Warning Given On
Magazine Salesman

We are in receipt Of a notice iron
the Better Business Of Detroit, tina
inouiries and complaints that are nov
reaching the bureau, reveal nome
owners once more are being promised
special roofing or siding jsbs at litfl'
or no cost. The salesman states tina
after the work on any unit is complet
ed that the job or jobs will be dis
played as model homes and the own
ers are told by these fast talking sales
men that the commission they Will re
ceiye as 'cut" from resulting sales
will almost, il not entirely, cover the
construction cost.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work Out
this way. Owners who have authorized
the special roofing or siding jobs later
discover that they have signed iron
clad contracts agreeing to pay com
,slratiyely high price, plus interest
These contracts are then sold fmme4
iately to finance companies who In
sist upon being paid. And the pr0mis'
ed commissions fail to materialize.
The something for nothing" appeal
should be viewed with suspicion ano
considered with caution-fOr there Is
almost invariably hook in the propo
sitiOn.
We are also informed by the bureau
that this is "Open season" for holiday
magazine statesmen and saleswOmen
The new approach now is for the sales
man or saleswOman to come to your
house and tell you that one or youa
neighbors. either adjoining or within
the block, has ordered the particular
magazine which they are holding In
their hand, and that they have called
at the purchasers home and found
that they were absent. You are then
asked to accept the books for your
neighbor and pay the purchase price
which usually runs from % cents Tor
one magazine TO Is cents for four mag
azines. After you have gotten In touch
with your neighbOr and inform them
of the favor that you have tried to DO
for them you are, of course, told that
they did not order the books and wne'
Their you wanted them or not you your
self have actually made the purchase
through Misrepresentation.
The Down River Chamber OF Com
merce desires to again warn many OF
the down river residents against ac-
cepting any orders for neighbOrs and
signing any contract without thorough
ly reading it first. Complaints are
again coming into our office constantly
but they usually come after the
signer has parted with his money.
We therefore urge all residents OF
the down river district to call our Of
flee, WyandOtte 59S, before you part
with your money. We maintain files
on many past fakes that have come to
our notice and we can possibly give
you the data you desire at once; If
not we shall have it for you in very
short time.

War department engineers, accord

aid, from the division engineer at
Cleveland, are unfavOrable to a pro-
ject for the improvement OF the De-
trOit river east Of Crosse lie.
The decision says:

sontion adopted December 8, 1887 by
the committee on rivers and harbors
Of the House Of Representatives, has
been made and is unfavOrable in that
NO modification Of the existing pro-
ject Is recommended. The principal
grounds upon which adverse conclusion
Is based are that the desired improve

sanitary conditions east Of Crosse lie,
will not accomplish the results claim
ed with regard to small boat tra1ic,
and the benefits therefrom, which are
chiefly Of q recreational nature and
accrue largely to local interests. are
not sufficient to justify the cost"
Interested parties have the right to
appeal from this decision, to the Board
OF Engineers for Rivers and Harbors,

The above matter has no connection
with the Improvement Of the Detroit

Roadside dizziness

The recent action of the American
Automobile Association proposing
uniform State laws to deal with
roadside ugliness merits the support
of the motoring public.
1t may be recalled that a weekly
pictorial magazine some time ago, in
a review of the u S. Route between
New York and Washington, dubbed
that most heavily travelled highroad
in the country "the supreme honky-
tonk of all time"
Every one who motors is familiar
with the unending kaleidoscope
stream of ugly billboards, gaudy
emporia and ugly spraddling indus
trial development that greets the eye.
The A. A. A. proposes uniform laws
which would create protective
areas" parallel to all major highways
and stretching 1000 feet on either
side of the right of way. Billboards
and signs, business and industrial
structures and other commercial en-
terprises would be limited to certain
designated areas.
The proposal should prove ex-
tremely helpful in the eradication
of the billboard nuisances. But the
backing of the associations member
ship and car drivers and tourists
everywhere is needed if lasting good
along these lines is to be effected.

THANKSGIVING

II ever the American people have
had reason to be thankful to Al
mighty God, the time is now. The
average man or woman must realize
that it is only by the Grace of Provi-
dence that the United States has
been spared the suffering which
other nations have been called upon
to endure. Humanity, single fam
lily, nowhere has deserved the pun
ishment which has been it's lot in
China, Spain, Ethiopia, Germany and
Russia. 1t would be the sheerest
vanity to attempt to explain the
conflicts of races, nations and classes
by blaming the populations of the
afflicted areas.
A blessing, however, may be appre-
ciated, even if instinctively it is felt
to be unmerited. The humble and
contrite heart perhaps is stirred the
deeper when the mind is conscious
of no claim upon Divine Charity.
Such was the attitude of the Pilgrim
pioneers in Massachusetts in 1921;
1t is reflected among thoughtful
Americans today.
Yet the obligation to earn provi-
Dental protection is not affected by
the fact that it never can be entirely
Justified. The soul is endowed with
the impulse to strive toward perfec-

on to say that the Jews were trying to
smash this country even as they tried to
ruin Germany. In just what manner
they ruined Germany or are trying to
ruin the United States he doesn't say
Any statement on that subject would of
necessity be another of Nazi untruths,
on which, however, growing organiza-
ton is founded.
One hundred policemen kept order at
the rally. This fact is significant in it
self. Why should a traitor to everything
that is dear to loyal Americans be given
police protection so that he may spread
his propaganda of race hatred, brutality
and suppression of liberty and Justice?
1t is all very well that our Govern
ment and private citizens protest to
Germany against the horrors Of perse-
cution of defenseless people, but imme-
date steps should be taken to rid our
country OF Nazis and Nazi propaganda.
When our own citizens, leading indus
trialists, give moral and financial sup
port toward the strengthening of the
Nazi hold on the United States it is
time to act. Exile and deportation are
drastic measures, but the present situa-'
ton is an acute one of life or death for
our democracy.
Destroy the bunds before they destroy
us. MARIA HUNT.

Providing Incentive

1t is regrettable that the American
Federation of Labor, appearing be-
fore Senate committee studying
profit-Sharing plans, should have
taken stand opposing merit rating
OF employees, provision by which
employers are given tax concessions
In unemployment compensation laws
In return for employment stability.
For although such provisions may
prove difficult to apply and will, as
claimed by the Federation, add some
what to the administrative costs of
the social security program, they
definitely offer to employers, in the
form of adjustment of compensation
tax rates on basis of labor turn
over, the only material incentive for
Sterilization of employment. At the
same time, safeguards may be con-
tanned in the merit rating provisions
to assure receipt of total tax reve-
nue. sufficient to meet disbursement
needs.
The District law, for instance, pro-
vides that concessions to some en-
ployers be balanced by penalties
upon others to assure the same total
revenue as would be forthcoming
from single rate. The range of
such concessions and penalties is
limited, of course, to prevent the
shifting of too much of the burden
to part of the employer group.
Certainly if operation of this or any
other of the merit rating schemes
results in any important progress to-
ward greater stability in employment,
labor will be the first and greatest
beneficiary.
AS for the Federation's contention
that social security tax credits should
not be allowed in return for funds
disbursed by industry in profit -shar-
ing plans, it will be recalled that
efforts have been made unsuccess-
fully in Congress to obtain consider
alton of granting concessions for
private pension plans. In the con-
templated reopening of the social
security program to legislative scru-
tiny this winter, it is hoped that this
very subject will be given further
and most careful thought.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-11-24

ton. Few, indeed, are those who
deliberately prefer evil to good in
the conduct of their lives. The
masses in each country of the globe
commonly endeavor to avoid offense
to God and their neighbors. In the
United States particularly public
opinion is dedicated to peace and
an honorable prosperity. The found
ing fathers century and half ago
established a pattern of democracy
which the beneficiaries of their wis
dom have had the wit to preserve.
And within that pattern there is no
room for intolerance and inequality,
militarism and partisan resort to
force.
President Roosevelt expressed the
desire of millions when he said: I'm
the time of our fortune it is fitting
that we offer prayers for unfortunate
people in other lands who are in
dire distress at this our Thanksgiv-
ing season."

Townsend Plan Held
Better Than Nothing.

To the Editor OF The Star:
am no expert on the Townsend plan.
AS a greatly beloved American used to
say, "All know about it is what read
in the papers" But want to comment
briefly on recent arguments against the
plan by Mr. Mark Sullivan, eminent
political and economic commentator.
In a recent column he starts out by
calling the plan an idle dream-a dream
of security brought about by insecurity,
a wish fultillment as the psychologists
would have it. The inference. of course,
is that hard-headed reahsts like himself
and his more appreciative readers must
reject it utterly.
He should be careful how he belittles
the potency of dreams. There was a
dreamer once who had the wild idea that
people should have the right to choose
their own rulers. The contemporary
magnificos-the Mr.. SullivanS Of their
day-tossed him into Jail for life, but
his dream has come to pass. There was
another dreamer who thought that men
might worship God as they pleased and
still be good citizens. Him they called
mad, but his dream has come to pass.
And there was the Supreme Dreamer Of
Gallee, whose dream is still the only
hope of bedeviled world.
He then sheds tears for the poor old
people who are being deluded by this
Internal plan. He suggests no alterna-
hundreds of thousands in poorhouses, or
maintaining the breath Of life on scanty
doles. These, he implies, are necessary
casuals of our economic system. Prob
ably it's their own fault anyway, isn't it,
Mr.. Sullivan?
After making these points he raises
his main objection. Who would do the
work of the world? The young people
would simply live off their pension-re-
ceiving elders, and everything would go
to pot.
Now if I were a dealer in epithets, I
would call this double barreled insult.
An insult to our elders, because it as
sumes that if they received the generous
monthly annuity which I understand
the Townsend plan contemplates, they
would be soft-headed enough to main
tain their younger relatives in idleness.
An insult to the young because it as
sumes that they would rather be spong-
ers than to work and be paid therefor.
Without question, unemployment con-
tributes to the support of the Townsend
movement. We unemployed number
ten-odd million, so competent authori-
ties say. We have seen nothing in the
past six years which promises perma-
nent betterment of our condition. Does
Mr.. Sullivan or anybody else think that
we are going to accept our. present status
indefinitely? Does he blame us for
jumping at anything which promises to
make things better? c. c. LANSING.

Suggests Plan for Admitting
Prosecuted German Jews.
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
When God uncovered the land of
America, He gave us precious heritage,
a place where men might have freedom
and refuge from the evils of older lands.
Now that heritage is threatened.
People of other lands are seeking to I'M
dermine American traditions and stand
ards and supine and sycophantic Ameri-
cans are willing to tolerate this interior
ence, to sell our America short.
England will reap the whirlwind she
has sown, first by her liberation if not
approval of the rape of Ethiopia by
Italy, and later by the peace of
Munich
AS for the German Jews! How long
will the world tolerate their brutal tor
ture by mailman and his horde OF
Huns? Civilization is tottering. America
must keep sane-to prevent chaos.
My solution for the Jews would be to
deport million malcontents and receive
in return 10000 Jews. We would be
the gamers, for Jews are good citizens.
Where, or how else, could we get the
genius, the scientific, artistic blood, as
in this way?
Surely Washingtonians remember the
remarkable wills Of the Lansburghs,
Lisners, Garfinckel and Goldenberg.
These are the types of citizens we need
in place of Communists, criminals and
hyphenated Americans.
We, with other civilized countries,
should act before a great race is IRE
trievably crushed and its genius lost to
the world. AMY H. GRAHAM.
