He was the white wing who said:
"If they'd only let me work more
hours day, could keep the street
cleaner"
| He has been with the street clean
ing force for a decade and takes
pride in his work. Sometimes
though. he admitted, it gets dis
couraging.
THE people don't seem to care
how the street in front of their
houses look" he said, puzzled. "And
they take such care of their front
lawns, too."
Dump Waste Paper Baskets.
The white wing toiling along Thir-
teenth street near T street NV.
told of the householders who sweep
loose dirt from their yards into the
gutter. Up the street. as he spoke,
woman was busy with broom.
With final sweep, a pile of dirt.
newspapers and crumpled tissue
paper landed in the gutter. The
white wings cart was heaped with
household trash. He explained that
some of the householders on his
route dumped their waste paper
baskets into the street.
On Eleventh street, along the route
white wing had already traversed.
grocery clerks were sweeping the
debris of rotten oranges, vegetable
leaves and broken cereal cartons into
the street. The white wing with
3l2 miles to cover couldn't go back
and SO those unlovely piles would
have to decorate the gutter until
the next day.
While sweeping up old shoes,
broken bottles, beer cans and rotted
fruit, the white wings wonder some
times. They think the public could
be a little less sloppy.

Instead Of Fight;

the telephones at The Evening Star
and Radio Station WMAL busy for
a short period last night as the
scheduled broadcast of the Henry
Armstrong-Lew jenkins fight from
the New York Polo Grounds gave
way to the Chicago Democratic Con-

The National Broadcasting Co.,
which had planned to broadcast the
fight, explained afterward that it
did not wish to cut off Senator
Wagner, who was reading the Demo-
cratic platform at the time the fight
was due to begin.
The radio company, as a matter
Of fact, succeeded in obtaining a 90
minute delay of the bout, but by
the time Senator Wagner had fin
ished, Lew Jenkins had failed to ap-
pear for the seventh round and
Armstrong had won.
Telephone calls made by disap-
pointed and irate fans in New York
City were somewhat comparable in
volume to those which were rung up
during the famous Orson Wells
