do feel that the opportunity afforded
by radio to the serious student for COM
pairing his work and progress with q
high standard of perfection by listen
ing to the great artists has immeasur-
ably widened the path to genuine
success.
This is an additional consideration
to that involved in the inspiration
which must come to talented persons
when by a turn of the dial they can
bring the worlds greatest music as
performed by musicians of renown

This is the advice of

Eastman takes issue with those who
believe there will be a scarcity of able
musicians in the future due to the ease
which which people may hear the
finest music in their homes via radio,
thereby removing the incentive for

Otto Won Hapsburg Might
Prove Instrument of Peace

To the Editor OF The star
The return to Vienna Of Otto Won
Hapsburg as king or emperor if it comes
of, may provoke the next European
war So a Star editorial has it. Indi-
rectlv. yes. But simply occupying the
Austrian throne. he might become an in
strument OF peace. At present NaA
Germany, no doubt. would not inter
fere. And Italy would be pleased to have
a well consolidated buffer state between
itself and Hitler The danger lies in
Hungary The Hungarians are Haps-
burg minded. Unless prevented by
Regent Horthy they would no doubt
acclaim Otto as King of Hungary.
Now. as we read. Austria has so many
internal troubles that there is no thought
Of regaining the lost dependencies Of the
former Austrian half of the old empire.
But Hungary feels different. 1t fervently
desires to win back those parts that had
to be added to Rumania. Yugoslavia
and, to a lesser extent. Czechoslovakia.
The CT cation of monarchy might stimu-
late this desire into warlike movements.
A successful campaign might please
Italy. because it would make the buffer
state" stronger.
AS IoT hungary, Sne is deserving
nation. For several centuries she was
the southeastern spearhead of Western
Europe against the Turk. In her rebel
lion against the then despotic Hapsburg
emperor and king l848l, she fought
gIoriously for two years. and was only
subdued when Car Nicholas I of Rus
sian sent 200, 900 men to Austrias assist
ance.
And here is one point that so far has
not been touched upon by American
observers. What is the majority Senti
ment in these former Hungarian terri
tories toward their new line up? Are they
satisfied with their status as parts of
Rumania and Yugoslavia? Or would
they rather 90 back to their old al
legiance? FRED VETTER.

NO Mans Land Comment
Is Held to Be Justified
To the Editor Of The star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
May l say few words in answer to
the column entitled, Legal No Mans
Land" which was written by Carlisle
Bargeron and appeared in The Evening
Star on Saturday, June 6?
The column was a criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt because of his mo Mans
Land" statement following the decision
OF the Supreme Court holding uncon-
stitutional the New York minimum wage
law. Mr.. Bargeron makes his first error
in his very first sentence, when he says
the reaction from the Supreme Courts
decision has not been pronounced one
way or the other. The actual fact is that
everybody who really knows anything
about constitutional law is completely
upset by the decision, and the conserva-
tive Republican Party is forming a plank
for their platform demanding a eonsti-
tutional amendment giving to States the
right to do exactly what the Supreme
Court held they may not do.
But the supreme bull by Mr.. Bargeron
was the attempt to show a no mans
land" existed before the Supreme Court s
decision. was intended to exist by delib-
crate plan of the trainers of the Consti-
tuition, and he quotes the tenth amend
ment of the Federal Constitution TO prove
it. Now any one who knows anything
about the Constitution knows the first
10 amendments are the So-called bill of
rights and are specific and direct limi-
tations on the Federal Government. They
have absolutely nothing whatever TO do
with the States. and by no stretch OF the
imagination can be considered TO either
limit or enlarge State sovereignty.
In truth. the Supreme Court decision
actually creates this So-called mo Mans
Land" probably more accurately de-
scribed as an ultra non n-regulatory gov
ernmental fourth dimension, wherein
greedy business interests and deplorsble
Sweatshop methods are permitted TO en-
slave the youth and aged of our land.
We were patient when the Supreme
Court nullif1ed the various New Deal acts,
because we knew the decisions were
predicated on the theory of States rights.
The N. r. A. was unconstitutional be-
cause it violated the right of the States
to do what the Federal Government
sought to do through the N. r. A. Now
the New York State minimum wage Law
is unconstitutional because the States
have no rights anyway. What kind of
reasoning is that? The simple answer is
that too many decisions are being predi-
Gated on what the justices think the law
ought 10 be and ignoring the rights Of
the people TO create new laws through
their duly elected representatives whether
in national or State Legislatures

Why Do Americans Tolerate
100000 Alien Criminals

To he Editor OF The Star:
Tony Palazzolino usually referred TO

native tricks we're added those acquired

Tony who said to wanderlusting Amer
lean: Don't tell The Cow too much
about American ways. She might tire
of carrying our water from the well if
she learned about faucet at the end
of a pipe
Such water carrying is typical of the
Mediterranean's orientaliSm. p Little
progress has been made from the time
of Rebecca to that of radio. We have
accepted millions of immigrants whose
philosophy is thus Oriental. Their COM
ing hastened Americas exchanging her
racial homogeneity of. say. 1860. for the
heterogeneity following the mass imni-
grafton into America of EaSt-and South
Europeans This peaked in 1895-19l4.
Much that is disquieting in our body
polite is due to this new immigration"
Chicago crime waves are but Sicilian
Black Handism transplanted to our ur-
ban slums. A Congressman recently as
serted we have 3.500000 alien criminals.
Why not register, fingerprint them, as
the first step toward deportation?
Every nation. except ours, has moved
to lessen its crushing burden Of unem-
ployment by deporting aliens. Why
should we be taxed to carry criminals
that should be returned to the lands of
their birth? C.. M. GOETHE.

College, then the normal school. From
leadership he advanced to the post OF
principal, then to the dictatorship Of
intermediate education, to the prin-
cipalship of Central High School and
finally to the rank of assistant superin-
tendent OF the school system, twenty
two years ago.
In the course of this long and bril-
liantly successful career In educational
work DR.. Kramer manifested excep-
tional capacity both for direct instruc-
tion and for supervision and administra-
ton. He was furthermore of q tempera-
ment and was blessed with a gift for
cooperative service to make his career
exceptionally efficient. In addition, his
personality was such as to gain the
devotion OF all, students, teachers and
administrators. With broad vision, with
keen understanding Of the requirements
OF youth, with marked capacity for
winning the loyalty OF all with whom
he came in contact, Stephen Kramer
was force for the successful Develop
ment of the school system of the Capital
for many years. While poor health has
recently lessened his activities some
what, he remained to the end devoted
minister of instruction, beloved friend
of thousands Of present and past pupils
and teachers and a factor in the ad-
vancement of Washington's school sys-
tenn to its deservedly high rank among
the educational services of America. His
death causes a deep sense of bereave-
ment for the loss of good man who
has done splendid work for the Cap
ital and three generations of its young

Flight From Reality.


Through Union Station each Saturday
OF the year passes a throng of men,
women and children in flight from real
ity. OF course, they do not think or
speak OF their escape from the city in
language so indefinite. They simply say
that they are off for a week end in the
country. Most Of them, it seems, go to
visit parents or grandparents in Mary
land or Virginia. A considerable num-
Der, however, journey to more remote
objectives.
And observers have noticed that their
manner, their conduct, the routine of
their procedure, is OF a type. They
follow fashion, are faithful to a pat
tern Of action. Perhaps a professional
psychologist might explain it in the
terminology OF science. Amateurs merely
see that they are much alike, behave in
much the same mode. For example, they
hurry more than is necessary. Like an
army in haste TO reach the battle front
they charge down the platforms in a
rush. But once inside the cars and
assured of seats. they relax with a
sigh distinctly audible and comfortable.
The struggle of getting away is over
Pulses gradually beat slower, the fever
OF exertion fades. In effect, at that
moment the effort achieves its victory;
the flight is a SlcceSs
Late Sunday night the tide flows back
again. The crowds are tired. Prospect
of rest prompts a final squirt to bed.
But inarticulate spirits have been re-
newed. The multitude has fortified itself
for another week of toll. And the by
standing philosopher smiles at the
knowledge Of the principle involved. The
great cities of the earth, he realizes, have
been built and are maintained from the
distant hills and plains, the quiet farms
and the tiny villages of the hinterland.
Every stone of them and every soul in
them originated under the open sky.
Hence the reality TO which humanity
flies is the real reality upon which Wash
ington and every other urban community
of the planet depends. The escape is
from the lesser to the greater truth. And
the instinct which suggests it is one Of
the basic verities OF life-the longing Of
millions for their natural home.

The Quest.

The Quest.
man once longed for peace complete
He sought the ocean strand.
Where waves come singing soft and
sweet
To the untrodden sand.
But soon they built a little town.
Where bands began to play:
And then tidal wave came down
And washed EN- all away.
He sought the wooded mountain height,
To shun the crowd below
A big hotel soon met his sight
With artificial show:
And next an earthquake shook the place
Until the mountain fell.
The devastation left no trace
OF mountain or hotel.
Out there upon the level plain.
Where far his gaze might roam.
He turned his quest of peace again
And sought TO make a home.
But savage huntsmen round him crept
Or raised warrior shout:
And then a cyclone came and swept
The whole collection out.
And when the cyclone dropped the man,
He said, Right here I'll stay.
Here will strive as best I can
To use what comes my way.
From toll and strife I shall not fee.
Nor shirk the issue grim.
No more will seek peace" ouoth he.
And. straightaway. peace sought him.

ing OF a program on national and inter-

LandoniteS predict that the country will
promptly be made aware that the Gov
ernor has concrete ideas on cardinal
subjects and is able TO elucidate them
convincingly. Landon lacks the capacity
OF Roosevelt. a Borah or a Vandenberg
to voice his views with oratorical effec-
tiveneSS, but his friends think the coun-
try is ready to switch from charm to
common sense in political discussion and
that the Kansan will prove equal TO the
task of getting Republican doctrine
across 10 the voters in persuasive. if un-
spectacular, fashion. Anyhow, as Repub-
lican strategists size up the situation. the
people this time are going to vote
against Roosevelt, rather than for"
Landon. just as the country in 1892. they
say, rose against" Hoover, rather than
in favor of F. D. r.
