the spot think it may continue indefi-
nitely, possibly another six months. The
war obviously can end in only one OF
three ways-by diplomatic negotiations,
by military success for Franco or by
triumph for the government. Hope for
q peaceful settlement, with neither victor
nor vanquished, is slight. Hatreds and
passions have been aroused to a degree
that compels both sides to give battle
to the bitter end. Baked by the stub
born defense of Madrid, the insurgents
cannot win without considerably greater
support in men and materials from Ger
many and Italy. The hard-pressed 10y
alist government, it equally goes without
saying, cannot expect to defeat Franco
as long as he is substantially bulwarked
by his Fascist allies in Germany, Italy
and Portugal. But If rebel reinforce
ments capable of throwing decisive
weight into the scales should now come
from those quarters, it is almost certain
that France and Great Britain would
sooner or later abandon their nom
intervention policy. Then the fat would
be in the fire.
The only alternative to prolongation
of Spain's ordeal, with attendant dan
ger of general war, would seem to be
some international arrangement whereby
Germany and Italy might be bought off,
or improvement in the governments
military position, whereby Loyalist troops
would be able to counter-attack Franco
in crushing strength. Barring either of
these contingencies, stalemate is likely
to persist until Europe come to its
senses suppresses its chickering's, rival
ries and intrigues and moves to prevent
the Spanish blaze from flaming into an
all-engulfng holocaust.

Unicameral Legislature
No Novelty i'm America

To the Editor of The Star:
have read The Star for seven years
and more because 1 have found it in
teresting and clean and believe it to
desire to be fair and accurate. Because
I feel thus I am led to protest the
article by Mr.. Mackland in the editorial
section of The Star of January 10 in
which he calls Nebraskas unicameral
Legislature Americas first body of the
sort. Apparently he never heard of the
Fact that Pennsylvania had such Legis-
lature, both as Province and as State
abandoning it in 1890; or that Vermont's
first constitution provided for Legisla-
ture of one chamber which was aban-
doned after a few years. There may
have been other instances, but 1 don't
think of them off-hand. But perhaps
Mr.. Mackland never heard of Vermont
and Pennsylvania, or maybe he doesn't
regard them as American! Or perhaps
he doesn't regard accuracy as important.
I cannot see why an article of the
sort am discussing cannot be accurate
AS matter of fact, one-chambered
Legislature isn't new at all. 1t is, like
practically all of the new devices of this
new-fangled political era. merely a re-
furnished piece of political junk SAL
vaged from the limbo of discarded trash
Uttered along humanitys road.

mission last Spring made study, re-
ported the air unhealthy and ordered
fans installed. Some Of these fans have
been installed, some Of them probably
are kept operating, but there still is .
general complaint that the passengers
sideration.
A constant rider of the Connecticut
avenue line suggests that sixty-one Of
these bus drivers be put aboard one Of
the sixty-one- passenger buses. the heat
turned on and taken for ride" fur
thermore that they be forced to wear
overcoats like the passengers. 1t is sure
bet that little more attention would be
paid to operation of the heaters after
the ride. At present the driver, without
overcoat, occupies the front seat with
an open window at his side. He is "ven-
tilated" and comfortable. The passengers
who sit beside windows adjacent to
two seats hesitate to open them because
the cold air might cause discomfort to
others. They cannot take of their over
coats, because If they had room enough
to do so there would be no place to put
them. They cannot even get up to ask
the driver to turn of the heat. They
would lose their seats If they did so.
Hence they sit and grumble, doze of to
wake up in sudden starts and get home
in bad humor.
Some time ago the utilities commission
suggested that drivers turn off the heat
in the congested area and turn it on in
the outlying sections. Some of them
follow these orders implicitly regardless
of the fact that they might hit the
suburbs with "bus full" sign and half
stif1ed passengers.
Until engineers devise some better
means of heating busses, overcoats for
drivers, putting sixty-one Of them on a
bus, with heat on full blast, for at least
one good long trip. might not be such a
bad idea after all.

VIII Use the Parks
FO. Storage of Motors ?

TO the Editor Of The Star:
I note that the original suggestion has
once more been advanced that the parks
of Washington be converted into storage
lots for automobiles. That is a noble
idea and am for it. Nothing is of any
importance in the Nations Capital ex-
cept room for my car and convenience
for myself. Washingtons quaint rural
custom of storing private cars in public
streets having been pushed to the limit
and beyond, where shall we turn next
except to the public parks?
It is nothing to me that these down.
town parks are the only breathing places
left to the multitudes. Let carless city
dwellers and workers swelter in the
Summer heat. deprived of the solace of
our few remaining park trees and the
benches under them, while take my
automobile and get out to the country.
What is it to me that pedestrians and
the poor use these oases for rest and a
glimpse Of something green? Me. mine
and my automobile. That Is all that
should be considered.
And when the parks are stuffed full
Of cars, let us take next the space oc-
cupied by the Public Library. That
space at Seventh street would occupy
many cars If properly leveled. And what
is the use OF the Lincoln Memorial?
Nearly o hundred cars could be stored
6n that site. And then the public schools.
OF what importance Is education COM
pared to automobiles?
Anyway must have public space for
my private car and let the District au-
thorities look to it:

Plenty of Garage Space
To Be Had i'm Washington

To the Editor of The Star:
have just read letter written to
the editor of The Star by Mr.. Charles
Williams about all the mo parking"
signs in Washington and note that he
said that there is no garage space in
Washington for the people to store their
cars. I myself own a garage that will
store 165 cars and the garage is empty
nearly all the time. Yet the Govern
ment gets over one thousand dollars a
year taxes for the building.
Garage storage is cheaper in Washing
ton than IN any other place in America,
but the people will never use the garages
until the city passes a law to stop this
all-night parking. If Mr.. Williams thinks
the signs of mo parking" are outrageous,
wonder what he would think if he had
to give our splendid American Govern
ment over one thousand dollars a year
in taxes for an empty garage when the
people of washington are encouraged to
use the streets for garages.
Yes, we need law for this street
abuse and pray that we shall soon
have It, DELLA DULLING.

pollen. Crossing these hybrids with
wheat, however. produces a variety of
types some of which are fully fertile to
their own pollen. while others are sterile
in varying degrees. The fully fertile
plants resemble wheat more closely than
rye. and new wheatlike plants with
Writer hardness greater than that OF
any wheat have been reported.
A beginning has been made in crossing
wheat with boat grass, several forms of
which grow wild in counties bordering
the Mediterranean. They often are
found in close proximity to wheat, but
entirely unaffected by the smutS and
ruSts which affect the latter. The ma
jority of first-generation wheat boat
grass crosses are self-sterile. When these
plants are again crossed with wheat,
however. q small percentage of seed is
produced. Further crossing with wheat
brings an increase in fertility in the re-
sulting progeny. 1t requires many years
to do this work. since ordinarily only
one generation is produced each year,
although the use OF the greenhouse may
speed up the work.
Efforts also are being made to cross
the bread and grain wheats with other
genera Of the same family-the So
called einkorn and emmer groups They
differ from domestic wheat in the num-
Der of their chromosomes and for long
time crosses were considered impossible
The other groups have little value as
grains. but have much greater resistance
than the bread wheats to rust, smut.
mildew and drought. The most success
full of the crosses is the so-called hope
wheat, which resulted from a cross be-
tween bread wheat and emmer. 1t COM
bines the qualities of bread wheat with
the rust resistance of emmer, and is
valuable foundation material for future
breeding work.

Repeal the S'Red Rider" in
The Interest of the Truth
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The red rider should be repealed at
once. There are several reasons for this.
We mention three. It is contrary to the
words OF the greatest religious teacher
who said: And ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free"
(John, $500. This means get complete
information and one will be free from
error. The rider is squarely against
this teaching. in that it inculcates ig-
norance and SO, as consequence, leads
to false ideas regarding communism.
This alone is enough to condemn the
bill.
The rider Is apt to bring about q re-
action in favor of communism. The
forbidden fruit Is usually eaten whether
in the garden of Eden or in the District
Of Columbia. Pupils will out of school,
search all the more eagerly for the for
hidden information, not always reliable
but very often erroneous. In q word, the
rider SowS the seeds Of communism. No
wonder some Communists have expressed
Joy at the good work being done for their
cause by the bill. 1t has given them a
great deal of publicity.
The rider is an insult to our public
cannot trust them to teach the truth
about communism. In character and
culture there is no finer body of men and
women in any profession. They are
abundantly competent to give the facts
about any subjects arising in the class
room.
Archbishop Curley Of Baltimore has
done most commendable work in seeing
that some 10000 pamphlets. giving the
facts of communism, have recently been
distributed in his diocese. Many OF these,
no doubt, will be for pupils in the
parochial schools Every public school
teacher and every historical text book
should give similar information Only
by so doing can we be free from the
