Shift Of Highway
Control Awaits
Next Congress
Special Session Action
Barred on Transfer
Of SuitIund Parkway

Congress Will not have time dur
ing this short session to transfer
the Suitland Parkway from the
Army to the National Park Service,
but legislation to do this probably
will be considered at the first ses-
sion of the Eighty-first Congress
next January.
This was indicated today by aides
of the Senate and House Public
Works Committees, where legisla-
ton for the transfer has been
pending since last April.
The parkway connecting Boiling
and Andrews Air Force Bases al
ready has been declared surplus by
the Army and turned over to the
War Assets Administration for sale.
But the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission is eager
to have the new highway trans
ferred to the National Park Service
as a part of the highway system
feeding the National Capital from
nearby Maryland.
Agencies Sounded Out.
At the Capitol, it was learned
that both the House and Senate
Public Works Committee have asked
several Federal agencies what they
think of the proposal to transfer the
highway to the National Park Sery-
ice.
Favorable replies on the proposal
have been received, aides said, from
the Budget Bureau, the Interior De-
partment and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
In other circles, it was emphasized
that the Army itself has approved
the identical bills. The Senate bill
was introduced on April IA by Sem
ator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land. The House bill was introduced
on April by Representative Sass
Ger, Democrat, of Maryland. No
hearings ever we're held on either
bill.
Impossibility of putting the legis-
alton through Congress became
more apparent yesterday when Sen
ator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, told
the Senate Congress hopes to ad-
journ next Saturday night. Later,
Speaker of the House Martin, told
The Star he expected the House to
go along with that plan. Only emer-
eency legislation of national impor-
lance is to be considered during the
last week of the session under plans
laid down by the Republican ma
jority.
Planners Seek Action.
The planning commission, which
first divulged the fact that the park
wav had been declared surplus,
took official cognizance OF the
situation yesterday afternoon.
1t directed Mai. Gen. U. S. Grant
III, chairman, to press for imme-
date passage of the two bills which
would transfer the parkway to the
National Park Service. In the event
Congress fails to act at the extra
session, the commission authorized
the chairman to take whatever
steps are necessary to get WAA to
withdraw the highway from the
surplus category.
The Army Department declared
the Suitland Parkway surplus on
June %. An Army spokesman said
it was necessary to do SO because
the law under which Government
properties are declared surplus ex-
pired June 80, and it did not want
the road on its hands.
While there is believed to be little
chance that a private developer
would try to buy the 7-mile road
at this time, the planning commits
sion wants the temptation removed
Suitland Parkway represents years
of negotiation and planning.

Calcium Found To
Improve Crops

BERKELEY, Calf, Aug. 10
Calcium deficiency is one of
the reasons why many serpentine
soils-soils very rich in magnes-
ium-are infertile. This has been
established in experiments carried
out by DR.. James Vlamis and
Professor Hans Jenny of the Uni
versity of California College of
Agriculture.
The experiments did not sup
port the theory that chromium,
nickle, or cobalt are responsible
for poor growth in serpentine
soils as had been assumed fol
many years. Nor was there any
evidence found that these ele.
ments are causing the rosette
disease in lettuce observed or
serpentine soils. While fertilizine
the soil with nitrogen and phos.
phate increase growth it did mo-
cure rosette disease. However
the addition of a special form OF
calcium overcame the disease am
improved the fertility.

Wallace Calls "Spy"
Cases a Pattern
For Destruction

NEW YORK, (GNS), Aug 10
In a statement issued from
Progressive Party headquarters,
at 80 Park avenue, Henry A.
Wallace, candidate for President
of the United States agreed with
an able journalist who has des-
cribed the current proceedings of
the Un-American Committee as a
circus. Mr.. Wallace's statement
goes on to say, that he has said
it is designed to distract the peo-
pie from their real problems,
which the Congress of the United
States has failed to solve.
The President has aptly term
ed the proceedings "a red herr
ing" He has said it was created
for precisely the same purpose.
He is right. The old parties pur-
suing their present policies can
not halt initiation nor guarantee
civil rights.
Yet there is more involved
here than the circus or sideshow.
There is a whole pattern of ter
ror and fear-making which has
been developing since the death
of Franklin Roosevelt. It is a pat
tern for which the leaders of both
old parties including Mr.. Truman

pattern for the total destruction
of constitional liberties.
The pattern is the same as that
which developed in Germany in
the nineteen-thirties.
Mr.. Truman has stated the
simple facts that the Federal
grand jury which heard the latest
spy stories found that the evil
dence did not warrant the return
of indictments; that the FBI
which heard these same stories
years ago has failed to produce
substantiating evidence.
The deprivation of due process
of law; the substitution of "con-
viction by headlines" for judicial
procedure; the destruction of con
stitutional guarantees of a free
people; the denial of the Ameri-
car tradition of fairplay by the
Thomas Committee are not the
works of n party. They are the
products of both old parties. The
bipartisan unity in building fear
has been and remains an inte-
grail part in the bankrupt foreign
policy.

enough practical points Of agree
ment can be found between the eco
nomic union idea and the federal
Palestine plan, some basis for aego-
tiations may be worked out.
The exact form Of the trusteeship
which the United States may advo-
cate to other u. N. members has not
been disclosed. But there Is specu-
lation that responsibility for the
temporary Palestine government
may be given to the Allied and AS
sociated Powers Of World War I.
The Holy Land was set up as a
separate state at the end Of that
war.
If trusteeship cannot be worked
out before the British surrender
their mandate on May Is, the whole
legal status of Palestine will be
thrown In doubt. Then the problem
of creating any kind of government
through peaceful means will, in the
American view, be vastly compli-
Gated.
The belief here is that, If this
happens, the Arabs will claim all
Of Palestine and the Jews viii claim
a separate state.
The controversy most likely then
would be fought out instead of
being settled by peaceful means.
Hopes for Truce Success.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
said that if actual war comes to
Palestine it will be because the
administration failed ito back up a
just and practical solution OF the
problem"
Senator Taft. a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
added:
THE President says If his new
trusteeship plan is adopted, we must
take our share of the necessary re-
sponsibility.' which must mean
American troops as part of a United
Nations force.
why isn't United Nations force
to support partition as practical as
a United Nations force to prevent
partition? I hope the Presidents
apepal to the Arabs and Jews to
arrange truce will be followed by
BOTH"
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan commented in the Senate
that ut would take more troops to
impose a trusteeship opposed by
both sides than to impose q parti-
ton opposed by only one side"
