Finland Wants Peace
On Pre-1939 Basis,
Premier Announces
~ the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 17.-Peace
sentiment in Finland was given q
strong boost today through an an
nouncement by Premier Edwin Lin
komies identifying himself As the
anonymous spokesman who was
quoted as saying September II that
his country wished to withdraw from
the war.
At that time Linkomies declared
Finland regretted being at war with
England and desired peace with
Russia If she could be assured Of
her pre-l939 independence and terri
torial status.
The Firms already have made in
formal peace overtures through the
United States and Britain, but there
has been no indication of q direct
approach to Russia, which has in
sisted that Finland take the first
step.
Rebuff to Germany.
The HelsinH correspondent Of the
Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet
reported that Linkomies foreign
policy declaration mirrored Fin
lands prevalent public opinion.
The Finnish rebuff to Germany
bore more significance in view Of the
fact that Linkomies also said in the
September II statement that Fin
land has but one years food re-
serves--a clear warning to his coun-
try to be prepared in case Germany
should cut OF Finland's supplies in
reprisal move.
Meanwhile, Germany still was
having trouble with another north
ern neighbor, Denmark.
Ultimatum to Danes.
Danish refugees reaching here
said yesterday that Germany has
informed the Danes they must re-
establish parliamentary govern
u1ent by September 20 or their
country would be made a Nazi pro-
tectorate.
The zultimatum obviously was a
German move to get rid Of the task
OF supervising civil and police func-
tions taken over under the martial
law decree Of August 20. Prime
Minister Erik de Scavenius and his
cabinet submitted their designations
when the Germans took over.

j. Maynard Magruder, who has
served as chairman of the Arlington
County Ration Board for the past
year, said today he will resign that
post, but will remain member OF
the board.
Mr.. Magruder said John E. De
Lashmutt, member of the board

the new chairman. He said the
change was in accordance with a
policy that the Craftsmanship should

members.
The price panel Of the Arlington
board. which examines price ceiling
violations and assists merchants in
rationing problems, warned, mean
while, that under general maximum
price regulations merchants must
retain all invoices on file in their
places of business. Failure to do
this is violation in itself, officials
said.
Members of the Arlington board
who began the move a month ago
to coordinate policies of the three
Northern Virginia rationing boards,
will meet tomorrow night in Alex
andria with board members and
executive secretaries of Alexandria
and Fairfax. Issuance of special

Commission Rebuffed
In Move for zoning j
Curb on Trade Groups
Is Put OFF in Attempt
To Revise Regulation to
'Soxe' Residential Areas

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has received a
temporary setback in its attempt to
revise, zoning regulations so as to
bar trade associations from locating
headquarters Offices on some of the
principle residential streets of
Washington under the alleged guise
of being "educational institutions.
The commission particularly has
Sixteenth street in mind, where
number of such headquarters have
been established in the last year or
two above Scott Circle.
Before the Board of Zoning Ad-
justment gradually broke down the
barriers by what the Federal plan
ners characterized as loose inter-
pretations," it was claimed the
original intent of the regulations
was to permit only bona fide edu-
cational institution s-such as
schools and colleges-to be estab-
lished in residential areas.
Hearing on Change Deferred.
At its last meeting the Planning
Commission forwarded to the Zon-
ing Commission proposed rephras-
ing of that section of the regulations
covering the point in question, sug-
gesting that hearings be held 1t
announced yesterday that the Zon-
ing Commission had replied that it
has decided not to advertise public
hearings on the proposed revision
until after the war" Planning
officials said one excuse offered was
the housing shortage in the Dis
trict.
It is not likely that the planning
group will let the matter rest, there.
Those officials contended that head
quarters Offices now are occupying
apartment houses and otheI build
ings which have been withdrawn by
such use for residential purpose.
They fear, particularly, that Six
teenth street will become overrun
by such headquarters.
Two striking examples of bona
flde" institutions now on Sixteenth
street are the National Geographic
Society and the Carnegie Institu-
tions, which are given over to
definite pursuits of an educational
and cultural nature. After studying
the situation, the Planning Com
mission proposed that the zoning
regulation covering educational in
stitutions be substituted by new
phraseology that would make its
intent absolutely clear.
Would Exclude Businesses.
The proposed revision defined
such activities as those of "a COL
lege, university, or a private school
having a curriculum equivalent to
that Of a public school, or non-profit
institutions of higher learning or
culture, devoted to the arts and
sciences" It would exclude such as
business or commercial organiz-
ations and associations, or Offices
or headquarters thereof, or Offices
of their agents.
The Planning Commission said
that loopholes In the regulations
provided by the manner in which
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
had loosely construed the meaning
of educational institutions, threaten
to ruin some residential streets.
Some Of these educational insti-
tutions," officials claimed, are head
quarters of trucking associations.
