To the Editor of The Star.
THE sickening slaughter Of shade trees
along K street is one more profitable
project for the cement trust that has
been put over on the voteless District. Let
it be recalled that when announcement was
recently made Of the street widening pro-
gram it was accompanied by the specious
assurance that mo trees would be dis
turbed"
The time has come for residents of WASH
ington to ask If there Is anything except
automobile and cement interests that has
any value in communal life.
A hideous cash is chopped through the
center Of once lovely city through which
few more cars can rush little faster.
But what about the thousands of resi-
dents that still live on K street and the
tens Of thousands that daily walk through
it, condemned to broil in the shadeless
summer sun and to sicken on gas fumes,
deprived Of the protection of the leafy
verdure that once absorbed the carbon
monoxide?
And what about the historic elrns of
Washington Circle? Are they likewise
slated to be slaughtered in this present
contractors holiday And If so who has
so decreed?
Is any one so simple minded as to sup
pose that our traffic problem will really be
solved" by these vandalisms or even that
this is the real reason for the destruction?

Favors Old Benning Race
Track as Ideal Airport Site.
YOUR paper Of April a carried front
page article dealing with the airport
situation which stated, among other things,
that the undersigned had appeared before
the House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds in behalf Of the Capital Air
port (Bladensburg) site. I wish this state
Inent to be corrected. The writer has never
been able to see any other site for the pro-
posed municipal airport than the old Ben
ming race track, and has consistently urged,
advocated and campaigned for this site
since 1927.
At last the people of Washington have
come to realize the absurdity Of "manufac-
turing" an airport at Gravelly Point when
solid high level ground is available in the
District Of Columbia. There can be no
Justification for spending great sums for an
airport outside the District Of Columbia

proximately 500 acres lie in the tract
bounded by Benning road, Kenilworth ave-
nue.. Nash street and Anacostia River, ap-
proximately 100 acres of which is owned by
the Federal Government and could be given
as the Federal Governments share in the
cost. WILLARD A. DRIGGERS.

Municipal Parking Lots Are the
Only Sure Solution Of Traffic Problem.

Munlc1pal Farklng LOtS Are the
Only Sure Solution Of Traffic Problem.
To the Editor OF The Star:
r ECENT proposed parking restrictions
are as amusing as they will probably
prove futile, for they aggravate rather
than mitigate the traffic problem. No one
disputes the theory that street cluttered
up with parked vehicles is not conducive
to the easy flow Of traffic, and hence, q
cause OF accidents But 1t is indeed diff
cult to understand the reasoning which
proposes additional restrictions in city
already heavily restricted and burdened
with parking worries. without making pro-
visions for the vehicles outlawed.

tons tradac problem and talk about how

bad it is, when the solution is so apparent.
The logical course is to create several CEN
trally located municipality owned parking
facilities which would sustain themselves
for small daily charge. This would take
thousands of vehicles from the streets and
allow unhampered flow of traffic, giving
two additional lanes in the streets where
parking could then be entirely prohibited,
and would be God-send to those who now
refuse to drive their automobiles downtown
because of exorbitant parking rates.

Atrocities on Both Sides
In the War in Spain.

To the Editor Of The Star: J.
WITH the latest copy Of "Ken" in one
hand, the bulletin of the Friends of
Spanish Democracy in the other and q
copy Of the Daily Worker before me, I am
impelled to take up cudgel in protest
against the flood of pro-Loyalist sentiment
that is emanating from those who sympa-
thize with the legal Spanish government.
I think that far too much sympathy is
being wasted upon the Loyalists and far too
much venom is being. poured out upon the
heads of the rebels.
As logical individual am sickened by
the ease with which the reading public has
been 80 gulled by the Loyalist sympathizers.
Actually the only point the haranguers
nave to go on Is that the Loyalist govern
ment Is the recognized government in
Spain, the one with which we have diplo-
matte relations. The rest of their appeals
must be either panderings to sentiment or
cheap misrepresentation. Neither Loyalist
nor rebel is an angel.
When the pro-Loyalist propaganda ma
chine gets busy it turns out beautiful
piece of work. Cries of horrors rise up
when Earnest Hemingway turns on the
steam, but few dispatches are found to tell
OF the inhumanities of the Loyalists. Ac-
cording to the few accounts I have heard
the prisoners whom the Loyalists have
taken are being treated no less kindly than
the Loyalists who have been captured by
the rebels. A Spaniard is Spaniard, and
when the chance to taste blood is his 1t
doesn't matter much which side he is on.
War Is the same yesterday. today and
forever. Atrocity will be the cry from both
sides. We should not let the stories of one
side outweigh the stories Of the other In our
judgment of the worth of either.

But if you were contented, it stayed
quietly with you.
Mary was in. She had been prac-

array Of music. Her longing pa
iamas were Of a. dull rose that grew
paler beside the vibrant color of
Judy's tam and coat.
Judy never knew, afterWard, how
she led into the subject of her call.
She only knew that presently she
was saying:
Craig loves you so, Mary. He
told me about it on the telephone
two weeks ago. I thought then he
would win you back almost at once.
I'm an old friend, that's ALL"
She mustn't remember that once
she had regarded him s the old
friend, and he had protested his
love for her. That was long ago.

"You think so?" Mary's dark
eyes were shining with tears. Life
isn't any good without him..
ooh, I know" whispered Judy,
but the words stayed in her heart.
Not any good at all!
MAY I tell you how we met ?"
Mary asked, as though she wanted
a confdante. IT'D Hike to have you
know"
Judy had not thought ne
would ever know. Yet here was the
answer to oh her uaaslked ques-
lions.
IT was with my aunt at this
house party. It was a large one
and the house was palatial- golf
course, tennis courts, swimming
pool, verandas along the lake, and
tea houses. Even a moon that
looked as though it had been pol
ished for the occasion"
IT remember-it was a perfect
weekend" Yes, she remembered.
It was that weekend she had
stayed in town, waiting for Craig
to hurry home so she could tell him

Judy nodded. Mary was sweet:
and sympathetic. It would be she
that the eccentric, hostess would
keep from the water sports.
Mrs. Cabot the hostess looked;

Judy waited, only her heart ask

'sHe said that the girl he wanted
didn't believe in love and marriage.
Then Mrs. Cabot said there were
other girls, and asked him why he
didn't marry me. All the time we
were drinking tall glasses of iced
tea. Craig looked at me and smiled
and laughed at the idea. He said
some nice things. oh, perfunctory,
expected ones, of course but he
took me sailing before dinner.
"At first it was all in fun. We

could see how this marriage had
happened. He had found Mary

Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-09-12
CHAPTER IA

IT WAS A normal, friendly con
versation such as any two ole
friends might have that Judy
shared with Craig. She pretended
that she had called to tell him how
much she liked Mary.
"You are lucky. Craig. She's love-
ly."
isn't she, Judy? ! knew you
would think so, too" He said 1t
'reverently, as though he spoke OF
the Madonna, Easter, or the Christ
mas star. There were miles OF
shining wires between the room in
which Craig sat, as he talked to
Judy and the boudoir at Marjorie's
where she lounged on the chaise
lounge as she talked. There were
long strips of street, and acres OF
buildings, but across their pulsing
beat Judy caught that note Of wor-
ship. All, now she knew. Craig
did love Mary. But loyalty to an
Iold devotion had caused him to lose
her. He had not failed her, Judy.
She would not fail him.
She spoke slowly. "Craig, Mar
tories told me that Mary believed
You married too quickly, and should
have some time to consider. I know
better. I'm sorry"
THANKS, Judy. Let's forget it,
shall we? Maybe Mary grew
afraid of her voice. Three days is
such a small slice out of life
time"
"But you are sure?"
Absolutely"
$50 is she. Go tell her, Craig.
She's so helpless and she loves you
So"
"Judy, you are about the grand
est person minus one who ever
lived. No. I'll not make even one
exception"
! But Craig did not win his suit
with Mary. Marjorie, who few to
the coast for two weeks. told Judy
about it when she returned. Judy,
meantime, had not found a job. She
amused herself on rainy days by
making. sketches. She revamped
some of her own clothes. She sold
a set of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA so she could eat.
{ '"They were hard to digest mem
tally anyway" she consoled the
gap in her book shelves. "a ham,
burger and some beans will be
much easier on my system. Be-
sides. there are always libraries
with encyclope If there is any
thing have to know"
Judy decided, as she talked to
Marjorie, that she would go to
Mary. IF it was over her that this
foolish misunderstanding had
arisen, it was up to her to right it.
One Of her black dresses had
been renovated merely because she
felt creative. She put it on, and
hunted for provocative rose tur-
ban in her hat box. A rose coat,
short and fitted, finished the ensem-
BILE.
"I'H give Craig back to you, Mary
Banner" she said under her breath
as she rang Mary's bell. "I'E re-
turn him all wrapped up in white
tissue paper with big blue bow on
the package. Only, Mary, my dear,
Inever had him. You don't UNDER
stand that. He loves you. That's
why I'm coming. It's real love,
Mary. . Grasp it tightly. Lock it
up. Love seldom-lasts."
No. that was not right advice.
Love must be free. Free to blow
where it would. IF there were walls,
it would Climb them. IF there were
a gate, it would find tn latch. Love
was like mercury. If you tried to
pick it up, it spread and spread.
