1,100 CHILDREN
MUST PLAY
IN STREET
Park View Playground Delay
Forces Pupils to Endanger
Lives Amid Traffic

Despite the fact that LOO
children Of the Park View
School have to play in the
street or on the cramped
school lawn, work Of improv-
ing the municipal playground,
across from the school at
Warder Street and Otis Place
Northwest, has been carried
on desultorily since its begin
ming last December.
Unemployed colored labor has
been used entirely on the project
and while a steam shovel could
have graded the playground in a
week the pick and shovel crew
have not yet finished that phase
of the improvement.
Work Only 6 Hours
Funds for work have prac-
tically been exhausted and today
was the first time since April l
that any workmen have been on
the job. They, like their prede-
cescors, worked only six hours.
While the playground, when
completed, will be a vast improve
ment over the old one, most of
the children are being forced to
play in the street during recess.
Otis Place, between Sixth Place
and Waller Street, is blocked off
at noon for that purpose, but
after school hours the children
have to shift for themselves, tax
ing chances in the paths of pass
ing automobiles.
Turns to Mud
Some few children try to play
on the playground, despite bricks
and other distractions, while
physical training classes and the
track team use a portion of the
area for their drills. Even these,
however, have to find other quar-
terS in rainy weather, for the red
clay quickly turns to mud.
Originally there was 12-foot
drop from the western end to the
eastern. One has been cut down
and the other built up to where
the area is now practically level.
More intensive work is sched-
uled to begin Monday. At that
time, the wooden house will be
removed and construction of
model brick structure begun.

Hoover Told Bankers
FAVOR the Glass Bill

Although bankers generally are
coming to view the Glass bill as
constructive banking legislation,
they favor some alterations in it,
President Hoover was told today
by Guy Emerson, vice president Of
the Bankers Trust Co., New York
City.
Principal objection to the bill
is aroused by the provision which
would divorce banks entirely from
dealing in securities, he said.

WORLD RELATIONS
SCORED BY LEWIS
Interdependence Lost Sight
OF, Sir Willmott Says at
Inquirendo Dinner.

The interdependence OF man upon
man and nation upon nation which
characterizes and is an integral part
of life today is being destroyed by a
world which, paradoxically enough, is
endeavoring to cut these strings which
bind it together, Sir Willmott Lewis,
Washington correspondent of the Lon
don Times. told members of the In
quirendo at their third annual banquet,
at the Mayf1ower Hotel, last night.
THE law of the life we live today is
the law of interdepen6ence," the speak
er said, explaining that man has come
to be more and more dependent upon
his fellows since the beginning of time.
Il can bring to mind many depress-
but to me the most depressing is the
shrinking foreign trade of the world
and with it that binding force that
holds man to man, nation to nation. -
Sir Willmott said it appeared We are
all denying the existence of that in
terdependence and running ourselves in
that denial.
Joseph Conrad Fehr, president of
the organization, presided at the din
ner. at which Prev Savoy, a member,
outlined purposes of the group and
suggested topics for future discussion.

ing for a mere existence. 1t is believed
this cartoon will carry a message to
the people, impreSsing upon their minds
the fact that the places where larger
economies could be effected are being
overlooked in the clamor for the reduc
ton in the salaries and wages Of the
employees.
"On behalf of the members Of Federal
Employees Union No. 29 National Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees, whose
membership is approximately 1000
wish to express our appreciation to The
Washington Star for originating and
printing the cartoon"
Mr.. Fisher emphasizes that Govern
ment workers are not fighting economy,
but that many misleading statements
and much misleading information rela-
tive to Federal employees salaries and
lsave conditions have been carried in
the public press.
This class was underpaid in the era
Of high living costs, he points out, add
ing that it was not until 1928 that
salaries were increased to a point ap-
preaching the compensation which they
were justly entitled to years before"
In many cases right now. the writer
continues, the scale is below that paid
for comparable work in the commercial
field
He also says that many employees hav-
ing from 20 to 80 years service have
never reached the maximum salary of
their grade.
Touching on leave, Mr.. Fisher says
the vast majority" of field employees in
the field get only Is days annual leave,
and that sick leave for the most part Is
10 or II days annually.
Wage cuts or reduction of personnel
which would be entailed by the 10 per
cent slash proposed by the Senate
would only make present economic con-
ditions worse, Mr.. Fisher concludes.

ALL'fF{cE SEEN AIM
OF HERRIOT IN SPAIN
Official Visit Is to Confer Legion
of Honor Upon Spanish
President.

BY Gable to The Star.
MADRID, october 25.-The forth
coming visit to Spain of French Premier
Edouard Herriot is causing considerable
interest here.
Officially the visit is described as
merely one of courtesy, but it is not be-
lieved the premier would make long
trip if there were not more behind the
scenes than the comforting of the Legion
of Honor on the Spanish President,
Niceto Alcala Zamora.
What is expected in reliably informed
circles is that France is preparing to
make some sort of proposal for an alli-
ance This might include an agreement
for the transportation of French troops
across Spain, in the event OF war, and
also permission for France to utilize the
Balearic Islands as base.
Spain is viewing this possibility with
complete reserve but is flattered that
France, the greatest power in Europe, is
seeking Spanish help.
One of the points of discussion, in any
case. will be the revival of the old
French proposal for Transforming the
present cxanish broad gauge railways to
the normal gauge used by the rest OF
Europe This would serve to expedite
the movement of French North African
troops to France in case sea communl-
cations are cut off

$500 TRAFFIC FINES
BY JUDGE
Warning Follows Conviction of 13
for Passing Red Lights
and Stop Signs.

Judge Ralph Given in Traffic Court
today threatened to impose fines as
high as 5000 for passing red lights and
stop signs unless motorists show more
respect for these regulations. The Judge
gave the warning after 13 persons ar
rested by one policeman had been
brought before him on these charges.
Judge Given found guilty each of the
13 persons arrested by Traffic Bureau
Policeman Raymond " Sinclair, and in
most instances imposed fines of only
SIS. These cases were among 81 that
Policeman Sinclair made on Rhode Is
land avenue last night. In IL of the
others the defendants faileo to appear
in court and collateral was forfeited,
while bench warrants were issued for
persons who were given tickets and
failed to appear
Judge Given said:
Drivers almost universally disregard
stop signs and it is also common for
them to beat traffic lights. 1t Is to the
interest Of motorists that they obey
these signs and prevent accidents, but
if they will not, then action must be
taken.
IF it is found that fines of IS and
$40 are not sufficient to put a stop to
this practice, then heavier penalties
must be imposed. Under the law the
maximum fine is $500 and the court
is prepared to impose such sentences
as is necessary to stop certain prac-
ticeS,"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 25.-
Ohio, with its industrial cities, has been
harder hit in the matter of employ
ment than other States And nowhere
in the Union has this condition of un-

Republican party a more severe blow

reaches half a million, including farm
labor as well as that of factory, mill
and general business. How is this great
body of unemployed workers going to
line up on Election day?
Therein very largely lies the answer
to the presidential election question.

PARIS, October 25.-Premier Herriot
told the Chamber of Deputies when it
resumed its sessions this afternoon that
he was ready to discuss either the gov
ernments foreign policies or any do
mestic issues which the house desired
TO present for debate.
Thus he avoided a question of con-
fidence at the outset of the session, al
though before the chamber convened
1t had been reported that he would in
sist upon defending his foreign policy,
including the issue of the American
debt, before taking up any other mat
ters.
Twenty-one interpretations were read,
including one in connection with the
agricultural problem, one of the most
important domestic issues. The So
Cialists approved postponement of the
debts discussion until after the Amer
lean presidential election.
Louis Marin. leader of the extreme
right nationalists, opened the debate
with the assertion that while he recog
nlZeO the lIlpOIldIlCe Vi tlle dSilCul-
tural problem, nevertheless, he wanted
to know the governments attitude on
the debts. Debate was postponed, how
ever by vote of 500 to IS.
Other deputies asked that priority
be given to discussion of bill spon-
sored by the ministry of agriculture
which would make obligatory declara-
tions concerning stocks of wheat on
hand.
The chamber today received a gov
ernment bill providing for the appro-
priation OF 2500,000 francs tS100,000)
for participation by France in the Chi
Cago fair of 1898
