Too Much Unity?

To the Editor of The Star:
j. A. in letter published August 20 Is not
alone In thinking that there are issues more
important than church unity. For example,
some people feel that concord among members
of an individual communion should take
precedence over ecumenical unity. There is
no more reason for all churches adhering to
the same ritual Though it seems unfortunate
that bodies of q given church do not follow
the same liturgy than there is for all authors
to use the same phraseology. Generally speak
ing. persons who stress world unity are among
the last in promoting domestic peace

No Discrimination at All

To the EDITOR of The Star:
When our super patriots and 1900 Americans
spout about no discrimination" as between
various segments of our population they would
be more convincing if the groups mentioned
were not so conspicuously restricted
If we are going to really eliminate prejudice,
If we are not to be unreasonaby discrimina-
tory, our list should include each and all Of
the following: mo discrimination because of
race, age creed color, nationality, economic
theology or previous condition of servitude,"
This list will be objected to by many, which
can mean only that great many individuals
have no real American sense of fair play.

Women Themselves to Blame

To the Editor of The Star
The letter in your issue of August rs by c.
A. L. In Defense of Women" surely is at
variance with the facts. All a woman needs
to become President or get elected to any
other Office is to get votes. Men have to do
this. On the whole, women do not vote for
members Of their own sex. For many years
they have had the same voting privileges as
the males. There are as many women who
may cast votes rs men, even more.
In public affairs women even fail to do what
should be done and. have shown very little
initiative in trying to improve conditions.
Women have the time. and II they used their
united influence, could abolish the unsightly
billboards which disngure so much Of our
countryside. This would require leadership

Justified Complaint

The interim report of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities COM
plains that it has been denied access by
the President to all files and records per-
tanning to security in the executive de-
partments and contends that this is IAN
unwholesome, an unwiSe, and an unsafe
situation" There is ample reason to be-
lieve that this is a justified complaint.
It is one thing for the President to with
hold records which would reveal sources OF
confidential information. The necessity
for protecting these sources is Self-evident,
and the President has been right in refus-
ing to give them up. But it is quite another
matter for him to balk at giving Congress
access to such things as employment rec
ords. which would disclose the names OF
persons responsible for giving Federal jobs
to Communists and their sympathizers.
Mr.. Truman's answer to this aspect of
the complaint is that the Executive branch
can take care of it's own security and that
there has been no penetration by subver-
sive elements. The record, however, does
not support him in this contention.
Beyond any reasonable doubt Com
munists were successful in worming their
way into important Government positions,
and they were assisted in this, Willingly
or otherwise, by highly placed officials
under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman.
The House committees report reveals that
Whitaker Chambers, former Communist
and it's star witness, told his story-the
story involving his relations with Al2er
Hiss-to high official of the Govern
ment" as far back as 1899. Hiss later was
interrogated by various officials, Including
James F. Byrnes. But the story of his rela-
tions with Chambers either was not dis
covered or was treated as of no Importance.
In any event it did not become a matter
of public knowledge until after the House
committee had brought out the facts.
Much the same thing is true of other
individuals who were prominent in the
Government at one time or another. Hiss
has denied that he ever was Communist,
but most of the others have refused to
answer any questions on this point, taking
refuge in the contention that to answer
might incriminate them. 1t cannot be said
that this proves nothing, for at the least
it proves that these individuals had no
business working for the Government, and
that the executive establishment was in
excusably lax in letting them attach them
selves to the payroll and stay there for
long period of time.
The logical conclusion from this is that
the President is wrong in refusing to CO.
operate with the congressional investiga-
tors. One can understand his political
embarrassment, but that is no excuse for
commanding mistake All of the facts
relevant to the infiltration of the Govern
ment by the Communists, except those
which would disclose confidential sources
of information, ought to be brought out,
and the President is without the slightest
justification in trying to bottle them up.

Teachers Salary Increase

To the Editor of The Star:
D. c. School Teacher evidently doesn't teach
math Her figure of 40 cents an hour raise
would be not bad. Our raise Of $3.50 per annum
equals about 40 cents day, not hour. How
ever, it isn't only the teachers who'd reached
the old former) maximum, as she and I had,
who only got $3.50 raise in spite of the new
salary schedule" That also was the case for
most other teachers except new teachers) as
