On Mission Editorial and Cartoon.
10 the Editor OF The Star:
There was misunderstanding in your

to imply that The Star had any hostility
to Russia. but that the principal critics
Of the film and those who organized a
loud outcrv at the start. even before
they had seen the film" as Time said in
cluded some of the most implacable enc
mics OF the Soviet Union in this country.
one OF them said. in fact. in semi-
public statement, that 1T would be hard
to ind any one in this country who hated
the Soviet Union as much as he did y
Eugene Lyons was one Of the most active
critics OF the film. His hostility TO Rus
Sia is we'll known.
Your comment reatfirms the charges
about fragrant distortion OF fact" the
attempt to deceive the people through
o1eRSive propaganda techniuues :"
charges which people who know the
film. the book and Russia believe are
not justified. The selection omission and
readjustment of actual events. neces-
sary for an intelligible moving picture,
do not falSlfy the essential truths.
l objected to the cartoon because it
showed Ambassador Davies with q mov-
ing picture camera, gleefully reporting a
policy which you regard as fraudulent
and as inimical to this country. If it
were so. Ambassador Davies would have
nothing whatever to do with it. More
over, inasmuch as Ambassador Davies
has not made any public announcement
about the dissolution of the Third In
ternational. Is it not distortion of fact
to show him in a role propa gandizing
the Russian point Of view?
ARTHUR UPHAM POPE.
Curfew on Essential Driving" Proposed
As Alternative to A Book Ban.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Without intent to present myself as a
side-line expert who has all the answers
our present administration planners
should present, I cannot help but feel
that there are several screws loose in
the planning of our gasoline rationing
of today
Preceding the current gasoline ra-
tioning program have been accustomed
to driving from 1000 to 5000 miles per
month, and more than 60 per cent of this
mileage has been purely for personal
pleasure. Recognizing the critical need
for some regulation of gasoline consump-
ton, l have reduced the use OF my car
to what we term essential driving. Since
January l, l943, our total mileage has
not exceeded As miles per month We
have stuck with this plan despite the
fact that we seem to see around us an
indefinite amount Of chiseling. l admit
it Is increasingly hard to conform to our
present self-imposed plan in the face Of
apparent cheating, to say nothing Of
the war of nerves carried on by the gaso-
line control agencies.
The recent announcement that we A
book holders soon will loose that last
"a gallons Of gasoline is the last straw.
The press certainly is powerful enough
to bring logic and reason to bear on
those who are responsible for the con-
troll OF gasoline consumption. Believing
this to be true, I address this appeal to
you.
Last Friday evening between 10 and
1890 O'Clock my wife and I stood at the
intersection of Wisconsin and Massa-
chusetts for approximately is minutes
Evening star., 1943-06-30

waiting for bus. During this period
We amused ourselves bv counting the
cars passing back and forth on Masss- -
chusetts and guessing on what their
mission might be. We counted 100 cars
IN approximately Is minutes. We noted
one car, occupied by one person, carry
Ing medical Identification emblem.
Four cars with embassy tags passed by.
All other cars carried from two to Ave
persons. 1t was our opinion that none
OF these, excepting those identified as
embassy and medical, were being used
for essential driving.
Such observations as these do not pro-
mote desire to conform to restrictive
regulations. I presume there are thou-
sands OF other car owners with A books
who are restricting the use of their cars
just as we have been doing However,
our position could be made much easier
II some intelligent and workable plan
could be devised for forceably controlling
those who will not volunteer in a control
plan.
One thing could be done partially to
control this situation. In this area there
Is relatively little. If any. need for any
car owner to be operating his car after
pm. We certainly have no essential
war work going on after that hour. If
thls presumption Is true, why can't we
nave a curfew on cars applied at pm.
and force them off the streets? There
MIC ht be- other hours of ho
private cars could be called off the road
1t occurs to me that car owners who
get B and c ration books on the strength
OF their need for essential driving should
be required to write on the windshield
Stlckers the hours of the day when this
essential driving would take place. If
this were done, enforcement officers
could see at glance whether the driver
was violating the provisions under which
he secured his extra gasoline.
l believe a practical method could be
devised and enforced before we "saps"
who are trying to do the right thing are
compelled to put our cars in storage for
the duration. Proper authorities should
try to get effective regulations in opera
ton and end this cheating, chiseling and
war VI nerves. JAMES E. PIXLEE.
Water Shortage Anticipated
Because Of Alleged Neglect.
To the Editor OF The Star:
1t now looks as though the local COM
munity is going to suffer from a severe
water shortage owing to the procrasti-
nation of those in charge of securing
additional water supplies for the city.
II the present hot weather continues. a
drought is in prospect. And during the
last drought our water supply ran dan
gerously short. The city since has
nearly doubled in population without
any corresponding increase in our water
supplies 1t is to be hoped that, when
the authorities place restrictions on the
use Of water they will prohibit the water
ing Of lawns while still permitting the
watering of Victory gardens. Otherwise
lot OF food will go to waste when our
Victory gardens dry up.
