Adequate Enforcement
Agency Is Traffic Need
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
No appreciable reduction can be made
in the number of automobile traffic acci-
dents occurring In the District until
Congress comes to the realization that
what is needed is additional appropria-
tions to provide more adequate traffic
enforcement agency here. Major Brown
should have at least 100 more policemen
in the Metropolitan Police Department,
to be used in foot or mobile traffic duty.
The appearance of uniformed police
men, especially on motor cycles, is
preventive measure against careless driv-
Ing No automobile driver will take
chance when a uniformed policeman
is aboard a motor cycle, able and ready
to give chase.
Once Major Brown secures additional
traffic police he should teach all men
chosen for traffic work that the pedes-
trians must be protected when they have
the right of way at all crossings.
Under present District traffic regula-
tions regarding turns on red stop lights,
pedestrians have little or no chance
to reach walks in safety. Careful drivers,
who as a rule are in the majority, do
give the pedestrian time to walk across
a street; others who are in the minority
blow their horns, step on the gas and
narrowly miss running persons down
Just because the pedestrian doesn't jump
or run fast enough to get out of the
way
There's another angle to this local
traffic situation, and one which it is
hoped Major Brown Traffic Director
Van Duzer ct al. will correct. 1t is the
traffic policeman's present attitude
toward careful pedestrians-that little

NepOtism in Federal and
District Governments
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me space to express my opposi-
ton to the practice now in vogue relative
to the employment of husbands and wives
and relatives in the various branches
of both the Federal and District Gov
ernments. It's an unfair, unjust and
1nequitable condition that now exists.
I think a great many OF such en-
ployes as mentioned above should be
separated from the Government Such
practice as related above certainly works
a hardship and injustice. In fact, I
think it is responsible for the vast
amount of unemployment and idleness.
I would suggest that Congress pass
legislation prohibiting husbands and
wives to be employed under the Govern
ment, Federal or District, in any capacity
whatsoever. I appeal to the Congress
now in session to pass legislation that
will prohibit future appointments in
such cases where husbands and wives
are at stake. A number of cases where
husbands and wives are employed, OBJ
tanning salaries in excess of five, six and
seven thousand dollars per annum exist
in the Post Office Department. Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, Police Depart
ment, Fire Department. public schools
and several other departments OF the
Federal and District Governments.

der the ground opened with the sound
OF an explosion and caused the waters
to gush forth and flood the land"
For seven months the good man sat in
his drum before he ripped q hole in the
hide with his sword and looked forth
on desolate world. HE looked to the
left and saw no grass that any horse
might eat, he looked to the right and
saw not any place where one could
plough fields. He looked up to the
mountain and found it very high, and
looked down into the valley and saw
that it was very deep. The goat called

milk and later I ate grass, but now
there is neither grass nor milk The dog
barked under the fir tree and asked for
milk. The chicken crowed and asked
for white rice, but there was none On

flies flew about everywhere"

daughter in marriage Finally he was
given as his bride a heavenly maiden
with the equally tongue twisting name

her from heaven the nine domestic
animals which ever since have served
man. She also took. surreptitiously, a
cat, which was not approved by her
celestial father Ts'o was given gold
and silver cups, horses and oxen, priests

golden ladder. When they arrived on

up 10 hearthstones in it and burned
incense before them The young couple
then prayed to heaven: Give us plenty
OF sons and daughters, give us riches,
keep us from illness, let us hear only
good tidings."
Thus the human race came into ex-
lstence. This flood story, Dr. Rock ex-
plains in his translation, appears in

Two Helpful Moves.

Movements are under way in the
Senate this year to remove an inequality
from which the District has been suf-
fsring, in comparison with the States,
In two important respects.
One is the effort Senators Walsh of
Massachusetts and Reynolds of North
Carolina are making to place Washing
ton on q parity with the smaller States
OF the Union in appointments to the
United States Naval and Military
Academies and the other is Senator
Kings proposal to include the District
in the Federal-aid highway system.
With Hawaii and Puerto Rico already
included, the District is the only po-
litical subdivision Disseminated against
in this law The Senate District Com
mittee has ordered a favorable report
on the measure and under the present
authorization of sl25,0O0,O 900 a year for
the entire country, the Districts share
would be $619 900, which the municipality
would match.
The Military and Naval Affairs Com
mittees went on record in favor of in
treasing Washington's quota Of cadets
and midshipmen after a group of local
organizations had directed attention to
the fact that ten States with smaller
populations than the District have a
much larger number of appointments to
the two academies. Washington at pres

Labor Union Responsibility
Legislation Up to Congress
To the Editor of The Star

To tn. Editor of The Star:
You had, recently, an editorial touch
ing on the matter of responsibility OF
labor unions. liked and agreed with
the thoughts expressed there.
Your editorial of March II on the same
subject is even better, and I feel that
our people would do well to give some
serious thought to just what will hap
pen if and when all labor is unionized.
We have, in Michigan alone, fair
example of the attitude of labor, and it
is generally conceded that only fair or
small percentage of the workers are
actually members of the organization
causing the tie-up Of our largest in
dustry.
A lot OF people in high places in Gov
ernment prate about giving labor a
break" and enforcing collective bar
gaining 7 wonder if these people have
any idea that there would be any bar
gaining il the unions had a majority
of the workers lined up. There would
not be- That is apparent to the most
casual observer
II the unions attain their objective
then what of the worker who does not
wish to pay tribute-will he rate any
consideration? He will not. He will
either pay an enormous initiation fee
and regular dues or he will be denied
the right to work in industry. Talk
about slavery, we haven't seen anything
yet. I should like for some of these
social minded persons to look at the
picture from this angle for just little
while.
I am told that at this time it costs
$3.50 initiation fee to become member
of a painters union here in Washing
ton If this is true, that is. of course,
merely to become a member, and nat
urally regular payment of dues must
follow For a man working intermit-
tently, even at high wages, this is a
rather heavy tax on income merely for
the privilege of working, or being told
not to work.
Labor as a whole is not and cannot
be subject to the orders of any one
industrial leader or yet any group of
industrialists, but we must believe, in
the light of recent happenings, that
labor can be and will be subservient to
the absolute rule of one labor leader.
The only thing, apparently, that can
prevent it is to have our people brought
to full realization of what is happening
to the forces of law and order in some
parts of the country today. Possibly
an aroused citizenry will bring sufficient
pressure to bear on Congress to deter
mine the responsibility of labor unions.

Music Of the Dav.

Music Of the Day.
In days of old such songs we heard
AS Listen to the Mocking Bird"
Light melodies their magic lent
To grace some tender sentiment.
And when they sought lively key
They warbled Dixie" with great glee.
Alas! Their tastes were very slow
Back in the days Of long ago.
But now such dizzy rhymes they sing
That grandma to her chair will cling
And say in accents far from bland
She hopes she does not understand!
Some day, when fashion brings once
more
The customs of those days of yore,
She may revive the simple charm
OF songs that pleased and meant no
harm
