T was inst another fare-another 20 cents-for the

struggling desperately against great odds for liveli
hood in Washington.
He typical, believe, because, like other cab

police harass him; motorists curse him; fares cheat
him; holdup rob him; drunks abuse

The man who walked up to the home of Mary Jane

to his cab and when he reached the hospital he took
the child in his arms again.
The cab driver didn't know that little Mary Jane

know that she going to die before the next sun
rise. He didn't know that he exposing himself
to death in picking her up.

Clear Decks of Reds

If the United States Merchant
Marine is to assume the proper.
tions envisoned by its author,
Senator Royal C. Copeland, pro-
mulgated in a previous session
Of Congress, a sweeping in
vestigation into this branch Of
our auxiliary first line Of ma
tional defense must of necessity
be launched Immediately, other
wise the best laid plans will go
awry.
Charges of a startling nature
were disclosed at the hearing on
Capitol Hill when President j.
P. Ryan, head of the Interna'
tional Longshoremen's ASSocia-
tion, revealed that American
seamen are being displaced by
Communists on government
subsidized vessels.
If these disclosures are fac
tual and duly substantiated,
then it is certainly high time
the parties responsible for the
tolerance Of such acts Of defile-
ment be made to walk" the
gangplank.
NOT UNION ISSUE

winked into believing that the
statements issued during the
congressional hearings are the

sues between CIO and AFL
units, but rather the portrayal
of the truth as it's exists.
Assuming they are true.
We wonder what would be the
plight of our Merchant Marine
if similar acts Of disloyalty are
countenanced. Even the most
liberal minded individual must
admit that the uprising aboard
the Algic while in a foreign port
was contrary to the accepted
code governing the conduct
Of seamen on the high seas.
Then, too, the incidents result
ing when the President Hoover
was beached in Far Eastern
waters, certainly serves as an
indictment Of merchant marine
crews.
It is difficult to appreciate
such conditions existing during
a national emergency lest per-
haps it would border along
the following lines. An Ameri.
can merchant ship would leave
our shores flying the Stars and
Stripes. Reaching the 12-mile
limit, the crew would demand
of the skipper to surrender his
command; they in turn would
haul down our national EN-.
blem and run up the Hammer
and Sickle standards.
NAVAL TRADITIONS
Americans might well express
a prayer of thanks to Providence
that such an unholy state
does not prevail in the main
stem Of our great naval service.

For instance, NO woman will

man ever remembers where he
