nicelv balanced that either side may provoke
civil strife: in neither is the Red Army yet
present, and In both countries England and
America may supply arms and men to the
patriot forces
The Soviet Union might have contented
itself with making open and complete It's al
ready very considerable control OF hungary,
but its diplomatic initiative in Austria and the
recent wave of strikes in France indicate thae
a rapid and presently dramatic deterioration OF
the whole European political structure is under
way. In all probability, the Soviet Union now
has decided that in the next six months its ad-
herents must control France, Italy and Austria.
This is not itself decision to have war this
summer but it is decision to follow course
which inevitably will make the odds favor war.
To attain control of France and Italy, the
Soviet Union must work through the local
Communists, who will be opposed bitterly by
French and Italian patriots. Upon the way IN
which the local Communists handle events Will
depend much Of the worlds history in the next
few years. Within France and Italy tension
Is at such q pitch that each offensive move
by the Communists such as the recent strikes
in France will provoke the Right to counter
measures; the strikes also will increase the
misery of the people, making men ready for
violent action.
Internecine Strife Among French.
This action may be a coup d etat by the
De Gaulle faction which would be the signal
for civil war in France, leading to the gravest
consequences for Europe. Thus, while the Soviet
Union may not desire war, and the United
States certainly does not, riot or an assassi-
nation in an obscure French town, done by
Frenchmen of their own will, may be the start
of another great war.
The Soviet decision to embark on course
which makes war so very likely Is probably
based on gross underestimation OF the power
and will OF the United States. 1t Is very Ikely
that their press remarks on our share IN the
defeat of Germany and Japan, which seem
50 amusing to us, are not simply propaganda,
but represent an honest and widely-held opin-

The Indiun Princes

The relation of the native states toward
the evolving India of the future has passed
the discussion stage and has become
very live issue. The decorating incident
is the formal announcement by the rulers
of three of these states-Hyderabad, Trav-
ancore and Bhopal-that they will con-
slider themselves to be independent
sovereign nations on August Is, when
dominion status becomes effective for
Hindustan and Pakistan.
If those three rulers typify a general
trend among their princely colleagues, the
resulting situation will be as difficult as
it is unprecedented. There are no less
than 562 of these native states, ranging
from principalities larger than several
European countries to tiny areas of few
square miles and some thousands of people
Yet all of them have been Independent
of British-ruled India, acknowledging only
the "paramountcy" of the King Emperor,
with whom they have treaties assuring
their local sovereign rights and privileges,
Virtually the sole restrictions on their
sovereignty have been ban on diplomatic
relations with each other and the accept
ance of British Resident" with dis
creetly used powers of advice" and a
rarely employed right to depose ruler
in cases of f1agrant misgovernment
This extraordinary condition reflects the
situation when the British spread their
authority over India, two centuries ago.
At that time, the great Mohammedan
Mogul Empire had broken down, leaving
India a welter of contending chieftains,
Moslem and Hindu, who had carved out
domains for themselves by the sword.
Those who opposed the British were over
thrown and their dominions annexed to
the regions under direct British admins
tration But many others made their peace
with the rising power in India and were
confirmed in their possessions and pre-
negatives under the system already men,
toned
So long as Britain ruled India auto
craticalIy, the system worked satisfactorily,
but with the rise of Indian nationalism,
the native states became glaring anomaly
in the eyes of those who sought India's
national unification. The native princes
naturally opposed their threatened ex-
tinction and tended to band together for
mutual protection. Since 1921, a Chamber
of Princes has been established for con-
sultation on their special problems. 1t
should be noted that, in many Ii not most
of the native states, there Is varying
degree of loyalty to their rulers amongst

To the Editor Of The Star:
As plain, ordinary citizen of the South,
think the picture of our race relations has been

outlook for the future home-ownership OF
Negroes within the District.
Areas near Washington are automatically
prohibited to Negroes by restrictive covenants
thus making it impossible to use the moderately
priced suburban sections, so accessible to other
races who wish to avoid the evils OF ghetto
living. The Government is now in the position
of planning ghettos since all these restrictions
have by one means or another forced Negroes
into ghettos.
1t is recognized of course, that this plan
will Immediately help some people who are
living in substandard homes, but again the
question is raised as to the soundness of this
type of plan, where thousands Of persons
are forced to live In Government subsidized
homes This is subtle social problem which
goes deeper than casual surface indications

Of being forced to accept the paternalistic
landlordship of the government.

flciaries OF an enforced paternalism, which can

which to excoriate them, 1t Is easy to see some
of the moral and spiritual effects of this type
of social planning.
In view of the foregoing considerations, Is
it unreasonable to recommend critical re-
examination of the purpose, the implications
and the ultimate good of Public Law 592?

is the trend in many schools today.

explained, and studies of Russia will
be relegated to the same position
given other areas of the world "All
the Americas will be treated as a
unit with a common European herit-
age and common mission in world

Congress Approves
$4,000 for Planning
OF Courthouse

Congress approved and sent to the
White House last night an appro-
priation of $4,000 to begin plan
ming the new Federal courthouse
for the National Capital.
The project had been authorized
by a previous act of Congress, but
the funds are necessary for the
Public Buildings Administration to
begin preliminary work.
The structure will be erected on
Constitution avenue, between Third
street and John Marshall place
N. W., on a site now used for a
parking lot.
Funds for the courthouse were
included in the First Supplemental
Appropriation bill which also carried
two items for work on Capitol Hill.
$4,000 For Restaurant.
Capitol Architect David Lynn
would study plans for a new Senate
Office Building, with $4,000 allo-
Gated for this purpose. Also allotted
was $4,000 for reconditioning of
the restaurant in the Senate Wing
of the Capitol, which goes under
new management August /. The
renovation will be done during the
Congressional recess. 1t will in

ing room into a cafeteria.
The proposal for a Federal court
house here has been pending for
many years. Several sites had been
under consideration, but agreement
finally was reached on the Consti-
tuition avenue site, near the Ma
tional Gallery of Art.
Under the law authorizing the
courthouse, the District turns over
the site to the Federal Government.
The land was bought by the Dis
trict originally as part of the area
for a great new municipal center.
But it was decided the city did not
need all the land for its own use.
Decision Left to Congress.
The District is to be credited with
the appraised value of the site to-
wards the Districts eventual share
of the cost of the entire project
Decision as to final division of cost
between the Federal and District
governments is left to Congress.
The building will be for the use of
both District Court and the United
States Court of Appeals, and some
of their necessary offices.

Plane Crashes
At Boiling Field
Just Fire Drill

Army officials at Boiling Field to-
day reassured citizens of the Con-
gress Heights area that firefghting
crews who stage daily fire-f1ghting
drills with blazing planes on the
field are doing it for the experience.
And the crews they rescue from the
blazing craft are only dummies.
For the last two weeks, since the
fire and rescue drills have been held,
the field switchboard has been
swamped with frantic calls asking
about the plane crash," a spokes-
man said.
Most of the planes are condemned
craft, with dummy figures represent
ing the crews. The fire is an ignited
mixture of gasoline and oil, to give
a realistic blaze and billow of black
smoke, officials reported.
