THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
DR.. Pa|mquist Calls Seattle Public
Safety Building Public Disgrace"

Seattle's Public Safety Building,
built in 1909 and condemned sew
eral years ago as insanitary and
structurally unsafe, is a public
disgrace" Dr. Emil E. Palmquist,
City Commissioner of Health, said
today in commenting on the bond
isue to be on the ballot March IL
to authorize funds for new Pub
lie Safety Building in the block
north of the present County-C City
Building.
Citing the "deplorable" condi-
ton of the building, DR.. Palmquist
said the present building on Yesler
Way has served its time" and
now is totally inadequate for pur-
poses of the Health Department.
The Health Department, as we'll
as the Police Department" said
the Health Commissioner, lis hor-
ribly crowded, and it's offices poor
ly arranged to a point where eff
cheney is affected seriously. The
shape of the present building does
not lend itself to proper arrange
ment, and the structure is so old
that any repair work is largely
wasted effort
The proposed Public S af e y
I Building, he con inued d, would
house the Department of Health
and Sanitation, the Police Depart
ment headquarters, precinct sta
ton, city receiving and detention
Jail for both men and women, traf-

Health Department, and such pro-
vision has been made in plans for
the new structure. Challenging a
statement that the cost of the
building originally was set at 81
100000 and since has been in
creased to S5,500,000, the Health
Commissioner said the figure of
$2,5OO,O00 had been grabbed out
of thin air. early in the planning
and had no basis in fact. Ger
tainly," said DR.. Palmquist, 1.-THE
figure was premature, as later
studies have proved conclusively.
The new building, he continued.
will be seven stories with a smaller
portion, or tower rising fourteen
stories. The Health Department
will occupy the upper seven floors
of the tower" portion, DR.. Palm
quist added, pointing out that the
building is well-planned with con-
servative space provisions.
The S5,50O,000 sought for the
new building was broken down by
the Health Commissioner into the
cost of the structure, estimated at
81, 100000, with 100000 as the
cost of the site, 100000 for neces-
sary equipment, and 100000 to
be set aside as a reserve for con-
tingencies.
Approval of the bond issue will
require. a total vote of 95,310, of
which 60 per cent, or $3.50 must
be for" the measure, the Health
Commissioner declared.
ut is my earnest hope" he con-
cluded, that this project does
not become a political football. 1t
should be judged on its merits, and
in recognition of the tremendous
need for the new building. We must
do something about the present
situation. recognize that we have
become a large city, and assume
this responsibility and build city
of which we can all be proud. We
have this opportunity in the March
IL City Election to approve a bond
issue for greatly needed, we'll

The Churchill Speech

Winston Churchill went to the Show Me state to de-
liver speech 1t notable example of oratory, fully
up to the Churchill standard But the people of the other
At United States will chorus ringing Show Me- before
they will accept its suggestions.
Stripped of all verbage, proixity, and Churchill
liam circumocuton the great Engshman's plea was for
a L. S.-British military alliance.
Since Russia is the only power today which could last
round against either Great Britain the United
States what Mr. Churchill asking for is military
alliance of the two great Engshspeakng nations against
Soviet Russia.
This simplifes the question Do the American people
desire join the British in against the Soviets?-
for matter what the eloquence of Mr. Churchl's
honeyed words about peace war in the back of his
mind, and would be the end result of any such
alliance.
The British Empire is crumbling structure of colon
ialism The freedom within that empire of which Mr.
Churchill spoke eoquently is utterly denied than
three-fourths of its colonial peoples.
No wonder the speaker proposed joint of Britan's
worldwide military and naval bases The moment the
United States consented such arrangement not only
would we be inviting with Russia but would be
underwriting colapsing structure in which freedom is
completely absent from three-fourths of its chambers
There really little in the Churchill speech ex
cep the place of its delivery He has made the pro-
posals, other occasions He has proposed fraterna
association ian euphemsm for military aliance) in
previous addresses and interviews And his insstence
that the United States and Britain must resist Russia and
curb her aspirations has familiar ring. So
fronted merely with old DOGGY in new verbal
dress.
But perhaps the most dscouragng phase of the whole
matter is that the greatest living Engshman should
the United States and make suggestions which, if fol-
lowed would torpedo the United Nations before it has dis
carded its diapers.
If the world faced with some new, dire peril, the
existence of which had been previously there
would be the ultimate argument of sefpreservaton to be
advanced by those who favor in line with
Churchi's advocates
But since the Churchill position with respect to Russia
already was we'll known, perhaps should give the Unit
ed Nations priority the desires of our DISTINGUISHED
visitor unless and until that dire peril shows ugly face
In such event working military arrangement with
Great Britain would life leap into action over
night.
Give the United Nations chance.

Conservation Days
Start Here With Plea
To Save For Starvinq

Washington is observing food
conservation days" today, tomorrow
and Sunday, when pastors of all
District churches will ask their
congregations to pledge conservation
of food for the duration of the
famine emergency.
The three days were set aside in
proclamation yesterday by the
District Commissioners, who urged
all residents to support the program
for conserving food, particularly
wheat products, fats and oils.
The appeal was issued following
meeting of Commissioner John
Russell Young, Chairman Raymond
F. Garrity of the Washington Food
Conservation Committee; the Rev.
E. Jerome Winter, pastor of St.
Stephens Catholic Church; DR..
Frederick E. Reissig, executive sec
retary of the Washington Federation
| of Churches, and Rabbi Norman
Gerstenfeld of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation.
People can help feed starving
world by eating less themselves, and
thus insure the inalienable right
OF all people to freedom from want"
the proclamation stated.
Many churches in the Washing
ton Area also will begin collections
of canned foods and money for fam
inc relief, starting this Sunday.
The local food conservation COM
mittee wants all persons to reduce
their consumption of bread and
other wheat products 40 per cent
and edible fats by 20 per cent, in
line with the program outlined by
President Truman's Famine Emer-
gency Committee.

u. ). Gives Last Reporl
Today on Outlook for
Bumper Wheat Crop
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The last report on prospects of
the important winter wheat crop be-
fore harvesting begins will be issued
late today by the Agriculture De-
partment and will largely determine
how much wheat the United States
can ship to famine areas in the sec
ond half of this year and a portion
of 1947.
An 100000, ,000-bushel crop was in
prospect April /, but combination
of dry weather in some areas and
insect pests in others has raised
speculation on whether it still will
be bumper harvest.
The report will give condition of
the crop as Of May l and also will
furnish preliminary estimate of
spring wheat prospects. Total wheat
crop for the year is estimated at
around 1000, 100000 bushels.
Britain Expects Share.
There has been discussion among
food planners in the department OF
using a portion of the winter crop
which will be harvested late this
month and early in June, to meet
United States commitments through
June 80. This country has a goal
of 100000 tons during the first
half of the year, but shipments are
tagging.
Great Britain also is looking for
share of the winter crop in the
United States, after agreeing to
divert some 100000 tons of it's re-
serves to UNRRA with the under
standing this would be made up in
July and August.
Meanwhile, work continued on a
plan by this country for improve
ment of food ALLEGATION and distri-
button machinery on a world wide
basis. The proposal will be sub
mitted to a conference here May 20
of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization.
Council Plans Equal Distribution.
c. Tyler Wood, United States
delegate to UNRRA, disclosed yes
terday at special meeting of
UNRRA's 48-nation council that
this country was working on such
plan.
The council, after hearing Di-
rector General La Guardia criticize
the present operations of the three
nation Combined Food Board and
call for a new international agency
to handle food problems, unani-
mously adopted resolution urging
an immediate improvement of ma
chinery for equitable distribution
of foodstuffs.
Mr.. La Guardia also informed the
council that some commission of
the United Nations should take over
the problem of displaced persons in
Europe. He said that speed was es-
sential in getting these returned to
their homes.
UNRRA is scheduled to 60 out of
existence at the end of this year in
Europe and by next March else
where.

Spain Seizure Plan
Charged 10 Doenitz
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres,


NUREMBERG, May 1o-Grand
Admiral Karl Doenitz was accused
before the International Military
Tribunal today of proposing to Adolf
Hitler in 1943 that German troops
occupy Spain so that U-boat warfare
could be stepped up through newly
acquired bases.
Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, British
prosecutor, said minutes of the
Doenitz-Hitler conversations cap
tured by the Allies showed the for
mer German chieftain informed the
Fuehrer the U-boat campaign was
going badly and that the only stra-
tegic area left for operation was the
Bay Of Biscay.
THE best strategic solution lies in
the occupation of Spain," Doenitz
was quoted as telling Hitler.
Hitler's reply, the prosecutor said,
was that such a step would have
been possible in 1910 with Spain's
cooperation, but that the Reich no
longer had the resources for such a
venture.
II don't think I proposed to the
Fuehrer that we occupy Spain,"
Doenitz told the tribunal from the
witness stand.
Sir David retorted that the orig
inals Of the captured minutes were
in London and could be produced.
The British prosecutor sharply at
tackled the admiral's contention that
the German Navy under his direc-
ton abided by the rules OF warfare.
The prosecution introduced
Admiralty records showing that u
boats sank 70 merchant ships with
out warning during the first year Of
the war and contended that each
case was q violation of international
law
