Lotteries and Competition

LOtteII es HHU NOn1pStItIUn
To the Editor Of The Star:
It is to laugh. Now, the FEC is being asked
to ban certain contests from the air on the
grounds that they are lotteries. What is the
complaint? Do the compliments think lotteries
are wicked, and that the people are being con-
taminated2 Not on your life. The competi.
ton is more than they can meet.
These are the boys who believe in free
enterprise. They strenuously object to Gov
eminent interference in business, except
when they are getting hurt. Then they call for
the cop. They want their competitors
squelched Will they succeed9 This looks like
1t might be the case of an irresistible force
meeting an immovable object.

Blames Liberals for Nationals Closing


To the Editor OF The Star:
As white southerner I have been highly
amused at the antics, pro and con- Of those
who applaud or deplore the closing OF the Ma
tional Theater. Personally always felt that
the theater should have remained open with
patrons admitted without regard to race, creed
or color.
recall as q child being taken for dinner
to the home Of colored family in the country,
the head Of the household being a former
slave OF my grandfatheris. My grandfather
and sat down to dinner with this colored
family, and not only was there no question of
race involved, there was no possible reason to
bring 1t up, since my grandfather had lost his
fight, most misguided one, thought, and the
ex-slaves being liberated had decided to remain
on acres that my grandfather turned over to
them without rancor or delay.
boy. never Judge people by their color or
condition in life" my grandfather admonshed
me. "A gentleman is . gentleman and lady
Is lady, regardless of how they live and
where they came from, unless Of course their
actions prove otherwise"
I never forgot this and I grew up without
any racial prejudice whatever thanks to my
grandfather and his simple. tolerant philosophy.
To me. 1t is an eternal disgrace that any
lhCu1CA la tAC Sdpltdi, Oh ElSSWucIC
in the United States, would bar q person be-
cause Of race. This, to me, is the negation
of democracy and Christianity. We may pick
our company, yes, but at the same time we
do not deny others the benefits and pleasures
Of Q democracy because their skin Is darker or
their religion Is different than ours.
Recently. have been attending one Of the
smaller cinema theaters and have observed
that Negroes were admitted without question
How much better 1t would have been for the
National to change it, policy and let those
who believed in segregation stay away, while
admitting those who were more concerned
with the plays than with the complexion of the
patrons.
Unfortunately. this situation 10 due entirely
to the conception Of so-called liberal" thought
in the United States Had iberty-loying
Americans in Washington refused to patronize
legitimate theater that prscticed segregation
this lamentahle policy would have been
changed: but no. they continued to attend,
giving as their excuse that such evils would be
remedied in the future. As DR.. Durham points
out in his excellent study, Man Against
Myth" the average liberal does not desire any
immediate change In the economic or social
structure He Is . rabid reactionary at heart
and will remain 20 until he dies. Therefore
we do not have q National Theater and We do
not have democracy In the Nations Capital.

The President assailed as 'ridicu-

mended, the, O'Mahoney-Kefauver

Mr.. Hull stressed the necessity for
the Soviet, the United States, Brit
ain, France and China to work to-
gether," declaring that "a special
responsibility" rested on them to
exercise jointly world leader
ship toward unity and cooperation. .
Externally Sound" Principles.
Mr.. Hull insisted in his statement
last night that the principles un-
derlying the United Nations are
"eternally sound" But he empha-
sized that the organization can
function satisfactorily "only if the
nations that have established it are
willing to operate 1t with full un-
derstanding of its potentialities,
with infinite patience, and with a
steadfast determination to make 1t
work."
Long before the war was over Mr..
Hull foresaw the need for getting
a Soviet commitment to cooperate
in a postwar peace organization. He
boarded an airplane for the first
time in his life in October, 1943,
when he was 70, and flew TO Moscow
to push his idea in a conference
with Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
tov and British Foreign Secretary
Eden.
He obtained Soviet signature with
the United States, Britain and
China on October 80, 1943, to the
-Four Nation, Declaration pledging
those governments to establish an
international organization for the
maintenance of international peace
and security as soon as practicable.

Evott Heads u. N. Appeal
For Support of Efforts

PARIS, Oct. 23 (P.-Australia' s
Herbert v. Evatt led a series of ap-
peals today by United Nations lead
ers for universal support of the Or
ganization's efforts to prevent war.
Our great aim is peace, our great
est enemy is war;" said DR.. Evatt,
president of the UN. General As
sembly, to a public meeting on Uni
ted Nations Day observing the third
anniversary of the ratification of the
U.N. charter.
Departing from a prepared speech
in an apparent indirect reference to
the Berlin crisis, DR.. Evatt told 5000
U.N. officials and guests in the great
hall of the Palais de Chaillot:
I'VE must stabilize peace and pre-
vent war. We must work for the
settlement of all international dis
putes by means of negotiation
through the machinery Of the United
Nations"
In Berlin Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the
American military governor, in q
United Nations Day statement, said
I'VE are aware that the United Ma
tions today faces the most critical
problems in its history. but we must
not give up hope for its success"
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman also addressed the Paris
meeting. He referred to the "deli-
cate problems" facing the U. N. and

point those whose future is in our

Same Old Record, He Says.
The Republican nominee, Mr..
Truman continued, is following his
1914 program of approving Demo-
cratic legislative reforms and prom
ising to improve on them.
"It sounds like the same old
phonograph record, but this year the
record has a crack and the needle
gets stuck in it," the speaker jibed.
The crack was provided by the
Republican Eightieth Congress.
In 1948, every time the candi-
date says, I can do it better, the
crack says We're against it.
These two phrases, Me, too, and
We're against it. sum up the whole
Republican campaign" he added.
Most Vigorous Attack.
The assault was the most vigorous
the President has made on Gov.
Dewey since opening his formal
drive for votes on Labor Day. 1t
climaxed a brisk East-West tour
across the State during which the
President loosed his heavy guns
against the COP in his second all
out bid for Pennyslvania's IS elec-
toral votes.
Pittsburgh, in the Democratic
stronghold of Allegheny County,
turned out thousands to greet the
President, who arrived at 7:30 and
then headed q motorcade that fol-
lowed a 1O-mile route from Union
Station to Hunt Armory, where Mr..
Truman's address topped of an
old-fashioned political rally. 1t was
among the biggest demonstrations
of the campaign.

was welcomed with as much warmth
as in the sections where his party
dominates, many Of the spectators

generation did its part by beating
tin plates and refuse can tops.
When the presidential cavalcade
crossed through the Garfield dis
trict, the President stopped in the
glare of floodlights to place a
wreath on the memorial to Garfield
war dead.
Before morning crowds at Scran-
ton and Wilkes-Barre, in the heart
of the hard coal industry, MIR. Tru-
man centered his fire on the Taft
Hartley labor law and the displaced
persons legislation enacted by Con-
gress. He described the former as
only the first step in the long
range strategy of the Republican
Party to crush organized labor
to the ground" and scored the DIP
measure as discriminatory against
Jews and Catholics,
At Johnstown, In early evening,
he assailed Congress for failing to
control prices, declaring to an ap-
plauding crowd estimated at $4,000,
in Municipal Stadium that big
business" had dictated this course.
Platitudes Charged.
The Johnstown audience also was
told that "GOP these, days means
just one thing: Grand old Platitudes
the President amplifying that high
level platitudes" are all that the
people are getting from his opponent.
At the three points the President
plugged for the election of Demo-
Gratis to Congressional seats now
held by Republicans, and he urged
the same thing in an unscheduled
trainside talk at Lock Haven, where
he told a good-sized gathering that
the last Congress was not one bit
different from the ancient idea that
Republicans have always had that
special interest comes first"
Democrats in both Scranton and
Wilkes-Barre expressed gratifica-
ton at the early morning turnouts
which greeted the President, who
spoke in midtown squares.

In support of his contention as
to the conflict between what Gov.
Dewey has said, and what Congress
has done, Mr.. Truman quoted at
some length from the COP candi-
dates recent speech In Pittsburgh.
Gov. Dewey, he explained, de-
clared for an increase in the Accent

Faith Not Shaken.
Since then, until last night, Mr..
Hull had carefully refrained in pub
lie statements from direct denun-
citation of the Soviet, emphasizing
his faith that Western patience and
understanding eventually would win
full Russian cooperation for peace.
His latest statement made clear
that this faith is not completely
shaken. He said the United Ma
tions could not be expected to
function effectively overnight" be-
cause nations, like individuals, often
take "a long time to learn the ways
OF conduct best calculated to give
them the maximum of security and
well-being."
And too often," he added, "in
the process Of learning, they do in
jury to others and to themselves.
A tragic example of this has been
thte international behavior Of the
Soviet Union during the past three
years"
Mr.. Hull, who resigned as Secre-
tary of State because Of i'll health
four years ago, has been confined

HOW TO CONTROL

These were the methods that made millions of school children just like Hitler and Mussolini wanted them. To favor federal aid is to argue for the exchange of our present public school system, with. locally controlled public operating alongside many private and church related schools, for a nationally financed and nation ally controlled system. No two ways about it, federal aid would mean undesirable federal controls.
 Controls do go along with fin ancial assistance, and our fed eral government has no record to the contrary. In fact, the Su- preme Court of the United States has already declared, in the case of farm subsidies, that the fed eral government may control that which it subsidies. When one federal aid bill was debated in the Senate, amendments to con- trol not only the aid. But also that which it supplements, were of fered and accepted.

ONLY THE BEGINNING

Some of the people supporting proposed federal aid" to edu- cation bills admit frankly that these represent only a beginning. Once the principle had been ad- opted, they say, increasing ann cunts could be expected. Those acquainted with the way federal projects grow and grow and grow. would naturally expect this to happen. Within a decade the fed eral government would be car rying the chief burden of pub lie education.
 Is this bad? Just to suggest the idea is to show the danger. De- ciSions of policy for public edu- cation would be made on the national level. After such nation alization of the public schools, 1t would be easy to obtain legis- lation requiring all students to attend public schools for nation al indoctrination" purposes. This is exactly the type of thing we decry in Russia.

 Instead of concentrating the long-negected tasks of peace able reconstruction the world is forced back to the mdkng of common. Instead of roads and schools and churches and civilian con- veniences and comforts. and the other peace loving and freedom-loving peoples of the world must begin again to build armies and planes and guns. Instead of being able to commend the power of atomic energy to health giving and useful pur- poses. must concentrate on it ds zeoously gudrded weapon of wor.
 United Stotes militorY men now are talking about q $20.000000.000 budget for ndtiondl defense os q minimum requirement. Thut sum would endow oll higher education in the United States.
