More Consideration
Is Urged For Marines
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
wish to thank your paper for
bringing into the spotlight an I'm,
fair situation in your article OF
May 8, Barefoot Marines"
AS a member of that great Serv'
ice organization, I know of the
conditions that exist there in
regard to personal service clothes
especially shoes and coats. Most
of the enlisted men are working
men, some have families and de-
pendents and when they have to
buy most of their own service
clothes they cannot do so without
great sacrifice.
You stated that the men of the
Fleet Marine Corps Reserve re-
ceive SIG worth of clothes pei
man. I think this a mistake as
you probably did not know all
we get is a summer uniform
which is not complete and we
have to buy our own shoes, socks
cap and jacket for this uniform
I think So per man is more cor
rect.
AS this service is without doubt
an organization of the highest
morale and the best drilled and
best disciplined of all the services
of the United States. I should
think Congress would give us more
consideration.

Sees Conspiracy
To Keep Rents Up

To the Editor of The Times:
In the rental field just as in
every other business, the price OF
what is offered is determined by
the old law of supply and demand,
And this is just as true in Wash
ington as it is in any urban cen
ter of the country.
And before any relief can be OBJ
tanned by tenants who are being
forced to pay exorbitant rents,
there must be an increase in liv'
| ing quarters here. Can it be that
contractors and building operators
do not realize that by offering
suitable quarters at fair rentals
more than enough business would
come their way? Or is there a
conspiracy between property own
ers to stifle new developments in
order that high prices may be
maintained.
I'm inclined to believe that the
latter holds true here. It seems
impossible that local and out OF
town building men could be un'
acquainted with the situation in
Washington. There must be some
reason why large scale, low rent
apartment projects are not being
constructed. .r
Building permits have increased
yes, but for one and two family

Wants to Improve
Humans Lot

To the Editor of The Times:
Recent press reports state that
the authorities are inviting sug-
geStions as to the best means Of
disposing of the bequeSt Justice
Holmes made to the Government,
to be used as it sees fit.
1t appears that the lawyers are
very busy endeavoring to monopo-
lie. I enclose a copy of a plan
and hope that you will give it
publicity. The idea sought to be
put over is far superior to the
selfish ones proposed, in that it
stands for the principle that such
awards should not be restricted to
a class, but open to all those Of
the mass who have done some real
service to humans along the line
of dissenting. This would be
HolmeseSque, for, the Justice was
far less disturbed about keeping
his name and fame alive than he
was concerned about improving
the lot of all us humans.
The very fact that he requested
the Government to attend to the
matter indicates that he did not
even care to have his name con.
nected with it. j. H. M.

Objects to
Red Denominations
To the Editor of The Times,

To the Editor of The Times:
I was greatly shocked to learn
that the police had given the
Communist party the right to hold
meetings on May Day in the pub
lie parks
While the right of freedom of
speech and thought should be al
lowed, I feel that this freedom
should not be granted to any
group or movement which has as
a basis the overthrow of our Gov
eminent.
America for the Americans, I
believe, and for those who love
and cherish the aims, ideals and
traditions of our country. Those
who do not like it should get out.
Liberty and tolerance are the
foundation of our nation. And
communism, which has no free
dom, no tolerance, has no place
here.
Let us hope that the next time
the Communists apply for a per-
init to stage a demonstration
it will be refused. c. P. E.
