Paul v. McNutt, former Governor of
Indiana, and now on his way home
from the Philippines, where he has
been United States High Commits
sioner. In the case of Mr.. Garner,
1t has been announced that he will
be candidate whether or not the
Presidents name is brought forward.
The McNutt supporters, on the other
hand, say they do not believe the
President will be a candidate, but
that il he is, McNutt will gracefully
step aside.
When Vice President Garner re-
Gently became receptive candidate
for the presidential nomination,
without regard to the Presidents
plans and wishes, the third-termers
were in dither. And they do not
yet seem to know just what to do
about it. To date the 100 per cent
New Dealers have only one potential
nominee-the President. But they
may in the end, unless the President
himself becomes a candidate, be COM

Donziq and Tientsin

Tientsin and Shanghai are five
thousand miles from the Baltic, but
DR.. Paul Goebbels, German minister
of propaganda, chooses the moment
of Anglo-Japanese tension in China
to signal that crisis in the East may
any day find its counterpart in the
West. To mob of cheering Danzig
sympathizers Saturday night, Hit
ler's megaphone thundered that the
Fuehrer's resolve to restore the Free
City to the Reich is "unbreakable"
and that mo power on earth can
prevent" a result which is "in-
evitable"
Whatever else may be said of Nazi
diplomacy, its sense of timing is gen.
orally good, and often noteworthy.
It can hardly be questioned that
Germany considers the moment'use-
full for reminding Great Britain that
the Reich's demands on Poland are
very much alive. The Danzig speech
warns Chamberlain that British con-
flict with Japan might coincide with
German defiance of the Anglo
French guarantee of Poland'S Sc
curity. 1t is also a reminder that
British pressure to bring Russia into
the anti-aggression bloc might spur
the Reichs purpose to take Danzig
and the Corridor. In other words,
Hitler now signals the possibility of
an East-West squeeze play which
could easily paralyze Britains s efforts
to save face by resisting Japan.
Goebbels did not shrink from
bringing Britain deliberately into the
Danzig picture. He accused Cham
berlain and Halifax of giving War
saw blank check, starting their at
tempted encirclement of Germany
and resuming the British policy of
1914" That is hardly an augury of
peace for the summer which marks
the twenty-f1fth anniversary of the
World War-a summer crammed
with analogies to the conditions
prevalent quarter of a century ago.
Nor is Goebbel's boast of "a Germany
equipped with the worlds most i'm
posing military might exactly a
pacific harbinger,

Pleu for Economy

Economy in government is always
popular topic with those who foot
the bills, and unusual interest there
fore attaches to Attorney General
Murphys speech before the" Civil
Service Assembly in which he con-
tended that billion dollars and
million employees could be pared from
the public pay roll-Federal, State
and local-without disturbing Clear
ly necessary" functions.
The Attorney General, however,
was not specific on the where" and
show of the operation, and that
is where the rub comes in.
For example, a recent report from
the Brookings Institution showed
that less than eighteen per cent of
the n-billion- dollar Federal budget
goes for administration while the
rest is absorbed by pensions, dona-
tions, grants, subsidies, loans, spe-
cial services and direct and indirect
employment. Here, obviously, is the
only field in which appreciable saw
ings are possible, and by the same
token, as is only too well recognized,
where they are most difficult to at
tain, whether the items be regarded
as clearly necessary" or not.
A comparable situation exists in
State governments. Superfluous
county units, relics of the "horse
and buggy" days, are one of the
principal burdens of the citizens, but
the boundary lines of these little
principalities stay fixed, and the tax
payers continue to maintain an army
of useless jobholders.
In each case, active minorities
stand in the way of reform, and
only the political leadership of high

Dear Sir:
Il thoroughly enjoy your grand column
Recently few stories appeared which
shed an unfavorable light upon dogs in
relation to birds. I
Here is the story Of little black and
white spaniel that saved the lives of
three phoebes. AS am dog and bird
lover, I would like to have your readers
listen to my story:
Last winter wonderful dog of mine
died. She was mongrel, but loyal and
courageous. I wanted to replace her with
another OF the same sort. I wanted even
II possible, to get one that looked like her
so I went to the District pound. 1t
was soon after Christmas and the selec-
ton was low. Nothing there resembled
my dog, but they did have beautiful
black and white spaniel.
When I looked into her cage, she
stood up and cried pitifully. I passed
her up, but the rest of that day and
during the night she haunted me.
Early the next morning I went back
to the pound, and after assuring the
good home, paid 81 and received a dog
worth million
"She had worms, dysentery and skin
disease. She chewed up our hats, Slip
pers and curtains
She chased birds from one end of the
place to the other Chased them until
she nearly dropped in her tracks. When
l would finally bring her indoors, feed
and put her to bed, she actually snored
I'VE broke her of chewing up our
clothing and cured all her ailments, but
she still chased birds
However, I soon noticed that she
did no harm. The birds flew into the
trees and shrubs near the feeding
patches and no harm was done. 1 knew
that spring would soon be here and many
birds would mate and build in our woods.
That some would build their nests close
to the ground and l worried
AS we do not try to clear out our
woods, just let them grow wild as a
home for the birds, the vines and under
brush grew SO thick that the little dog
now seldom goes into them.

For several years phoebes have been
building in a corner, on our house. This
year, as usual, they came, patched up
the old nest and soon four white
eggs appeared.
One evening we were sitting in our
living room reading
The spaniel went to the window and

nothing, and were about to 20 inside
when we heard faint cry.
We flashed the light on the phoebe
nest, and there was a black snake,
sprawled on the side of the house, its
head right at the nest
While We hate to kill a black snake,
still we figured that as long as this fell

The bundwoqon Riders

Bandwagon riders of 1910 are on
the move, early though it be. The
first" Garner for = President men
are in the open now; the first" VAN
denberg, Taft, Dewey, Farley, ETC.,
men are not far behind them. The
first Roosevelt thirdtermers have
been shouting ever since 1887, when
the President began his second term
in the White House
The favorite form of activity of the
bandwagon riders is the formation
of clubs-Garner-for President clubs,
for example. 1t is one way of prov
ing early support for candidate.
So far there seems to have been
no formal organization OF the Roose-
velt-for-a- term movement in
the shape of Roosevelt for President
Clubs. The third-termers are vocal
enough, it is true, but they are not
anxious to have the President put in
position where he may be compelled
to say what his plans for the future
are. The organization of Roosevelt
clubs would be so definite a move
that it might easily make necessary
a clarification of the Presidents posi-
ton with regard to 1910. Should the
Presidents supporters go ahead with
formal organizations to win his
renomination-and should the Presi-
dent remain silent - the country
would assume at least tacit approval
of the third term drive on his part.
He would be considered a receptive
candidate. From receptive candidate
to active candidate for the nomina-
ton is very, very short step.
Despite the fact that President
Roosevelts own wishes in the matter
have not yet been disclosed, activi-
ties for several of the potential
nominees of the Democratic party
are underway. Strong organizations
are being constructed openly for
both Vice President Garner and for

Overton Plan Needed

The provision of the District tax
bill which limits the Federal payment
to $5000,000 was put there, its spon-
sors have explained, in order to make
the Federal payment a matter of
definite legislation. Under current
legislative practice, the Federal pay
ment is decided by the appropria-
tlons committees each year and is
subject to point of order which
might eliminate it altogether with no
discussion of the merits.
The Federal payment should be
fixed and certain-not subject to a
point OF order in an appropriation
bill. But the limitation of $5,OOO,O 900,
placed on it in the pending tax bill,
is entirely too low; to keep it at
$4,000 900 would merely be to perpet-
uate the inequities through which,
under points of order upheld in the
House, the Federal payment was orig
inally reduced and the provisions of
substantive law, setting the Federal
payment at forty per cent, were
disregarded
Senator Overton's formula should
be written into the pending District
tax bill or otherwise made permanent
law. 1t is germane to the tax bill
because it provides for the contribu-
tion to be made by the exclusively
nnnfrN11i,,r Mot
measure that imposes new taxes on
the local community.
It is fair, workable, simple for
mula which, as described in the Spe-
cial article elsewhere in today's Star,
recognizes the National obligation
based on the excessive area of tax
exempt property held here by the
National Government. It creates no
dangerous precedent in regard to
tax-eXempt land in other cities.
There is no problem in other cities, or
even in the States, which compares
with the condition in Washington
where the taxable area is rapidly
being decreased through purchases
by the National Government. With
out some formula such as the
Overton plan, decreasing portion of
Washington's limited taxable area is
being required to assume a larger
portion of the tax load.
Approval of the Overton plan
would mean so much toward CAPITAL
development at such little expense
that its advantages are apparent to
all. In the first place, it would mean
that the Federal payment was based
on fair, scientific method of mea-
suring the National obligation and
not on legislative whims which, in
the past, have so often been dictated
by petty spite. 1t would permit re-
turn to long-range planning for
Capital development. 1t would give
to local taxpayers, already bearing a
heavy tax burden, assurance that
the National Government also recog.
nized its own obligations while fixing
the obligations of others.
Without the Overton plan or some
other method of increasing the Fed
eral payment, the tax bill would be
q mockery of justice.

Fushion Note

Most people used to think of con-
victs as rather uncouth individuals
incapable of appreciating the nice
ties of life, until the recent unpleas-
antneSs at the Kansas State Peni-
tentiary, where several hundred con-
victs with badly worn silken under
wear were refused permission to buy
any more. They went on strike down
at the bottom of mine and refused
to come up until the privilege was
restored. A long distance conference
was hastily arranged between the
warden and representative of the
fashion committee, masculine sub
debutante scheduled to come out into
society during the season of 1860.
This convict, Mr.. 1929, was member
OF the Sing Sing branch of the ia
nous Seventeen Hundred family of
forgers, and looked very chic in his
simple striking costume of blue
denim, decorated in the prevailing
mode with contrasting horizontal
stripes OF the same material. On his
beautifully shaped head, which had
been closely bobbed with a razor, he
wore a rakish little striped beret
matching perfectly the rest of the
ensemble, while his silk underwear
was modestly concealed Politely
pointing loaded shotgun at this
vision, the warden asked him to state
his case.
Mr.. 1929 then explained that he
and his colleagues had no lingerie fit
to wear and that their morale was
being sapped. The tired business
man, he continued, on vacation from
the pressing routine of forgery, arson,
burglary, or murder, should, after a
strenuous day of relaxation at the
mines, be able to retire to his iron
boudoir and loll in silken-clad ease.
The warden, unimpressed, retorted
that Ye Olde Stir Lingerie Shoppe
was permanently out of silk, but
was carrying as jewelry side line
some perfectly ducky case-hardened
bracelets designed for the fastidious
by the Bethlehem Steel Company, to
which they would become very much
attached in time The committee
accepted this compromise, and came
up, especially after the warden, in a
burst OF generosity, offered to send
down heavy-handed corps of ex-
pert beauticians and put permanent
waves in their thick skulls.

Adolescence

she Is so young, and yet so very wise.
Her dignity naively dear. Contrite,
Her confidence, swift-poised as birds
in flight,
Unfolds its fragile wings; in her clear
eyes
Lie dreams. No masks of battling years
disguise
The innocence of her young face.
Fortnight
She looks at life; no coming shadows
blight
Inc fragrant, dew-fresh dawn Of her
sunrise.
SO sweet and 50 unschooled In hfes
hard ways.
Ruthless. perhaps; an eager. tireless force
Which thirsts for truth. Intolerant of
age,
Not knowing wisdom, walks with mature
gaze.
Spare her, awhile, a woman's vexed
recourse
The ripper years have pain for heritage.
