 pute for Consideration

The employees committee is seeking 8 union shop, which would require that all work CTS join the union within a speci- fled time, also two weeks annual vacation for workers of over five years service, and liberalization of seniority provisions.

SPECIAL SESSION
 OF LEGISLATURE
Hartford Alderman De- mands It in Order to Cope
 With Rising Rents
-NEA Radiophoto

Hartford, Conn, July 18.-(UP)- A special session of the Connecticut legislature was requested today to pass emergency legislation placing a ceiling" on rising rents in the state.
 The extraordinary session of the general assembly was demanded by Hartford Alderman Alfred Wechsler, chairman of the local aldermanic rent study committee, in letter to Federal Price Adminis- trator Leon Henderson.
 Henderson was asked to persuade Gov. Hurley to call the emergency session of legislators.
 "Our committee, said Wechsler if a letter to Henderson, lis of the opinion that the State of Connec. ticut should take the initiative tr this emergency to render Q great public service to its citizens by en- acting adequate legislation to deal with the rent question without bur- dening the federal government, which is now overwhelmed with con- gressional activities.
 By proceeding along these lines, and it should be done without de- lay, Connecticut may encourage other states similarly affected to take like measures for the solution of theri problems. If you concur with our committee on the issue of state legislation, I am confident that a request by you of our gov- ernor for the calling of special session Of our legislature will re- ceive prompt and favorable action"
 Wechsler said if this plan were not approved, the federal govern ment should take action to relieve the critical rent condition.

Slip Cost Sisters Lives

ESS than month ago 63-year-od Cyrel DeVriendt
l. hit 11.year-old girl with his automobile He got
eoday suspended sentence for reckless driving from
Warren Township justice Previously DeNnendt was
twice found guilty of reckless driving in Detroit Traffic
Court
With three reckless driving convictions on his record
together with an assortment of lesser violations, De-
Vriendt showed off in his old week ago His brief
Journey ended with the killing of two sisters and the
serious injury of their 13-year-old brother.
State law requires judges finding motorist guilty
of reckless driving notify the secretary of states office
There is also statute requiring state report IN IN
stances of personal injury But there reports on
Cyriel Devrendt The secretary of states central file
shows no record of him.
Now here's the "if' upon which hinged the life of
two young girls.
IF DeVriendts previous convictions had been re-
ported his right drive would undoubtedly have been
revoked and his two victims would probably be alive
today.
State Police Capt c. j. Scavarda wants to know why
the law wasn't complied with in DeVrends and has
launched an investigation hearbroken family and an
angry public likewise demands to know why
The state police have the tools to take drivers

APART from wise fiscal man.
n agement. utter cleanliness
in politics. proved courage of an
extraordinary degree, uneN-
ampled effort and complete con-
tempt for his own financial
interests, il is trite 10 say that
Fiorello LaGuardia is the best
MAYOR New York ever had.
New Workers probably do not
realize as emphatically as IA
miliars reYisiting the city al
intervals what has been done to
better il. but you can't drive all
around il as l have done after a
considerable absence and not
simply marvel at what. TO me AZ
least. seems a literal miracle tn
municipal improvement
For the actual work, of course,
nv other sometime opponent,
Bob Moses. deserves -the-Hff--
limited praise and respect that
he seems Justly 10 be getting.
But Fiorello supported him re-
CARELESS of politics and, above
all got the dough out OF the
federal kitty TO do 1t.
THAT has sometimes been
I-erftieized because the Lille
Flowers dough-getting accom-
phshments have not h e n
eoualed elsewhere in the United
States. But people who say that
frequently forget that New YORK
contributes an even larger put
in taxes than the ratio she
takes" out of the colossal fed
eral Jackpot.
If he didn't insist on pro-
portionate share in return, Mr..
LaGuardia would be failing on
his job.
Maybe the latter part Of this
column may seem 10 have
local aspect too narrow for a
column of national circulation.
l think not.
Mr.. LaGuardia is up for re-
election. In the second or third
most important job in The UnIted
States he has written a record
of faithful and efficient public
service which is an example Tor
the world.
II is of immediate and intense
national interest that such serv-
ice should be recognized and re-
warded. I would as soon think
complacently of General Motors
firing Alfred Sloan, as OF the
rejection by New York City of
the most valuable public servant
in recent political history.

3 Great GUYS
Given Their
Just Praise
They Have What II Takes
in Tough Jobs
BY HUGH S. JOHNSON

THIS is a column about three
u guys-very important guys
just now. If ii is ga-ga and
sentimental it has no business
to be. l have just had two teeth
out. But 1 have enough close
personal experience with these
men TO write about them at
first-hand and not on remote
control.
They are Fiorello LaGuardia
and Bob Moses-and l couple
them for a good reason-and
Douglas Macarthur, who has
just been appointed our military
pro-consul in the Orient.
With these gents / have both
tangled and embraced-agreed
and disagreed. cuddled like kit
tens and fought like cats. But,
whether it was a fight or a
frolic, / always came away with
a wholesome respect for their
ability, courage and value as
American leaders.
I EFT me speak first OF MacAr-
IL thur He was my classmate
at West Point in the days when
the academy was so small that
classmates knew each other bet
ter than many brothers--a cir
cumstance which decided many
campaigns of the Civil War be-
cause opposing West Point COM
manders knew each other so
well. or their staff officers did.
that each commander knew what
the other would do in a given
set of circumstance because he
was so we'll aware of his char
acter.
Macarthur was the perfect
choice for the Orient. Like his
father. he is almost too brave
for high command. There is no
room here to tell OF his exploits
which are those Of a d Artag-
nan. He can't resist going over
the top with his men. AS an
eN-chief OF staff, he knows the
Oriental problem better than
any other officer.
AS an intimate OF Casey
Quezon he knows the Philippine
problem better. And he is bril-
liant-almost beyond belief. A
little spectacular and theatrical
perhaps. but that is a detail.
The Philippine army is his own
creation. You couldn't have
sifted the whole army and made
a better selection than the Presl-
dents.
