Rent Control in Prince GEORGES

would like to express my opinion on
the rent control situation in Prince
Georges County and the attitude of the
home owners in the area as expressed
in your paper.
1t has been stated by the home owners
that apartment dwellers are only
transients. which most certainly is not
true in all cases, and that as such
they do not contribute to the upkeep
of the schools or pay school taxes. I
want to bring to the attention of these
home owners that the apartment dweller
does contribute indirectly through his
rental to the owner of the property,
to the support and upkeep of the schools
through taxes which the owner pays.
Furthermore, as much interest in the
schools is shown by apartment dwellers
as well as home owners, since we are all
parents of children attending these
schools.

Humor as q Help

One of your recent correspondents
commented on the humorous touches
used by Gov. Stevenson in his speeches
and implied that this indicates a lack
of dignity.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. To sensitive nature the con-
temptation of certain grave problems
sometimes is impossible to endure un-
less tempered by some subtle influence.
Shakespeare recognized this fact when
he introduced scenes Of lighter vein
into his tragedies. Lincoln felt the sooth-
ing effect of funny story while trying
to reach some momentous decision.
And so Gov. Stevenson, who realizes
the gravity of the present situation as
few men do, is only trying to take not
too gloomy an outlook on the problems
that he may be called upon to face.

Tear Them Down

It is good to know that the Governments
demands for office space in Washington have
about reached point where they are in balance
with the supply. The Public Buildings Service is
said to be heavng sighs of relief But, in the long
view, there should be no relaxation in official
quarters as long the supply Of Office space in
cludes the temporary" buildings left over from
the two World Wars.
There was hope of early removal Of the
"tempos" on the Mall until the developing cold
war, followed by the "hot" war in Korea, upset
the plans. Instead of drop in number of emer-
gency employees after World War II the total
climbed rapidly-and the search for more space
gave Federal authorities new headaches. The
idea of razing any of the 16 temporary buildings
on the Mall and in West Potomac Park was given
up There are more than 10000 Federal employees
in these buildings But PBS officials have found
recently that, as a result of Congress- imposed
economy measures, the requests for space are
leveling of, with no large demands in sight
This wonderful news gives rise to renewed
hopes that the Federal occupation OF the Mall
and adjacent park areas is approaching an early
end. When the encroachment began, back in
World War I, the Government promised that all
of the structures would be razed when the
emergency was over. Some of them, including
the too-permanently built Navy and Munitions
Buildings, are still with us. Came World War II
and more of the temporary Offices sprang up,
along with enlisted mems and womens barracks
They are still marring the landscape, despite
solemn promises that they would be removed
when hostilities ceased. These promises were
not lightly given and they should not be lightly
regarded today.

New Look in ArIinoton

The emergence of an independent" slate of
candidates for the Arlington County Board
promises to be significant political development
1t has already stirred up lively controversy.
Spokesmen for the Non-PartiSans who have
been in control of the County Board, say that
the unveiing of this new ticket has come as
shock to the people of Arlington. They describe
the new slate as product of IDEAL" in an
attempt Ito combine two wobby machines
democratic and Republican, behind single
slate of reactionary, hand-picked candidates"
Spokesmen for the Democratic and Republican
organizations deny there was any deal or con-
nlvance between the regular parties.
Be this as it may, the self-evident fact is
that the new ticket poses a serious threat to the
Non-Partisans. In the election last November,
the Non-Partisans retained their control of the
County Board But their candidate won his seat
with only about one-third of the total vote cast.
His total was Att. The Republicans also elected
candidate with $500 votes. The Democrats,
with four candidates bidding for the two va
cancieS, polled 8,248 votes, figured in the highest
combination, but failed to elect any one of the
four.
These figures, of course, may not be truly
representative of the actual strength of the three
political groups. But they suggest that the
Non-Partisan ticket, now bidding for the three
board places vacated by court decree faces an
uphill battle on election day.
This is true because the outlook is, generally
speaking, for decisive test between two COM
peting states of candidates. There probably will
be some ticket-splitting. But it certainly will not
be possible for the Non-Partisans to win this
time with approximately third of the total
vote for County Board candidates.
It is hard to see why this should come as a
shock to the people of Arlington. For the
emergence Of this new slate, whatever the mott
vation behind it, promises the voters of Arlington
an opportunity for clear-cut choice. The slate
Is composed of Arlingtonians who have had no
known connection with either political party,
but who, in the MAN, will stand as the candidates
Of the conservative element in the county. The
Non-PartiSan slate falling back again on a
generality, represents the liberal element. An
honest election-and elections in Arlington are
honest-should evoke decisive expression from
the voters And that, in turn, should be good
thing for county government in Arlington-if one
believes in the principle of majority rule.

suits of both types of surveys show our
wages to be on an equal basis with in

similar types of work. However, we are

RosedoIe Incident

The near riots at the Rosedale Play
ground are disgrace to the Capital City
of the Nation. I can sympathize with
the resentment of the colored people at
being singled out as the only race in
this Nation to be subjected to segrega-
ton. However, there is one principle
which must be enforced ahead Of all
others and that is that no person, or
any group of persons. shall be permitted
to resort to force and violence. And
that goes for racial groups, labor groups,
religious groups and all others.
A government which cannot or will not
enforce law and order is not fit to be
called a government. Those who today
encourage lawless action by half-grown
boys are sowing seed which will bear
bitter fruit of lawless actions, in other
direction, in their later years. When
that happens, the same people who now
encourage them in lawlessness may be
the first to shout that they should be
excused because they never had a
chance" Ell Gee.

No Press Agent Required

The Citizens Advisory Committee on Pubic
Works is right about the need for better public
understanding of school problems in these times
of shifting population. There Is no doubt about
the desirability of developing better public rela-
tions in the educational field. But it should not
be necessary to hire press agent to do this
public relations job The committee probably
would not have proposed the appointment Of
public relations officer if school authorities had
given proper attention to the subject of COM
munity understanding and support OF what they
are trying to do
AS the advisory subcommittee on schools
points out education Of the people on the
overall problems of the schools is the only way
to get public acceptance of unpopular changes"
The subcommittee members themselves did not
have a clear understanding of the problems
facing the school system until they asked for.
and received, "the full picture of the present
situation The public has been confronted
from time to time with sudden decisions to shift
schools from division to another, or to
transfer pupils within divisions without adequate
advance notice to and consultation with parents
concerned. This naturally has added to what
the subcommittee calls resentment over these
necessary changes"
more frankness on the part of the school
administration about its future plans and the
reasons for them would help to get the support
of the community as whole and reduce much
unfair criticism" the report to the Commits
sioners says. But to achieve this frankness does
not require the employment of specialist in
public relations. Administrative officers and the
Board of Education are all the publicity agents
that the school system needs, provided they
recognize their responsibilities public servants
and act to keep the citizens adequately informed
about developing school troubles.

any one who cries "for shame!" at their
fascist ways.
It is all too easy to take phrase or a
lie (as Goebbels so we'll demonstrated)
and turn ones fellows into social lepers
by repetitive use of the SANDER. BY the
same token. it would be just as easy
to start pogroms again; to create xxx
atmosphere of religious bigotry once
more: to single out fraternal or other
societies as targets for the smear. That
is the danger we face when we permit
men of little minds to reach places of
enormous power by stimulation of our
hates and fears.
Nothing will take the place of hard
thinking and alerted awareness of the
tremendous, vital issues now before us,
for only rigid mental discipline will sift
emotionalism from sound sense.

impassioned oratory but for heavens
sake, discount generalities and phrases
that whip up your feelings-for they
will be the words carefully planted to
stir your emotions, and when you are

They will cover hundreds of mi es

one third of the tobacco marketed

the figure was 56,674,394 pounds,

By Big Vote In

whelming approval to Marketing
Quotas for three more years.
casting a record vote, farmers
in this county showed their en-
thusiasm for the program by osl-
loting in favor of quotas at 'lie
ratio of 1872 to one.
The unofficial tabulation' as re-,
leased this morning by PMA
chairman Clyde Wayne, showed
that S,462 farmers voted for three
wear marketing quotas and only
SO cast votes in opposition.
Sixty-nine persons favored d
one-year continuation OF quotas
The margin in favor of contlnu-
ing the program of Tobacco As
sociates, Inc. was only slightly
less. The county figures show
$3.50 in favor of Tobacco Assocl-
ates and 121 against. The issue
was whether to continue lO-
per cent acre levy to promote the
export tobacco program.
The unofficial figures from the
entire flue-cured area gave 249,-
997 votes in favor of marketln :
quotas and 3,O87 against. Only
1884 favored limiting the mar
keting quotas to onc year.
The vote on Tobacco Associ-
ates, which was held only in Nor
tn and South Carolina, was re-
ported today as 198,996 for and
1924 against.
There was never any doubt that
farmers would approve the quo
tas, but the major question was
whether there would be a large
enough vote to indicate that farm
ers really wanted the quota sys-
tenn.
