Having obtained Nutrition for You"
and Nita-Min-GO, as well as some
copies Of the pamphlet, Nutrition and
Labor Superstition and Science in Our
Daily Food" any labor group, regard
less Of size, Is in good position To
conduct its own nutrition education
without any outside help. If they can
get "a representative from the local
nutrition committee, well and good. If
not, they can ask member with some
interest in nutrition to volunteer to
lead the discussion. This person should
read the two booklets in advance and
should practice the NitaNIin-GO game
so as to understand it. This is indeed
all that is necessary to make it pos
sible for the volunteer to act as Il
guide to the rest of the group during
the entire course.
The beginning of the course consists
of playing the Vita -Min-Go game for
all the meals of the preceding day.
This must be done by all the members
together. Many shortages will be re-
vealed, but it is hest for the group
leader to start with shortages that are
due to faulty breakfast. In one Of
the releases of the Union Label Fea-
ture Service. it has been pointed out in
detail that, on the whole, the Arneri-
can public relies upon the breakfast
! for good portion Of its yitaInin C..
People who do not eat citrus fruit or
"a rI- Iif, Fr,Iit mi, ia
| juice in the morning are unlikely to
make up this fault at other meals. For
this reason it is best for the discussion
to begin with this yitamin and with IL
| discussion of the foods from which il
is derived in our diet TO make the
subject interesting, the section on
scurvy in Superstition and Science in
Our Daily Food should be read aloud
at the meeting, from the middle of
page five to the bottom of page nine.
If the nature Of the group makes such
reading inadyisable, it might be- best
to assign this section to two or more
members or the group as homework
! for the following meeting date. This is
a desirable procedure, mainly because
it makes members Of the group CO.
operate and share the responsibility Of
the discussion.
Nutrition education. like any other
form of adult education. must be done
| by the people themselves The idea Of
this course is not 10 teach, but TO make
people teach themselves To do that
the people have to share the response
bility and cooperate in guiding the rest
of the group to the best of their abil-
| ity. Besides, giving every member Il
| Job at one time or another, and getting
them to stand up before the class to
discuss problem, makes them feel
the reality of this type of educa ton
and makes them true participants, and
not just members of the audience This
| is precisely what the discussion must
do.
The best procedure would be to read
any selected section in the class room
and assign it To two people for the
next meeting, anyway. Each member
of the group should then be asked to
enumerate the kinds of food rich in
vitamn & which he had consumed the
previous day and to check with the
Nita-Min-GO game to see whether
he has eaten enough of such foods.

Civil Liberties Pamphlet

OF more than passing interest is
the pamphlet Safeguarding Our
Civil Liberties" recently published by
the Public Affairs Committee, New
York. The author is Robert E. Cush-
man, professor of government at
Cornell University, and he ap-
proaches his theme with the forth
right declaration: THE deadening
effect of repression on the thought
and life of those living in dictator
ships should warn us to make sure
that our civil liberties are neither
Whitfield away in time of peace nor
submerged under the supposed
necessities of war"
But Professor Cushman is quick to
acknowledge that: Civil liberty is
always relative. All our rights are
dependent on the co-existing rights
OF others and the demands of ma
tional security. Thus there can be
no such thing as an absolute freedom
OF speech. The same is true
of the other basic civil liberties"
Nevertheless, he warns: "The idea
that civil liberties are relative and
must yield to the need for preserving
the safety of the Nation is only a
step removed from the simple and
brutal slogan that the end not only
justifies the means, but justifles any
means"
During the First World War, Prof
fessor Cushman suggests, the cost
nest civil liberty sacrifice" was the
arbitrary curbing of freedom of
speech, press and assembly. There
has so far been no serious free
speech problem during the present
war" A very serious danger" now
is "the intrusion of military autho-
rity into the civilian life of the
Nation" and I'VE should watch with
jealous suspicion and concern this
new tendency to supplant civil
authority by martial law" The
Milligan case of 1856 established a
distinction between "a state in which
hostilities were not going on" and
one in which fighting was proceed
ing, and the Supreme Courts ruling
that martial law cannot
validly be in force side by side with
civilian law" is worthy of remem-
brance in the prevailing emergency.
Professor Cushman, however, files
no specific complaint against the
Army. Rather, he cautions his
readers to notice that: Dangers to
civil liberty are not confined to war
The most drastic invasions of
civil liberty which stemmed from the
First World War came during the few
years just after the war was over"
When the inevitable armistice finally
Evening star., 1943-08-28

is arranged, "the civil liberties of
several minority groups will be in
great danger" In the field of labor
relations, civil rights on both sides
have been overridden." There is
widespread antagonism to certain
religious sects." A very disquieting
and insidious threat to civil liberties
lies in the attitude of some groups
- toward our so-called radicals
or liberals" and it likewise is con-
ceivable that conservatives" may be
troubled by advanced" groups with
power to be intolerant.
AS to the best ways in which to
safeguard civil privileges, Professor
Cushman insists: "A people will not
long retain its liberties unless it
understands and values them.
Civil liberty is not secured merely by
the enforcement of the Federal and
State bills of rights. It's pro-
lection depends fundamentally on
the understanding and the will of
liberty-l loving people" The average
thoughtful citizen surely will agree
with such view.

Chick Factory

In a New England town, several
abandoned factories have been con-
verted by their owners to chick-rais-
ing plants. AS might be expected,
quantity production is the motif,
even though the chicks are not ac-
tually manufactured in entirety by
machinery. 1t is said that once
manufacturer, always a manufact-
urer, yet in this case there are
enough notifications to offer dis
pute.
Offhand, the pay chick may seem
more satisfactory to the operator
than his former headache, the pay
check. When the workers squawk
they need not be appeased. Labor
troubles will not arise; the feathered
workers are unorganized, and they
will not appeal to the War Labor
Board, If they lay down on the job,
that is what they are supposed to do.
If they lay off, the dressed poultry
market is available for their services.
But perhaps the greatest boon to the
factory proprietor will be standardi-
cation of his products. Unless the
war gets much tougher than ex-
pected, he will not be required, every
two or three months. to tear the
whole Joint to pieces while preparing
to produce four-legged chickens,
cubical eggs, or other Improvements
supposedly required by the shifting
fortunes of war.

Warning From WLB

1t is significant that the War Labor
Board, speaking through Vice Chair
man George w, Taylor, has seen fit
+ to issue a warning that the entire
stabilization program is being threat
ened by excess income in the hands
of wage earners.
At first glance. this would seem to
put the board in a strangely incon-
Slstent position, for its policies have
played prominent role in building
up this excess of purchasing power.
Throughout its history the board has
held to the view that wage rates are
one thing, actual earnings another,
In line with this reasoning, it has
decreed that basic wage rates must
be adjusted upward as living costs
advance, the idea being that there
must be no impairment of the pur-
chasing power of basic rates of pay.
But this has been done with COM
plete disregard of overtime pay. The
result has been that basic wages have
Kept abreast, or nearly abreast, of
the rise in living costs. And those
workers who have received overtime
pay have built up from that source
tremendous excess of buying power.
AS a practical matter, however,
this policy is not indefensible. The
demands of war have made overtime
work a necessity. And under the
pattern that had been established in
Industry this overtime work was paid
for at time -and-one- half or double
time rates. There are those who
argue that in war economy these
premium-pay rates cannot be justi-
fed; that under the doctrine of
equality of sacrifice the men in the
war factories are no more entitled
to special compensation for overtime
than are the men at the battle fronts.
But this is a line of reasoning which
overlooks the fact that our prime
objective has been to get production,
and that it is very doubtful that we
would have gotten it without the
incentive of premium pay for over
time work.
Thus, assuming the validity of the
boards wage policies, DR.. Taylor
turns to "a really far-reaching pro-
gram Of saving and taxation" to
support the stabilization program.
This is a general proposition on
which there will be almost universal
agreement. The question is what one
means by really far reaching pro-
gram of taxation and savings, and
on this point DR.. Taylor is non
commital.
AS to savings, however there is
mounting evidence that the program
must rest on some sort of compulsory
basis. And it will not be enough in
the case of taxes to soak the rich"
and let up on those with incomes
under $4,000, as some labor leaders
suggest. The records show that the
bulk OF excess purchasing power is
concentrated in the relatively low
income levels, and if taxation is to
play an effective part in stabilization
the program will have to be broad
enough to reach these war-infated
incomes.

The Shortage of Nurses

Inc warning by the United States
Public Health Service that many hos
pitfalls throughout the country can
not maintain even normal standards
OF service because of the shortage
OF graduate nurses sums up one of
the most serious and potentially dan
gerous problems of the war. The
most encouraging prospect in con-
nection with this problem is that
there is no lack of intelligent effort
to solve It,
The results of this effort cannot
be judged, however. for long time
to come. For we have developed so
high standard of professional nurs-
Ing service in this country that
trained replacements cannot be pro-
duced quickly. The replacement
program is to be measured in terms
of years, rather than in months. It
is taking form in the United States
Cadet Nurses Corps, a system of
grants-in-aid by the National Gov
ernment to qualified training schools
throughout the country under which
scholarships are offered to eligible
young women who wish to train
themselves for professional nursing
under conditions which are highly
advantageous to them, as we'll as to
the public.
Under the Bolton Act, which be-
came law last June, training schools
are invited to apply for the funds
administered through the United
States Public Health Service. Two
Washington hospitals, Freedmen's
and Providence, were among the first
three in the Nation to apply, and
other Washington hospitals since
have been approved and are insti-
tuting the courses. There have been
more applications in the District,
however, than there are facilities to
train the nurses. And these facili-
ties, in turn, are affected by the lack
of housing, which offers a separate
problem in itself. Through the
courses, young women are graduated
as nurses after a course of twenty
four to thirty months, compared with
the normal peacetime training of
about three years. While the courses
have been shortened, the standards
Of nursing have been preserved.
1t will be matter of years, there
fore, before even the first recruits
In this service will be able to replace
the graduate nurses who are being
taken out of the civilian hospitals
by the needs of the military services.
In the meantime, increasing reliance
must be placed on that fine form
of volunteer service by women, rep
resented in the Red Cross Nurses
Aides. About 1,100 of these women
have been graduated from Red Cross
courses here and most of them are
serving now in Washington hospi-
tails. Glasses are turning out new
graduates every three weeks. These
women obligate themselves to serve
one hundred and fifty hours on hos
pital duty, and only thirty graduates
have been dropped for failure to live
up to that pledge-a real tribute to
the graduates as we'll as to the sys-
tenn which produced them.

Strange Talk
Prom the Houston Post

What kind of strange talk is this, from
Washington bureaucrat? This country
is too broad, too far-fung, too varied In
It's production to have the work done
by directives from Washington"
Texas own Marvin Jones, the current
food administrator, uttered the heresy,
and If he doesn't pipe down with that
sort Of stuff he may soon find himself
the eX-food administrator.
Imagine, Washington Office holder
admitting that the people can work out
the Nations food program-or any pro-
gram, for that matter-without "direc-
tives from Washington" He even urged
the people to join in voluntary team
work to produce the food we need.
We fear that the former Congressman
from Amarillo will be ostracized by the
Amalgamated Order of Bureaucrats and
Federal Payrollers for uttering this fur
ther near-treason: I'VE can only assist:
we must rely largely upon the State.
county and community organizations of
real people who have builded America
and are in a position to save America
and her institutions. all of which are
at stake in the conflict with which we
are now faced"
Truly, Mr. Jones has betrayed those
who have worked so hard to make the
people of this country believe they
cannot do anything without bureau
cratic direction and control
Next thing you know he will be ad-
vocating fidelity to the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights. and then he'll sure

Biggest Job of All

A London dispatch to The Star
yesterday reported that General
George c. Marshall. Chief of Staff,
might be selected as the Allied su-
preme commander in the Western
European theater, apparently des-
tined to be the most important
theater of operations in the war.
Every time there is speculation as to
the identity Of some new Allied COM
mander, General Marshall's name
ranks high on the list, especially
when the position is identified in
the public mind with an office COM
parable to that held by Marshal
Foch in the First World War as AL
lied generalissimo
All this is highly and deservedly
complimentary to General Marshall
Any command would be fortunate to
have him at the top. But such dis
cussion tends to overlook and, per-
haps unintentionally, to minimize
the tremendous Importance of his
duties, and his discharge of those
duties. as wartime Chief of Staff of
the United States Army. He is the
top-ranking officer of our military
services, primarily responsible for
raising, training, equipping and
flghting our Army. General Mar
shall has a faculty for selecting good
men. and he has chosen able lieu
tenants. But there are duties he
cannot delegate, which rest on his
shoulders alone.
Perhaps the most important of
these includes the perfection of the
practical military relationships be-
tween our Army and those of our
Allies, making possible the degree of
well-co- -ordinated teamwork which
has marked our operations with the
British and which will continue to
improve as the war goes on. A man
with less statesmanlike qualities, no

Critic Of Mr.. Kent
Blames Congress for Imitation.

To the Editor OF The Star:
1t is growing more and more tiresome
to read about the New Deal, left-wing,
labor lobbyist" plots which Frank r.
Kent discovers with amazing regularity.
Invariably he concludes that these in
sidious intrigues are aimed at the very
foundations of our republic and seek
to establish by adroit maneuvers q
fourth term, communistic regime"
No one questions that Mr.. Kent pos
sesses brilliant imagination, or that he
is capable of translating his visions into
readable copy, but fortunately for the
Nation and its people, the plots and con-
spiracies he conjures exist only in his
imagination and have little or no basis
in fact.
In his column of August %, Mr.. Kent
criticizes the insurance companies for
their passive submission to the fiscal
policies of the administration He
writes: THE truth is that in the past 10
years, when economic danger has arisen,
they (the insurance companies) have
been strangely, unintelligently and al
most completely impotent," and that the
companies have stood supinely by while
the very foundations on which the Sc
curity of their policyholders rests were
being sapped"
Mr.. Kent then queries, why were the
great custodians Of the economic secur-
ity of more than half the Nation inert
when that security was imperiled?"
Hewing strictly to his we'll established
line, he answers that the companies
failed to act because of their fear OF
New Deal reprisals." Contrary to his
New Deal bogeyman explanation, I am
sure he would learn by consulting readily
accessible facts and statistics that the
insurance companies have not been over
critical of the present administration.
They have been enjoying period of un-
paralleled prosperity for the past decade,
and are more than willing to maintain
the status quo. Furthermore, in con-
trast to Mr.. Kent's viewing with alarm
of New Deal economic heresies," the
insurance companies have no worry or
concern about the stability or solvency
of the Government.
Relieved that the insurance companies
finally have decided to enter the anti
imitation fight, Mr. Kent charges that
80 far the anti-inflation fight has not
been successful one. Obviously the
administration cannot be counted on to
take the adequate steps. 1t talks, but it
does not act"
Mr.. Kent am sure, is familiar with
both the Constitution and the legisla-
tive record chalked up by Congress in its
recent session. The executive branch
very definitely has had an anti-infation
program, but it is helpless to act if the
Congress does not make this program
into law Instead, we have witnessed
Congress passing, or attempting to pass
the following pro-inflationary legislation:
Eliminated the s25,0Oo ceiling placed on
salaries by the President prohibited
funds for crop insurance, cut severely
the appropriations for the Farm Secur-
ity Administration, reduced sharply the
appropriations for the OPA-keystone of
price and imitation control, and attempt
ed to limit or prohibit the use of CCC
funds for rollback OF prices. To this list

matter how high his professional
qualifications as soldier, might
easily have failed where General
Marshall has succeeded so we'll. Some
other duty may require his talents
in other fields. But it is hard to con-
ceive of any field more important to
the successful outcome of this war
than the one he now occupies with
such distinguished credit to himself,
to the Army and to his country.
