Says Display Of Periodicals
Would Be Impractical.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The letter from Mr.. Henry Stoner
which appeared in the Washington Star
of October IL states that there is no place
in the Government where one may find
complete display Of all of the Govern
ment's periodical publications.
There are so many Government peri
odicals that an exhibit to present all Of
them would hardly be practical Such
an exhibit, while it would arouse sur
prise and curiosity on account of the
number and variety of the periodicals,
would be confusing rather than inter-
esting.
Many publications are planned to serve
the public, but there are many which are
planned specifically for restricted groups,
as publications to assist certain technical
experts in their work for the Govern
ment. In presenting Government peri
odicals, as in presenting other publica-
tions, those of wider interest and appeal
are featured. However, the once of the
superintendent of documents stands
ready and is pleased to supply full in
formation, supplementing that available
through use of price lists and examina-
ton Of displays of publications at the
Documents Office Library, Government
Printing Office, and at the issuing Offices.
The Office Of the superintendent of
documents, which IS the sales agent for
Government publications, also maintains
the most complete library Of Govern
ment publications in existence. Mr..
Stoner and others who are interested
are welcome to examine the periodicals
on the display racks of the library of the
superintendent of documents and others
not on display are also available for in
spection upon request. Price list SO,
"Government Periodicals." win be sent
without charge upon application to the
Superintendent Of Documents. It con-
tains information upon the Government
publications which are of most interest
to the public and tells how to obtain
them. A. E. G1EGENGACK,

Courageous Stond

Governor O'Conor of Maryland
deserves commentator for the cour-
ageous and definite stand he has
taken regarding the regulation of
roadside signs. In statement ad-
dressed to the Maryland Legislative
Council, which Is studying matters
to be presented to the next session
Of the State Assembly, Mr.. O'Conor
has advocated enforcement Of road
side Identification by statute.

dian sun has been whetted. To that
end Communist propaganda has been
intensively carried on, accompanied
by hints that when the Congress"
party had done the spade work, Rus
sias Red Army might step in and de-
liver the final blow for Indian inde-
pendence-a transition which would
make the yoke of the British raj
benign and beneficient by COM
parison.
Whether or not Stalin's intriguing
hand is now at work, the Congress
party has adopted the extreme meas
ure of calling on eight provincial
governments, which the Gandhi-ites
control, to resign. AS the Nationalists
control all but three of British In
dia's governments, the action just
taken conjures up serious possibili-
ties. Should it lead to widespread
political revolt, coincident with
high powered Soviet offensive to
seize upon Britain's European pre-
occupations to Communize India, the
imperial authorities in London and
Delhi would be confronted with a
real problem.
Last Tuesday the Marques Of
Linlithgow. the viceroy of India,
stated that Britain is willing to en-
ter into consultations looking for
dominion status for India after the
European war. The Congress party
scorns this pledge as vague and in
adequate, and intolerably inconsist-
ent with 1ndias demand for free

this Nation will become impregnable to

Representative Lindbergh of Minnesota
Gather of Col. Lindbergh) was carried
away by the specious propaganda appeals
of the allied powers. On the other
hand, they courageously endeavored to
help this country keep out of the last
World War, and we would be better off,
financially and otherwise, had we listened
to them then.
I advise Jay Franklin, William Vile
and Dorothy Thompson that, since they
seem so anxious to mix into this war,
they should shoulder their muskets and
join the allies. Most of us, think, will
prefer to identify our interests with the
preservation of the man power, resources
and truly democratic institutions of the
United States.
We do not want to serve as an arsenal
for Europes wars. Let the Europeans
keep their blood money, while we MAIN
tain our heritage, namely, this glorious
Nation OF ours, as the citadel of true
humanitarianism and democracy in a
strife-t torn world.

Lindbergh Speeches
Draw Approval.


To the Editor Of The Star:
May add word to the many you
have been receiving concerning Col.
Lindberghs address on Neutrality"
The neutrality policy Of this country
is, hope, still open to free discussion
by every American. We all have a stake
IN this issue, which may involve our
lives and fortunes. No one has a
monopoly on patriotism or Americanism.
Col. Lindbergh has been the idol of
millions OF Americans. His fame has
become a legend among the youth of
our country. His background as well as
his talented wife is 1000 American.
His genius, his worldwide travels GER
tainly deserve attention. heard his
two addresses and fully subscribe to
them.
1t is good that we still have such
genuine Americans as Col. Lindbergh
among us, because otherwise the ap-
peals and persuasions of nations and
peoples already at war might lead us
along the disastrous path they are fol-
lowing. A DEMOCRAT

 Fiance of Brother

Plymouth, Mass, Aug. 10.-(UP)- The apparently accidental drowning of & North Easton man and his brothers fiancee was disclosed today when police recovered the bodies from deep water in White Island pond between here and Wareham.

 The boat, its motor still running, beached itself, damaging it's pro- peller.
