New District Zoning Bill
Another Super -Monstrosity?

To the Editor Of The Star:
YOUR alert newspaper is to be COM
mended for directing serious atten-
ton to the new zoning bill introduced in
the Senate
1t appears to be crammed with confsca.
tory and unconstitutional pronunciamen-
tos based on regulations" or orders of a
dictatorial commission.
This bill (Senate 1851 starts out with
the intent Ito promote the health, safety,
morals. convenience, order. prosperity and
general welfare of the District of Co.
lumbia"-an undertaking so vast that
what man is competent to explain how
all that can be brought about by coming
regulations? 1t is wholly unmindful Of
highest court decisions that the general
welfare" can be promoted only through
the taxing power of Congress- for the bill
seeks to effectuate that purpose by PEN
atty of 500 each day that regulations
or orders are disobeyed. How convenience,
order. prosperity" can be made an excuse
for conf1scation of private property rights
is not within the grasp OF most men,
talities.
The bill undertakes to encourage sta
bility of districts "and of land values
therein" Whence is derived legislative
power to encourage stablization of land
values and how can it legally be done?
Authorization for appropriation of money
for bureaucratic salaries is made. of course.
But nothing is observed in the bill to en-
able property owners to turn residences
into stores in commercial districts or to
enable property ownvs to convert stores
into homes in residential areas. There
will be no prosperity" for property owners
financially unable to make such altera-
tlons or not able to sell their properties
unaltered if orders for changes are issued
by the penalty y-confscating zoning band.
This new zoning bill appears to be a
bralnstorm companion to that other depre-
dating bill introduced in Congress a few
years ago. which, If passed, would have
authorized the Commissioners OF the Dis
trlct Of Columbia so to act as to amend
modify or repeal District acts Of Congress
at their will and pleasure, in defiance of
court decisions that Congress cannot dele
gate legislative power to administrative
officers. That bill died as soon as public
scrutiny exposed its irrationality This new
zoning bill, more dangerous as written.
should have the same inglorious demise.

To the Editor of The Star:
HERE is an idea that can be made of
considerable news importance and a
business help in a big way. Why should
not The Evening Star sponsor a real
recognition of Fathers day on June 10
this year? give The Star the first oppor-
tunity to do this
This is my idea-to ask business men
to meet in conference and arrange special
sales for Fathers day. which they will be
glad to do. This may help to start busi-
ness recovery. Business, now in the dumps,
will be better by that time. You get
the idea.
There is no reason why more recogni-
tion OF Fathers day should not be given
this year in all our public schools and our
churches as we'll. HOWARD H. BURR.

Some Of the greatest triumphs OF
the new Turkey have been In the
diplomatic field. In 1882 1t entered
the League Of aNtions. In 1880
Renal forgot the ancient wars be-
tween Turks and Greeks and signed
treaty Of friendship and arbitra-
ton. In 1888 this was turned into q
virtual treaty of alliance. In Feb
ruary, 1884, this was enlarged BY the
Balkan pact, having for its object
Balkan peace and maintenance OF
Balkan independence. It was signed
by Greece, Turkey, Rumania and
Yugoslavia. Later Turkey signed an
Asiatic pact Of similar purport with
Irak, Iran and Afghanistan.
But the biggest diplomatic victory
came with the Montreux conference.
The convention of Lausanne IN 1928
provided that the Bosphorus and
the Dardenelles, with contiguous
areas of the European and Asiatic
mainland, should be demilitarized
and interantionalized In the pres
ent perilous state Of the world, this
was a menace to Turkish neutrality.
Turkey, therefore, instead Of abro-
eating the treaty provision as Hitler
did about the demilitarized Rhine
land, asked the power to agree to

The World War ended all that.
Mesopotamia, now Trak, was at first
inundated to England and so was
Palestine. Syria was inundated TO
France. Arabia fell under the rule
of the warlike Ibon Saud. Asia
Minor was invaded by the Greeks.
Then 1t was that Renal Ataturk
took charge, beat the Greeks back
to the sea and began the reconstruc-
ton of his truncated country.
In Europe he held on to the ter
ritory with the big cities Of Istan-
bull and Adrianople. But he devoted
his main efforts to the Anatolian
plateau. He moved the capital from
Istanbul to Ankara. In fifteen years
he wrought miracles. Ankara has
been changed from sleepy, dirty,
ancient Turkish town Of 10000 to u
modernized capital Of 100000. A
new Turkish army, splendidly
trained and well-armed, has reach
ed q figure Of 100000 regular troops.
Renal has done wonders in maxi
ing Turkey self-supporting. Thou
sands Of miles Of railways have been
built with Turkish money. New in
dustries have sprung up, supported
by Turkish private capital and
state subsidies, thus preventing for
eign powers from getting mortgages
on the Turkish state. Furthermore,
for the past ten years Turkey has
balanced her budget
Renal not only abolished the SUI
tanate and set up a republic, but
he separated the State from the
Moslem faith. Religious schools were
abolished. Religious laws sanction
ing polygamy were abolished. The
wearing Of the fez and turban was
forbidden. The Turkish women have
been completely emancipated, hav-
ing equal voting ana civil rights
with the men. Not only have schools
and colleges been increased, but
knowledge has ben brought to the
populace by 400 Peoples Houses"

Bowl Over Long Course

Bowling in Fire is done on the
open roadway and bears no resem-
blance to the more sedate variety
popular in America. In Fire it is a
game of strength as well as skill.
Usually two men from widely sep
arated places are the contestants,
each being backed by the entire
population of his own town. The
course is of three to four miles in
length, the idea being to negotiate
the distance to an agreed upon pub
lie house in the fewest number Of
throws using a 28-ounce iron ball.
The game is most popular in the
County Cork where the best Of the
bowlers can throw the heavy ball
about 70 yards with an additional
roll of about a hundred yards.

Kaifeng, China, Founded
About 74O Before Christ

Kaifeng, on the east-west Lunghai
railway in central China, was built
by Duke Chwang about TAO B. c.,
and once was the eastern capital Of
China. The city once had popu-
lation Of about $4,000 and was the
capital Of Honan province.
As one of the earliest settlements
OF the Chinese in China, Kaifeng
has seen its name changed many
times as dynasties rose and fell.
Following Duke Chwang, who
named it Kaifeng, meaning to mark
off CkaD the boundary of his fief
deng), the Chow, Suy, and Tang
dynasties called the city Pienchow
from the years 567 to 907. During
the five dynasties of the Wutai,
from 907 to $50, it was Tungking, or
eastern capital.
When the Yuan or Mongol dynas-
ty came into power in 1850, the
name was changed to Pienliang,
but with the establishment of the
Ming dynasty in 1868 it again be-
came Kaifeng.
When the Yuan or Mongol dynas-
ty came into power in 1850, the
name was changed to Pienliang, but
with the establishment Of the Ming
dynasty in 1868 it again became
Kaifeng.
Floods and rebel bands have at
tackled the city many times during
its history, but each time it was
reconstructed. The wall, pierced by
ave gates, afforded some protec-
ton, and its broad streets and beau
tiful buildings are imposing evil

survive. A 12-story pagoda rises 600
feet and is the tallest structure with

tower 200 feet high affords a look

from the Yellow river.
Jews who entered China in 1853
A. D., established their first colony
at Kaifeng. Remnants Of the an
eient and once prosperous Jewish
colony still live there.

Insects Have Enemies

An insect has no enemy like an
other insect which preys upon It.
One-haf Of the worlds insects live
on the other half. Were it not for
this balance that Mother Nature pro-
vided, it is believed that certain
types OF. insects would long ago have
overpopulated the earth and con-
sumed all vegetation, without which
neither man, bird, nor beast could
survive. Birds, frogs, lizards and
animals whose diets consist chiefly
of insects, while keeping down the
population of injurious insects, also
curtail the numbers of the beneficial
insects. Therefore they are not
nearly so important in insect con-
troll as are the predictions insects.

Edinburg Castle Stands
High on Its Mighty Rock

Strong and grim, Edinburgh
castle stands high on its mighty
rock. So standing, it becomes a
fitting sentinel for the gray, stony,
primly beautiful city it overlooks; it
is monument curiously symboical
of the austere Scottish landscape
and people; it is reminiscent Of the
dour, memorable John Knox, Of the
mighty Bruce, of Wallace and his
great two-handed sword, of the
Black Douglas. of Comyn and Mo-
ray and Montrose and all the other
stern and stiff-necked chieftains of
that harsh land, recalls H. C. Garri-
son, writing in the Detroit News.
The castle and rock have been
bombarded with everything from a
hurtling stone out of a catapult in
the late Middle ages to a Zeppelin
bomb in 1916; and still they stand,
unmoved and changeless.
The first castle was built on the
rock about HOO by King Malcolm
Canmore, who would have been for
gotten long since had he not built
the castle and had he not succeeded
to the throne of that Macbeth whom
Shakespeare immortalized. The
principal remainder of that first
castle is the chapel Malcolm built
for his wife, now called st. Mar
garet's chapel
Once the kings of Scotland lived
here on the rock, before they yield
ed to the soft comforts Of Holy
rocdhouse in the valley. Here, for
time, lived Mary Stuart. Queen
of Scots, a grim cage for SO gay g
lady.

Poetic Thoughts
Picnicking
By MORRIS GIBBS, sr.

Summertime is the season for pcncs,
For old and young go in for all the knick -knacks,
That make our baskets overflow
With all the goodies that they love so.
Early in the morning we leave to co.
By bus, train, for trolleys are now too slow,
Excitement is at high pitch for the kiddies want
Everyone to be their way for this pleasure aunt
At last we arrive at our destinations end
And look for a shady spot for we're ready to spend
Our time in getting ready for wonderful spread
That we know is ready, and we're hungry to be fed
When all is over the remnants are gathered
For each has had his fill and nothing else mattered
Until hunger is appeased and then they scatter
In all directions with their childish patter.
Night comes and the weary picnickers wend
Their way home and plan to spend
Another day for picnics are summertime delight
Because in winter the days are shorter than the nights
