American U. Park Citizens
Ask for zoning Changes

Return to its prewar classification
as a residential restricted area was
proposed for Massachusetts avenue
between Maoomb street and Nebraska
avenue in a petition directed to the
Zoning Commission last night by
the American University Park Citi-
zens' Association.
Present classification of the block
as a residential area only, which
permits erection of apartment
houses, was obtained in 1912 by the
Defense Homes Corp to build apart
ments for 144 families of war
workers. This site, on which the
Children's Museum of Washington
Is located, was exchanged for por-
ton of the Mclean area so the COM
munity could have access to a school
and playground. The property then
was sold to a private realtor, who
bought it with the understanding
that an apartment might be erected.
Utilization of the site near Mich
OILS avenue and Chesapeake street
for public park, as recommended
by the Washington Highlands Citi-
zens' Association, was later Endorsed
by the association.
Officers for the new year, re-
elected unanimously, included Lloyd
Smell, serving his third term as pres
ident; P. j. Moynihan, vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Ora Visel, treasurer,
and Maurice E. Salisbury, secretary.
The meeting, conducted by Mr.
Nell, was held in Hurst Hall, Ameri-
can University.

A Thought for Today
End of the Honeymoon?

There is some reason to fear that our ideolooical honevmoon with Russia may be over, now that the war in Europe IS won. And the reason for that fear comes not directly from Moscow, but from a one-sided literary spat between Jacques Duclos. editor of the French magazine Gathers du CommuniSme, and Earl Brow der. head of the American Communist Political Association and editor of the Daily Worker. M Duclos recently wrote a lengthy attack on MT. Providers policy of cooperation with this government, his wartime toleratiOn of private enter prise, his condemnation of wartime strikes. espousal of national unity, and other backslidings from MarNsm when the Duclos article labeled "talse con- cepts'' and ''erroneOuS concluSlonS.' The New York World-Telegram published eX- cerpts from the article in translation and apparently forced the Daily Worker into printing the full Duclos text, together with an introduction by MT. BroWder. It was this introduction that was disturb ing MT. BroWder didn't even put on the gloves, let alone fight back. Rather ne was meek as Moses.
 He said the article demands tour re- spectful consideration" He spoke ot formulating "a clear perspective for the coming period of new storms" along lines laid down by M Duclos. He stated, Tt has been clear at all times that the end of She war in Europe would require fundamental review of all problems ot American MarXists" All of which seems rather ominous. It wouldn't seem so Ii this were just a dispute between two non-Russian Communist leaders. But Ii past history is criterion, M. DucloS attack and Mr. BroWder'S swift retreat are part of a policy originating in Mos COW. We devoutly hope that this assump- tion is wrong. American-SoVet friend ship is indispensable to world peace. And that friendship has been subjected to enough strain in the last month without the American Communists opening real breach with a return to the revolutionary and obstructionist tactics which they used before Germanys attack.
 It seems indisputable that the Moscow government has more to win by man. taining friendship with this country on political live-and-let-live basis than 1t has in permitting Mr. BroWder to resume the program which, before the war, was clearly MoscoW-inspired and which was the chief reason for Russias unpopular ity with the American people. The ma jority of Americans want to understand Russia and be friends with her. But we think that the majority of Americans are also coming to feel that little more show of understanding and friendllness on MoscoW's part would be welcome ana exceedingly helpful.

Housing

Not week passes but what the Gov ernment Administrators at Washington stress their emphasis on the need for ln- creased housing, the moment the war IS over In a recent statement it was said that "the housing field provides whole new industry for this country greater III size and importance than any other pre- vious industry" That is somewhat eXtrav- agant A Washington correspondent sug- geSts that the Government Adminlstra- tors who issued the statement may be passing their predictions on their own failures to find suitable living quarters in crowded, over-populated Washington.
 What are the soldiers going to do when they get back home? Will they return to their old trades and professions? Are they going back to the cities, and work m factories and offices? Or, are they going back to the villages and small towns, or will they heed the call of the land, and become planters and farmers?
 Who's going to furnish those 60 mil lion jobs? There were never that many before under the same definition applied to industrial, home and employment con- ditions. In fact most of this boosting for houses, jobs, etc, is about 90 per cent guess-work It's a great game. Try to do little guessing for yourself-it will help you to form your own opinions, and decisions.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-04
Try the Criminals

Under most civilized law, a person accused of crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. For that reason the rights of the accused are protected by an elaborate system of safeguards and delays which, though often abused, are retained to guard against miscarriage of justice
 And for the same reason it seems pointless to debate whether the Nazl criminals should be tried by ordinary judicial procedure, or to haggle unduly over the definition of war crime. These are not ordinary cases or ordinary crim- inals. There is no injustice in presum- ing such men as Goering and Doenitz guilty before trial.
 Goerings order for the obliteration of surrender Rotterdam, Doenitz's order for the slaughter of seamen who sur vived U-boat sinkings-these are blatant crimes in defiance of international agree ment that do not need the nicety of legal definition.
 It is time to end the debate and start the trials, before delay becomes sOftness and forgetfulness. Whatever the form of the tribunal, the purpose of the trials is to carry out the urgent need to remove the unWholeSome presence of some mOn- strouS criminals from the face Of the earth

have no aWareneSS. An occasional chat by an overworked official with a govern ment pSychiatriSt would make govern ment run more smoothly"
 At the risk of being called reactionary, we'd like to raise a couple of doubts. In the first place, we think that Judge Franks inSiStence on "government" pSychiatrists is wrong. When you put these specialists in the subconscious on the government payroll, their intrinsic ally intimate business would become the tax-paying public's business.
 A harassed Cabinet member couldn't sneak off to his own private adviser. No, he'd have to make his appointment with the governments cerebral sawbones in a government building on the govern ment's time, and probably face battery of the press as he emerged.
 What's the verdict, Mir Secretary" we can imagine brash young reporter asking. Did that dream you had about muddy water mean you've frustrated desire to support new power and lrrlga- ton project, or was the doctors inter pretation more Freudian and slnister?"
 And think of the opportunity for Scan- dal Let us suppose that Senator Blooper is having fight with Chairman DoakeS of the OPX.
 My neighbor's oldest son goes with the receptionist who works for MT. Doakes' psychiatrist," the Senator is telling a friend, "so I know what I'm talking about. Boy, what a case history that Doakes has got. Talk about psychoes! For instance, listen to this"
 Furthermore, Judge Frank admits that psychiatry is an art rather than an exact science Thus practitioners are bound to disagree. And it's highly pos sible that government psychiatrists, lined up as advisers on opposite sides Of an interagency feud, might start a learned professional quarrel of their own over the proper way to exercise a bureau cratic neuroSis.
 No, we can't agree with Judge Frank that a regiment of psychiatrists would flood Washington with sweetness, light and soothing syrup. Rather there turks in our mind the suspicion that some of the bureaucrats might drive the psychl- artists themselves little screwy

tors who have been sucking a fortune out of the ocean bed be- tween the California coast and the three-mile limit. Also raking in lush fortunes are his good friends. Standard Oil of California. It is reported that Pauley's take from submerged oil runs to around S30,000 a month.
 For several years, both Riddle and Secretary of the Interior Ickes have been wanting to crack down on this How of oil from what they consider federal lands. Riddle prepared suit back in 1889. But nothing happened Roosevelt couldn't get steamed up about it and oil company pres- sure was terrific. Ed Pauley at that time was not particularly high in Democratic party coun- cils. But other Californians were, and the State of California itself reaps a rich harvest from leasing this ocean shelf to private com panies.
 Jltob o1lCl l Cllio4l entered the White House Riddle placed before him the submerged oil controversy and recommended a lawsuit. The new President didn't hesitate He OK'd the move immediately.
 You'd better take some time
 to think it over.' the attorney general suggested. Its a deli- cate question. It might be good idea to talk 1t over with Ed Pauley."
 Truman did think it over. By this time Ed Pauley had become much more influential in the Democratic party than in 1889 and Truman was considerably indebted to him. However, Truman did not change his mind. He told Riddle to proceed with the suit. And though the attorney general is leaving the Cabinet, the suit for recovery of the submerged oil is going ahead anyway.
 NOTE: The potent array of oil oil lobbyists Riddle had to over come included: Howard K. Mar shall, former attorney for Stand

ard of California and for the Petroleum Administration for War: Welbourn Mayock, attorney for the Democratic National com mittee and for Ed Pauley; Oscar LaWler, former solicitor of the Interior Department and promin- ent California attorney; and Pauley himself. Sitting on the sidelines also was Ralph Davies, president of Standard, now Deputy PAW Administrator.
 UNREFORMED ARGENTINA
 The State Department would be the last to talk about it, but actually things aren't going too well with Argentina since sine was admitted to the United Nations.
 First obligation of one of the United Nations is to prosecute the war and do everything pos sibIe to help her allies. How ever, Argentina is doing just the opposite in regard to meat.
 Her meat contract with the British is now up for renewal. When Argentina was not in the United Nations, she sold her en- tire output of meat to the Bri- tish (through a lend-lease ar rangement whereby the USA supplied the cash). But now that Argentina is in the United Nations. she has got skittish about renewing the meat con- tract.
 NOTE-Some of the secret tes- timony given by Nelson Rockefel- Ter has now trickled out of the House Appropriation Committee. Testifying as to why his Latin American Cultural Relations Com mittee needed funds, Rockefeller hinted that the woods were full of Communists below the Rio Grande. Asked why Argentina was admitted to the United Ma tions, he replied that it was the most anti-Communist state in South America and was needed as spearhead against Russia.
