To the Editor of Tall Towers The May-Bailey Limited National Service Bill now before the United States Senate contravenes the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which expressly pro- hibits slavery involuntary servitude in the United States except punishment for crime It would intro duce into this country labor system that in every fundamental respect would be identical with that Of Nazi Germany. For men to be conscripted in time of war into the armed services is thing for men to be conscripted into privately owned ndustry-and their forced labor used to gain profits for the ownersquite another. War is for President and Congress to introduce legisated desposm in the United States even in a limited"
 Last spring a wave of protests swept the country when national service (more accurately known as the labor draft brought up in Congress- and the pro posal seved Now the President has urged and the House of Representatives has passed limited national service" bll There yet time however for the working people of Connecticut to write to Senator Bren Mcahon and inform him of the unconSttutonality of the May Bailey bill and of their opposition to any form of national service, matter how limited or amended The men III the armed forces of the United States supposedly fight ing slavery in foreign lands will not expect to return to Nazified America In this emergency it is well to recall the words of Abraham Lincoln: T bid the laboring people beware of surrendering the power which they possess and which, if surrendered will surely be used to shut the door of advancement for such they and fix new disabilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost" Very truly yours, Joseph C.

House Passes Pay Bill
For Phone Operators

The House today passed swiftly
and sent to the Senate a bill to raise
the pay of Capitol telephone opera
tors to a base of $1,000 annually,
ranging up to 5000 a year for the
chief operator.
The measure was introduced Mon
day by Chairman Cochran of the
House Committee on Accounts, and
was favorably reported by the COM
mittee yesterday. 1t passed within
few minutes after being called up
for action today when Mr.. Cochran
warned that telephone service on the
Capitol switchboard might be dis
rupted soon unless I'VE do some
thing to correct complaints of low
pay.
Capitol operators have been get
ting base pay of 81 $50 year, with
the chief operator receiving $2,74O
and the assistant chief operator
$1,000, plus an additional Is per
cent, minimum of $500, extra COM
pensation under the special wartime
pay law.
The $1,000 base pay provided by
the new bill would be increased by
$50 for those with i've years service,
by $120 after 10 years, $3.50 after Is
years, $3.50 after 20 years and $24O

Representative Smith
Favors River Tunnels

Proposals for construction Of
tunnels instead of new Potomac
River bridges may win the sup
port of Representative Smith, Dem
ocrat, of Virginia, he indicated to-
day
He said he believed tunnels to
replace the old highway and rail-
road bridges would be preferable
to further bridge construction. He
said tunnels would offer greater
safety in wartime and less inter-
ference with the scenic approaches
to the Capital, but was afraid the
cost might be excessive.
Mr.. Smith added that he was
considering introduction of a bill
calling for engineering studies to
determine the feasibility of tunnel
construction and it's cost. If tun-
nels should prove impractical, he
said he would favor building two
four-lane bridges as proposed by
the District Commissioners, rather
than the single six-lane span ad-
vocated by the National Capital
Park Planning Commission.
His comment came as Chairman
Bilbo of the Senate District Com
mittee called for reports from En-
gineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz, the Park and Planning Com
mission and the District engineers
office of the Army on his tunnel
proposal.
