NICARAGUA HAS CALLED TRUCE
Diplomacy Used in Trouble Over Election; COm-
 promise Ends Strife

Managua, Nicaragua, June 1.-- (UP)-GovernInent and rebelling national guard forces substituted diplomacy for rifle and machine gun fire today, and sought by r1egotia- ton to settle a dispute regarding candidates in the approaching pres- idential election. After day of fighting which terrorized the city, but caused few casualties, President Juan B. Sacasa, with loyal troops in his palace on La Lonna hill, and Gen. Anastasio Somoza, command ing the besieging national guard forces, agreed last night to suspend hostilities. They promised not to re- stlme fighting or more their forces until by negotiations this morning they could seek agreement on the elections.
 Five Wounded
 It was reported on reliable author- ity that in fighting which continued for hours yesterday-and in which several bullets struck the American legation--fve men were wounded on the government side and two rebels were killed and 16 gravely wounded. The dispute which preci- pitated open fighting yesterday arises specifically from an agreement between the liberal and conservative parties to nominate as their joint candidates in the approaching elec- ton Dr. Leonardo Arguello, former minister of foreign affairs in the Sa- casa cabinet, for president and Dr. Rodolfo Espincsa as vice president. Both men are liberals, President Sa- casa, who is leader of the liberals, and Gen. Emiliano Chamorro, lead- CT of the conservatives, agreed on them. Gen. Somoza argued however that such a choice prevented a fair election and gave the people no chance to choose leader for them- selves.

ashamed to be classified as members Of

Rather. back Of it lies no less than half

twenty-five lost by storm or accident,
six destroyed by causes unknown, twenty

the allies, seven sabotaged to prevent
surrender, one decommissioned and one

The recent exploits of Mr.. Hoover

Grateful for Article
On the A. NJ. E. Church

To the Editor Of The star:
As one of the ministers Of the A. M. Z.
Church, and having been brought up in
same from infancy. want to express my
deep appreciation to you for your gener-
osity in publishing the very fine article
written by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell in
The Star of Sunday. This article, under the
caption, "The Powerful A. M. E. Church, 7"
is indeed a splendid compliment paid
to sister denomination by q member
Of the Congregationahst Church. And
your generous grant Of space is worthy
tribute to the achievements Of group
whose opportunities have always been
to a great extent circumscribed. It may
be Of interest to you to note that the
bishop who held this conference at
Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, the Right
Rev. Monroe H. Davis, A. NJ, D. D. came
from the backwoods Of South Carolina
and in forty-five brief years had won
his way to the bishopric Of this great
church. The Baltimore Annual Con-
ference, which has held its annual ses-
sions for 119 years, is grateful to you.

newest and largest dirigible, sails over
washington thousands of people watch
ing the giant ship from the streets below
viii feel within their hearts that curious
throb which is the customary human
emotional reaction to things marvellous.
Every life, however ordinarily dull or
commonplace, has few such moments
Of climateric excitement. All great art,
a1l literature, all music serve but to show
that the rhythm Of life rises on distinc-
tive occasion to colorful heights Of pas
sion. The causes and motives are va
rious, peculiar to the individuals, the
time and the circumstances involved.
Yet the quickened beat Of the pulse, 1t
seems, is invariably the same. Psycho-
logically the races differ; In their re-
sponse to grand compulsion they are
alike-because humanity is spiritually of
one single type, possesses one single uni
Sersal soul.

ferred to shoot it out with G-men.
Immediately there was q rapid turnover
In public enemy titles, for gangsters

to take care Of themselves in q gun

As Dillinger and Nelson and Floyd and

knowledge that G-man running wild
is not something to be laughed Of.
Proof of that realization is had in the

FavOrs Sunset Concerts
By National Symphony
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Eoltor OF The star:
note with much chagrin the proposal
that the sunset Water Gate concerts be
given by an organization other than the
National Symphony Orchestra, especially
so as the proponent Of the idea is .
man who is not prominently connected
with any orchestra except theater or
chestra. Is it possible that the people
of Washington want the same sort of
entertainment sponsored by Maj. Bowes,
as good as that entertainment may be, at
our beautiful Water Gate site this
Summer?
trust that nothing interferes In the
presenting of another series Of sunset
concerts by the National Symphony Or
chestra in the lovely surroundings at
the Water Gate. These concerts last
Summer were above criticism, artistically,
and unless concerts Of equal quality can
be given there believe that no other
form of entertainment should be per-
mitted by Government authorities.

A Plea for Preservation
OF Native WildhOwers

I have noticed In the daily press IN
announcement Of the annual flower show
at the George Washington University,
and comments thereon, and wish 70
say that Of all the exhibits 80 far held
this was certainly the most exquisite
one. Yet as exquisite ~ this exhibit
was, It carried with 1t to the knowing
one q sense of regret, since 1t may serve
to stimulate the unaware with desire
to duplicate 1t with similar efforts In
their own home or their own yard.
Having been president OF the wash
ington Chapter Of the Wildflower Preser-
vation Society for many years, I am
aware of the efforts of this organization
to stem ruthless destruction Of our
verge of extinction, and plead to all
who might be stimulated in duplicating
1t will mean failure, and failure may
mean a loss to the community.
For the past 40 years I have played

ton of the soil. A slight deviation from
the normal requirements Is usually SUI
ficient to wipe out the plant in question.
Not only that, but many Of our plants
have associated with them microrhysal

one has called them-whose physiolog-

absolutely essential to the plants with
which they are associated, and unless
that association is perfect the plant In

A study Of the soil, ETC., requirements
of our native plants opens up q field
which will prove enticing to the person
whose basic training Is sufficient to
understand the problems involved. To
the layman not equipped with this
knowledge, wish to say. "Don't!"
The Wildflower Preservation Society
has been able, through its strenuous edu-
cational campaigns and through legisla-
tive methods, to lend hand to our dog
woods, redbuds, holly and lesser folks
so that we may continue to enjoy them
in our midst without destroying them.
wish it were possible TO instill in all
minds the Joy that comes in placing ones
arms or cupping his hands about q
fragrant flower and burying his face in
it, and thus satisfying his senses by the
fragrance of the plant in question. and
then leaving it for some one else to en-
brace and enjoy.
