Lobor Will Fight
From the Topeka Capital.

The country has already seen e>
amples Of men striking because W.T.
orders were filled and the workers r.
fused to 60 to other plants. But VIZ
production cannot be maintained fo-
ever. A great many plants and factoris
must either close or operate on reduced
schedules. This will mean fewer en-
ployes in existing plants. And, unles
employment is provided elsewhere thee
will be men and women out of jobs.
Labor. having gained the highet
wages and the shortest hours in histoy,
is expected to make q fight to retan
these advantages. If the present a.
ministration remains In power anotrtr
four years, there will be no doubt tht
organized labor will be given furthr
encouragement-no matter how may
other people get hurt in the process

Complains About Critics

A<OIIpIdIHS @AOOul NINlCS
To the Editor of TIE STAR
Some opportunists, politicians, GER
tain self-styled news commentators, foul
the airways of America and certain
newspapers openly or by insinuation dis
seminate propaganda to the effect that
this war is being prolonged for political
purposes until after the November elec-
tions
These smearsters attack and impugn
the honor and integrity of the. chosen
leaders and personnel of our Govern
ment and armed forces. This includes
such outstanding men as Macarthur,
Eisenhower, Marshall, Nimitz, Halsey,
Doolittle, Bradley. Patton and every
man and woman in the armed forces
plus millions Of other loyal Americans
who are exerting every effort to win this
war and secure the peace.
Smearing is not the way of true
Americans. The multitude OF Amer
leans are fair-minded, honest individ-
uals. II free speech and a free press
are to survive, they must echo the roar
of that multitude.

Letters to The Star
Readers Criticize Plan to Use
Square 81 for Hospital
q 81. rd,tnr A. m. ss.r.

To the Editor Of The Star:
As property owner In square 81, and
informally representing other property
owners and neighbors In that block, I
wish to protest against the changing OF
the plans for the site OF the new G. w. U.
hospital from the square bounded BY
Twenty-second, Twenty third, q and H
streets to the square bounded by Twen-
ty-second, Twenty-third and streets
and Pennsylvania avenue.
Fully half the property in the first
mentioned SQUARE has been acquired by
the school and all the buildings located
therein have been razed. Construction
could start at once.
However, 1t now appears, according to
recent news articles, that square 81 is
to be takeh over as the site, and this
means the tearing down of Al dwellings
and five stores, and the resultant dis
possession Of some 500 people from their
homes. 1t means tearing down st. Pauls
Episcopal Church and the Plaza Apart
ments. 1t means the location Of the
hospital on streetcar line, with other
noisy traf1ic. The original site, above
mentioned, is in much quieter location.
Since no one at G. w. will admit
knowing anything about the matter,
will some one who knows kindly en-
tighten us? Are We to get no more in
formation than appears In the press
about matter that affects us so vitality?
We are not against progress but want
things done in straightforward and
sensible manner. G. r. COOLEY.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Regarding the taking of square 81 at
Washington Circle for q hospital, as
reported in The Star OF Friday last:
George Washington University owns the
greater part of square 10 bounded by
Twenty first, Twenty-second, G and H
streets, which adjoins the block on
which the main buildings Of the Uni
versity are located. 1t also owns large
part of square 56, G and H and Twenty
second and Twenty-third streets, three
contiguous blocks well away from the
heavy traf1ic which flows around WASH
ington Circle at all hours of day and
night.
Square 70 has a greater area than
square 81.
The Pennsylvania avenue square con-
tains one Of the oldest churches in the
city, one large apartment house and q
spaller one, some business establish
ments. Most of the homes in this block
house many war workers and Army and
Navy personnel.
The businessmen and property owners
in square 81 are not going to have their
businesses and homes taken away from
them without recourse to the courts.
This proceeding will cause great delay
in getting possession.
Meanwhile George Washington Uni
versity owns most OF square 10, a part OF
which is vacant land, so that construc-
ton work could be started at once.

Little Steel Formula

The prediction by CIO President
Philip Murray that the Little Steel
formula would be revised upward
within week tends to confirm cur
rent rumors that the President, prior
to election day, will abandon the
wage controls which have formed
an essential part of the country's
wartime stabilization program.
Mr.. Murray did not say where or
how he got his information. But
the fair inference is that it came
from the War Labor Board or the
President, since 1t is most unlikely
that he would make such a state
ment unless he were very sure Of
his ground:
II Mr.. Murray is right, however,
it follows that the President, on the
eve Of an election in which he will
depend heavily on labor support, has
decided to scrap his own stabilization
program and his own implicit pledges
to stand by that program. This
would be regarded as a subordination
OF the national interests to his own
personal political interests, and it
would be difficult to justify any other
Interpretation.
The labor demand for abandon
ment Of the Little Steel formula has
been based on the claim that living
costs have risen to such an extent
that the workers cannot maintain
decent living standards without
higher basic rates of pay. The
record shows, however, that indus
trial wages have increased from So
billion dollars in l941 to so billion
In 1943. The record also shows that
the savings of workers have risen to
unprecedented levels, which OF itself
refutes the claim that they cannot
maintain their living standards on
their present earnings.
More to the point, however. are
the official statements which have
been spread upon the record. On
April s, l943, the President, in his
hold the line" order, said: ITO hold
the line we cannot tolerate further
increases in prices affecting the cost
Of living or further increases In
general wage or salary rates except
where clearly necessary to correct
substandard living conditions. The
only way to hold the line is to stop
trying to find justiflcations for not
holding 1t here or not holding it
there"
A year later, on the first ami
versary Of this order. Joint state
ment was issued by Fred NJ Vinson,
director Of economic stabilization:
Price Administrator Chester Bowles,
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones and William H. Davis, chair
man OF the Labor Board. Their
statement said: "The general level of
the cost Of living has not been per-
mitted to rise. Indeed, the cost of
living as a whole is slightly lower
than 1t was a year ago today"
When Mr. Roosevelt signed the
renewal of the Price Control Act
on June 80 of this year, less than
three months ago, he said that the
fight against imitation had been
generally successful; that price in
creases in some commodities had
been matched by roll-backs in the
prices of other items.
That is the record. If the Presi-
dent should now give the signal for
preaching the wage -stabilization
formula the country will better
understand what AFL President
William Green meant when he said
in August that he would seek a
conference with Mr., Roosevelt in
early September so that the Presi-
dent would have "plentv of time he

Col. Howe Remembered

To the Editor of The Star:
This bird Kent-like Lawrence-is 80
wrong most of the time that it is funny.
In his article in The Star for Septem-
Der II he gives one reason for not elect
ing Republican and makes one nat
misstatement of fact. He refers to
"3, 900, 900 whose continuation on
the payroll depends on the continuation
of Mr.. Roosevelt in the White House"
In other words, If Dewey should be
elected President, 100000 people-at
least half of them old-line civil serv-
ice employes-would be thrown to the
wolves to make jobs for loyal Repub-
licanss
Again, Kent forgets all about Col
Louis McHenry Howe lone of whose
assistants had the honor to be in 1882 :,
who did more for Roosevelt than Jim
Farley ever thought of doing. Farley
did the leg work and the glad-handing-
Howe furnished the brains and ran the
campaign. Also he could say no" and
make it stick.
If Louis Howe were alive today Mr..
Roosevelt would not be surrounded by
such men as Hopkins and Niles-and we
all would be better off. ACHATES.
