Discusses Criticism of Article
On Suicide of Count Teleki.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The comment of a former member OF
the Rumanian diplomatic service criti-
cising Dorothy Thompson's article about
the death of Count Teleki is far from
inspiring
For the benefit of all fair-minded
persons I wish to state the facts regard
ing the treaty of friendship proposed
between Hungary and Yugoslavia.
First, this treaty was suggested to the
Yugoslavs by the government of Hun
gary more than nine years ago. Not
until a powerful German army was
assembled on the borders of Yugoslavia
did the Belgrade government act upon
the proposal, hoping at that late date
to use Hungarian influence to better
Yugoslavian relations with Germany.
In the treaty the Yugoslavs were to
agree to turn over certain territories
inhabited by an overwhelming majority
of Magyars. This the new government
in Belgrade refused to do. Thus the
treaty was repudiated by the Yugoslavs
themselves.
Count Teleki continued frantically
working for peace. His efforts were re-
warded By wanton bombardment of open
and defenseless Hungarian cities, like
PEGS, where q 700-year-old cathedral

downtown district; improvement of
outlying highways, and construction
Of new bridges. Many of the proposals,
in whole or in part, have been ad-
vanced previously in various quarters.
1t is interesting to note that the
report advises against underground
parking garages, contending that
they are not economically sound.
Instead, it is proposed that parking
lots and garages be provided on the
fringe of the business district, with
Short-line bus connections to the
downtown section. The District Gov
ernment, it is stated, should take the
lead in establishing such parking
areas, with a view later to turning
them over to private operators when
their success is demonstrated. More
parking meters, more commercial
lots, more parking facilities
and more parking space near Federal
departments are recommended.
1t is estimated roughly that the
total cost of such a long-vieW pro-
gram would be about $44 100000. The
financing of such an undertaking
would require careful study. The
report suggests that the cost might
be betrayed in part by increasing the
gasoline tax from two to four cents
a gallon. It would be unfair, however,
to assess the whole cost of such a
program against Washington motor
lists, since they will not be the only
beneficiarieS. In the case of an
Alexandria tunnel, for example,
Washington would derive indirect
advantages, but Virginia and other
Jurisdictions also would benefit and
the tunnel would have definite ma
tional defense potentialitieS. The
finance question, like sundry other
controversial matters outlined in the
report, deserves the full conSidera-
ton" earnestly requested bv Captain
Whitehurst and his staff. They prop
erly advocate that wide publicity be
given the report and that all in
terests be given an opportunity to
discuss it in public hearings Ger
tainly the report is an important and
valuable contribution to the cause of
highway improvement and traffic
safety in the District of Columbia.

Civil Service Order

The executive order implementing
the Ramspeck Act is Well-described
by President Roosevelt as a ''Signifi-
cant milestone in civil service re-
form Paving the way to civil Serv-
ice status for thousands of positions
previously excepted by law, the order
reasonably may be expected to doom
the patronage system in the Federal
Government and open the door to
careers for qualified men and wom-
en-. This was the goal envisioned by
pioneers in the field of civil service
when the first law was passed more
than ty-eight years ago. 1t was
the ideal of Representative Rams
peck and a few associates in the
House and the Senate who have
fought for a merit system that would
have more than the name.
1t is a matter for regret that Presi-
dent Roosevelt saw fit to depart
from basic civil service principles in
approving the plan that puts the
selection of lawyers in the hands of
special committee. There is no
assurance other than the contention
of its sponsors in the Reed Commit
tee that it will be productive of a
higher type of employe than is pos
sible under Civil Service Commits
sion procedure, and it very definitely
lacks the safeguards against favor
itiSm-and even patronage-that the
latter provides This particular fea-
ture will be on trial.
1t will be many months-perhaps
two or three yearS-before the order
will be effective. After the positions
covered by the Ramspeck Act are
brought into civil service by its terms
on January l, the incumbents must
pass non-competitive examinations
to acquire classified service. Even
under ordinary circumstances these
tests would pose huge task for the
Civil Service Commission, and the
problem is made more complicated
now by the volume of work neceS-
STATED in connection with the de-
fense program.
Once the order becomes effective,
however, it should give assurance
that this Government will not pass
through another period such as that
of the early years of the New Deal,
when civil service was junked and
patronage rode high.

the District voting representation in
Congress and the Electoral College
the people of the United States must
by constitutional amendment give to
Congress the power to make this
grant. The pending SumnerS-Capper
amendment is so worded as to give
to Congress the power to grant to
the people of the District voting
representation in Congress and the
Electoral College, without converting
the District into a sovereign state
and without destroying national
control of the National Capital.
Differences of opinion have been
discovered as to whether one or two
proposals of the Sumners-Capper
amendment will be helpful or hurtful
in the campaign to secure enactment
and ratification of the amendment.
Encouraging evidence of the unity of
sentiment in favor of national rep
resentatlon is given by the fact that
in these cases proponents of the
questioned proposals have ceased
insistence upon them, recognizing
national representation as the pri-
mary objective.
WashlngtonianS urge that in the
very spirit of the times this neces-
sary constitutional amendment be
nucbed tO pna ptnoent apd rotifico tio,,
by the States, giving to Congress the
general power desired but leaving
the details to be worked out in the
future in the discretion of Congress.

Highway Program

In presenting to the Commissioners
the Highway Departments Compre-
hensiVe preliminary report on high
way, parking and related traffic
problems, with certain conclusions
and recommendations, Captain H. c.
Whitehurst, director of highways, has
laid the foundation for an orderly
and intelligent approach to solution
of at least some of WaShington'S
acute and peculiar traffic difficulties.
AS Captain Whitehurst aptly points
out, the problem at the Seat of
Government is complicated by factors
not to be found in any other COM
parable American city. And although
our traffic ills are serious, and are
growing more so every day, we have
fallen far behind many cities in
diagnosing and treating them. To
use phrase from the report, we have
been "doctoring the patient when we
should have operated on him."
Fundamentally, of course, it is
recognized that the trouble in general
arises from the fact that the amount
of traffic has been increasing in
recent years beyond the capacities
of existing streets and bridges-and
parking places. Much has been done
to modernize and enlarge these
facilities, but lack of complete and
accurate information as to traffic
requirements, coupled with in
adequate funds, has resulted in
rather haphazard program of i'm
provements. Particularly welcome,
therefore, are the data in the report
regarding the traffic counts made on
important thoroughfares and bridges
and the parking studies conducted
in the congested downtown areas.
On the basis of facts adduced by
the still incomplete highway planning
and parking surveys, the Highway De-
partment concludes that the chief
hope of relief for the city's traffic
troubles lies in system of improved
trunk highways radiating from the
heart of the business district, includ-
ing sections of depressed roadway,
grade-separation structures and
channelized intersections with light
control: wider streets in the center
of the city, connecting with the radial
arteries; better off-street terminal
facilities" (parking space) in the

Says YugOslavia Should Continue
Resistance to German Invaders.
tn the Editnr of Tho Star.


To The Editor of The Star:
The Germans may appear to be victo-
rious in Yugoslavia, but those who know
and love that country will not so soon
give up hope for freedom there.
Perhaps, it is true that the leaders Of
Yugoslavia betrayed their people. If
SO, they should hang their heads in
shame For centuries the Yugoslavian
folk-all groups without eXception-have
struggled for liberty. 1t is incredible
that they should be discouraged by tenn
porary defeats or disappointments.
I say this in the memory of my only
brother who came to America in 1910
and was one Of the first volunteers from
Butte, Mont, in 1915. He left a good
job, good wages, everything-to defend
his native land. At Kolasin in 1922 he
died.
The best advice I can give the Yugo-
slavian people is to trust to the friend
ship of the United States If they sub
nit to the Nazis, they are lost. Far
better to continue resistance, in the hope
that some day freedom from Hitler will
be gained. MIKE CHETKOVICH,

Prefers Death to Slavery
If Axis Powers Triumph.

To the Editor of The Star
These isolationists, appeasers, no-for-
eign-War advocates, ETC., think they ap-
pear noble to other Americans because
of their constantly expressed dread of
seeing American boys killed on foreign
soil.
They oppose conveys because that
would take us to war They would
rather our American boys remained
alive, so that later on when the axis
shall have won the war through Ameri-
can inaction, these boys will become
the economic slaves of the brutalitarian
system. Better, they reason, living slaves
than dead freemen!
But more sober minded Americans say,
1--WE have only one life to live-the free
life. A life of slavery, economic or other
wise, is worse than DEATH"
Conveys are our way of telling the
world: I'VE have a right to do what
we are doing and be where we are and
what are you going to do about it?"

THIS AND THAT
By Charles K. Trace1UeH.

The first wood thrush to be reported
arrived in Friendship Heights on April
Is, brought by the untimely warm
weather of that period.
This probably was record arrival for
the city, since this bird usually does not
appear until the latter part of the
month, mostly April %, in many
vicinities.
Many gardeners say they can set their
clocks by the arrival of the wood thrush
In our own community the first thrush
has arrived on April % eight out of
nine times, and that time he appeared
first exactly two weeks before the magic
date.
No bird, perhaps, receives a heartier
welcome from its friends
The wood thrush is not only a beauty,
as birds 60 but it also is one of the
finest of all the wood singers, and most
mannerly in all its actions.
Some readers may want to know why
it is called the wood thrush, since it
appears with great impartiality in
suburban yards everywhere, and at
times even in the city.
The name was given to it by the
colonistS.
The species was found then only in
the deep woods.
1t is this change in habit which has
helped endear this bird to countless
thousands of admirers. Year by year
the bird came closer and closer TO
habitation. until within the past 80 or
40 years it has changed completely its
habitat.
While its cousin, the hermit thrush,
has lived up to its name, and has stuck
closely TO the forests, the wood thrush.
belying its name, has become a bird of
suburban sections.
1t is the one bird which the newcomer
to the suburbs welcomes with shout.
Robins and bluebirds and cardinals are
all very we'll and fine in their way, but
they scarcely draw the same welcome
from the newcomer. He has heard so
much about this bird-especially if he
has read here-that he is constantly on
the lookout for it.
The first sight of it is something never
to be forgotten, but that is paled by the
first real recognition of its song.
This hearing of the wood thrush song
for the first time is a bird red letter day
in the life of any one interested in this
form Of life.
A handsome bird is this thrush. mostly
rich brown, with gray breast liberally
spotted with dark spots or splashes.
The robin belongs to the thrush
family, but only the immature robins
have spots on their breast. Young
robins have them almost as profusely
as adult wood thrushes.
The robins, too. partake somewhat of
the stately manners which distinguish
the thrush.
But it carries them to no such lengths.
While it moves with a bit of the same
statelineSs, 1t never eXemplifies it as
well or as much as the wood thrush
which seems to the manner born. Let
us insist on Ito the manner" not manor.
The phrase comes from Shakespeare,
and he wrote it 'manner.D

Miss Thompson could say more about
the "altruistic" invasion of Hungary by
the Rumanians. The invaders took 300
locomotives, several thousand freight
cars loaded with food and from private
homes, silver. linen, clothing and other
valuables For confirmation of the
atrocities committed by the Rumanians
see the reports of the Hoover Com
mission, l9l9-l92l.
In spite of all the pressure the Nazi
party is still outlaWed in Hungary.
The suicide of Count Telek was not
an act of despair, but manly sacrifice
of gentleman of honor who had seen
his lifework for peace destroyed.
