Today's Editorial:
Monkeys or Kids

Monkeys at the Woodland Park Zoo have done
very well for themselves in the last 81 years
In 1911, King County built them fairly
comfortable detention home, and in 1910 a mon
key island was added that they will receive more
sunshine and fresh air. Furthermore, in the
spring of 1913, King County voters passed bond
issue which included three-quarters of a million
dollars to construct modern, humane detention
home for the monkeys coyotes and other animals
in detention at the ZOO
Looking at what we have done in the way of
detention home for the unfortunate kids of King
County who have been neglected. abandoned, or
phaned, or who have stubbed their toes upon our
laws, and who need temporary detention care we
must admit that the monkeys at the zoo, so far,
have taken comfortable lead over the kids.
The old, deterioratng structure on Broad
way, which was constructed in 1915, condemned
for arteria highway, and to replace it the
ty commissioners have decided to remodel an old
apartment house built in 1908 This is only ano-
ther makeshift in the care of the kids.
County commissioners have proposed to
place on the ballot in the coming election bond
issue proposition to finance the construction of
completely adequate detention and Juvenile court
facilities.
If and when this proposition is placed upon
the ballot, it will be up to each voter in King Coun
ty to decide who will win the race for decent, hui
name detention-the monkeys or the kids.

Only The Beginning

SOME Of the people supporting
proposed federal aid" 70 .edu-
cation bills admit frankly that
these represent only beginning.
Once the principle has been
adopted, they say, increasing
amounts can be expected. Those
acquainted with the way federal
projects grow and grow and
grow, would naturally expect this
70 happen. Within q decade the
federal government would be car
rying the chief burden Of public
education.
Is this bad? Just to suggest
the idea 10 TO show the danger.
Decisions of policy for public
education would be made on the
national level. After such ma
tionalization Of the public schools.
It would be easy to obtain legis-
lation requiring all students to
attend public schools for ina

This IL exactly the type Of thing
we decry in Russia. These were
the methods that made millions
Of school children just like Hitler
and Mussolini wanted them.

two ways about it, federal aid
would mean undesirable federal

Now that the Nisei Vet ball
players have finished their season
and ditto for the teams in the
Northwest Times circuit, baseball
in the Nisei ranks is practically
wrapped up in mothballs and rea-
dy for the hot-stove league. Look
ing back on the Vet season, we
find that the 1947 champions Of
the Puget Sound Blue Section were
out Of the 1913 Blue Section race
by mid-season, eventually ending
up somewhere In the middle OF TIC
standings with about an even break

the Northwest tournament to a hot

Chief Asked 10 Name
Buggy Siege|'s Slayer
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20-Police
Chief c. H. Anderson of Beverly
Hills has been invited to tell the
county grand jury Criminal Com
plants Committee next Tuesday who
killed Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, the
gangster.
Chief Anderson said he has re-
ceived several threatening letters
and telephone calls since he an
nounced he knew the name of the
slayer.
Leo Hubbard, committee chairman,
said Chief Anderson should tell the
grand jury what he knows for his
own protection"
The chief = who contends the mes
sages are from "screwballs" and says
he is ignoring them, indicated he
was ready to tell the grand jury all
they want to know"
| Mr.. Hubbard told newsmen, We
want to know why no arrests have
been made"
Chief Anderson said earlier he had
made no arrests because he wanted
more corroborating evidence, adding
that the persons involved are SO
big we can't go out and give them
the buns rush"
Siegel was shot and killed June 20,
1947, as he sat in the Beverly Hills
mansion of a girl friend, Virginia
Hill. Seated beside Siegel was an
associate, Allen Smiley, who was
unhurt
Yesterday Smiley was acquitted
by Federal Court jury of perjury.
Smiley, a native of Russia, was
accused of making false statements
designed to deceive immigration

Denham Charges |TU
with 4-Year Battle 10
Beat Closed Shop Ban

The Government has broadened
charges against the AFL Interna-
tional Typographical, Union before
the National Labor Relations Board,
accusing the union of carrying on
a four-year fight to preserve closed
shop conditions in newspaper COM
posing rooms contrary to State and
Federal laws
NLRB General Counsel Robert N
Denham asked the board yesterday
to expand considerably the findings
Of a trial examiner that the ITU
has violated the Taft Hartley Act.
The action came in the case filed
against the union by the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
one of more than a dozen accusing
the ITU of unfair labor practices.
The NLRB, probably next month,
will hear oral argument in the ITU
case, which now is about year old.
sThree Objectives Listed.
In brief, aides of Mr.. Denham
said evidence produced in hearings
reflects IAN unchanging attitude and
determination on the part of the
ITU, commencing with the first
State anticlosed shop laws in 1914
to the present moment, that its
three objectives shall not be affected
in any way by any public law"
These three union objectives were
listed by the NLRB lawyers as:
/. Maintaining closed shop condi-
tions, by which ITU members are
given job preference over nonunion
members.
2. Determining by the union alone
what its jurisdiction should be in
newspaper plants.
3. Refusing to work with non
union men.
Contract Provisions Cited.

deciding their political course, say
ing that Republican administrations
always meant the same thing
either carpet baggers" or money
baggers.'
AS he has done so often in farm
speeches, Mr.. Truman pointed to the
prosperity farmers now enjoy, and
ascribed it to the program first laid
down in the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
This year your milk and eggs
alone are worth almost as much as
you total farm production was
worth in 1882" he asserted.
Then he turned to his charge that
COP "wreckers" are at work on the
Democratic farm policies, with par
ticular attention to the price support
issue.
Quotes Senator Capper.
Nov, despite the belated pro-
testations of the Republican candi-
date" the President said, they are
showing that they want to alter
and destroy the whole structure of
price supports for farm products.
Even the Republican chairman of
the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture (Senator Capper) has warned
that an effort is being made to
make the farmer the goat for
high prices in the United States.
Mr.. Truman said he does not
~worry too much" about intraparty
arguments:
Il think there will be plenty Of
Democrats on election day as long
as we retain respect for free speech
and get fair and honest count at
the polls"
Mrs. Roosevelt Backs Truman.
AS Mr.. Truman was returning
from North Carolina, the White
House made public letter from Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt in which she
said, Il am unqualifiedly for you as
the Democratic candidate for the
presidency"
1t was disclosed several days ago
that Mrs. Roosevelt was writing the
President from Paris where she is
a member of the American delega-
ton to the U. N. General Assembly.
Her letter also urged the election
of liberal" Democrats to Congress.
She said she wrote because of news
paper comment that she had not
come out for Mr.. Truman and pre-
ferred Gov. Dewey.
