Indian Reds Told
To Work Peacefully,
Abandon Terrorism
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

MADURA, India. Dec. 28.-
1ndia's Communist high COM
mand told the first party con-
gress in five years yesterday that
it must keep trying to win power
peacefully at the polls, rather
than through the terrorist tao
tics used until two years ago.
The MoScow-backed policy di-
rective was put forward by the
conventions steering committee
headed by the party secretary
general, Ajoy K. Ghosh. Ghosh
arrived in Bombay less than
three weeks ago after a six
month visit to the Soviet capital
for medical treatment.

October, 1851. The committee

The program rejects terrorism

eral B. T. Ranadive had advo-
cated-as unsuited to India's

front able to establish a govern
ment of democratic unity"
Ranadive is not even attend
ing the congress as a delegate.
Instead. Ghosh appeared
firmly in the saddle. He assumed
the top party post two years
ago as a shaky compromise
choice between the opposing
factions, one favoring violence
and the other the parliamentary
approach to power. Red sources
here indicated strong backing
from Moscow had made Ghosh
the closest thing to an accepted
boss the quarrelling Indian Com
muniSts have ever had.
These sources said the pro-
parliamentary wing had been
strengthened by increasing Com
munist successes at the polls.
These began with strong
showipgs during the 1951-52 gen.
eral elections in Andhra. Travan-
core and Cochin states and con-
tinued in the recent Parliament

Communist lawyer, Sadham
Gupta, trounced the candidate

The sources added that since
GhoSh'S return from Moscow, the

ing, as the focus of control and
support for Indian communism.

congress did not mention Chi

Mccain Welcomes
Route 24O Farley
With D. T.. Planners
By George Beveridqe

Maryland Roads Commissioner
Russell H. Mccain said last
night he would welcome a joint
meeting with the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission Octo-
Der 20 or 80 to seek a settlement
to the Route 240 fight.
Such a meeting, with the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission also
participating. was proposed by
the national planners at their
meeting Friday.
Robert M. Watkins, chairman
of the nearby Maryland plan
ming body, said his group also
would like to participate ITO
keep the door open for any con-
ciliatory approach to a settle
ment on the road issue.
Both Sides AdamOnt.
AS recent developments have
worked out, however, there were
no signs that either the national
planners or the Roads Commits
sion would yield. The roads
group insists that it should build
a southeast leg of Route 240
through a Rock Creek Park Sec
ton and across North Chevy
Chase to terminate at the East
West highway. The planners still
oppose this project.
Each group, in proposals and
contemporaries, suggests the
other yield on this major issue.
Each offers alternate plans for
improving nearby Maryland's
traffic ills.
Before next months confer
ence, the Planning Commission
wants Mr.. Mccain to express his
views on an alternate proposal
submitted by the planners to
Mr.. McCain's staff several weeks
ago.
Park Residents Protest. =.
Mr.. Mccain said he would do
so next week. He said he also
would order a legal study, prior
to the meeting. of another Seri-
Gus complication to the road
fight.
The new complication is a
protest by residents against con-
struction of the proposed inter-
county belt freeWay-as we'll as
the Route 240 leg-through a
section of Rock Creek Park be-
tween Wisconsin avenue and
Forest Glen.
/ The citizens, who live in sub
divisions bordering the park
area, challenge the Planning
Commission's authority to have
approved use of the park for the
belt highway. The park section
approved by the planners for the
belt road is the same section
from which they want to ban

CIV Medical Schools Opening
Points Up New Building Need

cine has been taught for over
half century above the initials
The George Washington Uni
versity Medical School is the
eleventh Oldest in the country.
1t was started in 1925 in a
school building at Tenth and F
streets NV. In 1867, the late
w. w. Corcoran donated a
building on the site of the pres
ent medical school. This was
torn down in 1902 and a new
building rose on the same site.
It's been there ever since. -,
Next door to the, school is the
George Washington University
Cancer Clinic - formerly the
University Hospital. ''.''".
Both the clinic and the. hos
pital have met with better. luck
than the medical school. The
new George Washington Uni
versity Hospital was completed
in 1948 and the cancer clinic is
now under construction, just
across from the hospital at K
street and Washington Circle N
W.. with the hope it will be
completed by November or De-
cember of this year.
DR.. Bloedorn would like to see
a new medical school building
rise near the hospital. He has
estimated the cost at roughly So
million.
Sale of the present site of the
two buildings on H street would
bring in somewhere in the
ne!ghborhood of 81 million, he
said.
A new building would provide
the school with close contact
with the hospital and cancer
clinic along medical center"
lines. The business of keeping
people we'll and finding out what
goes wrong with them requires
doctors, hospitals and medical
schools. They function better
together.
Bigger Glasses Needed.
With the shortage of doctors
in mind, DR.. Bloedorn feels the
number of medical students
could be increased at least 25
per cent-with a new building.
He would like to see sizeable
lecture roomS-roomS where new
techniques of operating could be
taught with television and mo-
ton pictureS-new laboratories
and new equipment.
What we really need" says
Dr.. Bloedorn, lis modern phys
ical plant"
The old building, not it's staff
and students, seems far behind
modern medicine. 1t rests in a
city OF new hospitals and new
Clinics ana OF plans for more.
The staff of the school look
kindly on 1885 H street out of
respect for it's age and the doc
tors it has turned out. But they
are frankly tired of its small
rooms, its plumbing. faulty wir-
ing, hole-in- the-wall storerooms
and the perennial leaks.
DR.. Bloedorn tells with a grin
the story of how two medical
students lost their head" and
put out a fire that was Just
getting started in the anatomy
lab.
That's the closest we've come
to getting a new building" he
adds.
