no pigs in the parlors but there
were pigs on the streets about 8
o'clock one morning, when three
good sized porkers on their way
to market, tumbled out of live
stock truck on it's way through
town. Befuddled in the midst of
staring pedestrians and lodging
motorists on their way to work,
the first hog waddled anxiously
about the street in the 1000 block.
Drivers and their passengers, re-
covering from the unusual sight,
were further amazed to find an
other hog in the 900 block and
another in the block beyond. The
truker failed to notice his loss un-
til he was well on his way in the
downtown district.

Wants Special Stamps to
Honor Stephen Foster.

AZ Vic GoitoT OF Inc star:
In your time in Washington, no doubt
you've witnessed many attempts to get
special stamps issued honoring Americas
men OF genius in the arts. Why such
stamps have not till now been authorized
do not know.
However, I have come to the Capital
IN the interests of the Kostelanetz Com
mittee, which desires to see Stephen
Foster honored with special stamp No
American musical genius has a more
rightful claim to such an honor. Andre
Kostelanetz and his committee associates,
Lawrence Tibbet, Deems Taylor and
John Erskine, all of them eminent mu-
sicians, feel that no greater talent has
enriched American music in the IS years
since Fosters death in 1864. The pro-
posed tribute is the least that the Nation
can officially pay to one of its greatest
sons.
In Its campaign for this Foster stamp,
the koStelanetz Committee has had the
valuable cooperation of Representative
Lex Green of Florida, Representative
Joe Hendricks, likewise of Florida, and
Representative Herman j. Eberharter of
pennsylvania. Sentiment in favor of this
stamp has been rapidly growing. and
when news Of the progress to date is
released to the public the demand should
become even greater. TED WILDE.

D. A. R. CONGRESS

The forty eighth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution has met at a time
when a demonstration of patriotism
may have helpful effect not only in
Washington but in the world at large.
Such love Of country as it will show
is force which ought not to be
underestimated in its influence both
at home and abroad. It is a con-
structive power of the highest dy-
manic significance in a period when
democratic institutions everywhere
are threatened and imperiled.
OF course, there are critics who
pretend to believe that patriotism is
a vice. During the past two score
years it has been fashionable among
certain "intellectuals" to deplore
anything and everything designed to
strengthen native bonds. In the
name Of a theoretical utopia of uni
versal proportions, it has been argued
that national cultures and idealisms
should be eliminated from the pat
tern Of human thinking. There has
been conscious effort to defect the
attention of youth from natural love
of country toward victory In what is
known - "ths class struggles

wish to bring this out. Not in my many
years of travel have I seen a barnlike
building for an armory. Generally the
armory is one of the most substantial
structures in city.
Congress should heed the wishes of
nearly every one in this city and build
at the foot of East Capitol street and
have adjoining it the largest and best
built stadium in the world. The writer
also still favors fine auditorium in the
same vicinity. A fine stadium will pay
for the building and upkeep of an armory

Finish the Job

There is cause for rejoicing in the
passage by the House of bill author
izing completion of the Navy and
Marine Memorial on Columbia Is
land.
Since 1884 this unique tribute to
the Americans who have gone to sea
to fight for their country has been
in a state of partial completion-a
source of vexation and disappoint-
ment rather than of pride.
Americans in all walks of life,
among them several million school
children and teachers, have contrib
uted to the $4,000 fund which has
carried the memorial to its present
state of partial completion. Many
of them, visiting Washington, have
expressed chagrin over the fact that
the otherwise beautiful monument,
with its cresting sea wave and soar
ing gulls, has been left on a rough
concrete surbase surrounded by
weeds and brush.
The memorial is the only one dedi-
Gated to Americans lost at sea and
the unkempt neglect into which it
has fallen undoubtedly has been a
source of sorrow to relatives and
friends of our sea dead who have
gone to Columbia Island to visit
what should be beautiful shrine.
1t is to be hoped that the Senate
will pass the bill without delay so
that the funds thus authorized may
be appropriated during the present
session of Congress, permitting re-
sumption of work on the memorial
this summer.

Jupun's Gratitude

Amid the ceremonial of receiving
the ashes of Hirosi Saito, former
japanese Ambassador here, a depth
of gratitude to the United States has
welled up among the japanese people
almost without parallel since Amer
lea came to the relief of earthquake
stricken Nippon in 1923.
The japanese people are simple
folk, direct in the display of their
emotions, and as ready, as in the
case of the Panay sinking, to show
their sympathy for the unfortunate
American victims of their own war
machine as they are to manifest
their gratefulness for an ordinary
act of courtesy.
Thus President Roosevelts assign
ment of an American cruiser to bear
home the remains of Japanese
envoy who had striven earnestly to
interpret his governments policies
here-and to allay what he saw was
a rising tide of resentment against
Tokio-touched the heart strings of
the people of Nippon, evoking spon-
taneous expressions of japanese.
Against backdrop of constant
American opposition to the course of
Japan's military hierarchy in China
this gesture of appreciation to man
who had served the cause of friend
ship between the nations stirred
depth of feeling. Rigidly polite in
their own personal relations, the
Japanese were quick to reciprocate
the spirit behind the American
gesture. And Americans are certain
to distinguish the difference between
the spirit Of the japanese people and
the spirit Of its government toward
America.
What for Americans was a simple
act OF courtesy to a diplomat who
had won their esteem was for the
japanese a step toward conciliation.
But it would be serious mistake for
the people of Japan to conclude that
the tribute paid Saito indicates any
lessening of American condemnation
of the barbarous war against China
or that it in any sense is condon-
ance of treaty violations on the part
OF the japanese government.

The Strecker Case

The long-aWaited decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Joseph
George Strecker really decided very
little-only that past membership in
the Communist party, under existing
law, is not of itself sufficient ground
for deportation.
In constituting the applicable
statute the Court, with persuasive
logic, decided that its language did
not express an intent on the part of
Congress to require the deportation
of an alien like Strecker, who, prior
to his arrest, had resigned from the
Communist party after member
ship of some three months. On that
point the majority opinion said: In
the absence of such expression (of
Congressional intent we conclude
that it is the present membership,
or present affiliation-a fact to be
determined on evidence-which ."
requires deportation"
From that language it may reason
ably be assumed that the Depart
ment of Labor can deport any alien
who, at the time of his arrest, is
member of the Communist organiza-
ton. But If it is desired to get rid
of Communist aliens who merely be-
long to the party and give up their
Affiliations day or week prior
to arrest, Congress, under the
Strecker decision, will have to amend
the law to express clearly such an
intent.
Considering the length of time
this case has been in the courts, it
Is perhaps unfortunate that the
justices refused to overlook defect
In the Governments petition for
certiorari-a step for which there is
precedent decide the matter on
the first ground set forth in the
warrant for deportation, namely,
that Strecker believes in and teaches
the overthrow, by force and violence,
OF this Government. Responsibility
for the failure to present this point
properly in the petition rests, of
course, with the Government, but it
does not appear that Strecker's rights
would have been prejudiced had the
Supreme Court decided that issue,
and the expense and delay of a new
proceeding against him-if there is
to be one-would have been avoided.
AS matters stand now the Strecker
ruling can have little application to
the case of Harry Bridges, West
Coast labor leader, whose deportation
has been demanded in several quar-
ters. Unless Congress sees fit to
amend the law, it would seem that
Bridges can be deported only if he

that few species of birds can fly as fast

Many motorists make the same mis-
takes in estimating the ability of animals
to look out for themselves.
Dogs, for example. often will run out
into traffic apparently oblivious of the
presence of automobiles in the vicinity.
Motorists have been astonished at their
"dumbness" for so doing. But it is not
"dumbness" in the sense that the driver
generally supposes. The dogs range of
vision, literally, is far more limited than
that of the human. The latter can cover
an area Of 100 degrees if his eyes are
normal. The dog cannot see objects ap-
preaching from the side. The physical
limitation of the animal, therefore, leads
him into dangers from which safe escape
depends entirely upon the drivers living
up to his responsibility under the moral
law. WILLIAM ULLMAN.
