LETTERS To The EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
HAVE just received the clip
ping of an article published
Oct. 5 in your paper under the
title, lotion Garb Ready for
Tito"
appreciate your publicity Of
the part Detroit is playing in
furnishing clothing for relief OF
the extremely needy Yugoslavs.
However, / would like to point
out two errors reported in the
article, namely: 1 was not sent
to the United States by Marshal
Tito to appeal for aid. In fact,
as a merchant seaman, I felt
the obligation to make the ap-
peal after / saw those peoplel
forgotten by practically every
body.
The YugoSlav Merchant Ma
rine did not donate a ship to
transport the supplies. How.
ever, the Yugoslav Seaman's
Club of the u. S. A. organized
a group of volunteers to serve
as crew. These crew members
will serve without pay for this
entire trip and eventually more
trips.

TO THE EDITOR:

I WOULD like to let you know
i what we marines think Of
the strikes and the people that
cause them.
/ wonder if the people who
cause these strikes and those
who take part in them realize
just what they are doing TO our
country and to the boys who are
fighting and dying for them.
Some of us will never see
home again, and our people who
listen to racketeers or spies
are going TO cause some boy in
service not TO get home.
Maybe they do not realize IL,
but it might be your son or
husband or sweetheart.
/ have a very beautiful wife
and two lovely little girls that
/ want to come home to. and if
you people could see what is
going on over here you'd realize
there is a war on and you'd
help us boys TO get home to our
loved ones.
But, for every strike that hap
pens a few more of us boys
won't come home. (@\
You give us the tools and well
do the job. Won't you think
this over and give us a hand.

Postwar Air TRANSPORT

THE international civil aviation
l. conference in Chicago, which
opened with one strike called against
it because Russia refused to partici-
pate, has now experienced what ap-
pears to be the calling of the second
strike.
The Latin American delegations
have announced open and determined
opposition to what they interpret as
"big power" domination of postwar
civil air transport, offering an inter
national aviation program of their
own in which all participating ma
tons would have equal voting power
There seems to be general agree
ment among all nations, big and
small, that some sort of an inter
national organization or authority
should regulate postwar civil avia-
tion-that is, the transportation by
aircraft of one nation of goods and
passengers over the territories of
other nations.
But the difficulty inherent in the
attempt to make such an agency
EQUITABLE in its effect upon all
nations is very great .
A LII nations plead desire for equal
"A opportunities and advantages in
postwar civil aviation, because much
of the worlds commerce is destined
to move by air transport in the flu
ture and the nations making the
best use of air transport are going to
be the most prosperous nations.
Even the so-called "big" powers
assert desire for equity.
Great Britain, for instance, has
recently issued a white paper" on
international air transport, propos
ing an international air authority
consisting of the representatives of
the ratifying nations, with voting
powers to be determined on an equi
table basis"
But what process or method is to
determine an equitable" basis, and
particularly BY WHOM is it to be
determined?
The United States is not only
POTENTIALLY the greatest civil
air power in the world; but is in fact
that NOW.
The United States has the great
est air transport establishment in

We should have special care

conceivably and cynically do so to
our very great disadvantage.

Congress Should Help
Postal Employees
By BENJAMIN De CASSERES

~ of night stays these cOuriers from the swltT
completion of their appointed rounds" wrote the
father of history, Herodotus, 2400 years ago in
reference to the letter-carriers C'post-riders")
of Persia.
Herodotus thus paid his tribute to the oldest
and most necessary of our public services, the
post office
And what is true of the regularity and fidelity
to duty OF the postal workers OF Persia 24OO years
ago is truer even today of our far-flung postal
service and it's indefatigabe workers.
Which takes us from Herodotus to the Weiss
bill {H R. 4501) and the bill sponsored by Senator
Mead at the other end of the Capitol to provide
for permanent relief in hours and wages for these
our most operwerked and trustworthy civil
servants.
The Hearst papers for years have been max
ing efforts through their editorial columns to
obtain for our postal employees their due.
These efforts have brought at various times
from officials of the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks many letters of thanks to William
Randolph Hearst.
tpHE most recent one is from Howard W. Head,
L president of Local 800 Of the NFPOC.
1T is only through the support of men like
you that we can obtain anything in the way of
salary increase or justfiable rate of overtime"
says Mr.. Head. 4
That is fine tribute not only to Mr. Hearst
but also to the power of an independent, critical
and constructive American press.
Mr. Head takes up, in effect, the following
grievances of the postal employees in formal
statement:
Some Substitutes" have known no promotion
l. after 80 years of service.
C-The average clerk generally remains in the
= same position year after year.
O-"There is no further increase in salary
= cept through overtime
1.-The working year is 253 days, but the 40
bo1r low, foi1c IN
pay this basis
1.-The post office clerk is at this time working
- long hours and irregular ones, for the post
office is never closed"
c-Never was a high efficiency level of the postal
" employees more necessary than today when
they handle billions Of pieces of mail destined for
our servicemen overseas in addition to the routine
domestic work
MR. HEAD concludes his statement with this
4NA paragraph:
1--WE of the postal service are fighting on the
home front for benefits that will also benefit our
brothers in the service so that when they return
to this beloved America they may take up where
they left off, finding their positions in the post
office improved by anything that we may have :.
accomplished for them and for ourselves
That is patriotic and unselfish attitude.
Patriotism and unselfish adherence to duty
have, indeed always been the distinguishing
characteristics of these men in the post office.
They come nearer to our daily lives than any
other class of men in the country
Congress should Immediately pass the Weiss
Mead post office relief measures.
Our postal employees must not be underpaid
or overwOrked
They should have human hours and should be
paid higher wage than any other class Of civil
servant for their work is of profound and lasting
Importance to us ALL

RECKLESS USE OF MOTOR
VEHICLES

Declaring that many motor car
owners are closing all sense of per-
spective in wasteful and reckless use
of motor vehicles" Keystone Auto
mobile Club has issued warning
that crisis in transportation will
inevitably follow continuance of pre-
sent practices.
"Acutely conscious of the dwind-
ling stockpiel of Americas essential
motor cars, we feel impelled to warn
of impending disaster in the field of
private transportation, said J. Max
well Smith, President of the Club
This can be averted only if imme-
diate and continued steps are taken
by each individual car owner to con-
serve his vehicle for the duration of
the war and the years following
until such time as new vehicles are
rolling off The assembly lines"
Gwen the most casual observa-
tion," he continued, "discloses mark

for early termination of the world
conflict. There appears to be reck-
less disregard of consequences. And,
coincident with this change in atti-
tude is sharp decrease in the num-
Der of vehicles fit for operation Each
day thousands of cars are added to
the Nations scrap heap, many of
them needlessly.
Government concern in the stu
alton is reflected in tightening of
ration rules governing the transfer
and sale of 1912 automobiles, in the
imposition of ceiling prices on used
automobiles and in refusal to in
crease gasoline rations. N early
100000 motor vehicles went out
of use in 1942-43, and it is obvious
the mortality this year will be even
heavier unless drastic measures are
taken for car conservation.

SPORTSMEN MAKE
RECOMMENDATION

Realizing the Importance of secur-
ing the best possible replacement for
the vacancy to be created by the re-
tirement of State Game Warden E.
Lee LeCompte in October, commit
tee from the League of Maryland
Sportsmen headed by Glenn L. Mar
tin, President of the League, appear
ed before the annual meeting of the
State Game and Inland Fish Commit
tee.
"The League of Maryland Sports
men and the sportsmen of Maryland
appear to be unanimous in their re-
quest that LeCompte be replaced
with an experienced administrative
head well versed in the modern meth
DDS. of scientific wildlife manage
ment," Martin said to the Commits
sion
"Recreational hunting and fishing
are today, even in spite of the war,
big business" Martin pointed out.
They will be even bigger business
after the war and should be admins
tered as such. Thousands of dollars
are yearly left in our state by out-of-
state sportsmen, other thousands go
directly to the Department for the
purchase of hunting and fishing Ii
censes. Additional thousands are ex-
pended by Maryland citizens who
have long recognized the healthful-
ness of hunting and fishing"
The necessity for replacing Lee
Compile with a professional in the
wildlife management administrative
field was stressed by Martin
Giving an open, competitive ex-
animation to all applicants DESTROYS
of securing the position is the policy
endorsed by the League Martin
concluded.
