Proclamation

AS we approach another Easter
season which is the time for the
annual Easter seal campaign Of
the Michigan Society for Crippled
Children, we recall the words OF
the Great Master Of all Of us, who
said, AS We do unto the least of
these, my brethren, so do We unto
me-"
The Easter season is a time for
rejoicing, it Is time Of happiness,
it Is a time for reverence.
Through the purchase OF Easter
seals for the aid Of the Michigan
Society for Crippled Children, we
win be filed with happiness and
will cause great rejoicing among
the children, who because Of being
crippled, can only look forward to
a life in which they are greatly
handicapped, physically.
Remembering the fear and un-
certainty Of two summers ago
when this city was stricken with a
sweep Of infantile paralysis, which
added many children to the list Of
the crippled in our midst and
which took the lives Of those, young
in years, we should all determine
TO add our bit to that fund, which
has aided so greatly in restoring
these crippled bodies to a healthy
condition.
Therefore, /, Mayor II. A. Davis,
In nrnSJQ this married. FROM
March 20 to April 8 as a time of
remembrance Of our duties to these
crippled children and ! urge all
citizens 10 purchase as extensively
as they can afford of these Easter
seals.
Signed,
MAYOR T. A. DAVIS.

'Mudd|ing' Of Neutrality
Issue in Senate CHARGED

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14.-Fred-
erick J. Libby, executive secretary
of the National Council for Preven-
ton of War, said tonight admins
tration forces in the Senate have
"muddled" the neutrality issue by
pretending that We must choose
between" the arms embargo and
the proposed cash and carry system
of trade.
There is no reason In law or logic
why we cannot have both" he de-
clared in an address prepared for
delivery before the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science.
The real question underlying the
current Senate debate on neutrality,
Libby said, lis whether the Ameri-
can people are going to give Presi-
dent Roosevelt a green light to line
us up with Great Britain and France
in the hope of overthrowing Hit
lerism by measures short of war"
U. S. Senator Ebert D. Thom-
as Of Utah declared in another pre-
pared address that repeal of the
arms embargo would tighten up
our neutrality, remove haphazard
national shipping policy and secure
us a position of strength, dignity
and peace"

Gasoline Standards

Roberts Says Fraud and
Unfair Competition Are
Extensive in Capitol

Insisting that Misrepresentation

vailed to considerable extent" in
the quality Of motor fuels sold in
the District, George M. Roberts, SUI
pesintendent Of weights, measures
and markets, yesterday urged the
Commissioners to sponsor correc-
tive legislation at the next session.
Such a bill was considered last
winter but was pigeonholed for the
time being. A redraft of this meas
ure, with some minor changes, was
offered by Mr.. Roberts as a part
OF the legislative program of the
Commissioners for the forthcoming
regular session.
This bill is intended to protect
consumers by making available to
them information about the quality
OF gasoline and oils they buy and
to protect honest business concerns
selling motor fuels and oils from
grossly unfair competition to which
they are now being subjected" Mr.,
Roberts said.
If this bill becomes a law the
District will have the best and most
effective statute on the subject in
the United States. The cost of ad-
ministration will be negligible as
compared with the benefits to the
public"
The bill would direct the Com
missioners to establish and publish
uniform and reasonable definitions
OF standards of quality and fitness
for use Of high-test, straight and
third-grade motor fuel. No person
would be permitted to SELL advertise
Tor sale or transport into or within
the District any gasoline, motor fuel
or other petroleum products used
IN the operation of any internal
combustion engine or motor vehicle
unless such products complied with
the proposed District standards.
The Bureau of Standards would he
directed to supply needed advice and
assistance to the Commissioners in

Then, when the planes arrived close
to $40. they flew lower and farther
south than the script called for. So
the temporary headquarters of the
defense forces radioed the air
squadron to swing around and come
over as planned Meanwhile, the
artillerymen and machine gunners
were pecking away at the planes
which had been ferreted out by the
searchlights. This was not difficult,
since each plane bore clearly dis
tinguishable lights.
Soon the raiders coursed over

neat triangle formation, with the

enemy squadron was on the way
back to it's Baltimore base.

misunderstanding there was arose
despite advance announcements as
to the extent of the operation and
repeated statements as to its linn
tied purpose. Col. Burns and other
officers stressed that the mock raid
was planned simply as small
scale demonstration of part of the
nighttime functions of anti-air-
craft units-and to stimulate local
National Guard campaign to recruit
about $50 guardsmen.

See If you can shoot the hat of

This was the invitation Of Charles
Worrell, about 80, unemployed, police
were told, shortly before he was
wounded in the temple by friend at
an exhibition OF trick rifle shooting
last night.

was showing his friends how well
he could shoot a 22-calibre rifle in
the basement at the I street address
about 6 o'clock last night.
He had borrowed the rifle to kill
rats, he said. Elliott was quotod as
saying he broke a bottle held in the
hand of his 13-year-old daughter,
Vivian, and made several other
crack shots.
According to Elliott, Worrell was
impressed and volunteered to let him
shoot his hat off. Worrell, it was
said, stood against the wall across
the basement while Elliott took aim.
The marksman told police that

A Thought for Today
Times A-Wastin'

More than half of the legislative ses- sion has passed into history and so far as we can see not one piece of major legisla- ton has emerged from Hartford yet. Who is to blame for this state of affairs, we don't know. But it's obvious that Dem- ocrats aren't going to be tagged with responsibility. On several occasions recently they have railed against Repuo- lican leadership in Senate, House, and on various committees which does not allow the legislative pace to be maintained.
 Among those who complained was Senator George T. Culhane of Waterbury who said that reports weren't coming out of committee on important matters that might be debated in the Senate or House. We've heard the same plalnt voiced by others, too. And not so many days ago Representative T. Emmett Clarie, Minority Leader of the House, declared in a speech at Willlmantlc tnaI Republican leadership in the Generai Assembly has failed. =" He contlnueo by pointing out how little has been done to date and how short time remains III which to transact lot Of business.
 While the greatest amount of laW-maK- ing is always done in the last six weeks, we are reminded now that when the l939 session began everything was outlined ahead of time. There were reports o1 commissions and the Legislative Councll handy by which legislators could pc guided. But seemingly the usual mid season drowsiness has set in and the Leg islature as whole has begged down. This let-up came just about the time the dual job-holding bill went to conference.
 Had that bill passed the Senate as It dlo the House, we don't doubt the RepuDll.- cans would be pointing out their 1lIsC major law of the 1889 session. Now us doubtful if the proposal can be rescuea. And what of court reorganization, let alone governmental reorganization, adoption of the budget, and the many other important phases of a legislative session At the present rate of progress the full statutory time will be necessary to complete all legislative business.

The Thrust to the East

There seems to be no present prospect of any power, big or little opposing force to Hitlers march through central Europe. If he actually invades Poland and Russla, those nations may fight, but the small powers between New Germany and the Black Sea seem cowed. Apparently the Nazis can go through them at will, pick ing off Hungary, Rumania, and the rest, Whenever it pleases Hitler to fill ln another section of his Map of Conquest: In that direction there may be no control but the destroyer's own appetite ana ms patent plan of demoralizing his prey by taking only one bite at time.
 None of the western democracies Will fight for central or eastern Europe. Per- haps none of them should. They have enough to do in safeguarding themselves and acting. as France and Britain do, as barrier against tn westward march ot predatory dictatorship The democra- cies can, however, bring moral pressure to bear, and have already begun doing so. The first steps seem to have been taken by the British and French governments, in withdrawing their ambassadors rom Berlin, as protest against the lnterna- tional coercion and banditry adopted by the Nazisas state policy.
 It might have good effect if other peaceful governments would join III this diplomatic ostracism. There is every req son to believe that majority Of the German people do not sanction Hltler's methods, and such show of external dis approval might supr them to speak out against the laWlessnes sof the group now in control of their country.

Protected Information

The British government has taken a step toward greater freedom of the press. Hitherto the Official Secrets Act has made it possible to compel newspaper man to reveal the source of published in- formation A bill recent yintroduced in Parliament would restrict the application of the act to espionage cases only. Inter- est in such law follows the prosecution ia Manchester reporter who refused to name the official who had given him details of an official memorandum.
 There have been number of recent cases in this country in which newspaper men were questioned about sources of in- formation Whenever the problem has reached the courts for decision in some specific instance, the reporters right to silence has been upheld as an essential part of freedom of the press. It is inter- esting that the British press, which is generally less free than ours, is to attain Ehis particular safeguard by parlia- action.

In political circles they are reporting that Vice-President John. N. Garner already has 200 delegates lined up for the 194O Democratic convention. At first after after you out think it @ over y you begin to to ask yourself where he got those delegates when no one knows yet who may or may not be national delegate. They won't be selected until next year. The way del egates are counted at this early date is simple. A states delegation is simply as- signed to a candidate, presuning, of course, that the delegation will vote as it is told or as it's Democratic organization seems to be inclining at this early date. If we say MT. Garner now has 200 dele gates, we can conclude that his campaign managers are confident that so many states, represented by these 200 delegates, are in favor of Garner at this early date. By next spring they may be for somebody else

Press Comment
WITHOUT TOMATOES (New York Slln)

Some of the ancient popular prej- udice against the tomato has reared its ugly head at Augusta, Maine. True, 1t is a limited and particular prejudice, directed against the use of tomatoes in clam chowder, and incorporated in a bill offered by Representative Cleveland Sleeper Jr. of Rockland. The penalty pro- vided by the bill for the use of toe matoes in clam chowder is severe: the culprit would be required to dig barrel of clans at high tide.
 The broad minded would say that there are two good kinds of clam chowder, one made with milk and one made with tomatoes. The mar row-minded would say that there was but one good kind, the answer depending on the geographical sit- uation of the answerer. The intoler- ant would say that there is no such thing as good clam chowder. Inci- dentally, it would be a nice task for an economic geographer to trace on the map the boundary line between the domains of New England clam chowder and what is variously known as Manhattan and old-fash- toned clam chowder. New England clam chowder is to be found beyond the limits of New England, but the geographer would have to indicate the regions where one or the other variety of clam chowder rules su- preme and to indicate the no mans land where the fight between the two varieties is deadlocked.
