Economic HghHghts

1t should be remembered that
business was improving in this
country before Germany invaded
Poland, - and Britain and France
declared war. Therefore, late
jumps in the business cycle can
not be entirely laid to hostilities
abroad. War was a boom" fac
tor, but it didn't change down
ward trend into an upward
trend. It simply accelerated Ito
an immense extent in some lines)
the betterment that had set in
some time before.
The first weeks of the war saw
frenzied buying and manufac-
turing-everybody seemed to be
trying to get in on the ground
floor at once, before prices shot
skyward. That first, rather hys-
terical phase of the current inn
provemert apparently has pass
ed. The uptrend in the barome-
tiers continues, but at a slow
pace. The outlook is that future
betterment will also be slow-but
it is a fact which you can take for
what it is worth that practically
all of the economists feel that il
will continue.
Business is better than most OF
us realize. Industrial production
today is close to the 1929 level
some barometers show it even
slightly above that point. A
number of industries have act
ually passed the pre-depression
peak. OF these, the most i'm
portant is steel, which recently
touched a new high. Other in

AlDerJO ACeVoQO, FlTdLe ace
second baseman who has become
headache to pitchers when he
walks to the batter's box with
men on bases, is leading the cir
cult with most runs batted-in,
while Esmond "Tarzan" Albury,
Conch infielder, is credited with
most stolen bases. Extra-base
hit lead is held by Clayton Ster-
ling, Troians' husky first sacker.
John Offutt, Conch infielder, is
next in most extra base hits with
a homer and three-bagger to his
credit.
Armando Fernandez, Blue Sox

as Pie Traynor, does not as

Arlington Zoninq
The plan of the Arlington Co,

The plan of the Arlington County
Zoning Administrator to require GER
tif1cates Of occupancy for all COM
mercial establishments merits pub
lie cooperation. In the past zoning
regulations in Washington's environs
have not attained their full effective
ness because of somewhat lax en-
forcement. This has led to difficulties
such as the current controversy in
Montgomery County over a petition
for reclassification of an inn, which
some civic leaders contend raises the
possibility Of a dangerous precedent
that may lead to much Objectionable
"spot" zoning.
It has been estimated that more
than 200 violations of the zoning laws
are going unprosecuted in Mont
gomery County. In Arlington "nu-
merous non-conforming use condi-
tions" are said to exist. There has
been statutory power to require the
operation of commercial establish
ments in Arlington in commercial
zones only. But rapid growth of the
county, keeping the zoning Office busy
with other matters. has prevented
complete enforcement in the past.
The Arlington plan, which closely
resembles the system in use in Wash
ington. contemplates air-tight en-
forcement in the future, however,

fustng to accept business license

Slipping

Back in the good old days the most
fashionable and aristocratic mani
acs used to be Napoleons. They led
simple, happy lives, usually being al
lowed the full run of the palace
grounds all the way up to the brick
wall with the broken bottles on top.
The passing of years has gradually
reduced the number Of synthetic Ma
poleons until they have become
something of a rarity. Only the
largest and best-equipped institu-
tions boast occasional specimens, and
the smaller run-of- -the-mine brain
colleges have to be content with in
ferior substitutes like the Prince of
Peru or the Queen OF Peruna.
The recent rise Of the Nazi party
has offered a new scope for fancy
mania. Amateur Hitlers began to
appear in France, and Just before
Munich had reached the startling
total of sixty-seven. But eventually
their pacemaker, the Hitler of Berch-
tesgaden, went too fast for them.
Unable to keep up, one by one the
pseudo Hitlers are dropping out.
This proves that the Fuehrer is slip
ping-the inexorable inroads of san
ity have cut the present membership
to mere twenty-five.

PIoy Facilities

A request that larger appropria-
ton be allowed by Congress for the
development of Fairgrounds in
Washington is to be made at the
next session, Lewis r. Barrett, direc-
tor of public recreation, recently told
the Council of Social Agencies.
In its main features, the proposal
is one which deserves support. But the
means of accomplishing the desired
end is one which should be carefully
studied in order to avoid an un-
necessarily heavy burden on the
community's tax income. AS Mr..
Barrett points out, many areas have
been purchased for playground pur-
poses in the past and left in an
unfinished state, a condition which
still prevails. This is true of recrea-
tion centers in all sections of the
city. At present some of these are
being improved, and some are being
graded with w. P. A. assistance and
other forms of relief labor. Some
help has been offered by the c. c. c.
But In the main too large a proper
ton Of the recreational resources Of
the city are lying dormant.
1t is not enough to merely grade
OF a playing field. Such grounds
attract only comparatively small
groups. Every spring in recent years
Washington has seen a demand for
improvement of the play centers in
order to keep children off the streets.
This Is followed in the summer by
more or less frantic demands for
the opening of more and more CEN
ters. Yet many children, even those
within sight of the public play
grounds, continue to play in the
streets. The reason does not lie in
any lack Of sufficient grounds nor
necessarily in any shortage of super
visory personnel. The prime cause is
that many Fairgrounds are too
poorly equipped to attract a larger
number of children, or they are not
so equipped as to draw the in
terest of all types and ages. Suffi-
cient equipment of proper diversity
to fit in with the fickleness of child
hoods interests is the urgent need.
Under legislation of several years
past, including the Capper- Cramton
bill, the parks of the Capital have
flourished. Wise planning for long
range development has brought
about a steady, co-ordinated growth
Of the parks system which, in a
comparatively brief space of time,
has become standard for the coun-
try. The planning has been done
in manner which makes the cost
a welcome expenditure. Similar
planning over period of years would
serve to provide for constant i'm
provement Of the Fairgrounds with
out unduly upsetting the ratio of
expenditures to tax income

County officials realize that the
longer they put of enforcing zon-
ing regulations the greater the diff
culties they will face. The current ef-
fort, belated as it is, will save trouble
in the future. It is unfortunate, of
course, that there has not been some
such effort before.
AS WaShingtons future growth is
bound to be chiefly in the suburban
communities, the entire Capital area
has an interest in the proper and
orderly development Of the territory
under the jurisdiction of nearby zon-
ing agencies.

termine not to comply with its pro-
visions until forced to do SO.
But both of these groups now are
on notice as the result Of the instruc-
tions sent out over the signature of
Edward G. Kemp, assistant to the
Attorney General. The letter is clear,
and it follows that failure to COM
ply with its instructions will be de-
liberate and should be so treated.
The law, as the letter points out,
forbids Federal employees ito hold
any office in any political party, or
ganization or political club" and
directs all employees with such con-
nections either to sever them or quit
the Government service.
But one local official presumably is
af1ected. John B. Colpoys, the United
States Marshal, for years had headed
the Democratic Central Committee
which functions quadrennially. Mr..
Colpoys presumably will prefer to re-
inquish this Office rather than that
of marshal; apparently he cannot re-
tain both.
In discussing the new warning to
those persons under the Jurisdiction
of the Department Of Justice, Mr..
Murphy emphasized the necessity for
Tightening the law, suggesting, for
example, its extension to the en-
ployeS of State agencies who are paid
partly from Federal funds.
Some action along this line prob
ably will be taken in the next Con-
gress, as members indicated belief in
this principle at the last session by
setting up higher employment stand
ards for personnel administering
joint Federal-State functions under
the Social Security Act.
In the meantime, it is gratifying
that full force is being given to the
law within its present limits.

Hatch Act Reminder

The circular letter the Department
Of Justice is sending to United States
Attorneys, United States Marshals,
and their assistants, directing atten-
ton again" to the Hatch Act, and
emphasizing that they must dis
associate themselves from all po-
litical activities, was not simply an
afterthought by Attorney General
Murphy, but was prompted by a Ger
tain degree of failure to heed the law
on the part of some Of those to whom
he has written.
1t was to be expected that some
Federal employees would not realize
the extent to which the legislation
circumscribed their political labors,
and that others would secretly de-
