Agreements negotiated between en-

1t is time to consider whether the pro-
vision for compulsory collective bargain
ing sufficiently safeguards agreements
which have been arrived at. There is
not much difficulty in making penalty
attachable against an employer. It
should be equally easy to attach union
funds. The penalty in either case
should be heavy enough to intimate that
an agreement, once reached, cannot be
broken with impunity.

More Liqht Needed

Out of the welter of confusing and
conflicting statements which have
followed in the wake of the recent
District Jail break, it has become
evident that only thorough going
public airing of all phases of the
Jail problem-a problem that Wash
ington seems to have with it peren-
nially will clear the atmosphere
and point the way for effective
remedies. Shakeups in the jail staff,
however necessary an impartial in
vestigation may prove them to be,
do not of themselves provide any
guarantee of a cure for the ills of
Washington's outmoded penal estab-
lishment on the Eastern Branch.
There have been changes of person.
mel in the past, but prisoners con-
tinue to escape.
The troubles at the Jail are deep
rooted and the haphazard steps
which have been taken over the
past decade to eliminate them have
resulted in superficial improvements
that fall far short of the needs.
Fundamentally, little has been done
to provide modern jail since former
Attorney General Homer Cummings
paid a surprise visit to the institu-
ton early in his career as head OF
the Department of Justice and ex-
pressed amazement over the shock
ing" inadequacy of the buildings and
equipment. Since that time jail
heads have come and gone and each
of them has stressed the difficulty
of running an efficient establish
ment under the conditions which
must be put up with at the old Jail.
The present superintendent, Howard
B. Gill-who is now recommended
for dismissal by the Board of Public
Welfare was appointed last year
after committee of citizens headed
by former United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover had investigated the
Jail and found it wanting in many
respects. Most of these defects had
to do with conditions affecting
morale of the prisoners, but some of
them related to plant deficiencies
hampering efficient administration
of the Jail.
Mr.. Gill, in replying in part to the
boards charges of inef1ciency, has
declared that he repeatedly has
asked for construction of walls, suit
able gates and other improvements
designed to prevent escapes, but has
failed to receive them. He points
out that the Board of Public We'll
fares investigating committee which
recommended his dismissal had
adopted" some of his recommended
tons for safeguarding against jail
breaks, including appointment of
thirty-one additional guards and
construction of walls and gates. 1t
may we'll be that even without these
Improvements, more alert and eff
cient jail staff could have prevented
the recent escapes. Certainly there
appears to have been an inexcusable
delay in reporting the break to
police. But it is yet to be shown that
a high degree of personnel efficiency
alone could forestall future at
tempts. Certainly Mr.. Gill is entitled
to give his side of the case at pub
lie hearing, such as is proposed by
Mr.. Rover in his capacity as spokes-
man for a civic group deeply con-
cerned with jail conditions. Out of
such a forum may come not only
constructive suggestions for improv-
ing the jail but, what is more i'm
portant, concrete action to imple-
ment the recommendations.

Letters to The Star
Discusses Liquor Advertising and
Its Potential Reactions

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t was my understanding, few years
ago, that the liquor dealers, along with
me, were Mortified at the effects of
law known as prohibition" What has
changed their attitude? I take for
granted that this attitude has changed,
because I see clearly, along with other
observant people, that they are making
herculean and frantic efforts to bring it
back, with reinforcements. They are
buying beautiful and expensive adver-
tisements in most Of the magazines and
other publications to usher in an era in
which everybody drinks whisky and
whose rising generation will get the i'm
+ preston that intoxicating liquor, rather
than bread, is the staff of life. They
present pictures of men of all ages lex
cept the very young, and the pictures
are not wholly representative unless you
include some of these latter engaged
in swigging whisky.
Now, never have been crusader
But love my fellow men and don't
want to see them do things that de-
grade them and put them on the back
track toward the cave dweller Mod
crate drinking harms no one. But the
effort of liquor dealers to persuade
everybody, including those who would
speedily become hard drinkers, to get
busy, buying and imbibing is direct
disservice to the human race They are
doing all in their power to cause enough
human wrecks to start mothers and
fathers and friends working to stop their
destructive course. And by the time
enough mems and women's sons and
daughters have ruined themselves ply
sically and/or mentally, or both, by
the time enough young women have
been morally destroyed through partici-
patton in drinking parties, by the time
several thousands of peoples best be-
loved children have been killed by
drunken drivers, by the time drink in
cited moral depredations have become
so pronounced-so glaring-that even
people who do some moderate drinking
shall have been reused to frenetic hate
against iquor-the liquor dealers will be
no more able to stem that tide toward
a prohibition law than King Canute
was able to keep the tide back from the
shore.
The next prohibition attack-and, I
repeat. it is coming-will be far more
desperate and resistless than the pre-
vious one. There will be greater
grievance and more fighters. 1t will be
participated in by people who drink
some of them drunkards past the power
Of controlling alone their diseased ap-
petites, hellbent on getting rid of the
temptation the liquor dealers have so
enticingly furnished. 1t will be an army
of mothers, fathers, husbands. wives,
brothers, sisters. sons, daughters. all
of whose sacredest of interests have
been brutally violated.
The liquor dealers should think this
over Their present policy is stupid.

Sees democracy IN DISCARD
To the Editor of The Star
In the current agitation of the Zion
list question, the most fundamental and
far-reaching issue seems to be ignored
by both sides.
BY insisting upon a Jewish state in
Palestine the ZioniSts propose a death
blow to the basic principle of democ-
racy, which is government by majority.
Half a million newcomers in the
land insist that Palestine be turned
over to them as Jewish state, ruling
out million Arabs, who have dwelt in
Palestine for thousands of years.
If a minority is to be given sovereignty
over a majority, then democracy goes
out of the window
incidentally, all colonial empires will
be justified. WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Congressional Record Illegal?
To the Editor of The Star:
The Congressional Record still in
cludes China in the ninth judicial
circuit. AS Mr.. Justice Douglas is the
justice assigned to this circuit, I wrote
him a letter recently about it, and
here is his reply through his secretary.
Edith Waters: Your letter of November
Is, 1915, to Mr.. Justice Douglas has
been received. The answer to your in
quiry is found in the report of the
Judicial Conference, September, 1945,
p. 20, which stated that the United
States Court for China ceased to exist
on May 20, 1913, in consequence of the
treaty between the United States and
China abolishing extraterritorial juris-
diction of the United States in China
1t is obvious, therefore, that the inclu-
sion of China within the ninth judicial
circuit in the Congressional Record for
November 8, 1915. was an inadvertence."
There, now, the Supreme Court has
spoken, and yet the Congressional Rec
ord continues this illegality! Will the
Congress listen to the Supreme Court
or won't it? HENRY STONER.
Veterans.Unions Affiliations
To the Editor Of The Star:
I want to commend for reading ana
rereading the article in The Star of
December 1 by Maj. George Fielding
Eliot in which the major suggested
to veterans of the recent war that they
avoid being used" by selfish interests.
Maj. Eliot had immediate reference
to the fact that it is all too easy to
find new veterans organizations which
will accept funds to promote purposes
far afield. This fact was well developed
in the national convention of one such
group when it was shown that money
from Texas was being used to oppose
labor unions.
The fact that we have veterans in
unions and union members in veterans
groups is sufficient reason for all to
stand up and be counted for those
things which mean the most for the
majority of our citizens.
Labor groups will continue to as
sist veterans in all practical ways. For
example, cite the campaign now being
waged by labor unions for immediate
emergency housing programs to meet
the needs of veterans.

when he swan from the AT.
lantic to the Pacific Ocean
through the Panama Canal.
That was strictly his idea. AL
ligators trailed him at the out
set on this adventure, so an
army sharpshooter was de-
tailed to follow along the shore
to frighten off any saurians
that got too troublesome.
A second trip around the
world was made in an open
cockpit plane, christened, APP
propriately enough, The Fly
ing Carpet. Pontoons and
special gas tanks were in
stalled for the trip that carried
Halliburton far from the paths
of civilized man. His air
travels took him from the Ma
yam ruins of Yucatan and the
wilds of Brazil 10 Timbuctoo
and the recesses of Tibet. He
chatted with the men of the
French Foreign Legion, met
the headhunters of Borneo
and the voodoo priests Of the
Dark Continent.
1t was natural undertaking
for Halliburton to decide to
duplicate the feat of an intre-
mid mariner of old and cross
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-13

FOR six years the Pacific Ocean has
kept locked in its depths the myS-
terry of the fate that overlook
Richard Halliburton, adventurer and
writer, who disappeared when-his
Chinese junk, the Sea Dragon, van
iShed midway between Hong Kong
and San Francisco in March, 1889.
Speculation on the fate of Halli-
burton and his crew was revived the
other day when the water-logged hull
of a small vessel obviously of the
same type as Halliburtons was
washed ashore at Pacific Beach, near
San Diego, Calf. Little remained of
the ship, only flat-bottomed section
of heavy timbers, held together with
huge brass bolts.
This discovery caused many to
wonder if the battered Sea Dragon
may not have threaded its way
through the battle-churned waters of
the Pacific 10 come to rest on the
shores that had been her goal when
Halliburton set out six years ago.
Maritime experts who viewed the
wreckage agreed that it was of Orien-
tai origin. The type of construction
and the wood indicated that the ship
had been Chinese or Japanese junk.
But was il the Sea Dragon, final
~ beachedo after years Of buffeting
by the ocean waves?
No one could say yes or no with
certainty. The junk in which Halli-
burton and his crew of ten embarked
was IS feet long. Marine engineers
said the Pacific Beach flotSam might
have come from a smaller ship. But
not enough of it remained intact to be
sure of the vessels dimensions.
So, for the time, the mystery of
the Sea Dragon was deepened, add
ing another chapter to the Hallibur-
ton saga and one completely in ac.
cord with the daring and romance
that marked his adventures.
Graduating from Princeton Uni.
versity at 21, Halliburton who came
from Memphis, Tenn, actually set
out TO do and see the things and
places every adventureSome young
man dreams of doing and seeing.
Within two years he had worked,
tramped, and hitched his way around
the world. Before starting out again
he paused long enough to write a
book about his adventures, THE Roy
al Road TO Romance" 1t brought
him fame and fortune. He wrote sew
eral other books later.
He climbed the Matterhorn, then
made his way to Japan, where he
risked his life TO be the first TO
ascend Fujiyama in midwinter Po-
pocatepetl, Mount Etna, Mount Olym-
pus all were climbed in stride.

Order Rate Slash
for Gas Customers

LANSING-U.P)-Rate reductions
amounting to s3,961 900 for $4,000
Detroit customers of the Michigan
Consolidated Gas Co went into eff
feet Wednesday on order of the
State Public Service Commission.
Commission Chairman William j.
McBrearty said the rate slash was
provided for in a new rate Sched-
ule filed with the commission this
week. Filing of the new schedule,
he explained, was prompted by
Federal Power Commission order
requiring the Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Co. to reduce its whole
sale rates to the Michigan diStrib-
utor. The reduction order means an
annual saving of $7.e6 per custo-
mer. McBrearty said.
The chairman also announced
that the Commission will hold
public hearing Nov. 20 in Detroit
TO determine what the customers
share should be of S13,OOO,OOO i'm
pounded during litigation over the
proposed rate reduction. Of this
amount, approximately S11 100000
is due back to Detroit customers of
the compay, McBrearty said.
The money was impounded by
