President Held Not Consistent
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
have at hand the July 81 issue of
your overseas edition Of The Star in
which is recorded proposed plan to
add wing to Walter Reed Hospital
for the convenience of President Tru-
man and his family. Also in the same
article 1t is stated that a similar ar
rangement was made at the Navy
Medical Center at Bethesda, Md. for
the late President Roosevelt.
1t is very difficult to understand
President Truman's attitude toward the
merger of the Army and Navy to pre-
vent overlapping of expenditures and
duplication of procurement between the
Army and the Navy when he himself
causes an unnecessary waste of money
to provide facilities for himself and his
family at Government expense, just
because he favors the Army. 1t is quite
evident that the Navy is not considered
on par with the Army by the Chief
Executive. Sometimes wonder why
an Army transport has not been made
available to the President as well as
the U. S. S. Williamsburg since in his
opinion the Army is superior to the
Navy.
AL of this to merely raise the ques-
tion as to the sincerity of Mr.. Truman
in his insistent demands on Congress to
merge the Army and the Mayor could
it be his desire to see the Army in "the
drivers seat" is the controlling factor?
Surely in the light Of your article on
the building of an additional wing to
Walter Reed Hospital (an Army IA
cility), when accommodations of like
nature already are available at a naval
establishment, Is not very consistent
with his demands for a merger on the
basis of public saving.

destroying our ships and tankers,
when q possible invasion Of Alaska
had to be reckoned with, and when
the need for oil in that part Of the
world appeared large. Weighed
against this background the Somer-
vell-King position merits a chari-
table Interpretation. It may have
lacked good judgment, but it seems
to have been altogether too honest
and sincere to justify the harshness
Of the Mead committees criticism.

Letters to The Star
Argues That Forcing Moslems
May Result in War
To the Editor Of The Star:

z
To the Editor Of The Star:
Do you not remember that the British
government called to London, between
the two world wars. deputation of
Jews and Of Arabs to try to settle their
difficult problems? England was beset
at that time by the same unsolvable
difficulties which face her now. There
was the Balfour Declaration on one side
and the influence of Lawrence Of Arabia
and his great friendship with the Arabs
on the other side. The two were sure to
clash and after days of discussion both
Jews and Arabs refused to accept the
government plan.
Why should we in the United States
now undertake to settle this very serious
matter by implying that England must
admit more Jews into Palestine than the
Arabs are willing to allow? Why should
we not bring more Jews into this coun-
try? I repeat that there are enough
wealthy men of the Jewish race here
to help establish thousands of the
European Jews in this country where
they soon would be self supporting.
After centuries of ownership by the
Moslems how can we expect them to
alloN' such considerable numbers to be
set down in the midst Of Moslem
nation? The Crusades had as their high
motive the rescue of Christ's homeland
from what the Christians of that day
considered pagan nation. After count
less thousands of men and hundreds Of
children had died as result of such
effort the Holy Land still was in the
possession of the Moslems. What right
have we to force unwanted people into
land which belongs to the Arabs?
If we continue our effort to colonize
the Jews in Palestine, we will bring
trouble not only to Great Britain but
to ourselves and to the whole Western
World. Surely we all must be aware of
the tremendous power that lies in the
hands of Moslems in Asia and Africa.
What peace can the world have If that
immense body Of people with their
dynamic religion turns against the
nations that have been friendly with
them and pass under the influence Of
Russia?
England has been the Jews best
friend in modern times. After the fall
of the Southern Confederacy, Judah p.
Benjamin found refuge in Britain and
was promoted by the Queen to the ofiice
which his intellect and character de-
served. What other country has had .
Jew in such high position as Disraeli
had when he was virtual ruler of the
empire?
1t seems to me unthinkable that we
will not use our influence to help
England to settle this crucial difficulty
instead of adding to her troubles by
demanding that she do what the Arabs
will not allow?
The Jews who persist in their present
policy are hurting their best friend and
If we continue as we have been doing,
we will not only hurt our ally but there
is danger Of our helping, to start what
will be no ordinary fire but rather an
atomic conflagration.
Let us do what Mr.. Roosevelt surely
would have done. We might arrange to
bring more Jews into this country
and perhaps ship others to South
America. We cannot afford to push the
Mohammedans into an alignment with
Russia

Labor Day, 1916

from generation to generation. Trade
unionism allegedly began in the
United States in the 1790s, soon after
the Constitution went into effect,
and represented at the start the
endeavor of small groups Of workers
- carpenters and shoemakers in
Philadelphia and tailors in Balti-
more-to improve their own condi-
tions Of life. In its immediate pur-
pose, the movement sought no COM
prehensive objective of national
Importance.
Eighty years later, however, peo-
pie commonly began to realize that
the principle of mutuality ought to
be called into play in all such efforts.
Humanity's problems, some union
leaders saw, were not so much group
or class problems as they were those
OF millions widely scattered, vastly
diversified in their training and their
experience. To gain what all were
seeking 1t was necessary that show
OF mass strength and unity should
be staged. There is some disagree
ment about the commencement of
the annual celebration of the first
Monday in September, but whether
1t was fathered by Peter ]. Mcclure
or George r. Lloyd and whether the
date was 1882 or 1884 or 1887 does
not matter greatly now.
What is important is the fact that
once Labor Day had been set apart
Tor parades and meetings of workers
IN one State it soon was set apart
throughout the country. President
Grover Cleveland signed the bill
which made it holiday everywhere
under the Stars and Stripes on June
2S, 1894. BY that time the political
impact of the trade union movement
had been demonstrated beyond any
question. The labor troubles of half
century ago drove men into parti-
san atf1liation as well as into collec-
tive bargaining. In every campaign
from 1895 onward thousands of men
nave voted for or against candidates
as friends" or enemies" of organ
lied workers. The power of such
bodies as the Railroad Brotherhoods
and the United Mine Workers is an
historic development.
But Labor Day no longer is merely
an occasion for the display of voting
strength. World War II had the ef-
1ect OF adding tremendously to the
numbers Of citizens engaged in in
dustry. Millions of workers now are
enrolled in one or other of the fed
eratlons OF unions which, under the
Wagner Act and other legislation
bargain with employers and thus
determine conditions of co-opera-
tlon. The force of Federal law
gives dynamic vitality to trade
unlonlsm as an institution, a
mechanism and device. Implicit
IN the arrangement is the right of
the Nation and of all OF its people to
nave the active and energetic help
OF organized labor in periods of
stress and trial. The average Amer
lean is an American before he is
anything else. He believes in fair
ana just dealing. That is why he
looks In the present worldwide
emergency for constructive appre-
ciation of union responsibility on the
part OF union leaders and union rank
and file. Labor's gains and advan-
tage as OF today might be DESTROYED,
II democracy were to be "liquidated"
by totalitarian assault. The danger
to freedom did not end when Ger
many and Japan surrendered.

will get results. The tenth time,
you may have to carry out your
request physically; not through
fear but by picking up a two
year old or leading an older
child by the hand. A firm hand,
controlling him without pain, but
with a distinct feeling of
strength, will do the trick. If this
is accompanied by a simply
worded direction or prohibition
in a firm tone of voice, pretty
soon the words and even the
tone will be enough.
The main rules to remember
are to be consistent and not to
expect obedience in too many
things. Nobody, not even a child,
can stand being bossed all the
time.

that it gives the wife more

Lady is your husband house
broken? Does he do his share of
household chores, like a lamb?
Or does he roar like an uncoop-
erative lion, demand the best of
service and then sink back with
his feet on the sofa and read his
paper while you slave over the
hot stove.
There are many easy tasks
that a helpful husband can IN
dertaIKe. There is the matter of
preparing dinner. After day
of heavy house cleaning, shop
ping and keeping the children
from blowing themselves up
with matches or drowning at
the beach it's no fun for the
WORKOUT Mrs. to have to pre-
pare dinner alone. Or if she's
working girl, she's probably
too tired to flounce through
cooking tasks without help.
A we'll trained spouse coop
crates in these situations. And an
unframed spouse should be
shown how to. It's a simple mat
ter to ask him to take respon-
sibility for one course in the sup
per meal.
MEN ARE additionally fine
cooks. If he's a cooking fadist,
so much the better, let him pre-
pare his specialties. But even if
he doesn't know how to cook, he
can learn easy things such as how
to dish the daily green salad. He
may balk at first, but pretty soon
he will take pride in the simple
job of mixing lettuce, tomatoes
ard other vegetables with a tasty
dressing and serving it to the
family and friends.
Two other husbandiy tasks
that will contribute to the max
ing of a real helpmate are the
setting of the table before din
ner and aid in dish washing after

dollars and sense
PREFABRICATED HOUSES

They're not as cheap as the
price tag indicates, warns Simon
Breines, architect and co-author
of ''The Book of Houses" To the
"shell price" must be added the
cost of setting up the house, the
cost of the site and improve
ments, the cost of transporting
the house to the site, and often
such details as electric wiring,
plumbing and painting.
All in all, it's likely to add up
to the same cost per square foot
of living space as an ordinary,
built-on-the site house and
there's a good chance that the
prefab will be inferior.
Mr.. Breines regards the cur
rent prefab fad with an appre-
hension which is reinforced by
examination of some of the pro-
ducts currently being offered by
department stores. He advocates
an attitude of wait and see," If
what you are looking for is
place that you can live in COM
fortably and relatively inexpen-
sively during the coming years.
The new Fuller circular alumni
mum prefab is something else
again." the author considers. 1t
is actually new = and probably

it won't be available for some
time, and predictions as. to its
price have yet to be fulfilled.
VACUUM CLEANERS
Upright vacuum cleaners clean
rugs faster than the tank type,
but they are much more diff
cult to use with attachments
than are the tank models. De-
eide just what you want your
cleaner to do, then make your
choice, Consumers Union advises.
If you use a cleaner almost an
tirely for rugs, the upright type
is best. But if you use it fire.
quently for cleaning upholstery,
curtains, etc, the tank type is
likely to be a better choice.
Consumers Union rates seven
uprights and six tanks. The
Hoover Model 81 (S575o) is
judged the best cleaner and the
Best Buy among uprights. Among
tanks, the EIectreInx Xxx
($69.75) was considered a Best
Buy despite its high price; also
a Best Buy, though inferior in
quality to the Eiecfxo{nx was the

Fire Department
Submits Budget
of S4,25O for AZ
Department report shows savings
Of more than 81 500 from es-
timated cost Of last fiscal wear.

An estimated budget of S4.250.0C
for the fiscal year has been sub.
mitted TO the board of supervisors
by the Coolidge Volunteer fire de
partment.
The new budget Is 81 400 less
than the estimated budget of 1916
and Is based upon actual expendi-
trres of s4,01252 during that year
Savings of more than $1,000 from
the estimated budget of 1916 were
effected through economical op-
erations of the department. For
instance firemen's salaries were
estimated to be Sl.10O while only
S865.50 was spent. Equipment and
supplies estimated at 300
amounted TO S12.64 while operation
and maintenance projected at $500
cost an actual $112.59.
Cuts in items for building ad-
dition which cost s1.963.45 last
year being that item to $500 for
l947 is responsible for the lower
budget this year. All other esti-
mated costs are the same as last
