Sees Law" Unchanged

Sees Law Unchanged
To the Editor of The Star:
In your excellent editorial, Prices
and Black Markets" in The Star of
March %, YOU wrote: The desire on
the part of OPA to prevent price in
creases is understandable and laudable.
But when this is carried TO the point
of forcing essential commodities lnto
the black market, as seems to have
been the case with meat, then the pro-
gram becomes self defeating. For the
patrons of the black market have to
pay aboye-ceihng prices, often for an
inferior product, and those who will not
patronize the black market are denied
their fair share of the total supply"
And so, at last. We come to dis
cover" that the old law of supply and
demand-which people have been try
ing, unsucceSSfully, to defeat since the
beginning of time-still holds good.
Our political theorists have not sue
ceeded in doing anything but further
confusing the issue
Now, not only are We faced with the
inevitable rise in the cost OF living.
We have the not ot-inconsiderable expense
of OPA to pile on top.
PHILIP L. WORMELEY ".
Good Friday National Holiday
To the Editor of The Star;
The United States Is one of the few
countries of the world claiming to be a
Christian Nation which does not OBJ
serve Good Friday officially Why?
Thousands upon thousands Of Chris
tians thronged the churches on March
30, but thousands upon thousands more
had to work.
Could We not pause for worship and
reflection on the Gay He dlc9 that we
might live? We celebrate His birth, why
not remember His death?
The President stated that Government
employees who desired to go to church on
Good Friday were to be excused, but
we were charged with annual leave not
Withstanding.
We were excused without annual
leave, however, to watch certain digni-
taries from foreign lands ride up Penn
sylvania avenue at different times in
the past.
Let us remember, as Kipling says:
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart,
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget,

Double up

Washington. Nov. 10--AP-At
least 100000 American families -
including those OF 100000 war
veterans-m must double up" with
other families in order to have liy-
ing accommodation in 1916.
That's the outlook John B. Bland
ford. Jr., National Housing admins
traitor. gave in a letter TO mayors
OF all cities of more than $4,000
population along with warning OF
"a sSSntinued dight housing supp
next year.
He said about 100000 families
are living doubled up now and
that preliminary estimates show
that another 100000 families must
double up by Dec. 81. 1916, unless
their plight can be relieved by a
far greater volume OF new hous-
ing than anyone considers pos
sible." This would be beyond a
goal q $4,000 units hoped to be
completed in 1916.
Saying at least a million fam
lies OF veterans will have ac-
commOdations in the presently oc-
cupied housign supply" Blandtord
declared they won't find enough
homes unless cities establish some
system Of organizing their hous-
ing supply and OF giving veterans
preference in turnover.
