Brituin's Responsibilities
G. Raymond Pruett.

The British government is being
severely challenged as a major power
in the free world. 1t is her responsibility
as leader of the free world to success
fully meet these challenges having peace
uppermost in her mind
The British government should do all
in her power to have the Suez controlled
by nations of the Middle East as we'll
as America and Britain. The British
have not lived up to the 1886 agreement
which specifically provides for the train
ing of an Egyptian army by the British
which would eventually take over the
control of the Suez. Here Is years later,
the army still has not been trained and
the British have not withdrawn.
The British and American Govern
ments should join hands with other
nations and go throughout Asia and

AL letters are subject to condensation.

When ! was old enough to observe the
paving OF any street, recall that M
street was macadamized. AS automo-
biles began to increase, serious bottle
neck developed on M street leading to
the old Aqueduct Bridge With the
opening Of Key Bridge in 1922 this con-
gestion was slightly relieved. That was
before the days of the Lincoln Memorial
Bridge, when there were only three
bridges across the Potomac River, High
way Bridge. Key Bridge and Chain
Bridge. Railroad bridge of course was
never used for ordinary traffic.
In those days. just as now. there was
tremendous amount of traffic through
M street. Georgetown merchants COM
planned it was detrimental to their busi-
ness. The city fathers talked of ways to
eliminate this bottleneck. About that
time boats were ceasing to operate on
the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
and there was talk of turning the canal
into a street which would have been
called L street. The present Freeway
was also discussed.
Sometime between World War and
"o1iO wal LIZ M SIICCt Was WlucueQ
to the present width by reducing the
wide sidewalks. Due to the amount of
excessive heavy hauling. it was very diff
cult to keep M street properly paved.
At the time of these improvements M
street was paved with very heavy con-
crete base and this was covered with
the present stone blocks This street
has held up very well under the heavy
traffic load. might also add that this
type of paving was and is still very ex-
pensive.

A Sacred Trust

The Zoning Commission now has under con-
sderation revised plan under which portion
OF the old Woodley estate, lying to the west of
TWenty-ninth street between Cleveland avenue
and Woodley road, would be rezoned to permit
apartment house construction. The revised plan is
probably less Objectionable than the original plan
Which was turned down last year. The owners of
the tract have sought to overcome the opposition
mat developed at that time from nearby resi-
&Rlts.
But the substance of this opposition remains,
and the substance is sound. The substance was
probably best described at the recent hearings
on the new plan by Joseph C. Grew, one of the
many property owners in the vicinity of the pro-
posed development.
Washington" he said, "is admittedly one
of the most beautiful cities in the world . We
feel, as all loyal Washingtonans feel, that the
preservation and enhancement of the beauty of
our cityiS sacred trust. The beauty and physical
character of Washington lie largely in two out
standing factors. One is the dignity and the
architectural nobility of its public buildings The
other is the beauty of its parks and woods and
non-commerclal1zed areas. Once commercializa-
ton is allowed to encroach upon those areas, the
ultimate fate of the city is sealed"
The issue, in other words, is whether such
encroachment is to begin in an area that is
zoned now to prevent it. No matter how skilfully
laid out, no matter how much is done to Shield"
by trees and shrubbery the apartment buildings
once the section is rezoned to permit such con-
struction, the irrevocable step has been taken
and there can be no turning back. A single
apartment house might not injure the area But
single apartment house will be the inevitable
forerunner of others The character of the neigh
borhood will change, and that change will lead
to other changes.
This new application to bring apartment con-
struction into the Woodley area should be turned
down by the Zoning Commission, which would
commit grievous mistake in approving it.

FumbIing With Atrocity Facts

1t is evident that there has been fumbling
somewhere with regard to reports of atrocities
In Korea. Either the fumbng has been done by
the Army colonel at Pusan who released the
shocking and controversial statement of Red
barbarities against our troops or it has occurred
here in Washington. If the colonel was right in
his summary of the situation, then the public
has been grossly misled by the Pentagon. Right
or wrong, the colonel was asking for trouble
when he released such an important document
before Washington had chance to see it.
Apparently the atrocity report was as much
OF surprise and shock to President Truman as
1t was to officials at the Pentagon and to the
public at large. Clarifcation from General
Ridgways headquarters in Tokyo has been slow
in coming despite urgent requests for an ex-
planation. Meanwhile, Colonel Hanley, war crimes
officer with the 9th Army, has told reporters that
he announced the figures because he thought
our men In Korea ought to know the truth. Of
course they ought to know the truth-and so
should the American people. But the truth should
first be carefully established and then 1t should
be given to the American people by top-level
authorities, not in the haphazard way in which
the Pusan report was released.
While 1t is not easy, of course to establish
the truth regarding enemy barbarsm at this
stage of the war Colonel Hanley's disclosures,
even If only partly based on known facts raise
the suspicion that our military higher-ups have
been holding back some disagreeable informa-
tion which the people ought to have. 1t is de-
ceptive to the public to be tod-as the latest
casualty report from the Pentagon states-that
only 1873 American prisoners of war are known
to have died Officials explain that this is the
number of cases in which identity of the dead
has been sufficiently verified to warrant notihca-
tion of next of kin. They admit that lot of other
American victims Of Red massacres have not been
identified and hence are not included in the
total of known" victims. Why eliminate from
the missing gin-action reports the vital fact that
other soldiers, as yet unidentified, are known to
have died at the hands of their captors?
Whether Colonel Hanley's figures eventually
are confirmed or denied, his mistake in giving out
an unauthorized report will have a good result
If it produces more informative casualty reports
at the Pentagon Nothing is to be gained by
hiding bad news from the public. On the con-
trary, it is far better to keep the people advised
of the. truth, however revolving, than suddenly
to confront them with such a stark picture of
Red ruthlessness as has come from Pusan.

Romans in Iceland?

The theory which postulates that Romans
were in Iceland in 300 AID. is certain to be re-
sisted by some students of European migration to
the New World. So far it rests simply on the
notion that the discovery of three silver coated
bronze coins Is valid evidence of the actual physi-
cal presence of at least one Roman in the neigh
borhood in which those coins were found Prof
Fritz Heichelheim of the University of Toronto
is understood to believe that the little metal
tokens were "turied as an offering to the gods by
Roman who had turned seafarer upon his dis
charge from the army after the reign of the En-
peror Docletian." He may have substantial rea-
son for his belief but the lay public will have to
be shown.
1t long ago was established that coins may
move long distances by natural processes of ex-
change. Metal discs bearing the profile of Die
cletian undoubtedly circulated over all Europe
Passing from hand to hand and fEom province to
province or country to country they could reach
Iceland in the possession of an individual who
never heard of Rome. Eskimos and Indians al
most certainly had circled the Arctic zone CEN
turies prior to the beginning of the Christian era
There is nothing infeasible about the idea that
they were in touch with Europeans from whom
they could obtain Roman coins of more remote
reigns than Diocletian's
Iceland admittedly had been inhabited be-
fore the Scandinavians discovered" it about $50
AID. Irish Culdees preceded them, and it is con-
cevable that settlers from Britain likewise had
lived on the grassy shores of the island fiords,
perhaps Thousand years before the Vikings
penetrated the West or North Atlantic. The un-
known builders of Avebury and Stonehenge surely
were capable of such expansion, possibly as far
back as 1000 or 5000 BIC.
Prof Heichelheim knows all this and must be
willing to take it into account in developing his
theory of Roman visitation. If he can show by
geological data or by other satisfactory demon
stration that the buried coins "tie in" with the
age of Diocletian and veteran of Diocletians s
army, he will be adding an important new fact
to the history of the Western Hemisphere.

Old School Spirit

The Star recently carried a picture
on which the caption read. in part,
Musical Cake-At Cardoza (CentraD
High School :"
1t seems to me there is no reason to
carry such an Identification. II the
school now occupying the site at Thir-
teenth and Clifton streets is not able
to stand on its own merits, it should not
borrow from the honored occupant of
the past
Central was a leader among high
schools in the District for many years
and its traditions, glories and fine
achievements belong only to Central
High School and have no right to be
associated in any way with any later
occupant of the site. The doors of
Central were closed in June, 1850, and
at that time Central, as a name, joined
the ranks of the illustrious past.
1t is hoped the editors and writer's
will not allow such an error to occur
again.
Thank you for the privilege of ex-
pressing my personal feeling on this

Free Boot for Congress

Read in the papers recently where
Representative Joe Martin and others
were going to make trip around the
world. AS just one voter. wonder why
so many trips are made by our Con-
gressmen and Senators to foreign lands.
Are they really necessary for investigat-
ing purposes or are they Just vacation
trips? If most Of the trips are made on
Army planes. then, of course. the gas Is
paid for by the taxpayers. No wonder SO
many people want to get into Congress
because of all the free things, such as
hair cuts. etc.

step OF the way.
Not only will you find that bargain seed
actually costs more from the very first, but
you'll soon discover it becomes an expen-
sive investment. Here's the proof: In the
following typical example, Northland Brand
is compared with bargain seed.
Purity termination per ID.
Northland 99.eo% 92.oo% S 81
Seed 'X' 9s.2s% $4,000 so
At first glance, Seed seX'' appears to be
the better buy. But what percentage of
seed from these two lots will actually groU?
Northland 90 900 x 92.OO% 81. 9O9o
Seed sX" 99.259o x $4,000 80. 3796
Now find the cost of the seed that grows:
NOrthland 81 .90=56.58t per lb.
Seed * 83.37=5e.97s per Id.
Yes, even at the beginning, the bargain
seed really costs 81 I more per pound
Good seed like Northland Brand, then,
represents true savings. And don't forget
how much more profit you'd realize from
the heavier yields, how much you'd save
by avoiding weed fighting program.
There are no bargains in seed, so plant
the best. Get selected seed of highest purity
and germination-Nort hland Brand. See
your Northrup King dealer.

Birdstoot Tretoil Scores
High in Feeding Value

Feeding trials conducted by the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, Solano County,
Cal, attest to the feeding value of birdsfoot
trefoil. In this trial, sheep were grazed on
separate one acre plots of birdsfoot and
ladino clover. When the sheep were slaugh-
tered, the following facts were obtained:
Lddino Birdsfoot
Dressing percentages 1919 1880
Carcass grades:
Choice 3O% 500
Good ........ .7O% 41%
These results clearly indicate that birds
foot trefoil compares favorably with ladino,
crop noted for its high feeding value.
no bEocf
AS far as can be determined, birdsfoot
neither bloats nor scours. 1t requires less
moisture than ladino and grows on both
acid and moderate alkali soils.
For information on the use of birdsfoot
trefoil under your growing conditions, ask
your Northrup King dealer.

You save on seed

When you plant Northland Brand clovers
and alfalfas, you don't have to SOW more to
offset hard seed count. In fact, you can
plant less per acre and still get thicker,
quicker stands than ever before.
