Troininq Youthful Drivers

The emphasis which the Fourth Annual
Traffic Court Conference placed on traln-
ing of youthful automobile drivers is ]usti-
fed by analysis of accident figures on the
Nations highways Traffic fatality rec
ords show that. youthful drivers are
responsible for steadily increasing toll OF
deaths. tI$,
In l94e, for example, drivers between
eighteen and twenty-four years were in
volved In 24.8 per cent OF all fatal trarnc
accidents. In 1947 the percentage rose 70
25.3 and last year 1t went up 10 zos.
When it is considered that drivers In this
age group constitute less than fifth OF
all car operators, the seriousness OF the
"youth at the wheel" problem becomes
even more apparent.
This is why the National Safety Council,
the various automobile associations and
traffic authorities generally are urging
Nation wide program of driver training IN
the schools. Washington has made
small start in this direction, With Tour
cars now being used to give instruction
in the high schools. But, as Associate
superintendent OF Schools Cantrell pointed
out to the Traffic Court Conference, this
is far too few for city the size OF
Washington. He said at least sixteen
automobiles and as many instructors are
needed to give local high school students
the kind of training they need If they are
to become experienced and responsible
drivers. What other high school course
offers such dividends as driving training?
The dividends are counted In terms OF
lives saved and injuries prevented. Some
way should be found Of providing this
training at all high schools, even II 1t
means curtailing some otfer--and less
portant-instruction.

The Jewish Appeal

Every American friend OF the young
state of Israel, and all who are aware OF
what Europe's Jews have suffered, should
feel impelled, both In mind and heart. TO
give the most generous support to this
years United Jewish Appeal. For the
Appeal-which will be formally launched
on the local front tomorrow-is aimed at
attaining objectives that are humanitarian
in character and OF great historical signifi-
canoe in terms Of opening up a new era
of peace and well-being in the Middle
East
As q nationwide undertaking carried
out In behalf of the Joint Distribution
Committee, the United Palestine Appeal
and the United Service for New Ameri-
cans, the tel-year-old UJA seeks TO raise
a total of $3.50 ,000, 900 in the weeks imme-
diately ahead. This sum. though the
biggest to date In the UJA's history, Is
described as 1.-The irreducible minimum"
needed to make the most of the chal-
lenging opportunity to establish Israel on
a firm footing in ls4s and to put an end
to the last tragic phases of the sufIerings
of the Jews in Europe.
Translated into human terms, the UJA's
success will make possible many splendid
accomplishments For one thing. it will
mean that Europes Jewish Displaced
Persons camps will be emptied before the
end of the year and that new homes will
be found for the 100000 still languishing
there 1t will mean, too, that the Israeli
government in l949 will have the where
withal to cope with an influx of over
zoo, 900 immigrant Jews Further, wholly
apart from its bearing on Israel, 1t will
mean such things as much-needed help
for Jewish communities In Western Eu-
rope, measures to improve the deteriorat-
ing position of 1000 900 Jews in North
Africa, and aid for thousands Of refugees
expected to come to the United States
under a revised DIP law.
All this represents only sketchy sum-
nation of the program to be carried out
with the funds sought by the United Jewish
Appeal. On grounds both Of traditional
humanitarianism and enlightened self
interest. the Nation has every reason to
respond generously to the UJA.

To Reduce Military Waste

Waste in wartime has been accepted as
an inevitable result of the inefaciency and
confusion marking such an emergency.
That there should stin be staggering
waste" of military funds and resources In
peacetime is startling and dismaying, how
ever 1t cannot be accepted complacently
by any one concerned with the gravely
mounting costs Of national defense. Even
il one discounts the disputed cases OF care
lessness, extravaganza and duplication OF
estimates cited by former President Hoover
before the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, there are powerful arguments for
a sweeping reform in budgeting practices
at the National Military Establishment.
Although Army Secretary Royal has
challenged the accuracy of some OF the
charges made by q Hoover Commission
task force, Mr.. Hoover stands his ground,
saying that Mr. Royal was "rnisinformed."
The questioned cases were found during
study OF budget estimates for next year.
The report alleged, for example, that the
Army asked for $4,000 900 to modernize
102 tanks which 1t did not have. (The
tanks had been turned over to the Marine
Corps) Again, clerical error" caused the
Army to ask for $3s,o0o0oo for National
Guard howitzers, instead Of the $s.0O0.0oo
actually required The Air Force wanted
funds to build slO homes In Alaska at
cost of $3.50 each. And Army, Navy and
Air Force submitted construction estimates
for 1850 representing increases ranging
from TAO to ss7 per cent over this years
requests.
The Eberstadt committee concluded that
the three services either have the idea that
money and materials are inexhaustihle or
that some one else would cut their re-
ouirements." The group found evidence
that padding" was Fairly general prac-
tice." These accusations are especially dis
turbing at this time, when Congress -
considering the largest military budget
ever proposed in peacetime. Mr.. Royal
himself testified that billion dollars could
have been cut from the pending budget II
there had been more effective co-ordina-
tion of the three services. There Is good
reason to believe that there is urgent need
for better checking and integration OF
Army, Navy and Air Force budgets before

Russian Elnigres In China
In Serious Danger
To the Editor Of The Star:

IN SeFI0UA D1nkef
To the Editor Of The Star:
This week we had a most pitiful appeal
from the 1000 Russians who still are strand
ed In China. They fully realize their plight
and know that they will be the first victims
Of the Communist army when their advance
has succeeded.
These are the same Russian emigres who
have so valiantly fought communism for %
years. and who now md themselves in this
hopeless situation.
We appeal to you to use every means at
your disposal to have them brought to q
place OF safety. Their lives are in grave
peril and we believe 1t Is our duty as q
democratic nation 10 help them.

Lonely Hearts Clubs
Not All Bls meworthy
To the Editor of The Star;


Recent publicity concerning lonely hearts
clubs has not presented the complete story.
and feel impelled to point out something
on the other side.t
The risk Of running into q criminal
through such club Is no greater than that
involved in the more conventional methods
of social Introduction. Such crimes as have
lately adorned newsprint pages are not only
rare exceptions. but are due solely TO the
occasional phoney member who abuses the
unity Of q club, and not to any moral or
ethical shortcoming of the club itself. Most
such clubs are making honest efforts 70
minister to the most neglected and belittled
of basic human needs. The reason their ADS
appear only in the pulp magazinea Is because
respectable" publications are too prejudiced
to print them.
There are clubs that show marked evi-
dence of a genuine philanthropic interest
in those who seek fulfillment. without the
customary scorn and derision. They are
conducted by persons whose personal ex-
perience has conditioned them to sympa-
thize with those who share the plight OF
Schubert and Brahms.

Moreover. since loneliness figures constantly
as q cause OF crime; delinquency and mental
disease, these clubs really are helping 70
reduce the evil and not to encourage It. Tney

If there's anything can't bear. IT'S seeing

Doubts Possibility Of Compremise
With Historic Marxist Dexmas

To the Editor Of The star
"Americanism means civil liberties. in
dividual freedom. popular government and
human dignity
The American Legion Foreign Relation
Committee consider communism the great
est menace in the field Of international re-
lations now facing America" The state
ment is made by leaders OF the Communist
Party in the United States that in the
event of war with the Soviet Union they
would be loyal TO Russia rather than their
own country" Communists openly declare
that their ends can be attained only by the
forciole overthrow OF all existing social
conditions. Few Americans can study Marx
ism without attaining q measure OF Ger
tainty that we never can win over the
present rulers OF Russia to a settled peace
by friendliness and good deeds.
Russians are steadfast In support Of the
Marxist creed. Time and again Lenin.
Stain and lesser Soviet leaders have pro-
claimed the impossbility OF any lasting
live and -let-live" compromise between the
Communist and the democratic worlds.
They openly declare that their ENDS
can be attained only by the overthrow
of all existing social conditions"
There seems no simple explanation Of
Soviet policy, which Winston Churchill once
called "a riddle wrapped in mystery inside
an enigma"
1t Is doubtful whether any American who
has read the "Marxist gospel" can under
stand the uncompromising fervor OF the
Communist dedication to the anticapitalist
cause"
One hundred or more years have passed
since the Communist manifesto was issued
by Karl Marx and became the first docu-
ment Of modern Socialism: the prediction
was then made that industry would be
vested in the community: new dispensation
was hailed but the problem Of mans domi-
nation remained unsolved.'
We must realize, however, that from the
point Of view of the well-being Of men and
women. the contradiction is not between
capital and socialism" but between the
sort of organism that stimulates growth
and the sort that fastens on society the
dead hand OF bureaucratic routine or the
suckers Of sterile vested interests

DUBOIS PLAYERS
REHEARSE FOR

Monday night members of the
famed Dubois Players congre-
gated at the DuSable Commun-

to rehearse their coming pro-
gram for Sunday, May Is, to be
given at the center.
There will be several skits and
comedy acts, depicting all shades
of Negro life in it's relationship
to that of whites, Simultaneous
ly revealing the horror of slum
infested areas. The entire pro-
gram was written by Chicago's
own Langston Hughes, and
many of the poems that will be
dramatized appear in his latest
book.
For the first me, Mr.. Hughes
Infamous character, Simple, will
make his debute.
Directing was the vivacious
Miss Janice Kingslow, stage star
of Gamma Lucasta" and '"Trial By
Fire." assisting was the ever
csapable Oscar Brown, Jr., who
also directed Waiting For Lefty"
to a smash success a few weeks
ago.
Together with Miss Kingslow
and Mr.. Brown, Fred Pinkard
will appear in a skit.
Mr.. Pinkard stars in the Des-
tination Democracy program over
the airwaves. The rest of the cast
is fairly well mixed, featuring
white and colored actors, who are
constantly proving by these per
formances that democracy is not
merely a word any longer, pro-
stituted by ambitious politicians
but that it is an element which
constitutes the glory of living
in a free America.
