Would Tolerate Russian Films
To the Editor Of The Star:
Instead Of waxing 50 wrathful over the
showing Of Russian Aim in a Washington
theater, o. j. Dekorn well might have asked
himself If indeed the thing might not work
in reverse For aren't our Hollywood made
movies and our own Voice of America broad
casts beamed directly to the Russian peo-
pie, counterparts to the Soviet-inspired prop
asanda Mr.. Dekom has deplored? Do we
have 50 little faith in the fundamental sta
bility Of our American way of life that we
fear such a slight breeze of outside influ-
ence" will topple us of our base?
Let's leave the door open both ways. True
art or culture as such cannot be pinned down
within nationaliStic or theological boundaries,
but propaganda on the other hand should be
viewed by intelligent adults with mixture
Of scornful pity and amused tolerance.

GAO and REORGANIZATION

TO the Editor Of The Star:
In a letter printed in The. Star on
February IL. the conclusion is stated by
T. v. Regan, in effect. that Controller
General Lindsay c. Warren favors reorgani-
cation of other Government agencies but
opposes any change in his own agency, the
General Accounting Office.
Apparently. Mr.. Reean is not familiar
with the facts. The Constitution divides
the Government into three branches-legis-
lative. executive and judicial. The General
Accounting Office is by law a part Of the
legislative branch. Hence, q reorganization
Of the executive branch cannot apply to that
ofice, and the Presidents own bill expressly
recognized that fact. But, Mr.. Warren con-
sistently has invited. not opposed. reoreani-
zation Of the office, when undertaken by
proper authority-that Is" the Congress. In
recent testimony on executive reorganiza-
ton bills before committees Of both houses,
he had this to say:
my own agency. the General Accounting
s0kkice. isSexelNded Asgsgnet because it Is
'sszcrOsancts .of any mofs angelic than the
rest but in rkcognitionr rkhxk 1t is the. crea-
ture and agentspf Congress- by law part
of the legislative branch >" =. would
invite-not oppose-any studies and legis-
lation undertaken by the Congress looking
toward improvement of the General Ac-
counting ONCE. Any time 1t cannot justify
its worth by its accomplishments in the
opinion Of Congress- 1t ought to be abolished
or drastically changed" c. E. JOHNSON.

Objects to Hasty

r. tn. OBJ. objest. :; Is! to Hast labor Law
" Recent developments hanxtiig arom
congressional hearings iHsfDnnection with
the proposed new labor Inv, which has the
effect Of total repeal OF the Taft-Hartley
law. are commencing to show that organized
labor has chosen to interpret the Demo-
cratic victory in November to mean a COM
plete surrender to them and a directive to
get before Congress as soon as possible a
bill granting all their demands.
Senator Taft's courageous stand against
hasty action by the Labor Committee should
be commended for showing up the utter
folly OF this headlong attempt to kill the
present law. With very little help from his
party leaders. he has given unanswerable
reasons why such repeal would be stun
ming blow to the Nation
Repeal of the present law would eliminate
some Of the strongest and best provisions
ever enacted to curb abuses by labor lead
ers, strengthen the Presidents hands when
needed. protect us all in times Of foreign
and domestic emergencies and purge from
labor's ranks the terrible danger of Com
munist infiltration. It also would elm
mate the right Of the laboring man to know
where his money paid in dues is going,
and for what purposes. It would eliminate
the right Of any man to obtain work with
out committing himself to many restric-
tions he does not believe in.
believe the people of our Nation are well
aware that Mr.. Truman.s promise to repeal
the TaftHartley labor law was for the pur-
pose of getting the votes Of organized labor
and the undue and almost ridiculous haste
Of the trainers of the proposed new law
plainly shows their knowledge of the weak
ness of their position and their fear of the
Nations reaction if given proper time to
know and study its provisions.

Carmona's Opponent Explained

CarmOna's Opponent Explained
Tc the Editor of The Star:
I read your editorial entitled Election
in Portugal" 1t was. indeed, as you said,
popular plebiscite for Marechal Carmona
and his administration of the country.
You mentioned what happened to the
candidate of the opposition as consequence
of a too-enthusiastic backing of him by
Moscow. There. however. Is something Of
importance to be said on that matter: The
liberal and democratic" candidate not
only never condemned communism as a
doctrine but even stated formally that he
would welcome Communist votes!
Another interesting note for the American
public about the opposition candidate was his
standing on the Atlantic pact. Certainly.
The Star did not know that the venerable
old gentleman was against it, obviously not
to incur Russian disapprotal!

TV Static Criticized


have discovered that one of my fine
neighbors has bought television SET This
discovery was made not through the me.
dium of back-fence gossip nor the peeping-
Tom approach, but simply by trying to use
my own broadcast receiver in my usual way.
Instead of hearing my programs from the
local stations with normal clarity, I was
compelled to listen to whistles gurgles,
cheeps and snores.
This raucous disturbance of the peace by
television sets can easily be demonstrated
by visit to a television dealer. All that is
necessary is to listen to an ordinary broad.
cast receiver while one of the television re-
ceivers Is operating simultaneously. The
cheaper the television set is, the more noise
will be found. The less experienced sales
man will explain with ignorant sincerity
that the broadcast receiver performs poorly
because of the fluorescent lights or neon
signs in the store. Although fuorescent
lights do cause interference. the contribu-
tion Of the televsion set is easily proved
by turning 1t off and observing the
difference.
I would like to point out that it is not
necessary that television sets produce this
degree Of obnoxious interference on the re-
ceivers of the large number of people who
still desire to use radio receivers instead Of
television receivers. Television receivers can
be designed and have been designed so that
no gurgling is produced. Some manufactur-
ers produce them now, as is evident in the
better grade of set. In fact, the specific
remedy consists simply of enclosing a metal
covering around two or three radio tubes
and surrounding parts. For the technical
man, I am referring to harmonics in the
horizontal-sweep circuit.
The purpose of this letter is to suggest
to your fine paper several detectives in the
public interest as follows: To inform the
public of proper yardstick in the purchase
OF television receivers, namely, to require
that it permit operation of a radio receiver
at the same time; secondly. to bring to the
attention of the public through normal ad-
vertiSing the makes and models Of television
sets designed in the public interest; thirdly,
to secure governmental standards to elmi-
nate this semifraudulent practice in manu-
facture and sale to our well-meaning neigh
bors everywhere.
IRVING r. MCCONNELL.
Editors Note: The Federal Communica-
tions Commission has received some COM
plants about such interference. It's engineers
traced the troubles to inadequately shielded
sets. mostly of the home variety The
majority of manufactured television receivers
are so constructed as to eliminate ir1terfer-
ence, FEC officials told The Star.

Baltimore Board Hold!
Stormy Hearing on
Dogs for Research
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-Har-
assed members Of the Board Of
Estimates will decide within a
week or two whether Baltimore S
medical Schools will be allowed to
get stray dogs from the city pound
TO use in research.
They heard more than three
hours Of irnpassioned oratory,
simple pleas. and booing and hiss
ing yesterday at a public hearing
on the question. More than 5000
persons jammed the War Memo
rial for the hearing.
When DR.. Alan M. Chesney,
dean Of the Johns Hopkins Medi-
cal School. made the opening
statement in support Of the plan,
his words were almost drowned
out by chorus of catcalls and
jeers from the opposition.
Medical Men Present Case
Some Of Baltimore's top medical
men and educators presented the
case for using dogs (Which other
wise would go to the pounds gas
chamber) for experimentation.
Four children who regained
their health by the famed blue
baby operation developed at Johns
Hopkins appeared with their
parents In support of the doctors.
They were booed. too.
The Maryland chapter, Society
for Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails, led the opposition. Speakers
against the plan included Miss
Mary Butler Shearer, president OF
the Maryland SPCA; Mrs. Bennett
Champ Clark of Washington. and
Miss Irene Castle, the former
dancing star.
Opponents Are Doubtful.
Some opponents expressed doubt
Of need for experimentation on
animals, others cited what they
termed cruel experiments and
mistreatment Of dogs in medical
school kennels.
The session was one of the Bit
terest held in Baltimore in many
years.
Meanwhile, thousands of letters
pro and con continued to pour in
to the Board Of Estimates.
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro said
he has received so many that he
has not been able to dig his per-
sonal mail out of the pile since
last Thursday.
