IT ISN'T TRUE!

In the wake of flying rumors
that the Housing Project is con-
demned, comes the statement
from the mayor that this is not
true. This project was built
under government supervision
and inspected by government
inspectors. There is and has
never been any indication that
any portion or part of the said
project is condemned.
Any rumors of any sort re-
1ating to such a thing is entire
ly without basis and should be
stopped Immediately.
The reason for the delay in
moving in is that water pressure
is not sufficient at the present
time to permit these additional

Plain Talk
! By ELINOR WHITE
NEGRO PSYCHOLOGY

The great trouble with our
race is, that everybody seems
bent on pining over the white
mans attitude to the race in
dividually and collectively, as
if he is doing something not hui
man or natural. The history of
the contact of races, shows that
a powerful or dominant race is
always disposed to look down
upon competitive races with the
unfriendly eye, and do every
thing possible to hinder and
handicap such a race individual
ly and collectively in any pos
sible competitive growth. The
Negro himself, when he was a
racial and imperial power, treat
ed the less fortunate races with
contempt and did not spend
much time in beWailing the dis
advantages suffered through Ne
gro domination, but organized
his forces to successfully COM
bat an overflow of that domino
ton. How we'll he has succeeded
is made evident by his unique
position today, and now it be-
comes the Negroes turn to strug-
gle from beneath. In this strug-
gle it is advisable not to pay
so much attention to the white
man in his brutal and unreason-
able attitude. but to concentrate
on the cooperative forces of race
and overcome all threatened diff
ficulties.
The difference of races is
purely difference of character

The News-Free Press period
ically tees off against iva which
Mr.. Mcdonald assails as "tax-
eater" and Notwithstanding
less" He says that stand doesn't
hurt the papers advertising
revenues.
In 20 years, the Government
has appropriated almost $18 bill
lion for the iva of which $500
million has been charged to the
power account. The IVA has
paid back Sill million out of
power revenues and is supposed
to liquidate the power investment
in 40 years.
Mr.. Mcdonald. however, Is
skeptical of repayment. He bor-
rows a phrase from the late
Wendell Wilkie to describe the
"TVA yardstick" for regulating
power rates as a rubber yard
stick" He says that the low rates
are out of line with the Govern
ment investment in all the big
power dams because the rate
base has been held down by
allocating charges against flood
control and navigation that
properly should have been as
sessed against the cost of gem
Grating the power.
Called "Socialistic."
The IVA also is constantly
under attack by the Southern
States Industrial Council which
operates out of Nashville under
Thurman Sensing, with 10000
members in Is States.
Composed of businessmen. the
council condemns the iva as
a "socialiStic" and points to it
as a horrible example of Gov
eminent competition with pri-
vate business.
Mr.. Sensing wryly comedies,
however, that IS per cent of
the people of the Tennessee VAL
ley favor the vast power project.
And asks meaningly: why
wouldn't they?"

newly perfected rose in part of
a 27-acre tract in West Potomac

Bockstoge With Sontu
By Frank SortweII, Jr.

Santa Claus sits today in de-
partment stores around town, his
lap full of children, his speech
full of equivocation and his
mouth full of yak hair.
With Christmas drawing near,
The Star yesterday sent one of
it's reporters to sit in for the
Arlington Hecht Co. Santa.
Decked out in red and ermine,
with a large wig and an equally
large white beard, the reporter
sat dozens of little boys and girls
on his lap and rumbled, "And
what do YOU want for Christ
maS?"
No Promises.
"A walking doll and a paint
set and an anagrams game" re-
piled one moppet. Santa-under
strict instructions from store
officials not to promise anything
vowed that he'd see. After a
glance at a smiling mother
nearby, he amended that to say
he'd see the child Christmas eve.
The little girl flung her arms
about him, delivered a kiss and
almost unshipped his beard.
From the end of the line came
falsetto cries of "Ie isl" and
HE is mott" Hes real!" Hes
not!' The boys arguing the
matter evidently came to be of
one mind by the time they
reached Santa's knee, because
no one accused him of being
phony. No one pulled his beard,
either.
Obedient? No!
The oldest clients Santa had
were two brothers. 9 and 10.
Both wanted English racers. !"
These, it turned out. are bicycles.
A pair of 9-year-olds wanted

Sometimes she had. Sometimes

so he promised he would confer
with his elves and do his best,
if she was obedient until Christ
mas. She hoped down with a
smile.

Jury Conyiicts
Man Despite
Insanity Plea
'lnsune-ut- ime'
Plea FuiIs Man
In Robbery Trial

A 28-year-old man was con-
victed today of the SOL holdup Of
the Ebbitt Hotel in September.
1852, despite the contention of
defense counsel that the de-
PENDANT was insane at the time
of the crime.
The man convicted is Charles
w. Douglas Of the 1900 block
of NJ street NV. A jury in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia had deliberated
about 10 hours before reaching
it's verdict.
Judge F. Dickinson Let's, who
presided at the trial, referred the
case to the probation officer for
investigation, pending sentence,
for which no date was set. Doug
las faces a maximum possible
penalty of 5 to Is years impris-
onment.
Found of Uns0und Mind.
Douglas, who also still faces
trial on two other robbery
charges, was found of unsound
mind at a court hearing in De-
cember, 1852, not long after be-
ing indicted. Last September 10
Douglas was found of sound
mind and competent to stand
trial. Psychiatrists at st. Eliz-
abeths Hospital reported he had
recovered last July.
DR.. Amino Perretti, PSYCHE
artist of District General Hos
pital, and DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert,
formerly of that hospital but
now a psychiatrist at st. Eliza
beths Hospital, both reported
they examined Douglas in De-
cember. 1852, and found him of
unsound mind. Both testified
at the trial that they believed
Douglas had been of unsound
mind at the time Of the robbery
and even before it.
DR.. Leon K. Epstein, psychia-
trist at st. Elizabeths Hospital,
testified he could not say wheth-
er the defendant was of sound
or unsound mind at the time of
the holdup.
Describes Robbery.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Harold H. Titus, jr., who
prosecuted Douglas, argued that
the defendant had not operated
as if insane at the time of the
robbery. He told the jury of
Douglas appearing in the hotel
lobby. staging the robbery and
leaving to make an escape in an
automobile.
Other indictments still pend
ing against Douglas accuse him
of a $121 holdup of the Parkside
Hotel, 1900 block of I street NV,
and a SO robbery of the Court
Hotel. 400 block of Sixth street
NV, both in September, 1852.

Rock Creek Pollution
Fight 10 Be Opened
In Bethesda Sunday

A move to combat pollution of
Rock Creek will be launched Sum-
day at a meeting at the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase High School,
Bethesda, Md.
The meeting has been called
by the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin for the
purpose of forming a Rock Creek
Watershed Council to carry out
an intelligent watershed pro-
gram for the entire creek basin.
Lawrence M. Fisher, acting
commission director, said repre-
sentatives from all interested
organizations have been invited
to attend Sundays meeting. He
said members Of other success
full watershed developments will
be on hand to describe how
watershed problems in other
areas have been solved.
Hoke to Explain Work.
| Among those expected to at
tend the meeting is Solomon

farmer and head of the Monoc-
acy Waterhed Council. Mr..
Hoke will describe how his ceun-
/ Gil is undertaking to prevent
erosion and pollution of the
Monocacy River and it's head
water streams.
Successful demonstrations are
now being carried out on Pipe
Creek, one of the headwater
streams of the Monocacy Basin,
and one that has contributed to
the erosion problem in that
basin.
Other organizations expected

American Forestry Association,
the American Tree Association,
the American Watershed Coun-
Gil, the Audubon Society, the
Wilderness Society, the Izaak
Walter League, the Wildlife
Management Institute and the
American Soil Conservative

To Block Flow of Wastes.
Mr.. Fisher said the main rea-
son for forming a Rock Greek
Watershed Council is to prevent
sewage and industrial wastes
soil washings, silt and other
polluting materials from reach
| ing the creek and its tributaries
and ultimately polluting the
Potomac River.
Mr.. Fisher said a leading in
fiuence in bringing the meeting
about was the Washington
chapter of the National Sol
Conservation Society.
The Rock Creek watershed
including about IS square miles
extends from the Potomac t.
Laytonsville. Md, a distance o.
about % air miles. 1t average!
about three and one-half mile'
