Twenty fourth Of the SerisS.l
A 60.year-old plan for q road
linking the Civil War forts circlinl
Washington is alive again. And
this time there seems o good
chance for q start.
Fort drive first was proposed
formally in q city development
plan Of 1901. although : 1t had
been talked about at least 20 years
earlier.
Lincoln had stood under FIRE al
one Of the breastworks-Fort
Stevens. Planners thought the
forts would interest sightseers
They also proposed development
of park facilities.
Until a dozen years ago, tht
idea was for a winding park drive
partly using existing streets, partly
new ones. In 1880. after a long
wait, Congress authorized buying
lof a right OF way Wnere neeoeo
Then growing traffic problems
suggested a dual purpose-the
road might also become a belt
on the city's fringe. helping traffic
skirt congested downtown. This i:
the current conception. and 9
speedy dual highway is now the
design.
Opposition Is Recalled. 4
Five years ago economy minded
District officials were opposing the
project as useless" and too costly
They wanted some 700, acre
which had been bought along tho
right of way returned to taxable
luSe.
But five weeks ago the Districts
Highway Department proposed
spending $40 million to construct
1.-TWO major segments of the belt

entire drive already has been
bought by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
In other places, such as Eastern
and Nebraska avenues, present
streets are to be rebuilt.
Two-Lane Roads Proposed.
Each Of the sections now pro-
posed would have O pair Of two
lane roads, separated by a median.
And underpasses would be built
where necessary to prevent con-
fiicts at intersecting streets,
Access would be limited. and
trucks would be excluded on most
'of the parkway.
The Park and Planning Com
mission advocates two new Poto-
mac bridges to connect the two
District ends of the belt with
Virginia. One would be at Ne
braska avenue opposite Arlington
the other at Shepherds Landing
opposite Alexandria. But these
aren't in the District ten-yeal
highway program, and even the
two proposed sections Of Fort
drive are labeled future needs
about eight years hence. Nc
estimate Of ultimate cost has been
made. Completion would take
years.
AS q freeway, the drive woulc
help motorists bypass Snarls. But
it would also be an attractive
Sunday drive. Park eauthorities
contemplate restoration of MORE
of the half-dozen forts besides
Stevens that are well preserved
including installation Of some
guns. Guided tours might ever
be provided.
One of the chain Of sites has 9
special distinction. Fort Reno
Park, although without its breast
works, is the highest spot in th'
District (420 feet). There are 2.
forts or fort sites on the route.

Owner Of De|icatessen
SIugged, Robbed Of $500

Two holdup men took more than
$500 from the owner of a North
east delicatessen early today and
then left him lying stunned in the
street from a blow on the head,
police reported.
The victim. Danilo Cappeletti,
81, of 500 Madison street NE. was
treated at Gallinger Hospital and
released. He is the owner of the
Ace Delicatessen, 4401 Benning
road NE.
Mr.. Cappelletti told police he
closed the delicatessen about las
am. and left with an employe
Arnold Walker, colored, of 4211
Clay street NE.
They went to MIR. Cappeletti's
car. Before they could get in, two
colored men wearing masks and
carrying revolvers come up. One
of them said, Come here and give
us your money"
Mr.. Cappeletti said the holdup
men made them turn their backs.
Then one reached into Mr.. Cap
peletti'S pocket and took the
money. One of the holdup men
ordered the two to lie on the
ground. then struck Mr.. Cappe-
letti on the back of the head with
the revolver. They escaped on
foot.

Goal Miners Combat
Delay on Pay Boost;
100000 Are Idle
By jones Y. Newton

Pressure on the Government tc
approve the recently negotiated
coal wage boost increased today
with more and more miners stay
ling off the job.
Estimates of the number OF
miners striking in protest of the
delay in getting their $1.90-per-
day pay increase ran as high as
10000. It was clear that most
Of the mines would be shut down
soon unless the Federal Wage Sta
bilization Board acted favorably
on the new contract of John L
Lewis United Mine Workers.
Reports from Southwest Vir-
Iginia coalfields indicated that 49,
900 miners were idle there. Nc
strike has been called by Mr.
Lewis or the miners. The men
simply are staying off the job as
soon as they get their pay en-
velopes for the october lis Pc
riod and find they haven't re-
ceived the extra $1.90 a day. The
increase cannot be paid legally
until approved by the WSB.
WSB Meeting Today.
The WSB. torn by dissension
over the size of the pay boost plus
the 10 cents per ton negotiated
for the miners welfare fund,
scheduled another meeting for
today.
Meanwhile, coal mine operators
were demanding either a sizable
coal price increase or de-control
of the fuel. Preliminary Office of
Price Sterilization estimates of
the cost of the new contract ran
about 40 cents per ton.
OPS said no decision on the
price request would be made until
the sWage Board has acted on the
contract.
Labor members of WSB angrily
rejected a suggestion of Economic
Stabilizer Roger Putnam that the
board postpone a decision for a
few days. Mr.. Putnam repeatedly
wanted the Presidents mobiliza-
ton advisory board to give its
opinion of the new contract.
Board Groups at Odds.
The labor members of the board
held that the mine pay boost was
neither unstabilizing nor out of
line with stabilization regulations.
Industry members of the three
part panel thought otherwise. In
the middle were the public men,
bers, some Of whom privately have
protested the pressure being put
upon them.
All of this posed a big problem
for the administration. It is faced
with a major coal strike just be-
fore election, and the criticism
that approval of the contract
would mean yielding to Mr.. Lewis
for political purposes.

MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-THE Soviet
Communist Party named it's new
high command today and kept
Joseph Stain firmly in all the top
jobs.

larged. It formerly had only five
members.

was emphasized by the placing of
his name out Of alphabetical
order at the head of the an
nounced listing of both the Presi-
|dium and secretariat. All other
names were given in their Rus

One significant point was the
promotion to Presidium alternate

Lias Knows Nothinq
About Bookkeeping
He Tells Tax Court

William G. Lias, who may owe
millions in back income taxes
patted his multiple StomachS to-
day and declared "I don't know
anything about bookkeeping.
For that reason. he said. he
could not trace the complex trans
actions involving his Wheeling
Downs race track. cigarette
vending company. steak house
and horse gambling room.
But it's all in the record" the
400-pound Lias told the United
States Tax Court. And the books
are in the hands of the Govern
ment or my lawyers-there are
about II of EN-"
On Stand an Hour.
Lias testified for an hour at a
Tax Court case over his back in
come taxes. The Government SAYS
he owes S28 million more for 1912
to 1948. Lias once offered to settle
for $1.6 million, but when the Gov
eminent turned this down, he
asked the Tax Court to throw out
the entire case.
He was called to the witness
stand today, only to tell about a
specific conversation he had with
an auditor.
Despite efforts to get Lias to re-
strict his testimony at this time
LiaS insisted on arguing that the
Government was trying to tax him
on profits that really belonged to
three business aSSociat teS-a broth
er, John; and two brotherS-in-
law, Gregory and William Manos
Lias, who had only six years of
schooling, said he kept reinvesting
his partners profits in various en-
terprises until the Government got
the idea that all the money be-
longed to him.
Explains Operations.
Under close cross-questioning
from Government Attorney James
c. Maddox, Lias grew red-faced
and confused. but finally blurted:
You lawyers talk different, but
/ will tell it in my own words so
you can understand it. Suppose
the Market Street Club (the Lias
gambling room) made 100000.
Gregory'S share was $4,000. Sup
pose used it in the race track we
were building =.
Il invested the money as I saw
fit. They (the relatives) went
along with me, and we all made
money"
Just how much each person
made, Lias wasn't sure. The book
keepers, he said, kept track of
that.
Because several persons could
write checks on various accounts.
Lias said, the bookkeepers advised
him not to leave too much money
in the bank.
I'D draw a check (of $25, ,OOOl
and cash it and put the money in
a vault" Lias said, adding that
he then would send a notation to
his bookkeeper.
He once paid a firm $4,000 to
audit his books, he said, but the
final report was, "a bunch of
papers-some short and some
long-with figures all over them. {"

BY JOHN KITASAKO

plished at the hostel during the
following six months will remain
one of the most remarkable chap
tiers in the story of resettlement of
Nisei in the nations capital.
The hostel was an old three-story
building, but In no time, Mrs. Bar
rett and her mother converted 1t
into a real home. applying all those
touches that make a rundown house
a home.
More important than all the ply
steal improvements were the
warmth and hospitality which the
Barretts breathed into that hon
The befuddled evacuees-many OF
whom had lived in small towns in
pre-war days-found a sincere well
come, and soon their confidence was
restored and they were able to get
adjusted to life in the big city with
little difficulty.
Mr.. Barrett's background as bu-
siness man came in handy.
He knew how to cut corners and
effect savings right on down the
line.
Although a stranger in Washing
ton. he soon learned how to get a.
round, and found places where he
could purchase good food at rea-
sonable cost, and where to buy used
furniture and equipment at bargain
prices. These he repaired and made
almost new.
He was also able to save money
for the hostel by doing all the elec-
trical, plumbing and carpenter work
at the hostel
After their six months were up
the Barretts packed up and drove
back to Walla Walla, leaving a hos
tel operating on a sound basis.
The success of the hostel was as
sured. It had become the land
mark of service and hospitality that
proved to be vitalizing oasis in the
vast desert of unfriendliness ano
impersonality that was wartime
Washington.
During the war years there emer'
ged many magnificent acts of sacri-
flee and kindness and service, ma
ny OF them performed by Quaker'
like the Barretts.
1t was heartwarming indeed u
hear from the Barretts again a
Christmastime and to recall onct
again their generous contributor

Christmas has its headaches, but /
it also has its moments of joy.
And one of these is receiving
cards from friends you haven't
seen in years.
A card which warmed our heart
was one from the Parker Barretts OF
Walla Walla, whom we have not
seen for six years.
Tt brought back memories of a
pleasant association back in Wash
ington, D. c. We'd like to tell you
about the Barretts.
During the resettlement years,
back in 1914 hundreds of Nisei were
leaving the relocation centers to
work and establish homes in the
East and Midwest.
Many went to Washington, D. G.
The housing situation was bad ev-
erywhere, but it was particularly
bad in Washington, D. G.
Thousands poured into the ma
tons capital where Jobs in the fe-
deral government were plentiful.
The Nisei relocatees had pretty
rough time getting apartments and
rooms.
Many landlords turned them a
way. A committee of Caucasians
consisting mostly Of church people
was getting places for Nisei to stay
but it was an uphill job.
And it was quite expensive fol
Nisei to live in hotels in the mean
time and eating all meals out
So the committee decided to SCI
up hostel where Nisei newcomer:
could stay at cost while they look
ed for housing and jobs.
So the American Friends Service
Committee headquarters was con-
tacted for someone to serve as di-
rector of the hostel
The American Friends had on file
a letter from a Mr.. Parker Barrett
Quaker who owned a shoe store
in Walla Walla. Mr. Barrett Of
fered his services gratis to the COM
mittee in whatever capacity thu
committee desired, for period oil
six months
Mr.. Barrett's offer was accepted
and so he closed up his store, ano
packed his family-consisting OF his
wife, a young daughter, and his
wife's mother-into his car. ano
drove to Washington, D. c., all or
his own expense.
What the shoe store man and his
family from Walla Walla accom-
