Family Memorabilia Found in Secret Drawers

A house fire during World War
II and the more recent need to
tear down a woodshed have lead
a Bethesda lawyer to the dis
covery of some family memora-
bilia that may have dropped out
of sight as much as so years ago.
The material, which include
seven miniatures of members of
the family of George C. Warner,
jr.. of 1000 Exeter drive, Be-
thesda, and bunch of old let
ters, was discovered this morn
ing in an antique Italian chest.
The chest was badly damaged
in fire at Mr.. Warmers home

in 1945. After the fire the chest
was put into a woodshed and
forgotten until a few days ago
when the lawyer decided to have
the structure torn down.
He took the chest to Cabinet
maker Ben Termini, Of 491S
Fairmont avenue, Bethesda, last
week to see if it could be re-
stored. This morning Mr.. Ter
mini discovered four secret
drawers in a false bottom on the
chest, and called Mr.. Warner.
The lawyer said the material
had no particular value except
as family memorabilia.

French Union Orders
Strike as Laniel Cites
Easing Of Finances
BY the Asseeiated Press

PARIS. Aug. 5.-Premier Jo-
seph Laniel told France last
night her governments financial
situation is a little easier. This
morning the nations biggest So
cialist union ordered post, tele-
phone and telegraph workers to
strike.
The walkout for an unlimited
duration was ordered by the
Workers Force to protest Mr. La
nieps plans for reorganizing the
government-operated post system
for more efficient operation.
The non-Communist union
also is seeking general pay in
crease and a year-end bonus
equivalent to $57.
Others May Join.
The strike call had no i'm
mediate effect. since it was is
sued by telegram only at noon,
but other unions were reported
ready to join the action.
Workers at the Bordeaux COM
munications center. however,
voted last night to strike. Only
official and urgent kilograms and
phone calls were being handled
there today by supervisory per-
sonnel.
Mr.. Laniel, making his first
important speech since he took
the premiership six weeks ago, in
a broadcast lambasted special
business interests in the country,
implying that they had prevent
ed the nation from attaining
economic health. He declared: !:
1--WE must put an end to habits
which prevent the nation from
achieving its full productivity.
Multiple and excessive protection
against internal and external
competition have slackened the
needed effort toward progress
and applied the brake to our
adaptation to new economic
conditions.

Declaring Frances treasury
was in critical condition and its
economy in retreat when he took
Office, the Premier asserted. "in
a few weeks, the situation has
perceptibly improved, at least on
the financial side"
Mr.. Laniel directly attacked
the retail meat industry. noted
in recent years for its high
prices. and the powerful French
wine-growing interests. Wine
growers recently blockaded roads
in Southern France in protest
against the governments failure
to grant further subsidies.
The governments first objec-
tive is to restore the nations
finances in order to balance the
budget, the Premier declared.
The second objective will be to
give business a shot in the arm
in the hopes of creating full
employment.

Authorized last year by rider on a military
appropriations bill, the commission was named
last october by then Secretary Of Defense
Lovett. Repeatedly, Mr.. Lovett suggested de-

Absurd Effect of an Old Law

Two Federal employees who have resigned
from the Fairfax School Board have provided
their State with further evidence of the absurd
ity of retaining the 1888 law which prohibits
Federal workers from holding public Offices in
Virginia The two Fairfax citizens withdrew in
the face of threatened litigation that would
have hampered the county in financing an ur-
gent school program through sale of bonds
They explained that they quit in the interest
of Fairfax County.
The concern which these Government en-
ployeS, Hills Lory and Randolph Buckley, thus
have demonstrated for the welfare of the local
school system and the children it serves is that
which might be expected of any public spirited
resident of Fairfax County. Yet the county is
to be deprived of the services of such Federally
employed residents by law based on an an
cient fear that they might take over the local
government in the name of the United States.
The Fairfax School Board case Is good illus
tration of the Stiffness Of such contention In
this day and age.

All Races Kind

It is my opinion that the great mass
Of colored citizens resent the major
implications of a letter published in
your columns on February IA, signed
Elizabeth Kicks. The writer made the
common error of ascribing attitudes
and acts as characteristic of white and
black races" She suggested that the
white race" freed the slaves, and
spearheaded the fights for all the
rights and privileges Negroes now
have; therefore, the black race should
be thankful. But she did not seem to
know that the white race" as she has
grouped all non-black people, was re-
Sponsible for the enslavement of Ne
groes and their exploitation. and made
laws that denied them civil rights.
Scientifically, there is no such thing
as a white race or a colored race. In
our Nation, individuals and groups of
people of all races and creeds have
been charitable. kind and have worked
to lessen bigotry.
Even while slaves, many Negroes
praised their masters and the system.
Some preferred remaining in slavery.

The Lost President

zine in The Star Of January 1S) is the
ignoring OF. the one constitutional re-
quirement which most obviously dis
poses Of the whole contention. I have
not seen any one claiming that Sena-

dent prescribed in Article II of the
Constitution. Surely those who be-
heve that Zachary Taylor was hot

cause ne deferred his oath until the
next day. must admit that without
that oath. Atchison had even less
title to that Office as his substitute.
An Associated Press item on the
first news page Of The Stars inaugural
edition very correctly pointed out, on
the same principle, that Vice President
Nixon had no momentary title to the
presidency on account of taking his
oath before the differently worded
presidential oath was taken by Eisen-
hover. Not everybody would agree
with that items further statement

More Funds for Ridqwoy

It is encouraging that the 14-member
Council OF the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation has decided to double the sum previously
approved to enable General Ridgway to meet his
so-called "infrastructure" requirements during
the current year.
These requirements have to do with the
construction of base installations pipelines for
jet fuel, communications and other military
facilities OF great Importance to the Vests
defensive build-up against the threat of Soviet
aggression. Prior to the Paris meeting of the
NATO Council last December, General Ridgway,
supreme allied commander in Europe, urged
that ne be given minimum of $428 million
for such construction in 1858. but the councils
decision was to approve an outlay of only 1924
mllllon-httle more than half the sum he
regarded as rock-bottom essential
When this action was .irst announced.
General Ridgway frankly deplored it on the
ground. that 1t was an unimaginative and
unrealistic type of economizing that could
seriously and inexcusably upset the timetable
OF Western defense. Some weeks later, how
ever, apparently after having been informed
that the decision was tentative in nature he
expressed confidence that the cut made in his
original request would be fully restored at the
next full-dresS meeting-Scheduled for late
April-of the foreign ministers making up the
Atlantic Council. And now, well in advance
OF that meeting, his confidence has been well
vindicated.
What the new decision means is that
NATO'S supreme commander, instead of being
limited to 1924 million, will have SAB million
available for military building this year-or
$40 million more than the sum he requested in
the beginning. An anonymous officer at his
headquarters has commented on the develop
ment by saying, TOO bad it's come two months
too late" This suggests that the construction
schedule will continue to lag despite the dou-
bling of funds, but that seems difficult to
understand, especially in view of General
Ridgway's recent suggestion that everything
would be all right if the Atlantic Councils
April meeting restored the December cut
Certainly, now that the restoration has
been made weeks ahead of General Ridgways
own expectations, 1t is hard to see why there
should be serious upset in NATO's "infrastruc-
ture" timetable. The councils latest action, in
any case. should go far toward preventing such
an upset.

ChiIIum Fire Tux
ID. A. Curran.

The proposed legislation on the
Chillum fire tax, which is being sub
mitted by Delegate Hughes to the
Annapolis Assembly, has been read with
great interest by many Chillum -Adelphi
citizens. We could conceivably call this
proposed bill a legal robbery of the
full share of the fire-tax money right

area
Why should the neighboring COM

(Riverdale. Hyattsville, Mount Rainier,

hands into our pocketbook? We do not
share in their tax, why should they

reason for this stupid bill is to provide

the Chillum -Adelphi area on the first

Conodo's Economic Health

Canada's latest budget, her eighth success
s1ve one to reflect a surplus and permitting
in this instance a substantial reduction in
taxes, provides a reliable measurement of the
economic good health of our neghbor to the
north.
Appearing before the House of Commons at
Ottawa, Finance Minister Abbott estimated
that government expenditures in the fiscal
year beginning on April will be approximately
$4.462 billion. OF this total slightly more than
81 billion will be for defense purposes On the
other side of the ledger, Mr.. Abbott estimated
the years revenues lat $4473 billion--leaving
surplus OF about $ll million. In this connec-
ton 1t is interesting to note that the surplus
for the current year originally was estimated
at 50 million but is now expected to total nearly
$48 million.
In presenting his new budget, the Finance
Minister told the House that tax reductions
involving annual revenue OF, approximately 1851
million could safely be applied. The estimate
OF surplus, in other words, was reached after
allowing for such reduction. Foremost of the
recommended reductions was an II per cent
cut in individual income tax rates, to be effec--
tive July of this year, with other cuts in
corporation levies and in excise taxes and
import tariffs
While opposition political commentators
proposed partly because of a national election
due in the late summer or fall, there are more
basic reasons for the favorable economic climate
in Canada. The first, and most obvious, is that
the Dominion has been enjoying a postwar
period Of record-breaking economic expansion.
The development of natural resources-oil and
metals in ~particular-and the steady growth
of the industrial plant have resulted in high
production, virtually full employment, sharp
increase in both foreign and domestic invest
ment and fourshing trade. The second
factor has been a careful and conservative
fiscal policy which has avoided hasty reduc-
tions in taxes and public revenue, and has
been directed at consistent control of the
public debt Using different formula from
ours for calculating its public debt Canada
quoted met" debt of $134 billion in 1946
as against about $11.4 billion for the fiscal
year soon to end The "gross" public debt is
approximately $6 billion higher than the net
figures.
During this period of keeping its own fiscal
house in order, Canada has also been an all
out participant in the efforts of the Western
community to improve their defense posture Wis
avis the Communist world and has met all
it's commitments in this regard It has likewise
been solid partner in the economic sphere
of the British Commonwealth. It has been a
good record and congratulations from south of
the border" are in order.
