A Sound RuIino

Decision of the Acting Controller
General that the District of Colum-
bia is properly included under the
terms OF the act providing for tech
nical training courses in connection
with the national defense program
clears the atmosphere on this point
and assures completion of the
courses now under way in five
schools here.
With 900 persons enrolled in the
courses, it was unfortunate that the
perennial question of the status of
the National Capital in relation to
the rest of the United States had
to be raised. Washington being
neither State nor a subdivision
thereof, both of which were specified
in the law as eligible for the allot-
ment of funds, the controllers ruling
determined that the Capital is in
cluded under the term "other public
authorities"
THESE training courses, which are
designed principally to fit individ-
uals who have technical training for
the specialized tasks which the ma
tional defense will require of their
trades, are one of the most impor-
tant primary steps in the prepared
ness program. Through them ar
tlsans and others, especially those
long unemployed or engaged in other
types of work, will be enabled to
bring their knowledge of their trades
up to date and be ready to step into
defense tasks as opportunities arise.
1t would have been ridiculous, to
say the least, had the District been
excluded from participation in this
phase of the preparedness effort.

Says Secretary Wallace
Should Vacate Office

To the Editor OF The Star:
Timely, indeed, is your editorial of july
g. captioned Mr.. Wallaces Problem"
which analyzes the reason why this cabi-
net officer should vacate office, if he is to
be campaign participant.
1t is encouraging, however, when
high official in Government, of his own
volition, elects to divorce politics from
his official position. 1t represents growth
in idealism and not retrogression. Rem
der unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars is as epigramatic today as it
was at time of original announcement,
and as worthy of practice.
Mr.. Wallace might set fine example,
If, when vacating Office, he should also
take with him his political secretary" or
cause him to be placed in a leave with
out pay status
If there is to be "clean politics" II
should be so 100 per cent.

New Inconsistency in
Hitler Propaganda.
To the Editor of The Sta


German radio stations, it was stated,
would keep on dinning Hitlers words
regarding his peace of1e) into English
ears until the proverbial man-on-the-
street knows exactly what is in store for
him if he does not get rid of the ruling
plutocratic clique"
OF course, one has ceased to wonder
at the inconsistencies which characterize
the record of the Nazi regime. but
here is an interesting spectacle of Hitler
using with enthusiasm the very facility
of which he has deprived his own people.
If the German man-o -the-street has
any power of individual discernment left
to him outside the regimented field of
thought into which he has been herded
by the Nazi domination, he must have
at least an evanescent wonder at this
turn. Hitler here would seem to indorse
free radio-contends that it is by him.
self hearing the German broadcasts that
the English man. -the-street is en-
abled to learn the truth of the situation.
Yet the German himself is denied such
opportunity, is forbidden to listen to for
eign broadcasts, unless sanctioned by
the Nazi authority, under serious pen
atty.
OF course, the German must believe
that foreign broadcasts derogatory to
the Nazi regime are lying propaganda.
Such a broadcast as Hitler is dinning
into English ears if it emanated from
Britain, would, of course, be nothing
but British lies. The German man-on-
the-street believes that Germany alone
broadcasts the truth.
Or does he? D. BIC.

difficulties Of enforcement. When
the original Hatch Act was passed,
sponsors decided that the long
established civil service ban on
public expression of political opinion
should be ruled out so far as nom
civil service employees were con-
cerned, believing it too severe. The
amended act made no such excep-
tion and the State employees conse-
quently are subject to the same
speech limitations as Federal civil
service employees.
AS an offset to all the new prob
lens, however, is the fact that the
commission has had more than fifty
years experience with similar legis-
lation regulating the conduct of civil
service workers and this will stand
it in good stead as it's field of en-
forcement is widened.

SIXTEENTH STREET.


Dear Sir:
Your column is always a pleasure
and often an inspiration.
Since you mention in a recent issue
of The Star familiarity with but one
poem in praise of the thrushs song, !
infer you have not read Mr.. Sill's musical
lines.
Hence the inclosure. grateful read
er, C. l.. S."
The poem by Edward Rowland Sill is
as follows,
THE THRUSH.
The thrush sings high in the topmost
bough,
Low, louder, low again; and now
He has changed his tree-you know not
how,
For you saw no fitting wing
All the notes of the forest throng,
Flute, reed and string are in his song.
Never fear knows he, nor wrong,
Nor doubt of anything.
Small room for care in that soft breast,
All weather that comes is to him the best,
While he sees his mate close on her nest
And the woods are full of spring.
He has lost his last years love, I know.
He, too-but It's little he knows of woe;
For bird forgets in a year-and so
No wonder the thrush can sing.
y
Most of the wood thrushes in our yard
have sung from low bough, rather than
high one.
But it makes no difference. for the
song is beautiful no matter from whence
1t comes
Not all specimens are equal singers.
Occasionally bird will arrive with a
far sweeter voice than others Yet all
OF them are wonderful enough. Even
that one with the rusty voice, as we
called 1T, was a fine singer.
Distance perhaps helps make the
thrush song sWeeter. We are not sure
about this; those we have heard close
at hand sound just about as good. But
there can seem to be little doubt that
this bird has such powerful voice that
little distance tones it down a trife.
Thus, from whatever distance, the song
OF the wood thrush is pleasing to the
ear
Since it possesses a definite song pat
tern, much better defined than the song
OF the average bird, this thrush in
stantly catches the human ear.
1t is real little song it sings, not an
outpouring along the recitative line such
as the mockingbird or the catbird gives
US.

The song OF the wood thrush (the only
thrush which comes familiarly to our
gardens in this vicinity is of such a
tuneful pattern, according to human

against Germany in the beginning of
this war. 1t was stated recently through
the press that Germany was planning
to conduct this same form of warfare
against England.
If the present policy is continued by
the Red Cross, Hitler will defeat Eng
land, which will in turn endanger our
own safety. j. J. BRIDGES.

More Swimming Pools
Sought for Washington.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
Most fathers and mothers are anxious
that their children learn how to swim.
Most children and grownups, too, have
the very normal desire to live near and
have access to some kind of a clean"
swimming hole, pool, lake or beach.
Yet we have more than 1000 people
constantly trying to squeeze into one OF
our local swimming pools at the same
time.
Nine hundred are squeezed in-and
present the appearance of flies swarm
ing over pot of honey"
This in my opinion, is unhygienic, un-
fair and indecent.
Washington in the summer is a CITY
of heat and humidity, and has a crying
need OF many more bigger and better
outdoor swimming pools-with ample
shaded surroundings
They would soon pay for the price of
their construction and upkeep-and the
entry charge should be within reach of
all pocketbooks.

Comments on Purpose
OF Red Cross.

10 the Edltor OF The Star:
Is it wise plan, or are we doing some
thing that will react against our own
best interests by spending large sums of
money through the Red Cross and other
relief agencies to relieve suffering that
the warning nations of Europe are bring
ing upon themselves? Is such a policy
in keeping with the purpose of the Red
Cross? 1t is my opinion that the organ
izers of the Red Cross never intended it
to be used to assist any foreign warning
nation. AS view it the purpose OF the
Red Cross is to relieve suffering caused
by some unavoidable disaster, such as an
epidemic of some kind, fires, floods, earth
quakes, etc.
Starving nation into submission is an
important measure Of war. and was the
policy adopted by England and France

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Army draft question will raise
many pros and cons, and while this Is
going on would like to draw the atten-
ton of Senator Norris and a few of his
brother politicians to the fact that unless
We have compulsory military service
many thousands of eligible men will

scription is damned by Ger tain races.

It was a bad night for Stpreroom aS they bumped into the District En- gineers at the wrong time and came out on the short end of a three to one score so their two point lead was whittled away and they are now in 8 tie for first place with the Engi- neers and Meter Readers. It was simply a case of too much Wimpy BeardSlee, Nelson and Lynch.
 Another great match with the stakes high although there was not, a championship involved found the Welfarers moving down the Ga. ragers. Working on the theory that ii, you get in the first punch it wor- ries your opponent, Welfare took the firt game by 8 wide margin and from then on Joe May, Commodore Beck ley and company rolled like a bunch of muscle bound sailors. There were rumors current before the game that Gerard Harrington had a paid gallery to cast a hypnotic spell over his adversaries. The only one we think who was hypnotized was Fran coiS Smith.
 Ed McLean's Line A took three points from the golden gladiators of George Barnes to pick up some ground in the race and the linemen still have chance of finishing one. two, three.
 It looked very bad for Meter A in the first two. games with the Ser vicemen and their chances of stay- ing up with the leaders didn't ap- pear bright with two points against them. However, Dick Hyland pulled two points out of the hat by rolling 1a4, . new high single for the year sM the last game which lllled the Servicemen to sleep.
 Russ Hicock's Production Engi- neers warmed up for their big match with the Dispatchers this week by taking three points from the Sales Engineers. Russ continued his good rolling and for this young mans in- formation he is right on top of the list for high individual average. Bill Jebb, manager of the Waterbury she Sales boys but his dykes were district, tried to stem the tide for not high enough.
 Harry Owens had his Line B run around the block g few times to thaw them out but they did not warm up enough and the Dispatchers grabbed three points.
 Tine storm finally broke. Sales B had their best night of the year and the victims were Jack Roberts Con- struction A. Jack denoted Frank aWot a Hook" Synott to assistant ari- chor man and promoted Nookie Stokes to anchor man. It didn't work out ais q winning move however. Sales B were 50 good that they grabbed off the high team total prize for the week.
 If the Collectors don't improve over their showing with Constrlc- < toin B 1t will be just too bad for chem in their match with the Meter Read CTS this week; when you see Bill 2 Knight and Otto Mouiliet rolling in the seventies and eighties there is something Nrong.

Nevertheless they all admit they got a lot of fun out of rolling Fridays. Everyone likes to win but losing never got this bunch down.
 Bob Nelson's Statesmen were really lucky in taking three points from John Devito's metermen. These thgee points kept Sales, in the race but their fellow workers are not going to spare them this week. And Meter B are champing at the bit to get at Meter A.
 The banquet as has been stated before will be held Saturday evening, March 9th. In the afternoon the sweepstakes for the members of the league will be held at SenaS Alleys starting at 3 o'clock.

 One more point which should be made is the general satisfaction, which has been freely expressed by the bowlers with the 90 per cent handicap basis which has been used by the league. How this has 80 efil. ciently worked out can be clearly seen by looking at the standing of the teams after eighteen weeks of bowling. Nice work, bowling com mittee.
