CHICKEN FIGHT

NEW YORK, Mar. % up
Police raided their first cock fight
in 20 years and were greatly dis
appointed. Two birds were fighting
on a carpet in a Harlem flat. There
was no blood, no sign of any of the
II birds confiscated having been
injured, and it seemed a tame
sport. Forty eight men who had
been watching the fight were ar
rested.

To the Editor OF The Star:
No Government executive or employe
who knows his business-and no COM
petent reporter who has investigated the
General Accounting Oflce-will contend
that the G. A. O. serves its purpose. It
is incompetent, muddled. It might have
legitimate purpose, as check on the
executive, but as it exists today, 1t Is
merely exasperating.
You quote the case Of the Farm Sc
curity Administration as justification
for the G. A. o. know nothing Of this
incident, but would almost bet that any
ruling of the G. A. o. was wrong. That's
just how bad it is and If you doubt 1t

Persona Non Groto

For obvious reasons Hitler is un-
acceptable to France as an arbiter Of
the dispute with Italy over Tunisia.
Corsica and other Mediterranean ter
ritories which it is II Duce's aim to
recover" from France.
Signor Mussolini and Herr Hitler are
parties to a compact of despoliation
which has once already carried
Europe to the brink of war, and which
threatens to carry it even closer
again.
The idea Of arbitration of a pro-
posal to take away from France
territory which is part of her very
substance is naturally unacceptable
to the French. 1t brings into clear
relief the seriousness with which the
allied dictators take their partner
ship.
Mussolini probably got his idea
from the success with which Herr
Hitler arbitrated the territorial differ
ence between Hungary and Czecho-
Slovakia, but the question of Frances
ceding part of her territory at the
demand of the Italian dictator is
quite another thing from the French
viewpoint.
No pretense is made, or could be
made, that arbitration by Hitler, even
If it should be consented to, would
be anything like impartial, which is
the very essence of arbitration. Mus
solini needs victory, for it has been
a comparatively long time since the
Ethiopian conquest, and the Italian
achievements in Spain have been
nothing to be proud of.
Munich and the peace that it con-
notes was bitter pill for France to
swallow, and is growing more bitter
each day. If 1t were not for the sur
render made necessary there by
ostensible weakness, the French re-
public would not now be confronted
by this demand for surrender of
territory.
The Munich settlement was prod
uct of the collaboration of two
powerful dictators and that is true of
the current demand for Tunisia,
Corsica, Nice and Savoy. Effective
defeat of this whip-sawing strategy
depends upon separation of the COL
laborators, which will not be possible
by permitting either to step in and
rule upon the demands of the other.

Believes Pedestrian Control
Has Failed Elsewhere.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Although an effort is being made to
foist upon the District regulation gov
erning pedestrian traffic for the alleged
purpose of reducing accidents, the pub
lished report based upon answers to
missionaries sent other communities
which the director of traffic made to the
Commissioners, Is silent regarding
whether a reduction in accidents has
been achieved in those communities
where pedestrian traffic regulations are
in effect.
The other report of the director
analyzing the cause of accidents and
accompanied by a chart showing the
percentage of the various kinds of mis-
haps in which pedestrians were involved,
is misleading. Many of the deaths at
tributed to pedestrians crossing in the
middle of the block were probably of chill
dren at play, darting into the street from
between parked cars, although the direc-
tors report does not so state.
Many casualties attributed to pedes-
trians crossing on red signal were prob
ably those of persons who started to
cross the street on a green light, but
were caught in stream of traffic be-
cause the lights turned red before the
victims reached the other side.
In the zeal of advocating measure
designed to control pedestrians it has
probably escaped the notice of those in
authority that most persons afoot are
either tinid or intimidated and will not
assert their right of way on cross walk
or elsewhere at the approach of fast
moving vehicle. The timidity of pedes-
trians is such that drivers take it for
granted the person afoot will yield his
right of way rather than run the risk of
being injured.
The foolhardy pedestrian who rashly
asserts his right of way is termed by
automobile propagandists "jaywalker,"
the Al public enemy of wild drivers
with no place to go and in an agonizing
hurry to get there. Evidently a pedes-
trian traffic regulation is unlikely to sue
the pedestrians right of way or so-called
jaywalking.
It is serious reflection upon the in
telligence of community that must
resort to the adoption of regulations pre-
scribing when and where persons afoot
may cross the street and penalize them
with arrest for disobedience. If the
number of accidents to persons afoot
has been appreciably reduced in COM
munities where pedestrian regulation is
in effect, it certainly should be given a
fair trial in Washington. The adoption
of such measure elsewhere apparently
has not materially reduced accidents or
the fact would have been stressed in the
directors report. STANLEY WHITE.
