This Drive Must Succeed

Despite the generosity of many
citizens and the valiant efforts of
volunteer solicitors. the campaign to
raise 81 100000 for new main build
ing at Children's Hospital is far be-
hind schedule. Less than 60 per cent
of the goal had been raised when
the workers reported last week and
extension of the drive has become
necessary. Campaign leaders look
forward hopefully to reaching the
million dollar mark by the time of
the next report meeting later this
week.
But million dollars will not be
enough to meet the urgent needs of
this veteran and invaluable institu-
ton. The 81 100000 goal is the mini
mum which must be obtained if the
hospitals plans for eliminating
overcrowding and expanding it's
services to ailing children of the
Washington area are to be carried
out. Only realization of the mini
mum sum will guarantee an end to
such deplorable conditions as cots
overflowing into corridors, congested
and antiquated laboratories and
operating rooms and use by the staff
of quarters condemned as unsafe for
occupancy.
That the citizens of Washington
would let such conditions continue
Indefinitely because of apathy or
lack of generosity toward so worthy
a cause is unthinkable. Those who
have not already contributed may
have the satisfaction of sharing in
the modernization and expansion of
this indispensable hospital by get

Loud Talk in Paris
By Raym ond Molev

AS the foreign ministers begin their
debates in Paris, it will be we'll to bear
in mind that MeSsrs. Bevin and Molo-
tov are labor and proletarian orators.
Like John L. Lewis at home such Euro
pean leaders have an extravaganza of
language and a recklessness in selection
of arguments that makes everything
they say subject to big discount
When a man is rising in a labor Or
ganization in Europe, he is carefully
scrutinized by his colleagues and by
union members as to whether he is
strictly honest with them and can be
trusted with their material interests.
Once he has passed that test, he is per-
mitted the widest latitude in what he
says and does. The more violent his
habit of speech and the more surprising
his strategy, the better his people like
him. The Molotov and Bevin utterances
follow that pattern. The recent Bevin
speech was certainly not helpful abroad.
America is attacked as a capitalist
stronghold at the very moment when
Britain is seeking capital here. TIE
Jews are grievouSly offended. Russia
is lambasted because of minor
squabble years ago in a union of which
Eevin was head. This throwing Of his
weight around follows the pattern of a
labor leader who is secure in his Job at
home.

Cooler, more reasonable talk will fol-

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

Nearly every week this columnist is
invited to participate in some move
ment to promote understanding" be-
tween nations. The invitations usually
contain an exhortation to the effect
that I'VE must understand Russia" and
that otherwise we shall be in for World
War III"
The suggestion Is that the greater
our understanding the less our fears
This derives from the common observa-
tion that, by and large, all people are
peace-loving, inoffensive, and friendly
from which it would appear that given
closer contact between peoples war would
disappear
This is dangerous misconception of
the cause of war Neither ancient wars
nor modern wars are caused by hostile
feelings between the members of popu-
lations or failure of communication be-
tween cultures. We have had two wars
with Germany, country with probably
the most kindred culture to own own.
Our correspondents in Germany profess
dismay that GIs like the German peo-
pie extraordinarily we'll They find in

knew perfectly well that the people and
the state are not one. The state is the
recipient of powers delegated to it by
the people, who may change the holders
of power but cannot take the powers
into their own hands.
And of all these powers those deal

power among other powers are farthest

What, at any moment, Sumner Welles
may have said to Count Ciano or
Ribbentrop to Molotov and vice versa,

Price Ceiling Reaction

To the Editor of The Star:
While 1 have held to Chester Bowles
theories in the past in regard to price
ceilines,SI now am of the opinion that
close examination of the situation ex-
isting today will show that the raising
OF or doing away with ceilings will not
create disastrous situation, as pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bowles.
Let us take the well-known white
shirt as an example. Prior to the war
you could buy a fairly good white shirt
for around $3.50; one that would take
for reasonable length of time, the
beating they are subjected to by the
laundries and still keep on looking pret-
ty good.
All right. A ceiling is established on
shirts around the prewar price. What
happens? They disappear from the
market. Time runs out and YOU have
to have shirt. Not being able to buy
what you want at ceiling or any other
price, you buy at double or more. an
inferior article that after a few trims
to the laundry looks like something the
dog dragged in.
Would it not be better if we were
able to buy the good shirt, even at
double the former price, than to buy
an inferior article at any price? Price
celllngs cease to serve their purpose
as protection to the consumer when
they drive from the market the abso-
lutte essentials of daily living and force
us into a market of uncontrolled sub
stitutes. j.. H. THOMPSON

An Excellent Approach

Had the original approach to
merger of the armed services been
along the lines set forth in the
White House documents released on
Saturday evening and published in
yesterdays newspapers we might by
now have had a unification plan in
operation, supported by appropriate
legislation.
There still are points of disagree
ment between the Army and the
Navy. But reasonable men cannct
expect that in an issue so broad all
disagreement will ever be elm
mated. The most they can hope
for is that the subjects in dispute
will be narrowed to the point where
a final decision is based on full un-
derstanding of the pros and cons.
The Presidents method of bring
ing about this condition is excellent.
The whole tone of the presentation
of conflicting viewpoints is refresh
ing, on his part and on the part of
Secretaries Patterson and Forrestal.
The dispute has been freed of the
harmful bitterness which marked it
from. the beginning and placed in a
form that appeals more to reason
than emotion.
In the first place, tangible prog
ress has been made in showing the
number of points on which the
Army and Navy are in agreement.
OF twelve major principles involved,
there is no longer formal dispute
on eight of them. In four, the
President has resolved the dispute
by his own decision. While the de-
cision is fortnight and to the point,
it is obviously balanced in its ap-
probation of the arguments on
both sides.
The major point for decision, of
course, involved the creation of
new department under one civilian
Secretary of National Defense, los
ing to the War and Navy Depart
ments their independent cabinet
ranks and elevating the Air Force
to equal footing with them. But
the Presidents decision preserves
essential autonomy of these three
branches. The Navy's skepticism
seems to be concerned now with
the degree, rather than the sub
stance, of the principle of one-man
control over the single department.
For the Navy was willing to have
the decisions-under the Presidents
plan to be made by the Secretary
of National Defense-made by a
deputy of the President. The new
Secretary would in a sense be a
deputy of the President. 1t is only
fitting that he should be a member
of the Cabinet.
There probably is less spirit for
unifcation in Congress than in the
services themselves. For members
are jealous of the existing commit
tees and all the personal preroga-
tives which flow from committee
assignment. But the interests of
the Nation should overcome these
personal inclinations and preju-
dices. 1t is to be hoped that af-
f1rmative action can be taken by
Congress on merger legislation this
term. 1t would be well if the legis-
lation included all the steps recon-
mended by the President. But If
expediency and lack of time make
it necessary to proceed by degrees,
legislation now could encompass
many steps toward unifcation pre-
paratory to final establishment of
the single department of National
Defense.

Disagrees With DIR. Henderson

To the EDITOR OF The Star:
never have understood the phi
losophy behind the essays of DR.. E. B.
Henderson, who writes laboriously on
segregation. His latest is about picket
ing the OAR hall when the Tuskegee
Choir sang. Why would any one go to
such trouble?
There have always been (and always
will be- numerous social events in my
town to which I never am invited
Most of them would have found me un-
willing to attend, if an invitation had
been extended. But 1t never occurred
to me to picket" any of them because
I was excluded from the favored 90
list.
And because it has been carried to
the extreme, picketing is looked upon
with misgivings by the average Ameri-
can today. / think Negroes would be
far better off, and happier, to accept
the fact, like the average white man.
that they are just not welcome at some
events, instead of trying to force their
way in. No dignified man, white or
colored, ever thinks of forcing himself
upon others. A SOUTHERNER.

Teachers Pay Alternatives
Discussed by Wife of One

To the Editor OF The Star:
The purposes of the teachers salary
bill are primarily: % To supplement
the salaries in the lower income brackets
in order to relieve hardships due to the
increased cost of living; 10 to attract
capable and qualified teachers to the
school system and to hold these teachers
within the system.
The proposed IA per cent increase falls
short of these aims.
These purposes however, can be real
lied more adequately at the same cost
C$l, 100000 as the IA per cent increase,
by either of the following alternate pro-
posals.
Cd A sliding scale of salary increases
with $500 for the lowest paid teachers
and diminishing to $3.50 for those in the
upper brackets, or
20 A straight $3.50 increase to all
teachers and supervisors. (Total cost
would be $1,575,0O0)
Either of these plans would give more
adequate increases at the lower levels.
making entry into the teaching system
more attractive and aiding the majority
OF loWer-paid teachers most in need.
Neither of these plans, however, would
cost much more than the IA per cent
that the District Commissioners have
recommended
AS the wife of teacher, I know what
it means to try to get along on the
meager salary teachers are paid. 1 feel
that $500 should be the minimum in
crease for all teachers earning less than
$4,000. 1t seems unfair that under the
IA per cent proposal. school officials
earning $4,400 and over will receive $500
and up, while the beginning teacher will
receive only $3.50. If a straight 5000 in
crease for all employees is not possible,
then either of the two proposals stated
above would seem to be fairer and
more equitable distribution of the money
to be spent. A TEACHERS WIFE.
