mo. 4 OF q Series }


The white wing sees the public
at its worst. He is like a mother
with an untidy child.
He is endlessly patient. He sees
the anti-litter ordinances being vio-
lated IN every passing block. He
sees the wind play with the papers
he has gathered in a heap and he
must begin again
He is not one to complain. But
few Of the men who fight a los
ing game with the city's litter were
willing to tell what makes hard jobs
even harder.
Take the white wing brushing his
way down G street near Fourteenth
street NV. Papers torn into tiny
bits are his problem. He doesn't
know why pedestrians try so to make
big pieces of paper into little ones,
but he does know they're hard to
sweep up.
Picture Industry Adds to Litter.
Then the picture-takin industry
that fourishes on F street adds its
share to his labors. Cards handed
out by the photographers and dis
carded by pedestrians float into the
cutters to join empty cigarette pack
ages, apple cores, candy wrappers,
streetcar transfers and all the rest
that the untidy child which is the
public chooses to toss away.
The white wing didn't have time
to talk any more. He trundled his
cart off toward F street for the third
time that day.
On upper Sixteenth street another
white wing had another problem.
The leaves are falling now and that
keeps him busy, but it wouldn't be
so bad if the householders along
the way didn't deposit their hedge
cuttings in the gutter.

Hearing Is Set
For Tuesday
Court to Take Up Case
z Hours Each Day
Starting at 8 AM.

Taking unprecedented action, JUS
tice Bolithia j. Laws in District
Court today directed court hearing
on Washington milk marketing
situation, beginning at 8 am. Tues
day and continuing each day at that
hour, for two hours, util disposed Of.
The Federal Government is asking
the court to dissolve a temporary
injunction. granted by Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat in District Court
last March against Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wallace and his milk mar
keting order for this area, and that
Holbrook Farms Dairy of Brent
wood, Md, be required to comply
with the order.
Justice Laws, who is sitting for
two weeks during the summer recess
In Motions Court to dispose of emer-
gency civil matters, ordinarily starts
court at 10 am. Because of the
insistence of Department of Justice
counsel that the public interest de-
mands lifting of the temporary
injunction, Justice Laws agreed to
hear the milk case daily from to 10
am. and then proceed with his reg
ular court program.
Attorney Denies Claim.
John S. L. Yost, special assistant
to Attorney General Jackson, han
ding the case for Secretary WAL
lace, with Special Assistant to the
Attorney General Edward Knuff,
told Justice Laws that the Govern
ment has new evidence, showing that
Holbrook Farms Dairy is engaged in
interstate commerce and so is amen
able to the order Further, said
Mr.. Yost, the dairy has been get
ting IS per cent of its cream sup
ply from outside Maryland-from
Virginia and the District of Colum-
bia.
This was denied by Attorney Sef-
ton Darr, representing the dairy,
who said he would answer that con-
clusively at the proper time.
Hearing Request Granted.
Mr.. Darr told the jurist that he
would require from six to eight
hours to argue the case, but Gov
ernment counsel said they could
dispose of their part of the argu-
ment in about half an hour.
Shortly before District Court re-
cessed in June the Government
went before Justice Daniel w.
ODonoghue, who granted their re-
quest to set the case down for final
hearing, advancing it to an early
date, but no judge could be found
to hear it. All were engaged on
other matters. Recently the Gov
ernment filed it's motion to dissolve
the injunction and to have the
court issue an injunction in its
favor against the dairy.

BRITISH DILEMMA

Diplomats are still puzzled why the Italians invaded Greece at the time they did. In fact, rumors are recurrent that there has been a certain cooling off between Rome and Berlin, and that Mussolini parked into Greece without telling his Axis partner.
 Whether this rumor is true mo- body can yet tell, for the simple reason that only about four men participate in the Mussolini- Hitler conversations. But lending some credence to it is the fact that the Italians have made little headway, and seem to be relatively unpre- parade.
 Real truth, according to intelli- gence reports received here, is that the Italian Army has not the slight est enthusiasm for it's job. Reports continue that the Italian people also don't like the role of Balkan con- quest which has been cut out for them.
 Meanwhile, no matter what may he the real situation between Hit Ter and Mussolini, it remains fact that the British face tough prop osition to giving any real help to Greece. (So far they have not -A...S ,v poUa RnSsrl

THIRD TERM WAS NEVER
 BUGAB00 TO ROOSEVELT
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Add tt the n0W-it-can-be-t told stories:
 Friends of President Roosevelt art saying that the President felt cer- tain all along that the American electorate had no appreciable feeling for the so-called third-term tradi- ton.
 While no man actually had evei tested it (either by seeking nomina- tion or election for a third consec- utiVe full termD, they say, the Pres ident, an astutc student of politica forces, had twice in his own life time seen how politicians and the voters felt about more than two terms in office.
 Tn 1888, Coolidge had been Pres ident for five and a half years, and there was no doubt in the minds of the political observers of either party that he could have been nom- mated and elected if he hadn't come lOl LII WilIl illo lllCJilOid bO ilOt choose to run" statement.
 Only Is years earlier. F. D. R. had seen his own cousin, Teddy, lunge into campaign that, had he won, would have given him II years in the White House, in spite of the fact that he split his own party and got embroiled in a three-Way fight, polled more than four mill lion votes, only two million less than Woodrow Wilson. II there was any voting protest against the third term bugaboo, where was it? Will son received nearly 10000 fewer votes than the Democratic ticket, headed by William Jennings Bryan, had received four years before.
 COULD GO FURTHER BACK
 If these things weren't proof enough to the F.D.R. friends that the anti-third term cry was more political expedient-in both par tlCS-Cildll UdiiOt AoStcl, oi Si'S President had to do was to dip into political history It's well known, too, that he has done more swim ming there than in the pools at Hyde Park and the White House.
 President Cleveland for example, although he was elected only twice, ran three times and each time re- ceived a popular vote of from five to five-and-a-half million.
 When Roscoe Conkling, in his prolonged feud with James G. Blaine looked about for a suitable candidate to run against Blaine, he picked Grant, although only four years be- fore, Grant had ust finished his second term. Conkling, considered one of the great politicians of the day, didn't hesitate a minute over the third term issue and although Grant couldn't get a majority m the convention, the third term had nothing to do with it and Grant held his block of votes for more ballots than any one had done before him. It was com- promise on Garfield by warning fac- tions in the convention that finally broke the deadlock, into fear that the electorate would turn down
