Antivivisection Views

To the Editor of The STAR
On Sunday, October 26, in the section This
Week." there was an article titled "Vivisection
-Lifesaver or Fraud?" by James r. Miller.
About 13 years ago, was living in Chicago
when q hospital was forced to close due to
vivisection. Young boys were taking pets off
the streets and getting a dollar for each dog
they brought in and so cents for each cat. One
woman just reached the hospital to see her pet
dog strapped to table, but they hadn't started
the experiment. The newspapers carried the
picture. I saw man steal two dogs-he had
others in the car. I chased him, but he got
away. About a year ago a man was taking a
load of dogs out Of Pennsylvania. They had no
food or water-which would not have been dis
covered if the truck had not broken down.
Mr. Miller referred to some very fine persons
as "big guns" He called Irene Castle McLaugh-
lin propagandist. This Is as far as I could
read such an article knowing that what he
wrote was not true I have been to Mrs. Nc
Laughlin's orphans of the Storm" home in
Deerfield. Ill It's wonderful place and she Is
doing a good work.
God created dogs with love and devotion,
created them for our companionship, not for
vivisection. hope others will write, as have,
to "This Week Magazine" Grsybar Building,
Lexington avenue New York City, giving their
views about vivisection.
If the medical societies really have the welfare
of human beings at heart they will stop barring
ckiropractors and osteopaths from having
patients in hospitals In the very fine work
these professional men are doing today, 1t is
gratifying to know that never have they ex-
perimented on dogs or other animals

ing our soil, of letting wild rivers wash it
away, or of being Indifferent or half
hearted about long-range measures aimed
at reclamation, enrichment and conserva-
tion to keep our farm productivity in line

If this is true as regards the United
States-and it is-it is also true, and in a
much more pressing sense, as regards most
other nations. In face of the population
trend, every effort must be made to
increase the amount of arabic land now
available-including the effort to exploit
the atoms great potentialities as a
key to the secret of synthetic food
production. What we have to keep in
mind is the statistic that human beings
are multiplying at the rate of 200000,00o

that, then the world will be letting itself
in for nightmare of Nightmares.

which to describe what think Of them. do
think, though, that since our Government does
not approve Of communism, Congress has q
right to locate and look into the activities Of
any organized group wherever and whenever It
chooses Communists or any other group
that seems to be throwing the country into
q state Of confusion
Personally, I don't know what communism
represents. I think perhaps 1t means & me-
thing that is attempting to overthrow our sys-
tenn Of Government. Perhaps the line between
progressive thinking and communistic attitudes
Is very fine and thin line Maybe we have
to be very careful to know where to draw that
line. And certainly If anyone needs correction
he should accept it graciously.
CONSTANCE STEEL,
TO the Editor Of The Star:
Since 1t is my belief that communism teaches
the overthrow Of our Government by force
and arms, cannot agree with your state
ment that the Constitution leaves to the people
the right to spread communism.
1t seems clear that the spreading Of COM
munism Is treason, w a MANrEp
To the Editor Of The Star:
Let's get few things straight about Com
munists and what they stand for. Lately we
have been hearing plea that runs something
ike this: Whats the difference whether yoI
are Republican or Democrat, Socialist or
Communist? mans politics is his own
business" To my way of thinking, that is
similar to saying, Meat, vegetables, fruits,
strycchnine-they are all foods"
Democrats Republicans and Socialists are,
by and large, sincere. They believe in certain
things and they try to convert" others by
nacf nIc rrt,nr
rule and in changing the Government by ballots
rather than bullets. Now, let's look at the
Communist ideology let's consider what they
do and not what they say. Lenin, Stain and
other leaders have said the world cannot exist
half Capitalist and half Communist; therefore
their goal is the overthrow of capitalism every
where. Marx, Lenin and other radical leaders
have urged upon their followers the Importance
OF employing force and deceit as their best
methods of working-deceit when they are
IN the minority force when they are in the
majority. Those are the twin cornerstones
OF the whole hideous Communist system
AS to the Russian dictatorship, what farce
to call 1t democracy At election time there
Is only one candidate and as to free speech
there are 100000 of their own citizens In
slave labor camps who tried to exercise their
right of free speech. Free press? 1t is 100
per cent controlled and dominated by the
Kremlin.
If they knew the full truth, don't believe
the pinks and other sympathizers in this
country would want such things to happen to
the United States of America. When he wrote
I Chose Freedom" Kravchenko gave the world
full and, think, honest report concerning
the Soviet Union and the way Commies work.
Let us not be fooled by the way Communists
talk, but rather look at their record

Mrs. Preston

A famous American romance inevitably
was recalled by the death of Mrs. Thomas
Jex Preston junior. She was the first
White House bride. The date of her mar
riage to President Grover Cleveland was
of The Star for the following day tell the
story of the wedding in multitudinous
detail. Only a few private friends wit
messed the ceremony in the Blue Parlor,
the report explained, but thousands of
people stood in the streets and grounds
adjacent to the Executive Mansion while
the rites were in progress and subsequently
saw "the happy couple" leave for their
honeymoon at Deer Park.
Mr. Cleveland, forty-nine years of age
when he became a husband, had been a
lonely figure in official Washington. Deeply
sensitive despite seemingly gruff exterior,
he mourned the fading of his youth with
out any attempt to conceal his melancholy.
Oscar and Emma Folsom had been his
friends in Buffalo. Their daughter Frances,
born there on July 81, 1864, grew to woman
hood while he worked his way up from OBJ
security to the highest position in the land.
Twice she came to the Capital with her
mother to visit his empty home. The Presi-
dents sister was her host and may have had
much to do with arranging the match.
Exactly when or how Mr.. Cleveland pro-
posed never has been publicized. Formal
announcement of the prospective mar
riage was issued only five days before 1t
took place.
The minister who oficiated was the
Reverend DR.. Byron Sunderland, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. After the
ceremony he expressed his belief that the
union would be exceptionally happy. His
Judgment was confirmed The President
visibly reflected his contentment Mrs
Cleveland entered upon her duties at the
White House with modest dignity which
generously was commended At the close
of the Presidents second term on March
T. 1897, he retired to Princeton, New Jersey,
where he busted himself with his auto
biography. Dying July "a, 1908, he left the
reputation of "a truly American type of
the best kind" as James Russell Lowell
had described him. His widow kept alive
his memory even after she married Pro-
fessor Preston in 1918. She still was a
person of distinction and charm when the
world to which she belonged had disap-
peared under the impact of two World
Wars and a myriad of other tremendous
events .s vyu

Who Is HystericuI?

Some sincere people are afraid that the
House Committee on Un-American Activi
ties by investigating the maneuverS of
Communists in Hollywood, is melting
mood of hysteria in this country which
may lead to the sweeping away of all our
civil liberties.
This is possible. Certainly, the clumsy,
heavy footed procedure of the committee
leaves a great deal to be desired. But
when one gets right down to the things
that the committee has said and done, it
compares rather favorably with the So
called hostile witnesses" who have been
appearing before it.
The committee has disclaimed any belief
that Hollywood is dominated by Com
munists and any desire to indict the mo-
ton picture industry as whole. 1t has
concentrated for the most part on trying
to establish whether particular individuals
are Communists.
What about these individuals? Most of
these hostile witnesses refuse to answer
any question as to their Communist aff1lia-
tions, although there is considerable evil
dence that they are Communists. Instead,
they shake their fists at the committee and
shout: This is the beginning of American
concentration camps for those who
remember German history there is the
smell of smoke in this very room
the true purpose of this committee is to
act as the spearhead of forces preparing
a Fascist America the fact that
the committee is trying to destroy me gains
significance only because 1t opens the way
to similar destruction of any citizen whom
the committee selects for annihilation." !"
And so on.
It is not of great Importance whether
this is an act or whether the witnesses
really believe what they have been saying.
The important thing is that a good many
Americans, who are by no means Com
munists seem to believe every word of it,
They forget that the Un-American Activi-
ties Committee is, after all, pretty small
potato They forget that these witnesses,
if prosecuted for contempt will enjoy the
full benefits of trial by jury, and, through
appeal to the Supreme Court, the full pro-
lection of whatever safeguards the Con-
stitution provides against intrusion on
ones political beliefs.
They are not yet in concentration
camps. The Capitol is not yet going up
in the smoke of Reichstag fire. And
Chairman Thomas, even If he be the sinis-
ter character that some seem to believe,
has not yet reached the point where he
can single out citizens for annihilation.
Nor is there serious danger of any of
these things happening unless we, as a
people, are bent upon losing our heads
completely. And one way to keep our
heads is not to swallow hook, line and
snker the extravagant protestations, of
these gentlemen from Hollywood. For 1t
is they, whether in good faith or by design,
who are the really hysterical actors in this
performance
Evening star., 1947-10-30
The Lonq-Term Food Problem

1t is gratifying to know that Chairman
Luckman of the Citizens Food Committee
believes the Nations voluntary grain
saving program will achieve it's goal by
January /. His optimism, however, Is
strictly limited. 1t means that the outlook
has frightened only as regards meeting
Europe's desperate needs in the months
Immediately ahead. AS for the more
distant future, the problem Of hunger
threatens to be recurrent-in fact, dan
gerous-unless peoples and governments
everywhere take intelligent long-range
action to increase the earth's agricultural
productivity.
A hint of this is contained in the report
made the other day by Secretary General
Fitz Gerald to the fifth meeting of the
International Emergency Food Council.
While declaring that with more normal
weather the situation in 1948-49 probably
will be "appreciably" better than in 1947-
4S, the report warns that there seems
little prospect that the world can work it's
way completely out of it's food difficulties,
particularly its cereals difficulties, for
some years to come Numerous factors
political and economic-bear upon the out
look, but none so fundamentally as the
earth's population, which appears to be
increasing more rapidly than at any other
time" in history.
Thus, as the Fitz Gerald report re-
emphasizes the problem of hunger today
is as severe as it is primarily because
world food production this crop year will
be slightly below that of last year and
appreciably below prewar, while the world S
population will be nearly 200 millions per
cent-above prewar." Actually, as other
studies have shown, there is not enough
arabic land available, under present pro-
ducing conditions, to provide an adequate
diet for the number of human beings
(roughly 100000 00O) now inhabiting the
earth That number has doubled in a
century. 1t is growing at the rate of
100000 900 every ten years. BY 2047 unless
the rate declines. there will be 1000, 100000
mouths to feed.
Even the surplus producing United States
must take serious note of this trend. Ex-
perts have estimated that something like
three good acres are required. to provide
each of us with food and clothing in
keeping with the average American living
standard But our own population, which
has increased about 100000 since 1910,
is expected to reach point in 1850 where
our present available cropland will not be
enough to maintain the ratio of three
acres per individual. The day is thus gone

High Cost of Living

To the Editor of The Star:
The article on housing costs by Lawrence
Sullivan printed October 81, does not do credit
to The Stars reputation for fairness In the
news.
1t may be conceded that Mr.. Sullivan made
no misstatement of fact, but the facts he
omitted made the article untruthful.
At least two impartial expert witnesses be-
fore the committee testified that labor union
restrictions were only half the problem Of
high construction costs. The nonlabor prob
lens were specified just as clearly as the union
restrictions. MIR. Sullivan chose to ignore
them.
I am not making brief for labor unions
but for truth. Facts can be used to distort
the truth if the facts are used selectively.

when wheat was selling for 40 cents per bushel
and was used for fuel an attempt was made
to induce the bakers to reduce the price Of
bread. They came back with elaborate statis-
tics to show how many loaves of bread could
be baked from barrel Of flour and to show
that the cost of the flour used in loaf Of bread
was so infinitesimal that it would be impossible
