From the South Bend Tribune.
One shortcoming of the American peo-
pie is that they do not give their Con-
gressmen opinions on activities in Con-
gress How can Congressman know
what his constituents desire him to do
when great problems arise if they fail
to communicate with him? In other
words, write your Congressman and help
him to form his opinions.

Criticizes Commentator

AIluClZeS commentator
To the Editor Of The Star:
Some of our radio commentators are
trying to make opinion instead of in
terpreting 1t. Frankly, I am tired of
one commentators constantly shooting
off his mouth against Gen. Macarthur.
When he makes the statement, There
are great many people here in the
United States of America who don't like
Macarthur" and when he says that is
why Macarthur has not had a great
warm welcome homecoming "a man too
busy fighting the war and now securing
the peace to take time out for return
to the United States) this so-called
commentator reminds me of a small
mongrel dog, barking and snarling at a
proud lion who does not notice the
impertinance.
No one has told off" Gen. Mac
Arthur, as this commentator says, nor
have we the right to do so. Has any
man in this war done more with less or
held more tenaciously to a purpose than
Gen. Macarthur?

United Nations World Peace Con-
ference being held in San Francis
co =. Il wonder" said one
thoughtfully; what Washington.
or Lincoln, would say if they were
sitting there with those men" &.
Washington, or Lincoln? Why
not wonder what the Master Him
self would say . His words, so
simple, man fails to give them any
thought; so true, man does not lit
orally accept their meaning, would
fall with a strange sound upon the
ears of such a sophisticated gath
ering -. and yet, to one who
listens with the inner ear, the
Masters words could be heard
softly spoken above the hubbub OF
the World Peace Conference,
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Not
until men have learned to hear
those words, can the world ever
hope for permanent peace, though
it hold ten thousand peace confer
ences Our next great battle
must be with ourselves, for only
when we have conquered the seeth-
ing hatreds that sweep the world
can peace have any permanent
meaning.
The three year old son of a
couple we'll known on Main
Street, has learned early to
face facts and make decision
accordingly -. He hates to
wear a bib, but is never al
lowed to eat without one-and
has finally accepted the fact
:. Mamma" he called, COM
ing in hungry and breathIess

my damn bib"
Seen on a country road that leads
toward Main Street, early Monday
morning A black boy seated
on a log, playing a harmonica, sur
rounded by a group of admiring
pickaninnies "A foot tapped out
the rhythm, and presently pick

clapped in time and voice caught
up the refrain "If trouble come

amt no friend to me A.. jes' as
happy as can be. l gwine stay dat
way-an' hide de key" :. The
sun shone down upon the scene
and made little golden clouds of the
dust raised by the dancing &.
One could almost believe, watching
the happiness created from so lit
tie, that the Negroes really knew
how to lock their doors against
trouble.

(Continued from Page D working firms. Knitting mills and garment firms have indicated a de. sire to expand, it was reported.
 Mrs. Dewey said that many oi the firms seem to have enough ma terial to carry on production for six or eight weeks. and it was hoped that during that time the mills would be able to step up output enough to supply additional mate rials, without a break in the fabri- eating work.
 Lack of sufficient labor in the metal mills has been chief problem in reconversion in the area, and many firms which otherwise would be ready to produce civilian goods can nob do so because the mills can not supply the necessary ma terial fast enough, it has been re- ported.
 Optimistic
 Since thousands of Waterbury $ women workers did not hold jobs III pGdCc-GlIllC, IllC ldy~O1Ao nay AlOu have as sharp effect as might other wise be expected. Scores of women workers have already expressed the intention of remaining in their homes once they are released from their war jobs.
 The area WING director stated that after reconversion has been com- pleted, many of the discharged women may be recalled.
 The greatest portion of the anti- cipated releases is expected to come in the large plants which now hold the heavy war contracts.
 Special Survey
 The special WING survey of the 55 firms covers all of the main manufacturing plants of the area. Mrs. Dewey said the government of flee has not yet contacted firms which employ under 25 persons. and that the preliminary study has been limited to the larger concerns.
 No comment was made as to the proportion of men who will be dis placed with termination of war con- tracts. It is believed, however, that a wide call for additional help in mills will be issued when lay-offs of men start.
