Old Clothing Badly Needed

TO the EDITOR OF tne star:
While we here in Washington get out
our heaviest coats and extra blankets
to combat the coolest days and nights of
winter, countless thousands abroad have
neither coats nor blankets to protect
them from the bitter weather. More
than that, they often have no shelter
that properly could be called home.
1t is more than difficult for us to realize
all that is meant when we speak of
conditions abroad"
But little imagination can paint
picture that will help. Think of your
house some night next week with the
glass gone from the windows, the doors
closed only with pieces of cardboard,
the wind blowing in through every
crack. Then put out the lights, sit in
the dark as though you could have no
electricity. Picture your family living
in q corner Of q cellar. Consider that
the clothes you have on are the only
ones you own, and that only your shoes
keep your feet from the bare ground.
That's how winter feels to millions in
Europe and Asia right now. And that's
why the clothing drive beginning in
Washington this week Is most important.
Nearly every family here has stored
away In closets and drawers clothing
they never use, warm clothing. things
that others could wear; suits that are
outgrown, dresses and sweaters not worn
any longer, shoes, childrens clothing,
overshoes and rubbers. Your old felt
hats can be made into slippers for a
Chinese child; your old tablecloth,
diapers for an Austrian baby; your worn
blanket, decked with a patchwork
covering, could warm the hearts and
bodies of refugee family.
Gather up your extra clothing and call
Dupont 1478 for the address OF the
collection center nearest you.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial Cafeteria Stalenate"
on the lockout" of 1900 of our MEM
bers by Government Services, Inc.
misses the reasons for the stalemate
and thereby diyerts public attention
from the real issue in dispute and the
means for settling it.
The union, since the Sd of January,
has put forward only one simple,
straightforward demand-and that is
that GSI extend the contract which
expired on January l, pending negotia-
tions of new contract. This GSI has
refused to do. Their refusal constituted
lockout" Of our cafeteria local men,
bers and is the direct cause Of the pres
ent situation.
Extension of the contract Is the only
issue in dispute at the present time.
What sound reason can GSI have for re-
jecting our proposal, especially when the
union last year extended this same
courtesy to GSI at their request? It
would have cost them nothing. 1t would
have prevented an interruption of cafe
terra service to Federal employees. Rev.
A. Powell Davies, minister Of All Souls
Unitarian Church, in commenting on
managements action has stated: "The
action OF, GSI is so unreasonable as to
be incomprehensible. Every minded
citizen will support the cafeteria
workers" Not only has GSI refused ex-
tension Of the contract, but they are ac-
lively engaged In efforts to hire scab
labor to operate the cafeterias. Their
actions indicate q lack of good faith In
dealing with the union and make it clear
that the entire responsibility for inter-
ruption of service rests squarely with
GST.
The Star editorial states that "if the
present conciliation efforts reach an
impasse, there is only one logical course
Decentralization" This misses the
point. There is nothing to arbitrate.
Extension of the old contract is not an
issue for arbitration. Surely. The Star
is not suggesting that, pending negotia-
ton of new contract, our members
return to work under conditions worse
than those worked under during the
past year.

Training Against Erosion, Etc.

To the Editor Of The star:
Universal military training? Sure;
but have the trainees armed with picks
and shovels and what other implements
they would need, under direction OF
Army engineers, to keep the top OF the
country from further sliding into the
Gulf of Mexico and other waters.
AS to any other training. the next IN
line well might be training our law
makers to higher order Of statecraft.
On that point I have only to suggest
that they be limited to one term each,
but of such length as would offer the
prospect OF career. after preliminary
training, to our best intelligence.

I was glad to see activity going on as

kidney beans, cole slaw, head lettuce

finished eating and stole back to the

thing was spotless. There were few

was told that all the work had been
done by the supervisors and cashiers
who had arrived at o'clock in the
morning to prepare everything for our
hot lunch. In all, there were 20 people
to do the work.
This cafeteria normally is operated
with 10 personnel from dishwashers to
manager. The esprit de corps of
the supervisors and other help present
today and their expressed desire for a
quick and satisfactory settlement of
labor difficulties is one of the finest
examples of Americanism have seen
in our Nations Capital.

The full meaning Of the Russian re-
Guest to Norway for special privileges"
In Spitsbergen is not apparent from the
simple announcement by the Norwegian
Foreign Once in Oslo that the request
has been under consideration since 1914.
This is not simple case, as it might
appear of Russia seeking bit OF addi-
tional territory for the coal it might
obtain. For this island lies far inside
the Arctic Circle, and the delicate
nature of the subject is evidenced by
the long delay imposed on public an
nouncement of the Russian move.
The motive for Russian designs on
Spitsbergen and the effect, If they are
accomplished, go deep into the whole
subject of the balance of power between
the United States and Russia. In an
age of atomic warfare, the strategic
moves between two powerful nations
which lie far north of the Equator are
bound to be concerned with control OF
the land on the direct air routes between
them, and Spitsbergen, as will be seen
from polar map, lies on the great
circle route between the heart Of Russia
and the heart Of the Unite0 States.
1t was this concern for Arctic strategy
which impelled the United States to
seek to retain some kind of base in
Iceland, from which our aircraft oper-
ated during the war in protection OF
conveys both to Russia and Britain. It
is also the reason for various Arctic
military and naval expeditions we have
sent out to test the functioning of men
and materials under conditions Of severe
cold.
Evening star., 1947-01-13

Indirectly, the naval Antarctic expe-
dition will provide considerable data on
the operations of naval personnel and
equipment under conditions Identical
with those in the far north,
Russian pressure on Norway for a
stronger foothold in Spitsbergen comes
as no surprise in washington official
circles. At the time that the United
States was trying to obtain the right
to naval and air bases in Iceland.
Russias opposition was reinforced by
strong intimatiol that, If the United
States retained foothold in Iceland,
Russia would establish herself similarly
in Norway's northernmost territory.
The fact that the United States gave
UP the idea Of bases in Iceland does
not appear to have dissuaded Russia
from her aims in Spitsbergen and the
Oslo Foreign Ministry's announcement
at this time of Russia's request in 1914
and l945 almost certainly presages the
