meaning "the beautiful little branch"-a
romantic expression of his influence as a
teacher of Erse. Personally a quiet, phil
osophic Protestant, he brought Catholics
and mont Catholics together in the Gaelic
League, and thus furnished a cultural
foundation for the movement toward in

by William Butler Yeats, Padriac Colum,
Shaemas O'Sheel and other authors of

inspirational. The glory of the past lived
again in his pages. He was a modern
Rienzi in constructive sense. Through the
Irish National Literary Society, the Folk

reached important audiences susceptible

Soap Box Derby MANAGEMENT.


Soap Box Derby MANAGEMENT.
To the Editor Of The stsri
I have only the highest praise for all Of
you who made possible the Washington Soap
Box Derby. The whole thing was conducted
in a most efficient and attractive manner
attractive especially from the boys point OF
view. I watched the officials in their treat
ment of the boys at the Armory and during
the Derby, and say it could not have been
better. The boys gained all kinds of conf
dence just from being with your people and
the Shell. Chevrolet and American Legion
representatives.
My boy entered the Derby for the first
time this year. He has long way to go
before he turns out top-notch racer. He
worked hard. if intermittently and crudely.
and he was eliminated in his first heat, but
I know that he has learned more and has
been employed much more gainfully than if
he had not entered the Derby. Already he is
pointing for Arlington Downs and next
years Derby with new ideas. new enthusiasm.
new confidence and definite sense OF good
sportsmanshp.
So with all sincerity. thanks, thanks very
much for the Soap Box Derby and to each
of your staff who so ably worked it out.

TRAGEDY at Bombuy

If there Is any conSoling aspect to be
discerned in the tragic air crash near
Bombay, it is the fact that public attention
has been focused on the problems which
the American correspondents had gone to
Indonesia to study. That the writer's who
died in the flaming wreckage of Royal
Dutch airliner had stories of more than
ordinary interest to tell is becoming evil
dent with the publication of some of their
mailed reports. The posthumous accounts
and those of William r. Mathews, Tucson
editor who escaped the disaster and one
of whose articles was published in yester-
days Star, indicate that the Dutch side of
the Indonesia controversy needs to be told
more adequately than has been the case.
Unfortunately, the tragedy in India has
wiped out the possibility of full report
by all who made the six-Week tour as guests
of the Dutch government In too many
instances the stories which the thirteen
journalists intended to publish upon their
return to this country died with them in
the accident. That is pity, too, because
these were picked reporters, experienced
in objective investigation and recording
of news. The opinions of such men as
H. r. Knickerbocker, Pulitzer Prize winner;
Bert Hulen, able State Department cor
respondent of the New York Times Nat
Barrows, whose Chicago Daily News dis
patches have appeared frequently in
The Star; William Newton of Scripps-
Howard, Burton Heath of the Newspaper
Enterprise Association and the other out
standing reporters in the party would have
been of great value in appraising the
troubled situation in the Far East. The
wiping out at one stroke of so distinguished
group of news gatherers is shocking
loss not only to journalism but to the
American people as whole

Red Challenge in Britain

The British governments proclamation
of state of emergency" to deal with
the London dock strike indicates the
gravity of the issue posed by this walk
out, described by government spokesmen
as a Communist maneuver designed to
cripple Britains economy at particularly
crucial moment. Indeed, the Attorney
General terms it economic and political
treason to both the country and the Labor
Party"
Nevertheless, the dockers remain defiant
to all appeals and warnings, persisting in
a strike unauthorized by their top leaders
and illegal under existing labor regulations.
Their attitude is aggravated by the prox-
innate reason for their action. The trouble
began two months ago by the dockers'
refusal to unload two Canadian ships in
volved in a jurisdictional strike between
two Canadian maritime unions. The Port
of London Authority, on which labor is
represented considered that Canadian
strike none of our business" But the
dockers showed their solidarity" with their
Canadian comrades" by walking off the
job when ordered to unload the boycotted
craft. 1t should be understood that neither
wages nor other legitimate grievances are
in question. Notwithstanding. the dockers
have been chronic source of labor unrest
during recent years, staging wildcat"
strikes on no provocation and causing
great damage to the national economy.
Unfortunately, the rebellious dockers are
not an isolated phenomenon. They obvi
ously have the sympathy of like-minded
elements in other unions. This is shown
by the refusal of various workers to CO.
operate with the troops assigned by the
government to unload struck ships or to
handle goods thus unloaded. The evi-
dence indicates that considerable minor
ity within the ranks of British organized
labor is restive, unco-operative or down.
right rebellious against Government
which rests chiefly on labor support and
is dedicated to promoting the welfare of
the working classes. How much of this
unrest is distinctly Communist in char
acter and how much due to exaggerated
hopes or narrow class interest lending itself
to Communist incitation is now being in
vestigated by the British secret service
and other official agencies.
Whatever may be true of its labor SYM

Music in Streetcars and Buses

u
To the Editor of The Star
Here in the District of Columbia we have
a law which prohibits any individual, group
of individuals, business firms or corporations
from creating or maintaining public
nuisance.
If the driver of an automobile stops IN
front of his house and gives few toots on
his horn to let the family know he has
arrived, he, or the family, may not consider
this act public nuisance" 1t lasts only a
few seconds Even the neighbors may not be
annoyed. Yet, if detected and caught. he
is brought into court for violating the law
and fine imposed. The next offense usually
is more severe.
If sound truck goes through the streets
blaring out advertising and music, the opera
tors are hailed into court for disturbing the
peace One may have radio in ones home.
but if it disturbs the neighbors. that is an
other cause for action.
Totally ignoring the law, our public Off
cials allow the Capital Transit Co. to roll
it's equipment through the streets of this
city blaring out advertising and wild shrieks
of so-called music.
Caught inside the car the passengers must
take it whether they like it or not. If this is
not a public nuisance" do not know what
to call it. DISGUISED RIDER.

Delay of Legislation Modifying

rage of pressure from veterans groups ap-
parently has caused the Senate Civil Service
Committee to shelve the legislation that
would modify veterans preference to give
greater job protection rights to nonveteran
careerists. Consequently, the measure prob
ably will be allowed to langush in the
committee without any action being taken
this year."
Is this democracy in action? Not pretty
picture-not even to many whom such legis-
lation would affect adversely the Veterans

fighting. They support the measure and
have suggested an 18-year accrual cutoff.

Spain normally is one of this country's
good customers and enjoys an enviable repu-

Delay Could Be Fotui

/. It would be most unfortunate if the
skgislation to strengthen national defense
through an administrative reorganization
and through a modernization OF military
pay scales were to get fouled up with the
fB-3s controversy Yet that would be the
result If the House Armed Services Com
mittee adheres to its decision to lay aside
athe reorganization bill until after its in
svestigation of the strategic bombing issue
i5is completed. There are hints that the
pay bill may be held up on the Senate
side until something is done about re-
organization.
!. The committees sudden decision to post
pone action on the bill to improve the
unification setup was precipitated by dis
closure of q move by Defense Secretary
johnson to "co-ordinate" all information
prepared for Congress on the acrimonious
B-36 dispute. Under ordinary circum-
stances there would be no question as to
the propriety of such "co-ordination"
, through the office of the Defense Secre-
tary But since Mr.. Johnson himself will
! doubtless be called to testify in the forth
coming hearings, some members OF the
committee feared that this channeling OF
data through the office of one whose poll
Scies are to be investigated might amount
to intimidation, If not actual censorship"
Mr. Johnson, naturally, denies any such
intent. But, however routine and we'll
intentioned the coordination directive,
developments at the Capitol skow that its
issuance was mistake.
That this mistake should imperil passage
of such vital measures as the unification
reform bill and the pay increases for uni
formed personnel would be regrettable
indeed. The Tydings unification bill, after
some modification, had been slated for
early approval by majority of the COM
mittee. 1t had been strongly Endorsed in
its overall objectives by Herbert Hoover,
whose commission had recommended
generally similar reorganization of the
National Military Establishment. Such a
reorganization is estimated to save as much
as billion dollars a year-and the fate
of the pay bill has been linked with the
possibility of using this saving for the
proposed pay increases
It is to be hoped that the House COM
mittee, weighing the disastrous conse-
quences of It's delaying action, will recon-
slider it's 13-to-12 vote to sidetrack the
Tydings bill. The B-36 inquiry is likely to
be lively and long. 1t would be threaten
ing pending legislation with death to post
pone it until this bitter interservice row
is settled. The fact that the President
could use his reorganization power to effect
the reforms provided in the Tydings bill
Is not an adequate alternative, because
even longer delays would be involved.

- Not only do the streetcar operators not
honor valid, transfers on stopovers. but 1t
simply kills them to issue, transfers when
requested upon payment of the initial fare.
An out-of -towner would get the impression
that the operator is paying for the transfer
out of his own pocket. ride the Mount

F street daily. and also have to pay announcer
fare on the W., M. 65 A. line.
Since streetcar and bus operators find 1t

Tax Strike Proposed
In Reaction to Strike in Hawaii

10 tne EdltoT OF IHe otsI.
After reading an article In the Honolulu
Star Bulletin concerning President Truman's S
attitude regarding the Hawaiian dock strike.
it appears as though he (Mr. Truman) and
his administration have no concern for the
welfare of the $4,000 people living in the
Territory of Hawaii.
From this article. there should be little
doubt in our minds that we have no repre-
sentation in our Federal Government, and
this being the case. we. the people Of
Hawaii should withhold and refuse to pay
any more Federal income taxes until some
thing is done by the administration about
this intolerable strike.
