Fingerprinting U. s. Workers.

The Civil Service Commissions plan
to fingerprint all new Government en-
ployes, beginning with the next fiscal
year, represents anothtr step IN the
creation of a new bureau OF investiga-
ton, which, 1t is believed, will compare
fayorably with others maintained by
the Government. Fingerprinting Will
become an additional feature Of the
character test now given applicants for
Federal jobs. The test has been grad
ually broadened in some departments
until 1t prevents the chance admission
TO responsible public Office Of persons
with unenviable records. 1t has been
strikingiy successful, for instance, in
wedding out suspicious characters from
the thousands who sought jobs in the
prohibition service, and there are re-
corded cases where fingerprints have
detected criminal records on the part
OF applicants for post Office jobs. One
man who had embezzled funds from a
Cleveland post oflce and served three
years for the crime applied. under an
alias. for q job in the Detroit post
once. Another man convicted OF a
hold-up In Los Angeles tried to get in
the Philadelphia once. Both were
identified by nngerprints and rejected

clarity of the polar sea under the ice
or whether it is possible to do what
the expedition is attempting to do, the
question might aptly be asked, What is
it all about"
But there is another angle far more
important and that is the unnecessary
risk of human life. There will be
twenty men aboard the Nautilus and
no one can gainsay the fact that they
are literally gambling with death itself
for no good purpose. "Al precautions
have been taken" say members Of the
crew in syndicated newspaper articles,
but the average person again would
like to know just what precautions can
be taken against the submarine being
pinned under the hundred d-foot- thick
ice or crushed in lead" by the grind
ing of the irresistible packs while the
necessary act of recharging storage bat
terieS is being accomplished.
Again, what If the propellers on the
submarine come in contact under sea
with an ice hummock and become
damaged or her diving rudders en-
counter the same obstacle with the
same result? Or the compass becomes
deranged and surface observations OF
location are not possible? Or If in
some other manner the submarine is
rendered useless and the party, with
out adequate provision, must seek to
win their way back to civilization from
the bleak Arctic?
After all, the North Pole has been
reached by foot and flown over in plane
and dirigible. Diving under it blind in a
submarine cannot conceivably
any useful purpose nor add one whit
of valuable knowledge to the world.
Men of the type OF Sir Hubert and
those who compose his crew are spe-
cialists in their respective fields and
they should not submit themselves to
unnecessary chance taking, particularly
when they have everything to lose and
nothing to gain.

Fire Chief at Fairfax
Denies Refusing Call
To TIE Editor Of The Star: 4.

To the Editor OF The Star:0
There appeared in the Maryland
Virginia news section of The Sunday
Star Of April IL. 1881, an item bearing
a Fairfax, Va, date line of April IL re-
garding a forest fire which burned
over several thousand acres along a
front of two or three miles north of
Fairfax" in which it was stated IAN
alarm was sent to the Fairfax depart
ment early in the afternoon. The fire
chief investigated and refused to send
the engine. Members of the company,
however, went to the assistance of local
residents"
Permit me to state that no call was
received by me or by any other official
or member of this company during the
afternoon of the fire, and your state
ment that refused to send the engine
Is erroneous in its entirety, and in
justice to the department and myself 1
demand that you publish Immediately q
retraction of this statement.
The first and only call received by
our department in connection with this
fire was received about $50 o'clock Of
the evening in q"C-tion, and as several
members OF our department had preVi-
ouSly observed the fire and knew that
there were no buildings in danger, and
that the engine could be of no service
in fighting the fire, a number of our
members responded in their own ma
chimes and assisted in back-f1ring and
beating out the flames.
Our department is composed entirely
Of volunteers, who give freely of their
time in f1re-fghting in the section of
the county assigned to us, and we
resent the publication of such mis-
statements of fact as the above, which
reflect diScredit upon our department.
CHIEF A. H. WILLIAMS,
Evening star., 1931-04-24

employees Of the New York City Post Of
fee were fingerprinted several years ago
many Of them were found to have
criminal records.
With the Army. Navy, Marine Corps
and other such Government establish
ments having long since adopted finger
printing as a routine part OF eXamina-
ton, 1t is only natural that the civilian
personnel of the Government should
eventually be subjected to the same
test. The only reason for delay thus far
has been the lack of funds. These
the last session of Congress supplied
and with the growing value and re-
sources Of the Department OF Justice
Bureau Of Identification, clearing
house for the Nations fingerprints with
more than two million on file, the Civil
Service test will prove of practical
benefit.
Fingerprinting, of course, is generally
regarded as q sure method OF identi-
flcation in connection with the COM
mission of crime. 1t has become
recognized as common sense precau
ton in the examination of past records.
But its value is not confined to the dis
covery of criminals. The future ap-
plicant for Government service will
derive some comfort from the knowl-
edge that his mark" has been regis
tered and will always be preserved as
an infallible guarantee against loss of
identity.

Conflicting Views Noted
On Business Situation

To the Editor of The Star:
Our old friend Roger BabSon. after
q period of retirement and reflection
since his last representation that pros
perity was "juSt around the corner"
played return engagement at the
therefrom emitted such optimistic front
page statements over the business sit
uation-not, however, from the world
wide point of view, just in the United
States--that a man in the bread lines
or one who has worn out his shoes
chasing an elusive job, would be war
ranted In trying to negotiate short
term loan. not a long one, because
BabSon sees q recession in business
later on.
1t had such an influence on the New
York Stock Exchange that hundreds Of
stocks went to new low levels. Before
starting out to get this loan, however,
If he turned to the next page OF the
paper his eye would alight on this
statement from Senator Nye, VINO wants
an extra session of Congress called to
tackle the farm problem and the I'M
employment situation: Unless We act
and provide funds we will face next
Fall one CT the most serious emergen-
cies in the history of the country"
These statements are so confusing
and conflicting that one is Just non-
pIused. The upshot is that the man
who is considering negotiating a per-
sonal loan, or one of larger magnitude
for production purposes, will hesitate
so long that he will abandon it alto
gether and find himself where he
started. Then, If he continued reading
the paper, he would see a two-column
letter by George E. Roberts OF the Ma
~ uy1,n
says:
I'VE have all become specialists, ex-
changing services through the markets
and by means of money. What we call
prosperity Is a state Of balanced rela-
tions In quantities which enable all
products and services to be readily eX-
changed. Then we see the phenomenon,
regarded as so perpleXing. of an abun-
dance of everything, but widespread
distress. The trouble is not in lack of
things, but in disagreement upon the
terms Of exchange"
He said something, but omitted to
say what he meant by exchange, which
is money or credit. Now the money
or exchange used in world business ex-
change Is based on the gold standard,
and since more than a. billion people,
users of silver, which Mas been made
manded in exchange for goods to buy
with. they cannot buy, and, conse-
quently, factories which employ people
to produce such goods lay them of,
which further aggravates conditions by
reducing their purchasing power for
consumption.
Mr. Babson is statistician-one who
deals in figures. If he needs any assist
ance doubtless Irving Fisher would
help him out and together they could
answer this question: What effect has
the destroyed purchasing power of a
billion people on the other billion peo-
Pile who produce the things they want?
The answer is the worldwide business
depression, which cannot be removed
until an agreement has been made be-
tween the nations cf the earth for the
proper money equilibrium between gold
and silver. whether the ratio be Is to
l or 20 to l. w. j. DWYER.

Street Flower Sale
Ban Is Protested
TO The Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I sincerely agree with the article
which appeared i'll The Star on April
% concerning street flower vendors.
l heartily join in the protest against
the prohibition of the sale of flowers on
the streets, and l want to add to my
protest my objections to the action of
the city authorities ip forbidding the
sale of fruits and vegetables on the
streets.
The sale of fruits and flowers by
street vendors cannot seriously injure
the trade OF the merchants who are evil
IDENTIFY behind the movement to drive
vendors off the streets. The person who
buys an apple, or bunch of celery, or
a head of lettuce from a street vendor
does SO largely to help the unfortunate
vendor. In many instances the apple or
vegetable or flowers would not have been
bought had not the vendor been stand
ing on the corner and attracted the at
tention of the purchaser by his presence
and the display of his merchandise. In
the main business section of the city
there Is not place where fruits or
vegetables can be bought.
The red apples and the green vegeta-
bles and the flowers certainly brighten
the streets and make things look more
alive. Besides helping these people to
make an honest living, the flowers and
fruits break the monotony of the bare
and cold looking streets and add to
the happiness of people housed in Offices
all day.
If the Police Department and the
courts will take a greater interest in
stamping out real crime and pay less at
tention 10 such frivolous and ridiculous
matters as driving street vendors off the
streets the city will look more beautiful
and will be safer place in which to
live. MRS. J. c. TRIMBLE.
