vicProprietors

The desire to possess whole city or at
least whole village unquestionably has
motivated many different men. Alexander
the Great was simply town builder with
q sword. julius Caesar founded dozens of
communities and his nephew Augustus
brought still larger numbers OF them into
existence. Even in modern times the urge
to create centers of human activity to
order has been q force of historic account.
Brigham Young designing Salt Lake City
represents an example which will occur
to everybody. Other civic architects of the
same or similar type were Josiah Wedg-
wood, the potter who sponsored Etruria.
and Robert Owen, the Welsh apostle OF
cooperation, who established New Lanark
in England and New Harmony in Indiana.
Now to join these celebrated pioneers
comes Harry Helm of Baltimore and San
Diego, a manufacturer of Christmas tree

Mr.. Trumun Stands Pot

The Presidents letter to the United
States Conference of Mayors was written
after the break in the market, but there
is nothing In Mr.. Truman's message to
indicate that the price slump has softened
his insistence on economic controls.
Actually, the letter makes no SPECIFIC
mention of the market and Its errat1c be-
havior. This studied silence may mean
that the President is as much in the dark
as the rest of us as to the significance of
the break Perhaps he, like Paul Porter,
lust does not know what to expect. (Mr.
Porter, former OPA administrator, told a
radio audience: II don't know-and
neither does any one elSe-what these
gyrations in commodity prices really mean.
1t could be temporary, or prices could fall
still further, or they could 60 up") There
is a strong suggestion in the letter, how
ever that the President does not expect
continued price relief from the drop in
commodity prices. For in his message
to the mayors he insisted that the
rise In living costs must be permanently"
checked, and he adds that action by
Congress on his control recommendations
Is necessary eff we are not to suffer still
further from imitation"
But If the Presidents recommendations
ever had a ghost of chance of being
enacted this year, which is doubtful, that
chance has been pretty effectively snuffed
out by the slump in prices. Mr.. Truman
evidently believes that the downward turn
is temporary, that prices will rise again
and attain even higher levels than before.
He may be right about this. But even
though time may vindicate him, he is not
going to get his control program through
this Congress by maintaining a discreet
silence on the action of the commodity
market. To get legislative action, asSum-
ing that this is at all possible, the Presi-
dent would have to demonstrate that the
price level Is going to reach new highs, or,
at the least, he would have to submit con-
vincing arguments that this will be the
case. That is something, however, that
neither Mr. Truman nor any one else
can do.

lnvitution to Abuse

The Court of Appeals has just an
nounced a decision in search and seizure
case which invites serious abuse OF 1ndl-
vidual rights by the police.
A suspected gambler rented room in
house owned by some one else. Three po-
lice officers went to the house and one OF
them opened a window and entered
downstairs apartment. Brushing aside the
startled occupant of the apartment, the
oficer let his colleagues into the house,
which they proceeded to search room by
room. When they reached the defendants
room at the back on the top f1oor the OIL
GERS peeked through transom. Inside
they saw the defendant, another man.
some adding machines, some money and
numbers slips. The men and the equip
ment were taken into custody, although
the officers ut no time had warrant
either to search the place or to arrest the
defendant.
Two of three judges of the Court of
Appeals have held that this high handed
procedure did not violate the constitu-
tional prohibition on unreasonable search
and seizure. The dissenter, Associate
Justice Edgerton, thought otherwise.
The majority ruling rested on two points
first, that the defendant had no interest
In the house and, second, that the act
of spying on him through the transom
was not search. Justice Edgerton de-
cIared: "A roomer's constitutional right
of privacy lis o fiction unless 1t
includes q right not to be spied upon by
trespassers who force their way into his
corridor. To hold that Mcdonald
(the defendant) cannot complain because
he Is only a roomer perverts the letter
as well as the spirit of the constitutional
guaranty against unreasonable searches
and creates discrimination in civil rights
that is out of place in democratic
society"
Justice Edgerton has much the better
of this debate. For II the majority deci-
sion means, as appears to be the case,
that the police can force their way into
rooming houses with impunity and then
make arrests on the basis of whatever they
may find after their illegal entry, the
way is indeed open to dagrant abuses.

ornaments. The Associated Press reports

poses to make 1t a capital OF the Yule-
tide decorations industry. Included in his
acquisition is cotton duck mill upon the

reopened and the new proprietor has an
nounced that he hopes to employ a
majority of the available hands" A
permanent Christmas display is to be
erected in the town with figures from
nursery rhymes and stories" Thus a halt
to economic strangulation" may be
achieved.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Helm will have fun.

Olive Branch Spurned

The disclosure that Senator McGrath,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, will not attend Georgia's Jack
son-Jefferson Day dinner after all will be
taken in some quarters as another bit OF
evidence that the Democratic high COM
mand really is holding out an olive branch
to Henry Wallace and his third-party ad-
herents If so, however, they are getting
precious little encouragement from Mr..
Wallace.
A mixup on dates provides convenient,
but not very convincing, explanation OF
the McGrath decision to stay away from
Atlanta. The Rhode Island Senator had
accepted an invitation to address the din
ner on March S and had said that he
intended to keep the engagement despite
the fact that neither the pros nor the ants
in the civil rights debate seemed to be
very happy about it. He was advised yes
terday by Governor Thompson of Georgia,
however, that, of all things, meeting of
school teachers had made it necessary to
postpone the Jackson Jefferson dinner to
March 9. Senator McGrath said he could
not attend on that date.
All of this may or may not have had
anything to do with Henry Wallace and
his third-party doings. But it is fact
nevertheless that Mr.. Wallace has been
kicking up quite rumpus about the sched-
uled McGrath speech. Addressing Harlem
audience Sunday. the former Vice Presi-
dent tried his best to turn the Negro vote
away from President Truman, just as,
earlier in the day, he had tried to drive a
wedge between the Democrats and their
New York Jewish supporters. OF the
scheduled McGrath speech, Mr.. wallace,
noting that the national chairman would
observe the "proprieties, had this to say:
Senator McGrath apparently does not
know that there is nothing courteous or
gallant about catering to hatred prejudice
and segregation"
Mr.. Wallace's appeal to the Jewish voters
was made in the Bronx, and he told his
audience there that he had been invited
by New York's Mayor ODwyer to rejoin
the Democratic Party because "the Demo-
cratic high command in Washington is
scared to DEATH" From that point he went

No Sense of Rhythm

To the Editor Of The Star:
In considering the musical appreciation and
education Of the Washington general public,
a symphony orchestra and national conserva-
tory of music are fine things. but, In this
writer's opinion something still more basic
and fundamental is the greater need in order
to achieve these desired results
Unless one is in a position to discover the
facts, he is not aware that q large majority
OF the people in this country, including the
present generation of school children, is Woe
fully lacking in an innate feeling for time and
rhythm. This condition can be laid directly at
the door of the modern school Of social dancing
and to jazz bands. Witness a scene on a bali
room floor! Nobody pays attention to the So
called music, each couple goes its own ndivid-
ual way, neither hearing nor caring for pulse
beat of any kind. The simple fact Is we'll
known: Should fashion require people to dance
to music, 30 per cent would be spectators in
stead Of participants.
The situation steadily is growing worse with
each succeeding generation I know whereof
speak. cannot see the sense of giving SYM
phony orchestras to generation of people who,
left to their own devices, cannot keep correct
time to simple bar of music.

on to belabor the administration. specifl-
cally including the President and most OF
his works.
Perhaps, in the face even Of this rebuff
and of the manifest impossibility of meet
ing the Wallace terms without abandoning
the principles for which it has stood, the
administration is trying to WOO Mr.. Wal
lace back into the party fold. This is hard
to believe, but it may be so. In the light
of the things Mr.. Wallace is saying, how
ever, the administration could hardly
welcome him back into the family circle
and still expect to command the respect
of the voting members of the Democratic
Party.

Improvement in Racial Relations
To the Editor Of The star:
At long last the national conscience seems
to be awakening to the fact that our moral
efforts abroad will lag so long as we do not
prove that democracy works we'll at home.
Eastern ideologies and racial animosities will
decrease in proportion to the progress we make
in getting rid of segregation, racial discrimina
ton as q public policy and religious bigotry.
A series Of fortnight condemnations of the
denial OF civil rights to our minorities has
added to our prestige abroad. The Racial Re
lstions report from the recent social survey: the
reports of the Commissions on Higher Edu
cation and Civil Rights, followed by the forth
right recommendations in the Presidents mes
sage, all make great strides forward.
Locally the trend towards true democracy Is
marked. Here are q few indications. In
sports, all Of the daily newspapers have worked
for the elimination Of the color ban. The
Golden Gloves tournament proceeded without
incident; the AAU championship boxing
contests are about to begin and about one
third of the competitors will be colored boys;
The Star meet proved that Washington fans
are as good sports as any other audience in
the Nation In the SOUTH colored boys have
played on the campuses of the University Of
Virginia, in Texas and in North Carolina.
Recently Mr. Uline threw open his doors to
all spectators regardless of race.
The resistance of colored parents, PTA's
and civic groups to further extension Of segre
CATION and an insistence upon equality of op
portunity are heartening straws in the wind.
Sober thinking Americans, backed by Supreme
Court decisions, are weighing the costliness Of
racial prejudice.
All through recent developments runs the
thread of opposition to segregation. AS We
often have said, the only justification for sesre-
CATION in democracy is to separate carriers
of infection from well people; to confine the
dangerously insane, and to Isolate criminals Tor
purposes Of rehabilitation or correction. Any
other form Of segregation is Hitlerian, and
negation Of the principles upon which our
Nation was founded.
One other hopeful sign is the appointment
by the superintendent Of local schools of
curriculum committee which will explore the
present trends in our schools towards inter-
cultural education and probably will suggest
ways and means to prevent Our children from
growing UP with prejudices and hates. Some

InterdepurtmentoI Science

DR.. Alexander WetmOre is logical choice
to be chairman of the Interdepartmental
Committee on Research and Development
established by President Truman's execu-
tive order in December. As Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution he occupies q
liaison position between the Government
and the public, as well as within the Gov
ernment itself. During the thirty -eight
years which have passed since he came
to Washington to join the Biological Sur
vey, he had accumulated abundant ex-
perence In administrative and executive
work. He has been in charge of the
National Museum since 1925. The other
Offices he has held include the presidency
Biological Society of washington, the
Washington Biological Field Club, the
Washington Academy of Science and the
Cosmos Club. He was the leader of the
Tanager expedition to the Pacific in 1923
and was secretary general of the Eighth
American Scientific Congress in 1910. The
Canal Zone Biological Area, set apart q
quarter century ago, has been largely his
affair. Meanwhile, he was engaged in
many uNpuOLclZeQ aCGlVlCleS TOT Lle COV-
ernment in time of peace as well as in
time of war
But DR.. WetmoreS training and practice
would mean little under prevailing condi-
tions were they not supported by natural
talent for getting along with people. His
craftsmanship is q notable asset in relation
to the job to which the President has
named him. Thirteen other Government
officers are to serve with him, and each one
of them represents qualities of distinction
Beyond them, however, are hundreds If
not thousands of men and women, each
engaged in scientific task of Importance
to the security and prosperity of the
national community. The committee is
pledged to "the promotion OF the national
welfare" in the full and complete meaning
of that phrase. 1t will seek an effective
correlation OF research effort wherever 1t
may be going forward. Duplication of
endeavor should be eliminated by its oper-
alton and speed and economy promoted
Each Of these objectives is q goal worth
while. Taken together, they should pro-

Cost of Streptomycin

To the Editor Of The Star
States Army returned home, married and
now has = little daughter about l year old.
After the baby arrived they discovered the
mother had developed tuberculosis and she Is
at the present in Glenn Dale Sanitorium but
has gained very little in weight or strength.
One Of the doctors at Glenn Dale suggested
&hat she take streptomycin. This is very
expensive drug for a young man who is earn
ing only $3.50 a month to buy. He, by the way,
is . very deserving person, has good habits,
works steady. II his wife's health is to be
restored, he must have help. 1t Is understood
that Glenn Dale is not in position to supply
this drug without remuneration.

Protests Against Daylight Saving

To the Editor OF The Star:
In reference to the recent appeal OF the
Washington Board of Trade, reported In your
paper, calling for support of daylight summer
time, wish to register my protest
I have child of seven. Last summer with
daylight saving time, was unduly hard on all
mothers of children, particularly so on mothers
who are also employed in offices 1t was i'm
possible to get children to bed before dark
which by the sun and standard time was
o'clock, but by daylight saving time was dis
torted to . o'clock Contrary to arguments
presented by daylight savers" the children,
mine and all other children in the neighbor-
hood, did not sleep later in the morning, but
disturbed by the rising OF the parents, got up
with them, hence losing an hour of sleep. This
was especially hard on the children during the
months OF June and September when school
was in session. Many children attending day
camps, which begin generally at $3.50 in the
morning, were also affected. A doctor In
Philadelphia went on record through the press
last summer that daylight saving was causing
nervous disturbances in children and advocated
return to standard time.
Furthermore, due to my child being up and
requiring supervision in the evening, $50 often
found me just starting necessary work ut home,
ironing, etc. after day ut the ONCE. Under
standard time I could have started this work
at 8 O'Clock, and having finished 1t at $3.50,
could have had an hour for reading or other
quiet, necessary relaxation before going to bed.
T feel sure the minority in Washington put
over daylight saving last summer by mere
noise The ma jority of people I knew were
fatalistic about it, and apathetic in the feeling
that their wishes in the matter would not be
taken into account. I feel that the welfare of
our mothers and children should not be sac
rifced for the interests of business and few
golf players. MABEL VAN DYKE BAER.
