To the Editor of The Star:
AS a veteran house painter, I know
that the slogan of safety first" has
to be strictly adhered to. Being ac-
customed to high attitudes, the paint
er notices danger which others per-
haps would not. and very naturally so.
During a recent visit to your beau
tiful city I took my little grand
daughter and went to the top of
Washington Monument, and was sur
prised to find that the openings were.
as you know, entirely open and any
one SO disposed could very easily
throw themselves from that awful
height. There are those who feel an
insane desire to jump from a great
height, and have done SO.
AS precaution and at compare
lively small outlay there could be
heavy wire screens placed across
each opening and securely fastened
to the wall. The meshes could be OF
large size so as not to obstruct the
view to any extent.
The laws pertaining to public places
are in many cases entirely disregard J.
ed by those to whom the people LOOK
for safety, and the .plaintin wins the
suit. These thoughts came to my
mind when lifted the child up 10

NEED S. WHEAT
Supplies in Europe
Not Sufficient
to Last.

A. P Dennis. special representative
Of the Department of Commerce. now
In Paris. cables to the department
that he has found a tendency on the
part Of both German and French
farmers to hold their wheat for high
er prices. This. Mr.. Dennis thinks,
will insure a demand for imports or
wheat In excess of the amount lnd1-
Gated by the statistical position. The
French trade, Mr.. Dennis reports,
doubts the ability of Rumania to de-
liver the wheat sold to the French gov
ernment.
The manager of the Rumanian
Farmers Cooperative Association es-
Inmates that the wheat in that coun-
try will hardly suffice for domestic
requirements until the next harvest.
It is officially stated that there are not
moro than 100000 bushels left. Ex-
mort restrictions are Tightening. Aus
tria requires $4,000 metric tons of
imported wheat and flour before the
next harvest The bulk of the supply,
Mr. Dennis expects. will probably be
from the United States because of the
favorable credit terms. Czechoslo-
y,kia is importing wheat and Hour
from the United States and most OF
the domestic mills are closed because
of the inability to compete with for-
eign flour.

in defiance of state commissions. This
is the tendency of the times, BY
analogy the federal sovereignty over
the air spaces above might well be
established. even against state SOW
ereignty or private ownership above
the land.
Then there remains the question of
customs duties. of blockade and of
smuggling. The Wadsworth-Hick
bill gives the Secretary of Commerce
the right ito establish the conditions
under which persons may be carried
and property imported and exported
in civil aircraft from, into or through
the United States. it's territories and

question of customs duties and kim
dred matters. Would this result in
the establishment Of a police patrol
of airships all along the seacoast and
the northern and southern borders? ?
Would there be aerial customhouses.
aerial collectors and aerial police to
stop smuggling?
IT federal jurisdiction of the al,
spaces is established and air routes
are 1diu out, "OulQ Iner6 De lmagl-
nary lines rising above the three
mile limit along our coasts and on
the Canadian and Mexican borders?
Would there be air routes marked out
by balloons or air floats, and imagi-
nary state lines marked by imaginary
or real floats?
These are some of the problems
which may arise out of the progress
of modern aerial navigation. Federal
control of commercial aviation is as
necessary as federal control of inter-
state and foreign commerce in land
or sea. Nevertheless. the new prob
lens will tax the skill and ingenuity
of statesmen and lawyers. But, like
all the new problems of the century.
they will be met and solved with a
single purpose of giving justice and
security to all concerned, on the the
ory that all laws and regulations must
be in harmony with the growth and

Ford Drops Proposed Project
For Control of His Railroad

Henry Ford. whose purchase and
operation of the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton railroad has been followed
with considerable interest in the rail-
road world, has decided to modify his
original plan for its corporate reor-
ganization, according to indications
given by Interstate Commerce Com
mission records.
Shortly after purchasing the rail-
road the automobile manufacturer or
eaanized a new company. called the
Detroit and Ironton, for which he Sc
cured Interstate Commerce Commits
sion permission to issue Sl.000.00O in
capital stock. and to build a new line
of railroad in Wayne county. Mich,
supplementing the original system. In
addition, Mr.. Ford sought permission
to turn the entire properties of the
Detroit, Toledo and. 1ronton over to
the new corporation under lease. and
to have the new company guarantee
outstanding security issues of the old
railroad.
Certain minority stockholders Of the
old company opposed to Mr.. Ford s
reorganization plans entered obJec-
tious in the commission's investiga-
ton of the matter and the commits

sion recently issued an order stating
that 1.-THE applicant (Mr. Ford) re-
Quested that these matters the

has been taken"
The commission also noted that 1T
does not appear that the applicant
desires to press the matter to a con-
clusion at this time, and in order to
close the record applications will be
dismissed" -
The action of the commission conse-

they were in when Mr.. Ford acquired

Office Immediately. He stated his
case. The admiral listened. He ask
ed a few questions. The American
departed, thinking he would hear
about it in a few weeks.
He got shock No. 2 when, the fol-
lowing morning, he was called on the
telephone and requested to come to
Admiral BristoPs office. When he ap-
peared Admiral Bristol informed him
that the military had withdrawn from
his wareht use and that he could re-
tain it. To say that he was astound-
ed was putting it mildly. 1t was an
example right before him of the "ac-
tion" for which the American Navy
is noted.
Admiral Bristol did not resort to
lengthy diplomatic correspondence
couched in polite terms, and which
might have taken weeks. As soon
as he was apprised Of the difficulty
he made an appointment to see the
Turkish officials and suggested that
there must have been some misunder-
standing. He put it so plainly that
they Immediately ordered the troops
withdrawn, explaining that 1t was a
mistake of the military commander.
So there is example after example
of the effective work that is being
done there for American business.
And 1t doesn't interfere one whit with
the military and fighting efficiency of
this little fleet. The ships are cruis-
ing practically all the time, main
tanning strict war schedule in re-
lief and other work.
There were formerly twelve Of
these destroyers there. but when the
Navy operations wre cut down on ac-
count of the reduction in expenditures
six of the vessels were sent home.
OF this order there is no complaint,
as the officers on duty there are just
as anxious to cut down the American
governmental costs as any one else.
Admiral Bristol has been there for
three years. He is eligible for a re-
lief, but the work he Is doing there
Is so valuable that the Navy will not
relieve him. and the State Department
does not want him relieved.
