House Approves
Bay Fish Study

A bill, creating a nine member
commission to study fishing prac-
tees in Sandusky Bay, was ap-
proved by a vote of 90 to 20 in
the House Of Representatives, Co.
lumbus, late last week and is now
in the Senate for consideration.
An amendment which would
have closed the bay area during
the two year period in which the
study is to be made, was tabled.
The commission study is the
outgrowth of bills authorized by
Representatives Esther Hardy,
Fremont, and Chester DeCant,
Elyria, which would have prohibit
ed commercial fishing in Sandusky
Bay.
When hearings were held on
these bills in Columbus last month,
hundreds of commercial fishermen
and sportsmen attended and
argued vociferously, pro and con.
The bills were sent to the con-
servation subcommittee for fur
ther consideration, and the COM
mission study plan evolved.
A. E. Bud" Wholf, Sandusky,
a member of the Erie County Con-
servation League, has been en-
dorsed by the league for a place
on the proposed nine-man commits
sion.

1t Speaks for Itself

Secretary of the Navy Matthews has said
that Admiral Denfelds letter declining
new post in London speaks for itself. The
Secretary announces that he will not
answer the letter, and he says that the
next move is up to Admiral Denfeld.
So ends, for all practical purposes, q
mans career, career built upon long and
faithful service to his country. Admiral
Denfeld has served through two major wars
with marked distinction. He has demon
strated measure of professional compe-
tence which won for him appointment to
the highest post in the Navy. But now he
is not to receive the courtesy of reply to
his letter. The next move is up to him
which is about like saying that he can re-
tire, and the sooner the better.
Admiral Denfeld has done nothing to
deserve this shabby treatment. To be sure,
he has differed with his civilian superior on
unification policy matters And he dis
closed this disagreement in the course Of
testimony which came as an annoyance If
not surprise to Mr. Matthews But this,
regardless of whether Admiral Denfeld was
right or wrong in the views he expressed,
Is not, or at least should not be reason for
discourteous treatment at the hands of his
superior.
Secretary Matthews, in sense, is right
IN saying that Admiral Denfelds letter
speaks for itself. 1t sets forth a perfectly
valid, proper and good-faith reason for
declining the London post. There is moth.
ing in 1t to justify Secretary Matthew's
reaction, and it is difficult to avoid the
conclusion that this reaction also speaks
for itself-that it tells in unspoken words
of an intolerant and omniscient attitude
which may we'll be at the bottom of much
OF the trouble in the Navy, and perhaps
in the defense esta blishment as a whole,

In all this, James amplifies reports and
rumors already widespread and widely
discussed What is more novel is its state
ments about the building of three $4,000
ton battleships equipped not only with con-
ventional f1re-power up to 16inch guns but
also with catapult towers for firing radio
controlled aerial torpedoes. One report
states that two of these big "battle-wagons"
are already in commission.
All this is in contrast to the current
policy of the American and British Navies
in laying up most of their battleships.
Indeed, James notes that, at present, the
United States and Britain have only one
battleship in service between them. This
is the United States Nays 45,000-ton

Novies Today and Tomorrow

To naval men especially and 10 strategic
experts generally, the publication of new
volume of James Fighting Ships" is a
notable event. This British naval annual
has for many years been recognized as
the most authoritative source OF informa-
ton concerning the worlds navies. Its
unofacial status gives it an objectivity
which enhances the authenticity OF It's
conclusions, coupled with confidential con-
facts whose reports are evaluated by It's
highly-skilled technical and editorial staff.
Experience has shown that, even in these
days Of oficial hyper-secrecy, James can
do a remarkably able job OF collecting and
Interpreting naval data.
There will be widespread interest, there
fore In some outstanding features OF its
1s4s-50 edition, just OF the press. The
foreword certainly does not indorse certain
estimates that navies are OF declining
importance. It predicts that, within the
next few years, there are likely to be "sev-
eral categories Of warships of revolutionary
type" such as atomic bomb carrier task
forces, anti-submarine cruisers, rocket de-
stroyers, fast, low-lying frigates, and gas
turbine ships. Although noting that the
big naval powers have adopted postwar
naval policy of "make-do-and-mend,"
there are signs that new fleets are in the
making. Indeed, 1t believes that current
cutbacks in construction are largely mott
waited by policy of waiting until the results
of revolutionary experiments now being
conducted by the United States and Britain
can be better known and evaluated. James
gives US the comforting assurance that such
experimentation by the United States
Navy Is intense and along several lines
especially anti-submarine defense.
OF course, what James has to say about
the Navy of Soviet Russia is of special in
terest. Considering the wall of secrecy
thrown about that Soviet activity, the re-
ports collected by James, mostly from
hitherto reliable sources" Is impressive,
though the editors point out that some of
them conflict, at least in part, and are pre-
scented with all due reserve" However,
the indications are that naval construction
is being pressed with feverish activity" at
all Russian yards, together with several
yards in the Russian occupation zone of
Eastern Germany. And there would seem
to be no reasonable doubt that submarine
construction has high priority. It would
seem reasonable to suppose that Russia
now has about 800 subs In service, with
another hundred planned for delivery in
the near future. One report cites pro-
gram Of $50 subs by the end Of 1851, an
other report raises this figure to 1000,
though James doubts that Russia has
"the shipyard capacity and the trained
technicians necessary to build an under
water fleet of this size in such short
time" Whatever the size, however, the

1t Can Happen Here, Too

The second of a series of articles In
today's Star discussing the new problems
faced by Capital Transit-the result OF an
arbitration decision increasing payroll
costs by over $1,000 OOO-shows what some
Of the other larger cities of the country
have done. Six Of the largest cities have
gone over to municipal ownership in one
form or another.
There are no blessings in municipal
ownership. There is no showing that the
companies are more efficiently run. There
is no revenue accruing to the cities. The
usual determining factor has been the
necessity of providing mass transportation
at fares the people can pay. And what
they cannot pay in fares Is made up out of
public tax revenues, sometimes disguised
in the form Of such subsidies as tax ex-
emption.
We may still be long way from taking
that step In Washington. But when a
public utility ceases to attract private
capital, when 1t can no longer pay divi-
dends that invite private investment or
charge a price for its services that the
public will pay, then public ownership or
public subsidies or q combination of the
two is inevitable.
For efi1cient mass transportation Is a
public necessity and must be provided one
way or the other. There are no longer the
fat utility barons Of half century ago,
the target Of the reformers Of that day.
The utilities are strictly governed by regu-
lation both as to the services they must
provide and the costs they may charge. 1t
will be q good thing II the Capital Transit
Company can continue to make 60 of its
business in private hands; if it can pro-
vide adequate service and make money for
its stockholders. But its continued ability
to do this is becoming big question, which
only the next few years can answer.
If the time comes when public owner
ship is the only answer-and public owner
ship means making both ends meet by
making up deficits out Of tax receipts-The
Star believes that it will be accompanied
by some such development as creation of
a Public Transportation Authority for the.
Metropolitan Area The question of ad-
equate transportation is no longer confined
to the boundaries of the District of Column
bia. 1t is problem that applies to the big
and growing city known as the Metropoli-
tan Area, and must be approached from
that direction.

Calls For Reopening
OF Transit Wage Dispute

To the Editor OF The Star:
1.-THE public be damned-it pays the bill.
So what do we care?" This seems to por-
tray the attitude of those labor leaders who
constantly are engaged in efforts to obtain
higher and ever higher wages for their
unions irrespective of the effects on an un-
organized and docile public from the pockets
of which must come the funds required 10
meet these ever-increasing demands.
The Washington public now must suffer
the consequences of not having been organ
lied and represented in the wage controversy
between the Capital Transit Co. and its en-
ployes which has just resulted in the amazing
decision of the arbitration BOARD 1aVorlng
the company's employees.
It is the same old story. The Connect1-
cut avenue underpass was foisted on the
public before it realized what was happening.
Now. not having been properly represented
in the wage controversy, the public PROBABLY
will have to pay higher fares on street.
cars and buses because, as the companys
president, E. D. Merrill, accurately said when
he learned Of the award: ANY additional
expense loaded on our present operations can
only be met by another increase in fares. a
cut in service or both. We have no choice"
AS night follows day, SO any increase in
fares and abolition OF the weekly pass Will
be followed by decrease in the publics
use of buses and trolleys This inevitably
will result in less efficient service and the
ultimate discharge of many employees The
latter have won a temporary victory. But,
like a boomerang, the increased wages in
time will strike back hard at the employees.
It is time for the public to take this mat
ter in hand and to have the entire contro-
versy reopened and reconsidered, this time
by board of high-clasS and well-knoWn
Washington residents. The decision OF such
a board should be and would be binding.
AS matters stand, one of the best transit
companies in the country will be forced out
of business in time, for the public simply
will not pay fares higher than those now in
force, which are too high for comfort.

Instead of worrying about non segregation

and destitute little children at the Industrial
Home School Annex on Loughboro road, near

children themselves.
Many wonderful people do think OF them
often, God bless them, giving them nice
parties, trips, Christmas entertainment OF all
kinds. But there's always great need Inc
buildings they live In, though mucn mas
been done to restore them, have been con-
demned. I've heard. And the children have
to walk, through all sorts OF weather, 10
separate building for meals.
The old plumbing and heating are so cratic
that the warm baths and coy sleeping we
love our babies to have are sometimes I'M
possible.
Our homeless children should have a new
home! Let us worry about that In the near
future. Right now there are more immediate
needs-winter clothes, little socks. coats,
sweaters, scarves, sleepers, shirts. There
are SO many Of them to keep warm. We all
know how much it takes to keep our own
babies and little folk going.
So let us worry right now about these
little ones, months to IL years OF age at
