The Row-House Bon

Arlington County, Virginia, in the
throes of growing palms," is evi-
dencing most commendable desire
to stay within the bounds of an Or
derly development that will do credit
to the fine traditions of the attractive
community across the Potomac River.
It has acted energetically to combat
what appeared to be serious threat
to this Observation-Disclosures op-
erations by speculative builders.
Essentially residential suburb of
the better class, distinguished by its
detached homes on large, Handicapped
sites, Arlington recently suffered a
sudden onslaught of row-house
builders trained in mass production
technique. Wide open spaces were
being crowded with long rows of
dwellings and plans for similar prof.
ects were flooding the courthouse as
a result OF court decision that exist
ing coming regulations lacked control
measures.
County citizens, under leadership
Of the Arlington County Civic Fedora
ton, became alarmed at the prospec-
tive transformation of their pleasant
suburban community into congested
city-like districts of regimented
houses. Resolutions Of protest vir-
tually swamped the county board.

BeIbeno;t's Fute

Rene Belbenoit must go back. BY
December Is this swarthy French.
man, who fought his way against al
most insuperable odds to freedom
from the penal colony in French
Guiana, must leave the United States
to return, probably, to the steaming
jungles from which he escaped.
For theft committed long ago, he
must rejoin seven hundred other
wretches now onthe high seas bound
for Devils Island.
Belbenoit has lived what might be
called model life since his arrival
here seventeen months ago, writing
an expose Of the horrors of the colony
and speaking before various organi-
cations around New York. His de-
portation is, of course, perfectly legal,
but the thought that he must per-
haps return to the horrors depicted
in his book, DRY Guillotine," raises
q question as to what man must do
to redeem himself. Does rehabilita-
ton in the face of great odds carry
no weight in the scales Of justice?
The thought Of Devils Island
evokes a feeling Of gratitude for the
efforts Of Attorney General Cum
mings to make American prisons
houses Of reform, not houses of tor
ture.

Action on JoywoIkinq

The Commissioners have called q
meeting for Monday at which they,
together with the director of traffic,
the director of highways, the super
intendent Of police and the corpora
ton counsel, will consider the results
Of MIR. Van Duzer's studies of pedes-
trian control in other cities and will
draw up a suggested plan for such
control in the National Capital.
The rights as well as the RESPONSE
bilities of pedestrians will be carefully
weighed. An important factor will
be the consolidation of data on such
regulations elsewhere and a study of
the extent to which their enforcement
depends upon general public CO.
operation. But the most important
action to be taken Monday will be the
setting of date for the public hear
ing on the proposed regulation, a step
which the heads Of the District gov
ernment have declared is necessary
before any action can be taken by
them. The citizens of the Capital
will be given an opportunity to study
carefully the suggested rules in time
to go into the public hearing pre-
pared to approve it or to make their
own recommendations.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
any regulation adopted will be
definite, city-wide, full-time control
measure, and that it will embody
the principles that all citizens,
whether they may be walking or driv-
ing, have their respective rights and
obligations, and that no one has the
liberty to consider he can, at his own
risk, endanger his own life.

with the result that blanket pro-
hibition against row houses has been
decreed. The majority Of the board
thereby Endorsed the feeling Of 4
majority Of the residents that there
is no place in Arlington County for
group houses.
The board adopted the wholesale
ban against the advice of Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence Douglas,
who gave the opinion that a blanket
prohibition would not stand up in
court. While sympath:zing with row.
house opponents, the boards legal
adviser expressed fear that the new
zoning amendment would be ruled
out as arbitrary and unreasonable"
This bridge does not have to be
crossed yet, however. It is to be
hoped that If any attempt is made to
test the ordinance in court, there will
be no undue delay in joining the issue
and seeking an early determination
of the validity of the county's popu-
lar action. The question is Of major
Importance not only to Arlington,
but to other communities troubled
with the same problem.

D. c. Psrol Congestion

The desire Of the DEPARTMENT OF
Justice to hand h1ck to District of
Columbia authorities as early as pos
sible the responsibility of caring for
some 800 District prisoners now in
Federal prisons is understandable.
The statement of James v. Bennett,
Federal director of prisons, before
the District Board of Public Welfare
to the effect that Federal housing
for District prisoners is nearing an
end was more in the nature Of
prediction than a warning.
Local penal institutions, including
the District Jail, Lorton Reformatory
and Occoquan Workhouse, not only
are congested, but lack what penal
experts call a maximum security"
unit for the Imprisonment Of GRIM
inals of the more desperate type.
Recognizing the dilemma of local
authorities, the Department of JUS
tice has practiced good neighbor"
policy of providing Federal shelter
for limited number Of the Districts
problem" convicts. Several Of these
are on "The Rock" otherwise known
as Alcatraz Island. The District pays
for the board and lodging Of these
prisoners.
A steady growth in the Federal
prison population has overcrowded
many of the institutions operated by
the Department of Justice, however,
and the unfairness Of further taxing
the overburdened facilities of the
Federal Government has been ap-
parent to Federal and local authori-
ties for some time. This situation
was one of the factors which figured
in the successful movement to pro-
vide funds for enlargement and i'm
provement OF the local penal system.
AS result the District is completing
a maximum security" walled unit
at Lorton Reformatory and is pre-
pairing to erect new buildings for the
District Jail. Mr.. Bennett also has
pointed to the need here Of an adult
reformatory for youthful first Of
tenders, to keep them from con-
tacting hardened criminals of the
recidivist category.
The new penal construction pro-
gram alone will not bring immediate
relief to the Federal establishments,
it should be noted. The walled unit
at Lorton will be a white elephant
unless Congress provides additional
funds with which to operate it. Since
the Federal Government will benefit
indirectly by such an appropriation,
the Department of Justice well might
collaborate with District officials in
impressing upon the proper congress
sional committees the urgency of
giving adequate attention to this
serious problem.

Nasi domain. Thus the elimination
Of the Iron Guard chieftain and his
principal aides IL . definite setback
to Mani hopes, but it cannot be re.
garded rs more than temporary.
The passing Of Codreanu is =
signal for King Carol to draw his
dictatorship tighter, especially in
view Of the incipient terror campaign
Of the Fascist Legion Of DEATH" as
. climax to which the Iron Guard
killings occurred. From within his
prison cell, where he was serving a
ten-year term on q charge Of treason
growing out Of a reported plot to
throw Rumania into the German
sphere, Codreanu was reputed to
have directed the activities Of the
terrorists.
II German Nazi methods hold good
for the future vicious propaganda
campaign by the controlled German
press, followed by an ultimatum to
Carol to fall in line with the Ger
man sweep through the Balkans, is
to be expected. The alternative to
surrender: economic strangulation.
Carol has little ground to hope for
successful resistance to the German
onslaught, confined though 1t may
be to the economic and propaganda
fields. He must always look to the
ultimate possibility of German mill
tary attack through Czecho- -Slovakia
and Hungary. In counting up his
political assets Carol finds only the
prospect of aid from Russia, which
would not relish a German army on
the Ukraine frontier.
Yugoslavia, Turkey and Bulgaria
are already so much within the Ger
man orbit as to be of little help.
Britain and France are believed not
likely to interfere.
Thus new complication is in
jected into an already confused
Southeastern European situation, in
which Rumania, because it Is the
chief source of resistance to German
expansion, may be the next point
Of German attack.

lions is being fought out. not In q dis
interested manner, but In . very in
terested one, indeed, BY companies which
make both.
The great American ear, well trained
by years Of listening to classics and
dance music over the air, Is being
catered to ali up and down the air waves,
rs well as on the discs.
The fascination Of the old machines
has been aided by the introduction Of
electricity. A record changer" turns
over discs and plays them one after the
other without assistance.
Many recruits to the old-new ma
chimes, however, will have none of it:
they enjoy hopping up and down" to
put on records!
This may seem strange to others,
who recall the small chore as nuisance.
How glad they were, when radio came
along, that they could remain seated!
That they abused the privilege, by
reading and talking when they should
have been listening, is perhaps beside
the mark.
Radio introduced symphonic music for
the first time to thousands Of listeners,
rs well as other forms Of music COM
monty called classical. The result has
been that an entire new audience has
been built up for recorded music.

Music training in the schools, and
the vast popularity Of dance music,

And to many of these. = revolving
phonograph turntable, evidently, is =
genuine novelty. They had seen and
heard, perhaps, only small portable
acoustical machines. whose tone was
still dependent upon . sound box and

That record cou'i give music as
good as came from . fine radio receiv-
ing set, even better, II they could be-
lieve their ears, was something almost
unbelievable.
That they could form their own pro-
grams, instead of taking what some
body else chose. seemed equally novel.
Il Il 4
The crowd in front Of the revolving
turntable was symbolic.
Nine out Of ten disc purchasers are
men.
Men are gadgeteers. They love gadg-
cts of all kinds, especially If electricity
and mechanics are mixed up in them.
The new monographs combine the
turntable and electric motor with the
loud-speaker and electrical pickup,
Here Is bushel of fun for the gadg-
eteer, as we'll as the ability to play q
favorite symphony or dance piece

Radio showed all listeners the truly
universal character of music. Let the
record collector keep this in mind, and
not be narrow in his choices. All SYM

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. ryacs,oeu.

A large group, almost crowd, sur.
rounded the lobby Of radio store.
The lockers, al men, were pesring
down at something going round and
round. .s
We advanced to see what this marvel
was-
It was . phonograph, sometimes called
gramophohe.
Then suddenly We realized that this
instrument is q novelty to Thousands
Of persons today. :.
A whole generation has grown up, the
members Of which have had no personal
acquaintance with this outstanding in
vention.
To those who came along ~ children
when Edison and others first began
their career, the phonosraph in its
various forms is merely part Of life.
Even in the old days there were toy
monographs which ran by turning .
crank.
A tinny voice recited MARY had = lit
tie lamb" and other nursery rhymes.
Then came the two rival types Of
machines, the one using cylinders, first
Of soft wax and then of hard wax-Nke
material, and the type using discs.
The latter won out. in the hard COM
mercial and artistic night which fol-
lowed.
The disc, called platter" in modern
swing lingo, was the easiest handled,
and the most conveniently stored.
The phonograph swept the old music
boxes OF the market, and in turn was
almost swept out itself following the
advent of the radio receiving set.
In the early days of popular radio,
when people sat around for hours with
ear phones glued to their heads, q
favorite argument was whether the new
toy would totally oust the old phono-
graph and records.
The argument was seemingly settled
in few years, when owners began to
sell their old monographs and to buy
radio receivers.
The production of phonograph discs
went right ahead, but subsequent years
saw break-ups in old company align
ments, the formation Of new ones.
Electrical methods Of recording and
reproduction were applied in the field,
with wonderful results, but the nation
as whole sat with satisfaction before
their radios, unmindful Of the discs.
Then the news got around that the
phonograph was still fun, that 1t had q
new lease on life, that it enabled
music lover to play what he liked"
instead of taking what he must.
Record sales began to boom again.
Turntables were combined In radio
sets, 50 that the old lure Of the records
could be had without purchasing two
machines.
Today this queer battle of the inven-
