tions-and the government. Under present
conditions. the strike is labor's most effective
veapon when bad conditions are to be
rsuedied When workers are denied the
right to strike. they are denied the right to
improve their social and economic conditions
There are powerful elements in this country
that would like to chain the toiler to job by
waking him a criminal when he quits with
his fellow-workers in protest against inJus-
tees But they are still to write their aims
into law. The workers are still free to strike.
# isn't true that American workers have
always enjoyed this right. A century ago
il was a crime established by the courts)
for workers TO strike against private employ
ers or corporations. But the workers won
ont in the end. and now they can strike. But
the old attitude remains with regard TO the
government. Labor must. in time. do away
viii this brutal discrimination If labor Is to
be truly free.
If school teachers. organized into unions,
wish TO strike against their school board. they
should have the right to do so. regardless
Of The fact that the tin-pot Mussolinis at the
ton will cry to heaven that You can't strike
against the government" If ditch-diggers
want to strike. they should have the right
to walk out. even though they're working for
The city or state. And the same goes for
policemen. firemen. postal workers, govern
ment clerks. ianitors. keepers, and the like.
The cry you can't strike against the govern
mcnt." should be dismissed as Just another
morsel of bunk. Free American workers
should always have the right to lay down
their tools in order to give emphasis to their
demands for better terms of employment.
If It's wrong for private employers and
CORPORATIONS to enslave their workers, it's
equally wrong for any form Of governmental
organization to insist its employees are tied to
their Jobs. The slogan, You can't strike
against the government" is Il hangover from
times when workers were hardly more than
slaves. The test of real freedom in America
is the acceptance of this more enlightened
and humane slogan: 'You can strike against
the government
The state can be Just as severe and cruel
a slaye-driver as any Simon Legree. It's the
duty and obligation of freedom-loving Ameri-
cans to insist that working people are really
free to work or quit. as they see fit.

WHY Can't Workers Strike Against the Govt?

Of course. YOU can't strike against the clty

months ago. Truman screamed: gu cant

Where does it say in the Constitution that
workers must stay on the job if they are dis
satisfied with pay or working conditions.
Where is there a federal, state or municipal
law or ordinance which denies workers the
right to quit when they find they can't toler-

Ett By GENE HANDSAKER

HOLLYWOOD-Shapely Vera Ellen, who spends her days kick ing, leaping and pirouetting as a movie dancer, eats hardly enough to keep a reasonably active canary alive.
 She indicated a mediums sized can of pineapple on her dressing room table and said, That's my lunch. For dinner really let go roasts and such, but for break fast I have half shredded wheat biscuit with little wheat germ and hot water on it."
 shuddered. Vera-Ellen, you see, is reducing. Her thighs did look a little plump-not plump, exactly, but muscular, the way you'd expect for girl whose mother put her in dancing school at nine so she'd get some exer- else. Up to then, strange to say, this versatile screen sprite hadn't twirled single turn but had kept her nose in books.
 That hyphenated name, Vera Ellen-where did she get that? Her brown eyes sparkled. She was most alluring in scanty, ruffly costume that fluffed out from the hips above classy bare legs brown ed with makeup.
 When Mother was expecting me, she had a dream that she would have a baby girl named Vera-Ellen; she even saw the hy- phen in her dream. And so, though Daddy didn't like it, that became my name." Daddy was Martin F. Rohe, a Cincinnati piano dealer. Vera-Ellen fancied simple screen monikers like Margo and Anna bella and refused to adopt a syn thetic last name for pictures.
 This former New York night club and stage dancer has one of the most interestingly cluttered dressing rooms in town.
 In various piles were some 25 pairs of shoes for use in Three Little Girls in Blue" On the wall  were a gag gift from the prop men "a photo advertising a Whisky without a headache" Vera-Ellen doesn't dring or smoke)-; some 40 color postcards of flowers, fruits and animals, sent her by her fa- ther when she was touring with a show, and miniature Christmas tree which sentimental Vera-Ellen refuses to remove from its niche.
 Vera-Ellen had to resume danc- ing then. Feasting on lamb stew in the studio commissary a little later, l had a distressing mental picture: Vera-Ellen, can-opener beside her, munching pineapple in her solitary dressing room.

 With a large volume of Easter mail forecast, the Army postal service offers the following re- minders to insure most rapid mail service: mail sent overseas must bear first-class postage, sent either as sealed envelope or post card, and should be addressed with the soldiers full name, his rank, se- rial number, organization and unit, APO number and post of em- barkation through which the mail is routed.
 Military personnel stationed in Alaska are reminded by the De- partment Postal Officer that greetings going to the folks back home should also be mailed at once.

Probe by Grand Jury
In Scott Death Asked
By Civic Federation

Grand jury inquiry into the death
OF Charles w. Scott on November
2, following his arrest in the death
OF Detective Harry E. Hamilton, will
be sought by the Federation of Civic
Associations.
The federation, meeting at the
District Building last night, adopted
a resolution urging United States
Attorney George Morris Fay to seek
inquiry by the grand jury into
SCOTS death.
Scott died at the District Jail In
Urinary from the effects of anti
tetanus serum. according to Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald. He had
been given the serum for injuries
received when the car he was driy-
ing crashed into a trailer truck. De-
tective Hamilton was standing on
the cars running board attempting
to arrest Scott and was fatally in
jured.
All officers of the federation were
Reelected for 1947. They include
Woolsey w. Hall, president; Mrs.
Velma q. Williams, first vice presi-.
dent; William d. Nixon, second vice
president; Mrs. Edna w. Payton,
corresponding secretary, and Mrs.
Edith Thomas, recording secretary.
Also Mrs. Martha K. Simpson,
financial secretary; Bernard c.
Chapman, treasurer; Rev. William
B. Marsh, chaplain, and Hezekiah
Randolph, archivist.
Resolutions were also adopted in
support of the District Commission
ers' coal conservation plans and
thanking persons who aided the
federation in the recent plebiscite
in the District.

The National Housing Agency also
came In for criticism.
This agency has not used Its
powers solely to administer the vet

port said. Valuable time, effort
and public funds have been diverted
toward passage Of legislation and
perpetuation of this agency, rather
than execution of the vast problem
at hand"
Strikes In industry. as well as In
building trades, have been a major
factor in retarding home construc-

B4 1.-THE EVENING STAR, Washington D. c.
SATURDAY. a. 1916
By the Asseeiafsd Pres.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Sharp
criticism OF the way Federal agencies
have been regulating the building
industry was made yesterday In q
report to the National Executive
Committee of the American Legion
by committee Of World War II
veterans.
The administration has been very
poorly done, !" said the seven member
Housing Study Committee.
e Richard G. Cadwallader Of Baton
Rouge, La, q national vice COM
mander OF the Legion and chairman
OF the committee, submitted the re-
port.
THE Federal agencies doing the
job seem to be uniformly oyerstaffed
with second rate personnel and UNI
derstaffed with competent person.,
mel" the report said.
Costs Increased.
1.-THE administration of the con-
trolls has made for better completely,
discouragements, bad temper, slow
down of operations, and worst Of all,
has added tremendously to the cost
of doing business, which in the final
analysis has been reflected in the
partial paralysis, incompletions and
high cost of housing to the veteran
the report continued.
1.-The administration of controls
by the government agencies has dis
couraged the taking of risks and has
had definitely retarding influence
on the construction of new living
accommodations.
1.-THE administration of these gov
eminent agencies has provided an
for political manipula-
lions and the granting of favors,
which in some instances has created
considerable injustice.
There is also some indication
that the various subversive groups
have felt that the administration of
these Federal agencies offered an
opportunity through the existing
control measures of regulating and
directing the entire national econ
omy toward communistic ends and
OF breeding confusion and lack of
