up traffic and becoming danger to
pedestrians
In the first instance, supposing that there
would be some branch Of city government to
deal with such common occurrence, notified
q nearby policeman, who told me to phone the
dog pound The pound, in turn, told me that
they could not pick up strays unless some one
held the dog until their driver arrived, which,
In this case, would be from two to three hours
since their driver was on the other side OF town.
The Animal Rescue League gave the same
story, helpfully suggesting that they would be
glad to pick UP the dog If he were dead (Which
he stood . good chance of being. in the $3.50
early morning trafnc).
It is absurd to think any one could hold a
large German shepherd dog (Which might not.
because of extreme fright, be too friendly
while hunting q telephone booth, then hang
on to the same unfriendly animal for about two
hours (being late for work In the meantime).
It is inevitable that pets-though kept on
leash-Inay at times break loose and become
lost. Some provision should be made whereby
at least one Of the numerous humane agencies
in washington assume responsibility in such
emergencies, without asking passersby to help
by holding the animal, as well as contributing
time and money in notifying the agency.

No Holds Barred

President Truman may have felt that
some OF the language in his messages Veto
ing the tax bill and the labor bill had
burned the last bridge between himself
and a good relationship with the Repub-
lican Congress- If he was not already of
this opinion, however, he must be con-
frmed in it now in view of the tone of his
statement which accompanied his sigma
ture of the rent control BILL
The President attacked as basic weak
nesSes of this new bill the provision for
a fifteen per cent voluntary increase in
rents and sections which he said would
undermine the emergency housing pro-
gram. Whatever the merit or otherwise
of these contentious, there are two aspects
Of the matter which the President failed
to mention. One of these Is that rent is
the only item in the family budget which
has remained under control since the be-
ginning of the war. All other costs, as
well as incomes, have gone up sharply.
AND it seems on the face of the matter
that there must be some merit in the claim
for relatively modest boost in rents. In
any event, rent controls cannot be kept
forever, and there must come time,
sooner or later, when the prospect of
higher rents will have to be faced. The
other aspect has to do with the Presidents
claim that the new law will cripple the
housing program. That program, under
the old law, has fallen far short of ex-
pectations. The lifting of controls may
hamper 1t still more. But it is at least
highly doubtful that the program, even
under the old law, would have been any
more successful in the future than 1t has
been In the past.
These attacks on the bill seem less
significant, however, than the political i'm
plications of Mr.. Truman's statement. "It Is
clear" he said, that insofar as the Con-
gress is concerned it is this bill or no rent
control at all. I have chosen the lesser
OF two evils" Then he went on to make
a generalized attack on the real estate
lobby" which he said has displayed
"rHthless disregard of the public welfare"
Although the President did not put it
in so many words, he plainly implied that
Congress had bowed to the dictates of this
lobby at the expense of the people. This
extreme denunciation of the "brazen
operations" of the real estate lobby, coming
from a President who remained silent in
in the face of the campaign by the labor
lobby to defeat the labor bill and induce
him to veto it, seems paradoxical to say the
least. But even if Mr.. Truman believes
that only real estate 1obbies are iniquitous,
how does he account for the willingness
of Congress to appease the landlords at
the price of antagonizing the far more
numerous and politically more important
renters?
The implicit indictment of Congress is
one which does not make great deal of
sense, and which may best be explained
on the theory that the gloves have been
taken of and that the 1948 political
slugging match, with no holds barred. is
off to an early start.

Initial Air Safety Program

The Presidents Special Board of Inquiry
on Air Safety has acted promptly to safe
guard the public against one type of
aviation hazard-that involving take-of
of plane from an airport. AS Chairman
Lands of the board points out however,
serious accidents of this nature are very,
very rare
However rare these accidents may be, 1t
cannot be truthfully said, of course, that
the preliminary report of the board is not
important. The heavy death. toll in the
take-off crash not long ago at La Guardia
Field attests the urgent necessity OF re-
viewing existing regulations and pro-
eedures in such operations. The report
does not attempt definitely to fix the cause
OF the La Guardia tragedy. The recon-
mendations made as direct result of the
investigation into that crash indicate, how
ever, that the accident might never have
occurred had the runway been longer and
had the plane been less heavily loaded.
Whether the plane would have been able
TO take off from a longer airstrip remains
q matter of doubt, for the report leaves
open the question whether the control
locking device was functioning properly.
This device freezes" the controls while
the plane is on the ground. The pilot has
testified that he released the mechanism
before starting his run.
Regardless of the reason for the planes
failure to lift from the runway, the fact
remains that had the runway been longer
the pilot could have brought the big ship
to halt without endangering the airliner
or its passengers. The lesson which the
board sees in this accident is that run
ways should be at least 800 feet longer
than the margin of safety now prevailing.
The board also recommends that care
full study be made OF allowable gross
weights for four -engine aircraft. with spe-
cial attention to effects of temperature on
weight variations. Among other sug-
gestions was one that pilots be provided
with better information regarding wind
velocity and direction during take-off and
landing operations.
The most important phase of the boards
assignment still lies ahead. 1t has to do
with reducing the possibility Of accidents

the radiac annoys his neighbors. This could
be determined by placing a noise meter at
distance Of 500 feet.
Additional revenue could be obtained by tax
ing radio announcers who yell twice as loud as
their programs; also all commentators could
be taxed from IS to 500, depending on the
number of their inaccuracies over year.
A bill of this kind with an exemption clause
for Congress, their stads and afiliates, should
have no diffculty in passing. 1t would not only
boost the Districts revenue considerably, but
would also provide for few extra swivel chairs.

nomic situation makes Britons more
anxious to seek new homes than has been
the case for generations.
So Mr.. Calwell is commissioned to do
everything to speed up the process, espe-
cially in procuring ships to carry the
throngs who want to reach Australia.
Stating that the Commonwealth is "in q
bad way for population" he expressed the
fear that, in future, Japan might again
become threat to its existence, adding:

PopuIutinq Australia

Commonwealth immigration Minister
Arthur Calwell is on flying mission which
will take him first to Britain, then to Con-
tinental Europe, and finally to Canada
and the United States. His quest concerns
what, to Australia, has become vital
issue. This is population
Australia Is a continent approximately
the size of the United States Yet it has
a population less than that of Greater
New York. This discrepancy is accounted
for by geographical and climatic factors
which make the heart of Australia virtual
desert, most of its inhabitants living
around the coastal fringes. However, the
Commonwealth is capable of supporting
much larger population than its present
total of 100000 especially with the de-
velopment of heavy industry that has
taken place in recent years. And rapid
increase in its population has, in Austria
liam eyes, become life-and- death matter
as result of the lesson taught by the
late war.
Up to a generation ago, Australia lived
a cozy, self-centered life, feeling secure
under the protection of the invincible
British Navy. It's paucity OF population
was deemed regrettable, but no urgent
need was felt to remedy the situation.
Australians prided themselves on being OF
almost pure British stock and wanted no
alien infusions of blood. Above all, Asiatics
must be kept out, in~order that Australia
might remain a white mans country. In
deed, even British immigrants were wanted
only to the extent that they did not dis
turb the high wage standards attained
by organized labor. which had gained
predominant political power. So most
Australians were content to make haste
slowly" in their population growth.
Then came Japan's furious bid for en-
pire. After Pearl Harbor. the isolated
Commonwealth was in deadly peril of a
mass invasion of Asiatic ~hordes which, If
successful, would have spelled enslavement
and submergence beneath an alien tide.
Saved only by the aid of the United States,
Australians have taken this lesson to heart,
and it is significant that Labor gov
ernment is now seeking a remedy by dras-
tic measures Standards are to be
maintained British immigrants are pre-
ferred, and North Europeans come next,
while Asiatics are still rigidly excluded.
But, within those limits, every effort Is
to be made to encourage large-scale i'm

wherein prominent Maryland man suggested
that the money spent in sending floral tributes

SO much better by contribution to the cancer

and especially those of us who had watched
beloved relative torn and racked in the last

Ambassador Loudon

Quietly, yesterday, the Netherlands Am
bassador packed his bags and slipped out
of town. No special ceremony at the
Embassy marked the veteran diplomats s
departure. DR.. Alexander Loudon had done
his job without fanfare for almost nine
years, and there was no fanfare when
he left.
The official announcement said he was
sick, and qui' e possibly he was. He was
not so sick, however as he had been during
those gruelling war years when driving
himself relentlessly he built his small
Legation into large and important En-
bassy. Three coronary occlusions, at least,
and all the medical advice there was, could
not stop him then. There was job to
be done for his country and for the free
dom-loving world. He did it.
So we'll did he do it, and so thoroughly,
that millions of Americans who never knew
Dr. Loudon's name came to think of Hol-
lands fight and Hollands suffering almost
as our own. And his courage was felt
abroad as we'll as in the United States. On
August 81, 1910, a few days after one Of
his crippling heart attacks he broadcast
from his bed in Washington direct to the
Netherlands East Indies and to the tiny
homeland. Who does not believe these
messages Of hope had their effect on the
critical balance between the oppressors
and the oppressed?
1t was through DR.. Loudons efforts that
America received one Of It's first and most
shocking lessons In the meaning of Nazi
savagery. When the Germans bombed the
open city of Rotterdam early in the war,
he demanded, obtained and released photo
graphic proof of the tragedy. DR.. Goebbels
and his broadcasters well understood the
effect Of this action on worldwide public
opinion. Furiously, they inveighed against
that crazy Dutch Minister in Washing
ton." Others felt differently few weeks
ago, President Truman inscribed his pic
ture-"To one of the ablest Ambassadors
I have ever known"
Washington welcomes DR.. Eelco van
Kleffens, who will take over the Neither
lands Embassy later this month. He Is
favorably known here, both as a former
Foreign Minister and as his country's dele
gate to the United Nations. DR.. Loudon's
work passes into capable hands. 1t is sad,
nevertheless, to say farewell to old friends.

Union Labor Itself to Blame

Union l5dDOI/l ltSSll " DldAlS
To the Editor OF The Star:
One almost would think from Dorothy
Tl,ompsons "On Record" in Wednesdays Star
(June 25) that union labor long had exhibited,
under supposedly great and long continued
provocation, q sweet and patient reasonable
ness up until the recent labor bill became
law. and only then had broken out into right
eous Indignation Also that Mr.. Truman, with
a pen carrying streamer on which were
embszoned the words, Politics Adjourned"
noby and sacrifcialy had tried to save the
country from great disaster
Unfortunately, it is impossible to accept
either of these suppositions- after making
every allowance. So vastly different are the
facts with regard to the behavior OF union labor
for the past several years that it would be
absurd to multiply words arguing the case. The
people of this country, who have suffered long
and severely from the arrogance and extortlon
Of union labor, are only too well acquainted
with the facts. Shocking behavior by union
labor, in the exercise of as rapacious and
irresponsible monopoly as ever scourged hae
people of this country, led to the enactment
of this law over the Presidents veto.
Union labor long has been encouraged to
assume the status of privileged class; and
naturally it does not take kindly to being shorn
Of some OF It's unfair privileges. Most of the
real difficulties union labor has suffered are
those it has brought upon itself by its own
ignorant and selfish action. Like the tradi-
tional robin, it but fights its own reflection in
the n1irrored glass. And Mr.. Truman, SO i'm
patient over advice offered to him about this
bill, and then all at once so eager to offer
advice to Congress, absolutely justifies the
recent editorial In The Star entitled "A Poll
tical Veto" Not the real merits Of the bill
but whether Q veto might not well render .
