Democracy At

Los Angles, Calf, Especially =
April 2S - "The only solution to
ourp rogress in thew orld society
is the expansion and practice OF
the principles of democracy at
home" stated Elliott Roosevelt in
an interview with Wendell Green
of the Los Angles Sentinel at his
cittage in the Beverly Hills Hotel.
To drive his point home young
Roosevelt further stated:
u. S. BEING WATCHED
The darker peoples of the
world, who compromise the major
itv of the members of the United
Nations, watch rlosely the treat
ment of minorities in America,
and in view of what they observe,
look with mistrust upon the mo-
tives of the United States in the
world leadership role they are
seeking to play in, and in the in
stance of Greece and turkey, out
side of the Tilted Nations.
Roosevelt pointed out that we
look rather ridiculous in the eyes
of the world when we talk about
free elections, with the glaring
fact of Acknowledgement of millions
of Americans of voting privileges

and various other lodges.
While our national leaders are
crying for unfettered elections in
foreign countries, Southern poll
ticias are crying for white sup
primaries, and itw as pointed out
that smaller an oppressed nations
do not overlook this fact when the
United States asks for their sport
in assuming world leadership.
U. s. and RUSSIA LEAD WORLD
Roosevelt declared that the two
greatest forces in the world today
are the United States and Russia.
Hea lso stated that the greatest
single drive among the peoples in
the world today is the desire for
peaceful world, and they are
looking to both or one of these
two great forces to give 1t to
them. That is why the United
States, If it is to survive, and the
world for thatm after, must begin
to practice the democracy it now
breaches.

Virginia Tree Extinction
Threatened by Disease
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, July 2.-Mimosa
wilt is marching steadily through
Virginia and the shutter-ieafed trees
which are in bloom this week are
in danger of extinction in another
generation unless science learns to
check the disease.
The division of Plant Industry
of the State Department of Agri-
culture says the disease has been
in evidence for about 10 years and
that trees are dying steadily. Com
plants from homeowners here have
brought word that no known pre-
ventive exists to control the fungus.
The wilt disease works under the
bark of the tree and cuts OF the
movement of sap and water. Some
times the trees die within a week,
but removal of limb will gometimes
prolong life for a year. In most
cases there is nothing to do but dig
the tree up and destroy it.

Green Challenges Rice
To Produce Proof Of
Tax Evasion Charges

Harry K. Green, Arlington COM
missioner of revenue who is run
ming for reelection, today called on
his opponent in the Democratic pri-
mary to put up or shut up" in his
claim that thousands of Arlington
residents evade personal property
taxes.
Mr.. Green's opponent, James E.
Rice, jr., made the claim Monday
IF Mr.. Rice knows of so many
thousands of people in Arlington
County who evade their tax respon-
sibilities, it is up to him to report
the same to the commissioner OF
revenue" Mr.. Green declared.
Mr.. Green said "for the most
part" Arlingtonians comply with the
law and make their tax returns on
time. Persons who fail to make their
returns by May l are either assessed
or summoned after they are located
by his Office, Mr.. Green said. Last
year, persons who failed to make
their returns on time had to be
taken into court, he said.
Mr.. Rice has confused collection
of taxes with assessment of taxes
Mr.. Green said. He declared the
real estate assessment is not made
by him except for new buildings
erected between general real estate
assessments by court appointed
assessors.
"It might be of interest to Mr.
Rice to know" Mr.. Green declared
that a survey in 1941 of the new
buildings assessed by the commits
sioner of revenue on normal mar
ket at a 40 per cent ratio Of true
value, f1uctuated only 81 per cent
of market value. If there is any
more accurate assessment on build
ings in the entire State, I have not
heard of it,"
Mr.. Green said that in 1946 the
number of income tax returns in
Arlington ranked next to the city OF
Richmond, which has a population
twice that of Arlington.
