Shorter Shirts.

The latest fashion note from Berlin
tells the world that shirts will be two
inches shorter in Germany this year.
One-elghteenth Of yard of cloth saved
IN the making of each garment should
mean the conservation of a good many
hundreds of miles of fabric. Presum-
ably, not even the Official brown textile
employed in the manufacture of the
principal upper portion of the Nazi uni
form is to be spared. The tails tucked
out Of sight under Hitlerian breeches
have been amputated one-sixth of a
foot in the interest of an economy which
doubtless will be popular with every
body except the minority engaged in the
khaki industry.
Such thrift is not new. The short
skirts which women affected in the years
Of the Great War and Immediately
thereafter forced silk and velvet pro-
ducers into an approximation of bank
ruptcy. Whole towns were impoverished
when ladies abandoned petticoats and
corsets Small hats meant disaster for
thousands Of milliners, who were pros
porous in the days when hats inordi-
nately large were in style. People who
dared to quit wearing hats altogether
were regarded as traitors to civilization.
A propaganda was organized against
them for their nonconformity.

This leaves home building as the big
"out" It Is in this field that the severe
shortages are found and that the prin-
cipal prospects lie for overcoming the
present setback in business. An analysis
of the market for homes shows that At
least $1,000 ,00O, 900 a year should be add
ed to the total of present expenditures
for period of five years just to catch up
for time lost in the depression.
The Governments economists now are
agreed that the building of houses offers
this country the one sure road to pros
perity. All of industry would react to
improvement in that one field.
Agreement on this conclusion lies back
of the increased White House attention
devoted to the housing problem. Home
building definitely gets the call a the
next means Of pump -prining.

The Trial of Mr.. Pine.

How President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Cummings can justify the long
delay in appointing q new United States
attorney for the District of Columbia is
not readily apparent.
It has been approximately two months
since Leslie G. Garnett advised Mr.. Cum
mings Of his intention to quit the prose-
cutors ONCE. It has been more than a
month since Assistant United States
Attorney David A. Pine was named by
the court as acting district attorney. It
has been a good many weeks since Mr..
Cummings said he intended to send to
the White House promptly" his recon-
mendation for a successor to Mr.. Garnett.
Mr.. Cummings when questioned as to
the reason for the delay in making this
important appointment, indicated that
Mr.. Pine is "on trial"
In all fairness to Mr.. Pine, 1t should
be pointed out that he Is laborins under
heavy disadvantages in such q trial" His
staff Of prosecutors has been depleted by

do little in its divided state: 1t can do
much once Its ranks are consolidated,
Now, As In other critical periods, the
church, using that term in its most COM
prehensive sense, Is largely impotent to
bring It's voice and influence to bear upon
an unsteady and uncertain world be-
cause 1t does not represent unity of
mind and unity Of action. Each separate
unit Of this broken household pipes its
own strain, follows its own course and
cultivates its own constituency. That
each unit has convictions, and strong
ones, Is admitted, but as whole its voice
Is weak and its influence negligible.
As moral force the church occupies
now. as always, a place Of unchallenged
usefulness. It contributes, and contributes
largely, to the maintenance of moral and
spiritual ideals; 1t is a factor to be
reckoned with in our individual and
corporate life. 1t Is affirmed that along
with other institutions it has suffered
impairment during these recent years
If this Is true, and we believe it Is, then
1t Is time for 1t to lengthen its cords and
strengthen It's stakes. 1t is time for it
to bring its ranks into close formation
and to sacrifice, If sacrifice is called for,
some OF its cherished conceits. If it
would have peace IN this distracted
world. then let its voice be as one voice
and its influence one undivided influence
pressing with all insistence the high
claims OF peace. II 1t would affect. and
affect vitality, the social and economic
systems, then let 1t mobilize its great
army, representing some fifty millions
N this country, and speak with convic-
ton concerning the inequities and iniqui-
ties that are threatening our orderly and
peaceful life.
The church began as a united body
and its power was 50 great that the
ancient world responded to it. United,
1t is mighty force to be reckoned with
today. They were all with one accord,
in one place" This Is the significant
record that tells Of the inception OF the
church. Unity, not uniformity, this Is
the insistent call this modern world is
presenting to the church. Before we
shall have order and peace we must
have unity, the unity Of the one out
standing moral and spiritual force that
can bring US back to the normal ways
Of living.

UNIFIED ACTION
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D., D. L..
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

The exigencies Of the present hour are
compelling men to think Of those means
or agencies that guarantee to them
security and continuing peace. Since
the close of the World War more peace
pacts have been written than in any
like period In human history, and,
anomalous as it Is, the nations have,
during the same period, increased their
armaments and multiplied both their
armies and their navies. These two ex-
pressions of national idealism and con-
cern have developed side by side, para
doxical as 1t seems. 1dealism on the one
hand fear and apprehension on the other:
these have been the two strong impulses
that have dominated mems minds for
the past twenty years. Smiling, genial
diplomats have readily signed peace pacts
while their respective governments have
assiduously planned for wars imminent
and terrifying. There Is no possibility
Of reconciling these two states Of mind.
Coincident with this situation we have
new experiments in government, new
concepts that concern practically every
phase of our life, domestic, social, in
dustrial and political, and one mans
guess is as good as anothers as to what
further startling changes are imminent.
NdGlOIlS, SGdIcS, dlc III q
mood of expectancy, and an expectancy
that Is not without the elements Of ap-
prehension and fear. Once We harked
back to tradition, to ell-established
range finders, to constitutions and sys-
TENS we believed fundamental and un-
changing. Today, while politics and the
large concerns Of the state are widely
discussed wherever men and women fore
gather, there seems to be a paucity Of
controlling convictions and a poverty of
leadership. 1t may be, as far as America
is concerned, that the long continued
crisis is to generate a new type Of leader
ship and new set OF appealing and lofty
ideals. This, at least is a part OF our
expectancy.
In this unique situation we consistently
ask what contribution the church as an
institution is making to clarity our vision
and strengthen our resolve. To such
reasonable question the average man
replies: What can the church do that
would prove practical and helpful in q
situation that calls for the genius Of the
statesman and the economist?" 1t can

ment until district attorney is for
mally named. There was one vacancy
in the staff when Mr.. Garnett left ofice.
There are four vacancies today, a severe
handicap for any district attorney.
To make matters worse, the very un-
certainty that prevails over the appoint
ment Of a new prosecutor has tended to
break down the morale Of the overworked
staff in Mr.. Pines Office. Such a condi-
ton is not conducive to the effective
administration Of justice.
In the face of these obstacles Mr.. Pine
has made creditable showing When
he took charge on January there were
$40 cases ready for trial or being pre-
pared for trial. During the ensuing
month 200 indictments were returned.
thus greatly adding to the number Of
pending cases. During the same period
BIS cases were disposed OF, leaving a
total Of 436 cases pending in the prose-
cutor's ONCE. OF the latter approximate
ly 205 are ready for trial, but are being
held up by congestion in the District
Court.
The Star has no particular candidate
for district attorney. It's sole desire is
that the District Of Columbia shall have
the best prosecutor available. It feels
that If Mr.. Pine or any one else is to be
placed on trial for the office the trial
should be fair one, and the only fair
method is to clothe him with full au-
thority and provide him with complete
and competent staff Of assistants.
Only a presidential appointment. Of
course, could accomplish this. Such an
appointment possibly could be made
with the understanding that if the ap-
pointee failed to meet requirements after
fair trial, his resignation would be in
order. This condition would serve to
put the prosecutor on his mettle and,
withal, to provide the Capital with
brand of law enforcement more nearly
resembling that made famous by District
Attorney Dewey of New York.

Ready for the Senate.

washington will look to the Senate
to weigh carefully some features of the
1889 District appropriation bill and to
consider changing several provisions that
seem to be unwise in their present form.
1nasmuch as the House was unwilling
to raise the s5,ooo,ooo lump sum Federal
share OF maintaining the Capital, its
action in cutting sl,381,7SO from the
general fund estimates helped the local
taxpayer by taking that much off the
threatened deficit that will have to be
met by added tax burdens during the
coming year. The Senate committee will
have to find whether the cuts are in
reality justified, or whether they will
AFFECT adversely the agencies involved.
II it should be shown that a substan-
tial part of the House reduction should
be restored, or that certain other items,
such as unemployment relief, should be
increased. the most equitable course for
the Senate Appropriations Subcommit-
tee to follow would be to recommend an
increase in the Federal payment to cover
such possible additions to the House
total. Even now s2,oooooo in new rev.
enue must be raised-despite the House
reductions.
AS the bill passed the House. the
s5,o0o,00o lump sum makes the Federal
share only about eleven per cent, with
the District meeting eighty mine per
cent through general taxes, water rates,
gasoline and other motor vehicle taxes.
With unrepealed substantive law calling
for sixty-forty division of expenses: with
4 substantial tax deficit to meet under
the House bill, and the local community
heavily burdened as it is by new taxes,
every equitable consideration demands
the increase of the lump sum.
In detailed phases of the bill, one of
the knotty problems the Senate will have
to untangle is how to charge the cost
OF street lighting. Placing it in the
special highway fund, where the Budget
Bureau and the House committee had it,
properly gives rise to the claim of di-
version Of highway funds
The House struck out the item on the
ground that it would be a diversion of
the kind that disqualifies State for
Federal-aid highway allotments. The
tronic part of this situation is that the
District cannot share in any Federal
highway funds before 1s40-no matter
what happens to the street lighting item.
Regarding relief, it is expected the
Senate subcommittee will consider care
fully whether the 100000 House figure
is enough. The House has not solved
this problem by earmarking IS 900 for a
survey to find out what are the relief
conditions. For the money for the in
vestigation will not be available until
after the bill is enacted, and investi-
cation at that time would be beside the
point.
The House cut the fuel allowance for
the schools through belief that in some
instances fuel has not been used eff
ciently and economically. But cutting the
appropriation certainly solves no problem
resulting from inefhciency. Again, a
move has been made to transfer some
municipal playground jurisdiction to the
school system. Aside from the merits
OF the proposal. it should be dealt with
as separate legislation, with the recrea-
ton problem as a whole in mind. and
not through legislation on an appropria-
ton bill.
