This comment from H. E. K. Of
Paola, Kans., is typical of scores
received recently: How can the
word right be compared? You gave
it as right, Fighter, rightest' All
my authorities say If thing is

The truth is, the whole matter
of comparisons is confused and il
logical. The word right (see Mer-
riam-WeSster's for right, Fighter,

term than true, false, straight, pure,

anything be truer than true, falser

knobs, whorls and bands give you
a clue, and there is also the color
pattern that is so faithfully followed
by each species.
This stroller with the stripped
home looks like a sizable shell for
collection. But this enlarged pic
ture was to show you how the small
fellow travels. Actually, he is only
one-half inch long!
He is a glossy little chink shell
with whitish ground color, and
banded with white and brown. He
is quite handsome and knowing in
his way of moving forward on his
bit of seaweed
This little horned winkle, or chink,
is found in all cold waters Of the
northern hemisphere, including New
England and the cost Of the North
west.
In the genus Lacuna is found the
chink shells. They are thin, round
or turbinate and covered with a
thin skin. The aperture is crescent
shaped, the columella with grove
or chink The lip is sharp, the oper-
culum thin and spiral.
The gait of the chink is slow and
rather shaky. This is caused by the
fact that one side of the foot moves
forward as the other side holds fast.
There is minute gland in the foot
that manufactures copious amounts
of slime for the chink.
A closeup reveals the eyes on the
swellings at the outer bases of the
long slender tentacles. The snout
is short but wide, and the tongue,
or radula, is long and narrow.
Our little chink Is a vegetarian,
and his rasping tongue-about three
times the length of his body-has
900 rows Of sharp, curved triscuspid
teeth on 1t. That is why it is like
rasp, scraping off algae as 1t moves
along. For this reason, periwinkles
and other round-mouthed snails
play an important part where oyster
beds are established. They NOV
down the algae.
Reproduction is by eggs laid in
masses on the rocks and seaweeds.
They merely show up as dark
splotches. But there are foes that
find them, and the chinks are clever
in making them as inconspicuous
as possible.

The odd thing about all these oppo-
nents of national service act is that
they are uniformly in favor of anti
strike legislation. Yet antistrike leg
islation is much greater threat to
civil liberties than is a national service
act. Antistrike legislation does the one
thing which Is inadmissible under any
concept of democratic civil liberties. It
singles out one class of the population,
labor and strips it of its civil right to
strike. On the scale of pure" civil lib
critics, antistrike legislation is horror.
A national service act, on the con-
trary, makes all adults subject to COM
pulsory war service. 1t merges the strike
issue into the larger issue of universal
mobilization. 1t is general legislation,
not special legislation. 1t does not al
low labor to strike, but it does not allow
a normal, healthy, unpregnant woman
to devote herself to the care and feed
ing of Pekingese dogs, either, at time
when the Army and Navy desperately
need female recruits.
The same law which would prevent
strikes could also be used, for example,
to place a 4-F in useful war job, an
obligation from which he is excused
under our present laws.
In other words, under a national
service act, we don't throw valuable
human resource away because it Is
female, or because it has a punctured
ear drum. Under our existing laws any
person whom the Army cannot, for any
reason, take, is free as the air to thumb
his or her nose at the whole war.

is significant, because hitherto the
Germans have worked with three army
groups in Russia directly co-ordinated
by the high command. They have not
appointed a separate commander for
Russia simply because the Russian front

army general staff as It's main, almost

served the President and his party in
many capacities. He became Postmaster
General when James A. Farley resigned
that ONCE, and he took on reluctantly
the national Craftsmanship when Edward
J Flynn, who had succeeded Mr. Farley
as chairman, resigned about year ago.
1t Is well understood that Mr.. Walker has
desired to relinquish the chairmanship
for some time
Presumably a change in the chairman
ship at this time would mean that the
new chairman would continue en-
through the coming presidential cam
paign. He would have a six-month pc
riod to famiharize himself with the
national organization and what it has
to do and how 1t works. This would be
an advantage over thrusting a new man
into the picture after the presidential
nomination has been made in July If
this be true, 1t is just another indication
that the Democratic nominee will again
be President Roosevelt. If another can

all likelihood pick his own chairman, as
other candidates have done in the past.

Samuel Grafton

Those Senators who are babbling that
an antistrike law is an adequate sub
stitute for national service act are not
defending civil liberties; they are killing
the civil liberties of one group, in order
lation privileges which are grotesque in
wartime.
If labor's leadership were less inept
politically, it would have realized long
since that support Of a national service
act was by far its safest course. Labor
is afraid to lose the right to strike"
But it has lost it. The right to strike
is phantom as of this moment. Who
believes that it really exists? BY spon-
soring national service, labor would have
merged its problem with the general
problem; labor and its grandmother and
the boss healthy young daughter would
have been placed under precisely the
same obligation; all to be repealed later,
simultaneously, at the same stroke BY
fighting national service, labor has anna
teurishly let itself be tagged for special
service.
Let labor roll over on its tongue the
fact that some of the worst labor
haters in the country are as one with
its own leaders in fighting national
service, in the name of civil liberties.
They know what they are doing, but
the labor leaders, perhaps, do not They
want to protect civil liberties only by a
law saying that nobody" has the right
to strike; which sounds impartial, like
the law that forbids both rich and poor

II the Soviet government insists that
the government-in-exile guarantee terri
torial readjustments the cabinet will be
ready to discuss the issue within the
limitations Of the Polish constitution.
Moscow has been emphasizing the fact
that the Soviet constitution has incor-
porated the Baltic states and parts of
Poland into the Soviet Union. Russia
has solemnly warned against any inter-
ference with the organic law Of the
country.
The Poles maintain that they also
have constitution which places certain
limitations on what government can

The chief point in the Polish-Soviet
dispute, however. is the apparent de-
termination Of Moscow to ignore the
existence Of the Polish government-in-
exile.
The situation, as seen from London, is
this:

that the old Curzon line, which would
give Russia about 10000 square miles of
the Polish republic, must form the

Institute of History

Many readers of The Star have
been interested to hear of the estab-
lishment of the Institute of Earlv
American History and Culture. It
represents the collaboration of the
College of William and Mary and Co.
lonial Williamsburg. The one
agency is the second oldest institu-
ton of higher learning in the United
States, and the other is the admin
1strative organization which man
ages the restoration of the eight
eenth-century capital Of Virginia,
endowed by John D. Rockefeller, jr.
Working together, they seek to make
real new appreciation of the past
of the American Nation.
Such an enterprise obviously is
wanted and should be helpful. For
a while, perhaps as a result of the
importation of European ideas and
Ideals in the period of accelerated
immigration between 1870 and 1925
and again in more recent years,
there was trend toward the dis
paragement Of the sources of the
culture of the United States. That
movement away from tradition was
manifest in architecture, dress de-
sign, painting and sculpture, litera-
ture, the arts of the theater, even
political economy and government.
Some of its characteristics were de-
plorable. Perhaps the most ridicu-
lous OF them was the pretenSe of
gifted native American musicians
that they were Italians or Russians
Meanwhile, few persons with a
genius for perspective held fast to
the conviction that the modes and
manners of life of which George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson
were eXemplars deserved to survive.
They enlisted Mr.. Rockefeller's aid,
and the restored Williamsburg is a
fruit of their enthusiasm and his
philanthropy. But the revival of the
ancient Colonial capital merely as a
show place." an outdoor museum
OF a sort, was not enough to meet
the existing need. The late DR..
Charles Mclean Andrews and other
scholars desired to set up founda-
ton which should endeavor "to keep
before the American people a clear
knowledge and understanding of the
development of this Nation in it's
progress toward political, economic
and social democracy" It was their
belief that: Every American will
be better citizen by virtue of GER
tain knowledge of the early years
and of the founders of this Nations S
development" The media to be en-
ployed in the efforts include Will

has made clear that 1t wants to have
nothing to do with the "reactionary"
Polish government-in-exile, because, the
Russians say, 1t does not represent the
Polish people
The Poles in London maintain that
they are the only representative gov
eminent until such time Is Poland Il
liberated and free elections can be held.
BY free elections the Polish government
means elections held without the pres
ence OF Russian troops on Polish ter
ritory.
The Moscow charge that the govern
ment-in-exile is reactionary is being
refuted. Polish Premier Stanislaw Myk-
olojczyk is the leader Of the very DEM
ocratic peasant party and Vice Premier
Jan Kwapinsky Is . social democrat
who has spent many years Of his life
as political exile in Siberia because Of
his advanced political views.
On the whole, 1t can be said safely
that the government-in-exilei is as repre-
sentative Of the Polish people as any
such government can be.
1t Is obvious to some observers in
London and Moscow that the Soviet gov
ernment des1reS TO put its own people
in the Polish cabinet and the only con-
cession 1t is willing to make is to resume
diplomatic relations with the govern
ment-in-exile on the basis Of a complete
revamping Of the cabinet in accordance
with the Kremlin's wishes.
There are sufficient Soviet thiz-
ing Poles in Moscow today who are will
ing to serve in the cabinet in London.
They can be flown without difficulty to
pro-Soviet England to form a govern
ment similar to that organized by Mar
shall Tito in Yugoslavia. On this point,
however, reliable reports from London
say the Polish government is definitely
unyielding.
Since last Monday daily meetings
have been held between the Poles and
Foreign Secretary Eden to discuss this
vital point. The Poles maintain that
yielding to such demand from Moscow

are few signs that the Germans are
getting ready for an evacuation of Es-
tonia and Latvia. these signs do not
suggest that such evacuation is i'm
minent. 1t Is quite possible that the
Germans are going to try for the
present to hold what might be called a
"switchline" based on the Orsha -Minsk-
Brest Litovsk railway. This would leave
their northern front as at present, and
their southern front meanwhile might
stabilize either on the Bug or the
Dneister, The result of this would be
that the German line would have
great salient driven into its center, like
a v on its side. with its apex pointed
toward Warsaw. The space between
two arms of the v would be largely
occupied by the Pripet Marshes.
It will take great deal Of skill and
cool-headed leadership to get the Ger
man armies back to such line without
prohibitive losses. London reports tell
us that such leadership is being provided
by the transfer of Marshal Karl Won
Rundstedt, probably Germany's ablest
field commander, from the western
front to be commander in chief on the
Russian front. He is not, according to
these reports. merely to replace Marshal
Won Mannstein in command of the
southern group Of armies, but will be

Wants Gov. Dewey to Give
Views on Foreign Affairs.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is evident at this writing that Gov.
Dewey of New York bids fair to receive
the nomination for President at the
Republican convention but six months
away. Wendell Willkie is running a
close second, according to the various
polls as of today. While considerable
water may run over the dam between
now and convention time, which might
conceivably change the present picture,
it is definitely not too early for every
citizen of our country to want to know
just where every potential candidate
stands on the vital questions of today.
Although Gov. Dewey has stated that
he would not be a candidate, the cur
rent news reports seem to indicate that
he is far from being unsusceptible to
the pleadings OF a group within the
Republican party. Il do not choose to
run" has not yet caused any one to
refuse the nomination when it was
offered. The danger that lies in such
a stand now assumed by Gov. Dewey
is that this is no usual or normal elec-
ton year. Serious, far-reaching issues
face our country at this time, and it is
most essential that every possible can
didate for the presidency make known
now just where he stands.
1t is most essential that we know
now, Republicans and Democrats alike,
what each candidates position is as to
international cooperation after the war.
I raise this particular issue in view of
the fact that there still remain in the
Republican party too many, entirely too
many, isolationists.
In view of Gov Dewey's position, he
should declare himself definitely on the
future national and international poll
cies OF our Government, unless, of
course, he chooses to come out with q
plain unequivocal mo" to the question
of his candidacy, regardless of whether
or how it might be offered to him. We
know where Mr.. Willkie stands.

Veterans Education

President James B. Conant of
Harvard University, in the text of
his annual report just released for
publication, has discussed a number
OF questions of particular interest to
soldiers and sailors and their
families. At the conclusion of the
war, he says, "the academic world
will have to recover from a shock
of severity not before experienced
IN our history" BY the statement
so phrased he dramatizes the results
OF DETECTING student personnel to
the armed services and their auxil-
iaries for the duration. "The United
States will face the problems of the
postwar world with a totally made
quate supply of college and univer-
sity graduates in the age group from
twenty-one to twenty-five. To have
this deficit made good is clearly of
paramount Importance to the
country"
An obvious corrective, as DR..
CoLant sees IL, IS Federal financing
OF "the future education of care
fully selected number of returned
veterans for three or four years"
Such help, he believes, will make it
possible to wipe out the educa-
tional deficit created by the war and
give renewed vitality to our funda-
mental doctrine of equality of op-
portunity for all" Opposing Fed
eral administrative control" and ia
voring "a State-managed" program,
he nevertheless insists: Care must
be taken to avoid barriers against
veterans studying outside their own
States. The crossing of State boun-
daries in our educational process is
of great value in breaking down
provincialism. It is one of the ways
by which in normal times q sense
