LOS ANGELES, May 9 (AP) .
There was no joy in Chavez
ravine today-just the sound of
bulldozers clearing the site for
the Los Angeles Dodgers new
ballpark.
Fifteen residents were evicted
from three condemned homes
amid screaming, crying and
cursing yesterday.
"Why don't they play ball
in (Mayor) Poulson's back
yard-not in ours!" Mrs.
Abrana Arechiga, SO, shouted
in Spanish at IA sheriff's
deputies.
Poulson supported the sta
dunn deal.
The deputies were greeted
by these posters on the home
of 71-year-old Manuel Are
chiga:
welcome, Dodgers, but don't
take our home"
I'VE don't care if Mr.. (Dodger
President Walter) O'Malley
gets this land. All we ask is a
fair price"
Arechiga told newsmen his
home was condemned for
$10,500, but claimed it was
worth $4,000.
The MAYORS Office said the
home was condemned years
ago, before the Dodgers came
to town. The land was taken
under eminent domain powers
as a site for a housing develop
ment which never came about.
The sale to the Dodgers came
after the housing plan had
been strapped.
Fifty newsmen, photogra-
pliers and television camera
men waited with Arechiga, his
wife, and their two daughters

1870, when Pimlico opened,
only the famed Sarazen has
won twice, in 1925 and 1925.
Pop Corn. carrying 110
pounds, and Cain Hoy Stables
| One-Eyed King, 100, are CO.
favored in the closely matched
field, with Tower Hill Farms
Langton Breeze who also has
been assigned 100 pounds, ex-
pected to get support.
1900 Expected
Pimlico officials are hoping
for a crowd of 1900 and the
first 81 million plus betting day
of the meeting to offset the
poor start.
Some of the top jockeys ir
the East are on hand for the
Dixie. John Ruane, the Irish
born rider who piloted Por
Corn last year, will be aboard
him again today. A victory fol
Pop Corn would give Green
tree it's third triumph in five

Only a First Step

the new plumbing regulation re-
quiring separate drains in all new build
lngS for sewage and rain water is only
first step toward the ultimate goal of
Sewage-free storm sewer system here.
1t is an essential first step, however, If
Washington is to do its part in clean
ing up the polluted Potomac River.
Most Of the old buildings in the
heart Of the city use the same pipes for
conveying sewage and storm water to
the municipal sewer lines in the street.
And in the older parts of the city these
municipal lines are used jointly for sew
age and storm water drainage. In dry
weather the main conduits have suffi-
cient capacity to carry the sewage direct
to the treatment plant at Blue Plains.
When it rains, however, the lines often
become so overloaded that the excess
escapes through safety outlets into the
river, without treatment.
Separate sewage and storm water
lines are now being installed in all the
newer sections Of Washington-includ-
ing the redeveloping Southwest area. 1t
is estimated that some 5000 million
would be required to build separate lines
in the downtown section, but city on
Gals hope that eventually this highly
desirable antipollution work will be
undertaken, perhaps on the installment
plan. 1t is with such an undertaking
in mind that the new plumbing regula-
ton was recommended by the District
Building Code Advisory Committee. For
unless the separate system is planned
now in the construction Of new of1ce
and residential structures, costly con-
version jobs will be necessary in the flu
ture. The cost of the preliminary step
to pollution control is relatively small,
if taken while construction is under
way. Thus, the city is wise in moving
today to avert mistakes of the type that
have created the serious disposal
problem in the older parts Of the Capital.

posed to be representing.
However, it is really adding
insult to injury when they
obstinately refuse to divulse
the reasons for their action.

From rather long distance away,
1t sounds as though considerations Of
the purse won over those of political
principle in the Kansas City municipal
elections. After 10 years Of local govern
ment by nonpartisan reform" body
known as the Citizens Association, the
voters of Missouri's second largest city
have turned back to Democratic rule.
For two reasons, this outcome of Mid
west municipal election is Of interest
farther afield.
The first reason is found in the po-
litical history Of Kansas City itself-a
history that in fact was once controlling
in virtually all of Missouri and had
strong impact even upon politics nation
ally. For in the earlier years of this cen
tury, Kansas City was the center Of one
OF the most powerful political empires
in American annals. It was the seat of
the PendergaSt regime-a Democratic
Party organization that was founded
by a saloon keeper named Jim PEN
dergaSt in 1892 and inherited in 1911
by a younger brother, Tom PendergaSt.
When Tom Pendergast went to Federal
prison in 1889 for income tax evasion,
the Associated Press reported, he 'vir-
tually owned nearly every off1ceholder in
the State, from United States Senators
to the lowliest city hall clerk. ALI of
them owed their jobs to him."
1t was then that the reform move
ment, which had been struggling to get
on its political feet for several years,
mustered the strength to clean out the
PendergaSt machine. The job had been
completed by the time Tom PendergaSt--
broken in health, wealth and power
walked out Of prison in 1910. The Citi-
zens Association, combining itself to Kan
sas City only, controlled the municipal
government until this weeks votes were
counted.
There is a second reason, in a way
Symptomatic of the times, for interest in
why the Kansas City vote went as it did.
BaSically, no doubt, the reform motiva-
ton had lost Its steam as new genera
ton OF voters grew up without personal
memory of the evils of "Pendergastism.
Closer to their political emotions, EVIL
IDENTIFY, were the considerations of the
purSe"-courted effectively in this in
stance by Democratic coalition that
promised it would not raise city taxes or
impose new ones, but that it still would
improve" all city services. On this front,
the reform group had been fighting a
losing battle for two years-defeated by
special referendum in an effort to i'm
pose an earnings tax and resisted in
efforts to force collection of several
nuisance taxes" levied to raise needed
revenues.
There is no reason that we know of
to believe that the winners have magic
formula by which more can be done for
everybody at no added cost to anybody.
But If they have, there surely will be
a drive to extend the municipal limits
OF Kansas City to the Atlantic and
Pacific SeaboardS.

Horror Houses

I was amused at the article
a bout misplanned houses
written by Mrs. v. Dewey
which appeared in The Star
on March 81. I agree with
her 100 per cent.
I have lived in seven houses
in the last 20 years and in
every one Of them I have had
to climb in the bath tub to
open the bathroom window.
Now, nobody but an idiot
would plan a window in that
space. 1t is a known fact
that present day architects
are failures in house PLAN
ming. The monstrosities now
on the market look like the
architect had a nightmare
then put it in blueprint on
awakening.
Why don't they let women
design houses, since the
women spend the most time
at home? Women know more
about convenience in a house
plan than men will ever
admit. Lily Miller.

Richmond Courtesy

The Sunday Stars story,
Richmond Mayor Pays Irate
Motorists Fine" seems to me
to point up the moral decay
Of our generation. Here an
adult. intelligent man broke
the law of a city, but felt he
shouldn't pay a penalty be-
cause 'he was a visitor and it
was a first odense." And the
Mayor evidently agreed with
him. Isn't that q little ridic-
ulous? True, an overtime
parking case is a minor Of
Tense. but doesn't it follow
that the same reasoning can
be applied to major ofenses?
If I we're that Richmond
Mayor. ! think I'd say, Too
bad. Buster, but If that's the
way you feel, Richmond
doesn't care If you never
come back" That's the way
I feel about Washington visi-
tors-or nativeS-who have
no respect for our laws, park
ing or otherwise.

On Using Force

It is a bit difhcult for us to keep up
with Western policy in event Of a new
Berlin blockade.
On March II the President told a
news conference that we have no inten-
ton of fighting ground war in Europe.
On March 16 he said that we will not
retreat one inch from our duty, that we
shall continue to exercise our right of
peaceful" passage to and from West
Berlin, and that we will not be the first
to breach the peace. It is the Soviets,
he added, who threaten the use of force
to interfere with such free passage.
Now it is reported that the Big
Three-the United States, Britain and
France-have agreed "in principle" to
do whatever may be necessary, includ-
ing the use of force, to maintain access
to West Berlin. Although the logic
escapes us, it Is said that force would
be used only in event the East Ger
mans should block the access routes.
If the Russians should set up the block
ade we would not use force, but would
negotiate.
Perhaps all Of this adds up to a
kind Of planned confusion-designed to
keep the Russians as well as our own
people guessing. It should be borne in
mind, however, that the Russians have
said they would regard the use of force
against the East Germans as being
equivalent to the use of force against
themselves. II they mean this, and if
we mean the various things that we
have said, it is difficult to escape the
conclusion that blockade, at least if
imposed by the East Germans, would
touch of a nuclear war. We trust that
diplomacy will be able to devise some
more rational solution.
