what under the circumstances the
people themselves would have de-
manded.
Upon this assumption of an as
sured approval Of the national elec-
ton Hitler was taking no chances
when he called for the vote of ratifl-
cation. His supreme confidence in
his ability and his control Of the Ger
man people as voters was denoted by
this expression: by refusing to an
ticipate the future and final shaping
Of the constitution Of the German
Reich I believe that 7 will succeed in
adding to the title of Reich chancellor
new honor for the future"
What that future holds for Hitler
cannot be foretold. He has aroused
bitter enmities on the part Of large
groups Of people. He has alienated
the support OF many within his own
party organization. He has brought
the economic structure Of Germany
into a dangerous state and he has in
tensified the hostility of foreign ma
tions. He has before him a tre-
mendous task in the solving of do
mestic problems and the avoidance
of conflict. Some Of those who have
met him in person and have studied
him closely believe that he has spent
his force to the point Of inability to
meet new crisis. In the high Office,
his title to which will without debt
be confirmed today, he may meet the
fate that comes to meager men who
seek and seize unlimited power.

Wallace at Sea

Secretary Henry A. Wallace be-
lieves in building up by cutting down.
Having tried it on the American farm
ers, he proposes to extend the process.
He would throw the American mer-
chant marine and the carrying trade
OF this country into the discard. He
believes that Americas exports should
not exceed its imports. In a letter to
Representative Bland of Virginia,
chairman Of the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee. Mr.. Wallace opposes
any further Government aid to Amer
lean shipping. He would leave partly
to foreigners the carrying trade. in
which our natural advantages over
them are not as great as in other
forms Of production"
Secretary Wallace cannot be so ie-
norant of the shipping situation as
not to know that foreigners do a very
large part Of the carrying of American
overseas commerce today. If the Gov
ernment gives up all aid to American
ships it will mean that the whole
overseas carrying trade will be turned
over again to the foreigners-as it was
before the World War. It will mean
that the merchant marine, as an
auxiliary to the Navy for the defense
Of the Nation in time of war, will
vanish. Coming from Iowa, Mr.. Wal
lace expresses the opinion that we
should concentrate on our rich inter-
nal resources" This has the smack
of sectionalism, rather than a broad
viewpoint for the entire Nation.
The Secretary of Agriculture is
strongly favorable to Government sub
sides for the farmers. He stands
committed to paying the farmers fol
not producing crops or parts of crops
Perhaps he might be induced to stant
sponsor for payment Of American

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL r. KENNEDY.

With the congressional election sea-
son at hand again, members of Con-
gress are bringing out again the old
basket Of tricks to interest their con-
stituentS. There are q number OF
good old standard, neutrality-suspicious.
ways Of letting the voters back home
know what q diligent and effective
member they have. One Is to use the
privilege Of extension of remarks IN
the Congressional Record to make 60
report to my constituency" Herein
the member sets out to show how the
various legislative measures were of
advantage to the voters In his district
and usually they make 1t appear as
though they almost single-handed put
through this legislation. But strange
ly enough they omit mentioning the
work that took most Of their time and
was most bothersome-running er-
rands to the various Government
establishments, hunting for jobs for
thousands Of folks, and oftentimes
giving handouts to needy from their
district who have gone broke In Wash
ington.
One Of the most popular methods of
showing how good they are is to flash
on their audiences and have printed
in the newspapers Of their district let
ters from high Government officials
stressing the importance of the sup
port they have given to the admins
tration and the necessity that they
should be reelected. This year let
ters of this sort from Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley, who Is national Demo-
cratic campaign manager, are being
given most prominence and are most
numerous. Then there are always
those who circularize their voters
with copies Of the famous speech
made by the late Champ Clark OF
Missouri on "The Making Of Con-
gressman," in which he showed the
value of length of service and famil-
iarity with the job and of contacts
made during long term Of years.
Some years ago Uncle Joe" Can
non was kept busy for weeks at a
time having his photograph taken
patting some fellow member on the
shoulder to show how "close" that
member was to the then Gear" Of the
House. Since then successive Speak
ers and House leaders have done SIM
liar service-Gillett,, Longworth, Clark
Garner, and now Representative
Henry T. Rainey. But In recent years
somewhat more popular has been the
picture Of the congressman hurrying
into the White House for an i'm
portant conference with the Presi-
dent. This year many pictures are
being displayed of the member con-
ferring with relief organizations on
public works, agricultural relief OF
other Federal grant through which
money and employment would now

Some candidates for reelection are
going modern and having motion pic
lures taken Of their activities in the
Capital, which they supply to various
American Legion posts, Oranges,
Rotary or Kiwanis or other clubs.

Voting Is Not Prohibited.

Civil service rules forbidding poll
tical activity by employees of the class.
ified civil service were designed fol
two reasons. One is to protect the
employe. If he actively engages in q
political campaign, it is natural that
retribution will follow should he be
on the losing instead of the winning
side. The other is to protect the
integrity Of Government service. Il
employees of classified civil service
were free to become working politi-
clans, they would have to put more
time on politics than ON their Gov
ernment duties. Political activity and
faithful performance Of Federal serv-
ice do not mix.
The rules have been interpreted as
applying to the forthcoming liquor
referendum in Takoma Park. The
Civil Service Commission has furnish
ed to The Star a memorandum ex-
planning and clarifying its interpreta-
ton of the rules as they apply In
Takoma Park, and this memorandum
appears elsewhere in todays Star. II
is not believed that the application
Of the rule to the Takoma Park ref
erendum will seriously affect settle
ment of the issue there, one way or
the other.
There are members of the Takoma
Park community Of homes who are
in the classified civil service. Some
Of them have, as good citizens, taken
an active part in neighborhood dis
cussions and movements. They will,
as good citizens, continue to do SO
without violating in any respect the
Civil Service Commissions rules. The
important duty before the citizens OF
Takoma Park is to get out the
vote"-that is, to see to it that every
qualified voter in Takoma Park casts
his ballot on election day. Federal en-
ployes can vote. They may not, in strict
compliance with civil service rules,
actively campaign on the issue to be
settled-and the issue. In this case
has been viewed by the Civil Service
Commission as political-but they can
vote. That Is important.
The commissions Interpretation OF
the issue in Takoma Park as being
the liquor issue, and therefore poll
tical, is open to challenge. 1t is con-
ceivable that voter there might be q
vigorous, wringing wet and at the same
time oppose the sale of liquor In q
community Of homes or residential
! district. He might seek to persuade
others to his view, not as an advo-
cate Of prohibition-a political issue
but as an advocate Of what he con-
ceives to be the protection of his home
against unpleasant surroundings. Ger
tatnly the civil service rules, admir-
able in principle, were not drawn with
any thought Of application to the in
formal referendum in Takoma.
Be that as it may, the most i'm
portant thing for Takoma residents
to do is to vote in the coming refer
endum. Civil service rules do not
prevent voting.

Riddle of Europe
Centers i'm Hitler
BY A. G, GARDINER.

LONDON, August 18.-The riddle
of Europe, which has been deepened
by the Cleanup" in Germany, the
assassination of Dollfuss and the
death Of Hindenburg, centers at the
moment in Hitler. That his assump-
ton of dictatorship more absolute
than anything in history will be con-
firmed in Sundays voting may be
taken for granted, for every precau-
ton has been taken to insure the
assent Of the electorate. But with
that confirmation, his troubles begin.
While Hindenburg lived Hitler had
behind him the moral sanction of the
prisoner Of the palace" but with the
disappearance of the last remnant OF
the republican regime and his as
sumption of universal authority, he Is
vulnerable to all the lightnings that
play around him.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY. PHnANDER JOHNSON.
Relief,

Relief.
In the experience Of life
The pleasure that is chief
In all this world of care and strife
Is offering relief.
If Nature we misunderstood
And shortages bring grief,
It shows our hearts are truly good
When we extend relief.
But Nature should not be upset
And render harvests brief
Just for the generous joy we get
In giving friends relief.

Penn State Promotes
Scientific Discoveries
BY HARDEN CoLFAX.

The formation Of o corporation by
the Pennsylvania State College 10
keep the benefits Of scientific dis
coveries within reach Of the public
directs attention anew to the excel
lent work being done by American
institutions Of higher learning In re-
serving for the benefit Of society, In
general the results Of their research
activities.
The new organization Is 10 be
known as the Pennsylvania Research
Corp. It is non-profit-making
body, the sole purpose of which is 10
take out patents on inventions and
important scientific discoveries made
by the faculty and stan members OF
the college for the purpose Of foster
ing and advancing scientific re-
search"
Several hundred research projects
are under way continuously at the
college and quite q number Of them
give indication Of immediate and
practical value to industry. Heavy
water (the oxide Of deuterium) or
heavy hydrogen, win be produced on
q commercial scale at about 81 q
drop at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege. It will be sold at cost TO scien-
! lists. It is expected that certain
types Of patented processes and de-
vices can be made most effectively
valuable to the public through
licenses to one or more commercial
or manufacturing agencies. The idea
is to make selfish exploitation or mis-
use impossible.
Pennsylvania State College Is the
twentieth institution of higher learn
ing in the United States to adopt
this method of giving to the public
the benefit Of what its scientific in
vestigators may work out. Along
many different scientific lines, with
q general view to the development Of
our natural resources, the aim is to
make possible the starting Of new
industries. AS a result, new jobs and
new wealth will be created.
It is not solely q matter Of profits.
The current statements of most Of
the institutions which have de-

Louis, Illinois, Lehigh, Johns Hop.
kins, Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Cornell, California Universities
and others-admit that it-is often O
matter Of pride with men engaged In
purely scientific Investigation that
their discovery should be given freely
to the professional public. However,
1t has been learned that pseudo
scientific exploitation may be dis
honest or may bring discredit to the
science by exaggeration." Therefore,
In the words of the head Of the or.
ganization Of the University Of Wis
consin, the best practical control Is
provided by patent laws, and the re-
suit Is not only profit 10 the inventor
and manufacturer, but also n social
gain.
Harvard University has announced
that hereafter no member Of its
schools Of medicine or public health
shall take out for his own beneft
or make any profit On . patent upon
any invention or discovery that af-
fects the individuals Of the public"
The records Of the Patent Once
show the assignment Of a number Of
patents from these research crgani-
zations to the parent institutions or
to other non-pront-making agencies.
