AlI-Night Parking Hit
As Danger to Traffic
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor OF The Star:
In reference to permitting all-night
parking of automobiles on our streets
permit me to submit, the streets are
Government property and are for the
specific purpose of traffic. When our
cars are parked on both sides OF
residential street. there is barely room
for two cars to pass each other With
out the risk of damaging the parked
cars They obstruct the vision OF drlV-
erS coming out of alleys. 1t Is olIn-
cult. if not impossible, for the street
Cleaning Department to clean the
streets or collect the refuse at the curbs.
These cars interfere with the Fire
Department, causing them to complete
" block the streets when fire occurs,
and interfereS with the handling OF the
apparatus and hose.
PHYSICIANS on night calls have diff
Guilty in finding house numbers, be-
cause it is difficult to run the car. look
for house numbers, keep an eye on
traffic or parked cars. Frequently Lney
cannot park their car anywhere near
the house from which the sick call
emanated. These lost moments are very
precious and may mean life or death 10
a dear one.
The abolition of all-night parking has
got to come, and the condition OF any
residential street juStifies the making OF
laws or the proper enforcement OF eX-
isting laws now. If pushcarts and fruit
vendors are required to keep moving
and not block traffic, the same action
should be taken against automobile
owners who park cars on the street all
night.
It is almost impossible to stop your
car at the curb in front of your own
home at night without parking double.
If any one should have the right to
park his car, if he so desires, in front
of his property, it should be the prop
erty owner-certainly not the renter or
apartment house lessee They pay no
taxes on real estate, pay no assessments
for street and sidewalk improvements,
but it is this class of automobile own
ers who are the worst offenders Of ALL
night parking. HENRY B. DAVIS.

immigration Quota
Increase Opposed
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In your editorial on national origins
you bring out certain facts and reasons
with reference to the controversy now
raging between the two factions of re-
strictionistS over national origins that
seem to me to be hurting the cause of
restriction itself and affecting adj
versely, unfortunately, the restriction
policy Of our country inaugurated by
the Johnson quota law of 1924.
Personally do not think any immi-
grafton quota ought to be increased
There are in the United States already
over 100000 foreign born and over
100000 born of foreign parentage, or
over one-third of our white population
is foreign stock"-more than our forces
of assimilation can comfortably Ameri-
canize or our industries protitably en-
ploy.
National origins would cut down total
immigrationS from Europe about per
cent, but it would also increase South
east European immigration about IS per
cent, almost doubling the Italian and
other Mediterranean quotas. which ex-
plains VIII" the Order Sons of Italy and
petitioning Congress for it.
AS to the logical fairness and equi-
tablenesS of this particular method of
restriction, 1t should be borne in mind
that it is only applicable to 81, or one
third, of the countries of Europe, the
other 40, or two-thirdS. being given
arbitrary and discriminatory quotas of
100 each.
1t would seem that there is much in
the contention of President Hoover'S
argument that national origins is I'M
workable and impractical, and in the
statement of the American Federation
of Labor that the national origins con-
troversy is unSettling a settled situa-
ton and stirring up racial, religious
and political animoSities, and that well
enough ought to be let alone.

A Department of Education?

With President Hoover definitely COM

sentative Newton of Minnesota as his

tensive study Of the reorganization needs
Of the Observation-Disclosures is very pro-
rounced interest in the statement by
Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur that "a
Department of Education similar to the
other departments of the Government
is not required"
Secretary Wilbur, next friend" to
the President, who is enthusiastically
in charge of the Federal Bureau of Edu-
cation, himself a veteran educator OF
international recognition, evidently
speaks for the administration in settling
one Of the moot questions that have dis
turbed the reorganization program in
the past and generally stirred up" the
country.
The fight for Department of Edu-
cation headed by a cabinet officer dates
back to the organization Of the National
Education Association in 1857, and it i
claimed that the American Council o.
Education. representing American COL
leges and universities, has been support
ing the proposed legislation. Vice Presi'
dent Curtis during his services in the
Senate was an outstanding champion
Of the measure.

Subjective.
To the miser the moon is a coin of
bright gold;
To the warrior bullet 1t seems:
To the lover a lantern which Cupid
may hold
To light up the pathway of dreams.
To the sage It's strangely mysterious
realm,
Whose study his life may employ;
To the sailor a guide as he stands at
the helm;
TO the infant a coveted toy.
And the face that it frames every
night smiles anew
At the loves and the hatreds we find;
Since impressions depend on a mans
point of view,
And likewise the state Of his mind.

Discretion as to Jones Law
Stirs Willebrandt Debate

Press Mrs. Willebrandt has taken this
step in order to prevent "a political
reaction against prohibition generally"
thus showing why the drys at large
have confidence in her as their cham
pion of law enforcement. In addition
to being brilliant, she is canny," says
this paper, as it calls her lone of the
smarteSt individuals in the Government
service in Washington"
x X X x
The Spartanburg Journal comments
on her proceeding Ito denaturize, to
some extent. the Jones law" while the
St. Louis Times feels that the law al
ready has apparently collapsed, and
the action of Mrs. Willebrandt as chief
enforcement agent for the Government
proves it."
In the opinion OF the Columbus
Ohio State Journal. "She appears to
have no abiding faith in the effective
ness of the law but speaks only of Civ
ing it a fair test" AS to the law it
self this paper says, The penalties are
cruelty and grotesquely out of proper
ton to the gravity of the crime and,
if a general effort to enforce them were
made. the result could be only to
arouse public sentiment further against
prohibition"
But is Mrs. Willebrandt herself with
in the law in making her recommended
ton? The Chattanooga Times thinks
not and says, Mrs. Willebrandt is a
department appointee only, and the
law confers upon her no power or
authority for constituting laws or con-
trolling the actions of other appointeeS."
Such power Is not conferred by the
Constitution upon the President him
self, of declaring what part of law
may be enforced how it shall be en-
forced ND u+LN
paper as 1t labels the pronouncement
Of Mrs. Willebrandt 1.-The sublimation
Of bureaucracy"
The Sioux City Tribune calls 1t
something entirely new in Federal law
enforcement, at least, to consider any
statute as applicable only to particular
situations" and considers such "selec-
tive system species of legal black
mail"
On the other hand, the Kansas City
Times secs in the letter little more
or less than the issuing of a customary
memorandum effecting enforcement Of
new law" and calls attention to the
TACT that discretion in enforcing this
law is made specific part Of the law
itself. II was provided in the law that
judges. in imposing sentences, should
discriminate between casual and Slight
otfenses and habitual sales of intoxi-
eating liquor. or attempt to CONNER
cialize violation of the prohibition law"
The Lexington Leader finds in the
instructions no attempt to limit the
freedom or to influence the Judgment
of the Federal officers or the Federal
Judiciary. 1t is intended TO remind the
district attorneys of the real intent of
Congress and of the Importance of pre-
venting the diScrediting of law which.
II wisely employed, should be of great
benefit and have a decided effect in
checking law violations" But such dis
erection having been given. the per.
sonal element must enter more strong
ly than ever into the selection of prose-
cutors and prohibition agents." SAYS the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Stephen Watts Kearny
And Route to Pacific

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Washington Star of April IA
Paul V. Collins, in an article, The
Madonna of the Trails" states that
the section of the Old Trail between
Santa Fe and the Pacific Coast is
known as the Kearny route because it
was first traversed by Gen. Dennis
Kearny."
Gen. Kearny's name was Stephen
Watts Kearny.
Dennis Kearny was no relation.
Please correct this error and oblige

PIT FAILURES

Corn Unchanged to Slight
Iy Off: Oats Firm to
Higher.
By United Press


CHICAGO, May 23-Failure of
Liverpool to follow the late advance
in wheat here Wednesday was re-
sponsible for minor fractional losses
in the opening trade today. Corn
and oats we're practically I'M
changed.
At the opening wheat was 4 to
3 cent lower, corn was unchanged
to 4 cent higher. Provisions were
steady.
Liquidation of long wheat is con-
sidered about over and market is
believed to be in position to respond
to any bullish development enter
ing the situation. Warm weather
in Canada. which is said to be draw
ing vital moisture from the new
crop. appears to be the only factor
able to inspire buying. Winter
wheat in the southwest continues
it's favorable progress.
Corn traders find little change in
the fundamental situation, the cash
markets maintain strength on light
receipts and excellent shipping de-
mand. while fair weather is rushing
planting in sections delayed by long
wet period.
Oats are inclined to trail other
grains and action in futures is only
moderate. Crop conditions are be-
ginning to show Improvement.

PULITZER BOOK
CAUSES DISPUTE
Storm Breaks Over Award
ing of Fiction Prize.
BY GENE COIN

BIZ NEA Scrrice
NEW YORK. May 23.-The storm
which this department predicted,
back in April, would come in the
wake of the Pulitzer prize award for
fiction, has broken.
At that time, l said that the COM
mittee was reported to have decided
upon DR.. John Rathbone Oliver,
Baltimore psychiatrist and writer.
And so, it develops, the commit
tee had.
Yet Dr.. divers book, Victim and
Victor" Macmillan, did not get
the award.
Wherefore, Dr.. Richard f. Bur-
ton, for four years the chairman of
the fiction award committee, has
tossed over that position.
To be exact. he suggested that he
"be not asked to serve again"
1t seems that the decision of DR..
Burton's committee was overridden
by the advisory committee of the
Columbia University journalistic
school.
The Pulitzer jury, DR.. Burton now
reveals, was unanimous on DR..
divers book. And that is that.

In the Stock Market
fBy Thomson & moRinnon

NEW YORK. May 23.-Absolutely
nothing of an encouraging nature
has developed insofar as the credit
question is concerned. In fact a
closer study of the statement issued
by the advisory council of the Fed
eral Reserve Board leads to the con-
clusion that notwithstanding the
satisfactory shrinkage in reserve
credit, the thought still uppermoR
in the minds of reserve authorities
is to bring about the reduction in
brokers loans by forcing liquidation
of securities. It is doubtful if con-
fdence so badly shaken can be fully
restored without a word Of encour-
agement from banking sources. We
vii! probably get technical recov-
cries from time to time, but it still
seems to me the Wisest course to
use them TO reduce commitments.
