Praises OAR for Liberalism

Praises OAR for Liberalism
To the Editor OF The Star:
1t was gratifying to thousands of peo-
pie to note that the OAR had taken
step in the direction OF liberalism.
In doing this the OAR returns to
the admonition of its patron saint,
George Washington, whose motto in
scribed over the Eighteenth street door,
way to Constitution Hall reads: Let us
set standards to which the wise and
honest may repair; the event is in the
hands of God"
The OAR by this action helps to
remove from Washington the odium OF
being the only great capital city Of the
United Nations which subscribes to a
pattern of discrimination against q mi
nority racial population.
I commend the decision of the OAR
and hope that it is the forerunner OF
more tolerance in America.

ALAsKA5s ANIMALS RARE CHEMICAL TO BE MADE

PHILADELPHIA - Carbon l3, a rare chemical used in biological research, particularly cancer, and regarded as a medical tool that will rank in importance with the A-ray,' is to be produced in quan- tity, reports the Sun Oil Company and the Houdry Process corpora tion.
 Production has been less than one half ounce a year heretofore, the companies said
 Carbon 13-it looks like ordinary carbon-can be used to make sugar, alcohol, the Hydrocarbons of gas oline, synthetic rubber and dhous- ands of other carbon compounds. Ie can also grow vegetables which have some or all carbon atoms with atomic mass equalling I3.
 The statement said the chemical to be produced in two plants Sun Oil expects to erect in this area, will be used as tracer in re- search and may be compared to a chemical microscope that makes it possible for the chemist to see and follow reactions in the body not possible with the X-ray.'

President Calls
 On People To
 Rally For Nation
lBy Assoclated Pressl


 WASHINGTON - President Tru- man Thursday night appealed di- rectly to the most powerful pres sure group in the world, the Am erican people, to put the heat on Congress for strike control legis- lation and other measures which he said were designed to avert economic disaster" "
 Handsful of men in strategic congressional committees, he said, have stymied action in his lagis- lative program designed to steer the country between the dangers of imitation and deflation toward goal of full production and full employment"
 In his "fireside ehat' he urged the people to tell your public servants your own views concern ing the grave problems facing the country He emphasized that he wants no quarrel with Congress, but said taat if Congress doesn't like his program it should formu- late one of it's own. What the American people want is action" he declared
 He led off his speech with a de- mand for legislation setting up fact finding boards for major in- dustrial disputes and strikes to be barred for 30 days while the boards, equipped with the power to examine employers books, made inquiry. He also urged a new so- called full employment' bill for greater unemployment compensa- tion and extended authority to im- pose prize controls, and a perman- ent fair employment practices commission.
 President Truman said he was sure that the overwhelming mass of citizens favored and wanted congressman to vote to make the fair employment practices commit tee permanent.
 He spoke once more for com prehensive scientific research, leg islation for universal training, q health and medical aid program, an adequate salary scale for gov ernment employees, development of river valleys and the estaIblish- ment of a line of presidential sue cession. The President said he was asking only that congressional committees give the representatives of the people a chance to vote "yes or no" on vital issues. He said congressman home now on vaca- tion should contact the people they serve ecause from yersonal eXver- fence I know that contact with the people back home helps every pub lie servant in a free country.'
 "The voice of the people must be heard. We cannot face 1946 in a spirit of drift or irresolution, the President declared.
