CRUNDY FACES
new ATTACK IN
u. S. SENATE
Called Back From Vote
Fight in Pennsylvania
for Latest Battle.
BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Sorely
pressed, Senator Joseph r. Grundy
returned from the Pennsylvania
primary battle ground today to
plunge into senate fight on an
issue his opponents call "Grundy-
ISM"
The new Pennsylvania senator,
who usually wears green shirts and
an ever-ready smile, has again be-
come the subject of senatorial dis
cuSsion because of resolution in
troduced by Senator Nye Rep.,
N. d.. This would declare Grundy's
seat vacant on the ground that
Governor John S. Fisher of Penn
sylvania had no right to appoint
him,
N.Y. contended Fisher had been
elected in the same primary which
the sene-e held to be fraudulent in
the Ware case.
Offers Debate in Senate
While Nye appeared to be playing
losing game in his fight to GUST
Grundy, the opportunity was offered
for a full debate concerning the
tariff tactics of the former agent
of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers
Association.
The westerners have indicated
they may make "Grundyism" a
major issue in their fall campaigns
for reelection, so the debate took
on the atmosphere of major
political battle.
The Pennsylvania primary sit
uation, too, is expected to be brought
into the discussion. According to ali
Pennsylvania congressional author
tiles. Grundy faces a hard fight in
his first contest before the electorate.
First, there are strong indications
here that the MELONS do not in
tend to champion Grundy's cause.
Such inaction would leave him
almost devoid of organization
support.
Secretary Of Treasury Mellon, his
brother, and his nephews may vote
for Grundy, their friends say, but
they do not intend to battle for him
against Secretary of Labor Davis,
who is seeking the Republican SEN
atoriaI nomination with Ware back
ing.
QuarreIs With Atterbury
Again, Grundy already has quar-
relied with w. w. Atterbury, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Republican national committeeman,
and power in Pennsylvania
politics.
Although big power as a lobbyist
and collector of campaign funds.
Grundy's influence in the senate
has been questioned. The Dem
ocratS charge he overturned the
coalition opposing the tariff bill, but
other Republicans, including Floor
Leader Watson, claim some credit
for it.
Grundy never before has sought
electoral office. Fisher appointed
him to the senate in December after
he aroused nationwide interest by
telling the lobby committee the
western senators came from back
ward states" and should talk darn
small"

Of comedy to post speed timing on

piled up at every intersection, the left

OF course, the utilization, as Is now

must not be construed by motorists as
a license to disobey the regulation
which provides for driving as close %

When there is no other traffic on the
street there is no excuse to use the
car tracks. When they are needed to

undeniably needed badly and should be
made use of at these times. The days

School Children and Safety.

The Save the Childrens Lives Com
mittee of the Community Councils of
New York City has just submitted a
report, the contents of which should be
studied and analysed by municipal Off
GERS IN every city in the United States.
1t concerns the protection of children
from the traffic perils of today. The
work OF the committee has been solely
to this end. How successful has been
the drive may be gathered from the
fact that while in 1924 four hundred
and thirty-two children were killed in
Greater New York, in 1929, six years
later, with heavy increase in the num-
Der Of automobiles, only three hundred
and forty children met death. 1t is
significant in consideration of this great
reduction of fatalities that the adult
death list mounted in the same period
from six hundred and thirteen to nine
hundred and ninety-two.
n The gratifying drop in the children's
casualty toll can mean only one thing:
That all agencies having to do with
their welfare are cooperating. More
Fairgrounds are being built to satisfy
the needs for exercise in the growing
generation. Parents are needing the
warning to compel their children to
play in safe places. School zones,
where streets are either roped of alto
gether or policemen stationed to pro-
mote caution, have been created by the
trafic authorities. The American Auto
mobile Association Schoolboy Patrol is
functioning to the utmost efficiency.
And last, but not least, as the result
of hammering it home day after day that
the motorist must bear a large share
of the responsibility, drivers are be-
coming more careful even without the
alert supervision of police.
Every city can reduce its children's
death list by the same measures. There
can be no clubbing with the issue.
Children must be protected until they
attain judgment of their own to steer
them clear of danger. Washington
ranks well up with other cities in pre-
serving the lives of the little ones. But
everlasting vigilance is necessary, and
If new wrinkles have been introduced
in the New York campaign to produce
the astonishing results, then Washing

Momentum Valuations.

George Herman Ruth, better known to
the world as Babe" has signed
contract to play base ball with the New
York American League team for the
next two years. In consideration Of his
eminent abilities, not merely as a player
but as drawing card, he is to receive
a salary Of $4,000, year. or $4,000
for the term of the contract. This is q
higher salary than that of the President
of the United States. 1t is the highest
salary paid in base ball to a player. 1t
is the high-water mark in base ball
finance.
In the course of the regular season
one hundred and flfty-four games are
played by each club, If the weather
permits. Thus. if every game which the
New York Yankees are booked for is
played Ruth will receive something over
$500 per game. 1t is not likely, however,
that he will play the whole string, even
If his club participates in all of the
games. Very rarely does any player 60
through a season without missing a
game, from illpess, or injury, or Danish
ment for disciplinary reasons. Ruth is
particularly given to temperamental
absences from the lineup and it is quite
within the range of possibility that his
average of compensation will not be
lower than $70o for each contest
actually engaged In by him during the
season.
Judged from the standpoint Of specific
performances during the past few sea-
sons, Ruth's services to his club, as a
factor in pennant winning, are worth
about one-quarter of his contract, al
the most. Thus he is being paid, it is
fair to estimate, something like 100000
year as IAN attraction" a drawing
card. If 10000 people attend the games
at the rate Of dollar apiece solely
for the purpose or in the hope Of seeing
Ruth perform, he will have earned
his extraordinary compensation. The
chances are that many more than that
number will do so, SO long as remains
the possibility, expected by the public

would not consent to so disproportionate

For the first time in years there seems
to be a conviction that Haiti Is on the
threshold of @ period of Self-govern-
ment, without the need of military
force from this country. The achieve
ments of the commission appointed by
President Hoover are credited to app
parent speed and efficiency in action.
The conclusion that the commission
erS tackled a delicate job, with much
popular prejudice and much official OBJ
stinacy," and that ''the job was done,
and well DONE" Is reached by the
Brooklyn Eagle, with the added opinion
that part of the success of the nego-
tiations has to be credited to Preside mt
Hoover, whose flrmnesS compelled the
yielding of President Borno to common
sense" The Buffalo Evening News feels

Election of q President under consti-
tutional provision is forecast following
the recent selection of Eugene Roy, a
popular business man. as provisional
executive. Prospects for the future are
weighed by the Milwaukee Journal with
hoped from the election of a constitu-
tional President. Haiti used to elect a
President every two or three years, and
he lasted until he had emptied the
treasury and successful, albeit well
nigh bloodleSS, revolution had gotten
somewhere near the capital. But at

ton Of her people by foreign loans at
exorbitant rates. We have made roads
and built bridges. But-there is always
'but'-as people we have given small
thought to this other people. We have
been so sure that what we were doing
was good for these people that we have
forgotten that nothing Is very good for a
people that they do not do for them
selves"
1t is explained by the New York Sun
inally through the Council of State,
which is q legislative body, with power
to elect the President. But as the coun-
Gil is appointed by the President, its
members holding office virtually at his
pleasure, 1t is merely q mask for an

Much Work Is Yet to Be Done.

1t is not trivial or petty impatienc,
alone that causes concern over tn
failure of the National Bicentennia
Commission, more than five years aftel
its creation, to have adopted any def.
mite plan for the form of national par.
ticipation in commemoration of thu
two hundredth anniversary of George
Washington's birth, in 1882. 1t is true
that full year and nine months re.
main before the observance is to begiri
and with the recent selection of two
capable associate directors who are
empowered to get down to important II
elementary details there is every reason
to believe that wheels may soon begin
to turn in earnest.
But it is well to face the fact that II
the observance of the bicentennial year
is to attain the Nationwide breadth
and scope that have been marked down
as the desirable goal, a great deal OF
work is to be done and there is none
too much time remaining in which to
do it.
The feature Of State participation is
fundamental, yet It is learned that, OF
the forty-eight States and the District
of Columbia, only the District of Co.
lumbia and thirteen of the States have
taken the preliminary step of forming
their commissions, the purpose of which
is cooperation with the national body
in making plans for local obServances
and creating the public interest neces-
sary to carry them through. And
while the national commission has &C.
complished the desirable end of pub
fishing a definitive edition of the essen
tial writings of George Washington and
expediting the completion of three ma
tional memorials in 1882, it has yet to
hit upon or adopt plan Of procedure
that will stir the imagination or rouse
citizens throughout the land whose
quickened interest in It's symbolism is
necessary If 1t is to become the
epochal and significant event pictured
in the minds of its sponsors.
The chief difficulty confronting the
commission lies in the fact that the
celebration of the bicentennial year Is
to be more spiritual than materialistic;
that while this is entirely in keeping
with the inspiring motives of the OBJ
servance it interpoSes practical handi-
cap that must be removed. The usual
and commonly accepted method Of
marking q great national event in the
life of the Nation is to blow horns
throw flrecrackers, hold parades, pic
MICS and carnivals, and indulge In q
vast amount of oratory. While the gen.
eral effect may be cheapening, such
forms as these at least afford some
thing tangible for the inarticulate to
grasp. Such a basically commercial
enterprise as a worlds fair has wisely
been abandoned. Thousands of tour
lists will doubtless take the opportunity
to visit Washington, to see their re-
born Capital rising in white stone on
the historic banks of the Potomac. But
millions of Americans will not come
To these the National Bicentennial
Commission must appeal; must strike
keynote that will bring from them q
response indicative of their jealous re-
gard for the heritage of America that
lies in their keeping alone.

American Bullfighter
Called Undesirable
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
AS a subscriber to The Evening Star
of several years standing, may 1 be
permitted to ask how you can possibly
think it of the slightest interest to an
American public to call attention,
pictorially and otherwise, to the indi-
vidual whom you proclaim, in bold
faced type, as Sidney Franklin, "the
American bullfighter"? This person,
in the mind of any true American, must
surely rank with criminals of the worst
sort. so why advertise his cowardly per-
formance In the arena and perhaps
actually expect the public to shed tears
OF sympathy over the fact that he has
been gored, perhaps fatally, by a mad
dened bull? If he has at last met his
much deserved fate, the least said about
the incident the better, for undoubtedly
America would be rid of one of its most
despicable and undesirable citizens.
