Hamilton Fish SAYS
New Group Will Fight
lnternationaIism
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-For-
mer Representative Hamilton
Fish announced yesterday plans
to form an American Action
Committee to fight "interna-
tionalism" in this country-with
the possibility of q third party
movement in 1856.
Mr.. Fish, New York Repub-
lican, said the committees plans
were formulated at a dinner at
the Harvard Club Tuesday
night. with 35 persons attending.
Among them, he said, were
former Senators Burton K.
Wheeler, Montana Democrat,
and Albert w. Hawkes., Repub-
lican from New Jersey; former
Representative w. Kingsland
Macy. New York Republican,
and Publisher Frank E. Gannett.
Mr.. Fish said Col. Robert r.
Mccormick, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune and Washing
ton Herald, sent a representative.
The former Representative
said principles of the new COM
mittee are still being formulated,
adding:
''It was clearly understood at
the dinner that this is not
third-party movement. 1t was
understood that the fight against
internationalism will be waged
in both major political parties.
''It is obvious that, if the Re-
publican Party in 1856 again
nominates an internationaliSt
for President and adopts an in
ternationalist platform. there
automatically will be a third
party with machinery set UP in
every State"

are not roosting on the lower
branches of the trees. They've
moved to the upper branches.
William A. Xanten, superin-
tendent of sanitation indicates
that the net result is less filth
on the sidewalks. but there is
still noticeable amount"
The chemicals are being tested
by the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice. The law says the birds are
wildlife" and accordingly are
entitled to protection.
Mr.. Xanten, meanwhile, is
thinking of putting the pungent
chemical a bit higher in the
trees.
Maybe the starlings then will
reach their maximum altitude
and be driven away by the
fumes, he hopes.

By George Beveridee

BY George Beveridee
The District Redevelopment
Land Agency moved swiftly to-
day toward its first acquisition
of land parcels in the 76-acre
section of Southwest Washington
slated for slum clearance and
redevelopment.
The agency was authorized by
its board of directors yesterday
to settle purchases of IA lots
from five owners who are willing
to sell.
Officials said they Will not give
exact locations of the IA lots.
or purchase prices, until the
contracts actually are signed.
The lots were said, however, to
be occupied by both residential
and commercial structures.
Previously, the RIA had said
about so of the 500 property
owners in the Project B Area,
bounded by Fourth, I and South
Capitol streets and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad tracks, were will
ing to negotiate sales of their
properties. The agency has indi-
Gated it wants to negotiate as
many purchases as it can before
using powers of eminent domain
to take title to the land.
To Resell for Rebuilding.
Under its plan, the agency in
tends to clear the land of exist
ing structures and sell it to
private developer for rebuilding,
as spelled out in an approved
plan.
The plan is being challenged
in a Federal court suit, filed by
one owner of seven Fourth street
business properties included in
the program and legal action by
other owners is expected soon.
When occupants of the first
properties to be acquired will
move will depend largely on
their personal choice" and on
the availability of new homes,
said RIA Director John B.
Searles, jr.
Mr.. Searles said some of the
families already have looked at
new quarters suggested by the
agency'S relocation staff. The
staff workers have been busy
for months lining up places for
the displaced families to go and
studying their needs and desires.
Remon Elected Chairman.
In other actions yesterday, the
board:
/: Elected John A. Remon, re-
tired vice president of the Ches-
apeake & Potomac Telephone
Co., as board chairman, and
James E. Collif1ower, vice presi-
dent of Griffith Consumers Co.,
as vice chairman.
2. Voted to request the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency
to advance $5.7 million in loans
and grants for operating and
land acquisition expenses for
the next six months. The
agency earlier has drawn about
100000, against a loan and
grant ALLEGATION of about $8.3
million.
3. Approved negotiation of a
contract with Lloyd R. Turner,
real estate man, of 600 Seventh
street S.W.. to manage proper
ties the agency takes over from
present owners.
The board declined to an
nounce terms of the contract,
but said the real estate man will
be paid percentage of total
rents collected. Mr.. Turner's bid
was accepted among three sub
mitted.
His job will be to collect rents,
make repairs and carry out
other normal landlord functions
for the agency. Officials said he
will work closely with the re-
location staff in placing families
in new homes. Once acquired
properties are vacated, they will
not be rented again.

Court Stays Boards
Revocation ofLicense
OF Accused Driver

Federal Judge David A. Pine
yesterday forbade the District to
carry out the revocation of a
Washington truck testers driv-
ing permit and set the stage for
the first court test here of revo-
cation officials powers.
The judge signed temporary
restraining order blocking the
revocation and set December 4
as the date for a hearing of the
case on its merits.
Attorney John T. Bonner filed
the suit for injunction against
the District in behalf of Wilbur
E. Wilson, Sc, truck tester, of
1901 sherwood street NE.
Mr.. Wilson has pleaded inno-
cent to a charge of driving un-
der the influence of liquor and
is awaiting jury trial in Munich
pal Court. Mr.. Bonner told re-
porters. Mr.. Wilson was in
volved in a collision at the time
the charge was placed, the at
tOrney stated.
The complaint charged that,
without hearing or notice and
without his being convicted of
any violation, Mr.. Wilson's driv-
ing permit was ordered revoked.
Mr.. Bonner in his suit said
that Mrs. Mary Silver, hearing
officer of the Traffic Depart
ment's Driver Improvement Sec
ton, had sent Mr. Wilson a no.
tice last Monday that his permit
was to be revoked as of yester-
day.
The communication, according
to the complaint, informed Mr..
Wilson that, if he wished to ap-
peal. he would first have to
surrender his permit.
Livelihood Involved.
Mr.. Bonner contended Mr.. Will
sons livelihood has been jeopar-
dized and he is being illegally
deprived of his rights as a citi-
zen. He said Mr.. Wilson had
been driving for 35 years with
but one previous violation-going
35 miles an hour in a 25-mile
zone.
Charles w. Heflin, assistant to
Mrs. Silver, told reporters that,
in certain cases, including
drunken driving, the District
may revoke a permit, even if
the driver is acquitted in court.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp said hearings may be
granted upon request but that
they are not mandatory.
Under the law, it was said,
revocation or suspension of
permit may be appealed to the
District Commissioners.

"A New World
In 1878, Francis Salvador land
ed at Charleston and proceeded
to Ninety-Six, now called Green
wood. He was warmly entertain
ed by the sun-bronzed planters,
who had transformed a wilder
ness into an agricultural colony.
He listened to their calm recital
of the many irritations they were
experiencing from the English
Tory Government and sensed the
approaching crisis. Something
within him responded to these
determined, wholesome farmers
ready to defend their convictions
with their lives.
Salvador grew ashamed of the
idle life as a London dandy and
soon discarded his velvets, his
brocades, his silver chains. He
donned the homespun shirt and
the leather jerkin of the frontiers
man and settled down to cult
vate the soil purchased from his
father-in-law. The backwoods-
men quickly recognized the sim

newcomer. A year after his arri-
val, they elected him a delegate
to the first South Carolina Pro-
vincial Congress.

In Charleston, the aristocratic
slave owners were attracted by
the polished manners of the Lon

they also sensed his capacities.
