Group Renews Plea
For Community House

Complaints against the District
Recreation Department for its fail
ure to obtain a community house
because of the danger of low-flying
planes were voiced last night by
the washington Highlands Citizens
Association.
The "buzzing OF planes over roof
tops. is no hazard, the association
told Harry G. English of the depart
ment, in asking for reconsideration.
& 1t all began early last summer
when Joseph L. Bochovac COM
planned to the War Department
that his home at 199 Chesapeake
street S.W. was in constant danger
of low-fying planes from Boiling
Field. Congress passed a bill au-
thorizing the War Department to
purchase the grounds. Deenling 1t
safe but of no military value, they
referred it to the various depart
ments in the Districts
The citizens association. realizing
its need for more adequate recrea-
ton facilities for children, asked
the Recreation Department to ac-
cept it for use as field house and
a meeting place for the various
groups in the area.
Mr.. English said that not only
the danger but the noise from the
planes would be a detriment. A

Greece Charges Aid
Given GuerriIIas by
Northern Neiehbors
By III. As,oeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. Dec. 5.
Greece charged today that the
whole guerrilla movement against
Greece is receiving substantial sup
port from the countries adjacent to
Greece's northern boundaries, and
particularly from Yugoslavia.
In 35-page document filed with
the United Nations Security Council
and made public today the Greek
government also linked Albania and
Bulgaria directly to the disorders
along the frontier and called on the
U. N. to order an "on-the-spot' in
vestigation.
Specific Charges Made.
The complaint charged specifical-
ly that:
1. Groups of men "are being
trained and organized in foreign
territory" and "are then sent into
Greece, together with consignments
of war material"
Q. Armed bands or isolated mem-
bers of such bands "are crossing,
the boundary lines in both direc-
tions under the protection and
guidance of the frontier authorities
of the neighboring countries"
3. Greek fugitives from justice
and anarchists are being received
and cared for in foreign territory,
and are being melted by propa-
ganda to carry on subversive activi-
ties in Greece"
YugosIav Support Charged.
The complaint then charged that
the evidence offered by Greece
confirms the view of the Greek
government that the guerilla war
fare that is being conducted on the
northern boundaries Of Greece en-
joys official Yugoslav support"
1t added that Bulgaria and
Albania bear similar responsibility
for the activities of the hostile
bands operating on Greece's north
ern frontiers"
This situation, If not promptly
remedied, is, in the opinion of my
government, likely to endanger the
of international peace
and security" said Greek Delegate
Thanassis Aghnides.
Tsaldaris Still on Way.
Mr.. Aghnides filed the complaint
in behalf of Premier Constantin
Tsaldaris, who was en- route to New
York to present the case personally
before the Security Council. Mr..
Tsaldaris. left Shannon, Ireland, by
plane today after being delayed by
engine trouble.
THE Greek movement" Mr..
Aghnides said, desires to draw the
attention of the Security Council
to the urgent necessity for an in
vestigation to be undertaken on the
spot, in order that the causes of
this situation may be brought to
light.
They (the Greek government)
are confident that in this way the
charges brought by them may be
confirmed authoritatively and
means provided for the settlement
of the question"

WASHINGTON, May 1O-Ihough dwnrfed by the labor news over the weekend, last Saturdays cnsed- door session of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee which virtually buried price control was just significant. It opened the way to vastly tn- creased food costs, the very thing labor has been
 senator Frnest A6cEarland. Arizona Democrat sprang a surprise when he offered his amendments to the stabisaton act providing for the dropping of all price controls meat, poultry, and dairy prod- ucts day earlier, the committee had accepted Sem ator Tafts proposal for special "decontro board' for gradually removing price regulations on various products, and it was thought that this would be satisfactory to the cattle pleaders
 Iowas Senator Bourke Hickenlooper. though Q Republican, was one of McFar1ands chief support
 Tt is best to vote this amendment in commit tee" he said in the secret session, because if we go to the floor without it. it's certain to be put in and then 1t will open the gates for exempting dozen other products"
 Barkley was not impressed by Hckenloopers solicitude for price control and disagreed sharply
 You know that's foolishness," he shot back. 'Tf we go to the floor with these amendments exempting some products, we are simply inviting amendments from the floor exemptng all sorts of other products"
 However, the meat amendment carried by ten to eight, with Mcfarland joining with a solid Re- publican vote and also voting the proxy of Senator were the only Democrats supporting the amendment
 The vote on McFarlandis second amendment decontroling poultry and dairy products was S-s have carvilles proxy for this amendment.
 As the vote was announced Senator Abe Mur- dock of Utah, himself a cattleman, remarked
 ''WeL, that makes me at least $25O0-but I'm glad voted against it and wish it hadn't passed"
 Murdock had spoken earlier against the amend ment which he estimated would cost the American housewife at the very least in the next year.
 After the decontrol amendments passed, there was some argument about the date which they were to become effective Although the language of the amendments themselves indicated decontrol as of June 30 Mcfarland himself seemed worried and sug- gested that the price controls he wanted eliminated should be maintained until October.
 Senator Taylor of Idaho immediately declared: That will mean we won't see a steak between now and October. If we're going to do this thing at all, let's do it right away, because all know how much meat we'll see under present controls when the industry knows that by waiting month it can name it's own price"
 Barkley supported Taylor and the June 90 date WIS maintained.
 NOTE: So completely did the committee majori- ty understand that it was voting for imitation that there was not even any serious protest when Sem ator Mitchell promised, before the meeting closed that he will introduce an amendment striking the word wages" from the stabilization act. This of course would decontrol wages.

For Us the Living

It is for the living rather to be dedicated here. fo the great task remaining before usthat from these honored dead we increased devotion to the for which they gave the full of devotion-that here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died In vain. '
 Those words familiar and often repeated that only their beauty and eoquence them from banay be read today in light Their fresh meaning becomes accusation the nation pauses the first peace time Memorial Day in five years to honor the dead of this latest and greatest along with those who gave ther lives in earlier conflicts
 Ours is indeed great task today But how well does devotion to honor those who the last full sure? How earnestly do strive to make that the dead have not died in vain?
 The answer is not of pride The strength and unity with which the nation supported the who fought it's relaxed and broken There many who despair of society built upon the costly victory to maintain that peace.
 The dead whom honor today fought to defend "the proposition that all created equa against those who would destroy the freedom and dignity of They fought defend the nation dedicated to that proposition But, though the nation pays them homage today it's gen era behavior yesterday and tomorrow does them scant honor
 And what of "the brave men living" who fought and survved We to have forgotten of sincere wartime promises of unforgetng gratitude and better life Many of those who fought the nations far too many of them housed and clothed obess poorly employed. And still houses not bu goods not pro- duced jobs not provided.
 Let be dedicated to the great task remaining before Let here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. It the least that do and membering, it is little enough.

Little stories come hack from brief excursion to the war in Europe in it's final stages that could not be written then because of censorship Stories of our civilian army-like our army of the Amer ican Fevolution-which won 50 great victory
 There was the curious adventure when flew from Paris with It. Gen. John H. e. Lee, in charge Of European supply to Granville, France. The Gen. eral was investigating bizarre German raid from the Channel Islands on that little Brittany port
 Long before the war had left this part of France. Our armies were far away, poised then to sweep across the Rhine. All of this was Allied territory except for bypassed port here and there to clean out. A few nights before the Germans had sneaked over to Granville for a surprise event.
 Granville is of those pretty, ancient little towns, with narrow, crooked cobbestone streets. We were led-the General his aides and myself-to small room the second floor of little hotel. The General sat down behind the desk of the port com mander, Maj John L. Brown. and we all sat around the wall.
 Major Brown got up before the maps to tell the story He was obviously nervous before his com- manding general Ha described first how he had re- ceived the radar report that ships approaching sometime after A. M He explained that he had in his desk plan of defense and he got that out officer from civilian life. He showed the places the maps where the three German boats had landed
 Then-wtth his pointer shaking . bit from his nervousness-he said:
 T dispersed my trocps.n
 s.Dispersed!" parked the General. Major, you don't mean that. Disperse h what you do to enemy troops. You mean you deployed your troops"

Memorial Day Again B,
By Thomas Stokes

'Yes Sir. General-deployed. yes Sir, deployed, that's what meant"
 The Major had been chain grocery store man. ager in Pueblo Colo, when the war engulfed him. His big moment was this raid in the middle of the night. You could see that he talked. He living 1t all over again. He never thought back there when he was running his store, that he would be in the middle of anything like that ss
 He had done a good job He had organized his forces according to plan, and had driven the Ger mans away after couple of hours. One German raiding party had gone through another hotel in They found only one colonel whom they machine gunned. They also had captured couple of U.N.R. RIA employees, one in his nightshirt. and had taken them away.
 They had shelled the barracks on top of the hill from one of their boats and it was ShaMbes We inspected it. Luckily there were troops there when that happened. The Germans also had sabo- tagged a couple of cranes in the harbor-G Granville a coal port-and lowed away small British boat
 Why the raid was carried out no one seemed to know. Perhaps the Germans just wanted some excitement.
 I've thought so often of Major Brown who had been chain grocery store manager in Pueblo. That was our Army, civilian army. All over Europe I later saw his counterpart doing magnificent jcb.
 Tomorrow we pay our tribute to those who daed in that war.
 If, at the blast of a bugle all of them could rise from their graves and take look about them at the world today. what would they think9 Most Of them were citizsn soldiers like Major Brown.
 That is something for each of us tO think nheut today and answer f0e ourselves AM q @

Those who have sat in on the secret ssssions of the current strike crisis say that if any one man s responsible for aI the labor fumblins t b the gentleman sitting at Trumans right hand-haEd- drinking. molasses-mOving John Wesley Snyder.
 It was Snyder who appeared before the Recon version Advisory Committee several weeks ago and threatened coal strike was nothing to worry about The miners win take little rest for about ten days he advised. and then go back to work.
 "Let lem strike" was Snyder's proven advice.
 Not only had he completely failed to gauge tn, temper of the miners, but he preached the fata doctrine of procrastnation-the doctrine which ha become the root cause of most Truman strike troubles
 Every time other White House advisers havt urged the President to meet situation before M gets difficult they encounter the constant depressing do-nothing influence of John Snyder. Secretary of the Treasury Fred vinson, Bob Hannegan, Secretary of State Byrnes who has even moved temporarily. from the foreign to the domestic field al have tried to alert Truman to impending trouble.
 But the procrastnating Mir Snyder shakes his head. Mere warnings of catastrophe fail to wean him away from his hghban. Catastrophe has to hit him square in the face before he will even begin to move Everything will work out all right, is his philosophy Let people suffer little, then the strike will be over Let en battle things out. Don't get your own fingers burned.
 Snyder's philosophy is exactly the opposite o Roosevelts and the men trained under Roosevelt who identical with that of Herbert Hoover who waited until the bonus army had piled up in Washington, who would not move regarding the depression until farmers were threatening to lynch judges in Iowa. Snyder seems to want the wound to lester before applying the poultice.
 Many people have wondered what hold Snyder has over Harry Truman. Bob Hannegan, who has done his best to get Snyder out of the White House. says it is because both men went through hard times together. Others say it is because they both trained with the same Missouri National Guard unit in the Summers. aM
 Whatever the hold, it is tight For Hannegan Chester Bowles, Fred Vinson, all haves done their best to break the Snyder spell-without success. Like his old friendship with boss Pendergast of Kansas City, Harry Truman puts personal allegiance above national welfare.
 NOTE: Though Snyder has been widely touted as a St. Louis banker, actually his days anywhere near the top of the banking profession are almost nil. Up until 19S0 he was only Smal-town bank teller and cashier in Arkansas, and, like lot of other people who couldn't make go of it in private business got a job with the Government under Herbert Hoover For the next thirteen years 193O- 194S, he worked in the Comptroller Generals office later under Jesse Jones wing in the REC Finally the Jones influence helped him get ce-preSdency in the First National Bank of St. Louis but he was there only two years, and that bank has turned thumbs down on Snyders return.
