Why no May Day rally?
To the Editor:

. Inc 60A4OLs
May 1 has passed and no united
May Day demonstration was wit
messed in Chicago.
To the best of my knowledge
the reason given was that all the
available energies of the trade
unions are being concentrated on
the May IA Wallace rally.
If this is the reason, it is in
deed a feeble one. A parade was
not considered but a demonstra-
ton could have involved a mini
mum of effort with the working
people and all progressive Chi
cagoans turning out in commem-
Grafton of the Haymarket martyrs.
It could have been an effec-
tive show of unity to stop the
anti labor. anti democratic
forces and to push forward
10 further gains for the Am
erican working class and IFS
allies.
Please, Mr.. Editor, if my rea-
son or reasoning is wrong, show
me. But please, what's the story
why no Chicago May Day ceIe-
bration this year?

To the Editor:

There is so much in the world
to cry out against and yet the poet
cannot tell which crime he will
attack first.
The brutes who would send
Willie Francis TO the chair for
a second time are more respon-
sible for his" crime than he
is. In fact. he is merely the agent
for their criminal greed and cal
lous political ignorance.
A wider circulation for the Star
would mean fewer Willie Francis

crime producing decay.

Naturally, poverty-stricken

many who can afford decent

resort to the convenience of
lunches served at school rather
than take the trouble to provide
a more nourishing lunch from

However, the price picture is
not quite as dark as Miss Hanzel
paints it. Being a fruitarian my

cent stage, passing out other peo-
pies money, left and right with
out regard of the consequences to
the American public, who after
all are the donators of this largess
"a fact which Mr.. Truman has
entirely ignored judging from his
actions.

A plain fact Mr.. Truman & Co.
doesn't seem to realize is that
you can't buy peace-we tried

those of the American public who
are not responsible for such rash
proceedings are going to do the

Jobs Well Done

Award of a $685. contract by FPHA head
quarters in Atlanta to a local firm for the re-
pair of Eastlawn sewer lines brings to APP
proximately $4,000 the total mount of re-
pair jobs the federal government has assum-
ed.
The perseverance of Mayor John r. Watts
in proving the governments responsibility
for these conditions is largely responsible for
the expenditure of this major sum on city
repairs. This certainly merits congratulations
for a job well done. In carrying this matter to
its conclusion Mr.. Watts has availed himself
of able cooperation from local engineers and
other leaders.
The various repair jobs and the amounts
involved are: installation of 20-foot culverts
at Polk and Lincoln avenues, $25, 800; laying
of concrete entertainments in the drainage
ditch, 1000; repair of sewers improperly
sealed, $69,848, plus engineering fee, to run
approximately six percent.
In the case of the c~ulverts, Mayor Watts
proved to the satisfaction of the Navy depart
ment that two Navy officers permitted the
original contractor to install small culverts
far below specifications, causing a serious

drainage and flooding problem. In the case
of the sewers he adduced testimony of engin-
GERS to show that the contractors failure to
seal the pipes properly was causing sand to
wash into the system, badly wearing and
damaging city pumping equipment.
These federal agencies would not have
undertaken such repairs if a strong case had
not been made in their behalf. Probably in
numerous wartime communities throughout
the country similar conditions occurred but
have been overlooked or accepted by local
administration as part of the fortunes of
war" The vigorous prosecution of this mat
Ter by the Pascagoula administration has
corrected, at justified government expense,
a number of major ~breakdowns which other
wise would have had to be paid for sooner
or later, by the residents of Pascagoula.
While on the subject of recognition, the

he has been taking ii ever
since. He rents out a few apart
ments and has dabbled from
time to time in anything which
offered an opportunity for a
few easy but honest dollars.
One of the exciting memories
of our early childhood was the
"jitney-bus" hat Mr.. Powell
ran during a street-car strike
during the early 1920's. That
word, "jitney-bus," fascinated
us. II had all kinds of mean
ings in our childish magma
tions. And we were sure that
old man Powell made a million
dollars every day he ran it.
Actually il was a vehicle about
the sizs of a consolidated
school bus in a back-state
county-and Mr.. Powell must
have made fifteen or twenty
dollars a day for a month or
two.
But back in the 1920's, that
was the same as a million to
us. And to tell the truth, a
man could live a long time on
a months pay at $40 a day in
the 1920's.
Last week Mr.. Powell told
us that some fellow was writ
ing him up in Readers Digest
Magazine. He is now considered
the Oldest living big league
baseball player.
To us. he is a strong tie with
the memories of childhood. Mr..
Powell is like a boulder of
granite in the running stream
of time. The rest of us are
crumbling clods of earth, and
shifting sand.

greet. While Dave Cameron was
well known in Mississippi for
his constructive leadership in
the affairs of our state, he was
not unknown in Washington.
During our service here he has
been a frequent visitor to the
nations Capitol-always on a
mission for the advancement of
his native state.
We recall that on one occas-
ion when the War Department
wanted to train Japanese SOL
diers at Camp Shelby to fight
IN the European war, General
Smith of the Chief of Staff's
office contacted us and wanted
TO find out the reaction of the
people of Mississippi to that
proposal. We called Dave Cam
eron over the telephone and adj
vised him that we had a mat
ter OF utmost secrecy to dis
cuss with him. He came to
Washington Immediately, at his
own expense, bringing with hins
his good friend and fellow
worker, Bill Thomson, also of
HattieSburg. A conference was
held with War Department of
%ficials, and when the matter
was explained to Messrs. Cam
eron and Thomson they agreed
IN the interest of the nations
Welfare to take the RESPONSE
bility of backing the War De-
partment in this dubious pro-
gram. Their judgment was
justified and the people of
Mississippi cooperated which
resulted in these japanese
American soldiers taking the
place of many thousands of 9TH
er American soldiers who would
have had to have fought and
died in their stead.
On another occasion Dave
Cameron came to Washington
at his own expense to testify
before the Postwar Economic
Policy Committee, of which we
had the honor to be chairman,
and outlined a splendid pro-
gram for a policy of defeating
anticipated unemployment and
depression after the war.
Mississippi and the nation
have lost a great man in the
untimely and deplorable death
of our friend, Dave Cameron.
