Get U. s. BACKING

Recommendations that the Gov
ernment' build a 1s0-mile park
way along the Chesapeake g. Ohio
Canal between Washington and
Cumberland. Md, are expected TO
be made soon by two Federal agen-.
cies.
Plans for the proposed develop
ment in one OF Maryland's most
scenic areas were outlined yester-
day by officials of the National
Capital Parks and the Public Roads
Administration. They envision, In
addition to a water-level highway,
an extensive recreation develop
ment with riding trails, hiking and
camping areas. Il
Neither of the two agencies has
committed itself to the project
but Harry T. Thompson, assistant
superintendent Of the parks office,
declared the efiicials are becoming
increasingly enthusiastic about the
idea.
Conference at Cumberland.
Preliminary studies of the pro-
pcsal have been conducted under
terms Of Congressional bill spon-
sored by Representative Beall, |
Republican, Of Maryland. In con-
nection with these, Mr.. Thompson |
and other officials conferred yes
terday with city officials of Cum
berland to determine whether /
several terminal problems" at !
Cumberland can be solved.
Mr.. Thompson said the study
was begun with some trepida-
ton but that as 1t progressed he
and other officials have become
enthusiastic"
He said the parkway would be
relatively inexpensive, since the
Government already owns the
canal and most of the right of
way that would be needed. Fur
thermore, he said. many of the
old acqueducts could be used to
carry the highway and compare.
lively little grading would be
necessary. The road would par
rallel the canal, sections of which |
would be filled for recreation.
Mr.. Thompson said the delesa-
ton which went to Cumberland
was impressed with the city's de-
sire to cooperate In solving the
problems Of relocating railroad
tracks and building dam, which
are involved In Cumberland's pro-
jected. flood control program.
Decisions on these matters would
affect parkway terminal plans, he
said.
Trucks Would BE Barred.
Trucks would be barred from
the parkway under present plans.
The highway would touch nu-
merous points Of historic interest
and some would be rebuilt. It
would pass through Brunswick.
Point of Rocks and Harper's
Ferry. Tentative proposals call
for q transportation museum in
Cumberland. n
Mr.. Thompson said the agencies
report to Congress would be made
by November /. IT, favorable,
Congress would be urged to ap-
prove the project and to make
appropriations for 1t.
He said the project would be
unique as q water-level develop
ment.

do. With all this discussion about
what they get. or don't get. some
body ought to investigate and find
out just what they do get. The
Armed Services Committee thinks
lit knows. but 1t doesn't.
"Why, at Camp Lejeune "a Ma

MIR. Sutton said he and Repre-
sentatives Boiling, of Missouri.
and Furculo, of Massachusetts,,
both Democrats, presented recon-
mendations to Chairman Vinson
of the Armed Services Committee
and Mr.. Kilday at conference
Friday. He said the only ones to
be accepted, apparently. were re-
tention of the family allowances
temporarily. proposed by Mr.. Fur
culo, and the raise for recruits.
although the latter would not ibe
effective in the first four months
Of service.
Most recruits advance to the
next higher grade after four
months, anyway, and would get
$S2.50-instead Of the present $50

New Savings Seen.
A feature Of the first bill which
he particularly had wanted
changed. MIR. Sutton said, was
provision authorizing the head Of
the service concerned to distri-
butte warrant officers among four
warrant pay grades. He said this
would leave many warrant officers
nearing retirement In doubt as
to the grade from which they
would retire.
"The>bill should tell them in so
many words" he declared.
The initial saving under his new
bill. Mr.. Kilday explained. would
result from cutting from $500 ,000.-
600 to $282, ,000, 900 the increased
cost OF the new pay scales curing
the nine month period beginning
October /, when the bill Is intend
ed to take effect.
After 1852, he estimated. the in
creased payroll cost will level Off
to $314.00o, 900 or less, compared
with the $406, 900, 900 estimate for
the first bill.

By reason of their long domestic background and their lack of freedom particularly under Hitler they have not been prepared for the demands they face. The Soviet Unions answer to this has been to organize and pro- pagandize them.
 Only recently did American occupation authorities establish woman's affairs department with woman in charge. But in the cold war over the German woman this country's most strategic move-one that the Soviet Union unlikely to duplicate is to bring influential German women here and let them freely see all of American life.

 Johnson took the job. fought the case up to the Supreme Court, and as a result of the publicity, ran for mayor of Clarksburg. This was just two years after coming to live in West Virginia. Johnson lost the mayoralty race by about 50 votes, but shortly thereafter was elected to the State Legislature and became Democratic leader of the House.
 The first World War came. John son was mustered out a captain of the 80th Infantry Division, and on the day he retired, he had the nerve to write letter to the Chief of Staff telling hom how to reform the Army. He will now. have a chance to carry out those ideas.

GIRL SCOUT NEWS

Girl Scouts of Troop met at the Methodist Church last Tuesday and we started to work on plaques. Connie Brown received the award or selling the most Girl Scout calendars. We received Girl Scout Law 3, which is: "A Girl Scouts Duty is to be Useful and to Help Others" This means that she is ready to help anyone in trouble to he best of her ability. She does her share of work and assumes her share of duties at home, school, camp, or wherever she is. If poss- .ble, she does a little more than her share. provided it does not take rom someone else the pleasure of doing things.

TOO TRUSTING

Louie Johnson is queer mixture
 of conservatism and liberalism Since leaving the Government his contacts have been chiefly with big business. His clients have been scma of the biggest firms in the country. Yet when Johnson went to India as special representative of President Roosevelt. he sided with the Indian independence
 movement and became the great friend of Pundit Nehru and Ma hatma Gandhi
 Big, genial, quiet-spoken Johnson works long, late hours, dashes round the country on speaking engagements. and while Assistant Secretary of War delivered TIE | speeches in two years, flying 100000 niles to make them. Since leaving the Government, he has followed a regular routine of spending week ends in Clarksburg, w. Va, the sarly rart of the week in Wash ngton, D C., and the middle oi he week in New York.
 Probably Johnson's biggest handi- cap is his naive trust in people sometimes in people who have double-crossed him. He is inclin- sd to believe that everyone is his friends-though a lot of them arc
 not. . Johnson is one of the few Wal
 Department executives who hasn Ceen afraid to put the brass il their places. Most civilian Secre-
 raries of War lean so heavily on ths top brass that the constitutions concept of civilian control over the Army is voided Johnson, however not only knows the military estab- Iishment from A to z. but isn't afraid to tell the brass where tc

Jean Cocteau, the French poet playwright novelist aesthete whose likeness you may have seen float ing around surrealiscay the pages of Life maga- zine last week has isolated what he calls the thing in New York The thing" according to him, is bore dom terror which New Workers never mention "They drink to escape it. he says, they go to the movies to their psychatrst, they sit in front of television there is no conversation.
 We'll we wouldn't know about that, inasamuch as we do not live New York Perhaps Americans, unlike Europeans have never regarded conversation as form of entertainment and therefore seek more passive kinds of diversion. Yet recall that Evelyn Waugh the British novelist observed as conspicuous American trait that we talk endlessly to another and that no one listens. One isn't expected to- This of course isn't conversation either but "a form of social noise making.
 The variety of entertainment provided by our present urban culture longer requires the ind- sidual to rely at all his resources. There is no time for conversation reading reflection.

 Johnson's farsightedness. however enabled the United States to mo- bilize industry in almost record time ard to Lear the brunt Of supplying the allied armies.
 Johnson's other major achieve ments as Assistant Secretary of War were pushing airplane produc- ton for the French and British long ksfore Pearl Harbor. when Congress was opposed to supplying plane to the Allies; urging and pioneering the Alaskan Highway as early as 1889 long before anyone ever dreamed Alaska would have to be fortified; urging increased electric power for war centers; and devel- oping clese economic and military ties with Latin America.
 During the period he accomplish cd these things, Johnson, as Assist ant Secretary of War, was in a con- stant feud with his Secretary ot War, Harry Woodring. The feud would have been comic had it not been for possible tragic consequen- cgs.

 This was a system by which American industry received small War Department orders for tanks machine guns, artillery, etc. for educational purposes. This gave the factories a chance to get their machine tools in shape, with the idea that, following this experiment tation, large-scale production could begin in a hurry-if war broke out
 Johnson put this into effect as carly as 1888, three years before Pearl Harbor, and ct time when U. s. steel moguls were sitting in Europe working out world steel cartel with the Nazis.
