Memorial Parkway's
Military Value Cited
AT interior Bill Quiz
Park Service Aide Asks
Six Million for Work
On Two Other Highways

The George Washington Memorial
Parkway, along with the Blue Ridge
Parkway and the Natchez Trace
project have considerable military
value" offering opportunity for
rapid movement of men and mate
rials, A. E. Demaray, associate direc-
tor of the National Park Service,
told Congress in the hearings on the
Interior Department appropriation
bill, made public yesterday.
Mr.. Demaray'S testimony was in
support of an item of s6,000,000 for
work on the Blue Ridge and Natchez
Trace projects. He also urged that
the George Washington Memorial
Parkway be included in the author
ization, but explained that no work
will be undertaken on it under this
authorization unless the failure of
the States to acquire the necessary
rights of way on the Blue Ridge
Parkway in North Carolina and Vir-
ginia prevents the contracting OF
sections approved for construction
under the current program"
Must Pay Half Of Cost.
"In the case of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway" he ex-
planned, 1.-The State of Virginia and
the counties involved must provide
so per cent of the cost of acquiring
rights of way, the other so per cent
being provided for out of appropria-
tions made to the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Difficulty in securing matching
has been experienced in the past
because there is no authorization
for the construction of the park
way. The present language has
been added in order to place this
parkway on the same basis as the
Blue Ridge and Natchez Trace"
Direct appropriations and public
works funds previously have been
used for the construction work on
this project, it was explained at the
park service, in connection with his
testimony.
Mr.. Demaray said it had been
thought money would be provided
for the George Washington work
in the Federal Highway Act for 1912
and 1943, but that no provision had
been made. He pointed out that
the completed portion Of the park
way provides four-lane high-speed
motorway from Mount Vernon to

RecreatiOnal Value.
In discussing the military value
OF the other two highways, Mr.. De-
maray contended that recreational
aspects of the parkways should not
be overlooked, especially during a
period when many people are under
a much greater strain than during
ordinary circumstances" He ex-
planned the Blue Ridge Parkway

proximately 100000 people.

weeks, instead of Sic.
Rep. Edward J. Walsh, of De-
troit, Democratic floor leader. was
victim of an unfortunate develop
ment last week when the House
killed a proposal TO give the me-
tropolis another 100000 year IN
school aid.
The proposal lost by a vote Of
43 to Al because Walsh and three
other Detroit members were alb
sent from the chamber. Had they
been present. the amendment IA
voring Detroit would have carried.
II appeared that Walsh, like the
others, was derelict in his duty
as a representative of the city.
As a matter-of fact, he was on
the job and had been called TO
the executive office by Governor
Van Wagner.
Van Wagner told the floor
leader to notify the House that
if the school aid bill appropriated
the huge sum of SAC, 100000 a
year, he would be compelled to
veto il.
When the Detroit member re-
turned to the lawmakers with this
vital message. the Detroit amend
ment had been defeated and the
bill had been passed.
Next to the labor bills. sharp
est controversy in the Legislature
next week will concern the bills
to prevent sale of beer on Sunday,
and to make other major changes
in the LIQUOR control system.

Axis Press Attack

Paced by auto production, which

in Detroit continued to improve

Commerce reported Saturday.
Automobile output totaled 1872
$50 cars and trucks, a rise of about
1000 above the preceding week
and 5000 above the same period
year ago. Industrial power sales
increased about 4 per cent. DSR

Secret Plans

Steps to provide protection Tor
ships moving in the Red Sea I'M
doubtedly have been considered,
but what these are remains a Sc
cret. In order to emphasize his
attitude, the President, one week
later. reiterated his intention OF
extending the American neutrality
patrol to whatever limits IT was
deemed necessary for the defense
of the Western Hemisphere and
for the protection of American IN
tereSts.
I He stated also that he COnSId-
cred it perfectly legal for United
States waTshipS to enter bellig-
|erent areas which he, as President
had marked out by executive order
at the beginning of the European
war as forbidden waters for United
States merchantmen. In this con-
nection, the administration has
consistently refused to recognize
the legality of Germany's methoC
of blockade and sea warfare.
Ten days ago-and despite tn,
threats Of the Axis powers Z
sink on sight" the maritime com
mission announced that American
merchant ships would soon be sail
ing 10 the Red Sea.

30-Day Strike Notice

In its original form. the measure
provided that workers in defense
industries must serve 30 days no.
tice of a disagreement with en-
ployers--a procedure now being
followed voluntarily by the unions.
After 30 days of mediation, the
employers and employees would be
compelled to submit to arbitration
and abide by the ruling of the
arbiters. A strike in a defense
industry would be prohibited.

orful naval defenses at the Gulf
of Alden in order to get into the
Red Sea. Every submarine en-
gagged in this duty is just one less
for service in the Battle of the
Atlantic. thereby reducing the
toll where it is potentially greater.
Surcease in Atlantic
Thus, should the Axis threat
be carried out, this new commit
ment will force Hitler to pay
especial attention TO the Red Sea.
The enlargement of duties ofothese
various types of vessels and air.
craft will provide the desired
diversion from an about attack
on England, and will weaken the
Axis ability to concentrate for
the Battle OF the Atlantic just
at the time when sea and weather
conditions are the best, and when
shorter nights prevail up TO the
end of June.
If this Summer sees no NaZi
gain, Hitler's hope of victory at
sea will be small, as the American
replacement shipping program will
begin to be effective and mass pro-
duction of all munitions will b.
in full stride.
The German warning regarding
the Red Sea-which has been re-
peated several times recently
stems from a government already
aroused by the extended Ameri-
can naval patrols plus increasinS
concern regarding the growing aid
to Britain, hence the latest chal-
lenge.

This was done for the specific

Britain by providing her with
necessary supplies and munitions

leasing British ships for much
needed service in the Atlantic and

One particular point was
brought out by the President

His remark was that you can't

Stewards urqed
to spot safety
violations

The most powerful "persuader"
a Steward can use to sign up
new members is the Grievance
Procedure. IL the many phases
of this procedure are clearly ex-
planned, non-members cannot fail
to become interested in its bene-
fits because no man is inter-
ested in anything more than the
working conditions under which
he must devote the better part of
his time each day.
It's up to every Steward to
search for grievances in his de-
partment, and file them promptly.
This will have a very telling effect
on signing up new members on
the second shift.
Management at Frigidaire has
been guilty of one practice which
carries the distinct ordor of dead
fish. 1t is the cry OF violations OF
Safety Rules-and then the lack
of improving conditions to avoid
the many accident hazards that
have cropped up since increased
production went into effect. Grip
pied men have become common
place. And something very radical
must be done to protect workers.
It is vitality necessary that grie-
vances should be filed for every
fragrant abuse on arrangements
part-and these can be easily
found by every Steward who will
look for them.
Here Comes the u. E.! r.
