Nearby Pollution.

Washington having set an example for
nearby communities by the recent in
stallation of 100000 sewage treatment
plant, residents Of adjoining sections Of
Maryland and Virginia at long last are
becoming pollution conscious.
Leesburg recently approved a bond
Issue for a disposal plant and numerous
other communities on the upper Potomac
and its tributaries are moving to end
pollution. Most of them have requested
engineering studies which are expected
to result in appeals to the Public Works
Administration for aid in building the
proper projects.
Nearby Arlington County has a plant
modelled after that in the District of
Columbia and in the metropolitan area
of Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties pollution is becoming political
campaign issue. It is claimed that little
more can be done within the District
until some steps are taken in nearby
Maryland.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, accused by the independent
Democratic faction Of Montgomery
County Of failing to take proper steps to
Evening star., 1938-08-26

end pollution, and urged by civic groupi
to get p. w. A. aid, pointed out, that 1t
is now considering means of financing q
disposal plant on site already obtained
for that purpose below Bladensburg. 1t
Is noted that a treatment plant cannot
b effective unless connected with all
parts of the sanitary district by means
Of trunk sewers. A preliminary survey
indicates = total outlay OF tl,656,355
would be required. 1t Is proposed that
efforts be made to obtain large portion
Of that sum from Federal sources. In
some communities 1t has been necessary
to impose . sewer rental charge to
finance disposal systems.
The Sanitary Commission has, through
Maryland legislators, asked Secretary
Ickes to include the entire sanitary dis
trict in pollution study Of the Potomac
area. Meanwhile. patriotic and conserva-
ton as well as political and civic groups
are pressing the fight for stream purifica-
ton. The subject must be kept before
the public. however, long after the end
OF this years election campaign.

Need for Government BY
Reason Urged.

Reason Urged.
To the Editor of The Star:
IN CARRYING his fight to the people
rather than to Congress President
Roosevelt inadvertently has precipitated
debate upon question which the
founders of these United States and
subsequent political writer's have dis
cussed with almost unanimity OF decision.
The question Of direct or indirect repre-
sentation has again been raised, but in
new form. Shall the people Of the
United States pass judgment upon legis-
lation or shall this power reside In the
better informed and more thoroughly
trained members of the Congress of the
United States?
Shall the legislation Of the United
States be adjudged by the people upon
the Interpretation placed upon it by
minority of the Congress led by pop
ular President gifted with the ability
to overcome the masses by the per-
suasiveness of his personality or shall
this legislation be adjudged by the in
depreciation placed upon 1t by majority
OF the Congress? 1t seems that more
weight should be attached to the decision
Of the majority, particularly If that ma
jority consists largely Of members Of
the same party who are cognizant of the
overwhelming political strength Of their
party leader.
Direct popular judgment upon public
issues, although in theory the most
democratic, -, In practice, thD most un.
democratic, unreahstic and ulafoasonahle

Tell Your Congressman.

The Rural Letter Carriers who are
meeting in Washington do not like the
National Capitals parking situation.
Too many of them have found their cars
towed to the police garage ard held for
ransom" They complain, not only Of
the enforcement Of the parking regula-
tions, but of the fact that there is 10
little parking space.
The visitors have been here less than
= week and already they have discovered
shortage Of parking space. 1t is pre-

cracking the backs. crumpling and fold
ing pageS-these are some Of the COM
mon offenses committed by thoughtless
persons.
II more people would make it a rule
to wash their hands and dry them care
fully before reading, and especially be-
fore playing phonograph records, there
would be better reading and better play
ing.
Once this idea is taken over, and put
into practice, there is curious rebound
IN appreciation. 1t is probably safe to
say that no person with soiled fingers
ever gets as much from book, or hears
music from records as we'll as the reader
or listener who is careful in such matters.
This comes about because the basis
OF appreciation for works OF art is
certain integrity Of mind whose first
sign IN the physical world is cleanliness
Of line, and this whether the art work
u o poem, or a sonata, or building.
Cleanliness OF approach, purely from
the physical standpoint, is a part of art.
When the horizon is cluttered up, get
ting Its impetus from disordered mind
or dirty fingers, the resulting work is
not likely to be one to appeal to the
Straightforward mind. No doubt that
is why 80 much OF the stuff MASQUERADE
ing as art" today is looked upon askance
by many who were brought up, and who
brought themselves up in different ira
dition, tradition in which the clean line
meant and means so much.
~
Let us say special word in regard
to the physical cleanliness of the disks.
The modern electrical recordings truly
are works OF art, not only in the sounds
issuing from them, but also as things
The best Of these productions greatly
resemble glass plates, the grooves and
material combining to form highlights
and shadows, and to give a pleasing
effect amounting to patina.
Only undergraduates would subject
such beautiful works of art to oily fingers,
cigarette ashes, water, alcohol, dust,
scratching, powder, rouge, lipstick, per-
spiration.
There Is a way Of holding a disk which
requires practically no touching OF the
recorded surfaces. All those who love
the records should learn it.
Prior, however, the hands must be
clean and dry, else careful handling
loses much Of its effects.
II children can be taught to have clean
hands before eating, their elders ought
to be able to learn how to have clean
hands also for reading and playing
music.
Even to handle musical instruments
with soiled hands is not so bad as play
ing the records with dirty fingers; the
tiny grooves are only about six one
thousandths Of an inch wide. and 1t does
not take much dirt to I'LL such a crevice.
The better disks have a glass-like per-
lection which puts them, as physical
things, in the true art work class; their
music is remarkably true to the real
music they reproduce. and this makes
them musical works of art.
Surely such a combination makes it
necessary for all thoughtful people to
see to 1t that as far as they can they
accord them the consideration they
deserve.

tions. They should recognize, however,
the necessity for the Warrington police
carrying out the mandates derived from
congressional authority.
They threaten to write to their Con-
gressmen about the treatment they have
received. pointing out that they represent
every county in the Nation. The voteless
citizens Of Washington would thank
them for all such letters. After all, the
rural carriers are here for week. More
than COZ, 900 other citizens, without rep
resentation or voice in their own gov
ernment, are here flfty-two times as long
each year.
1t Is to be hoped that all the carriers
will write to their congressman, demand
ing solution Of the entire traffic prob
lem in the Nations Capital. Perhaps
with the carriers votes dangling in front
OF them-this is election year-the men,
bers Of the National Legislature will find
some way to authorize adequate of1-the-
street parking facilities and q general
improvement of the entire traf1ic problem.

A New Corner Safety Rule.

Another effort to stop the corner
parker is to be made by the Commits
sioners OF the District Of Columbia.
They have changed the wording in the
regulation SO that the prohibition will
be marked by "the existing line of
building" rather than the building
line"
1t Is hoped that the new regulation
will be upheld. which will give support
to the Commissioners in their efforts to
cut down the toll from automobile acci-
dents. Although the new rule will cut
down the parking space, this is of little
consequence when considered In con-
nection with the safety feature.
It does not take an extensive survey
to see that the automobile driver, in
many instances, considers little but his
own convenience when he jams his car
close to another when he sees little
open space near a corner. In so doing
the parker cuts down materially the vis-
ibility OF both motorists and pedestrians.
In many cases, particularly where streets
are the ordinary width, it reduces the
field Of vision to such an extent that q
driver in one direction cannot see an
other approaching car from a cross di-
rection until 1t Is too late, and what is
more serious, he may not see a pedes-
trian until the car is upon him. The
accident records are full Of reports at
tributed to the fact that the pedestrian
walked from the protecting screen of q
parked car.
There undoubtedly will be "test" Of
the new regulation In the courts by some
one who is ticketed for a violation but
1t Is believed and hoped that the great
majority of motorists will accept the
rule as one intended primarily for their
safety and for the thousands Of others
whs must cross the streets every day.

Lewis Speech on Social
Security Criticized.

To the Editor OF The Star:
THE writer has several times voted for
Congressman David ]. Lewis and
was therefore interested in his recent
speech on Social Security. in which he
took occasion to attack the record Of
Senator Tydings. Without doubling the
sincerity of Mr. Lewis enthusiasm for
the Social Security Act and giving him
I feel, nevertheless, that in his support Of
the New Deal he Is demonstrating his
inability to see the woods for the trees.
OF what avail would be Social Seeur-
ity Act If the Supreme Court packing
plan. of which Mr.. Lewis thoroughly
approved, had reduced the court to
political puppet. Had it not been for
the courage Of such Senators a. Tydings,
who dared to risk their political careers
by opposing a powerful President and
party leader. the destruction of an in
dependent court would have meant the
end of our system Of Government and
incidentally the end not only of social
security. but also Of political and re-
ligious liberty.
While on the subject of the Supreme
Court, it is interesting to speculate re-
garding security" II justices Of the type
of Hugo Black are appointed to the
court and sneak In by the back door.
Yet Mr.. Lewis approved the Black ap-
pointment, even after the Khan dis
closure Senator Tydings, on the other
hand, refused to be coerced into voting
for his confirmation and As q result
of this and other exhibitions Of political
courage is now being subjected to the
presidential purge.
I also wish to inquire regarding the
security provided by the c. I. O. and
it's sit-down strikes. However, I note
that the c. I. o. indorses Mr.. Lewis and
attacks Senator Tydings.
Finally, 1t should not be forgotten that
the social security taxes which are levied
alike on employer and employe, are being
used by the administration not only to
aid the aged and unfortunate, 50
knowingly described by Mr.. Lewis. but
also to pay current governmental ex-
penses. These expenses include, of
course, the salaries of the New Deal
propagandists who are now assisting in
the purge of Senators like Tydings who
refuse to surrender their condolences
and judgments to the President.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRAcEHELL.

John Wesley, We believe. was respons-
ible for that idea about cleanliness being
next to godliness.
Scientific discoveries Of this age have
shown how right he was and is.
To come into court with clean hands
there Is another old phrase meaning
much the same thing.
II we team up the two, We get 4 very
decided impression that physically clean
hands go q great way toward mental as
well as physical health.
Certainly those who handle books and
phonograph records, OF all persons ought
to wash their hands frequently.
Yet what have we?
Smudged pages. filthy records.
Every place you 60 you see despoiled
books and magazines, and some place
you find records which have the ap-
pearance Of being smeared with butter.
It Is not butter, however, but just the
oil Of unwashed fingers. to say nothing
Of cigarette ashes, npstick, and the like.
In such summer ~ this 1t IL impos-
sible to handle phonograph records de-
Gently without washing the hands and
drying them carefully hrst.
books by any one who loves them sin
page Is one Of the fairest things in the
world.
Those who like the domestic cat often
remark how cleanly the animals look,
yet they know that II the creatures are
not brushed regularly they really are
not clean.
A sojourn of the animal on 4 clean
bedspread quickly shows that even the
cleanest cat Is not exactly antiseptic in
q surgical sense.
But the page Of book Is almost that:
certainly as far as everyday possibilities
are concerned, = finely printed page is
not only q work Of art, but absolutely
clean in the best sense.
1t seems 4 great deal Of shame. then,
that any page should be paved over
while one is eating. or drinking, or
smoking, or when the hands are greasy,
as after eating upon occasion, or even
: simply dirty AZ the result Of handling
carbon papers.
There is q held here for extension OF
simple hygiene.
Not only do many people need admoni-
tion. in this respect, for the sake Of the
book. magazine or Newspaper, but they
would benefit by having more regard for
what they are reading
Even folks, and there are great many
Of them, who do nothing but look at
pictures, surely would come to q better
understanding and appreciation of them
II they regarded them OF enough worth
to keep clean.
The simple subject Of cleanliness, in
handling books, invariably would lead
around to the need for more physical
care in handling them.
This Is phase Of the matter many
otherwise nice persons totally overlook
Among the worst offenders are women,
who popularly are supposed to be made
Of sugar and spice and everything nice,
but that doesn't keep them from messing
up books and records.
Dog Tearing books, tearing the covers,
