Argues for One.Fourth Increase
To the Editor of The Star:
Congress is talking Of raises" for
Federal workers. Yet at present 1t looks
as though Government employees actu-
ally will face a cut in salaries at time
when prices are continuing to rise.
The base pay Of Federal workers has
not increased since 1923: it averages
less than $1,700. - But BIS says that
the minimum income necessary for a
single woman worker to live in health
and decency" is 81 ,925.
Overtime pay at the rate of time and
one-twelfth Gin spite of the Federal law
requiring private employers to pay time
and one-half) temporarily has increased
salaries by 81 per cent But Civil Service
Commissioner Flemming says that over
time will be eliminated in the next few
months.
Expenses. meanwhile, have increased
by far more than 81 per cent We all
know that prices of commodities have
risen-whether we take the BIS figure
OI 20 per Ccnt, The WILD inquire Oh 5U
per cent, or the AFL-CIO figure (Which
considers quality deterioration) of 43.5
per cent. In addition to prices, other
expenses to Federal workers have in
creased: they pay at least 20 per cent
more for taxes, 2 per cent additional
retirement deductions, about 10 per
cent for additional expenses due to
longer hours, not to mention War Bond
deductions of at least 10 per cent. These
expenses will continue, and War Mobi-
hzer Vinson reports that prices Of goods
will not fall but will continue to rise.
This is no time to talk of salary in
creases of only Is per cent. Fifteen per
cent means that Federal salaries will
be cut only" 6 per cent when overtime
is eliminated-yet half of all Federal
workers already cannot make ends meet.
The defeat of Japan is still on the
agenda, and Congress must make it
possible for Government workers to
stay on the job. Base pay increases
of no less than IS per cent are there
fore not merely desirable. They are an
urgent necessity

Letters to The Star
Urges Regional Organizations
in Behalf of Peace

To the Editor of The Star:
After World War I, Winston Churc-
hill said prophetically: "The war of the
giants has ended. The war Of the
pigmies is about to begin" The geog-
the addition Of scores of new national
boundaries which produced scores Of
possible new conflicts.
Now, at the end of the major por-
ton of World War II, we might well
say, THE war against the devil has
ended. The war among the angels is
about to begin"
The four major powers, underneath
the public protestations of agreement,
have mutually contradictory concepts
of an ideal world; Russia with her eco
nomic socialism and political totai-
tarianism; China with her idea of
superior and older culture, and desire
to be strong industrially and in armed
might; Great Britain with her chang
ing but nevertheless convinced concept
of empire; and the United States with
her vague but equally strong ideas of
peace, justice, democracy, freer world
trade, and rule by law. A synthesis of
these concepts into new principles of
unity have not been achieved And the
pigmies of world politics, seeing a. pos
sible struggle for power among those
who would now make a permanent
peace, may revert to the old war-pro-
voking concepts of national self-de-
termination.
Such prospect however can be pre-
vented, If leaders have the will and
the imagination to anticipate the ma
ture of the problem. We can have
world peace, if we establish principles
and laws to guide the nations. They
must sacrifice part of their power to
do whatever they wish. World law and
treaties must make available to all
peoples certain basic needs such as the
resources, imports, technical aids, and
education which are necessary to
health. Power as between individuals
and nations, power in the sense of
relative degrees of prestige, income and
security, must be allotted according to
how they contribute to these needs.
War is a disease brought about by the
lack of certain basic needs. The United
States at least has the skills, technolo-
gies, and scientific abilities to overcome
the obstacles to the satisfaction of
these needs, not only here but in other
parts of the world The sort of power
which the smaller nations will accept
is the sort which we should use to
decrease their illiteracy, increase their
knowledge of medicine. industrial tech
nology and management, and their
capacity to help themselves. This sort
of policy we should offer them as an
alternative to various types of domina-
ton presented by other major powers.
They would pay us with goods and
materials for constructive help.
A Middle East Arab federation. in
dorsed by Dorothy Thompson, is a
type of regional organization through
which such a policy could be i'm
plemented. 1t would not be anti
Russian but would be counterweight to
such Russian policies as might conflict
with the basic rights and needs of
peoples everywhere. FABIUS.

GULF STORM VICTIM ''''"- HOSpITALlzED HERE

George Howe, 65 year old Mer. chant Seaman, suffering from ex- posture after Is days adrift in the Gulf of Alaska is in critical condi- tion at St. Ann's Hospital, Dr. Joseph o. Rude, attending physician, said this morning.
 MT. Howe was one of two passen- gers on the Aleutian hospitalized up- cn the ships arrival here early Tuesday morning. The other pas senger is Mrs. Emma Mallott of Yakutat, who was sent here by an Army physician in that city for further medical care: Mrs. Mallotts condition is satisfactory, Dr. Rude said fsf
 Hospitalized in Cordova since his rescue from a gear, seiner with en- zine gone dead in the Gulf, MT. Howe was being sent to the Seattle Marine Hospital when his condi tion suddenly became worse aboard the Aleutian. He was rushed to St. Anns Hospital when the steamer reached Juneau.
 The patients son, Don Howe of Vancouver, Wash, arrived in Juneau this afternoon after being informed of his fathers disqualification here.
 Nil Howe aLAl the other five crew members aboard the fishing vessel had started from Kodiak en- route to Ketchikan and Seattle, when the engine suddenly broke down. During the Is days adrift their craft was torn and storm battered while efforts were made by the crew to protect the boat dur ing bad squalls and to rehoist sails every til le it seemed possible to get underway toward a harbor. The res cuing fishing craft was attracted to the distressed boat when it's skipper noted the similarity of the boat to a Chinese junk and became curious about such vessels presence in Alaskan waters.
 MT Howe became ill three days after the gear seiner departed from Kodiak. He was declared seriously i'll after the rescue and hospitalized at COrdOva

BRITISH GOVT. : i5WARNED BY {.
 STRIKE LEADER

LONDON, Oct. 25-Tom Powell, unofficial leader of Britain's dock strikers, threatened the government with a general strike today as the country's most critical dock walkout in 20 years spread to new piers.
 T am warning the government that if they do not face up to the present national crisis, within few months they will be faced with a worse national disaster-a worse na- tional strike-than there was in 1926" Powell declared.
 Bringing thousands of soldiers into this industry while strikers wives and children are starving is no solution,' he said This is no way to build a beautiful Britain or bring about social security"
 The total of soldier dock workers rose to 10000 as another 3,100 troops were called out to unload critically needed food supplies. The number of strikers reached Al ,000 when 1900 dcckers walked out at three London piers.

 The USO was too small to accom- modate all who desired to dance
 Dancers were divided in their pre- ferences. The ones who preferred to "Jitterbug" remained at the USO and executed their maneuvers to luke box music and records, and others who wished to square dance followed the parade to the CIO Hall led by the committee, Henry God dard, Chairman; Lester Linehan and John Oberg. To the spirited old time tunes played by E. Mcintyre, violinist; with Mrs. Carl c. Collen, pianist, they danced square dances, with a few waltzes and schottisches intersperoed, until 11:45 p. m, just in time to reach their boats by the midnight deadline Four sets were in motion, with an equal number of spectators enjoying the music and action.

GERMAN POW OF
 RUSSIANS DIE IN
 CAMpS0R TRAINS
By RICHARD KAsIsCHKE


 BERLIN, Oct. 25-British au- tholities today quoted German war prisoners liberated by the Russians as saying that of approximately 100000 Nazi troops captured at Stalingrad barely 6,Ooo are still alive.
 The others have died in Soviet prison work camps or in transit home on trains which have POO to 300 eorpses aboard when they ar rive at Frankfurt -On-Oder, the prisoners were quoted as saying.
 Capt. J. G. Johnson of Oxford, Eng, commandant of the Invaliden Stfasse Transit Camp where the bulk of these discharged war pris- cners from the east are received, said their reports are mot eXas- gerated."
 One can well believe that death rate when one sees the miserable wrecks coming here at the rate of 2000 per day" Johnson said.
 The Russians are not releasing able bodied men. They are all sick or incapable of further work. Re- leased women of the Wehrmacht AuXiliaries are either pregnant or yenerally diseased"
 Johnson said some of the pris- oners reported they walked all the way back from Russia after escap- ing from work camps. Many limp into the Invaliden Camp daily without shoes, their feet bound in rags

 TOKYO, Oct. 25-There will be no stunning of former Japanese prisoners of war when they return home-and consequently no suicides because of it-questioning of many Japanese indicates.
 Under the old Japanese military code, soldiers who were captured or surrendered were disgraced forever and the fear of that led many during the war to take their deaths in face of hopeless odds.
 Now many families in freed Japan are planning celebrations of well come to which relatives and friends are being invited to renew acquaint- ance with returned prisoners.
