ing about 500 families, are to bt
constructed on the site OF Wills
Rosa. now occupied by the Chill
dren's Museum, Sam Fig, who re.
Gently purchased the property, tole
the Brightwood Citizens Associa.
tion at Paul Junior High School last
night.
Mr.. Fig, who operates a liquor
store at 54l6 Georgia avenue NV.
said the present structure at 421;
Massachusetts avenue NV. will bt
torn down as soon as building ma.
terials and labor for the proposed
apartments are available.

init the museum to remain in its

ton taken by Commissioner John
Russell Young opposing the pur-
chase OF the property by the Dis
trict.

Found at Minturno
An Associated Press dispatch frt

An Associated Press dispatch from
the headquarters Of the Fifth Army
in italy tells Of the discovery of
rare books and manuscripts worth
millions of dollars" in a ruined
church in the front-line town of
Minturno. The explanation of how
such treasures came to be where
they were found by American troops
is that they were looted" from the
University Of Naples by Germans
intending to carry them to Rome.
What matters is that one hundred
and seventy cases of literary mate
rial we'll worth careful preserving
has fallen by the accident OF war
into the hands of two American
officers abundantly qualified to
appreciate such responsibility.
One Is Captain Allan J. Oppenheim
of San Francisco, printer and a
collector of rare books; the other,
Lieutenant Vincent H. Naramore of
Orewell, Vermont, a student of
classical languages from Syracuse
University. They were led to the
trove by Sergeant Calvin Timmons
of Dearborn, Michigan, who may not
be an authority" on cultural relics
Of the past but who nevertheless
understood the significance of the
collection when he laid eyes upon it.
Obviously the books and manu-
scripts have had a narrow escape.
The same observation also applies
to every other accumulation of
humanitys heirlooms in Europe and
much Of Asia. Among the loot at
Minturno, it is said, are many
original drawings" by Leonardo da
Vinci, the celebrated Italian painter,
sculptor, architect, musician, engi-
neer and natural philosopher of the
fifteenth century, perhaps the great
est "all-around" genius who ever
lived. Any scrap Of paper bearing
his autograph is priceless, not simply
because he was famous Italian
and created two Of the most notably
popular pictures extant-the Mona
Lisa" in the Louvre in Paris and 1.-The
Last Supper" in the Church of
Maria delle Grazie in Milan-but

Wants President to 'Sacrifice.'

w "Aie' SSiaSll ~ dCT1uCG.
To the Editor of The Star:
thousands Of our boys are sacrificing
their lives in foreign lands to eliminate
an outside threat to our form of gov
ernment. And yet, on the other hand,
there have been, and still appear to be,
thousands of people here at home who
are unwilling even to sacrifice so much
as meaningless political affiliation to
eliminate an inside threat to it,
The designers of our form of govern
ment strongly advised against more than
two terms for President. They clearly
let 1t be known that nonobseryance of
their advice would establish a potential
brldgehead for an inhereditabe grip to
be attained on the presidential office.
which, of course, would be nothing more
or less than a return to the form of
government our forefathers so bitterly
contested
No one better knows the soundness of
the designers advice than Mr.. Roosevelt,
Therefore, why doesn't he heed it by
substantiating his appeals for sacrifices
on the part OF the people to preserve our
form of government with the sacrificing
of fourth term for himself? Surely we
will have gained little by knocking down
relationships in other nations If we pave
the way for one In our own.

New Moscow Mission

II the Russian arranged visit by
Father Stanislaus Orlemanski to the
Soviet capital was intended as
propaganda stunt to win favor with
American Poles and Catholics it has
proved to have the boomerang quail
ties that could easily have been de-
tected by any one familiar with the
workings of public opinion in this
country.
Father Orlemanski Is the pastor
OF Our Lady of the Holy Rosary
Church Of Springfield, Mass. and is
not well known in the United States.
Yet the Soviet authorities, for rea-
sons which have not been made
clear, selected him to make this trip
TO MOSCOW, and upon his arrival
accorded him reception such as is
generally reserved only for the
worlds most prominent personali-
ties. Father Orlemanski reached
Moscow Tuesday and was received
by Foreign Commissar Molotoff the
following day. Friday night he was
summoned to conference with
Premier Stain at the Kremlin, and
on the following day Moscow's
official press gave prominent display
to reports of the meeting and posed
photographs of Stain, the priest
and the Foreign CommiSsar. The
State Department co-operated to
the extent of supplying Father Or
lemanski with a passport at the
request of the Soviets, but whether
he made the trip in a Russian plane
has not been disclosed.
1t Is gross understatement to say
that all of this is unusual 1t is, in
fact, extraordinary, and has led,
naturally enough, to considerable
speculation as to the underlying
motives. Father Orelmanski has
been quoted as telling reporters in
Moscow that he planned upon his
return to the United States to cam
paign for a democratic Poland
friendly to the Soviet Union. II

Congress Should Act

1ne decision OF q three-judge
Federal court that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has failed to
establish its jurisdiction to regulate
bus fares between points in the
District and Federal establishments
In nearby Virginia merely confirms
what has long been more or less
obvious-namely, that the real So
luton to this problem lies in spe-
cific congressional action.
After protracted hearing, the
ICC last January issued an order
intended to regularize fares charged
by three transportation companies
serving the Pentagon Building, the
Navy Annex, the Army Annex and
the airport. The commission itself
was sharply divided over the ques-
ton Of jurisdiction, and the order
which was finally handed down
failed to provide rates of fare that
were uniform among the several
carriers, although it did lower some
fares that were manifestly too high.
The principal question involved in
the appeal to the court was that of
jurisdiction. The ICC relied in the
main on what it deemed to be spe-
cific statutory authorization, but
also asserted blanket claim to
jurisdiction under the national
transportation policy" as defined by
Congress. 1t was unable to sustain
this position in the judicial pro-
ceeding, however, the court holding
that the commission lacked specific
statutory authorization to issue the
order, and that it had failed to
make any findings to support its
asserted claim to Jurisdiction under
the national transportation policy.
This brings the matter to a point
where two courses Of action are
possible. The commission might
move to reopen the case, with a
view to establishing proper founda-
ton for its blanket claim of juris-
diction. ~@T This is not promising,
however, since the courts, in con-
trolling decisions, have tended to
frown on invasion by the Federal
authority Of areas normally reserved
to the States for regulation. The
other course, and the more desirable
one in the circumstances surround
ing this local situation, would be
for Congress to enact appropriate
legislation to deal with a condition
which has developed almost entirely
as a result of Federal policy in
locating important establishments
In nearby Virginia and Maryland.
When Senator McCarran was
chairman Of the District Committee
he looked favorably upon legislation
which would invest the District of
Columbia with jurisdiction over this
matter OF bus regulation and possibly
other questions arising out OF the
Federal occupancy of the adjacent
areas. Congress presumably can
clear up the existing muddle in a
manner equitable to all concerned
II 1t wants to act, and the courts
decision should make it perfectly
evident that action ought to be
taken now.
