BY LYLA MYERS
It's, Oh, So. Little!

l wonder IL you've ever thought
What small amount could be
The difference between deep grief
And satisfying glee.
Here's my discovery-and you'll
Agree, when I present
The facts:-The difference can be
AS little as one cent.
A loved one waits for word from
you
When you are far apart.
Would you let someone suffer, when
One cent could ease that heart?
No grief compares to doubts-and
fears
For those who've gone away!
So won't you send-at least-a card
To that loved one today?

Correction as to the
MacCracken Inquiry

To the Editor OF The Star:
Correction should be made Of state
ment which appeared in your issue Of
Saturday, January %, 1887, page B-2, in
the article by Louis Selding on Mr..
Jurney. sergeant at arms Of the Senate.
The erroneous statement was that
William p. MacCracken was under in
vestigation for certain activities during
his ONCE as Assistant Secretary Of Com
merce." The fact is that that was not
the nature of the investigation, but it
was an investigation Of contracts for
the carriage Of air and ocean mail and
had to do with events which occurred
some time after Mr.. MacCracken was
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce.
Certain companies which were among
his clients after he was out Of the De-
partment Of Commerce had airmail con-
tracts and therefore were investigated
along with other companies, but it was
their dealings with the Post ONCE De-
partment which were being inquired
into and not any business which they
may have had with the Department Of
Commerce. ERRETT G. SMITH.
Evening star., 1937-01-29

Pennsylvania is State Of broad and
penetrating experience in connection
with this Nations development as q
powerful and permanent historic entity.
It has witnessed some Of the most bitter
clashes between capital and labor, and
has seen resentments which seemed at
first implacable subside to make way for
q spirit Of sane coordination. Senator
Guftey, while willing to devote his at
tention to an attack on the United
States Supreme Court, presented in
terms Of literary sensationalism, may
find that, while being inadvertently in
volved in devious methods Of promoting
a "best seller" he Is neglecting oppor-
tunities to offer sound advice, based on
immediate observation, in an industrial
crisis Of magnitude.

Auditorium Progress.

Not In many years has there been
greater interest in any project than
that which at present is everywhere
manifest for the Federal auditorium
which Secretary Of the Interior Ickes
and Senator Robinson Of Arkansas
have proposed and which President
Roosevelt has Endorsed. The experience
OF thousands of residents Of the District
Of Columbia and Of thousands Of vts-
1tors to Washington on Inauguration
day brought to a focus a sentiment
which already was widely entertained.
Now. in view Of yesterdays action by
the Senate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, 1t seems likely that
congressional approval shortly will result
in formal action. Both branches Of the
National Legislature can rest assured
that public opinion supports the plan
wholeheartedly.
But it may be hoped that progress
will be rapid. The type Of edifice wanted
will take several years to build. It
should be monumental work of archi-
tectural genius-not barnlike struc-
ture hastily tossed together. The Pres
ident privately is understood to have
expressed the wish that his administers
tion might add to the beauty of the
Capital and his desire should be borne

Approves Editorial on
Practical Memorials

To the Editor Of The Star:
I was thankful to read your good edi-
torial on Practical Memorials" How
wish it could be published over and
over until people begin to think.
Marble statues are the most useless,
least noticed and sometimes the ugliest
memorials constructed. Even artists
cannot appreciate the art value Of some
of them, for what one artist admires
another artist derides. They are merely
dust and dirt catchers and often the
streaks of dirt on them make them most
ludicrous. This city is blotted with them.
Tourists pay no attention to them, don't
even look at them-or look and forget.
The suggestion Of great auditorium
with his efhgy at the entrance as q me-
mortal to Thomas Jefferson Is not only
good philosophy but good philanthropy
1t is fitting and contains that lesser
sounding but much-needed characters
tic, common sense. It should be, as you
say, a magnificent building combined
with the element of wise utility.
Please keep urging it!

THIS AND THAT

lessly assumed nowadays by pple who
do not intend evil to others.
Every one knows some therwise

No doubt this Is the best plan.
Many poets, notably Bryant, have put
the same thought into living verse.

Yes, easier said than done, but the
person who somehow manages to have
that determination in his mind, without
much thinking. has every chance oi
achieving it.
Conscious thought on such matters
sometimes leads to q certain amount oi
self-consciousness, which unfortunately
makes others feel that the honest mar

Domestic Servants Status
Under Social Security Act

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In your issue of January II you pub
ushed letter to the editor" by Mrs.
G. e. Coates under the heading mo So
cial Security for the Two Most Needy
Glasses" The content Of the letter i'm
plies that no provision is made in the
social security act for the aged or for
domestic servants.
It Is true that two social security pro-
grams-State unemployment compensa-
ton laws and the Federal old-age bene-
flt plan-are mainly designed for indus
trial and commercial workers who
through future employment build up
credits toward out-of- work benefits when
they are involuntarily unemployed and
toward old-age retirement incomes.
But. the other eight programs for social
security are available to the entire pop
ulation of the United States. The eco
nomic problems of the needy aged, re-
gardless Of where, or how, or in what
employment they may have worked. or
whether they worked at all, forms o
major part Of these programs.
BY far the largest appropriations au-
thorized by the social security act for
1867 is for grants to States to enable
them to give monthly cash allowances
to the needy aged. In point of numbers
directly affected, those now old and in
need are the ones who have benefited
most from the social security act. A
total of over $90,000,000 has been paid
by the Federal Government since Feb
ruary II, 1886, to States with approved
plans for old-age assistance, and it Is
estimated from reports over the past 10
months that in January, 1887, $21 ,231 900
in Federal, State and local funds is being
paid to 1,132, 800 needy aged persons.
Figures such as these are clear evi-
dence that the plight of those who are
now old was not overlooked when the
social security act was drafted.
The exclusion Of domestic servants In
q private home from the Federal old
age benefits program must not be con-
sidered as the exclusion of a whole group
Of wage earners. Throughout their
working lives, workers in the United
States traditionally move from one type
of employment to another. and worker
who has spent his entire life in one occu-
patton or industry Is rarely found. Do.
mestic servants who have even brief
experience in hotels, restaurants and
other types of commercial work will re-
ceive credit from their wages from such
employment from the beginning Of 1887
to their 65th birthday. These credits
will 'be used in the computation of their
Federal old-age benefits.

the answer to the problem of child de-
linquency in Q city. But even more i'm
portant, 1t is believed. is the fact that
the friendly comradeship established be-
tween the small boy and the big police
man serves to make the one . better
citizen and the other q better servant
Of the community.
Major Brown and his associates in the
Police Department have done much to
change the traditional relationship be-
tween the suspicious "cop" on the corner
and the fruit peddler's tormenters. In
its place he is seeking to establish
friendly interest, leadership and a legal
method for the release Of the animal
spirits and normal impulses that govern
the often puzzling actions Of youngsters.
He is doing a good Job which has won
recognition and deserves support.

Urges Humanizing of
Our Industrial Conditions

To the Editor Of The Star:
The automobile strike, the President.
Mr.. Lewis, chairman of the G. I. O., and
the General Motors Corp, these give me
a clear picture of democracy" Mr.
Lewis demands support from the Chief
Executive. The General Motors Corp.
will demand from the judicial branch
protection Of its property. The workers
will demand recognition Of their union.
And, above all these demands, the reality
of truth is nothing but a class struggle
inherited thousand years back. Still
we appreciate the present form of
democracy in the States better than
some barbaric governments in Europe.
The progress of the present machine age
will create new conflicts in the social,
economic and industrial world of our
land If we are not determined to hu-
manize our economic and industrial
conditions. STAIN COLLINS.
