Town Hall Proqrum

Izaak Walton is famous for many
things. The art of angling was one
OF the enthusiasmS to which his
celebrity traces back. A considered
opinion that good company and
good discourse are the very sinews of
virtue" may be regarded as another
reason for holding him in grateful
remembrance. He knew from much
experience the profit to be derived
from friendly free discussion" and
his example, it would seem, may be
cited in helpful relation to the pro-
gram of the Town Hall of Washing
ton, now announced.
The speakers engaged for the series
of meetings, beginning Sunday eve
ming, January S, include the Arch
duke Otto of Austria and his brother,
the Archduke Felix; Alexander Ker-
enSky, Premier of Russia after the
fall of the Gar in 1917; Bertrand
Russell, Thomas Mann, Rear Admiral
H. E. Yarnell, Miss Dorothy Thomp-
son, Leland Stowe, DR.. William Lyon
Phelps, Nine. Genevieve Tabouis,
Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner and John
j. Anthony. Each of these "attrac-
tionS" is qualified to debate at least
one public question of Importance to
Americans in the prevailing world
crisis. Considered as a group, they
represent the liberal intelligence of
a democratic culture which, War
from being hurt by current testing,
is being quickened into more ex-
uberant vitality. 1t is of the essence
of social freedom that people should
be educated by exposition, interpre-
tation and rebuttal. On the con-
tinent of Europe and in a large por-
ton of the Orient talk is controlled
by arbitrary authority. It is dan
gerous to speak ones mind in the
shadow of a sword. But it would be

Old Tree

This sycamore that stands upon our
street,
Hoary, patched, its knotted arms out
spread
Against the bleakness Of the snowy sleet
That crackles on the branches birds
have fed,
Is like a man Of mellow years, who still
Is sound of heart and firm and strong
of limb;
Who bears with patient sufferance the i'll
But dares the winds of life to shatter
him;
Who robbed of youths full leafiness, is
yet
Master Of each untoward circum-
stance;
Wearing the gold of autumn's fine
brevet
Possessed of shining faith and tolerance
But past the bitter toll Of aches and
tears
And wise with gathered wisdom of thu
years.

Orderly City Growth

Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, has outlined in
convincing fashion the increasingly
serious problems which confront
modern cities as their skylines push
upward and their populations grow
in density. A resident of Chicago
for thirty years, Mr.. Delano saw at
first hand how the rise of building
heights in the Loop business district
was followed at first by a temporary
boom in property values, but finally
by collapse of such proportions
that local blights ensued and many
tall buildings we're torn down. Cor
related to what Mr.. Delano called
this economic dry rot" is the prob
lem of congested streets due to traffic
concentration in overbuilt areas.
1t was with the distressing expert
ences of Chicago and of other large
cities in mind that Mr.. Delano ap-
peared before the District Zoning
Commission in support of the pro-
posal to rescind zoning regulation
permitting erection of setback
buildings to a height twenty feet
beyond the statutory limit Of ITO
feet. Mr.. Delano believes it was a
mistake not only to allow 130-fOOt
buildings of the setback type, but
to raise the height limit from the
ninety-foot maximum that once pre-
vailed. There are many Washing
tonianS who share these opinions.
They are moved not alone by eSthetic
considerations although these are
particularly important in the Capital
Of the Nation-but by anxiety over
the downtown traffic situation and its
bearing on safety and trade. Down.
town streets have become cluttered
with parked automobiles, narrowing
the channels for the free flow of
moving vehicles. Accident hazards
thus are increased, transportation is
impeded and shopping is made more
difficult. Mr.. Delano pointed out
that "every building of great height
or bulk, and consequent enlarged
floor space, throws burden on the
owners of other property and the
city as a whole"
Since any growth of the city ver-
tically tends to aggravate the con-
pestion of human beings and motor
cars in given section, an obvious
remedy is to spread the city out.
This principle long has guided the
Park and Planning Commission in
formulating its program for the
future development of Washington.
With the Northwest and Southwest
parts of the city approaching the
saturation point in buildings, the
commission has been looking toward
the east. Under this carefully con-
ceived program, the area east of the
Capitol is being laid out as great
parkway and public building center
of tomorrow, with East Capitol street
as monumental thoroughfare. In
telligent planning of this kind is the
best insurance against the blight and
the dry rot which has afflicted so
many of Americas larger cities.

A Grove Issue

A recent ruling by the first division
OF the National Railroad Adjustment
Board, ordering the reinstatement of
a Pennsylvania Railroad engineman
who was dismissed for reporting for
work while under the influence of
LIQUOR, raises an issue of fundamental
Importance.
The record as given in a statement
by the railroad shows that the en-
gineer was relieved of duty after
other members of the crew observed
his condition, and physician stated
In writing that he was absolutely
unfit to handle an engine due to the
effects of alcohol"
In the face of this evidence, and
despite the fact that the engineer
had been penalized for intoxicati ton
on a previous occasion. the division
which handles complaints arising in
train and yard service, upon hearing
his appeal, directed reinstatement
with pay for time lost-approximate-
ly UWO yCdlS. AZ ACdC1l ooSiA q w
cision, according to the railroad, the
board resorted to technicality, con-
Guiding that the engineman had not
been given fair hearing because he
was ordered discharged before the
investigation of the matter was
closed.
The case as outlined points to a
fragrant maladministration of the
law. For many years the railroads,
by "Rule G." have forbidden use Of
intoxicants by employees, under pain
of dismissal, and for reasons so OBJ
vious that it is unthinkable that the
principle should be cast aside. If
there were any suspicion that the
workman's rights had not been safe
guarded, another hearing could and
should have been held; but certainly
there was enough substance to the
charge against him to preclude an
arbitrary order for his reinstatement.

Escape From Convention

A West End club in London is from
all accounts sort of sacred shrine
peopled with earls, dukes, marquises
and the like, nobody lower than
baronet being considered worthy OF
admission. In keeping with the SOL
emn dignity of the place. the per-
sonnet is clad almost as gorgeously
as the well-dressed man in copy of
Esquire. Fitted out as they are by
bespoken tailors, they would feel like
hoboS if deprived of their spats.
Think, then, of the blow they re-
ceived in the West End when they
saw member, who had been out of
town on business since last May,
wander in wearing baggy, dirty, white
flannel trousers, oversize broganS,
purple jacket and a spotted yellow
tie. Nor was it a callow baronet,
who had perchance lost a bet and
with youthful folly laid himself open
to such degradation. No, it was a
genuine, guaranteed earl-the Earl
of Cardigan-no less. Murmurs of
pity arose that so noble figure had
gone of the deep end. Any lingering
doubt that the peer was unbalanced
was dissipated when they heard him
actually speak affectionately of his
apparel.
But they were wrong. The Earl,
captured by the Nazis at ST. Omer in
May, and sent to prison camp, had
managed to slip away. Correctly as
suming that he would not get far in
a British uniform, he had discarded
it in favor Of less fashionable but
infinitely more practical escape uni
form.

road Adjustment Board, declaring
that in a major proportion of the

Unless there is more to the present

is not without foundation, and it is

An Appeal for Help
From London Rector
U. S. Contributions Sought
To Repair Church
Of st. Andrew
TO the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
am sure that many Of your readers
who have visited London probably went
not only to st. Pauls Cathedral and the
Tower of London, but also to some OF
the churches in the highways and by
ways of the City.
1t is an inspiration to hear Bow bells,
to see st. Bartholomew's, Smithfeld,
dating back to 1923, and known as Lon
don's most beautiful parish church; to
stroll down Fleet street, recalling its as
sociation with Dr. johnson, or College
Hill and its link with Dick Wilmington.
The history of my church goes back
to 1900. 1t originally was known as ST..
Andrew, juxta Baynard Castle, being
close to a castle built by William the
Conqueror to guard the mouth OF the
River Fleet, where 1t flows into the
Thames. 1t got its present title when
Edward III was living in the castle.
He wanted more room for his retainers
and his robes, and bought large man.
sion close to st. Andrews Church for
that purpose. So it was that we became
ST. Andrew by or near the Kings ward
robe. The church, the castle and the
mansion perished in the great fire Of
1866. The River Fleet continued an
open river until 1865 Along its banks
a rough community settled and worked,
for the City Corporation would not have
trades with an unpleasant smell at
tached to them within the City walls.
This was how London's slums began.
But in 1892 new st. Andrews was
built by Sir Christopher Wren, and so
we have been looking forward to our
250th anniversary in 1912.
Now, however, as result of afraid
damage we are in a sorry state. A num-
ber of the stained glass windows have
has been put out of order, part of the
stone ballustrade running along the roof
is in a dangerous condition, as we'll as
other damage.
We are faced with the problem Of
raising f2,500 to put the building in
order. Delay will increase the cost owing
to the penetration of dust and damp
because of broken windows.
In ordinary times this might be
sum which could be raised in the City
itself, but the City has suffered consid-
erably from AFRAID attacks. And so
we are obliged to look further afleld for
help from people who value these ancient
shrines with their historical interest and
architectural attractiveness. They can
never be replaced. Surely we ought to
make an effort to keep them. In the
heart of the British Empire the spires
Of the City churches are constant re-
minder that man does not live by bread
alone.
If any Of your readers can help us to
put st. Andrew by the Wardrobe in
good order again, shall indeed be
grateful.

THIS AND THAT
Bp Charles Z. TrGce1cel.

There are enough pencils made In the
United States each year to give every
man, woman and child at least six apiece.
Many Of us would not use up our quota
because we use typewriters and pens
more, but still the pencil holds place
in the personal affections.
It may be because it was the first
writing instrument used in the days Of
long ago, or was that piece of chalk or
the pencils used on states?
The typical lead pencil still has place
occupied by no other instrument.
What would we do without it for jot-
ting down notes, writing out grocery
lists and making odd drawings while
listening over the telephone?
One of the greatest difficulties about
pencils is that cne never seems to have
the right one at hand when it is desired.
If a correction is wanted in writing,
all we can find is very blunt pencil
with a lead so soft that only smudge
results.
If the big black pencil is desired, then
the only type which can be found at
the time is one of these slim-jim ones
with lead SO light that 1t scarcely seems
to make a mark.
Newspapermen and others 60 in for
big thick pencils with soft black leads
about whose marks there can be no
doubt.
1t will be discovered that all persons
who fancy their own ability at hand
writing take naturally to fine pencils
with hard leads, so that there can be
no smearing.
Which brings us at once to the point.
The point of the lead pencil, one may
feel convinced, is the thing which made
the typewriter and the fountain pen
possible.
People got tired trying to make good
point.
as of the person.
Some manual dexterity is necessary
and isn't it true that most persons who
| like to use pencils are not noted for their
ability with their hands, at least in the
carpentering sense?
Knives and razor blades are used in
an effort to coax the right sort of point
on the right pencil after it has been
found. Too often all efforts are in vain
The point either breaks off or has a
lopsided look which would shame any
Wellmade pencil.
The most careless user of pencils
realizes something of this.
That is why he-or she-is so persist
ent, so desirous of getting point which
is long, but not too long, and which will
not break off just at the moment one
gets going good with it.
Inventive genius has made every ef-
fort to help us. Pencils have been made
out of paper. so sections may be torn
of at will, but it is common knowledge
that the piece of string which unwraps
with these breaks of, too, just at the
critical moment.
And even II the bit of string holds,
Evening star., 1940-12-06

the resulting point is rather club like
than anything else.
The point of sharpening q pencil, of
course, is that it comes out point.
Words do mean something, after all.
Once the user of pencils gets the idea
into his head that when he starts to
make point it should really be pointed,
he will not rest easily thereafter until
he achieves q tip which meets all ex-
pectations.
It takes q man almost a lifetime to
be able to sharpen q pencil properly,
and then he finds out at last that a
little machine can do a much better
job Of It,
These machines, to be found in all
Offices, but in few homes, have assorted
holes taking various size pencils. There
is a crank to turn, and the first thing
you know, out comes the pencil with a
perfect point.
If you press too hard, out comes the
pencil with broken point.
Even machines are not fool-proof.
&H+
A good pencil with the right lead, at
the right time, is great satisfaction
1t seems to get You closer to your own
brain than a pen, or even a typewriter
Some users even think that the shorter
the pencil, the closer the writer is to
his own thoughts, and the better they
come out on the paper. 1t is one thing
of course, to have good ideas in the
mind, and quite another to get them
No doubt this is the reason so many
persons cherish their pencils down to
the very last writing tip.
A fine new long pencil is very pretty
but it is somewhat tand-offish it seems
to come in between you and what you
want to say. But one of these ugly
stubby little fellows gets right down to
scratch.
The pencil is probably responsible for
more bad penmanship than anything else
in the world, but that makes no differ

is craftsmanship.
Scribbling. as most persons know, is
what you do with pencil when you
are not trying to impress some one else
with your craftsmanship.
1t is the natural way to write.
To scribble is to be vastly more human
and hence more interesting, to those
who read.
That was why, perhaps, in the OLD
days, when great authors wrote theil
manuscripts by hand, it was no uncom-
mon thing to find their work very hard
to read. Many of those old manuscripts
bringing fancy prices today, show g
penmanship, or more properly pencil
manship, which would take no prizes.
No, the prizes were taken after the
penciled words got into type.
The pencil, properly used, is a personal
instrument, if there ever was one. II
you look into the desk of any man OF
woman who likes to write, no matter how
many fine pens and typewriters are al
hand, you will find several cherished
pencils, mostly quite short.

Opposes Appropriation for
Dies Committee.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Representative Dies committee snould
certainly not be granted the continuing
appropriation that it asks. The purpose
of this committee was to investigate
subversive activities and then present to
Congress its recommendations for puni-
tive legislation. 1t was never intended
that Mr.. Dies should investigate every
case, nor even every major case of sub
version, but merely to inform the people
of the actual existence of such condi-
tions to show the need for adequate
legislation.
I feel that two years is adequate time
In which to have accomplished this
purpose and that extension of the COM
mittee would cause increased conflict
with the F. B. l., which is vested with
the responsibility of trapping spies and
bringing them to justice The $1,000, 900
requested would be used to better ad-
vantage by the F. B. L
If Mr.. Dies likes the job of hunting
out spies and saboteurs he should offer
his services to the appropriate depart.
