during three weeks. II has been
fascinating trip. I have had an
opportunity to discuss, face to-
face, with my fellow Americans
the problems which are troubl-
ing them today.
It was my first trip to Cali
fornia since the New Party had
completed its magnificent job of
gathering 464,000 signatures to
the petitions which have assured
us place on the ballot in that
crucial state.
The first evening I was in Los
Angeles I was struck by the aw-
full fear which has taken hold of
the Hollywood community since
the attacks of the un-American
Committee and the weak-kneed
capitulation of the motion pic
ture producers. Some of my old
friends. and old friends of pro-
gressive causes. did gather one
evening in a private home where
we discussed the crucial issues
of the day.
MY SECOND night in Los
Angeles we had very thrilling
meeting of 10000 people at Gil
more Stadium. It followed a
meeting-an even more encour-
aging meeting-that afternoon at
whichsI had the privilege of adj
dressing 5000 Spanish-speaking
Americans.
On my trip down to San Diego,
1 was entertained at the home of
some friends at Point Iona,
overlooking the Bay and the
Naval Base at Coronado. 1t was
a beautiful day-the sort of day
ON which it is difficult most
places to think of the blood-shed
in far off places like Greece,
China and Palestine.
But at San Diego. with the JET
planes flying overhead and the
battleships in the harbor-with
the sun beating down. the flowers
in bloom. the wife of host expect
ing child. 1 couldn't escape this
sharp conflict with the won
derful potential of peace.
LOOKING across the Bay at
at hundreds of millions of dollars
of military might, I was remind
ed of the little sign in my hotel
room in San Francisco the night
before-a little sign which read
PLEASE turn out the lights. We
have a power shortage in North
ern California. :"
A tiny fraction of the money
expended for the military and
naval equipment in the Bay at
San Diego would complete the
Central Valley Project and pro-
vide the power that Northern
California requires-an infinite
sinai fraction of our military ,ex-
penditures would provide for the
full utilization of the Columbia
River, the Missouri River, the
Colorado River, and GALL of the
great power and irrigation prof.
ects the west must have if it is
to realize its full potential.
Up in Seattle I had rather
premature-and quite possibly
MISUNDERSTANDING of victory.
On rather cool evening, some
5000 citizens paid admission to
attend our meeting at the Stadi-
um-while only 1000 attended a
free meeting held by. Governor
Tom Dewey.

Gently, I had the very pleasant
experience of speaking at both of
the State universities without

lie beach from William H. Labrot,
provided the Navy can be persuaded

acquisition of land by the Navy was
approved Wednesday by the House
and now is before the Senate.

to choose another site he would offer
mile or so' of his property to the
State as a park and bathing beach
The property lies within the area
on which the Navy has set its sights

appraisal on the property. and sug-
gested that 1la per cent of the park
receipts be used to repay him over
period of several years.

never made a convincing case that
this is the only land available for
it's use. And they are planning to
take from the citizens of this State
a waterfront asset and heritage
they can never replace"
He said the Chesapeake Bay site
was favored by highway and ferry
connections, and could accommo-
date "a large crowd"

Planners Reaffirm Ban
On Access Roads 10
INF. Vernon Highway
By Nelson M. Shepard

Federal planners served notice on
real estate interests today they are
wasting time in trying to obtain
authority to build access roads to
the Mount Vernon Memorial high
way from private developments.
In re-afflrming it's established
policy, the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission had de-
MED such authorities to the owners
of the Belle View apartment project
on the outskirts of Alexandria. Rep
resentatives of the owners were
given a hearing late yesterday at
the monthly planning session.
Maj. Gen. U. s. Grant III, chair
man, announced that the petition to
build a road to give the develop
ment access to the scenic highway
was turned down after careful con-
sideration." The commission, he
said, took the position it would not
depart from previous policy provid-
ing there shall be no more points OF
access to the highway than were
included In the original plan and
construction program"
The commission has adhered
strictly to that policy, he pointed
out, to preserve the scenic right OF
way for the entire 16 miles to Mount
Vernon. 1t is necessary to do So
it was pointed out, because of the
rapid growth of housing develop
ments north and south of Alexan-
dria since the highway was con-
structed in the early 1930s.
A resolution was adopted at the
afternoon session recommending to
the District Commissioners that the
proposed Anacostia freeway to
Boiling Field be added to the high
way plan. Action is necessary, the
commission warned, to keep COM
mercial interests from encroaching
on the proposed right of way from
the B. g. o. Railroad tracks to
Boiling Field.
Members of the commission put
aside their work to pay visit dur
ing the afternoon to the National
Guard Armory to see the planning
exhibit of Washington school chill
dren. They expressed considerable
interest in the exhibit, which was
arranged by the Board of Education
and the Board of Trade.
