Defends Port Tobacco
Against Uncomplimentary Reference
To the Editor Of The star:
am writing in regard to an article, titled
La Plata and Port Tobacco" by Stanley
Baitz, published In The Sunday Star on
October 80.
The article was interesting with the ex-
ception Of two lines that were anything but
complimentary to the residents OF Port To-
bacco. The lines refer to are: "Over at
Port Tobacco a passing car is rarity. A
few raMshackle houses and post Office still
stand, but not much else"
Is 1t possible that Mr. Baitz has faulty
eyesight?
My husband, two-year-old son and I
moved here to Port Tobacco from the Dis
trict Of Columbia eight months ago to make
our home. We have new house (coSt1ng
well over 10000 to build) and consider it
anything but 'ramshackle."
feel that the description of the houses
here In the valley was most offensive and l.,
for one, am still disturbed about It. AS for
a passing car being rarity, that is most
amusing. # we had so little traffic on the
road we could have saved ourselves effort
and expense by not erecting fence to keep
our son safe from passing autos.
Mr.. Baitz should spend another afternoon
in Port Tobacco and get good look at our
very historic little community

Truman Administration Welfare Proposals
Held To Reflect Communist Ideas
To the Editor Of the Star:
"A foe to God was never true friend to
man"
The history Of the United States Of
America is q record Of achievement, &C.
complished by a people who believe in In
dividual effort and democratic pkinciples.
But in the present period of our history new
and strange ideas relative to government
sway the minds Of many people Of many
other nations, and even in our country po-
litical thought is disturbed and conservative
democratic methods appear to be threatened.
The impression is prevalent that the pres
ent administration is following the Com
munist TRAIL" and that the new proposals
Of President Truman involve clear danger
to human liberty" I quote. For the first
political victories are being won by those
who demand that the individual subordinate
himself to the all powerful central govern
ment as the only way to get increased ma
terial welfare" That philosophy prevails
today over the third Of the human race
that Communists rule. 1T Is to q consider

present Democratic administration In Wash

Union 'Bosses" and Deasocrstie Politicians
Accused Of 'New Low"
To the Editor Of The Star:
AS far as am concerned. tho CTO is
creature spawned by fhe New Deal-a
political Frankenstein monster. There Is
nothing bipartisan about 1t. It was
created exclusively for the purpose Of serv-
ing the Democratic Party.
It Is obvious to me that the use Of the
Taft Hartley Act as q political issue hits
q new low. II the politicians and labor
bosses really were sincere as to the un-
fairness Of this law they had ample op-
portunity to have 1t amended during the
last session Of Congress. Instead, they
chose to play politics with it as they did
last November.
The goal Of the bosses is plain. Their
object is to smash the Republican Party,
so that they can perpetuate the dynasty Of
the Raw Deal now masquerading as the
Fair Deal.
Senator Robert Taft is the main obstacle
in their path. Thus they have marked
him for political elimination. That's their
