Moscow Writer Sees Yank
Advance as Foe Shifts

MOSCOW Jan. 26 - up -
The Russian journalist, Ilya En-
renburg. quoting dispatches to
the effect that fewer Germans
were on the western front than
previously, wrote in Red Star
today:
ut is possible that after such
a move, the Americans and
British will begin to move to the
Ruhr, to Cologne, to Frankfurt.
"By the way. there are two
Frankfurts in Germany. One is
on the River Oder, the other Is
on the River Main. If we capture
the one on the Oder, it Is quite
plausible that our allies will de-
eide to take the other one"
Ehrenburg said Hitler was so
busy mobilizing civilians, that
he has put his former ambas-
sador to Hungary, Won Jagow,
into uniform and sent him to the
front as a private.

Anti Hitler
Movement Grows

PARIS, Jan. 26 - (P) Ger
man exiles and refugees In
France, including former Army
officers, are carrying on an ac-
tive anti-Hitlerian resistance
movement involving dangerous
collaboration with members OF
the German underground.
Seven million propaganda
leaflets have been introduced
into Germany by one group OF
determined young men IN
France. Just how il was done or
who did it must remain secret
at present. But the fact is that
two dozen ardent anti-NaziS
risk their lives constantly in
passing hand bills, news sheets
and appeals into German terri
tory.

Leaflets circulated among
German troops acquaint them
with conditions at home. des-

cities are being flattened while
the Nazi armies carry on their
hopeless fight, and recall POM

times.

Immediately after the Allied land

southern France redoubled efforts to
sabotage and harass Germans. In
Limoges, the commander Of the Ger
man "Der fuehrer" panEer division
decided to do something which he
hoped would stop this resistance
once and for all.
Accordingly on June 10 n column
of German troops swooped down on
the small city of Oradour-sur-Glane
rounded up and killed every man,
woman and child there and then
burned the town to the ground. The

He was the talk of the country for

dollar devaluation. Acheson insisted 1t

Naturally he had to resign, but he says
the President "forgave" him in 194l.
F. D. r. appointed him an Assistant

bers of his family must have had a
large part in its selection. for at this
time the Blairs were the largest prop
erty owners around there, and Of course,
the most interested.
Indeed, as late as 1878, there were few
other residents in this vicinity. Those
living to the east of the Washington
and Brookeville turnpike, now Georgia
avenue, just beyond the District line,
were Samuel Jones, Thomas Jones, Mrs.
Mary Blair, widow of James Blair, who
gave her home and grounds, now
Jessup-Blair Park, to the State of Mary
land; Perry Collins, William Talbot,
Washington Bonifant, Henry Notion,
Charles Steuart, William H. Thompson,
Capt johnson, John c. Wilson, josiah
Harding, R. w. Burche and Thomas N
Riley and the Sligo M. E. Church and
Grace Episcopal Church.
Early Residents
To the west of the turnpike, now
Georgia avenue, was the home of Ad-
miral and Mrs. S. P. Lee, who resided
in the old Blair house. subsequently
inherited by the late Senator Blair Lee;
also the homes of Montgomery Blair,
J. L. Dorsey, the Eagle Inn, A. L.
'Graeves, E. G. Cissel, N. H. Holcomb,
Joseph S. Childs, Rev. J. B. Everitt, then
occupying the Episcopal parsonage;
Mount Zion NJ E. Church, Thomas B.
Cissel, S. Lytton and Mr.. Wingate.
To the west, also, at little later date,
was Alton, the estate of Crosby S.
Moves, where the editor of The Star
often enjoyed entertaining the Associa-
ton of the Oldest Inhabitants. The
Noyes farm was some distance from the
railroad station and during the summer
time the noted editor and his sons were
met at the station by the family "wag-
onette,'' when returning from The Star
Office.
The home of the senior Mr. Blair,
editor of the Globe, still stands as
reminder of the beautiful past. 1t
was in 1842 that he built his home
in this neighborhood and gave it the
name Silver Spring, having previously
bought a large area of ground in this
vicinity, which he added to from time
to time, until it reached about 1000
acres.
The pioneer Mr.. Blair came to Wash
ington in 1880 at the invitation of
President Jackson, who was strongly
opposed to disunion. The President
wanted Mr.. Blair to come here and
help him establish newspaper to
defend and explain the policies OF
his administration. The result was the
starting OF the Globe. which became
power in politics and made fortune
for it's early owners and editors.
The founding Of Silver Spring by
the senior Blair is Interestingly told by
Maj. Gist Blair in the records OF the
Columbia Historical Society, where he
says:
My grandfather, who had been
brought from Kentucky by Andrew
jackson, President of the United States
soon after his election, rode into its
delightful wilds on his horse Selim
and discovered the beautiful. sparkling
