ings Of the horse and the number
of races it has won during the
previous year, and on its classifica-
tion by the United States Trotting
Association. These standards are
not final, however
II also observe the condition of
the horse" Enslen clarified Il yis-
Il the stalls and talk with the own
ers and trainers. If an owner says
his horse is a little 'gimpy' (little
lame), / check on this item when
am watching the horses on the
track. If | see anything in the
workout. which, in my opinion,
would affect the outcome of a race,
| make a note of 1t" Enslen COM
mented.
The racing secretary has wide
latitude in his manner of classify
ing and handicapping. He may
place horse with lesser winnings
and fewer races won, over another
horse with a better record If its
conditiin appears better. The Sec
retary, however, does not consider
the qualifications of the drivers in
handicapping. Furthermore, the U.
S. r. A. does not permit hin TO con-
slider the time run by the horse in
previous races in handicapping.
If Enslen doesn't have enough
horses of a class to fill a race. he
tries to fill out with the closest
lorses to this class. In Classifying
he pays no attention to the difer-
ence In tracks. In other words, just
because a horse won at Roosevelt
does not mean he will be exalted
here.
In TACT, first fight and SECOND
flight horses have chance to wiz
all purses, large or small Thir;
fight horses, however, are a slow
err class and may include first-timl
performers.
In handicapping, Enslen apple
the same standards as in classify
ing. He picks horses to win, show
and place only.
He has been racing secretar

The CIO Communists

Even the extreme opponents of COM
munism may find it little difficult to
extend unqualified Endorsement to Philip
Murray's latest effort to get rid OF Com
munist representatives on the C1O Exec
utive Board.
Mr.. Murray has been having his troubles
with the far Left for long time, and he
would deserve support In any effort to
get rid of his Communist subordinates on
the theory that they are as harmful to
the best interests of the CIO as they are
hostile to this country. But 1t is not
clear that this is what Mr.. Murray Is
trying to do.
At It's meeting here last week the Exec
utive Board demanded that the left-wing
members resign or face expulsion at the
CLOS October meeting. This demand,
however, was predicated, not on their
suspected Communist affiliation, but on
their refusal to conform to CIO policy
Mr.. Murray put it this way: "a man can
be Communist and be on the board If
he adheres to the policy of the CIO."
James B. Carey, CIO secretary y-treasurer,
offered this amplification: I'm other words.
he "a left-wing member) can be Com
munist. but he can't act like one"

What Lincoln Said
About Rebellion and Negro Soldiers

To the Editor Of The Star;
On April 10, The Star published state
ments by a colored Communist leader con-
cerning a foreign nations plans TO set up a
separate Negro nation down South
The leader said. The revolution in the
South would aid the Northern industrial
workers in bringing about revolution in the
North and hence throughout the whole
country"
On April 81. The Star published state
ments by a colored singer, 1t is unthink-
able that American Negroes would go to war
on behalf OF those who have oppressed us
for generations"
Some people remember reading what
President Lincoln said on March 26. 1868:
The colored population is the great avail
able and yet unavsiled force for restoring
the Union. The bare sight OF fifty thous-
and armed and drilled black soldiers upon
the banks OF the Mississippi would end the
rebellion at once"

Vaudeville Redivivus

II was appropriate that when vaude-
vile came back TO the Palace in New York
the orchestra ushered 1t in with There's
No Business Like Show Business" During
all the fourteen years In which variety"
was In eclipse, the tradition OF 1t stayed
alive in a big way. Thousands Of young
sters have been educated TO wish for its
return. Some of them doubtless were
skeptical Of the "build-up" it received from
the Older generation, but they were willing
TO be convinced-and they were. The
junior contingent applauded Thursday
with as much zeal as the seniors
Whoever arranged the initial program
knew his stuff" The pattern of thirty
or forty years ago was followed faithfully
in the eight acts offered. A tap dance team
led of. and the Chords who initiate pop
ular bands closed the bill Between the
two extremes there were Norman Evans
from London, doubling as Cockney with
the toothache and a dentist; Jerry Wayne,
a singer, who did not conform to the
ancient rule keep moving" but never
theleSs won generous hand; the Mar
vello trio of. illusionists, the Raya sisters
and Dolinoff dance acrobats; Lorraine
Rogman, a veteran slapstick comedienne.
and Cook and Brown, Negro rough and
tumble dancers.
Not everybody liked every turn. In the
old days the same principle prevailed.
Some performers were judged to rate "the
hook" others were called back again and
again until they collapsed from ex-
haustion. The vaudeville of the palmy
period was a family affair Actors and
spectators were brought together in a
close, intimate circle. They met as equals,
and they told each other what they
thought and felt when they warmed up"
to the right pitch. Such contact is IN
feasible in the movies and radio and tele-
vision. 1t still occurs in the circus and
maybe that is what variety is-the circus
brought indoors.
Whether the example of the Palace will
be adopted by any Washington theater
remains to be SEEN There was an era
when vaudeville had a large public here
President woodrow Wilson was It's most
distinguished fan.

james V. ForrestuI

Yesterdays shocking news conveyed a
sense of deeply personal loss to large
company of friends who had come to
know and to love Jim Forrestal for the
things he tried so hard to do. There was
one thought that somehow seemed to
soften the blow. This thought was aptly
expressed by the President when he said
that Mr.. Forrestal was as truly casualty
of war as If he had died on the firing line.
AS tragic as was his death it was no
more so than the closing months of his
public life. For more than eight crowded
years he had thrown himself unsparingly
into the fight to win the war and to
guarantee the peace. No man gave more
of himself to his country and asked for
less in return. Yet, at time when he
should have found personal satisfaction
In his own knowledge of the integrity Of
his effort he became the target of slander,
vicious rumor and shameless abuse.
And here there was a cruel irony. For
had he been more the sort of man his
critics tried to picture him as being, had
he been less scrupulous, had he held
political or other personal ambitions for
gain, he easily could have ridden with
the punches-as so many men in public
life must learn to do-and saved himself
from punishment.
But he happened to be very sensitive
and a highly conscientious man. The
blows hurt him and they left him deeply
wounded. They came on the top of the
Inevitable results of cumulative physical
and mental strain, self-imposed by
spartanlike conception of duty The crit
icism did not kill him. But in the break
down of a fine and decent mind 1t as
sumed an Importance out of all rational
relationship to source and truth
The graying, haunted little man who left
the Pentagon on the day of his relief is
not the Jim Forrestal whom his friends
remember with affection. That Jim For
sestal slipped away, quietly, before one
knew that he was gone.

Same Old Story

There is something familiar about the
furor over threatened closing of the tenn
porary dormitories for Government girls at
Arlington Farms. To old-timers in Wash
ington the situation that has developed
there Is remarkably reminiscent of the
problem which arose after World War
with respect to the Government workers
dormitories on Union Station plaza
The plaza dorrnitories, like the ones
across the river, were supposed to be tenn
porary buildings. When they were erected
1t was the general understanding that they
were to be torn down as soon after the war
rs possible. But every time a move was
made after the close of hostlities to raze
the unsightly hretraps, cries of anguish
reverberated across the plaza all the way
10 the halls of Congress. This sort of thing
went on for years, until 1t seemed that the
dormitories would remain in front of Union
Station until they fell apart. It was not,
as a matter of fact, until some of them
began to suffer from cracked walls, sagging
roofs and collapsed ceilings that the Gov
eminent mustered up enough courage to
tear the things down. The occupants who
had protested that they had no place to
20 did not camp on the streets, either.
Perhaps it is too early to begin razing
the Arlington Farms buildings. But If past
experience in these matters means any
thing, 1T will always~be too early in the
opinion of those who live there. For the
time being the girls have won their battle
against immediate custer. But they may
be expected to fight at the drop of hair
pin whenever the subject of carrying out
the law at the Farms is broached. The
law requires the razing of the tempo
raries" by next January UNLESS the Gov
ernment grants further stay. That is the
hitch which is likely to keep the dormitories
where they are for long time. The First
World War showed how difficult 1t is to get
rid of temporary" buildings-and World
War II is proving no exception to the rule.

The Commission Is on the Spot

There are circumstances surrounding
the firing of Roy E. James, career Gov
ernment employe of unusual attainments,
that have very peculiar appearance.
Indeed, the circumstances are so peculiar,
as far as they have been divulged, as to
call for a searching, nonpartisan investi-
cation of the facts.
On the basis of the facts so far uncov-
cred, with some difficulty, by The Star,
the suspicion is justified that Mr.. James
has become> the objective of some of the
most brazen political-pressure tactics
which Washington has seen in many a day.
The political pressure was applied by Rep
resentative Francis E. Walter, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, against whom Mr.. James
waged an unsuccessful campaign for Con-
gress last year. after resigning his Federal
job. Mr.. Walter, who happens to be
Democratic patronage chief for the House,
is refreshingly frank about his part in the
case. He admitted to The Star that Cd
he did not like the idea of his Republican
opponents being appointed to an $500
specialist job in the Army Department
after the election; CD that he had raised
question as to Mr.. James loyalty tas.
a result of which, incidentally, Mr.. James
was cleared for the second time of. any
suspicion of disloyalty); 90 that he had
written letter to the Civil Service Com
mission questioning Mr.. James fitness
for the CAF-14 position he held.
Representative Walter told The Star
quite candidly that his basic objection to
MIR. James is that he is Republican. 1t
is a fair assumption, therefore, that the
Democratic patronage guardian gave scant,
If any, consideration to the fact that the
Army is well satisfied with Mr.. James
work, to the fact that he has held per
manent civil service status for eighteen
years. or to the fact that he had an out
standing record with the Navy in military
government matters comparable In nature
and responsibility to those he was handling
fer the Army.
The Civil Service Commission has been
put on the spot by the disturbing revela-
tions in the James case. II 1t was as firm
in resisting political pressure in this
strange affair as 1t Is supposed to be, II
Its decision to disqualify Mr.. James was

amount TO blunt assertion Of dictatorial
purpose. They reveal that the real aim
is not TO get rid of the Communists, but
to make the Communists resign unless
they conform TO the CIO party line. That
is something that the rank-and- file within
the CIO may want TO think about. For 1t
means that once a majority decision has
been reached within the CIO no further
minority dissent will be tolerated AS
policy, that can be applied, not only TO the
Communists. but to any other minority
And this, essentially. is just as totalitarian
as anything that Stain ever dreamed of

A Few Observations
On Narrow Minds and Segregation


On Narrow Minds and Segregation
To the Editor OF The Star:
II Larry Dooley thinks segregation comes
naturally, think he Is the one who needs
schooling.
The colored people Of Washington and
other cities have their own hotels. restau-
rants and theaters They are progressive.
have ability and ingenuity II this were not
true, do you think they would have made
the progress they have since the Civil War?
We are American citizens and have a right
to enjoy the privileges of citizenship. We
do not object to the white people attending
our theaters and night clubs Any one who
frequents our night clubs knows that the
white population Is well represented.
Our aim is not to mingle with white peo-
pie but to enjoy democracy. Yes. there
will always be segregation as long as there
are narrow minded people.
