ROBSON Halls BRITISH
LABOR VICTORY; Sees
new DEAL POSSIBLE

VEU Vial HVJJuOk6
NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (ANP)-In
a cablegram sent to Britain's new
premier, Clement R. Attlee, Paul
Robson, chairman of the Conci
on African Affairs, hailed the
sweeping election victory of the
British Labor party and it's leaders,
and declared that it represented a
defeat for imperialist and reaction
airy forces in all countries, opening
the way for positive action aimed at
the independence of colonial peo-
piles.
"We believe" the cable read,
"that the unmistakable democratic
expression of the British people in
the election represents reputation
of manner in which American, Brit
ish French and other reactionary
imperialist interests were safe
guarded by failure of the San Fran
cisco conference to give real guar
antees for colonial advancement
and independence.
British Labor victory provides
new framework for reopening colo
nial question and formulation of
genuine program for insurance Sc
curity and independence of colonial
peoples throughout the world"
Paul Robson, who has had long
and close contact with British
workers and has repeatedly empha-
sized the fact that they are the sup
porters of the colonial peoples
struggle for freedom, sees the cleo
results as the confirmation of this
tion results as the confirmation of
this view. There have been various
expressions of British labor and 9TH
er progressive organizations in sup
port of colonial policy radically
different from that of Churchill,
Cranborne, Amery, and other Tory
leaders. These progressive policies,
officers of the Council on African
Affairs pointed out, now have the
possibility of being put into prac-
tice.
1t was pointed out that although
questions of foreign and colonial
policy did not occupy as large a
place in the campaign as did do
mestic issues, the election results,
nevertheless, show an overwhelm-
ing public support for liberal and
progressive action in all spheres of
government policy. The leaders of
African and Indian opinion recog-
nize this and have already regis
tered their satisfaction in the cleo
ton Of a British Labor government
as mandate for the universal full
filment of our democratic war aims,

Grew Denies Plan 10 Ask
Huge Loan for Britain

The United States should give
Great Britain reasonable" finan-
cial assistance, but the administra-
ton has no present plans to ask
congressional approval Of a huge
loan to the British, Acting Secre-
tary Of State Grew said in a letter
to Representative Celler, Democrat,
of New York, which was made pub
lie last night.
Denying reports Of plans involv-
ing credit of $1,000, 900 900 to S.
000, 600, 900 to the British, Mr.. Grew
said serious consideration should
be given to any request the British
might make for credit on q proper
scale and appropriate terms"
He added that any such credit
should be accompanied by "satis-
factory arrangements with respect
to timely relaxation of the restric-
tive financial and trade practices
which have grown up Of necessity
during the war"

Hay Fever Authority
Sees Bad Season if
DRY Weather Returns

Hay fever sufferers may have one
of the worst snif1les and sneeze
seasons in recent years if rainy
weather stops. but If it continues
they may suffer comparatively little,
in the opinion of DR.. Harry S.
Bernton, who Is recognized expert
on hay fever
DR.. Bernton said today that giant
and ordinary varieties Of ragweed,
which broadcast most of the offen-
sive pollens in the Washington area,
are just coming into bloom. How
soon they will start spreading the
invisible but troublesome protein in
pollen form depends entirely on the
weather, DR.. Bernton said.
He pointed out that heavy rain
fall thus far has made luxurious
weed crop and dry, warm days
would permit widespread distribu-
tion of the pollen. Conversely, con-
tinued rain would keep 1t washed
out of the air, he said.
Normal time for start of the hay
fever season in the Washington
area, DR.. Bernton said, is about
August 10.
Wartime manpower shortages, he
said, have precluded making pollen
counts here. DR.. Bernton discounted
their value, however. saying that in
the Middle West the counts FREE
quently run 20 to 80 times what
they do on the Atlantic seaboard
but that hay fever sufferers here
have just as bad q time as those
in the avier-pollenated areas.

Green Repeats Demand
That Glass Be Replaced
BY tn. Associated Press.

6y INT Associated Press.
HARRISONBURG, Va. Aug. O.
John Locke Green, Republican
treasurer of Arlington County, re-
iterated his demand in a radio ad-
dress over Station WSVA here today
that the seat of Senator Glass,
Democrat, of Virginia be declared
vacant
Mr.. Green, who filed a petition
with the Virginia Supreme Court
of Appeals for a writ of mandamus
to compel Gov. Darden to call an
election this November to fill the
Senator's seat, said the trainers of
the Federal Constitution provided
that there shall be two representa-
tives from each State and made it
mandatory.
Mr.. Green charged that Senator
Byrd, whom he termed as boss of
the Byrd machine" must have
known as early as September, 1912,
that Senator Glass would never
again attend the Senate. "Yet the
boss permitted and obviously ap-
proved Senator Glass reelection to
the Senate for six more years." Mr..
Green said.
Mr.. Green said that while Sem
ator Glass lives at the Mayflower
Hotel in Washington" drawing ap-
proximately $4,000 each year in
salary and emolumepts which he
does not need, thousands of under
paid and overworked school teach
ers work for nine months a year

Planners Sill
Back TeIevision
Tower al Hotel
Gen. Grant Reoffirms
Stond at Hearing
On N. B. c. Proposal

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today notified
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
that it had approved the construc-
ton Of a television tower by the
National Broadcasting Co. behind
the Wardman Park Hotel in 1941,
and that it saw no reason for chang
ing its opinion this year.
The statement was read at a
zoning hearing today, at which NBC
is seeking authorization to construct
a television tower at the site. The
original plans for television we're
sidetracked by the war.
The Board Of Zoning Adjustment
declined to postpone the hearing
on the NBC application, which had
been requested by the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association. The
association said it was opposed to
the television tower and that the
hearing should be held in the fall
because of the number of residents
in its area now out of the city.
Six Opponents Present.
The board asked for show OF
hands of the number of persons
who were opposed to the tower. Six
persons raised their hands and the
board ruled that there was a fair
percentage of opposition present to
have both sides of the question de-
bated before the board.
The planning commissions report
was signed by Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant,
Sd, chairman of the commission,
Gen. Grant said that while a 350-
foot tower would be conspicuous
along the skyline, it would be equal
V noticeable from commercial
property.
THE site in question has the
merit of being in a multi-family
neighborhood which obviously would
be less affected by such a use as
would single-family neighbor-
hood. The fact there are facilities
available within the hotel without
constructing an additional building)
to house the transmitter, and that
it is possible to provide the studios
in the part of the hotel which lies
in the commercial district add to
the merits of the site," Gen. Grant
said.
Expect Programs Soon.
Gustav Margraf, attorney for
NBC, opposed delay of the hearing
and said it was hoped If the tower
were permitted television could be
started by the end of the year. He
pointed out NBC already has con-
siderable amount of television
equipment and that the telephone
company expected to have cables
between New York and Washing
ton completed for television before
the end of this year.
Carleton Smith, manager Of
WRC, the NBC station, said the
station already had two transmit
ters and it was proposed to- ex-
change teleyision programs between
Washington and New York. He
depressed the hope the Federal
Communications Commission would
act shortly on MICS application for
a commercial television license.
