WASHINGTON.-It seems that practically
anything that happens in Washington Is large
ly participated in by lawyers.
Please note that the principal characters in
the following story are President Roosevelt,
lawyer; Secretary Ickes. a lawyer; Newton D.
Baker a lawyer; Dean AcheSon. lawyer; Jer-
ONE Frank. a lawyer; Louis CLAWS lawyer;
Senator Hugo Black. lawyer; SilaS StraWn, a
LAWYER; Jouett Shouse, lawyer; Judge Alfred
Wheat lawyer, and Henry Hunt. lawyer.
In the background available for chorus pur-
poses, are Congress-about four-ttthS OF It's
members lawyerS-and the U. S. Supreme Court,
its nine Justices of course, all lawyers.
On Sept. TO- 1884, Roosevelt sent a memor-
andum to Ickes dated from Hyde Park, signed
IF. D. R. concerning PWA loan-grantS to
municipalities for erection of public power plants
The first the public heard OF this memo
was when. recently in the supreme court OF the
district of Columbia, Baker, secretary OF war
under Woodrow Wilson, and ArcheSon. former
undersecretary of the treasury under Roosevelt,
both appearing for power trust groups in an
effort to kill such projects, obtained subpoena
for memorandum of that description along
with many other papers in PWA files
The inference was that the Roosevelt memo
would tend to show administration intent, in
making such loan grants, to drive down private
power rates by providing competition from pup
lc,y owned plants.
Practically everybody in Washington, includ-
ing those in PWA, once believed that was exact
ly what Roosevelt and Ickes had in mind. Henry

panieS first began to sue on the ground that the
loan grants were unconstitutional.
But the supreme court, as in the AAA case,
began to indicate that motives were all-import-
ant and Frank brought in as special counsel on
the PWA cases. shifted the line of defense.
In the Greenwood County case he put 1ckeS on
the stand to repudiate the testimony Of a PWA
engineer and PWA press release and to assert
that the fundamental purpose Of PWA was to
increase employment and purchasing power
through public works.
That strategy turned defeat into victory
when the circuit court of appeals said it could
Mt 90 behind the word of Ickes. Baker and
Acheson, representing power companies in Okla
homa Alabama Texas. and Iowa, have tried
ever since to nail down their contention that
PWA sought to control rates.
Frank told Judge Wheat that the Roosevelt
to-Ickes memorandum confidential and pro-
tested against being forced to produce it. Wheat
upheld him.

SPLIT SECOND PERSPECTIVE
Christian Science Monitorl

Experiment has shown that many accidents
are traceabe to the great paradox of the road
motorists thinking in terms of miles per hour
while being called upon every day to act within
split seconds safety clue to be drawn from
this paradox is that motorists should be taught,
in a way they will not forget, to consider the
feet per second they cover when the speed
ometer hovers around forty fifty and sixty
miles hour.
But fifty mp.h. tmile5 per hour is 73 fps.
feet per second). 1t is easy to understand why
motorists cannot conceive of car covering 292
feet within the four seconds it takes driver to
turn and speak to rear-seat passenger. At the
same speed, how many realize when they pass
the familiar sign, Railroad crossing 200 feet
ahead" they will reach the tracks in less than
three seconds? One way to drive home this
lesson is TO reface the specdOmeter to translate
miles per hour into feet per second.
Manufactures probably would welcome the
fps. idea if drivers were TO obtain a better un-
derstandng Of car performance. An fps speed
ometer might induce motorists to maintain
proper margins of safety and drive at more
reasonable speeds within districts where every
second counts in avoiding accidents RestatIng
speeds in feet per second should encourage the
sanity so much in demand.

As gesture toward international
amlty the flight of the Hindenburg,
German colossus of the air, from Europe
TO this continent is received with ac-
claim by Americans. In 62 hours the
great flying hotel" spanned the ocean
and came to rest at Lakehurst, n. j.
and its commander was not trying to
establish speed record. Whether you
like the Nazis or not. you must admit
that the Germans build we'll when they
build their aircraft.
SiXty-two hours it took the dirigibe
to span the Atlantic. Peace loving peo-
pie vision fast passenger service, mail
service and possibly light freight de-
livery. Pacifists even hail the feat as
greater step toward international
peace, but they turn blind eyes to the
other side of the picture. SiXty-two
hours it might take some foreign power
to send machines of death across the
Atlantic, through the air, against the
isolated" United yates.
American geographic isolation is no
longer fact. Fast air travel. speedy
ocean liners and rapid communication
have reduced this country's isolation to
a minimum. True, oceans lie between
Uncle Sam and other powers = but
oceans are not serious barriers in these
days Such a craft as the Hindenburg.
transformed from peacetime flying
hotel into a wartime flying fort"
could bring planes guns and munitions
to the shores of the United States in
record time. 1t could rain down death
upon centers of population. 1t could
be the most serious menace in war. as it
is the greatest gesture of friendship in
peace.
Only through reparedness-not pre-
paredneSS for aggression but prepared
ness for national defense-can Uncle
Sam be sure of immunity from attack.
Through a more efficient air force the
United States would be immune from
fear of visitation of aerial destruction.
The surest path to peace lies through
readiness for attack, if there should be
an attack.

Sen Kenneth d. McKellar said last
Saturday that he hadn't heard about"
the capture by G-Men of Alvin Karpis,
Harry Campbell and William Mahan.
Perhaps the senator was too busy with
affairs of government to read about the
captures in the newspapers That would
be understandable if his time were de-
voted to foreign affairs, to tax matters
or other related subjects. 1t is not so
eXcusable when one considers that it
was the senator who asked J. Edgar
Hoover, head of the department of JUS
tice:
"Who did you ever arrest, Mr. Hoo
ver?"
Senator Mcclellan was a member of
senate investigating committee prob
ing into the affairs of the department
of justice. His choice on such a COM
mittee, to say the least, was not an en-
tirely wise one, it would seem.
To the man whose agents ran down
Dillinger and his aides and closed the
careers of all of the nations notorious
criminals, such a question as that put
by the senator was not in the best of
form. 1t makes a person wonder if
the senator had ever heard of Dillinger
