Verdict on Col. SchwubIe

I noted with satisfaction that in his
recent meeting with newsmen, Presi-
dent Eisenhower declined to comment
on the Oppenheimer case until findings
had been made. One can only wonder
if the case of Marine Col. Schwable
would have been reviewed differently
by the Commandant of the Marine
Corps if President Eisenhower had not
expressed an opinion while that investi-
CATION was in progress. If I recall cor
rectly shortly after board convened
to investigate Col. Schwable'S, activities
while prisoner of war, the President
expressed the opinion that an officer,
after having signed false confession,
should not be put in command of
troops. The statement of review by Gen.
Sheppard contained many basic and
well thought out comments on the sub
ject of prisoners of war, yet the recon-
mendations concerning Col. Schwable
so closely paralleled the thoughts ex-
pressed by the President that one must
wonder if the Presidents comments did
not influence Gen. Sheppard's thinking.
Prejudgment of a case by person in
high authority can be so harmful to
the cause of justice. We hope this dis
tressing incident had no effect on the
decision rendered Col. Schwable.

The citizens and voters of Chevy
Chase. Md, are pretty mad these days.
Recently each one received, on a
Sickly-green card, from the United
States Post Office, Washington 13, D. c.
cit used to be called the Washington
City Post Office the following COM
munication:
"Your address is located in postal
delivery zone Is.
Although this address is located in
Maryland, it is served by the Wash
ington, D. c.. post Office and this zone
number should be shown in the last
line of your address as Washington IS,
D. c.
You may also include your local
community name"
Now, that's nice of the postmaster,
to permit us to include the name of
the place where we live, pay taxes, and
vote!
In one little stroke of the pen he
would take away from us our citizen
ship in the Free State, at least as far
as mail address is concerned.
Those who live in nearby Maryland
definitely do not live in Washington.
D. C. (Secret! Some Of them at times
regret they do not.)
Just why Postmaster North wants to
change the facts Of geography they do
not know.
The fact is. each resident Of Chevy
Chase. Nd. definitely does live In
Maryland.
Evening star., 1954-05-04
By Charles E. TroceweN

them as an addenda, but as the main
fact of existence.
Postal rules and regulations cannot
alter geographical facts.
Such an attack as this upon the in
tegrity of the community is not the
only one the residents face.
A frontal assault was made a year
ago when real estate taxes were hiked
from SIS to 100 per cent. This tis re-
garded as both unfair and inequitable.
AS result, perhaps, scores of homes
in Chevy Chase, Md, today have For
Sale signs on them. (See Saturdays
real estate section.)
Another frontal assault comes from
The Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which has Or
dered the wholesale changing Of old
street address numbers.
Here again, no consideration is given,
as far as residents can see, to the
desires of the people.
A changed address number, especially
of homes many years old. means junk
ing all printed papers. mixing every
body up at Christmas card time. noti-
fication of numbers Of businesses and
others, and general confusion, not for
any genuine reason, but merely to
satisfy some man at a desk, the mod
ern communal Americanized version Of
Hitler ct al
The people of Chevy Chase, Md,
want to be let alone, to run their own
affairs, and not ordered around by
others.

Letters to The Star.

ing the practice Of some builders of
homes in our community to appear
short time afterwards. and in some in
stances at the same time, at a zoning
hearing, advocating rezoning of prop
erty that will result in reduced values
for the homes they have just sold.
We leave it to others to comment on
the ethics of that situation.
We agree Fundamentally with your
conclusion that property owners who
have invested in homes on the basis
of carefully drawn zoning regulations
are entitled to official protection against
ill-advised changes" Perhaps it should
be added that planning agencies would
do well to take second look, and per-
haps even third, at proposals which
would change existing residential pat
terms in the absence of clear and COM
pelling need-a need other than a desire
for a quick profit on an apartment
project. The current hearings in the
Senate on FILA housing programs and
the windfalls that have occurred for
apartment developers would seem to
warrant, at the least, a sizable measure
of caution.
Once more our appreciation for your
stand in support of the homeowners.

This and That

He definitely and positively pays tax
es in Maryland, including what he con-
siders as unfair real estate taxes.
He votes in Maryland.
He is in other words, a full-f1edged
citizen of Maryland.
Yet his mail, if Postmaster North has
his way, will be addressed to WASH
ington, D. c., where he does not live.
X
And so Mr.. North says:
You may also include your local
community name"
1t should be the other way around.
If Chevy Chase is part Of the Wash
ington city post Office delivery scheme
Of things, that fact might be put on the
envelope, but only as an aid to the
post Office.
The correct address. Chevy Chase.
Md" should go first, in all fairness to
keep records correct.
Then, If necessary, Washington Is.
D. c."
The whole thing shows how easy it
is for an official. even q good one, to
regard human beings as just cases, and
not as humans.
AS humans, the people who live in
Chevy Chase, are, with certain res
ervations, proud of their community,
its name, its location. its geography, the
fact that they are 100 per cent Ameri-
cans with full voting privileges.
They do not want their community
name put on envelopes addressed to

Party was also traceable to the impact
the Tennesseean made on millions dur
ing the sensational televised hearings
of the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee.
A third investigating committee
chairman. Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin. controversial figure
in the current Schine affair, would
probably still be semiobscure mem
ber of the Senate were it not for the
pay dirt he struck in his 1850 Wheel
ing, w. Va, Communists in Govern
ment speech.
A congressional probe, in the mind
of Woodrow Wilson, was "a semiiudi-
cial investigation into corners suspected
to be dirty" Somewhat less sanguine
is Senator Fulbright's explanation of
the powers of Congress to obtain infor-'
nation needed for guidance on legis-
lation and to inform the public on
matters of national interest: "(The
power to investigated is perhaps
the most necessary Of all the powers
underlying the legislative function. Ut)

ears of thinking mechanism"

right back in 1892 when the House
set up special committee to inquire
into the failure of the st. Clair expe-
