Who was the Congressman
from Mississippi who parked his
car on Twelfth Street during
the rush hour this week, also
parked facing traffic on a one
way street. Doesn't he have any
respect for law and order?
Why should he be granted spe-
cial privilege? After all we are
the taxpayers and we are the
only ones to put a stop to it if
there is way to stop it.
Should we allow our Con-
gressmen to cause injury or
death by traffic violations just
to save a few steps?
Let's instruct our Congress
men that such violations in the
future will not be tolerated and
that they must respect the laws
they make.

Duty to U. S. JObless

You urge that we admit not
only as many German Jews"
as our existing laws will permit,
but that we even amend exist
ing law to admit all that Hitler
wants to run out of Germany
and Austria.
The editorial unwisely argues
the more unemployed we have
and the more dependents we
have the better off we and they
will be. We should not merely
extend such charity to only
German jews" There are also
the oppressed and prosecuted
TrotSkyites in Russia, the perse-
cuted Philippians, the persecut-
ed Spanish Catholics and the
Soon-to-be-persecuted Spanish
Reds, the prosecuted Chinese
Communists, and even the al
legged disposSessed Arabs in Pal
estine.
On the same sentimental, i'm
practical suggestion we should
throw our immigration doors
wide open to the economically
oppressed as well as politically
oppressed and drag our wage
standards down to those of the
Chinese coolie, and our ideals
down to those of Russia.
Our first duty should be to
our own unemployed and per-
secuted, economically and ra-
cially.
