The Old Fishin' Hole

The lure of angling is universal,
starting in childhood with campaigns
against minnows and small sunfish,
and continuing through life with at
tacks on larger fish If possible. If
not possible, full-grown men and
women often will try their hands at
pee wee prey. as may be proved every
spring when the Maryland gudgeon
season Is on.
Think, then, of the joy of the in
habitants of Rushville, Indiana,
when the report got around that
right within the city limits a mon
ster was available. The old fishin'
hole was in a sewer, and its occupant
had evidently swum up there from
the millrace exit. Every one in town
showed up for the sport. Peering
into the dark depths of the municipal
flshin' hole, they could observe their
prey and even hear it. The only
question was what to use for bait.
After much consultation, the Izaak
Walton disciples selected from their
tackle boxes an ear of corn. Their
choice proved wise. They got an
almost immediate strike and with
the help of block and tackle landed
the biggest catch in the history of
RuShville-a 150-pound hog.

Civic Planners Express Appreciation
OF War Department Building Campaign


To the Editor of The Star:
The Star is to be congratulated on the
educational campaign which it conducted
in the matter of the proposed new War
Department building. In midsummer
with so many officials and citizens away
from Washington, a decision would un-
doubtedly have been reached without
benefit of complete investigation, plan
ming advice and public sentiment if The
Star had not brought the matter to the
attention of the public.
The outcome would seem to be in line
with planning principles:
l. The space directly in front of Ar
lington Cemetery is not to be used, and
presumably will be left free from build
ings Of any sort.
2. The building which is to be erected
upon the quartermaster depot site will
not be more than half the size originally
proposed and will be destined, according
to the President, for future use as public
files or for quartermaster stores.
3. There now seems to be no obstacle
to the present plan for the War De-
partment buildings to be permanently
situated in the Northwest Rectangle.
With sincere appreciation for the part
The Star played in bringing about this
consummation, I am very sincerely yours.
HARLEAN JAMES,
Executive Secretary, American Plan
ming and Civic Association.

BroziI's Cooperation

AS recently as June IL, 1910, Brazil
was regarded as "the most vulner-
able country in this hemisphere"
Such was the considered Judgment
of observers skilled in the appraisal
of current international movements.
DR.. Getullo Vargas, self-made PreSi-
dent, "the only man in the repub-
ican history of the nation to hold
office longer than four years." had
proclaimed a variety of neutrality"
which critics thought would favor
the Axis powers. In speech con-
sidered provocative" he had de-
clared: eve are marching toward
future different from all we know
in economic, political and social Or
ganization, and we feel that old sys-
TENS and antiquated formulas have
entered decline" A new era" it
was announced, had begun and "vig-
orous peoples, fit for life, must follow
the route of their aspirations"
The language thus employed by
DR.. Vargas was interpreted in some
quarters as being much like that of
Hitler. But there was no attempt
to coerce either DR.. Vargas or the
people for whom he spoke. The nat
ural genius of the former and the
traditional good will of the latter
solved a problem whose connotations
easily might have become serious
handicapS to pan-American inter-
eStS. DR.. Vargas, as early as June
90, 1910, created an occasion for ex-
planning his position. "Our duty" he
said, "iS to maintain strict neutrality.
In the defense of Brazil, the obliga-
ton of every Brazilian is to conduct
himself in a manner to keep Brazil
out of war" But he "reaff1rmed"
what he denominated "our inten-
tions of pacific collaboration and
solidarity with the brother peoples of
the continent whose destinies are
identified with ours by historic
bonds"
Even more definite and gratifying,
however, was a statement given to
John Gunther by DR.. Vargas on jan
uary 27, 194l. BY that time the
danger of Nazi and Fascist interfer-
ence in pan-America had been made
plain beyond any doubt. It's effect
upon Brazilian opinion was indicated
by DR.. Vargas solemn assurance that
Brazil stands completely solid with
the United States in all matters of
continental solidarity and hemi-
sphere defense. II the United States

Hatch Act Revision

President Mitchell of the Civil
Service Commission has revived an
issue that needs emphasis in urging
revision of the Hatch Act to restore
to the commission discretionary
power to deal with political activity
by Government employees, instead of
Furnishing every offense-no matter
how trivial-by dismissal from the
service.
AS Mr.. Mitchell pointed out in his
address to the American Federation
Of Government Employees in St Paul,
the law now carries the possibility of
injustice, because it makes no dis
tinction between an individual who
deliberately floutS it and one who
unWittingly violates its provisions.
The commission itself always recog-
nized this distinction in enforcing
the traditional civil service prohibi-
tion against political activity, and
while rigid code of conduct was
imposed on civil service employees,
the commission applied penalties in
keeping with the gravity of viola
tions, the scale ranging from repri-
mand to removal. And it may be said
that extreme measures were neceS-
sary only infrequently In a highly
commendable effort to bring about
long-overdue reforms in political
campaigning by Federal workers
generally, Hatch Act sponsors over
looked the desirability Of a flexible
system of discipline, and while every
type of partisan activity previously
prescribed by the commission came
under the new ban, the latitude in
dealing with such situations that had
existed was wiped out. and finding
of guilty now is equivalent to an
order for dismissal.
AS the Civil Service Commission
head said, such restrictive legislation
is difficult of enforcement. Naturally
officials are reluctant to move against
offenders whose greatest fault may
be their unfamiliarity with the
ramifications of the law, but as mat
tiers now stand, no other course is
open unless they choose to ignore
such cases, and that does not make
for respect for the act.
President Mitchell has been ad-
vised that Senator Hatch, author of
the act, favors the suggested change,
and 1t is a matter to which Congress
should give early attention, particu-
larly since it is only a few months
until the 1941 primaries will be get
ting under way.
The Civil Service Commission can
be counted on to punish fragrant
violators to the full extent of the
law, and at the same time, to deal
adequately with minor offenders.
Revision, therefore, will not have the
slightest tendency to weaken en-
forcement

Henry DYER Fruit

The capacity of the greatest of
poets to influence the lives of modern
men has had no more convincing
exemplifcation than in the case of
Henry Dyer Fruit, whose death, at
eighty-six, wide circle of friends
mourn today. To him as to at least
a few Of his contemporaries the
name of William Shakespeare was
possessed of magic power, but to
It's attraction he contributed a quality
of his own which likewise was i'm
pressive.
Mr.. Fruit first came under the spell
OF the Bard of Avon when he was a
boy in Wisconsin. He discovered the
beauty of Shakespeare's language
through his fathers recitation of the
Scriptures. One single folk impulse,
as he believed, had quickened the
author of Hamlet" and the trans
lators and editors of the King James
Bible. The Elizabethan spirit entered
into his soul, never to depart while
yet he breathed.
Had Mr.. Fruit been endowed with
wealth, he might have competed with
Henry and Emily Folger for first
folios, rare manuscripts, precious
relics of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. Instead with only such
savings as were feasible to him as a
school teacher, a magistrate and a
Federal commissioner in North Da-
kota, he brought together "a working
library Of books by and about
Shakespeare. over those volumes he
performed labor Of love which gave
him mastery Of his subject. He knew
his hero as not many others have
known him-for what Hazlitt called
"the force OF human genius" which
Evening star., 1941-09-13

finds 1t necessary to enter actual
warfare, the United States can be
assured of the complete cooperation
of Brazil and all assistance within
Brazilian power"
But DR.. Vargas now has added
pledge to his promise. Addressing a
national audience by radio after a
military review on Sunday, he noti-
fled the Axis that: "Any aggression
from whatever source will find us the
greatest block of varied nationalities
ever got together in any defensive
alliance" That he might not be
misunderstood, it was DR.. Vargas
choice to specify: TT Is not our spirit,
neither is it American policy, to at
tack peoples or violate the rights of
others, but what is latent in the
hearts of all of us from the shores
of the Pacific to those of the Atlantic
is a sentiment of the inviolability of
our continental patrimony."
In return for such support in the
prevailing crisis, the United States,
in a message sent to DR.. Vargas by
President Roosevelt, has offered
moral and material support for
policies based upon continental
friendship and solidarity" The in
fluence of this exchange of senti-
ments already is felt throughout the
world. 1t is one of the fruits of
reason which humanity is learning
to appreciate under the compulsion
Of vast events.

She forgot to include the urge Of the
female to keep the male stirred up and
thus aware of her existence, which he
would like to forget some of the time
and the ability of the female to force
the male to shoulder all of her own
shortcomings
If DR.. Landreth traced the cause of
crying in three-fourths of the boys, she
might find that teasing by females
caused lot of it. She says that women
by training are slightly more proficient
in the use of language than men. This
statement is surely, not true. The great
masters of language through the ages
with few exceptions have been men.
Women have been known for their
much speaking" but it is ridiculous to
call this proficiency in the use of Ian
guage." Rather, it could more truth
fully be called a misuse of language"
Matriarchy is no new idea 1t has
been tried a number of times and has
solved nothing. Women promised that
if they had the vote they would revamp
the world in short order. They have the
FOtC d1lO WOliICll al ONCI tIle WOIlu nave
more overt power than they have ever
had, and look at the world!
Truth is the only thing which will
straighten anything out. 1t is double
talk which keeps things in confusion
Diplomacy should be neither the pre-
rogative of the male nor that of the
female, but of the seekers after truth
who are firm enough in their convic-
tions to be willing to make personal sac
rifice to gain their ends.
incidentally, women always have more
or less ruled the world through their
husbands and their children, due to
masculine gallantry, laziness, a desire to
have peace in the home, physical weak
ness.
Will Rogers said that the women were
not fighting for their rights. They had
their rights long ago." said he. What
they are fighting for is the rest of the
mems rights" LAURA K. POLLOCK.

Discusses Study of Talking
BY Women and bY Men.

To the Editor of The Star:
May have the privilege of comment
ing on an article in The Star for Septem-
Der 8, Let Women Run Diplomacy for
Peace, Says Psychologist? 1t is a
report of study made by DR.. Catherine
Landreth, University of California psy-
chologist, of boys and girls In nursery
schools which she visited.
She is quoted as saying: with women
at the helm in foreign Offices there might
be a lot more talking back and forth
between nations than there is now, but
the chances are that there would be
less military action"
How could there be more talking back
and forth" unless all the parrots in the
world formed a syndicate?
She says that boys cause rs per cent
OF the strife in nursery schools" She
bases her claim on two months of re-
search work in nursery schools in Cali
fornla. Two months of scientific CD re-
search and she solves an age-old world
wide problem to her own satisfaction!
In all crying incidents, boys were re-
sponslble three times out of four times"
she says, and this was attributed in
part to the greater aggressiveness in
boys, which is natural; in part to the
relative inability of boys to gain their
point by out-talking the girls, and in part
to social pressure which requires girls to
be nice and refrain from squabbling.

Appeal for Surrender

CndTIeS n. LluuUeTSu ldLtSG dG-
tack on the Roosevelt administration
must have been disillusioning, even
to those who, believing in his sin
cerity, have been willing to listen
impartially to his arguments and to
weigh them against the case for the
administrations foreign policy.
In his Des Moines speech Thursday
night, Mr.. Lindbergh advanced for
the first time the demagogic conten-
ton that this country is being
maneuvered into the war as the re-
suit of plotting by the British, the
Roosevelt administration and the
Jews. 1t is strange that he over
looked those two familiar whipping
boys, the munitions makers and the
international bankers, but perhaps
their turn will come later.
To most Americans, this effort by
Mr.. Lindbergh to appeal to racial
prejudices will be utterly repugnant,
but hardly more so than another
portion of his address in which he,
in effect, condemned the British for
electing to fight rather than sur
render. If it were not for the British
hope to make the United States re-
sponSible for the war, he said, "fnan-
cially, as we'll as militarily, I believe
that England would have negotiated
a peace in Europe many months ago
and be better off for doing So"
That is a plain statement, and
there can be no question as to it's
implications. Mr.. Lindbergh would
not fight against brutal tyranny
when the odds are long, and If it
were left to him to decide, Britain
would have given up a gallant fight
months ago and taken the best terms
she could get from the Nazi con-
querors. That is strange doctrine,
coming from man who has scoffed
at the thought of American depend
ence on the British fleet and who has
repeatedly reminded his hearers that
in the early days this country was
peopled by breed of men who were
willing and able to defend themselves
without reliance on any other nation.
Has Mr.. Lindbergh, in urging Britain
to accept defeat, forgotten the winter
of Valley Forge, or is there a distinc-
ton to be drawn between freedom
for Americans when they are fight
ing the British and freedom for the
British when they are fighting the
Germans?
1t is not to be believed that Mr..
Gindbergh's advocacy of surrender
will fall on receptive ears in this
country. The great majority of
Americans still respect and admire
a people who are willing to fight for
their liberties, even against heavy
odds, and they have not forgotten
the tragic fate of other nations which
have sought the Elusive security of
a negotiated peace with Hitler To
these Americans there is an infinitely
greater appeal In the position taken
by the President Thursday when he
said:
zone peaceful nation after another
has met disaster because each re-
fused to look the Nazi danger squarely
In the eye until it actually had them
by the throat. The United States
will not make that fatal mistake"
