Burke Residents Wonder as Appraisers Start Work

Five real estate men forded
the creek at the entrance to
Mason Hirst's Burke (Va.) farm
and parked beneath the big shade
trees surrounding the main house.
They were the appraisers en-
|ployed by the Government to- put
a price on the 4,500 acres to be
acquired for Washington's new
auxiliary airport. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hirst's 80-acre farm was the first
viewed as the appraisal work
started yesterday
And like most other people
there abouts who stand to lose
their homes. the Hirsts are anxi-
fous to find out just how much
the Government thinks their
their place is worth.
"Just think" lamented Mrs.
Hirst. after the appraisers called
her to make an appointment,
cit is the one place that we
never would put a price on"
Mr.. Hirst is in the real estate
business. They have a residence in
Annandale and other properties In
Fairfax County.
But this is the place Mason
wanted to retire to-" she con-
tinued.
Worked At Renovation.
When the Hirst's bought the
two-story hilltop frame house in
1941, all the floors had rotted.
Groundhogs had nested in the
kitchen. They meticulously re-
placed the decayed wood and
made the house a place they
were proud to call home. They
have been using the Burke resi-
dence only in the summer, but
Mrs. Hirst said they planned to
live there the year around, begin
ming this winter. They just had a
mechanical water pump installed.
You just can't put a price
on all the work we've put in this
place. Look at those trees-how
can you value them?' she asked
Five-Month Job.
How many homes can be visited
in one day. the appraisers don't
know But they figure it will take
them the better part of five
months to finish the job.
The appraisers have a word of
consolation for the anxious home
owners.
"Our instructions from the Gov
ernment are to give the home
owners the benefit of the doubt
anytime we are undecided about
a value" said r. L. Kane, Alex
andria real estate man who is
one Of the five appraisers.
The others are Selden WASH
ington, of Alexandria. Charles
Smith. of Arlington, Richard B.
Hall of Washington. and Edward
K. Uhler, of Fairfax County.
Mr.. Kane said there are 81
houses within the site and about
140 different property owners. Be-
fore the appraisers finish, they
will look UP comparable sales,
measure house. cube them. figure
reproduction cost at present-day
prices, deduct depreciation and
walk over every acre that the
Government proposes to take. Each
of the estimated 140 property
owners will be visited.

On hand was John T. Pace o1

the march. Chairman Wood

Pace had asked to repeat testi-

testimony has been printed in the
Congressional Record and a
Washington newspaper printed
excerpts from it several weeks ago
Mr.. Pace was slated to testify
yesterday. but was delayed in
reaching Washington.
Suppression Charged.
The public hearing apparently
stemmed from a Republican
charge that Democrats had sup
pressed Mr.. PAGES testimony be-
cause it reflected creditably on
Gen. MacArthur's handling of the
bonus uprisings.
Gen. Macarthur was Army Chief
of Staff when the thousands o1
World War I veterans swarmed
into Washington to demand i'm
mediate payment of a soldiers
bonus. When trouble broke out
Gen. Macarthur called out reg
ular troops on orders from Presi-
dent Hoover to quell rioting.
Meanwhile the committee made
little progress yesterday in finding
out anything about the Marylanc
Committee for Peace, and any
connection with Communist Party
programs.

at the Baltimore Institute of Musi

Red Chinese Borrow
Cartridges From Dutch
And Shoot Them Down
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CENTRAL FRONT, Korea, Feb
16.-The full story of the death o.
the Dutch commander came bacl
from the front yesterday.
He was shot down with many
of his staff in his own command
post and with his own ammuni.
ton by nearly 400 Chinese Red.
masquerading as South Korean
soldiers seeking cartridges.
Death of 1t. Col. N. P. N. der
Ouden was announced Wednesday
by an Allied division with which
his volunteer battalion served.
Yesterday Dutch 1t. Tinue de
Haan. the colonel's intelligence
officer and survivor of the
treacherous Red attack, told the
story to American officers.
Dressed in CT Uniforms.
The Chinese, dressed in cap
tured CT clothing and acting like
South Korean soldiers. approached
the Dutch command post at dusk.
They aroused no suspicion, as
one of them explained in English
that the group was out of am
munition and begged to be given
more 80 we can return to battle. u
The colonel ordered the men
to be issued cartridges. The mas
querading Reds walked back few
yards and loaded their guns.
Then they turned and opened
fire on the astonished Dutch. Col.
den Ouden went down almost with
the first volley. In a few seconds
many of his staff were killed.
Signal Other Troops.
Dutch soldiers made a scatter
ing return fire.
Other Chinese in the raiding
party set the torch to a pile of
brush they had gathered during
their wait.
The flames were a signal to
other Chinese lurking back in the
darkness.
Seconds later, 1t. de Ham re-
lated. mortar shells crashed on
the command post. They landed
so close that some of the maraud-
ing Chinese were killed by their
own fire. But the rest made good
their retreat.

Political Comments
By PRENTIs I. FRAZIER

of democracy that will be a COM
mon endowment, created by a
common contribution and made
lasting by common love of right
and justice in which all Ameri-
cans will share.
Tt is possible that we are over
optimistic in our hopes for a
fuller and better life. In the light
of recent facts brought to public
attention by Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota, telling
of the ill-treatment of Negro
Guardsmen at Camp Rucker, Ala
bama, it is highly probable that
we are. The shameless treatment
accorded those Negroes, while only
another instance of what has all
happened al along to Negroes in
the deep south, will not react fav-
orably to Americans elsewhere
around the world. The world will
never accept Americas democracy
so long as it is not applied in
practice in America.
The American people need a
change in the personnel of govern
ment. The Democratic party which
has blundered the nation into
three wars in a ingle generation
has been in power too long.
Throughout its tenure in office, it
has been and is now. controlled
by the south, a section of the ma
ton which has never believed in
honesty, decency, or equality of
opportunity It's Jim Crow laws
and ideas have reached far be-
yond the borders of America and
has created doubt in the minds
of the peoples of the rest of the
world as to the sincerity of Amer
lean democracy. With the nation
today facing it's greatest need for
internal unity with what could be-
come total all out war against
Communist aggression threaten
ing the security of the world it
still persists in its out-moded ira
ditions of racial supremacy, dis
elimination and segregation and
all the factors that make for dis
cord and confusion. If the Ameri-
can people are alert to the need
of peace and unity within our own
borders and with the rest of the
world, 1852 should be the end of
the Democrats party's regime in
power.
