KATMAl NATIONAL MONUMENT

A proposal to allow commercial fishing and taking of clans in the Katmai National Monument has been advanced by Delegate Bart lett to the National Park Service upon representations made from Alaska.
 The government has done very little with Katmai National Mon ument since its creation, and it seems to me clear and beyond question that at this moment in history when we are straining all our energies to get food across to

WHAT DOES RUSSIA WANT.
(NeW York Times)


 The world has been startled by reports of additional Russian troop movements in Iran in violation of treaty obligations These reports are still indefinite, but they substantial enough to prompt Government to send urgent inquiry to Moscow concerning their curacy and the purpose of such movements if they taking place.
 The reports at moment when all of the official Russian agencies of information and opinion gagged in propaganda campaign picturng Russia being encirced by hostile and war-breeding monop oily capitalism" This campaign is reaching ap- parent climax in strong protestatons that Russia will not yield to anyone anything but will continue on her way without turning aside Yet the sole argument that through the whole propaganda is that Russia must have security, that she must secure all her from tiers and that the only purpose is defense against att tack
 The rest of the world well sympathize with the desire for security by country which has been in- vaded twice within generation. But the Russian in-

THE BLINDFOLDED CHRIST
Luke 22:64

The guilt of making Christ suffer is not to be placed upon the people of His time only We also to blame 'Scarcely for righteous would one die" In the betrayers kiss sin manifest Our guilty hands scourged and beat Him Our hate spit upon Him. The anger of conscience scared by sin pressed the of thorns down heavily upon His head Our contempt for righteousness drove rough iron through His hands. Then too, have we blndfolded Blessed Savors face? And your niquties have separated between you and your God The reason today afraid to face Christ and His truth is because of sin Many attempts being made to hide from the face of God What essness And what towards! Afraid to let the piercing eyes Jesus search the Wckedness that holds ''Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds evil" Take away the blindfold of unbelief and doubt and let Jesus look into the windows of souls.
 Turn your eyes upon Jesus
 Look full in His wonderful face
 And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
 In the light of His glory and grace.

BOSTON, Mar. l1.-German med

Writing in the New England Jour-
nal Of Medicine, the colonel de-
scribed how supposedly outstanding

"It Is now apparent" he asserted
that the myth Of German supe-
riority in the medical profession Is

to be in other forms OF German

This deterioration has been due
in part to the curtailments resulting

He said that a visit to clinics oi
professors of medicine In three
prominent German medical schools
indicated that:
Although the basic principles OF
good surgery appeared to be thor
oughly understood, 1t was evident
that many practices were years be-
hind the times.
"Penicilnin had never been made

THE surgeons used vitamin prep

confidence in this form of therapy
Is did the internists.
There was no evidence OF the use
OF plasma or any type of amino-acid
preparations for the intravenous

There was little evidence that

The hope during the last several
years of Mr.. and Mrs Joseph L.
Bockovac to get rid of their home
may be realized this week if, the
President signs a bill passed by the
House yesterday, authorizing pur-
chase of their property at 1879 Ches-
apeake street S.W.
Mr.. Bockovac, retired Navy
Yard employe. has been appealing
to Congress for more than six years
for Federal purchase of his home,
which is located directly in the path
of main southwark runway at
Boiling Field.
The house is situated atop hill
directly south of the f1eld-and high
enough so planes using the runway
nearly Craze the Bockovac housetop.
Aside from the danger of a plane
crash, Mr.. Bockovac complained his
wife had been nearly hit by objects
dropped from passing aircraft and
the plaster in the house has been
shaken loose by vibrations from the
planes.
Narrowly Missed by Weight.
Mrs. Bockovac wept yesterday as
she told of nearly being hit by a
5-pound weight from a trailing
antenna that had dropped in the
back yard.
Mr.. Bockovac explained he had
found his wife lying unconscious in
the yard on his return from work
one evening in October, 1912, where
she had tainted when she heard the
Weighty metal object hit the ground
about foot from where she stood.
The weight had imbedded itself IS

He also exhibited a heavy flyers

Provide Funds for
Symphony Orchestra

DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor of
the National Symphony Orchestra,
has returned from his South Ameri-
can tour with memories of a Won
derful trip among people whose
love of music leads them to erect
a statue of Bach in their public
park. But he also has a sharpened
awareness of how "pitifully behind
them the people of this country are
in their cultural development.
He talked yesterday at the Raleigh
Hotel of how Government financial
support has enabled Chile and Peru
and such smaller countries as Pan
anna and Guatemala to have SYM
phony orchestras which do not
depend on public subscription for
their existence, as the National
Symphony does. And, he said, the
South Americans have concert halls
that citizens here only dream about.
1--WE could catch up with these
countries who have so much more
than we have" he said, land as
our first step we should have a
department of fine arts in our Gov
ernment organization"
DR.. Kinder did not have a blue
print of the form the Government
backing should take.
But almost anything would be
better than the negation of the
arts we should now have" he said
emphatically.
Chile, for instance" he con-
tinued, "allots money to its musi-
clans, and if the congress thinks
they are spending it wrong, the
artists have to give a report. They
have been asked to account for the
money only two times in the last
eight years and both times the
congress was satisfied.
"We have such a long way to go,

Heretofore, the United States Ag-

school divisions, the Associated Press

No Appropriation Required.
The Federal funds for 1867 will
include $1,291,10 for the purchase
of food and $267 900 for equipment.
Education Department officials said
that requirements for matching
funds are more than met on the local
level and no State appropriation is
required for this purpose.

thorized DR.. Thomas G. Pullen,

cision after comforting with educa-
ton officials and Department OF

Government would aid the State
with a $4,000 annual grant fol

Hay Fever Sufferers
Given Hope for Relief
From Ragweed Killer

Washington hay fever sufferers
may look forward to a measure OF
relief from the ragweed menace
through use of sciences sensational
new weed killer, 2, 4-D, but not until
next year except for some spraying
in the parks.
Other cities, notably New York,
have announced programs of weed
control this summer extending even
to unimproved private property
where weeds thrive But, for the
time being, the District is continuing
to attempt to control weeds through
enforcement of the ordinance re-
quiring property owners to control
their own weeds and cutting weeds
on public property.
J. w. Batson, assistant superin-
tendent of trees and parkings, said
today the tree department had
ordered some of the weed killer this
year, but that it had not arrived in
time. The department has new
high pressure spray equipment for
trees, he added, leaving older equip
ment available for weed program.
Rely on Cutting Crews.
This year, he said, the tree agency
is relying on cutting crews armed
with scythes but plans are being
made to start spray control of weeds
early next year.
William A. Xanten. supervisor OF
city refuse, said the subject of weed
control would be taken up at the
next meeting of the Commissioners
Co-ordinating Committee on Clean
illness and Sanitation the end of
August. He added that the city
sewer department probably would be
able to help in spraying weeds, since
it has spray equipment now being
used to spread DDT in sewer catch
basins.
All District agencies agreed that
cost would not be problem in con-
Quoting spray program. Actually
it requires less labor than cutting
weeds and solutions of dichloro-
phenoxyacetic acid, q, ADS full
name) are not dlInculC or expensive
to prepare.
Uses Spray Extensively.
The Office. of National Capita
Parks, which has charge of the
Washington park system, was 6
pioneer user of 2, AID and is using il
extensively this year. The killer
which does not affect grass. actually
overstimulates the growth of broac
leaf plants causing death. 1t &C.
tually helps grass grow.
If 1t doesn't completely kill rag
week, park officials said today, i
will so stunt it that the plants pro
duction of pollen, which blows TO
miles and causes up to IS per cen
OF all hayfever cases, will be dras
tically curbed.

ITO give an idea of how close the
planes come" Mr.. Bockovac de-
clared, covers have been blown off
nv bed from the exhaust of the
planes as they go past the house.
Efforts to sell the home have been
futile because prospective buyers are
not interested when they find out
about the planes, Mr.. Bockovac said
He said he refused to sell on one
occasion when he learned buyers
planned to erect church on the
site.
Destination Unknown.
The family has owned the home
for 20 years, and the Bockovacs have
developed large flower and vegetable
gardens around the residence.
Its sad to think of moving out, "
Mr.. Bockovac said, but that house
could never be home under these
conditions" He said that he didn't
know where they would go if the bill
Is signed by the President, because
all we're thinking about is getting
out"
The bill as approved by Congress
authorizes the Secretary of War to
negotiate for the purchase. The
measure was introduced by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada. A
spokesman at the Senator's office
said no provision is planned to aid
the Bockovacs in finding new home
if the bill is signed, and that the
property would be condemned and a
price set by the Government.
Opposition to the bill has been
registered by the War Department
on the basis that "a precedent would
be set as basis of innumerable re-
quests for relief under similar cir
cumstances." Secretary of War
Patterson also declared that afford
ing such relief would cost many
millions of dollars" and would have
a very serious effect on the cost OF
airfield construction and operation
