Educational Aid

Announcement Of the ALLEGATION
to District schools and colleges Of
$147,640 by the National Youth
Administration calls attention to a
highly worthwhile service being
carried on by the Federal Govern
ment here and In the forty-eight
States and the Territories.
In it's Job Of providing part-time
work to selected students to enable
them to continue their studies, the
N. Y. A. is filling a real need in
American education. The increas-
ing establishment Of scholarships at
the various institutions has done
something to alleviate the condition
whereby education in this country
had been limited only to those who
could afford it. The N. Y. A., in
less conspicuous and smaller way, is
doing and will do more.
Some mute, inglorious Milton"
will no longer be mute and inglorious
because he is poor. More than 1000
boys and girls in the District
chosen by their school and college
officials on the basis of proven
need and demonstrated scholastic
ability"-will get chance next Sep
tember when they might otherwise
have had to join the ranks of the
UNEMPLOYED.

Of which there is growing evidence,
not to cooperate too far with Nazi
Germany.
British war leadership is taking
some hope from this situation, but
German prospects have not de-
Perforated to the point where it is
wise to believe that the Reich will
fall for lack Of oil. It has been
able to pursue the plane and SUBJ
marine campaign against the Brit
ish blockade, which would seem
to indicate that Germany's chief
tains feel secure in their oil supplies,
at least for the moment.
If Germany makes the decision to
invade Britain more petroleum prod
ucts will be needed than were used in
the land campaign through the Low
Countries and France. Warplanes
will have to be sent to England in
swarms, and cooperating with them
must be many submarines and all OF
Germany's available naval strength.
It means that Germany, to avoid
too deep inroads into her petroleum
reserves, will have to draw more and
more upon those supplies Of oil which
now are going to all parts Of Europe,
and that conquered and unconquered
sections Of the continent will have to
sacrifice fuel and lubricants for the
German machine.

Uttered Streets

The disgraceful condition of the
streets in the National Capital, lit
tered as they are with papers, bottles,
cans and other trash, can be reme-
died In one Of two ways.
Primarily, the maintenance of
clean streets is an individual re-
sponsibility. Each resident of the
community should be as solicitous
OF the public highways as he is of
his own property, but that. unfor-
tunately, is far from being the case.
Hundreds Of persons who are proud
of the appearance of their homes
will throw trash into the streets
without giving thought to the fact
that they are thereby contributing
to an unsightly city.
The first step in rectifying exist
ing conditions lies in enlisting the
voluntary cooperation of all the
residents Of Washington. insofar
as that may be possible. This could
be undertaken through civic, COM
mercial and professional groups, and
possibly through the schools and
similar organizations. II an effort
of this sort were properly directed,
with emphasis placed on the respon-
sibility of each individual, it should
be productive of marked improve
ment.
The second phase calls for the en-
forcement by the appropriate au-
thorities Of existing regulations for
bidding the throwing of trash into
the streets. AS revealed in an article
in The Sunday Star, these regula-
tions are being dagrantly violated,
and there is virtually no effort to
enforce them. While the natural
reluctance of the police to arrest
every person who drops a piece of
paper on the street is understand
able, there is no reason whatsoever
why persistent and defiant viola
tions of the regulations should not
be made the subject of prosecution.
In a matter Of this kind, when VOL
untary cooperation is not forth
coming, the only alternative to
proper exercise OF the police func-
ton is the acceptance Of Uttered
streets as a permanent disgrace to
the community. In that situation
there should be no hesitancy on the
part of the members of the Police
Department to take the steps which
the law requires Of them.

GreenbeIt Expands

Greenbelt, the model planned
community, has reached the stage
which tests the planning Of any
communicative period Of expan-
sion. Plans have been announced
for the erection Of additional homes
in Greenbelt, but it is notable that
they will be built in different man.
ner and for slightly different pur-
pose than the homes now there.
Instead Of being erected entirely
with Federal funds, as were the origi-
nal Greenbelt homes, the new ones
will be built by private contractors.
Instead of being rented they will be
sold. The prices, according to an
announcement of the Farm Security
Administration, will be about $4,000
and the mortgages will be insured
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
1t is anticipated that there will be
a heavy demand for the new homes.
as there has been for the ones now
in use. Those who move to Green
belt have the benefit Of unusual
facilities Its educational and rec
reational advantages and cooper
ative setup are found in few. II any,
communities Of similar size with the
exception of other towns erected on
the Greenbelt plan by the old Reset
tlement Administration. incidentally,
all of those towns will be enlarged
in the same manner as Greenbelt.
The latter now has about 900 living
units, although it was planned to
accommodate 5000 eventually. Under
the circumstances it is only proper
that, with its attractive rural setting,
it's lake, swimming pool, schools, ath-
letic fields, theater and cooperative
stores, Greenbelt should be made
available to as many people as pos
sible.
Taxpayers will be relieved to know,
however, that the expansion Of
Greenbelt will not call for additions
to the vast public funds that were
spent to build the town. There has
been much criticism on that score
and Of the project in general, but
there has been practically no indi-
cation that those who live there find
their community lives less pleasant
than they anticipated. There is
every indication that they will be
glad to share their good fortune with
the newcomers, for the move to have
private ownership of homes in
Greenbelt originated with those who
now rent the houses there.
Some of the present tenants. in
fact, hope to be among the first
Greenbelt landlords.

In New York a similar detection Of

Election Estimates

Certainly, 1t Is much too early to
attempt anything like an accurate
appraisal OF the relative strength of
President Roosevelt and his Repub-
lican rival, Wendell l.. Willkie. The

Yet on both sides it will be part OF

Germuny's Oil

AS Europe's war approaches the
decisive stage, Britain and Germany
are making a close check of all pos
sible factors in the struggle. One of
the most vital is Germany's lack Of
access to petroleum sources.
News dispatches from London in
dicate that British leaders are en-
couraged by what they consider the
extremely critical condition of Eu-
ropes oil supplies, and their belief
that tightening Of the blockade will
reduce the continents available
petroleum to the point where Ger
many's resources will be wholly in
adequate for the operation of her
vast mechanical war machine.
Exactly what oil reserves Germany
has after the campaign of Flanders
and France and the intensified sea
and air war is, of course, military
secret which those outside the high
command are not privileged to share.
There can be little doubt, however,
That IN spite OF Germany'S acqulSi-
tions by conquest the petroleum sit
uation in the Reich still must be
critical
Adolf Hitler's victories in Western
Europe probably added substantial
supplies to the Reich's reserves, but
these are temporary and without
access to wells on which to draw
over long period of time, Germany
may be compelled to strike for a de-
cisive victory over the British.
The Reich continues, as the British
blockade draws tighter, to depend on
Rumanian and Russian supplies, the
first hampered by difnculties Of
transportation, the second by Rus
sia's own needs and a disposition,

Deplores Puppet Behavior
OF Convention Delegates.
TO the Editor Of The Star:


What has become of our democracy?
The lack Of all democratic principles In
the proceedings of the Democratic con-
vention at Chicago would be laughable
If 1t were not so tragic.
In The Star it was reported that
bitter fight in the conventions Platform
Committee was settled only after long
distance telephone call was put in to
the White House, where 1t was indicated,
Mr. Roosevelt decided for the whole
party the point at issue.
Today radio announcers and the
newspapers informed the country at
large that the President had told the
convention that the choice of the DEM
ocratic party for Vice President must
be the liable" Secretary of Agriculture,
Henry Wallace.
And in assuming all this authority
Mr.. Roosevelt was not member Of the
convention, and by his own words was
not candidate.
Surely democracy is on its way out,
If not already dead, buried and all but
forgotten-in Europe under the mailed
fist Of Hitler anc his bNtzkrieg-in
America, under the smiling "musts" Of
Roosevelt and his New Deal puppets.
It seems to be about time for the
American people to realize that not only
can one man gain complete dominance
over the Government, but that during
the past eight years such has come
dangerously near being fact. 10.

Better Up

There seems to be an uneasy feel
ing in the air of the sporting world.
Some fans are completely jittery
over the sad fate of the Yanks II
or when Mr.. Farley steps into the
box and takes over. They go around
with sad faces. hoping against hope
that there is at least one good Dem
ocratic southpaw on the team who
will keep his job and serve as
nucleus until the Republican staff
can be replaced.
The prediction is ventured that
Mr.. Farley will play ball with them,
not politics. The outf1elder who can
pole one over the left field wall with
the bases crowded can stay, even If
he is so eccentric as to poll vote for
Mr.. Willkie in November. A Repub-
lican pitcher who strikes out the
opposition can balk all he wants,
of the field, at the New Deal. The
shortstop who can step up to the
plate and bat $3.50 will have made
hit with Farley and can vote for
Browder later If he likes. When Mr..
Farley needs a new third baseman,
it is not likely that he will put in a
call for deserving Democrat. In
stead, he will use a method not
ordinarily in favor with him; he
will draft. Even if things 60 wrong,
heads will not necessarily fall; no
doubt he will follow the time-hon-
ored custom of blaming the umpires.
In fact, there is every reason to
suppose, with his experience as Post
master General. that neither snow,
nor rain, nor heat, nor night, nor
batting slumps will stay the Yanks
from their appointed rounds.

THIS AND THAT
Summer Is the best time Of the year

By Charles +. Trdce1peH.

Summer Is the best time Of tho year
to appreciate the contrasts Of light and
shade In the outdoor scene.
Persons interested In photography
know this. but others should realize It.,
too. in the mere looking.
Every scene is a picture, II we look at
1t rightly. And nothing does more to
that picture, Of course, than light.
The science Of light is one thing. The
appreciation Of 1t in the outdoors an
other.
From the first peep Of dawn until
night falls there are countless natural
pictures. whose very existence depends
upon light, in sense.
And yet there is more to It than that:
light is the supreme color, with tones
and shades all its own.
One need not worry whether this
would make sense in the art Of painting.
One knows what one knows, and looks
into the light, regardless Of what some
one art has to say about It.
Then the light becomes a thing in it.
self. In fact, some painters have be-
come so enamored Of the light, and its
possibilities, that everything else in their
canvases becomes but an addition, a
supplement OF the main theme, the lieht
itself
This is because light has both color
and form.
1t is the great background, as 1t were,
Of perspective. What we see is because
Of light. and the way we see it wholly
due to 1t.
Some morning about o'clock, II you
have shady yard, look at the tops of
the shrubs and vines where the sunlight
comes from the yard beyond.
Here is dramatic instance Of the
difference between light and shade.
The realization comes to you instantly,
as you look.
The chances are that you will say,
"Why, never realized before what a
difference there was!"
Darkness, on one side. light, on the
other. each set of by the difference.
And those pools Of sun which are al
lowed to lie on the grass, focused
through openings in the leaves
The dark portions Of the grass are
green. and the light portions are green,
50 We have two types Of green made by
the light. Yet the light itself. despite
the green, has a color all its own.
Sunlight on the grass is a sort of
thing you feel as If you could reach out
and grasp with the hand, it is that
tangible.
Children often try, Just as they reach
for the moon. There seems to be no
reason why 1t cannot be taken in hand.
This is because light, despite its fra
gility, seems solid as anything we know.
Maybe 1t is. Certainly 1t is capable Of
the most solid results, as witness SUM-
burn. As every one today knows, 1t is
the light rays, and not the heat, which
do the burning. It is the light rays
which form the images on the photo
graphic film or plate.
