President Roosevelt's mysterious hint
that he is soon to spring a sensation
about phosphate is supposed to have
some connection with the estimated five
billion tons of undeveloped phosphate
fields in Idaho, Montana. Utah and
Wyoming. The name of Senator Pope.
Democrat, of Idaho has been identified
with efforts to exploit these untapped re-
sources with the aid of Federal funds. In
Washington quarters which speak author
itatively on all and sundry in the chemical
industry, this observer is Informed that
any project to open up the phosphate
deposits of the mountain States might
be defensible from a political or pump
printing standpoint, but is utterly un-
necessary, as far as the fertilizing needs
of American agriculture, and forestry
are concerned 1t is stated that phos-
phate now derived from developed
sources in Florida and Tennessee is not
only adequate for the countrys require
ments, but sufficient to maintain a
profitable export trade The Southern
fields in question are said to be rich
enough to assure the United States
phosphate supply for 1000 years to
come.
Not one American in a thousand
probably ever heard of Muscat, the tiny
independent state in Southeastern
Arabia, whose young Sultan has just
been President Roosevelts guest at the
White House. after being received at
Washington with the full honors ac-
corded the mightiest sovereign. Yet the
fact is that one of Uncle Sans earliest
foreign treaties was made with MuScat
exactly 100 years ago, when Martin Van
Buren was President. Great Britain
retains some sort of authority over Mus
cats external relations, but there doesn't
appear to be any love lost between John
Bull and the Sultans government. An
any rate, it's understood the turbaned
monarch from the Mystic East let it be
known in advance of his arrival that he
wasn't interested in any hospitality at
the British Embassy. The Sultanate of
Muscat and Oman, with a coastline of
nearly 1000 miles on the Persian Gulf,
an area of $4,000 square miles and an
Arab population Of about 100000, is sup
posed to be rich in petroleum deposits.
Secretary Hulls spokesmen give the as
surance there's nothing oily about the
Sultans presence in Washington. but
that it's merely another stopping place
on his trip around the world.

A National Auditorium.

Washington is looking hopefully to
Secretary Ickes for the erection of a
commodate national and international
meetings official and otherwise. The
Secretary has announced that he is
planning to call a meeting shortly to
discuss the program for giving the Ma
tional Capital an adequate auditorium.
Washington, perhaps, is the only cap
ital of great world power which does
not have place where large gatherings
can be held under conditions which
Evening star., 1938-03-04

Will permit those attending to get the
most out Of their conferences. It is
true that in some of the new govern
ment structures erected within recent
years space has been provided for such
meetings, but their use is limited and
restricted.
What the National Capital needs is
a great building, as distinctive in de-
sign as any of the new Government
structures. with adequate space not only
to seat the largest audience, but in
cluding all of the facilities which con-
ventions and meetings require, such as
communication and voice amplifying
systems and administrative Offices.
Those directing the affairs of the civic
bodies continually seek to attract con-
ventions and meetings to the Capital
City, but their efforts are handicapped
by the lack of a suitable auditorium.
From time to time attempts have been
made to provide such a structure from
private funds, with little success. But
it is not matter which should be left
by the National Government to the citi-
zens of Washington, and 1t is some satis-
faction to know that the Federal off,
cials are beginning to realize this fact.
Except for the large amount of build
ing done particularly to house the Fed
eral Government, the District has had
comparatively little benefit from the bill
lions which have been spent throughout
the Nation for public structures. The
surest and indeed the only practical way
to gain this end is to provide now the
funds with which to construct monu-
mental auditorium which would place
the Federal City on a par with other
world capitals.
An advisory committee has been work.
ing on the matter for some time and it
is to be hoped that when Secretary
Ickes calls his meeting there will be
sufficient details on which a definite
start can be made to this end.

"A Generation of Neglect

The image of Washingtons general
health level reflected by the mirror of
Surgeon General Parrans report is any
thing but flattering to the Capital of the
nation.
Last December the cry was raised
throughout the city that health con-
ditions here were deplorable and with
poor, ancient Gallinger used conven-
iently as whipping boy. the Budget
Bureau, a committee of doctors, and
then the Interior Department all began
to make Investigations. Then came the
request that the Public Health Service
as disinterested, competent authority,
make survey.
AT that time The Star took occasion
to point out that this inquiry by an i'm
partial Federal agency would be most
helpful if it furnished Washington with
reliable standard. The report which
has now been submitted is the yardstick
which reveals Capital health at a level
requiring a six-year program of building
and personnel expansion to put the
District in a class with twenty-five per
cent of the cities of America.
In the absence of an industrial pop
ulace here with its multitude of attend
ant health problems, it seems hardly
comprehensive that Washington should
need a six-year program of develop
ment, not, to put it at the top. but to
admit this community to a parity in
health standards with twenty-five per
cent of Americas cities. Surgeon Gen
eral Parran's remark that DR.. Rutland
has been fighting "a generation of
neglect" is an indictment as we'll as a
challenge to both Congress and the
citizens
Public health, it is frequently said,
is 'purchasable." DR.. Parran's report
provides everything but the price tag.

Prime mover in this attack on girth con-
troll is c. c. Schiffeler, general manager
of the Hotel Raleigh. The plan is to
hold two or three dinners year featur-
ing the best there is in the realm of food
and drink. The idea springs to degree
from the hunt dinner staged under Mr..
Schiffeler's direction few weeks ago
in honor of Vice President Garner by
Senator Joe Guffey, at which the piece
de resistance was deer shot by Texas
Jack on the Guffey preserves in Penn's

"def1ed the President and broken their

is not likely to make for better feeling

One of the mysteries of finance is the

It. is for the President to decide-with
his leaders in the Senate and House
lust how much legislation shall be at
tempted at this session. The wages and
hours bill Is hard nut to crack, despite
the optimistic talk of some of its sup
porters. House leaders have told the
President it would be unwise, in their
opinion, to attempt to force action on
such a measure now, with the member
ship of the Rules Committee of the
House feeling just as it did in the spe-
cial session of Congress, when it re-
fused to grant rule for its consider
alton. Southern members of that COM
mittee apparently have not changed in
their attitude toward this legislation.
Furthermore. the differences which exist
between the American Federation Of
