Fitzpatrick, st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
From Behind the Bamboo Curtain
President of the United States of Amer
lea, is saying in his latest diplomatic
double-talk.
Here's what millions of patriotic
Americans would have liked him to say:
q "Set those Is Americans free and
unframed at the nearest port of en-
barkation by midnight of December is
COR some other definite date before
Christmas, else the following inevi-
table consequences will ensue: (a) A
total naval blockade of China will be
instituted; (b) Chinese Nationalist will
launch an offensive; and Co the
United States will take any other meas
ures necessary to accomplish the
prompt release of our nationals. This
is not bluff"
And it shouldn't be a bluff He
ought to mean ft-just as Teddy Roose-
welt meant it when he said. "Perdicaris
alive or Raisuli dead" under far less
provocation by Morocco in June of
1904. And, of course, Perdicaris was
freed in short order.
And at the same time send a note
to the U. S. S. r.: you keep out of
this if you want any buildings left
standing in Moscow"
This is the only kind of language
they understand, the only kind.

As Greater Woshinqton Grows

The Board of Trades population study
shows that the Washington area is under
going the same sort of suburban growth
that other large cities are experiencing.
While residential development within the
city is slowing up, expansion in all of the
surrounding territory is rapid and is con-
tinuing.
But there Is a difference between the
situation here and in most other metropoli-
tan centers. Elsewhere the movement of
residents from the city proper to. the SUBJ
urbs usually means no loss of tax revenue,
for most cities have extended their limits
to cover residential areas extending miles
outward from their centers And as urban
expansion continues, annexation proceed
ings are instituted to enlarge the city
boundaries.
Here, however, there is no possibility
of recovering lost revenues through an
nexation of adjoining communities. Nearby
Maryland and Virginia benefit tax-wise by
the infleXibility of the Districts political
limits. The universal movement from cities
to suburbs is bound to have some adverse
effects on such a city as the Nations Capital.
.
ment Committee shows that while Washing
ton is still growing, it's rate of population
rise is far short of that in adjacent Mary
land and Virginia counties Washington's
population grew per cent during the past
four years, whereas the gain for the whole
Metropolitan Area was nearly % per cent
for the same period
OF course, there are disadvantages as
we'll as benefits to the counties from the
population growth. While more taxpayers
are being added to the lists, the demands
for schools, sanitation facilities and other
public services are increasing faster than
most communities can keep pace with them.
The studies which Montgomery and other
counties have been making to find new tax
sources are an inevitable result of the phe-
nomenal influx of new residents in the
suburbs Such are the stresses and strains
which attend the accelerated growth of such
a metropolis as is developing on both sides
of the Potomac.

Reference is made to- news item,
November 80, concerning the applica-
ton of Leonard Rodman for liquor
license
MIR. Rodman made the statement: II
have never at any time or place or
before the United States House of Rep
resentatives, claimed or asserted the
rights and privileges guaranteed all
citizens by the Fifth Amendment of
the Constitution.
It is appropriate at this time for all
of us to review events of recent years.
Here is a man who will stand or fall
on his own record and the truth of his
own statements.
Can it be that the irresponsible pre-
disposition of Senator Mccarthy,
Velde and Jenner has reached down
into the hearts and minds of men,
thereby defiling the hearts of free men?

Tees Off on Presidents Critics

On reading Doris Fleeson on "Asia
Policy Battle Certain" was again re-
volted to the point of nausea to see in
print criticism of our Presidents va
cation habits at the end of her article.
am an ardent Democrat and do not
always agree with many of the policies
of the Eisenhower administration How
ever, fail to understand why some
people continually criticize the Pres
ident for his careful attempts to keep
himself in good health and mentally
alert by careful vacation schedules.
Our former President, Harry Tru-
dency is killing job. The responsible
ties and duties are huge. Why do
people insist that the President sit at
his desk and take only common two
week vacation once year? Such peo-
pie must be still living in the Victorian
Age, for do they not realize that it is
no longer necessary for the President
to physically sit himself on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to run the country? With
the advent Of rapid transportation and
complete communication, it is far easier
today to run the country from the ninth
hole at the Augusta golf course while
in good health than it is to run the
Nation from a bedroom in the White
House while suffering with influenza
due to Washington's bad weather.
I admire the President for his con-
Germ over his health and therefore his
Nations welfare, for it will be a sad
day, indeed, if Nixon ever becomes

A thumbnail sketch of his accom-

He has put the finger on two persons
he accused of being Communists,
namely Maj. Peress and Mrs. Annie

after two years of fearless effort!
He has placed his own spies and
informers in every Government Office
of any Importance and inform
ers pledged to hand over to him any,
thing they think he wants, classified
or otherwise
He has given aid and comfort to the
Kremlin by setting Senator against
Senator, department head against de-
partment head, religious sect against
religious sect, husband against wife,
brother against brother.

Good Partners at Rio

The first Western Hemisphere Economic
Conference has ended with gain in mutual
understanding
The ten-day session at Rio de Janeiro
had been sought by some of the Latin
American states since 1888 and finally was
arranged during the 10th Inter- American
Conference in Caracas last March. In brief,
the objective of those who sought the
economic meeting most eagerly was to
permit recital and discussion around a
hemisphere conference table of trade and
fiscal troubles which have plagued most of
these countries to an increasing degree in
recent years. Most of the troubles they felt,
have been with the United States-the
major purchaser of Latin-American raw
materials, the major Supplier of finished
goods to the rest of the hemisphere and
the major source Of outside investment
capital. A. frequent complaint was directed
at United States aid to other areas of the
world. Through various steps price sup
ports here for Latin American products, an
inter-American bank OF development capital
financed largely by, this country or even
broad program of direct economic aid
these states hoped for help in their diff
culties.
It was made clear enough by our dele
cation at Rio, headed by Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey, that this Government
is not prepared to undertake any of these
exact proposals. It was made clear, too,
although in friendly fashion, that many
economic troubles of the Latin Americans
are easily traceable to policies of their own
governments and practices of their own
businessmen. For example, tax structures
are often unfair to foreign investors and
inequitable to the local populations, cur
rency exchange and import restrictions are
discouraging to outside business interests
and local capital investment is far below
the level it could reach. At the same time
Mr.. Humphrey and his associates promised
an increasingly cooperative and sympa-
thetic attention to Latin American needs,
through such agencies as the Export
Import Bank, the World Bank and the
: recently conceived $100-million Interna-
tional Finance Corporation. There were
promises, too, of technical assistance on.

evaluating the results from the various
efforts discussed. In this latter connection
it was agreed that second hemisphere
meeting would be held in 1856 in Buenos
Aires.
In his greeting to the session, and in
a press conference comment on its closing,
President Eisenhower used the term good
partners" There. was, on the whole, an
atmosphere of partnerlike discussion Of the
mutual problems at Rio and feeling,
expressed by many Of the delegates, that
this first experiment In hemisphere eco
nomic consulta pa has been useful. ~

Questions Senator Brown

I read with establishment that Sen
ator Brown, 30-day interim appointee
for the late Senator McCarran of Ne
vada, thought that Senate censure of
Senator Mccarthy would violate the
Federal Constitution"
Naturally, assume that by this he
meant the Constitution of the United
States of America. therefore suggest,
and not in persifage, that temporary
Senator Brown be asked two questions:
Cd Has he ever read the Constitu-
ton of the United States in it's en-
tirety, including amendments?
CD If so, does he believe that he
understands it?
If these questions are answered in
the affirmative, the temporary Senator
should be asked just what provision
of the Constitution was violated by
cehSure' HI. C. Kincaid, MD.

to New York to receive a special
addition by the Ted Mack origi-
nal amateur hour staff. Mrs. NAL
fara and Carolyn received cash
awards.
The three finalists were winners
of semi-finals conducted Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights.
An applause meter registered the
winners those nights, but the Ted
Mack staff asked that a panel of
judges be selected for the finals.
1t was hard decision for judges
to make. Mrs. Malfara, mother of

VET GROUPS To
PROTEST rent
INCREASE HERE

Veterans organizations in North
western Ohio are uniting to pro-
test the proposed rent increases
in Erie Gardens and Macarthur
Park, Erie County. Erie Gardens
residents have been notified that
their rents will be increased as
of April 1.
At the v. F. w. Ninth District
convention in Wellington Sunday
Marblehead V. F. w. Commander
Paul Bennic submitted a resolu-
ton deploring the rent increases
and asking individual posts to
write congressman and to con-
tact veterans organizations to help
in the protest. The resolutions was
approved unanimously.
Residents at Erie Gardens claim
that unit rent has been increased
more than double since 1914 when
two-bedroom coal heated units
were said to have rented for $40.
Under the proposed rent increase,
like units will rent for $44.O0, af-
ter April 1.
Residents of Erie Gardens re-
ceived notices last week that the
Chicago Field Office of the Pub
lie Housing Administration has
determined to raise rents at the
local project effective April 1.
Increases in rents range from
$3.50 to $3.50 and there is an ex-
ira charge of fifty cents per month
in some units for gas clothes dry
er or gas refrigerator where
electric refrigerators are installed.
Coal heated units will rent as
follows, after April 1: one bed
room units, $40; two bedroom
units, $44, and three bedroom
units, $40.
Gas heated units will rent as
follows: one bedroom unit, $47.50;
two bedroom units, $500, and
three bedroom units, $3.50.
Dissatisfaction has arisen among
many tenants, who claim that Erie
Gardens was built as a war emer-
gency measure to provide cheaper
rent for veterans and war work
ers, and that the rents now are
comparable or higher than homes
elsewhere in the city.
