Along the Potomac

Federal funds to push the Wash
ington- Baltimore parkway toward
completion have now been approved
by both Houses Of Congress. The Sen
ate agreed with the House provision
for SGT million for work on the Fed
eral stretch of the trunkline freeway
! from Jessups to the District. IN ad-
dition, the Senate restored $6S0,000
for completion of a second roadway
for the Suitllnd parkway.
The House unanimously approved
and sent back to the Senate a bill to
make any theft of mail felony. I'm
der the present law a mail theft is
regarded as a misdemeanor if the
value of the stolen mail is less than
500. Under rhe new bill the maximum
penalty for theft from the mails would
be $4,000 fine and five years i'm
prisonment.
The controversial McCalTan-Walter
| immigration bill was vetoed by the
President. 1t was repasseG by the
House and Senate. Til, bill is the
first thorough overhaul OF United
States immigration laws since 1898.
1t would ease citizenship barriers for
japanese and some others of Asiatic
stock and retains the 1924 quota sys-
TEN which limits the number of per
sons who may be admitted to the
United States each year to 4 percent
age of those who came here from the
same countries up to 1920.
The Senate Appropriations COM
mittee has called upon Congress to
ban Secretary of State AcheSon's use
of American tax dollars to make
American citizens Of a global super
state This was done by voting to deny
all funds to international organiza-
tons that promote one-world govern
ment or world citizenship. The com
mttee also voted to forbid use Of
State Department funds to maintain
the International Materials confer
ence, the unofficial organization that
divides up the worlds materials to
the detriment of American industry
Included also was a vote against send
ing ambassadors to the Governors of
states in this country.
The New York Times carried a
story on June IS which stated: "1'he
United Nations plans to dismiss more
than 30 additional United States mem
bers Of the staff who are suspected of
having taken part in illegal Com
munist activities. Highly reliable
sources said that about Is United
States secretariat members already
have been dismissed or have been
asked to resign. At least twice that
many still are scheduled for removal
from the United Nations rolls. The
dismissals-some here call them a
'housecleaning,' others a purge
have been going on at the United Ma
tons for several months. The estimate
is that they will continue until the
end Of 1852" There is no room in the
United Nations or in any government
position for those who are Commu-
nists or fellow-tlavelers.
At the beginning Of the third year
Of the Korean war, the United States
has suffered more than 10000 cas-
ualties and these are increasing each
week. The cost in money and material
has now reached approximately SO
billion. We are supplying between 80
and So Of all men and supplies.
Yet, in London this last week Secre-
taly Of State Acheson apologized to
the British House Of Commons for
not informing them and letting them
decide whether we should bomb the
power stations in north Korea which
is furnishing the power to make the
munitions which is killing and MAIN
ing our men.
