there is bare chance-and 1t is nothing
more than a bare chance at best-the
Navy is overlooking nothing that might
be done, and that is a. 1t should be.
The stout little Coast Guard cutter,
the Itasca, already short Of fuel, scours
the sea in a ceaseless effort to get over
and beyond 4 taunting horizon that
hides the lost plane. From naval bases
at San Pedro and Honolulu battleships,
plane carriers and their escorts of
destroyers, with seaplanes streining at
the leash, are hurrying to join the

engines racing under forced draught-

Soviet Church Purge.

Hltlers crusade against the churches
seems to have inspired his fellow
dictator, Stain, also to make war on
them as enemies of the state" The
Soviet Union is now the scene of wide
spread drive against all the principal
talths-Protestant, Catholic and Rus
sian Orthodox alike. In a sweeping in
dictment the churches are pilloried As
partners in an unholy alliance with fas-
clsm and capitalism, which masks spies
and Wreckers in clerical garb" Many of
these alleged miscreants were recently
'llqWdated," the euphemism commonly
employed in Germany and Russia to
describe the fate meted out by guillotines
and firing squads. In one of those
broad, proo1ess claims which emanate
from the Kremlin on periodical purge
occasions men Of the cloth are accused
OF completely in "spy plots" for Ger
many. Japan, Poland and Estonia and of
having been active in both the Far East
and Europe From Khabarovsk, scene
OF last weeks Russo-Japanese clash on
the Amur, it is reported that l3l execu-
tlons, including those of several con-
demned ministers of the gospel, have
recently taken place. Another oficial
announcement proclaims that "the world
clergy is trying to stretch its paws over
the U. S. S. r., and maintains institu-
tions for training preachers to be sent
to Russia" One particularly weird allie
cation states that the Polish and Japa-
nese intelligence services have used
Catholic priests to form groups for the
purpose of Gripping military railways
on the outbreak of war "Baptists from
the United States" are said to have
operated" in White Russia in 1929.
Fevered charges of this caliber closely
resemble those leveled against the civil
ian and military personages who we're
lately the objects of treason prosecutions,
especially the eight prominent generals
secretly tried, convicted and executed in
June. The accusations of which the
churches are now targets are significant
from several standpoints. They are
fresh evidence of the panic and alarm
which fill the Red dictatorship They
constitute one more confession that the
Soviet Union is honeycombed with
terror and revolt and that Stalinism is
coming to be house resting on founda-
tions of sand. The newest purge goes
far to support the belief that COM
munism is synonymous with Godlessness
and to prove that Moscow adheres to
the doctrine that religion is opium for
the people"

God Speed the Search.

Nothing could equal in its high dra-
matte qualities the search for Amelia
Earhart and her navigator. A Nation
watches its progress with the breath
less intensity Of high hope; hope that
springs from real affection and admira-
ton, but which, for the moment, hangs
by nothing more tangible than the sound
Of faint voices in the air.
Are the voices those of Miss Earhart
and of her navigator, or merely frag-
ments of the unintelligible jargon OF
some errant waves that fill the ether?
Is she alive, floating somewhere on the
lmitless expanse of the broad Pacific
In plane kept above the surface by
empty gas tanks? Is her plane stranded
somewhere on tiny reef. hanging there
at the mercy of tides and winds? Or, is
all this great search in vain?
The Navy is putting into action the
devout wishes that the whole country
feels for the rescue and the safe return

Christmas Trees.

In supposed refutation of Q recently
uttered congressional charge that he
uses his losses on his farm near Hyde
Park as deduction on his income tax,
President Roosevelt has conducted 4
tour OF his estate in company with a
large squad Of reporters to demonstrate
that he is not really a farmer, but
forester. He has four tenants who do
a little farming on their own account,
but he uses his land exclusively himself
for the growth of timber. Two kinds
OF timber crops are grown on the $50
acres-not 1000 as frequently stated in
mlstake-nrst continuous timber
growth which is sold for flrewood, with
some larches. oaks and black walnuts,
which are carefully cut and sold for
posts. The other crop consists OF Christ
mas trees, Of which there are now some
$4,000. The first of these trees we're cut
last year and were sent to market.
Here, then, is the real fact about the
Presidents farming. He is a Christmas
tree grower and not an agriculturist.
And this is quite In order and in keeping
with the present and the Immediately
prospective trend Of his administration.
Christmas trees represent gifts. AS yet
uncounted numbers Of people-for there
has never been an accurate census of
the unemployed, or the employed, for
that matter-are receiving Christmas
gifts from the generous hand of
the Chief Executive, through various
agencies of Government. There is, of
course, no dole, in the European sense
OF the word, but there are bounties,
nevertheless, in the form OF jobs that
mean little or nothing in the economic
equation save the distribution of wealth
supplied by the taxpayers and some
times pastimes that are styled jobs.
1t is really of relatively small moment
whether the President makes money on
his estate at Hyde Park. Nor is it of
moment what he does with his crops,
whether they are foodstuf1s or trees.
But 1t is nevertheless interesting and
perhaps significant that he is a large
and increasing contributor to the Christ
mas tree market.

Interesting Ancestry of
Archbishop Sapieha
70 the Editor OF The Star:

40 the EDITOR OF The Star:
Prince Archbishop Sapiecha of Cracow,
Poland. has apparently stirred up quite
a commotion in that country. So a Star
editorial has it. The transfer of the
remains OF Marshal Pilsudski from the
crypt Of the cathedral to another place
at his orders-is the cause. The Sapie-
mas, by the way. are most ancient and
lllustrlous house. Descending from
Gedimin, grand duke of Lthuania, the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Over in England they do some things
much better than we manage them in
this country.
Dog training, for instance.
1t is said that a barking dog on the
streets Of London Is so unusual that
people turn around to look at 1t.
Barking is bad form, that is all.
Even their pets must observe the
proprieties.
1t is needless to say that British dogs
are just the same dogs as are found
elsewhere; what Is different Is their
training.
Your First Dog" is an English book,
just reprinted in this country which
aims to tell children how to take care
Of pets.
Many an elder might read 1t with
profit, too, for it does not appear that
most people, no matter how we'll bred
or kindly in intention. have any real
idea OF the care of dogs or cats, the
most popular pet animals.
On this subject we received a letter
the other day from a Washingtonian
who believes that something should be
done about it.. He says
Dear Sir: You can help if you will,
and I'm sure you will, as know from
being constant reader of your articles
Please, won't you help bring to the
attention of people the helplessness of
so-called pets and the cruelty they have
to endure through Indifference. both
on the part of grown-ups who don't
have sense enough to realize these
creatures have feelings the same as we
HN nr tn
humane ideas to their children.
80 many people let their little chill
dren have pets and don't see, or care
how much they mistreat them. And
consider the difference in size, how can
they defend themselves? If one should
pick up courage to speak to the parents
they would more than likely be very
huffy about it. To bring it to the
attention Of the humane society they
want you to swear out a warrant, and
that means trouble with neighbors. The
worst of it, the majority of cases we
have noticed, are with people who con-
slider themselves highly educated.
yesterday I stopped to try to reason
with a small boy who was mistreating
kitten shamefully. He only laughed
and said he was learning it to swim
tried to tell him how it would hurt if
some one treated him that way and
pulled his legs like that, but it made no
impression on him. He is four or five
years old, probably too young to realize
much, but little ones should be taught
how to treat a pet or not be allowed to
have them until they are capable OF
decent care.
There is also the neglect of the ami
mails by folks who go away sto enjoy
themselves, not caring whether the pet
has food or water, whether it runs the
streets to get hurt, or maybe is tied up
to tangle itself up to distraction, and
through hunger or loneliness howls all
evening to its own misery and the worry
OF the neighborhood.
Maybe repeated drives through pic
lures or articles might bring it to the
attention OF some of these people who
are SO callous. The old lesson OF DO
unto others as you would be done by
should be applied to animals as we'll as
TO our fellow man. These are not Just
my opinions or observations. You can
see similar cases all over the city Re-

Urges Worship of Tax
Paying Descendants
To the Editor Of The star;


Senator Robinson recently said he
couldn't laugh" at thirty-six billion
dollars-Americas deepest plunge into
the sea Of debt.
Thinking Of this sum Of money stag
gered me so that at first looked back
ward and thought OF the ancestor
worsh1ping Chinese, who believe in do
ing as their ancestors did
But I'm looking forward now It is
high time for us to reverse this Chinese
belief and announce to the world a new
relig1on-decendant worship; we believe
In doing as our descendants will do. And
as we know they will pay the greater
part OF this debt we should show that
we can practice what we preach by
beginning at once to pay our share,
which is all of it, for we made it.
we Westerners reject ancestor wor-
ship. We believe it sufficient to honor"
our parents according to the fifth COM
mandment-the only promissory one of
them all. 1t promises longevity for
obedience.
I've often wondered why there is a
commandment to honor our parents
but nothing as to what should be our
attitude toward our children. The
Mormans say that neither the Bible nor
their own Book of Norman is Gods final
and complete word; there will be other
revelations in the future. And there
certainly ought to be! If Christ or
Moses or any chosen man of God we're
here today watching us impose such a
staggering, debt onto future generations
a new and penalizing commandment
would be given us at once. 1t would
read. probably. like this:
"Enslave not they children nor thv
grandchildren with thine obligations,
else thy days be short upon the land
which the devil hath net given thee"

1t is believed that few if any of the
81 nominees ever before earned as much
as $4,000 per annum and could not pos
sibly find employment at such salary
outside of the Social Security Board.
No wonder that the Senate Appropria-

would agree to the Senate amendment.
