As Berlin Solution

BERLIN, Oct. 28.-The British
commander in Germany said yes

Gen. Sir Brian Robertson. the
British military governor, told a
news conference, however, he did
not care to predict what might
happen beyond that period.
He said also that withdrawal of
occupation troops might be the only
way to solve the German problem
But here, too, he added a major
qualification.
"It is my personal opinion" he
said, withdrawal may well be the
only means of resolving the diff
culties that have led to Allied dis
agreement.
However, before one could adopt
such a solution one must be sure

Is Lesser Of Two Evils;
Lewis Approval Hinted
BY the Associated Press

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct.
28-The United Mine Workers
leadership of West Virginia is
sued an election statement to
its membership today which
President William Blizzard of
district II said could be con-
sidered as a fiat Endorsement
of Thomas E. Dewey for the
presidency"
At the same time the leaders op-
posed the reelection of Senator
Revercomb. Republican.
The statement was issued over
the signatures of Mr.. Blizzard and
two other heads of districts whose
combined membership is in excess
of 100000 miners.
At the recent Cincinnati conven-
tion, John L. Lewis, the UNIV
chieftain,- while soundly opposing
President Truman for reelection,
refrained from any outright in
dorsement of Mr.. Truman's Repub-
lican opponent.
Hints Lewis Support.
Mr.. Blizzard was asked by news
man If the Presidents action was
taken with the knowledge of Mr.
| Lewis"
| He smiled broadly and said: well
We don't usually do anything with
out the boss knowing about it."
At a press conference, Mr.. Biz
card handed reporters a statement
addressed to the union membership
which said:
While Thomas E. Dewey is net
altogether satisfactory to the United
Mine Workers organization, hes is
the lesser of two evils"
The State UNIV leaders had made
no previous mention of the presi-
dental race.
The statement reiterated the
UNIV leadership,s Endorsement of
M. M. Nicely for the Senate and
Okey L. Patteson for Governor, both
Democrats.
Split Ticket Favored.
Mr.. Blizzard explained Informally
that this meant the district pres
idents were asking their men to
split their tickets"
Mr.. Nicely is opposing the re-
election of Senator Revercomb. while
Mr. Patteson is opposed by State
Senator Herbert S. Boreman.
The statement continued:
Likewise, we further believe the
best interests of your organization
will be served by defeating Rever-
comb for the United States Senate
and electing Matthew M. Nicely. We
have diligently searched in vain for
a single official act of Senator Rever-
comb during the six-year term in
the United States Senate, now about
to expire, favorable to the United

District 10 Take Fight
On Recreation Land
Control 10 Clark
Conference to Be Sought
To Head OFF Grab of
Areas by Park Service
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

The District Board of Recrea-
ton will seek a conference with
Attorney General Clark this
week in its fight to head off a
grab of 62 recreational areas
by the Interior Department
land which up to now has al
ways been under the control of
the District Government.
Joining in the condemnation of
the Interior Departments National
Park Service, which is pushing the
scheme, is Maj Gen. U. S. Grant
III. chairman of the National Park
and Planning Commission The
commission purchased the land in
question and turned it over to the
District Commissioners for play
ground purposes.
Behind the whole fight is the
contention of the National Park
Service that it can order the Rec
reation Board to stop segregating
colored and white persons on play
grounds here.
Seen as Blow to Law.
Gen. Grant said the plan of the
park service. if carried out, would
affect fer the worse" the admins
tration of one of the basic laws
under which the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission hac
been set up and functioning for "a
years.
Harry S. Wender, president of the
Board of Recreation, pointed out
that, if the park service was success
full, the Recreation Board would be
stripped of control of two-thirds of
its Fairgrounds. He declared:
There would be no more Board
of Recreation"
He said he has called special
session of the board for 2::30 pm
tomorrow to thresh out the whole
matter. At that time he will recon-
mend that the board ask the At
torney General for a conference.
Extended Feud.
The feud between the National
Park Service and the Recreation
Board IS long one, which appar-
emily is coming to a head finally.
We've had a running fight with
them since 1942," Mr.. Wender de-
clared.
He charged the Interior Depart
ment is using the segregation aspect
of the squabble over who controls
the land as a political weapon, 3"
trying to influence the Negro vote.
The whole matter last month was
referred to Mr.. Clark by the Interior
Department for his opinion. The
solicitor of the Interior Depart
ment, Mastin G. White, issued
an opinion in August, advising the
National Park Service that it held
legal control of the 81 acres and
could dictate policy to the Recre-
alton Board if the board was to get
use of the Fairgrounds.
The Interior Department wants
backing on this ruling. Thus the
hot potato went to the Attorney
General, who is the solicitors boss.
Gen. Grant also asked Mr.. Clark
to hear him, saying in a letter ear
lier this month that Mr.. Whites
view would encroach upon the
jurisdiction" of the planning COM
mission, the District Commissioners
and of the Recreation Board
