Mr.. Trumun's Answer

President Truman has done
beautiful job in answering the in
evitable question about himself and
the 1948 elections. Having received
Mr.. Hannegan's unsolicited nomina-
ton, he has neither declined nor &C
cepted. He has done this, too with
out taking refuge in the kind of
ambiguous coyness that is as much
a part of the preconvention season
as bird song is part of spring.
Thus, while avoiding both Eyes"
and no." Mr.. Truman has man
aged to convey the clear idea that
he is still very much available. At
the same time, though, he has left
the impression that he really means
it when he says that thoughts about
his personal fortunes in 1948 are as
nothing compared to his desire to
serve the whole country as well as
he can. In his own words, GAS Presi-
dent of the United States 7 am

in all cases, from day to day, with
out regard to narrow political con-
siderations, what seems to me to be
best for the welfare of all our
people,
AS President and as probable
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Truman
could hardly have thought up a
better answer to the question asked
him. 1t has dignity. 1t has force.
1t glistens with political artistry and
at the same time has a ring of
genuine sincerity in it. In fact, in
itself, 1t constitutes about as good a
platform as any presidential aspir-
ant could run on. Mr.. Truman is
to be congratulated for handling
a hot potato in a fine American
spirit and with masters touch.

Veteran Tells His Troubles

veteran GllS Ills TOuDlSS
To the Editor of The Star:
I was working in a civil service job
here in town, plugging along like every
one else, trying to do good days work
Then my number came up. I went into
the service, somehow managed to get
through basic training, and few weeks
later was riding on a troopShip.
Life was rough in France and Ger
many that winter. The cold penetrated,
and lots of the boys suffered pretty
much. Worst of all was the business of
killing or being killed.
Finally. 1t was finished and we got
back-some of us all in one piece. 1t was
wonderful seeing the wife and baby
again, and the years OF lonesomeness
were gone.
But this year things have turned
worse and l have been told that my job
is finished. have worked for the Gov
ernment (what they call the permanent

life in the Army and now-unemployed

use, especially for the government
services. Discomfort is today rife
among the U. N. employees at present
wage scales. To avoid the loss of a
large proportion of its most eff
cient workers through resignation,
the labor relations bureau has pro-
posed the differential wage as the
most practical way to handle the
problem.

AN Ugly Hangover

To the Editor Of The Star:
commend your editorial in yester-
days Star entitled can Ugly Hang
over" which treated of the con-
tinued existence of temporary Govern
ment structures which were designed
to meet an emergency wartime need.
Your editorial Endorses the general
principle of eliminating all such struc-
lures as eXempliied by Gen. Fleming's
statement to which you make reference.
But it seems to me that this problem,
can be Immediately and more specifically
attacked at weak point which exists
at the present time.
invite your attention to the war
time project which was developed by
the Navy as a Communications Center
at the intersection of Massachusetts, and
Nebraska avenues NV. To meet war
time need the Navy constructed, at this
point, number of temporary barracks
for the housing of the Navy personnel
required to operate its communications
center. These barracks have now served
their purpose and the majority of them
stand abandoned. Their character is
entirely out of keeping with the rest of
the neighborhood and there is appar-
emily no good reason for their continued
existence. They should Immediately be
torn down, so that the materials from
which they were constructed can be
utilized in some other area where there
is pressing need for such materials.
AS they presently exist, they stand as
blot on the landscape of what actually
is an otherwise excellent residential
section.
The Navy moved with efficiency and
speed to put up these barracks when
it was necessary to meet specific need.
Let the Navy move with the same
efficiency and speed to remove these
barracks now that the need is satisfied.

the judge did not realize, the man was

In July, 1943, at the instance of How
ard B. Gill, then director of the De-
partment of Corrections, check was
made on persons then in the jail, the
workhouse and the wonen's division at
Lorton, for intoxication, to determine
the extent of recidivism the penologists'
word for repeating. Members of the
custodial staff who had been there for
years looked at the figures with amaze
ment.
On the date of the cheek there were
529 persons committed for intoxication

there more than 100 times. Seventy-nine
had been there so to 100 times In all
BIT of the 52S had been there more
than 10 times.
Those figures should begin to give the
reader an idea how difficult the problem
is to the police, to the judges and to
any one who would attempt the rehabili-
tation of the police court drunkards.
Who are they? Do they want to stop
drinking? Have they found escape in
the cycle of the workhouse and the
gutter?
From studies in other communities it
is concluded that about one out of six

her concerning her position dur
ing the war, has returned to the
United States to renew her oper-
attic career.
We pass no judgment whatso-
ever on Flagstad's voice, which
we understand to be of high arts
tic qualities. We, however, resent
deeply her return to this country
and the fact that she will un-
doubtedly profit handsomely by
commercializing her art upon the
American public, despite her ques-
tionable war record.
However, let one of her own
countrymen express his reaction
to her singing engagement in
Miami. Said Mr.. B. K. Jervell in
the Miami Herald of recent date:
Her visit here on Oct
ober 80. I do not think will
interest Norwegian Americans
regardless of her magnificent
voice. Art, science, and music
may be international, but in
this case, we Norwegian-Ameri-
cans have too sound information
about Mr.. and Mrs. Flagstad-
Johansen's affairs to Norway
during the war.
"They were Hitler's friends
and beriched themselves by mil
lions of dollars through this.
"In other words, they were
traitors to the Norwegian gov
eminent and nation. That is
the reason why we Norwegian
Americans do not accept her,
regardless of her musical tai
ents."

flew to Portugal, a fascist-dom-
mated nation, and went from
there through and over Nazi
territory to Norway. This trip
could not have been made with
out Nazi approval.
Thereafter, according to a
New York Times report of June
Is, 1915, Miss Flagstad's hus-
band was arrested in 1915 and
accused of profiteering during
the occupation by the Nazis by
selling lumber to the Germans
and by actually joining the Nazi
party. 1t is estimated that Joh-
ansen made so million crowns
dealing with the Germans.
Johansen died recently before
he could be brought to trial.
The New York Times article
concludes with a quote from
remarks by the President of the
Norwegian Pertinent, GAS far
as Norwegians are concerned,
Kristen Flagstad is dead"

Public reaction to this an
nouncement has been over
.whelmingly unfavorable to Miss
Flagstand, and that is readily
understandable when we consider
the following facts:
Back in 1914 when Germany
invaded Norway, Miss Flag
stad, a Norwegian citizen, was
living in the United States. In
April, 1941, she requested the
Norwegian Legation in Wash
ington to obtain the necessary
visas to enable her to join her
husband, Henry Johansen, in
Norway. Because of the occu-
patton of her country by the
Nazis, the Norwegian Ministry
refused to give her the neces-
sary sanction. Nevertheless, she

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 26.-
Gov. James E. Folsom has cleared

he had established himself as q
respectable businessman.
The chief executives Office an

proceedings to return Collins to face
the remainder of a life sentence for
murder were dropped to allow him
to return voluntarily to Alabama
and apply for a pardon.
Collins escaped from prison In
1896.

became intimately acquainted with
Venezuelan affairs while on a war
time economic diplomatic mission
to that country for the United
States Government.
Browder told of association with
Jose Noel, Dominican consul in
Miami, and Libardo Blanco, a pur-
chasing agent, in buying planes and
other military supplies in this
country.
Guns Called Junk.
Browder testified he paid Bernard
Cresswell, a surplus property pricing
clerk at Bush Field, $425 for the
guns and Eisen hardt said the money
was part of $1,000 of Dominican
funds he turned over to Browder
Browder said the 81 or Is guns were
hardly more than junk and had a
practical value only to provide spare
parts.
Cresswell, a Government witness
last week, denied he sold the guns
Backing up its contention that he
did, the defense yesterday swore in
Frank P. Burnley, an employe at
Bush Field, who said Creswell Or
dered the weapons stored in a ware
house containing surplus property
for sale. Mr.. Burnley also said Cress-
well expressed concern lest he be
involved after the guns were missed
