Recreation BUDGET

Inc conclusion of the war, it is
hoped, will now permit the appro-
prlation of the sum asked by the
District of Columbia Recreation De-
partment for the physical develop
ment of play areas in Washington.
In addition to wartime restric-
lions on normal city development,
bar to the physical development
OF play areas in Washington has
been the inability of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to complete the land pur-
chase program, which is the prime
prerequisite for the proposed system
of recreation areas.
In the past, it has been held that
the District should go slow" on
development until land purchases
are completed, especially since Con-
gress might be reluctant to appro-
pirate funds for land purchase if it
saw substantial funds being ex-
pended for physical development of
the grounds.
While this approach to the prob
lem of creating a suitable recrea-
ton system is not without merit, it
results in situation where young
people are forced to play on I'M
developed areas sometimes covered
with dense growths of trees and
bushes-fine for cops and robbers
and bird and plant study, but hardly
adequate for baseball, tennis, swim
ming and other outdoor pursuits.
Hence it is gratifying to see re-
quest for substantially increased
funds for physical development. and
it is hoped this sum will be allowed
to remain intact by the Commits
sioners and Congress.

Misickquutush

The red men passed along many
welcome gifts to the pale faces
when the latter came across the big
waters in their great white-sailed
canoes. Tobacco, maple strip, corn,
squashes and beans have become
essential parts of our economy. But
of them all. none equals succotash-
that superb dish made by combining
beans and kernels of corn. The
Indians name for it, misiskquatash,
means "the grains are whole"
One cheerfully admits there are
two PHILOSOPHERS regarding the
amalgamation of two good products.
One misguided but sincere group
believes that succotash should be
made of lima beans. There Is
nothing against lima beans as such.
They are a wholesome, straight
forward food. although it requires
an unconscionable amount of time
and effort to excavate the beans
from their tough, leathery pods.
The genuine, authentic, traditional
succotash, however, is made from
horticultural beans. A few icono-
elastic individualists insist on using
red kidney beans just before the
nuggets begin to turn hard. That is
an acceptable substitute
But the countryman knows his
succotash. He has tried the various
beans. and experience confirms the
conviction he held before expert
mentation. 1t is not prejudice; it is
simply belief in the fundamentals
For the quintessence of favor, the
beans and sweet corn should be
cooked in the morning and allowed
to cool. A couple of hours before
suppertime, a quart of beans, a
quart of cutoff corn kernels and a
quart of rich, creamy milk should
be blended and placed in a dish on
the back of a woodworking stove.
Let the mass come to heat very, very
slowly. Half an hour before supper,
place over front cover and stir up
the fire Then when man comes
through the woodshed with the milk
pals on his arm he catches the rich,
penetrating aroma of the flavorful,
nostril-tingling dish. Serve in a
soup plate. With piece or two of
johnny cake, a couple of pieces of
deep-dish apple pie and plenty of
cold milk, countryman can fare
we'll Succotash is one of the rea-
sons why fall is a good season of the
wear

DANGEROUS Omission

While the war criminal trials at
Nuremberg will consider evidence to
be presented against the Gestapo
and the SIS (Elite Guards as Grim
inal organizations, there is doubt
now that any such presentment will
be made against the German gen.
eral staff. There is curious incon-
sistency here which may prejudice
the attempt to make Of the war
criminal trials the basis for new
conceptions in international law. If
plotting and planning aggressive
warfare is crime-and under the
code adopted by the War Crimes
Commission it is-then the German
general staff is more guilty than
anybody else, for it has been at it
longer.
1t is true that there will be in
dividual members of the German
general staff tried as war criminals.
It is also true that every nation has
a general staff or a comparable mill
tary organization-and these organ
izations are not necessarily criminal.
But as it has been understood up
to this time, the thesis ably pre-
sented by Justice Jackson is that the
time has come to create the prece-
dent of punishment for the crime of
planning and conducting aggressive
warfare. The GeStapo and the SIS
troops were part of the whole
wicked plot by Hitler to make his
conquests. But so was the German
general staff, which found, in the
early Hitler movement. a method of
effecting it's own philosophy Unless
the German general staff is in
cluded as defendant organization,
the whole theory on which the trials
Is based is weakened.
Under the code signed by the four
powers in whose name the trials will
be conducted, members of an organ
ization convicted as criminal will
also be considered guilty and their
punishment will depend on individ-
ual conduct. Why does not the same
theory apply with reference to the
German general staff? Some of it's
individual members might be able to
present defense of personal con-
duct which would mitigate punish
n1ent But the same thing applies
in the case of the Gestapo or the
SIS, and to exempt the German gen.
eral staff from prosecution as an
organization, presumably on the
strength of arguments by profess
sional military men against that
procedure. is to invite cynicism to-
ward the whole undertaking which
thus far has been absent.
The same mentality which per-
mitted or directed the Gestapo and
the SIS was behind the German gen.
eral staff If there ever was GRIM
inal organization the German gen.
eral staff qualities in every sense.

as surely as the law Of gravitation
controls our outer world. At the
heart of the universe is a Spirit
which Is friendly. The religious man
calls 1t God and believes 1t is low
ing. Hence he trusts that Spirit to
give him all that belongs to him. If
that Spirit clothes the grass and
flowers and cares for the birds and
sheep, he is sure it will care for him.
Recall the words of John Burroughs
the great naturalist:
THE stars come nightly TO the sky;
The tidal wave comes to the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me"
AS a result of our unbelieving atti-
tude toward God, we try to live by
our wits. Said a young clergyman in
the university: What have we ever
gotten that we have not knocked
DOWN. Think Of teacher Of re-
ligion going to his work believing so
little in anything greater than his
own unaided human efforts! Bur-
roughs, the naturalist, knew better
than that
X
We Americans are intensely prac-
teal and demand that even religion
be practical But we blindlv delimit
the practical. Meditation on the
spiritual meaning of life also is prac-
teal. 1t gives US our bearings, per-
spective, direction. No man can even
make a safe journey unless he knows
where ne is going. If he starts in the
wrong direction, the farther he goes
the farther he gets from his goal.
Let no one in settled environment
ever say he has been cheated out of
anything that belongs to him. That
Is an evasion. Any one, through faith,
can discover the spiritual laws which
will bring him the opportunities he is
prepared for. He needs only to keep
his mind and heart receptive to the
truth and ask for understanding to
recognize it and courage to live by
1t. The promise is still good: Every
one that asketh receiveth, and he
that seeketh findeth, and to him that
knocketh 1t shall be opened"

tralized foreign intelligence service.
That is one reason why General Dom
ovan-who has been living with this
subject ever since he headed the old
Office of the Co-Ordinator of Informa-
ton, out of which OSS evolved-is rep
resented as believing that Congress

originating all kinds of data from all
sources and being the only Federal
agency permitted to engage in secret
operations abroad.
Under this suggested setup, according
to reliable account, the various Federal
departments would continue to have
their own intelligence units, but they
would have to call upon the proposed
new agency whenever their needs re-
quired secret work overseas. The agency,
acting under the President and with the
advice of an interdepartmental board,
would have no police powers whatever,
nor would it be allowed to function
clandestinely within this country. In
case of war or unlimited emergency, it
would be supervised by the Joint Chiefs
of Staff or some equivalent command,
and at all times its prime purpose would
be to serve the security of America and
to collect, integrate and interpret in
formation in the form OF studies calcu-
lated to guide our highest authorities
in formulating diplomatic and military
policies.

Conviction of

DENVER, Jan. 5. UP)-The
Tenth U. S. Circuit Court of APP
peals has affirmed the conviction
Of eight men and a woman who had
been found guilty of violating the
Mann Act in the practice of Polyg-
amy.
In upholding a decision of the
federal district court in Utah, the
circuit court said that congress had
the right to forbid the interstate
transportation of women and girls
for immoral purposes, even though
the persons committing such acts
committed them in furtherance of
religious beliefs.
All of those convicted were men,
bers of the so-called Fundamental
ist sect, which teaches that polyg-
amy is divinely-ordained institu-
ton.
Those whose convictions were up
held were Heber Kimball Cleveland,
David Brigham, Edna Christensen,
Theral r. Dockstader, l.. R. STUDIOS,
Follis Petty, Vergel Y. Jessop, Will
liam ChatWin and Charles F. Zit-
ting.
They had contended that the
federal courts cid not have juris-
diction over them because only the
states could regulate and control
marriages. This contention was de-
MED by the circuit court.
