Abuse Of Park Areas
By Defense Officials
by |ckes
New War Building Cited
By Secretary os ExompIe
Of Lack Of Foresight
By HENRY A. Muslin.

Secretary of Interior Ickes today
denounced what he termed strong
tendency" on the part OF certain
defense officials, the Army in par
ticular, to achieve defense objectives
without regard for the general in
terest" by disregarding park and
recreational values in order to put
Washington on a war footing.
Invited to express his views be-
fore the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission on certain
park road Improvements in connec-
ton with the new War Department
Building in Arlington, Va. Mr
Ickes delivered a blanket indict-
ment.
Specifically. Mr. Ickes found fault
with:
l. The new War Department
Building with its upsetting in
fluences involving shifting popula-
tions, traffic congestions and a gen.
eral disturbance of the whole city
pattern"
2. Temporary Government office
buildings being located in many
of the downtown parks. despite the
unhappy experience of the lest war,
and which have given Washington
its worst scars" and "defaced" it
for nearly two decades.
Foresight Lacking.
g. Lack OF foresight on the part
OF early park officials, planning au-
thorities and appropriating bodies in
not acquiring certain lands suitable
for parks which now we have lost
forever" Typical OF this loss. he
said, is a fine bit of woods along
Cleveland avenue" which has been
cut up into building lots and
crowded with contractor-built
houses
1. The Nations and Army's fall
ure. as borne out by the great num-
Der of selective service reflections for
physical disability. to realize the
Importance of recreation that
healthy bodies can neither be built
up nor maintained in areas that
are crowded to the point of un-
healthiness."
Mr.. Ickes attributed these faults
to the pressure of speed and ex-
pediency" under the defense pro-
gram. which too often has Influenced
the Judgment of all of U.S."
The greatest danger from this
pressure lies in the fact that the
most expeditions solution is likely
to be one which will be perma-
nently Objectionable" he added.
Will Resent Despoliation.
The Secretary predicted that
when the hysteria that causes the
reaching out for our park space for
temporary buildings has passed, the
people of the United States will
deeply resent the despoliation Of the
Capital City"
He said if he felt it necessary he
would be the first to call for the
destruction of our parks and even
for the demolition of the Washing
ton Monument and the Lincoln and
jefferson Memorials" emphasizing
his willingness to pay this price and
a greater one to save ourselves from
Hitler"
But none of these things is nee
essary," Mr.. Ickes declared.
He said "A little more ingenuity
and quite a bit more interest in
Washington and its population

him with a gift. 1t was a little
picture framing the ace of hearts
and the ace of clubs. Failing to
cash either of these aces in a re-
cent tournament cost him a cham
pionship. AS he received no cup,
we thought at least he should have
his two aces. Here is the hand that
cost two aces.
Dummy played low on the open
ing lead and South had a difficult
guess whether to read the lead as
a singleton, doubleton or tripleton.
Not knowing that he was going to
get two trump tricks, he decided
to let the jack of clubs ride.
Declarer went over to the ace
of trumps to lead the jack OF
hearts, as though for a finesse
against the queen. Again South
played low.
Then declarer cashed three top
diamonds, discarding dummy's last
heart, and simply cross-ruffed the
rest. South won only his two trUmps
and declarer made five-odd on
cards worth only nine tricks.
