Page eight THE FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON I AN THURSDAY, OCTOBER JT, 1931 WASHINGTON . . . distance Many years ago someone called Washington "the city of magnifi cent distances," and the appellation has stuck. I was again reminded of it last week, when on a trip to the Nation's capital I had to call at a dozen or more Federal offices. Washington is more like the great European cities than any oth er American municipality. Its growth has been horizontal instead of vertical. About the tallest build ing in the city is the National Press Gub, and that is only 13 stories. Most of the Government buildings are under six stories high. It is not at all uncommon to have to travel three or four miles, or farther, to get from one Gov ernment building to another, and in the course of a day around Fed eral offices the visitor has to walk along literally miles of corridors. It occurred to me that one of the reasons why Government busi ness takes so long to transact may be the time and energy wasted in getting from one office to another. Washington is not geared up to speed and efficiency. BEAUTY in marbla Major L'Enfant, the brilliant Frenchman who planned the Fed eral city, conceived it as the most beautiful city in the world. It seems more beautiful every time I visit it and I've known Washing ton since 1881. In another fifty years there will be nothing to com pare with it for beauty. The Supreme Court moved into the most beautiful of all Washing ton buildings, last week. It is built all of white marble. Outside, Ver mont marble, corridors of Alabama marble, interior courts of Georgia marble, floors of Italian, Spanish and African marble. Everything about the building is freshly new and gleaming, except the Justices' chairs. They it in the old, comfortable chairs they are accustomed to. When it was pro posed to buy a new chair for Jus tice Cardozo, he replied that the old chair that was good enough for Justice Holmes for 20 years was, good enough for him. TENANTS .... everywhere In spite of the multitude of Gov ernment buildings, there isn't room for all the new Federal offices. Uncle Sam is the biggest tenant in Washington. After taking all the available office space in town, pub lic offices are spreading out into hotels, apartments and private houses. Some of the "temporary" build ings put up during the World War are still in use by Federal offices. Uncle Sam is Washington's largest taxpayer. He pays half the cost of running the District of Colum bia. In return for the Federal Government's assumption of the tax burden, the people of the District, 60 years ago, gave up their right to vote on local affairs. If they want to vote on state or national questions, they can do so in their old home towns. HOUSING problem I hear a lot about the "housing shortage," but I don't know of any place where it is as acute as in Washington. More than 100,000 new Federal employees have been trying to crowd into the city in the past two years. There just isn't room for them. I heard of one landlord who had 145 applications on file for his next vacancy. Another built a 50-family apartment house and rented every apartment from the plans before the foundations were in ! Rents are down most everywhere else, but not in Washington. One result has been the spilling of population away out into the Maryland suburbs and across the Potomac into the beautiful Vir ginia hills. I met one Federal of ficial who "commutes" to Washing ton every day from his home in Baltimore, forty miles distant. FLAG ....... the slalute I read in the papers the other day that a Boston schoolboy had been disciplined for failing to sa lute the flag. Somehow, I don't feel that compulsion is the best way to instill patriotism. Saluting the flag is no evidence Flaming Temples K ..wsfiaF NEW YORK ... The f lame-pa. das of Cambodian Temples are inter preted into the above colorful faQ hat, a new creation which takes de signers' breath away. . . . It i of' black velvet trimmed with cut out leaves and graced with main colored zinnias. af how anybody really feels. It is a meaningless gesture unless it comes from the heart out. In Germany under Hitler everybody is forced to salute the Nazi em blem, but you can't make me be lieve they all mean it. If I could teach every child what our flag really means the first thing I' would try to make them understand is that it does not stand and never has stood for com pulsion, even compulsion to salute it. If Old Glory means anything, it means to me at least the com pletest liberty of every individual under it to believe and behave as he pleases, so long as he doesn't try to interfere with other people's beliefs and behavior.
