Viewsof West
Asked in Dispute
On Recreation
Corporation Counsel
Sent All Dutu on
Issue Of Control

The Commissioners today asked
Corporation Counsel Vernon e,
West to study the dispute between
the Recreation Board and the IN
ternor Departments National Park
Service over control of So recreation
areas here.
The city heads sent all available
information on the dispute to Mr..
West after two-and-a- -half-hour
closed session with Chairman Harry
s. Wender and members of the Rec.
reation Board.
The board appeared at the Dis.
trict Building today to ask full
support Of the Commissioners to
protect the Districts investment
and authority on Fairgrounds as
signed to their control by the Ma
tional Capital Parks and Planning
Commission"
Specifically. Mr.. West was asked
to review the opinion of Interior
Department Solicitor Mastin G.
White that control Of the District
recreation areas should repose in
Interior. 1t Is this opinion that is
now before Attorney General Clark
for ruling at request Of Interior De-
partment.
Request Considered.
The Commissioners took under
consideration, ofncially, the Recrea-
ton Boards request for support in
their fight. Unoficially, Engineer
Commissioner Gordon r. Young
and Commissioner John Russell
Young are opposed to relinquish-
ing control of the 81 Fairgrounds
which comprise two thirds of the
Districts play areas in the city.
The recreation areas have been
purchased by the Planning Commits
sion over a period of years under
the Capper- -Cramton Act for the
District with District funds. The
act provides that the Planning
Commission turn the property over
to the District Commissioners for
use while title remains in the hands
of the Federal Government.
Gen. Young has said he would
call for repeal of the act If Mr..
Clark issues an opinion adverse to
the District. He also pointed out
that Mr.. West and Budget Oficer
Walter l.. Fowler have prepared a
bill which would transfer title of all
Capper-Cramton lands to the Dis
trict.
6h Years Rule Cited.
In informing the Commissioners
of the situation, Recreation Supt.
Milo F. Christensen said it is diff
ficult to understand why or how
Mr.. Whites opinion has been in
itiated after 61s years of successful
administration Of the Fairgrounds
by the Recreation Board.
+ If Mr.. Whites opinion is valid,
Mr.. Christensen said, q large num-
ber of Fairgrounds now used by
elementary, Junior and senior high
schools qualify as park lands which
might necessitate the need for the
Board of Education to enter into
agreements with Interior for their
physical education program and
school use of Fairgrounds next to
school properties.
Obviously, he said, Congress never
intended to give Interior control
over any phase of the local public
school program.

6. W. Hospital Gives
All Man Patients New
Prostate Cancer Test
By George Beveridee

A new blood test by which doctors
can determine certain cases OF
cancer Of the prostate gland is being
made on, all male patients at George
Washington University Hospital.
The test. which doctors hope may
lead to new cancer case finding
techniques, was outlined at hos
pital ceremony today, dedicating q
new cancer research laboratory as
a memorial to Edward F. Bartlett
Mr.. Bartlett, fiscal Assistant Secre.
tary of the Treasury, is chairman oi
a Federal employees participation
program in the American Cancer
Society's control and research drive
DR.. Roy Hertz, assistant professor
of medicine at the school, said the
blood test is typical of clinical re-
search studies to be made at the
laboratory.
He explained that when canoe,
of the prostate gland spreads to the
blood, it can be detected by the test
Studies will be made to determine
whether such changes also can be
traced to the presence of cancer In
other organs.
DR.. Hertz said he hoped the pro-
gram could be worked closely with
the cancer detection programs.
II don't say we are going to use
this test as case-flnding method, u
he declared. But we're going to
find whether it can be. That's the
reason for the test with hospital
patients.
A four-bed ward also win be
opened for patients suffering from
cancer, whose ailments fit in with
the research program, he said. Sim
ilar work on much greater scale
will be carried out in q few years
when the vast 500-bed clinical center
at Bethesda is opened, he explained.
Other cancer research, mean
while, will be carried out at the
Warwick Clinic, which also is a
part OF the university cancer pro-
gram. >
L. e. Ore Of the American Cancer
Society unveiled q plaque outside
the laboratory in honor Of Mr.. Bar
telt. Mr.. Ore said that through the
program headed. by Mr.. Bartlett
Federal employees have contributed
$375, 900 for cancer research, $107, 600
being donated last April.
Also present at the ceremony were
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of the university; DR. Walter Bloc
dorm, dean of the medical school.

Al K. Of T.. Meetinq
AGAINST Communism

More than a thousand persons
who attended an anti-Communist
meeting last night under the aus
pices of the Knights of Columbus
heard an unscheduled speaker on
the subject in the person of the Most
Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle, Archbishop
of Washington.
Presented after the three on the
program at Gonzaga High School
had completed their talks, the Arch
bishop remarked that it was Pc
culiar that I'VE are able to sit here
discussing an ism which not only
affects the countries behind the
Iron Curtain but practically every
country in the world" ~.
I'VE are able to do it." he said,
because we enjoy the four freedoms
freedom of speech. of assembly, of
religion and of the press" He con-
graduated the Washington General
Assembly of the Knights of Column
bus for the anti-Communist forums
it is conducting.
Cites Communism in Poland.
Recalling it was 80 years ago this
month that AL Smith first was
elected Governor of New York, he
referred to him as man who hated
Communism. Adopting Gov. Smith S
slogan of Lets look at the record" :"
he cited the record of Communism in
Poland.
To-day in Poland" he said, there
is a three-fold program: Rigid CEN
sorship of the Catholic press, a de-
sire to abolish religious instruction
in the schools-in a country that is
"a per cent Catholic-and national
ization of Catholic institutions of
charity.
What I say of Poland is equally
true of Hungary. Czechoslovakia and
Ronania.
I'VE Catholics have a great Job to
do. Through our individual lives
and collective action may we go for
ward to keep our country strong and
virile-a glorious country"
The formal program had included
speeches by DR.. Stefan T. Possony,
professor of geopolitics at George
town University: Dr. Miriam Theresa
Rooney, associate professor of law
at Catholic University, and Joseph
A. Cantrel, attorney. William H.
Collins, also an attorney, presided.
Cost in Lives Estimated.
DR.. ,Possony said the total cost of
communism in lives in Russia has
been about 50,000,0OO.
"It can be truly said that the
Communists replaced the church
with the churchyard," he added.
I'm 1929" he said, "the Soviet gov
ernment decided TO collectivize agri-
culture and to eliminate the kulak
class of peasants. According to sta
tistics published by the League of
Nations, this experiment cost the
lives of 5,500O00 people and pro-
dIced population deficit OF 13,00o,-
900.
Previous Communist produced
famines had cost the lives of 3,000,-
600. The population loss of the
revolution was about 10000, 600.
During the last 10 years. untold ad-
ditional millions were purged, evac-
uated and put into concentration
camps"
Mr.. Cantrel. discussing the origin
and purpose of government, said the
supreme authority for government is
God, and its purpose is to do His
will on earth.
DR.. Rooney asserted the United
States Government continually has
emphasized the value of personality
rather than property in its regula-
tions for the common good.
The next meeting of the forum
will be held on December 6.

Judge James w. Morris of District
Court late yesterday set December
6 as the date Of trial, but this was
formality since he agreed the case
would not be ready for trial at that
time.
At the same time, Judge Morris
denied plea Of Mrs. Gizycka's at
torneys to permit a search of the
late Times-Herald publishers per-
sonal papers.
Mrs. Gizycka's attorneys sought
permission for this search to seek
evidence in support of their conten-
tion that Mrs. Patterson was OF
unsound mind when she signed her
will and that he will was obtained
through fraud, deceit and undue in
Huence. Mrs. Gizycka has made
those charges In trying to break her
mothers will.
Must Use Other Methods.
In arguing for the search, Harold
A. Kertz, one of Mrs. 'Gizycka,s at
torrfeys, told the court he would
have to seek the evidence by othe,
methods which would be long ane
EXPENSIVE. : A''''
Enlarging on that today, Mr.
Kertz said he already had the
names of 153 persons from whom
he may want to take depositons
These depositons are the taking o1
testimony for possible use at the
trial.
A number Of employees of the
Times-Herald, Mr.. Kertz added
may be questioned. Mrs. Patterson
left the Times-Herald to seven OF
its executives.
While ruling against general
search, Judge Morris advised coun-
sci for Mrs. Gizycka that they may
come into court again later to ask
for specific papers.
Judge Morris agreed with William
E. Leahy, representing the execu.
tors, that before a search. can be
allowed there has to be some "rea.
sonable designation" of the materia
sought in the search and good caus.
has to be shown that the document.
in question will produce or lead t.
evidence.
Charges Papers Removed.
Yesterdays hearing was higf
lighted by a charge from William
A. Roberts, representing Mrs. Gi.
zycka, that documents had been re.
moved from the Times Herald file,
by some of the newspapers EN-
ployes and subsequently burned. Mr
Roberts said several loads were de-
stroyed by employees who acted "a

charge, said the documents burnet
were 10 years old before Mrs. Pat
terson took over ownership of tn,
paper in 1899.

Mr.. Leahy said there were no un
usual hours at the Times -Heral,
because 1t is a 24-hour rewspape
with responsible officials on dut,

The truck loads referred to by Mr.
Roberts, he said. were the contents
