Rent Controls Ended
lin CoImar Manor

Colmar Manor today became the
first town in Maryland to be de-
controlled from rent ceilings.
After a public hearing February
27. Mayor John N. Torvestad and
the Town Council certified to the
Housing Expediter that no hous-
ing shortage existed. The COM
munity. just over the District line
in Prince Georges County. has
population of between $500 and
1000 persons.
Action of the Government was
protested, however, by a town
resident, who contended to the
Housing Expediter that there had
not been sufficient notice of the
public hearing.
Mrs. A. l.. Stands, 3403 Thirty
seventh Street, said the lack of
notice was the reason there were
no protests at the public hearing.
In approving the petition for
rent decontrol. the Housing Ex-
pediter said, however, that post
ing of notices on poles through
out the town had been sufficient
notice.

The Navy is negotiating with
ship yards in advance Of actual
appropriations for its new $2.2
billion building program and
hopes to have the keels of a new
super aircraft carrier and an
atomic powered submarine laid by
December 81.
1--WE are going ahead with all
the preliminary work so that
when Congress gives us the money
there will not be one days delay
in the start of construction" a
key official said today.
The Navy's building program
also includes the conversion and
strengthening of six more Essex
class carriers in the 1852 fiscal
year, he disclosed. This work will
permit the 27,500-ton f1attops to
accommodate much faster and
heavier planes - aircraft which
are capable of carrying the atomic
bomb.
IL Large Carriers to Be Used.
Two such carriers were con-
verted In the 1949 fiscal year and
two more the following period.

Navy Begins Ship Program Without Funds

The original 1851 budget did not
allow for any further conversions
as the Defense Departments
economy program then was in
swing. However, one conversion
was allowed in each of the two
supplemental appropriations.
The Navy plans to operate IL
large aircraft carriers in the ac-
tive fleets during the 1852 fiscal
period. There will be the three
45,000-ton Midway class carriers
and the postwar constructed Essex
class Oriskany. The conversion
program then will allow for two
strengthened Essex class carriers
il. both Atlantic and Pacific re-
serve fleets.
Strengthening of the carriers
usually requires more than a year
but officials hope that when the
program calling for six such con-
versions gets underway the time
can be cut materially.

The big carrier generally takes
the place of a 65,000-to ton fiattop

years ago, but which was junked
after the hull had been laid.

modern devices will be incor-
porated in the new $235 million

Lowell MeNett:

When the whole sorry story Of
this political period-the We
Gotta = Get Acheson periods
written, the sorriest characters
in the tale may not be the Re-
publican politicians who con-
ceived the plot and tried desper-
ately to carry it out. The sorriest
characters may not even be
those Democratic politicians who
turned and ran from the Chi
nese noise makers and stinkpot
throwers. After all, they never
pretended to be brave. The sad
ones will be those who said. Il
know it's all all wrong. What
they say about Acheson isn't
true. He's an honest and patri-
otic man. He's a very able
Secretary Of State. But he has
lost the peoples confidence and
he should resign"
Because only one of two things
is likely to result from this mur-
derous political intrigue. One is
that Mr.. Acheson will survive it
and emerge recognized for what
he is-and for what many Of his
enemies privately admit he
is-a clear-headed. courageous
statesman who cannot be stam-
peded into action he considers
inimical to his country's best in

Doris FIeeson:

Current meetings between Brit
aims counter-espionage chief,
Sir Percy Sillitoe, and this coun-
try's espionage experts are not
the first of their kind.
Sir Percy has had other con-
ferences here with j. Edgar
Hoover and various United
States military intelligence heads
about what he once comfortably
described to a venturesome re-
porter as "a secret mission" It
was then made clear that that
was the end Of the interview.
Events subsequent to Sir
Percy's last visit suggest that
neither American nor British
public opinion now will be sat
isfied with this airy father
knows-best attitude. These in
clude the belated uncovering of
the German-born Klaus Fuchs
as an atom spy, the fight to
Russia OF a leading British
atomic scientist, Bruno Ponte-
corvo, and most recently the
disappearance Of two British
diplomats who had been sta
toned here.
Senators are commenting that
Gen. Eisenhower's allied army
should enjoy the support of al
lied intelligence forces, equally
as well equipped and CO.
ordinated. Their choice for
commander of such forces is of
course j. Edgar Hoover; Mr..
Hoover is the choice Of Senators

Gen. Smith, head Of Central
Intelligence, few to Tokyo to

What the democracies are be-
ginning to see, however, Is that
the centralized Russian system
is making valuable hauls while
they run their own shows sep
arately and rather casually.
The British here find it diff
cult to believe that its lost diplo-
mats. Donald Mclean and Guy
Burgess, are more than on a
spree from which they find it
difficult now to return. 1t fits
their temperaments and history
much more than spying, they
insist.
They describe Mr.. Burgess as
"a wild man." but insist he was
way down on the totem pole at
the Embassy. His principal re-
cent assignment was to look
after a visiting Royal Com
mission on the Abolition of
Capital Punishment. Mr.. Nc
Lean is a real puzzle; he was
thought to be serious and very
able, though it is denied that he
was made privy to any top secret
matters, following a breakdown
in Cairo recently.
As for diplomats generally,
they are signing for the age Of
innocence when the cause was

Lowell WeIlett:
The President Knows Better
He knows That Paying BIockmoiI Doesn't Pay
Sacrificing Acheson Wouldn't Stop CIomor

Or to put it differently, the
President knows what every
whodunit reader knows: Paying
blackmail doesn't pay. Once
you've paid the blackmailer,
you're in his clutches. You've
admitted your guilt and you
have to keep on paying as long
as you have anything to pay
with.
The blackmailers have made
this clear in the case Of Secre-
tary Acheson. When it seemed
they had about destroyed him
and they knew that some timid
Democrats were advising the
President to let him 60. curious
reporters asked whom they
would accept in his place. What
Democrat? They were nom
commital. What Republican
then-John Foster Dulles. Paul
Hoffman? No Republican
stooge," they said, ominously.
In other words, nothing the
President could do would satisfy
them. They didn't intend to be
satisfied.
All this was last week and
the week before. Today the
blackmailers would settle for
much less. Which, it seems Ger.
tain, they will have to do. The
President knows that any na.
tional unity bought with the
coin of cowardice would DO
phony and, at best, very brief.

Henry WcLen1ore:
Football undWur Often Won
In Last Minutes Of Action
Henry McLemore:

Just about the best football
game anybody ever saw was the
one played in Columbus. Ohio,
in the middle thirties, between
Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Notre Dame won it in the last
minute of play, after having its
ears beat off most of the time.
The first man to jump to his
feet in the press box was Damon
Runyon. and Mr.. Runyon was
never the man to. get overex-
cited.
I am quite sure it was the first
time he had ever yelled for q
football team.
The next man to leave his
typewriter was Grantland Rice.
Then Paul Calico got up. and
then Dave Walsh got up, and
then John Carmichael got UP.
and soon everybody in the press
box got up.
Standing up and yelling and
clapping.
Not writing q thing, so great
was the excitement.
Notre Dame won it with a pass
from Shakespeare to Miner, In
the end zone, with the clock
about to fold its hands.
Last night I heard the real
story of that game, and I think
1t is an interesting one-one
you'd like to hear.
It was told to me by Frank
Leahy, the Notre Dame coach.
There was a group of us hav-
ing dinner at Jack Dempsey's
restaurant. Jack, Leahy, Wally
Butts, the Georgia football
coach: Wally's head end coach,
Peron Shoemaker, and me.
This is close to the way Leahy
told it:
Thousands Of people have the
idea that Notre Dame gets more
football players than any other
school, because it Is a Catholic
school. Henry, I'll bet that you
have heard that every parochial
school sends me every player
that's any good.
THAT is a legend that is far
from the truth.

Shriveling the members of the

For this very reason, as well

would sacrifice Secretary Ache
son and Mr.. Acheson would sac
rifice himself to those objec-
tives.
That sounds able
enough-to anybody born yes

born yesterday.
He knows that the brutal as
Sault on Secretary Acheson is
only part Of a campaign aimed
at himself, his administration
and all he represents, in do
mestic as well as foreign policy.
And he isn't fooled by the sug-
gestion that throwing Mr.. Ache

rather that the taste Of blood

pack surging about him more

Europe Poro|yzed by Politics
Joint Chiefs Of Stoff in Visits to England and France
Find Allies Logging in Steps to Increase Forces
Constantine Brown:

Gen. Omar Bradley. chairman
Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. re-
turned yesterday from Europe,
where he made a quick study of
the rearmament progress Of
some Of the Atlantic pact ma
tions. The Army Chief of Staff,
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, and the
Air Force chief. Gen. Hoyt S.
Vandenberg, are still in Europe
and are scheduled to return
within the next 10 days.
The main purpose of these
quick visits is to supply top
ranking officers with data to
present to Congress when it be-
gins its study of the $8.5 billion
foreign aid funds which Presi-
dent Truman requested for the
NATO nations, the Middle East
and Asia in the 1852 fiscal year.
Because the administration
realizes that a large number of
pertinent questions will be asked

tees Of both houses, it was nee
essary that the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff be provided with first
hand information, even If they
did not have the time to visit
all the nations which are ex-
pected to receive American as
SiStance.
They confined their visits
principally to the countries fo1
which a major slice of the re-
quested funds is expected to be

While Sir Percy's visit is de-
scribed as routine and he does
routinely drop into Washing
ton. it is probable that he hur-
ried this call along because Of
embassy reports that Americans
were taking q dim view Of dis
closures that Britain sent here
two diplomats known to be un-
