Proposes Set Of Rules
For Traffic Safety.
tn the Editor of Tha ataP.


The views expressed by certain citi-
zens' associations Of Washington, which,
apparently, have the backing Of the
Traffic Bureau of the city, lay the
blame for killing and manning pedes-
trians on "jaywalking" and not on the
uncontrolled and reckless automobilists.
1t seems to me 1t Is blind for those
who drive their cars on the wrong side
OF the street, who start before the green
light goes on and who constantly ex-
ceed the speed limit
Taxi drivers are great offenders and
while they may not have so many acci-
dents themselves, they cause many by
their "in and out" driving. Incidentally.
there are twice as many as necessary
on the streets.
comment, both as pedestrian and
an automobilist, which I have been since
1912 in washington and suburbs. I
travel by automobile daily from Is to
80 miles or more and have never run
into any person or into another car, as
my insurance record will show. On the
other hand have had my car run into
carelessly half dozen times when had
the right of way or was parked, and in
only two cases was the offending autoist
insured for damage to others. AS a
pedestrian in one case was run into
and severely injured by an automobile
which swung around from a side street,
driven by young man financially and
otherwise irresponsible.
The remedies offer are:
(a) For the city authorities to use
more care to determine ability and re-
sponsibility Of drivers in the issuance
Of licenses.
% Require motorists to carry acci-
dent insurance.
Co More policing. We need twice as
many police as at present IA good way
OF helping unemployment) to make
autoists keep on their proper side OF the
road and comply with the speed limits.
Cd Make 1t definite at crossing with
out lights whether north-south or east
west trafnc has the right of way.
(e) Require signals from q driver as
to which way he is about to turn.
Cd Prevent autoists, and especially
cab drivers, from starting at intersec-
tions before the green light goes on.
(g) On wide streets adjust lights 50

Fav0rs Stricter Control
OF Liquor Licensees.

To the Editor Of The Star:
think Mr.. Milton s. Kronheim should
be congratulated for urging the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board to re-establish
its former rules limiting the number of
liquor permits and prohibiting licenses
to places within 400 feet of schools.
The "fy-by-nighters," as Mr.. Kron-
helm calls them, should be eliminated
altogether. It is more important to elm
mate this type Of ucensee than 1t is to
have an iron-bound 4O0-foot regulation
protecting schools.

Germany Must Lead

If Chancellor Hitler and his Nazi
associates had the capacity for in
trospection they could not fail to
discern in themselves the real causes
for strained relations between the
German and American governments.
The true issue is not what the off,
cial German News Agency yesterday
declared, the utterances of Secretary
of Interior Ickes and the defense of
them offered by the American State
Department. It is an issue of hu-'
manity, growing out of an outraged
sense of justice among the American
people.
A little self denomination would
reveal also to the NaZi hierarchy
that the patience and forbearance
displayed so continuously by the
Government of the United States
and by the American people has not
been reciprocated. Friendly repre-
sentations, although frequent and
pointed, have met rebuff, bluster and
vituperation. A long-suffering spirit
of tolerance has evoked only new
and greater intolerance. Consider
alton for the rights of Germans in
this country has been rewarded by
increasing denial OF rights to Amer
leans in the Reich.
Human relations remain a pro-
found mystery to the Nazi masters.
Not only in their actions toward the
United States but toward every other
country in Europe, even Italy, they
have ignored the principle of reci-
procity, which is the very essence Of
friendship and good neighborliness.
Furthermore. they display cal
lous disregard for the feelings and
convictions Of other peoples with
whom they have to live in this world.
BY asking the American Govern
ment to disassociate itself from the
remarks OF Mr.. Ickes and other Gov
ernment officials who criticize con-
ditions in Germany, they demand
that the American Government re-
pudiate the dominant sentiment in
this country.
Our system of government is rep
resentative, not only in the sense
that we elect legislators to carry out
our will in the halls of Congress, but
in the sense, too, that the Govern
ment of the United States responds
to the will of the American people
at all times. This Government has
done nothing more in defending Mr..
1ckes than to respond to that public
demand that stern voice be given to
the disapproval with which German
actions are received in this country.
If, as the German News Agency
points out, the hope for improved
relations between Germany and
America "lacks every foundation" as
long as this Government refuses to
repudiate the accurate expressions
of the American feelings by Amer
lean officials, it is not likely that
amity will be restored very soon.
If, however, the Berlin government
gives some concrete evidence that
1t desires friendship with America
by respecting its obligations, giving
Justice where justice is due, ceas-
ing its prosecutions and showing
that it wishes to live as respecting
and respected member of the family
Of nations, then we have every rea-
son to believe that friendly relations
can soon be restored
But Germany must lead the way.

Democratic Senators Barred
From T. v. A. Post.
To the Editor Of The Star:

rEOU i. " "A. FOSt.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
On several occasions The Star has
mentioned the possibility of the appoint
ment Of either Senator Pope or Senator
Donahey to the board of the Tennessee
Valley Authority. Neither of these gen.
tlemen can be appointed without direct
violation of the T. v. A. Act. The Ten
nessee Valley Authority Act put that
body into politics by specifying that not
more than two members of the board
should be Of the same politica! party.
AS the two incumbents in ONCE are
Democrats, the appointment Of another
Democrat Is barred, so the vacant place
will have to be filled by the appointment
of Republican, Socialist or a Com
munist. JAMES E. CASSIDY.

Shooting Stors
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,

At Any Price.
I'm looking for harmony, bring me an ak
And a gun and couple of knives.
We want no more quarrels our patience
to tax;
No strife to embitter our lives.
I know there is just one reliable way
To stop the belligerents' fun,
And that's with an ak, welded well in
the fray,
Or couple of knives and a gun.
'Tis very old plan and with primitive
man
It is rated especially high.
The cannibal chief loves to marshal his
clan
'Gainst other bold chieftains nearby.
And after the fight in benevolent mirth
His people about him he'll call,
And placidly say We've no foeman on
earth
Because we have eaten them all"

OFFICIALS MEET
KEEP LID" ON
NUMBERS GAME
Police Report Racket
Is Virtually Dead

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April
8.-Prince Georges county police
authorities today are mapping
plans to prevent a wholesale shift
Of numbers racketeers from Wash
tngton into the county to escape
the new antinumberS law in the
District.
Judge Joseph. C. Mattingly, Of
the Circuit Court, warned the
grand jury to be on the lookout
for an outbreak of numbers
racket and attendant petty crime.
PROSECUTION HAMPERED
Prince Georges County is limit
ed in its power to prosecute rack
eteers by the inadequacy of the
general antigambling law of Mary
land which is similar to the old
law in Washington. Under the
Maryland law the gambler must
be caught in the actual act of max
ing a play and police must produce
the numbers slip and cash passed
as evidence in order to gain a
conviction. AS a result only two
cases of numbers racEeteering have
been brought to the courts here in
the past two years.,
LITTLE HOPE HELD
Although it is known that rack.
eteerS operate in the county, and
that one of the principal head
quarters of the racket is situated
in Blandenburg near the District
line, authorities hold small hope
OF being able to curb a deluge of
racketeering unless the Maryland
law is amended to conform with
the new District legislation.
This necesSitateS an act by the
State Legislature, which does not
convene again until 1899.
