It was New Year eve and q time
for joyous celebration to most, but to
the members Of Washington's police

IT would rather be home shooting
pool with my son." 1t. Tolson said.
The pool table was Christmas gift

After cruising around the snow
covered streets for some time, the
cruiser stopped at the Willard Hotel.
After a quick look around the
lobby, Sergt. Chapman said it was
about as quiet as he had ever seen
lit.
Parties in Suites Discouraged.
One of the managers said the
hotel had tried to discourage private
parties in suites, was offering no
special entertainment, and side
tracked prospective customers>load
ed with more bottles than bags.
Walking through the wet street
around the corner to the Washing
ton Hotel, Chapman said it was
not a good night for people to be
out.
Its not such a good night for
policemen to be out either" 1t.
Tolson said.
/. II guess,I wasted that quarter
paid for my sfoeshine this after
noon," Sergt. Gaver commented.
At the Washington, everything
was just as quiet, the only party
scheduled being a small dance by
club which had been coming to
the hotel every New Year eve for
years.

To the Editor:

The tempest in the Sound
ing Board" teapot now raging
over physician VS.. chiropractor
and osteopath has been drawn
TO my attention. Let us ex-
anime the facts without preju-
dice.
From the standpoint of the
philosopher, M d cine and
science are most intimately re-
lated. In order to study medi-
cine in a grade A school any
where one must undergo a
period of tutelage in all the
abstract sciences.
The medical student spends
four long years looking through
the microscope examining ma
tural phenomenon and object
lively studying the nature of
disease in the light of his previ-
Gus scientific training.
The chiropractor and the
osteopath base their theories
of medicine on entirely differ
ent hypothetical bases totally
unproven by any scientific re-
search.
There are no chiropractic or
osteopathic. journals OF research.
This is SO because these are
not based on science and re-
search but on the opinion of
one founding man in each case.
The slightest amount of re-
search would be disastrous to
the osteopaths and chiroprac-
tors.
l wish to thank the Physi-
clans Forum for their fine ar
ticles. All readers of The Star
should be grateful for their
good advice.

Sounding Bomrd
Do chiroproctors lock training?

Speaking of suckers, I can
and I'm sure many others can,
assure the writer that we, too,
have been played for suckers by
the medicoes if he means we
weren't cured by their treat
ment.
In my opinion the writer of
the article is very prejudiced
as seems to be the case with SO
many M.D.s.
I'm not a doctor of any kind,
but have been a patient and be-
ieve in giving credit where it's
due. My judgment is based on
my own experience, and that
has convinced me that with
some ailments the MD.s don't
know any more than the man
on the street, and wouldn't adj
nit that someone else could or
even that there might possibly
be another approach to a GER
tain problem.
If the primary objective of
the medical profession is really
healing then some shouldn't be
too proud to learn from others
for whatever reason, rivalry ac-
knovledging better approach,
etc. These other people aren't
all fools or dishonest.

Greetings from England
To the Editor:

l have. great pleasure. in
greeting the readers of The
Chicago Star, and to wish them
well in their efforts to unite
all labor democratic and pro-
gressive peoples against the
reactionaries of the United
States of America.
1t seems to me that we have
very much in common just now,
for we have to do all we can to
Withstand the pressure of Wall
Street on the Labor Govern
nient, and try and prevent that
government succumbing to the
desire of American Big Bust
ness to interfere in our domestic
affairs as the price of American
financial assistance.
We are having a very difficult
time in Britain just now, and
have to face a serious economic
crisis, but we shall solve it, and
are anxious to let you know that
Britain is not down and out,
that it has now fallen to the
honour of the labor movement
to solve crisis which the cap
italists' class are responsible for
and which they can only see
being solved by making Britain
the 49th state of the U. S. A.
You too face difficulties, but
they are nothing to what lies
in front of you when the in
evitable economic slump comes
in the U. S. A.
This is why it is so urgent
that all British and American
men and women of good will
should unite in their struggles

lnter-raciaI housing
To the Editor:

We've been reading accounts
of shameful racial riots in a
number of the housing projects
located here in our city. Every
newspaper except The Star has
painted vivid pictures without
offering concrete suggestions for
the prevention of such anti
democratic hooliganism.
We live in one of Chicago's
housing projects. Our project is
inter-racial. Recently, our pro-
ject became the newest target
of jim crow when attempts were
made to divide Negro and white.
Sensational headlines never had
a chance because friction be-
tween Negro and white veteran
families was not permitted to
develop,
We've lived in the project al
most two years and have seen
first hand how important and
necessary is democratic organ
ization of the tenants. We're
happy to have the opportunity
to live here where we can
prove that inter-racial projects
do work when an intelligent
approach is used to solve NUT
ual problems regardless of race,
creed or color.

denunciation of the Van AIKEN
bill passed last Saturday by the
Ohio General Assembly.
Following are the statements

Sturn, AFL regional director.
GOsSer: 1--WE regret that the
state legislature has seen fit to
pass the un-American and OBJ
noxious Van AIKEN bill. | sincere
ly hope that Governor Herbert,
who seems to be a rather level
n e d d man, will veto the
measure. 1t is my belief that the
bill is unconstitutional and
therefore should be vetoed"
Sturm: 'The attempts of labor
and management to adjust their
differences will be destroyed by
the bill, as it improses drastic
restrictions only upon unions
and tends to create turmoil by
pitting worker against workers. F."

Ford Foremen
Still Strike

DETROIT (LPA)-The strike
of $500 members of the indie
pendent Foreman's Association
of America against the Ford
Motor Co. neared the end of its
first month here this week.
Four non-striking Ford fore.
men were beaten on their way
to work but FAA officials made
il clear that violence was not
and would not be tolerated by
the union. Dearborn police said
the foremen were dragged from
their car by three carloads of
men early in the morning while
on their way to the Ford Rouge
plant.
There were no indications that
Ford would offer to resume ne
gotiations with the FAA which
is striking. not for wage in
creases, but for continuation of
union recognition and other con.
tract benefits including dues
checkoff.

and management alike"
The Taft Hartley bill, the
NCWC continued, runs the risk
of disorganizing and disrupting
industrial relations by hastily
and completely recasting the
whole range of federal labor
legislation just at the time when
collective bargaining shows def
mite signs of moving toward col
lective cooperation for the COM
mon good"
Moreover, said the NCWC, the
bill would tend to encourage
the separate states to enact anti
labor legislation. 1t would do
this by going out of its way in
a most unprecedented manner
to provide that in spite of fed
eral laws the states are free to
outlaw the union shop"
