McCarran Reprieved.

The Democrats of Nevada have not
seen fit to carry out the death sentence"
that their silvery-haired Senator pat"
McCarran said had been imposed upon
him for the important part he played in
defeating the Presidents Supreme Court
bill.
But, although the outcome of the
Nevada primary was not seriously in
doubt, there was considerable element
Of surprise in the decisiveness of his
victory over two 100 per cent New
DEAL opponents.
The result probably has no great
significance in 50 far as the Presidents
personal prestige is concerned. Although
there is no doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt re-
sented the Senator's opposition to the
court bill and other New Deal measures,
he did not ask for Senator McCarran's
defeat nor did he indorse either of his
primary opponents.
But there was one significant factor
IN the contest which will not be over,
looked at the White House. Senator
McCarran straddled no fences in an
nouncing that he would support the
President when the latter was right, but
that he reserved the right to oppose

Byrd Upheld for Seeking
Election Of Lewis.

Election Of Lewis.
To the Editor Of The Star:
READ with interest the article in The
Sunday Star entitled "'Curley Crawls
Out on Limb" which raises the ques-
tion Of just what constitutes politics"
Curly Byrd is a Well-educated man,
having studied at four colleges and hav-
ing received honorary doctors degrees
from two. He has been associated with
all sections of American life and has had
the responsibility for and keen interest
in the thousands of young men and
women who have entered the University
OF Maryland as students. These students
for the most part, have represented prac-
tically every corner of the State of
Maryland. There is no man in Mary
land today who knows the hopes and
fears, ambitions and weaknesses of the
honest Maryland citizens better than the
man who has been fellow student stu
dent counselor and friend to these thou
sands of citizens as well as to their sons
and daughters.
Is it not possible that "Curly'-having
personally seen the savings of many of
these people wiped out by the "old deal'
gamblers, the homes of both city people
and farmers lost through foreclosure,
the farmers unable to sell their produce.
the city workers walking the streets, and
the young graduates of 1929-1933 unable
to embark on their chosen life's work
is not disgusted with the obstruction
istic" practices of his personal friend
the "Republcratic" Senator Tydings?
Senator Tydings voted against most
of the New Dear' measures and then
turned around and accepted benefits
from them. He lent his name to the
American Liberty League and now tries
to tell the citizens of Maryland that he
supported the bone and sinew' of the
New Deal.
No New Dealer or any other American
citizen has any objection to honest oppo-
sition and criticism. but when it appears
in the form as practiced by the anti
Roosevelt candidates it is the duty of the
President to remind the voters that our
bank deposits are now safe-that their
homes and the homes of many of their
neighbors have been returned to them
that the farmer is relatively better off in
1888 than in 1882 despite the attempt Of
spectators to depress prices and produc-
ton in 1937-that the city workers have
been given security against Vnemploy-
ment and old age-that deserving. young
people have been kept in school..and
that upon graduation most of them can
now find employment. Despite the ad-
mitted mistakes inevitable in any new
program, the New Deal is working

A Tear for Julia.
From the Akron Times Press.


In the midst of the carnival of carnage
that Is Spain today, the death of Julia,
the elephant, does not seem very i'm
portant.
But it is sad, none the less, for Julia
was the elephant which brought so much
Joy to Spanish children in Barcelona
News dispatches say she died from poor
feed, "just as much a war casualty as If
she had been a combatant"
With what arrogance men captured
Julia in some tropical forest, exulting
that their intelligence was able to tri-
umph over her mighty and superior
strength! With what condescension
they chained her and exhibited her, and
made toy for their children to olay
with!
Yet all that boasted intelligence, all
that assumed superiority, all that brain
that makes man lord it over the mere
animal, kingdom, were not enough to ar
range affairs so that the poor captive
beast might be fed!
A tear for Julia, then, and perhaps it
is just as well that We do not know
whether, in some far-off elephant

pachyderms heavily trumpet their con-
tempt for man, 50 clever, 30 wise, and

That definitely does not fit in with the
Presidents conception Of the ideal Demo-
cratic Senator As one who votes ac-
cording to the desires OF the party leader.
regardless Of what the Senator's personal
convictions may be. The size of the
McCarran vote clearly indicates that
the Nevada Democrats do not want that
kind Of Senator.
1t was Senator McCarran Who took
the floor of the Senate during the clos
ing days of the court bill fight to deliver
what in many respects was the most
dramatic speech CT that bitter struggle.
AS member OF the Judiciary Committee,
which had the bill under Consideration,
Senator McCarran had been subjected
to unusual pressure and charged. among
other things, that Postmaster General
Farley had stated publicly that he would
lose the favor of the White House unless
he supported the court measure. To that
the Nevada Senator replied In a speech
that did much to swing sentiment
against the bill:
He wrote my death warrant and he
knew it, and I may be delivering my
valedictory by reason of Mr.. Farley.
Perhaps I am to be read out CT the
party, but would rather go down hold
ing the helm OF the ship of state safe
through these troubled waters than
would to return to the Senate of the
United States, Notwithstanding the fact
that that is an honor not second even TO
the presidency, as I view It,"

Karl Langenbeck.

Washington, in its character as Capital
of tne United States, brings together
great numbers Of men whose principal
concern is politics. Also, as the cultural
center Of the Nation, the city attracts at
least as many men devoted to the
sciences and the arts-professional seek
ers for the truth and makers of the
beautiful.
To the latter company Karl Langen-
beck belonged. He was, in solemn fact,
a king in his chosen field of effort.
Meeting him casually, however, no
stranger could have guessed his eminence
nor detected his fame. He wore modesty
and reticence with such grace that they
were as much his own as the color of his
eyes or the skill Of his hands. Yet he
had earned celebrity by the exercise Of
authentic genius. 1t was his function
in life to carry forward the work OF the
most notable potters Of the past. He
was ceramic engineer, chemist, inventor
and teacher. Applying modern methods
to the porcelain and tile industries. he
did for America what August Segar did
for Germany. 1t is not an exaggeration
to claim for him credit for large portion
OF the progress which pottery, especially
in Ohio, has accomplished since 1898.
He purified china clay, perfected new
ways for glazing mosaics, devised a
process for manufacturing paving brick
from waste materials, designed new tech
niques for laying tile floors, originated
the lovely Rookwood faience and aven-
turine glazes, was successfully a member
Of the faculty OF Miami Medical College,
chief ceramist of the Tariff Commission
and consultant engineer at the National
Bureau of Standards. His career was
integrated from first to last to cultural
service, to civilization in the best mean
ing of the term; his achievements were
socialized in purpose and effect far
beyond the dream OF the political
reformer
Perhaps, Mr.. Langenbeck was of a
school which is passing. If so, the cir
cumstance is to be regretted Such indi-
viduals, exempt from coercion, born
thinkers and doers, are needed. When
understood, they are appreciated and
loved.

By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

leap out Of tank filled within an inch
Of the top.
The old-style tank filled only about
half full. is not good looking, and 1t de-
prives the animals Of half their water
and swimming space.
But If a tank is filled to half an inch
OF the top, the slightest friskiness on the
part Of the fishes is liable to precipitate
one upon the floor.
The sensible thing, therefore, is to
put cover lid over it. The beginner
thinks this keeps out the air." but it
does no such thing-air is not easily
kept out of anything. 1t takes
vacuum to do it.
Autumn is a good time to start little
aquarium because it presents certain
problems definitely and without hesita-
ton. The first of these is water warmth.
(We are talking of tropical fishes, re-
member)
Persons who begin this hobby in the
hot summer seldom realize that these
bits Of life come from pools and small
streams far to the south, which never
go below 60 degrees the year around.
And not only that-the fishes get all
the oxygen in the world and plenty of
live food, SO that they are able to stand
such low" temperatures for time.
In the indoors, where they seldom get
perfect conditions. they seldom are able
TO stand such low"
Hence it is necessary to see that the
water never goes below 10 degrees at
any time. There are few fishes with
which this rule may be violated-the
guppy is one Of them-but it is a basic
requirement.
Autumn, with its changeable days and
nights, enforces this rule as nothing else
can.
The person who starts with guppies
now, and carries them along until the
furnace comes on is going to realize for
the rest of his active interest in this
fine indoor sport that tropical specimens
lust be kept warm.
This warm" of course, is not really
warm. One has but to put finger in a
tank kept between 10 and 80 degrees to
realize how cool, after all, such tenn
peratures are.
The guppy is good specimen to be-
gin with. because it can stand real
drop without undue harm, provided it
is in good health, has been fed properly,
and there are no inimical microscopical
forms Of life to take advantage of the
coidness.

Medicine in Court.

Two weeks hence a group of Washing
ton laymen, constituting a grand jury,
will start An investigation to determine
whether the Medical Society of the Dis
trict of Columbia is engaged in monopo-
listic practices such as constitute it q
trust.
Admittedly it requires of its members
not only tested professional qualifications
but adherence to q code of ethics. It
hardly differs at all from organized
American medicine everywhere. In every
State there are similar constituent
bodies of the American Medical Associa-
tion with almost precisely the same
qualifications for membership. If the
grand jury finds the local society in
violation of the law the finding will
shake the foundations Of the organized
profession Of healing everywhere.
1t may conceivably be that the crgani-
zation of the profession is not in the
best interests OF the public. 1t may
conceivably be that it does not comply in
all technical details with a law intended
to ensure free competition in dealing
with commodities which are quite differ
ent from medical services and, in the
final analysis, years of human living. The
grand jury will be composed of laymen,
but it is hardly to be expected that, in
considering this vital matter, they will
not make a clear distinction between
such commodities" as surcease Of pain
and preservation Of life on the one
hand and potatoes or gasoline on the
other.
1t will not be the grand jury's re-
sponsibility of course, to consider the
social implications of whatever decision
it may reach. Its only responsibility will
be to determine whether there is rea-
sonable evidence that the organized
medical group actually has violated
existing law. If it does find such
evidence it will be necessary to return
indictments. But such indictments may
well be quite different from their appear
ance on the surface-in effect not in
dictments of the medical society but of
the law itself that renders them possible
The grand jury, it may we'll be, will
have in its hands the power to break
up the organization of American
medicine. 1t is an organization that may
be faulty, that may be vastly improved
upon.N But it is the organization with
which the average length of life has
been more than doubled in half CEN
tury. The grand jury will do well to
bear in mind throughout its investiga-
ton the vast responsibility placed on
its shoulders.

This is a nice time Of year to start q
tropical fish aquarium.
The fish to begin with, Of course, is
the famous guppy, that spotted mite
which adapts itself so well to indoor
life.
The beginning aquarium enthusiast,
and the old hand at toe sport, unite in
their praise OF this lively little fellow.
The size Of the guppy makes 1t easily
kept in small tank; its liveliness en-
sures the owner an always interesting
picture.
A pair of guppies do nicely in as little
as quarts Of water, OF which some
has been displaced by sand and plants.
More water than this, however, is best,
and should always be provided. Ger
tainly no tank holding less than 2
gallons should be purchased in the rec
tangular shape, which is the best from
all standpoints.
more slowly 1t cools off. This is an
important point with tropical fishes,
especially in the fall, before house heat
comes on.
The more water, the slower the cooling,
which means that the fishes will not
receive the shock of too sudden change,
an unnatural process which they seldom
if ever are forced to undergo in nature.
Even the smallest outdoor pool cools
OFT slowly
A sudden cold night will not cool such
a pool more than two or three degrees;
this can be tested by placing the hand
in it next morning.
the contrast between the air and the
water is noticeable
1t can be imagined that an indoor
aquarium would cool off slowly, even IN
a cool room, provided the windows were
not left open at night.
No windows should be left open in any
room in which tropical fishes are kept.
The rate of temperature fall is espe-
cially SLOW as it should be, If a glass
cover lid is kept over the aquarium.
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing Of the purpose of this, glass lid. so
universally advocated by experienced
keepers Of tropical fishes in aquaria.
1t is not used, as some seem to think,
to keep dust out Of the water.
Its principal uses are three: To per-

possible. to keep the fishes from jumping

way or the other.

Loans to Ex.COnvicts.

Wilbur La Roe, jr, chairman Of the
Parole Board, has called attention to a
serious problem confronting the COM
munity in connection with the release
Of prisoners from Lorton Reformatory.
In 4 letter to Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee he has de-
clared that inadequacy of rehabilitation
funds is tending to force former con-
Ncts back into careers of crime.
Because Of drastic reduction in the
gratuity fund, authorities at Lorton are
unable to give departing prisoners more
than five or six dollars, Mr.. La Roe said.
With this meager handout the re
formed" convict is expected to re-enter
the community and re-establish himself
as self-supporting citizen. More often
than not he finds society anything but
sympathetic and cooperative in his
efforts to get back on "the straight and
narrow path" His Jew dollars soon are
gone and often he must choose between
want and easy money" to be found out
side the law.
The Government spends thousands of
dollars in teaching prisoners trades, only
to turn them out into a world where
jobs are few-especiAlly for those who
have "a record" 1--WE are almost tnvit-
ing these men to commit new crimes, !"

To remedy the situation, at least in part.

ing fund, possibly to be administered
