Urges Moving of School
For Crippled Children.

To the Editor OF The Star:
I have been watching with intense
interest the controversy now waging over
the moving of the School for Crippled
Children from Langdon to the proposed
location at Thirteenth and Allison
streets NV
For six years my son attended the
Langdon School for Crippled Children.
I have given much thought to the in
stitution. I am still naturally inter-
ested in the welfare Of all crippled
children and during the years of my
sons attendance at Langdon and since
that time have realized the definite
need of separate school for the under
privileged boys and girls of Washington
and have tried time and again to con-
vince our Board of Education of this
need.
was repeatedly informed that the
item was put into the budget, but was as
often stricken out by the Commissioners
or the Budget Bureau.
The Washington Kiwanis Club has
certainly given its hearty support to
this cause and has been striving for
such a move for many years. I trust
that our Board of Education will not
permit themselves to be Influenced
against moving this school to Thirteenth
and Allison by the very small group who
are trying to block this procedure.
In dealing with the physically handi-
capped, a community should have
definite plan involving the highest bene-
fits for these unfortunate members of
society.
In many countries the care of Grip
Piled children is entirely governmental
function, with hospital centers and spe-
cial schools devoted to this work.
Washington can solve the crippled
child problem by carefully planned, in
telligent study and devoted service by
all concerned. Give every cripple a
chance. MRS. j. L. GAUTHIER.

Protecting Witnesses

Ihe nrSt bill Of the current session
OF Congress to receive the Presidents
signature attracted little attention
from the public generally, although
1t is a measure of prime Importance
to every citizen interested in sound
administration of justice. The bill,
known as H. R. 6832, was entitled "An
act to provide for the protection of
witnesses appearing before any de-
partment, independent establishment
or other agency of the United States
or the Congress of the United
States" It has been spread on the
statutes as an amendment to section
135 OF the Criminal Code.
Until the passage of this law there
was no provision in the code for
prosecution and punishment of per-
sons seeking to influence or intimi-
date witnesses appearing before
Government departments, boards,
commissions or other agencies. The
criminal statutes outlawed only at
temptS to corrupt witnesses before a
court. The inadequacy of the code
had been noted occasionally in the
past, but nothing much was done to
correct the deficiency until last year,
when a Washington attorney, Gull
ford S. Jameson, obtained the CO.
operation of the District Bar Asso-
citation in presenting the matter to
the House Judiciary Committee. The
House passed the bill last July, but
final legislative approval was de-
ferred until the present session.
Mr.. Jameson became interested in
the witness problem as a result of an
alleged attempt to intimidate wit
nesses before one of the independent
agencies of the Government. He was
surprised to learn that there was no
Federal law to deal with such irregu-
larities. Yet many of these agencies,
and the committees of Congress as
well, were guided in the exercise of
vast powers by testimony received
from individuals and organizations
not protected by law from coercive
or corrupting influences. The need
for combating such influences has
multiplied as the agencies them
selves-and the quasijudicial and
legislative powers vested in them
have multiplied. The new law
should prove to be an effective con-
tribution to good government.

Moscow to charge d'affaires status
such as we have maintained with
Nazi Germany now for considerably
more than a year. In diplomatic
practice such a reduction commonly
bears the aspect OF a rebuke and
protest.
That Russia deserves to be rebuked
there can be no question. But Russia
also deserves to be watched from a
closeup vantage point. A selfish and
prudent regard for ,ur own interests
demands that we restrain our natu-
raj indignation over Russia's faith
lessness and keep diplomatic listen

Five-Cent Milk

The cooperation of the District
Government is all that is needed to
insure a supply Of milk at five cents
quart for large section of the Dis
trict populace-the 7,400 persons re-
ceiving home relief and assistance
from the project for aid to dependent
children, and the 1890 persons on
the Work Projects Administration
rolls. Elaborate research at the
Bureau of Home Economics, Agri-
culture Department, over a num-
Der Of years has shown that the alb
sence of milk from the diet contrib
utes to high incidence of tubercu-
losis, and the findings of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics is that
persons of low income rarely include
fresh milk in their diets, especially in
Washington, where the best price
they can get it for is eleven cents.
Now comes the Agriculture Depart
ment with its proposed milk mar
keting agreement for Washington,
providing that farmers will accept
a low price for milk destined for
distribution among the relief and
w. P. A. clients.
This low price is arrived at through
the cooperation of four groups: the
farmer, who takes the low price; the
milk distributor, who pasteurizes,
bottles and delivers the milk for a
low price; the Agriculture Depart
ment, which, through the Surplus
Commodities Corporation, subsidies
the undertaking by footing the. dis
tribution bill; and the District Gov
ernment, which supervises the distri-
button and arranges for depots at
which the eligible may buy the milk.
In combination these groups make it
possible to sell the milk at five cents
quart, the price at which it is avail
able to relief and w. P. A. clients now
in Boston and Chicago. Adoption of
the agreement-which is believed
probable-puts the farmer, the dis
tributor and the Agriculture Depart
ment back of the program at once.
The next step is for the District Gov
ernment to act.
The taxpayer, whose pocket pro-
vides the subsidy and whatever out
lay the District will make, is the only
party playing an eleemosynary role
in cheap milk program of this type.
The farmer sells milk for consump-
tion in market formerly closed to
him, and the distributor gets
greater efficiency out of his plant by
the increased volume of milk he pas
teurizes. How eagerly the prospective
benefciaries welcome the program is
demonstrated by the fact that in
Boston 100000 persons have been
buying $4,000 quarts a day at the
f1ve-cent figure.

Brituin's New Tack

Winston Churchills appeal to the
small neutrals of Europe to join the
allied cause in order to speed the
war, and ultimate victory, against
Germany, lest in the event of Hit
Ter triumph they suffer the fate of
Poland-division between Nazi Ger
many and Bolshevist Russia-signi-
f1es change in tack on the part
Of the allies which may foreshadow
the spread of Europe's conflict to
south and to north.
Although recent history justifies
MIR. Churchills warnings of the fate
that awaits the small non-belliger-
ents If the Reich wins, there is little
reason to believe that Scandinavia,
the Netherlands, Belgium and the
Balkan nations will be moved from
the path of neutrality they have
chosen. These nations already have
demonstrated a determination to
remain at peace at any price. They
have ignored the sinking of their
ships by German submarines and
mines, accommodated themselves, in
some instances at considerable sac
rif1ce, to German demands upon
their resources, and limited them
selves to protests against British
blockade violations of their neutral
rights.
British motivation is easily dis
cerned. Faced with long stalemate
on the western front and able to
strike at Germany only when German
planes or warships venture out from
their fortified bases on the North
Sea, Britain needs an open path into
Germany, either through the Low
Countries, Scandinavia or South
eastern Europe. At the same time
Britain needs to restrict the flow of
supplies to Germany from Rumania,
Yugoslavia, Hungary and Bulgaria.
If, by a diplomatic campaign-of
which the Churchill speech may be
the opening gun-backed by tight
ening Of the blockade, Britain can
force some of Germany's neighbors

VETERINARIAN HIRED TO WORK
 IN TERRITORY
Dr. Graees to Pay Partil- uIar Attention. to Beef
 and Ddirying

Dr. Earl Graces of Chicago has been hired by Dr. Lorin P. Old royd. Director of the Agricultural Experiment Stations, to serve as an additional full-time veterinarian in Alaska, Gov. Ernest Gruening announced today
 Dr. Graces is expected to arrive within the next few weeks and will go directly to Kodiak, where ranchers have been unable to sell Alaska beef to the Navy because no veterinarian was available to make the required federal inspec- tion of the meat.
 Besides the beef cattle industry of Kodiak, Dr. Graces will devote his attention to the rapidly de- veloping dairy industry of the Matanuska Valley. His headquar- ters will probably be at the Experi- ment Station at Palmer
 Dr. J. B. Loftus, Territorial Vet erinarian, is spending so much of his time in the important experi- mental fur farm work at Peters burg that he is unable to devote more time to other parts of the Territory. the Governor said.
 pr. Graces will be paid tempor- ariy from Agricultural Extension Service funds. Later the Legisla- ture probably will be asked to ap- propriate for the Veterinarian.

 At first the mother and sons are mortified at the deprivations they face in their primitive existence, although to the father the lush island paradise is a Heaven sent Utopia where his family may again become human, useful individuals far from a depressing, degrading civilization. The manner in which each of his sons gradually be- comes a dependable, sufficient young man able to cope with any eXigency, and how the mother, stripped of all the superficiality of her former social life, finds hapri- ness in the new existence, leads to the powerfully dramatic climax.
