Needed in the Air Ace

The Presidents Air Co-ordinating Com
mittee now has before it proposals of far
reaching importance in terms both of
strengthening our commercial aviation and
promoting the security of the Nation.
Drawn up by a commission of technical
experts representing several Federal agen-
cies, pilot organizations, airline operators
and the radio industry, the proposals call
for long-range program designed to
eliminate most of the hazards and un-
certainties that still bedevil aviation. In
effect, what they boil down to is plan
for a great Nationwide network of auto
matte radar and other electronic controls
to permit safe flying in virtually all kinds
of weather and to keep constant check
on every plane in flight over or near the
continental United States
To that end the projected plan-involv-
ing an expenditure of $1,113, 100000 over q
period of Is years-would put into opera
ton airborne and groundbased electronic
equipment of various types, including
magical takeoff and landing controls and
television-like devices that would greatly
extend the vision of pilots. In addition,
regulated largely by radar machinery 10
Gated at key points throughout the coun-
try, sky traffic would be handled along
specified "air tracks," and there would be
no need any longer for planes to "stack up"
while waiting for chance to land
The most significant aspect of this pro-
posed program is that it promises to make
air transportation about as reliable as
transportation by ship, railroad or auto
mobile AS far as commercial aviation Is
concerned, nothing could be more i'm
portant. Our passenger lines have been
suffering heavy losses in actual or potential
revenues because of bad-Weather fight
cancellations and similar factors dis
couraging customers who want to be sure
of departure and arrival time when they
take trip. If this basic weakness can
be eliminated-and the plan before the
Presidents committee is meant to elm
mate it-then the plane-travel business
will be able to look forward to great and
profitable expansion. Moreover, the plan
has an obvious relationship to national
defense. For one thing, the radar network
it emissions would be an indispensable part
OF the detecting machinery we must set
up here at home and on outlying bases to
cope with the danger of sudden attack
from the sky. Further than that, the
network would be invaluable in case of
an emergency demanding a swift and
extraordinary movement of our air power.
In principle at least, if not in all its
details, the plan submitted to the Presi-
dents committee thus merits the strong
est support. The age we live in demands
something very much like it. When the
time comes for Congress to act upon it,
the action should certainly be favorable.

Disagrees With State Department

To the Editor Of The Star:
Our alleged foreign policy has just hit new
low. The State Department, after an unex-
cusable interval during which aid to China
has been stopped, has now come forward with
a proposal to furnish $40 millions of aid
but-and here's the joker-none of this can
be spent for military purposes! There are
said to be four American trained and equipped
Chinese divisions ready and willing to fight
the Communists. But the State Department
has refused to supply ammunition for these
troops for the past three years in spite OF
the fact that plenty OF surplus ammunition
is available in Japan.
1t looks as though the bright boys in our
State Department hope to have new. roads
built and several IVA projects we'll under
way in China just before the Communists
take over. Or does General Marshall still
think that the Communists are just simple
agrarians Socialists? That propaganda line
originated in our State Department No Won
der that the Wedenneyer report was sup
pressed!
And what a mess we are in with respect
to Palestine! Our bright State Department
advisors were certain that the Arabs would
not fight. But now we are afraid even to
remove the embargo on arms to Palestine
for fear that our oil supply will be cut off,
thereby preventing success of our alleged Mar
shall Plan. 1t looks as though all of this
was being planned about as we'll as our aid to
China. HENRY c. PARKER.

Federal Employees Plight
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Most of us only know what we read in the
papers about Government spending and poll
tics But Government workers who have been
digging up Government advised savings to
make ends meet and those who have bills and
no savings left wonder how our leaders can
send billions of dollars worth of help to Europe
under the Marshall Plan with no hope of cas-
ing hunger with it nor of return paymenD yet
not help our Federal employees with substan-
tial wage increase.
High prices have increased the Treasury in
come substantially by increased business VOL
ume, but high prices also have reduced a
great number of Federal employees to an en-
barrassing standard of living. C. H. J.

Unconventional Finance Appraised

To Editor of The Star:
In The Star, October 2S, 1947, Walter A.
Bowers mentioned me by reference in show
ing an intimate knowledge Of unconventional
postal finance. That much is wrong can be
agreed, but the Post ONCE is not alone The
wrong, to put it mildly, applies to the whole
Federal system and goes back to our begin
nings as q Nation. -..

was glad to see in The Star letter from
Mr. Ruark opposing the suggestion that FM
broadcasting interests want to put receivers OH
streetcars and buses. Why do We have to put
up with more confusion and noise than we al
ready have? Empty heads who don't know

national debt over 400 billions and income tax
collected forcibly at the source. to support 3
government that supported itself for 1873 years.
Is a situation that matters very much-now.
The accountability that is part of the destroy
ing power to tax is not discharged and despite
the requirement to do SO in the Constitution,
it has not been met, namely: "and regular
statement and account Of the Receipts and
Expenditures Of all Public Money shall be
published from time to time"
1t is not 50 much, now, that the Post ONCE
does not know fiscal facts that are known to
business. The important thing now, is to fix
the fault that prevents fiscal competence And
1t is clearly seen in the heading of postal
appropriations, as it has been for 112 years,
namely: THE following sums are appropri-
ated in conformity with the Act OF July 2,
1896"
When that act and the maze Of law that
has been piling up on itself for decades is
modernized, there will be competence in Fed
eral bookkeeping and not before. Mr.. Bowers
points to the withdrawal of the postal deficit
from the Treasury without an appropriation,
as required by the Constitution, but it has the
authority Of subsequent law, even if it is in
the twilight of legal fiction 1t cuts across all
agencies like the bar sinister.
The modernization of our Federal legal maze
Is q huge legislative task, not executive. Con-
gress needs the best help in America, public
and private; and would like to suggest that
it might be found, in part at least, If retired
Federal officials devoted an extra year of noble
patriotic duty in aid Of this gigantic legisla-
tive labor. WILLIAM L. SLATTERY,
Former Comptroller, Post Office Department.
Citizens Association Consistent
To the Editor of The Star:
The actions, as reported in The Star of the
Cathedral Heights Cleveland Park Citizens
Association were at least consistent First they
opposed the Auchincloss bill as "a snafe and
delusion" and secondly voted $40 to the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra and IS to the
Police Boys Club. Small thinking in each case!
I trust this does not, really reflect the citizen
ship of the two areas of Northwest used by the
association in its title.

Hillel Foundations, has been given
a leave of absence until Septem-

as Director of Jewish Education
Overseas for the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee, it
has been announced by DR.. A. L.
Sachar, national chairman of the
B'nai Birth Hillel Commission.
He will sail for Europe on May

his office in Paris, although his
work will take him to other parts
of the continent. In his new ca
pacity, he will be responsible for
coordinating the work of Jewish
education and cultural RECONSTRUCT

which the entire B'nai Birth or
ganization felt at the news of
Mr.. Shapiro's appointment when
he wrote the letter: II am very
proud of the responsibility that is
being assigned to you. 1t is given
to few men to go into a devastated

Canadian Congress announced

Canadian Congress announced
here.
During the course of the dis
pute, unparalleled in Canadian
Jewish history, enemies of the
Jews forced passage through the
municipal council of coming laws
to prohibit the building of the
synagogue to replace a century,
old temple. When this method
failed and the structure was erect
ed, the municipality passed a law
expropriating the land on which
the building stood. In addition,
unidentified vandals stoned the
synagogue and set fire to it's in
terror.
The Congress, which led the
fight to prevent the ousting of the
Quebec Jews from their house of
worship, campaigned throughout
the country to arouse sentiment in
favor Of the Jewish cause. In a.
statement after the municipalities
decision to revoke it's restrictive
and illegal regulations, the Con-
gress said "the security of the
synagogue is insured as a result
of this important victory"

Cough Syrup Is
Most Effective

Cough medicines usually contain a
large quantity Of plain syrup-a good
ingredient, but one which you can
easily make at home. Take cups or
granulated sugar and cup Of water
and stir a few moments until dis
solved. Or use corn syrup or liquid
honey, instead Of sugar syrup.
Then get from any druggist 211
ounces Of Pinex, pour it into pint
bottle, and fill up with your syrup.
This gives you a full pint Of wonderful
medicine for coughs due to colds. It
makes a real saving because it gives
you about four times as much for
your money. Never spoils. Tastes fine.
This is actually a surprisingly ef-
fective, quick-acting cough relief.
Swiftly, you feel it taking hold. 1t
loosens the phlegm. soothes the irri-
tated membranes and makes breath
ing easy. You've never seen anything
better for quick and pleasing results.

proven ingredients, in concentrated
form, a most reliable soothing agent
for throat and bronchial irritations.
