plaved an important part in the struggle over
the Supreme Court that President RooseVei'
precipitated in 1887. It is the simple uuui
that he is likely to be remembered Tor IL long
after laymen if not lawyers have forgotten
his distinguished contribution as a Jurlst.
On the same day that the senate judiciary
committee met to vote on the Presldents
proposal to enlarge the court, Justice van
DeVanter announced his retirement under the
law permitting members who had served
more than 10 years and had reached the age
of 70 to be relieved of active duty at full
salary. Although he said he had made his
decision without reference to the court battle
he could not have been unaware Of its prob
able effect.
In any event, the Presidents program was
not enacted into law and it was an open
secret that many legislators who might have
felt compelled to vote for it under other cir
cumstances argued that it was no longer
needed. And, though the court has embarked
on a new course since then, it is something
that the effort to enlarge it was defeated, and
that the change came from within a sef-inde-
pendent court rather than one remade to the
specifications of a chief executive = any chief
executive. That much Justice Van DeVanter
achieved when he stepped from the court he
revered to preserve it unimpaired for the
nation he loved.

Money For Street Work

An increasingly large number of cities are
r~esorting to special assessments to raise funds
for reconstructing and resurfacing their
streets, the American Public Works Associa-
ton said today after a survey Of special as
sessment practices in 83 cities in 40 states
and the District of Columbia.
Reconstruction and resurfacing costs are
becoming more and more important to cities
as new construction declines with the gradual
completion of their street systems the as
sociation said. Especial 1evies on benefited
property for new construction have been the
usual practice but the cities have only recently
been driven to such levies for reconstruction
and resurfacing by the increasing expendi-
lures for this work."
More than half of the cities which can by
law levy special assessments for reconstruc-
ton and resurfacing are doing sos cities
levying for reconstruction and 20 for resur-
facing. Almost all of the SO cities may levy
special levies for new construction has been
curtailed in recent years as the result of
federal assistance, the Association added.
1.-THE use of special assessments for munich
pal paving work depends to a great extent on
existing state laws and local ordinances &C.
cording to the association. Under the statutes
OF Virginia, for example, cities are not per-
mitted to levy special assessments for pave
ment resurfacing, reconstruction or new con-
struction. They may, however, use special
assessments for sidewalk and alley construc-
ton, reconstruction and repaving. Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine
are among the states which permit cities to
use special assessments only for new con-
struction."
The survey showed the following division OF
costs-excluding the share the federal govern
ment pays on such projects as WPA-between
the city and abutting property owners in
typical street construction: ,
Auditing owners in nine of the IS cities
levying special assessments for pavement re-
construction pay the entire cost of the work;
but in Indianapolis, Ind, the owners pay only
Is percent and the city pays the rest. Four
cities-Wichita, Kan, Lexington, KY, Omaha,
Neb, and Las Vegas, Nev.-pay only the
cost OF reconstructing intersections. Peoria,

Editorial Comment
1T MUST ALL BE FREE.
Charlotte Observer

The proposal that a recreatlonal center De
set up in Charlotte for the 1000 men who Will
form the garrison for the army air base IS
commendable 1t is more than that; it is
plain common sense.
There should be a place where they could
spend their leisure in a pleasant, profitable
way. They are going to spend it one way or
the other. If they don't find something good
to do they will quickly find something bad to
do. Young and vigorous, whatever they do
they will do it with all their might.
This recreation center should first of all be
enirely free. It should not be necessary for
the soldier to spend one cent in it. They are
going to spend all their money in Charlotte
anyway, so why have any fee, any charge for
anything whatever in this recreational place?
The soldier shouldn't be allowed, when he
drops in here to write a letter, to pay for the
three-cent stamp. He shouldn't be allowed to
pay a penny for a towel when he takes a
shower.
Better this-for Charlotte's own sake-than
that he find doubtful pleasures, liquor and
women. Make no mistake, he will seek pleas
ure. These will be fine young men, from fine,
substantial families, like the families in Char
lotte, but they will not sit and twiddle their
thumbs in their spare time.
Without cost, that is what the center should
be; without one cent of cost. The surest way
to keep them away from such a place is to
post signs in it emphasizing that oranges are
two for a nickel, towels three cents each,
stationery ''at cost" and coffee also a nickel.
And please don't put any stamp machines in
the place. Don't sell any magazines in it. And
don't hold any prayer meetings in it. The boys
will go to the churches for that if they de-
sire. 5

Krivitsky

The man known in this country as Gen.
Walter G. Krivitsky, who claimed that he
was at one time the Red army's chief of in.
telligence for Western Europe and a member
of Stains inner circle, died as he lived : an
enigma. Washington police have tentatively
listed him as a suicide. His friends insist that
he was a victim of the Russian Ogpu.
Whether the mystery is ever solved : and
it is a mystery despite the circumstantial evil
dence that points to self-destruction as an
explanation : it is true that Krivitsky did
enough damage to the Communist cause to
make himself thoroughly hated by Stalinists
everywhere. Some of his disclosures may
subsequent developments many of them must
be set down as true.
Months before Hitler and Stain negotiated
their pact Of friendship in the summer OF
1888, Krivitsky predicted it was coming. His
prophecy was published in magazine articles
at a time when almost no one, not even Com
munists in this country, expected such a turn
of events. Indeed, the New Masses bitterly at
tackled him : only to be confounded later.
1t must be admitted that anything a man OF
Krivitsky's type may say must be held sus-
pect. He worked with swindlers, murderers,
pro-Fascists, according to his own testimony
before the Dies committee. But this kind OF
devotion is a virtue in Communist eyes. ano
certainly his main assertions have been borne
out by the course Soviet foreign policy has
taken. Moreover, his identity as a former
Russian agent has been convincingly estab
lished.
In any event, Krivitsky did the Communis,
cause in this country incalculable harm and
by the same token he served the best Interests
Of this nation. We are in his debt, no matter
what his motives.

In The Balkans

Events in the Balkans seem to be moving
beyond their usual state of chronic Crisis to-
ward outright military action. It is only neces-
sary to list the happenings of the last few
days to realize that matters are coming to a
head.
First there was Mr.. ChurchilIs pointed
warning to Bulgaria that if she submitted to
German demands her cities would be bombed.
Then came the announcement that Britain had
broken off diplomatic relations with Rumania.
On the same day it was rumored that Russia
had informed Sofia that it would not oppose
the passage of German troops through Bull
garia. Since then German transport planes
have been reported over Budapest bound for
the southeast.
The moment does not seem to be favorable
10 a German campaign directed at Greece and
in any event it appears that the British
are forcing the issue rather than the Germans.
In Berlin it has been declared that war on
another front is Uncomfortable but the Brit
ish have opened a diplomatic offensive and
are contemplating its possible results with
perfect calm.
This may mean that Turkey is ready to
make her decision, regardless Of Russia. 1t is
reasonable to believe that this is the case, for
otherwise the British would hardly be going
ahead as they are doing. Though the collapse
of Italy has undoubtedly encouraged them,
unless they can count on the Turks they
would be rash to dare the Germans to come
on in Bulgaria.
In any event, there is new feeling in the
atmosphere over the Mediterranean and in
the Balkans. The air is charged with British
confidence. For the first time since the war
began the British have taken the initiative.
They are no longer waiting for Hitler's next
blow but are dealing their own. The change is
as welcome as it is noteworthy.

but it may help you to understand
a remarkable metamorphosis that
has taken place in a young woman

renee the other night in Lady in
the Dark"
In this drama with music Miss
Lawrence portrays a young woman
who is suffering from shadow-neu-
rosis. She is the editor of a mag
azine badly in need of sanitariums
and of expert medical counsel. Her
dreams and moments of depres-
sion come to life on the stage in
the form of dances and %bizarrely-
lighted off-shadow skits. Not ex-
actly a new idea (Noel Coward
did it magnifcently in Tonight
at Eight-Thirty'') but it is handled
brilliantly by the production at the
Alvin theater. In the end, of
course, Miss Lawrence snaps out
of her daze and is restored to
zestful normalcv.
