SAN JUAN OLDEST GITYRULEDBY U.S. Hoover to Visit Town Settled 50 Years Before First on Continent. When President Hoover visits the City of San Juan he will be paying his respects to the oldest city fi’l the New World under the American flag. the Chief Executive will be seeklnl rest in the place that Ponce de Leon, lfi" to seek the Spanish explorer, “Fountain of Youth. “San Juan, the capital of Porto Rico, was a settlement half a century before St. Augustine, Fla., the oldest town in the 48 States, came into being, and a full century before the Pilgrims llnderh at Plymouth Rock,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. “Despite San Juan's age, it is & wnorvughly modern metropolis of some 114,000 people. Skyscrapers peer over the old Spanish fort that pretends to guard the entrance to its mifnmeen harbor. Bustling traffic fills its nar- row downtown streets, and a network of modern bus lines carry hundreds of dcgflunymuters to work from its Suburbs Many Traces of Spain. “Many monuments survive from the old regime of the Spaniards, who held the island continuously from 1509, a few years after Columbus discovered it, until 1898. Moss-grown forts, with thick walls and stony sentry boxes, flank the modern city of San Juan. Convent and cathedral, presidio, pow-. der house and hand-paved mmury roads that wind over the entire island | of Porto Rico—all of these are anclent Spanish waorks. “Contrasting sharply with them are B-and-10 cent stores, hugh flying boats of the mail and passenger lines, and g:ettv Porto Rican girls in one-piece thing suits gamboling on the beaches. “American rule has checked disease and brought a measure of prosperity to Porto Ricans. Since the United States took over the island the population has grown from about 900,000 to 1,544,000. And all of these people are crowded into an area a third less than that of Connicticut. Passengers on modern air liners can see how crowded the island really is, with tiny huts standing in every nook and crannery and clinging even to the hilltops to save level space for crops. Children fairly swarm. The death rate is about 28, and the birth Tate 39, per 1,000. Merging of Small Farms. “Porto Rico, like other parts of the world, has undergone great economic changes in the last two decades. From 1910 to 1920 the census shows 17,000 farms were merged mw big plan- tations. This is simply the result of the modern tendency of agriculture everywhere to enlarge the unit of its operations. _As land rose in price, small lwlden sold out and took jobs on the Naxer gunut‘lo‘:a “Fresh meat is scarce in Porto Rico. Imch land that was once devoted has been stock raising turned ove: recent years, to the cultivation of plne- apples, citrus fruits, sugar and tobacco. Even the food of ‘the common people— &e, beans and dried codfish—must be ported. “Viewed as a big farm devel it, the island is prosperous. But Lhoem}‘;f:in truth is, its 1,544,000 people, who most- ly work for wages, cannot subsist now on the kinds of the lmo— duces, and to live on costly. ~‘Migration has been tried, but so far with little success. Too often it is the S disease ki between population an but now all that is upset. Keeps All Its Tax Money. “Porto Rico occupies a favored posi- | tion among American dependsncles.

Most important of all, Porto Rico ucts may be ex- ported to the ited amu ‘without paying the tariffs. “Like New York City, Porto Rico’ capital San Juan, is built on an island, an island that is separated from the mainland at the eastern end by only a narrow chann:l of water. The island curves protectingly around its harbor like Presque Isle at Erle, leaving & wide entrance at the western end. San Juan has been called Oriental-Spanish in sspect. The old Spanish part of the cm has flat, chimneyless roofs, putting , iconies, u‘r‘imeqfio windows .(n"vluhoul glasn), certral pe gardens pas- . tel-shaded plaster walls. The larger the city, and the suburbs on the mainland, boast of wide asphalt boulevards, magnificent marble | government buildings, modern high schools, theaters and churches.” LEWIS ASSERTS VERBAL SLAPS GET UNDER HIDE | Nobel Prize Winner Adds That Blows onsFace Only Make His Head Sore.

Lewis said he was not feell and reiterated many compl remarks about Dreiser’s writings. He concentrated his remarks on cri- tics, censuring those from foreign countries who criticize America. His remarks deviated from there to American youth, whom he considered conservative, to early morning rising, which de described as a “feat of Mid- dle Western heroism.” .

SHENANDOAH PARK Progress in Appraisal of Land Rapid, Says Com- missioner. Special Dispatch to The Btar. WINCHESTER, Va. March 21.—Ap- praisal of land embraced in the Shen- andoah National Park area probably will be completed this year, according to an announcement by William E.

Mr. Carson sald progress has been as rapid as could be expected, wmider- ing the many difficulties encountered. Field men are now surveying and get- ting information for the appraisers. Condemnation hearings then will follow where necessary. More than 200,000 acres of land are eml in the park area to be taken over and presented to the Government, but not until-clear land titles can be 'lven The Virginia commission, it was said, is steering clear of legal entanglements and lulh such as have sprung up in ccnnection with. the Great Smoky Mountain Park project in North Carolina and Tene essee. President Hoover’s camp on the Rapi- dan River in Madison County is being prepared for opening of the trout fish- ing seascn, and Mr. Carson said Federal surveyors are at work on the route of the new national highway through the park area to the camp.

In recounting some of the park prob- lems, Mr. Carson declared that “the experiment was one absolutely new to a State agency and to the courts, and naturally zome mistakes were made. The first problem was the collection of some 26,000 pledges, with same still to be paid. Then'emhhlntshtl law_regarding condemnation.

WORK GOING AHEAD : 4 JUDGE CONTINUES ROAD INJUNCTION Action Taken in Halting Work on Lee Boulevard Tract in Arlington. | Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va, March 21.—Judge ‘Walter McCarthy in the Fairfax County Circult Court today continued the tem- porary injunction granted Wednesday to the heirs of the late E. B. Van Every of Arlington County stopping the State Highway Commission from its work of clearing the right of way for the Lee ml'elvud through the Van Every st judge stated that he would grant the moticn of Charles Pickett, MWmeY for the State Highway Commissio! State would put up sufficient bond to cover any damages that might accrue to the Van Everys if the case is decided in their favor. As there 1s no provision under the law for bonding the-common- wealth, in a case of this kind, the cross bill to dissolve the injunction was denled. Hearing April 1. A hearing en the merits of the con- ten'.lon of the Van Every heirs that the State now has no title to their land, will be held April 1 in Fairfax County Court. Immediately following the trial of W. E. Smith of wumngmn whose trial on an indictment for -attempted murder is set for that aay llsa The results of this hearing will determine the ultimate right of Mrs. Van Every for compensation for the land taken, and will set the amount of her damages. Pickett contended that the State Highway Commission was acting in :ood faith, and that the Commcnwealth ia through its power of emi- nent lomain, can condemn the land if necessary. If the court holds that the State does not-now own title as claimed, the Van Everys will be properly com- pensated, he said. Plckeu mrth!r held that the dissolution of the injunction would not work any hardship on the Van whereas the continuation of the injunction would work a distinct bardship cn v,he people of the common- wealth, lering construction of the road Withh'l the limited time available before 1932. He claimed further that the Van Evi will benefit materially from the ruction of the boulevnd due to the increased value of the resi due of their estate. Rights Vested i State. ‘The rights given the Lee Highway Association undzr the original option are now vested in the commonwealth of Virginia. and the State Highway Com- mission claims that the terms of this %lnn have been complied with, and thry have title to the land now vested in the commonwealth. Mrs. Van ‘l:er}l'i Lhrbught her_attor- County, ‘Washington, claimed thnt the option given by her husband to the Lee High- way Association expired April 1, 1626, before any rights accrued to the State, and that she had notified the State Highway Commission in writing that she now claimed title to all of this land, through the State’s failure to| comply with the terms of the option. She is asking compensation for four of her 17 acres. r claimed that Mrs. Van! Every's rights would be prejudiced by the dissolution of the injunction; that there is no intention of hindering the State from completing its share of the Le boulevard in time for the 1932 Bi- centennial; that the State has other land on which its employes can work pending settlement of this case. Jud!e McCarthy held that if any damage used th! State by the delay, it is the' fault of the State in not clearing its title after receipt of Mrs. Van Every's letter five years ago. ttorneys for beth sides quoted many sections of the code and many pravious court decitions 1; th!al;‘ arguments of the legal po VOl — WOULD BAR NATIONALITY OF THOSE IN CRIME NEWS Italian Language Newspaper Will Launch Campaign to Prevent Embarrassment.
