RED CROSS DRIVE

Once the war is over the American Red Cross is not likely have any difficulty in securing funds for 8 long time to come. There five six million young men now overseas who will be this organiza- tion's devoted champions for long they live.
 These men have the Red Cross in action where it counts and understand at first hand it's meaning. They what has meant to their comrades struck down in battle. They know what it has done for battle weary men who down out of the front lines, exhausted in body and spirit, hungry for not only physical sustenance and but for the sus- tenance that from friendly cheer and recreation and the sight of hot doughnut.
 These men have come to know of these things and to depend upon them. It is not likely that many of them will ever forget the heroic efforts of the American Red Cross in this
 Meanwhile, let the home front not forget that our support is required to provide the means necessary for the Red Cross to carry on it's work Nothing that do will contribute more directly

Red Lights for Inflation
(New York Times

New York Times)
 Nothing could possibly be more mischievous at this time than the proposal of several members of Congress that the price of gold be raised to S56 an ounce Even the discussion of such proposal would undermine faith abroad in the integrity of the Amer ican dollar Among the greatest sufferers from any such move for further devaluaton, as w. Randolph Burgess President of the American Bankers Assocla- tion points out, would be the holders of war bonds
 Unfortunately the expansion in currency and in bank deposits that we have already made, and the huge deficit in the budget as the result of war nave confronted with condition in which it is necessary to lower the legal gold reserve requirement behind Federal Reserve deposits and notes. These legal reserves stand now where they have stood for many years at 40 per of gold for Federal Reserve notes and 35 per cent for deposits The proposal IS before Congress reduce the gold reserve requirement. to 25 per cent. It would seem advisable first of all, how ever for Congress to consider the proposal which MT Burgess has made on behalf of the American Bankers Association that the legal reserve requirements be lowered at this time to 30 rather than 70 per cent Thirty per cent he points out, is likely to take care of the situation for many months and if 1t then proves inadequate it will be because credit expansion has gone to point where Congressional reVlew may be once more desirable.
 MT. Burgess put forward two other proposals that ought to be adopted One is that if the use of Gov ernment securities for Federal Reserve notes made permanent proposed in the new bil then at least the 1883 emergency power to issue Federal Reserve banknotes and the power to issue greenbacks under the Thomas Amendment of 1933 should be repealed in the same law. Mir Burgess other suggestion IS that every proposal for Government postwar spend- ing be scrutinized with great care because Govern ment spending is the chief cause of inflation.'
 The legal reserve requirement. like the legal national debt limit is in effect red light. We are the process of going through the old red lights ana uniting new ones in front of us instead. Meanwhile, though price and wage fixing and other regulations may be unavoidable, we should not forget that we have been suppressing by Government control not the nfationarY forces themselves but their danger signals

 RENT SCANDALS
 The OPA boast is that although commodity prices have not been held down as well as they'd like, OPA's rent control has really worked. The inside fact, however, is that for nearly two months OPA has had confidential report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics con- corning rent control which shows the violation of rent ceilings to be a near national scandal.
 The confidential report reveals that in Birmingham, Ala, 23 per cent of the rents in the city are not even registered as required by the rent control law In Laredo, Tex, and Seattle, Wash, g per cent of the rents are not registered, and of those registered IA per cent of Laredo tenants are paying more than the ceiling rent, while per cent of Seattle tenants pay more than the ceiling.
 Enforcement in such large cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago appears to be better than in the medium sized cities. Thirteen per cent of New York Citys rents are unregistered, but of those registered, the ceiling is being violated in only 3 per cent of the cases. Nineteen per cent of the homes in Norfolk, Va, are unregistered, and Is per cent in Haverhill, Mass, with 9 per cent of the Haverhill rents registered being above OPA ceilings.
 Landlords offering new rents are permitted to set their own prices and in many cases it is months before OPA gets around to inspect ing these premises and ruling upon what a fair rental should be. The delay is due to manpower shortage 1 (CopyrigHt la4o, oest Syndicate Inc.l

Commander in the Mediterranean, also disclosed that a total of 5o Nazi divisions were kept busy by the early fighting of the Allies Ill Italy and by Tito's Partisans Tn Yugoslavia.
 Wilson also disclosed for the first time the troubles Britain had in trying to deal with Gen. Mikhailo- witch, the right-wing Serb leader who was dumped by the Allies Tn favor of the leftist Tito. Wilson told how he had personally commanded Mikhailovitch to bomb the Salon. ika- Belgrade Railroad to prevent a Nazi retreat but that Mikhailo- witch had refused. Mikhailovitch even tried to prevent the rescue Of Allied fliers downed in Yugoslavla and they were only brought out with the aid of Gen. Bakers Air Force and special American OSS men Wilson revealed.
 The British Field Marshal de- tended himself against the charges that he was responsible for the low bread rations in liberated Italy explaining that the British were the first to protest the low ration in Italy and that he personally had written Washington asking that the 200-gram rations for dockworkers be increased. Wilson even stated that he had personally authorized the increase without even hearing from Washington.
 The farmers of Italy, Wilson told friends, are largely responsible for Italy's economic plight. Ht charged they withhold food from markets and sell it on the black market because of bigger profits and the doubtful value of Italian money.
 RUSSIANS KEPT HANDS OFF
 Throughout his talk, Field Mar shal Wilson consistently maintained the Russians had not interferet either in Yugoslavia or Greece, bu had played it straight all the wa, through.
 One important omission Wilson made, however, was a hushed-ul incident which took place in Ital, last June 26 when Red Arm. Military Mission stationed at ; British controlled military field a Bari, took off without permission flew straight to a secret airfielt in Greece, landing at FAM head quarters there.
 This was the first Russian mis sion to land in Greece before it liberation from the Nazis. A fab bergasted British junior officer Wa at the airport when the mission landed. The Russians conducted systematic study of the entire EAN organization, then left to report t Moscow.

Villa Rosa Sponsors
Wait Ruling in House
In Custer Battle

Sponsors of the Children's Museum
today awaited verdict from a con-
gressional group on their last-ditch
night to prevent its custer from the
Villa Rosa mansion on Massachu-
setts avenue, which more than a
year ago was sold by the Govern
ment for private development.
Equally hopefully. Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Fig, who bought the prop
erty as a site for future construc-
tion of one or two apartment houses,
awaited another rejection of the
museums proposal that the District
repurchase the property so as to
continue the museums operation
there.
The issue now is before the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the House
District Committee, headed by Rep
resentative Murphy, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, who held a night ses-
sion last night to conclude hearings
on the bill. Mr.. Murphy promised
his group would render a prompt
report to the full District Committee.
lcdT- -Ulu SdmpdAgH.
Petitions for District purchase of
the property were considered about
a year ago by the District sub
committees of both the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees
and rejected because the project
had not been authorized by legis-
lation. Two months ago the cam
paign was taken before the Tyd-
ings subcommitte of the Senate
District Committee, only to be
pigeon-holed primarily because the
bill proposed the condemnation of
private property for the use of
a non-Governmental agency.
Miss Matilda Young, director, and
numerous other sponsors of the
museum last night waged their
campaign before the Murphy sub
committee of the House District
Committee. Among museum wit
nesses was Maj. Harold j. Coolidge,
U. S. A., recently returned from
overseas duty, who in civilian life
is trustee of the Children's s
Museum of Boston and the New
England Museum of Natural History
and a Harvard University zoologist
and anthropologist. who lauded the
services afforded at the Children's
Museum here.
He and Miss Young brought out
that the plan to have the District
buy the Fig property has been in
dorsed by II citizens associations,
10 educational groups. church
organizations. settlement houses, 9
other District civic groups and
spokesmen for 40 museums in 10
different States.
Represents Owners.
On the other side, Louis Often
berg, representing the present
owners of Villa Rosa, contended that
the bill was unconstitutional be-
cause it would take property from
private owners not for a public
use," but to be used by private
organization.
He revealed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Fig had offered to pay $1,000
Evening star., 1945-05-17

toward moving" expenses Of the
museum, as well as waving claims
for the museums use of the prop
erty in the past year, If the museum
would sign declaration surrender
ing possession.
Since this offer was rejected, Mr..
Gutenberg said, the owners have
notified the museum to vacate the
property by May 81. He said evic-
ton proceedings would be instituted
/ if necessary.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Fig con-
tracted to pay 100000 for the prop
erty, when it was sold by Defense
Homes Corp, which obtained it in
a trade with the District govern
ment, Mr.. Gutenberg asserted the
owners would place its .valus to-
day at "at least" 100000 because
Evening star., 1945-05-17

their development plans had re-
vealed its maximum value.
The hearing brought out also that
the museum bill was opposed by
the District Commissioners, the
Recreation Board. the Federation
of Citizens Associations, Park and
Planning Commission and school
authorities.

Busy With Many Projects
Bv Betty GrOve Smith.

The first project of the Red
Cross Canteen Corps Of the Airing
ton County Chapter is still one OF
the most popular. 1t is the Sunday
morning breakfasts for servicemen
on furlough who are spending the
night at the Army Recreation Camp
at the Memorial Bridge. Regu-
larly since the corps began two
years ago its members have served
breakfasts of fruit juice, doughnuts,
coffee and milk. At first there were
about so men every Sunday and
now the average is between 800 and
900.
This is just one example of how
the Canteen Corps projects have
grown by leaps and bounds. Take
the Mobile Blood Donor Unit twice

Church. Here canteen workers
serve beverages and cookies and
fruit juices to the donors and give
luncheon to the Navy doctors and

Three attempts were made by

before ii was sent to the jury.
The first was a motion made by
Defense Attorney Adams just
prior to putting Mcleod on the
stand when he moved that testi-
mony OF Mrs. Tubbs be excluded
as unreasonable, inconceivable,
unbelievable and contrary to

timony of DR.. J. 7. Thompson,

excluded, adding that with the
balance OF the testimony the
court could not go to the jury

overruled.
Later in the case, Mr.. Adams
moved for a mistrial when the
Judge spoke privately to the dis
trict attorney in the presence of
the jury without a member Of
the defense being present and
the third attempt was a motion
for a directed verdict of not

defendant did not shoot Stoup
