Cuba First 10 Recognize
Arias Regime in Panama
BY the Asseeioted Press

PANAMA CITY. Panama, Dec.
CUBA last night became the
first nation to recognize the new
government of President Arnulfo
Arias. which took Office last week
in police-spohsored coup.
A diplomatic note extending
Cuba's recognition "in accordance
with the Bogota Resolution" was
delivered by Cuban Consul Abel
ardo Leon Blanco to Foreign Min
lister Carlos Brin.
Mr.. Brin expressed his govern
ment's appreciation for Cuba S
action and said he was confident
other countries would follow suit.
The Bogota Resolution to which
the Cuban note referred was
adopted at the Inter- american
Conference In Bogota in 1913,
The resolution, resolving a dispute
over recognition Of governments
established in the Americas by
force, said continuity of relations
among American republics was
desirable and that establishment
or maintenance of relations with
a government implied no judg-
ment on its domestic policy.

Test borings for the Sesquicen-
tennila Freedom Fair buildings
planned in Anacostia Park near
the Armory at the foot TO East
Capitol street were under way to-
day to determine foundation con-
ditionS.
Meanwhile, the Executive Com
mittee of the National Capital
Sesquicentennial Commission was
scheduled to meet at pm. at the
Riggs National Bank to consider
a number of problems.
The project is confronted with
another problem-moving a col
ored housing development and
dormitories near Oklahoma avenue
and Benning road NE, to make
way for the Freedom Fair.
A meeting of six Federal agen-
cies is scheduled for Monday in
the Offices of Edward Boykin,
commission director. at 400
Pennsylvania avenue NV, to see
what can be done about moving
the housing development. Irving
C. Root, National Capital Parks
superintendent, went out yester-
day with housing officials to look
at some sites to see if they would
be satisfactory for moving the
81 portable houses that now oc-
cupy part of the park property.
Mr.. Root said his survey had
nothing to do with the girls dor
mitory, Langston Residence Hall.
which now houses ITS colored girls
who work in various Government
agencies. This is known as Mid
way Hall. This dormitory de-
velopment, consisting Of three
large buildings. was built during
the war to house colored workers.
Wake Hall now houses the Fed
eral Housing group. while Guam,
the third building. houses part
of the Census Bureau, officials
said. The old Recreation Build
ing and infirmary now have files
stored in them, they explained.
The test borings on the Freedom
Fair site are being made by the
Raymond Pie Co., New York City,
to ascertain how far down the
engineers will have to go to Sc
cure suitable building foundations.
One wooden pile has been driven

costa River. They plan to take
soundings later in the river to
determine the exact depths of wa
ter in which the piers would be
built. One of the Freedom Fair
buildings is planed for erection in
the middle of the dedicated East
Capitol street, on the west side OF
the Anacostia River. But the Fine
Arts Commission has directed that
these buildings be temporary and
torn down as soon as the fair Is
over. Possible conflict between
the bridge building and the Free
dom Fair is seen as another prob
lem that remains to be ironed out
The temporary housing that
stands in the way of the Freedom
Fair development has received
White House attention, it was
learned. Mr.. Root pointed out
that the National Capital Parks
Office does not consider itself un-
der any obligation to find an
alternate site for these temporary
buildings. From the viewpoint of
park officials. it will merely mean
changing one tenant-the thous-
ing development-for another
the Freedom Fair.
Mr.. Root recalled that the tem-
porary housing was erected under
a temporary permit from the In
terror Department to expire six
months after the end of the war
The housing has been permitted
to stand there because the site
was not needed for other purposes.
The izree rni1dings have been
permitted to stand by suffer-
ence," Mr.. Root said, as it has
been difficult to find another site
for them.

GSA Reorganization
Drawn Up, Retaining
-Four Main Agencies

Administrator Jess Larson today
announced completion of the per-
manent reorganization of the
Washington office Of the General
Services Administration, which last
July absorbed major functions of
the former Federal Works Agency
Field units will be reorganized
shortly.
Retained under the new stream
lined setup are four principal
agencies of supply. property man
agement, records management and
certain public works functions OF
the Government to create greater
efficiency and economy, he said.
One of these, the Public Build
ings Administration under Com
missioner w. E. Reynolds, will be
known hereafter as the Public
Buildings Service. The other
streamlined agencies and their
heads are Community. Facilities
Service, under Commissioner Pere
F. Seward; National Archives and
Record Service, under DR.. Wayne
C. Grover; United States archivist
and the Federal Supply Service,
under Director Clifton E. Mack.
WAA Not Included.
Although the War Assets Ad-
ministration had been formally
turned over to GSA, MI. Larson
did not include it in the new setup.
He announced instead that its
liquidation will be wound up about
January /. This has been the in
tent all along.
The new organizational struc-
ture covers only the Washington
office, but shortly will be extended
to the field when GSA regional
headquarters are established.

Discrimination

(ANP)-Rutgers university stu

administration last week, con-

The student council asked in its
recommendation that any organi-

barred from the university cam

to state their own positions on the
matter of discrimination.

the statement asserted.
Mrs. Bethune's organization,
which encompasses s23 national
groups with IS chapters and $780,
900 members, issued a strong
statement, urging the repeal of
margarine taxes and restrictions.
"We cannot" the statment
read, "fail to take cognizance of
the unjustifiable taxes and re-
strictive laws which govern the
manufacture, sale and distribu-
ton of a nutritious, low priced
food product-margarine. Nor
could we fail to voice our desire
to have these laws abolished"
Continuing, the statement said,
"The housewife is asking freedom
Of choice between yellow tinted

rine. And she is asking the con-
gress to help her save precious
time and wasted energy by per-
hitting margarine to be sold I'M

taxes lead to license fees which

Veterans Administrator Carl r.
Gray sent his annual report to
Congress on February H.. The re-
port outlines in detail all VA &C
tivities during the IL months end
ing last June 80.
The purpose. Of course, Is to let
Congress know exactly how the
VA is making it. something our
legislators have to know, since
they are the ones who pass the
laws under which VA operates.
I'll be referring from time to
time to the annual report. 1t is
packed full of interesting items. 1t
says, for instance, that two-flfths
of all males in the country 20 years
old or older are veterans.
It says that during the IL
months in question (f1scal year
1948 121,843 veterans who were
overpaid $13,380.85 in subsistence
allowances, compensation, etc.
appealed to Committees on Waiv-
ers and Forfeitures to be relieved
from paying that money back to
the VA. After considering all the
evidence, the committee wrote of
81, ,402, 1861. AL the rest has to
be paid back.
From r. T. r., Kansas City:
I'm confused on the deadline for
going to school under the CT Bill.
Please say in your column when
it comes"
You must start to school Cor in
a training establishment within
four years after July rs, 1947-by
July rs. 1851, in other words-if
you were discharged before that
date. If you were discharged
after that date. start counting
those four years on the date Of
your discharge.
Okay, that's when you start to
school. Then the law goes on to
say that no matter when you were
discharged, you must complete
your GI Bill training within nine
years after July rs. 1947-or by
July IS. 1866. After that date,
no more GI Bill schooling.
There is one exception to all
this. Anybody who enlisted under
the stimulus of the Armed Forces
Voluntary Recruitment Act be-
tween October. 1945. and October.
1946, may start counting his four
and nine years from the date
which marks the end Of that en-
listment period. The July rs,
1947, date has no significance for
him. Confusing, I know.
