@. Why is badger hair considered so desir-
able for shaving brush?-P. r. j.

have unusual length and strength ana are
resistant to abrasion. 1t Is the shape OF ING
badger hair f1bers, however, which makes them

Married Women Working

To the Editor of The Star:
You have carried various reports Of baccalau-
reate speeches telling the graduates OF the
great opportunities awaiting them. Yet my
daughter can't find work. She is mature,
single woman who will probably always have
to work for living. Every place she goes the
married women fill the jobs. But the married
women's husbands already make good money.
The love of money being what it is, married
women want to make more, even though they
may be taking it from people in need.

Teen.Age Cut.Ups

o
For the past eight months, I have worked
as an assistant manager in one of the local
theaters During that time, have come in
contact with countless people from all walks
of life. OF them all the most impressive group
was composed of the teen-aged delinquents
who nightly found refuge Cor what have you)
in our theater. These teen-agers ranged from
IL to 18 years old and the younger they were,
the more difficult they were to manage. Upon
several occasions, found it necessary to eject
a teen-ager because of the disturbance he or
she initiated.
Some mothers children can be very, very
exasperating, and it would be well for some
of these mothers to check the theaters and
corner drugstores to see their offspring in
action. FRANK ANTONELLI.

Making Democracy Work

To the Editor of The Star:
In the San Francisco Chronicle of May T.
there appeared a letter signed by officers OF
the local Council for Civic Unity on the subject
of racial segregation in the armed forces ana
other varieties of "Jim-Crowism
This communication is an intelligent dis
cussion of the issue and will well repay read
ing by interested persons. But am concerned
with two sentences especially: "Nonsegrega-
ton is a fact in some areas of American hfe'
and is workable whenever it is initiated with
genuine desire to make it work"
".. Given such action" (the ending of dis
crimination) 'the unity, strength and world
prestige of American democracy will be greatly
enhanced"
The latter reason alone should cause all
Americans to get four-square behind this fund
amental principle of American citizenship. For
when civil discrimination and petty prejudices
end, one of the most potent weapons will be
taken from the enemies of our democracy.
As to the former, can give some proof OBJ
tanned on recent trip East En- route from
California met number of colored travellers
on trains and in diners with whom, because OF
"a genuine desire to make it work" yet max
ing no special effort to avoid or seek contact,
conversed pleasantly and easily at table and
elsewhere In Washington I rode crowded
street cars and buses every day. On some lines
Negroes were as numerous whites. 1t was
gratifying to observe that the interchange of
common courtesies between the races was the
rule rather than the exception.
Some months ago a member OF Congress
attracted considerable notoriety by saying in
effect, that he'd be damned if he wanted any
black man standing by his side as an equal.
About the same time, whether by intention or
coincidence. there appeared cartoon showing

Juvenile Congressmen

JufCI1AC SSSllSh
To the Editor of The Star:
I listened to news broadcast Tuesday eve
ming, and it seems to me that we people should
be great deal more careful in our choice of
representatives hereafter.
This broadcast left me wondering whether
we had men or just boys at play in our Con-
gress The remarks of this particular speaker
sounded like this: THE representatives Of
the Farm Bill want to have their bill acted
on Immediately, while those of the oleo Bill
say that if the Farm Bill is acted on first
they will insist on adding the Oleo bill to the
Farm Bill and then the Anti-Lynch Bills
hackers made it clear that if Congress should
act on the aforementioned bills, they intend
to tack their Anti-Lynch Bill onto the Oleo
Bill What mess that would make!"
To me this indicates that our Congressman
are just little boys, each trying by threats
(petty though they may be- to have his own
way It is apparent to most of us veterans who
have come back from the war that our country
is in bad enough shape without these who
should be leaders yesortng to childish tactics.
In my opinion it is time to find out whether
we are going to play marbles, cowboys and
Indians or cops and robbers. When we were
overseas fighting, we couldn't have won any
battles if we had stopped to argue about who
was going to pull the triggers on the guns.
Why can't our leaders grow up and be men
instead of boys? We want action on many
problems that exist today, not mere words.
This letter is not meant as ridicule of any
person or group. A VETERAN.

Thinks Mundt Bill Needed

TO the EQltOr Oh 1ue otdI
It is unfortunate that there was "a lack OF
time to deal with the constitutional questions
as implied by the Attorney General IN his
remarks about the Mundt-Nixon bill. This
bill is also cited as possibly driving Commu-
nists underground, but I expect between now
and when Congress convenes in January,
194s there will be plenty of party-line activity
underground despite the fact that there Is no
law against their not registering with the At

Compulsory Retirement at 20

Compulsory retirement at ~
To the Editor of The Star:
A shabby and cruel joke is being played by

An order suddenly has been issued that all
who reach the age Of 10 must retire, even If
they have not yet completed the minimum OF
Is years service required in order to qualify
for half-pensions. 1t for years has been the
general belief that an employe had the right
to stay on until he reached the minimum and
these older men and women have been count
ing on that supposed right in making financial
plans for their last years.
Now they find themselves thrown out on the
street with what politely is called an annuity
but which is not even enough to cover their
