The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
CIT. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON - The President
has had what Louie Howe used to
describe as "the old Dutch up
against General de Gaulle and the
Army's plan for using him IN the
liberation of France. For Two
months the plan lay on the Presi-
dents desk while he delayed in act
ing on it.
In January, this column reported
that General Eisenhower had COM
pletely revamped any earlier ideas
about de Gaulle, had found That
he was overwhelmingly popular in
side France and that, when the
second front invasion came, the Al
lied armies would get more support
inside France if it was known IN
advance that they were cooperating
100 percent with General de Gaulle.
Accordingly, plan was worked
out whereby immediate French
elections and other political matters
would be under de Gaulle's Com
mittee of National Liberation when
and if France was invaded.
This political set-up was espec-
tally pushed by the Army, which
didn't want General Eisenhower to
have to worry about political prob
lens as he did in North Africa. The
British also agreed, and even the
State Department, never enthusiast
tic about de Gaulle, concurred-
thanks largely to the go-getting
salesmanship of Undersecretary Ed
Stettinius. Furthermore, Admiral
Leahy, former Ambassador to Vichy,
who has always been unenthusias-
tic about de Gaulle, said that he
would interpose no objection.
But when the plan got to the
White House, it stuck. The Presi-
dent kept it for two months.
GRUDGE SINCE CASABLANCA
The President has given no very
clear explanation, but those who
were at Casablanca think they know
one of the answers. Ever since de
Gaulle stubbornly refused to get
together there with General Giraud,
the President has had personal
thumbs down on the Free French
leader. Roosevelt had proposed to
Churchill that de Gaulle be brought
to Casablanca, figuring that, in the
end, his persuasive charm could
bring the two Frenchmen together.
But de Gaulle remained obdur-
ate. Roosevelt even had a hard
time getting him to pose for a
photo with Giraud. 1t was one OF
the few times that the President
has not been able to melt visitor.
In addition to which, de Gaulle,
despite his high principles, is one OF
the most difficult Frenchmen any
one ever had to deal with. None
of this has been forgotten at the
White House.
So when the Army plan to CO.
operate with de Gaulle got stymied
on the Presidents desk, Secretary
of War Stimson and Acting Secre-
tary of State Stettinius came up to
the White House Entering the

SIum Work Costs
Planners End Session
On Drafting Legislation
For Own Reorganization
By NELSON NJ. SHEPARD

A provision requiring the District
to bear part of the cost of "blighted"
area postwar Improvements, as
recommended by the Budget Bu-
reau, was incorporated into amend
ments to the Urban Redevelopment
bill which Federal planning officials
said today will be cleared through
regular channels.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission also COM
pleted drafting legislation for its
own reorganization before ending a
two-day session late yesterday. The
final draft covers all recommended
tions of Budget Director Harold
Smith in his letter to President
Roosevelt outlining suggestions for
broadening the powers of the Com
mission.
The urban redevelopment amend
ments will be forwarded to the
Budget Bureau and District Com
missioners and if approved, will be
offered as an amendment to the
Capper-Randolph bill. Planning
officials said the reorganization bill
would be introduced when Congress
reconvenes.
Benefits Through Taxes.
Since the District is expected to
benefit in increased tax revenues
from the redevelopment of city
areas, the Planning Commission felt
the local Government should defray
some of the cost Of purchasing such
areas as are designed for improve
ments. Under the pending Capper-
Randolph bill the Federal Govern
ment would bear the full cost and
absorb the initial loss. Whatever
cost the District would assume
would be subject to negotiations.
Areas acquired by the land agency
set up in the bill would be sold to
the developers at less than cost, off,
cials explained, and by assuming a
part of this loss they claimed the
District Government would recover
over period of years in increased
tax revenues. That would follow,

Sister Kenny Method
|0f Polio Treatment

Sister Elizabeth Kenny of Mime
apolis, last night presented to rep
resentativeS of the medical and al
lied professions her new motion pic
ture to demonstrate her concept"
of the diagnosis and treatment of
infantile paralysis.
Supplementing the screen showing
at the Medical Society headquarters,
Sister Kenny in brief explanations
before and after the show, empha-
sized that to obtain the maximum
results 1t was necessary not only to
use hot packs on afflicted muscles
of the victims, but to understand
and believe in her theories and
practice as taught at the Kenny In
stitute at Minneapolis. Invitations
to the showing had been issued in
the name of DR.. George C. Rutland,
District health officer, who presided.
The picture, which ran for an
hour and 40 minutes, with sound
track by Sister Kenny. presented
numerous cases of both children and
adults under treatment. Some chill
dren were pictured from the on
slaught of the paralysis, at first
twisting and suffering in pain, then
being given the treatment by appli-
cation of hot packs, and manipula-
ton of the muscles by Sister Kenny
herself. Later they were shown in
condition which the nurse de-
scribed as completely recovered"
with no deformity, perfect backs
and normal arms and legs. Others
were partly recovered, SO they could
walk with some hesitation.
One man speaking on the sound
track testified he had been under
other treatment for 18 months be-
fore going to Sister Kenny and had
been told he'd never walk" He was
walking after her treatment and
said he was back on the job. She
said 80 per cent of all persons
treated at her institute had recov-
cred and there had been no real de-
formities.

Despite the fact that points avail

have actually been increased over
the values in effect at that time.
The meats are beef steaks, except

Prince Georges Jury
|Conyicts Fireman in
Staying Of Woman
HeinIe Says He Killed
Mrs. GIozer While Dozed
By Bullet Wound

Russell Heinle, 33-year- -old Stock
town (Pa0 railroad fireman, was
convicted at $3.50 am. today by a
Prince Georges County jury Of sec
ond-degree murder in the shooting
August S of a 38-year-old Cheverly
(Md) mother. The jury returned
its verdict after celebrating nearly
two hours.
As the trial continued into the
night before Judges Charles C. Mar
bury and John B. Gray, jr., in Cir
cult Court at Upper Marlboro,
Heinle took the stand in his own
defense to answer charges that he
shot Mrs. Evelyn M. Glazer at her
home at 6l26 Montrose drive,
Cheverly.
The railroad fireman testified that
he shot Mrs. Glazer while he was
dazed by bullet fired into his head
by the woman.
Called at Glazer Home.
Heinle told the jury that he had
gone to the Glazer home about 8
am. August 5 in response to a tele-
phone call. He said he carried with
him a .25-caliber pistol he had pur-
chased for a friend on a New Jersey
farm.
Heinle testified he and Mrs. Glazer
drank whisky until about 3 pm,
when the woman unwrapped the
package, thinking it was a gift to
her. He said as she picked UP the
gun 1t went off, the bullet striking
him in the head.
Heinle told the jury that he heard
the woman say, Il didn't mean to do
it." He said he felt like he was
floating, and then he heard another
shot. When he came to, he said, he
called Mrs. Glazer's 4-year-old
daughter, Georgette, and told her
to go next door to get neighbor.
Earlier Prince Georges County
Policeman Richard E. Pearson, Mrs.
Glazer's neighbor, told the court he
had been called to the scene by
the screams Of the Glazer child. He
said he found Mrs. Glazer lying
on the floor and that Heinle was on
the bed.
Mr.. Pearson testified that Heinle
told him he had decided to shoot
Mrs. Glazer the week before while
in Cape May. N. j., with him. Mr..
Pearson quoted Heinle as saying
he had reached this decision after
learning that "she had some one
else"
Will, Letter in Evidence.
States Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie
offered as evidence purported
last will, allegedly drawn by Heinle
before he went to the Glazer home,
and letter to san uncle, allegedly
written at the same time. Mr..
Bowie read this statement from the
letter: Il did this because she
double-crossed me. She spent nv
hard-earned money and she can't
get away with it."
Mrs. Glazer's husband. George
Glazer, Treasury Department en-
ploye. denied in his testimony that
bis wife had gone to Cape May with
Heinle. He told the jury that the
railroad man had continually pes
tered his wife, and had offered him
(Mr. Glazer) 5000 to grant Mrs.
Glazer divorce. He said his wife
had considered joining one of the
military services in order to escape
molestation by Heinle.
