Rail Locomotive Smoke
Cut 50qb From War Peak

Smoke from railroad locomotives
has been cut by more than so per
cent from the wartime peak, En-
zineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young revealed late yesterday.
For the first six months of this
fscal year, Gen. Young said, smoke
violations we're down to SO per
cent and for November and De-
cember, 1948, were down to less
than 2 per cent. This compares
with the average wartime viola
tions Of is per cent.
The percentages are based on
the ratio of locomotives with ex-
cessive smoke to the entire number
of locomotives observed.
Even greater Improvement has
been noted at the roundhouse Dur
ing the war, roundhouse smoke
violations rose as high as 80 per
cent, but the latest observation
showed only 16 per cent violations.
Some of the improvement is at
tributable to the continuing sub
situation of Diesels for steam
locomotives. Gen. Young said.
All but two of the Al violators
last year were fined.

Woman Threatens Tax Strike
Unless Neighbors Are Quieted

Thouvenin described as the most
horrible roars."
This riotous behavior, the Com
missioners were told, forced one
neighbor to move last year about
two roars short of a nervous break
down.
Repeated Intervention by the blue
coats of No. 10 precinct Capt. Basil
McAllister brings only temporary
lulls to Oak street, Miss Touvenin
wrote. But the necessity for con-
slant liaison with the police has
rendered her tired and disgusted,
Miss Thouvenin went on.
"As a real estate-owning resident
of Washington" she said, Il am
paying taxes in order to get ade-
ouate service from the District.
Inasmuch as I am not now OBJ
tanning satisfactory service, I have
legitimate grounds for not paying
my taxes"
Apprised of Miss Thouvenin's
avowed intent to scorn the Districts
real estate levy, one high District
official observed dryly:
We'll, If she doesn't pay her taxes
she won't have to worry about the
noise much longer"

Raised eyebrows were visible all
over the District Building today,
where they are reading and re-
reading an indignant letter from
a woman who says she'll pay no
taxes because her neighborhood's
too noisy.
Violette Thouvenin, 1912 Oak
street NV, in a letter to the Com
missioners, wrote:
Gentlemen: have the regret
to inform you that I am not going
to pay my District real estate taxes
when they fall due this coming
March as long as the intolerable
noise conditions which at present
obtain in my neighborhood con-
tinue.'
She went on to inform the city
fathers that her studies in pursuit
of doctor of philosophy degree In
economics require deep concentra-

Richardson Denies
He Made Award 10
James Roosevelt
By the Associated Press

James Roosevelt, a Marine veteran
of Pacific fighting, refused comment
Yesterday on Marine Gen. Holland
M. Smiths criticism Of the award
of the Silver Star to Mr.. Roosevelt
for his part in the Gilbert Islands
campaign against the Japanese in
1943.
! At the same time, 1t. Gen. Robert
G. Richardson, jr., retired former
Army commander in the Central
Pacific, told a reporter he had moth
ing to do with the decoration of the
son of the late President, as Gen.
Smith has written.
Gen. Smith, now retired, was COM
manding general of the Fleet Ma
rine Force in the Pacific and dl-
rected fighting in major operations
including Tarawa, Maxim, Two Jima
and Saipan.
Cited Award in Memoirs.
In his war memoirs, Coral and
Brass" just published, Gen. Smith
mentioned the Silver Star Award to
Mr.. Roosevelt, then a lieutenant col
onel, who was at Maxim as Marine
observer attached to the Army. Gen.
Smith wrote:
Back in Honolulu, Richardson
without any reference to me, let
alone the Marine Corps, decorated
young Roosevelt with the Silver Star
for his part in the Maxim operations,
which consisted of being present.
Had the matter been referred to
me, a courtesy which should have
been extended to the commanding
general, I would have strongly dis
approved the recommendation. Jimmy
Roosevelt proved himself compe-
tent and courageous Marine on
MANY occasions. but l always Won
dered how he felt about that dec
oration."

Gen. Richardson said he did not
decorate Mr.. Roosevelt. He said
tlae~eitatien came from Maj. Gen.
Ralph- Smith, who led 9th Army
Division troops IN the capture OF
Maxim. He said this went to Ad-
niral Chester Niulitz's headquarters,
was processed through the usual
channels and was approved in
Washington.

Gen. Delos c. Emons. then 4th

Strict Secrecy Marks
Talks Between Israel
And Egypt al Rhodes
By the Associated Press

RHODES, Jan. 19.-Strict secrecy
today marked the armistice neeo-
tiations of Israel and Egypt, now
at the critical stage.
No single word was forthcoming
from the four separate meetings
which the acting United Nations
mediator, DR.. Ralph Bunche, held
yesterday with each delegation.
1t was presumed hard bargaining
was going on, with Israel's future
boundaries in the Negeb at stake.
DR.. Bunche was trying to lead both
sides into agreement on such hard
practical questions as withdrawal
and reduction of the armed forces
in the barren Negeb which the new
Zionist state hopes to make populous
with settlers and rich by irrigation.
These are the questions which have
wrecked all peacemaking efforts
since the U. N. Security Council last
November sought to restore the truce
and promote an arnlstice.
Optimism Prevails.
An atmosphere of optimism still
prevailed, despite the difficulty OF
the negotiations. The good cheer
was traceable to four factors.
1. Israel's reported agreement to
: release soon the trapped Egyptian
garrison at Faluja. There still was
no official announcement of this
agreement, which presumably was
swaiting accord on other points.
The Israeli government in Tel
Aviv announced yesterday. however,
that it was permitting a U. N. con-
voy from GAIA to bring food and
medical supplies to the men ana
take $50 wounded and sick out.
2. Reports from Jewish sources at
Haifa that Israel and Lebanon may
sign an agreement before the week
is out. Israeli and Lebanese repre-
sentatives have been reported cnnT
ducting preliminary negotiations fos
an armistice for several days.
Other Armistice Talks.
8. Private reports from Tel Aviv
that Trans Jordan and Israel also
have set armistice talks which may
begin tomorrow. The informants
said local military representatives
of the two countries at Jerusalem
would try to broaden their Jerusalem
truce.
4. British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin's assertion in the House OF
Commons yesterday that Britain has
no obligations or intentions OF en-
eaging in aggressive or offensive ac-
ton over Palestine.
This was seen as encouraging the
Arabs to make peace The Jews
pocket was seen as an indication of
agreement regarding the Faluja
pocket was seen as an indication OF
their earnestness in efforts to end
the eight-month Palestine war.

Ahead Of Schedule
By the Assoejosed Press


BATAVIA, Java, Jan. 1s.-Neth-
erlands Prime Minister William
Drees, who has been surveying In
donesian conditions for two weeks
will leave for home tomorrow by
plane.
He is returning ahead of schedule
due to i'll health, officials said. They
added that he considers his mission
almost completed.
Permission was given by the
Indian government for his plane to
touch down in India en- route. India
has prohibited stopovers of regular
Dutch commercial flights in protest
against Dutch military action in
Indonesia.
A Dutch spokesman announced
that Indonesian Premier Mohamed
Hatta and five other Republican
leaders held on Bangka Island, have
now been given freedom to move
about the island. A United Nations
Good Offices Committee report that
the Indonesian leaders had been
confined in one small room brought
rebuke from the Netherlands gov
ernment at The Hague and an in
quiry from Dutch military authori-
ties as to why original orders" for
the treatment of captured Indo-
nesian leaders had not been carried
out.
Calls U. S. Plan Acceptable.
Former Indonesian Premier Sutan
Sjahrir, here for "orientation talks"
with Dutch officials, said today that
the proposed American plan for set
tlement of the Indonesian problem
was acceptable to him.
The plan which may 60 before
the U. N. Security Council tomor-
row calls for creation of an inde-
pendent United States of 1ndonesia
by April /, 1850. 1t stipulates the
establishment of the new sovereign
government be preceded by pro-
gressive withdrawal Of Dutch troops
from Indonesia.
Mr.. Sjahrir said the mere passing
of a resolution by the Security
Council would be of no value unless
there was guarantee that the
plan would be put into effect.
He said he was especially inter-
ested in the Asian conference on
Indonesia which opens tomorrow at
Allahabad, India, attended by repre-
sentatives of 20 nations.
Il hope it will not be a mere
demonstration but can bring forth
something concrete" Mr.. Sjahrir
said. He declared he had always
advocated q concerted Asian effort
to settle Asian problems.
Talks With Drees.
Mr. Sjahrir talked with Prime
Minister Drees briefly yesterday.
The Indonesian was allowed to
come from Pradat in North Suma-
ira where he was prisoner of the
Dutch.
He said when he left Pradat,
Indonesian President Soekarno and
Foreign Minister Agus Salim were
still held behind barbed wire barri-
cades. They were confined to a
house and yard encircled by wire
fence and guarded by troops, he
said.
Mr.. Sjahrir himself has been
given freedom of movement, and has
not been required to pledge to re-
frain from political activity. He is
socialist and a nationalist. but
co-operated with Netherlands Indies
authorities in government before the
war, and at the same time has the
confidence OF Indonesian repub-
licans. He became prime minister
of the republic in 1945 when the
Dutch were negotiating for united
Indonesian government.
