New Revenue for D. c.?


If all the firemen, policemen and
school teachers, disappointed at being
excluded frcm consideration for salary
increases. will make concerted effort
to see that all out-of-town car-ownerS
are forced to buy District license plates
as required by law, there will be ac-
cumulated in the District treasury funds
more than ample to meet financial re-
quirementS And if these same groups
Of public servants use their collective
protests with the local taxing authority
to insist that District income taxes are
paid on all salaries earned by resident,
a comfortable surplus will result.
In my illegal parking case before,
Judge Nelson, a ruling was enforced to
the effect that any person residing Gas
distinguished from domicileO in the
District for more than 48 hours is re-
quired to obtain District plates for any
car registered in his name and driven
in the District.
In the same block where parked
from Monday night to Friday morning
(prior to return to Baltimore where /
am legally domiciled and vote) there
were cars from Louisiana. Pennsylvania,
New Mexico and equally distant points
from which communication was impossible.
Yet my car. of all these regularly park
ing in the same block month after
month, was the only one selected. The
others are still there. How many thou
sands of illegally driven cars there must
be here. PrOtaxt.

Unwise Economy

1t is unfortunate that only one wing of the
new pediatrics annex of Gallinger Hospital can
be opened at this time but there is no alterna-
tive, in view of the personnel shortage faced by
the institution The personnel shortage is caused
by fund shortage not by lack of doctors, nurses
and other staff members The Health Depart
ment says the staff could be obtained if there
was enough money to pay the cost. Here is
good example of unwise economy-in this case
at the expense of ailing children.
Gallinger asked for enough nurses, attend
ants and other employees to open the entire
So million building For the pediatrics unit the
Health Department requested 2 head nurses, IL
staff nurses, practical nurses and hospital
attendants; for the crippled chidren's unit 1t
asked supervisor, head nurse, staff snurses,
10 practical nurses and 10 hospital attendants;
for the pediatrcs admitting office it sought l
supervisor and staff nurses, and for the
pediatricS clinic, staff nurse practical nurse
and clerk. But the funds granted the hospital
will permit the employment of only staff
nurses 2 head nurses and 4 attendants.
AS consequence, it has been decided to open
only the crippled children's unit of the big
annex, beginning September II. A limited
number of crippled children will be cared for
on the first floor of the wing and pediatric cases
generally will be treated on the second floor.
This is not desirable arrangement at all, but
it must serve until more money and hence more
personnel become available. 1t is true that
there have been delays in receiving necessary
equipment for an earlier opening, but the real
trouble now is lack of an adequate staff. To
spend So million on hospital building which
cannot be fully utilized because of insufficient
funds to run it is wasteful and illogical.

Feet on the Ground

was disturbed by recent letter from
Protesting Taxpayer. who protested that
the Civil Defense Administration oper-
ates fleet of limousines when smaller
cars would do as well.
Why worry about a few cars that
may be necessary to do job for the
people of this country. It seems that
too many minds are being poisoned by
such petty criticism. What about the
larger issues? Are we preparing to sur
vive the devastation another nation may
be planning for us? We aren't going
to win any peace with this constant
internal warfare.
I often think, as walk to the bus
or streetcar, that may some day again
have car of my own. But I'll never
get it by hating my neighbor for the
pretty little convertible he parks in front
of his door. p. A. s.

If It Affronts Lincoln, How About Lee?
To the Editor Of The stor:

A MERICANS everywhere owe debt
~ Of gratitude to DR.. Marvin for his
devoted and recklessfy courageous broad
side in defense of the simple beauty
of the Lincoln Memorial and his fusil-
lade addressed to certain monstroSities
of late hoisted on the Memorial Bridge
abutmentS Especially should Virginians
and all loyal folks of the South rally to
DR.. Marvins side when they realize the
true significance of said monstrosities,
palmed of as Horses With q Stable
Boy"
The poor sculptor must have modelled
those pseudo -horSes after prehistoric
elephants. There used to be draft-horses
to pull beer wagons, and that, no doubt,
is the source of the term draft beer"
But a Belgian or. Percheron stallion
would be insulted by these freaks, and
their exercising trainer has the features
of one Of Stalin's Siberian slaves who
never trained anything more heroic than
Mongolian musk-ox.
If the sculpture was really meant, as
some say, to represent the carpet-bagger
getting back from the South with the
.spoils Of war, or, as others suggest,
Yankee quartermaster bringing in the
horses of the Lee-Custis estate on yonder
hill, it is an abysmal failure. The
Southern people had and still have,
horses with the delicate lines of sum-
mer cloud, the shining beauty of Mis-
sissippi magnolia. the proud carriage Of
q Southern bale. and speed like the
wind, but no draft-horses. And whether
white or colored no Southern stable
boys ever looked like people from Outer
Mongolia.
II this presuming installation Is not
soon removed from the approaches to
the Lee Mansion, I suggest that the
Confederate States of America mount
on the Virginia end Of Highway Bridge
in retaliation figure of a skinny
Yankee mule In tow Of one Of Marse
Roberts veterans, homeward bound, so
that visiting foreigners may find the
two sections thus euphemistically con-
traSted.
Beauregard Jackson Smith.
y
In my opinion, DR.. Marvin's letter
about the gold statues covered the situ-
alton completely. The statues simply do
not fit in with the dignified beauty Of
the Lincoln Memorial and its surround
ings. Can't they be taken away?
M. p.
Emotional, but art-ignorant persons

tiful removed from its original setting,
but the beauty Of Washington is due
to physical characteristics that have
nothing to do with Greek memorials.
Indeed. persons who find such buildings
beautiful are in no position to find fault
with gilded statue. Personally think
the statues do very well where they are
and predict that in few years every
body will be used to them and as happy,
or slap-happy, as most residents are
over most Of the older horrors.
John C. Rogers.
How come so many people are max
ing silly statements and old-maid
objections about those vigorous and
beautiful statues on Memorial Bridge?
Surely they are better than anything
a consensus of artists could arrive at,
artists being what they are today.
If they object to incongruity of mod
ern stuff near other types of art, how
about the hospital at Washington Circle?
BY that reasoning, it is an eyesore.
These people should tend to their
knitting and quit criticizing gift from
friendly foreign government. It isn't
polite.

Letters to The Star

thinking that would end it. When con-
fronted with adverse police publicity,
he told his good wife that he wished the
robber had killed him, instead of having
the police examination. The sad part
of it is that adverse publicity put poten-
tial thieves on notice that the liquor
store would not likely be protected the
following Saturday, on which Sam was
killed.
We should realize that many Ameri-
cans of foreign birth and limited school,
ing do not understand police and other
technical terms. know that there was
and could be no motive, financial or
otherwise, for any alleged "hoax." The
distracted widow has lost not only the
services of devoted husband and good
provider. but those of capable business
man. The couple married in Russia at
about 18 years of age and sought op-
portunity here What an unnecessary
and avoidable death of fine man with
countless friends and no enemies, at
only Sc. In my opinion, the police badly
erred in this case, and the end result
is that both criminals are still at large.

BY THE HASKTN SERVICE.

Q. Was Haym Salomon, who helped
to finance the American Revolution.
ever repaid by the Government for the
money he laid out?-T. S.
A. Most Of the Presidents from WASH
ington down have tried to get Con-
gress to repay Salomon's heirs, so far
without success. The Treasury Depart.
ment has no record of any such pay
ments. Lack of papers and records was
a handicap, and the burning of Wash
ington in 1914 destroyed much of the
evidence. Solomon died bankrupt.
O. How many stamps and how many
albums did President Franklin D.
Roosevelt have in his collection?-J. B.
A. George B. Sloane who appraised
the Roosevelt collection, reported that
the albums were so numerous that he
lost count Of them after they had gone
over a hundred. Mr.. Sloane doubts
If any one knows the exact number. The
President was such lover of stamps
that he took an album with him
wherever he went.
Q. Is wood a living substance?
&C. r. @.
A. In a growing tree only the sapwood
is alive. There is no life in the heart
wood, which constitutes the greater por-
ton of the usuable parts of the tree.
The sapwood is no longer alive after the
tree is cut and the logs or lumber are
dried.

Exonerutes Boroh

In q letter in The Star August %,
william C. LOCKER discussed the SINH
larity of Senator Morse of Oregon and
the late Senator Borah of Idaho, hold
ing that they were almost identical in
their positions on public questions. in
that both were against the majority on
practically all matters. thereby impeding
constructive legislation. Mr.. LOCKER also
said that in all the years he was in Con-
gress, there was never a piece of legis-
lation passed with Senator BorahS
name attached to it.
I think If he will review legislative
history he will come across 46 Statute.
531, list Congress, title of the Perishable
Agricultural Commodities Act, 1880, and
for q number Of years popularity known
as the Borah mandatory licensing bill,
which Senator Borah sponsored and
which became law under his guidance.
Just as an afterthought, I believe
there is great deal of difference in the
characters of Senator Borah and Sena-
tor Morse. Borah was not the kind OF
man who held to the cheap theory that
you shouldn't criticize unless you have a
constructive counter proposal for what
you criticize. There are lots of times
when you are justified in criticizing
something bad for which there is no
necessary substitute. Borah was mid
dle-of -the-roader who endeavored to
keep from becoming either reactionary
or radical, which think is in the sound
American tradition. Senator Morse. ac-
cording to my observation. is Republican
in name, which is extremely helpful in
elections in Oregon, but beyond that is
an outright Labor New Dealer. Maybe
am unjust to Senator Morse, but that
is the impression that he Is creating.

Cuse Of Sam Coopermon

Here are some facts regarding my
friend, the late Sam Cooperman, about
whom The Star carried story July 80.
headed "Co-O Owner Admits Faking Story
of $4,000 Liquor Store Holdup"::
Mr.. Cooperman told his wife that
he had been locked up and robbed of
a few hundred dollars; that the police
questioned him about hours and would
not let him phone her; that he was so
exhausted Che had kidney removed
few years ago) that he feared he would
die if the examination continued few
minutes longer, and that he didn't
know why the police took no finger
prints.
Since 1925 I have been an intimate
friend of this fine family of truly Amer
ican citizens. AS such, Mr.. Cooperman
feared getting mixed up with the law.
He would rather pay an unwarranted
$100 collateral, being both liberal and
very charitable in all ways, than lose
time from business in any extended
court case (even though he was right,

Popular Idea

It is sincerely hoped that both Repub-
lican and Democratic members of the
Senate and House will unanimously sup
port Senator Flanders resolution on
universal disarmament. It is the first

Remington Reversal

1t was with great feeling of pride
once again for the judicial system of
this country that I read of the reversal
of the conviction of William M. Reming-
ton on charges of perjury. The United
States Court of Appeals, it seems to me,
has at last applied the brakes to witch
hunt that had grown to proportions
that shamed the men of Salem.
Mr.. Remington's only crime, to my
meager knowledge. seemed to be that
in his youth he had been, by his own
admission, radical" Go to any COL
lege campus today and look around.
You will find, as I did, hundreds of
such youths. They are not necessarily
dis1llusioned, though many would seem
to be from their conversation. Instead,
like to think of them as testing, even
seeking, for what they are to be spokes-
men. It is tribute to America that in
almost all of these cases, these men
and women go on to graduate and take
their places as what we call good"
American citizens. They have investi-
gated and selected their way of life and
because of that investigation, they are,
in my estimation, more solid citi-
zens than the American who accepts
any doctrine blindly.
During my last year at college, I
heard this sentence repeatedly-"It is
becoming dangerous to be liberal"
The Remington case seems to bear
this out. We must never discourage
free thought; let us not be afraid to
expose our form of government to
examination. 1t will survive, but free4
dom of thought, especially among young
people, must survive also.
