The aim of the movement, in
DR.. Buchman's words, is peace

Of how spiritual change in in
dividuals can bring an answer
to international problems.
Everybody wants to see the

Buchanan. Every nation wants
to see the other nation changed.
But everybody is waiting for the
other fellow to begin.
IF you want an answer for
the world today, the best place
to start is with yourself and

for MRA's principles is mot who

Transfer to Woman
Refusing Answers

The Alcoholic Beverage Com
troll Board has refused to trans
fer a package store liquor license
to three persons because one Of
them refused to answer questions
about membership in the COM
murist Party on the ground it
might tend to incriminate her.
Leonard Rodman, Albert PEARL
man and Mrs. Rebecca Pearlman
had applied for transfer to them
of a retailers "a" license at 703
Eighteenth street NV.
The board. in the first case Of
its kind here. refused the trans
fer. after Mrs. Pearlman cited
the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution as grounds for re-
fusing to say whether she or her
husband, Louis Pearlman, had
been members of the Petworth
Club Of the Communist Party.
Reports Investigated.
The board issued finding Of
fact which stated:
During its routine investiga-
tion of the applicants, we re-
ceived numerous derogatory re-
ports concerning alleged Com
munist activities of one Rebeccai
Pearlman. One Government
agency filed a copy of certain
hearings before the House of
Representatives. committee on
Un-American Activities. from
which it appears from the testi-
mony of Mary Stalcup Mark
ward, that Louis Pearlman and
his wife, Rebecca Pearlman,
were members of the Communist
Party of the District of Colum-
bia assigned to the Petworth
Club of the District Of Colum-
bia as late as 1850.
When called before the board
on November 5. 1854, Mrs. Re-
becca Pearlman, under oath,
substantiated several of the de-
rogatory reports namely: That
she had signed petitions for the
release of Julius and Ethel Ros-
enberg and worked to prevent
them from being executed as
traitors. She further stated that
she had participated in the pick
citing of the White House on
behalf of the Rosenbergs on
June 19. 1863.
Refuses to Answer.
I'm her application, Mrs. Pearl
man stated the name of her
husband was Louis Pearlman.
When she was asked If she and
her husband were, or had been.
members of the Petworth Club
Of the Communist Party. she re-
fused to answer the question,
her right to refuse under the
Fifth Amendment of the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. She
refused to answer further ques-
tions and said all other questions
of similar nature would be an
swered in the same manner. The
board was therefore, unable to
secure further information con-
corning the numerous other al
legged Communist activities of the
aforesaid Rebecca Pearlman. >. !.

PurtIy on Holding
Sales Taxes in D. c.

Permission to build a four
story. 100000 parking garage
near South Capitol and Atlantic
streets will be sought from the
Districts Board of Zoning Ad-
justment at public hearing on
Wednesday.
James C. Wilkes, attorney re-
presenting Fred S. Kogod, says it
is another skirmish in ''the battle
for the sales tax" between the
District and Maryland.
Two suburban shopping CEN
ters are involved-Mr. Kogod's
on South Capitol street at At
lantic, and a new one going up
in Maryland, q mile on down
South Capitol street at the Dis
trict line.
The latter Is the Eastover
Shopping Center. which adtetises
1t will open next spring with SIS
stores and parking space for
2,400 carsand whose taxes will
60 to Maryland.
Residential Zone Nearby.
Mr.. Kogod's block which he
says produces more than So, 200 a
year in real estate taxes alone.
lies along South Capitol between
Atlantic street and Chesapeake
street S. w. The strip between
South Capitol and the parallel
alley just west has been built UP
in the last six years with a dozen
stores and the Congress Heights
Presbyterian Church.
Behind the alley is a hillside
topped by what some day will be
paved as a street called South
Capitol Terrace. The hillside Is
zoned for residential use only.
At Wednesdays hearing in
the board room of the District
Building, Mr.. Wilkes will argue
that the hillside cannot be used
for residential purposes and that
the zoning Board should grant
a variance to let Mr.. Kogod
build the garage he plans.
One point Mr. Wilkes stresses
is that the garage would be fitted
right into the side Of the hill
and would not extend above the
level of South Capitol Terrace
for most of its length
Tree Screen Contemplated.
Thus, residents OF homes
which might some day be built
on the west side of South Cap
itol Terrace would never find
themselves looking into the side
of a garage.
And. Mr.. Koged SAID. he might
even put up trees along South
Capitol terrace to screen of any
view of the garage root
The parking garage itself, Mr.,
Kogod said, would be long,
narrow ramp-type structure de-
signed ultimately to hold $50 au-
tomobiles-without any charge.
Like several recently con-
structed downtown parking ga
RACES, MIR. Kogod's would have
open sides. And. Mr.. Wilkes
pointed out, it will be the first
multi-story parking garage built
outside OF the downtown area.
Only two Storiees- with 22O
spaces-would be built at first,
Mr.. Kogod said. with the others
to be added later.
The block now has two small
parking lots, and cars are being
parked on vacant land nearby,
including part of the cutaway
hillside.
Obviously, however, there is
not enough parking space for
all those who want to use the
shopping center at busy periods.
And, to add to the parking
problem. the Atlantic Theater
is just across the street to the
north.
If parking continues difficult
there, Mr.. Kogod contends, po-
tential customers are going to
60 to the new Maryland sdop-
ping center just across Soutlr-
ern avenue. with It's Z, 400 park
ing spaces.
