Stadium Committee in the offices
OF the Board of Trade at IL am.
tomorrow
Whole hearted approval of the
plan to build a national stadium Ca
pable of seating about 100000 Spec
tators also came today from Irving
G. Root, superintendent of National
Capital Parks. Mr.. Root pointed out
that his agency has no direct con-
nection with the construction of the
stadium and the development of the
area around it. After the 150-acre
sports center around Kingman Lake
has been completed, however, its
operation may fall under the juris-
diction of National Capital Parks.
r Stadium Is No. l Need.
I'm strong for the stadium" Mr..
Root said. Il think it's a necessity
and shouldn't be considered a lug
ury at all. We have long list of
things we need in the District. but
I'd put the stadium at the top of
the list.
Very few cities our size don't
have stadium. We should have
one better than any other city.
There is a great need for such a
project here"
Mr.. Root emphasized the posi-
bility of obtaining the international
Olympic games for Washington
when this competition is resumed
after the war.

one that is contemplated, We would

Ickes Says Oil Ration

Secretary of the Interior Ickes to-
day described as "unfounded and re-
grettable" reports that larger fuel
oil rations might be forthcoming in
the near future
Mr.. Ickes, as petroleum admins
TRAITOR for war, acknowledged that
stocks Of heating oil are greater by
$500 900 barrels in the East and
1000 900 barrels in the Midwest
than a year ago, but added in a
formal statement:
Because of increased require
ments, and because of the threat
ened transportation trouble, our
best estimate is that supplies will
be no more than enough to meet
military demands, plus civilian re-
quirements on the present rationed
basis
Mr.. Ickes reported that about
II 900 railroad tank cars that had
been serving the East Coast had
been transferred to other services

he said. The National Capital is
the logical place for a competition
of this kind
Recognizing its possible use as an
assembly for religious meetings, DR..
Frederick E. Reissig, executive sec
retary of the Washington Fedora
ton of Churches, said he believed
plans for a national stadium con-
stituted step in the right direc-
ton"
1T would be a very fine thing y
he commented. by all means we
ought to have it. The Capital City
should have something of this kind"
Dr. Reissig said he could envision
the use Of the stadium by the Prot
estant churches for some of the
larger religious events.
Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation
said he believed anything that will
improve the recrestional facilities
for the community of Washington
will be very healthy thing"
We don't provide enough of this
sort of thing for most of the citi-
zens of Washington" he SAID. "A
national stadium would enable us
to build cultural program which
would be contribution to the gen.
eral American community"
Civic, patriotic, business and re-
ligious groups are expected to add
their weight to the growing list of
Endorsements already given the
project by local societies. Funds for
the construction of the stadium,
which some persons have already
suggested should constitute a me-
mortal to the Nations fighting men,
would have to come from Congress.
Advocates of the program point
out. however, that the initial outlay,
estimated variously at from s3,50O,-
5000 to $1,000 900 would be more
than made up in the course of time
through the collection of rentals
for the use of the place
The first funds needed for the
project, according to A. E. Demaray,
executive officer of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, would be between $4,000
and $4,000 for the preparation
OF preliminary drawings as soon
as the size, type of structure and
exact location have been decided
on. Later about per cent of the
overall cost of the stadium would
have to be set aside for final work
ing blueprints. Mr.. Demaray said
Funds for postwar construction
planning already have been re-
quested by the agency, 1t was
pointed out.
We hope that if the Bureau OF
the Budget and Congress approve
the postwar planning funds we will
be able to get the preliminary plans
for the stadium from that source, ,

pressed belief the proclamation had
been written by some one other

The proclamation yesterday was
read by Heinrich Himmler, Gestapo

Official British sources, which
have always been cautions about
commenting on Hitler rumors in the
past, asserted the proclamation had
a "phony ring"

ice, Transocean, which is beamed for
strictly non-German consumption,

In reply to rumors circulating
abroad, authoritative circles in Ber-
lin state that the Fuehrer is in ex-

Al Performance Of
Big Super Fortress
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD,
Star staff Correspondent.

WICHITA, Kans. (Delayed)-We
flew higher than the loftiest noun
tain peak in the Americas during
the Army test flight Of BIO Super
Fortress-"up where the angels
sing in the words of an imagina-
tive waist gunner.
From the tip of the glassed-in
nose, where the bombardier custom
arily sits. one by one we looked
earthward more than $4,000 feet as
the air dreadnaught began a gradual
descent. Below us spread a scaled
map IN colors vast expanse of
Kansas and Oklahoma, seeming to
reach to the corners of the earth.
There was no feeling of insecurity
up there in the substratosphere, no
personal discomfort in the pres
surized compartment; only a sec
ond's unconscious bracing of feet
against the slight fitting of the
planes nose. One felt overcome
with wonderment that man could
build such ship, a deep-seated
consciousness of the men who, some
day soon, will be flying it across
the Pacific and over a flaming tar
get in Japan.
At Biggest BOeing Plant
Here at the biggest Of the Boeing
plants, where the daily production
of recent order for TOO additional
Super Fortresses is being stepped
up at feverish pace to meet the
needs of the Goth Bomber Com
mand, you are made to feel in
flnitely closer to the air war in
the Pacific. The fact that the Army
has just ordered 1000 more B-29s
from Boeing plants is evidence that
Gen. H. H. Arnold means business
when he says that I'VE are moving
step by step nearer and nearer to
Tokyo, until finally that time comes
when Japan will experience the
daily visit of thousands of bomberS."
The B-29s have been designated
to bear the brunt of "softening up"
Japan for the kill From general
comments it would appear that
many Americans believe the Supers
alone might end the Pacific war
with swift vengence. No such wish
full thinking, we found, is lodged in
the minds of the men who fly and
direct them.
I'VE are only a part of a team of
air, ground and sea power which
will win the wal" they declare
The B-29s can't do the Job alone
but you bet they will do their share
of it."
The writer was one of a group
given the privilege of riding in three
of the Super Fortresses during Off
clal Army acceptance tests. Later
We saw the B-29s roll off assembly
lines at the gigantic plant

Say, how much flying has this

easily as he squeezed through the
narrow passage into the rear waist
gunners' well. All of two hours"
was the none-too-reassuring reply.
But the Supers breed confidence.
You tense yourself needlessly for
the take off. The runways are the
longest in the world The B-29 is
slowing up now to turn about in the
wind and then stops. Except for a
pronounced shuddering of the glis-
tening silver frame as engine power
Is increased, you are scarcely aware

Labor Initiative and
The Carpenters

Socialists find themselves in fundamental disagreement with most
of a statement sponsored by William L. Hutchinson, Carpenters Union
General President, and released for publication with the approval of the
General Executive Board of that big union.
The statement, W e ar satisfied, is intended to aid the Republican
national machine. And our dislike for that objective about equals the
disapproval with which w re see other union forces being lined up for
the political support of Franklin D. Roosevelt in particular and other
Democrats in general.
We hold that the working people of this generation need to turn
their backs to both old parhes-because both aim to preserve the old
capitalist system OF human exploitation as the way of life after this war
ends. We assert that the nations workers need now, as never before, a
political party of their own, with a program that will not only "offer
temporary aid in specific situations" as the Hutcheson statement puts it,
but will aim at the complete elimination of all forms of labor explona-
ton.
And so, our hope is that the workers will organize a political party
OF their own, distinct and independent from both old parties of private
capitalism.
For, while we disagree with Hutchinson and his associates in gen
eral, we must endorse that section of the Carpenters statement which
warns that -
"The advantages of New Deal frindship have too often been over
weighed by its long-term threat to union self-reiance"
We have seen too many specific demonstrations of the fact that the
lord who gives can also take away" to believe that any gains that labor
may make by striking along with a benevolent apostle of the capitalist
class economy are going to be permanent.
We have not altered our opinion that the emancipation of the work
ing class is and must be the task of the workers themselves. We do not

u. S. Overrun With


It is impossible to estimate to what extent public opinion is nodded
and formed by the nations host of syndicated columnists. There can
be no doubt, however, that the nationally known columnists-those
whose daily articles are published in hundreds of newspapers through
out the country-are able to guide public thinking along certain chosen
channels and mold public opinion accordingly.
The growth of the syndicated column industry lis one of the marveIs
of modern times. No newspaper these days, however small, fails to
provide at least one columnist for its readers in each issue, while the
large city danies practically furnish them in carload lots. The three
Cincinnati daiies are al example, each of them featuring the ideas
opinions, prejudices, theories, muing and idle thoughts Of eight-count
EN-, eight-lmore or less brilliant thinkers in each and every issue, or
a grand total of tWenty-four. Four cover the political scene; three ex-
plain just how the a should be run; three analyze things in general;
two ire anti-everything, especially anti-labor; and the rest keep you up
to snuff on sex, sports, keyhole -peeping, psychology, and other such
odds and ends of everyday life.
Unfortunately, the majority of columnsts are not content to merely
gather and report and analyze the news of the day, allowing the reader
to draw his own conclusions; they have left off being reporters and
have become crusaders for Or against one thing or another. Unfortu-
nately, too, seldom, if ever, do they do any crusading in the interests
of the little fellow. It's usually the big interests whose cause they plead,
or in whose defense they grow indignant and abusive.
Although there undoubtedly are too many coumnists already, there
is a crying need for just one more - a sort of "super-columnist" who
would give us the low-down o. all the others-The Brewery Worker

the struggle that lies ahead. The
first step in erecting defenses
against the threatened attack is for
every trade unionist to register and
to see that members of his family
and friends do likewise. The cleo
ton this year will be fraught with
the greatest consequence to all who
toll, whether in factory or on the
farm, and every worker should
participate in it.
Safeguards to protect the nation
al interest against the peril pictur-
ed by Senator Bone can be estab-
lished at the ballot box. AS he says,
Congress cannot infuse social res
possibilities into the hearts of bust
ness executives, but it IAN make
obligations SO specific that neither
executives nor courts can mistake
them.-Labor.
