Lots 10 Provide
For 5000 Cars
In Silver Spring
McNoyr Tells Council
Program Outstrips
Other Communities
Rx ]. B. zotman

Montgomery County's 81 100000
public parking lot program in
Silver Spring is expected to be
completed by November and will
provide space for between 5000
and 5000 cars. according to Coun-
ty Manager Irving G. McNayr.
In report to the County Coun-
Gil yesterday, Mr.. McNayr de-
scribed the program as an "over-
whelming success"
Only two of the nine lots in the
Silver Spring business district
have not been finished, Mr.. Nc
Nayr said, and bids on these will
be received within the next two
weeks. One of the two is located
between Silver Spring and Sligo
avenues, and the other is on Ken
nett street, just south Of the
Georgia avenue underpass.
Mr.. McNayr said all the lots
were bought at an average of 81
cents a square foot. although prop
erty in the same area has been sold
recently for as high as So square
foot.
Financed by Bond Issue.
He said the program was
launched in l945 under authority
of an 100000 bond issue. The
100000 still remaining to be re-
paid will come from proceeds Of
another bond issue authorized by
the council last May.
In other business, the council
authorized Edward B. Landry. q
member of the Executive Commit
tee of the County Safety Board.
to conduct survey of the acci-
dent statistics and safety records
of the various county departments.
Mr.. McNayr said the survey
which will be done at no cost to
the county, is designed to help
eliminate traffic hazards and i'm
prove traffic accident reporting.
George T. Papageorge. county
public works director. was ap-
pointed to the Safety Board for o
term expiring December 81.
Rejects Street Request.
The council rejected a proposal
by residents of Ritchie avenue,
Silver Spring, for the construction
of curbs and cutters and street
surfacing along the thoroughfare.
At the same time. however, it
directed Mr.. McNayr to acquire
the necessary rights-of-way on
both sides of Ritchie avenue with
a view to building sidewalks and
widening the street. A public
hearing will be held after the
rights7of-way are obtained to
determine whether the project will
be carried out.

Annexation
Voted
City Council Action
Brings Another
Threot to Fuirfox

A new annexation threat con-
fronted Fairfax County today as
Alexandria began to study the
possibility of expanding its bound
aries.
An annexation suit brought by
the city of Falls Church against
the county now is pending In Fair
fax Circuit Court. Alexandria
entered the annexation picture
last night when its City Council
authorized appointment of a
seven-member committee to study
the possibility and advisability Of
annexing more territory.
While the Alexandria City
Council did not specify that the
study be confined to Fairfax
County. a special legislative act
freezes the boundaries Of Arlirfg-
ton County from further en-
croachments unless the county Is
annexed as a whole. ,-
The committee was authorized
on motion of Councilman Albert
A. Smoot who said he favors an
nexation. His motion. however,
does not commit the council to
pursue annexation even though
the committee report is favorable.
Mr.. Smoot said State legislators
felt that cities interested in an
nexing territory should move
promptly in case rural areas ale
successful in making annexation
more difficult.
Earlier movements in Alexan-
dria toward annexation of land
from Fairfax County have failed.
About three years ago an annex
alton study was authorized. but
was never made. City officials
since have raised the question
from time to time without much
action.
The Alexandria Association was
given a one-year extension to be-
gin restoration of the Ramsay
House. the. city's Oldest building.
The city purchased the house at
the corner of King and Fairfax
streets about three years ago so
that 1t could be restored as an
historic shrine. The Alexandria
Association was formed to raise
funds for the restoration.

BARKLEY:
much Ado :"

Although he had declared it was
much ado about nothing" the
nation wasn't dismissing Vice
President Barkley's seeming ro-
nance with a pretty 37-year old
widow so lightly.
RECEIVING almost as much
publicity as the Rita Hayworth-
Ally Khan love story, Barkley's at.
tentions to Mrs. Carlton S. Hadley,
St. Louis, was second only to the
IS per center" probe as topic
of national speculatio~
The "Veep"-as Barley likes to
be called-didn't Seem too dis
tressed by all the furore. He was
smilingly posing with the widow
for pictures; he had taken her to
meet the folks" in his home town
of Paducah, KY, and he had
squirrel her to some baseball games
and social affairs.
WOULD HE and the widow get
married? Most folks seemed to
think so. And, if that were current
opinion, it was touched off by the
weep" himself. Newspaper read
ers would remember that, crown
ing a beauty queen at Culpepper,
Virginia, Barley had declared
that one day he would crown a
queen" of his own. The fact that
later, at Paducah, he referred to
his granddaughter as being the
queen" to whom he referred, few
people believed him.

THOUGHT, LAW:
Held too Brood

The fallacy of attempting to deal
with ideologies through laws has
been highlighted by a Maryland
circuit Judge. The judge, Joseph
Sherbow of Baltimore, ruled that
the state cannot punish a person
for what that person thinks.
The opinion was given in a case
involving a state law against peo-
pie who join or work with subver-
sive organizations. It was the first
courts test of the new law that re-
quired loyalty oaths by public en-
ployees and candidates for office.
"The supreme court" Judge
Sherbow said in his opinion, "has
made it clear that laws may punish
acts and conduct which clearly,
seriously and imminently threaten
substantive evils.
"They (the laws) may not in
trude into the realm of ideas, re-
ligious and political beliefs, and
opinions. The law deals with overt
acts, not thoughts. 1t may punish
for acting, but not for thinking"
The law which Judge Sherbow
tossed out did not specifically ban
the Communist party. Its preamble
said communism is a dangerous,
worldwide conspiracy that fits
the definition of subversive activity.
Anything that aims at the over
throw of this government by force
was deemed subversive.
Justice Sherbow said the law was
too general. Declaring it violated
the first, fifth and 18th amend
ments to the constitution, and
Maryland's declaration of rights,
he added:
Gas stated by Justice jackson
Gin West Virginia case before the
supreme COURT:
eff there is any fixed star in
our constitutional constellation, it
is that no official, high or petty,
can prescribe what shall be ortho-
dox in politics, nationalism, relig-
ion or other matters of opinion,
or force citizens to confess by word
or act their faith therein"

STALIN:
Very courteous"

The delayed report on how U. S.
Ambassador Alan Kirk made out
with Russia's Joe Stain in a talk
in Moscow held nothing more inn
portant than Kinks report that the
Soviet ruler was very courteous
and pleasant" However, anyone
who might have expected anything
else was indulging in wishful think
ing.
SOME EXCITEMENT was slim
ulated by Kinks refusal to COM
ment Immediately upon his inter-
view with Stain. He told reporters
following the conference that he'd
have something to say later.
The ambassador, a retired ad-
miral and former envoy to Bel
GUM, held the first meeting with
Stain that any American official
has had in nearly a year. He de-
scribed his visit to Stain as a
courtesy CALL"

Tho Whole Works

A woman went to an exceedingly
scientific hospital to undergo q
thorough examination. The first
physician said, ''Let me see your
tongue" Another entered and said,
'Let me see your eyes" Still an
other: "Let me feel your pulse"
Before she was finished, dozen
doctors had examined her. Finally,
she became greatly disturbed.
Then a little fellow came in with
overalls on, bucket Of water, q
brush and some rags in his hand.
She said, "My goodness. What are
you going to do?" He answered:
"I'm going to wash your transom."

MocARTHUR:
Problem for Truman

No matter how the Truman ad.
ministration plays it, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur is tremendous public
relations problem.
THE GENERAL has twice de-
clined the invitation to appear be-
fore senate committees, the second
refusal being in connection with a
bid to come home and tell probe
group what he thinks about the
Chinese situation. The general re-
piled that he thought he could do
better staying in Japan.
OF course, President Truman
could order the general home, but
if he did so, and Macarthur &C.
cepted the order, both the White
House and the state department
would be in a constant case of
filters over what the 69-year-old
prima donna might say in speeches
throughout the country.
If the President chooses not to
order the general home, then his
critics will have fuel for added
clamor that Macarthur is being
isolated and prosecuted.
APPARENTLY, no one seems to
know the procedure in the event
Macarthur refused to come home
if ordered. There seems to be a
prevalent conviction that Mac
Arthur can stay in Japan forever,
if he so chooses.
There are those who say for the
general to make that decision
would be typical Macarthur
gesture and that it would fit in
superbly with his fine sense of the
dramatic.

WELFARE:
No Cabinet Stutus

The senate was having none of
President Truman's proposal for
creation of a federal department
of welfare with cabinet status. A
coalition of Republicans and south
ern Democrats dealt the project a
pulverizing blow by a vote of 60
to 80.
WITH a constitutional majority
in either house able to veto any
such plan, the senate action meant
complete and final defeat of the
plan to transform the federal secu-
rity agency, which handles the ma
tons education, health, and social
security functions, into a depart
ment of welfare.
This proposal stemmed from the
recommendations of the Hoover
commission which spent two years
seeking ways and means to make
government more efficient and eco
nomical.
OHIO'S Republican Senator Taft,
denying the Republicans were re-
pudiating Hoover in opposing a
plan they believed ran counter to
the Hoover commission recommen-
dations, declared:
II believe very strongly that Mr..
Hoover was misled.'
This led Senator Lucas, Illinois,
Democratic floor leader, to state
that he was both shocked and sur
prised that the good Republican
from Ohio would deal with Mr..
Hoover in this manner"

DEEP FREEZE:
CupitoI Chilled

To paraphrase an old tune, it was
january in June" in Washington
rs the story Of the gifts of the
home freezer units unfolded and
expanded. Finally, the sordid
angles of the rs per centers" op-
erations reached to the. White
House.
WITNESSES before a group
probing the extent and results of
influence" obtainable by the
IS per centers" testified that of
several deep freeze units given
away by the manufacturers, one
went to Mrs. Harry Truman, wife
OF the President Of the United
States. Others who apparently re-
ceived similar gift were Chief
Justice Vinson of the US. supreme
court, James K. Vardaman, Mai.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, Mr.. Tru-
mans military aide. In fact, Gen.
eral Vaughan got two, so the wit
ness said.
In connection with that develop
ment, there was a question which
It seemed should have been an
swered long ago by the man most
concerned. The man was Presi-
dent Truman. The question was:
Why hasn't the President declared
that White House influence and
prestige are. not for sale, cannot
be wheedled by favorite hangers
on, and cannot be swayed by any
thing except the best interests of
the people Of the United States?
ANY FAIR-MINDED citizen will
concede that there is no reason to
think the acceptance of the gifts
mentioned involved any law viola
ton. Even though the company
which paid the bills for the home
freezers Is linked with the ubi-
quitous John Maragon and the in
quiry into the activities of IS per
centers" the mere fact Of receiv-
ing personal gifts does not consti-
tute legal offense.
In any sense Of the word, it
seems to be an offense against
propriety. It is further evidence of
a downward trend in political NOR
ais, a not too new development in
these changing times. On the evil
dence at hand THUS far, the deep
freeze affair is not Important
Is merely symptomatic.
