Castro has seized property belong

The petitioner further stated that
the present Commissioners should
be required by mandamus to fol-
low the course suggested by the
courts" and have the claim judicial
ly determined in a court of law In
case it was shown such payment
was proper no further proceedings
would be necessary but if the court
decided that payment was unlaw-
full then further proceedings
should be ordered to seek recov-
cry of the money.
Associate Judge Neil c. Fraley
signed a show cause order giving
the defendants until July Is to re-
ply and show a reason why the
writ of mandamus should not be
issued to the plaintiffs.
Will Make Reply
Stuart F. Hamill, Jr, attorney to
the County Commissioners, said
that a reply certainly would be
made within the prescribed time.
At the time the several taxpayers
appeared before the commissioners
in April threatening to enter suit
unless action was taken to re-
cover the money, Mr.. Hamill de-
clared that the Commissioners had
made a thorough investigation as
to merits of the claim and that he
had investigated the court pro-
ceedings when Aubrey Brenneman
as commissioner had been
brought into court on the charge
of doing business with himself"
Mr.. Hamill declared at that time
there was never any evidence or
testimony that the work had not
been performed or that the price
was not reasonable. He pointed
out that the county had received
the benefit from the Brenneman
companys labor, that it was in
accordance with an agreement
with the company and that there
was nothing in the court of APP
pcalS record which indicated the
claim could not or should not be
paid or that the company was not
entitled to be paid.
Hamill further stated at that
time he felt it was inconceivable
that any person would object to
payment of bill which the court

Among Communist sympathizers
in the United States, it has always
been considered smart to be I'M
patriotic. There was a brief period
in our history when patriotism
actually seemed unpopular That
was in the heyday of Communism
in the United States, in the late
'30s. | knew of one radio COM
mentator who lost his program
during that period because there
were complaints against his espous-
al of the American way of life
Our movies were filled with Com.
munist propaganda-attacks on
things typically American. That
black period passed.
However, now that opposing
ideologies are locked in world com.
bat in cold war (the same as a
hot war so far as national danger
is concerned)-the theology OF
freedom and democracy and faith
in God as opposed to the theology
of Communist totalitarianism and
godlessness-people are taking
sides, true colors are being revealed

there in America.
Nikita Khrushchev has belittled

Supreme Commander of the Allied
Forces, helped to save Russia
from the yoke of Hitler Khrush-
chev now says that President Eisen-
hover is fit only to manage a
home for children, and recently
he called the President a thief.
And some of our politicians and
writers are giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy by joining with
Khrushchev in repeatedly harping
on the U-2 incident, which the
President could not possibly have
avoided without exposing the
American people to the danger of
surprise attack-and every bit OF
captious and carping criticism

printed in the Moscow papers.

USO a Lively Veteran

Most military veterans may wonder
what ever became of the USO, that
hospitable and entertaining agency of
which former GIs have so many pleas
ant memories. Today's servicemen, es-
pecially those in remote stations over
seas, could give the answer. For the

helping to boost the morale of our SOL
diers, sailors, Marines and airmen in
all parts of the world. To these mem
berS Of the armed forces the USO is
continuing to serve as ga home away
from home" to provide professional and
amateur entertainment even in arctic
or tropical outpostS and otherwise to
aid in making lonely servicemen as
happy as possible. 1t is appropriate,
therefore, that the USO should tell its
story to the general public during what
has been designated as "USO Month
April. We salute the organization for
its long and valuable service to the
military branches and to the men and
women who are manning the Nations

There's q Difference!

In the House the other day, as
Representative Bow of Ohio was urging
that District residents be granted the
right to vote for President, his New York
colleague, Mr.. Multer, broke in to "wel-
come the gentleman as one of the spon-
sorS of home rule"
Replied Mr. Bow: -
do not yield further, Mr.. Chairman,
because the gentleman takes the wrong
premise. He has said he welcomes me to
the home-rule club. am asking for the
right to vote for President and Vice
President; am not dealing with the
subject of home rule -.
Good for Mr.. Bow! We imagine Mr..
Multer knew the difference, of course,
between "home rule" and a vote for
President, Vice President and repre-
sentatives in Congress. But we hope
no one will be confused between the
two when the Senate-approved con-
stitutional amendment providing the ma
tional vote reaches the House floor.

should appropriate funds to purchase
the entire site, thereby consolidating
Federal ownership on both sides of the
gorge. Until such time as Congress
adopts more enlightened attitude
toward park development in the Ma
tional Capital Area, however, the long
term lease concept might well become
q useful method Of preserving other po-
tential parks. This possibility becomes
especially intriguing in view of the cur
rent shortsighted effort on Capitol Hill
to Scuttle the Capper- -Cramton Act.
Apart from the substantial recrea-
tional values to be created, meanwhile,
the new Great Falls Park will serve as
an effective buffer to protect the Poto-
mac water supply from further pollu-
ton. Its total value to the Washington
area on all counts is very great indeed,
and will become fully apparent as the
preSsures of metro growth continue to
develop in the future.

South African Sore

Racial tension in the Union of
South Africa should be eased SubStan-
TALLY, or so we must hope, by the de-
:iSion of Premier Verwoerd's govern
ment to suspend the notorious law
requiring the country's Bantus NE
groeS) to carry special paSsbooks.
These books have long constituted
one of the big grievances of South
Africa'S colored majority. Designed to
help in the enforcement of strict and
humiliating segregationist controls, they
are what led to last weeks tragic riot
ing in which white police (who claim
:hey had no other choice) shot and
killed 70 Negro demonStrators-an in
eident that shocked the world and
moved our State Department to issue
an unusual statement formally deplor-
ing the violence.
Presumably it is because of this
international reaction, as well as be-
cause of home-front considerations,
that the Verwoerd government has de-
cided to stop trying to enforce the pass
book regulations. Nevertheless, despite
she promise implicit in this much
needed policy change, the situation in
South Africa remains highly explosive.
That is why 20 ASian-African countries
have requested that the United Nations
Security Council place the matter on
its agenda as threat to international
peace, and the Council-whose chair
man this month is Ambassador Lodge,
our chief delegate to the U. Ms
scheduled to meet Wednesday to give
urgent" consideration. to the request.
Secretary Herter has indicated that
the United States favors such action,
even though South Africa'S Ambassador,
Vented du Plessis, has strongly pro-
tested that the issue is purely domestic
and that to, debate it internationally
might we'll have the effect of "enbold-
ening agitators" and making dan
gerous and delicate" situation worse
than it is already This view merits
consideration Certainly no good will be
accomplished if the councils prospective
meeting serves merely as a sounding
board for incendiary propaganda.
Accordingly, If the U. N. is to be
of any help in this situation, partici-
pants in the Security Council session
ought to refrain from inflammatory
speeches that would rub the sore in
South Africa rather than apply a
healing plaster to 1t.

Great Falls Park

Officials of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. and the National Capital
Parks deserve the heartiest commen-
dation for their agreement to place
section of the magnificent Great Falls
area of Virginia under public control.
The benehciaries will be countless
Americans, who will be able to enjoy
the dramatic natural beauty of this
historic site for decades to come.
The arrangement, which will per-
nit the creation of this huge, 800-acre
park, overlooking the cascading falls Of
the Potomac gorge, is unique, at least
in this region. Such park areas in the
past have been acquired only through
purchase or, in rarer instances, dona-
tion. The 50-year lease which Pepco
has agreed to give the Park Service is
just as effective in preserving the river
area, and in removing mounting threats
that it might be surrendered to private
development. Thanks to the magma
nin1ity of the utility Arm, furthermore,
the cost to the Federal Government is
a pittance-actually only enough to pay
taxes on the land.
Eventually, Of course, Congress
