Citizens Group Urges
Recreation Be Put
Under District Heads

The Executive Board of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions last night asked that ad-
miniStration of the Recreation
Department be taken from the
Recreation Board and placed
under the District Commits
Sioners.
The full federation previously
has stood for an autonomous
Recreation Board 80 long as it
acted in the best interest of the
public and according to law" it
was noted.
In a strongly critical rcSolu-
ton last night. however, the
Executive Board of the citizens
group declared:
/. The Recreation Board has
on occasion acted arbitrarily ard
irresponsibly in making its de-
cisions."
2. Some officials of the Recre-
alton Department ARE not quail
flied under Public Law s34 10
carry out their responsibilities"
3. The Recreation Depart
ment lis in need of complete reor-
ganization for reasons of eff
cheney, economy and morale"
Reverses Previous Stand.
It was on recommendation of
it's Education Committee that
the Executive Board reversed its
previous stand for an autono-
nous board and requested
amendment of the law to place
the department under the Com
missioners.
The action was taken at a
special meeting held in the Of
fee of Joseph A. Kaufman.
federation president, SOB D
street NV.
It was understood that one
objection to the Recreation
Boards procedures was a feel
ing that it had acted "arbi-
trarily" in holding public hear
ings without giving adequate
notice to interested groups.
The Recreation Board last
Tuesday heard representatives of
Is civic and religious groups
line up. 20 to S, in favor of
opening white schools to colored
groups for night meetings. In
dividual letters, however. totaled
LOT against the proposal and 3
in favor.
Opposed Proposal.
The Citizens Federation had
taken stand against the pro-
posal last February 20.
The Recreation Board is
scheduled to decide April 13 on
the proposed change in its by
laws. Present policy permits in
terracial groups to use the
schools, but does not allow Negro
organizations to use white
schools.
The proposed new rule would
give the recreation superintend-
ent authority to issue permits
for the use of any school facil-
tiles at his own discretion.

Queried in Preinkert,
Lindstedt Cases

-Four men and a boy arrested
after their fleeing auto struck
two other cars and a building
were questioned today about a
liquor store burglary and the un-
solved Preinkert and LindStedt
murder cases.
The five were spotted in a
parked car as Police Pvts. B. F.
Kelly and Augustus Finley were
en- route to the Receiving Home
with two juveniles just picked
up in another offense.
After dropping off the juve-
niles. the policemen returned to
find the car speeding away from
its parking spot on Mt. Olivet
road. The police gave chase to
T street. where two of the occu-
pants of the fleeing car managed
to get out.
2 Parked Cars Struck.
Roaring at 70 miles an hour
west over the T street railroad
bridge near Fourth street NE,
the fugitiveS struck a parked
car. inf1icting 5000 damage, but
continued and at Lincoln road
struck a second parked car,
doing SIS damage.
BY then a patrol wagon had
Joined the chase and executed
a pinchers movement on the
speeding car at First street and
Rhode Island avenue NE. The
car ducked into an alley, not
very successfully as it scraped
the side of a building, and
stopped.
With three of the fugitives
collared. police back-tracked for
the other two and found them
walking on T street near the
bridge. They had heard the
first crash and were curious
enough to find out what hap
pened, they said.
Group Includes PugiIiSt.
Police said the 23-year-old
driver was so drunk he could
not answer questions. Also I'M
der arrest were men aged SO,
IL and 10, the latter identifying
himself as a boxer from Darby,
Pa, and a 15-year-old youth.
The latter youth was being
sought as an eScapee from the
Receiving Home. His bright
tangerine-colored jacket was
what caught the eye of the po-
licemen. All those arrested are
colored.
The driver, Bruce Hamilton
Bowie, %, of the 600 block of
Fairmont street NV, was
charged with leaving after col
liding, having no District permit
and driving at an unreasonable
speed.
A whisky bottle found in the
back of the car carried an iden-
LITIGATION of a liquor store at

and set of just over the Ellipse,
would cause $4,000 casualties in
the Bethesda Chevy Chase area
unless advance precautions
were in effect.
This SOLDERING warning comes
from the Operations Research
Office of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, which last night released
details of a study of Civil De-
tense measures and methods of
minimizing hydrogen bomb cas-
Lalties in a school district.
And. the report adds. that Of
the $4,000 casualties, 14.500
would be deaths.
The Operations Research Of
flee. a civilian scientific agency
under contract to the Army.
made its report as part Of a FIVE
year study of civil defense meas
ureS relating to the ArmyHs re-
Sponsibilities in a disaster. The
research Office based its study
on the Bethesda Chevy Chase
area and its population of about
81, 900 persons.
Model" Plan.
The operations research Office
collaborated with the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School and
its Parent-Teacher Association
to make a full-scale study and
disaster plan intended as a pro
totype and model" for commu-
mites anywhere.
The result. published today,
is a 136-page book that goes into
such minute details as the
monthly maintenance costs of
various warning systems that
might be installed in the school
building and advice to mothers
on improvising diapers during
period when clothes washing
might be impossible.
And the book, frankly de-
signed to shock citizens into &C
ton. begins with the words. In
Bethesda. we live for the first
time in 140 years in mortal dam
ger from a foreign enemy. .
A Soviet attack on Washington
teeters on the brink of happen
ing, becauSe-as with an oily rag
left with combustible material in
a basement-the conditions are
ripe for disaster"
The report by the research Of
fee did not go into the probable
casualties in the densely pOpu-
lated capital itself that would re-
suit from the hypothetical H
bomb blast above the Ellipse,
just south of the White House.
But for Bethesda Chevy Chase
it considered the effect Of attacks
at different times and with diff
ferent degrees of surprise.
Based on Night Attack.
The maximum casualty figure
was estimated for a surprise
night attack. A bombing with
out warning in the daytime
might cause fewer total casual
ties. but the probable death toll
was raised to 1900 on the
theory that more people might
be out of doors, exposed to heat,
blast and Tying debris.
Fifteen minutes warning. the
researchers calculated. would
bring night time casualties down
to 10000. including up to 1900
deaths, and daylight casualties
to $500, with up to $500 deaths.
And it said an adequate warm
ing system and shelters could
bring the number down near
zero.
Throughout, the book empha-
sizes the family as the basic
unit in defense.
Planning at the school is
based on getting as many stu
dents home as possible If there
is any warning time, and If the
homes are not more exposed
than the school. A comprehen-
sive civil defense organization
at the school itself is also out
lined.

Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson Taylor
Cutting OF Our Nose!

There is a case for and against
tariffs, all the arguments are COM
ing out again, now that the Presi-
dent has laid his foreign trade pro-
gram before Congress. 1t seems to us
that both sides have some good
points and that it is up to the
legislators to find a way of foster
ing U. S. trade abroad while afford
ing some protection for home in
dustries.
There's one point, however, that
can easily be overlooked in the
general argument. That's the fact
that, in addition to the tariff ques-
ton, there are also American pro-
pOsals to slap import quotas on GER
tain commodities. Now, tariffs are
a kind of tax on foreign products
and they can be used to level off
the difference between cheap labor
overseas and the higher American
wages. Quotas are something else
again. They arise when the govern
ment states fatty that only a GER
tain percentage of U. S. needs for a
particular commodity can be met
by buying abroad. For instance,
some Congressman are backing a
proposal that would cut drastically
the present level of heavy fuel oil
imports. These imports are already
subject to a tariff; the proposed
bill would simply put a ceiling on
the amount that could be imported
This legislation would be a major
blow to one of the United States
best custOmers-Venezuela. On a
per capita basis, Venezuela buys
more u. S. goods than any other
country in the world except Canada
And the South American country
has not received a nickel of U. S
Treasury funds in the form Ot
( grants. 1t buys from us in cash-tC
the tune of $3.50 million 1953-anC
it earns most of that cash by sell
ing us oil. It is also worth noting
that Venezuela's ability to expor
oil doesn't depend on cheap labor
American oil companies Operatin;
there report that wages for Vene
zuelan Oilfield workers are actual,
higher than those in the United
States.
Another thing, American business
men have been fighting the impor
quota system for years now it i
used much more widely by fOreigi
governments than by the Unite
States because it discriminate
against our goods. 1t doesn't he'll
our case when we use the sam
means to discriminate against i'm
ports from one of our best custC
merS.

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, testifying before the House
Foreign Affairs committee in sup
port of the Mutual Security Pro-
gram, revealed tOp-secret intelli-
gence reports that a Chinese Com
munist general is stationed at the
Dienbienphu headquarters of the
Vietminh commander, that there
are numerous other Chinese Red
military advisors '-Qder him in
IndO-China, that Req Chinese are
actually manning anti-aircraft guns
and shooting down French planes.
Under questioning by committee
members, Mr.. Dulles insisted that
technically" the Reds had not
yet qualified for the grave con-
sequences" with which he warned
them in his September speech in
ST. Louis. But he admitted they
were coming awfully close to it."
On Tuesday, the State Depart
ment asked that Britain, France,
Australia, New Zealand, the Philip
pines and Thailand join us in
united action" to warn Red China
against further aggression any
where in southeast Asia.
On Wednesday, President Eisen-
hover told his press conference that
Asia had already lost 450,000,000
people to Communism and that we
couldn't afford any further loses.
He compared the fall of indO-China
with the first of a row of standing
dOminoes that caused the rest to
fall, and suggested that after Indo-
China the sequence might be Bur-
ma, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula
and IndOnesia, which would expose
japan, FormOsa, the Philippines,
Australia and New Zealand. Asked
whether he favored bringing this
situation before the UN, the Presi-
dent declined to comment beyond
saying that it must not be handled
by one nation trying to act alone,

baked at the Dulles proposal of a
joint warning to the Reds and a
defense agreement. Both wanted

BABSON DISCUSSES HIGH SCHOOLS

BabsOn Park, Mass, April Is. NV
recent article on education in this
column brought a heavy corres-
pOndence from all over the United
States. want to share with you
the two points of view which these
letters seem to represent.
Down With Competition
One point of view comes from
the disciples of John Dewey. One
of these disciples, a high school
teacher, writes that she is shocked"
to think that businessmen have no
higher ideals or understanding than
that of competition" She pleads
that "an A achievement may be
only a d achievement for someone
else" and that it is much better
for the individuals development to
work on his level and compete
with himself, working to progress
as far as he cam This teacher
wrongly says, "A pupil gains con-
fidence only when measured by his
own possible growth and not his
neighbor's brains" l believe this
theory is wicked and unfair to the
student who must compete after
graduation with students on all
levels.
Of course an A achievement is
only a d achievement for someone
else; but ! am pretty sure the L
student can excel in something. Let
him find that something and move
in that direction That is where we
need guidance from a sympathetic
teacher. Let no student be dis.
couraged by work that he finds
hard or because he cannot make
A grades, too. This is not prepar.
alton for life, because life is moi
