WOODROW WILSON NINE IA VORED OVER CEN,
TednnsEngdge
At Central
Stadium
BY GARRETT WATERS

woodrow Wilson and Contra
make their second appearances
in the interhigh baseball series
today, meeting at the Central
Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
Both teams Jared unsuccess
fully in their debuts last week
The Presidents lost to Tech in
a II to 10 ten inning game on
Tuesday while the Mt. Pleasant,
ers dropped a 10 to 2 one-sidel
to Western on Friday.
Woodrow Wilson is the favor
tie in today's clash. The reason
is Kilmer Bortz, young right
handler. Bortz had the Techmen
eating out of his hand for eight
innings last week, but weakened
in the ninth.
He might have squeezed
through at that. but after Tech
had scored four runs off his
Slants, Coach Carl Heintel
elected to put in a relief hurler.
Win Off Garland
Tech went on to win against
Bill Garland, the rescue man,
by tying the score in the ninth
and pushing over the decisive
marker in the tenth.
Bortz should have less trouble
against Central. He still has his
"strikeout ball" at his beck and
call and with Central less pow.
erful than in other years, should
turn in a good effort.
Central is expected to use Bill
Noonan, the best Of a quartet
Of pitchers on the roster. The
remainder of the lineup will in
clude the familiar faces of Ber-
ME Askin, behind the bat, Joe
Feuz, in center field, and Bill
Mallos, at third.
Todays game will give fans
their chance to look over a pair
of steady catchers. Centra's
man." as mentioned, is Bernie
Askin, Woodrow Wilson'S is Buck
Barbee.
Handle Pitchers Well
Both handle their pitchers
nicely and are fair hitters, al.
though Barbee was stopped cold
by Tommy Donis, Of Tech. last
week.
The presence Of Askin, Incl.
dentally, is another case Of
catching strength for Central.
The Mt. Pleasanters always have
been well fortified behind the
bat. This goes back several
years and the list includes Bud
Cooke, Cliff Keyser, Don Dun
lap and now Askin. The latter
probably is the least talented Of
the entire group, but he's steady
and developing into a power hit
ter.
All Of which might help ma
terially for Central before the
curtain is rung down on the
series, meaning that Askin might
be able to work Coach Rays
quartet Of inexperienced hurlers
into winning fettle as the games
progress.

has He works long hours to get more food and
clothes.
This seems simple Well then just remember that in the
last analysis what the whole body of laborrs doing is
produce goods for each other we'll as for other con-
kumers. ,
By means of transportation statesmen, stores etc. the
aborers the automobile industry trade the automobiles they
helm produce for beef shoes tobacco and radios Clearly
therefore, the automobiles they make the more they may
be able to trade for other products
The automobiles they have to trade the more food
radios, etc. they get.
The big problem unemployment therefore, is to get
change for trading started active trading
Of goods for goods we will at the same time get more pro-
duction and therefore employment of labor.
Within limits, making things more abundant and cheaper
helps everybody.
2 "Why not continue to work 40 hours week and organ
ze fellow workers demand Is cents hour instead of so
cents?"
Answer-Under circumstances higher and short
hours may be justified sure, however, that they would
not tend to increase employment.
Laborers employed solely for the products they help
make Ths true if they work for themselves If
they boost the of the product less of be Sold Then
the demand for their services fall off.
For example, if aborer gets 25 cents hour that
adds $500 year the expense. If 1000 employed
that just half million dollars
As labor becomes more expensive pays to more
chnery Consumers also try find other products that
be substituted for higher priced goods.
g. Wha about the coumnst who recently criticized large
manufacturer for not realizing the increased social respon
sibiles which with employing thousands of men?"
Answer-That is all right far But goes only
half way 1t is onesded
As the employers responsibilities increase so do the respon-
sbtes of those who head the aborers organizations The
who order thousands Of laborers strike thus eng
whole industries and ces and keeping hundreds of thous
ands idle has heavy responsibility to society
Such mans by levying dues laborers to raise
large for political campaign purposes and swing
votes, increases the responsibility.

l. "How could the unemployment problem
be solved if all the millions of those now em-
ployed were to work eight hours longer per
week"
Answer-This question takes us right to
the heart of the problem. About the only
difference in employment that the time a
man works can make, is through difference
in amount of product. That is what counts.
The more man produces in the shape of
readily saleable goods the more wages he
should get.

Not a Blessing.

Are legalized gambling and a race
track the boons to community that
proponents of the local racing bill sug-
gest they are? The Star sent a staff
correspondent to Rhode Island to find
out what the people there think about
the NarraganSett track, which the pro-
moter is so anxious to duplicate in the
District of Columbia.
The articles written from Providence,
after interviewing members of the SUBJ
stantial elements in that community,
should be studied by members of Con-
gress who are willing to foist the race
track nuisance on Washington. Far from
being a boon, the race track and its &C
companying legalized gambling have in
jected into Rhode Island politics and the
social and commercial life of the State
evil influences which are anything but
desirable.
Members Of the House District Com
mittee who voted against reporting the
race track bill are planning a minority
report before the measure comes to a
vote in the House. The report certainly
should be made. 1t is not believed this
bill will pass. But no stone should be
left unturned by it's opponents to assure
its quick and decisive defeat.

Two Speeches.

Last night two speeches were sched-
uled for delivery on this continent and
large audiences assembled to hear them.
One of them was heard, but not under
stood. The other was not delivered. Disap-
pointment was felt by both assemblages.
Leon Trotzky, the fugitive Russian,
now domiciled on this continent, was
to have spoken for an hour by telephone
from his present place Of exile. the
Mexican capital. Some six thousand of
his followers gathered in the Hippo
drome, in New York City. The sched-
uled time arrived, but no words were
heard. An hour passed and still there
was no speech. Members of Trotzky's
Defense Committee sought in vain to OBJ
tain connections with his sanctuary, the
home of Diego Rivera. What had hap
pened? Nobody knew. Were the wines
intact? Or had the Russian government
made such representations to the Mexican
government that the wires had been cut
to prevent the broadcast? Nobody could
ascertain. At last a representative Of

The Fall of Malaga.

Malaga, queen city" of Andalusia and,
next to Barcelona, Spain's most impor-
tant Mediterranean port, has surren-
dered to General Frances forces attack
ing irresistibly by land, sea and air. Its
fall, after comparative lull in fighting
before Madrid and on other fronts, sug-
gestS once again that the beginning of
the end is at hand for the loyalists.
Aided by forces now liberated in the
southeast, the insurgents are expected
to renew their assault on Madrid with
augmented vigor. They are already in
position to threaten the Madrid Valencia
road. while the shattered old capital
itself is surrounded on the north, west
and south. Conquest of Malaga en-
dangers the other southern ports still
loyal to the government. If Franco con-
verts his latest prize into receiving
base for foreign aid, as Cadiz has hither-
to been utilized, the insurgents will be
immensely facilitated in the task of
seizing the whole coast, including Car
tagena. Malaga particularly permits
Franco to strengthen his communica-
tions with Morocco, original source of
the rebellion and of the forces which
launched it nearly eight months ago.
There is circumstantial evidence that
the triumphant drive against Malaga
was made possible only by overwhelming
bodies of foreign troops. Fifteen thou
sand Italians are said to have landed in
Cadiz last week, and several thousand
Germans also are reported to have re-
inforced the columns that brought about
Malaga's fall. 1t is sorry commentary
on the lip service which European gov
ernments are still rendering to the
principle of "non-intervention" that the
most signal insurgent victory scored all
Winter was due primarily, if not ex-
clusively, to aid from the Fascist powers.
Rome dispatches indeed suggest that
Malaga's capture is the direct result of
the recent Mussolini- -Goering negotia-
tions, at which it was decided to urge
Franco to seek a military decision as
soon as weather conditions permitted.
Gibraltar has heard that the assault on
Malaga took place under the supervision
Of German naval staff aboard the
battleship Admiral Graf Spec.
Loss of the famous Andalusian port
ccincides with internal turmoil at Ma
drid. The government is about to hale
before the newly organized Peoples
Political Court group of Trotzkyite
Communists known as the Marxist
Workers Union. Their activities have
sown admitted dissension in loyalist
ranks. The authorities are anxious to
prevent its spread to Barcelona, a hot
bed of radical agitation. Thus, at the
very moment of decisive military Sue
cess, Franco derives additional advan-
tage from breach in the governments
home front. The combined incidents
may well spell the doom of the loyalists'
efforts to maintain their tottering cause.
With the outside help which Franco still
seems able to command, it does not look
as if the Madrid Valencia regime can

so-called primitive society we have gov
ernment by the well-instructed."
And such control has practical value
on occasion. DR.. Porteus tells in detail
of the ordeal of journey through the
desert. A single paragraph will suffice
for quotation: Next morning there was
an enforced halt. Even aboriginal human
nature rebelled against another day of
travel and starvation. It was food or
death. Some of the young men would
have given up then and there and lain
down and died, but the resolution of the
old men prevailed, and the habit of
obedience was so strong that when the
order was given every man, woman and
child scattered over the hillsides to
forage for his life and the life Of the
tribe" Water, too. was found by the
elders. In the end the expedition
reached its goal without loss of life.
A native Australian probably would
be puzzled to account for the current
American revolt against maturity.
Civilized society. he would suppose,
would have better sense than to deny
itself the fruits of experience personihed
in such a body as the Supreme Court.
But the poor benighted "black boy"
would be philosophical in the circum-
stances. 1t would be characteristic of
him to suggest that wilful nations must
submit to the penalty of learning by
suffering. Easier paths to wisdom are
reserved for societies less proud and vain.

The Elders.

While America discusses the alleged
uselessness of men no longer conspicu-
ously young, it may be of interest to a
thoughtful minority to consider the part
which old men have played in the more
remote chapters Of human history. A
glance at the reports Of latter-day in
vestigators in the Antipodes perhaps
may be helpful.
For example, DR.. w. j. Sollas of OK
ford University in his Ancient Hunters
and Their Modern Representative"
writes: "Our first impression on COM
mencing the study of these primitive
people is that of surprise at the extraor-
dinary extent to which their life is
governed by rule. Law and order are
secured by custom and enforced as
strictly as in some civilized lands. A
moral code, different no doubt in many
respects from our own, is universally
recognized; its infringement is attended
by public reprobation and often punished
with extreme severity"
DR.. Stanley D. Porteus of the Uni
versity of Hawaii explains the back
ground from which DR.. Sollas draws his
conclusions. In his Psychology of a
Primitive People" he says: 'The Aus
tralian aborigine must turn to the
old men for enlightenment. The old men
are the wise ones, those versed in knowl-
edge of the beginnings of things
1t is the old men who by virtue of this
Importance as the custodians of the
tribal lore gain prestige and become the

Despite overwhelming Roosevelt

there's surprisingly widespread belief
that the President is by no means as

One of F. D. RS most valiant Demo-
cratic Senate supporters, an outstanding
and militant figure in advocacy OF pro-
gressive reforms, expresses the positive
conviction that the White House pro-

The tone of the statesman in question
suggests that the Senate will insist upon
detaching the Supreme Court section Of

vocated for othe- branches Of the judici-

New Building Program.

Inc PRESIDENT is looking not only TO
the future but to the pressing needs Of
the immediate present in appointing a
committee to make a detailed study of
the building space needs of the Govern
ment, such study to form the basis for
a new construction program. The fact
that Senator Thomas of Oklahoma and
Representative Collins of Mississippi,
chairmen of the subcommittee on Dis
trict appropriations, are named members
OF the Presidents committee suggests
that District building needs may be in
cluded in the survey along with those
which are more distinctly national. If
that is true, the Presidents action is all
the more gratifying.
Demands of the National Government
for adequate housing, not only for the
emergency and independent agencies
but for the regular departments, have
Increased enormously in the past few
years. The rental bill now for Office
space is already substantial, amounting
to about S2,500,000 year. Even more
important, however, are the inconven-
fence and ineficiency resulting from
lack of adequate Office space and the
fact that the employees of some agencies,
who should be under single roof, are
scattered all over town. The plea of
the Social Security Commission for a
t11i1SiYrr Nf nr,lv this
week, illustrates the need of merely one
agency.
While the great Avenue Triangle" de-
velopment was projected few years ago
as calculated to take care of the hous-
ing needs of the Government for some
time to come, that development is prac-
tically complete. But today there are
about q, ,343 Federal workers housed in
more than $500, 900 square feet of rented
space in washington. Nearly one-fourth
OF the Government workers in Washing
ton, in other words, are in rented
quarters.
The Presidents committee will be able
to supply the latest facts and figures
regarding inadequate Government hous-
ing, with a program for meeting present
and future needs. In the meantime,
the Commission of Fine Arts in it's cur
rent annual report, suggests the loca-
ton of the next building development as
lying along Pennsylvania avenue west of
the White House. "The executive group."
the report said, with the White House
as its focus, has been developed toward
the east, along Pennsylvania avenue even
to the Capitol Grounds. The develop
ment around Lafayette Square is only
begun, and between the White House
and Rock Greek Parkway, Pennsylvania
avenue is degenerating as the eastern
section of that avenue degenerated until
the Government entered upon the Tri-
angle development"
