Labor Radicals

y Action of the Congress OF In
dustrial Organizations in finally
adopting a resolution condemning
Communism and other alien "isms"
marks a more or less successful
elimination of an effort which has
been productive of bitter conflict
within the c. I. o. for several years.
In the past advocates of similar
resolutions have been denounced as
cred baiters" and witch hunters" !"
but the delegates to the c. I. o. con-
vention approved the proposal sub
.mitted to them yesterday without
debate and with only a scattering of
dissenting votes.
The resolution, offered by Thomas
Kennedy, secretary Of the United
Mine Workers, is broad in its Ian
gnage, applying indiscriminately to
Communists, Nazis and FasciSts, but
it remains to be seen whether it will
have any appreciable effect in curb
ing the activities of left wing ele-
r.ients of the c. I. o. There are at
least two factors which suggest that
the contrary will be the case.

Natural Cos Use

Care1ul consideration certainty
should be given by the Public
Utilities Commission to the compre-
hensive but as yet conflicting data
and arguments on the proposal that
natural gas be used exclusively by the
gas company as a substitute for its
present mixed fuel product. The
commission has planned a public
hearing.
Natural gas now comes to the COM
pany from fields in West Virginia
and Kentucky. Under the new plan,
while natural gas would replace the
manufactured variety completely,
present manufacturing plants would
be retained for standby use. A con-
sulting engineer, highly regarded by
the commission, who made a ten
month survey for the commission,
urges the conversion plan, suggest
ing that rates for house heating GUS
toners could be reduced at once by
forty per cent, at saving of some
$745,000 the first year. He predicts
increased savings as natural gas
rates later are extended to all
customers, to an ultimate G. 81 $780,
600 by 1850. Company officials ques-
ton many of the findings of the
commissions agent and doubt the
wisdom and safety of his program.
The company claims the cost of
the conversion would be $3,620,000,
whereas the commissions consultant
places the cost at some $618,0O0.
Points at issue include: Whether
available gas fields in the two States
have capacity assuring an adequate
supply; whether additional gas fields
might be tapped; how much incon-
venience would be caused Washing
ton consumers by necessary adjust
ments to present appliances; whether
there would be any major upset in
employment conditions and whether
the present pipe lines are sufficient in
size and strength to stand the pres
sure needed to bring a sufficient
supply here.
Washington would not be the first
large city to adopt natural gas. The
company asserts that if the United
States went to war, industrial centers
might monopolize natural gas sup
plies. The commissions adviser con-
tends there is sufficient reserve
supply.
Great prospective savings are sug-
gested for Washington consumers.
The company states, on the other
hand, that its present rates are the
lowest on the Atlantic seaboard. The
prospect of savings is, of course,
highly important to consumers, but
all other factors should be studied
before final decision is reached. The
public should be given ample oppor-
tunity to express its views at the
hearing and the public welfare
of course, should be the primary
consideration in weighing all aspects
of the question.

Deplores Writer'S Comment
On Late Herman Oliphant.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Not even in death is there rest for Her
man Ohphant, the late General Coun-
sci of the Treasury Department. The
latest attack on his memorable achieve
ments for the commonwealth Is found
in the recently published book, The
Bankers be Damned" by U. v. Wilcox,
veteran Washington correspondent for
the American Banker" Because the
book has been given widespread distri-
button throughout the country feel
it my duty to point out to the reading
public that its implication about Oil
plants work in the New Deal are en-
tirely without foundation.
This is not to say that Mr.. Wilcox,
on the whole, has not done good piece
of work. 'The Bankers be Damned" is,
in fact, a valuable contribution to an
insight into the New Deaf fiscal policies,
but Mr.. Wilcox has fallen into the same
errors as those Of many Of his colleagues.
He has, by implication only. to be sure,
painted Oliphant as the scheming Mach
iaveln Of the New Deal plan who ran
over to the White House every other
day with . crackpot idea designed 70

Advice to Gourmets

No group of people in the world
remains unaffected by the war in
Europe. One of the latest victims of
its havoc is the New Jersey Gourmet
Society, whose members are no
longer able to obtain de luxe victuals
from conquered France. In place of
sole frite a la Madelon aux pommes
de terres Parisienne, they have had
to put up with plebeian American
dishes. There was no bouillabaisse
Marseillaise au Brillat-Savarin on the
menu at their first anniversary ban
quet; instead, it listed such rude fare
as Pennsylvania potatoes, New Jersey
cucumbers and Missouri caribou.
These they ate in sadness.
The New Jersey Gourmet Society
is urged to save at least one dry
corner Of their crying towel for
France, one time gourmand capital
Of the world. If it makes the society
feel any better, France is now full of
gourmets who would willingly trade,
sight unseen, with New Jersey.
Turnips, Vichy style, and potato
peelings la Hitler, with an ounce Of
oleomargarine once month, no
longer constitute their idea of
luxury diet.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. Traceuell.

bread.
Just where he gets 1t is impossible to
find out, but he brings 1t to the same
| place each morning.
Then he strips of the paper, and de-
YOURS the loaf slice by slice.
An entire loaf of bread cannot be said
to be the best sort of food for dog, but
you might think 1t would be enough.
Nothing Of the kind
Pat looks around for more, and If sal

as put out for the household cat, he will
drink the milk and then run away with
the dish of salmon.
So
If interrupted while drinking the milk
he will seize the saucer, which is rather
deep, by the near edge, with the saucer
protruding before him.
He is able to take this beneath the
gate without losing it. Once he gets il
| at distance he stops to lap up the milk
consuming it all before any one car
reach him.
This sort of thing is natural with dogs
1t shows no sort of canine depravity, nor
| that the animal is well fed or poorly fed
Dogs have enormous appetites. No
doubt some of them are born hogs. They
eat so quickly that it takes a great deal
to satisfy them, for they must have
some idea of the satisfaction of action
| in eating Mankind carries this to an
| extreme, making some dinners and BAN
quets last for hours.
Although dogs eat greedily, swallowing
their food as quickly as possible. no
doubt they, too, realize something of the
| nicely of dragging out good meal. That
is why, we believe, they are not always
satisfied with what they get at home.
In some of them, no doubt, the thiev-
ing instinct is more developed than in
others. Our friend Freckles is extremely
clever and quick in his depredations.
He can take bag of meat of the top
of a basket of food, left on the back
| porch for few minutes, SO easily and
quickly that unless you see him do II
you would have no idea dog was within
a mile.
Sometimes he makes mistakes, how.
ever, as that time he ran away with 9
bag of bananas.
He was busily tearing the bag apart
when caught. One good snin told him
that these queer looking objects were
not good dog food. Accordingly, he pre-
tended that he had never seen the bag
and ran up with the most wagging o1
tails.
The time he seized the family evenine
meat, and made away with it, he knew
he had the right bag from the very start
As he rounded his own house, hi
found himself confronted on one side BY
an irate grocer boy. and on the othe,
by the mistress of the house from which
he had stolen the food.
Always a gentleman, Freckles ran ur
to her, and graciously placed the bag oi
meat at her feet.
There was no doubt that he felt he was

Russiu in Asiu

Evidence accumulates that major
phase of the present world war may
yet be fought in that part of Asia
which lies between Turkey on the
west and China on the east. Not only
has the axis vowed to break the Brit
ish Empire-of which India is vital
portion - but circumstances point
more and more to a Russian push
through Iran and Afghanistan to the
Indian Ocean.
What Russia has renounced and
what Russia has received in the Ber-
lin conversations between Premier
Molotoff and Adolf Hitler are not yet
known, but Russia's implied recog-
milton of Germany's protectorate Of
Slovakia by publication of the terms
of the German-Slovak treaty OF 1898
suggests that Stain has gone further
to give the Reich a free hand in
Europe. In the Far East the di-
version of Japan's energies toward
the south-the Indies, Siam and Brit
ish Malaya-tend to free Russia from
apprehension of trouble along the
Manchukuo- Siberian border.
The consequence of these develop
ments is to encourage Russian ex-
pansion elsewhere. Aside from what
may have been reported as the sub
stance of the Berlin agreement, Rus
sia has an increasingly important in
terest in Central Asia and an outlet
to the sea for the four Soviet re-
publics which formerly composed
Turkestan-the Turkomen, Uzbek,
Tadzhik and KAYAK republics.
This interest is fundamental, for
over a long period of time Soviet
Russia has given increasing atten-
tion to the industrial development
of it's Central Asiatic areas. Russia's
industrial center of gravity is shift
ing from Europe to Asia. The newly
developed areas, remote as they are
from both European and Far Eastern
outlets, sometime in the future will
require easy access to the markets
of the world. AS long as Russia's
problem is one of underproduction
such an outlet will not be needed.
But when the Soviet achieves even a
moderate satisfaction Of the wants
Of her tens Of millions she will look
for foreign outlets, and highly In

Householders who miss bottles Of milk
as well as loaves Of bread from their

dogs.
These friends of man are not above
stealing his food, and this whether they
are well fed at home or not.
Only an occasional dog, here and
there, is this sort of thief
Usually the deed is done in the dawn.
Such animals make regular rounds for

Pat is one of the most capable Of
canine thieves. He is long, lean Irish
setter, rather darker than the usual run.
There can be little question that he
gets enough to eat home. He simply
likes to have some more. His leanness
comes about, in all probability, because
Of his incessant activity.
There is no telling just how many
miles day such dog runs. Probably
100 would err on the side of conservatism
Most dogs in suburban communities
build up for themselves regular routes.
Just how they determine which yard
to go into and which to pass up there is
no way of telling. The fact is that dogs
often go in small bands on these regular
rounds. Usually the bands are not more
than three or four dogs, which meet each
other every morning for the usual run.

Down streets, across sidewalks, into
gates, across yards they go, indulging In

Thieving is seldom done on these expe-

velops into thief. Mostly he likes the
cover of darkness, or early light. The
latter is perhaps the favorite time. The
food is fresh, just left on the step, and
the chance of being caught is negligible.
Pat is an expert. He can run under a

Offers Advice
To Republicans.

To the Editor Of The Star:

Lawrence. He gives one the impression
that the two gravest problems in the
Nation today are: Cd What shall the
name and scope of the Willkie Clubs be
hereafter? CD What part shall Mr..
Willkie play in the organization?
I would suggest as a member of an
old Republican family that the old-line
American Republicans in this country
stand four square and cooperate with
the President in this time of grave
crisis. Stand behind those men of the
Republican party on whom the Presi-
dent has called to give of their valuable
experience In the cause of national de-
fense.
I would suggest that the Republican
party wake up, roll up its sleeves and
forget about water over the dam" Then
and then only will they become the ma
jority party, and be worthy of the old
name &C. o. P."-Grand Old Party.

Opposes Modification
OF Horn Regulation.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The suggestion by a District official
that the rule forbidding sounding of
automobile horns between midnight and
am. is unreasonable, itself deserves
that comment from the officials own
argument that the regulation is already
covered by broader one banning horn
sounding except as a warning of i'm
minent danger, the enforcement of
which he advises.
Further, any relaxation is likely to
encourage horn tooters, one of the worst
elements Of Washipgton's sufficiently in
volved traffic complex. Use of the horn
here has relation to imminent danger in
not one instance out of thousand. AS
very general rule, it is only manifes-
tation Of impatience or inconsiderate-
ness. Motorists must learn to allow
plenty of time for their trips, make no
appointments that require rushing, and
in general, take it easier. Formerly
even pedestrians ran to catch street.
cars, climbed on them when in motion,
and did other things they cannot now
do without risk of injury or death.
Growth in traffic has similarly caught
up with the automobilist, who can no
longer rush wherever he pleaSes. Those
who can not endure restraint had better
take to the air, although even that soon
may be crowded.
The motorist with any consideration
for his fellow men, whether in or out Of
cars, will not attempt to blast his way
through traffic by horn footing. Worst
Of all who attempt this is the driver
who, instead of having his car under
control, sails along, trusting to a warn
ing honk to clear each intersection for
him. When he does this in the latter
half of the night, he may waken a score
Of people at each blast and in footing
dash across the city may disturb the
rest of hundreds. 1t Is difficult enough
to get sufficient sleep in the city and
many when awakened find it hard to
get back to sleep. Comfort for the
many is certainly superior considera-
ton to license for the few. The Sleep
destroying motorist is an undesirable
citizen and, with all due respect to the
District official referred to, should be
eliminated. w. L. McATEE.

FOREIGN Agents

mittee provides additional data on
the intensive and widespread efforts
which are being made to "blitzkrieg"
America with Nazi propaganda. Ac-
tivities of the American
Bund have been properly exposed,
but until the issuance of the COM
nittee's so-called white paper"
there was but meager evidence tend
ing to link the propagandists directly
with Berlin. The documents exposed
in the new report, if credited at full
face value, leave little doubt that
Hitler, Goebbels and company are
following, with brazen effrontery, the
patterns of economic and cultural"
propagandizing outlined in "Mein
Kampf" and explained in more detail
by Hermann Rauschning in his Voice
of Destruction" While the report
does not charge espionage or sabo-
tage to those named, 1t does accuse
Germany's accredited representa-
tives in this country of collaboration
in, if not actual direction of, the
propaganda drive.
Most of the activities complained
of in the report seem to have been
within the law, if outside the realm
of diplomatic usage and ethics. One
organization mentioned prominently,
the TranSocean News Service, already
is being investigated by a Federal
grand jury, which desires to ascer-
tain if the agency or its head, DR..
Manfred zapp. has violated the
law governing registration of for
eign agents. The committee pointed
out that it's evidence is mot all
conclusive because the inyestiga-
ton was conducted ''in a collateral
fashion" Some of the matters dis
cussed in the report previously have
been under scrutiny of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the
whole report now is before that
bureau.
1t reflects no discredit on the
F. B. I. to say that some of its
counter-espionage work is being done
'in collateral fashion," too. This
Is because the G-men, for many
months, have been prohibited
through Supreme Court interpreta-
tion of the overlapping clause Of
the Federal Communications Act
from tapping the wires of spies, sus-
pected saboteurs or other alien con-
spirators. A bill to remedy this
absurd and highly dangerous defect
in our counter-eSpionage system has
been passed by the House, but has
lain dormant for months in a pigeon
hole of the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce. Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler, chairman of this
committee, is an avowed opponent
of wire-tapping in any form or for
any purpose. If it is Senator Wheeler
who is blocking action on the coun-
ter-eSpionage wire-tapping bill, he is
not only assuming grave RESPONSE
bility in connection with a perilous
phase OF national security, but is
opposing the will of the House, the
recommendation of Attorney Cen
eral Jackson and the sentiments
expressed yesterday before another
Senate committee by a New York
district attorneys representative,
who testified to the value of wire
tapping in racket smashing. 1t is
