BIudensbure's Dilemma

We wish to commend you most highly
for your Editors Note to the letter,
June 20, from q Riverdale Homeowner,
regarding the floods at Bladensburg's
Peace Cross.
We, the Mayor and Town Council Of
Bladensburg, have done everything
humanity possible to bring to our Con-
gresSmen the Importance Of curing this
had recent conferences with Represent
alive Sasscer, Senator O'Conor and Sen
ator Butler. and we are convinced of the
deep sincerity of these men who have
promised to do their utmost to help
effect the necessary Federal appropria-
tions which will correct this deplorable
situation.
In the event of atomic attack, which
we have long been advised can happen,
we may well shudder to think of the.
tragedy, the confusion, and the help
lessneSs that would prevail when the
main highways are under impossible
water.
The earnestness and fighting ability
Of the aforementioned Congressman is
beyond question, but we realize that the
voice Of the press can be highly po-
tent factor in bringing to the eyes Of
other Congressman the necessity of Ger
tain expenditures.
If the Appropriations Committee would
visit this flooded area subsequent to
any Of our floods they would be appalled,
at the results. The flood waters cover
a much larger area than that pictured
in the newspapers. Beyond the main
street area are homes of people who
have had water 6 to IL inches high in
their living rooms; overtaxed sewers
have backed up and glutted the streets
with filth, and the possibility Of ty-
phus epidemic is not beyond the realm
OF possibility.
We thank you again for publicizing an
extremely clear explanation of the po-
litical side Of this most vital issue.
The Town Of Bladensburg,
Vincent j. McCarron. Mayor.
Your excellent explanatory note. on
the Peace Cross floods. is fine as far as
1t goes. But you don't get us any farther
along towards dry highway then the
gastropodian army engineers who wish
to make sure that George Washington's
ghost can pole bateau clear up to
Bladensburg.
You cannot slop over the Atlantic
Ocean by dredging the Anacostia chan
mel. But there is way. and relatively
simple. inexpensive one, whereby we can
run cars dry past Peace Cross. and 1t
does not require any $4,000 survey to
put it over.
Let three or four-foot diameter ce-
ment sewer tile be laid side by side cross
wise Of the present road for 200 yards
past the cross. Cover these tile with
cement fill, topped with road surfac-
ing. This will raise the highway four
or more feet above its present level. and

Board Studies Shift
OF Package Licensee
To Central Avenue

The Alcoholic Beverage Con.
troll Board today has under con.
sideration the request of Seymour
Wilen to transfer his license fol
a package store from 221 Fourth
street S.W., to 5581 Central av-
enue Sc.
Hearings on the transfer were
closed yesterday with arguments
by attorneys for both sides.
George B. Parks. attorney fol-
the residents in the Central av.
enue area who are protesting the
transfer, told the board to forget
the financial interests of Mr.
IWilen and of Maurice Goldberg
who owns liquor store across the
street. but in Capitol Heights, Md.
and to think only of the welfare
of the residents of the area who
do not want another liquor store
in their neighborhood.
Attorney David Blanden, who is
Ia brother-in-law Of Mr.. Goldberg,
said the granting of the license
would create a price war which
would do neither dealer any good
He conceded liquor is selling for
about 81 a fifth more in Mary
land than it is in the District.
Mr.. Goldberg denied from the
witness stand that he had any
thing to do with a reported offer
of $4.500 to William e. Bibbs.
5426 B street Sc, to stop cir
|culating petitions in favor of the
transfer Mr.. Goldberg denied
he had spent any money in trying
to stop the transfer.
Nathan Lubar, attorney for Mr.
Wilen, told the board the pro-
posed location is in a shopping
center and is ideal for a package
store because there is no other
one in the District within a mile.
He said petitions presented to the
board favoring the transfer were
signed by 10 per cent of the resi-
dents in the Central avenue area.

Europe and that many thousands
Of others are registered for emil
grafton. This expression Of desire
to leave the European continent
applies not only to Jews in South
ern and Eastern Europe but in
Western Europe as well.
The results of emigration and
mass-extermination have been so
striking that today there are con-
siderably fewer Jews in Europe
than there were in 1850. A CEN
fury ago, according to the survey,
100000 Jews lived in Europe,
whereas the number in 1850 was
only 2,750,O0O.
This has occurred, it was point
ed out, despite the fact that the
number of Jews in Europe more
than doubled in the years between
1850 and 1914. In reality, when it
is considered that in the years
185O-1914 over 100000 Jews emf
grated from Europe and that 80
per cent of the Jews in America
in 1914 were immigrants from Eu-
rope, European Jewry virtually
tripled in this period.
The rise in European Jewish
population was in line with the
increase of the total population
of Europe from 255, OO0, 900 in 1850
to 47O,0OO,O0O in 1914. However,
the Jewish surplus of births over
deaths was higher proportionately.
The Jewish emigration from Eu-
rope in this period also paralleled
a general movement of peoples
from Europe. From 1850 to 1914,
over 100000 persons left Eu-
rope for newer lands.
Thereafter, however, the paral-
lei ends. In the 1914-39 period, the
total population of Europe in
tcontinued on Pose 1870

Vast Jewish Emigration From
Europe Tabulated

ter of Jewish life, the WJCongress
report revealed, pointing out that
SO per cent of the Jews of the
world lived in Europe in 1850 and
only 24.5 per cent one hundred
years later and adding that "the
major part of European Jewry is
now to be found in Soviet Russia,
separated and cut off from the
rest of the Jewish people"
"The share of European Jewry
in the life of the Jewish people,
and hence it's share in shaping the
destiny of world Jewry, has great
ly declined" the report concluded.
The survey was prepared by
Jacob Lestchinsky, noted Stats
tician and economist who is a
member of the WJCongress Insti-
tute of Jewish Affairs.
