Eliminating an Eyesore

Elimination of WaShington'S most notorious
slum area often photographed with the Capitol
as a background, has been brought closer to
realization as result of the fund allotments
Just made by the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. The Federal loan and grant will insure
early action in clearing the unsightly 76-acre
Area in Southwest Washington and beginning
its Transformation into an up-to-date residen-
tial and small business community.
Through the cooperation of the HHFA, the
District Redevelopment Land Agency is assured
of $88 million as temporary Federal loan to
start the big job and of grant of up to $63
million with which to help in repaying the
advance The remainder of the loan is to be
repaid from funds derived from resale of the
land to private developers. For this initial
Southwest redevelopment project is to be essen
italy private undertaking under Federal and
District sponsorship.
The District will contribute of course, but
its investment will benefit the city as whole.
A major part of the Districts contribution will
be the construction Of the Southwest Freeway,
q through traffic artery that will cut across the
Southwest to form link in the belt highway
around the congeSted downtown section, OF
Washington. The freeway will feed into the
Fourteenth street bridges and areas west Of
Fourteenth street. The District also will i'm
prove the Randall Junior High School and the
Randall playground and provide other public
works.
Area does not yet have clear sailing, of
course There are still many problems to be
solved, not the least of which is the rehousing,
temporarily or permanently, of families dis
placed by the razing of the unsightly alley and
other disgraceful dwellings in the affected Sec
tion. Plans for this rehousing operation already
are being worked out however. Success Of the
whole enterprise hinges in large part on the
success of the rehouSing program.
Once the redevelopment Of Area is out Of
the way, the planners can concentrate on the
even bigger task of rebuilding the remainder of
the blighted Southwest, extending all the way
to the waterfront. Important questions regard
ing this next move must be settled, chief of
which is the extent to which the area is to be
upgraded. This issue, now being debated, is i'm
portant to the future Of the city in general
for it will have a bearing on the tax revenues
which may be expected IN the future from this
now rundown area. The public interest Of the
city as a whole logically should be considered,
therefore, in arriving at a decision on the next
step in redeveloping Southwest washington.

Crime as Viewed by Juror

During the summer term of 1949 I
had the privilege Of serving as fore
man Of the District grand jury. Upon
completion of my duties and dismissal
of the jury. the late Judge Alan Colds
borough of Federal Court granted per-
mission to enter a statement concurred
in by all members Of the grand jury.
That statement contained several rec
concentrations relative to the lessening
of crime in the District.

Europe. He leaves that post now with the
opinion that those forces are "in high state
Of readiness to meet any emergency" an
opinion that is shared by many Of his military
associates Considered among those associates
as "a soldiers soldier" General Eddy Is given
much Of the credit for bringing his troops to
that high state Of readiness.
As with General Van Fleet another of the
same type of lighting officer, General Eddy is
another victim" of the mandatory retirement
at age of so.

Confession From the KremIin


an extraordinary thing in generating and free
ing the doctors arrested last January while
Stain was alive) on charges of having killed
or plotted to kill high Soviet of1cials. Perhaps
the most striking aspect of the development
Is that 1t amounts to an open admission that
the Communist dictatorship is not above max
Ing mistake or committing an act of gross
injustice. AS far as can be recalled offhand
this is the first time since the Boshevik revolu-
ton in 1917 that the Moscow hierarchy has
ever confessed to such a degree of fallibility.
All Russia must be astounded by the event.
Moreover, in announcing the exoneration,
the Kremlin has not only admitted grave
miscarriage of justice, but has also revealed
that strictly forbidden" means of investigation
were used to build up case of utterly false
evidence against the doctors. The means have
not been described, but they presumably in
cluded frame-up techniques involving some sort
of physical or psychological torture to force
the accused into making phony confessions.
In sense, Willingly or unwittingly, the revela
ton reflects on the nature of the police state
run by the late Josef Stain. In addition it
lends further strength to the free worlds sus-
picion Of fraud in connection with numerous
past arrests and purge trials" throughout the
Soviet empire-such as last November's trial"
OF Rudolf Slansky and others in Czechoslovakia.
Apparently, apart from whatever may be
its exact meaning in terms of Russia's internal
policy, this sensational admission of error, and
Of "impermissible" police work, represents
another facet of the Malenkov regimes peace
offensive. When first arrested. the doctors-a
majority of them Jews-were branded as "ter-
roriSt" agents Of American English war
mongerS" working in connivarce with Zionist"
organizations and international Jewish bour-
geoiS-nationaliSt" conSpiratorS. Coupled with
similar accusations made at the Czech trial"
these chargeS-followed by a complete diplo-
matte break with ISrael--indicated that the
Stain dictatorship had embraced anti-Semitism
for such purposes as gaining ground in the
Arab Middle East, appealing to neo-NaM ele-
ments in Germany and adding fresh fuel to its
incendiary hate -the-West campaign. But now,
the post-Stalin Kremlin has cleared the accused
including the United States-of even the sus-
picion of having plotted to kill of Soviet big
wigs, and thus another conciliatory step has
been taken.
All this adds up to one of the more spec
tacular of the olive branches that the Malenkov
regime has been brandishing in recent days.
But the most startling feature of the doctors
exoneration still seems to rest in the fact that
the Kremlin, in announcing 1t, has in effect
proclaimed to the world that the Communist
dictatorship under the great and infallible
Stain erred gravely and employed wicked
methods to concoct false evidence against inno-
cent men. The Russian and satellite peoples
must be asking themselves how many times this
sort of thing has happened In the past, and
how many good and honest individuals have
gone to the gallows or been shot because of 1t.

Why Only Three Atomic Blasts by Reds?

'0eV1ceS. Each OF these devices" each
Of these blasts, marks important prog
ress in our development OF nuclear
ornaments. Those armamentS, as they
exist today, are tailored for both tacti-
cal and Strategical purposes. Some are
aStonishingly smaller in bulk and con-
siderably less destructive than the
Hiroshima type bomb, and others
altogether aside from the unimaginably
deadly hydrogen weapon - are several
times more powerful, giving out an
energy release ranging upward from
100000 tons Of INT.
Considered against such a back
ground-a background Of 40-plus
American "nuclear diagnostic tests
the three Soviet explosions seem
significant chiefly because Of the defl-
cheney they suggest. They suggest that
the Kremlin's atomic program-whic
apparently is being directed by Law
renty Beria, whose power may be equal
to Premier Malenkov'S tagging very
far behind ours. True enough, our high
est authorities have warned that the
Russians have supply of A-weaponS.
but still the mystifying fact remains
that they have staged precious few test
detonationS. And there can be no doubt
that test detonations are absolutely eS-
sential to the development of formi-
dable arsenal of tactical and Strategical
nuclear armamentS,> not to mention the
hydrogen bomb.
In the circumstances, even though
they may be wishful In doing so, nom
scientific. non-military laymen can
hardly be blamed If they tend to low
rate the Soviet Unions present atomic
capacity. That is to say, they can hard
ly be blamed If they are tempted to
attach importance to speculative pos
sibilitieS like the following: "a That
the Russians have run into serious
trouble operating and maintaining the
intricate equipment needed for the pro-
duction Of fashionable material, or (2)
that they have too small supply Of
that material to permit frequent tests
and have therefore frozen" their out
put of A-weapons into the mold of
something comparable to our crude
Hiroshima-type bomb.
It would be hazardous in the extreme,
of course. for the free world to bank
on such possibilities or to draw comfort
from them. Even so, when measured
against our own country's vastly greater
experimental effort, the Soviet program
of three test explosions seems strikingly
meager, to say the least. Could it be
that the Russians as Of now-not neces-
sarily two or three years from now
are rank amateurs compared to us in
this field? Conceivably they are. Con-
ceivably-just conceivably-the riddle
Of the thing may help to explain, in
part, why the poSt-Stalin Kremlin
regime has begun suddenly to COO like
dove.
