Street improvements Urged
To Make Falls Church q City

To the Editor OF The Star:
In September, 1948, Falls Church. Virginia,
became a second class city. by virtue OF
population but do not think it looks like
one It's streets are in deplorable condi-
ton.
Since last September Great Falls Street.
one OF the most travelled streets In Falls
Church. has been torn up twice to put In
pipes; each time the street is left in poorer
condition than before. It is now impossible
from Lee Highway past Little Falls Street
on foot because Of mud on the street and
sidewalk, and trench filled In with mud
covers one side Of the street, making 1t
single lane trafic to automobiles. 1t Is .
mess.
Since this street is partially torn up at
present. suggest 1t as good starting
point to putting sewers, cutters. and side
walks on all streets in the City. II this
were done. Falls Church gradually would
begin to look like a city.

Persecution Of Negroes Deplored
A. Unconstitutional Procedure

The recent stoning OF the home of q Ne

shocking thing.
What sort Of a citizens association can
they have. that calls meeting 10 see what
can be done. The Supreme Court settled
the matter last year. Furthermore the Con-
stitution states that all citizens are entitled
to equal protection under the law.
The newspaper account quoted one gentle
man as saying that II this Is the right sort
of Negro. he will move. I am quite sure
he will. Would any one feel safe in such
neighborhood with persons throwing stones
through windows setting fires and burning
crosses2 Actually the right sort OF white
people In the same neighborhood probably
will feel 4 little uneasy. OF course. We
all know the individuals responsible for
the burning Of crosses have no regard for
the rights OF others. particularly II they
happen to object to ones religion or to the
color OF ones skin.
Let us hope that we soon will have
Federal law outlawing the Khan and making
1t a punishable offense TO annoy or per
secute people. Then we viii have accom-
plished q step toward real democracy.

Red Cross Not ut Fault
At Walter Reed Hospital

II Eric B.. Roberts had the welfare OF
Negroes at heart. he would have looked into
the unselfish work the American Red Cross
has done for the colored race. At least
he could, as the Editor OF The Star did
listen to the reason why Mrs. Alice Snowden
could not be assigned to the Walter Reed
Hospital. reasons not OF the Red Cross
making.
true Grey Lady goes where she Is
needed and can be Of the most Use. She
doesn't dictate.
Perhaps the public thinks the Red Gross
only refused Mrs. Snowden a Walter Reed
assignment. but have talked with a number
OF Grey Ladies who have not been assigned
to the places they first wanted.

National Labor Court Demanded
LIN Behalf Of Victims Of Strikes


To the Editor Of The Star:
It is becoming increasingly clear that .
show down with organized labor must come
soon.
The Taft-Hartley Law must be kept rs
the law of the land and its provisions
strengthened to stop once and for all the
spiral of high prices and high wages. which
have come to such point that all OF us
are wondering how long we are going to
take our punishment lying down and how
long the country can stand 1t.
I think I am perfectly safe In saying that
the time has come to outlaw strikes Col
lective bargaining Is just and proper. but
the abuses which have come with the right
to strike, have made that right wholly
m-American. In what other walk OF lie
can q man approach his employer or busi-
ness associate. grab him by the throat and
choke him until he forces him to give him
what he demands? That Is exactly what the
wildcat and the authorized strikes do to
the ofhcials Of our great and small. busi-
nesses-
Strikes always throw thousands Of men out
Of work, often paraiyze some Of our vital
Industries. and enable the great labor lAaders
practically to dictate 70 the Government
d course to be followed entirely at variance
with the wishes of the vast majority Of
the American people.
/ am firmly in the opinion that the high
cost Of everything that affects our living
and enjoyment Of life has been caused BY
strikes directly or indirectly. and many Of
us are hard put 10 IL TO keep our heads
above water Those of Us who are living
on Fixed incomes are wondering how long

prices keeps up. before We win be eased out

Criticism Of British Conditions

To the Editor Of The star:

Criticism Of British Conditions
Brings Two Replies.
To the Editor Of The star:
Although Margaret Gregory vaunts In
telligence there are few signs OF 1t In the
last two paragraphs OF her letter published
to be incapable Of grasping the simple
truth-that the present low standard OF
living In Britain. rs compared with the
United States. is largely due to the fact
that Britain fought the war longer and
harder. and In proportion to her economic
resources. contributed more to the common
victory. The political color Of the govern
ment in Britainx has very little TO do with
the disparity. BRIToN IN AMERICA.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
Margaret Gregorys letter is In strange
contrast to a recent letter In the London
Evening Standard by the American wife
OF an English Journalist. from which !
quote. mo English housewife would put up
with the low standard Of housekeeping
INDUCED In by the average American
woman"
l lived In London during the war and /
found the average English housewife very
cordial and hard working. with all there
were very few washing machines vacuum
cleaners. etc.
OF course. Londons East End is another
thing altogether, but certainly no worse
than the poor district Of any large city In
this country: and maybe 1t is OF this part
Of London that Miss Gregory speaks.
Americans certainly look better fed and
better dressed than most English people
Americans haven't had the austertty living
of the English and rationing OF clothes for
eight years. GWENDOLINE HARMER.

A CHRISTMAS WISH

Who is the that you daily meet
AS you go your way our village street
He's your volunteer fireman
Who in the dead of the night jumps out of bed
And lights the light
He quickly scrambles into his clothes
Slips his shoes and away he goes
1t matters not if they friend or foe
When they arrive at the scene they grab the hose
The chief is the in charge of the crew
And the willing to see him through
They are off like flash at the sirens sound
And it isn't long until the flame is down.
Now listen folks Christmas is
Let's make it the happiest day of the year
So double check your candles and lights
And we won't have to you this Christmas night
Here's for happy Christmas and Fireless New Year
