Virginia Park Gains
Big Road lob BY Army
IN $40, 900 Fuel Deal

How the superintendent of
Prince William County fVa.) Park
obtained nearly d half million
dollars worth Of road and bridge
construction In the park in ex-
change for $4,000 to $4,000
worth of gas and OIL needed by

mittee members In testimony
made public today.
Director Conrad Z. Wirth of

Army Engineers at Fort Belvoir,
he said. have great deal Of train
ing acreage south Of Washington.
Trainees are required to build
roads and bridges and then cover
them up for the next group Of
,trainees to do all over again.
It occurred to the Prince VII
liam superintendent that the
engineers could get the same kind
|of training If they built perma-
nent roads and bridges in the
park. He had a liberal supply of
gas and oil on hand and sug-
Fgested the trade to the Army en-
gineers. They wanted the fuel

British Ldborites Ask
For Soul Searching on
FOREIGN Policy Dispute
By the Associated Press

LONDON, April 10.-The Social
istic Labor Party asked its six mil
lion members today to undertake
a soul searching on British foreign
policy. This is the issue respon-
sible for a bitter division among
the party's own leaders.
Clement Attlee's moderates is
sued the invitation in a pamphlet
entityed problems of Foreign
Policy"
The idea is to promote detailed
discussions of foreign problems al
meetings of the party's local Or
ganizations and affiliated trade
union and cooperative groups
Recommended tions and suggestions
from the rank and file are encour-
aged.
Particular emphasis is placed on
British American relations.
Problem in Future Course.
From the party's point of view,
this SINNERS down to how fu-
ture Labor Government best can
influence American foreign policy
along lines it thinks are right
without submerging Britain's own
voice in world councils or sacri-
ficing British interests.
The pamphlet voiced misgivings
Evening star., 1952-04-10

about the course of Washington;
present policy. It said:
From the outbreak of the Ko-
rean war onward, America showed
a growing tendency to act con-
trary to British advice, particu-
larly in Asia. It should be added
however, that in diverging from
British policy the American Gov
lernment was often acting under
heavy pressure from Congress con-
trary to its own opinion. E.
THE whole world would benefit
if America accepted greater re-
sponsibility for the security and
prosperity of the Middle East and
Southern Asia" :.
Concessions 10 Russia Cited.
The pamphlet declared that dur
ing the wartime big power confer
ences, America tended to make
concessions to Russia. often at the
expense of Britain" There is no
elaboration of that statement.
The pamphlet also maintained
that Britain, under a Labor gov
eminent, "stood up steadfastly
against Soviet expansion in the
difficult years Immediately follow
ing the war, when America was
unwilling to take her share of
the burden"
According to this account, the
United States did not get back
into the world picture until she
intervened in 1947 to prevent
Greece from going Communist.
