Wants Mrs. Worreu
Decorated

To the Editor Of The Times:
In last nights edition of your
paper I note that "E. F. G." be.
lieves that the Government should
establish a decoration as an
award of honor for employees of
the Government who perform
meritorious deeds or who faith
fully perform their duties for
long period of years and I quite
agree with him although have
never been in the Government
service.
However, as soon as I read the
article by "E. F. G." the thought
popped into my mind that the
first decoration should be given
to that lady who for so many
years has been battling for the
rights of Government employees;
the lady whom I met at the Capt.
tol so many times endeavoring to
get the half.holiday on Saturdays
for the employees and who, it
is my firm belief, was responsible
for its enactment into law.
For years I have seen her ap.
pearing before committees in Con-
gress always trying to get some
benefit for employees and I think
that the Interior Department
where she works should take this
matter up and confer the very
first decoration on this most
worthy woman, Mrs. Margaret
Hopkins Worrel, whose praises
are sung by many members of
Congress and citizens of this
city. GEORGE GIBSON.

Wants More Drastic
Parking Bans

To the Editor Of The Times:
Notwithstanding the justifi-
able indignation of washington
motorists against certain no park
ing bans ordered by the Traffic
Department, there are numerous
streets in the city where park.
ing should be prohibited at all
times.
On some of the narrowest
streets in the city, parking Is per-
mitted on both sides of the
street, with the result that trat'
fic Jams on these thoroughfares
are frequent.
It is not unusual to see traffic
tied UP on these streets for long
periods of time while some big
truck double parks to move fur
niture or to hoist a piano.
If the Traffic Department
would use some good sense in de-
termining which streets are to
fall under a parking ban, traffic
might move more easily in this
city. A. A. A.

Sylvan Theater Opens
Wednesday Evening

The Sylvan Theater, which Incl
dentally, happens to be the National
Sylvan Theater, so named by act OF
Congress as far back as 1917, when
the first presentation Of national
drama and pageantry was enacted
there, will be the setting Wednesday
night for the opening performance.
1t was the late Mrs. Christian Hem
mick Of Washing. ION, who, aided and
abetted by Col. w. w. Harts. persuaded
Congress to pass the bill creating the
National Sylvan Theater to the south
east of the tall white marble shaft
that honors our first President, and
it was Mrs. Hemmick who carried out
the first program ever given in the
Sylvan Theater. Such distinguished
stage stars as Nine. Sarah Bernhardt.
Capt James K. Hackett, Nine. Sophie
Braslau, Andreas Pavley and Serge
Oukrainsky, Mrs. Lily Langtry and
Miss Anna Case, showed a personal
interest in the opening performance.
and except for Mime. Bernhardt who
sent her congratulations in the form
of letter, they were all present and
took part in the program Of the
occasion.

Writer Says Pitts
Deserves Chance

To the Editor of The Times:
May I take a few brief para
graphs to express not only my
disapproval but my disgust at
the letter which one who signs
himself "Debunker" wrote to
you a day or so ago.
Gliding himself in an aura Of
light which purports to show up
the things which various bust
ness enterprises will do to cash
in on a bit Of free publicity, Mr..
Debunker takes exception to the
fact that Alabama" Pitts will
be allowed to play in organized
baseball. He terms the decision
of Judge Lands, in giving this
young man a chance to redeem
himself as a means whereby the
persons who fought to give Pitts
a chance might use him to make
the "gullible public spend plenty
of money to see anyone who be-
comes notorious.

ever stopped to consider that his
attitude is Just such as to Stimu-
late the development Of hard
ened criminals of the Dillinger
type.
Several years ago Gerald
Chapman was hanged in Con-
necticut for the murder of a po-
liceman. Gerald Chapman was
q hardened criminal. He was
Public Enemy No. of his day.
Yet, Gerald Chapman had been
raised to be a criminal just be-
cause of the attitude of a mum.
Der of persons like Mr.. De-
bunker. When he was youth,
he stole a small amount Of
money, was caught and served
five years in prison, even AS Mr..
Pitts. Upon his release, instead
Of finding an opportunity to "go
straight" he found the gates of
society barred and no course
open save a career of crime. He
died on the gallows and de-
Servedly, but hardly think I'm
assuming too much in saying
there is great possibility that
he would not have done so had
he been given a chance to re-
deem himself.
Alabama" Pitts has served
five years in the penitentiary
for taking SIS during the course
Of a robbery. One year for every
dollar he received was the price
which Pitts paid. His debt to So
ciety Is paid. Even the victim of
his holdup joined the chorus Of
those who demanded that he be
given a chance.
If there were more Alabama"
Pitts in the world who were
anxious to win a place in the

Dillingers, a lot less Nelson's and
not nearly so many Valleys and

Bonus Will Repair
Shoes in 1915

To the Editor Of The Times:
Your correspondent, Mon
Shriner," is afraid" (What
does that word mean?) that q
vet was all wrong. He will
never be a war veteran If he
is afraid. But let's get down
to facts.
Does he know that the vets
were in Washington trying to
collect their back pay for 1917
10 and 1872 And does he know
that all the big corporations
got their pay when they
finished their job but the
Government thinks all the vets
worked in restaurants and
should be good waiters-and
wait til 1945 for their back
pay.
Yes, if he got to the front,
he got one big dollar and 10
cents while the con1monest
laborer at home got at least
81 a day. But, you are going
to say-he got his room and
board. Yes, he did, but your
good Uncle Sam was feeding
him for Al cents, and God was
giving him the glorious sky for
a roof. So you see that If this
country will give what the
Government in 1924 thought
was a fair wage ($2.35) to the
vet, he wouldn't have to come
to washington to try and
collect, but would be able to
stay home like all folks who
are afraid.
Here's hoping I live It'll 1945.
Then what get for % months
in France will either fix my
shoes or buy some pencils and
a few shoe laces to start me
in business in a big way!
Write some more, Non
Shriner, maybe I will tell you
something if this gets by.

rHE first session Of the first lame
dIlckless CnnpreSS Wl1izzed


duckless Congress whizzed
down the home stretch during
- the last seven days after "a
weeks Of slow-motion legislative activ-
ity and spirited pickering over prob
lens ranging from the birth control
Of bees to paying work relief laborers
prevailing union wages.
Heated words and lost tempers, a
game of hide and seek with a utility
magnate, the longest one-man fill
buster in 81 years, the rare sight of a
mother nursing her youngest in the
House gallery-the lengthiest session
Of Congress since 1922 is dappled
with strange doings incidental to the
major business of satisfying the eter-
nal cry: There ought to be law!"
From voting the biggest peace time
military appropriations in history and
granting almost five billion dollars at
one pop for relief, Congress took time
to consider allowing the employment
of skilled shorthand reporters in the
executive branch of the Government
and to debate q bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to deliver to
the custody of the Woman's Club of
Paducah, KY, the silver service in use
on the u. S. s. Paducah.
This shuttle train between the sub
lime and the ridiculous brought forth
a roll of anguished oratory that
.thundered from the day Congress con-
vened. January 3, but it is doubtful If
anything quite so alliterative appeared
In the Congressional Record as the
