|CoveII Probing Case
'0f Free Taxi Service
In District Police Car

Inspector Howard ". Covell,
Police Department administrative
Officer today is investigating cir
|cumstances which led four police
departments to combine their ef-
forts to rush q Miami, Fla, hotel
man. 70 miles each way between
Washington National Airport and
Clear Spring, Md.
Inspector CoveH said the man,
Murray Freed. landed at the air
port early Monday and convinced
police his son was suffering from
polio at Clear Spring.
Inspector Covell said a guard at
the airport teleplloned the Metro
politan Police dispatcher shortly
after midnight yesterday and
asked that Mr.. Freed be trans
ported through Washington. The
request was refused by the dis
patcher, but Mr.. Freed somehow
obtained transportation to the
Maryland line where he was
picked up by a Montgomery Coun-
ty cruiser and later by q State
cruiser.
On his return trip. Mr.. Freed
rode in the Maryland and Mont
|gomery County cruisers. At the
District line he was met by q
Metropolitan Police car which
transferred him to a park police
car at the Fourteenth Street
Bridge.
Inspector Covell. who authorized
Mr.. Freed's return trip through
the District, said he was under
the impression that the hotel
mans son was i'll in Florida. He
was unaware of the story told on
the first trip to Clear Spring. In
spector Covell said.
No disciplinary action is in
tended, Inspector Covell said. He
pointed out that police acted
through humanitarian motives
and in such cases it is not GUS
tomary to delay a person who
appeals for assistance while they
check his story.
Mr.. Freed's son was reported
suffering from q virus infection
at Clear Spring.

Manor Park Citizens
Oppose Highway Plan

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue came to the meeting of the
Manor Park Citizens Association
last night but failed to conquer
it's opposition to the Commission
ers' proposed roadbuilding pro-
gram.
In his talk before the aSsocia-
ton. Mr.. Donohue indicated his
support of the $140 million pro-
gram which, he said, may cost
more after all the estimates are
lin. He added that a large part
Iof the failure Of the community
to back civic improvements can
be blamed on Congress. The Fed
eral Government should increase
its contribution toward the Dis
trict budget. he said.
Following Mr.. Donohue's talk,
Ernest H. Pullman, recording sec
lretary Of the group, attacked the
road plan as wasteful and unfairly
burdensome on the District. He
said the program chiefly benefits
people living outside the District
and that these people should share
the costs, if the program is en-
acted.
AS Mr.. Donohue watched the
association proceeded to back Mr..
Pullman.
In a resolution proposed by Mr..
Pullman, the group asked the
Commissioners to reStudy the
program, taking out projects "of
doubtful value" and considering
ways of sharing the costs with
residents of nearby States.
Opposition was also expressed
to the 1-cent-a-gallon tax boost
by which a large portion Of the
road-building plan would be
financed. The group asked that
the 1947 law raising the gasoline
tax from 3 cents to 4 cents be
permitted to lapse and thus per-
NIT a return to the Scent rate.
The law expires this summer.
Benjamin c. Cruickshank, pres
ident, led the meeting in the
Whittier School, Fifth and sheri-
dan streets NV.

lutte to the caustic public servant
described by himself as an "old
curmudgeon."
The funeral, conducted by the
Rev. Palfrey Perkins Of Kings

by private burial services in

at Sandy Spring, Md, only q
short distance from the Ickes
home in Montgomery County. "
Praised, in Congress.
Meanwhile. the flag over the

in death to a degree he was not
used to, in 20 years on the public
scene. Nowhere was the country'S
gratitude for his impeccable rec
ord Of service hstter reflected
than in the halls of Congress.
Majority Leader Mcfarland told
the Senate that Mr.. Ickes was a
rugged individualist who had the
nerve and the courage to speak for
what he thought was right. DEM
ocratic Senator Hill of Alabama
called him a great American and
ia great servant. Senator O'Mah-
oney, Democrat, Of Wyoming
cited the unquestioned integrity
which caused him to be known as
Honest Harold"
Mr.. Ickes' dynamic leadership
was mentioned both by Senator
Kefauver, Democrat, Of Tennessee
and House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack, who said the, former
Secretary had left IAN indelible
imprint on the pages of our
history"

Undersecretary Of =. the Interior.
"Hhe was q man Of very high
principles and belief in conserva-
ton Of the Nations resources. His
achievements in this regard will
be a monument to his memory"
On all sides, there was praise
for Mr.. Ickes' efficient handling of
billions of dollars in Public Works
Administration money, without a
suggestion Of abuse.
Some citizens recalled the "old
curmudgeon's" political independ-
ence, even while serving the DEM

Thomas [. Stokes:
Two Parties Share One AIbutross
Democrats and Republicans Both Divided but g. O. P.
Sehism Is the Greotest Hondicop in Present Compoqn

Along with tossing the usual
slew Of political dead cats at
each other, the managers of
each Presidential candidate also
are seeking to lasso the neck Of
the other with what Gov. Adlai
Stevenson has called "alba-
trosses." Among sailors of old
these were birds of bad luck; in
politics they are liabilities, also
bad luck.
This albatross operation is
made possible because of the
split personality Of each party.
Existence Of sharp divisions in
each is a fact beyond contradic-
ton. Nothing can be done about
1t in the campaign except for
each to talk about clashing fac
tions in the other. Little can be
done about 1t when the party
which wins the election sits down
to govern the Nation, our politi-
cal parties being the hybrid
creatures they are.
q The important thing, then, is
which party would face the
greater handicap in the actual
test Of government.
Gov. Stevenson's problem, as
was Franklin D. Roosevelt'S and
Harry Truman's, is the wide
breach in his party between the
anti-Fair Deal conservative wing
now concentrated in the South
and more progressive elements
elsewhere. Republicans say little
about the South for reasons to

Strategy: Long, Term Hate
krerin PoPugondists Switch Emphasis From Criticism
Of America to Offensive Against American People
John c. Henry:

There are many reasons to
support the point of view that
the real Russian strategy is to
continue the cold war over an
indeterminate period of years,
refraining if possible from turn
ing the conflict into an about
military one.
Up to now, the Kremlin has
done rather well at the cost of
no Russian lives and with no
particular distortion Of Russia's
already distorted political and
economic structures. In a to-
talitarian state. the process Of
turning most Of the national
productivity to the wasteful in
struments Of war makes rela-
lively little impact upon what
might be considered q measure
Of normality.
Meanwhile, the Soviet STRAIT
egy has accomplished the fol-
lowing:
l. The bloodless capture Of
a ring Of European countries
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hun
gary. Romania and Bulgaria, as
well as the Baltic states of Lat
via. Lithuania and Estonia.
2. In comparable manner and
degree. the capture of China.
3. The instigation and per-
petuation of a local war in Ko-
rea where substantial amount
OF American military effort
seems destined to be pinned
down indefinitely.
4. A costly interruption to the
economic recoveries of most Of
the nations Of Western Europe,
with an accompanying high
price to the American economic
system.
S. A continuing political har-
assment from Communist move
ments within the free countries
from Iran to the United
States. from Japan to Italy.
6. The advantage of being
able to pick the time and place
for each new aggression
whether political or military.
On the side of the free ma
tions there can be recorded an
awakened political resistance
among most Of them at least
and a build-up of military
strength. even though at a
slower than desired rate, that is
probably a major factor in dis
couraging a direct Russian mill
tary offensive. This progress.
when added to the vastly
greater potential that still lies
within the capacity of the free
world. is easily sufficient to allay
any fears of a quick and devas-
tating triumph at arms for the
Soviet.
A most disturbing possibility
remains, however, Of a perma-
nent stalemate settling over the
world in which one great popu-
lation mass behind the Iron
Curtain will live in complete ig-

schism by dramatizing the con-
flicting wing, including labor.
which they characterize broadly
as left wing" There are, Of
course, lots Of Democrats in
between who are not, however,
good campaign material.
Democrats, on the other hand.
frankly and publicly hold up
against Gen. Eisenhower the
&c. o. P. Old Guard" and anti
internationalist elements, large
ly centered in the Middle West,
which contrast with the more
progressive and -internationalist
wing represented in the East and
New England and in the far
West and along the Pacific
Coast.
It is suggested that Gen.
Eisenhower. in facing the prac-
tical problems of government. is
at the greater disadvantage.
This is based on long, first-hand
observation Of what happens
when, after the noise and hur-
rah of campaigns and elections
are over. government must set
tie down to the decision by
actual voting in Congress where
policies are ratified.
Republicans have chosen to
make foreign policy the leading
issue In the campaign, and it
will be a major consideration in
government for years to come.
Accepting that, Democrats
already are stressing what is q
plain fact revealed by expert
ence. This is that Gen. Eisen-
hover. If elected, would find the
conservative, anti-international-
list wing Of his party dominant
in Congress, not only numeri-
cally as the party's voting rec
ord discloses, but also in infiu-
ence because of its occupancy Of
key posts Of power.
AS the first step in his cam
paign, the general made over
lures to this element-broadly
known as the Taft" element
which fought his nomination.
He must rely on it In the cam
paign for it includes the skillful
professional leaders in so many
areas. He would have to deal
with it in Congress. These folks
do not change their spots.
On foreign policy the Demo-
cratic Party, on the other hand,
puts forth a much more united
front and can legislate effec-
lively. The South, which Is
the jarring influence on do
mestic policy, is internation-
alist-minded by tradition.
On domestic policy the South
has been an obstructive force
against the Fair Deal, as it
finally became against the previ-
Gus Roosevelt New Deal when
