Crime Investigating Committee. It
was taken recently from inmates
at the Maryland House of Cor
rection and the Maryland Re-
formatory for women, both at
Jessups, Md. Many of those ques-
toned had been imprisoned for
some time.
The picture of a drug ridden
city with free exchange between
peddlers and addicts was promptly
refuted by both Federal and
Washington police officials. They
declared the drug traffic was de-
creasing here.
In the digested testimony, re-
leased by the committee, the adj
diets told of dope parties in Wash.
ngton. They said they could buy
drugs cheaper here than in Balti-
more and that the drugs were
easily obtainable here.
A dope peddler among the wit
nesses, Baltimore man, said he
got from Washington most of the
drugs he sold his Baltimore Gus
toners.
Easy to Buy as Soft Drink,
And one witness testified that
drugs were as easy to buys as q
soft drink.
The case histories of the in.
mates showed some admitting
they stole to keep up their drug
habit. There was a woman who
said she turned to prostitution to
get funds to buy drugs. There
were stories of broken homes, of
fights to the death over drugs. of
how the habit began in youth and
grew to terrifying proportions In
the twentieS.

so was the race of the individuals.
The clear implication that
Washington was a major drug
center was denied Immediately by
Federal Commissioner of Mar
cotics Harry j. Anslinger. He
said the drug traffic here is not
crucial and Washington has not
been designated crucial area.
Adulteration Increasing.
The adulteration Of drugs here
is going up. he reported. Mar
cotics seized in Washington re-
Gently. he said. have been 95 per
cent adulterated.
AS far as school children are
concerned" he added, I'VE haven't
found a single case in Washing
ton-and we've searched with a
f1ne-toothed comb. There may be
some instances of it, but the
schools themselves haven't found
any. the juvenile authorities
haven't found any and we haven't
found any"
Mr.. Anslinger said four of his
men are now working in WASH
lngton, which is two more than
the population ratio calls for when
the bureau divides up its l8O in
Ivestigators for the entire Nation.
Three are working in Baltimore.
Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
; and 1t. H. H. Carper, veteran
member of the police narcotics
squad. both said that the drug
traffic is at a minimum here. Mai.
Barrett said he did not know of
a single white drug peddler in
washington. He added that most
OF the colored operators have been
caught or driven out.
Traffic Has Decreased.
1t. Carper said the drug traffic
has decreased tremendously since
the last big roundup about two
months ago.
Drug traffic here today is very
slow and the stuff is scarce" 1t.
Carper insisted. Most addicts
have to go out of town to get
their supplies. The stuff coming
in here is from New York.

There are, too, the so-called early
single tulips, which are ideal for making
neat. stiff rows in beds although the
space may better be given to the Dar-
wins.
They come early, however; they have
that merit; they give sp1otches of color
This is true particularly of the early
double tulips and especially of the pink
ones which look for all the world like
water lilies floating there on the ground.
Then come the lilac blossoms of in
comparable fragrance, and later the
great heads of the peony unrivaled
among them all for sheer beauty.
Beauty in little is easily understood,
but large beauty is more difficult. When
art objects grow big they become ma
jestic or stupendous or spectacular. but
not all of them are beautiful.
The gigantic blossoms of the mag
nolia are striking enough, but one would
hardly say they were beautiful any
more than he would call their odor
dainty.
The peony blossom is at once big and
lovely.
These are but few of the unrivaled
adornmentS of spring, which, seen in
prospect gleam no brighter than they
will in actuality.
There is enough in the vision, how
ever. to inspire garden clubs to go to

AS "justicialism" is based on the prin-

No matter how filled with colds and

The time will come, and perhaps not
so many weeks now, when out OF the
very old but still unfathomable mystery
called Nature will start up in all its
splendor the most beautiful flower of all,
spring herself.
Is not spring the most beautiful flower?
Where is there a rose so beautiful,
a violet so sweet, a perfume so delight
full as the very spring herself, as she
comes wrapped in her mantle of morning
dew and chilly evenings, redolent of
earth and things earthly, yet not ashamed
of them, and unabashed in the vlgor
of her quenchless immortality?
All the wayside flowers. from the
trillium to the in-the-pulpit, the
early blooming shrubs, the Forsythia,
the lovely lilac, all the roses, all the
glory of tulip and narcissus, of hyacinth
and the little crocuses and snowdrops
that nestle in the grass, all of these are
but the jewels which spring wears.
She has silk scarf of fantastic design

and we are so in love with the varlegated
colors that we forget to admire the lady
herself.
This is the danger of the amateur
gardener, that he will put too much
stress on the ornaments of spring and
not enough on spring.
In all our planning for the future,
there should be some thought given to
the desirability of celebrating spring.

paying our money, we would sail gayly
through under the pole.
Then there was the man who sat on
the long pile of rocks on one side of the
road and broke the rocks with his ham
mer with the round, iron head. He
wore wide-brim straw hat and heavy
leather gloves, and sat on cushion
made of straw and covered with leather.
Over by the fence, in the shade Of a
tree, was his jug of water and a tin
dinner pail He earned so cents day
and considered that good wages for a
rock breaker. He gave us the impression
that he was proud of this road, which
was a good road hard as the blue lime
stone which made it's rock bed. 1t was
an old road, having been covered with
rocks for the marching of many feet of
men and horses during the War Between
the States.
BY now we were ready to drive over
the last hill and from its brow we could
see the little town. hugging the side of
the hill and nesting in the valley below.
Father had to hold the lines tight as
we reached the town, for our Patsy was

she first saw the trolley pulled along
by two little mules
What adventure lay spread out before
us! We children knew that we would
tag father all day. We would drink
fizzly soda water and eat mushroom
crackers and sharp cheese for lunch
And when the day was over, we would
get our horse and buggy from the livery
stable, and be on our way home.
We would eat some of the chocolate

were not tired, we might sing Little

And then, finally, home. Mother would

that her children had returned safe

And she would have supper ready.
oh, Road to Town. if you could only re-
turn once more to bring us your un-

Group Taxi Riding

Your editorial of February 20, regard
ing taxicab rates. makes some points on
the issue of group riding in support of no
change from existing policy. But the
plan Of revision by the taxicab industry
would encourage group riding and pro-
vide greatly improved service during
rush hours. Here's why:
Pickup group riding depends on four
things; namely, citizen urgently re-
quiring transportation cab to perform
the transportation service-a cab driver
who is not inclined to look conveniently
in another direction SO as not to see the
citizen-and destination of the citizen
falling on the same route as the first
passengers route.
The public is primarily interested in
pickup group riding during rush hours
when the public transit system is over
burdened. Under the present policy,
however, pickup group riding is not prof
liable to the driver unless the group
enters at one stop and has destinations
in the same general area on the same
route. From many pickup groups the
driver receives less total fare from two
passengers than he would have received
from one. ThMs, conveniently, the cab
IN urgent need. No grocer would sell
pound and one-quarter of steak for a
price below that for only one pound.
The economics of business doesn't per-
NIT it.
There are over 5000 taxicabs in the
District, ratio of about one to each
30 persons: truly a mass transportation
service. Every man, woman and child
residing in the District could ride in a
cab in one day. But why can't you get
cab during rush hours? Discounts for
pickup group riding are the answer. If,
as you state, it were profitable, 5000
taxis would be out there making some of
that profit.
The plan proposed by the taxicab in
dustry is in the public interest, all of the
public. 1t will provide sufficient incen-
tive for a greater number of cab drivers
to work during rush hours. And the
citizen in urgent need-that is, suffi-
GENTLY urgent to warrant the use of
taxicab-would be more than grateful
for the opportunity to obtain one and
pay the full fare for the privilege.

More Soviet Propaganda

The KremlinS weekend reply to Britain
note of February II seems primarily designed to
serve as another salvo in the propaganda cam
paign with which the Soviet Union is trying to
turn reality upside down by depicting itself as
a power more sinned against than sinning-a
power whose only objective is to establish good
and enduring peace despite the villainous plot
ting and rearmament of the warmongering
West.
Presumably, since no informed person in the
free world can be fooled by it, this fairy-tale
Interpretation of current history is meant
chiefly for consumption behind the Iron Cur
tain. In that dark region many millions of
people probably are still far from convinced that
black is white or that vice is virtue, and so the
new Russian note-the latest in an exchange
bearing upon the Kremlins charge that the
British have violated the Anglo Soviet friendship
treaty of 1942Amay be regarded, in large part,
as another dreary example of how Moscow uses
the technique Of the Big Lie to bewitch and
bewilder mass opinion inside the Red empire.
At any rate as far as opinion on this side
of the Iron Curtain is concerned, nothing could
seem more obvious than that the Russian note
is thoroughly distorted rejoinder to the bis
tering British indictment of February II. That
indictments detailed listing of the Kremlin's
broken pledges, its acts of direct and indirect
aggression, its menacing military posture, it's
subversive activities, its obstructionism in the
United Nations, its hate-mongering, ETC., etc
still stands. Generalissino Stain and his Polit-
buro colleagues cannot weaken it by saying
as in their reply to Britain-that their armed
strength is no greater than in 1899, that they
are ready to negotiate for an improvement in
Anglo-Soviet relations, and that they will
highly estimate" any step genuinely taken
to that end by the Attlee government.
The fact is, of course, that Russias rela-
tions with Britain and every other free nation
have deteriorated to an alarming degree solely
and simply because the Soviet dictatorship, be-
sides maintaining huge armed forces while the
West drastically disarmed, has followed policy
in deeds as well as words-of worldwide, DOM
nance seeking subverson and aggression That
is why we, the British, the French and all like
minded peoples, are uniting and rearming as
much and as fast as possible for our common
defense. A matter of self-preservation is in
volved. AS long as Moscow threatens, there can
be no sane alternative to what we are now
doing.
Actually, if the Kremln really wants to ease
present international tensions, if it is sincerely
seeking lasting improvement in relations with
the free world, it can readily demonstrate its
good faith by any number of concrete actions
basically modifying its postwar policy. Certainly,
if and when another Big Four meeting is held,
the Western Powers will highly estimate" what
ever steps the Soviet Union may genuinely"
take toward honest cooperation. Short of that,
its talk about peace will continue to be nothing
but propaganda upending truth and mocking
the hopes of mankind.

To the Editor of The Stor:

A s threaded my way through the
IA traffic on the busy street into town
one day last week, my mind went flying
back over the years to another road
and another town of long ago, and !
wondered If others, rushing along with
me in that zigzag stream, might remem-
ber how it used to be.
Father would bundle us into the buggy
in the early morning. as it was elght
long miles to town and he had planned
a busy day. First, the road led past the
orchard on the hill. In the spring. the
fragrance of apple blossoms and shower
of pink petals spilled all over the road
with every gust of wind. But now the
trees bent, heavy with fruit, almost to
the ground, some of the limbs resting
YEARLY on the fence like old men.
On the right we passed the one-room
schoolhouse. where the boys built rows
of snowmen in the yard during the
winter, and played "Anthony-ov
across the peaked roof when the weather
was fine.
A little further on was the blacksmith
shop. We could hear the clink, clank.
clunk of the hammer on the anvil as
we approached. Father would stop our
morse, EdUSy, III IIOIlt VI tlic SiAoP AIN
call out that he was on the way to town.
The smith would appear in the door
with his leather apron hanging almost
down to his feet, his long tongs i'll one
hand and perhaps redhot horseshoe
dangling from them.
Would the smith like some errands
done? Yes, he wanted two pounds of
horseshoe nails from the hardware
store, and some bolts and nuts for a
wagon wheel. And his wife wanted two
spools of number go thread and a
paper Of fine needles. He handed father
a silver dollar and whispered to him
to bring the kids some candy with the
change. There would always be some
change.
Next we passed the big barn which be-
longed to Mr.. Helsley and always seemed
like an outgrown garment. bursting at
the seams. with straw sticking out of the
sides and corn showing through the
cracks.
Then came Mr.. Perkins, plowing in his
field. Father would draw over to the

leaving us children to hold Patsy's reins
and flip the flies from her back. Mr..

holidays away from her and utilized one
leaving poor Pan bereft. All he has left
is that foolish April's fool!
Let us recall in our hearts the fair
praise of spring raised by the first and
perhaps the last scientific poet, Lucre-
titus. who 1000 years ago painted
living picture of green grass and rbleat-
ing lambs. soft winds and gentle tenn
peratures.
Above all, he spoke of the grass being
"enameled with flowers"
The garden lover in winter will do we'll
to keep in mind the flowers, which, with
the green of grass and trees, give spring
its peculiar colorS not exactly counter
parted in any other time of the year.
For the beauty of ANIMALS and per-
ennialS one must wait for summer but
the spring flowers have luster all their
own.
Just how much of this comes from
the eyes that see and the hearts that
love one would not be too hard in press
ing
1t is enough that climbing roses bloom
in the spring.
Then. if ever, come great sheets of
the newer climbers, shedding their
beauty over many an ugly fence or
uglier garage, making beauty come

painted wood.
Then come the gay, flashing colors
Of the tulips, making veritable fairy
