time the only members who possibly
might be affected are those so old
they could not adapt themselves to
other kinds of work in the system,
and that such employees are fully

THE opposition is further selfish
Il and short sighted because every
union official knows and every union
member should know that no public

better care of it's union employees than
has the DSR.

Councilmen should remember that
fact when they vote tomorrow on re-

They should remember that out
of every revenue dollar collected by
the DSR, II cents 60 to employees in
wages and pension costs.
This compares to an average OF a
Il cents to employees of the transit
industry as whole in the country.
1t indicates that right now the
DSR is functioning pretty much for
the benefit of its employees even
ahead of it's customers, the citizens
Of Detroit who own it.
The DSR is by no means per-
fectly functioning organization. 1t is

A SUBCOMMITTEE OF the House
"A of Representatives has COM
pleted a careful study of the strange
reversal of war department policy
which now permits the commission
ing of acknowledged Communists IN
the U. S. Army, and allows them
free access to the military secrets
and strategy of the armed forces IN
time of war.
The members of Congress were
astonished and greatly disturbed by
this change IN war department
policy, because they knew it was
matter of official record and not
mere speculation or suspicion that
disorganizatlon and Generalization
of the American armed forces had
long been an essential part of the
Communist program in the United
States.
Accordingly an investigation of
the matter was ordered-and now
the members of Congress are even
MORE astonished and disturbed.
THE only explanation they have
Il been able to find of the new policy
giving army commissions and access
to military secrets to Communists
and it falls far short of being justi-
fication-is in the fact that.
"The aim of oUerthroUing our
government by force and Uiolence,
in order to set up here a Communist
state, has not been Uisibie in Com
runist propaganda since the day
Germany Invaded Russia" )"
If this was the sole reason the
war department reached the conclu
sion that American Communists
could safely be entrusted with mill
tary leadership and secrets, it was
very SHALLOW reason - as the
House subcommittee has found and
reported.
For now that Russia is safely
OUT of the war, the Communist
detectives in the United States are
exactly what they were before the
European war--

nists here haUe not changed their

realize the MdTf-LenIn dTedH ana
pM STOP AT NOTHING to accom-
pHsh their aim.
And what is their specific aim
with respect to the American armed
forces?
Here is one version of it which
the subcommittee found in official
Soviet Russian documents:
In the military sphere: Garry
on intensive propaganda among the
troops. Cause Misunderstanding be-
tween officers and soldiers. Incite
the soldiers to assassination OF the
higher officers. BiolO up arsenals,
bridges, tracks, porOder magazines.
Prevent detiVery of supplies of rarU
materials to factories and mills.
Thus the complete destruction
of the army Will be accomplished
and the soldiers wiH adopt the pro-
gram of the social democratic
LUorkers"
HERE is another version of it,
H found by the subcommittee TO
be the specific instructions of the.
Communist Internationaie in 1923 to
its American delegates:
"To take into consideration the
morale of the army and the political
situation in the country and the de-
mand for the election of officers
Which, as rule, can be advanced
only when the army has reached an
advanced stage of disintegration.
"To link up closely political de-
n1ands Dith the principal slogan of
the Communist party arming the
Proletariat,. proletarian militia"
That is what communism in the
American armed forces meant before
the German invasion of Russia, and
it is what it means NOW.
The war department has been
sharply rebuked, and it DESERVES
to be rebuked
For the first three years of the
war it had sound and safe AMERI.
CAN policy regarding the commits
siening of Communists and their
access to military secrets.
1t is time for another reversal of
war department policy in this re-
spect-and if the responsible mill
tary authorities do not m ke it,
Congress should COMPEL 1T.
Detroit evening times., 1945-07-09

THE city council is scheduled to
Il vote tomorrow on whether to re-
peal an old ordinance requiring two
man operation of all streetcars bigger
than Toonerville trolleys.
The ordinance should be repealed.
Unless it is the DSR cannot pro-
ceed with purchase plans for big,
roomy, streamlined P. G. G. street
cars which are desperately needed as
part of the modernization program
for Detroit's transportation system.
The new P. G. G. cars are designed
for one man operation.
Their purchase has been opposed
by officials and members of Division
26, AFL streetcar mems union on
the ground that their use would
throw a lot of conductors out of work.
THIS is thoroughly unsound and
Il selfish argument.
It is unsound because an over
whelming majority Of the conductors
now in service would be absorbed
into other DSR jobs. The DSR has
so promised.
General Manager Bullock is on
record as saying.
"We haze about 1925 con-
ductors now in service, and retire
renh, illness, death and the depdr-
ture of maritime employees tOill reduce
the figure TO about 500 after the War.
feel certain zoe tOiU be able to place
every one Of these men in other
jobs"
The union opposition is selfish be-
cause it would obstruct the natural
progress of the streetcar system on
the specious premise that modern
equipment would endanger employ
