Do you know that the members
OF our police force work seven days
week, with the exception of two
Wednesdays off a month? Well that's
exactly what they do and it is high
time something was done about it.
The men in blue" are not the
highest paid in the world, in fact
their salaries are low compared to
present day standards, and to deny
them one day off a week is Just
plainly unfair in my book Members
OF the police force in other cities in
Maryland are on six-day week and
its high time Hagerstown police Of
ficers were put on the same sched-
ule. Here's hoping the Board of
Street Commissioners recommend
that the six-day week schedule be
put into effect and. that the Mayor
and Council act on the recommen-
dation.
The most disgusting thing l have
ever read, was Lady Astor's outburst
last week concerning the Jewish
people in Palestine This American
born woman, now a citizen of Eng
land and married to an English no
bleman-the title Lady" certainly
does not fit her-when returning to
her adopted country after visiting in
the States, made this horrible state
ment according to an AP dispatch:
Il do not care how many Jews
are killed in Palestine, my only in
terest is in the number of innocent
British who are slaughtered" And
then the woman added when the
presidency of the United States de-
ponds on the Jewish vote in New
York, think the condition stinks."
The word "stinks" was the right
word, but used in the wrong place.
She should have applied it to her
self.
l read in an APP dispatch from
Paris, last week, that the latest
trend for the female silhouette,
even for sports clothes, is ''hippy,
boson1y and wasp-waisty," I'm not
quite sure just what that means,
although it sounds a lot like the
Gay Nineties, but whatever it is,
I'm glad I'm a mere male and can
continue to wear good fashioned
Stacks during these hot days.
Saw postcard the other day from
Doc" Craft, who is vacationing in
Canada, in which he said that he was
completely worn down and ex-

haps the director of our fine museum

ing with the Rotary Club team
(where his scores show that not
much exertion is needed) if a canoe
trip leaves him in that condition.

Army to rule U. S.?
JOHN PETERS
To the Editor:

In an address before the
cadets of West Point, President
Truman made the statement
that they must be prepared to
rule the country"
There is no doubt that the
militarists of the armed services
agree with that statement most
heartily.
No less favorable to that
statement would be some of the
democracy-hating plutocrats.
The militarists in cooperation
with the plutocratic democracy
haters, led by our hill-billy
president, are slowly, surely and
with no large opposition pre-
pairing this country for military
dictatorship.
In the past two years the fol-
lowing steps have been taken
toward dictatorship.
Military men and their Wall
Street allies have captured with
Truman approval all important
posts in the Federal govern
ment.
A military secret police spy
system has been set-up on the
same Prussian-German model.
A drive against patriotic Am
orleans, in the government and
out of it, with the cooperation
of the Ku Klux Khan Congress-
men.
And, last but not least, con-
slant tension with foreign
powers, instigated by the Tru--
man administration, by means
of which the controlled press
is creating a military spirit
favorable to the formation OF a
dictatorship.
Truly the founders Of the ma
ton must be turning in their
graves.

To the Editor:

In studying the historical evil
dence presented UN by DR.. Du
Bots and his associates of the
NAACP as proof of the Ne
groes' oppression in America
and the hopelessneSs of his con-
dition, it is shocking to note
that the very historical evidence
which he narshals with such
devastating effect is the very
evidence which far too many
white progressives strive to
keep hidden through every trick
known to the masters and the
slaves.
The whole world recognizes
the strategic value and vital
izing effect of the Negro Strug-
gle of Liberation in the Ameri-
can progressive movement in
particular and world politics in
general.
The theoretical and tactical
principles governing the devel-
opment of the progressive coali-
ton in a similar national and
international setting were
threshed out by European schol-
ars and peoples leaders almost
half century ago.
Yet we find this American
progressive movement willfully
and consciously tagging behind
the liberation struggle of its
main ally-the Negro.
The net effect of this is to
turn a natural alliance or what
should be one, into tactical
alliance. The Negroes natural
instincts of self-preservation
will not allow him to be lead
into such a situation.
When all of these facts are
studied as a pattern, and when
one observes the progressive
movement stumbling along COM
bining the baseless pride and
arrogance of a Nazi'' with the
dissimulating tactics of fawn-
ing slave, the actions Of DIR.

In an informal discussion re-
Gently, a group of us began
talking about the third party
movement and realized how
much confusion there is on the
subject.
For example, what is the
purpose of a third party in~the
l948 election? What is the re-
lationship between the judicial
slate in Chicago and a third
party movement? What is the
role of Pea in the third party
movement?
These and many other ques-
tions have never been clearly
discussed. We do not expect an
honest discussion from the daily
papers in Chicago, but we do
look to The Star for information
and Qualification.
We'd like TO suggest series
of articles on the third party
movement in the U. S., its his
tory, its meaning, and generally,
more information on the need
for and the desirability of such
a movement.

evening he spotted three sleek pow

and direction and prepared to re.
port them. But man in a business

approached the skipper.
''Would $4,000 help you forget you

''How about $1o,OOO?" persisted
the man.
The skipper turned to stare him
down with the cold blue eyes of
Maine.
The man signed impatiently.
"Well, $2O,0O0?"
Just then the little steamer was
passing near a headland. Without
word, the giant picked up the man
and pitched him into the sea.
''What'd you do that for, Cap?"
asked the helmsman

takes the report and reads it into

on two units while another unit Con-

Once the new report is checked by
a supervisor it is cut into the circuit

and the old report is wiped off the

Thus one recording is being broad
cast, one is standing by in case OF
breakdown and the third is empty.
When the next recording is made the
standby and the empty are used while
the other one continues to operate.
The whole process is run automat-
ically by switches from the sound

 Eisenhower added:
 "I am impelled to remark that, in a position of grave reSponsibil- ity and one in which the delicate and critical interests of the United States were involved day by day, General Lee has performed a service to his country which has won the appreciation of associates both civilian and military, not only of our own country but of those attempting to work with us"
 Royall called Wyche's investiga- ton thorough, fair and judicial" ;" He said "the substance of the re- port is corroborated not only by the American Ambassador and the British commanders in Italy, but generally by members of the press who for a considerable period of time have had a wide opportunity to observe the conditions in the theater"
