net Committee, under the direction of DR..
Nourse, to make thorough study OF the
situation and draft proposals for an anti
imitation program to be presented to the
Eighty-first Congress after 1t convenes in
January.
The nature of that program presumably
will be determined by what the study
discloses. Unless economic events take q
decidedly new turn, however, it is likely
to embrace many of the proposals made
by the President in the past, only to have
them rejected by Congress. They include
the excess profits tax credit restrictions,
and special poWers-at least on standby
basis-to regulate the ALLEGATION of scarce
materials and to revive certain price cell
ings without reviving OPA.
It is anybodys guess, of course, whether
such measures will be necessary or effec-
tive. All one can be sure of at the moment
is that the economic outlook is sufnciently
uncertain to warrant the kind of study
called for by the President.

A Correction

To the Editor OF The Star:
The undersigned is a resident Of Georgetown
and msmber Of the Georgetown Citizens
Association.
I was present at the hearing before the
Board of Zoning Adjustment Tuesday morning
and testified against the appeal of Lawrence
I. Peak for permission to establish specific
first commercial use as storage of plumbing
supplies, ladders and filing cases in the one
story buildings and an Office and commercial
art studio IN the two-story building at the rear
of 1916 street, alley lot 826, Square l245."
AS published in The Star, November 23, my
testimony vas twisted into something which
made it appear that I was in favor of Mr..
Peaks attempt to commercialize our peaceful
residential community. The fact is that I
unqualifiedly have opposed any commercial
project Of any kind therein.
My family and have subscribed to and
have read The Star for several generations.
I never hays been misquoted before. 1t is
unfortunate that my remarks at the hearing
were not quoted to show just what my position
Is and always has been with respect to square

indeed, object. TO any commercial project Of
any kind in suare 1245, including a CONNER

Judoe or Politician?

There has been sound tradition in this
country that a member of the Supreme
Court should remain aloof from partisan
and political controversy. The theory un-
derlyihg this is that the court, to fulfill
its function, must conduct itself in such
a way that all of the people will have
confidence in its impartiality. This trad1-
ton is going to suffer as result Of the
speech which Justice Douglas has made to
the CIO in Portland, Oregon.
If Justice Douglas had been speaking as
an avowed aspirant to public Office. there
would have been little in the speech to
criticize and much to commend. He iden-
titled himself Fundamentally with the
interests and the aims of labor. He had
a word of praise for CIO President Philip
Murray. He spoke critically of our "con-
ventional diplomats" without further
identifying them And he commented on
the adverse reaction of Europeans when
they hear, "an American spokesman
again without identifying him-interpret
the American way of life "as some form
of unbridled, unregulated, dog-eat-dog
capitalism"
There was more to the speech than this.
He supplemented his praise of labor with
an appeal for sense of responsibility, for
recognition of the fact that labor has an
obligation which transcends its own mar
row, selfish interests. He took due note of
the struggle for control which is under way
in the world, and he portrayed with accu-
racy and perSuasiveness the great stake
which all men have in the outcome of
this struggle. In short, 1t was a speech
which, made by political candidate seek
ing labor support, would be deserving OF
praise.
But Justice Douglas Is a member of the
Supreme Court. not political candidate
Perhaps he has political ambitions; there
is much in the speech and otherwise to
suggest 1t. Certainly the speech was a
vigorous statement of opinions honestly
held. 1t may even be said that it is good
thing to have men of the stature of Justice
Douglas expounding such views. But he
ought not to do this in setting which
tends to undermine tradition that is
at the base of the prestige of the Supreme
Court. If there are to be more of these
speeches, if Justice Douglas is to continue
to pursue line that inevitably will be
interpreted as bid for labor's political
support, he ought to step down from the
bench without further delay. He is man
who has the competence to be either q
judge or politician. But he cannot be
both.

Indian Issues Before u. N.

The Security Council OF the United
Nations now is confronted with another
test of it's ability to compose disputes
threatening international peace. Fresh
from its prolonged wrestle with the Pales-
tine problem, it turns to consideration OF
the issues that may embroil the whole
Indian subcontinent, with incalculable
repercussions on world peace and stability.
The issues are Kashmir and Hyderabad,
though their respective Importance has
notably altered during recent months.
Armed Intervention by the Indian Govern
ment in Hyderabad, the Princely State in
Central India with Moslem ruler and a
Hindu majority of the inhabitants, would
seem to have rendered the question aca-
demic, especially since the ruling Nizam
himself has bowed to the logic of facts and
withdrawn his complaint to the United
Nations If the Pakistan Government
urges that Hyderabad be kept on the
Councils agenda, it is presumably for bar
gaining purposes in the other dispute, that
of Kashmir.
In contrast, the Kashmir issue grows
ever sharper and more menacing. There,
the basic facts are the reverse of those in
Hyderabad. Kashmir Is another Princely
State, with population predominantly
Moslem but with Hindu ruler and upper
class. Situated as it is at the northwest
apex of the Indian subcontinent, and
touching both India and Pakistan, it was
logically destined to be source of discord
between those rival Dominions. The trou-
BILE began when a revolt broke out among
the Kashmiri Moslems and the Hindu
Maharaja applied for union with India.
The Indian Government sent in troops to
support the Maharaja, whereupon aid was
given the Moslem insurgents. both from
Pakistan and from the wild tribes of the
Afghan border.
| 1t was at this crucial juncture that the
United Nations entered the picture. Hav-
ing taken cognizance of the dispute, the
Security Council sent commission to
investigate the facts, bring about a truce,
and arrange for plebiscite to determine
Kashmirs future status. Unfortunately,
the commissions efforts have admittedly
failed. It's report. while laying a major
share of the blame on Pakistan, criticizes
both contestants for their intransigeance
and unwillingness to cooperate with the
commission for peaceful solution OF the

Thanksgiving, 1948

The annual Thanksgiving of the Amer
lean people this year will be celebrated on
q razor edge of life. Even those 1ndi-
viduals who ordinarily are not mindful OF
troubles distant from their own experience
have been educated to understand that
their blessings are endangered Distress
is abroad in our Earth, and no one OF us
Is safe from it's influence The President
In his proclamation, issued November IA,
was frank in recognition OF the per1ls
faced by civilization in many different
sectors of the globe. He noted "the rich
ness of our blessings as Americans. THE
spiritual endowments of our country" he
said "are undiminished" and I'VE may,
as always, walk as free men unafraid."
In material advantages, too Mr.. Truman
declared, the national community has been
fortunate and should be grateful. "Our
harvests have been bountiful, our produc-
ton of goods abundant" Specifically, "our
resources have permitted us to aid the
needy and helpless of other lands" The
President rejoiced in Americas privilege
"to participate in international efforts to
advance human welfare" both through the
United Nations and independently. And
at the close of his statement, he called
upon our citizens to "observe that day by
giving thanks to Almighty God and
by resolving to render generous assistance
to the hungry and homeless" everywhere,
"thus renewing our devotion to the cause
Of good will among men,
These certainly as meanlngful words
supported as they are by generous giving
through public and private facilities. But
the need Is so great, the sheer physical
requirement of war-devastated communl-
ties so compelling that Mr.. Truman's
appeal should have repetition and empha-
sis wherever people assemble this Thanks
giving A challenging winter lies ahead
Before Spring comes again, millions OF
innocent and blameless human beings will
feel exhausting pain, suffer bitter sorrow.
The ordeal will furnish opportunities for
mischief makers to work their evil decep-
tions upon the poor and neglected. In
Europe and the Orient alike the tempta-
ton to yield will be difficult to resist. The
President knows the situation thoroughly.
It Is for that reason that he speaks as he
does Between now and Thanksgiving
year hence all of us should so live and toll,
so manage our time and strength, so dedi-
cate our hearts and minds that we shall
contribute toward the solution of the vast
problems of the world. In that way we
can merit our blessings, deserve our bene-
factions.

A Fair Test for Frinqe Parking

Chairman HoWat of the District Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency has decided to hold
up plans for additional fringe parking lots
until a "fair test" has been made OF the
two experimental ones now operating.
That is an understandable decision, in
view of the disappointing patronage at
one of the lots-that at Twenty-fifth and
e streets. But there is reason for believing
that the lot in question has not been given
a fair test to date.
The lot in the western part of the city
suffers from obscurity. Nearly every one
knows where the Municipal Center parking
lot is. Overlooking both Constitution and
Pennsylvania avenues at Third street. 1t
is familiar to every motorist who drives
between the Capitol and the, downtown
business section. But the western fringe
lot Is off the beaten path Few persons
know where it is, even after two months
of operation. Hence the disparity in num-
ber of daily customers. While the Munic-
ipal Center lot has been handling from
1900 to $500 cars weekly, the western lot
has attracted less than $50 a week. Each
lot has a capacity of about 400 cars day.
Mr.. Howat is convinced that the western
lot would be more widely used If more
people knew how to get to it. That is the
reason he has adopted his novel plan of
offering free parking tickets on which
principal routes to the site are printed.
He has been distributing these tickets at
luncheon clubs and other meetings OF
citizens He also has urged merchants
and other businessmen interested in the
success of the experiment to publicize the
lots among their customers The local
merchants have q stake in the outcome of
the program, for they stand to benefit from
any plan which makes 1t easier for shop
pers to visit the downtown stores.
The forthcoming holiday shopping sea-
son will be the occasion for critical test
of fringe parking. But the test will not be
q fair one If more shoppers are not made
aware of the lots and their advantages.
Those who have found the lots useful
should spread the word to their friends
and neighbors. And businessmen who
want the experiment to succeed-as 1t has
succeeded in other cities-will find 1t q
matter Of self-interest to make their Gus
toners more fully aware Of fringe parking
BENEFITS. If, after an adequate trial, the
present experiment fails for lack Of suf-
ficient patronage, 1t will be futile TO look
further to fringe parking for relief of traffic
congestion. And failure of this plan would
be severe setback to the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency and its plans for solving
some of Washington's parking troubles.

Our Economic Outlook

Despite the slight fractional decline in
the overall cost of living-the first such
drop in seven months-there is no reason
for premature rejoicing over the imitation
outlook in America.
Along with many other students of the
problem, DR.. Edwin Nourse, chairman of
the Presidents Council of Economic Ad-
visers, is UNDERSTANDABLE restrained in his
comment As he rightly suggests, it is
much too early as yet to jump to the con-
clusion that the "75-cent lamb chop" is
thing of the past or that consumer prices
will continue to dip until they level OF at
q point markedly increasing the pur-
chasing value of todays dollar.
It is true enough, Of course, that there
have been recent small signs of defia-
tionary influences in our economy. Con-
sumner buying has been falling off in some
fields, activity in the housing industry has
xlackened, and there has been drop in
farm and wholesale prices. Moreover,
taken as a whole, the pressures working for
inf1stion have been eased by our steadily
mounting production-a fact that has
brought the supply of goods more and
more into line with demand. thus lending
substance to the hope that the cost-of-
living trend will continue downward or
at least stop going up.
AS against all this, however, there are
certain other factors whose significance
cannot be minimized with safety. The
most important of these on the domestic
front is the prospective new round of pay
boost demands-an outlook making it seem
probable that good part of the resulting
increase in production costs will be passed
on to the consumer in the form of higher
prices. In addition-and more important
still-there is the fact that the world situa-
ton offers no likelihood that the United
States will be able to cut down on its
extraordinary postwar outlays for pre-
paredness and foreign aid. On the con-
trary, the chances are that our present
rearmament expenditures will grow and
that lend-lease program will be added
to the Marshall Plan to strengthen our
friends abroad-a need that raises the
prospect of greater competition for scarce
materials and heavy additional spending
for security purposes.
1t is because these inflationary factors
seem to outweigh the dehationary ones
that most economists tend to be extremely
cautious about reading optimistic mean
ings into the cost-of-living trend. Indeed
in the Government at least. they appear
TO be generally agreed that that trend, IN
spite of the current decline, is likely to go
up again rather than down. That is why
President Truman has just ordered a Cani-

Streetcars VS.. Buses


To the Editor of The Star
Washington now has a good streetcar sys-
TEN, speedy and we'll managed. Let's keep
it. Else the day of It's passing we shall surely
regret Any attempt to curtail such service
should be sedulously opposed. While the tran
sit company would be relieved Of the expense
of track maintenance. the people would be
relieved Of its advantages. The substitution
Of buses for streetcaH would destroy the best
system of mass Transportation for . city Of the
sise of Washington With its Government en-
ployes and the importance of its well-being.
Many more buses 1t least 50To more, would
be required than thert are streetcars to handle
the same crowds. And the streets would be
filled with buses-creating new bottlenecks for
traffic.
crowded streetcai is bad enough but
crowded bus is definitely worse. The rougher
riding and harder opehtion of buses is unduly
increased in winter west sther when ice forma-
tions and slush make tumpity going slow and
tedious-just what Goternment workers don't
want. And the sand and gravel 50 freely spread
make for muddy street, and crossings.
Experience has shown that buses do not keep
schedules as well as strtetcars. And the longer
waiting at corners or stop signs, exposed to
the weather, is q miserable accompaniment Of
such service.
Also to be considered are the unseen Losses
resulting from poor service such as colds and
more severe illness, broken engagements, and
time wasted, which even financially speaking
must amount to q considerable sum.
Look at the crowds In front of the old Post
ONCE Building, Twelfth street and Penrsyl-
vania avenue, waiting out in the open, ex-
posed to rain and snow and to the bitter told
winds of winter that sweep over the spot
Only when 1t is taken from us will people
fully realize the value of the old reliable STREET
car system and appreciate its worth-for sny-
thing but the best is bound to bring, in many
and devious ways, losses to the communitt
