THE PEOPLE ARE MERE PAWNS

Observers of the European SITUATION see "ei
,ronv leaning toward active intervention IN the
snanish civil war, tempted by the chance to aug
ment Nazi prestige and by the fascist leahihsS u
the Spanish rebels.
IF Germany intervenes-and at the moment the
Nazi seem to be on the way to doing just that-the
Soviet Union might step in on the other siue' DIS
the world leader of Communism, toward winch Vne
Spanish government seems tending.
Then Italy might enter, according to the ooSer'-
ers TO prevent Berlin from eclipsing Rome as the
guardian angel of Fascism, which IS supposed 10
have been invented by Mussolini.
In such case, the vision of war suggests, france
could hardly remain aloof but would feel bound 10
checkmate Germany, and also to support france
ally the Soviet. Such, indeed, might be the pre-
,lude to the predicted next World war. This IS the
politicians view of what the socalled statesmen OF
Europe might be expected to do. ,.,.r., -. 80,

not only have bank robberies de-
creased from an average of 16 a
month to one-fourth that number,
but that the insurance companies
have just announced a reduction
of bank insurance amounting to
20 per cent in thirty-five states
because, as they put it, of the ac-
tivities of the Federal Bureau Of

bank robberies an increasingly

Telephony Continues Scientific
Research Child DIR. Jewett

Modern telephony, which enables all
but about per cent of the total estl-
mated 35000,000 telephones on the
globe to be connected with any Bell
system telephone, is the child of organ
lied scientific research, according to
DR.. Frank B. Jewett, vice president
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and president of the
Fell Telephone Laboratories. Writing
in the Bell Telephone Quarterly, DR..
Jawett thinks that scientific research
is destined to continue in this status
for many years to come. Without ven
turing, he says, on the unsafe ground
OF speculation IS to what further re-
search in fundamental science may
produce, it is known by telephone
scientists that there are still great
v:stas Of possibility for scientific re-
search in the field of telephony and
its sister services.
News Dissemination
Scientific research has developed
radio telephony so that ocean barriers
to speech have been destroyed, and
likewise communication made possible
to and between ships, airplanes, and
all moving vehicles. It has developed
rcGio broadcast and initiated a great
rcw industry in the realm of dis
so..linating news, music, and enter
t.;nment. 1t has made possible the
s'.u!taneous transmission of a host OF
messages over the
simple circuit which before its advent
carried but single message and that
but poorly. Finally, it has made pos
sibIe the interconnect;on of all these
services and in addition has given
birth to a great new industry where
sight and sound are joined for the
ediication end education of the public.
Bell Laboratories
DR.. Jewett says the Bell Telephone
Laboratories has built up great or
ganization of scientifically trained
r.on competent to contribute new
knowledge of fundamental character
to attack expeditiously and efficiently
any problem which presents itself and
with demonstrative capacity to pro-
duce results far exceeding the eX-
penditure CT time, effort and money
required il ter production. 1t is
true, he says, IS it he's been for many
years past that each advance in the
art of telephony o1crs the way to yet
other advances. How far it will be

GATHER
FOR DISCUSSION
FARM SUPPLIES

Farmers of 20 communities of
Maryland will gather during Septem-
Der and October at series of con-
ferences on the development of CO.
operative distribution of farm sup
plies. The series of meetings, which
will vary in attendance from several
hundred to small group meetings, is
being sponsored by the Maryland
Farm Bureau, it's affiliated business
organization the Agricultural Cor
poration and Southern States Coop
erative, regional purchasing and
manufacturing organization, accord
to C. E. Wise, Jr., secretary of the
Maryland Farm Bureau.
Speakers at the various meetings
will include Stuart Agnew, president;
w. G. Wysor, general manager; T.
K. Wolfe, director of distribution, w.
V. Fielder and o. E. Zacharias of the
Southern States staff, and Mr.. Wise
and A. R. Weed of the Maryland
Farm Bureau.
Dates of the September meetings
are, September 8, Bel Air (where the
meeting will be combined with the
opening of new store facilities); Sep
TENDER II, Taneytown; September Fl,
Thurmont and Hamptead; September
20, Westminster; September %, Eas-
ton; September "a. Preston; Septem-
Der 25, Denton; and September 30,
Chestertown. October meetings will
be scheduled at Centerville, Massey,
Glenelg, Elkton, Rising Sun, Ellicott
City, Salisbury, Sparks, Middle River
and Woodbine.
Last year total of $1,530,OOO,OOO
CT cooperative marketing and purchas-
ing was done by farmers of the Uni
ted States" says Mr.. Wise in COM
menting on the Maryland meetings.
Nearly one-fourth Of the farm of the
country are being served by coopera-
tive distribution units, and the Mary
land meetings will consider the i'm
provement and growth of the service
now in operation"

thing for the future to determine, but
in the last analysis it is problem for

Distance No Barrier
Electrical communication, according
to Or. Jev:cttts, he's crossed many from
tiers in the last few decades. 1t is
true, he says, as in every other field
that a frontier once crossed can never
again be a frontier. Telephone scien-
lists for whom the spanning of a con-
tinent or an ocean with speech chan
nels was once challenge have through
their success closed the door forever
to later generations. There is no bar
rier of distance to telephony anywhere
on the globe where man may be. The
establishment of telephone channels is
purely a matter of economics or of
policy.
Sixty-fve Countries
Telephone communication is now
possible between more than sixty
five countries and geographical To-
cations on the six continents of the
globe. Sixty years ago it was possible
to talk only between two telephones
connected by thirty feet of wire.

Takoma Park Citizens As

District traffic officials will BE
urged to adopt policy of maximum

in dealing with traffic violations, in
accordance with resolution adopted
last night at a meeting of the Ia

the Takoma Public Library.
DR.. Guy Clinton, chairman Of the
Comittee on Police. Fire and Public
Safety, said that this can be done
only through "undercoyer" activity,
catching deliberate violators un-
awares. When these drivers believe
few violations can escape detection,
thoughtful observance will replace in
difference, he argued.
The association also went on rec
ord, at the suggestion of David T.
Blose, as urging the purchase of ad-
ditional land adjacent to the Phila-
delphia avenue elementary school for
school expansion. He also reported
that efforts were being made to Sc
cure northern senior high school at
Fifth and Sheridan streets and that
as the result of the activity of the
association, this item had been in
cluded in the five-year school build
ing program. The school committee
also favored the erection of junior
college either at Fourteenth and Up
shur streets or Sixteenth and Ken
