
as result of rapid expansion of de-
fense agencies which is creating an
incessant demand for additional
Office space.
Mr.. Settle said no specific pro-
posals concerning the removal OF
Government bureaus from Washing
ton were before the commission, but
the study had been prompted by the
recent act of Secretary of the In
terror Ickes in decentralizing the
Grazing Division. Personnel in that
division of the Interior Department
is to be scattered among regional
Offices in the West.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion, of course, has no voice in saying
what bureaus should be shifted from
Washington, but it has direct con-
nection with finding suitable loca-
tions for new public buildings. There
is very little data to go on, but in a
general study of the subject the COM
mission is exploring all possible
building sites in the congested city.
The study, it was indicated, is being
made as a matter of preparedness
for any situation that might be
thrust suddenly upon the commits

To Clear Playground Site.
Late yesterday, the commission
took steps to order the demolition of
all houses in an area between Fourth
and Fifth streets and New Jersey
avenue NV. in order to complete
acquisition of land for the midcity
playground.
Approval also was given for the
purchase of two small parcels of
land for the George Washington
Memorial Parkway in Maryland.
Several transfers of land also were
authorized in the city. A slice of the
Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway
was transferred to the Public Build
ings Administration. This is above
K street and will be used for the
Northwest heating plant. A triangle
of one-half an acre at Massachusetts

Not Fighting Alone"
Firms who fought heroically and
alone against the overwhelming
might of Russia's army and air
force in 1939-4O heard their Presi-
dent broadcast last night that they
must fight Russia again-but this
time not alone.
The Kremlin, President Ryti told
his radio audience, has decided on
even more brutal measures against
Finland than before"
But. he added, Now We are not
alone! Great Germany, under the
leadership of Chancellor Hitler, has
decided to wage war against the
Soviets and other nations have
joined Germany.
Russia in this task is facing a
united front stretching from the
White Sea to the Black Sea"
Sadly the President alluded to the
many conflicts in which Firms have
fought to remain free.
Citizens" he said, centuries have
shown that on the site on which fate
has placed this nation, permanent
peace cannot be achieved.

ways upon us. To reduce this pres

Ryti made no mention OF a dec

Finland was determined to defend
itself to the last breath.

their explosive loads over a wide

Both Inspector Kelly, who is in

yesterday, Mr.. Lipscomb said he was
returning from a bachelor dinner
in his honor Wednesday night when
he turned the wrong way down
one-Way street, but quickly discov-

About a mile and a half from the

When he protested charges against
him at the station, he said, he was

said the police got the best of him
and he was knocked down.
He was charged with disorderly

hour. His two companions, Graham
Weigle, Is, of Kensington, and
George Elan. "a, 5406 Thirteenth

Devastation Again
On Finnish Cities

BY the Associated Press.

HELSINKI, Finland, June 81
Finnish observers said today that
devastation from the sky, such as
typified the Soviet Russian winter
invasion of 1939-40, had marked the
outbreak of hostilities between Fin
land and Russia-officially acknowl-
edged here last night.
Turku, on the southwest coast, was
reported to be-aS it was in the
1939-40 war-Finlands worst devas-
tated city. More than 100 build
ings were destroyed there and other
property was damaged.
Turku would be logical debarka-
ton point for German troops sent to
Finland.
Observers expressed belief that
thousands of persons were homeless.
Incoming reports laconically listed
places raided, but the number of
casualties and the extent of the
damage were impossible to estimate.
Pledges Fight For Freedom.
President Risto Ryti said in
broadcast, made while Russian
bombs fell upon Finnish cities last
night as an aftermath of the Ger
man invasion of Russia, that 1--WE
shall fight for the freedom of our
country and for the creed of our
fathers"
The exiled Viipuri newspaper
Karjala, organ of 100000 refugees
from the lost province of Karelia,
said you would think Russia needs
her air force elsewhere than in
bombing small Finnish towns"
With about two-thirds of its nor
NAL population of 100000 volun-
tarily removed, Helsinki was pro-
tected by fighter patrols overhead.
Finnish air raid precautions au-
thorities warned citizens that those
who don't go into bomb shelters
during air alarm are liable to pun
ishment.
The measure was taken to end ac-

With it's collegiate membership
leading the way, Potomac Boat Club
has begun extensive rowing practice
in preparation for a full season
which begins May 80 with participa-
ton in the Harlem River regatta at
New York
The Memorial Day event will
mark the first event of the year, al
though Georgetown members have
been out for several weeks, meeting
out-of town schools here and afield.
President George Herman an
nounced that either an eight-oared
shell or four-oared gig would be
sent to New York, depending on the
showing oarSmen make in the next
two weeks.
Plans also are being made, he said,
to bring the opening regatta of the
Southern Rowing Association to
Washington the middle of next
month. Potomac, Old Dominion at
Alexandria, Arundel in Baltimore
and Virginia Boat Club in Richmond
make up the association.
Every two weeks thereafter the
four clubs will rotate in sponsoring
one of the series. Norman Marden,
club member, is chairman of the
Racing Committee of the associa-
ton.

But since winning it for the first

Navy Equals Harvard Wins.
Navy's three wins in '33, SO and
'37, however, give it as many vic
tories as Harvard has scored, with
Penn trailing by one. The Quakers
gained their triumphs in 1884 and
1885.
Because some TOO members of the
Associated Harvard Clubs are plan

Harvard, incidentally, will be

in deep water in this section the

At Plum Point the ebb starts an
hour earlier, while at the mouth OF

Blues Again Absent.
The few blues reported from time

Carolina Coasts are the summer
fish, weighing from one to tive
pounds. In the days of real bluef1sh'

north but stayed there under ths
beach throughout the summer.
The big schools, usually appearing
off Hatteras late in March or earl,
in April, have failed for another
season to make their rendezvous
There still is some chance the.
might appear this month, but 1

schools, which through their sum

There have been gueSSes-that
they followed up the West Florida
Coast on the spring run of 1910, and
that they have made the Atlantic
crossing and are summering of the
Spanish Coast-but any ones guess
is as good as either of these. The
one thing of which we are sure. Is,
their absence from their usual
hauntS.
Enter Your Big Fish.
Anglers in this section, for one
reason or another, fail to cash in on
their large fish by not entering them
in one or more of the many con-
tests for which they are eligible.
Yet they talk in their boards when
they look over the winners after
the contests are closed. One Vir-
ginian last season wrote us about
his catch of a large channel bass
sent a picture, and was astonished
to learn it was of winning caliber
when we sent him an application
blank. His fish paid of to the tune
of $3.50, with another 500 for his
boatman.
Now here's the fifth annual con-
test of the Western Auto Supply, for
black bass only, which pays off with
more than $45O0 worth of fine fish,
ing tackle, and anglers compete
only against others in their own
section or state-it covers 38 States
and the District of Columbia.
We cannot help anglers in this
contest by sending application
blanks. They must do that for
themselves, but obtain them now at
any Western store or associate
store, and be ready when that big
one comes along.
There are no obligations, beyond
good sportsmanship and the obser-
vance of State regulations. 1t starts
now, or when bass fishing is allowed
in this section, and ends on Sep
tember 80.
Fishing contests have become as
popular as quiz programs. Every
section has a local contest, and the
same fish can be entered in one or
more of the national contests. Get
some of the easy money or tackle
