The National Capital Housing
Authority is "scraping the bot
tom of the barrel" for public
housing sites within the District.
James Ring, executive director
Of the authority, said that, if
sites are not made available in
the city's land redevelopment
areas, he has no idea how low
income families displaced by re-
development can be relocated in
decent, clean and sanitary places
they can afford.
Mr.. Ring voiced his warning
in a seminar on relocation prob
lens, sponsored by the WASH
ington Urban League yesterday.
He pointed out that NCHA al-
ready has requested the Federal
Public Housing Administration
for authority to build 1900 addi-
tonal dwelling units on eight
separate sites here. He said, how
ever, that this will be enough
only to accommodate the farni-
lies displaced from the South
west redevelopment project
Area B.
Plans even now are being ham,
mered out for redeveloping the
much larger Area c. Another
panel member, Herman Schmidt,
chairman of the minority hous-
ing commission Of the Home
Builders Association of Metro
politan Washington. declared

difficult because fewer residence
are likely to be built there than
the number now available.
Mr.. Ring said that, when the
urban renewal program gets
under way here, there must be
a total mobilization of the COM
munity to take care of family
relocation.
Citizens can't stand aside
and leave the job to public
agencies" he declared. And. he
added, Private housing builders
must do more than ever before
to provide rehousing facilities"
James G. Banks, relocation
officer of the District Redevelop-
ment Land Agency, that the
Project Area B relocation job
which started 16 months ago has
involved 794 families. About 46
per cent Of these have gone into
public housing and the bulk of
the rest into private dwellings.
Mr.. Banks said the agency's
advisory committee on relocation
has given much help to officials,
but has been unable to do a
100 per cent job" due to lack
of funds.
Others who participated in the
panel discussion were John No
len, jr., planning director of
National Capital Planning Com
mission, and Harry B. Weiss,
chief of the tenancy and reloca-
ton section Of the Baltimore
Housing Authority.

Liquor Issue
To Be Aired

The District Commissioners
agreed yesterday to hold a public
hearing before they decide on a
plea to change liquor regulations
that establish a 400-foot dis
tance between packaged goods
stores and churches.
Chairman Alan w. Payne OF
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board asked the Commissioners
to revoke Section 3 Of the ABC
regulations, leaving it up to the
ABC board to decide on "appro-
pirate" locations for such stores.
The move was Endorsed by
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West, who declared the inf1exi-
bility of the regulation has posed
many difficult problems Of adj
ministration.
The Commissioners took the
matter under advisement, after
agreeing with Commissioner
Renah F. Camalier that there
should be a great big public
hearing on this"
The issue was raised by the
application of Stanley Lane for
a permit in a shopping center at
Riggs road and South Dakota
avenue NE. The location Is near
the synagogue Of Share Tefila
Congregation, 405 Riggs road
NE.
Mr.. West said one entrance to
the shopping center's large park

the synagogue, although the Pc

When Mr.. Paasikivi was not

ercising his other talent, that
Of banking and finance. From
1914 to 1894. he was manag-
ing director of the country's
largest commercial bank. This
experience stood him in good
stead after World War II,
when he directed the stagger-

Evening star., 1955-11-27

Paasikivi has found he makes
the best progress when he does
not lean too far in either
direction. His policy vis-a-vis
Russia is frankly that Of a
Good Neighbor" Though this
policy varies from the Roose-
veltian one In the Western
Hemisphere in that In Fin
lands case the good neighbor
is the small one. BY the same
token, however, the Paasikivi
government has managed to
keep Red subversion under
control, and has maintained
close ties with the West.
Needless to say, Mr.. Paasik-
wis foreign policies have not
always won him unanimous
popular support. The vocifer-
Gus and powerful Red minority
in Finland would like to see
him bring the country into
closer liaison with Russia; anti
Soviet elements would like a
more intimate relationship with
the West. To these conflicting
demands, Mr.. Paasikivi has an
answer:
The political maturity of
a nation and its leaders is
revealed in the ability to desire
what at a given moment pro-
notes the main thing, regard
less of whether it is more or
less attractive to the individual
members of the nation" And

ikivi is the preservation of
the system of liberty"

For several years terrorism
In Southeast Asia has made
lurid headlines and caused
concern about progress of
communism in that area.
The techniques and motives
Of the terrorists vary from
country to country. The in
surgents in Burma, the ter
rorists in Malaga and the
rebels in Indonesia have only
this in common. They rebel
against their present govern
ments and they use violence as
q weapon.
They are not necessarily
Communists. But they are
often nationalists who had
once been trained as parti-
sans to liberate their country
from colonialism or from Jap
anese occupation. Now they
are disappointed with the
present situation. They turned
against the elected-or ap-
pointed--authorities.
Burmese insurgents
In Rangoon the citizens as
sumo they cannot leave the
city limits without danger Of
being ambushed. No picnics or
week excursions can be
planned. A few persons, how
ever, still travel on the only
road leading to the northern
States, simply because this is
still safer than to travel by
train.
These rash motorists travel
light. They leave money,
watches and other valuables
behind and carry only check
books for gasoline in the
pockets of their poorest and
most ragged clothes. 1t is pos
sihle for them to get q police
escort, but they usually prefer
to travel on their own
which makes them less con-
Spicuous-and without arms.

Russian Push to South
Goes Back 400 Years

Russia in the Crimean War in
1886.
Checkmated in her direct
attempt to subjugate Turkey,
Russia then proceeded to the
conquest of the Caucasus. She
overran small and weak local
Moslem states which we're un-
der the nominal protectorate
of Turkey.
In 1875 the Russians at
tackled Turkey itself once
more. This time their armies
defeated Turkey in the Bal
kans. And for the first time
since Prince Oleg, Russian
forces moved within sight OF
Constantinople tnow Istan-
bulb.
Greet Powers Block
The straits were about to be-
come a Russian gateway to
the Mediterranean. But once
more the great powers inter-
vened. At the Berlin peace
conference in 1878, Russia was
forced to renounce her ambi-
tions. When Russia tried a
flank turning operation by
pressuring Persia tnow called
Iranl, vigilant Great Britain
stopped her once more.
Planning, as usual. far
ahead of her immediate goals,
Russia sought also at that time
to acquire some influence over
Ethiopia, which lay on the
fringes OF the Middle East and
was valued as a gateway to
the Indian Empire of England.
A little-kppwn episode in
their attempted political infll-
tration in that area involved
the visit of a Russian Ortho-
dox monk, Rev. Father Bulato-
vich. whose apparent purpose
was to establish friendly rela-
tions between the Russian and
Coptic Ethiopian Churches.
1t was peculiar, however,
that before he entered the
religious orders, Father Bula-
tovich was a brilliant officer Of
the Imperial Russian General
STAFF and a specialist in
cartography. His one-man
mission gained many adj
llerents. some of them still
active In Ethiopia, but failed
in its audacious long range
objective.
Another Near Miss
At the outbreak of World
War / and Turkeys alliance
with Germany, a secret treaty
between France, Great Britain
and Russia provided that Con-
stantinople should be turned
over to Russia in case of the
defeat of Germany and her
allies. At last Russia seemed
on the verge of gaining her
centuries-old goal.
But then the Russian revolu-
tion shattered the empire and
threw Russia out Of the West
ern coalition. Again the
Constantinople prize slipped
through Russia's fingers.
The Soviet government, too
weak at first to undertake
ANY open expansion. instituted
a friendly policy toward its
neighbors. trying meanwhile
to infiltrate them. At the end
of World War II. when this
hypocrisy was no longer neceS-
sary, a Soviet-inspired and
supported revolt shook Aver
baijan province In Iran. Turkey
was presented with an ulti-
matum-type offer of Soviet
Turk control over the straits
instead Of the international
guarantee of Turkish control
then in effect.
When Yugoslavia went Com
munist, the Reds thought they
had outfianked the opposition
in the Eastern Mediterranean.
but Tito's eventual detection.
and the Western backed re-
sistance to the Communist
thrust at Greece again pushed
Russia inland. The Reds
withdrew temporarily.
Now that the Soviet Union
has. settled down to digest its
enormous postwar gains in Eu-
rope and the Far East, how
ever. 1t has reactivated its OPP
erations in the Middle East.
