DECREE HONORS
MO OTHER Of
PRESIDENT

BETHLEHEM, Pa, June 13
U.S).-A smiling, white-haired
woman, who grew up in the era
when the nice girls didn't go to
college, received the honorary de-
gree of doctor of letters yesterday
at the 186th annual commence
nent exercises of Moravian Sem
mary and College for Women.
Beaming with pleasure and ex-
element, Mrs. James Roosevelt,
mother of the President, donned
her brand new cap and gown,
smiled at the young faces about
her, and remarked:
81 haven't enjoyed anying so
much in a long time"
The degree was bestowed by
Dean Mildred c. Johnstone before
he graduating class of the college,
which was founded before the
Revolutionary War.
Mrs. Roosevelt is the first
woman to be so honored in the
history of the college.
The Presidents mother, who
will be 80 on her next birthday,
found a gentle amusement in
achieving a college degree as a
great-grandmother.
Eyes twinkling, she said:
Really, there is something
very funny about it. You see,
I never went to college and I
never really had any academic
training"
Mrs. Roosevelt laughingly ad-
mitS she never went to school a
day in her life.
In her childhood, Sara Delano
was taught by governesses. Later
she studied abroad, under private
tutors.

SIX-BARREL MUZZLE

The owner is Carroll Taylor, of
Mamemie Park, who purchased it
from an old merchant in Bishop

The gun was made by Allen-Thur-

type are not unusual, but the siX-bar-

Seeker for Farm Loan
States His Own Problem

To the Editor Of The Star:
l have been reading from time to
time the different comments in your
paper on the results of the Presidents
creating of a Federal Farm Loan Com
mission, through which those who are
about to have foreclosure proceedings
served upon their farms and homes are
able to secure Government aid and pay
of the mortgage holders
l own a farm, on which I had to
place first and later a second mortgage
Now the holders of the first trust are
demanding Settlement-and being un-
able to met their notes-I applied to
the Farm Loan Commission for a loan
of $1,000, enough to pay off both
mortgages.
The commission sent an appraiser to
appraise the farm. They then sent me
papers. approving a loan of 81 500 on
the property This amount does not
cover the first mortgage of 1900, much
less the second of 5000.
Yet the holders of the first mortgage
are willing TO take Sl,750 for their
papers and release their claim-which
is just $3.50 more than the Government
loan commission will grant.
Now / am in about the same fix as
I was before-the owner of a farm
with two mortgages upon same. And
upon applying to the Federal Farm Loan
Commission for help. they approve a
loan of exactly one-half the amount
needed for relief.
If possible. please print this letter,
thereby / may be able to hear of some
solution to a problem of this sort.

while. . rumor went the rounds Of the
city to the effect that q prospective
gift Of large proportions had been fright
ened away. Henry Clay Folger, many
have had reason to suppose, left his
Shakespeare collection to the care Of
the trustees OF Amherst College be-
cause he feared the blighting touch Of
politics might injure the purposes OF
the endowment he was setting up If 1t
were committed to the custody OF Con-
eress as he once had intended.
Obviously. the continued welfare Of
the national Library depends upon the
continuance of a liberal policy on the
part of its nominal guardians. Each
gift made to the institution by pri-
vate citizens strengthens Its defenses
against mismanagement and exploita-
ton. It may be presumed that Con-
greSs is aware Of the power of the
people to guard its treasures, and 1t
likewise may be expected that the peo-
pie will be content to leave the Library
in the hands of Congress if the pre-
vailing consciousness of stewardship re-
mains operative in the committee
charged with the task and burden.

Liquor Regulation Inspectors.

A few days ago six inspectors and a
filing clerk were discharged in New York
for irregular action in expediting the
issue of licenses to individuals who
made such assistance worth their while
1t is noted that in the proposed set-up
of the alcoholic beverage board for the
District of Columbia there are to be ten
inspectors and Investigators, with base
salary fixed at $4,000. This is to be
compared with the base pay of proba-
tionary policemen of $1,000. less salary
cut and retirement deductions. But
policemen and firemen, when the auto
matte salary promotion is in effect, re-
celve an annual increase of hundred
dollars until they reach the top scale
for private of 81 400.
Should not the inspectors under the
license board be paid on the same scale
that policemen and firemen are paid?
The matter of salary is extraordinarily
subject to constant temptation. And
while difference OF thousand dollars
or so may have no fundamental bear
ing on moral stability. it is important
that men charged with such duties as
those which will fall to the license in
spectors be at least as highly paid AS a
policeman or fireman More important
still, policemen and firemen are Eow
selected by civil service examination.
They are under the civil service regula-
tions. When the eighteenth amend
ment was in force, it was found neces-
sary to place prohibition agents under
the civil service to end the pernicious
system of political appointment and re-
sulting graft and inefhciency SO widely
criticized at the time. Should not The
local inspectors be chosen by civil serv-
ice methods. and an opportunity for
political favoritism thus be closed at the
start? II enforcement of liquor regula-
tions is to be efficient and really in the
public interest such enforcement must
be divorced from politics in the very
beginning.
Evening star., 1934-01-09
Balancing the Local Budget.

1t is encouraging to note the Commls-
sioners' determination to seek more
balanced local budget by demanding the
expenditure of local revenues on neces-
sary municipal projects. already au-
thorized by Congress. Whether this
effort takes the form of filing supple
mentary estimates, or OF vigorous pres
entation of the Districts case before
the committees Of Congress. is not i'm
portant. The former method has ap-
parently been chosen to conform to pro-
Cedure established by executive rules,
although it seems a rather roundabout
method of seeking an increase in ap-
propriations before the regular District
estimates have even been studied by
Congress.
But in any event, the Commissioners
are on solid ground in asking that Con-
gress allow the expenditure of money
collected from the taxpayers and which,
If unspent, contributes nothing to ma
tional savings. There is no rhyme or
reason in piling up local revenue sur
pluses while the needs for which the
money has been collected 90 unmet.
At the same time it will be apparent
that an equitable budget for the Dis
trict of Columbia is not represented in
merely increasing the community S
share of expenditures. There is Fed
GRO nh ND ,o{k. ~
legation, in connection with the main
tenance and development of the Ma
tional Capital that does not decrease
during the depression years. The size
Of the lump sum may decrease, but not
the obligation. Last years large reduc-
ton in the lump sum was made from
q figure that previously had been sharp
ly cut. and the lump sum Of IS, TOO, 900
of last year, which is continued in the
current estimates, fails by wide mar
gin to meet the size Of the Federal
obligation that would be determined by
equitable considerations.
This matter, of course, is beyond the
powers of the Commissioners to correct.
Their authority, already so limited by
the growing assumptions of power over
local matters by the Federal Bureau of
the Budget, does not extend beyond
presenting, as we'll as they can, the real
needs of the city and showing that the
money to finance them is available.
But it is not too much to hope that the
committees of House and Senate will
make some effort this year to extend
their inquiries beyond the District esti-
mates as submitted by the National
Bureau of the Budget, and seek more
fair, as well as a more reasonable. al
location of funds.
It is certainly high time that some
decision be made as to the future course
of the community in adequate develop
ment. The danger signals of retarded
school construction are already flying,
and they should be needed.

ciently to cause . reduction In the
patronage of the swindle. But Of
course the main objective Of the police
is the conductor Of the game. and the
hope is that the newly organized squad
may reach him and put him out Of
business by making the risks Of opera
ton too heavy for continuance.
This numbers game is a revival. with
little change of form, of the old policy
game which fourished here many years
ago. It is a perennial institution. based
upon the cupidity of the credulous. 1t
may never be wholly eradicated, but 1t
can through diligent and persistent
police effort be made too costly to be
operated as flagrantly as heretofore.
Stiff prison sentences in all cases Of
conviction would soon put damper on
the game.
