Signs of a break appeared in the

Undaunted by the threat of court

owners, Mayor La Guardian ordered
a fleet Of 800 city-owned trucks to
continue delivery of perishable food
stuf1s and emergency relief shipments

Each truck was manned by an en-

The agreement was contingent on like
contribution to be divided equally be-
tween the State Of Virginia and the
County of Arlington under terms of the
Capper- -Cramton Act.
The County Board acted in response
to pleas by the Arlington County Civic
Federation and other groups, who were
fearful lest the whole memorial drive
program would be imperiled unless the
county assumed its share of the cost.
The board, while favoring the develop
ment, had made no provision for pay
ment Of the park assessment because of
opposition to any increase in county
taxes.
Evidencing a commendable desire to
cooperate with Federal authorities in
solving the problem, the board made a
special study of the matter this week
and arrived at the proposal made public
yesterday. The boards action is an
earnest of good faith and concrete
demonstration of the progressiveness and
public-spiritedness of the rapidly grow
ing community across the river. The
countys pledge of land and funds de-
serves the most serious consideration of
Federal officials.

The plan, approved by the County
Board at its meeting yesterday, calls for

payment" on the $4,000 which the
county must subscribe to insure an even
tual million-dollar parkway, to be con-
structed chiefly with Federal funds. In
addition, the county allotted $4,000 in
cash toward the project and virtually
pledged itself to see that the remainder
OF the sum is raised "by contributions
in cash or otherwise"
The State of Virginia already had ap-
propriated its $4,000 share toward the
development, under proposal whereby
the United States agreed to contribute
100000 for immediate construction of
one section of the scenic parkway along
the Virginia shore Of the Potomac River.

This Is Not the Time for
Americans to Be COwards
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is really impressive, the way they
talk about the danger that economic
sanctions against aggressor governments
may lead us into war 1t is true We do
not want war for anything But We have
TO put up with some things We do not
want in this world We hope to keep out
OF war. but can we do so by playing the
coward?
Shall we say we do not care if all the
rest OF the world does scorch in the fire
OF war, just so We ourselves-Americans
Yankees-can sit in the shade? Will
God bless us in such an attitude? Is
good luck likely to be with us? No, the
chances are We shall be compelled to 20
to war later on unless we do our duty
now.
We ought not to make war against
Japan or Italy. because making further
war simply increases the universal trou-
Bile. Yet we should take some risks, for
the sake Of peace. We ought to crack
down on them by means of economic
sanctions. No matter If it does hurt
their feelings.
When our G-men crack down on
domestic gangsters, the gangsters fight
back. But the prospect of that does not
deter the brave G-men Our timid
Americans are terribly afraid of what
the international gangsters may do If
we annoy them. But what will they do
If We let them alone? There is the rub
We do not have to go into war, and
we ought not to go into it for the sake
of balderdash national honor; nor yet
for the sake of our commercial in
terests, which are not our interests, but
the private interests of only few rich
men who are American citizens-and
perhaps not loyal American citizens at
that
But We can apply sanctions. If sane
tions lead to war" then they are merely
the path by which we travel toward war,
not the cause of our travelling If that
path leads to war, we may be sure that
any other path would lead the same
way.
The Japanese, Italians or Germans
cannot very well attack us at our home;
but if they should do so, we should do
our bit and take our luck as the sailors
say. This world is full of danger We
cannot get away from it by being

No Dictator.

Things have come to strange pass
in America when the President of the
United States feels it is necessary to
announce to the country that he has
no desire to be dictator" 1t is all
the more strange that the President
should have been impelled to arouse the
newspaper reporters in the middle of
the night to place this announcement
IN their hands. Does the President be-
Heve that the people are reaching the
conclusion that he has a desire to be a
dictator?
The Presidents announcement was
contained in letter defending the re-
organization bill, which has just passed
the Senate and is soon to be before the
House. The Chief Executive declared
that he had no inclination to be a
dictator, that he had none of the quail
fications which would make him a sue
cessful dictator and that he had too
much knowledge of existing Dictator
ships to make him desire such a form
OF government for America. This pro-
nouncement of the President, unusual
IN character as it is, must be considered
as another step in the fight for more
centralized control of the Government
IN Washington. 1t is designed to allay
fears which have been aroused by the
very bill which he defends.
The President made bad slip when
he issued statement Immediately after
the passage OF the reorganization bill
IN the Senate in which he said that It
had been proved that the Senate could
not be purchased" by kilograms mis-
representing the facts about the 1eor-
ganization bill. 1t left the Inference,
quickly seized upon, that these Senators
who voted against the bill had been
purchased or influenced improperly. 1t
was the kind of a statement that might
have been expected from a dictatorial
President, if not from dictator 1t was
an effort to crack down on his opponents
and to make the country believe they
were attempting to purchase" Senators.
1t is proper to ask the President If
he intended to convey the impression
that William Green president of the
American Federation of Labor, who was
working against the reorganization bill
was seeking to purchase Senators
And whether representatives of the
American Legion, of the organized dairy
men, of the American Federation of
Government Employees and of the Ma
tional Grange were seeking to do that
thing.
The haste with which the President
put out his statement last night that he
has no desire to be dictator, following
on bitter criticism in the Senate Of his
purchase" suggestion, seems to indicate
a desire to eradicate a feeling that was
spreading over the country.

Recalls a Century Run
of Bicyclists Long Ago
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Reference by John Clagett Proctor
in last Sundays Star to the Century Club
100-mile runs recalls memory of them
from a somewhat different angle.
AS small boy on my fathers farm
near Damascus back in the nineties, my
first knowledge of century run" was
on bright Sunday morning In spring
Immediately after the muddy roads had
dried sufficiently for good travelling
Instead of the usual horses which drew
our vehicle to church, my father hitched
up superannuated animal that had
been living on a pension for past faith
fulness, much to the chagrin of us
children.
It was explained that the century
runners" probably would be out in force,
what with the fine roads and weather,
and as all the other horses were skittish
and might become frightened at the
whizzing wheels and outlandish costumes
of the riders, it was safe to drive only
Old Tom.
The regular sitters on the porch of the
village general merchandise store de-
veloped considerable competition in
counting the passing bicyclists, and their
various reports were quoted throughout
the neighborhood for days
If any one knew the purpose of those
runs it did not filter down to me, and
was regarded, no doubt, as just crazy
notion of city folks. All we knew was
that it was a run Of approximately 100
miles from Washington to Frederick and
return, and that hundreds who had
nothing better to do participated therein.
You may be sure the roadsides were
well dotted with resters and cutters, and
certain farmers who possessed light
spring wagons engaged in the lucrative
business of hauling exhausted riders and
tncapacitated bicycles to the railroad
station some 10 miles distant.

cent progress. In the April issue Of
Events there is an arresting article en-
titled Turkey Marches On" It details
the constructive achievements of the
former Mustafa Kemal in developing
Turkish foreign relations, both political
and economic, and in remodeling the
nations life and character according to
the eclectic ideology" of the Ataturk
regime.
BY the time the Nazs reach the Bos-
phorus-if they ever do-they should
find, as the Events writer indicates, a
Turkey fully able to hold its own against
the brown shirt infidels. Matching
Nazi-ism. they will encounter "Kemal-
ISM" This divides" says Mr. Albert
H. Klyber, the Events author, accord
ing to the six arrows recently written
into the constitution, into republicanism,
democracy, nationalism laicism, revo-
luton, and etatism. These words all re-
quire special definition for Turkey. Re-
publiuanism includes the unique COM
bination of liberal constitution with
dictatorial leadership. Democracy is
most emphatically for the people, but
very slightly by the people. Nationalism,
perhaps, includes the usual undivided
devotion to ones country. Laicism is
separation of church and state. Revolu-
ton means unlimited loyalty to the last
revolution and complete adherence of
future revolution. Etatism is a name
for the peculiar Turkish brand of state
socialism, which tends to be the govern
mental form in Communist and Fascist
countries alike, and which in Turkey is
exalted as most salutary and in no wise
inharmonious with democracy"
Turkeys avowed ambition is to make
known to the world that the Turks of
today are the direct descendants of the
lands most ancient occupants, who had
the glory of founding there the worlds
oldest civilization When Hitler's Aryans
come down like wolf on Ataturk's fold,
despite Won Papen's spade-work, they are
likely to meet with resistance of sterner
fiber than Schnuschnigg's Austria was
able to offer.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
This has been the best season for the

This has been the best season for the
forsythia in recent years.
Both the popular variety and the
pendant one have blossomed 50 freely
that even persons who pretend to despise
this old favorite have had to admit its
beauty.
The forsythia was named after an
Englishman, Maj William Forsyth.
Many home owners today call this
shrub, in its most popular form, coarse
and unpleasant bush, but these structures
apply to it only in average seasons, not
to it's beauty in such spring as this.
Such clouds Of fine yellow are seldom
seen from it, let us admit. Perhaps that
is all the more reason we are ready to
pay it tribute when 1t finds conditions
just right.
Early spring, after a mild, winter
this brings the forsythia to the peak Of
It's form, evidently.
Maj. Forsyth brought the shrub from
China, its home.
too many shrubs and plants to name.
Practically all of them have done well
in America, but few better than the
forsythia. (There are two ways OF pro-
nouncing the name, by the way, for
sith-ia, and for-S -thia-take your choice.
The second is closest to the pronuncia-
tion of the discoverer's name, but the
first is heard most commonly In this
country
Forsythia viridissima is the most COM
mon form. The other is F. suspense,
whose name speaks for itself. The latter
is not so popular, but is best for wall.
The common form Of the forsythia is
background shrub par excellence.
It's planting by the house is not so
good, although perfectly all right if the
owner thereof prefers 1t that way, No
one should have too positive opinions in
such matters. In things horticultural,
truly, what is one persons meat is an
others (mentaD poison; there are no
hard and fast rules, except very dog
matte ones which may or may not hold
true.
If the best effect, however, is desired
from the common bush form OF the for
sythia, it is secured at some distance,
where the somewhat "leggy" appearance
is not noticed.
Then too, the peculiar yellow green of
the flowers, which come before the leaves
as all persons know. is seen at better
advantage from distance
This peculiar yellow is noted In the
scientific name. "viridissima," meaning
copper-like, referring to the greenish
tinge.
This greenish hue, in yellow, is very
offensive to some.
One of the charms of this years crop
OF blossoms has been more yellow, and
less green, than usual
In average years this admixture of
greenlsh hue is the best reason for put
ting the forsythia at some distance from
the house, preferab bly, at the back border
This season it has not made so much
difference.
Although the branches are sprawlv,
they have certain picturesque quality
when viewed from q distance.
This has been prominently displayed
