In support of its request, the petitioner

Reservists Under the Draft

ReServ1Sts Under the Draft
To the Editor of The Star:
would like to correct an impression that
most people have concerning the Naval and
Marine Corps Reserves. Although he is exempt
from induction into the Army itself, any Re-
servist who has not had 80 days active duty
and Is between the age of 10 and rs can be
called for 81 months active duty in the Navy
or Marine Corps under the provisions OF the
Selective Service Law of June "a, 194S which
gives the Navy Department powers not con-
tanned in the Naval Reserve Act of 1888, which
stated that the Reserves could be called only
in case of war. Also draft-age Reservist can
be called into the Navy or Marine Corps with
out regard to dependents With respect to the
Presidents order that Reserve training be
speeded up, it might be expected that Reserves
with no previous military training would be
called up for 81 months duty in the near
future Is provided under the peacetime draft
law. NEIL GRAY.

Doctor Jackson an Example

Doctor Jackson an Example
To the Editor OF The Star:
Recently returned from vacationing in the
Piedmont section of q nearby Southern State.
AS went about the area, heard frequent
and favorable mention Of q "Dr. Jackson"
When inquired, learned he is Negro
dentist who has begun practicing his profess
sion in this one-time prejudiced atmosphere.
But, this wise and fine American already has
so revealed his zeal and skill and pride in
his life work that more and more white people
are availing themselves of his kindly and
sympathetic ministry, and they are continually
recommending him to their acquaintance.
This colored dentist, working in typical
Southern town, gives the answer to the vexing
problem of two different races living together
meaning America is the land of opportunity,
for each of us to so live that our differences
will be differences of worthy accomplishment
And this dentist gives the answer to the
segregation question-for when people of any
race so live that others will want to live on
their street, and with them, segregation will
end. NORMAN SANDRIDGE.

their flights, during which they reached
speeds Of approximately 2,70o miles IN
hour. The curvature of the earth was
plainly visible in the panorama, stretching
from Mexico to Wyoming and from the
Pacific to Eastern Colorado.
The results naturally suggest the poten-
tial value of rockets or guided jet craft
for military or other mapping work. With
a camera-eye W. rocket the Germans
could have photographed a considerable
portion of the British Isles-and the Allies,
similarly equipped, could have mapped
much of Germany. The Aerobee and Va
are only partially guided at present, but
eventually it may be possible to control
them more effectively by radio Winged
rockets might be made to pass over enemy
territory and land at friendly base, with
a full Photographic record of enemy
targets.
The grimmer prospect in rocket research
Is that, once an area is properly mapped,
a rocket with atomic warhead will be able
to crash its cargo onto an indicated base
or war center with deadly accuracy And,
more awesome still, the ultimate develop
ment will be an atom propelled atomic
missile capable of intercontinental and
possibly of interplanetary fight. What
every person should keep in mind is that
we are not the only nation experimenting
in these seemingly fantastic fields. There
can be no real peace of mind until the
world is assured that rockets, whether
atomic-powered or otherwise, will be used
only for peaceful purposes-such as ex-
ploration, travel and scientific research.

The Old Who Are 'Nuisances'


To the Editor Of The Star:
Why is something not done for the older
retired people of Washington? There Is always
drive on for the benefit of children or for the
entertainment of teen-agers.
Looking toward the future when I may be
retired myself, I'd hate to be forced to live as
many Of them are doing. They get some kind
Of pension, old age or Government, and are able
to pay their own way, but nobody wants them
Because they are not working, they cannot get
rooms. The only way at all they can do 80 is
to 60 out every day as though working and not
be around the house In this way they are
driven to loafing the whole day in the parks.
When It becomes too cold for that they fill store
restrooms and libraries. But they are too old
for this routine If they are too old to work,
certainly they are too old to keep working hours
without pay.
There should be hotels or special rooming
houses for these people where they could rest
during the day and not have to 60 out in rain
or snow. They look 80 tired and unhappy.
Could they not form club of their own and
have rooms where they could do as they please
and not be considered nuisances? There are
hundreds, perhaps thousands OF them.
Complaint often is made about 80 many loaf
ers in Washington What else are they to do?
am sure they do not enjoy loaflng. NIX

Landlords Rights Negligible


Why don't Federal Rent Control and
the local rent law get together? What is the
sense of having them not agree?
When you have undesirable tenants who do
not pay their rent the first of the month, you
serve them 30-day notice. That lets them hang
on until the first Of the next month In the
meantime, they dig up the rent and you have
to accept it or you lose your case. Then they re-
peat the process the next month. They can do
that Indefinitely and the landlord is stuck
with them. He can't sell his house to get rid
Of them. He can't tear down his house or
burn 1t. He can't remodel 1t or change the
structure much because the Rent Board won't
allow him any rent raise for expensive repair
work like plastering painting or papering.
If he uses any Of the remaining reasons for
eviction, Federal law allows the tenants so
days of residence yet; 50 the 30 days in Mary
land is just figure of speech. Why can't all
the laws for Maryland, Virginia and the Dis
trict be the same? We have to work in Wash
ington, but we can't buy expensive property
there. Yet we see landlords there getting q
fairer deal. If rent is two days in arrears
they can give just seven days notice and evict
undesirable tenants.
Sixty days is longer than is necessary, any
way. Most tenants do not 60 out and try to
look for place until the last two weeks. II
they haven't moved by the end of the go days,
then the landlord has to wait two more weeks
for the case to come up in court.
1t Is bad enough that Maryland law requires
the landlord to furnish heat when tenants run
in and out nine times every evening" cooling
the house off. Has landlord no rights in
this free country?

Navy Athletic Association Blamed
To the Editor Of The STAR
In the sports column "Win, Lose or Draw
by Francis stann, which appeared in your
Sunday edition, October IT, there was an
item which needs clarihcation. It stated that:
"The Navy Athletic Association officials are
displeased with the lack of interest shown by
Baltimore in Nays home games this season
and are threatening to move, which again
raises the question: Why doesn't Navy play in
Washington? Not a single game so far
which includes those with California, Cornell
and Missouri-has drawn more spectators than
Griffith Stadium can accommodate"
For several years the above mentioned asso-
citation has been riding herd on the city Of
ficials and the populace of Baltimore. There
has been no instance where goodwill was en-
gendered by that group. Is 1t any wonder that
Navy Ii playing to more empty seats than
filled?
Mr.. Siam wonders why Navy doesn't play
in Washington. Is he aware that the Babe
Ruth Stadium cannot be used for four days
before Navy game? Also, they are perturbed
to the nth degree when a football game Is
scheduled on the Sunday following one Of
their Saturday tilts. I can just see Clark
Grifhth agreeing to a set-up of this kind.
Not SO long ago, the association went all-out
to increase tl?c - :7ill of the Baltimoreans.

To Take Part In
Church Fund Drive

During l947 American Churches
gave over five million dollars in cash,
and more than fifteen million pounds
of miscellaneous supplies to help the
hungry, sick, naked peoples of war
wrecked countries in Europe and
Asia. During 1947 the Episcopal
Church raised a million dollars in
cash, and gathered tons of supplies
In view of needs that increase
rather than decrease, the Episcopal
church throughout the country is try
ing to secure another million for
1948-most of it in one day! Launch
ing the effort the Presiding Bishop of
the Church, the Ri. Rev. Henry Knox
Sheriff., will speak directly to con-
gregations gathered in their parish
churches on Sunday, February %
The services that morning will begin
and continue as usual, up to exactly
11:32l2 A. NJ, when Bishop Shcr-
rilps voice will be heard in thousands
of churches from coast to coast,
through an unprecedented combi-
nation of network and independent
radio stations.
Episcopal church leaders explain
that while Government aid and secu-
lar relief agencies can reduce phys-
cal want and provide basic essentials
of life, such agencies connot attempt
to offer the spiritual vitality so lack
ing in the war-disrupted countries.
Only the church can do this. The
United Nations is authority for the
statement that today two-thirds of
the people alive in the world are not
getting enough to eat. Half of the
people, more than a billion of them,
are living close to the starvation line.
Forty percent of the people near
starvation are children under fifteen.
Said UN statement, This arith-
metic of tragedy presents a vivid pic
ture of the so-called growing gener-
alton. To an alarming degree it is
picture of a dying generation"
In Oakland, St. Matthew's Parish
is cooperating fully in the Episcopal
relief campaign. The Rev Austin
Schildwachter supplied the infor-
nation that the radio equipment will
be set up and that everything will be
in order so that at the specified in
slant, the Presiding Bishop will be
heard.

Specialist Outlines
Crop Change For
Greater Production

Changes in cropping systems that
will result in greater yields this com
ing year were today called to the at
tention of Maryland farmers. John
Magruder, Extension Specialist in
Agronomy at the University, points
out that considerable Increases may
be obtained without causing excessive
loss Of fertility.
Heading the list of recommended
practices is the substitution of corn
for other feed crops wherever prac-
ticable Corn will give the farmer
more total feed per acre than any
Other crop" he explained "and many
farmers can make good use Of stovc
as bedding of supplement feed.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-02-19

Ladino clover-orchard grass pas
ture is another of the newer practices
which some farmers are using as a
means of getting more feed for live
stock 1t may be used in place of red
clover and timothy pasture, or may
be seeded on Kentucky Bluegrass
white clover pasture that is being
renovated.
The increased use of lime in the

state should allow many farmers to
substitute alfalfa for part Of the red
clover in hay seedlings on we'll drained
soils which are fertile or moderately
fertile. This is an especially i'm
portant practice if the hay is to be
harvested more than one year. "This
year the seed of alfalfa is cheaper
than red clover seed adapted to this
area" he added.
