Unfinished District Business

The special session of Congress is not
apt to spend much time on local af1alrs.
But there are two pieces OF unfinished
local business that should be cleaned up
Immediately One Is the enactment OF
District sales tax The other is removal OF
the discrimination against municipal en-
ployes resulting from failure to approve
for them the same cost-of- living salary
increase voted for Federal employees.
The two things hang together. 1t was
the failure of the sales tax which pre-
vented the increase in municipal salaries
Until the sales tax is approved there will
be no money to pay the higher salaries.
In respect to the sales tax, information
is now in hand to show that unless collec-
tions of revenue from the tax begin soon
the city will be unable to meet normal
expenses in the fiscal year 1850. Even
with a budget held strictly to the level
of current appropriations there will be
deficit-without the sales tax-of about
$4,000 900. 1t is now apparent that the
budget cannot be held to that level.
Maintenance costs are increasing and the
money must be found to meet them.
AS for the salary inequity, it has been
sharpened by an important decision OF the
Controller General Under that decision
employees of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission have been found
eligible to receive the Federal pay increase.
The principle of that decision would like
wise apply in the case of employees of the
National Capital Parks, the Zoo, the Regis
ter of Wills, the Washington Aqueduct,
the National Guard Armory-all of whom
derive their salary from local revenue.
Here we have the curiously unfair situa
tion under which municipal employees are
denied the pay increase given their breth-
rem on the Federal payroll, because of
shortage of local revenues; yet the made
uuate local revenues must be used to pay
higher salaries for employees in agencies
which, though national in character, are
.supported from local funds.
The sales tax has already been approved
bv the House 1t would have been ap-
proved by the Senate in the closing hours
of Congress, along with the local salary
increases, but for the objection of Senator
Johnston OF South Carolina. That ob5ec-
ton was effective because time was rum
ming out and the Senator was prepared to
filibuster, If necessary, to have his way.
But no such situation will obtain in the
special session. The Senate should meet
the issue and dispose of it Immediately.
The salary discrimination is wholly unjust
and the sales tax is required to remove 1t
and raise additional funds for running the
city government.

The Known Soldier

The known Soldier of the First World
War has joined the Unknown. Neither will
be forgotten Each is forever safe in the
remembrance of the millions for whom
they served.
John Joseph Pershing was an ideal COM
mander. His name is linked with those OF
Washington and Grant. Yet there was
moment in his youth when 1t seemed that
fate intended him to be merely self
taught teacher of children in little Mis-
souri, town. The love Of the youngest
generation never left him. Doubtless it was
confirmed, deepened and heightened by
the sorrowful tragedy which in 1915 cost
him his wife and his three daughters.
After that dreadful experience he found
relief in increased devotion to his country
and its people.
Few other men have held America so
dear The generals patriotism was quiet
but dynamic force. 1t gave to his career
an irresistible energy His distinctive eff
cheney accrued in large part from the
earnestness and the tirelessness OF his
labors. Duty was to him the consistent
habit and practice of his life. He was
master of the art of war because he was
an indefatigable as we'll as profoundly
intelligent student of it. His mind was
clear and calm; his Judgment sound and
sane; his natural genius creative and
constructive.
From the time of his graduation In 1885
as first captain and president of his West
Point class he was marked man in the
Army. All soldier, he made enemies and
his rapid advance in rank over the heads
of others left unhealed wounds. But in
the Army he was respected and President
Wilson knew what he was doing in reach
ing down to pluck him from relative OBJ
scurity and place him at the head OF the
American Expeditionary Force. Strict dis
ciplinarian, ruthless in his own selections
and his own discards in fashlonlng a
striking force he was inSistent on preServ-
ing the identity of the American Army
among the Allies where man OF less
rugged character might have yielded The
armistice found him the great commander
of q great and victorious Army.
He enjoyed unique position in the re-
spect and affection of his countrymen.
In purpose direct, in manner methodical,
he offered to the mirror of his times
the aspect of an independent. rigor-
ously self-governed philosopher. The
role he played was difficult, tedious,
exacting. He met its demands with
out STOPPING No partisan interest
ever claimed him. The laurels showered
mon him left him unchanged. Among

salopika, the gateway of the vardar
Valley to the sea.
Despite political partitions recalcit ant
minorities persist In Macedonia itself,
while hosts of exiles foment trouble. The
erection OF an autonomous Macedonia"
within the Yugoslav federation has reused
Greek fears of losing Salonika and has
inhamed Bulgarian resentment. It Is
Macedonia that has been the stumbling
block to ideas of a Balkan federation pro-
posed by the Communist leaders, Tito and
Dimitrov And now that the Communists
have fallen out, Bulgarian and Albanian
nationalist aspirations to slices of Mace
donia have been revived. The incompati-
bilities of communism and nationalism in
the Balkans are thus dramatically revealed.
How Moscow can reconcile them remains
to be seen.

he was loved as well as deeply re-
spected. To strangers he personified Amer
lea in arms. He lived to see the officers
he had trained win World War II. Up to
the last his example and his influence were
active forces to his country's advantage.
Now the Nation he strove to keep free and
strong mourns him as 1t thanks him. He
has release from pain and care. But, like
his comrade known only to God" he
does not really die.

Captive Mine Settlement

The agreement ending the strike In the
captive coal mines produces q principal
result that is manifestly desirable. For
prolonged strike in these mines would have
meant curtailment of steel production
with seriously adverse consequences for
this country and the world.
There are other aspects of the settle
ment, however, which cannot be unquali-
fiedly Endorsed.
John L. Lewis has won his main point.
The contract carries a union shop pro-
vision although 1t is subject to modif1ca-
ton If the courts ultimately should decide
against Mr.. Lewis in the complaint which
has been fled by Robert N. Denham, gen.
eral counsel OF the National Labor Rela-
tons Board But the fact remains that,
In the interim, Mr.. Lewis gets his union
shop when, under the plain language OF
the Taft-Hartley Act, he is not entitled to
1t. Furthermore, this apparent circum-
vention of the statute comes about through
the mediatory efforts of Federal Judge
T. Alan Goldsborough.
1t may very we'll be, however, that one
should not take too legalistic a view OF
these aspects of the matter. In the hrst
place, the applicable sections of the law
were not really intended to apply to the
problem raised by Mr.. Lewis action. The
law provides that majority Of employees
must vote in favor of q union shop before
one can be granted. But Mr.. Lewis, having
refused to execute an anti-Communist
affidavit and having also refused to publish
the financial statement required by the
law, cannot ask for an election. The fact
is, however, that Mr.. Lewis is not Com
munist, and, If an election were held
there is no doubt that the miners would
vote overwhelmingly for the union shop.
Furthermore, there is considerable likeli-
hood that the next Congress will modify
or repeal the union shop provision of the
law since 1t has not worked well. If that
should happen before the final court ruling
on the complaint against Mr.. Lewis, the
basis of this dispute between the union
head and the captive mine owners would
be liquidated.

Care of Tuberculosis Patients

TO the Iditor Of The star:
That was an excellent editorial in The Sum
day Star on the deficiency in caring for thou
sands of tuberculosis cases made known by the
X-ray survey.
Many of these persons have been greatly
shocked to learn that they have the disease. as
I myself was 40 years ago this summer. But
they are fortunate in knowing, because now
they can do all they can to give themselves
the best care possible.
Some Of these sick people have no physicians
and to them something about their own care
may be said. The main points are rest and
nourishing food. Fresh air outdoors also Is ine,
but It Is not essential. Patients should rest lying
down ali the time for few weeks at least II
they have much fever. they should stay in bed
until temperature Is normal. They should take
their temperature every four hours for week
to see how it stands. Afterwards they should
check at 4 and pm. daily.
Rest should mean complete rest. very little
talking and no laughing 0or laughing stirs up
the lungs. Someone else should put pa

meals on a tray. His bed should be on the
same floor as the bathroom for he should not
