A Veteran Speaks!

A Veteran Speaks! g.
To the Editor of The Star:
In my masters house there is frame of an
honorable discharge in my name. I, too, served
well my Uncle Sam, but alas and alack, I'm
not man.
The freedom for which I doggedly fought
find today avails me naught. On leash I'm
taken for a jog-my reward for being K-s
dog
It's maddening, indeed for me to see alley
cats roaming fancy-free while the law OF the
leash must obey, around the house confined
all day.
The leash I truly hate to wear. My teeth
promise not to bare. Frankly, the law find
puzzle. Doggone it, can't wear muzzle?
For canine reasons want to be free to
tarry by trGe, free to exercise at will, free to
run, or just sit still.
veteran don't ask for much. The scales
Of justice let me touch: Let the law of the
leash amended be; let muzzle-wearing dogs
run free! ANDY, z239.
Colored Boxing Commissioner Urged
To the Editor of The Star:
The Boxing Commission has released its an
nual report, but unfortunately the actual
money taken in and spent is not published.
Why not? The Commission does not tell the
citizens that the colored peonle of Washington
and the colored professional boxers account for
the many thousands Of dollars taken in by
fees and percentages of the gate receipts.
When mixed bouts were banned by former
police chief, the promoters barely kept their
financial heads above water. Today many Of
them are prosperous. Even outside promoters
come in for share Of gate receipts by bring
ing their fighters to our fight-poor town.
Negro boys are the outstanding money makers
for the promoters and commission.
Yet, astounding as it may seem to the public,
of all the paying jobs from the commissioners
down to the lowliest inspector, except for one
colored doctor who acts as a Judge at some
bouts. not single colored citizen shares in the
paying jobs OF course, colored citizen should
be on the commission. They are members In
New York, Philadelphia and dozen other
cities and States The reason no colored
referee is listed is because he must pay a size
able fee to register and then expect no job
from the commission. E. B. HENDERSON.

Rising Prices Deplored

TO the Editor of The Star:
I was interested, as everybody else must
have been, in the recent article in The Star
by David Lawrence, entitled More Pay, Less
Work"
To that might be added. I think, "the
spiral increase in the abnormal cost of living:
Round steak, SO cents pound; butter, 70 or
90 cents; milk, q cents a quart; bread, II
cents; infants shoes, IS or So.
What are a housewife Of moderate income
and, say, five or six children going to do?
Who Is to blame for a situation like that
in this supposed land of plenty? There must
be black market somewhere. But the re-
taller says he can't reduce his prices and stay

Letters to The Star
Counterboycott Threatened

AOuntSIDCyCOlI HI VdtSASA
To the Editor OF The Star:
In connection with the threatened boycott OF
the National Theater in Washington by mem
bers of Actors Equity, may inquire if anybody
has considered what will be the result OF
concerted move on the part of those of us who
are members of the Daughters OF the Con-
federacy to prevent members Of our families
attending theaters in Dallas, New Orleans, At
lanta, Richmond, and the other cities OF the
Southland wherein productions are offered rep
resenting work Of members Of Actors Equity?
You may know that approximately one
fourth of the population of these United
States is contained in the States of the South.
Will that extremely small percentage Of the
Northeastern population that is Negro make up
in attendance for the loss to the theatrical
box office of the population of the IL States
of the South? I believe that the mothers and
wives of the Southland can put quite dent
in the income of the theater world, if we pull
together. and also believe we will do so if
this thing goes further.
I have advised the members Of my family
that will not cook a meal nor sew button,
nor make note of a telephone call for any
member who attends any theater wherein the
work OF member of Actors Equity is shown.

Comments on Congressional Inquiries
To the Editor Of The Star:

Committee were permitted to be as impudent

Furthermore, it was shocking to hear the

have attended a number of hearings in
previous years and have been impressed with
the gala manners of many of those present.
1t has been obvious to me that some Of those
attending are there for good time and some,
stooges of those being investigated, are there
to help heckle the committee.
Why should the committee tolerate these
conditions? 1t is setting pattern which will
carry over into other relationships and cause
great trouble: parent and child, teacher and
pupil, Judge and witness. It reflects upon the
dignity of our chosen representatives and upon
the manners Of the American people and should
be stopped. II.

Cells at the telephone. He was

Lit up briefly, but her expression
was not one to inspire light

was frowning again. And he was

CUSAN took her own time about
= dressing. It had suddenly
dawned on her that the last
thing in the world she wanted to
do was to face Steve Cells. She
tried to remember just what she
had done the night before to just
ify Mrs. Tremont's strange COM
Ynents, but could recall nothing.
Couldn't girl have fun just once
IN a lifetime without having her
motives misconstrued?

INJURED. What do / care about a
little thing like that? I was just
having fun. And Steve was just
having fun too"
She WINGED at that last thought.
She much preferred to believe
that Steve Cells was falling in
love with her, just as Mrs. Ire
mont had said. But that. OF
course, was absurd. What chance
did she, plain Susan Brown, have
against the Linda Murchisons of
the world?
Upon thinking it over, Susan
decided that she had no reason to
feel greatly annoyed at Mrs. Ire
mont. No doubt, according to her
way of thinking, security was the
most important thing in the
world, and it was only logical that
a, girl in Susan's position should
look to the future in affairs OF
the heart. But the whole thing
was a little sickening to Susan.
"Oh. darn!" she fumed, as she
fastened blue ribbon band

that her hands were shaking

This remark, together, with the
chip which she was already car
rying on her shoulder, was too
much for Susan.
They're very fine people. Mr..
Cells, she announced in a. sud-
den burst of loyalty. "And I'm
sure they appreciate everything
you've done as their host. It isn't
their fault if they're-welI, a lit
