Disoruunized Labor

For years the cub reporter has
been told that if he could bring in
story of man biting dog, instead

achieve undying fame. 1t was the
acme Of journalism. Seemingly it
had not occurred to the editor to
get the cub to aim still higher, and
bring in a tale of man biting him

closely akin to it, 60 to Paterson,

picketing itself. One branch is
picketing the establishment and
another branch Of the very same
union is picketing the pickets OF the
first branch. Group number one is
trying to shoe customers away, while
group number two urges them to 60

Of the buying public who pay atten-
ton to pickets are said to be greatly
confused over what to do. Whether
they go buy or pass by, they run
the distinct risk Of being unfair to

The Perseids

AT midsummer each year the Earth
passes through cloud of "star dust"
The night of August IL traditionally
is supposed to be the best for seeing
the meteors whose radiant is the
constellation known as Perseus. Even
In ordinary seasons our particular
planet is struck each day by a billion
fragments of cosmic stuff flying
through space. Most of these mis-
Siles are burned to cinders by friction
as they speed through the atmos-
phere surrounding the globe. People
behold them in their luminous de-
scent and marvel at their brilliance.
But when remnant of one of them
is found, it is merely a black chunk
of metal or stone. Visitors to the
American Museum Of Natural History
in New York may see q lump weighing
thirty-six and a half tons, brought
back from Greenland by Commander
Peary. The whole Arctic must have
felt the impact Of its collision. Still
more powerful would have been the
vibration caused by the Canon
Diablo meteorite Of Arizona, which
raised crater in the desert $50 feet
high and 1000 feet in diameter.
The Perseids, however, are specks

on our trade relations with the
American republics. United States
exporters quickly obtained replace
ments, and thus have been able, in
most instances, to carry on their
operations without serious Interrupt
tions.
Though the drive against Axis
agents seems to have been notably
successful, continued vigilance will
be needed to prevent a new Nazi
penetration of our distribution media
in Latin America. Despite the set
backs they recently have encoun-
tered, the Nazis still are strongly in
trenched in this region and they
still have their eye on its markets.
For this reason it is to be hoped that
American exporters will exercise
care in the selection of their agents
in Latin America.

ARLINGTON Zoninq

FdSt-grOWlng Arlington COuHCy Is
taking timely and intelligent steps to
see that its phenomenal develop
ment proceeds along orderly, planned
lines. Essentially a rural commu-
nifty prior to the first World War,
Arlington-formerly known as Alex
andria County-began to suffer
growing pains" as the postwar
population Of Washington spilled
over onto the Virginia shore of the
Potomac River. When its residential
building boom eventually assumed
permanent" proportions, the county
found itself unprepared to control
adequately the nature and direction
of residential and commercial ex-
pansion. Threatened with the ills
of haphazard, patchwork building
construction and street and service
Improvements, the county enacted
its first zoning regulations in 1880.
The population at that time was
about $4,000. t.......--
Such early zoning efforts helped to
stem the tide of undesirable con-
struction, including unrestricted
row-house projects. But with the
continued growth of the county
into a full-fledged small city, Arl-
ington has found it necessary not
only to strengthen its zoning laws,
but to do bit of pioneering in the
realm of city planning. Confronted
with 113 per cent increase in popu-
lation during the past ten years, the
county has deemed it advisable to
institute novel population density
control" plan, under which all future
construction is to be regulated so as
to preserve a reasonable ratio be-
tween land area and extent of occu-
pancy. Thus, according to Donald
r. Locke, county zoning admins
traitor, the number of living units
permitted on certain building area
will be restricted rigidly. Not only
must adequate ground surround
apartment buildings, it is pointed
out, but off-street parking space for
automobiles must be provided.
Furthermore, the county is about
to inaugurate a drastically revised
zoning system, designed to afford
more effective control of semi-de-
tached and duplex houses, boarding
and tourist homes and apartment
buildings. Existing regulations have
been found to be too broad to pre-
vent improper encroachment in some
instances. Arlington County and it's
zoning authorities well deserve the
unusual compliment implied by the
numerous inquiries which have been
received from zoning and planning
experts in other large communities.
In addition, it has been commended
by the Virginia State Planning Board
for its forward looking leadership
in the field OF zoning." Arlington
realizes that constant diligence In
zoning and planning today will avert
mistakes that would be costly to
undo tomorrow.

Travelling about forty miles a
second, they burst into flame
at an altitude Of approximately
sixty miles. Spectators glimpse them
in their brief moments Of destruction,
and their beauty depends somewhat
upon the sensitive Imagination Of
those who watch them die. Shake
speare - in Midsummer Nights
Dream"-tells Of
"A mermaid on a dolphin's back,
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious
breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her
song:
And certain stars shot madly from
their spheres,
To hear the sea-maid's music"
OF course, the Bard was mistaken
in his notion that shooting stars are
stars in fact. But his error is no
more serious than that OF Thomas
Jefferson, who, much later, declared
his agnosticism about meteorites in
the words: II would prefer to be-
lieve that two Yankee professors
should lie rather than that stones
should fall from heaven" Under
the compulsion of similar doubts
museums which had preserved such
messengers from outer space" re-
luctantly took them out of the
exhibition cases and threw them
away lest they should be ridiculed."
The curators perhaps had not heard
that Chinese chronicles mention the
fall of piece of celestial iron which
killed ten men in 616 B. c. Neither
were they informed that the en-
peror Jahangir had a sword made
from a mass of meteoric iron which
fell in the Punjab in 1920.
If "star dust" in any ponderous
and cataclysmic quantity drops from
the azure dome tonight, let it be
hoped that it lights where it can
accomplish useful purpose. How
true an example of poetic justice 1t
would be if a f1rst-class Perseid
should blast that living genius of
devastation who has wrought more
damage on the face of this planet
than all the meteors that ever fell!

THIS AND THAT
By Charles +. TrdceaceH.

It Is simply . question of purchasing
one and trying 10 keep it alive.
1t Is not as simple as it sounds, as
many . person has found out. For each
alive and alert creature one will find,
there are thousands upon thousands
which have died miserable and lingering
deaths.
Trying to keep . turtle in good shape
puts one on trial, as 1t were. The task
seems so absurdly easy that even q
child could do it. But few weeks show
just how difficult it is, and in time one
comes to see that good management re-
quires some study and application.
Persons who are interested in aquatic
life must be reconciled to being regarded
as queer" by persons interested mainly
in politics and It's concommitant, war.
1t is often impossible for the latter to
understand that any one can have a
genuine and honest interest In the things
Of nature.
The political mind simply has no in
terest in such things, and to account for
it in others, must try to discover some
hidden reason.
One Of these, favorite with those who
have no natural interest in nature. is
that all such recreation is escape" In a
very plain FORM
Nothing could be less true
The truth is that the person who likes
nature does so simply because he likes
nature. There is no more to it than
that.
Sometimes the most political minded
person will have this side too, and then
We find very rare person, one who will
pat old Fido on the head at the same
time he makes plans for battle.
\
1t is impossible to know just how much
| affection for aquatic animals is re-
turned.
There are times when even a goldfish
seems to have a genuine liking for the
| person who feeds it.
We have never asked any more Of these
creatures than that they enjoy their
| food
Food. after ALL is the great basic tie
between all forms of life.
All OF us, flsh and fowl, tiger and
lamb, warrior and peace lover, can un-
derstand the lure Of a good meal.
II an odd creature in a bowl takes
food from a certain hand, in time 1t will
come to understand the connection be-
tween that hand and its life.
This understanding will not be in
tellectual, but 1t will be quite sufficient.
| Certainly it means an affectionate re-
| gard of a certain sort.
1t may be that If the worlds warlike
thinking is ever to be tempered, it will
come about through two wonder-work-
ing ingredients, love and food, love work
| ing through the mind and spiritual
areas, and food through the body and
the physical area of life.
When a hungry creature Is fed,
whether man or terrapin, love is being
put to work in a very practical fashion.

"FORTTETH STREET.

Dear Sir:
Your column Of August / interested
me very much as I possess q small ter
rapin. I have had him Cor herr thxee
and half years, and never have been
able to get him to eat scra,ed beef.
Really he seems afraid Of it, for as
soon as he sees it he becomes very ex-
cited and backs away as fast as he can.
He eats tuna, shrimp, salmon, and even
sardines.
II have been washing on the oil
maybe should have left it on. He con-
sumes the greatest quantity of lettuce,
for such a little fellow.
when I bought him he was the size
of a half dollar, now he is 81 inches
long and 3 wide, and repeating an old
saying, he is as fat as butter
Each day after his sun bath he is put
on the floor for a stroll of 10 minutes
or so.
when I enter the room he will come
toward me as fast as he can. Probably
he associates me with something to eat.
II do hope his diet Is correct and that
no harm will come to him for refusing
to eat beef.
"I like the little fellow and for all I
know it may be mutual.
Your columns are very enjoyable. I
never miss reading them.
Very truly yours, M. B. D."
II turtle" in home aquarium will
eat salmon, tuna, shrimp and sardines,
there is no need for the keeper to worry
because he will not eat beef.
Scraped beef is simply the best remedy,
along with sunshine, for the slow dying
which sometimes overtakes these small
creatures in the bowl.
Too often they are fed a manufac-
tured food which lacks the vital protein
and vitamins.
Too long time without meat In some
form will cause the shells to grow soft,
all growth stop, and the eyes to become
covered with a white hlm.
In such q case, there is no remedy
equal to scraped beef, plus sunshine,
plus cod-liver oil.
If turtle will eat such foods as our
correspondent names. along with some
lettuce, there simply is no need for beef
There is nothing but individual idio-
syncrasy to account for the refusal to
eat scraped beef. Ordinarily these ami
mails eat it greedily.
The fact that the specimen under dis
cussion gets plenty of fish and vitamins
probably accounts for its refusal to eat
beef. 1t knows when 1t has had enough.
Salmonsoil has more vitamin A units
than cod-liver oil. There is no need to
refrain from wiping this oil of before
putting it into the bowl. Too much of 1t
would spoil the water. There will be
enough left in the tissues.

Successful HousecIeunino

The recent disclosure by Secretary
Jones that interviews with business
men by field officers of the Depart
ment of Commerce have resulted,
since February, in the severance of
more than 1000 undesirable connec-
tions" in Latin America, will be well
coined as an indication that the cam
paign to eliminate Axis sympathizers
from the distribution of United States
products in the American republics
is achieving its objective. AS the
Department of Commerce points out,
the profits made by Axis agents in
selling American goods were used to
help finance Nazi propaganda and
other subversive activities. 1t was
of vital Importance, therefore that
Axis agents be replaced by those who
are friendly to the United States.
That this is being done will be a
cause for widespread satisfaction.
Every effort has been made to help
American business secure replace
ments for the ousted Nazi agents.
Following investigations by Govern
ment intelligence services, lists were
prepared of desirable agents and dis
tributors for United States products
in South and Central America. As a
result Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
program, in the preparation of which
American businessmen have CO.
operated with Government officials,
the issuance of the pro-Axis black
list, or list of blocked nationals"
and the elimination of Axis agents
that followed It's PRONUNCIATION, are
reported to have had little effect

Fer Radio Addresses.
To the Editor of The Star:
The day left on my vacation read

can coffee growers. After thinking about
1t and talking it over with others down
here in the sunshine and ocean air, I
decided that Mr.. Kent and the several

should have pointed out to them the
main point OF the broadcasts, which they
evidently missed-namely, to encourage
better and more extensive economic re-
lations with our neighbors, which she,
as the Presidents wife, can certainly do.
She also is living up to her theory
that all Of US, as individuals, regardless
of who We are, greatly can improve
the relationship Of our country with
others in the Western Hemisphere.
AL too often We let these opportunities
pass.
OF course, Mr.. Kent had no thought

her. but in suggesting that she "try SELL

Threat to Defense

Two current Strikes-those at the
Caldwell, N. j., CurtisS- Wright pro-
peller plant and at the Federal Ship
building and Drydock Corporation at
Kearny, N. J.-once again emphasize
the threat to national defense which
is inherent in the Governments fail
ure to take firm and unequivocal
stand on industrial disputes.
The Caldwell strike was called by
an American Federation of Labor
machinists' local after it had lost
collective bargaining election con-
Quoted under the supervision of the
National Labor Relations Board.
The election, held on Thursday, was
won by an independent union, and
the A. F. of L. men began their strike
on the following day. They are de-
manding, with other things, wage in
creases and closed shop. processing
lack of faith in the bargaining
powers of the independent.
AS matters stand, the management
cannot negotiate with the A. F. of L.
union, but must negotiate with the
Independent if and when it is certi-
fed as the appropriate bargaining
agency. Until that certification is
made 1t cannot negotiate with either.
These facts, of course, are known to
the strikers, or certainly to their
leaders. But they have struck never
theless, and are tying up production
in one of the Nations most vital
defense plants.
This situation obviously results
from the fact that the Wagner Act,
while providing penalties for nom
complying employers, contains no
provision Of any kind for penalties
applicable to unions. Thus, as in this
case, a union can ask for a Labor
Board election. If it wins all well
and good. And if it loses, it can
simply ignore the election result and
take strike action to enforce de-
mands which the employer is legally
forbidden to grant. This is situa-
tlon which glaringly illustrates the
shortcomings of law frankly
weighted on the side of labor. And
1t also emphasizes the futility of
hoping for harmonious industrial re-
latlons until the statute is amended
to compel unions to live up to re-
sponsibilities commensurate with the
special privileges conferred on them.
In the Kearny case, where equally
vital defense work is under way, the
strike resulted from a refusal on the
part of the employer to accept a
National Defense Mediation Board
recommendation that he sign con-
tract with the C. I. o. Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers containing a union secur-
1ty" clause. Such clause provides
that all present members of the
union and all employees voluntarily
Joining 1t must maintain their men,
berships or lose their jobs.
AS a result of the employers re-
fusal to accept this recommendation,
the union is demanding that the
Government take over his plant.
And, unless the strike is settled, it is
quite probable that this will be done.
However, if there is to be even the
faintest pretenSe of fairness on the
Governments part in it's relations
with employers and employees, it is
difficult to see how the employers
plant can be taken over in the one
case while the union workers are left
free to flout the law in the other.

Expresses Appreciation
For Judge Davids6n's Services.

To the Editor of The Star:
wish to thank Judge Davidson for his
distinguished, If short-hved, services to
the District OF Columbia. If he had only
q longer time to serve the District, he
would have had very salutary effect
on our District criminal population.
His suggestion as to an habitual GRIM
inal Law is very sound. but it is not
absolutely necessary If the present judg-
es would put few teeth in our present
laws and remember that the ordinary
peaceful citizen is entitled to a little
protection from lawless thugs.
In the recent probe Of the Police De-
partment, the investigating committee
seems to have gone off on the wrong
tangent When one oficial of the
Police Department ventured the sug-
gestion that there was no cooperation
from the courts he was virtually ignored.
This was the soundest idea to be ad-
vanced during the whole inquiry, but
it would have meant a probe of the
courts, and naturally these judges have
some political power or they would not
have been appointed.
