BY the Assoeiossd Press

Ely Culbertson said today Amer
ican leaders are increasing Russia S
chances Of world conquest by de-
tending an 'impotent" United Ma
tions and letting the Soyiets build
atom bombs with impunity."
This, he said, Is fantastic un-
reality" in foreign policy.
The bridge expert, who has turned
to the field Of international politics
told the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee that Russia will have enough
atomic bombs by 1850 to threaten
the destruction Of scores OF Amer
lean cities.
Then the people of America will
turn to their leaders" he said, land
ask this fateful question: What did
you do to avert this terrible atomic
threat durin gthe all-precious years
from 1945 on, when the United
States held the destiny of the world
in the palm OF her hand?'"
Sees Debt to Marshall.
Mr.. Culbertson said the worlc
owes "a profound debt OF gratitude
to Secretary OF State Marshall fol
his leadership in World War II
but he said:
Yet these leaders are not only
permitting the Moscow dictators tc
build their atomic bombs with i'm.
punity, but are also defending ar
impotent United Nations so that
these men in the Kremlin may at.
tack divided world with chances
of success"
Mr.. Culbertson continued that
Russian military strategists realize
thoroughly that the primary OBJ

hundreds of divisions and the con-
quest of Europe and Asia is the
American atomic bomb.
"And while they relentlessly seek
to remedy this deficiency, our State
Department, with equal fervor
seeks peace in our time" he as
serted.
Cites Three Objectives.
Mr.. Culbertson declared that the
only hope of averting World Wal
III Is through a revision Of thu
U. N. charter to correct what he
called three basic defects" which
he would remedy by:
!. Elimination of the veto in mat
ters of aggression.
2. Hating of "the atomic anc

3. Establishment of powerful

The House group4is trying to FIND

Mr.. Bates, longtime opponent
of sales tax. contends District real
estate taxes are relatively low" for
city in Washington's class. He
emphasized, however, that he still
is seeking facts and had reached no
conclusion. Actually, he said, he
would be reluctant" to raise real
estate taxes again, since both rates
and assessments were boosted this
year.
Mr.. Smith laid an additional re-
quest on assessor Dent-to estimate
by how much District real estate
taxes would have to be increased to
meet deficit problems, If the sales
tax were to be discarded. Earlier
estimates had indicated the real
estate rate boost would have to be
heavy to match the $13, 3,50O,000 rev.
enue expected to flow from full

Opposition Outlined.
Labor and consumer opposition to
the sales tax was outlined to the

ing deficits, and Charles E. Sands,

Water Gate Concerts

The District Commissioners today
urged "public-spirited citizens" to
join in the Board of Trades under
writing plan to save the National
Symphony Water Gate concerts.
Their support for the plan fol-
lowed a last-minute appeal to sc
business leaders to provide the
needed financial backing The ap-
peal, telegraphed last night, set to-
morrow as the deadline for saving
the series.
| The Commissioners, terming the
summer concerts "one of Washing
tons most important cultural needs,
declared their loss would be dis
appointment to many thousands OF
citizens, young and old. who have
enjoyed them during the last 10
years.
1--WE commend the interest of the
Washington Board of Trade in these
concerts, and urge that public
spirited citizens come forward to
make them possible by joining in
the underwriting plan sponsored by
the Board of Trades Cultural De-
velopment Committee, the Commis-
sioners said.
$4,000 Is Pledge Goal.
The telegram sent last night was
signed by Leon Chatelain, jr., presi-
dent of the Board of Trade; Frank
r. Jelleff, vice president Of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra Asso-
citation, and Maurice B. Mitchell,
general manager of Radio Station
WTOP, which has offered to broad
cast six of the concerts.
Pledges totaling $25 5000 are sought
to cover any deficit in the series.
Several thousand dollars already has
been pledged, the telegram stated.
1t also pointed out that as little as
20 per cent of the pledged amount
might be needed on the basis of
low deficits in past years. No
money will be collected until con-
clusion of the concerts in August,
the telegram added.
This is final last-ditch appeal to
save National Symphony summer

message said. UNLESS we answer

ing solo artists. Entire existence of

Public Asked To Help.
Predicting this summers series
with enthusiastic backing might
break all previous attendance rec
ords, the message cited Board of
Trade support of the project and
urged: Lets not abandon this
symphony summer series after II
years"
In addition to the telegraphed ap-
peal, George R. Titus, Cultural De-
velopment Committe head, urged
public participation in the under
writing fund.
