Writer Finds Capital Suffering.
LARGELY From Boom Town Ills

looks to Washington for something
and q lot Of people come here fol
something more. Not only does
Washington react to every domestic
and foreign conflict. Mr.. Perry says
but it is "burdened with the re-
morseless responsibility to Americs
and mankind to find way out
whether one exists or not"
Nevertheless, Mr.. Perry concludes
that living in Washington is not
merely to live L L'Enfant's dream and
walk close to the spirits Of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln
and Roosevelt. It Is even more,
he feels, "to live as close as pos
sible to both the source and the
climax of one of the major Sc
quences OF the human story"
