September 29-'Go and
See Period Planned.

members on September 90 at the May
flower Hotel

Mrs. Dwight F. Davis. chairman. at
the final spring meeting at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Cafritz, 230l
FoXhall road
Also included in the fall plans are a
"go-and-See" period, from October IT
to November 4, during which efforts
will be made to get people to visit the
various Chest agencies and an exhi-
bition hall for agencies which function
only in Offices.
Formation of motor corps for use

sidered.

were Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Washington
Housing Association; Charles M.
Fyfe, managing director of the Boys

l.. Willett, jr., director of the Com
munity Chest.
Mrs Hoffman said there is a
superfiuity of higher priced housing
units in Washington, but woefully
inadequate number within the reach
OF the middle class. The problem
of getting homes for people able to
pay only S25 month or less is prac-
hcally insoluble, she said

camping and told the group Chest
agencies had cared for about 5000
children in this field last year.
Mr.. Willett showed the cooper
alton between public and private

ForesfviIIe Protests
To Commission on
Airport Proposal
Threut to Residential
Atmosphere Of Area
Cited at Hearing

More than 100 residents of Forest
vile, Nd, last night voiced opposi-
ton to the establishment of an air
port on the James E. Fee property
within the town limits.
Appearing at hearing before the
State Aviation Commission, citizens
of the town, county and school OFF,
cials, clergymen and businessmen
voted unanimously to oppose the
airport which the National Institute
of Aeronautics, Washington con-
Germ, proposed to establish.
Led by Roland L. Sansburg as
chairman, the residents told the
commission that such a venture
would greatly retard residential de-
velopment. The commission asked
how many in the audience were
opposed to the airport, every hand
was raised.
Board Protest Added.
The official protest Of the Prince
Georges County Board was added by
Commissioners Joseph H. Blandford
and James Berry, who were dele
gated to represent the County Board.
Those who spoke in favor of the
airport included Paul L. Fickinger,
president of the National Institute
of Aeronautics; James Erdman, q
member of the aeronautics firm, and
Mr.. Fee.
After the hearing, Chairman DR..
Hugh H. Young announced for the
commission that no decision would
be made until both sides had been
given an opportunity to furnish fur
ther data. Other members of the
commission at the hearing included
1t. Comdr. E. P. Moore. Edgar Allen
Poe, jr., counsel, and Maj. Charles
A. Mason, secretary.
Superintendent of Schools Mich
olas Orem told the commission that
establishment of the airport at
Forestville would be a serious detri-
ment to education Of children. since
planes would be compelled to fly
over the school. He pointed out
that the school enrolment in Forest
vile has grown from go pupils three
years ago to more than 300 now.
Pastors Join Protest.
1t was pointed out by several
speakers that the proposed field is
adjacent to churches. The Rev. T.
B. Ehlers, pastor of the Methodist
Church, and the Rev. James I.
Valiant, pastor Of the Episcopal
Church, spoke against the proposed
airport. They said it would be
greatly detrimental to worship" in
their churches.
No indication was given by Mr..
Young as to when a decision would
be rendered by the commission. He
said hackers of the venture would
be required to furnish the COM
mission with full details as to cost
Of preparing the field and making
it suitable for operation on a safe
basis. He expressed the hope that
another site will be found where
there will be no opposition before
this board has to decide this ques-t
ton"

ZOning Procedure.

The Districts modernized zoning plan
will be placed into full operation soon,
with Board Of Zoning Adjustment act
ing on appeals for exceptions or vari-
ances from the necessarily rigid rules of
the general regulations and property
classifications. Eventually, their de-
cisions will affect property values run
ming into great sums.
Currently, there is debate over details
of new regulations to govern the powers,
duties and procedure of the new agency,
subject to the limits Of the new law. A
number of important changes have been
urged by spokesmen for citizens asso-
Citations, who are concerned primarily
with protection Of home owners.
One suggestion is for a rule which
would ban a rehearing OF q case, once
denied, until after the lapse Of five years.
1t is argued that property owners should
not be compelled to fight case year
after year. On the other hand, some
District lawyers question whether such
rule might not cause undue hardship
q thing the zoning law amendment was
intended to prevent.
Another suggestion is that the adjust

Believes Hatred to Be
The Cause of Wars.


OUR rector warned us this Sunday
against the campaign OF hate against
Germany. Hate by law which we take
little heed of always brings evil to the
hater. Perhaps it is the hate that we
have poured out all these years against
have-not nations, who in Gods sight
have as much right as we to the earths
bounty, that has brought these years of
depression and want upon us, and frus-
trated all our efforts at peace. Our sell
fish policies drove those nations to where
they were compelled to act as they have
done, to right the wrongs that we would
not. The sin is ours.
We never raised our voices against the
arming of rich and powerful states
against weak and Impoverished Ger
during those dreadful years succeeding
the war. Germany was to be a slave
nation always in order that her enemies,
including us, might grow rich and pros
porous on her share Of the worlds good
things. Mercifully we have been spared
another war, and France and England
have undone the evil they did when they
set up Czech state to still more weaken,
vex and distress the German people.
Let us stop preaching hate and share
with the have-not nations those things
with which God has blessed us, or else
it may be He will cause us to founder
into more economic distress and perhaps
a war that will bring a more terrible
sequence than the last.

Italy and Spain.

In restless pursuit Of his post-Munich
lister Chamberlain appears to have paved
the way to long-sought effectuation of
the Anglo-Italian pact. Britain made
its validity conditional upon withdrawal
of italian military forces from Spain,
calculating that if all foreign troops
were removed, and the civil war-and
Spain-handed back to the Spaniards,
the road to European appeasement
would be far more open than it was while
Italians, Germans, Russians, French
men, Britons, and even Americans, were
fighting in a campaign OF no direct con-
Germ to them or their respective coun-
tries.
A communique from General Franco
now announces the release of Italian
troops having more than eighteen
months service with the Insurgents. The
number is estimated at 10000, which is
vartously stated to be between a quar-
ter and an eighth Of the aggregate con-
tingent of Black Shirt volunteers" put
at Frances disposal by Mussolini How
ever insubstantial the total, it may meet
the terms which Chamberlain laid down
as essential to implementation of the
Eastern Anglo Italian agreement.
Should the Italians evacuate Spain to
an extent that would not shrink the
movement to the dimensions OF a mere
token or gesture, the Prime Minister
will have achieved something with which
the futile London Non Intervention
Committee fumbled for two years. But
before any hats are thrown up over the
Franco announcement, it will be well to
await disclosure whether it calls for
withdrawal of Italian technicians and
aviators and especially whether it covers
italian munitions.
II Duce, shrewd bargainer that he is,
is not, of course, giving something for
nothing. The only known quid pro quo
he gets for bringing home an unspeci-
fed number of his legionnaires is that
Britain, together with France, is ready
to grant formal recognition of Italy's
conquest OF Ethiopia. But it is highly
questionable whether this is all Mus
solini obtained from Chamberlain at
Munich, where the Spanish Ethiopian
deal is supposed to have been made.
When he was Hitler's guest in Berlin
last fall, the italian dictator thundered
to throng of cheering Germans: 'The
Europe Of tomorrow will be Fascist" 1t
would seem improbable, after the ex-
penditure Of so much life and treasure in
the attempt to establish Fascist Spain
that Mussolini would consent to pull out
of the country, horse, foot and dragon,
without some tangible prospect Of In
surgent ascendancy in the peninsula.
Loyalist resistance has visibly strength
ened, and Frances victory continues to
be highly problematical. But it would
not be in the Munich manner for Mus
solini, who Is acclaimed in Italy as the
plumed knight Of that occasion, to quit
Spain empty-handed 20 far as Fascism's
cause there Is concerned.

It was a pleasant little spider.

It was a pleasant little spider.
Evidently its musical temperament had
led It to make its home on the lid Of the
electric phonograph.
Milk-white, and not more than one
thirty second OF an inch in diameter, it
lacked the aspects Of horror so largely
the property of ordinary spiders.
This charming fellow did not mind in
the least the periodical raising of the
phonograph lid.
Sometimes he would scurry away to the
other side as fast as he could go, but
there was no touch Of fear in his
scampering.
At other times he would throw out a
long lifeline over the edge and swing
himself out into space at a marvellous
rate for such tiny creature.
He had preference for Hawaiian rec
ords, the present vogue of the phono-
graph owner and Of the country.
Since Broadway has gone Hawaiian,
the soft strains of island melodies are to
be heard everywhere.
About quarter OF century ago this
peculiar and interesting music struck
America with real force.
There was a decline then In public
interest, hut the addicts Of the slurring
steel guitar and the little ukuleles never
lost their interest in them.
X ~
The recent revival has seen the intro
duction of ordinary dance band instru-
mentation into this unique music, with
rather sad results, at least to the way
Of thinking Of those who respect the in
tegrity Of this music.
A few guitars and few slurs and walls
do not make tune Hawaiian.
To be real Hawaiian music, the melody
must be right, the instruments must be
right, the voices must be right, and the
spirit must be right.
This is what is meant by speaking OF
the integrity Of Hawaiian music as its
real source Of strength, and the reason
for its lure.
There is certain type Of simple mel
ody which Is Hawaiian and no other type
is, and this whether 1t Is written in
common time, two-four or threefour
time.
The Instrumentation is to be COM
posed of nothing but the steel guitar,
the ukulele, and at times the tom-tom.
There may be violations Of. this rule,
but only at the hands OF some one who
knows thoroughly the soul of this music,
and who respects its integrity. Most of
the arrangements for modern orchestra
as made and played by Harry Owens fall
into this category.
The catlike, bouncing voices of real
Hawaiians are the only true voices for
this music. The natural high tenors, al
most sopranolike in quality, fit the music
perfectly. To call them catlike is a
compliment, for the voices of cats are
very high and clear. The bounce" in
the typically Hawaiian music is unique
contribution, somewhat resembling the

States Workers and Farmers
PAY New Deal Debts.


To the Editor of The Star:
pEOPLE who support the so-called
New Deal are like a one-eyed man.
With his left eye he sees dear old Santa
Claus in the White House handing out
presents of billions of dollars. Some Of
these dollars may fall into the hands Of
our one-eyed friend. He feels very CRATE
full. Santa Claus must be kept in the
White House.
If surgeon were to remove the cata-
ract from our friends right eye, he would
see that there amt no Santa Claus"
No one can give away that which he does
not own. 1t is easy to appear generous
when handing out other peoples money.
Those billions Of dollars being dealt out
so freely are being taken away from the
hard-working people-the industrious,
the frugal-the real producers of wealth.
With this right eye our friend can now
see that it Is the workers and farmers
who are obliged to turn over their hard
earned billions to the Federal Govern
ment. The enormous taxes paid by the
railroads and corporations is money
taken away from the workers, indirectly,
by the Government. It is like the man
who rents a house and thinks that the
owner pays the taxes; the owner merely
passes the tenants money along to the
Government.

There are other points at issue. Aside
from the details, however, 1t appears that
the value of the revamped zoning code
will depend. to q very major degree, on
the wisdom, good judgment and broad
vision Of the five members of the ad-
justment board. If it is too free in
granting exceptions, the general zoning
plan will suffer; II 1t is too unsympathetic
to the hardships placed on the individual
property owner by neighborhood
zoning plan, the value Of the adjustment
system will dwindle.
Fortunately, the men who have been
appointed all are familiar with the Dis
trict's zoning problems, have high pro-
fessional standing, and are men Of un-
questioned integrity. They should be
accorded the respect and confidence
that is merited by their heavy RESPONSE

Anti.Aircraft Defense.

Down among the pine scrub and sand
hills of Central North Carolina the prob
ing rays of giant searchlights in moon
lit sky and the bark of camoufaged anti
aircraft guns swung by robot "ears" are
defining the shape of things to come In
American national defense.
Recent developments in Europe have
brought home to the peoples Of the world
the grim fact that in case Of another
major war no one will be safe. Women,
children, the ill and the aged have been
the victims of destruction rained from
the skies. Warfare has gone beyond
the range Of guns. The airplane has
brought war home to everybody.
These facts are cause for stark terror
in Europe. It is safe to say that fear of
aerial bombardment has been one Of the
vital factors in the success of all of the
peace movements in Europe. The hor-
rors Of aerial bombardment are closer to
the peoples of Europe than to Americans.
With airplane ranges increasing to far
beyond ocean spans and with aircraft
carriers increasing in numbers and effec-
tiveness, however, American isolation de-
creases and the devising of defenses
against air attack becomes of greater
moment. In an insecure world which
has not yet written the law of the jungle
on its international code, the possible
operation Of enemy airplanes from car
riers or island land bases is too vital a
threat to be ignored.

An Expensive Crop.

The Governments various efforts in
the control and price-hxing OF crops
have all failed dismally, with one impor-
tant exception. There is one crop whose
price has skyrocketed. 1t can be grown
with little or no trouble, and is worth
hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars
a ton. There is big demand for it, and
the price is high solely and entirely be-
cause of the Governments efforts.
Yes, there's a catch in it. This plant
Is marijuana, from which REFER ciga-
rettes are made. and whatever price per
pound the grower may get for it is more
than Offset by the number of months in
the penitentiary that go with each
pound. 1t will be Federal penitentiary,
too, and it won't matter in the slightest
In what particular State this crop is
grown, since Uncle Sam is really out to
stop it and no fooling. Most commonly
1t is grown within the limits of large
cities, in back yards and even in vacant

ouflaging crops, such as corn or sunfiow-
ers, but, often enough, the seed is broad
cast by itself SO that it comes up irregu-
larly, and thus gives the impression Of
an untidy yard fun of weeds. This was
the case in Baltimore last month, and 1t
was discovered only because some OBJ
server knew what to look for.
It might be surprising but it is far
from impossible, that some of these
plants are growing right now in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Any citizen who is
able to spot this crop and report 1t
should get extreme satisfaction out of
deed well done. A description of the
plant might help. If you see group OF
tall weeds bearing leaves in punches Of
five, take a closer look. If these leaves
are lens-shaped, and are toothed along
the edges, you have enough evidence to
make report. A policeman who knows
marijuana will be sent out to investigate,
and If you are wrong. no harm will be
done; but if you are right, your efforts
may save one or more from the horror
of addition to REFERS, and from resulting
lives Of crime.
