Considers Danger of Nudism
And Need for Adjustments
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Representative Martin Dies takes
umbrage at the presence of an alleged
advocate of nudism on the Board of
Economic Warfare. He says, There is
no place in postwar planning agency
for a person who advocated such a
crackpot and immoral plan"
disagree heartily with Mr.. Dies, for,
what with paying for the war on the
one hand and facing an increasing
shortage of civilian clothing on the
other, all of us not in the armed forces
may become nudists willy -nilly and even
before the war is over.
Then we shall need 10 make adjust
ments In our concepts Of morality and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-04-02

modesty in order that we may run
around in our birthday suits without
embarrassment.
An expert, on nudism, such as Vice
President Wallace is said to have on
his board, should be just the person
needed to help us make these adjust
ments. Perhaps he will also know how
to teach physical culture for the stream
lining of the human form to the end
that all nudes may be good nudes!

Praises Founder of Tuskegee
And His Work.

To the Editor OF The Star:
April 5 is the 86th anniversary Of
the late Booker T. Washington's birth
in a Virginia slave cabin. AS boy he
worked toward his conception of a
better life and with the help of Gen.
Samuel Chapman Armstrong at Hamp-
ton Institute was prepared for its
achievement. Besides founding the
world-famous Tuskegee Institute he
became known as educator, orator and
author.
From its inception Tlskegee has of
fered training fitted to change and
improve conditions among the masses.
Her students have learned to build
houses, raise and preserve food prod
ucts, make clothes, manage homes and
bring up children.
In an address, DR.. Washington said:
"Those interested in education should
consider to what extent knowledge
makes producers lovers of labor, indie
pendent, unselfish and, above all SUI
premely good Call education by what
ever name you please, If 1t fails to
bring about these results, it falls short
of its highest end. How wish we could
burn 1t, as it were, into the hearts and
minds of all, that usefulness, service to
our brother, Is the supreme end Of edu-
cation"
Dr. washington's comprehension of
the historic fact that economic distress
and social disorder are potent stimuli
for constructive advancement resulted
in the development of well-rounded
curriculum of industrial training. Thou
sands of Tuskegee graduates are demon
strating the value of utilitarianism in
educational philosophy. Their skills are
valuable assets in times of peace or war.

GA man who knew EXACTLY what ne was
Il talking about WAS speaking.
O-And a fearless man, man of action and
= man who sees the task ahead of us more
clearly than any one else in Washington was
speaking to the WHOLE nation.
Mr.. Nelson's talk was, in fact, the most CON
NINCING,' the most APPEALING and the most
sheerly UNDECEIVING war talk we've heard on
the air since the beginning Of the conflict.
He spoke to the managers and workers of
America, the men on whom the fighters in this war
depend as absolutely as human beings depend for
food and water in order to live.
THE commander of our war production put
l. RESPONSIBILITY squarely on the shoulders
of each individual American worker and executive
when he said pointing his finger at each one Of u.s.
Il have talked to men who blame labor for
lack of production. | have talked to labor leaders
who blame management for lack of production.
have talked to managers who blame their sup
pliers. | have talked to suppliers who blame
scarcity of materials. And | have talked to a lot
of people who blame Washington
MY answer to each of these people has been:
What have YOU done about it Yourself?
ITO the business men who blame labor say:
"What have YOU done TO settle the problem
fOrthrightly instead of merely complaining? Have
YOU really tried to remove the causes of just COM
plants against working conditions in your plant?
"To the representatives of labor | say
"Ha,e YOU really gone to the limit to adjust
your differences without stopping productions"
Again, Mr.. Nelson says:
stop PASSING THE BUCK!
They do not pass the buck in the fox-holes
of Bataan.
Our fighters in the air and on land in Java do
not pass the buck.
So if we are to have victory "buck-pasSing'
between management and labor MUST STOP
NOW, and EACH MAN on the home industrial
front, as Mr. Nelson says, must realize that he is
soldiel-and he must GIVE, GIVE, GIVE in
physical and mental power to the UTTERMOST.
THE following, also from Mr. Nelson's mastery
call to war production, should be pasted up in
every factory in America:
I'VE Americans love cOmpettiOn-the match
ing of wills and sks in sport and trade. Here
have, in effect, the greatest competition of all
time in which the wills and skiIls of American in
duStry-men and management-can really make
freedom ring around the world
Free enterpriSe-that is, LlBERTN-is at
stake, and Mr.. Nelson's appeal is to FREE Ameri-
can labor and FREE American management to
destroy in a great competitive contest the slave
labor and the slave management of the totalitaran
countries
No greater or mighter contest has ever been
carried on under the sun-SI.AVERY OR FREE
DOM: WHICH?
Donald NJ. Nelson inspires confidence.
His speech is blueprint for VICTORY.
