The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we
must realize that there are
thousands Of traitors within
our ranks-men and women
who, having mortgaged their
own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anx-
lous to sell out our group for
mess of pottage. In myriads
Of instances they have al
ready done SO, Many Of these
beings are like moles which
burrow beneath the surface,
and they have by their perm
icious activities placed the
entire structure Of our rights
in peril. The vilest, cruelest,
most brutal, eraftiest, most
cold-bIooded outspoken en-
envy is far less dangerous
than the vile, crafty, sinking,
snake-like burrowing foe

side OF the avenue, Commissioner
Prescott said, and most of this land
already has been dedicated.
Planning experts, however, sug-
gest now that both sides should be
widened evenly and property own
ers on the west side are being con-
suited.
Plans provide for an 84-foot right
of way for about three-quarters of
mile. This would provide for a
34-foot roadway on either sidesof a
6-foot concrete platform, and 5-foot
| sidewalks. Later the right of way
would be widened to 100 feet to
provide an S-foot setback on each
side.
Commissioner Prescott said that
under the proposed plan several
small stores and residences may be
affected.
Definite plans, however, will be
formulated at meeting within the
next few days at which property
owners, representatives of the Be-
thesda Chamber of Commerce and
county and planning officials will

The District today is debt free

Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
told the Commissioners yesterday
that teh city, whose construction
program and personnel rosters were
crippled by the demands of war, in
the last five years has paid all out
standing obligations totaling $l6,-
775, ,356 and in addition salted away
$40 ,000, 900 in an investment fund
against postwar capital improve
ment program.
Furthermore, Mr.. Fowler told the
city heads, the early liquidations
saved the District interest payments
totaling $1,8l8,966.
The District went into the war
owing the Federal Government S10,-
207.175 in Public Works Admins
tration money advanced beginning
in 1898; s3,633 ,524 borrowed under
the Capper-C Cramton Act which au-
thorized SIG, ,000, 900 in 1880 to be adj
vanced to the city as needed for
purchase of park and playground
property; $4,000 borrowed under
the Blackout Act of 1941; $485, 5,058
borrowed from the Federal Works
Administration in Lanham Act de-

per- -Cramton funds are noninter-
est bearing.
The total principal repaid, Mr..
Fowler said in his report, was $16,-
225.757 with interest totaling $549,-
500.
While the city is clear of obli-
cations at the moment, the Cap
per- -Cramton fund has been only
about half spent and additional
money could be taken on from this
source If the need develops.
Although admitting the city was
now in excellent financial health,
District officials were not inclined
to be exuberant, pointing, but that
the settlement of the obligations
was possible only because Of war;
starved services in the District,
which still has some hundreds of
position vacancies and only one
building project-the Victory Bridge
across the Anacostia -about to get
to be exuberant, pointing out that
when all the vacancies are filled,
with the approved salary increase
and the vast program Of expansion
OF services and construction that
will be called for in pastwar Wash
ington at postwar costs for mate
rial, the picture may not be 50

IRumored D. T.. Move
TO Annex Portion Of
Montgomery Probed

Appointment of a subcommittee
to investigate reports of move
to annex part of the suburban area
of Montgomery County to the Dis
trict was announced last night by
State Senator Thomas E. Hampton,
chairman of the Caucus Committee
of the County United Democratic
Organization.
Senator Hampton also announced
appointment of a committee to work
with Albert E. Brault, recently ap-
pointed county public utility agent,
in an effort to obtain improved
public transportation facilities.
According to Senator Hampton,
the annexation proposal was re-
ported first at a meeting of the
Caucus Committee Thursday night.
He said no further information con-
corning such proposal could be
obtained then, although he had
heard the move was backed by some
members of the Washington Board
of Trade.
Knows Nothing of Move
Joseph c. McGarraghy, first vice
president of the trade body, said
he knew nothing of such a move
and had never heard it discussed
at any board meeting.
Senator Hampton asserted that
In his opinion, county residents af-
fected by such move would have
nothing to gain by it." In fact, he
pointed out, they would lose their
vote if annexed to the District.
The county Democratic party, it
was said, would stand to lose a size
able portion of its support if the
suburban area, which usually turns
in a Democratic majority in elec-
tions, is annexed to Washington.

cheering and waving citizens to the
White House.
The Presidents military and
naval aides took us to Mr.. Truman S
Office, and it was a great thrill and
privilege to see the Chief Executive
again. We first met at Fort Riley,
Kans., in the early 1930s and again
in Kansas City shortly after his
election to the United States Sen
ate. I sat down next to him in his
White House Office, and We talked
of those previous meetings for a
time and of many other things dear
TO both of us.
Then Mr.. Truman got UP and
rather casually said: Come on, gen.
eral, let's take walk in the garden.
Some photographers out there want
to get picture of us together
Gets Big Surprise.
We walked out to the beautiful
rear garden of the White House,
while the cameras clicked, and then
1 saw the President was leading me
to a battery of microphones. I was
momentarily afraid l was going to
have to make another speech.
But Mr.. Truman did the talking,
To my utter surprise, he drew a
paper from his pocket and began to
read aloud:
Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright,
commanding United States Army
forces in the Philippines. from
March IL to May 7, 1912, distin-
guished himself by intrepid and de-
termined leadership against greatly
superior enemy forces. At the re-
peated risk of life above and beyond
the cali of duty in his position !. y
I suddenly realized when heard
these magic words that this was the
citation for the Congressional Medal
of Honor, the ultimate goal OF every
American soldier. Y
a.. He frequented the firing line
Of his troops, where his presence
provided the example and incentive
that helped make the gallant efforts
Of these men possible.
THE final stand on beleaguered
Corregidor, for which he was in an
important measure personally re-
sponsible. commanded the admira-
ton of the Mathis Allies. 1t re-
flected the high morale of American
arms in the face of overwhelming
odds. His courage and resolution
were vitality needed inspiration to
the then sorely pressed freedom
loving peoples of the world"
Country's Highest Honor.
Mr.. Truman looked up from his
script, and an aide handed him the
Medal of Honor.
"And so it gives me more pleasure
than almost anything I've ever done
to present Gen. Wainwright with
the Congressional Medal of Honor
the highest honor this country can
bestow on a man." Mr.. Truman fin
ished.
And with that he fastened the
wonderful blue-ribboned medal
around my neck.
In the busy months that followed
before and after Gen. Marshall ar
ranged for me to go to Ashford
General Hospital at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, for rest, I went
through the most amazing recep-
tions-especially one in New York
where 100000 cheering Americans
| lined the parade route"
But nothing can supplant in my
mind that afternoon in the garder
of the White House, where every
dream of glory any man could have
was realized.
