Referendum on Home Rule

OF those voting in the Board of Trade
poll on the AuchincloSs home-rule bill,
791 per cent answered eyes" to this
question:
Do you think those liuing in the District
should approve, by an officially conducted
referendum pote, any ne1O form OF gou-
ernment before it is put into effect?
There was greater unanimity IN re-
Spouse to this question than to any other.
The 7s1 per cent who favor such a refer
endum may be compared, for example.
with the 64.7 per cent voting against the
bill and the 20 per cent voting in its favor.
The question also provoked smaller per-
centage of undecided" answers than any
other.
The response thus shown Is natural, for
1t Is logical. 1t may be taken for granted
that many of those who voted mo" ON the
question of legislation were Influenced by
their skepticism over It's final form. And
q substantial number Of those who favor
the bill in principle, regardless of its ques-
tionable details, would want the oppor-
tunity to vote for or against it as approved
by Congress.
1t seems to The Star that a referendum
vote on the finished bill is desirable If
not fundamental. 1t goes against the
grain, certainly, to believe that majority
of the Board of Trade membership in
Washington opposes the theory of self
government; opposes the right OF people
to decide for themselves the policies by
which they are to be governed, subject as
such decisions would be to the approval
of Congress.
Explanation of the Board of Trade poll
results lies elsewhere. The votes against
the Auchincloss bill reflected, no doubt,
fears as to the workability, in this unique
city, of the machinery for home rule. Such
doubts are increased by uncertainty as to
what might happen to the bill, as written
and revised in committee, once II got on
the floors of Congress and was subject TO
amendment. 80 t-''" 49, d"
The Star hopes that the committee will
report bill containing as partsi ofx its
enacting clause a'-provisior' a making Its
effectiveness contingent on the results Of
an ofdcial referendum That would
strengthen the bill. 1t would reduce
opposition. It would dispose of the
shadow-bo boxing which finds those who
believe in the principle of self government
voting against what is probably the most
carefully prepared bill for local suffrage
ever written. 1t would define the issues
It would state not merely the committee
plan for home rule-it would spell out
what Congress Is willing to offer in the
way of home rule.
Chairman Auchincloss and his commit
tee have been so anxious to perfect fair
and workable home-rule bill that the idea
of making 1t contingent on registered
acceptance by the people who live here
should appeal to them.

The Hour of Crisis in Palestine

uphold the United Nations and not to
secure foothold in the Middle East pur-
suant to the historic Russian ambition to
expand in that direction. But can 1t be
assumed that the Russians would act In
good faith? We can see what has just
happened in Czechoslovakia. We have a
measure of their good faith in what has
happened to joint undertakings in Ger
many and in Korea. Clearly, it would be
folly raised to the nth degree to 60 into
this undertaking with the Russians in any
expectation that they will not act in fur
therance of their own interests. II We
invite the Red Army into Palestine we
had better consider carefully how we are
going to get 1t out after the fight with
the Arabs Is over.
There may be other considerations of
national interest at stake in this matter
But these are the principal ones. And If
they are not given the consideration they
deserve before we commit ourselves to
any course of action in Palestine, we can
expect the people Of this country, when
they learn the facts from bitter expert
ence, to react in manner which can do
great injury to the best interests Of all
concerned

This Is Not q Witch Hunt

The roundup of alien Communists now
being pushed by the Department OF
Justice bears little or no resemblance to
the Red raids which followed World War
7. There Is nothing of hysterical aspect
evident in the series of quiet arrests and
deportations which is bringing consterna-
ton today in Communist circles. The 1919
technique of staging simultaneous raids
throughout the country in a house-to-
house search for dangerous radicals" has
long since been discredited and discarded.
Instead, FBI agents and investigators of
the immigration and Naturalization Serv-
ice have been picking up suspects one by
one, with a minimum of publicity. Each
defendant has been accorded every right
due him under the law. including that of
answering, If he can, the carefully docu-
mented charges brought against him after
lengthy investigation. More than thirty
persons already have been arrested on
charges of violating the immigration laws
and additional arrests are promised. Half
q dozen persons have been deported.
The Department of Justice refuses to
concede that these arrests are the result
of a drive" AS matter of fact some of
the cases have been pending for several
years, largely because shortage OF ship
ping facilities and unsettled conditions in
the prospective deportees' countries had
combined to make .deportations imprac-
ticable Now that conditions have i'm
proved, the charges are being pressed
vigorously-and effectively
The legal basis for most of the present
cases was laid by Congress in 1910, when
1t amended the immigration laws to per-
nit deportation of aliens who, at any time
in the past, had held membership in an
organization advocating overthrow OF the
Government by force. Prior to that it was
possible to deport only those aliens who
were party members at the time Of arrest
A number of highly placed Communists
have been caught in the net; despite their
protests that they are not now members
of the party. Some of them have been
accused of passport frauds, form of
trickery long practiced In Communist
circles. The care with which the depart
ment has prepared the cases against these
unwelcome guests means trouble for them
aplenty. 1t also means that they have
little hope of exciting sympathy by raising
false cries of witch hunting"

RuruI Health Problems

revealing StatlSt1cS were cited at the
recent National Conference on Rural
Health in Chicago, sponsored by the
American Medical Association. DR.. Flor
ence R. Sabin of Denver, president Of the
Colorado State Board Of Health, stated that
100000 OF our total population of
$4,000, 900 persons live in areas which have
no public health service. She said that
95,000,000 people live in regions where
medical services fail to meet minimum
leans, she contended, Systematically en-
ploy the benefits of modern preventive
medicine.
There is no doubt that rural health
problems are one of the Nations top pri-
ority needs. The last war showed that
the physical condition of young men and
young women from many rural areas was
below the average of urban centers This
dispelled long-held belief that country
children held an advantage simply because
of rural environment. Urban dwellers may
not realize that rural slums are Just as
much blot on the countryside as city
slums are to congested areas Further,
the average income of workers in indus
eild1 CcLtcIS lS higher tndIl IIldC OF workers
In farming areas.
Two important movements will help
overcome rural health disadvantages. The
Hospital Construction Act is already under
way and the building program will be
accelerated as costs come down. Civic
organizations in rural sections are raising
their quotas to match the Federal aid
funds. Modern hospitals in towns and
county seats will help induce younger
doctors to practice in less densely popu-
lated places. The second movement is
now shaping up. 1t is hoped that Congress
will pass companion bill to the Hospital
Act to bring preventive medical work to
rural regions. Health authorities believe
that money spent for preventive medicine
is asgood Investment for public funds Ii,
the interest of the national welfare. Rural
health plESolhlems lSslh9l are undoubtedly, serious
and demand sympathetic study by calln
agencies concerned IL r. - i

Team Up With Icebreakers to Make

By Thomas r. Henry


By Thomas r. Henry
Helicopters and icebreakers, working In part
nership, are blazing new trails in polar ex-
ploration.
They are making the toughest seas OF the
Antarctic nayigable, according to dispatches
from the l948 Navy expeditions whose hell
copters launched from the decks Of the Ice
breakers Edisto and Burton Island, now are
lowering over the heavy pack of the Roosevelt
Sea. They are looking leisurely for .paths Of
open water or thin ice which are almost
certain to exist even in the worst polar seas
Mount Siple Described.
Meanwhile, the ships rest under the shadow
of what is likely to become the greatest land
mark of the Far Western Antarctic, Mount
Siple, which rises just east Of the Ross Sea
and which dispatches from Comdr. G. L.
Ketchum, leader of the expedition, describe
for the first time. 1t is very similar in appear
ance to Mount Erebus, the only active Ant
arctic volcano, which Is on the other side of
the Ross Sea. Mount Erebus has been q major
landmark for almost = century.
Despite the similar appearance, however,
there is no reason ut present to believe that
Mount Siple is = volcano. The Navy expedition

But this winter, Comdr. Ketchum had no

Of the birth Of our noble and courageous
emancipator of the Negro race, insofar as 1t
could be done ut the time he was President
of the United States It now remains for the
white races to correct the injustice done these

Africa and selling them into slavery. Due TO
such brutality the antagonism between the

Congress- Keeping the Turkey
To the Editor Of The Star:
There is 1o-mile square in thess UNITED

born here are not citizens Of the country.
Congress for many years has deprived the peo-

right to vote for President and representation
in Congress.
Now. after 50 long, Congress is tired -of the
details Of governing the District Of Columbia
and Is offering the people taxpayers) what
Is termed "home rule" In doing this, Congress
Is not thinking Of the interests Of the peopls
(taxpayerD, but simply wants to get rid Of o

or will take the turkey and you take the

Letters to The Star

Denies Concessions Are in the MAKING
To the Editor Of The Star:
II there were any Democratic Jitters"
around headquarters, your editorial Of the
same name is the sort Of thing that could
cause them
cannot find anything In the utterances Of
our President that indicates he is going to
abandon his present foreign policy.
I cannot hnd any words on foreign policy
emanating from the Democratic National Com
mittee that give anything less than complete
support to the administrations foreign policy.
Senator McGrath's remarks concerning Henry
Wallace were coupled with nrm support of
the Presidents foreign policy and an attack
on Mr.. Wallaces.
Yet all Of . sudden we find the usually ealm
Star in q lather Of worry about modifying the
foreign policy "at the expense of vital national
interests" and "panicky concessions made at
the expense of the national interest,""
And then you come up with what you imply
Is course of action that has occurred to no
one but The Stars editorial writers, that the
President do what he honestly believes to bs
best for all of the people Of the United States"
am hopeful that you did not mean to imply
that the President was not doing what he
honestly believes to be best for ali the people
OF the United States" and that your statement
was merely the result of your writer's building
up such frightening straw man that his own
creature shattered his nerves. r
You have spent the better (no longer part
OF . column saying that the President and
the Democratic Party ought not to do some
thing that every bit Of evidence indicates they
have no intention of doing.
How would you feel If some one arose in
the Senate and made . scholarly speech
explaining why he thought that the editor
OF The Star should not hold up the Riggs
Bank next Friday noon?
Written with a steady hand and best regards.

Arsentina's Interest in the Falklands

Argentina Interest in the Falklands
To the Editor of The STAR st.sa
In your issue Of February II you published
which, believe, . few remarks can be made.
The islands frst were settled by French
sailors from ST. Malo, who gave them their
d name of Malvinas. The British Naval Chron.

Rcovery of the Malvinas has been attributed
to Davis, they were very probably seen by
Magellan and othela who followed him" Uoiza

Bousainville, chief Of the colony, believed that
the islands were Uncovered by vespucct. ~
In = treaty signed by France and Spain on
October 4, 17ss. France recognized the soyer-
eighty of Spain over the islands and sold all
hef' installations. The islands, remained =
Spanish possession untili 1885, when they
passed to Arsentins ut the time Of her. dec
laration Of independence. They remained un-
der Argentine Jurisdiction until 1888. On jan
uary 2, 1883, the British corvette Clio entered
Port Soledad and told Pinedo, governor of
the islands to leave within "A hours. The
Argentine garrison had no choice but to leave
Since then there have been protests voiced
by the Argentine government but they have
met with no success
During the first decade of this century b..
fore any other country ever claimed the
Antarctic regions, Argentines began their set
tiement and set up = weather station on the
Lauree Island belonging to the group Of
South orkneys another weather station was
established in 1875 on the island OF South
Georsis. on which was also set up the only
land whaling station Of the Antarctic FUR.
thermore, Argentina has sent many ether
expeditions to the Antarctic and has estab-
]ished five lighthouses, Is well as another
