SECOND
ST|RS PLEA FOR
MORE POLICE
Girl, II, Victim;
Bethesda Reused
BY TED KINCAD

Aroused by the second attack
on q woman in the past three
weeks, residents Of Bethesda to-
day renewed demands for more
police protection in that section.
The latest attack occurred
shortly after II o'clock last night
on Old Georgetown Road. less
than block from Wisconsin Ave
nue.. The victim was Miss Pauline
Whitehouse, IT. Of Battery Park,
Maryland.
GRABBED BY THROAT
Miss Whitehouse was walking
home when the attacker, described
as "a huge colored man." leaped
out from the doorway Of a build
ing, grabbed her by the throat to
stifle her screams and attempted
to drag her away.
Fighting desperately, Miss
Whitehouse managed to get away
from her assailant and ran scream
ing to a nearby filling station;
while the attacker fled across a
vacant lot.
H. R. Scheiber, Of Alta Vista,
Md, called Montgomery county
police, and several scout cars sped
to the scene. Officers searched
the vicinity for sometime without
finding any trace of the attacker.

found occasion to pat both rivals
for the Democratic Senatorial

Coincident with this diplomatic
de-stepping of a torrid election

from the President in the remark
that he was a "toiling legislator"
supplanting the soldier of old in
guarding the security of the peo-
pie, and was matched with recog-
milton of White, opposing Bulkley
for the nomination.
After White had introduced the
President, offsetting at least to
some extent the Executives pat
for Bulkley, Mr.. Roosevelt de-

DOES WAGE-HOUR
LAW CUT JOBS?

One of the first visible effects of the
new wage and hour law in the United
States is a small wave of factory shut
downs turning some thousands of per-
sons at least temporarily out of work.
We say temporarily because there is
a question as TO just how genuine some
of these shut-doWns are. Even last week
Elmer F. Andrews, the Administrator.
commented in connection with such re-
ports that these suspensions of opera
tons seem to have been timed in an effort
to bring the law into disrepute" that in
some cases inventories had been built up
beforehand, or there would have been
no seasonal closings anyway, or certain
employers were miffed at not being al
lowed to get around the law by techni-
calities.
In many of these cases the people now
laid off will probably get work again
fairly soon. Plants will reopen if their
closing is merely a matter of bluff. And
in other cases it may be a net gain to
society if employers who think they have
to pay substandard and starvation wages
are replaced by ones who like to see their
workers live in reasonable comfort and
who can make profit out of the product
instead of out of the employees
Nevertheless there is enough smoke to
indicate that the operation of the act
calls for continuing study and observa-
ton. Congress declared it to be the policy
Of the act to improve labor conditions
without substantially curtailing employ
ment or earning power" and instructed
the advisory boards to observe this pro-
viso in recommending standards. 1t would
be an incongruity if the flat, nationwide
standards established by Congress itself
should prove to have this effect.
There is apparently more likelihood at
the outset that trouble will result from
the hours limitations than from the wage
requirements. Certainly 25 cents an hour
is not an eXorbitant minimum. But
change in many manufacturing indus
tries. New rulings by the Administrator
or revisions by Congress may be required
to prevent injustice to employers and
damage to industry if the law also oper-
ates to raise wages already above the
minimum, as it appears to do in some
cases.

Justin Dart is himself a college
man, having graduated from North

cants for positions, he usually for
gets to inquire about their acade-
mic achievements. He Is not IN
terested in whether they have
college diploma or a Phi Beta

in what they can do for his organ
ization. Il want men,, he said,
who can make things happen.

applies to him for a position, Mr..
Dart always tries to discourage him.

That discourages most of them, ="
Mr.. Dart said. But not all. About

that owing tc their superior educa-

ANOTHER SUBSIDY
(Reno GaZette)

Organized aviation enthusiasts intend
asking Congress to help in building up
fleet of $4,000 private planes for national
defense and for training pilots for future
emergencies. They say there are 10000
private planes in the country now, from
which could be drawn many skilled avia-
tors in case of war, but that there should
be more. They say $4,000 planes would
produce upwards of 100000 trained or
partially trained fliers who could qualify
for military service in a short time.
The encouragement of private aviation
has always been desirable, but as a gov
ernment subsidized industry, there are
doubts. Every group of enthusiasts sees
in its particular interest a great help to
the government. Every group that can
organize to the point of self expression,
wants subsidies. However, the sweeping
program of government help, sponsored
by several groups of fliers, seeking the
support of the National Aeronautic as
sociation in their plan, will probably fail
Of official sanction. The development of
aviation is now well advanced in the gov
ernment departments.
The civil aviators' requests, while we'll
meant, are much the same as those of
other volunteer groups who think they
are entitled to public money merely be-
cause they want it,

completely changed land. The yul-
lures flapped their wings and
flew away, the process of dismem-
Lerment stopped, and Turkey en-
tered on the most amazing period
of modernization and renovation In
modern history.
Kemal didn't do all of this with
out being a bit rough at times. He
hanged leaders of the opposition,
when that seemed advisable TO him,
without the slightest hesitancy. He
put down rebellions with an iron
hand. But-perhaps because Tur-
key had never been a country where
the ideas of democracy had made
the slightest headway-this some
how wasn't so shocking, in west
ern eyes.
For this man was, in his own
way, actually bringing modern civ
ilization TO an old backward civ
norant and cruelty inefficient
country; and despite the price that
was paid, he left Turkey better off
than he found it.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-11-21

Say what you please about the
late Kemal Ataturk, you must at
least give him credit for this. he
was the one dictator OF modern
times who managed to do his die
tatnig without recourse to bunk.
Kemal had cold eyes and mouth
like a slit in a piece of sheet iron,
but he never went around putting
out his chest, popping out his eyes
or making dramatic declarations
about the perfidy, weakness and de-
cay of all people except his own.
He never played with the idiotic
theory that the economic and So
cial disorganizati ton produced by a
four-year war was due to the evil
plots of international Jewry' nor
did he fil.d it necessary to keep hl5
subjects mind off their troubles by
creating a new war scare every 10
months.
Yet from the standpoint OF what
was accomplished with the mater
ials at hand, Kemal made the other
dictators look like pale copies OF
the original.
Turkey was completely wrecked
by the war. After the ArmiStice

appeared to be a lifelesS corpse.

NEW KIND OF FRUIT
ON THESE CHERRY TREES

Washington's cherry trees are grow
ing sour lemons these days. Who gets
the lemons is a question yet TO be de
cded.
Somebody, we're inclined to believe,
has led somebody astray. We hesitate
20 accuse the good cubwomen of tina
District Of Columbia of such a thing 1t
is equally unthinkable to charge the
President with misleading anybody; and
we naturally hesitate to believe that the
Department of Interior would stoop to
deception about cherry trees.
Also somebody has put somebody on
the spot, but as yet it is not apparent
whether it is the clubwomen or the De-
partment of the Interior officials who
did it. 1t is fairly certain, however,
that the gentleman on the spot is the
President.
II is really scandalous to have so many
uncertainties, but perhaps it is under
standable. The whole thing hinges about
an uncertainty. How many cherry trees
will have to be cut down in Washington's
Tidal Basin to make room for the pro-
posed jefferson monument?
The clubwomen and some newspapers
don't want the cherry trees removed be-
cause they're so beautiful, and the gov
ernment wants the jefferson memorial
because it will be so beautiful-and
among other things. So the clubwomen
have protested contested and mistrust-
ed every proposal, effort and motive
connected even remotely with the cherry
trees.
So il was that the President informed
the ladies they had been "flim-flammed
by the newspapers, and said only SS
cherry trees would have to be cut down,
and anyway the government will plant
some more trees to take their place, and
besides the cherry trees are shOrt-lived
anyway.
The President was left right spang in
the middle of the spot when it developed
all of a sudden that the department of
Interior had reported the result of a
survey among the cherry trees, and other
trees To make way for the jefferson
monument, the department said, these
trees would have to be removed:
1923 cherry trees, 126 elms, % syca-
mores, % long leaf pines, q naples,
nine bircheS and so trees of miscellan-
eous classification.
So it is that the President probably
wishes George Washington had chopped
down all of the cherry trees whether he
was honest about it afterwards or not.
Meanwhile it seems to us the argu-
ment has not yet reached rock bottom.
II will when it comes down to the ques-
tion whether the jefferson memorial is
a sort of monument raised by the New
Deal over the currently dead principles
enunciated by Thomas Jefferon, who be-
lieved that the least government is the
best government.
