The present number is between
$50 and 760. 1t varies from year
to year. Several weeks ago, the
Commissioners transferred six small
areas to the park system. Like a
majority of the small reservations,
they are triangles created by cut
ting through new streets or widen
ing others. In like manner each
year, a number of small triangleS
are eliminated.
Another Is .005 Acres.
Next in size to No. 220 is a triangle
at Florida avenue and 2lst street
NV, near S street. 1t contains
20l .68 square feet, or .005 of an acre.
There is another triangle of 239
square feet on Delaware avenue be-
tween End and M streets S.W.;; and
one of 331 square feet on Canal road
at Second street and independence
avenue Sc.
Many Of these small triangles are
impressed on the public mind, for
they are familiar sights. There are
81 less than 1000 square feet in size.
Miss Stratton's records include 13
squares, "a circles, approximately
425 triangles and 100 center park
ings. A center parking may contain
three or four reservations to a block.
They are conspicuous on such
thoroughfares as Maryland and
Pennsylvania avenues, Macarthur
boulevard, and New Hampshire
avenue extended.
Nobody in official Washington
seems to want the bother of taking
care of the new small triangles
created from year to year. They
constitute a headache to both Dis
trict and park officials. Each group
would like to pass the buck to the
other, but the park Office has to ac-
cept them under the law.
Sometimes, people wonder why
they are deemed necessary. Wash
Iingtonians, however, have reason to

angles, which serve as ideal sites
for statues. Since statues are al
ways being erected, park officials
say, it is well to have a thought
fully placed triangle at hand.
Recently, such a problem bebbed
up to confound Federal planning
officials. A statue of jose Artigas,
founder of Uruguay. required a site.
The Fine Arts Commission decided
to put it on small triangle oppo-
site the Navy Building at 18th street
Constitution and Virginia avenues.
1t also is opposite the old Pan
American Annex.
The triangles and other small
plots are here to stay, an integral
part of the park system. Altogether,
they constitute about 1,500 acres of
the total 6,672 acres of reservations
within the District

Clark Urged 10 Favor
Interior Department
In Playground Fight

The District branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People today called
on Attorney General Clark to up
hold the Interior Department So
licltor's opinion that 81 District
Fairgrounds are under control of
the Interior Department.
The land in question was pur-
chased by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission since 1924
and turned over to the Commits
sioners for Fairgrounds. They in
turn, assigned the Fairgrounds to
the District Recreation Board. Ma
tional Capital Parks, a division of
the Interior Department, is seeking
to get control Of the Fairgrounds.
The whole matter now is before
the Attorney General for decision.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West said today he was preparing
an opinion declaring the District
has full and unqualified control
over the 81 Fairgrounds. He was
instructed to study the matter last
week by the District Commissioners,
who stated they were supporting
the stand of the Recreation Board.
West Cites 1924 Act.
Mr.. West said his opinion would
be based on the fact the 1924 Act
Of Congress which created the
planning commission gave it au-
thority to purchase lands and as
sign areas suitable for playground.
to the Commissioners. In addition,
he stated, the land in dispute has
been paid for with District funds.
The NAACP, in a letter to Mr..
Clark, cited the great victory of
Harry S. Truman. outspoken presi-
dent and leader for civil rights" as
one reason he should uphold Mas
tin G. White. the Interior De-
partment solicitor.
Certainly. warranted conclu-
sion in the election results is the
support Of the American people for
the program of President Truman
a program that included fortnight
statements on civil rights" the
letter stated.
The Recreation Board enforces a
policy of racial segregation on the
Fairgrounds under its jurisdiction
The Interior Department does not
allow segregation in its parks and
recreational areas.
Group Agrees With Solicitor.
Mr.. Whites opinion said that
under the law the planning COM
mission only designated which areas
were to be used for Fairgrounds by
the District, but that the land itself
was part of the national park sys.
tenn. and control remained with the
National Capital Parks.
The NAACP stated it agreed with
Mr.. White and commended the
parks service for its policy of non
segregation.
The organization charged the
Recreation Board had made no ef-
fort to promote interracial under
standing in Washington. In Sep
tember, 1t was stated, three groups
applied for use Of school audito-
RUINS for meetings of white and
colored groups, but all were denied
by the Recreation Board because OF
the mixed membership of the Or
CARNATIONS. They were the Ameri-
can Federation. of Teachers, Local
27; the American Veterans Com
mittee, and the Washington branch
of the NAACP, according to the
statement.

Cars For Everybody
By GEORGE S. BENSON
President OF Hording College
SECRECY. Arkansas

MOST PEOPLE thought Henry
Ford's ideas about putting wheels
under every American were just
a lot of bunko. They just couldn't
see how anything like that could
be done. Some of Ford's early
partners failed to grasp the idea,
for they thought of automobiles
as belonging to the rich. Ford's
idea was too "harebrained" for
them. They couldn't understand
how anybody could possibly make
a living selling cars to poor"
people.
But Henry Ford had the grain
Of an idea and the courage to see
it through. America was ma
ton that encouraged such things.
With an original investment of
$4,000, he put the nation literal
ly on wheels. Mass production
was brought into its own, and
costs came down. Ford wanted to
make only small profit on each
car, and this sold millions of
them. Competitors had to offer
good values, too.
Jobs and TIN LIZZIE and her
Payrolls imitators called for
roads. Dozens of new
industries came into being, in the
building Of roads. Our highways
would circle the globe 41 times.
Lizzie and the others had thirst
for gasoline. Americas petro-
leum industry grew enormously.
Filling stations had to quench
that thirst. All these things made
jobs. America became an indus
trial power, with this Ford-in-
spired motive power all the while
adding to her efficiency and ac-
tivity.
This new mass production Gre
ated great industrial empires:
mines for coal and iron, rubber
plantations, timberlands and saw
mills, hydroelectric works, chemi-
Gals. glass, textiles. The result
was more and more jobs, bigger
and bigger payrolls, more and
more goods and products that
people wanted. Then, with our
cars we became a touring nation.
All our states became neighbors.
We came to know the face of
America, the beautiful.

Plowed-Back OUT OF that $685..
Earnings 900 and his idea
Ford developed Q
great industrial empire, with fac.
tories and assembly plants ani
branch offices. Yet, aside from
the factories and the equipment
that he owned, Henry Ford prob.
ably never owned more than {
per cent of the wealth that he
created. He was called a billion.
aire, but he counted his resources
in buildings and machinery, moi
in money.
Ford was free to pillow back his
earnings into an industrial EN-.
pire that created jobs and pro.
duced wealth, mostly for other
people. There were no personal
income taxes to penalize indivi.
dual effort. In fact. corporation
taxes did not begin until Ford's
industry was five years old. and
then the tax was only l per cent.
1t did not exceed Is per cent any
year until 1882. Today, taxes are
multi million dollar item on
many a company's books
Demands from the tax collec.
tor have made impossible a con-
tribution like Ford's from any
individual American in this gen.
Grafton. Present tax laws, and
mushrooming growth of a reve-
nue-taking government, make it
almost certain that there will not
be another Henry Ford, or any,
one like him. Are we thus penal
izing the future Of America?
Who knows what need may arise
for the genius of Ford. in years
to come?
Our nation must never lose its
inventive genius. This genius can
best thrive in a climate of COM
plete economic freedom. The spir-
it Of industrial venture that Ford
typifed must be kept alive. for
the good Of America. Ford's con-
tribution brought untold blessings
to all Of us. We should not make
it impossible, through heavy tax
alton burdens, for any future
Henry Fords to develop in
America.
