So we held another meeting
with A. F. of L. contact man,
the President of the local union

The meeting for further consid-

was to wait till September Fl,
when 1 would have returned

When they left my office, al
though the President said that
she would have to present it
to the workers, I thought this

never was advised to the con-

that she should proceed with
the usual legal process, and
hold secret ballot and have a
secret strike vote. These in

on her return to Zion that she
had been told to do as she

The Company has, as is we'll
known, invested more than
$65O,OOO in Bakery buildings
and in improvements, machin-
cry and equipment. After over
6 months of experimenting
with our new oven, it was at
last operating about 80 percent
efficiently, and it was known
we had planned shortly to put
it into commercial production.
But never having operated an
oven of this type, we did not
know it capacities, costs, etc.
All we asked was for the work
ers to wait and let us see what
we could do. We even offer
ed to share with Bakery work
ers to the extent of giving them
rs per cent of all savings the
new oven would effect over
1947 cost of production; -
mind you, they were to get rs
percent, we rs percent)-and
this was refused!
So it would appear that be-
cause of selfish reasons and
wanting a spot in the lime
light, the real interests of Zion
Industries Bakery workers,
and all other Zion Industries
workers., as we'll as the mer-
chants of the City of Zion,
were by-passed.
Contrast these facts with the
100 percent false statement
made by the President of the
Union (probably in order to
get strike votes) that 1 intend
ed to reduce wages 10 per
cent! When I accused her of
this falsehood last Thursday,
she claimed, before witnesses,
that she never made such a
statement; but on Saturday in
the Waukegan NEWS-SUN
she was quoted as having re-
peated it; and also made an
other Observation-Disclosures

Freedom and the Czechs

Though pretty much behind the iron
curtain, Czechoslovakia has not yet sue
cumbed to the pressureS aimed at con-
verting it into Red police state. There
is still an opportunity there-a dWlndllng
opportunity - for courageous men to
speak out freely against efforts to censor
and suppress the truth. A few brave
voices have already been raised against
the Kremlin- dictated decision forbldd1ng
Czech participation in the European Re-
covery Program and this same honest and
fortnight element has now hit hard and
openly at deliberate attempt by the
Communists to cover up the fact that
they have been charged with seditious
activities involving plot to assassinate
certain key members of the government
The charge, disclosed few days ago at
q meeting of the Czech Parliament, has
been made by the non-Communist Min
lister of Justice. But colleague of his in
the Cabinet-the Minister of Information
lis a Communist who has control over
the radio. The result is that there has
been no broadcast of what the Justice
Minister has had to say about the seditlouS
conspiracy and the discovery of weapons
in the secretariat of the Communist Party
OF course, the accusation constitutes a
matter of the highest Importance to the
people of Czechoslovakia, but they would
never have heard word of it if the Red
Information Ministry had had its way or
II it had been able to censor the press as
well as the radio.
Fortunately, however, non-C Communist
newspapers and non-C Communist officials
have been able to function up to now
without police state control, and so the
story has been fairly we'll spread through
out Czechoslovakia But the incident has
ominous implications. 1t will not put an
end to the Red drive to place the country
completely behind the iron curtain. On
the contrary, the Kremlin serving Com
munists probably will intensity their
efforts to have their way. To that end,
they already hold strategic positions in
the Prague government, particularly In

Gas Must Be Saved, Too

Disillusionment has come to homeowners
who had thought that by converting their
furnaces from oil to gas they would be
immune from recurring threats of an oil
shortage. It now develops that owners of
gas-f1red heating plants must join with
oil users in emergency conservation meas
ures during the current cold spell in order
not to exhaust scarce fuel supplies.
The root of the trouble, as far as gas
goes, is that existing pipeline facilities are
inadequate to supply the extra natural
gas demanded by protracted cold weather
in this area. That has been demonstrated
during the present frigid wave. To make
matters worse for gas consumers, the
standby plant which was designed to make
up any deficiency of natural gas in an
emergency depends on fuel oil for gas
manufacture. And fuel oil is what Wash
ington is acutely short of right now Thus,
the gas users are finding that they are as
dependent on fuel oil as ever-in a crisis
like the present
This development, coupled with the re-
cent break in the main pipeline connecting
Washington with the Kentucky natural
gas fields, suggests the necessity for a new
study of Washington's gas needs, both as
to basic natural gas supply and emergency
standby facilities Additional pipelines
into the Washington area have been
planned. The sooner they become avail
able the less will be the need for reliance
on oil-dependent standby facilities.
Meanwhile it is incumbent on all users
of gas in this vicinity to join with fuel oil
users in the heat conservation program
sponsored by the District Fuel Oil Co.
ordinating Committee. Only by conscien-
tious, wholehearted cooperation by every
one concerned can the city and its environs
hope to struggle through the present period
of inconvenience and, in some instances,
of real hardships.

Tomorrow's Traffic Headache

Federal Works Administrator Philip B.
Fleming did not exaggerate when he
characterized as appalling" the prospect
of fifty million motor vehicles scooting
over deteriorating highways within few
years. That number of passenger cars,
buses and trucks operating over highways
that are not deteriorating is bad enough
prospect. Yet that many vehicles are in
store for America in the near future,
according to representatives of the motor
industry. Today there are thirty-seven
million motor vehicles registered-a sufh-
cient quantity to give the country a con-
slant and growing traffic headache.
Congestion being what it is under pres
ent trafnc loads, 1t is obvious that the situ-
alton will become even more aggravated

Protecting the Federal Interest

Wide discussion of the Auchincloss home
rule bill is desirable It is only through such
discussion that its details become under
stood. The critical report of the Commit
tee of One Hundred on the Federal City
is helpful contribution in this respect.
Here is an organization that did much
to bring about revival OF interest by
Congress in development of Washington as
the Capital It was active during the
twenties in behalf of legislation creating
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. It's parent organization, the
American Planning and Civic Association,
worked here and throughout the country
for enactment of the Capper- -Cramton
park purchase legislation, which set aside
permanently wide areas of the District
for park development.
The Committee of One Hundred has
always emphasized the Nations RESPONSE
bility, through Congress, to Washington
as the Federal City. It is concerned now
lest the Auchincloss home rule bill dimin-
ish that responsibility to point where 1t
might be ignored. 1t does not like the
idea of city manager responsible to an
elected council. It prefers that this ad-
ministrator be appointed by the President,
as representative of the predominant Fed
eral interest. The same thought is ex-
pressed in it's recommendation that the
council include appointed representatives
of the Federal Government, along with
locally elected members Such recon-
mendations emphasize the nature Of the
dilemma that, soon or late, faces most
attempts to devise workable home-rule
scheme.
On the one hand, we have the obvious
fact that unless Congress does delegate
substantial degree of authority to locally
elected government, the resulting home
rule is unworthy of the name or of the
effort.
On the other hand, delegation by Con-
gress of all the authority possible under
unique constitutional limitations applying
to the District would tend to relieve Con-
gress not merely of the housekeeping"
duties which at times prove burdenSome,
but also of the great responsibility which
accompanies the Federal Governments
interests in its Seat of Government.
AS to the first, the Auchincloss bill has
gone much further than most local-suffrage
plans of the past. It has placed sweeping
legislative powers in the hands of an
elected city council and an extraordinary
amount of administrative authority in the
hands of the city manager.
Relieved of so much detail in municipal
government, would Congress seek also to
pass financial and kindred responsibility on
to the local community? That is danger
supported by historical precedent-to be
avoided. The Auchincloss bill has sought
to avoid 1t by committing Congress to an
annual payment, measured in terms of a.
real estate tax at lower rate than private
property owners pay. One question asked
by the Committee of One Hundred, and
which may find an answer at the hearings
next week, is why the National Govern
ment, owning Al per cent of the city's area,
should not pay at a rate applying to all
other real estate.

Not Gods Image


To the Editor II The Star:
The Star of January 23 carried an article
relative to the Solo River so-called ape-nlan
and stated: "The Solo man was probably
q direct descendant and representing the
second stage Of human evolution"
Under this theory Of mans evolution, how
much more grotesque must he have been in
his first and original stage as ape or ape-man!
It is indeed shocking in the extreme when we
think Of such conception in the light Of the
Bible record Genesis, 1:2D which says: God
created man in His own image, in the image
of God created He him."
Can it be possible that any one would assume
to picture the Creator land the constant Care
taker) of the universe as on level only with
that of beast?
often have wondered if, in the study OF
the so-called ape-man, it might not be more
logical to view in the reverse; that Is from
the standpoint of man-ape, possibly and prob
ably product of renegade humanity.

Future White House Protection

Each day measures progress on the OIL
cially condoned vandalism of the south
portico at the White House and nothing
may stop it now, although the future will
offer ample leisure for repentance. Some
of the details which explain the extent
of the architectural illiteracy displayed by
the balcony builders are set forth in a
letter and picture printed In adjoining
columns of this page today. A distin-
guished craftsman has expressed in plain
words the nature of the mistake that is
being made and why it represents so need
less DETACHMENT.
While it is too late to continue protest,
which has increased with general under
standing of what is being done, such
protest is not necessarily futile. For it
points to the need of some statutory
guarantee against future meddling of the
sort. Reclfrrent suggestions are being
made that the White House be declared
National Monument, thus taking out of
the hands Of its transient tenants the
execution Of whimsical ideas of exterior
change; or to protect it in future by a law
which would prevent any changes not
specifically authorized in appropriations,
such as the law of 1870 which applies to
the exterior of the Treasury Building. The
Appropriations Committees may find 1t
worth while this year to examine the ma
ture of the duties of the so-called White
House architect and the use for new
construction, of White House maintenance
funds.
Out Of the incident there may come
some action by Congress to prevent a
repetition of the sort of mistake now in
progress. The need for such protection
should be evident to everybody.

more highway space to meet the travel
demands. Street and highway repairs
Jagged during the war years, because OF
material and manpower shortages. So did
highway construction, except in critical
defense areas, where new roads to meet
emergency military needs were built,
largely with Federal funds. It is estimated
that from sixty to eighty thousand miles
of roads maintained by the States are In
urgent need of reconstruction. About q
fourth of this mileage Is Of two-lane de-
sign, whereas surveys have shown that the
traffic load calls for four-lane construction.
This state of affairs calls for drastic
measures by the cities, States and Federal
Government in the field of street and high
way improvement and expansion. 1t is
primarily State and municipal problem,
but the Federal Government has natural
interest in the matter, too. An adequate
highway system is an essential part of
our national defense program and of our
national economy. 1t is for these reasons
that Congress has authorized Federal aid
for highways, including the postwar Fed
eral Aid Highway Act, under which three
billion dollars was made available to the
States on matching basis. This authori-
zation will expire in 1885, Much of the
money has not been used because of con-
struction difficulties. General Fleming
wants this act extended, so that the States
may take full advantage of the opportunity
offered to build and repair roads in pace
with the rising traffic requirements. With
out this additional aid, the traffic c-conges-
ton outlook in the years Immediately
ahead may even be worse than General
Fleming envisions
