Commissioners Delay
JurisdictionaI RuIinq
On National Airport
Muson to Review
Legal and Engineering
Problems Involved

The District Commissioners today
deferred action on the question of
their jurisdiction over the new Ma
tional Airport, pending a thorough
study of the matter by the only
lawyer member of the commission,
Guy Mason.
Considering the problem for the
second time within three months.
through the airport terminals
liquor license application TO the Al
coholic Beverage Control Board, the
Commissioners said the jurisdic-
tional issue with the Commonwealth
of Virginia was too important to be
acted upon without full deliberation.
Commissioner Mason declared he
wanted to investigate both the en-
gineering and the legal problems
involved.
II want to study the three Su-
preme Court decisions and the
Boundary Commission reports on
the matter and go over the ground
carefully with District engineers, F"
Mr.. Mason explained.
Late in May the Commissioners
approved a finding by Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech that
all or a substantial part of the
airport is in the jurisdiction of the
District. But, after a hearing in
which Arlington County authorities
disputed Mr.. Keech's opinion, the
A. B. C. Board decided that suffi-
cient new evidence had been pre-
sented again to refer the question 10
the Commissioners. The board
pointed out that Mr.. Keech had not
stated specifically that the terminal
building itself was in District ter
ritory.
Meanwhile. Chairman McCarran
of the Senate District Committee
introduced in the Senate the Nichols
bill, pending in the House, to place
the airport entirely within District
boundaries.
Senator McCarran has indicated
he is not certain the pro-
posed bill would solve the problem,
since any action by Congress to fix
the boundary would have to be sub
mitted to the Virginia Legislature.

Imaginary Riot

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Battery
Park might have resembled a Flan-
ders field today If the New York
guards first taste of action hadnt t
been of the simulated variety.
With fixed bayonets and using the
newly-adopted flying-wedge tech
nique, $50 guardsmen of the 18th
Regiment needed only 40 minutes
last night to quell a riot there.
Actually, of course, there wasn't
any riot and in fact no disorder at
all except for the ousting of two hot
dog venders and an ice cream ped
dler from the area, but mythically
there was plenty.
The home defense unit. set up
less than year ago to replace the
federalized National Guard, waded
into an imaginary enemy force and
subdued 1t neatly.
How to break up mob and re-
store peace was what the Sd Bat
talon called its demonstration.

OCCUPIED NOT CONQUERED

(Christian Science Monitor)
One learns by way of Stockholm that
whatever the weather, King Christian of
Denmark rides daily on horseback
through the streets Of Copenhagen and
that Danes crowd the sidewalks to see
him go by. Such was his custom, weather
permitting, before the occupations the
difference now is that weather makes
no change in the daily ride or prevents
his subjects from gathering along the
way. The Kings ride has become a SYM
bol of Danish freedom.
AS for the invaders: Not a single
German of the occupation" writes a cor
respondent, "has succeeded in being adj
mitted to a private home. The art of
not seeing German soldiers, of seeming
to look through them has reached the
rank of masterpiece" German soldiers
who had been stationed in Poland and
Norway told him that the risk Of assas-
sination was easier to live with than the
universal frozen politeness of the Danes.
Naziism, as the salesman of a "new
order in Europe, has nowhere success

AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PRESIDENT
Mr.. Franklin D. Roosevelt,

Mr.. Franklin d. Roosevelt
The White House, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr.. Presidents:
You have publicly stated to your fell
loW-citizens not only that you hate war
but that American boys will not be sent
to fight IN foreign war. Yet every ac-
ton of the Administration since the be-
ginning Of the present conflict IN Europe
has been in the direction of orr involve
ment. Several members of your cabinet
have been vociferously demanding that
we give all aid to Britain even if it means
actual fighting. Your continued silence
implies your own approval.
Mr.. President, the American people call
upon you to make good on your promises
to them. Let us see that your declara-
tions were not, like those of Mr.. Willkie,
merely campaign. .oratory." The senti-
nent of most of the people of this COM
munlty seems to be strongly against our
entry into the war. Reports of various
unofficial polls indicate that the same
situation prevails throughout the ma
ton. Can You safeguard Democracy by
forcing the nation into war against
the desire and judgment of the people?
If so. what becomes of Democracy?
We are convinced, Mr. President, that
boys who are killed in fighting what
you characterize as "undeclared vars
Will be just as truly dead as though a
declaration of war had been made The
disastrous effect upon our way of life
Will also be just as great as if formal
state of war had been declared In my
judgment the damage would be even
greater for it would destroy the conf
dence of the people in the honesty, the
sincerity, the moral integrity of their
leadership.
If you believe that this is our war,
why do you not frankly and openly say
so, then ask the Congress for a declara-
tion of war, and give the American peo-
pie an opportunity to express their iudg-
ment after week or two of free and
open discussion? Do you not believe in
the American people? Or do you not,
in actually, believe in Democracy? We
shall be looking to your words, but even
more to your actions, to give us the an
sWers in the next few days and weeks.
Respectfully yours,
Walter A McC1nneUbap

AWAKENING THE PUBLIC
TO THE EMERGENCY?

The Office of Civilian Defense, here
after to be known throughout the ma
ton as the OCD, is grand idea. 1t will
give a lot of people the feeling that
they're helping out with the country
preparations. 1t will make defense a
personal matter. 1t will give every man,
woman and youth who wants to do some
thing a chance to do something.
Of course, it might seem bit far fetch
ed to be practicing in Jonesville, Ohio. for
instance-or even in Ell Centre, for that
matter - at extinguishing incendiary
bombs and evacuating cities. Particular
ly. it might seem far fetched to be doing
these things while labor union chleftans
in the metropolitan cities are still hold
ing up production on millions of dollars
worth of ships, guns, tanks, ammunition.
foodstuffs, clothing, airplanes, and every
other imaginable item needed by the arm
ed forces.
It might even seem bit ironic to call
out of bed for blackout practice man
in San Francisco, for instance, who that
day had paced up and down picket line
which refused to let others go to work
Oh defense orders.
But. then, America is a funny sort of
country. 1t is the sort of country where
our federal government in one breath
calls upon every civilian to do his utmost
for home defense, and in the next breath
discourages any attempt in congress or
elsewhere to curb the wave of strikes
and walkouts which can do more than
anything else 10 make home defense
impossible.
The Office of Civilian Defense has its
uses. Entirely aside from any connec-
ton with strikes and industrial sabotage,
it really can do much to organize the ma
ton for ar all-out defense effort. In
its program of keeping close watch on
skyrocketing prices, for one thing, it
should be of inestimable benefit. But we
are rather inclined to believe that the air
raid precautions the bridgehead guards,
and other similar activities, are more
window dressing than anything else.
Window dressing, with a purpose.
The purpose undoubtedly is TO increase
the awareness of the people in a time of
national crisis.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-05-21
WOULDN'T 1T BE BETTER
TO HEAR BLUNT FACTS?

We have no quarrel with the necessity
for bringing home to large segment OF
the American population the real ener-
gency now facing us. We favor any
means necessary to do so. But we believe
plain, hard hitting words from the Presi
dent of the United States should come
first
We do not believe any artificial stimuli
us should be used to force the people into
what would seem on the surface de-
mand that their President do something
he could protest he does not want to do.
We do not like to see any propaganda
tool used to make it seem that leader
ship comes from the people in taking
greater and greater strides toward war
Such tactics smack too much of paving
the way for political alibi We do not
like to see the people frightened into
making the demands which those in
leadership have already determined
should be made. We would rather see
a calm consideration of the problem.
with our national leaders stating facts
and trusting the people to arrive at the
proper decisions.
The Offices of Civilian Defense de-
serves big niche in the present day life
of the United States. 1t is vitality need
ed. Its creation is great forward step.
But let US not allow it to become lever
for creating artificial hysteria.
Whatever decisions we make, let us
make them with clear heads and calm
minds. 4
