Suggested theme song. Improved morale for the whit wings of the city Is the aim of acting Commissioner of Sanitation Thomas W. Hammond. Commissioner Hammond emphasized his aim today in discussing Devotees of the finer arts of statecraft have never seen such perfect timing and balancing. 1 The Lamont case first developed last June 9, when the Morgan partner publicly testified he sold stock to his wife and bought it back later.

The Mellon case has been hanging fire for more than six months. The Jimmy Walker facts date back to the pre-Roosevelt era when his financial operations were disclosed by the Seabury investigation. Nobody knows when the Sidlo matter originated. Finding it at all was a good job. Mr.

Sidlo Is a well known and respected citizen, but he hardly rates politically or financially with Messrs. Mellon, Lamont and Jimmy Walker. C---CTIVITY The one understandable explanation of how Mr. Sidlo got into such choice company is that he is allied with a chain of liberal newspapers which have been howling for the scalps of yes, Messrs. Mellon, Lamont and Walker.

By GUY HICKOK "Mighty empires only grow out of the clang of swords. The Third Reich as we dream of it from the Flanders coast to the Raab, from Memel to the Adige and the Rhone can also only be born in blood and iron. Ideas and works and armies must march and fight and die before the vast and splendid structure of the 'Third Reich rises from the ground of the Western World." So Ewald Banse, Hitlerite professor of military science, at Brunswick Technical College, introduces his 350-page "Germany Prepares for War" (Harcourt, Brace "Space and Race in World War," the title of the volume as it appeared in Germany, is a more accurate description, though not cal culated perhaps to sell so many copies. Geographical Analysis Professor Banse, a geographer before he became a military authority, analyzes 18 pre-war and seven post-war states with reference to the World War that is past and the one he believes is to come. Though extension of Germany's boundaries is to be the avowed purpose of the future war Banse, by a curious turn of thought which explains much German writing on the last war, calls the means of extending these same frontiers "National Defense." "Defense" in the minds of this school of writers has a meaning unknown to most of the world.

Banse's use of it recalls the propaganda films produced by Nazi Minister of Enlightment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. his plan for complete reorganization of the department, decentralization of power and division of responsibility and by splitting the department into six divisions under six deputy commissioners who have been appointed within the last two weeks. Allyn Chosen The divisions would include: Engineering, under Walter D. Binger, In charge of operation and maintenance of incinerators and disposal systems. Administration under Robert Starr Allyn of Brooklyn, in charge of personnel and complaints, medical service and the department band.

Mr.

Lamont, the Wall Streeter. Mr, Walker, the Democrat (a splendid choice). Mr. Sidlo, the liberal. The only thing which kept It from being perfectly balanced was the failure to include a Socialist and a Communist.

They probably had to be left out because none of them has enough money to pay income taxes. TJIRDIE The timing was even more exquisite. Aside from the fact that the ld cases phenomenally came to fruition simultaneously, the announcement was made Just four days before the next income fax payments were due. And, wonder of wonders, It came on the Sunday which most of (he income taxpayers had set aside to work out their returns. (The Sunday papers have more circulation than the week-dailies.) The psychology of that move will be apparent when the returns are counted after Thursday.

With Messrs. Mellon, Lamont, Walker and lsJ In these the German army, advancing far beyond the frontiers of Germany, In French and Belgian towns whose shell-river architecture was completely un-German, were always "defending" the Fatherland. "The coming war, the great war that will decide the fate of the mil ities," said Commissioner Hammond. German people, will ultimately be fought out deep down in the souls of the belligerent nations," is another ringing sentence of Banse's I am trying to build up a spirit of introduction. Officially Repudiated morale so the men will have some pride that they belong to this organization." He denied that he was contemplating any citywide shakeup in the department and said his chief aim was to divorce the administration of affairs from political influence.

Like Banse's other and smaller volume, "Wehrwissenschaft" (Mili tary Science), this one was offl cially repudiated by the Nazi government when world comment grew Sidlo facing prosecution for not being liberal with their Government, the other few million taxpayers certainly could not afford, to take any chances. A ITRECIATION Only skeptics will suspect that this peculiar political balance and this psychological timing in Mr. Cummings' brilliant swing were Intentional. Politics and psychology have nothing to do with Justice. At least they should not.

It is Just a coincidence, possibly strange and unusual, but, nevertheless, a coincidence. The anti-Administration gang can be expected to interpret it as a put-up job. They may point out that Mr. Cummings has been fully as brilliant in politics as in law. They may resurrect the.

fact that the attorney general was chairman of the Democratic National Committee for five years and an official of every national convention for the last three decades. If they do, his friends can point out that he was State's attorney lor Fairfield County, Connecticut, for ten years.

Though bulkier, the new tome Is not quite as terrifying In its clarity as the earlier "Wehrwissenschaft." In that one the professor abandoned himself to such a whole-souled the Intellectuality of the epoch which sees its It is action To be perfectly fair to Banse, and to -he Nazi chiefs, there is internal ovidence in this volume whin suggests that the book is not quite so offlctel as either its American or British publishers would have us believe. Jn his introduction, written before (his appointment to the new profes.rship of Military Science, Banse "wrote: "He (the author), lives in the hope that the government will pay some attention to what he has to say." This suggests that he had little recognition by the Nazis then.

The time was correct. The pictures appeared in most newspapers next morning alongside Mr. Roosevelt's new air mail instructions to Dern.

EN Quite a social occasion was made of the reconciliation also. The Lindbergh family had lunch with the Dern family. Afterward Dern issued a public statement that he considered Lindbergh as "our foremost authority on aviation questions." Dern also let it be known that he and Lindbergh had not merely talked to each other, but that they had talked "man to man."

Whisky Worked When Derrick Failed The first temporary legal separation in Queens, and possibly in New York State, was granted Mrs. Helen Schwartz of 149 Beach 139th Belle Harbor, yesterday in Supreme Court, Jamaica. Mrs. Schwartz's motion for a permanent separation from her husband, Benjamin, had been denied on the court's theory that the fourth and fifth years of married life are usually the mostdif-ficult.

They formerly lived at 42-30 Union Flushing. Attorneys for the plaintiff and defendant questioned the decision, but the court maintained a temporary separation was sound legally, although unusual. Alimony was fixed at $10 a week and Mrs.

Schwartz received custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter. Commenting on the case, the court said: "The period between tHe third and fifth anniversary is usually the hard one.
