A Midnight Battle.

Every now and then a maniac runs
amok in some city in this country,
with firearms and ammunition, and a
veritable battle occurs, with more or
less loss of life. Last night Washing
ton had such an experience, with the
result of one death, that of a police
man. and two or three wounded. A
peaceful neighborhood was terrorized
for two hours. Shots few in all direc-
. tions Tear gas was used. Hundreds
of shots were fired. The marvel is that
the casualties were not greater. The
promoter OF the trouble was finally
captured, slightly wounded. after hsv-
ing fired all but one of his shells OF
buckshot. The original cause Of his
outbreak remains to be developed.
These tragic affairs are sometimes
the result Of pursuit Of fugitive who
has broken the Law and Is resisting ar
rest. Sometimes also they are due tc
q hare-up Of temper in domestic dis
pute Again they are attributed tc
dementia. So far as known the slayer
OF the policeman last night had nj
cause for his outbreak. He was in EN-
ployment, had no occasion for ,concerr
as to his continued income and NJ
ground for grievance against member
OF his family. The most reasonably
conclusion is that he suffered menta
collapse and began TO shoot withou
rational thought for the consequences c
his defiance Of the law. That thi

Another accomplishment for radio is
scheduled for next Friday at 10 am.
when the first broadcast of the United
States Marine Band using a piano as a
solo instrument will be heard. Helen
Corbin Heinl will be the pianist. She
has previously appeared with the Ma

never before with Capt. Branson's re-
nowned band itself. In the past it has
been found that large band tends to
drown out piano music. Capt. Branson
expects to overcome this difficulty by
means of special microphone for the
instrument. Fridays program, awaited
with interest by both musicians and
radio engineers, will be transmitted

Five-day Week Would
Work Great Hardships
To the Editor Of The Star:

can conclude that the solution OF
the furlough problem that would oe the
most satisfactory to the Feoeral en-
ployes would be to put them All on a
flve-day week. Are you aware tnal We
get no leave or vacation at all TINS
wear unless we can take our furlougn
at one time? Putting us on five-day-
week basis would be the last straw ard
would result In disgruntled lot OF en-
ployes.
we accept the pay cut without com
plaint, but why must we be punished
by taking away all chances OF lew
weeks of rest and recreation at our own
expense? A day a week Is OF no value
whatever. and, as for myself, would
rather be at work than have my time
of all minced up into little bits, In
which one can go nowhere nor get any
good out of it.
I know that the rest Of the en-
ployes with whom 1 am associated are
of the same opinion about the unde-

have already lost II days Of leave
I was entitled to, due to the arbitrary
changing Of the law, which could not
take before July l, due to the condition
Of the work, and there are many others
similarly penalized. Must we in addi-
ton lose all chanse to get any vacation
this year? And to what purpose? Not
one cent is saved by cutting our fur
Tough into bits instead of letting us
take it as and when we wish, as an
nual leave was applied in happy days
gone by.
To those of us whose homes are
more than a couple of hundred miles
away the five-day-week plan and nc
leave means that we can make no triu
home this year; and to those whose
homes are on the Pacific Coast like
myself, it means no visit home for two
or three years with the new 15-dav an
nual leave regulation. Federal positions
in Washington are being made very un-
desirable as it is, and 1 hope they are
not made more so by following your
suggestion. A. M. LEVERS.

Geneva Winds Up.

1t will hardly come as surprise to
a weary and disillusioned world that
the Geneva Disarmament Conference
is about to wind up for the Summer,
after five months Of futility. The talk
fest Is TO be resumed in the Fall.
President Hoover's recent proposal for
cutting down the armed forces Of the
powers by horizontal one-third is to
be shelved, along with the rest of the
pious resolutions Geneva has consid-
cred and passed since 1t embarked
high-hearted. upon its task last
February.
Before 1t adjourns the conference vii

program and setting forth the points
on which the various delegations arr

resists to the last. In such a melee
innocent persons may be killed. Last

the cost Of restoring peace was not

Such tragedies bring sharply to at

There is no cure for these sporadic
outbreaks. There is, however, a pos
sible check on the personal armament
of those who harbor latent grievances
that flare into murderous rage. A
newly enacted law, which is about TO
receive the Presidents signature, makes
an advance toward this end in the
District of Columbia, but it Is not yet
after long consideration and numerous
changes in the legislative process, 1ully
adequate. As long as it is possible
for people to arm themselves WIN
deadly weapons and supply themselves
with ammunition these scenes OF
slaughter will be enacted.

Chicago Circuses Are But

THE Gallery Mobs" in your issue OF

expect from a group of nincompoopS
who crowd galleries where political
boloney peddlers hold forth? RatlonaI

not as stupid as that.
The Chicago circuses are good crlterla
to gauge the stupid status we are yet
begged in. They are human barometeTs
to go by. And when we seriously look
at the acute position in which America
finds itself today we wonder II we
are not going from paradise to he'll:
If you want to witness nonest-to-
goodness intelligent behavior, take IN

Until that time comes, the best we can
do is to sympathize with you IN your
