The Value of the Vote

Senator Pat McCarran Of Nevada
asked a witness testifying on the
national representation resolution:
What do you lose by not having a
vote?"
The answer to such a challenge,
of course, is obvious. A citizen denied
the privilege of participating in a
national election is only nominally
an American. He is shut out from
his place in the community just as
an alien, a lunatic or a criminal
might be barred. The essential ira
dition of civilization in the United
States is violated when the right to
share in the direction of public policy
and the choice of public servants is
Withdrawn through no fault of the
disfranchised. Under the social COM
pact which is the basic principle OF
the Federal Republic, "all men .
are equal" The elementary philoso-
ply involved is set forth in many
charters to the effect that "it is the
duty of the people " to provide
for an equitable mode of making
laws as we'll as for an impartial in
depreciation and faithful execution
Of them, that every man may at all
times find his security in them
No doubt of the validity of the
doctrine so set forth ever has been
raised. The more remarkable, then,
Is the circumstance whereby the resi-
dents of Washington are prevented
from cooperating with their neigh
bors, friends and kindred in the use
OF the ballot. Their injury is not
the less painful because it is suffered
by their spirit. To be forbidden their
natural fellowship with other Amer
leans is a discrimination the sting of
which they cannot help but feel.
From the dawn of history and
through centuries of struggle for the
integrity Of the human soul, they
have inherited their claim to the
same freedom which their country
men enjoy. Not guilty of any sin
against the common veal, not remiss
In meeting the requirements Of
patriotism and not hesitant in re-
spending to every legitimate demand
Of existence under their honored and
beloved flag. they are alleged to
have committed no fault unless it
be that of making their homes in
the shadow of the meeting place Of
the National Legislature which is
the living expression of the right of
the governed to take part In their
government.
Senator McCarran, himself elected
by the votes of a free constituency,
surely will grant that any person
arbitrarily barred from the polling
place is robbed thereby of an aspect
Of his personality which he cannot
afford to surrender without protest.

OmeIet, La La

The egg in its quiet way has served
mankind for centuries, and in its
time played many parts, as Shake
speare puts 1t. Primarily, it is food,
beginning from the time when pre-
historic man stole it from some wild
nest and gulped 1t down, shell and
all, and continuing to the present,
where 1t may be obtained for a dol
lar and half at swank hotels under
some such alias as oeufs de poulettes
Barbasol aux chignons, or in France
where it is even more coveted and
unobtainable at any price.
But besides its nutritive value
which reached a climax when it be-
came the junior partner in that ia
nous combine, ham and eggs, it has
had other important functions.
among which may be mentioned its
employment in the metaphor "lay-
ing an egg," and its more concrete
use as an actual physical symbol of
disapproval when hurled at actors
or presidential nominees.
Now in Kamloops, Canada, it plays
a new role-that of money itself.
The Weekly Sentinel of that town
has received six thousand eggs in
payment for subscriptions, and the
cashier has to tread softly to con-
serve his lay roll. Other publishers
are watching results with fingers
crossed. They suspect strongly that
sooner or later all the profits will be
eaten up.

and warned them they should prepare
for defense against his onslaughts. But
they only laughed at him. If they had
followed his advice, France, England and
the United States would have been pre-
pared to meet Hitlers war machine. Un-
doubtedly France and England would
have been able to fight him on his own
grounds, and the United States would
now be fully prepared to resist any
foreign interference with Western Hemi-
sphere countries. These men agree with
Mr.. Lindbergh that America should
come first in any preparedness program.

Discusses Wagner Act As Guard
For Employees Business

For Employees Business"
70 the Editor of The Star:
David Lawrence in his column in The
Star for May 2 says that the Wagner
Act ruling made by the New Deal
Supreme Court changed our kind OF q
Government to Communism and Fas-
ciSm combination when it denied the
employer the right to fire and hire his
employees any time that he so desired.
To me the ruling represents common
sense or real Americanism, because I
always have considered the employees
business should have the same protection
as that given to the employers business.
But the employees business never had
any lawful protection by his Government
until the New Deal administration came
into power
The employees business is his job, and
it means as much to him in every way
as the employers does to him. The en-
ploye's well-being depends on the profit
that he makes out of his job, just as the
employers does from the profit he makes
out of business.
The Wagner Act under the New Deal
administration has not deprived the
employer Of any of his lawful rights.
He may incorporate his business, employ
a business manager or s-y other officials
for the purpose of seeking profit. The
Wagner Act is a law that permits the
employe to organize his business through
a labor union. He, too, may employ
business manager and other officials for
the purpose of conducting his business
in such a manner that he may make
profit out OF his business, which is his job.

THIS AND THAT
Bp Charles Z. TrdceUeH.

While they do not accept 1t as greedily
as do the cardinals, the catbirds and the
song sparrows, to say nothing of the
starlings, they come to it frequently. The
best way to use this food in the summer
is to put out a small trayful, preferably
elevated, to keep it from dogs.
The best time is in the evening, say
from o'clock on until dark.
The birds will come to look for this
help for the many hungry mouths they
have to feed.
There is one thing about the thrushes
though, they do not seem to like to be
ION relief in this way. They strike
you as being birds which would much
rather rustic up their own food in the
way nature intended.
Let us make sure that no reader draws
from this the conclusion that we think
feeding this type of food, or any other,
in spring and summer, is wrong. AS
we have stated before, you cannot spoil"
the pure children Of nature. What they
find, in the food line, they eat; and they
would be foolish if they didn't. Whether
1t has been placed there by nature or
by man is none of their concern. 1t is
the same with squirrels. What differ
ence does it make to squirrel, whether
it finds walnut on tree or peanut
on a doorstep?
Thrushes are content, for the most
part, to find their food for themselves
on the lawns and under shrubs.
They are sociable, friendly birds, quite
fearless. One of the finest of all summer
lawn pictures is that of wood thrush
hopping along a few feet in front of
the busy lawn mower.
At times the manipulation feels that
the bird will get cut up, unless he is
very, very careful.
1t is a strange thing, when you stop
to consider it, how bird with the name
of wood thrush ever became so accus-
toned to the lawns of suburban COM
munities. In fact, the name of lawn
thrush probably would be better name
for it now. Few of them, evidently, stay
in the real woods. They prefer wooded
residential community. Perhaps they
have no way of distinguishing between
a settled or a non settled woods.
Xxx H*
Although the first thrush was seen a
week before schedule in our part of
Chevy Chase, the first real thrush sing
ing did not commence until April %.
Now we have thrush music with our
meals, and at all other times of the
day, and it seems to be just the thing.
Once your ears get to listening to thrush
music, in the spring, you find that no
other bird quite fills the bill. (No pun
intendedJ
The wood thrush has clear, loud,
musical song, with more pattern to it
than many birds outpouring. 1t is
type of song peculiarly appropriate
to the outdoors, and also to the singer
who makes it.
Once you become accustomed to thrush
music, you will find in the autumn you
will miss it very much, and will look
forward to spring-the last of April-to
hear it again. There may be better
bird singers, but We have never heard
one.

A. The pajama garment is Moham-
medan in origin. 1t was used in India
centuries ago. The earliest known men,
ton by a European was by Francis
Pyrard, French traveller held captive

tised by London merchants as new
fashion in 1893. and we're probably in
troduced into the United States shortly
thereafter.
@. How many phonograph records and
radio monographs are sold in the

Man Power for Defense

IN view OF the shortages Of crafts
men already reported in many de-
fense industries, the Office of Pro-
duction Management has done we'll
to launch a campaign to increase the
Nations supply of skilled workers.
Sidney Hillman, associate director of
o. P. M, visited New York on the
first Of series of visits to major in
dustrial centers. The object of these
field trips, he explains, "is to ener-
gize and extend our system of labor
supply and training, so that no mat
ter how greatly or swiftly the pro-
duction program expands, no wheel
in a defense plant shall fail to turn
for lack of a trained man"
Walter D. Fuller, president of the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, in an address at Denver Monday,
presented further evidence that the
country faces "bottleneck" in the
present lack of skilled workers. Cit
ing a poll just completed by the
N. A. M, he estimated that seventy
six per cent of the plants holding
defense contracts would encounter a
shortage of skilled labor if they
operated continuously, on the basis
of the present standard forty-hour
week. According to Mr.. Fuller, the
results of this poll indicate that the
Nations defense job cannot be done
on a forty-hour week, for the reason
that there are not enough trained
craftsmen now available.
Though the Fair Labor Standards
Act does not prevent a longer work
week than forty hours, it requires
the payment of overtime for all hours
worked beyond the statutory maxi
mum. Such overtime, if paid to a
large number of workers, would in
crease by substantial amount the
cost of the defense program. Pro-
vided they have sufficient skilled
workers, industrial plants could op-
crate almost continuously through
the week, by using four shifts, each
working forty hours week. Without
an adequate supply of trained crafts
men, however, multiple shift opera
ton, on the basis Of the forty-hour
work week, would not be possible.

Defends Mr.. Lindbergh's Views
And Says Majority Supports Them.

To tine Editor Of The Star:
1t is my opinion that the first page
cartoon in The Star of May 2 is q
slur upon an honorable, respected Amer
lean citizen. Charles A. Lindbergh has
not said anything that should subject
him to smears either from the White
House or in a high-class, respectable
newspaper.
For more than 20 years have been
Washington correspondent for agricul-
tural, livestock and dairy papers. have
interpreted Washington activities -
agricultural, economic and political-for
upwards of 650.000 farm folks on Middle
West and Western farms and ranches.
This has necessitated that keep in close
contact with their views on national
affairs.
believe that large majority of these
farm, ranch and range folks are in agree
ment with Mr.. Lindbergh's foreign policy.
that American defense should come first,
and they are opposed to the United
States engaging in the European war.
These people are not copperheads. They
are not traitors. They are patriotic
American citizens, whose boys and young
men, in case our armies are sent abroad,
will be in the front-line trenches fighting
to save the British Empire and for the
honor and glory of their own country.
I have large number of friends in
Washington and elsewhere who are in
agreement with Mr.. Lindbergh and his
opposition to President RooSevelt'S
foreign war policy. They are not copper
heads. They are not traitors nor Hit
lerites. They are outstanding patriotic
Americans.
One of the number, a prominent
Washington physician, reminded me the
other day that some five years ago Mr..
Lindbergh told the government oficials
Of France, England and the United
States what Hitler was preparing to do
