Cutting Down on Jobs

To the Editor Of The Star:
In his opening address to the Republican
National Convention at Philadelphia, Gov.
Green again brought out the old shibboleth Of
the die-hards, economic by firing Federal
employees" At this moment. there are about
100000 Federal civil employees with q salary
of 1880 each as of July /, 1948.
Approximately $4,000 Of these are employed
by the armed services and, as there is every
indication that more will be needed with an
augmented military establishment, there can
be no cutting there. Another 100000 are in
the Post Office Department, and reduction
there to any great extent would interfere with
the delivery of the mails This leaves $4,000
civil employees in the Federal Government on
whom the economizers can operate, with q
total payroll of $1,000, 100000.
Does any one expect the Republicans to do
this? Let's be realistic. I haven't doubt
that many persons now in the Federal service
will lose their jobs if the Republicans come
into power. But the jobs will not be abolished.
REALIST.

ought to bear In mind that the male OF
the species. by and large. has an allergy,
too. 1t is an allergy that gives him fits
whenever he sees young girls or matrons
showing off with fingernails and toenails
dyed gold, dark green, purple, black or
some other outlandish color. Perhaps it
is these creatures who suffer the travail
referred to by the Chicago doctors. If so,
it serves them right.
Sensitive men are entitled to feel this
way. A painted nail can be all right, and
perhaps even enhancing, if the color is
reasonably conservative. But If the rain
bow is outraged, If the male eye is as
saulted with something like a pea-soup
green, then that is carrying conceit too
far, and the female guilty of it merits
the punishment of finding mess on her
hands, whether she is allergic to polish
or not. In this, as in other matters, there
is room for poetic justice.

Israel and the Extremists

The Israeli government mas acteQ WIFI
commendable and reassuring firmness in
preventing Irgun Zvai Leumi from landing
a shipload of arms in the vicinity OF Tel
Aviv Leaders of Irgun, an underground
organization of Jewish terrorists which
has broken with the government and
caused a grave internal crisis leading to
the resignation of two cabinet members
have threatened to retaliate in a way that
conceivably could lead to civil war in the
new state but at the moment they seem to
be checked.
In effect, if the Israeli government had
permitted the landing, 1t would have been
guilty of violating its truce with the Arabs.
AS evidence of its good faith, however, 1T
did not hesitate to send its troops against
the Irgun force in a shooting engagement
that has left several individuals dead on
both sides Nor did it hesitate to proclaim
an emergency decree making civil diSobedl-
ence and actions like Irguns reasonable
offense to be met with stern punishment
Whatever else may happen now, whether
civil war develops or not, the Israeli gov
ernment cannot be accused of failing to
live up to its obligations under the truce.
United Nations observers have witnessed
how promptly it went into action against
the extremists. 1t sent its troops out with
orders to prevent the landing and meet
fire with fire, and the orders have been
faithfully executed, even at the risk OF
setting off potentially grave civil war,
Every friend of the new Jewish state
must hope that such war will be avoided
or that it can be brought to a speedy
finish by the Israeli government, with the
1rgunists, the Stern gang and other Jewish
terrorists decisively and permanently
shattered The fact that these terroriSts
may have the power to stage coup is
one of the reasons why the United States
has extended only provisional recognition
to the Israeli regime. If that regime is
overthrown, then our attitude toward the
whole idea of partitioned Palestine is
likely to undergo fundamental change.
In acting against Irgun therefore, the
Israeli government is seeking to demon
strate not merely its fidelity to the truce
but also its ability to maintain its author
ity and firmly establish the new Jewish
state. 1t is more than probable that the
United States and other free countries
would refuse to recognize that state if the
extremists-suspected of pro-Soviet aims
should succeed in taking it over. Their
ascendancy in Palestine could mean the
end of all Zionist aspirations.

A Community Challenge

In the new United Community Services
launched this week, fortnight effort
has been made to meet the criticism leveled
last year at the Washington Community
Chest and the Council of Social Agencies.
Through the introduction of heavy rep
resentation from city-wide community Or
ganizations and from the public at large,
the founders of the new UCS have made
every effort to insure that the planning to
meet the health welfare and recreatlonal
needs of the city will be widely understood,
accepted and hence financially supported
Within the new organization are both
supporters and opponents OF the two groups
whose functions it absorbs Its public-at-
large members have been taken from every
section of the city, from both races and all
major creeds, from the major professions
from business, from labor, from Federal
and from District governments.
In an effort to bring in persons who
have not been identified previously with
either the Chest or the Council, a limita-
ton has been placed on the number OF
board members of operating agencies rep
resented in UCS who can become members
of UCS through the public-at-large
category.
Thus UCS represents reorganization to
place the general welfare program in the
hands of the lay leaders of the community
who, through taxes and contributions, also
pay for it. It's success or failure is in their
hands. Surely they will accept the
challenge.

DPS Deserving Sympathy

To the Editor Of The Star:
In reply to the letter of r. E. Boatwright
which appeared in The Star of June 23 wish
to state that it Is strange that a person who
processes to have humanitarian feelings should
call the DPS (or even some of them "the scum
of Europe If he had any feelings. his SYM
pathy would go out to these unfortunates.
However, any person who is looking for an
american face" among the people who recently
came from New York to Washington to stage
protest should give his definition of an
American face"
How can the DPS be rehabilitated at home
when they have no homes?

On Pointed Nails

A couple of Chicago doctors have found
that some women are allergic to a certain
type of nail polish. In their desire to
look as beautiful or as spectacular as
possible. they put the stuff on-on fingers
and toes-and then they pay price for
their pretty vanity. Their nails begin to
act funny, get brittle, curl up, and in gen.
eral develop into an awful mess, with
months required to make them look normal
again.
The Chicago doctors make a point of
saying that most women are not thus
affected. relatively few, however, are
cursed with the allergy, and unless they
are careful unless they steer clear of the
polish in question, they will run into
trouble of a sort that will drive them to
tears. When one is allergic to the thing,
In short, one had better avoid it; if one

Seeing DR.. Jones at his home or Office
at Haverford, visitor thought of him as
being pre-eminently scholar, surrounded
by the garnered wisdom of the ages and
representing that wisdom as an interpreter
and appraiser. But the newspapers on his

phone, the piles of correspondence brought
to him for reply all proved how much an
active, dynamic force he was, spending his

The Guard Is No 'Huven'

The National Guard naturally is pleased
over the sudden squirt in enliStments since
Congress approved a modified peacetime
draft program. It would be too bad how
ever if the idea should grow up that the
Guard is a haven for draft "evaders."
If any one has enlisted with the thought
that he may escape his responsibilities in
time of national emergency, he is laboring
under a deluSion.
Major General Kenneth Kramer, chief
of the National Guard Bureau, has done
we'll to make it plain that the National
Guard is no haven" for duty shirkers. Nor
are the various organized reserves of the
three armed services. For the probability
is that in another war the brunt of the
fighting at the very outset Of an attack
on this country would be borne by the
Guard and other trained reserve units.
In previous wars our shores have been
spared from bombs and shells and invading
armies. In an atomic war, however, the
attack undoubtedly would be carried to
our cities and factories by guided missiles
launched by land or by submarines, or
delivered to their targets by other means.
There is not likely to be a warning that
would give us time to build up defenses,
as we have been able to do in the past.
Some military organization must be ready
to act in any part of the Nation as soon
as the bombs start to fall. To main
tain a standing Regular Army ade-
quate to meet such an emergency is out
of the question. That is why the Guard
and the Reserves have become more i'm
portant in the defense scheme than ever
before. They have been assigned key roles
in the continental defense plan worked out
by our military experts. Theirs will be
the job of repelling invaders by shore or
sky, of aiding in rescue work, of helping
to restore order in devastated areas. They
must hold the fort" until Regular and
other reinforcements can be brought to
bear against the attackers
The man who joins the Guard is not
being given safe and easy berth. He is
becoming part of a new defense outfit
of heavy responsibilities. 1t is reassuring
to know that this organization is being
supplied with adequate manpower to per-
form its vital tasks in some grim crisis
of tomorrow

DR.. Rufus Matthew Jones

When the history of our time is written
from the vantage point of half millen-
mum hence, it may be found that the first
half of the twentieth century was richer
in terms of human personality than we
ourselves have believed. The case of DR..
Rufus Matthew Jones will serve to con-
firm this suggestion. He was man who
certainly thought of himself as being a
fairly average sort of citizen. 1t never
occurred to him to claim that he was
superior to anybody. On the contrary, he
deliberately sought to be a servant to
servants.
The books DR.. Jones wrote were mys-
teal in character appealing to those
OF his contemporaries who hold that the
solution of most human problems will come
olly with the development of greater
knowledge and greater appreciation of the
power of the human spirit. His teaching
had notable resemblance to the elemental
doctrines of Gautama Buddha and Lao-tse
and Saint Francis of Assist He rejected
violence as principle and thus was a
pacifist in the philosophic sense of the
word
But he also was militant crusader for
the increase of righteousness and mercy
among men. Dr. Jones labors as chairman
of the American Friends Service Commit
tee from 1917 to 1928 are an epic Of prac-
tical modern philanthropy. He co-operated
with Herbert Hoover in feeding hundreds
of thousands of German children and
starv' ng Russians of all ages after the
First World War. Long before the out
break of its sequel he realized the danger
of such a disaster and campaigned to pre-
vent it, urging the mass evacuation of
Jews from the Reich as one feasible correc-
tive device As recently as last March, he
still was toiling not merely for peace but
for a tolerable equity of all nations and
classes q fundamental fellowship Of Ill

Civil Rights Issue National

To the Editor OF The Star:
Platform speeches at any convention always
are dull and neavy. The kind delivered at the
States Rights Convention of Democrats in
Jackson, Miss, was no exception. The Gov
ernors of Arkansas, South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi set the pace. Each tried to out-do
the other in denouncng Truman's Civil Rights
bill.
Although these rights clearly are expressed
in the Constitution, the people who want them
observed are called 'communistic" Because
members OF the Supreme Court want them
enforced they are smeared as being political
minded"
1t is hard to believe that such talk, based
on race prejudice, expresses the view Of
sober minded Southerners. If the South
takes time to- count TO- it will see that bolting
President Truman on civil rights for Negroes
will prove to be a tough and tiresome task
On that issue the South is battling not only
Mr. Truman but also the rest OF the United
States. EDMUND r. BAILER.

Senator Taylor's Filibuster

To the Editor of The Star:
The Eightieth Congress has by its record
added little to Republican prestige, but the
method in which the Republican leadership
broke the flibuster of Senators Taylor and
LANCER showed it in its sorriest light.
Senator Taylor was deprived of the floor
without justification. The presiding officer
Senator Ives, invoked Rule XIX Para. 2, as
his pretext. This paragraph, like all other
parts Of Rule XIX, was, in fact, inapplicable
Senator Taylor before reading the telegram
to which objection was raised explicitly dis
sociated himself from indorsng 1t. These
were Senator Taylor's exact words: "Mr Presi-
dent, some kilograms were just laid on my
desk have not read them. I do not
know whether they say Stay with it. or Sit
down and shut up shall read them, and we
shall find out what the people think about
this" (Cong. Rec. 94:l13, p. e16D. The
telegram itself only by strained Interpretation
fell under the ban of Rule XIX: 1t clearly
could not fall under this rule in view of the
way in which Senator Tayor introduced it
into the proceedings. Nevertheless, the Sena-
tor was deprived of the floor and even pre-
vented from raising a point of order on the
illegal way in which the appointment of the
Conference Committee was forced through.
Inc conference cOWmlCCee presented lCS
report to the Senate without the formalty
of celebrating with House conferees after
the official appointment On the question
Of accepting this conference report the pre-
siding officer violated the rules by refusing
to recognize Senators Pepper and Taylor. who
were on their feet well in advance of the
taking and announcing of the vote. This,
however, proved a bit raw; and Senators
Morse. Donnell and Barkley raised strenuous
objection to such arbitrary action and the
precedent it might establish. Even Mr. Taft
felt constrained to add feeble recommended
ton that Senator Pepper be recognized. Finally,
after extensive discussion Gong. Rec. s4:113,
PIP. 9169-9170), Senator Ives acknowledged
himself in the wrong reversed his decision,
and. despite Senator Baldwin's pleas for still
another ruling inconsistent with the rules,
recognized Senator Taylor and apologized to
him-not for the original breach of the rules,
but for the last one committed
