Congress Should Awaken
From Prolonged Coma.

To the Editor of The Star:
A news item reports that sign was
posted on the bulletin board of the
Nebraska Legislatures cloakroom, THE
general public hereby objects to the
snoring of the Senators. If you must
sleep, don't snore"
Few will contend that sleeping on the
job has been confined to Nebraska law
makers. In Washington we have be-
come fairly accustomed to congressional
!ethargy while problems multiply and
deficits continue their dizzy ascent
Hasn't the time arrived for Congress
to awaken from its prolonged coma long
enough intelligently to grapple with the
tax problem with view to checking a
growing menace which has practically
paralyzed American industry?
Our national business train has been
stalled for a decade; incessant tinker
ing at the expense Of the taxpayer, has
failed to produce desirable results It
is foregone conclusion that a new
and more experienced Grew" will
shortly be given the job Of getting the
locomotive in shape to move ahead
again. In the meanwhile let us be
sufficiently aroused to realize that
wreck of untold consequences appears
inevitable unless constructive measures
are Immediately adopted to avoid it.

Complains Of Traffic Dangers
At Union Station.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Last night my husband saw a man
run into by truck while he was cross
ing the street from Union Station to
the east entrance of the City Post Office
Building. AS the man was carrying a
suit case, he had presumably just gotten
off of a train at the station. The truck
was coming around the curve from the
circle in front of the station, the driver
not slowing up to watch traffic, and hit
the man, sending him rolling down the
slight incline to H street, his hat flying
in one direction, his suit case in the
other.
every day on my way to work in the
morning the fact was called to my mind
that stricter traffic regulations should
be in force there. On one side of the
street next to the Post Office Building
are "l5 Min. Parking" signs, while on
the other are mo Parking" signs. New
ertheless, in the morning rush hours
between $3.50 and 9 am, trucks and
vehicles park on both sides, not only
next to the curb but double park into
the street, sometimes leaving passage
way of only one lane for line Of fast
moving traffic in both directions at
this time of the day.
have noticed that Government
owned trucks from various bureaus,
Agriculture, Treasury, G. P. O., etc., are
the worst offenders. No doubt, they
only run into the post Office for min
ute or two to mail articles, but why
should they pick that time Of the day to
tie up traffic and make 1t exceedingly
dangerous for pedestrian to cross at
this point? The cars and trucks parked
on the Union Station side not only OBJ
struct the view of the pedestrian of on
coming cars, but the drivers cannot see
them as they are attempting to make a
crossing, due to the street curve. And
to add to the congestion two fruit and
popcorn stands which also take up space
where a pedestrian might attempt to
get on the sidewalk, are allowed there.
Either there should be stricter
enforcement of the mo parking" laws
here at the rush hour or there should
be traffic light, or best of all, but in
volving considerable expense, would be
a walk bridge constructed either over
the street or a walk tunnel under the
street from the sidewalk on the post
office side to the Union Station ramp
sidewalk. To allow traffic situation
such as the above to remain in city
the size of Washington is deplorable.

Admiral Bristol

Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol was
strong and forceful man, yet so
gentle and kindly that it may be
that he was sometimes under-esti-
mated. Not every casual acquaint-
ance could know that he was man.
nerly by choice and that his chival-
rous, patient and tolerant bearing
was but the natural cloak of
character stalwart and uncompro-
missing in It's integrity.
Washington found the Admiral
courteous and generous neighbor,
civic-minded in the highest degree.
In the Near East between 1919 and
1927 he had employed the same gifts
of charm with notable success as
High Commissioner to Turkey. There
was no more difficult task of its sort
anywhere on earth. He met it's de-
mands with genius which ought
never to be forgotten. Perhaps it is
not too much to say that to him
alone peace in the farther waters
of the Mediterranean was due in those
postwar years. He spent his sub
stance as we'll as his time and energy
IN the work and came home empty
Of pocket in the end.
But Admiral Bristol never COM
planned. He loved his country with
an unqualified devotion, expecting
little In reward for his services.
Fortunes, he confessed, are not made
IN patriotic employment. All that
he asked in his later days was the
companionship of friends who did
not need to be impressed. Modest
to fault, few of his intimates were
aware of his splendid record in the
Navy and diplomacy. For a proper
epitaph the authority OF his peers
Is wanted, and they are not many.
Meanwhile, he has his rest and his
country is the poorer for the fact.

Students of Safety

Saturday morning ten thousand
boys and girls marched through the
rain in the annual national parade
OF the school safety patrol They
represented eighteen States, the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Dominion
of Canada, But actually they were
the delegates of more than quarter
million boys and girls in some three
thousand communities who daily
protect the lives of eight million
school children.
The protection they provide is one
of the most positive factors in traffic
safety in the United States. And it is
as positive a factor in citizenship
training. It's value lies in teaching
realization of the citizens duty to the
children enrolled in the patrols. It's
worth to the community consists also
OF bringing about cooperation for
civic good between the children, the
school system, motorists and adult
pedestrians, and the body of citizens
at large. 1t is an honor to wear the
white belt; it is pleasure to Coop
crate with those wearing that belt; it
Is a disgrace to becloud the record of
ones classroom by being reported for
violation, and it is JOY to see the
toll of accidents involving children
drop year after year.
For the greatest value of the school
safety patrol lies in the direct,
planned results which it has achieved.
Through the provision of definite
protection in going to and from
school. and for training in the habits
