Population
Continued From First Page)

lcrease in housing was from two
isources-lnore new units being
built, and more older units being
cut up into smaller units.
A study of population figures
for the District itself disclosed
these facts:
The outer areas of the Southeast
showed the greatest development,
with the population jumping from
l32,8I6 to 108.725. Other fringe
areas showed a growth of from
81, ,040 to 1926 for the Northwest
and from 1886 to 1921 for the
Northeast
When all areas in each section
of Washington were considered,
the Southeast again had the edge,
with a growth during the 10 years
of more than $4,000.
Capital Transit Co. officials
said their figures on passenger in
creaSes also showed the largest on
lines to and from the Southeast.
The Northwest, by far the most
populous section. grew from 406,-
l21 in 1910 to 417.471 in 1850. BY
contrast. the Southwest. least pop
ulous area, grew only by 1888.
The Northeast's growth, again
with the outlying areas adding the
most. went up from a 1910 total OF
143 .699 to a total of 194,620 in
1850.
The largest census tract in the
District in 1940-bounded by
North Capitol street, Gallatin
street, Madison street and Geor-
Igia avenue-had fallen to eighth
place by 1850, although its popu-
lation dropped only 131. from
1929 to 13,147.
But it could not approach such
booming sections as that along
the Potomac River southwest Of
ST. Elizabeths Hospital, which
grew from 1879 to 36,626 to be-
come the largest in the District
Following on that areas heels
was a section bounded by the
Anacostia River, the District line
and East Capitol street in North
east Washington, which grew from
12,379 to 36,623.
These two, plus third bounded
by East Capitol street, the Ana
costa River, Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and the District line, ac-
counted for a growth of 77.061.
The latter area showed the big
gest jump-from 5,976 counted
there in 1910, to 29.546 in 1850.
No Change in Georgetown.
An area once designated as one
of the most congested in the Dis
trict had fallen of in population,
but it still was crowded compared
with the space covered.
1T is bounded by North Capitol
street. Massachusetts, avenue,
Florida avenue and Seventh
street, and covers three census
tracts. 1t has dropped 2,805 in
population since 1910, but there
still are 29,269 people living there
Georgetown's population re-
manned about the same.
OF the Northwest's approx
mately 1900 growth, some 1000
was evident in the Wisconsin ave-
nue area north of Georgetown
and running to the west along
Arizona and Massachusetts, ave-
nues and to the east along Con-
necticut avenue. The many apart
ment and other multiple dwellings
in that area were believed respon-
sible for the growth.

Was 1t an Action by the Board?

If the Board of Education gave its approval
to the secret circulation of questionnaires among
certain school officials, soliciting anonymous
comment on the Superintendent of Schools,
The Star regrets it. For it can only have the
effect OF lowering the Board of Education in the
estimate Of the community, not to mention the
personnel of the school system
If the Board of Education did not give It's
approval to this devious device its members
should disclaim the QUESTIONABLE and all its
implications, fix responsibility and insist upon
full and public explanation OF what was done
and why.
Regret that the QUESTIONABLE received pub
hclty has been expressed by the vice president
OF the board and chairman of its personnel COM

Where then is our hope? Many Of the

in Germany. Austria and Japan-advo-

states. These people are face to face
with the Russians and know them bet

safer to be disarmed-and hence not to

they believe that Russia would agree to
a Germany united under a government
chosen In free election supervised by
U. N. observers-although 1t would Ger
tainly be Communist government

arming Germany

The facts of the situation are these:
For many years Mr.. Mann and his clique
had control of the county government.
During that time the schools were in
ferior and the level of county services
was little short of disgraceful. The tax
system was inequitable and operated to
the disadvantage of the homeowners and
the occupants of residential property. To
improve conditions Arlington citizens be-
gan to band together on non-partisan
basis. These thousands of rank-and-f file
citizens, united in common fight for
better local government, constitute the
Non-partisans of today. The unself1sh-
ness with which these citizens work for
their ideal of a modern and well-gov-
erned Arlington in which to live and
rear their children apparently is beyond

Mr.. Mann cited certain statistics pur-
porting to show that the Nom partisans
are declining in strength. He failed to

there were nine County Board candi-
dates instead of three as in the two pre-
ceding elections. He also neglected to
indicate how far both machine candi-
dates ran behind both Non -partisans.
