Starting All Over Again

Uncertain conditions of this era OF economic
controls may cause further delay in Washington's
already long-delayed slum clearance program,
but 1t is good idea to be ready to start when the
proper time comes 1t is on that basis that the
Commissioners were justified in asking the
Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency to
allot $170185 to the penniless District Redevelop-
ment Land Agency This money is to be used for
surveys and planning. Actual construction may
have to be postponed in Difference to national
defense needs.
The fund allotment can be made under au-
thority of the Housing Act Of 1850. Although
Congress has refused to make direct appro-
priation to the District Redevelopment Land
Agency since it's creation in 1946, an amendment
to the Housing Act permits the indirect financing
of the agency's operations. Up to now the agency
has existed largely on paper, and even the paper
was bought with private funds. It's chairman,
Mark Lansburgh, has kept the agency supplied
with stationery and secretarial service. In the
meantime the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission drew up plans for the redevelop-
ment of Marshall Heights, in the eastern corner
of the District but Congress ordered this project
dropped.
It Is now necessary to start all over again.
The planning group has proposed three other
areas for slum clearance and housing redevelop-
ment, one In the Southwest section OF the city,
one in the Southeast and one in the Northwest.
With the money sought from the Federal housing
appropriation it will be possible to make detailed
surveys of these areas with view to developing
concrete plans for each project The money. in
addition, will provide the land agency with a
staff, which it now lacks, and with necessary
office supplies It will take year or so to COM
plete the preliminary planning BY that time
housing officials will be in better position to
Judge whether world conditions will permit going
ahead with the next steps-purchase of land,
razing of buildings and construction of new
homes. In the meantime no time should be lost
In preparing new plans for another attack on
Washington's much-publicized slum problem.

Lobor's a Big Factor in Tuesdays Vote

theory that generally, and particularly
in years when there is no presidential
contest, it is the Democratic voter who
doesn't come out. BY and large, they
say, it is the working man who doesn't
go to the polls. They claim that in elec-
ton after election, the Republican vote
total remains fairly steady, while the
Democratic poll shows wide fluctuations.
Mr.. keenan, and Mr.. Kroll say further
that it is doubtful If Republican ever
would be elected if everybody in the
country cast vote. That is why they
place unusual emphasis on registration
and getting their people to the polls.
In the key States, such as Ohio, they
expect a larger vote in this off-year
election than there was in 1948.
Mr.. Keenan, says that he is satisfied
with the way the campaigns are going;
that his people are working hard in the
East, Midwest and Far West. Two years
ago, he adds, many of our people
thought the cause (of President Truman
was hopeless" Others played it cau-
tiously, hoping to jump on the Dewey
bandwagon which seemed certain Of
victory.
BY way of prediction, both Mr.. Kee-
nan and Mr.. Kroll say that Senator
Taft, their No. target nationally. will
be beaten by their man, jumping Joe'
Ferguson. the State auditor. They'll even
bet you modest amount they are right.
Elsewhere, the Labor leaders predict
that the Democrats will defeat Senators
Donnell in Missouri, Millikin in Colo
RADIO, Capehart of Indiana, Hickenlooper
of Iowa and perhaps Wiley in Wisconsin.
They think Representative Helen Ga
hagan Douglas will win out over Repre-
sentative Nixon in the California Senate
battle. They hold that Senator Lucas is
safe in Illinois, and even that Pennsyl-
vania voters will return Senator Myers.
Mr.. keenan, says he looks for the
Democrats to add 10 or IL in the House
and three or four in the Senate to their
already imposing majorities.
This is a far more optimistic picture
for the Democrats than is painted by
most so-called neutral observers. But
Messrs. Keenan, and Krol were among
the few who forecast Truman victory
two years ago. In any event, the extent
Of their political activity in the presi-
dental campaign two years hence may
be geared to their success in the elections
next Tuesday.
Voluntary political collections by both
the AFL and CIO have been larger than
in 1948. The AFL reports total contribu-
tions to its league so far as in excess of
$500,000. compared to $685. 900 two years
ago. The CIO collected $3.50, 900 in 1948.
So far they have received about $780, 900
from members. These figures do not re-
fleet contributions which many unionists
are making directly to the campaign
funds of their candidates.

The United States for obvious reasons, should

Trucks and Route !

Your editorial entitled keep the
Trucks Of" is interesting but obviously
not written by resident Of the Route
area. It so happens that there are
residential areas along this route, as well
as plenty of service stations"
These residents. together with the
motorists who must use the highway for
business or pleasure, are constantly an
noyed by the noise and confusion caused
by large trucks trying desperately to
make time through slow-moving city
traffic.
It would seem that considerable more
damage to highway would result from
the stop-and-go driving required of these
trucks in city traffic than would result
in driving on an open highway. In addi-
ton, it would seem more economical and
convenient to repair damage done to an
open highway than that done to
heavily travelled city street.
To keep the trucks on Route seems
to be high price for the residents of that
area to pay merely to preserve the me-
mortal atmosphere of the Shirley high
way"
From the truck drivers point of view.
1t is relatively certain that he would
tolerate the temporary dearth of service
stations for II miles, since he may fill
up with fuel at cheaper price in the
District and also save considerable time
in by-passing the city Of Alexandria.

@. Who has the authority to pardon
prisoners?-S. A. F.
A. The President of the United States
has unlimited pardoning power. Thir-
teen States give the power to the gov
ernor, while in the other States pardon
boards more or less share this power.
Cases of treason or Impeachment are
often exempted from the pardoning
power.
Q. Who was the first American to be
decorated with the Order of the White
Elephant?-F. P.
A. This distinction belongs to the
author, Thomas w. Knox. In 1877 he
began world tour which included a visit
to the King of Siam. His recommended
tions resulted in the adoption of system
OF education modelled on American con-
cepts. For his book, '"The Boy Travellers
in the Far East" Knox received the
Order of the White Elephant. Knox was
the first American to be so honored.
@. How did Letterman Hospital get
its name?-C. w.
A. This institution was built in 1898
and named in honor Of Jonathan Let
terman, Medical Director of the Army
of the Potomac. One of the finest Off
GERS of the Civil War. Letterman de-
signed the pavilion type of hospital used
with notifications in many countries.
