RENAL ENLISTS
 FOREIGNERS TO
 REBUILD NATION
By PRISCILLA RING

ANGORA, May 16.- Econemic rebirth for Turkey; this is what Mustapha Renal, maker of mighty reforms, is now promising his young republic.
 His recent tour of inspection, by sea and by land, has already brought forth the major decision to divide Turkey into economic zones, each of which will consti- ute an administrative unit. The present administrative divisions, called bilayets, each of which has it's governor and separate budget, will be scrapped to give way to the new repartition.
 In making the new economic administrative map of Turkey, such factors as agricultural and mineral resources, industries, com m1rce, and means of transporta ton will guide the map-maker's hand.
 Tc Exploit Mineral Wealth
 Along with this reform the Kem- alist government is launching a big drive to discover and exploit Anatolia's largely untouched min eral riches. A new law reducing government taxes and transport charges will lower the price of Turkish minerals 50 per cent a ton. Heretofore the exorbitance of these charges made foreign min erals cheaper in Turkey than the local product.
 An English expert, engaged by the government to study Anatolias mineral resources, reports a wealth of chrome, manganese, copper, lead, and antimony, and advises government exploitation.
 To make possible the exploita- ton and transportation of copper from the rich Argana mines, the government is emitting a six mil lion dollar internal loan to build a railroad connecting Argana with the Fevzi ha-Diarbekir line.
 The Policy of Steep
 Kemal's policy of steel" refuses to bow to the world crisis. The government, far from abandoning railroad construction, is now nego- tiating with foreign groups for the construction of an important new line 279 miles long, to connect Sivas and Erzeroum.
 Another '-rebirth" measure is kemals engagement of foreign ex- perts to reform and build up Turk ish economy and finance. An Am erican, Robert Vorfeld, is already working on the reform of cus- toms administration. Another Am erican, Wallace Clarke, now in Paris, has just been engaged to re- form the state monopolies, the chief of which are tobacco, alcohol and alcoholic drinks, salt and sugar.
 Such is the new vogue for for eign experts, that one-a German has even been engaged to advise on means of transforming Mt. Olympus Broussa into Turkeys first center for winter sports.

The architect who dreamed the

country becomes an idle, a dangerous

Great strides are being made toward
Unemployment. Even in the season
which usually shows a slackening of
industry the rise is going forward. But
it must be remembered that the rise
is from the lowest point in the history
of industry in this country, and that
there is huge unemployment still ex-

each other what is going to happen.
They have begun to make things hap

But the structure must be soundly
made; it must stand on solid founda-

industry is concerned, is the ability of
the American people to buy its output.
Here is the great market for American

developed an ability to consume produc-

Proposes Armament
As a Cure for Crime

To the Editor Of The Star.
Much has been said. but little has been
done, about "disarming the gangster."
The very nature Of such an attempt
renders it impossible of accomplish
ment As long as guns are manu-
factured or are in existence the crooks
who need them in their nefariouS en-
terprises will never lack these vital
tools, even though they could be OBJ
tanned only by thefts from those who
have right to possess them. 1t might
be possible to deprive them OF machine
guns, but 1t stands to reason that rifles,
shotguns, revolvers and automatic pis-
tolls can never be eliminated from their
arsenals.
As a counter proposition, suggest
legalized and encouraged gun-toting by
every man and woman who can estab-
lish, to the satisfaction of the authori-
ties, that he is and has been a law
abiding citizen. Establish practice ranges
with competent coaches, under police
supervision, for those who wish to be-
come proficient and give them every
possible legal encouragement to use their
weapons effectively in emergencies.
I venture to predict that when the
gangsters have learned that most of
their intended victims are armed, and
after they have had to shoot it out" a
few times, they will either give up vio-
lent crime as a means of livelihood OF
be exterminated. D. E. CONWELL.

Nation owes the present beauty Of the
majestic cupola.
Certainly the achievement Of Sir
Christopher Wren, builder of the dome
of st. Paul's, London, was available to
serve as an example, and Walter may
have been in some debt to him. But
Wren, too, had the advantage Of fore
runner, Michelangelo, the great Tuscan
who gave st. Peters, Rome, its most
compelling adornment the dominating
feature of the skyline of the city Of the
Caesars, ancient and modern. And per-
haps Michelangelo was obligated to his
predecessors, Bramante of Urbino and
Brunelleschi of Florence, and they in
turn to the builders of the Pantheon and
of ST Sophia's. Constantinople. The
cupola theme is very old, and many
have been its architects down the ages.
The dome over Washington is fo-tu-
nate il being placed on natural ele-
1ation - having an ample park around
its foundations, Many of its European
contemporaries suffer from the lack of
these values. St. Peters, for example,
it is said, is truly seen by only one per-
son in a million. so surrounded is it by
other structures. The same remark
might be made of ST. Paul's, crowded
upon by all the architectural turmoil Of
the City.
All things considered, it is possible

In the death of Walter I. Mccoy,
former chief justice of the District Su-
preme Court. which occurred yesterday
at Cambridge, Mass, Washington loses
one of its most highly respected and
valued citizens. He came to the Capital
IN 1911 as a member of the House of
Representatives from New Jersey and
served for two terms. In 1914 he was
appointed an associate justice of the
District court, where his intimate knowl-
edge of the law and his exceptional
judicial qualifications enabled him to
render valuable service Upon the res
ignation of Chief Justice Covington that
post was assigned to Justice Mccoy. He
did much to improve the rules of practice
of the court. He was q stern admin
istrator of justice to those guilty Of
serious crimes and merciful to those
who deserved consideration and a
chance for reformation. Deeply inter-
ested in Americanization work, he de-
voted much time and energy to the

to America. His health declined, and
he was compelled to seek retirement
upon attaining the statutory age in 1929
and since then he has resided here
among the many friends he had made
during his nearly twenty years of
Washington residence A man of the
highest character and of the soundest
views of public questions, he was be-
loved by those who we're privileged to
know him intimately and respected by
all who were aware of his valuable con-
tributions to the public welfare His
death causes deep sorrow and a sense
of great loss, despite the fact that the
failure Of his health had required his
seclusion from active affairs for sew

of a man coming to Washington from
the States to participate in the busi-

set in on July 27. There is no earthly
reason why the agony should be pro-

lister Macdonald has Parliament on his
hands until then, and, as sponsor in
chief for the futility that will pass into
history as the London Conference, he
desires that its life be spared for the
period that Parliament is still sitting.

vague political advantage for his majes-

Washington in April, he warned Presi-

conference or politics of any kind could
divert British thoughts from the grouse
moors as August approached.
Those two principal conference die
hards. Mr. Macdonald and our own
Secretary Hull, in whose respective lexi-
cons there is apparently no such word
as failure, have agreed to ask the con-
ference to establish a "super-steering
committee" of experts who are to func-
ton at London until such time as the

wire is melted by the pressure and the
water thus formed passing above the
wire freezes again on being released.
Thus, in short time the wire cuts its
way through the ice, leaving the block
as solid as before.

Essential Improvement.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
Department Of Labor has reported that
half a million additional workers in
the industries which it surveys care
fully were added to pay rolls during
the month of June and that 7 per
cent increase in employment and a
1913 per cent rise in pay rolls in manu-
featuring establishments had been de-
veloped. For the first time since Oc-
tober. 1929 there has been an increase
in employment in manufacturing es-
tablishments over the number employed
in the corresponding month Of the pre-
ceding year. Here at last seems to be
very definite assurance that employment
is on the upgrade indeed
The Secretary of Labor, Miss Per-
kins, discussing the report of the Blu
reau of Labor Statistics, took occasion
to point out that the stepping up oi
production still threatens to outpace
increases in employment and in pay
rolls. Therein lies the danger to re-
covery on a permanent scale. For II
is clear that surplus of manufactured
and other products which cannot be
purchased for lack of buying power
on the part of the general public will
only bring a recurrence OF industria
and business depression. 1t is thai
danger which the industries of thu
country and their owners and oper-
ators must guard against. Efforts te
reap immediate and large gains from
cheaply produced goods-manufacturec
or produced before the codes of fail
competition under the recovery act car
become operative-are foolish and cal
culated in the end to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg.
The big investment which industry
mt make today is not in plant equip
ment and enlarged plants, not in sur
pluses laid Up for owners nor in bonuses
for executives. The big investment mus
be made in pay rolls. 1t is an invest
ment which will pay industry many
times over. For it will make it possible
