B—2 COMMUNISM HELD PROPER AS STUDY Takoma Park Celebrators Told of Ruggedness of U. S. Principles. By the Assoctated Press. TAXOMA PARK, Md., July 4~ -The teaching of the real meaning of com- munism and what it stands for to school children, by American teachers, was strongly advocated by Leo A. Rover, former United, States district attorney of Washington, in an ad- dress here today in connection with the Independerce day community cele- bration. In reminding his audience that he stood on the soil of one of the 13 orig- ina)] States, in which Maryland played an important part, he told of the| struggle of the forefathers and severs ance from British-ties and of the fun- damental principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, \fl'm‘hl were vital to the future of America | at the present time. | “This is no place for those who are | trying to overthrow our Government. | Our school children should be taught | what communism is and not keep ! them in a closet. I believe our| charges should be taught the real; meaning of communism by our Amer- | jcan teacher: they will join our edults in condemning it.” i Azitators Flayed. { Rover flaved the agitators of today | end referred to the numerous “isms” | that are plaguing the Gm’emment.‘ He referred to that part of the Decla- ration, “that all men are created | equal,” and how it was one of lhe| most abused principles in every day | application. In this liberty-loving America, he said there should be no discrimination because of race, creed or social standing, and cited condi- tions in foreign countries where per- gecution and discrimination take place daily. where dictatorships have been set up. “God has been good to America,” continued the speaker, “and has al- ways had the right men in all of our crises. We have many prodlems throughout our country today andl these should be settled in truly Amer- dcan manner, by displaying wisdom ! and courage, like the people of our early days.

July 4—Work on the Lee boulevar: approach to Memorial Bridge may be started in the near future, it was learned today. The boulevard approach, & 2-mile roadway to be canstructed around Fort Myer and through Fort Myer Heights and Radnor eHeights, is to connect with the Government’s park- way leading into the Memorial Bridge. Increasing traffic congestion on the narrow . Arlington Ridge road and Wilson boulevard and dangerous con- dition of the unimproved Military road make the demand for the Lee boule- vard approach a matter of immediate necessity. The latest obstacle to start of work on the 2-mile approach, caused by objections of the State Highway Com- mission to restrictions placed by the Army before granting a right of way through a corner of the Fort Myer military reservation, may be over- come next veek. Early Reply Expected. County officials are expecting a reply from the War Department in regard to the objections raised by the Virginia Highway Commission. If favorable, the reply will clear the way for an early start on the roadway, which will be built by the State with Federal funds allocated to Arlington County. Revised plans call for construction of the 2-mile approach section with concrete instead of surface treatment used for the main part of Lee boule- vard and.provide for a twe-lane road- way divided by a 20-foot parkway. Each lane is to be 20 feet wide. The main section of Lee boulevard, already constructed from a point near the west end of Falls Church, where it intersects the Lee highway, to Lyon Park, a distance of 498 miles, is undivided. It is 40 feet wide. Circle Was Eliminated. Other revisions in plans for the approach call for elimination of a proposed circle near Fort Myer, dropped because of difficulty experi- enced in obtaining sufficient right of way for the circle. As planned at present, the road- way will start at Lyon Park, curve north at the Fort Myer reservation |line and follow the concrete road on | the west boundary of the reservation {until it cuts across a corner of the | military post to lead into Fort Myer Heights. There it will parallel the Arlington-Fairfax Railway tracks to a point near the proposed Govern- ,ment roadway that will connect it | with Memorial Bridge. Previously, work on the boulevard approach was delayed when rezoning of a strip of land near Fort Myer from residential to commercial caused the Federal Bureau of Public Roads to withhold Federal funds allocate for the work. This obstacle was eliminated more than a month ago when the County Board re-rezoned the land to its orig- inal status.

CHICAGO, July 4—Edward Freed, missing partner in the “Nut House, | North Clark street haunt frequented by slain Audrey Vallette, was quoted in a copyrighted story in the Chicago Times tonight as denying any knowl- edge of the slaying of the {ll-fated pleasure girl.
