You will be surprised occa-
sionally and agreeably-with
what you find. OF course, there
always have been interesting
people who were not warriors.
And where there are interesting
people there are interesting
books.
without overlooking the books
by contemporaries about them
selves, I would pick first from
what might be called the civilian
biographies Of the past year the
volume by Hilton Brown on
Rudyard Kipling. And that choice
means no particular preoccupa-
ton with the past.
It Is necessary to know Kipling
to know modern Britain. When
you know Kipling you UNDER
stand winston Churchill better,
and MIR. Churchill's critics as well.
It is insufficient to dismiss them
both as British imperialists, over
looking the awareness of both to
British responsibilities.
OF Kiplin9 and Churchill
And Christopher Marlowe
The two men have another i'm
portans thing in common: Their
ability to array the English
language and march It through
your heart and up and down your
tingling spine.
There Is another who made the
most Of his heritage Of the
English tongue in this crop of
biographies, an Elizabethan,
Christopher Marlowe. And it Is
not any unnatural kinship when
he Is bracketed with Kipling and
Churchill-or they with him.

Gen. Cox Plans 10 Let
Public Use Armory
when Guard Moves In

Return of the Districts Armory to
its National Guard this spring will
be accompanied by a move to allow
wide community use of the building.
Brig. Gen. Albert l.. Cox, COM
inander of the Guard, said today he
is now trying to find out whether
he needs additional legislation to
permit this use or whether he has
the power himself to give the pub
lie a break
"I have always aimed to have the
building used by the public when
the guard doesn't need it for drills, y
he said.
Gen. Cox said he was elated that
the Public Buildings Administra-
tion will be able to start moving the
Federal Bureau of Investigation out
OF the Armory about March Is. The
FBI will move to Federal Office
Building No. /, at Third and D
streets S.W.
More Money Needed.
He also said he plans to ask for
q supplemental 1947 appropriation
to put the Armory in shape for the
Guard this spring and for supple
mental 1948 budget estimate to COM
plete furnishing it and to pay for its
operation during the fiscal year
starting July l.
Both last year and this, he said,
budget estimates to cover this ex-
pense were approved. But, he said,
they were pared down when it be-
came apparent the the FBI was
not going to move out.
He has asked Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon E. West, he said-- to
determine whether Congress must
act before the public will be per-
mitted use of the building.
Last year, he recalled, Repre-
sentative Mcmillan, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, former chairman OF
the House District Committee, in
troduced a bill to permit this use
For instance, the public could use
the building for large conventions,
sports, pageants and other events
1t has been mentioned that the
National Symphony Orchestra per-
haps could use the armory for huge
(15,000 capacity low-admission
concerts, providing the acoustics OF
the building are good enough.
If the National Sports Center,
which is planned for the 1873 acres
adjoining the 10-acre armory site,
is ever built, there are long range
plans to bring the Olympic Games
to Washington. The games would
make use of the armory as well as
the stadium, the huge playing field,
the tennis and swimming arenas
and other units of the center.
Bill Died in Rush.
Mr.. McMiIan's bill died in the
adjournment Tush. Even if it had
come up for discussion, it contained
one feature to which there was
strong objection in some quarters.
This was section of the measure
which would have written the Dis
trict Commissioners and the guard
a blank check on the use of the 1873
acres adjoining the armory.
Under the bill, as much OF this
land as the Commissioners and the
guard commander felt was needed
for car parking and drill purposes
could have been taken over.

said the boy learned about Mrs.
Bush's death when he left the movie
about four hours later.
