NEW YORK, May IA group
of the Ohio home folk had din
ner the other night and drafted
resolutions asking my wife and me
to return for a visit. AS I haven't
been home for 27 years it was
thoughtful and perhaps significant
to see the names Of the Sheriff and
Police Chief on the scroll.
A refurbished ancestral home
with expansive front porch and
yard centering a 100-year maple
are awaiting. Plus a neighborly
warmth city never acquires. Af-

tenants. Three only!

been splendidly romanticized in w.

1t is emblematic of all the whole
some simplicities. Some day, likely
soon, I will pick up enough courage
to go back, but somehow I'd like
to remember as I last saw 1t.
I have told mannerly fibs as to
/ why never returned. The truth is
too many of my illusions have
cracked wide open. This one I want
to hug tight and never let go. It's
the only haven of which have nc
memory of pettiness deceit or a
solitary vestige of mans inhuman-
ity to man.

GIVE HIN CREDIT

Whether one agrees or not with the
Presidents determination to veto the
bonus, he must be given credit for refus
ing to dodge the most serious issue, po-
litically speaking, yet to arise in his ad-
ministration.
The bonus has been a "sore spot" in
congress over several administrations,
and it has been used as political foot
ball more often than not.
This week there were rumors that the
President was only half-hearted in his
opposition to the bonus and was hoping
that his veto would be over-ridden,
thereby aiding the Democrats political
ly, for "big business" would approve the
action of the President in vetoing the
bill, while the veterans and their sup
porters would stick with the Democrats
next election because that party gave
them what they wanted.
Mr.. Roosevelt came out yesterday
with the flat statement that he not only
will veto the bill, but will appear before
congress to present the veto in person
and will tell congress just why he is TAX
ing such a course.
81 hope with all my heart that the
veto will be sustained" were the words
Mr.. Roosevelt used.
That is certainly frank enough and
proves the President has political as we'll
as moral courage in not seeking to side
step. No less a close friend and influen-
tial political adviser than Vice President
Garner was reported to be advising the
President to "straddle,'' and has not
publicly denied the charge. -.
Mr.. Roosevelt may be criticized for
many things but must be credited with
refusing to play politics with the bonus.
Even his most critical opponent of his
determination to veto the bonus must
agree that he has the courage of his con-
victions.

ton prior TO Hitler's rise power,
the Communist party polled 6,00o,-
900 votes in Germany and consid-
ering that the party had only st.
500 votes in Russia when they
overturned Kerenskys government,

Bloom, a member of the House
"Super-Lob Committee which has

that he had asked police departments
OF major cities to submit data con-
corning all chain store employees ac-
cused Of short weighing customers.
IF Representative Bloom intended
to be fair" asked Logan, why should
he request the police to submit records
on complaints against chain store
employees only? Why does
he not request records on short
weighing by all retailers, in order
that fair comparison may be made?"

PICKED
TO TAKE STAR CUP
Federation Executive Group
dominates Winner of
Civic Award.

w. I. Cleveland of Kensington was
chosen last night by the Executive
Committee Of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation as Its nominee to re-
ceive The Star Cup, token of the
highest recognition 1t is possible to
attain in the nearby Maryland COM
munity's civic circles.
The handsome silver trophy is
awarded annually by the federation,
composed of some 40 citizens groups,
to its committee or delegate perform
ing "the most outstanding public
service on behalf of Montgomery
County" and the cup has been in
competition since 1925, when it was
presented by The Evening Star.
Recommendation by the committee
is regarded as tantamount to selection
by the federation. which will award
the trophy when it reconvenes at the
Bethesda Elementary School on Sep
TENDER 8, after being in annual re-
cess during the Summer months.
In choosing Cleveland, who is vice
president of the federation and presi-
dent Of the Kensington Chamber Of
Commerce, the Executive Committee
announced it did so as a reward for
his outstanding work as chairman Of
the Legislative and Legal Action
Committee and for his long and
hard work for the federation
The committee further declared the
successful manner in which Cleveland
served as chairman Of the committee
which arranged the annual dinners
held the past two years was a factor
in its selection.
During its meeting, which was held
at the National Press Club. the Execu-
tive Committee and members OF the
Advisory Committee discussed topics
which appear on the federation's CAL
endar for the coming Fall and Winter
session.
The Committee on Roads, Streets
and Bridges was instructed to investi-
gate the possibility of improving the
appearance Of the Maryland entrances
to the Capital at Georgia, Massa-
chusetts and Wisconsin avenues.
1t was reported that a thorough
analysis of the county budget and also
the legislation enacted for Montgom-
cry County during the last session Of
the State Assembly will be ready for
presentation to the Federation at its
next meeting.

EXPERTS DENY j. $.
CREDIT SLUMP|NG
New York Bond Dealers
Blame Bid System as
Issue Lays.

Treasury officials, financial expects
and commentators continued today to
speculate on the significance ana the
reason for failure Of the bond mar
ket to absorb fully an offering OF $780,
5000 of federally guaranteed Farm
Loan ~ per cent bonds. No unani-
nous opinion was reached.
The sharpest point at issue was
whether the acceptance OF only about
S85 100000 of the issue meant the
Federal credit was beginning to lag,
but this drew quick denial from the
Treasury Department, and even pri-
vate bond experts were inclined to
look elsewhere for the explanation.
From New York it was reported by
the Associated Press that the experts
IN bond transactions felt the poor re-
ception was traceable to the Treasury
policy Of offering bonds at COMPETE
tive bidding in relative small amounts
at frequent intervals rather than CIV
ing the market an issue at a fixed
price geared closely to yields available
on comparable outstanding obliga-
tions. There was general agreement
that the Governments credit rating
was not involved.
Still Dispute Theory.
There appeared no disposition on
the part of most of these critics, who
have maintained for some time that
the system was not practicable for
continuous use, to change their opin-
ion when they read Secretary Morgen-
thau's statement from Washington
that he did not consider the COMPETE
tive bid method was responsible for
the unfavorable results.
It was pointed out that in using
the competitive system banks and
dealers naturally tended to shade their
bids as closely as possible and that
this frequently resulted in an average
bid which was below the prevailing
market for Government bonds OF
similar maturities. When the average
figure becomes known, in these cases
there is usually downward readjust-
ment of the general market to accord
with the new issue, causing periodic
unsettlement.
The current offering, it was said
was almost completely ignored by
Government bond dealers, who left
the bidding mostly to the banks, which
failed to absorb it all.
Profit Small and Quick.
It is pointed out that the essence
Of the Government bond dealers bust
ness is a quick turnover at a small
profit and that the periodic setbacks
which have accompanied the COM
petitive bidding method have made il
very difficult for them to handle new
issues at a profit.
After conceding that the situation
"wasn't so good" Secretary Morgen-
THAI advanced no explanation Of the
circumstance, but emphatically denied
the bidding system was to blame. The
plan, he said, would not be abandoned,
although he declined to make any
statement about future offerings.

experience is the mimic warfare on
Italian soil. They are full of enthusi-

but how useful that will be against
tropical diseases and the wild and willy
Abyssinian fighters remains to be seen.
In the meantime Central Europe Is
seething with unrest.
What will Hitler do after Italy has
been engaged in an African war for
q few months? Will the display Of
force made during this week on the
Austrian border prevent a NaZi coup
in Austria? Won't Hitler take ad-
vantage of the situation and an
nounce to the world that the map Of
Europe is all wrong and that those
minorities which feel that they want
to join some other states will have
Germany's blessings? And the states
which are opposing such a move will
have to reckon with Germany's new
army and air force? Won't he tell
the Central and South Eastern Euro
pean states that he is ready to crack
down on them If they oppose the
natural move of minorities?
There are some 100000 Ger

The situation in that hitherto fore
most military power in Europe is bad.
Because of the economic and finan-
cial crisis the Communist idea Is
spreading.
There are at least so per cent Of
communities in the near Paris dis
tricts which have Communist mu-
nicipal councils. These officials have
at their disposal the revenue Of those
communities and can give unemploy-
ment relief only to those who Join
the Communist ranks. The situation
is serious and the French government
has recently. been compelled to bring
African troops from the overseas pos
sessions and garrison them in the
little industrial towns near Paris.
There is a question in the minds Of
the French leaders whether the white
troops would fire, in case of necessity,
against the French Communists.
