The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-20

Summer is over says Henry Wallace,
sTt's time to come out fighting!
That means all of the people-you and
us and all our friends-in this period of
giddy initiation, of attacks against our rights
and security. of the mounting danger of
World War III.
In Chicago, that means the Star espe-
cially. For The Star, as the spokesman of
broad labor progressive and minority
groups, is in the key position to spearhead
and consolidate this fight for the people.
The Star can be made into a powerful
weapon for all of us. But it will take your
suggestions and full support. That's why
we want to discuss with you now certain
plans for the immediate future.
BEFORE WE get on the subject of high
prices let's first talk about the coming judi
cial elections when, for the first time, we
have an alternative to the hand-picked
coalition" slate chosen jointly by the bosses
of the Republican and Democratic parties.
This alternative is the slate of well
qualified, outstanding candidates chosen by
the new Progressive Party and backed by
more than $4,000 registered voters This
slate could mean new and better type OF
Superior Court instead of an instrument of
rule by-injunction, OF restrictive covenants,
of graft and corruption.
That's why the judicial campaign is of
fundamental Importance, and ranks high on
The Stars agenda for this fall For if Star
readers get solidly behind the Progressive
Party slate, we will not only put in office
judges who owe allegiance only to the
people and not to the bosses of either major
party but we will also prove what can be
done through independent political action.
MORE than that, we will be getting set
for '48 and the national elections. A large
independent vote in the judicial elections
will strengthen the people in their fight
against Wall Street and the military clique
who now dominate the federal government.
This is the group that has sent
prices looming and boosted the cost of
living out of sight of our pocketbooks.
We must fight them-not only in the
judicial elections and 48-but now!
We-all the people, spearheaded by Star
readers must fight the monopolies and
trusts who are driving us to the disaster
of an economic crash.
We must fight racial bigotry and vio-
lence such as the riots at Fernwood Gar
dens, the attempted hate strike at Wells
High School, and the growing expressions of
anti-Semitisn.
We must fight Taft Hartleyism and the
Gripping curbs on the labor unions
WE MUST FIGHT for adequate low
cost housing for all.
Those are immediate tasks. It is the
job of The Star to 'come out fighting!"
Because The Star speaks FOR you and
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-20

you buy for five cents. In other words, we
operate at growing loss.
And, although The Star is unlike other
peoples paper in that at no time since it
began publication has it resorted to
money-raising campaign, the fact remains
that our financial condition is critical
FOR THIS REASON. we are asking
your help as Star readers and supporters
who know the need for this paper in this
critical era, to work with us in Star
building campaign.
We want you to help make The Star an
integral part Of the judicial campaign. We
intend for many new readers to be intro
duced to The Star and that many thousands
of new subscribers will grow out of the
work of canvassers on behalf of the Pro-
gressive Party ticket.
We are. therefore. asking that all
organizations actively involved in The
fight for Independent Superior Court
judges order bundles of The Star for
use in door bell ringing and in shop
be brought TO your organization in COM
ing weeks.
In this way, The Star can become the
instrument for welding the great indepen-
dent coalition now taking shape in this
nation. We will be getting set for '48.
THERE ARE ALSO other tasks that
you-and only you-can perform.
1. Your subscription makes this paper
possible But between now and the end of
November, some 1907 subscriptions will
expire. You can help us maintain our pres
ent circulation by renewing your subscrip-
ton or personally seeing to it that renewals
are obtained from those readers to whom
you originally sold subscriptions.
2. At the same time, you can get one
just ONE-new subscription between now
Ald the judicial elections. This will not
only broaden the influence of your own
newspaper but increased circulation will
enable us to cut the cost of production which
is now eight cents per copy and thus
strengthen our financial condition
Our sights must be set to achieve a
total of 10000 new subscriptions and re-
newals by the end Of the year, plus an addi-
tional 5000 papers sold in bundle orders.
3. Or you can give fund raising party
for The Star at your home Invite your
friends, tell them about our newspaper, and
ask their help. The Star must raise a total
of Gin nm thrp,1oh contributions onJ itc
New Years Eve parties.
4. Or you can buy bond from the
Peoples Publishing Association and invest
in the future of your own newspaper.
New readers and new support for The
Star - thousands of new people being
reached every week with a fighting peoples
paper,-this is our objective in the coming
months.

FEW CITIES MEET MODERN NEEDS

'gf our cities were properly PLAIN
ned," decleares Mayor Will F: Devin, of
Seattle, Washington, they would not now
contain the factories which are driving
people into the suburbs. ..-r
Z The truth of the matter is that the
the nation has few cities which were plan
ned at all, much less properly planned"
Most of our municipalities just happened
to grow and the same observation applied
to their suburbs today
There is little that anybody can do
about the narrow streets and the longest
ed conditions of the modern city, but there
: is still time to prevent similar conditions
; from becoming permanent in the suburbs
: surrounding our cities Every state should
enact legislation to provide for urban
growth and expansion by intelligent plan
ming, instead of the haphaard method that
has produced the present problems.

WE WONDER

Sometimes when you are meditating
you may recall an incident of many years
ago that evokes either smile or a frown
A frown is frown but smiles are OF
many types, some of which are not pleas
ing. A statement, which is known to be RI
diculous may produce an amused smile
in the listener, and there is the smile OF
resentment that it followed by the exple-
tive, "Hunh!"
The smile with the "Hunh recur-
red to The Citizen Saturday when it read
in a Miami paper about g. the threat
of the underworld to elect three puppets
to the commission Tin MiamD, a majority
who would turn the operation of the COM
munity over to the gambling syndicates
and the overlOrds of entrenched vice."
The "Hunh!'' smile came to us when
we wondered what Governor Caldwell
would think of that report published in
reliable paper-Governor Coldwell who, a
few months ago, said that conditions claw
violations) were worse in Monroe county
than in any other county in the state.
Well, Key West, on November a, ell
ected three members of the city commits
sion with no interference from the under
world or any other subversive element.
The election was orderly, and every one
of the Is candidates was given fair and
square deal at the polls.
But up in Miami, where three COM
missioners will be elected on November
25, the underworld is trying to get con-
troll of the city commission to give. free rein
to the gambling syndicates..
As The Citizen remarked at the time
the Governor stigmatized Monroe county,
more money changes hands in an hour in
gambling rackets in Miami at height of
the season than in Key West in an entire
year.
Yes, we wonder what Governor Cald-
we'll will say or think when he reads the
Miami paper about the underworld trying
to get control of the city commission by
electing three puppets

CONTROL ESSENTIAL

While there may be some differences
of opinion as to whether the State Depart
ment or congressional authority should
assume control of the assistance which this
country is preparing to extend to Western
Europe, there is general agreement that
the United States must have, as Senator
Tom Connally asserts, direct supervision
over the money it advances
The situOtion In Europe seems to be
getting worse while the nations await Am
erican action. A dispatch from Geneva in
dicates that general revaluation of cur
rencies in Europe is approaching, with
France and Belgium exerting pressure
upon the British to join in the general re-
adjustment of currencies.

HUNTERS FACING DEATH

We have about reached the time of the
year when newspapers will be carrying
articles headed, Fatally Shot in Hunting
Accident"
It requires no gift of prophecy to fore
see these accidents because they have oc-
Cured for many years. Some are the re-
suit of inexperience in handling guns
others result from carelessness with fire
arms and others come about when over
anxious hunters cut loose blasts at NAV
ing bush.
While on the subject, we might as
well call attention to the number of peO-
pie shot'when some practical joker points
an "unloaded gum at victim This is
not necessarily associated with hunting
but, very often, hunter gets load of
shot because some other hunter didn't
think the gun was loaded"
AS far as we have been able to study
accidents of the kind We have rarely
found one which could not have been pre-
vented by the exercise of sound and ma
ture judgment.

WORLD FACES SHORT DIETS

"There is no hope" that the food
shortage now threatening world stability
will end with the harvest of 1913, accord
ing to Sir John Boyd Orr, Drector-G
al for the United Nations Food and Agri-
culture Organization.
The British expert points out that
stocks are so low that a bumper cereal
harvest next year will not eliminate bread
rationing for 1949 and that the shortage
of fats and oil and livestock products will
continue for longer period.
The Director-General points out that
hunger, if long-continued, will result in
social and political unrest and warns that
further shocks to distracted and impov-
erished world economy may lead to COM
plete breakdown of the structure of hui
man society.

FOR KEY WEST HOUSEWIVES

Here is interesting news for the AM
erican housewife:
a. Food supplies in 1948 will be less
than in 1947, and
(2) Retail food prices will remain high
for most of next year
The information comes from the De-
partment of Agriculture, which usually
knows what it is talking about. Neverthe-
less, many Americans will be able to sup
plement their food supplies and to do
something about high prices by planting
gardens and raising some of their vege-
tables.

TERRORISM IN ITALY

A wave of violence in Northern Italy,
involving attacks and death for some of
those opposing Left-wing political parties,
leads to the suggestion that the terrorism
is part of cotnmunistic plan to intimidate
Italian voters before the election next
March
The Italian Government, taking note
of the violence, has added 10000 men tb
it's militaried police. This seems to be a
timely move but whenever desperate
minority makes up it's mind to resort to
terrorism, the forces of law and order face
a challenge that is hard to meet.
