WORLD SERIES
DUE TO OPEN
AT new YORK
Hubbell to Pitch Opening
Game for the New
York Giants a
By HENRY McLEMoRE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-(UP)-
Out on the greensward of the
Polo Grounds this afternoon, IL
men are to engage in a competi-
ton which will be followed intent
" by millions of American cltl-
zens from the Golden Gate to
Hatteras.
Founded in 1908, when Pitts
burgh challenged Boston and
played eight games before a COM
parative handful of people, the
world series has developed into
the nations greatest sports spec
tacle. Today hundreds of thou
sands watch the series, and mil
lions follow the play by news
paper, radio and telegraph.
This years series will be be-
tween the New York Giants and
the Washington Senators. A near
capacity crowd of $4,000 is eX-
pected to watch the opening game
today. The betting commission
ers, who report that gambling Is
light have heightened the odds on
the Giants to win the first game
to IS to 10, with the provisO that
Carl Hubbell, ace New York
southpaw. is on the mound, At the
same time they have stretched the
odds on the Senators to to D to
capture the series. These odds,
however, are finding few takers.
Manager Bill Terry of the
Giants announced that Hubbell
would be his starting pitcher al
most as soon as the Giants
clinehed the National league PEN
nant. There has been a DISPOSE
ton to clothe the Senators pitch
er in mystery, but the general
opinion is that Manager Joe Gro
min will call upon General Alvin
Crowders who won "a games for
Washington during the regular
season. Crowder is the standout
of the Senators pitching staff IN
both ability and endurance.
Earl Whitehill, star southpaw,
and Monte Weaver, big right
handler, are other Washington
pitchers no one would be sur
prised to see start. Weaver is the
No. 4 man on the staff. but sew
eral experts believe Cronin viii
spring a surprise. just as did Con
ME Mack in 1929 when he sent
Howard Ehmke out against tire
Cubs in the opening game.
The first and second games will
be played in New York. with the
teams moving on Washington
Wednesday evening for the third
fourth, and if necessary, fifth
game. In case a sixth and seventh
engagement is required to settle
the series. they will be played IN
New York.
The rival teams have several
points in common. Both are man.
aged by men making their debut
as. major league pilots, and by
men who play as well as direct.
Also, both clubs were under-dogS
in. their respective league. When
the National league race opened
in the spring the Giants We're
overlooked by the experts, who
saw them as fifth or sixth place
material. The Senators were con-
sidered certain victims of the New
York Yankees in the American.
There. however, the similarity
ends. The Giants, young and in
experienced for the most part,
earned their way into the world

and Polo Grounds offices being
swamped by customers.
All of the box seats at the Polo
Grounds have been sold out for
three games.
The weather forecast calls for
fair, cool weather today. In the
event of rain, the series will be
continued in the city where the
interruption takes place until the
postponements are played off.

District Motorists Taxed
More Than Three Million

To the Editor of The Star:
AS you have been printing letters sent
from various persons regarding the
parking situation in Washington, per-
haps you will give this one little OF
your valuable space.
Recently have noticed "yelps" such
as Give us taxpayers break" or words
to that effect. While 1t is hardly to be
believed, it would seem that the writers
of these letters are under the impress
sion that the owners of automobiles are
not taxpayers. Well, let's see. In The
Star of Sunday, December 18, under
heading I'm the Motor World" by G.
Adams Howard, there appeared the fol-
lowing: Declaring that the average
motorist now pays $25 a year In gasoline
taxes alone, the A. A. A. opposes the
administration proposal to continue the
1-cent Federal tax beyond next June,
ETC." Now let us say there are 100000
licensed cars in Washington. There are
in reality more than that. That means
the motorists of the city pay $2,500,00
in taxes on gasoline alone. They also
pay 81 each per year for tags, adding
another hundred thousand dollars, and,
placing the property tax on their ma
chimes at an average of only SIS each,
another $500, 900 is added, making @
total of $3,l00,000 paid into the Golfers
of the District by its motorists, very
sizable figure Those letter writers who
refer to themselves as taxpayers should

by encircling hills and mountains on
all sides. Only very exuberant gale
is competent to carry heavy clouds
over such lofty barriers and such a
wide area. Occasionally, of course, the
unusual does happen, and yesterdays
snow is an instance in point. The
environment of the city is customarily
dry" Yesterday it was wet" Both
terms are relative.
Madrid, Naples, Constantinople, Pei
ping, San Francisco and Washington,
as glance at the world map viii show,
are just about ON the same line of lati-
tude, yet what striking differences OF
Climate they exhibit! The contours of
the earth, the path of the ocean cur
rents and many other factors are re-
sponsible for the variations. So it ap-
pears to the philosopher that everything
that is affects everything that lives.
Human beings, certainly, reflect in their
physical and psychological character
and conduct the environments in which
they find themselves 1t would seem
likely that If Madrid were to have
authentic Winter regularly the people
would adjust themselves to the fact, as
the people of Washington have. and
one Of the results of such an adjust
ment would be new appreciation of
Spring, the vernal season of rejoicing
to which even the sternest Winter
leads. That would be an experience
worth having, as poets testify.

Civil Service Commission
Should Preserve Records

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is lamentable that on the eve
of a change of party it should be
seriously proposed in the Senate econ
omy program to hamstring the Civil
Service Commission by aholishing its
service-recoid system and cutting of
SO of its trained employees. One OF
the great objects of the merit system
is to provide central agency. the Civil
Service Commission, where inforfna-
tion regarding the patronage OF the
Government can be readily obtained.
Instead of an inquiry having to, be
made of so agencies, there should
be one place where 1t could be made.
This proposal to abolish the central
service-record is not economy, but
chaos. 1t would be vastly wasteful,
since it would make it practically I'M
possible to find out even the most ele-
mentary facts about who is in the
Government service, the numbers en-
ployed, the salaries paid, and what ap-
pointmentS, promotions and removals
are being made. It is safe to say
that there is not corporation where
the record of employment Is not CEN
tralized in one Office instead OF being
scattered throughout the plant.
Abuses thrive on secrecy, and this is
especially true in the Government
service This need of publicity led to
the publication of the Blue Book, or
official register, at the beginning OF the
Government, but this publication has
been discontinued except as to the
higher officials. There will be nothing
even to take the place of the official
register if the Senate proposal Is
adopted.
The record of the patronage should
be kept in one way and open to pub
lie inspection in one place. II the
President, a committee of Congress, a
newspaper or a body OF citizens wishes
certain statistics as to the personnel
of the public service, how are they to
be obtained? If the commissions Sys-
tenn is abolished the inquiry would have
to go to so different agencies and
records consulted kept in varying ways.
Comparable statistics would be difficult
to obtain.
Surely the country will not be salts
fed if it is not to have the full light
of publicity upon the exercise OF the
power of appointment and removal and
the expenditures for salaries. 1t will
seriously add to the difficulties of the
new President If his appointing officers
are suspected of shielding partisan
abuses and favoritism. The only safety
of the incoming administration will lie
in complete publicity In respect to ap-
pointmentS. Otherwise partisan pres
sure will be encouraged and abuses
suspected. There must be no tempta-
ton to a reverSion to the condemned
spoils system.
The Civil Service Commission has
duty to see that the civil service rules
are observed and 1t cannot perform this
function without maintaining service
records of employees.

Service Commission.

The Roosevelt Doctrine.

It is not for the man in the street, or
ordinary mcrtals in general, to pierce
the veil that conceals the motives of
diplomacy But even they can hardly
fail to discern the relation of events In
America and Europe in these hours to
those in the remote Far East Tower
ing above them all are three prescient
sentences which yesterday fell from
the lips of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presi-
dent-elect of the United States.
Asked to comment on reports from
Washington that Secretary Stimson has
reaffirmed the policy that the United
States will not recognize territorial
gains made in violation of treaty
agreements, President Hoover's successor
said:
Any statement relating to any par
ticular foreign situation must, of course,
come from the Secretary Of State of the
United States
/ am, however, wholly willing to
make it clear that American foreign
policies must uphold the sanctity of
international treaties
That is a corner stone on which all
relations between nations must rest.
Diplomacy chooses its time, as well
as its words. Secretary Stimson con-
ferred with the President-elect on jan
uary g. 1t was on the eve Of the re-
convening in Geneva of the League of
Nations Cancellation Committee of
Nineteen" The committee, which has
proved itself more Committee of Con-
tinuation and Proscrastination than a
Committee of Cancellation, assembled
on January Is, according to schedule
Almost at the same moment that its
members were unlimbering their port
folios the State Department at Wash
ington caused it to be known that the
signal, mo change in Americas Man
churian policy" had been flashed to
our embassies and legations around the
globe That policy is the Hoover-Stim-
son doctrine.
And next day, while the paltering
pundits of the League were formulating
a new "ultimatum" to Japan-to submit
at the end of forty-eight hours new
proposals for settlement of the Man
churian conf1ict" Sam acted
again.
The Roosevelt doctrine, in bone and
sinew the counterpart Of the policy
which has governed Americas attitude
toward Japan's aggression against China
since its inception exactly sixteen
months ago today, is proclaimed.
Europe has been chiding the United
States for lack of initiative" in the
Far Eastern controversy. What has
Europe to match the lead exemplified by
the Hoover-Stimson- Roosevelt doctrine?

Snow in Madrid.

A wireless report to the New York
Times brings news of snow in Madrid.
the capital of sunny" Spain. The
event is noteworthy, because not before
within the memory of living man has
any such touch of Winter impinged
upon the reputation for salubrity en-
joyed by the administrative center Of
the Spanish republic. Madrid has been
exempt from that sort of visitation.
Cold it has known, and blistering heat,
but not something white lying three
inches deep in the streets" House
maids, never having had experience
with blizzard, refused to go out to
buy food. Even the lions in their cages
at El Retro, the citS's principal park,
roared mournfully in protest as the
white blanket spread around them. For
generations to come, doubtless, children
will be told of the miracle of 1888

Filibustefing Nears It's End.

AS State after State ratifies the pro-
posed twentieth amendment to the Con-
stitution-the twenty-third and twenty
fourth gave their approval yesterday,
leaving only twelve more to indorse it
the heyday of the senatorial fllibuster
draws TO a close. When the thirty
sixth State has given its assent to this
amendment and 1t becomes part Of the
highest law the opportunity to defeat
legislation in the upper chamber OF
Congress by protracted discussion dur
ing the final and short session will have
passed, for there will then no longer
be such short sessions. Under the tWen-
tieth amendment the Congress elected
in November Of an eyen-numbered year
begins its session on the third of jan
uary following. The only time limit to
its duration is that of its life, ending
with the actual beginning Of the term
of It's successor. Thus in theory 1t is
possible for a Congress to sit continu-
ously for two years.
Filibustering In the Senate Is now
only subject to check by the adoption
of special cloture rule, which may be
demanded by a petition signed by six
teen Senators and adopted by two
thirds vote. This rule was the outcome
of the fight against the armed ships
proposal during the period OF European
conflict preceding the entrance OF the
United States into the war. Prior to
that there was no check whatever TO
debate for the purpose of preventing
legislation. The rule has been invoked
only few times.
Under the twentieth amendment,
with Congress sitting in two long ses-
sions-which may be merged into a
single session-the field of the filibuster
is certain to be restricted to the clos
ing hours of the final session. 1t is
conceivable, Of course. that obstructive
tactics may still be adopted and main
tanned for many weeks, perhaps for
months, to prevent action upon some
bitterly contested legislation, but the
chances of success in such a case are
so slender as to be negligible. A special
cloture rule would almost surely be
invoked in season to bring about a
definitive vote on the measure.
1t is confidently expected that under
the new dispensation the essential
measures, particularly the appropria-
tion bills, win be advanced for consid-

Grafton sufficiently early In each ses-
sion to ensure adoption before the ex-
piration of the fiscal year, six months
from the beginning of each sitting. II
one OF them were to be delayed to the
point at which a filibuster might be
instituted and protracted beyond the
end of the fiscal year the device OF
continuing appropriation" is always
possible, to ensure the maintenance OF
the Government functions on the basis
of the existing allotments pending the
passage of the new law.
Public opinion is with very rare ex-
ceptions hostile to filibustering. A
months-long blockade of legislation by
a small group of obstructionists, under
the new system of immediate assembly
and theoretically continuous sessions,
would evoke effective protests The
spectacle of persistent discussion for
the frank purpose of preventing action
would be altogether too scandalous for
tolerance
Filibustering has perhaps served some
good ends In the past, but the danger
of the use of this weapon of blockade
for personal, selfish and mischievous
objects is too great for endurance of this
perversion of the Senate's self-estab-
lished privilege of full and free debate
Regardless of other advantages of the
new system provided by the twentieth
amendment this gain in legislative ef-
fectiveness fully iustifies the change in
the fundamental law and the adoption
of new schedule of congressional
sessions.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Senator Huey Longs crouch against
Senator Carter Glass ramifies back to
the hot days of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Chicago last
Summer. Glass influence in the Com
mittee on Credentials was cast against
the admission of the Kingfish's dele
CATION on the ground that it did not
truly represent the will of the Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana. Then and there
"Hooey' (whom the sedate New York
Times has just dubbed IAN impudent
upstart") is said to have sworn vow
OF eternal vengeance against the vet
eran Virginian. They had bit of
run-in on the convention incident
which terminated in Longs favor dur
ing the f1sticuffs over the banking bill
James M. Thomson, New Orleans pub
Usher and son-in-law of the late
Champ Clark, was in the press gall
lery this week, while Long was strut
ting his stuff. The Kingfish wants
President-elect Roosevelt to appoint
Thomson Secretary of War. Whether
the publishers chances have been i'm
proved by his sponsors recent antics
in Washington is matter upon which
opinions differ
Somebody who's bug on chronological
condolences reminds this observer that
the proposal for national prohibition
first reached Congress in 1874, the year
Herbert Hoover was born, and points
out that the noble experiment virtually
expires with the demise of the Hoover
administration.
Al Smith and Calvin Coolidge were
thrown together much after the latter
left the White House and got along
swimmingly. Smith was very fond of
the ex-President and enjoyed his droll
wit and humor. AS evidence of the
bond of friendship between Al and Cal,
it's recalled that when Smith in his
Boston speech during the 1882 cam
paign mentioned Mr. Coolidges name
and part of the audience booed, AL
scoWled, held up his hand and shouted:
Can that! won't stand for it!"
One of the spirited contests already
in progress on Capitol Hill ranges
around the coveted post of sergeant at
arms of the Senate, to which a Demo-
crat will be chosen to succeed popular
David S. Barry, Republican, who has
held the post for just Is ominous years.
The biggest senatorial patronage plum,
the secretaryship, is definitely ear
marked for Col. Edwin A. Halsey.
secretary to the present Democratic
minority. who will inherit the place to
which Edwin P. Thayer of Indiana was
elected in 1925.
