On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-The
weekly advertisement of the Associa-
ton of American Railroads, printed
in large number of publications with
large circulations, says, among other
things, that the railroad problem:
"Is due, at bottom, to the fact that
railroads must operate under rigid
regulations and compete with
three other forms of transportation
subsidized or helped by tax money"
This gives added interest to the re-
port that Joseph B. Eastman, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, has
been working for five years to find
out the subsidies, open and hidden,
paid by national, state or local gov
ernments to all forms of transporta-
ton and that he is likely to publish
it before the end of the year.
If he does, we shall have for the
first time an official statement as to
what the public has paid to private
transportation companies shipping,
railroads, motors and airplanes; and
| fancy that a summary of such a
statement will make the average tax
payer ask feebly for a glass of water
or something.
x X x
Public aid to water transportation
was not so very heavy until the World
War. Before that, the Federal gov
ernment spent money on rivers and
harbors; and not much more. After
the war, things got going in way
that made most other graft look tame.
Government ships, built for the war,
were sold to private companies at
about tenth of their cost and a third
Of what they could be bought for in
Europe, even in the postwar depress-
ion.
This was the time when R. Stanley
Dollar, head Of the line of that name,
charged his company living expenses
in Washington around $1,000 week
while negotiating for government
ships-and then charged commission
of several hundred thousand dollars
to his own company for buying them.
And when the graft was regular
lied, so to speak, in 1928, Senator
Black of Alabama, now Justice of the
Supreme Court, brought out that at
least one shipping company had re-
ceived s120,000 for carrying one
pound of mail.
X X
The air mail subsidies were terrific,
too. Motors may be and probably not
paying their share Of taxes for the
highways they use.
But l do not believe the railroads
will get much satisfaction out Of East
mans report-not if he "tells ALL"
Ethel Janney-for woman has
made the best study of cash and
bond subsidies to railroads to
date-fgured that up to 1870,
national, state, city, county and
townships payments to railroads
came to more than s700,000,00O.
The ICC itself gathered and printed
many years ago that land grants to
railroads came to about 242,0OO square
miles; not quite so big as Texas, but
bigger than France, Belgium and the
Netherlands put together

MARKETING HELD VALID

Macon, Ga.-A three-judge Federal
Court has upheld the constitutionality
of the tobacco marketing agreement
and ruled that marketing Of tobacco
in excess of quotas may be validly
penalized according to the act" In dis
missing petition brought by South
Georgia tobacco growers seeking to
have the tobacco marketing act de-
clared unconstitutional, so as to avoid
penalties for excess quotas, it was also
decreed that fees impounded by the
court be paid to the Government.

TAXES

Washington, D. C.-President Louis
P. Marciante of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor this week urged
formation of a national council of the
special tax study committees already
authorized by 27 state labor bodies
Purpose, he said, would be to form
unified basic program of practical
steps to help labor legislative commit
tees protect interests of worker-con-
sumers against new, needless, dis
guised or inequitable tax proposals.

WOOL GOODS UNSHRINKABLE

New York.-Pointing out in an edi-
torial the benefits to textile manufac-
turers, the consumer and the national
defense forces in making available to
the public at the earliest possible time
a recent discovery by three War De-
partment chemists for making wool
goods unshrinkable, the New York
Times has sounded the starting-g gun
for consumer reaction that is likely to
result in a stampede-demand for un-
shrinkables. Patents for the treat
ment may be claimed by the War De-
partment. Process is said to be fairly
quick and cheap.

Germany Reported
Forcing Greece 10
Limit News Of Jews
Indicates Nuzis Do Not
Like Publicity on
Anti-Semitism
Nv DEWITT MACKENZIE,

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 25.-I un-
derstand from a well-informed
source that the Greek government
the other day issued an order to the
newspapers that they were not to
publish any further news regarding
the anti-Semitic activities in Ger
many unless it came from German
sources.
This action, I am further told,
came after the German Minister had
made representations to the Greek
foreign Office.
The enforcement of this order
would mean, of course, that the
Greek press wouldn't publish any,
thing that the German government
didn't like, since the Nazi authorities
absolutely control the publications
of the Reich.
Order Slightly Relaxed.
Later this order was relaxed some
what and papers were permitted to
publish not only news from German
sources but that carried by two
conservative agencies of other Euro
pean countries.
This order is notable for several
reasons.
First, it shows that the Nazi
authorities don't like the adverse
publicity they have been getting be-
cause of anti-Semitism. -
More important it marks a new
development in diplomacy between
totalitarian states as concerns the
press.
Germany is said to have taken
the attitude in the present instance
that, since the Greek government
controlled the newspapers of this
country, any publication unfavorable
to Germany must ipso facto have
the Endorsement of the Greek gov
ernment. In other words, If the
Greek press were unfriendly to Ger
many, the Greek government also
must be hostile.
Wide Range of Repression.
Such an Interpretation opens up
an endless range for further repres-
sion of the already hamstrung press
of totalitarian countries.
I have just completed a tour of
seven such countries and, believe
me, the newspapers of those coun-
tries have been stripped utterly of
independence. Not only do the gov
ernments bar publication of things
they do not like, but they enforce
publication of material which they
wish made public.
Since have been in Greece one
young journalist committed suicide
because he no longer could stand
the loss of liberty in this chosen
profession.
The new diplomacy between such
countries as affecting the press
would seem to be on the lines of
you scratch my back and III
scratch yours" 1t means that they
must stand together.
The German representation to
Greece certainly means that, but it
would seem to cut deeper This coun-
try lies on the fringe of the new
economic empire which Herr Hitler
has established down through the
Balkans to support the fatherland.
Nazidom has domination over coun-
tries farther north, and the measure
Of Berlin's influence over Greece is
very great though not absolute.
Wherever I've travelled I've found
general agreement among expert
observers that economic domina-
ton also inevitably insures political
control If the latter is desired.
Thus in this rather small Incl
dent in Greece we may have
glimpse of the political force of
Germany coming into operation.

ROCKVILLE LIBRARY
HIGHLIGHTS

The significant feature of the Rock
Vile Library at present is the picture
of steady growth as shown from the
circulation statistics kept since Sep
Hember 1, when the Library moved to
irs new location in the Academy Build
ing. However, it is not primarily the
! increase in number of volumes circu-
lated that is gratifying but the fact
that this circulation is based on sound
knowledge of books. It is obvious that
the library as an institution is becom-
ing more and more an effective center
for the diffusion of knowledge and for
the development of lifelong habits OF
intellectual inquiry, and the increasing
use of leisure time spent in reading.
There are now 1870 members belong
ing to the Library Association, giving
an increase of 80 members since Sep
Gember 1. 465 adults and children have
registered and have library cards. The
following figures show the steady IN
crease in circulation. The Christmas
holidays naturally caused the eircula-
tion to go down for December. How
tver, January is proving to be the
highest reading month yet.

Best Wishes To
The Sentinel
To the Publisher and Editor of


To the Publisher and Editor of
THE SENTINEL:
In the beginning of the New Year,
it is fine custom to offer our best
wishes to all, but it seems we might
feel more encouraged if, in addition
to such greetings, one might add a
word of praise as to what a friend
has accomplished during the past
year. This seems appropriate in say
ing to THE SENTINEL: "We are a
little late, but we sincerely trust
you will have prosperous New
Year, and that your excellent paper
will continue as interesting and pop
ular as in the past. So much for
1887. AS for 1898, you have started
off with the old zest, intelligence,
sense of humor, fairness, and, best
of all, petty luminosity toward none"
Take the issue of January 13. The
column, GAS We See 1t" includes
notations of current national events,
the foreign situation, the question of
legality of chance games, local i'm
provements anticipated and needed,
winding up with a humorous para
graph on Butter" in 1882. The
series of Historical Questions about
Rockville" are most interesting, es-
to the older generation. The
Sale of Bonds, Appointments Of
Bank Directors, Isaak Walton actiw-
ties, Fire Department Appointments,
Death Of the late Robert G. Hilton,
are all subjects Of keenest interest to
town and county residents. On the
second page, what subjects could be
more worthy of attention than the
discussion of the all-important sub
ject Of Spring House Cleaning, the
Causes Of Automobile Accidents, the
eternal and internal subject of Cred
it, and the wisdom of the advice in
Boosting Your Home Town. The
film material is such as you would
read with avidity in a magazine. AS
for the local and county social
news, you find it in full, as you
cannot find it in the city papers.
The recipes are delicious reading, the
only objection being, they tempt
those who are not permitted to in
dulge in anything except the drab-
pest, most boresome diet. Even the
ads. are entertaining we dare not
particularize and it is a joy to
see in the Classified Ads. how much
,ne can get for so little, if you
happen to want those particular
,hings. The "High-Lights of 1887"
review the years events in the most
form. Incidentally, can
t be possible it was as far back as
October that "The Business Men
Started the Drive to Boost the
Town.? If they started the drive
Then, where is it Now? That drive
sure must be goin' somewharl
If, unfortunately, you did not see
The January 18th issue of THE SEN
rINEL, it is to be hoped this resume,
as it is, will convince
you that our town can boast of a
paper, which, to me, has only one
and that is, it is weekly
instead of a semi-weekly publication.
