Aiding Disabled Veterans

To the Editor Of The Star.
l was interested in your recent news
article which said that the average
American veteran who was disabled in
World War II thinks the public is neg
lecting its obligations to him.
If this is true, then Mai. Gen. Graves
B. Erskine, U. S. M. c., whom you dis
cuss In your editorial on March 81,
deserves lot of praise for his constant
efforts to impress the public with it's
responsibility to those men who gave
part Of their blood, bodies or health in
the service of their country. BY making
"a concerted, planned attack on this
problem OF employment of the handi-
capped, Gen. Erskine has shown the
Nation how all citizens can pay their
debt to these disabled veterans: BY
hiring them in our stores, our farms and
our factories, by seeing that they are
not Disseminated against and by taking
1t upon ourselves to see to it that they
know of and utilize those rehabilitation
and employment opportunities offered
by the State and Federal governments.
Through Gen. Erskine's efforts, thou
sands OF disabled veterans have been
placed in jobs. What is more important.
their faith in their Nation has been re-
stored and not allowed to disintegrate
from resentment.

building houses.
2. Workmen are about to strike in an
effort to boost the wages for common
labor from $105la per hour to S1.42,s
per hour and lathers from $500 to So 225
per hour.
3. A husky young man, arrested for
vagrancy, told the Police Court Judge
that he did not work because if he did
he would lose his unemployment COM
pensation.
How can builder reduce costs in the
sale price of houses in the face of
steadily rising costs to himself?
It is idle for the President to make
fine gestures in behalf of those who
cannot afford to pay the present prices
for houses as long as in the background
the Federal Government itself supports
in 1dleness thousands of able-bodied
loafers.
There should be an immediate tighten
ing down on unemployment compensa-
ton. Any man who wants work can find
1t today and no man should be paid un-
employment compensation unless he
has record showing him normally to be
steady worker. The congenital loafer
should be cut off the gravy train at once.

live in (the horrible ogre landlord of
fiction) has been severely punished since
January l, 1941, by the contemplate
freezing of his property
Many landlords own very small prop
critics and are gradually having them
confscated by this most iniquitous law
called rent control.
Your editorial says conditions are no
better than year ago and therefore to
keep rent control another year. If they
are no better now how can they possibly
be any better a year from now or 10
years from now?
I know Of no class of people in this
country who are so thoroughly angry
at the gross injustice of stealing their
investment under the guise of law as
the small owner of one house or small
apartment. AS everything in connee-
ton with house for rent has increased
from so per cent to several hundred
per cent, he sees his property gradually
taken away from him. And we have just
fought war to destroy fascism!
Is it not about time to junk these
miserable controls and grow up as
Nation? Even Landlords have some
decency. Not ali tenants have as yet

Justice in Jupun

On the night Of January 81 five
Japanese were brutally dubbed to
death in Tokyo. An Army court
martial has now convicted five
American soldiers of this shocking
crime, sentencing one to be hanged
and four to be imprisoned for life
at hard labor Certain avenues of
appeal are still open, and If extern
uating circumstances can be brought
to light, the punishment may be
mitigated. On their face, however,
the facts of the case seem wholly
to justify the verdict.
Our occupation troops everywhere
are subject to our western laws and
to the special military rules govern
Ing their conduct as soldiers. In
this instance a particularly heinous
crime was committed, and the pun
ishment-the same as would be
meted out for a similar crime in
this country-is meant primarily to
serve the ends of justice. Beyond
that, of course, and apart from its
bearing on the promotion of Army
discipline abroad, it is meant to
demonstrate to the japanese that
their American conquerors practice
that justice among themselves as
well as preach it to others.
1t need hardly be said that the
people of Japan have followed this
case with keen interest. They would
have had little respect for our way
of doing things if the occupation
authorities had failed to prosecute
vigorously. They have seen Amer
lean justice brought to bear against
Americans. They have been shown
that none of our soldiers can do
violence to them without being pun
ished for it, and all this is self
evidently important from the stand
point of encouraging the spread of
our kind of democracy among them.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Now that the House has passed
bill designed to curb the monopolistic
powers of labor leaders and labor unions
by vote almost 3 to land the
Senate is soon to take up and pass
labor bill, there is a veto breeze blow
ing from the White House. Demo-
cratic members of Congress who have
talked with the President insist he
will decline to approve the House bill,
or even the Senate committee bill,
which is much milder The President
has yet to speak for himself.
One other thing, however, which the
President has not revealed and which
no one seems to know, is just what
labor legislation, if any, Mr.. Truman
would stand for-outside of some kind
of curb on jurisdictional strikes and
secondary boycotts, plus the appoint
ment of a joint committee to further
study the whole question of labor
management relations. It does seem
as though the American people, as well
as the Congress, should have the benefit
of this information from the Chief
Executive. If the President-like the
labor unions and their bosses-is op-
posed to any real remedial labor legis-
he has labor legislation program of
time he spelled il out.
There is good reason for such clarifi-
cation without further delay. An argu-
ment is being made already by. some
Senators-among them Senator Ives.
Rpublican, of New York-that if the
Congress will send reasonable labor
Uynifn
will sign it. Mr.. Ives contends that
the bill reported to the Senate is in most
respects a reasonable bill He wants
to keep the Senate from adding further
provisions to curb union powers, and
to prevail on the House to accept the
Senate committee bill, which is far less
drastic than the House measure now
passed.
It would be great help to every one
If the President made his position on
labor legislation known in detail. He
could do it, if he would, for he now has
available the details of the bill passed
by the House and of the bill reported to
the Senate by the Senate Committee on
Labor. Whether the Republican Con-
gress would accept the Presidents pro-
posals remains to be seen. It gets the
country exactly nowhere, however, to
have Congress pass remedial legislation
and then have the President veto the
measure, preventing any legislation
whatever. II the Congress knew exactly
the position of the President. then it
could determine its own course accord
ingly. If it considered the Presidents
program inadequate, it could stick to

National Shrine Appeal

People of every branch of the
universal Christian fellowship will
rejoice that a. new campaign for
the completion of the Roman Cath
olic National Shrine of the Immacu-
late Conception has been launched.
1t was designed to be "the greatest
church ediflce in the Western Hem
jsphere and one of the most mag
niflcent basilicas in all the world"
and the inspiration which motivated
the work at the start in 1918 remains
as compelling as it was then. Other
countries long since have carried
similar plans to completion. There
is no reason why the American prof.
ect should not be finished.
1t was visioned originally by the
late Bishop Thomas J. Shahan,
rector of the Catholic University
from 1909 to 1928. The cornerstone
was laid by James Cardinal Gibbons
on September %, 1920. Three
popeS and many other ecclesiastical
dignitaries havefmade personal con-
trlbutions to the enterprise. When
Bishop Shahan died in 1882 it was
said OF him that he had lived to see
the largest crypt ever attempted
anywhere constructed, embellished
and placed in sacred service. The
shrine in its ultimate form will lo
a tremendous monument to the
Mother of Christ. Basilican in mass
and cruciform in shape, it will have
an overall length of 465 feet, a
transept of S38 feet, dome 90 feet
in diameter and 254 feet high above
the crossing, with a campanile soar
ing to still loftier height.

Irnmutable Laws Recalled


To the Editor Of The Star.
I note that William Green urges the
President to do all possible to stop ris-
ing prices. Mr.. Green might as well
ask the President to repeal the law of
gravity, as long as the Federal Govern
ment itself steadily increases the num-
ber of people who are getting money
at public expense without yielding any
thing in the way of productive work in
return.
When we add to those pensioned,
those getting unemployment relief, the
1920 clubs, social security, those on
the educational and vocational rolls,
those getting strike benefits, etc., we find
that the percentage of those producing
tangible things, is plummeting. 1t all
goes back to the old law of supply and
demand. When eggs are plentiful, they
are cheap; and when they are scarce,
they are high. When those who repre-
sent the normal labor supply can live
without work and at the taxpayers ex-
pense, those who will work can demand
high wages and get them But Just
how manufacturer can meet constant
ly rising labor costs and yet reduce
prices has yet to be explained. F.G.C.

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
have read with interest the excellent
articles on Turkey by your correspond
ent, Constantine Brown. was teacher
at Robert College, Istanbul, 1939-1942.
Although I do not pretend to be an
authority on Turkey, thought that the
following information might be useful
to some of your readers.
Whatever ones views of Turkey of the
past, the important fact is that Turkey
is on the right track today. The Turkish
people are united, their government is
stable, and the Turkish Army, although
largely a foot army and ill-equipped, is
over 100000 in number and well trained
Although there may be number of
things that one can criticize in Turkey
today, she is on the right path toward
democracy.
In 1s45, new political parties were
formed and democratic elections took
place in 1946 The wholesome opposition
of the Democratic Party has made the
government Peoples Party introduce a
number of progressive reforms; this de-
spite the persistent war of nerves di-
rected against Turkey by the U. S. S. R.
Thus, today Turkey is the last strong
government on the Mediterranean stand
ing up against the U. S. S. R. If Turkey
does not get our moral and material sup
port, and should the iron curtain de-
scend upon her. the whole Mediterra-
mean, Near East and Middle East might
collapse like pack of cards.

that it will bring the so-called labor

any labor legislation whatever, particu-
larly its leaders. The fact remains how
ever, that many rank and file union
members are known to be sick to death
OF work stoppages ordered by the lead

made by these same leaders in union
affairs.

pears to be willing to gamble on the
whole labor management problem. Op-
portunism rules The President. when
confronted with national railroad
strike during the last Congress, pro-
posed drastic step-the drafting of
the workers into the armed services.
That is far more drastic than anything
in either the House or Senate labor
bills. The strike was called off at the
llth hour. When John L. Lewis called:
a national coal strike in the mines
now under Government control, the
President told the Justice Department
to go the limit. and it did The coal
strike was called off, at least tempo
rariiy. But the President seems to be
unwilling to have Congress pass legis-
lation which would make difficult or
impossible such strikes as these, which
would devastate the whole country.
Why? There are other strikes-the
telephone strike today-which may
threaten the whole economic life Of
the people. They may come any time.

it now appears will override a veto.
But in the Senate, with a slender Re-

three or four Republican Senators
would not vote to override, the situa-

To the Editor of The Star:
1 have suspicion that j. Edgar Hoo
yer is studying the Bible these days. II
so, We can all rejoice. Nobody will deny
our country's need for bigger and better
spiritual leadership. 1t has superseded
the need for a good scent cigar.
My guess about Mr. Hoover is based on
his recent alarm over the march of
Protestant ministers to the left. That
makes them goats! It says SO in the
Bible. Possibly that is where Mr.. Hoover
got his idea. The goats shall be divided
from the sheep-the goats being put on
the left side and the sheep on the right
We are not told where the black sheep
can go but it is to be assumed that they
will stay with the white ones. We do
know, however, where the goats can go!
This will cause the preachers plenty of
trouble. The sheep will all want to go
together and the goats will try to get in
through "infiltration."
