Building Plans
Lunhum Announces
Reynolds Will Be
First Witness
By RUDOLPH KAUFMAN II

by hUDOLfn hAOf n MANN III
Chairman Lanham of the House
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee said last night that hearings
on the Federal Works Agency bill
to authorize more than 1914. .O00, ,00C
worth of Federal building construc-
ton throughout the country, $780,
900, 900 of ito in and near the Dis
trict, will open at 10:30 am. Wed
nesday.
Mr.. Lanham, who introduced the
bill Friday, said Public Buildings
Commissioner w. E. Reynolds will
be the first witness.
G.. S. Underwood, PBA supervis-
ing architect, said yesterday no de-
tailed plans and engineering studies
have been made for any of the
buildings except the first of two
proposed General Accounting Office
buildings, an excavation for which
already has been made in the block
bounded by G, H, Fourth and Fifth
streets NV.
Basic Plans Changed.
He and staff members of the Ma.
tional Capital Parks and Planning
Commission, which is charged with
fitting new buildings into the over
all plan for Washington, revealed
several changes In basic plans hith.
erto not made public.
The area now occupied by the
old Naval Hospital, which would fal
midway between the proposed new
War and Navy Departments, is be.
ing considered as a possible location
for a Franklin Delano Roosevelt
memorial and, in addition, may bs
the site of a planetarium and {
relatively small building to hous,
the headquarters of any joint de
partment of national defense which
might be authorized by Congress.
Again, there are alternate plan
for a new State Department in tn
block north of the present building
one which would require the en-
tire block for the building, and +,
second which would spare the his
lorlc Blair and Decatur Houses.
Additions to GAO Building.
Additions to the General Account
ing Office building already started
would be in the blocks fianking tn,
first building. All buildings woult
be connected by tunnels.
President Roosevelt wanted plan
for the Navy Department buildin,
to include a naval museum and 1
basin for historic ships. These, &C
cording to the latest plans. are no
included in the SAC. 500. 900 for a nev
building which would be author
lied by the bill.
A $4,000, 900 general office build
ing to house the FBI and othe
agencies may be placed on the nortf
or south side of Lincoln Park.
Mr.. Underwood said that unit
the bill is passed he could not pre-,
pare designs for the buildings and
hence, could merely discuss theil
location. ~ w
He said he did not know If they
would take the form of wing-typt
buildings, like the new Interior De.
partment or block-type buildings
Much more space, he said. could be
included in block type buildings fol
the same price than in wing-type
buildings, and, with modern light
ing and air conditioning, they could
be as comfortable.
He added, there is a psychological
effect to be considered.
Some people have to be able tc
see window or they don't feel right
about it," he said.

Earth Safe From Destruction
In Explosion of Atom Bombs

An explosion that could DESTROY
the earth is theoretically easy. This
earth shaker should be among the
elements that are plentiful, like iron,
silicon or aluminium. These are richly
sowed in the earth's crust. The
silicon, in the sands of the sea, is
closely packed for miles. Aluminium
is everywhere in clay.
But all these plentiful elements
belong to the middle range, where
the atomic cores have less energy.
There isn't even good idea as to
what might cause these plentiful
atoms to split, much less to explode
unless 1t Is a war secret.
The neutrons which explode atomic
bombs have no splitting effect on
the cores of iron, aluminium or
silicon. Nor on the cores Of the
atoms of the other plentiful elements.
Atom Rearranges Itself.
The neutron hits on the common
elements produce merely transmu-
tations. The cores of the common
atoms capture the neutrons by q
strong force of attraction. The CAP
ture gives the atoms an extra
particle. Thereupon the atom re-
aranges itself, emitting electrons or
other particles and becomes an atom
Of a different chemical element. This
change, however, does not give de-
structive or explosive qualities to
the newly formed atoms. These new
atoms merely become temporarily
radioactive, like radium.
The transmutations yield heat.
But this heat is too expensive so far
to be OF practical use. 1t is possible
that some day scientists may find
transmutations that produce eco
nomical heat for power. Even
though they accomplish that, they
still may be far from converting
common elements into atomic bomb
materials. Their best bullet, the
neutron, failed at that in the
laboratories, long before the war.

Toduy's War Story
Priority of Food Ration Cards
In Reverse in CzechosIovukiu

Czechs. Most of them are rather
prosperous farmers. There Is one
policy on which the present Czech
government is determined. These
Sudetenlanders must 60 back across
the German border and their land
will be confiscated. There will be
only about 100000 exceptions. These
are Sudeten Germans who proved
themselves unquestionably loyal to
the Czech republic during the past
seven years.
I'VE really are doing Germany a
great favor" one Czech official told
me. That country lost a lot of men
in the war. I understand they have
considerable rebuilding to be done
as result of bombings. Also I am
told there is a shortage of farm
labor with so many men in prisoner
or war camps. We propose to supply
Germany with some of this needed
labor-and all of it fine Aryan stock. !"
President Benes issued his first
proclamation on the state seizure of
the property of Germans, Hun
garians and traitors" on May 19 and
in the last two months much progress
has been made. Another decree pro-
vided for the trial by extraordinary
courts of "all persons who have
plotted against the republic, robbed
individuals, treated persons as slaves,
or caused the death of a citizen in
the exercise of German justice"
In cases with especially aggravat-
ing circumstances, crimes usually
punished with sentence of 20 years
to life will be punished with death"
Such crimes will include "the public
approval and defense of the enemy
government and the illegal actions
OF the invaders, expressed in the
press, on the wireless or in films
when such crime was committed
with the intention of undermining
the national consciousness of the
Czech or Slovak people"
In the words of Minister of Justice
Ripka: After all that has happened,
1t will not be an act of vengence,
but simple justice that the Germans
should leave our land. No German
can remain except those who can
produce proofs that they not only
opposed Hitler, which would be a
small matter. but that they really
worked for the Czechoslovak Re-
public"

Todoy's War Story
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,


PRAGUE-For seven years every
body in Czechoslovakia had ration
card issued by the Germans.
There were three kinds of ration
cards-one stamped "Deutsch," one
"Czech," and one Jude" The
holder of the first type Jared very
well indeed. She always went to
the head of any waiting line at a
food store. Holders of the Czech
cards waited in line and had their
choice, in very limited amounts, OF
what was left. Holders of the Jude
cards-as long as any of them were
left alive-had last place in the line
and were rigidly limited in their
purchases from the small amounts
left over These cards were not
good in restaurants.
Everybody still has ration card
In Czechoslovakia. Food remains
lamentably scarce. There is little
hope for improvement, and then
only to limited degree, until the
harvest which promises to be excel
lent. But the order of priority of
the cards has been reversed. Now
a "Deutsch" card entities the holder,
who must stand last in line, to ex-
actly what one used to get with a
Jude" card. That is, Germans get
exactly what they used to allow Jews
This is an official government policy
Some have protested that the ration
is altogether insufficient. The OBJ
vious answer is that they apparently
did not think it insufficient when
they allotted it themselves and did
not have to live on it.
have never seen such intense
hatred anywhere as the hatred of
the German in Czechoslovakia-
especially of the German who is
native of the republic. This hate is
a blazing fire. 1t is shared by every
man, woman and child and there
seems to be no variation in the heat
of the flame. Everything German
is damned.
The greatest hatred is for the
Sudeten Germans. There are ap-
proximately 100000. They can be,
when they are the underdogs, rather
charming, ingratiating people.
American soldiers are likely to be
deceived by their wiles and prefer
them to the honest, plain-spoken

corridor.
1.-THE whole place was just
big arsenal. There were hun
dreds of rocket guns, bazookss,
rifles and machineguns lying
around. On the second floor /
went through several steel doors
into a bomb proof chamber of
several rooms which must have
been their headquarters.
I'm one room an officer bent
over a table, and at first !
thought he had fallen asleep In
his chair. Then / saw a pistol In
his hand, and bullet hole
through his head. He was dead.
"There was half empty
bottle on the table top. In the
next room two Jerry officers
were sprawled dead in chairs
facing each other across the
table. There were some empty
bottles and some food on the
table, too. One man held a pistol
and there was a machine pistol
beside the other officer.
"You could see what had
happened. They ate and got
drunk together, and then each
pointed his gun at the others
head, and they pulled the trig-
gers at the same time in q sui
eide pact"
Climbing to the third floor
by stairways from which the
SIS troops had been firing
through shattered windows at
them only an hour before, Fain
and the other puzzled infantry
men came across the body of
fourth SIS officer lying full
length and alone in his office
room.
He had a pretty high rank"
said Fain. He had taken poison
and must not have liked 1t very
we'll. His face was twisted and
his teeth were showing. He was
lying across the broken picture
of another officer.
'He went down a corridor and
in another office we found q
middle aged civilian and his
wife and daughter, all dead of
cyanide poisoning. He was sit
ting behind his desk and had
hunched over, face forward, on
it. His wife and daughter were
sitting in two easy chairs in
front Of the desk.
"From the way they looked
they must have sat there and
talked things over and decided
it was all over for him, and the
whole family might as well 60
out together. They just took
turns drinking poison and died,
one a. another"
Lisso still wore the Nazi en-
blem in his lapel. His wife wore
a women5S party emblem, and
their daughter-an attractive
blonde girl-had a Red Cross
nurse band on her ARM"
