Hungary Bans the Nuzis

At first blush there would seem to
be something incongruous in the
announcement that Hungary has
outlawed its Nazi party and simul-
taneously adhered to the German
Italian-Japanese international accord
against Communism. Whether Pre-
mier Teleki thus means to signal
that while his regime is anti-Com-
munist it is not anti-Semitic re-
mains to be clarified On it's face his
action denotes rugged independ-
ence of spirit at Budapest and serves
notice on all concerned-at Berlin in
particular-that Hungary intends to
remain master in its own house. It
means to brook no such nonsense az
that which paved the way to Doll
fuss downfall in Austria and its
eventual annexation to Germany.
The Nazi extremists unquestionably
personifled a movement which
sought to set up a government within
a government. Grouping them
selves under the party name of Hun
garists, their activities obviously
became so pernicious that Premier
Teleki determined to ban them as
danger to public safety. Several hun
dred Hungarist leaders were arrested
on Friday and their party headquar-
ters were occupied by the political
police. Nazi Vaccinations have per-
turbed Hungary for more than a
year. Last summer Ferenc Szalasi,
the leader of the Hitlerite clique, was
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment for "incitement," but his chief
lieutenant, Kalman HUBBY, a member
of Parliament, remained at liberty.
The elements that have hitherto
looked to his leadership apparently
are at length in eclipse, including
the terrorist branch known as the
BLACK Front" to which was at
tributed the recent bombing of a
Budapest synagogue.
Hungary, with the single exception
of Bavaria, is the one Russian
country in Europe to know from ex-
perience what i: is to be under the
Communist bootheel. Its memories
of the short-lved Bella Kun regime
are still keen. In addition to their
desires to escape any repetition OF
the Red dispensation, the Hungari-
ans are inspired by logical desire

from brave men that George Wash
ington won independence for his
country. The vanquished as well as
the victors deserve remembrance for
their heroism.
General Richards plan, therefore,
should be indorsed by al. who wish
to preserve national traditions. The
money needed will not be large
sum, and it will pay a debt to history.

Mr.. Hopkins Speaks

AS predicted, Secretary of Com
merce Hopkins sounded deep note
of Government-busine harmony in
his address at Des Moines last night.
1t would be shortsighted on the
part of business, speaking abstractly,
to receive his words with an excess of
cynicism. At the same time, it would
not be out of order for business to
accept the good intentions and to
expect their immediate translation
into positive leadership by the ad-
ministration in the directions indi-
Gated.
Mr. Hopkins made it clear, for in
stance, that the New Deal has ended
its experimenting, that it's emphasis
on reform is now to become emphasis
on recovery. In doing so he voiced
an abundant satisfaction with the
social program enacted in the imme-
diate past. That he should feel so is
not unreasonable, nor is it essential
that partial issue be taken with him
at the moment. In its general tenor
his address was constructive and the
reception to it should be likewise.
Mr.. Hopkins echoed the Presidents
hope that we can become an eighty
billion-dollar Nation and that at that
level the existing tax structure would
yield enough revenue to balance the
budget. At the same time he recog-
nized the possibility that some exist
ing levies may be freezing the flow of
capital necessary to the whole process
OF our becoming an eighty billion
dollar Nation. Business believes that
some of the existing taxes do have
this freezing effect and administra-
ton support for their review would
be considered evidence of tangible
cooperation.
Mr.. Hopkins expressed pleasure at
the signs of peace in the utility field;
business already has given voice to
similar feelings. No defense can
logically be made for watered stock
and excessive utility rates, utility
evils cited by the Secretary, but it
is not necessary to destroy an in
dustry to cure its evil habits.
OF labor relations, Mr. Hopkins
spoke safely when he reminded both
industry and labor that they have
responsibilities as we'll as privileges,
and that industry's difficulties in
recognizing the rights and RESPONSE
bilities of labor are magnified by the
latter's divided house. 1t was dis
appointing that he offered no specific
grounds for ending that division, but
leadership in this direction properly
should come from within the labor
movement.
Mr.. Hopkins recognized but did not
prescribe for the ailments of agricul-
ture, of small business, and of the
railroads. Admittedly, the problems
are not simple and presumably his
consideration of them will not end
with their mention last night.
Very likely, as many have said,
there were political implications in
Mr.. Hopkins address More impor-
tant, however, is the clear promise
that the administration is to be SYM
pathetic toward the problems of
business in the course of presenting
united front against economic i'll
health. Redemption of this promise
should bear both political and eco
nomic reward.

Variety.
A little bit of April
An a little bit O. June;
A little bit of August
When the day approaches noon;
A little bit O. winter
AS the sky gets cold and gray;
A little bit of everything
In one February day!
Laughin' with the sunshine
And a-tremblin' with the storm,
Complainin' cause its chilly now
And then because it's warm;
It keeps us all alvin in
A most uncertain state,

Priority


The debate as to whether an audi
torium for Washington had best be
located adjacent to the projected
Municipal Center on Constitution
avenue or whether the end of East
Capitol street affords better, more
useful and more economical site for
such a development resolves itself
into few simple questions. The
Star suggests some of those questions
and offers it's answers:
Q. What is the purpose of the pro-
5ected auditorium on Constitution
Avenue?
A. Primarily to furnish a covered
assembly hall where presidential
inaugurations can be held when the
weather is bad at four year intervals
on January 20. Secondarily to pro-
vide hall where restricted type of
convention or musical event can be
accommodated.
Q. What is the purpose of the pro-
5ected auditorium on East Capitol
street?
A. To furnish covered assembly
hall which the District National
Guard can use as proper armory;
where every type of convention or
musical event can be accommodated;
where sports events, such as boxing,
wrestling, hockey, skating, horse
shows, basket ball, etc, can be held,
and where the presidential inaugu-
rations can take place in the event
of bad weather every fourth year on
January 20.
Q.-Which accommodations are the
most comprehensive?
A. Those of the East Capitol street
project.
Q.-Do ue need tyo auditoriums in
order to coUer all uses?
A. No. The East Capitol street
project will cover all.
Q.-Whdt, Fundamentally, are the
dra1backs of the Constitution ave-
nue. location?
A. 1t takes care of neither Ma
tional Guard nor sports. It has no
possibility of railroad sidings for
unloading passengers or convention
displays. 1t further complicates al
ready serious traffic and parking
problem in crowded Northwest. Lot
rather than curb parking essential
for big crowds.) 1t would dwarf and
depreciate contemplated municipal
buildings. 1t would postpone if not
Illustrate contemplated development
OF East Capitol street stadium, pa
rade ground, ETC., together with the
much-to-be-desired decentralization
OF major Washington developments.
Q.-What, Fundamentally, are the
drdDbacks of the East Capitol street
location?
A. Increased distance from some
Northwest residents. All other fac
tors favor the Northeast location.
Q.-What 1Uould be- the relative
costs OF the taUo projects?
"a SolloIlGuGlOll avenue, S9,UUU, ,UUU.
East Capitol street, $4,O0OOOO.
Q. What chance is there of oettino
both Constitution Avenue auditorium
and East Capitol street ornaory-auda-
forum at this time?
A. Practically none.
Q. What action should Congress
cake IN the MATTER?
A. Build the East Capitol street
auditorium, in as expensive or mex
pensive form as it wishes, and see
that it does meet all requirements.
q. Which project does the Park
and Planning Commission, the Fine
Arts Commission, the trade bodies of
washington and the indiuidual citi-
sens OF the National Capital believe
should be giuen priority in choice
and construction?
A. The Star cannot say definitely
at present. But it intends to try to
md out, and with confidence in the
common sense of all concerned. is
willing to venture a prophecy in
favor OF East Capitol street.

Like tearose blossoms turned to stone
in the full flush of their blooming are the
shells of two remarkable new seashells
collected by deepsea diver, Sozon Vati-
kiosis, near Tarpon Springs, Fla.
They have just been identified by DR..
Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks of the
Smithsonian Institution, as representing
two new species of marine mollusks and
have been named in honor of theire dis
coverer and his wife.
They belong to the same general divi-
sion Of marine life as the homely oyster
and clam, but seem to have specialized
in the direction of beauty with their
subtle combinations of delicate tints-
truly gems of the dark, unfathomed
caves of ocean. Why creature of the
sea depths should evolve in this direction
is unknown since the accomplishment
would hardly have any protection value
in SO elaborate form.
DR.. Bartsch describes both species as
remarkable" OF the loveliest of the two
he says:
"The spire has yellowish orange base
with stretches of flesh color as a back
ground. 1t is axially marked by retrac-
lively curved brown streaks which may
be straight, curved or 1gzag Before the
shoulders there is band of achraceous
buff. 1t is separated by a moderately
broad white zone from another broad
band of the same color, which in turn is
followed by band about two-thirds as
wide of flesh color. The rest of the side
varies from little lighter than the two
dark bands mentioned above to flesh
color with an achraceous fiush."

@. How early was coal used?-D. w. P.
A. The earliest historical record of coal
is that of Theophrastus, 300 BIC, who
says in his book on stones that coal is
used by blacksmiths in Greece and Italy
The earliest mention of coal in England
was that made by the Bishop of Durham,
1190 AID. Coal was mined in Belgium
about 1900 AID. In 1899 AID. Henry III
granted license to mine coal. Coal was
first shipped to London In 1910. In 1906,
the burning of coal in London was pro-
hibited because of the smoke.
@. What is pilgrim shell?-E. Us.
A. This was a scallop shell worn during
the Middle Ages by persons who had
made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The pilgrim shell was sometimes included
as device in the family coat of arms.
@. What emperor worked as laborer
in shipbuilding?-T. S. R.
A. To advance his naval program, Pc
ter the Great sent large number of
Russian mobiles to Italy, Holland and
England, admonishing them not to re-
turn until they had become good sailors.
He himself went incognito to Holland
and hired out as a common laborer to
Dutch shipbuilder. He was soon recop-
nized and subsequently went to Amster-
dam, where he worked on building a
frigate, learning its construction from
start to finish.
