Walter Again Insists
Corsi Was Member
OF Communist Group
By Mary McGrory

Representative Walter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania has re-
newed his charge that Edward
j. Corsi, State Department i'm
migration expert. was member
of an organization which Mr..
Walter calls Communist"
Mr.. Walter, chairman of the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities, on Monday cited
Mr.. Corsi. New York Repub-
lican who was formerly United
States commissioner of immi-
grafton, as a member of two
Communist" organizations.
One was the American Com
mittee for the Protection Of the
Foreign-Born and the other was
the National Lawyers Guild.
Mr.. Corsi. who was called in
by the President to speed up the
administrations tagging refugee
program. said there was moth
ing at all" to Mr.. Walter S
charges. and Mr.. Walter later
said he was sin error" about
Mr.. Corsi's membership in the
National Lawyers Guild.
Claims to Have Proof.
However, in a letter dispatched
yesterday to Assistant Secretary
of State Thruston B. Morton,
Mr.. Walter offered proof" of
Mr.. Corsi's membership in the
American Committee for the Pro-
lection of the Foreign Born. In
the letter he enclosed a photo
stat of a pamphlet by the late
Representative Vito Marcan-
tonic. dated August, 1914. in
which Mr.. Corsi was listed as an
organizer and a member of the
board of directors of the organi-
zation.
Mr.. Corsi, longtime Industrial
Commissioner for Gov. Dewey of
New York, was not available for
comment on Walters letter.
Mr.. Walter, meantime, added
another organization he called
Communist dominated" to his
list of Mr.. Corsi's memberships.
This was the Greater New York
Emergency Conference on In
alienable Rights. State Depart
ment Press Officer Henry Suy-
dam, whose defense of Mr.. Corsi
prompted Mr.. Walters letter,
quoted Mr.. Corsi as having no
recollection of the group at all.
tits possible his name was on
q letterhead or something, but
all that was a long time ago and
he has no recollection" Mr.. Suy-
dam said.
Cited by Attorney General
The American Society for the
Protection of the Foreign Born
was cited as subversive by the
Attorney General in May, 1948.
1t was cited by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activ-
tiles in 1912 and again in 1914
The question of Mr.. Corsi's
affiliations came up during a
hearing on revision of the Refu-
gee Relief Act. Representative
Celler. Democrat. of New York
suggested that the present ad-
miY1iStrat0r State Der,artynant
Security Chief Scott Mcleod, was
being eased out" and that Mr.
Corsi, whom he called IAN esti-
mable gentleman" was being
eased in"
Mr.. Waiter said the prospect
"deeply disturbed" him. 1t was
then that he made his charges
about Mr.. Corsi's affiliations.

Ideas
For
Women
BY JULIA KNOTT
(CP&L Company Economistl

Like an electric range, refrig-
orator. or freezer. an electric
washer for the home laundry is
quite an investment family bud
get-wise. With an interest in
gaining the most from your
present or proposed investment
let's analyze the home laundry
situation. We can handle only
one or two phases of it per arti-
Gle SO if you're interested only
in certain aspects keep looking
because it will probably appear
sooner or later.
What do you expect Of home
laundering:
l. Clothes truly white-free of
stains.
2. Colored clothes bright, not
faded.
3. Clothes free Of lint.
a. Clothes free of soap or de-
tergent.
5. Starch evenly distributed
when used.
6. Clothes free Of hard water
scum (this will actually show on
dark materially
7, No color transfer from COL
ored clothes to white ones.
8. Clothes free from the odor
of bleach.
9. Seams not frayed or fabric
strained from overwashing or
Overlooking.
These are good standards for
home laundering whether it be
hand, by automatic or conven-
tional washers.
Just like other major house
lold appliances already discuss
ed, your electric washer needs
only minimum care to give you
long years of satisfactory serv-
ice. Pride of ownership prompts
most of us to take care of our
property. Such respect for prop
erty influences your neighbor's
esteem for you, and you've COW
red the first milestone of good
concentrating.
l. Keep your appliance clean
md dry. Wipe off all accessible
areas.
,. Apply and keep a coat of
wax on painted and porcelainiz-
cd exterior finishes.
B. Remove and clean under
movable parts-such as washer
iSitatorS and sediment traps.
4. Always wipe out the tub.

One-fourth of the residents of
Prince Georges County live in
Chillum and Adelphi. areas
proud of their independence and
quick to defend themselves
against encroachment by border
ing cities and towns.
Unincorporated but not unor-
ganized, the communities con-
tain the densest-populated Sec
tions of the county. Yet until
10 years ago developers and
home seekers alike were giving
Chillum and Adelphi a wide
berth.
After a decade of tremendous
immigration. .Chillum is just
about filled up. In Adelphi,
development has settled down to
q steady pace, with plenty of
land available for future growth.
Boundaries Indefinite
The boundaries of the two
areas are indefinite. but deter
mined mostly by the abutting
incorporated areas.
Chillum, where about 10000 of
the areas population is concen-
trated, is bounded by the Dis
trict line on the south, on the
west by Takoma Park and on the
east by College Park and Hyatts-
vile.
University lane Is the north
ern limit of Chillum and the
southern limit of Adelphi, which

ming Commission and the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission can provide all the
services that Adelphi and Chill
lum require.
The Adelphi association was a
strong supporter of legislation,
enacted at the 1855 session of the
General Assembly, which elimi-
mates the need for special inn
provement districts, used to fur
nish special services such as gar
bage collection, street lights,
streets or street signs. The
county now can provide such
needs and assess property owners
for the cost.
Significantly. the bill was
pushed by Delegate Carlton r.
Sickles, who resides in the
Adelphi section.
Nature of Growth
The independent spirit OF
Adelphi and Chillum springs
from the nature of its growth,
which was Influenced to a great
extent by an unusual factor: The
Old Soldiers Home in Washing
ton.
Until the end of World War II,
the home cast a long shadow
northward over a wide swath of
Prince Georges County.
The course of migration split
westward toward Takoma Park
and Montgomery County and
eastward to Hyattsville, River
dale and Bladensburg, avoiding

The youngest department. in
the county. it maintains two

vides service from the District
line northward through the area
to Adelphi road and Pisgah

Chief James r. Welsh recalls
that the department was born
when sponsors raped on doors"
and pleaded for contributions.
New residents believed that the
county provided fire protection
services and that the firemen
were paid. This belief is slowly
being dispelled and wider sup
port is being given by residents.
New roads will help solidify
the area.

center and recreation area, and
supported the organization of the
Chillum- Adelphi Volunteer Fire
Department.
Further needs will be sought
through established government
agencies, says Mr.. Bowen.
Points to Recent Victory
He points out that the associa-
ton won a victory recently when
street lights were installed on
Riggs road, for two miles north
of University lane. The costs
were borne by proceeds of the
Scent metropolitan district tax,
eliminating the creation of a
special improvement district.
This method can be used for
future extensions of urban serv-
ices, he says.
Several new additions to the
area are tending to unity the
citizens of Adelphi and Chillum.
The High Point School, in the
northern section, opened last fall.
enrolls pupils from both Chillum
and Adelphi. It's expected to
reach its capacity Of 1000 pupils
next September.
Planned is a junior high school
in the Buck Lodge area, which
also will draw pupils from both
Chillum and Adelphi.
The recreation area at Adelphi
Mill will be fully used this sum-
mer by both sections.
And the um-Adelphi Fire

improve Riggs road from the
District line to Pisgah Church
road, relocating large segments
of it.
University lane is in process Of
widening, and through the
Adelphi area will run the inter-
county beltway.
Hold to Master Plan
Generally, the citizens groups
hope to guide future development
with the master plan as an
index. They expect therell be
attempts to white away at the
plan, but so far the association
has mustered strength at the
critical moments to preserve and
protect their neighborhoods from
scattered placement of business
or industry.

Riggs road runs like a back
bone through both Chillum and
Adelphi.
The sections have two jointly
shared hubs-one at University
lane and New Hampshire ave-
nue., site of the Langley Park
shopping center, and the other
at Riggs road and University
lane.
The Langley center is the big
gest shopping center in the
Chillum-Adelphi section. Lans-
burgh's store, now in process Of
construction, will boost the
center's rating from an area toaa
regional trade center.
Big Apartment Projects
Both sections contain big
apartment projects: Langley
Park, Greenlawn, Northwest,
Chillum Heights and Chillum
Manor.
The meteoric spread Of hous-
ing has produced problems, but
none so great. civic leaders say,
that a municipal government
must be set up to solve them.
TITS too late for starting a new

president of the 'Adelphi Citizens
Association.

C. Warren Giauque, planning
engineer of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, explains the trend
this way:
Before 1945. main northward
arteries leading into Prince
Georges County from the Dis
trict were New Hampshire ave-
nue. and Michigan avenue. The
vast gap between them origi-
mated in the District and sent
traffic-and development-along
combinations of those paths.
Building of new roads and
modernization of old ones after
1945 started a building boom.
me-Seekers Controlled
In what is now the Adelphi
area, the established residents
banded together to form the
Northwest Citizens Association,
with the goal of controlling the
expected invasion Of District
home-SeekerS.
Mrs. Charles P. Saylor, who
lives on Riggs road in the north
ern portion of Adelphi, spanked
the early policy fights Of the
association.
Takoma Park, College Park,
Mount Rainier and Hyattsville
all looked upon Chillum and
Adelphi as prospective annexa-
ton material, she says. This as
sumption was spiked when resi-
dents opposed any doubling-up

Of political machinery or the tax
structure.
Out of this grew demands for q
stronger county government.
The unsuccessful charter home
rule movement of 1852 was
strongly supported in the
Adelphi- Chillum area, Mrs. Say
lor recalls.
In 1850, the Northwest Citizens
Association changed its name to
the Adelphi Citizens Association
and persuaded the planning
commission to promote the
Adelphi name, which was taken
from the old Adelphi mill on
Riggs road.
A big victory in the identifying
process came when the Post
Office Department yielded to
citizens pleas and established
the Adelphi station at Riggs road
and University lane.
AS the area grew. the associa-
ton formed councils in the new
housing developments: Langley
Park, Adelphi Knobs. Adelphi
Manor, Adelphi Hills, Heit-
muller Estates, Knollwood and
Powder Mill Estates.
The parent association backed
coming and the planning COM
missions master plan, fought
for the Langley Park shopping
center as the regional trade dis
trict. proposed school sites, en-
couraged the restoration of the
Adelphi mill as a community
