Mr.. Pilkerton himself is inclined to believe

He was credited with having such desire about

Veterans Insurance

Robert Foster misses the point when he COM

prior to the completion of that period.
Actually this is the chief reason for holding

Conqress and the District

In a year when Congress has cut nearly
every appropriation bill under Budget
Bureau estimates, it has increased appro-
priations for the District of Columbia. In
q year when campaign pledges required
reduction of Federal expenditures, 1t has
increased the Federal payment in the
District bill.
This is due to the fact that Congress
is legislating for city that has grown
tremendously in population during the war,
without commensurate increase in public
facilities. The Federal payment increase
was accompanied by a heavy increase in
local taxes. The money was appropriated
because the need for it was fully justified.
But it was also due to definite change
for the better in the attitude of Congress
toward the District of Columbia and its
voteleSs residents. The change has been
in progress for some time. 1t is no longer
fashionable in Congress, as it was few
years ago, to make the consideration Of
local legislation an occasion for exploita-
ton of petty vindictivenesS and spite
against the District Local matters are
not being used as platform for spouting
small timers, as they have been used be-
FORE Much local legislation, in addition to
a new tax program and the appropriation
measure, has been transacted this session.
1t has been done. for the most part sympa-
thetically and intelligently
Much of the credit for this change of
attitude belongs to the members on both
sides of the Capitol who occupy the four
principal chairmanshipS having to do with
District rs-RepreSentativeS Dirksen
of Illinois and Koran of Washington; Sena-
tors Buck of Delaware and Dworshak
of Idaho. To Representative Bates of
Massachusetts, and Senator Cain of
Washington fell the unpleasant task of
whipping new tax bill into shape. But
the session produced many more and many
new friends at the Capitol who have taken
their assignments to local responsibilities
seriously and who have made every effort
to work in the interest of their voteless
constituents in Washington. The caliber
of men In charge of the committees has
enlisted the support of party leadership
to expedite consideration of local matters
on the floor.
The people of Washington The Star is
sure, are appreciative- though denied the
ordinary means of its expression. Influen-
tial groups in the city, such as the Board
of Trade, as we'll as in Congress, have
been working together to improve and
to maintain good relationships between
the people who live here and the repre-
sentatives of all the other people, sent
here to govern us. The betterment of
these relationships pays dividends-not
the dividends OF personal or selfish ad-
vantage, but the dividends that lie in a
friendly, working partnership in common
cause.
Aside from the personal satisfaction
that comes from duty well done, members
of Congress do not receive much in the

California Democrats

California politics being what they are
1t is not too surprising to read that the
Wallace-f President movement has
struck pay dirt in the left-wing faction of
the California Democrats. It is difficult,
however, to see where these dissidents
expect to 60 with their Wallace boom.
Perhaps they will not go very far in any
direction. The leaders of the faction had
planned to hold their Saturday meeting
at Fresno in an outdoor stadium. When it
became apparent, however, that the
hoped-for turnout of delegates was not
going to materialize, the meeting was
moved to hotel auditorium. And even
that was not filled.
But the meeting, If poorly attended,
produced plenty of noise. Many of the
speakers steered course that deviated
little if at all from the Communist Party
line, the particular target of attack being
the so-called Truman doctrine of aiding
Greece and Turkey. The administrations
policies in general came under pretty
heavy fire. however, and the net impress
sion one gets from reading the accounts of
the meeting is that these Californians are
against Mr.. Truman 100 per cent.
Still, they must know that their chances
of putting Mr.. Wallace across are virtually
nil. If he has any political prospects in
1948, they cannot be seen with the naked
eye. And about all that the California
left-wingers can hope to do. aside from
causing the administration the maximum
embarrassment in its foreign relations, is
to split the Democratic vote in California
and throw the State into the Republican
column. If that is their objective, it does
not seem to make great deal of sense.
But frona-the standpoint of the best inter-
ests of this country, the same thing can
be said of Communist tactics in general.
So it may be that there is after all GER
tain method in the seeming madness of
these California Democrats"

Pisu's Tower in Danger

dispatch from Pisa tells how the
famous Leaning Tower needs reinforce
ment of its foundation estimated to cost
about million dollars. The thousand
tons of cement placed under the beautiful
and historic structure before the war, 1t
seems, was not enough. Ten times that
quantity of new underpinning appears to
be wanted. Otherwise, the tower eventually
will fall.
But the work can wait five or six
years." according to Ranieri Noccioli,
Pisan engineer who has studied the prob
lem. The angle of the marble edif1ce's
inclination, he says, is increasing one
twenty-fifth Of an inch annually. At this
rate several centuries" would be required
for the tower to topple over. Meanwhile,
when the money becomes available, the
city authorities propose to introduce
concrete floor" 20 feet deep and 120 feet
wide to head off water which now Is work
ing on the foundation. The task admitted
ly will be one of considerable difficulty.
So delicate Is the balance of the tower
that q minor mistake might prove
disastrous.
The celebrated structure did suffer some
damage from bombardment in the war.
1t was hit half dozen times by shells
and fax, column in the circle surround
ing the tower was knocked out and bell
on the roof was destroyed. But these
injuries were inconsequential compared
with what might have happened while
the artillery duel between the Americans
and the Germans was in progress. Prop
erty losses in the city resulting from the
firing reached a total of $200oO,0O0
However, the Leaning Tower is accus-
toned to trouble. 1t was begun by Bon
nanno in l174 and looked down upon con-
