land has been disrupted by the Euro
pean war, according to a letter re-
ceived last week by Mrs. Carrie
Frankhauser Neuenschwander form
er Bluffton area resident, now living
in Lima.
The letter was from a 77-year-old
aunt living in Canton, Bern, Switz-
erland. 1t is as follows:
AT last we have received your
letter we have been waiting for,
after it had been on the way more
than month. We have had at our
house a few misfortunes but nothing
very serious. When a person reaches
our age there are many things
which point toward death, but this
is not as sad for us as the poor
young ones who are sent to such an
early death for some ones greed.

Civic Association
Comment Hits Sudden,
lII-Conceived Projects

! Congress "disowned" its own plan
/ for development of the city of Wash

new War Department Building in
Arlington, Va, an article in the
October issue of Planning and Civic
/ Comment, publication of the Ameri-
can Planning and Civic Associa-
ton, declares
Reviewing the course of the dis
pute centering around the structure,
the article states that the plan ito
build a misplaced and overgrown
permanent headquarters building in
Virginia under the cloak of meet
ing immediate emergency needs has
been modified, but not entirely cor
rected."
The article says placing of the
building outside the District of
Columbia departed from the COM
prehensive plan of Washington
worked out by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission with the approval of
Congress" and concludes:
Thus Congress. responsible for
Washington. the first planned Ma
tional Capital in the world, is dis
owning its own plan"
Haste Creates Problems.
Discussing the building with re-
spect to the emergency, the article
states:
/ IN periods of defense emergency
public and private agencies and
citizens desire to do all in their
power to expedite the defense pro-
gram. but experience has shown
that sudden, ill-conCeived plans
often create more problems than
they solve and run into Expenses
and delays which might Have been
avoided if comprehensive planning
has preceded action"
One of the problems" the $751;
100000 War Department Building
has created concerns access roads,
the article points out. Another
problem is threatening to develop, 1t
saws. in the already well-advanced
private projects for tall, denSely-
occupied apartment hotels in the
vicinity" of the building.
/ An editorial following the article
suggests that the War Departments

swered by putting up temporary
/ buildings on the same site. These
would occupy less space and leave

the editorial terms his decision to

1t also applauds the Presidents

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The chilled

get their feet wet, couldn't make
up their minds today whether the
betting men believe in miracles, are
simple creatures of habit or nave

The odds were to that Henry
Armstrong would win back his
welterweight title in a 15-round
ruckus with Fritzie zivic in Madi-
son Square Garden tomorrow night,
and making Hennery the Hammer
favorite just didn't add up, even
to those fortunate enough to own
an adding machine.
Henry Off in Training.
First off, Fritzie gave the great
little Negro warrior a considerable

handle Henry's corner in place of
ailing Eddie.
Some said the betting boys may
have put Fritzie on the short end
of the price because Armstrong
hasn't been the wagering underdog
around here in so long the gambling
men just couldn't change now.
Experts" Are Up in Air.
Possibly the more logical reason
ing is that Armstrong was great for
so long, and Zivic was knicking
around the bush leagues for so long,
that the boys believe this is Just
another miracle the little buzzsaw
can perform. Henry is near the
end of the road now, but he, him.
self. is convinced he's a better man
than Zivic any day in the week.
The experts" really are up in
the air about this. Although most
OF them lean toward Zivic, several
who string along with Armstrong
admit they're doing it out of ID
sentiment and 90 the fact that
Henry has pulled tougher chestnuts
out of bigger fires than this. This
corner goes with Zivic this time,
largely because Armstrong, after
years as the rip-roaringest offensive
fighter in the game, suddenly has
changed his style and is thinking
about defense.

ORLANDO, Fla, Jan. 16.-Don
McNeill of Oklahoma City, national
tennis champion, stuck to a brand
of sound tennis to eliminate the bid
of Hal Surface, Kansas City ace, in
the annual Orlando tennis cham
pionship.
McNeill reached the semifnals
yesterday by defeating Surface,
6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Surface seemed to
try too hard at the start of the
match and his forehand suffered.
The country's second ranking
player, Bobby Riggs of Chicago, took
his task lightly and won 2-6, 6-3,

Orlando. Elwood Cooke of Portland,
Greg, won from Norman Copeland,
Orlando, 60, 81, and Jack Kramer

Kramer was matched today with
