Changes Rumored as Probe

LONDON, May 15.-Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwins cabinet, involved
simultaneously in budget leakage"
inquiry and a League of Nations con-
troversy, was reported in some British
political quarters today to be in for
important changes.
The press indicated Viscount Mon

about to retire, possibly to be replaced
by Sir Samuel Hoare, and also limited
cautiously:
"Other changes are believed to be
imminent"
Rumors of an impending cabinet
shake-up circulated further as the

that an escape of budget secrets
caused a rush for insurance against
increased income and tea taxes, re-
sumed its inquiry to study bank books
and investment records of Colonial
Secretary j. H. Thomas.
The one-time locomotive greaser,

submit his financial records to the

whether he gained any Of the $5Oo,OOO

BLUM CITES PEACE

Likely Premier Says Question Of
War Debts Is Wiped

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 15.-Leon Blum, de-
stined to become the French premier,
renounced today any idea that the
new Leftist government will wage "a
war Of propaganda or reprisal"
As for Frances war debt to the
United States. he told the American
Club: I'm France we believe the ques-
ton Of debts Is wiped out"
He called the debt issue "a tragic
misunderstanding between the two
countries"
Avowing Frances desire to 'live
at peace with all, Blum added 1t was
only natural that France would lean
toward special friendships with ma
tions which, like her. are passionately
attached to public, civil and personal
liberty" and ''the same ideal Of social

Badly Arranged Signals.

One of the most practical innovations
in handling rush-hour traffic so far de-
Matchmaking Thirteenth and Twelfth
streets one-way streets in morning and
afternoon-is credited to Commissioner
Hazen. He made the change early in
his administration. But Commissioner
Hazen and Traffic Director Van Duzen
should do something about the deplorable
traffic snarl in the morning when heavy
southbound traffic pours into Logan Cir
Gle from Thirteenth street, Vermont and
Rhode Island avenues, all moving on the
same green light. The resulting congeS-
ton is not only annoying to the fran
tically footing motorists, but constitutes
a dangerous condition. Much OF the diff
Guilty could be removed by revising the
signal flash schedule, as on Thomas Cir
Gle, permitting traffic from Rhode Island
and Vermont avenues to move while
Thirteenth street traffic is halted, and
vice versa. That should be done.

Lengthy Preliminaries.

Representative Palmisano has prom
ised hearings on the Juvenile Court bill,
provided the Commissioners complete
their study and report on it.
The bill has just been returned to the
Capitol. more than six weeks after it
was sent to the Commissioners for report.
The measure was introduced on January
q and referred to the Commissioners.
Former Corporation Counsel Prettyman
made close study of its provisions and
proposed several amendments, acceptable
to the bills proponents. His report was
made to the Commissioners on March
81. On April the bill was sent to the
Budget Bureau, where it reposed for a
week, being returned to the Commits
sioners on April 9. 1t rested quietly
with the Commissioners for another
week, and was finally sent to Congress
with favorable report and proposed
amendments on April II.
Now that all that preliminary busi-
ness has been leisurely disposed of, the
bill ought to be given the hearing that
its proponents have asked for and which
Mr.. Palmisano has indicated would be
given.

District Flag.

There will be an impressive ceremony
at Washington Cathedral this afternoon
when the State flags of North Dakota
and Idaho will be presented by sponsors
representing those commonwealths. Ban
ners symbolizing the forty-six other con-
stituent parts of the Federal Union al
ready are hanging from the triforium
gallery of the Great Choir, their colors
bright and glorious to see. Nowhere else
on the American continent is there to be
found a more beautiful spectacle OF its
kind.
But where is the flag of the District of
Columbia? Echo answers the question.
The Nations Capital, voteless and voice.
less in the Nations councils, has no pen
nant. It's oriflamme, incontrovertibly,

Powerless? q?

Vice President John N. Garner may
not realize it, but it happens to be
fact none the less that numbers of his
fellow citizens entertain an ardent affec-
tion for him. He has won friends by
the modesty and reticence with which
he has worn his honors, the quiet but
not unkindly dignity with which he has
carried himself in a period of history
notably noisy, garish and turbulent.
So it is that many sympathize with
Texas Jack when he writes to a CORE
Spondent: You can't do everything you
want to, and 1 can't do half what I
would like to do. You can't control
everybody you would like to, and I am
in similar fix" The sentiment is
homely, yet honorable. Specifically, 1t
signifies opposition to current trends;
philosophically, it testif1eS to its authors
sorroWful comprehension of the COM
pleXity of life the powerlessness of even
the powerful to make all their dreams
come true.
Many mighty men have learned the
same lessons of experience. Alexander
sighed in vain for additional worlds to
conquer; Caesar perished at the hands
of traitors he had loved so much that
he included their names among the bene-
ficiaries of his will: Charlemagne died
conscious of the inevitable disintegra-
ton of his empire; Canute could not
control the sea- Frederick, called Stupor
Mundi, staked all his marvellous genius
against the papacy and failed of any
victory.
The list is endless. Cromwells COM
monwealth expired with his own last
breath; Washington spoke of his ordeal
in the presidency as torture; Simon
Bolivar collapsed from disappointment
over the sad fruits of his courageous
labors; Napoleon. the chained eagle"
gave up the ghost prisoner on a barren
rock, robbed of every vestige of his
quondam grandeur: Lincoln fell to an
aSsaSsin's bullet; and there are witnesses
still living who remember the tragic
countenance of Woodrow Wilson in his
hour of ultimate and conclusive defeat.
But little people also taste the bitter
cup. Such is the destiny of the race.
And few-Schopenhauer for instance
are pessimistic, grumpy and sour. Mr..
Garner, however. belongs to the majority
which does not despair. Failure and
loss, of course, are natural; rainy days
occur in every earthly career. But sue
cess, too is a law OF human existence.
The Vice President exemplifies the prin-
ciple. He may not be able ito do half
what I would like to-" Yet by the exer-
else of his own talents and through the
processes of democracy he has attained
to higher position and to larger power
than he could have hoped in even the
widest visions of his youth.

s'Mr. Zioncheck's" Speed.

When common, garden variety of
driver exceeds thirty-fve miles an hour
in the District these days his arrest for
speeding means the loss of his drivers
permit for fifteen days. When he goes
faster than that he loses his permit for
a longer interval-fifty miles or more
fiat revelation. Police have seldom had
to deal with speeding cases where the
motorist was charged with going over
sixty miles an hour.
The police have charged a Repre-
sentative Zioncheck" of Washington with
going seventy miles an hour. The Con-
gresham denies it was he. The police
make no bones about it. They say it
was. Certainly they would not have
permitted any common, garden variety
of motorist to 60 home to get his twenty
five dollars for collateral They would
have thrown him in the jug and let
him yell for help until it came. More
than one common, garden variety of
motorist has had that experience.
The police and the prosecutors have
also adopted the practice of summoning
speedsters to court, regardless of their
intention to forfeit collateral. Failure
to obey such summons has meant arrest
on warrant.
In the eyes of the law there Is no
difference between common. garden
