Outside JUDGES

The decision to call in two Federal
judges from other Jurisdictions to
assist with the work of the District
Court here during the summer recess
should prove most helpful in FORE
stalling the congestion which usually
awaits the regular judges when they
return to the bench in the fall.
1t is understood that the visiting
judges are to be available for both
civil and criminal work, and it is
desirable that this should be the case.
In all probability, however, greater
emphasis will be placed on criminal
work, for it is in this field that sum-
mer congestion is most serious.
At this time the criminal docket
is in good shape, with only 154 cases
awaiting trial. The grand jury meets
regularly during the summer months,
however, and unless arrangements
are made to dispose of these new
cases as they come along congestion
Is inevitable.
In the civil branches of the court
a most commendable improvement
has been noted during the past year.
AS of October /, 1910, eighteen months
elapsed between the time a jury case
was put on the trial calendar and
the date on which it was reached
for trial. BY May 81, 1941, that time
interval had been reduced by six
months, so that a calendared case
was reached for trial within a year,
and in the non-jury cases the time
lapse was reduced from eleven to ten
months. This improvement is due
in large measure to the introduction
of the trial system, and it is all
the more remarkable when it is re-
membered that the volume of the
courts work Is constantly increasing.
In the light of the progress being
made it is entirely possible that the
court in the near future will be cur
rent in its work, and that is a condi-
ton which would be welcomed by
the entire community.

Letters to the Editor
England Held Fighting
For Human Freedom.
To the Editor of The Star:

For Human Freedom.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Through generous space In your paper,
a Mr.. Dixon says that seven of his kin
are in the uniform of the United States
Army-this tribe" to employ his own
word, being happy to fight for England's
welfare and glory provided the United
States so orders"
Good for you, Mr.. Dixon. Your dec
laration shows Irish family antipathy
for England is not so deeply rooted but
that a formal order could dig 1t out.
Dixon reminds us of Cromwell's bru-
tally 290 years ago. Hitler. in brutality,
surpasses Cromwell as the machine gun
outclasses the ancient blunderbuss
England has many sins to repent
Most of us are so afflicted. Many of us
do hope that a chance may be given
us to perform good deed by which we
may wipe out portion at least OF that
stain of sim
At the present moment England is en-
gagged in the noblest struggle that could
possibly be devised to test the heart and
soul of man. She is fighting for self
preservation, It's true, but at the same
time fighting for human freedom, and
she displays a spirit of sublime courage
and willingness to sacrifice never ex-
ceeded in history.
When a hero dies for his fellow man
will we stand by and jeer at the sins
and shame of his great-grandfather
That is not the Irish way.

Scores Attitude of
Anti War" Groups.

To the Editor of The Star:
If the belief the pacifsts hold today is
true-that all wars are alike evil-then
it must be retroactive and true as well
of all the generations before our time.
If it is true that all wars are a sin, as
the pacifists maintain, then the United
States of America was conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity. For this
American Republic was preceded by
seven years of the Revolutionary War
before its birth as Nation.
1t would appear that the pacifsts are
greatly dissatisfied with the moral status
of the American way of life, because of
its connection throughout the history
of this country with war and because of
its potential relation to war at this time
1t would seem that those Americans
who today find themselves so completely
out of harmony with the American way
of life, would hasten their departure from
the United States, for it becomes more
and more evident that the solemn hour
has arrived when all loyal Americans
will be called on to protect, defend, and
preserve" the American way of life with
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor" w. H. H.

gious and other activities. Washing
tons goal is $250,000, to be raised
by 5000 solicitors who have volun-
teered their services. Participating
in this drive are the Young Mems

Catholic Community Service, the
Salvation Army, the Young Women's

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Traceuell.

Trees hold important places in memory
pictures. Often they come back to us
when they have no reason for coming.
However or why they come, tree pictures
in the mind are always pleasant.
The practical care of trees in long dry
spells is another matter.
There is not much that the ordinary
small land holder can do. BY the time
the drought is realized, the damage, if
any, is done.
since the root spread Is so large. But
something can be done by remembering
to put on water for the lawn in such
way as to flow excess water, if possible,
squarely around the trunk and out into
| the surface beneath the total leaf spread
The common feeling is that nothing
much can be done for trees by the
amateur, and this feeling is about right.
Tree work requires much knowledge
and long practical experience. Fortu-
nately for the average holder of few
trees, these noble specimens are tough.
| They have been in the world long time,
and must meet the elements "a hours a
day. The fact that they are here shows
that they have been successful
| 1t is said that damage from drought
will not show up for two or more years,
and may not ever appear, so great is
the resistance of most of our common
trees.
The catalpas were in bloom at the
/ time of this writing. The panicles of
bloom almost covered the trees. They
somewhat resemble locust tree blooms,
| but have more color, especially on close
| inspection.
Catalpas belong to the Bignoniaceae,
or Bignonia family. Most of its repre-
sentatives appear in the tropics.
| And surely there is something tropical
about the appearance of our catalpas.
Especially when those big caterpillars
! get on them!
These are long, fat and handsome fell
| lows, as caterpillars go, and they 60
rather fast. as most persons who are
afraid of them know
They are black and yellow, with a
great deal of fuzz on them. as you would
expect anything from a catalpa tree to
have.
If you don't like caterpillars, don't
plant catalpas
This is the famous Indian cigar tree,
sometimes called the Indian bean, or
just cigar tree
There is another tree with hard shell
for its seeds, the Kentucky coffee tree
of which there are some specimens in
and around Washington
The coffee tree-a charming name
which the seeds scarcely deserves to
many ways OF thinking a much better
tree in every way than the catalpa
There seems to be no particular reason
why the coffee tree is not planted a great
deal more than it is 1t is sturdy, with a
fine trunk and splendid branches, with
great feathery clusters of leaves.
1t is a slow grower, and no doubt this
| Is why it is not set out more.

Lou Gehriq

Baseball's iron horse" is dead. But
the passing of Lou Gehrig, famed
first baseman and slugger of the New
York Yankees, is more than tragedy
of the baseball world. His is a loss
that will be felt far outside the field
of American fandom, for Lou Gehrig
attained greatness not only by his
amazing feats with the bat, but by
his extraordinary record of endur-
ance during his fourteen years of
service with the New York team, by
his unfailing modesty, and, most i'm
portant of all, by his exemplary con-
duct on and off the diamond.
1t was paradoxical that this STEEL
nerved athlete, whose record of play
ing in 2,130 consecutive games has
never been closely approached by
any other player, should have been
cut down in the height of his vigor by
an insidious and rare disease which
Slapped his vitality and shriveled the
muscles that propelled him into the
front rank of baseball's immortals.
1t is characteristic of Gehrig that
even in his fatal illness he retained
his good humor and courage. Unable
longer to function efficiently on the
ball field, he voluntarily Withdrew
from baseball and accepted appoint
ment as a member of the New York
City Parole Commission. He devoted
himself diligently to his new work
until his physical condition forced
him to give up even that activity.
His untimely end will be mourned by
generation of Americans who
marveled at his exploits and who
admired him as an exemplar of
American craftsmanship at its best.

Meritorious Campaign

The drive of the United Service
ORGANIZATIONS for funds with which
to provide morale-building recrea-
tional and other leisure-time activ1-
ties for men of the armed forces Is
deserving of the enthusiastic and
wholehearted support of every Wash
ington citizen. The U. S. o. pro-
gram is the answer to the commonly
expressed question, why isn't some
thing done to help men OF our uni
formed defense services make better
use of their spare hours?" The prob
lem has become an acute one with
the rapid expansion of military and
naval organizations during the past
year. Washington, like many other
cities near Army or Navy posts, has
felt keenly the need for a co-ordl-
mated welfare program designed to
meet the special requirements OF SOL
diers, sailors and marines on week.
end leave. There are more than
10000 men at cantonments or regu-
lar stations within radius of twenty
miles of the city. The majority of
them have no close relatives or
friends in this community. The first
impulse on leaving camp on Satur-
days or Sundays Is to head for Wash
ington in quest of entertainment
and general relaxation from re-
gtraints of military discipline.
Recognizing that it is unfair to
these young men to leave them
idling around the city's streets and
parks for want of something to do
or places to go, six community well
fare organizations have Joined with
the Government in a cooperative
enterprise to rectify the situation.
