tons, Mr.. McMullen already has
begun to make plans for the CO.
ordination of the work of the asso-
citation, the Civilian Defense Com
mittee and AFRAID warden service.
He remarked his main objective was
to try to persuade the families in
each sector. through the sector
warden, to have more interest in
their block and in their neighbors.
Through this" he said, Il hope
they will develop an interest in the
community and have at least one
representative from each of the 81
sectors attending the Glover Park

He said he believes he will have
the full cooperation of the two
agencies, because of the support
promised to him by Mr. Hobart D.

The third resolution deals with
the proposed construction in the
District of 1000 units of -fabrf-
Gated houses for housing war work q
ers. The resolution considers only
those projects on public property
paid for by the District taxpayers.
Chairman Randolph previously
had announced that the proposed
construction of temporary housing
facilities in residential areas, which
would affect the value of residential
property, had been stopped by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. That referred par
ticularly TO revocation of author
lty to the Alley Dwelling Authority
for erection Of a housing units
along the Fort drive.
The Federation's resolution on
this subject strongly protests the
building of fabricated housing
units on public land along Fort
drive, or other public park ground
on the ground that such construc-
ton will do irreparable damage to
District citizens, who already are
engaged in war work, and that con-
struction of substandard housing
units will tend to break down the
very morale which is so badly need
ed at this time"

the fact that the Budget Bureau is
now considering a proposed zoning
law which would transfer zoning

Hits at Secrecy.
The resolution says we abhor
such secretive procedure in con-
nection with proposed legislation of
this character which has for its OBJ
ject the control over the promotion
of health, safety, morals, conven-
ience, order, prosperity and general
welfare of the citizens of the Dis
trict with respect to the regulation
of property and the uses thereof by
private citizens"
The third resolution deals with
Il norder to avoid confusion and to
protect the welfare of citizens re-
siding in the District against any
unnecessary or improvident acquisi-
tions of property for war purposes,
that any institution made the sub
ject of acquisition by Federal au-
thorities will be returned to its
original use after the duration with
as little cost as possible to the tax
payer, and with as little deteriora-
ton in condition and character of
the property as possible"

do not tell us If America has been
informed of our whereabouts, so

aviator from Bamako brought us
some English books to read He

June Sit. Kelley: Every one
knows now that we are Americans.
The French and the native alike
hate the British to such an extent
that all British soldiers who fall
into the hands of the French are
held as prisoners of war for the
duration.
June 6-Lt. Kelley: A few days ago
we got word we are leaving Bamako
by truck caravan for Gao.
1t. Goldsmith: 1t takes week to
prepare for the trip, due mainly to
the fact that they have no fuel in
Africa for truck caravans and have
to use kind of peanut oil for their
Diesel engines.

same as Sunday in the States. :.

drive by truck to Gao. 1t is right on

have had it. too.
June Sit. Goldsmith: Our six
guards have been doubled and kept
around us constantly. I hear it's
because Greek in Bamako wanted
to help us to escape, but We don't
know anything about 1t. We've been
writing more letters. -.

OF the incident at the cafe the other
night we have been given a new
lieutenant to take charge, young
officer named Jean BONNER. He
speaks a little English, but not very

gave us two small monkeys and
they have been entertaining.
May 30-Lt. Goldsmith: The
food started off pretty well. but it
is steadily getting worse. It is cold
and often raw, tough meat and
stale bread.
May Silt. Goldsmith: I have
had dysentry twice and have suf-
fered with cramps, severe headaches,
fever cold sweats. took pills and
got over most of it, but it has left

June Lit. Young: Well, here
it is Monday and no idea yet of
what will happen next. The British
have Dakar blockaded and it is
thought they may take Bamako by
air. Noticed this morning that the
streets are being decorated and a
reviewing stand being built for a
general who is coming to town.
We await orders from Vichy as
to where we will 60 next. How
wish We would move just for the
sake Of action. There is nothing
to do. We are like six lost men.
