Prince Georges Crime.

An amazing demonstration of
laxity in law enforcement is being
given in Prince Georges County this
week. After deadline set by the
States Attorney for the removal of
slot machines had expired, police
made no effort to remove them. It
was not until an ex-deputy sheriff,
now a private detective, voluntarily
impounded forty-two machines for
which he was agent, that the opera
ton OF single machine was stopped.
The detective, Republican, who
has criticized the Democratic county
police force on numerous occasions
in the past, also announced he would
swear out warrants for all other slot
machine operators in the county.
Ever since the Maryland Court of
Appeals decided several months ago
that the State Legislatures effort to
license slot machines to raise revenue
for relief purposes was unconstitu-
tional, the attitude of the law en-
forcement agencies in Prince Georges
has been the object of much criti-
ciSm. While other Jurisdictions acted
promptly after the courts ruling to
ban the machines, no steps were
taken in Prince Georges until the
grand jury met and specifically
recommended that the devices be
banned. The States Attorney then
set deadline, but when reporters
noticed after it expired that the
machines were still in operation
their attention was called to the
impending election.
Granted that the operation of slot
machines may not be major crime,
the situation in Prince Georges
nevertheless is of concern to the
entire Washington area because, in
the public mind, it supports the long.
standing belief that Prince Georges
is county of lax law enforcement.
This public conception is chiefly the
result Of years OF futile, comic opera
efforts to close notorious gambling
establishment just across the District
line.
Tightening of the gambling laws in
Washington will never be as effective
as it should be as long as law breakers
can move across the District line to
jurisdiction where organized gam
bling flourishes.
The slot machine fiasco has q
peculiar timeliness. 1t comes Just
before the election. In the few days
remaining before they 60 to the polls

the workers choice-has been largely
accomplished.
There Is a further consideration
which would arise should the act be
amended in any important respect.
II Congress, for example, should
decide to give employers the right to
petition the board for an election to
determine proper employe-repre-
Sentatives, the present members
would find themselves in a delicate
situation.
Although the act does not deny
employers that right, the board has
ruled that it may be exercised only
by employe groups. Mr.. Madden's
statement reaffirms the boards belief
that employers should not be given
the privilege of seeking an election
to determine bargaining representa-
tives Of employees. It follows that if
the act should be amended in that
respect (or in any other way, the
present board members would be in
the position of having to administer
an amendment which they had op-
posed.
If such a situation should arise it
might be that the board members
could overcome their personal preju-
dices, but it would not be surprising
If the public had misgivings on that
point.

Drastic action should be taken at

it would be better to let them lose

become duck soup for the sorely

Comparative Notes on
Organized Control.

To the Editor Of The Star:
It is reported that Menuhin cannot
play in the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra unless he joins the union. So
no matter how great the artist or his
art, unless he belongs to the union, to
the proper organization, he is disquali-
fed. Sounds a little like Germany,
where if you do not belong to the Nazis
you are nothing. Human accomplish
ment does not count, you must belong
to the organization. The union claims
it improves the lot of the musicians.
Haven't the Nazis given Germany q
place in the sun? The unions claim q
majority and therefore should have COM
plete control. Haven't the Nazis ma
jority of the German people, therefore
they have complete control.
Yes, the Department of Justice is
after the doctors for restraint of trade
because the majority of doctors have an
organization which claims to regulate all
doctors. But Menuhin cannot play un-
less he joins the union.
Why wonder why the world is in such
mess-and why a month ago people
were praying to Almighty God to do
something about it? Is the Lord re-
sponsible for the mess? A. E.. c.

Trouble at Reaches Run

Something insidious is happening
at Reaches Run, across the Potomac,
where the Government has been con-
ductilg another of it's experiments in
the realm of regimentation and re-
lief. The victims of the regimenta-
tion have been wild ducks which fire.

ostensible purpose being to check on
the migrations of the feathered
transients by means of metal bands
affixed to their legs. AS an induce
ment, the Government offered the
birds subsidy in the way of grain
and other tasty morsels.
Everything went along smoothly
for a while, with the ducks greatly
enjoying this business of being on
relief and not particularly minding
the banding aspect-until a certain
day when willy old drake who had
been fed, banded and released was
spied sneaking back into the bread
line. Officials shut their eyes at first
to this bit of chiseling, but before
long other shameless migrants were
discovered coming back for more re-
lief. They liked it so much that the
inevitable has happened. The old
drake has called a sit-down strike
for bigger and better handouts.

We recall when that rose was first intro
duced to rose lovers; it was not more
than twelve years ago, but hundreds of
new species have gone over the rose mill
since.
This one was found to be difficult to
raise to perfection in ordinary garden
practice, hence was replaced by another

hand, the Vile de Paris.

Red roses are next,

make his task easier, and, everything

tory. If he will stick to pink and red
roses.
Ihese are favorites everywhere, any,
way, under many names, but all indubi-
taoiy red and pink, in the last ANALYSIS.
Mainly, they are favorites because thev

quire the coddling which the more fancy

Bone meal is one of the best rose foods.
Nor is it necessary to provide it in the
finely ground bone which is made for
this purpose.
bone meal of ordinary consistency
is good enough.
The best roses we ever had were Sc
cured as the result of giving each bush

fertilizer.
On this simple feeding plan these roses
did so extremely well that one amateur
grower has never forgotten them.
1t is well for the beginner thinking
about the roses he hopes to grow next
year. to keep in mind that sunshine is of
more importance than water.
The proposed place of planting should
be in full sun all day long, if possible.
Roses planted in such a location have
the full benefit of the suns antiseptic
powers, as well as the greater stimulus
in growth. 1t is just as well to remember
that roses are shrubs after all, and are
pretty tough, given the conditions which
are proper for them Well-grown roses
are the only kind which are likely to
bloom in late autumn,

Pleasant COmmendation
And q Friendly Wish.

To the Editor of The Star:
How pretty you look in your nice new
dress. It's quite charming. There be
some who will miss the capped headings
for a while, but they'll fall in love with
the lower-cased heads before they know
it.
And that new body type! 1t will de-
light no one more than the old-time
printers, for two reasons. First, it is
about as near an ideal face as could be
procured for newspaper; and second,
it is getting back to first principles-the
days when "minion" 1-poin) was the
standard for newspaper, newspaper
columns were quarter-inch wider, and
the old-time typos could run up 1000
ems in jigtime.

MIR. Madden Speaks.

The members of the National La
Dor Relations Board, if it NAV be
assumed that they occupy a quasi
Judicial status, have placed them
selves in a curious position by
announcing through Chairman J.
Warren Madden that they do not
believe the Wagner Labor Relations
Act is in need of amendment. In
appraising the propriety of that
statement it is necessary to consider
the circumstances under which it
was made and the effect it might
reasonably be expected to have.
Mr.. Madden made the statement
IN response to questions from report
ers as he and his associates, Edwin
S. Smith and Donald w. Smith. were
leaving the White House after a
conference with the President.
Considering that the statement was
made on the eve of the congressional
elections, with proposals to amend
the Wagner Act playing an impor-
tant part in several State contests,
1t seems fair to assume that Mr..
Madden hoped to aid candidates
opposed to any change in the law.
as against opponents favoring some
modlfication. That, in any event,
was probable result which he could
hardly have failed to foresee.
In this day and age it may not be
considered high crime for a public
official, even though he be quasi
judicial officer, to take sides in a
legislative controversy that has po-
litical ramifications. It has been
done before and will be done again,
but that does not alter the fact that
Chairman, Madden and his associ-
ates, by taking stand against the
proposed amendments at this time,
have made it abundantly clear that
their minds are closed to complaints
that the law in it's present form is
unfair to the employer. It is obvious,
therefore, that unless the act is
amended labor will continue to ap-
pear in the role of favored litigant
in future controversies before the
board, despite the fact that the

THIS AND THAT

The last rose Of autumn

The last rose of autumn
It hung brightly on lattice, no doubt
scenting the cool air, but we were not
close enough to smell it.
All we could do was to see its cerise
beauty, brave and perfect flower after
ell its mates were gone.
Sometimes in this climate individual
blooms come into being as late as Christ
mas. Usually this is upon some good
specimen of Radiance or Red Radiance
planted upon its own roots.
This is a hardy bush, anyway, and
when it gets to growing well in a good
location on its own, it is just little bet
ter than specimens with dog-rose roots.
1t is difficult to get own-root roses.
Most Of the specimens for sale in the
spring are grated, and most Of them do
very well, too.

Yet 1t remains that the only rose we

A lady canvasser who happened along
was so struck by the display that she
almost forgot what she was trying to sell.
Yes, it was bit unusual, indeed, a rose

1t can stand an amazing amount of
drouth, but falls easy prey to black-spot

This is good time of year to think
about roses.
Some experts even recommend fall as
the best planting time. This column.
while not posing as expert on rose grow
ing, has spent great deal OF time, and
some money, on roses We have planted
them in both spring and fall, and prefer
spring. and here's why:
Put in nice dormant bush in the fall
and worry over 1t every time the weather
grows bitter.
Plant it in the spring, there is no such
perturbation.
Rose growing, after all, is as much a
matter for the mind as for the back and
leg muscles.
The best thing about fall for consider
ing roses is that when the real planting
time comes along, and all nature is in
tune, when the little lambs do frisk< and
play, by that time the home gardener
has decided just which species he wants
to plant.

mental chore earlier, he finds himself

Observations on Conditions
Existing in Spain.

A1AAotAuS OQ&10.
To the Editor of The Star.
I have just returned from a visit to
republican Spain after having attended,
as an American delegate, the sessions
OF the International Conference of Child
Aid Committees and the World Peace
Congress called on the initiative of the
Reassemblement Universal Pour La Paix.
which latter organization embraces all
shades Of political and religious opinion
throughout the globe. The r. U. P. was
much shocked by the activities of the
rebels, Italians and Germans in SPAIN
I come out of republican Spain morally
charged with message for Americans,
more especially for those whose instincts
OF far dealing and sympathy for the
underprivileged are suppressed and di-
verted from their natural channels by
forces that play upon inveterate group
attachments.
Here I deal with problem that no
great public organ in the United States
can dismiss from its pages. It is a
problem that constitutes one of the
worlds outstanding issues and which has
clearly become one of the vital issues
in American social and political life.
In a contest in which the Spanish
underprivileged are so valiantly battling
to ward of the domination of Fascism
and Naziism and to establish the basis
for more comfortable and a broader
life, what we may for convenience call
Official" American Catholic opinion has
enlisted against the underdog.
Before I go further I wish to make
1t clear that am not discussing re-
ligion nor religious systems. In fact it
is possible and easy in these matters to
make q sharp distinction between
Church" and religion"
In France, where people have succeeded
in shaping political and economic views
without reference to any ecclesiastical
pattern, my French Catholic friends
greet with establishment and complete
incomprehension the attitude of a vast
number of American Catholics toward
the Loyalists in Spain.
At the session OF the International
and unequivocal denunciations of Fascism
was thundered forth by Roman Catho-
lie, the Belgian Priest Able Mahiu,
And he did not make his opposition to
Fascism dubious one by balancing
of his disapproval with an attack on
reds" His words, 50 spiritedly pro-
nounced, were: "Who has attacked Spain
and plunged nations into misery and
destroyed the lives Of women and chill
dren? Fascism!" Indeed, he even went
SO far as to add: "You have among
you in each Of your countries internal
enemies-those who praise the exploits Of
the Fascists"
In Catalonia, while being received by
group of moderate republicans made
up of men and women of various ages,
was asked by one woman the follow
ing anxious question: els it true that in
your country the Catholics are our great
enemies?" Carefully and painfully, with
an attempt at mitigation, told them
what am sure will be recognized as
the truth. told them that one American
prelate had declared that he prays daily
for Frances victory. A gasp Of horror
was the response to this told them
that another American prelate had de-
clared that Franco could not be guilty

Hungary Gets Hers

Under the not altogether disinter-
ested arbitral auspices of Hitler and
Mussolini, another 1000 square miles
have been Topped from the shrunken
carcass of Czechoslovakia and
handed over to Hungary. With it
goes a population of 100000, includ-
ing mixture of racial elements by
no means exclusively Magyar. The
claim of the German Italian arbi-
traitors that their award is an ideal
exemplification Of Woodrow Wilson's
self-determination thesis is hardly
borne out by the fact that large num-
bers of the people now transferred
to Hungarian nationality are Slovaks.
These are minor details. Pre-emi-
nently what the foreign ministers of
the Fuehrer and the Duce did on
November 2 at Vienna was to COM
plete the partition of Czechoslovakia
which set in on September 20 with
"the peace of Munich" The parti-
ton, inclusive of German, Polish and
Hungarian spoils, has cost the coun-
try more than $4,000 square miles
and deprived it of 4,7OO,OO0 inhabit-
ants. 1t leaves rump state of about
$4,000 square miles, with a population
OF 100000. The map of Europe
was thus remade bloodlessly. But
outstripping all else in Importance is
the new balance of power which the
partition creates in Europe. It nulli-
fies the Treaty of Trianon. 1t estab-
fishes unchallengeably the ascend
ancy of the totalitarian powers. It
reveals them triumphant not only
over the two democracies directly in
volved--Great Britain and France
but over the whole League of Ma
tions, for the Ribbentrop- -Ciano tri-
bunal decided issues-revisions of
frontiers and redistributions of mi
norities-which the Geneva world or
ganlzatlon once was supposed spe-
officially and exclusively to determine:
AT almost the same moment the Ger
mans and Italians were ordaining
how much of Czechoslovakia should
henceforth be Hungarian, Prime
Minister Chamberlain was acknowl-
edging in Parliament "the new
order" on the continent and in so
many words giving Hitler the green
light for his "drang mach Osten."
The "arbitral" award is described
as compromise which conforms to
about eighty per cent of what Ger
many wanted and to about twenty
per cent of the Italian Hungarian
wishes. The relative figures indicate
who ran the show. What the Reich
primarily achieved is that Carpa-
THAN Ruthenia is preserved to the
shrunken Czech state, thus thwart-
ing the Polish-H Hungarian aspiration
for a common border which might
have become the nucleus of a terri
torlal bloc across the path of Nazi
penetration to the east
