MESSAGES to Labor

Both President Truman and Governor
Dewey have sent Labor Day messages to
the American Federation of Labor, but
neither one comes to grips with the prob
lens which are of most concern to the
American people today
The Truman message is an unabashed
bid for the labor vote. He recounts the
great gains of unions under Democratic
regimes, but never suggests that labor in
some instances has abused its power at
the expense of the public interest. He
proposes to scrap the restraints laid on
labor by the Taft Hartley Act, and offers
nothing as substitute except to quote the
meaningless weasel words in the Demo-
cratic platform. In effect, Mr.. Truman
says to labor: Vote for me and you can
have whatever you want. In his eyes
labor can do no wrong, with the exception,
perhaps, of voting the Republican ticket.
There Is not great deal more in Cover
nor Dewey's message, but he does imply at
least that organized labor must conduct
its activities with due regard for the pub
lie interest. AS Governor of New York,
he said, he has held to the view that any
advance worth fighting for has to meet
the test of the public interest, and he
said that IAN advantage for management
over labor or for labor over the public
does not meet that test
This leaves room for the inference that
Governor Dewey sees nothing objection
able in an advantage for labor over man
agement. Presumably, he will enlarge
upon this when, during the campaign, he
takes up the question of organized la
bor's place in our society,"" and this am
plifcaton of his views will be awaited
with interest.

body, except when it is illumined by the
sun and the Earth. The full moon is the
moon completely lighted; the new" moon
is the moon partly lighted by the sun from
the west and to lesser degree by the
Earth; the last quarter" is the moon
partly lighted by the sun from the east
and again to lesser degree by the Earth.
But DR.. Coon submits that all this is
somewhat modern routine. Somewhere
back of the moment when human history
first was recorded there may have been
a different, a much more lively procedure.
The folk memory of that atomic age" on
the moon may survive even now in SYM
bolic art and literature. An aura of mys-
terry surrounds the whole subject. The So
called phases" of the moon still are

Not So Solid

It is symptomatic of one of the basic
weaknesses of the Soviet Empire that the
Tito disease" has spread to Poland. Being
unable, apparently, to cover up the con-
dition. the Communist dictatorship at War
saw has openly acknowledged the existence
Of "rightist and nationalist deviations"
within itself. Translated into simple, nom
Marxist language, that means that the
party has experienced a split, with one
wing-headed by Vice Premier Gomulka-
offering resistance to policies calculated to
make the country completely subservient
to Moscow.
In all probability, according to current
reports, the situation in Poland Is being
settled to the Kremlin's satisfaction. That
is to say, the wing favorlng strict
obedience to the Soviet Unions orders
AS expressed through the Communist In
forma ton Bureau-appears to have more
strength than the disSidents. At any rate,
1T has already announced Gomulka's dis
missal as head Of the party, and 1t is
reported to have begun purging others for
failing to confess their hereSy and prom
ise never again to oppose the line< laid
down by Moscow. Thus, as far as the
Poles are concerned there seems to be
little reason to expect any near-future de-
fection comparable to Premier-Marshal
Titos spectacular defiance of the COMM
form and his continuing insistence on
some degree of independence for Yugo-
slavia.
Nevertheless. no matter how Shortlved.
the Polish Communist split is significant
measure of the Kremlins difficulties in
trying to hold it's puppets in line behind
the Iron Curtain. Although they are fully
equipped to put down dissent with terror,
the puppets cannot entirely ignore public
opinion. The satellite peoples-the Poles,
the Yugoslavs. the Czechs, the Hungarians
and all the rest-are intensely national
istic. In addition, some of them-notably
the Poles, who are overwhelmingly Cath
olic-are deeply religious and individual
istic They do not want to be collecti-
vized, they do not want to have false gods
held before them, and they do not want
to be dominated by Russia. If they could
vote freely and without fear, they would
vote to oust the Moscow dominated re-
yimes now controlling them. In the cir
cumstances. despite police-state tech
niques, their feelings must be reckoned
with, and it is thus not surprising when a
Tito or a Gomuka-in Difference to those
ceilings and perhaps fearing them-stands
p and tries to win at least little bit of
independence from the Soviets.
1t would be wishful, of course, to read
100 much meaning into all this. BY the
same token, however, it would be mis-
take to dismiss it as thing of no i'm
portance The Soviet Empire displays signs
of being a good deal less solid or mono
lithic than the one pictured in Red propa-
eanda. 1t has been set up on foundations
Of deceit, treachery and terror, and 1t Is

This and That
Bu Charles T. Trace1Deu

When the Templeton Jones came back from
vacation, they found their home full of f1eas.
Since their pet Persian had been boarded
during the interval, they wondered how there
could be SO many of the unwanted hoppers.
There were neas in the living room.
There were fieas in the dining room.
Fleas skated over the glossy kitchen linoleum
Templeton Jones later swore that feas were
climbing the Mt Everest of the refrigerator,
but that probably was just imagination.
1t was Mrs Jones who first saw the invaders
but it was Mr.. Jones who put up the loudest
protest
They bite me-" he said, plaintively, slapping
at his white sox
And. sure enough. there was a big black
one trying to hide in the sloppy cuff where
it fell over his shoe.
1t is amazing how black f1eas look, against
white, their favorite color (Some people
color to jones'
"Fleas,' said he. do not bite some people,
so they laugh at these they do bite.
If 1t were them, or they continued Temple
ton Jones, getting himself slightly mixed up,
they wouldn't think it so howlingly funny
There are some people feas bite, and the
rest laugh, but that doesn't make the bites
any easier to bear
While this lecture was going on, Mrs Jones
was getting the windows and doors open, to
let in fresh air.
She also was planning her campaign against
the feas
In. the old days, she would have called the
Department of Agriculture, and talked to some
old fossil who would have advised her to get
toxic materials and spray the room.
He might have warned her that the house
would have to be closed and deserted for at
least three days.
nd
have said, the feas might not all be killed
and she would have to do it all over again.
Now Mrs Jones knew better.
She had better way of her own invention
1t was simply to use the vacuum cleaner
Every rug, every floor board, ever piece of
overstuffed furniture must receive careful
going over.
In this way, by persistence, all live fleas
are gotten, along with the eggs The eggs
seem to be the main thing: Nature is Won
derful and a nea egg can lie dormant for as
long as two years
So it is necessary, Mrs. Jones says, to have
new vacuum cleaner, one with super pres
sure, that will really get down into the rug
f1bers and bring EN- up.
The crevices between the boards of the floor
are favorite places for flea eggs to hide.
Day by day cleaning will be necessary for a
time, Mrs. Jones warns. Somebody is always
warning about something nowadays.
The flea egg she says, is perfect pearl.
Mr.. Jones says 1t is perfect something, but
1t isn't pearl.
He says that f1eas have no real use in the
world, and ought to be abolished
Mrs Jones doesn't say anything
She just keeps on using the vacuum sweeper,
and making mental notes to use it for several
days, next year, before going on vacation.
Both before and after treatments, she says, are
necessary. If you want to keep both a cat and
q house free from heas.
Sudden bursts of very hot weather. while
one is away will result in undesirable tenants,
unless proper precautions have been taken In
advance
The electric vacuum cleaner does it.

Study of the Moon

The possibility that the moon once was
the dominant feature of the heavens as
seen from the Earth is being discussed by
laymen as we'll as by professional astron-
omers. A new historical approach to the
problem has been developed in Europe and
in America coincidentally 1t has been
recalled that the Jews, the Egyptians and
other ancient eastern peoples based their
calendars on the moon, and the question
now being debated is Why did they do
that?
OF course, it was convenient. An alter
native procedure, however, might have
stressed the Importance of the sun for
calendar purposes This was not the
choice of the pioneer observers and they
must have had good reason for their
judgment. Perhaps there may have been
a period in human experience when the
moon was the most impressive body in the
sky During that hypothetical era, "the
lesser light" of the Scriptures conceivably
was more active than "the greater" The
moon, in other words, may still have been
shining because of its own incandescence
1t actually may have been burning. Sup
port for the notion thus set forth is dis
covered in the craters within craters which
cover the surface of the moon, testifying
to comparatively recent volcanic disturb
ances.
DR.. Carleton Stevens Coon of Harvard
University connects these natural cata-
clysms" with the unchallenged fact that
certain nations of antiquity were moon
worshippers. The Earth's sole satellite
was deified, he suggests, because of its
dynamic character. At the time referred
to the moon did not change its phases. 1t
was, in effect, full diSk-like the sun
and was so represented by the artist
priests of Egypt in an age when "the ter
ribleness of the stars" was potent factor
in the lives of men. Later, no one knows
how much later exactly, the phenomenon
of "the old moon In the new moons arms"
gradually appeared. This problem, first
solved by Leonardo da Vinci, developed
when the moon ceased to be lit by its own
light-that is, when it became . dead
planet.
We in our time see the moon az dark

Neqroes in the Army

As civilian aide to the Secretary of the
Army, James c. Evans has drawn up a
kind of interim report that should do
much to correct many false Impressions
some OF them maliciously invented-re-
garding the status of the Negro in
military service.
Prepared for Secretary Royal, the report
broadly summarizes the official policies
and practices that have been followed
within recent years to promote equality
of treatment and opportunity for Negroes
in the Army. The summary leaves little
room for doubt that conscientious Job
is being done to that end and that more
and more improvement can be anticipated
As far as opportunity is concerned Mr.
Evans cites a long list of Illuminating
facts. He observes, for example, that much
of the following policy has already been
put into effect: % That ne-tenth of the
Army's strength should be Negro; (2l that
Negro units should be trained in wider
variety of combat and non-combat arms;
90 that Negro and white units should be
grouped in composite organizations; (D
that qualified Negro officers should replace
white officers in Negro units; (5) that the
ROTC should be expanded for Negroes
and t6) that there should not only be
general parity of in-service training op-
portunities but also effective utilization of
trained Negro personnel.
AS for equal treatment, Mr.. Evans points
out that Negroes are on duty in all Army
commands at home and abroad, that rec
reational facilities are available to them
on non-segregated basis and that efforts
to violate or evade this recreational policy
meet with prompt corrective action when
brought to official attention." In fact,
according to Mr.. Evans, who is himself
Negro, the Army may we'll claim that it
has given more attention, in quantity,
quality and duration, to the subject of
effective coordination of human effort as
regards race than any other arm of the
Government"
In short, although Mr. Evans does not
depict the situation as being anywhere
near perfect, his findings constitute i'm
preSsive evidence of the fact that a gen.
uine and earnest effort is being made to
deal fairly and squarely with Negroes in
service. What he has to say on the sub
ject should be required reading for any
one who thinks otherwise.

Junior Police and Ragamuffins

Junior Police and Rasamufins
To the Editor of The Star
What is taught these kids by Pvt. Cowan and
his Junior Police c. c.?
1 am sure he could do q lot of good If he
only stopped kids from damaging cars in the
neighborhood of Grifith Stadium. For years it
has been q well-known fact that you either
pay those ragamufnns or your car is dented,
scratched, etc.
Just last week my husband parked to see
night game and was asked by four boys with
big sticks in their hands If he wanted his car
protected" My husband said no and the
kids told him, well, we will beat on your car
with these sticks" My husband said, "I don't
think you will. as this is the neighborhood of
the Junior Police and am sure that they won't
permit you to do that "Oh, yes, we belong to
the Junior Police" one of the boys replied.
AS my husband walked toward the ball park
those boys did beat on the car with sticks.
Now, of course, it Is possible that the boy
lied about his membership In the organization,
but there is fine place for that group to start
and show that Pvt. Cowan and his boys are
really doing q good work in training kids to be
good citizens. Teaching 4 kid that the prop
erty of others should be respected viii take
him farther In life than play acting. On nights

India Needs Cheer, Not Ridicule


To the Editor of The Star:
I have been reading in your journal series
Of articles written by Henry McLemore from
India about her poverty, filth and squalor;
about the flies and water buffaloes, the cows and
monkeys, which dogged his footsteps or the
wheels OF his automobile on his travels, and
about the dored tigers and their brave Moghul
hunters" All this may be true but is it all that
America needs to know about India?
Imagine foreign journalist coming to WASH
ington and writing home only about the un-
savory things in this Capital City: He would
not have to chase the criminals shadows to
be able to file each day a 1,000-word copy
packed ~itn lurid and melodramatic accounts
of murders. rapes and burglaries. He would
find enough material in any newspaper. On
a dull day, II he walked down F. street, near
the Treasury Euilding, he would stumble upon
at least couple Of beggars exciting the pity of
tie passers-hy by exposing their loss of hand
or foot. Or If he stopped in a cheap night club
after IL pm, he would see haggard- looking
men and women who came there to forget
their troubles in foamy glasses of beer or by
vouptuous shaking of their hips or whistling at
a strip teaser as she undresSed herself before
the eyes of eager looking teen-agers.
AL this may be a good story for the anti
American press or for those countries which
seek to present the United States to their peo-
pie as decadent. But to my mind any discrip-
tion of America will be incomplete without a
mention of the creative genius of the people,
the song of freedom which is in Americas air.
Mr.. McLemore has freedom TO write about
anything he finds interesting. However an
obliGue attempt made by him to pour ridcuie
over the Indian people for tolerating poverty,
filth squalor and obsequiousness in their midst
is unworthy of American journalism of which
1 ami student myself. What is the free gov
ernment Of India, installed only year ago,
doing to clean up the dirt accumulated by 200
years OF foreign rule? Does the columnist
know about this and has he told this to his

India today is like soldier having open
wounds, some of which are filled with maggots
through the negligence of his previous doctor,
and now making supreme effort toward re-
covery. How many months or years it will
take before she regans her normal health one
Goes not krow, but until she RECEIVERS fully, she
would not, least of all like to have her wounds
raked and exposed to world ridicule. Irritated,
she may hit oack. A large number of Indian
students and visitors as well as Indian journal
lists are present in the United States. Do not
force them to answer Mr.. McLerpore in his kind

al this time. JAGDISH c. ARORA,
