he has labored under tremendous handi-

taking over the managership in a war
year, with manpower shortages approach
ing peak, he brought the Mats from
seventh to second place in 1943, feat
which won him the title of manager of
the year" The shortage of good players
began to have it's effect in succeeding sea-
sons, with morale of the team wavering
as its standing dropped. Joe Kuhel, the
new manager, will take over a seventh
place club just as Bluege did five years
ago. If he can lift the team back into the
first division, as his predecessor succeeded
in doing in 1943, Washingtons fans will

no one will be happier than Retiring

Shuke-Up in Britain

Prime Minister Attlee's extensive over
hauling of the British Labor government
appears to be aimed primarily at improv-
ing administrative efficiency. Though
slight swing to the Socialist right has been
read into it, it's political significance seems
noteworthy only in the sense that it in
dicates some measure of concern in high
places over criticism against official in
competence. Apart from that, however,
there is little apparent reason to regard
the shake-up as anything more than an
effort to meet Britains economic crisis by
placing better men in positions of top
responsibility.
The first move to that end was made
last week when Mr.. Attlee named Sir
Stafford Cripps to become Minister for
Economic Affairs-a post carrying with 1t
extraordinary dictatorial powers to cope
with emergency conditions in the British
economy This has now been followed by
the ousting or demotion of several cabinet
members and more than score of lesser
officials. Chief among those affected is
Emanuel Shinwell the Labor Partys left
wing chairman. whose record as Fuel and
Power Minister has been under attack ever
since last winters coal crisis temporarily
paralyzed industry in Britain.
Though most of them are little known

up has done away with enough dead
wood to strengthen the Labor govern
ment. The key figure in the new setup
will be Sir Stafford Cripps. Recognized
generally-even by the opposition-as an
exceptionally gifted individual, he will be
the driving force behind every major
measure the British take now to surmount
their economic troubles. 1t may therefore
be assumed that he has had an important
voice in the cabinet reshuff1e and the
selection of those officials who will have
to work closely with him in dealing with
the crisis. ~ &5Es s@a&&
Sir Stafford himself has been at pains
to emphasize the gravity of that crisis
and to warn of "a gradual economic
strangulation" unless prompt and drastic
action is taken. Besides stressing the i'm
portance of new dollar aid, he has made
clear that the British must resort to emer-
gency domestic measures-an outlook de-
manding as much administrative vision
and efficiency as possible. If Mr.. Attlees
shake-up falls short of what is needed,
if the situation continues to grow worse,
opposition demands for a coalition govern
ment are likely to SNOWFALL. Indeed, as
Winston Churchill predicted the other day,
there may be a new national election in
which the Conservative Party conceivably
could be voted back in.

Ossie BIueqe's New Job

Even the grandstand post-mortem boys
who have been criticizing the management
of the Washington Ball Club will be glad
to know that the Senator's while losing
Ossie Blueges services as manager, will
have the benefit of his special talents in
another line. If there has been room for
debate as to Ossies managerial qualifica-
tions, there is no question as to his ability
as trainer of ballplayers. He will have
ample opportunity to exercise this ability
in his new job as director of the Mats
farm clubs.
It was Bluege's capacity for instructing
infielders in the fine points of the game
that was factor in inducing Clark
Griffith to appoint him as successor to
former Manager Bucky Harris at the close
of the 1912 season. Described by President
Griffith as the best third baseman he ever
saw, Ossie helped to hasten his own retire
ment from the third corner by schooling
Rookie Cecil Travis to succeed him. When
Travis later was shifted to shortstop, Ossie
trained another rookie, Buddy Lewis, in the
amazingly smooth Bluege technique of
snagging grounders out of the dirt and
whipping them. off balance, to second or
first His near-fawless coverage of third
base had much to do with Washington's
capture of its three pennants and its only
world championship.

The Niagara Lives Again

An Associated Press report from Harris
burg recalls one of the truly great incl
dents in the history of the United States
Navy The dispatch tells how search
successfully has been made for "old salts"
capable of rigging the famous brig Niagara,
second flagship of Lieutenant Oliver Haz-
ard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie, Sep
tember g, 1873 These veterans of the
Atlantic seaboard are to raise the sails OF
the celebrated vessel so that, if desired,
she may move once more over the waters
of the inland sea for the defense of which
she originally was built. In her present
condition she has been lying In Erie
Bay since she was largely reconstructed in
1918. She needs her Superstructure to
"look" her real self again, and the whole
Nation will be glad to hear that veteran
tars finally have been found to do the
required work.
The Niagara was sister craft OF the
45O-ton Lawrence, named for the hero OF
the contest between the Chesapeake and
the Shannon, immortal for his plea Don't
give up the ship!" Both brigs were put
together by civil contractors at Pressure
Isle in the winter of 1912, and the spring
of the next year. The task of assembling
them was Trojan labor. Timber came
from the adjoining forests-chestnut, pine
and oak; but canvas, cannon, muskets,
small arms, powder and other supplies
"had to be brought 500 miles through
country thinly Inhabited; and members
of the crews mostly were raw recruits al
together unframed for hostilities afloat.
To Perry's genius as leader was due the
eventual development of a squadron equal
to the force gathered by the British across
the lake. The foes commander was Cap
tain Robert Heriot Barclay, who had
fought under Nelson at Trafalgar and was,
indeed, a worthy opponent.
Both sides welcomed the meeting, both
understood that tremendous results would
follow. The first shot was fired from the
Detroit, Barclays newly completed flag
ship Within few minutes the Lawrence,
with Perry on board, had been reduced to
q wreck Only fourteen men remained on
their feet on her deck. At the apex of the
struggle Perry decided to transfer to the
Niagara then in charge of Jesse D. Elliott.
The feat was dangerous In the extreme.
It was accomplished under the smoke OF
the British guns. THE second phase OF

Employ the Handicapped

The campaign to encourage wider en-
plcyment of the physically handicapped
is not onesided in its benefits. This is a
two-way program offering advantages to
the businessman as we'll as to the person
who is willing and able to make living
If given the opportunity. District Com
missioner John Russell Young is correct
in stating that it is not charity to hire a
handicapped employe, but common sense" !"
1t is common sense not only because it
transforms community liability into an
asset, but because experience during the
war disclosed that employees suffering from
some disability were fully as reliable and
efficient as those without any impairment
more so in some respects. For example,
a study by the Department of Labor showed
that physically handicapped workers, as a
general class, had lower rate of absentee
ism, less tardyism, fewer accidents and
better production records than their fellow
workers. They were determined to show
their worth, and they did.
The employer who finds place in his
establishment for the average handicapped
person in search of a job will have no
cause to regret it, according to officials
who have studied this problem. There
are more than thirteen hundred of these
potential workers registered at the local
United States Employment Office. About
eight hundred and fifty of them are war
veterans. All are eager to become self
supporting citizens. If given the chance,
they stand ready to demonstrate that the
employer who helps them will be helping
himself as well. .'

A Sensible RuIinq

There can be little doubt that the ruling
by the National Labor Relations Board on
the Communists affidavit issue is better
calculated to further the purposes of the
Taft-Hartley Act than was the earlier
Interpretation by it's general counsel,
Robert N. Denham.
, The question was close one. Mr.. Den
ham had ruled that the language of the
law, literally construed required that affl-
davitS disclaiming Communist affliation
be signed by officers of the AFL and CIO
before any of the member unions could
use the facilities of the Labor Board. And
the wording of the particular section in
volved seemed to supportehis position. The
board, however, with one of it's five men,
bers dissenting, held that a proper inter-
probation of the entire act having in mind
the intent of Congress in passing the
statute, permitted the conclusion that AFL
and CIO officials, as distinguished from
officers of national and international
unions, were not required to sign the
affidavits
1t seems clear that this is the sensible
Interpretation, for the adoption of Mr.
Denham's ruling would have made it pos
sible for John L. Lewis out of sheer ca
priciousness, to have barred any AFL union
member from using the boards facilities
And any officer of the CIO could have done
the same thing. If the boards interpre-
tation does not reflect the intent of Con-
gress, then Congress can amend the law
next year. But the statements which have
hu
Taft and Ball indicate that nothing of the
sort will be attempted.
1t would be mistake, of course, to
assume that the boards ruling solves the
problem of Communists in the labor move
ment. All that it does is to guard against
some Of the harsher consequences that
would have emerged from the >Denham
ruling.
A single Communist official of any ma
tional or international union still retains
the power, by refusing to sign the affi-
davit, to keep his union from going to the
Labor Board. Or the Communists, unless
they are known as such, can sign the affi-
davits If they are willing to run the risk
OF prosecution for perjury. Another
suggestion is that in those unions which
are dominated by Communists the latter
will get around the law by giving up off,
cial posts, while continuing to hold paid
jobs enabling them to control the union.
The Communists are fully capable of
any OF these things. And it is hard to
see how they can be reached effectively
by any law. The problem, in the last
analysis, is one to be solved by that vast
majority of union members who are not
Communists or Communist sympathizers.
They can throw the Communists out when
they get ready to do So And until they
do get ready, the Communists probably
will stay on

Out of Step With Cartoonist

To the Editor of The Star:

with The Star because Of Jim Berrymans

realistic view of the present economic plight,
Of Europe.
believe that these cartoons do not represent
the policy of The Star, since their sentiments
are not reflected throughout the rest OF the
paper And yet, the times are so critical, the
need for strong, healthy and united Western
world so perilously urgent that the mere sight
of these drawings, expressing such an archaic
attitude, is extremely painful.
These are days just as truly as during the
battles of the recent World War, when person
hungrily seizes the daily paper to find some
word of hope, some word of assurance that the
fight being waged for universal peace Is
not going against us. From purely selfish
standpoint, how can we win this fight II our

Security Principle C-5

The Star is in full sympathy with the
aims of the security principles which have
been announced by the State Department.
Our relations with Russia being what they
are, it is essential that the confidential
activities of the department be kept con-
fidential. And in those inevitable cases of
conflict between the right of the Govern
ment to maintain security and the personal
rights of an individual borderline
cases where fair minded men would enter
tain reasonable doubt-it still seems essen
tial that such doubts be resolved in favor
of security.
This being said, however, the fact re-
mains that there is an area of reasonable
ness in the laying down of these principles
which ought not to be exceeded It seems
clearly to have been exceeded in the case
of Security Principle C-5.
This principle defines as security risk
"any person who has such basic weakness
of character or lack of judgment as reason
ably to justify the fear that he might be
led into. any course of action specified
above" Gn the other and more specific
definitions of security risks.
How is a State Department employe
accused under C-5 to defend himself? He
is not permitted to see the evidence against
him. He may neither confront nor cross
examine his accusers. How does he go
about contesting the charge of weakness
of character or lack of judgment and how
can his judges pass accurate judgment
on him?
1t is only fair to point out that there
is an important distinction between the
actual abuse of regulation and the mere
possibility that it may be abused. Never
theless, Security Principle C5 opens up so
many possibilities of abuse, and it seems
so unnecessary, that it cannot be accepted
without the strongest protest This provi-
sion either should be abandoned or 1t
should be rewritten so as to give an accused
person a reasonable opportunity to know
what he is charged with and to meet the
charge.

Prefers Australia-Too Late

Writing from Canberra, Australia, Mr. Falk
said in part that Australia is not exactly the
land of ice cream and honey. He also re-
peated that Stanley Blumenthal, secretary of

warned that Australian labor standards are
very high"
