Batting Rumuniu's Hook

antee Rumanias borders in return
for huge increases in oil, wheat and
other raw material shipments to the
Reich is essentially a confession of
the Nazis' urgent and growing need
for the sinews of war and of civilian
sustenance. The reported proffer
utterly bellies Berlin claims that the
British blockade is ineffective. It is
likewise tacit confession that Hit
ler's hopes Of adequate supplies from
Soviet Russia are proving illusory.
The Nazi proposal to safeguard Ru-
mania's territorial integrity against
all comers indicates, too. the political
extremities to which Germany's war
exigencies are driving her. King
Carols borders" are threatened
from three directions-Russia, which
covets Bessarabia; Hungary, which
wants Pennsylvania, and Bulgaria,
which demands the Dobrudja. All
three of those lands came to
Rumania as World War spoils. Their
former possessors have never ceased
to demand revision" Of the treaties
of Versailles and st. Germain to the
end that Rumania should be reduced
to her pre-1914 proportions. Hitler
indubitably plays a trump card in
tempting Bucharest to consider a
deal whereby such a fate could not
overtake King Carols country.
Yet it is by no means certain that
Rumania will swallow the German
bait, however tempting. In the first
place, were she to become the Reich's
economic vassal by granting prac-
tical monopoly of Rumanian exports,
it is by no means certain Hitler could
make good on his territorial guar
antee. Britain and France, which
already have objected vehemently to
any arrangement for giving the Ger
mans oil that would have to come to
a considerable extent from Anglo
French-owned Rumanian wells, could
not afford quiescently to allow the
Nazis to monopolize their output.
That something beyond war essen
tials and industrial supplies turks in
Berlin's mind is indicated by state
ments that the proposed pact would
obligate Rumania to abandon her
plans for civil mobilization and
restore at least 1000, 900 Of her 1,400,-
900 men now under arms to their
regular jobs in fields, oil plants and
factories. To sweeten the bait,
Germany is said to be ready to "pre-
vail upon" Russia, Hungary and Bull
garia to abandon their territorial
claims and sign non-aggression pacts
with Rumania. It is an altogether
ingenious plan, but the Bucharest
government, one may feel assured,
will look carefully before leaping.
DR.. Karl Clodius, Germany's ace
economic trouble-shooter, has post
poned visit to Bucharest until next
week, to give the Rumanian authori-
ties time to digest the Nazi scheme
in all its implications. The presence
of an allied Turkish army of 0,000
on the other side of the Black Sea,
prepared to nip in the bud any Ger
man or Russian undertakings in
the Balkans, gives King Carols gov
ernment substantial reason to pause,
and pause confidently, before hand
ing over Rumania as filling station
and granary to an obviously hard
pressed Nazi war machine.

The Ohio Elections

In these days when politicians are
grasping at every passing straw to
learn If possible the trend of senti-
ment among the voters, the elections
in two Ohio congressional districts
will not be overlooked. Republican
leaders are shouting from the house.
tops that the party's victories there
are merely preview of what is to
happen in the Nation.
This may be overly optimistic-as
the Democrats emphatically say it is.
However, the fact that the Repub-
licans won in the seventeenth Ohio
congressional district, which has
been Democratic for the past ten
years, and retained by a substantial
vote the twenty-second congress
sional district, cannot be laughed of.
Ohio in 1888 swung over to the
Republican column, electing a Re-
publican Governor, Republican
Senator and fifteen Republicans out
of twenty-four members of the
House. The elections on Tuesday
mean that the State may be even
more Republican this year than it
was in 1888.
The New Deal was the issue in
both these districts, and as such
proclaimed by both sides. In both
districts, while the vote was COM
paratively light as may be expected
in special elections, the Republican
percentage of the total increased
about seven per cent. II any such
gain takes place in the country gen.
orally next November. the Jig will
be up for the New Dealers.
These evidences of Republican
supremacy in Ohio-and Of anti-New
Deal sentiment-may be reflected in
the campaign of Senator Robert A.
Taft for the Republican presidential
nomination. No more stanch op-
ponent of the New Deal is to be
found among the Republicans than
Senator Taft. He made it his issue
in the campaign of 1898, when he
defeated former Senator Bulkley,
who had the blessing of President
Roosevelt.
Ohio is proving a stumbling block,
not only for the New Deal but also
for the chief exponent of the New
Deal, President Roosevelt. The third
term boomers in Ohio have stubbed
their toes on several occasions, par
ticularly when they sought to have
Senator Honest Vic" Donahey run
as a favorite-son candidate in the
presidential preferential primary
next May. Mr.. Donahey was to be
merely stalking horse candidate for
the Roosevelt third term, but he
declined the honor, without thanks.
Ohio now sends to Congress its first
woman Representative, Mrs. Frances
P. Bolton, widow Of the late Repre-
sentative Chester c. Bolton, whom
she succeeds in the House Mrs.
Bolton made only one speech in
the campaign. It was effective.
The Ohio congressional elections
follow by week the election OF
Republican Representative in the
fifth Michigan congressional district
to succeed the late Representative
Carl Mapes. In the Michigan elec-
ton the Republican won handily,
with a percentage almost equal to
that of Mr.. Mapes in the 1888
election.
1t appears that the wind in the
Middle West is still blowing Repub-
lican. Whether President Roosevelt,
if he becomes a candidate for a third
term can check it, is doubtful. But
his supporters will now urge that he
and he alone can stem the tide, and
that therefore he mist rim

Protests Rezoning to
Permit Business Building.
To the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Eoltor OF Inc 6t1r:
One wonders whether the zoning Com
mission of the District Of Columbia fully
realized the serious consequences that
will follow its recent rezoning of the
parcel of land comprising more than
third of the block bounded by Wis
consin avenue, River road, Murdock Mill
road and Albemarle street. This land
was rezoned at the request of Sears,
Roebuck Co. representatives, who stated
that there would be erected on the block
a one e-story or combination one and two
story general store that would have park
ing space for 270 cars on the roof and
would be so per cent larger than the
store on Blandensburg road. Thus the
parking space will accommodate the
cars of only about one-quarter Of the
customers that are expected to come to
the store and there will be q serious
parking problem for several blocks
around.
A store of this type will draw its
customers from a radius of Is to so
miles, which will increase the traffic
in this section which even now the po-
lice are vaiantly striving with only
partial success to control. It will change
the entire character of the neighbor-
hood and result in serious depreciation
Of residential property. It will create
q demand for further lowering of the
coming restrictions in the immediate
neighborhood and 1t will cause an in
crease in trafic congestion that will
necessitate the abandonment of Janney
Grade School, which is across the street,
thus wasting the public school funds
which are now so restricted that portable
schools are in use in many sections.
It would be difficult to nnd section
Of the city where store Of this type
would be more out Of place. The tract
that was rezoned is near the center of
residential area in which detached
homes ranging in value from $4,000 to
$4,000 predominate. It is also a CEN
ter of religious and educational activi-
ties. Across the street is Janney School
and playground with over 500 children.
Around the corner is st. Anne's School
with nearly 500 children. Within q
radius of four blocks are four churches,
Woodrow Wilson High School and Alice
Deal Junior High with about 100 stu
dents each, Immaculate and Mount
Vernon Seminaries, and only a little
farther away is American University.
It is believed that the citizens who
haves purchased homes in this section
because it is . quiet residential, educa-
tional and religious center have every
right to expect that the Zoning Com
mission will protect them from the en-
croachments Of large corporation Of
this kind. Their interests and invest
ments certainly outweigh the interest
of Sears, Roebuck and the limited num-
ber Of landowners who stand to profit
by the rezoning. It is hoped that in
view of the strong appeals that have
been made and the widespread interest
that has been manifested the commits
sion will reconsider its action. A. N. 8.

stand against the musicians union has,
within the limits Of my own experience,
seriously and adversely affected the pub
lies support.
The loss of support, I might say, has
been due not solely to the anti-union
stand, although that has played a very
large part, but more particularly to the
great question that has been raised in
the minds of the public as to the salaries
of officials and the conductor, expenses
and general financial accountings of the
symphony.
Many people of my acquaintance who
in the past have given literally to the
symphony campaign fund have indicated
to me that unless and until certified
statement of accounts Is made available
showing. for example, that the symphony
does not have adequate funds from its
present income to meet the musicians
request for salary increases, they will
refuse to lend their support to subse-
quent campaign drives. Others have

proach Of the symphony management

time and care you can manage to look
somewhat less dragged. First of all,
a cold has tendency to dry out the
skin. Keep a good night cream handy
and apply it as often as is reasonably
possible-not just at night. Founda-
ton cream will help to keep the pow
der in place in spite of constant
wheeling and blowing. Pads of cotton
dipped in iced skin tonic and placed
over the eyes will soothe the smarting
and remove the bloodshot look. Apply
your makeup more carefully than
ever if you feel that you look wan and
pasty. The shade of your powder
alone can make a tremendous differ
ence. Use slightly warmer shade if
you feel a bit washed out. A little
more rouge, if properly applied, will
give you brighter look and distract
attention from your chapped and peel
ing nose.
Above all, don't give the whole
thing up just because you are feeling
miserable. A little time and trouble
can work wonders toward making you
look almost human and, when you see
how much better you look, yu1l find
that you feel better too.

Navy Blue Is Tops
On Color Program
Time-Honored Shade Takes
Over Entire Ensemble.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

In a blaze of glory time-honored
navy blue is taking a bow on the
stage of fashion this spring. Navy
for your coat, navy for your suit
and for your simple daytime frock.
It's navy for your entire ensemble,
say style dictators, including your
spring bonnet, and as to shoes they
have gone navy too. Which all goes
to show that it's navy that will lead
IN the Easter style parade.
You will look poised, chic, con-
servative and ladylike in voguish
navy this spring in that fashion adds
the feminine touch of daintiest lacy

semble Of immaculate touches. AS
for the sheer white blouse with it's
pretty frilly ways, it is inevitable
to wear with your navies.
Mllllners are taking great pride
in bringing out choice little sailors,
berets and pillboX turbans in navy
straw or fabric this season, and
there is nothing so completely sat-
isfying as a refined navy hat for
your fashion first" for spring.
With background of navy comes
the inspiration to go patriotic, and
so fashion has issued a call to the
colors, red, white and blue. All
through the style program you will
see these colors this spring worked
out in attractive accessories plus
an interesting array of brass but
tons if you care to add so dra-
matte a touch.

Stacks for Goods
Is Campus Fashion

In a recent poll of dress pref
erences among college girls, the ma
jority made it clear that Stacks are
generally accepted as a classic re-
quirement for dormitory lounging,
and for campus wear when the rules
permit it. Flannel, rabbits hair
woods, corduroys and gabardines are
among the preferred fabrics and
dark colors and green's and grays
are the usual choice. One practical
minded designer has done a smart
thing with a Stacks ensemble Of soft,
naphthalated wool. In order to meet
the requirements of all schools, the
ensemble includes a smart, short
sleeved shirt with pockets and turn
over collar; pair of belted, tailored
Stacks, and wrap-around skirt to
match.

creations OF the fiattering sort.
Perhaps the most outstanding
news in regard to hats that will
grace the Easter millinery picture
is the wide use being made of fab
ric, especially jersey (for wrapped
turbans and snoods) and silk prints
as gay and colorful as an artists
palette. See the hat centered be-
low in the illustration. Here is
bright and shining example of what
is being done with silk print This
wondrously chic little pillbox with
shirred crown is made of Dor
dered silk print scarf. Its pattern
ing of overlapping disc motifs
achieves a dashing color alliance.
The manner in which the draped
matching scarf is attached to the
back Of the hat by means of snaps
so that it can be removed at will
is both unique ard practical. The
fact that the hat can be worn alone
with its detached scarf translated
into a neckerchief, knotted in place
or held with a gay pin, adds greatly
to its interest.
One of the big attractions offered
to style-seeking women this season,
is the print dress and hat ensem-
BILE or the print blouse that sells
with a matching turban. You will
find as the season progresses that
the theme of the matching hat of
printed silk will prove fashions ia
vorite spring song.
Now that the pastel color craze
is taking the world of fashion by
storm it has become a reigning
vogue to wear a classic draped tur-
ban made of the identical pastel
material that fashions the dress.

trend Sand beige silk jersey is
the fabric that fashions this charm
ing costume. The bodice is softly
gathered from high neck to high
waistline. The flowing skirt is pleat-
ed into a wide wrapped girdle. An
elaborate ornament set in gold
trims the rajah turban of self silk

Sailors are with us again. Mill
ners report they are better than
ever this season. Dusty pink suede
forms the bandeau of the navy blue
straw sailor shown at the top to
the right. The ends of the suede
jut through the crown and are
stitched to give stiffness. A lovely
model this, to wear with the very
new and smart navy costume on

Another type that maintains style
prestige is the postillion. Lime
green straw and a cactus blossom
trim gives springtime air to the
position illustrated below to the

an excellent fashion "frst" to ini-
tiate your spring style program.

hats that are made of ribbon. A
