The differences OF opinion among the
military, naval and air advisers of Secre-
tary Of State Byrnes and other members
of Americas UNO delegation at London
regarding strategic islands in the Western
Pacific are the sequel to heated discus
sions which took place in Washington
after the birth of the UNO at San Fran
cisco.
The entire problem will be discussed
with other nations at the next meeting
of the UNO, scheduled to be held in the
United States.
The point of view of the War and Navy
Departments was clearly expressed to the
State department last summer and con-
siSts in the desire of those responsible
for Americas national defense to hoist
the Stars and Stripes permanently not
only over some of the Japanese mandat-
ed Islands in the Marianas and the
.Carolines, but also over one or two of
the Japanese-owned islands
This suggestion was bitterly fought by
the State Department and to certain
extent by the congressional delegates at
the San Francisco Conference The con-
tention of the civilians was that they had
obtained after a good deal of struggle,
the insertion in the articles of trustee
ship paragraph providing that "stra-
tegic" territories when allotted to a ma
ton will not be subjected to inspection
or any interference by the trusteeship
authorities.
Because Of the necessity of the UNO
agreement being approved by the Senate
without delay or major controversial dis
cussion, the Army and Navy leaders
agreed to keep quiet about their objec-
tons to the arrangement
After VI day an unexpected Develop
ment occurred which created no impress
sion on the American public but was
considered significant by those directly
responsible for the national defense OF
this country. The Russian government
obtained the consent of the American
and British governments to annex out
right the Kurile Archipelago, which was
Japanese territory.
Premier Stain was aware that If the
Kurile problem was to come before the
UNO there would be a good deal of bar
gaining and he wished to avoid it. The
British had no interest in the matter.
while the American Government was so
elated over being promised complete con-
trol in Japan that it agreed to the
Premier's demands.
The American military and naval
leaders were somewhat uncomfortable
over this decision. Not only did they
dislike the idea Of the Sea of Okotsk
becoming Russian lake, but they also
believed that while Russia had OBJ

Opposes White House Expansion

To the Editor of The STAR
l agree that the announcement that
an addition is to be made to the al
ready SPRAYING White House at an ex-
pense of 81 $4,000, raises several CUES
tons in John Citizens mind, and If
this is an indication of the intention
of those in power to continue to waste
money and scarce building materials
on useless monstrosities, veterans and
others might as we'll prepare to con-
tinue to camp out of doors with no
housing available
1t is stated that this project will
provide $4,000 square feet of Office space
and theatre with 375 seats. The
office space could not cost over $500, 900;
$350,000 might be spent in altering the
the heating plant and other improve
ments mentioned, leaving 100000 to
be spent on a little theatre seating
375 persons.
Was Congress informed of the real
purpose of this project when it recently
appropriated the money? Why extend
the office capacity of the White House
unless more and more power is to be
centralized in the hands of the Presi-
dent? Why waste money and build
ing materials on this super de luxe
theatre when building materials are so
badly needed for housing for return
ing veterans? Does the common man
from Missouri need a million dollar
private theater for his entertainment
more than people need homes to live In?
If the President allows this waste
to continue, he should stop expressing
concern over housing for servicemen.

President Gets Breaks
By Raym ond Obey

There used to be talk of the Roose-
welt luck. Now we hear of Truman luck.
This cynical view of statesmen is largely
justified. So little of what happens is
planned, and the actions of Presidents
and kings have so little to do with what
happens that we must be sparing in as
cribing this or that to leaders.
Fate has been good to Harry S. Tru-
man. The moment he entered the White
House, good news began to pile in on the
American people. There was the success
of the San Francisco Conference, the
German surrender, the atomic bomb
and the Japanese surrender. Mr.. Tru-
man appeared on the scene just when
these things would have happened in
any event. He was not their cause, but
he was their beneficiary.
He appeared just when the people,
tired of the strain of war, were yearn-
ing for new faces and new voices. He
was received with vast good will.
When last autumn rolled around, I'M
employment was much less than had
been expected, and Mr.. Truman again
was lucky. He was luckier than he ex-
pected to be, because his people had
predicted much more unemployment
What is more important, he was luckier
than he deserved to be. For he had pro-
posed nice bonus for unemployment
in his Endorsement of the $25-a-week
unemployment compensation bill. Con-
gress refused to pass it. Workers were
denied vacation money and they stirred
themselves to get other jobs. No one
knows how many people were thus COM
PEELED to work, but. the number was
considerable, and the country Is better
as result Mr.. Truman became bene-
factor despite himself.
Mr.. Truman, as he examines his
budget and presents 1t, will find hts
financial house In better order than had

Chief Judge Cuyton

The nomination of Associate
Judge Nathan Cayton to succeed
the late William E. Richardson as
chief judge of the Municipal Court
of Appeals represents an excellent
choice on the part of the President,
and 1T will be acclaimed as such by
all who are familiar with the con-
structive work which Judge Clayton
has done in helping to improve the
functioning of the Districts lower
courts.
Appointed to the bench of the old
Municipal Court eighteen years ago,
at the age of twenty-eight, Judge
Cayton soon became convinced that
there was room for marked improve
ment in the service which the lower
courts were rendering to the COM
munity. Working with others who
shared his views, he played promi-
nent part in the establishment of
the Small Claims Court, which has
been described as a model tribunal
of its kind, and in improving the
procedure in the old Landlord and
Tenant Court-the objective being
to insure that these tribunals should
serve the needs of District litigants
with minimum of confusion, tech
nicalities, cost and delay. When the
revised Municipal Court establish
ment came into being a little less
than four years ago, he was named
to the Municipal Court of Appeals,
an entirely new tribunal designed to
expedite the handling of a large
volume of litigation without recourse
to the United States District Court
or the United States Court of Ap-
peals. This experiment has met
with marked success, and the choice
OF Judge Cayton to succeed to the
chief tudgeship gives assurance that
1t will continue to be successful.
An additional reason for welcom-
ing this nomination lies in the fact
that Judge Cayton, a native of
Washington, was the first choice of
the District Bar Association for the
post. The organized bar is peculiar
ly well qualified to appraise the
qualifications Of prospective nomi-
nees to the local courts, and it is
gratifying that the administrator
has given favorable consideration to
the associations recommendation.

Letters to The Star
Urges Congress to Establish
An Industrial Court

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS one Of the rank and file, would
like to raise my voice regarding this
chaotic mess which industry has gotten
into. We hear on every side people
placing the blame on this one or that
one, or this or that group. But what
the country wants is way out, and
that quickly. The whole Nation is suf-
fering, including the actors in the
sorry drama.
We are Nation of producers, and all
classes are so interrelated that any in
reference with the working order of
any one class affects all. If a group
of laborers, or group of manufacturers,
or group of merchants sets up an Or
ganization to take advantage of some
other group, 1t becomes my business and
your business.
If this Is a real democracy of equal
rights under law, then there should be
a lawful way to solve these differences.
AS I see it, 1t is just as wrong, I'M
lawful and un-American for a labor
union to say to management that it
cannot operate its business as for q
gangster to ply his trade. However, the
difference is that while the robber has
no legitimate excuse for his depreda-
tons, the laborer very often does have
real grievance. Why not have a good
sensible and lawful way to settle the
problem?
Let Congress provide for an indus
trial court which would be of just as
high and dignified standing as the Su-
preme Court used to be-not some
partisan board like WLB, which can be
rebelled against. This court in no way
would interfere with free enterprise
which was functioning smoothly. 1t
would only step in where units of such
free enterprise got into trouble and
needed outside help to adjust matters.
But when it did step in, and after
careful investigation, make its deci-
sions, those rulings would be backed by
the entire Government and armed
forces. This court would have repre-
sentatives scattered over the Nation who
would look after local matters and settle
minor issues and serve to keep the high
court informed.
I have never had any experience in
Government, but have had 81 years of
experience in being governed, and it
seems to me that the above suggestions
would provide the answer to the d.
lemma. ALLEN w. ALDERMAN.

Demands Minority's Protection

To the Editor Of The Star:
I think it is time that Congress
passed laws to protect those thousands
of American citizens who are forced to
join labor unions against their will in
order to work, who are forced to pay
dues to those unions in order to work
and who are forced TO surrender the
right to work according to their own
needs and desires to the arbitrary die
tates of labor leaders who already have
usurped their natural right to bargain
for their own services.
In governmental procedure the rights
Of the minority are recognized. With
its demands for closed shop, exactly
what recognition does organized labor
give to the rights Of the minority?
With labor unions now united into
declarations of national power and al
ready in control Of practically every
vital industry in the Nation, it will be
interesting to see what the outcome
will be. Large groups of unrestrained
power have overthrown governments in
the past. What they will do in this
country remains to be seen.
AS to the prevalent idea that 1t Is the
right of labor to strike-upon what Is
this right based? Under certain condi-
tons an employer now may be forced
to hire man against his will, but we
have not as yet reached the point where
a man can be forced to work for an
employer against his will. In view of
the fact that any one dissatisfied with
his wages and the conditions he works
under still is free to quit the job and
look for another. upon what is this
much vaunted right of labor to strike
based? E. HOOVER.

Wants Leaders to Speak Out

ants Leaders TO Speak Gut
To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star Is to be congratulated for
e having writer who can express with
such clarity and forcefulness the prob
lens of the day as Constantine Brown.
I believe the majority of Americans
share and hold the same views as he
does on American foreign policy.
If after supporting Russia, Britain
and the rest of our Allies with lease
lend to the value of around 80 billions
and maintaining ourselves in war that
cost us around $50 billions, all we ask
is that mankind everywhere be given
a chance to live in human decency, and
our statesmen are not forceful enough
to present our point of view to the world,
then all we gave of life's treasure will
have been spent in vain.
May there arise American men to
stress Americas unselnshness rather
than continually apologizing for our
contributions by our tacit silence.

gambling leads to racketeering, syn

Although the efficiency of the

The association laid the blame for
Juvenile delinquency on the we'll
known causes-lack Of home at

the war, poor housing, poor recrea-
tional facilities and poor community
planning.
The serious crimes showing the
greatest rise were housebreaking
grand larceny, robbery and aggra-
waited assault. There were SO muir
ders in 1945 as compared with SO

The greater volume of crime was
committed in the mid-city CONNER
