The Ruilroud Dispute

An actual shutdown of railroad
operations still is a remote contin-
gency, despite the fact that the four
teen incorporating rail unions and
Big Five operating unions have set
September II and Is as strike dates,
respectively.
Now that both groups have an
nounced their zero hours" for quit
ing work, the President, under normal
procedure, will appoint an emer-
,gency commission to investigate the
dispute and make recommendations
within thirty days. Then another
thirty days must elapse before a
strike can start, and it is contem-
plated that pressure of public opinion
will force acceptance of the recon-
mendationS during this period.
The wage increases demanded by
the unions are said to total about
$900,0OO,0OO annually This is ap-
proximately the amount the class
one lines expect to show this year
for net operating income-that is,
after the payment of operating ex-
penses and taxes, but before interest,
rentals and other fixed charges are
paid.
This. on it's face, seems to demon
strate the unreasonableness of the
unions demands. Furthermore, the
unions are said to have insisted that
the increases be granted in full on a
permanent basis, refusing to accept
any counteroffers for meeting the
demands part way on a contingent
earnings basis. This is an attitude
which is open to serious question at
a time when the railroads, after q

Trucking Strike

1t is gratifying that Chairman
Randolph has decided to take the
initiative in seeking settlement of
the trucking strike which already
has resulted in complete stoppage
of railroad freight into Washington.
This is strike which, if protracted,
can be expected to cause serious in
convenience, and perhaps real hard
ship, in the National Capital. Since
the public interest is so directly in
volved, it might be expected that the
disputants would make extraordinary
efforts to reach an agreement, but
that, unfortunately, does not seem
to be the case. Certainly, when
there is so little difference between
the demands of the union and the
concessions which the employers
have indicated they are willing to
make, there seems to be no real
justification for a prolongation Of
this tie-up.
As Mr.. Randolph pointed out, it is
unusual for members of Congress to
intervene directly in labor dispute,
but in view of the circumstances
prevailing in this case and the i'm
portance to the community of effect
ing a settlement, it is to be hoped
that Senator. McCarran will join with
the House chairman, and that the
two Will be able to bring the nego-
tiators to terms.

Safety Engineering

Included in the budget recommen-
dations for the Highway Department
are two comparatively small items
which are of great Importance to the
safety of Washington's pedestrians
and motorists. One of these seeks
creation of fifteen new positions in
the engineers staff, a move that
would bring the engineering force up
to par with those of cities of similar
size. The other item provides for
installation of signal lights at twenty
four intersections.
Last year, when for the first time
In a decade accurate population fig
ures were available, study of COM
parative data on traffic work in the
larger cities was made by the Ma
tional Safety Council. This disclosed
that the National Capital is seriously
handicapped by insufficient person.
mel and appropriations to carry out
a thorough safety engineering pro-
gram. The council urged an i'm
provement in this phase of life pro-
lection as the most pressing need in
the campaign to make the city's
streets less dangerous.
Current appropriations for more
traffic lights represent half the $50
900 originally requested, at which
time 100 intersections we're found to

period of acute financial distress, are
enjoying a measure of recovery at
tri6utable to the emergency demands
of the defense program.
There also remain the facts that
large part of the railroad mileage Of
the country continues in receivership
and that fewer than a third of the
major systems are able to make any
payments to stockholders. Under
these conditions, it seems clear that
the demands made upon the roads
are excessive. 1t Is to be hoped
that the President, in choosing his
emergency commission, will select as
members only men who know the
problems of the railroad industry,
whose regulations are such as to
inspire public confidence and who
will not hesitate to make recon-
mendations squarely grounded on
the facts of the case.

be sufficiently congested and danger
Gus to justify such installations. The
number has been increased to lis at
present and in many cases the need
is imperative.
These recommendations represent
a need which cannot be overlooked II
Washington is to cope with a safety
problem which was tragically serious
even before the present emergency
brought its throngs of newcomers to
the Capital. If the campaign to end
death on the city's streets Is to sue
ceed, corrective engineering must be
allowed to keep pace with educa-
tional and enforcement efforts.

the Star Spangled Banner and a close
friend and admirer of Andrew jackson
while Old Hickory was President of the
United States.
Surprise No. 2 Is that the series of
letters contain many which start cat in
this manner: TT has been called to my
attention that a proposal" etc Who
called it to their attention? I am sure
the letters advocating the removal of
Jackson's statue, and the substitution
therefore of Washingtons statue, are
all sincere and honest, yet wonder if it
is possible that some society or organiza-
ton is back of the letters.
In any case. permit me to say that the
proposal Is shocking. Jackson is getting
the short end of this fame business in
Washington. Washington Lincoln and
Jefferson are well taken care of. The
city itself is named after Washington
The name is on the lips of a hundred
million Americans almost every day in
the year. 1t is scattered in thousands of
newspapers. 1t is repeated over the
radio every 80 minutes sometimes every
Is minutes Then there is the Washing
ton Monument, famed all over the earth.
Must we carry more Goals to Newcastle
by adding another Washington Monu-
ment in front of the White House and
change Sixteenth street to Washington
boulevard?
No, we have done well by Washington,
Lincoln and Jefferson. Let us, beg of
you, not remove Jackson from the one
and only post of honor he has in the
capital. Let us never stoop to any act
so shocking and disgrsceful.
Jackson was, in a sense, the greatest
of Presidents. He championed the great
masses of the people against powerful
and selfish interests. He set an example
that has been an inspiration to millions
of our fellow citizens.
Let us see that he retains his little
place of honor. No shrine or temple in
the Capital is his. No vast memorial
draws thousands of tourists A great
President-his monument is humble
one.
Let us instead rename Sixteenth street
Jackson boulevard Then we would
truly be doing that justice by him which
We have already done to the memories
Of Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson.
Let us, as good Americans, be fair to
Old Hickory!

Denies Complaint
OF Loss of Freedom.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May I discuss a letter by Edmund K
Goldsborough captioned Comments on
Denial of Rights to Speak Freely? Mr..
Goldsborough complains that Charles
A. Lindbergh has been denied the right
of free speech in various parts of this
country"
Mr. Lindbergh has been denied moth
ing. He has freedom of speech and all
other freedoms which we Americans still
enjoy The trouble with him is that he
is trying to sell us bill of goods which
is so motheaten that even the moths are
losing interest in it. He has sold it to
himself and he is now selling himself
the idea that the world is bound to come
to bad end because it won't buy.
1t seems to me that Mr.. Goldsborough
makes sentimental and illogical defense
of his friend. He starts out with his
conclusion already selected and chooses
facts and near-facts to give it build-up
instead of assembling all of the facts
and reaching the truth by the proper ar
rangement of those facts.
Mr.. Lindbergh has had absolute free
dom of speech. He has been permitted
to prognosticate the future far and wide
over the radio and in the public press
and I must say that the bottoms have
dropped out of some of his assurances
in less time than it takes to tell it.
Because in certain places he was not
allowed to hold forth in the particular
hall of his choice has nothing to do with
Mr. Lindberghs freedom of speech.
Mr.. Goldsborough quotes Voltaire as
saying: II disapprove of everything you
say but shall defend to the death your
right to say it,"
I doubt that Vpltaire was capable of
the use Of so inane a word as dis
approve" AS recall it. Voltaire wrote:
II abhor what you say but will defend
to the death your right to say it." He
was a person of positive and superlative
thoughts and statements
Recently I had the privilege of visiting
a courtroom in county seat of nearby
State. The court was not in session.
Opposite the jury box with its II empty
seats was hanging life-siz6d portrait,
painted by Peale, of William Pitt Earl
of Chatham, English parliamentarian,
friend of the American colonists, who
pleaded for English justice for them in
defiance of the arbitrary DEGREES of King
George III.
I would like to have every person who
thinks that he believes in totalitarian
rule visit that room and realize that
trial by jury is one of the first things
to be forbidden under that system I
believe that Mr.. Lindbergh and all other
Americans have more freedoms than
they have sense enough to comprehend
and appreciate, Mr.. Goldsborough not
withstanding.

Dear Sir:
Your articles on the mantis are par
ticularly interesting to one who a couple
of summers ago had occasion to do a
little personal observation on Mr.. Mantis
Religiosa, or as a boy we used to call
him the devils walking stick
I'VE had made a nice large screen
wire box to hold various insects to see
what they did, and our family included
among others some very fine singing
crickets In catching crickets, be sure
and get the male cricket If you want to
hear him sing. The female is no song
bird.
well, we had caught one extra fine
specimen of q woods cricket, black and
plenty lively. He took to his new home
without an apparent thought of his new
surroundings, and chose the interior OF
an empty 1-cent match box shell as his
particular home, and it wasn't long be-
fore he was singing away with all the
power Of the edges of his outside wings.
There seemed to be four wings, and
Mr.. Cricket gets set, head down. and
seems to cup his wings into sort OF
megaphone shape, tail up, and starts
scraping away.
Our big cricket would lead the con-
cert, and what fine music, each at a
different pitch!
When we did put old Brother Mantis
in the cage, he paid indifferent atten-
ton to his new surroundings, just perch
ing on the screen, quiet, yet alert, with
his little three-cornered head turning
from side to side occasionally.
His great front feet and strong fore
arms were folded mot crossed In g
curious prayerlike pose which gave him
his name.
'The early Greeks called a prophet

the prophets. So they called this curl

I'VE left our insect cage with its new
inhabitant for the night, and early next
morning had look. The leader of our

seen. He couldn't have gotten out He

there was to it.

One must be very careful, indeed, in
mixing tEeir insectsl
Our correspondent says nothing at all
about making any provision for feeding
any of his guests, so it was no wonder
that the mantis helped himself.
Crickets may be fed on mashed banana
and apple pulp, and also bit of scraped
beef.
We imagine that cottage cheese would
be liked by many insects.
1t is essential, before starting this sort
of terrarium, to find out what the vari-
Gus insects to be included will eat.
Children often make insects captive,
but condemn them to an early death
because they never think of the food

Children and even adults capture frog
eggs, to keep in a bowl. believing that

eat in the pond water in which they very
carefully bring them home
There might be enough practically in
visible pond animalcules to feed a few
tadpoles for few days. but certainly
not enough to last the swarm of wig
glers which hatch.
Some persons seem to have the idea
that even goldfish can live on nothing
at all, provided they have pond water
Nothing could be further from the truth.

The mantis is great eater. Records
show that one mantis has eaten three
grasshoppers, a daddy-long legs, and

The walking sticks, odd summer in

no doubt are mistaken by some observers
for the larger insect.

bodies, six legs, with two long feelers,

old nurse tale was that they would

variation of the japanese tale of the

World Leadership

n UCLWCcll
''interventioniSts" and 'isolationists"
may be summarized in the statement
that the two groups are at variance
as to the position of the United
States in the world.
In support of the "interventionist"
philosophy, President John Stewart
Bryan of the College of william and
Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia, has
announced the results of an i'm
portant essay contest conducted by
the Institute for National Policy last
fall. A committee of three students
and one faculty adviser representing
Washington and Lee University,
Lexington, Virginia, has been given
the first of three national prizes.
Similarly, cooperating pupils and
teachers at Dartmouth College, Han
over, New Hampshire, and Ursinus
College, Collegeville, Pennsylvania,
are to receive second and third
awards in the same amount-S450
each, the funds having been pro-
vided by an unknown benefactor.
DR.. Bryan's comment on the fruits
of the competition is worthy Of at
tention in circles not academic.
Leaders at IA institutions" he says,
"collaborated to produce composite
study of Americas position in the
world. The overwhelming
majority of the essays argued that
America is entering period in which
she will have heavy responsibility
for leaderShip-a responsibility which
is not so much the product of our
choice as the inevitable consequence
of our geographic location, our social
development and our wealth of re-
sources. The essays are clarion call
to the young men and women Of
America to take the initiative in
making not merely better America
but better world"
In the judgment of the Washington
and Lee writers, "the impossibility
of maintaining a position of isola-
ton" is manifest. They urge "a firm
United States policy in the Far East
and - a strong type Of world
organization" after the close Of the
present conflict. Victory. order and
justice" the top prize winners insist,
"are the measure of (America's) re-
sponsibility to the civilization of
which she is heir"
With equal confidence, the authors
of the Dartmouth essay contend that
"our defense must start in Europe"
and I'VE must make democracy vital
and positive enough to combat the
explosive policy of fascism." The
Ursinus participants in the SYM
postum want American leadership
in world economic reconstruction"
and declare that "a nation which
has grown from fringe Of small
provinces upon the Atlantic to in
clude the great middle belt Of an
entire continent can no longer find
the answers to its problems in a
narrow insularity"
Forty years ago the fathers of the
young publicists whose endeavors
DR.. Bryan commends were puzzled
by the demands upon the United
States accruing from the war with
SPAIN Whether or not America
should attempt imperialism" was
hotly debated from Manila Bay to
Serajevo. Meanwhile, destiny
which embraced both intervention
and isolation" continued to develop.
So may it be tomorrow. American
youth seems to be ready to meet the
requirements of any fate.
