It left our home sad and lonely

A place is vacant in our hearts,

Rental Units In Strike Against OPP

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 18-(P)
Landlords already have closed
800, 900 rental units in a growing
strike against the OPA, George
M. Engla-, president of the Ma.
tional Apartment Owners %associa-
tion,. said Monday.
Englac's estimate was made at
a meeting in which militant state
groups pushed for a nationwide
property owners strike at the an.
nual association convention here.
II think 1 am conservative in
estimating that 300, 900 dwellings
now are being withheld from rent
ers because of this growing move
against OPA controls" Engla-,
of Baltimore, Nd, said in answer
to questions by delegates after his
regular convention speech.
Leaders of the state groups urg-
ing the nationwide strike said that
if their plan is adopted by the
convention, landlords will not evict
present tenants but will withhold

Wait And See

Commenting on President Truman's
price decontrol order, the president of
the New York state CLIO said: "The
inevitable effect of the Presidents sur
render to reactionary pressure will be
to force a wave of demands for higher
wages, followed by strikes in many in
dustries. Labor is too well organized
to permit big business to wipe out
it's gains and depress it's living STAN
dards."
We would suggest to this gentleman
and those of like mind that the Presi-
dents Surrender" might possibly have
been to the wishes of a majority Of his
countrymen, as expressed on Nov. 5,
and that "big business" is not big
3nouSh to have rolled up the Nov. s ma
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-11-19

jority for a party pledged to end. price
controls.
We would also suggest that the gov
eminent did not intend price control
to be permanent, but that it was i'm
posed as a wartime safeguard.
We would further suggest that this
CLIO official could serve his unions and
his country better by at least waiting
to see whether "big business" will be
foolish enough to do all the horrible
things that he. so confidently predicts.
Otherwise, he is simply promising
a wave of political strikes. And political
strikes have never been very popular
with the people on the sidelines.

Stassen On Right Track

Harold E. Stassen, Minnesota's form
err governor and a candidate for the re-
publican presidential nomination in
1913, has occasionally been unfortunate
in his public utterances. But he now
has a theme which ought to improve his
standing, as a potential candidate, with
a large group of American voters. He
demands more pay for teachers.
Addressing a Parents Institute
luncheon in New York, Mr.. Stassen
challenged a thousand newspapers to
publish on Page / the salaries Of local
school teachers alongside salaries paid
bartenders and elevator operators.
The Christian Science Monitor &C
cepted the challenge so far as New
York city is concerned. On Page l of
Saturdays issue it shows that starting
pay of teachers from kinderdarten to
grade 6B is $1,608; grade 6B to high
school, $1,000; high school $2,148.
Bartenders' starting pay is lowest
grade bars is $4,000. Elevator operators
starting in apartments is $1,487.2O to
$1,732.64; office buildings $1,657.9 go
to %$2,018.96; lofts $1,569.80 to ST.

them, ought in fairness give space to

Buy A Bond

With the sale of tuberculosis bonds
again undertaken by the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce, Wilmington will as
suredly Ego over the top" as it has
done before with the same organization
conducting the campaign.
It is essential, however, that the
people generally understand why the
purchase of these bonds and, a little
later, of the seals which have for so
many years been associated with Christ
mas and have had such an important
part in the war on tuberculosis.
DR.. John C. VESSEL, who devoted
years of service to the operation of the
Red Cross Sanatorium during it's inesti-
mably valuable existence, and is chair
mar of the 1916 campaign, points out
that although the tuberculosis death
rate has decreased Is per cent since the
National tuberculosis Association be-
gan it's activities, the disease is still the
chief cause of death among persons in
the Is to IS year bracket, with an an
nual toll Of 5000 lives. New Hanover
county alone has buried Is victims of
tuberculosis thus far this year.
The need for liberal purchases of both
bonds and seals is pointed by the fact
that whereas the county associations
needs are provided for through next
March there is no money on hand with
which to continue beyond that date. The
association has no reserve fund. When
the money still in the treasury from
last years campaign is exhausted, the
work must stop unless new funds are
forthcoming. All the nursing, the home
training, the X-ray examinations. the
milk for patients-the arresting of the
disease in incipient cases and care of
victims in more advanced stages-must
end.
AS tuberculosis is no respecter of per.
sons, but attacks in palace or hovel in.
discriminatory if conditions are favor.
able, it is obvious that everybody has
the best of reasons for supporting the
fight against it.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-11-19

his declaration that this country can
not afford to risk the immediate and
potential adverse effect upon the ma
TONS children and it's very future by
undermining it's teaching force through
low pay.
Mr.. Stassen noted that more than
10000 teachers in twenty-five states re-
ceive less than $500 a year, more than
1900 less than $1,000, and than 400,-
900, or almost half the total, less than
$3.50. We are not familiar with the
earnings of %bartenders or elevator op-
orators, but it appears a safe guess on
this showing that on the whole both
classes of employees receive fatter pay
envelopes than the nations teachers.
And neither groups has responsible
ties comparable to those Of teachers.
Whether Mr.. Stassen wins the re-
publican presidential nomination OF not,
he has started something in which he
deserves encouragement, not from
teachers alone, but from, parents whose
children are in the care of underpaid
teachers.

units from renters as they become
vacant.
Led by a delegation from Texas,
the st1ike-favoring units were
campaigning throughout the day.
Mrs. Frank Morris of Dallas,
president of Landlords, Inc, of
Texas, declared a strike already
was sweeping her state like a
prairie fire" and that 10 $1,000 rental
units already had been closed.
This thing must be made ma
tionwide," she asserted. We've
got to stick together.
1.-THE only way we a get back
control of our property which has
been confiscated by the OPA is to
fight and fight hard"
Mrs. Morris said she and her
supporters favored outright lift
ing of OPA controls.
Others. including Englar, said
they would be satisfied with a
Is per cent increase in rentals,
with OPA control ending after a
six month period.
Dr.. Harry E. Loving, Bristol,
Va, who owns apartments in that
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-11-19

city and in Johnson City, Tenn,
said he favored an Immediate ma
tionWide strike.
Englar said his stand was based
on the theory that if rentals were
increased ven IS per cent it would
not only give what he termed
a reasonable break to the own
ers but that it would result in
more housing becoming available.
TOO many family apartments
are being occupied by single per-
sons" he asserted, "who would
get smaller places if the rent were
raised or whom we could force
out if there were not controls.
"In one of my apartments in
Baltimore 1 have a single woman
taking up a four-bedroom unit with
ZOO square feet of space and /
can't move her out because of OPA.
And yet we have a housing short
age there"

A MARINE WHO STARTED
SOMETHING

Back in the height of wal days,
a lonely marine on G%uadalcanal
wrote a letter to his mother ask
ing her to join him in reading the
same passage of Scripture.
That letter came to the atten-
ton of the alert and aggressive
American Bible Society. Its men
of vision saw the possibilities of
worldwide extension of the idea.
So, in 1914, the Society issued a
list of readings to be used by
everybody, from Thanksgiving to
Christmas. These passages were
selected by a wide range of emf
nent men.
At one the program "caught
and spread over twenty ma
tons. Last year twenty million
book-marks were circulated; this
year the number will be far great
er. The lists are being distributed
