SNAPSHOTS
By JAMES PRESTON
The Capital's unofficial side-line
spectators are having their big "I
told-you-so" inning.
Weeks before Congress convened
when the word first began to leak
out that the strategists were going
to wheel National defense into the
legislative spotlight, these observ
just why and what the defense pro
ers began making predictions on
would embrace. It would
include, they speculated, just about
every pet project that could, by the
farthest stretch of imagination, be
pictured as a defense requirement.
First to be dropped gently into
this classification was part of WPA
Other lesser lights have followed.
Now, however, the side-liners say
they have detected the master
stroke, to-wit: revival of two of
the largest spending projects ever
started, but which were dropped
after a flurry of protests, charges
and Congressional revolt.
One of the projects is the Flor
ida ship canal, which would cost
about S20fl.000.00P. The other is
an experiment to develop power
from the flow of the tides is Pas
samaquoddy Bay, Maine, This
project called for an original ex
penditure of about $37,000,000.
About $7,000,000 was spent on each
project before they were dropped
Congress sounded the death knell
by refusing to appropriate further
funds after engineers had called
the Passamaquoddy project fool
hardy and the Florida project im
practical.
They are revived now as part of
the national defense program and
there is anything but enthusiasm in
Army and Navy circles. The. mili
tary services would rather see the
money spent on necessities.
Another power project, this one
already completed, is in a delicate
situation, incidentally. It is TVA,
which is finding it difficult to sat
isfy the Comptroller General on a
little matter of strawberries and
cream. The Comptroller says he
hasn't been able to get an intelli
gent answer as to why it was neces
sary to spend some six million dol
lars on strawberry patches, a freez
ing plant, a strawberry marketing
boat, a dairy herd and other inci
dentals on the TVA project.
While this tussle goes on. a three
sided scap is on in another part of
the Capital City. Participants are
the Treasury, and Justice Depart
ments and the Intelligence Corps of
he Army and Navy. The bone of
contention is the business of round
ing up spies.
The Department of Justice and
the Treasury Secret Service branch
are at odds over which should con- j
duct spy trials and thus get the
public's nod of approval and all the
glory that goes with it. Jealousy
has existed ever since the Depart
ment of Justice began publicizing
its activities, in contrast to the si
lence of Treasury Secret Service
r gents.
On the other hand, the Intelli
gence Corps operatives would like
to see all the fanfare of publicity
that has marked recent spy trials
stopped. It believes publicity hin
ders their work of trailing down
spies. They contend the spies re
cently tried were “small fry” and
the publicity has caused the “big
shots’’ to go into hiding until the
“hea is off.'*
The city fathers in the National
Capital (the District of Columbia
Commissioners) are learning a les
on that the rest of the nation al
ready know’s. They say he would
be a lot happier these days if they
just had a good big industry in
Washington—an industry that is,
other than politics.
Industrial plants have been dis
couraged by law'—from the District
In the first place industries could
meet stringent zoning iimita
In the second place, the
of industrial furnaces would

troubles are their very limited tax

not taxable, the government owns

burden). So. said the Commis
