TANKS ARE AS BAD


 Yet, on the other hand, when { tank, remotely controlled, was start ed across the field. cluster of ant tank guns cut loose at it. Thest guns, the army's newest weapon shoot two-pound slug about the size of three golf balls laid end tC end-if you get what we mean.
 The bullets tail is phosphorescent so that it sails through the air like red-hot shot, easy for the gunner to follow. In the core of the shell is bursting charge of powder. The thing will smash through an inch and a half of armor plate, then burst like a rocket.
 That happened to the tank. Fiery hot raced across the field, glow ng like oranges. One of the first shots fired stopped the tank and another piled into it's gasoline tank, setting it afire. So there is no peacc n tanks.
 AS in final burst, we saw 16- nch coast defense gun hurl Q 3100-pound shell across the country idle. We inspected 14-inch ships ar. aor-heavier than that worn by the ll-fated British battleship Roya Oak. Sixteen inch shells had bored -t hole through it as easily as you would poke pencil through a pan 2ake So there is no peace on battle hips.

man Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee and leader of the economy
group, emerge from the White
House with tales of harmonious
consideration than along comes
Representative Woodrum of Vir-
ginia with the news that he ex-
poets the President to send to
Congress Monday or Tuesday a new
and official estimate of Sl5O,OOO 900
for relief needs during the re-
mainder OF the present fiscal year,
which expires June 30. Mr.. Wood
rum led the fight in the House,
When the Presidents 1915, ,OOO, 900 w.
P. A. bill was before that body, to
lop $150000,000 from the measure
and led it successfully.
The truth of the matter is that
the President is not inclined to
back track" He insisted, soon
after the Congress had passed the
w. P. A. deficiency appropriation,
that the $l50,0OO,OOO would still be
needed. Col. Harrington, the new
w. P. A. head, has produced figures
within the last few days to prove
that the additional sum of $780,
100000 would be required unless
lot of reliefers were to be re-
moved from the w. P. A. rolls.
Single Economy Victory.
The cut of Sl5O,000,0OO in the
w. P. A. appropriation. which was
made by Congress in the face of
the strongest possible drive the ad-
ministration could put on to pre-
vent the cut, is the only victory of
the economy crowd so far at the
present session of Congress.
The action of Congress was hailed
all over the country as evidence
that at last the legislative branch
OF the Government was determined
to do something about cutting Gov
ernment expenditures and trying to
put an end to deficiency spending.
Apparently the President is now
going right ahSad to wipe this
gain of the economy crowd of the
boards. AS Senator Adams of Col
orado, Democratic advocate of
economy in Government spending,
points out, the w. P. A. officials and
the President are in a position to
send to Congress any estimates
they may see fit regarding. relief
needs. the number of persons who
should go on the relief rolls. etc.
This makes it extremely difficult
for Congress to stick to its economy
guns.
The congressional Appropriation
Committees have no way of check
ing up on the actual need for re-
lief and the w. P. A. They have
to take to the testimony given them
by the w. P. A. officials. That be-

The Political Mill
Elusive Sleieht-pf-Hond Performance
Being Staged on Economy Issue

Ing the case, 1t looks as though
the House and Senate are likely
to have tough time when they
come to deal with the latest request
of the President for additional mil
lions for the w. P. A. In the SEN
ate the economy group won out in
the slash of $150,OOO,000 from the
original deficiency bill by only one
or two votes. If the President and
his aids worked hard to prevent
this defeat, 1t is a foregove con-
clusion that they will leave no stone
unturned in the coming battle.
Prosperity Argument Used.
The argument the economy
minded members of Congress used
during the last contest with the
President over the w. P. A. ap-
preparations was that business
might pick up, and private en-
ployment would help remove many
form the relief rolls.
The President and his advisers
had predicted that things would
take a turn for the better during
the spring, and their statements
were used by the economy group.
Now it appears however, that things
-business-have not improved ma
terially, although the administra-
ton leaders continue to predict
better conditions. Both the Presi-
dent and Col. Harrington insist
that there will be or should be
3,550,000 persons on the w. P. A.
rolls when July l arrives, and that
1t is essential that the additional
$l50,000,000 be given by Congress
without any more delay. Indeed,
they say there are now 85O,OOO
needy men and women on the w.
P. A. waiting lists.
So the suggestion that the Presi-
dent would throw the economy
group in Congress and in the coun-
try sop by not asking for all the
s150,000,000 additional for the w.
P. A. apparently is without founda-
ton.
Tax Flip-Flop Possible.
Back tracking is not a strong
point with the President. Just
what he is going to do about easing
taxes on business is another mat
ter that Is worrying some of his
advisers, who are strong for the
newly advertised cooperation of
Government with business. The
President will have to do a COM
plete flip-f1op from his position of
last year on taxes unless the tax
experts can think up some new way
OF easing taxes on business that
will make 1t possible for the Presi-
dent to avoid such an acrobatic
feat.
There has been big parade of
the determination of the admins
tration to go to the aid of busi-
ness and to sink its teeth in re-
covery and leave the Well-gnaWed
bone of reform alone for awhile.
1t has been well advertised 0y Sec
retary Harry L. Hopkins of the De-
partment of Commerce, who says
that life is too short to make
speeches and do nothing. So far,
however, nothing tangible has been
produced-and nothing will be pro-
duced without the final o. K. of
the President. No agreement to
less Government spending has come
from the White House. No willing
ness to modify the National Labor
RNations Act has been evinced, and
the amendment of taxes is still in
the air. Though it seems to be
making some headway. if business is
really to pick up under an era of
restored confidence something tan
gible must be done.

Roosevelt High Latest
To Enlist Benefits
Of The Stars Offer

Recognizing the unusual educa-
tinal value of The Stars Music Ap-
probation Campaign, numerous pub
lie schools of the District today are
joining the list of those which al
ready have made the campaign a
part Of their curricula.
The latest school to announce ar
rangements for participating in The
Stars offer is Roosevelt High School,
which next week will add to its
music courses the recordings of SYM
phonic masterpieces which are being
made available as part of the cam
paign.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Margaret r.
Merritt, principal of Taft Junior
High School, reported that several
junior high schools have plans un-
der way for cooperating in the
music appreciation movement.
Approved at Meeting.
At the last monthly meeting of
the principals of the II Junior high
schools in divisions to 9, Mrs. Mer-
ritt said, these school officers were
unanimous in approving the cam
paign as a splendid educational op-
portunity.
She recalled that in the successful
art appreciation campaign conduct
ed by The Star more than year
ago the junior high schools OF the
city made use of the color repro
ductions of famous paintings made
available in the campaign.
It was through the interest OF the
Roosevelt Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton that the students Of music at
the school are to be enabled to study
and enjoy the greatest music OF the
ages.
Mrs. George Barse, president Of
the parent teacher group, was so
enthusiastic about the movement
after she had obtained her own set
of Schubert's unfinished" Sym
phony that she Immediately in
formed Miss May P. Bradshaw,
principal of Roosevelt, that the Or
ganization would purchase the COM
plete set of recordings for the
school.
Welcomes Plan.
Miss Bradshaw accepted the offer
at once, expressing her personal
Endorsement of the campaign. She
explained that Miss Emma Louise
Thompson, music teacher at the
school, had been absent during the
last week and that for this reason
the school would not begin active
participation in the campaign until
next week.
This is one of the finest things
The Star has ever done," Mrs. Barse
said. II can't describe how much
enjoyment I've received already IN
playing the recordings Of the I'm
finished over and over again, and
my children are just as enthusiastic
about 1t.

DR.. Walsh Urges
Congress 10 Attack
Spending Problem
False Step Seen in
Seeking Small Savings
In Recognizing

Suggesting that the Seventy sixth
Congress should emulate the first
session of 1889 by putting first
things first Dr. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., vice president of Georgetown
University last night protested the
man in the street has an uneasy
feeling that Congress is barking up
the wrong tree in seeking to effect
| insignificant economies in reorganiz-
ing the Government bureaus.
Administrative reform is laud-
able but secondary in Importance,
in point of time and consequence"
! he told an audience in Memorial
Continental Hall "The imperative
and honest attack should be leveled
at certain public policies of. grants.
subsidies, loans, and those other
enormous spendings that are hur-
rying us toward a S50,0O0 000, 900 in
ternal debt"
Only 1765 per cent of the Nations S
$10000,000,000 annual budget goes
for administrative costs, the George
town educator declared. THE pub.
lie credit of the United States has
been endangered not by legitimate
costs of administration" he said,
"but by public policy of uncontrolled
and reckless spending that has pau
perized unnecessarily large masses
OF our population and created 2
psychology of blase personal ire
sponsibility as to the means-pain-
full and heroic though they may be
which are required to conquer de-
preston"
No Security Guarantee.
DR.. Walsh declared no mortal man
can guarantee complete and collec-
tive security against the hazards in
ctdent to human existence in the
world as at present constituted. He
protested, however, that "the con.
vlctlon that government is morally
bound to guarantee every individual
citizen a position, livelihood and
financial subsidy. has been growing
apace In this country. aided and
abetted by certain reckless spokes-
men in high places"
The first Congress of the United
States was faced not by problems of
reorganization in government but bv
the elemental need of creating a
new government from foundation
to ridge pole and roof" the George
town educator pointed out.
Opportunity for Congress.
The present Congress faces a SINH
lar opportunity, he claimed, as 1t ap-
.proaches the remaining problems OF
recovery "in far healthier mood of
balanced judgment and critical in
quiry than characterized its atti-
tude during the days OF panic legis-
lation."
In dealing with the reorganiza-
ton bill, he reminded, the Govern
ment should bear in mind that the
formidable multiplication" of bu-
reaus and authorities took place in
the last few years.
1T has been wholly unreasonable
and somewhat desingenuous for the
creators of that new bureaucracy
to then cry ineficiency =" and
seek to recast the spirit of govern
ment under pretense of correcting
administrative abuses which they
themselves had cultivated beyond
any record thus far available" he
| added.
