with porches and leaf covered
lawns is a bit of the America
which so many Washingtonians
from the hinterlands remember as
the scenes of their childhood.
I'm the old days." says Howard
8. Fisk, who has been Takoma
Park correspondent for The Star
for more than 40 years. there
used to be two suburbs open for
Washingtonians who wanted
houses with lawns and porches.
The first was Chevy Chase: the
other was Takoma Park. A lot of
people. especially employees Of the
Department of Agriculture. who
| looked them both over decided
that Takoma Park was just as nice
and it was lot cheaper"
Although most of their children
have moved away, those early set
tiers from Agriculture have left
their mark in nursery trees, wis
taria vines and trim gardens. And
Takoma Park is still popular with
men from the extension services
in the corn belt newly arrived at
Agriculture.
Takoma Park was started by
Benjamin Franklin Gilbert, who
bought 80 acres there for subdi-
vision in 1888. He kept adding
to it. Mr.. Gilbert had made and
lost fortunes in real estate, and
while Takoma Park, his last ven
ture, was successful one, it did
not make him rich. One of his
early ventures was the construc-
ton of the houses on G place, the
interesting downtown block be-
tween Ninth and Tenth and G and
II streets NV. ezs~A ae &
Boundaries Ignored.
Mr.. Gilbert lived in the old Hill
man House which stood on North
Capitol street in the now open
space between the Capitol and
Union Station. He asked some of
his friends there to suggest a
name for his new subdivision.
Mrs. Orlando D. Sunny. one of
the guests. suggested that Indian
word for High Up-Near Heav-
en-" She suggested that it be
spelled with a *" to avoid con-
fusion with Tacoma. Wash. That's
how Takoma Park got it's name.

Court Approves
Puy Hike Awurd

Trenton, N. ]. (LPA)--The NJ
Telephone Co. has lost the first
round IN its court fight to block a
pay increase for 1900 workers,
represented by the Communications
Workers.
The State Superior Court has up
held an arbitration award granting
a $3.50 weekly increase, retroactive
to April 20, at the same time up
holding the constitutionality of the
state law barring strikes in public
utilities. The company promptly
filed notice Of appeal and asked a
stay to block the payments.
Gov. Alfred f. Driscoll seized"
the company March / to avert
strike by Division 55 Of the CWA.
The union had tried in vain to get
the company to negotiate, and a
nationwide strike was narrowly
averted. Under state law, after the
seizure fhe issues went to arbi-
tration.
The award means $3.50 more a
week for employees with more than
"a years service. Present scales
run from $50 to s52 after eight
years for 40-hour week on city
exchanges, and from $33 to SAT for
operators in smaller communities.

Food Industry
Batting Congress,
Senator Declares

Washington (LPA)-An investi
cation into current profiteerint
will be opened soon by Sen. Guy
Gillette Cd, Iowa.)
"Hoarding is a vicious thing
Gillette declared on August 10
"Yet boarding is only part of the
cause of the price spiral.
'The food processing industries
are deliberately batting the Con
gress as if to dare them to slap or
price controls.
"The profiteer took advantage OF
the situation in food prices just as
much as or more than the hoarder
Certainly no one is boarding bread
yet prices have advanced from IL
to &c per loaf, or milk which has
gone up 1c quart or more, OF
gasoline and fuel oil which have
advanced in price.
"Few people could hoard coffee
at current prices; any boarding in
this instance; is by the coffee pro-
ducers withholding coffee from the
market in the hope of still higher
prices. Ingredients Of oleomargar-
inc have advanced but little, yet
since the repeal of the tax by the
Congress retail margarine prices
have risen ya nidjv
"The profiteer has taken advant-
age of the war situation by erasing
the markings on canned goods and
substituting higher prices. Consum-
ers everywhere are reporting cases
of two and three price rises on var
ious items of merchandise while
on the shelves of stores"
Newspapers and food dealers
throughout the country are asking
consumers to join anti-hoarding
clubs, Gillette said. When they join
they are sent a red, white and blue
sticker for the window of their
house or car. r.
The Senator proposed that the
processing, wholesaling and retail
ing food trades also take pledge
not to profiteer. They can be given
stickers, he declared, saying that
they belong to the "We Will Not

Sen. Taft's Attack
On Mobilization
Bill FizzIes Out

Washington (LPA) - Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft Or, Ohio) took the
floor Aug. IL to make much
heralded speech against the home
front mobilization bill approved by
the Senate Banking committee. He
was promptly taken apart by two
members Of his own party who
support the bill.
Sen. Irving Ives Or, N.Y., de.
Tended the measure as reported
Taft had insisted earlier in the day
that 'Tf we were engaged in {
third World War, / would not hes,
itate for a moment to grant every
power here sought. (. The ques.
ton is whether any emergency ex,
lists today"
Retorted Ives, GAS everyone
should recognize, Korea may vel
be only the first symptom of Z
whole rash of Soviet-sponsored ag
gressions. 1t is this very impossi
bility of accurate prediction tha
makes failure to prepare for an!
eventuality frightful gamble"
And Morse, interrupting Ives
speech, asserted that "The chips
are down on the table Of interna
tional relations in the world.
There is only one language the
Russians leaders understand now
total mobilization" of industry anc
rnanpower Of the US.
"It makes me sick In the pit oi
my stomach" Morse said, to see
"the greed that has been manifest
ed in this country since the start
of the Korean conflict" He wanted
to know, and Ives answered in the
affirmative, that there was enough
power granted the President in the
bill to bring about total mobiliza-
ton on the home front.
Taft insisted that price controls
just wouldn't work, that they re-
suit in black markets and evasions
of rationing regulations, that it
would take perhaps 100000 federal
employees to administer controls.
Reversing the old Taft argument
that killing OPA would end price
spirals, the Monday morning quar-
terback said soberly that 81 am

er credit will be enough to bring

prices down right now, the Ohio
Republican insisted. He said that
the shortage Of steel for munitions
which is anticipated by the end of
1850 can be averted by requiring
stiff down payment on autos,
which would price the middle-in-
come family out of the new car
market, and would cut in half the
present rate of auto purchases.
The Ohioan wants to knock out
the section setting up machinery
dealing with labor disputes (Which
Ives and Morse defended).
Also, Taft in a generous spirit
of compromise is willing to vote
for the wage-price-rationing Sec
tions, as long as the controls can't
be invoked except by resolution
of Congress.
Replied Ives: adoption Of such
a proposal would impair the effec-
tiveness of such controls as we may
now authorize the Executive to
impose at once; it would serve as
IA handicap to efforts to curb in
flation; it would place with the
Congress vital administrative res

should never assume in time OF

tive Of the capacity to act in the

Geneva (LPA)-Two three-year

cause the IRO is devoted to taking
the horror and misery out of the
word; to taking the potential re-
fusewaste material = that World
War III made out of millions of
lives and giving them meaning and
purpose again.
The IRO-child of the United Ma
tions-has resettled 100000 dis
placed persons who refused to be
repatriated; who were afraid of
persecution behind the Iron Cur
tain and in the countries from
which they fled; has repatriated
10000 back to the countries they
left in fear or by compulsion five
to ten years ago; has assisted 600;x
600; given care and maintenance to
100000, and extended services to
another 100000.
In the process it has operated 36
ships-one of the largest peace
time civilian fleets ever assembled.
At least one IRO ship leaves Eu-
rope every day for ports in any
one of 81 different countries and
dependencies from Australia to the
Americas, from the China coast to
the Horn.

awaken their spirits and realize
their dreams.
When the IRO was formed, most
of the dreams were of resettle-
ment. 1t turned out that almost all
those who were going home had
already gone when IRO started in
1947. The organizations main job
became resettlement-finding open
doors throughout the world for
over million marooned, jobless,
nationless refugees. By thrusting
its tentacles into almost every in
habited section of the globe, IRO
has found homes, so far, for three
fourths of the 1947 multitude.
The organization has settled
many of the refugees through mass
migration schemes. For many, how

Morse Demands
Rail Heads Settle
Row With Unions

Washington (LPA)--Sen. Wayne
Morse Or, Ore.) called on the heads
lof the nations railroads August
to come to Washington and work
out the present dispute with the
unions that is endangering nation-
all security.
Morse read telegram from the
president of the two railway unions
Involved. The wire, sent to Pres
lident Truman on August a, declar-
ed the dispute involving 100000
railroad workers "is reaching a SER

the government "take possession
of and operate the railroads in the
United States until such time as
this dispute is settled in fairness
to the rights of our members"
In debate with Sen. Forrest Dom
nell Or, MOI, Morse opposed legis-
lation for compulsory arbitration

ly what the carriers want" he de-
clared. "They have been waiting in
the hope that compulsory arbitra-
tion would be passed" -

his plea. Both the brotherhoods and

now "in the public interest"
President R. o. Hughes of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and
President w. P. Kennedy of the

pointed out that the dispute has
been going on for II months.
"The serious international crisis
which confronts our country" they
said, "is being used by the carriers
as an opportunity for misrepre-
senting our position in this dis
pute and for prejudicing the public
mind as to our rights under the

Democrat Heads Hold Falc of State
 hood Bill, Report

WASHINGTON, jP)- Senator Taft of Ohio. the Republican pol icy leader, said today that wheth- CT the Senate acts on the Hawaii and Alaska statehood bills is up to the Democratic leadership.
 After a meeting of the COP policy committee, which he heads, Taft told reporters there are only five or six "Vital' measures upon which Congress must act before final adjournment. There are a number of other lesser measures that could be handled, he added.
 Reporters asked if these inclu- ded the Alaska and Hawaii state hood bills, which have been ap- proved by the House.
 I'd rather not comment upon them" Taft replied. "It's up to Senate majority leader Lucas in the last analysis. We can only CO., operate by keeping our boys from talking"
 Lucas has not announced any complete list of bills upon which he plans to demand action before adjournment. But he said today he is going to drive for adjourn ment by July 31.
 Any bills not acted upon die at the end of this session.

Bill May Release Alaska Lands
 For Settlement

WASHINGTON, (P- Delegate Bartlett D-Alask0 said today he hopes a bill to authorize clasSifi-
 cation of public lands in Alaska may speed release of several hun dred thousand acres withdrawn from settlement by the interior depart some years ago.
 The House public lands com- mittee yesterday approved a bill to permit the secretary of the in terior to classify all vacant and unreserved public lands in the Territory for use and occupation.
 Bartlett explained that the in- terior department wants authori- ty to go into public land ahead of homesteaders, to find out if that land is best suited for grazing, farming, timbering or some other use, and to classify it accordingly.
 Bartlett said the department apparently feels prospective homesteader would have a better chance for success if experts first examine the soil, climber and oth- CT features of his land.
 The delegate said the depart ment withdrew large areas of public domain from homesteading in anticipation of farm settlement legislation. But, said Bartlett. this legislation still is before Congress and probably won't get anywhere this year.
 Bartlett said the classification bill contains a provision that would allow settlers to go into the land they have chosen 18 months after they are ready to move, whether or not the depart ment has classified that land.
 He observed that government lands in Alaska are the only part of the public domain where class ification is not done.
