PeH-MeU Drive

Michigan started a pell-mell
drive with Chappuis getting eight:
State was offside and Michigan
had a first down on the 10. Chap
puts in two tries carried the ball
to the Ia.
Sophomore Yaap decided this
was the place TO let the 80, 163
fans know he was a football
player, too. He made a first
down on the 9. Don Lund, a
sophomore from Detroit, in at
fullback for Michigan, went TO
the 5 and from this point Yaap
sliced through for the score.
Perhaps IL was - the va r m
weather, and then again 1t might
have been the tough tussle with
Great Lakes a week ago. but in
either case the Wolverines didn't
have the spark today that marked
their play in the opener.
Obviously Crisler and his staff
made no effort to raise the team
for this game. The job of selling
Michigan for the superlative will
come this week. Most experts
agree Michigan's toughest assign
ment of the year is on deck for
next Saturday when Bernie Bier

Not Without Benefit

A total of thirty-six dismissals and

of some 2,581 Investigations of Fed

1t is comforting to know that some
forty-nine Federal employees, evi-

Wants Fifth Freedom
In Behalf of Women.

To the Editor of The Star: S@AH3 s.3'3&5 7{ff
have just listened to the radio ad-
dress delivered by President Roosevelt
on, the occasion of the dedication of the
new Navy Medical Center at Bethesda,
Md.
One of many commendable features
which should be given special credit
was his use of the expression "men and
women" In common with other men
he has often presented an incomplete
picture by the use OF masculine terms
alone. such as "free men," for example.
1t is most heartening to note that
our Chief Executive is becoming more
and more woman conscious in his public
addresses.
There is one expression which he and
many other Americans-m and wom-
desire that all people shall enjoy the
blessings of freedom. The phrase is:
Regardless of race, creed or color"
Now if they could be persuaded to insert
the word "sex" and fight for the princi-
pie when this war is over, as a neces-
sary element of real democracy, and
establish the equality of the sexes before
the law in all countries, there could be
no greater contribution to postwar
progress.
I wish the President would add q
fifth freedom to those he outlined-the
freedom of the feminine half of the
world from the autocracy of sex. Never
can we have balanced, righteous world
until this colossal sin of subjugation of
its womanhood is wiped from the earth.

Dear Sir:
so many years ago that think you
have forgotten about it-I think it was
In 1924-you wrote about evening in
Esstee alley, over in Georgetown.
Some time hope you may follow 1t
up, at long last, with an article about
evening in Chevy Chase.
"I imagine We have about the same
sort of evening in Bethesda, but won-
der if the twilight hours in either place
can compare with the beauties you pic
tured so long ago in Georgetown.
Recently have had occasion to visit
several friends who live over there, not
far from the Esstee alley you celebrated.
"I was struck with the absolute love-
illness of that evening, due to the mag
nificent sunset. Why is it we do not
have such sunsets in nearby Maryland? ?
Surely the places are not far apart, but
I have never seen in Maryland any
such sunset, with its bright glow, color
and vividneSs.
my friends tell me that the George
town sunsets grow better as the season
progresses, and that If I come over later
in September and october they will
show us something even better.
Some time you might turn your at
tention to this matter and tell us why

eral Government for the prompt and
fair disposition Of cases which have
been investigated
The Attorney General properly
takes Mr.. Dies to task for making
generalized charges, in the vast
majority of cases unsupported by
more than suspicious aroused by
discovery of names on mailing list.
In many cases injustice has been
done to individuals who have been
left without recourse in the face
of slanderous attacks. Only three
persons were found subject to disci-
pline out of the haul of 1,121 names
fished up by Mr.. Dies. But it is also
to be remembered that lacking the
persistent, if annoying, stings of the
Dies Committee the Federal Govern
ment still might be refusing to take
seriously any suggestion of subversive
activity within the Government serv-
ice. And there has been too much
smoke to take for granted the alb
sence of any fire. Mr.. Dies and his
activities, in spite of consistent an
tagonism from the administration
have been indorsed time and again
by the House, which pretty accurately
reflected strong sentiment among
the people.
1t may be taken for granted that
the FBI's investigation was made
with its usual thoroughness and that
with the vast load of accumulated
cases out of the way, future investi-
cations will be facilitated and prop
erly disposed of by the steps recon-
mended In the Biddle report. It no
longer requires the nagging of Mr..
Dies to convince anybody of the abso-
lutte necessity of removing all uncer-
tainty regarding the loyalty and
trustworthiaess of any worker in the
Federal establishment.

Agency Shifts

The report of Commissioner Rey-
s1olds of the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, summarizing the results
of the decentralization program that
was inaugurated in December, en-
phasizes the inadequacy of this
method of solving the problem of
congestion in the Capital.
The shift of Government agencies,
now in it's concluding stages, was
undertaken to bring relief in the
office-space and housing situation,
and to the Public Buildings Admins
tration was delegated the task of
relocating the transferred units. Mr..
Reynolds reports that the completed
program will involve eighty-six moves
while providing desk room here for
10000 war workers and housing for
10000. Considered alone, these fig
ures seem large, but when it is re-
called that while the outbound move
ment has been in progress, approx
mately $4,000 employees were being
brought into the Capital, they are not
impressive.
Decentralization also has been
costly, the expense including trans
portation for the families and house
hold effects of the employees, the
removal of Office equipment, and
alterations in the buildings to be
occupied. It has often worked a
hardship on the employees themselves,
particularly those with long-estab-
1ished homes. 1t was evident at
the time the decentralization was
launched that curtailment or sus-
pension of functions not essential to
the war effort, and the diversion of
the employees thus freed to war work
would have been a much better
alternative. There was, however, no
attempt to shape plan along these
lines.
The Budget Bureau is reported to
have studies under way now to de-
termine if further decentralization
moves could be carried out to make
way for the thousands of new work.
ers coming in monthly. That pro-
gram should not be repeated. Con-
gress abolished the Civilian Con-
servation Corps and cut down on the
National Youth Administration with
out loss to the country, and the War
Production Board halted the Rural
Electrifcation Administration. Re-
trenchment, not decentralization, is
the sensible way to halt the growth
of the vast establishment here.

the original is always better than the

1t is, we believe, because the first is

on the other hand, 1t is the result of

To the Editor of The Star:
In your issue of August 81 I noticed

No one seems to be interested in such
a hearing except one cab driver. l

the one mentioned, who is interested in
strike at this time. Most of them
tell me they are doing better on the
new zone rates than they have done
since the rate war began in 1929.
OF course the new rates, like all zone
rates, are discriminatory The only
way discrimination can be eliminated
is through taxi-meter system. There
would be no point, therefore, in having
another zone rate hearing.
The only other point in the article
that interests cab drivers is rubber and

CriticiZes Pacifists
For FavOrs to Axis Powers,

80 the Editor of The Star:
How the pacifists have labored with
all the ingenuity of Philadelphia law

relieve the war lords of the Axis powers
of the full responsibility for this terrible
war that today blights the life of man.
kind! They have brought every argu-
ment that they can muster to involve
all the nations in a completely of guilt
for the present war. In order to estab-
lish an alibi for the Axis war lords for
full responsibility for starting World
War II they have ransacked the attics
and cellars of the United Nations for all
the mistakes and transgressions that
those countries ever have committed.
The paci1sts then parade the short
comings and sins of the United Nations
in order to establish their theory that
all war is a particular demonstration
of sin in the world"
When the paciflsts finish their many
and long reviews of the transgressions,
little and big, of the United Nations
for several centuries back, these nations
are made to appear blacker than the
aggressors. Having discounted the char
acter of the nations fighting for free
dom in this war, the pacifists give their
conclusion with great JUNCTION that this
war is judgment of God on all of U.s."
After concluding that all the nations
share responsibility along with the ag-
gressors for starting World War II, the
paciflsts then wash their hands of all
responsibility for victory for liberty and

the issue of liberty or slavery hanging
in the balance, the pacifists spend all

for "the basis of a just and durable

Criticizes Plan for Army
OF 10000, 900 Men.

To the Editor OF The Star:
They are now talking of raising an
army of ten million. In this connection
am wondering whether consideration
has been taken of the estimate, COM
monty used by those opposing an imme-
diate second front, that for every soldier
overseas it requires 20 tons of shipping
A small amount of arithmetic would
show that an army of ten million over
seas would require cargo fleet of two
hundred million tons, which, at our pres
ent rate of building and at the present
rate of sinkings, would require at least 20
years to build. What possible purpose
would it serve, therefore, to raise an army
of ten million? 1t would completely dis
rupt our production schedules. Where
would the material and food come from
to equip this huge army, as we'll as to
supply all the other allied armies? 1t

fusion In the war effort without making

: To the Editor of The Star:
have been following with interest the
frequent articles appearing in local
papers regarding the nursing situation.
There is evidently weak spot some
where. I understand that there is q

prospective student nurses requiring

lent idea, but why not invest part of
this sum to relieve the critical condition

10 years experience in all fields of nurs-
ing and am still under 40 years. I have
tremendous desire to re-enter the
service for the duration I sincerely feel
that with my background I could be of
considerable help in local hospitals
where a marked shortage of nurses pre-
walls. However, after making a careful
inquiry I have discovered that the
tops" in salary for graduate nurses is
500 per month. Now, this hardly makes
sense in these days of rising salaries
for unskilled labor. We women put
in three of the best years of our youthful
lives studying the profession of nursing,
and great many of us have supple
mented that time with years served in
the practical field. We are mature in
thought and experience, hence are of
greater value than new graduate.
Speaking for myself, am a mother
OF two young children. As such, have
been an obstetrical patient, surgical
and also medical patient Surely I am
better equipped, with this background,
TO deal with sick humanity than a new
graduate that lacks the sureness and
efnciency that only years of experience
can bring her. now see clearly, from
both patients and nurses viewpoint. Yet,
there is this to consider: If T return
to work I must make provision for nv
home to operate efficiently during my
absence. To secure the services OF a
competent maid, it would require at
minimum an outlay of $50 per month.
In addition, there would be carfare, uni
forms, extras, etc, which would bring
the total close to the 500 I would be
earning. Also there Is the disruption and
tremendous readjustment of my home to
consider.
Why have we not, in this country,
which is as fully involved in this war
as any nation, a system of central
nurseries qualified to care for children
during their mothers working hoursp
There is crying need for such right
here in Washington. 1t would release
many competent women to re-enter the
work for which they were trained, and
thus do their part in the war effort,
whereas under the present setup their
hands are tied. If I knew the answer,
I'd gladly do my part for the duration.
