Those little black dots at the end of
sentences are serious things. They can be
dangerous. They should not be thrown
around indiscriminately, the way Presi-
dent Truman threw one at his press con-
ference Thursday
The President was asked whether, in
view of the failure of the Foreign Mn
isters' Conference in London, he would be
willing to meet with Premier Stain to try
to iron out the situation Mr.. Truman
said if Mr. Stain wanted to see him, Mr..
Stain would have to come to Washington.
Would the President be willing to meet
Mr.. Stain anywhere else? Mr.. Truman
said he would be glad to see Mr.. Stain
in Washington-period. Then, the re-
porters related, the President stuck out his
chin.
Well, things are tough all over, and a
little posturing and stance-striking may
serve as a healthy form of release. 1t is
fun to stick out your chin. 1t is also fairly
harmless. This punctuation business,
however, is something else again. Periods
are exceedingly final. And in discussions
involving our present relations with Soviet
gard them as anything but just plain silly.
What, if anything, did Mr.. Truman
actually mean? Does he think Mr. Stain
might come to Washington? Surely not.
If there was any chance OF that before
Mr.. Truman's press conference Thursday,
there is none left now. Did he mean he
has irrevocably decided, no matter what,
to sit at no more conference tables with
the Russian leader? Heaven forbid. Or
did he mean that If, at this critical time,
Mr. Stain were to ask him to talk things
over seriously in London or Geneva-or
Timbuktu, for that matter-he would re-
fuse to go? Nonsense. OF course Mr..
Truman would go anywhere any time to
talk to anybody, if there were reasonable
hope that by so doing he could work out
a real solution with Russia.
The President may have wanted to in
dicate we are through crawling all over
the place in vain attempts to wheedle some
sort of cooperation out of the Kremlin-
that we are going to try to build decent
world, without Mr.. Stain If necessary, and
that If Russia wants to get in on 1t Mr..
Stain, from now on, will have to come
our way. II that is what he meant, there
will be many to agree.
But there is enough trouble these days
without our making issues about the exact
geographical spot to which Mr.. Stain
would have to come. And this is no time
even for the sake OF political gesture
for our President to engage in full-stop-
ping, door closing punctuation marks.

Lust-Minute Action

This special session of Congress has set
something of record for getting things
done at the eleventh hour.
Without dissenting vote, the House
late yesterday approved and sent to the
President, who signed it, the Senate reso-
luton authorizing Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson to make public the names OF
spectators in commodities
This is a victory for Mr.. Anderson in
that 1t implicitly sustains his contention
that he could not, under the law, publish
these names without express authoriza-
ton of Congress. 1t is something of a
victory for Congress, too, since the speed
with which it acted and the decisiveness
of the vote should set at rest the whispers
that Congress really did not want the list
published because the names of some of
its own members might appear thereon.
The ultimate fate of the other last
minute congressional achievement-the
stopgap anti-inf1ation BILLS uncertain.
Senator Taft deserves most of the credit
for getting this measure through After
the House several days ago had killed
similar anti-infation bill 1t was felt there
was very little chance anything would be
done at the special session. But Senator
Taft got busy and, employing the energy
and determination with which he is gen
erously endowed, he succeeded in pushing
his own measure to final enactment.
Whether 1t becomes law remains TO be
seen. Mr.. Truman stated In strong terms
recently that he would not approve any
thing designed to relax the antitrust laws,
as this bill does on temporary basis. 1t
Is possible, however. that the President
will change his mind. For while the Taft
measure is not going to do much to curb
imitation, it is better than nothing and it
is worth a trial Politically speaking, at
least, the President would not be in very
strong position if he should veto 1t.

Red Tide Still q Mystery

A report of scientific survey of the
"red tide" off the west coast of Florida last
summer has been filed with Albert M. Day,
director of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
It's author is Dr. Paul S. Galtsoff, an expert
in such matters. The data it contains are
interesting to the lay public as we'll as to
specialists But the discolored water, the
dying fish, the wind borne toxic gas which
characterized the plague are just as mys-
terious now as they were at the start of
the investigation.
DR.. Galtsoff confirms the belief of other
observers that tiny sea creature, called
Gymnodinium, is the carrier" of the
trouble. This microscopic flagellate, whose
name literally means naked and whirl-
ing" is no stranger. Charles Darwin in
his journal of the voyage of the Beagle
chronicled it off Chile in 1882. Billions
of little devils" each containing red or
amber pigment granules, have developed
internationally in relation to certain chem
icals, including phosphorus, in different
areas of the universal ocean, The same
phenomena have been found in the neigh
borhood of Australia, Japan, India, Peru,
California, Oregon, Washington and Rhode
Island. Eight times since 1874 has the
dreaded "tide" come and gone in the Gulf
of Mexico. This years occurrence was
connected in theory if not in proved fact
with rich phosphate deposits which are
extensively mined in Florida"
Munitions allegedly dumped in the sea,
DR.. Galtsoff declares, had nothing to do
with the case The .poisons given off by
the Gymnodinium are their own produc-
tions Human beings are subject to irrita-
tion by them They kill fish as large as
tarpon. Oysters in affected waters perish.
But the true crab and sponges seem to
show no i'll effects, and an impression that
gulls died from feeding on poisoned fish
was not confirmed The September hur-
ricane was responsible for the tides"
disappearance. It may return in the
spring.
Meanwhile, DR.. Galtsoff recommends "a

effort in Europe
The average American, with little real
information on the subject and confused
by what seem to be the conflicting Wede-
meyer-Marshall ideas, cannot know the
answers to such questions. What is
needed is clear-cut official definition of
the problem-a definition to clarity public
thinking and guard against congressional
action that might help China only at the
risk of taking away from Europe what
Europe critically needs. In the long run,
that kind of aid would not benefit any of
our friends, including the Chinese. The
Communist International alone would
gain.

Experience With Discrimination

Experience With Discrimination
To the Editor OF The Star:
The president of the Federation of Citizens
Association has declared, segregation of races
is not discrimination. have not been able to
find any discrimination in Washington" The
statement is so ridiculous that it hardly merits
the dignity of an answer.
However, as Negro who faces discrimination
in Washington daily, cannot sit idly by when
one who apparently does not know the mean
ing OF the word expounds so freely.
Websters Dictionary defines discrimination
as observing or making differences between"
Needless 10 say, could write for hours enum-
Grating the many examples of discrimination
in Washington. Every sincere citizen recog-
nizes them as well as I.
Sometime in the future, when another Free
dom Train rolls into Washington, I hope to
look upon those honored documents and truth
fully say, II know what 1t means to be free
in democratic land"

Alex Rose of the Liberal Party


In Fridays editorial entitled Fifth Column
in Action" The Star quotes Alex Rose, who
is identified as vice chairman of the Labor
Party. Alex Rose is vice chairman of the
Liberal Party of New York State and has no
connection with the American Labor Party.
The Liberal Party, unlike the recent defections
from the Wallace camp, has been working for
four years as the political arm Of prodemo-
cratic liberal forces and as the basis for a
Nationwide new party not for Wallace's brand
Of personal or foreign dictated opportunism.

comprehensive program OF research which
would attack the basic problem of why red
tides occur and whether man can predict
and control them" This inquiry, he sug-
gests, ought to include examination of
seasonal changes in the physical and
chemical conditions in the Gulf, the paths
of water currents, the cycles of phosphates
and other salts, and the nutritional re-
quirements of Gymnodinium.

Blames Ourselves for War


To the Editor of The STAR
by Querulous that in World War II we had no
choice between war and submission, seems to
be based on the assumption that we entered
that war after Pearl Harbor.
That view agrees with the Official version:
We were going along peacefully minding our
own business never suspecting that we had
done thing to provoke attack, when our
innocence was suddenly outraged by Pearl
Harbor. So war was forced upon us.
That story was dinned at us so vigorously
for years that some seem to believe it. We
were told to remember Pearl Harbor but we
should remember also what happened before
that event:
l. Congress repealed the law against supply
ing arms to warning nations. 2. We traded
fifty naval vessels to Britain 3. Our Navy
conveyed war equipment to England. 4. The
credits Of Japan In this country were frozen.
5. Our President said in radio talk that he
had given the order to shoot without warning.
6. We conscripted a million extra soldiers
nearly two years before Pearl Harbor
And q dozen other steps were taken IN the
same direction.
Self-defense is no new excuse for entering
war. 1t has been the cry Of every agressor for
the past century or two The little boy who
snapped a dozen clothespins on the tail of
sleeping cat, complained because she scratched
him.

Stresses Spelling Reform

OtIeSSeS OpSillHS NeIOrm
To the Editor of The Star:
Recently The Star printed the report of the
Presidents Commission on Higher Education.
education should be made available to all in
the same way that high school education is now
available.
At the same time that we plan to broaden
our educational system, we should also plan
to improve 1t within the present framework
Most Americans now waste one year of their
early education on spelling. Certainly, it would
be foolish to spend billions of dollars on free
college education and at the same time to
continue to waste one year of our early educa-
ton.
1t has been almost 40 years since the last
major attempt to simplify our spelling took
place. Many changes have occurred in this
time. believe that the present time is much
more favorable to spelling reform than the pre-
World War I period. Since then our educational
requirements have increased considerably and
the public is aware of this. Therefore it should
give greater support to plans for simplifying our
spelling than it did in 1910. Similarly reform,
which would make English easier for foreigners,
should have greater appeal to the International
minded generation of today than it did to the
isolationist America of the past
Recently, the campaign for spelling reform
has been revived in England and considerable
amount Of influential support has been OBJ
tanned. Certainly, it is time for Americans
also to reinterest themselves in this subject.
The effort and money that we devote to it now
might pay even greater dividends than the
billions which we will devote to college educa-
ton in the future. BERNARD F. KOHOUT..

Church-State Issue Feared

To the Editor OF The Star:
The Archbishop of Canterbury recently found
1t necessary to rebuke the RED Dean" Of Can
terbury for his actions and statements
In reply. the Red Dean said in part, IT thus
became Christian spokesman within the
Anglican church for the great mass Of English
opinion in the mines, factories and fields which
had elected as Prime Minister the man who
appointed me Dean of Canterbury"
This demonstrates a point in the current
Church and State question. God forbid that
church offices ever become subject to political
maneuverings in this country c. j. NESSER
