The Legion Speech

The Presidents address to the American
Legion is not strengthened by his assertion
that Chief Justice Wilson's projected trip
to Moscow had no relation to existing
negotiation within the scope of the United
Nations or the Council of Foreign Min
listers"
After his conference with General
Marshall the President said one of his
reasons for considering the Vinson trip
was my particular concern at this time
over the attitude taken by the Soviet
representatives regarding the atomic
problem" Presumably he had in mind
that this attitude of the Soviet representa-
tives would be discussed by the Chief JUS
tice in his proposed meeting with Premier
Stain. And the atomic problem is mat
ter that is very definitely within the scope
OF the United Nations and it most certainly
has a relation to existing negotiations
within the U. N.
In other respects however, the address
TO the Legion was an excellent one.
Mr.. Truman reaffirmed our determina-
ton to stand up for what we believe to
be our rights and he again disclaimed any
thought of appeasement. Yet at the same
time he took pains to assure the Russians
that our aims are peaceful aims and that
we want to avoid war.
Thus, the President asserted that our
policy "is not now and never has been
directed against the Soviet Union" And
again, he stated that "the Government of
the United States utterly rejects the con-
cept of war as means of solving inter-
national differences"
II there is any basis in fact for the
notion that the Russians fear us, that they
believe we harbor aggressive designs
against them, the Legion speech ought to
more the President could have said to
this end. No doubt Mr.. Truman, like many
other people, is skeptical of this alleged
fear on the part of the Russians. There
Is good reason to believe that the Russian
leaders, far from fearing the United States,
are gambling on their knowledge and
belief that this country does not want war,
that it will go to great lengths to avoid
war, and that in almost any eventuality
1t will not strike first. This gives the
Russians a great advantage, for it enables
edge that they can always pull back If
and when it appears that they have over
reached themselves. The Russians are
realists about this sort of thing. It. is well
to remember, for instance, that the Rus
slams were not pursuing provocative
course in Europe when Hitler's armies were
poised and ready to strike. The danger of
aggression then was real, the Russians
knew it, and they shaped their policy ac-
cordingly. Today, when they are not
threatened with aggression, their policy
Is wholly different one. They are pro-
vocative and offensive, and it is hard to
believe that their present attitude is not
the product of conviction that they are
safe so long as they do not go to the
extreme of actual war
Still, as long as there is any chance
that the Russians may fear aggression
from us, it is the Presidents duty to do
what he can to reassure them And he
did it well in his address to the Legion

Atlantic Coast Subsidence

For many years scientists have been
asking each other: What is happening to
the Atlantic Coast? Is it rising or sink
tng?" The late DR.. Douglas Wilson johnson
of Columbia University, discussing the
problem in 1917 developed theory of
stability based on the observations of en-
gineers working in the neighborhood of
New York City. He thought earlier writer's
on the subject had been mistaken in be-
lieving that the Eastern edge of the Con-
tinent was Slipping" at the rate of one to
two feet in century The evidence he
submitted seemed impressive, and most of
his contemporaries interested in the matter
accepted it.
But H. A. Mariner of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey contributes to
the October issue of the Geographical Re-
view paper resulting from his own study
of the coast which reopens the debate. His
specialtyiS tides, and he writes about them
against considerable background of ex-
perience. The "sea-level values" for sue
cessive years, he finds, are varying. Tests
made at stations from Portland, Maine,
to Mayport, Florida, are the basis of his
conclusions. They show continuous lift
ing of sea level from 1880 to 1947
Regarding this, Mr.. Mariner explains:
ITO say that sea level has risen with respect
to fixed point on shore is only another
way of saying that the fixed point has
subsidized with respect to sea level" But
the question of which factor is "the active
agent" and which "the passive" remains
to be answered. IF the coast is the active
agent, the subsidence is absolute; If sea
level is the active agent the subsistence is
relative but in either case there is lower
ing of the coast relative to sea level" It
appears to follow that the Atlantic shore
is sinking-about e.02 foot a. year.
This means two feet of decline in q
century. Were the same phenomenon to
continue for thousand years 1t might
have implications of disaster for such cities

= Letters to The Star
Appearing as Anxious Curiae

Appearing as Am1cuS Our1ae
TO the Editor of The Star
May appear as amicus curiae in this court
OF public opinion in the matter of Ihlder versus
The Star and the Court of Appeals? Thank
you, will proceed.
1t seems that plaintiff Ihlder has misin-
formed this court. He states that he and the
rent administrator reached an agreement in
1942 to the effect that the administrator lacked
jurisdiction over the National Capital Housing
Authority. The record does not support him
and in fact fatty contradicts him. Ihlder, as
executive officer of NCHA, refused the rent
administrators early 1942) request for data
which other landlords were furnishing and
challenged the administrators authority. AS
1hlders public housing records were of no
value for comparison purposes and there were
no attempts during the war period by Ihlder
to raise any of his rents above the economic
rate at which they were frozen, there was then
no occasion for the administrator to take
action. There was never a direct court deci-
sion which, in any way, curtailed the admin
istrators authority over all local landlords,
including NCHA.
In addition to correcting the record on the
above points, desire to bring to the attention
of this court the further fact that another Fed
eral Government agency like NNCHA, the De-
fense Homes Corporation (Which built and
operated Mclean Gardens, Naylor Gardens and
Meridian Hill Hotel for Federal Government
employees, at all times submitted to the juris-
diction of the rent administrator in contrast
with the Ihlder attitude. Likewise, the District
government, which, of course is a Federal
agency, carefully observed the rent admin
istrator's authority in its renting of dwellings
on property owned by the District.
Could it be that Ihlder is little concerned
over the prospect of making hundreds of ex-
cess rent refunds plus legal penalties and was
hoping his old friend, The Star, wouldn't point
to the legal and moral principles involved in
NCHA's latest violations of law? Instead of
the Department of Justice taking Ihlders side
OF this controversy, 1t should look into the
implications Of this willful disregard of ten
ants rights Or can public housers, like the
kings of old, do no wrong?
The complaining Ihlder comes into this court
Of public opinion asking for equity. To secure
equity he must be willing to do equity and
must come with clean hands He is in the
embarrassing position of being unable to do
either one because he has been caught red
handed and 1--WE hope) red-faced.
Contrary to Ihlders partial land we mean
partiaD statement of the purposes of the rent
act, our local courts of justice have uniformly
held that rent control was intended primarily
as protection for tenants against all land
lords, whether benevolent or otherwise.
In view of the foregoing, the case Of John
Ihlder against the people (The Star, Court of
Appeals, ct all should be dismissed with costs
taxed against the unrepentant over-lord plain
tiff. Maybe he can find Federal subsidy to
cover this item along with all the others.

Mass Picketinq

This newspaper has been among those
who have unreservedly condemned that
form of mass picketing which can be
described more accurately as mob rule.
Some unions have carried this technique
to extreme lengths. Industrial plants have
been besieged, often by pickets who were
not employees, and nonstrikers who wanted
to go to work have been beaten and forcibly
driven off. Local authorities, including
the courts, in many communities have
been defied with impunity. In too many
instances, the orderly functioning of our
society, exposed to these mobsterS, has
given way to a condition little better than
anarchy. And this condition has been
encouraged by people in posts of response
bility who ought to know better. The
couraged it with the restraints which it
has imposed on States that tried to curb
what the court was pleased to call the
give-and- take of the picket line. And the
President, who misses no opportunity to
belabor the Taft-Hartley Act, has en-
couraged it by his failure to denounce
violent mass picketfng for the vicious, un-
American thing that it is.
1t Is not too much to say that mass
picketing, as often practiced, is a national
disgrace and any reasonable measures to
control it ought to be encouraged. Still,
it is possible to look with some misgiving
on the ruling by trial examiner for the
National Labor Relations Board that even
peaceful mass picketing can coerce nom
strikers and is therefore violation of the
Taft-Hartley law.
The main trouble with the original
Wagner Act was not so much the law itself
as the way in which it was interpreted and
applied. If it had been reasonably ad
ministered, the demand for amendment
might never have arisen. But the language
of the law was tortured by prounion
| officials to extract from it interpretations
| which happened to fit their own point of
view, and the inevitable reaction set in
What was true of the Wagner Act will be
equally true of its amended version, and
care should be taken not to read into the
new law meanings that are not intended
to be there. The assumption that peaceful
picketing, even peaceful mass picketing,
can be coercive In any real sense is a

CVA-58

Lie navy mas designated It's proposed
supercarrier the CVA-5S. Under Navy
terminology, CIV is short for aircraft car
rier. In the case of light carriers, an L is
added, and in the case of the bigger car
riers of the Midway class a B is added
to the CIV. Does the A in the new desig-
nation stand for atomic?
The Navy Department has answered
this question in the negative, stating that
A stands for heavy" 1t was pointed out
that light cruisers are called CLs and
heavy cruisers CAS-. But it certainly
would not be inappropriate to label this
65,000-ton carrier atomic" in view of the
latest information as to the size and de-
sign of this great ship. For the plans re-
veal a colossal floating base capable of
launching huge bombers of the type that
dropped atomic bombs on Japan.
The dimensions of the fiush-deck ship
are staggering, and so are the implications
as to her f1repower. She will have flight
deck spread Of 100 feet at her widest point
and an overall length of 1,O90 feet-which
is 130 feet longer than the As, ,00O-t ton Mid
way and her sister ships, the Coral Sea
and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The artists
conception of the ship shows her with
four catapults in a novel arrangement.
Apparently it will be possible in an emer-
gency to launch four large bombers at
once or in rapid succession-two from the
bow and one each from port and star
board catapult runways amidships. There
will be no island" to interfere with
launching or landing operations-a
marked improvement over the Navy's
present carriers. Naval officials explain
that radar has so simplif1ed navigation
and fire control as to make the island an
obsolete appurtenance The ship will be
controlled from side structures, the exact
design of which is still under study.
1t will be about four years, possibly less,
before this mighty warship is ready to 20
into action if called. When she joins the
fleet, America will have mobile airfield
capable of handling B-2es or other atomic
weapon carriers and ready to put to the
test the enthusiastic theories of the late
Admiral Marc Mitscher and other advo-
Gates of giant carriers. Even If she should
never have to strike blow against an
enemy, her very existence is bound to give
pause to would-be aggressors.
