Visitor From Brazil
Fears 0vercrowdinq
Will Scar Capital
Social Historian Here
As Guest of Division
Of Cultural Relations

AS concerned as the District off,
cials with heavy influx of popula-
ton here is Washington's latest
South. American visitor, Sergio
Buarque de Hollanda, Brazilian
social historian.
Informed that the Government
is employing an all-time high of
$4,000 workers in the Nations Cap
ital, Senior Hollanda bobbed his head
with concern.
IF all these people come, Wash
ington will be like any other city"
he deplored Now 1t is unique.
1t has character, no?"
Not as naturally beautiful as his
native city of Rio de Janeiro, Wash
ington nonetheless has an architec-
tural soul, according to Mr.. Buarque
de Hollanda, who will remain in the
United States until July 18 as the
guest of the State Departments IS
Division Of Cultural Relations.
Hopes City Retains Grace.
After only four days here, mostly
spent studying American manu-
scripts on Brazil in the Library of
Congress, Che visitor has conceived
a fervent wish that Washington will
continue as it is, graceful with its
gardens" not vulgar and common"
like most overcrowded cities.
An official of the Brazilian Min
istry of Education, Mr.. Buarque de
Hollanda works in the government
subsidized Institution of Books, pub
fishing books of cultural interest
which might otherwise never see
light. Other activities of the in
stitution are development of Ii
braries and compilation of the Bra
lillian encyclopedia.
To Visit Wyoming.
The author of a social history.
Roots of Brazil" Mr.. Buarque de
Hollanda will visit the University
of Wyoming to observe its depart
ment on Brazil next week and will
speak at a round table on Pam
at the University OF
Chicago.
The last of five Brazilians sent to
this country under the State De-
partment's plan, the visitor expects
to be asked to speak of his expert
ences in America when he returns
to his own country.
The point he will emphasize, he
said yesterday, is that South Amer
ica's long neglect of the culture OF
the United States must come to
an end.

Mexico City Gonesters
Killing Each Other Off

Racketeers in Mexico City have
fallen out and have begun killing
one another, according to the po-
lice. Three thieves known as small
time racketeers, who collected pro-
lection money from stores, cut each
other to ribbons. All died from loss
of blood.
The latest racket is to hold up
and rob small markets that refuse
to pay for protection. Less violent
methods are constantly used. Dirt
finds its way into ice cream con-
tainers on carts, and food is spoiled
IN various ways. Racketeers make
life miserable for holdouts by spy
ing on them and reporting every
infraction of sanitary rules.

Investigators Call
Florida Officials
In Asphalt Probe
w. P. A. Administrators
Asked About Peppers
EoIin Field Activities

The House Military Affairs SUBJ
committee probing the Eglin Field
asphalt contract, in which the name.
of Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of:
Florida has figured prominently ex-
pected today to hear from Roy
Schroeder, former w. P. A. admin
istrator for Florida and now w, p.
A. regional director IN Atlanta, and
from Wilbur E. Harkness, former
Treasury procurement officer for
Florida, who now is the State w. P.
A. administrator. e.
The subcommittee was told yes
terday by 1t. Col. j. B. Newman OF
the Army engineers that he had,
been informed Senator Pepper ap-
proved a compromise between quar-
reling asphalt contractors on the
Eglin Field Air Corps project IN
Florida because his interest was in
the Governments giving an ORDER
for 100000 gallons to the Pan
American Petroleum Corp. He f1atly
denied, however, that Senator Pep
per brought any pressure on the En-
gineer Corps in behalf Of Pan Amer
ican.
Each Got Orders.
Under the settlement the War
Department placed an emergency
order for 1900 900 gallons of asphalt
with Pan-American in order to get
work started. For the same project,
the w P A. gave Allied Materials
Inc. Atlanta, an order for 1900 600
gallons for immediate delivery, with
a promise 1t would be permitted to
deliver another 100000 gallons
later.
On the original bid for 3,6OOO0
gallons, each claimed to be low.
Allied representatives told the COM
mittee Senator Pepper intervened
on behalf of Pan-American, which
DID from its Florida Office Fred T.
Bridges, vice president Of Allied,
Saio his company was forced into
a compromise"
Col Newman said he did not talk
to Senator Pepper himself, but had
several telephone conversations with
the Senator's secretary, Oscar
johnson.
Approved Solution.
He said Senator Peppers secre-
tary told him. when informed of the
compromise, that it was a fine So
luton" He said the secretary added
he was sure the Senator would not
object to the award of any amount
to Allied so long as Pan-American
got an order for 1900 900 gallons.
He added that Senator Peppers
secretary made it clear that the
Senator didn't want us to do any,
thing that wasn't entirely proper,
that he didn't want to place any
pressure on us, and that he only
wanted to keep in touch with what
we were doing"
Questioned by Representative Cla-
son, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
Col. Newman said he believed both
Pan American and Allied we're cor
rect in claiming the award. He
said the difficulty went back to the
wording of the original invitation
for bids. Because either rail or
barge delivery was permitted, he
said it meant that "one man was
bidding on peaches and one man
was bidding on apples"

Herr Hitler is stopped adj stop
ped now the conclusion is in
escapable. But the stupendouS
task of thwarting the dictator's
ambitions in effort to conquer
the free nations of Europe was
more than a diplomatic notion
or in fact was by far more than
a job for one or two nations.
BY strategy of initiative and
surprise Hitler managed to keen
the entire world in doubt guess
as to his military moves until
he succeeded in bringing the
independent nations on h c
continent of Europe under his
feet. England is pushed entirely
off the continental map of Eu-
rope and in turn the resources
of the conquered lands are used
by decree to feed Hitler's wal
machine to further dominate
and enslave the world. Regard
less of whose war this is or wha,
America is led to think about j,
or decides to do about it the
defeat of Hitler is no one or two
nations jobs. -,
