"fat-headed' would have been the better

THE LANGUAGE THEY KNOW

A great difficulty in establish
ing world peace at present is that
the only argument certain nations
give weight to is hot shot and cold
steel. Until all nations learn the
value of arbitration and the ne
cessity of settling international
questions by it, there must be
kpet in readiness an effective
supply of hot shot and cold steel
for those who will heed nothing
else.

TROOPS TO CLASH
Regulars and Guardsmen to
Participate in Maneuvers
in August.
b. the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, July 23.-Regulars and
National Guardsmen throughout the
Southeast looked to their war equip
n1ent today, preparing to move on his
torlc Biloxi. Miss. in the most ambi-
tlous military maneuvers ever at
tempted in the South.
Nearly 10000 officers and men of
the Sd Army will concentrate August
in the De Soto National Forest. Just
north OF Biloxi, and be divided into a
brown" invading force and blue"
defending army.
From August 3 to 9 the brown"
forces will strive to capture nearby
New Orleans and the mouth of the
Mississippi River. while the blue
unit will attempt TO shatter the in
vasion.
The return to home stations will be
accomplished from August 10 TO IA.
Ihe entire maneuvers-travel as well
rs battle problems-Will be conducted
as nearly as possible under field con-
ditions.
The blue army will be the 3Oth
Division under command OF Maj. Gen.
Henry D. Russell of Macon. Ga.
Included in this force will be Ma
tional Guard troops from South Caro-
lima. Eastern Tennessee, Southern
Georgia and Western North Carolina,

The brown corps, comma nded BY
Maj. Gen. Albert H. Blanding of the
Florida National Guard and chief Of
the National Guard Bureau. will be
composed of the 4th and 3lst Divi-
sions.
The 4th Division will be commanded
by Brig. Gen. Robert o. Van Horn

tional Guard cavalry from Louisiana,
Tennessee and Georgia. engineers
from Alabama and National Guard
Air Corps units from Alabama and
Tennessee will bolster the browns.
The distances from which these
forces will be moved are expected to
put the acid test to their mobility.
The background against which the
actual conflict problems will be worked
out is that the invading brown army
already has gained foothold in
Texas through successful landings at
Gulf ports.
Naval intelligence reported another
strong hostile convoy in the Gulf Of
Mexico, apparently aiming al New
Orleans. The Sd Army sent the 3Oth
Division to repel this invasion, but it
was unsuccessful in preventing land
ines at Gulfport and Biloxi. thus set
ting the stage for the conflict In the
De Soto Forest area.
As in all such maneuvers. strategy
will be worked out by the opposing
commanders on a day-to-day basis as
developments dictate.

Civic Acfvity Cools Down as Summer Heat Rises,

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

Ivlc activities are running
At very low speed just
now. Every one who can
~ possibly lay aside duties
and considera ton of problems is
proceeding to do SO because OF
the continued hot weather. Some
Of the business men resent the
mention of our hot weather, un-
less spoken In q whisper, for fear
that some prospective visitor may
pass by in search Of cooler cli-
mate. There are those who think
We might just as well admit that
Washington has hot weather and
go about solving the problem OF
conditioning and cooling the air
in the streets Of our beautiful Ma
tional Capital. The substitution Of
extensive vaults under the down.
town sidewalks for shade trees
has undoubtedly added to the heat
Of downtown Washington.
At the District Building there Is
q steady stream of citizens filing
personal-tax returns. which must
all be in by July 81. 1t is re-
quired that the statements in the
returns be supported by oath, and
AS 1t is possible to do ones swear
ing in the assessors ot1ice without
charge the personal-tax section
does large business. Many citi-
zens filing these returns are
prompted to swear in another way
at the continued operation Of the
sonal property.
A part Of the District P. w. A.
program has been approved by
Secretary Ickes. Other items are
being worked out at the District
Building as rapidly as the limited
funds and facilities will permit.
The early departure Of Col Sui
tan, the Engineer Commissioner.
is extremely unfortunate at this
time. His familiarity with the
several projects for which allot-
ments are sought would 60 long
way in pushing plans to con-
clusion and obtaining approval.
The colonel has quiet, convince
ing manner which has won nu-
merous victories for the District.
Really, the big civic news is to be
found in the selection of tax eX-
pert to make the study of the Dis
trict tax structure and recommend
a modern equitable and well-bal-
anced tax system. This is very
important problem, in which every
resident OF the District Is neces-
ssrily interested-particularly the
taxpayers.
The TAX study is not the only one
regarding the District which is un-
der way this summer. Twenty
thousand dollars is being used to
investigate the local relief needs
and costs. and an expert study is
being started looking to CO.
ordinat ton OF juvenile welfare serv-
ices in the District. An advisory
committee of nine has been named
by the Commissioners to work with
the expert and prepare recon-
mendations for inclusion in the
next District budget. For this work
the Federal Children'S Bureau has
MADE a grant Of $1,000. Then one

Aliens Successor and Judges
Yet to Be Named by President.

Who will the President appoint
as Commissioner Of the District to
succeed Commissioner George E.
Allen. whose resignation becomes
effective September /? An equally
interesting query is, who will be
named to fill the three vacant
seats on the bench Of the District
Court Of the United States for the
District of Columbia and the new
seat on the United States Court Of
Appeals for the District of Column
bit?
As rule the President. to 4
large extent, is influenced in max
ing appointments in the States by
the State delegations in Congress
and other citizens Of the States.
Usually only residents Of State
would be considered for q Federal
post in that particular State. But
the residents out In the United
States are voters and must be
shown some consideration, even by
the President of the United States.
Residents Of the voteless and un-
represented District of Columbia,
having no votes to deliver, are not
considered as Of the same impor-
tance as the full-fiedged citizens.
In consequence it is q real prob
lem as to what can be done to have
local presidential Offices filled by
persons desired by the local cili-
zenry.
The law requires that the civilian
Commissioners be bonafide resi-
dents Of the District al the time
OF appointment and for the three
years next preceding such appoint
ment and that during such period
shall not have claimed residence
elsewhere. Some appointees have
just barely met the requirements
and in one instance. some years
ago the residence requirement was
ignored. A resort to the courts for
relief failed and there was MOTH
ing that could be done about it.
There is general desire that
the successor to Commissioner
Allen be local man with the
requisite experience and identified
definitely with our civic stfars.
Some Presidents have confessed 4
diMculty in finding suitable local
timber for the Cfhce The trouble,
however. has been that the Presi-
dent has sought advice from ma
tional rather than local sources.
This Is natural. for the contacts
of the Nations Chief Executive are
national and not local. In earlier
days local residents were able to
get in touch with the President,
but now it Is even impossible for
the members OF the ASsocia ton of
Oldest Inhabitants to call and pay
their respects to him on New Year
Day, as was the long established
custom.
As TO the judges Of the Court
Of Appeals and the District Court,
there Is no legal restriction as to
residence. Efficiency demands that
the local bar be well represented in
the selection of the judges, as much
Of the business Of these courts Is Of
local nature.
The District of Columbia is fairly
represented on the bench of the
District Court. there being several
