staff and facilities for extending the sal
wage efforts. For example, at Lorton, where
crowding of inmates poses serious disci-
plinary and morale problems, there are
only two full-time instructors. To help
meet this shortage of teachers, nine mem
bers of the reformatory staff are giving
part-time instruction to groups and shop
personnel are assisting in training inmates
assigned to the clothing factory, the print
shop and other crafts activities.
The ideal rehabilitation program would
revolve around trades training center,
where prisoners could be taught how to
use their hands and heads at gainful,
legal occupations. Lack Of funds has pre-
vented establishment of such a center at
Lorton. The next best thing is an expanded
vocational rehabilitation program OF the
limited type now in force. Experience has
shown that this would be worth while
investment in human welfare, benef1ting
not only the reclaimed individuals but
society at large.

unions should be prohibited from enforce
ment Of conditions upon groups of employers
in single industry. The status Of the
national union should be relegated to that
OF an advisory group, such as the National
Association Of Manufactures and the Associ-
alton Of American Railroads. These organ
izations have no right to make contracts for
their members, nor to set prices Labor
unions at national levels should not have
sthe right to make industry-w wide contracts
nor the right to set labor prices. To permit
them to do so is to sanction labor cartels.
Labor management relations in this coun-
try would improve If the right to bargain
upon labor contracts were restored to the
company level Labor contracts should be
based upon particular situations within each
company The relationships between en-
ployer and employe should have an impor.

forced to take less favorable terms than
would have been offered by their employers.

New York's Choice

It looks as though the voters in New
York will be able to choose this year be-
tween two unusually well qualified candi-
dates for the United States Senate.
John Foster Dulles, now serving in the
Senate on appointment from Governor
Dewey, has announced his willingness to
seek election His nomination as the Re-
publican candidate is virtually foregone
conclusion. And there is strong indication
that his Democratic opponent will be
former Governor Herbert H. Lehman.
{ If these men are the candidates, the
voters will be given an opportunity to
choose between opposing concepts on do
fnestic issues. The choice may not be as
clear cut as one might think, but Senator
Dulles, as a liberal Republican, can be
expected to oppose the more extreme items
On the Fair Deal program. while Mr..
Lehman, on the whole, probably will sup
bort the program. On international ques-
tions, they stand close together. Both Of
them, and especially Mr.. Dulles, have had
broad experience, and either could be
counted upon to advocate foreign policies
intelligently designed to serve the real
interests Of the United States
Even more important, however, is the
fact that here are two men of fine charac-
ter and outstanding ability. There is no
trace of the political hack in either Of
them, and the voters of New York will be
fortunate in the opportunity to choose
between two such distinguished citizens.

SoIvuqing Human DereIicts

Behind the educational and vocational
training programs at the Districts penal
institutions is the old doctrine that idle
hands breed mischief. BY combining in
struction in useful arts and trades with
punishment, the Department of Correc-
lions not only helps to maintain discipline
among its difficult guests" but, more i'm
portant to the public, makes it easier for
them to lead normal lives when their
debts to society have been paid.
This is the theory which justifies Donald
Clemmer's request in his annual report for
additional personnel and facilities for the
rehabilitation of prisoners at Lorton Re-
formatory. The Director of Corrections
makes no sweeping claims as to the num-
ber of additional convicts who can be
guided into lawful pursuits through a
broader and more intensive instruction
program. 'The sad fact" he admits, "is
that the sciences which deal with the
human personality have not developed to
the point where specific or successful
methods exist to cope with the problem Of
criminality."
But rehabilitation experiments at Lorton,
at the big Federal reformatory in Chilli
cothe, Ohio, and at other such institutions
have proved beyond doubt that some con-
victs can be turned into useful citizens by
Intelligent corrective methods. The trouble
here and elsewhere, according to penal
reform authorities, Is the inadequacy OF

Bright II, the sunset round the mountains

The clouds revealed a burning Cyclops eye;
And red Jaan1ingo focks toent floating by,
Voyaging over purple banded space;
Vermilion cliffs, such as Martian race
From mild pink needed nesas might
descry;;
And ruby islands drifting do,on the sky,
With capes and riuers sloaoly changing

apollo heads, and dragons, toisps OF fire
Signalling like lanterned L or J;
And flame peaks flushed like some Andedn

Art beyond canuas, grace beyond desire,
Lost In the timeless painters sky display.

Richard Strauss

When James Huneker said that Richard
Strauss was "the greatest living master of
the orchestra" he summed up the verdict
of the majority of critics. The composer
of der RoSenkavalier" and Till Eulen-
spiegels Lustige Streiche" and Elm Helden-
leben" was distinguished melodist from
any point of view Even in his attempts
to be Photographic he sought harmony,
and if he failed to achieve 1t the fault
was Natures rather than his own. He
strove to make ideas count in TOD und
verklarung," in which poet struggles not
iheffectively with death, and in his inter-
pretation of NietzscheS "Zarathustra."
The same observation applies to his
endeavor to translate Cervantes' Don
Quixote' and in his operate experiment
with Oscar Wilde's "Salonne." All these
were program" works. They are predi-
Gated on themes already known. If Strauss
did not meet the public expectation IN
them, he at least provided targets for rival
writer's to shoot at.
But nobody excelled him in the field OF
his choice His Macbeth" for example,
may not be Shakespeares, yet 1t Is
gesture-a very engaging gesture-toward
what Shakespeare might have wanted if he
had been available to consult. In the
alpine Symphony" Strauss undertook to
exploit the whole tremendous pageant OF
mountainous Switzerland. Small wonder
that he needed an ensemble of 116 instru-
ments for the first presentation! He had
tried to paint all Italy in similar manner
as far back as 1886.
A classic foundation underlay everything
produced by Strauss throughout his long
career. He could be almost as much Mozart
as Mozart was, but he was himself, too
and it was in his strictly personal role
that he irritated the critics most. Some
of them preferred that he should be an
other Wagner; others wanted him to COM
pete with Verdi or the Russians. He was
at his best when he was simplest, least
pretentious. Huneker admired his songs,
the little gems" which show his wizardry
in miniature. Dead at IS, possibly he will
be remembered longest for the most inten-
tionally popular of his achievements. They
can be played and sung without having
to be explained they require no philosophic
briefing

Recalls Newberry Case
In Relation to Threat Against Taft
To the Editor Of The Star:
Leaders Of the opposition to the re-elec-
ton Of Senator Robert A. Taft boldly an
nounce their intention to raise $4,000, 900, II
necessary, by assessing members OF organ
lied labor 50 each, which assessment must
be paid II the one assessed desires to con-
tinue the privilege-heretofore deemed an
inalienable right-to work in organized in
dustry. Under different conditions that
formerly existed A. F. Whitney Of the Broth
erhood of Trainmen announced in q fit OF
anger against President Truman that he
would expend a million from the treasury
of his brotherhood to prevent President
Truman's reelection. So the coercion dt-
rected against the exercise of official judg
ment may work either way regardless OF
politics.
What does Congress plan to do to prevent
the imposition Of this threat against the
exercise of official responsibility and judg-
ment? What will the Senate do to a man
who appears to take the oath bearing such
costly credentials? We only know what it
did in the past. The most outstanding ex-
ample was the late Senator Truman H.
Newberry Of Michigan. Among the leaders
Of the fight who mustered enough votes to
unseat Mr.. Newberry and to force his resig-
nation were Arthur H. Vandenberg, not yet
a Senator, Borah of Idaho and Norris Of
Nebraska. At Chapter 15 Page 2S2 of his
authorized biography. "Borah Of Idaho."
Claudius O. johnson, professor Of history
at the Washington State University writes
Interestingly of the Newberry case: Good
people thought he should not be sent to
the Senate"
But the amount shown to have been ex-
pended was only 5000 000-one- tenth Of what
one unit of the anti-Taft forces now threat
ems to spend. Senator Borah came out early
against Mr.. Newberry. Professor johnson
writes: "a. H. Vandenberg, later Senator
from Michigan, wrote Borah that he was
opposed to Newberry's methods in the pri-
mary, but after Newberry had been nomi-
mated he was for him in preference to Ford
He said he agreed entirely with Borah that
Newberry should be unseated."
Senator Borah wrote correspondent from
Michigan that he was for unseating New
berry because he had been the beneficiary
Of corrupt, graft election"

Horussinq the Gamblers

+. District Attorney Fay Is on sound ground
In refusing to become party to any police
methods which fail to respect the rights OF
the individual against illegal search and
seizure. Fortunately, there appears TO be
no disagreement between him and Police
Superintendent Barrett on this important
point A conference between the two
following Mr.. Fay's refusal to prosecute
several weak" gambling cases recently has
made this plain.
The meeting took place after Major
Barrett had been quoted as telling re-
porters he intended to wage warrantless
campaign of "harassment" against num-
bers writer's, despite setbacks encountered
by his men in the District Attorneys
office. This had been interpreted by some
persons as condonement by the police
head of questionable methods by gambling
SQUAD members. The cases thrown out by
prosecutors involved arrests and seizures
made without benefit of warrants and
without actual observance by police OF any
law violation by the suspects
MIR. Fay cannot be fairly criticized for
insisting on lawful law enforcement. Law
. full law enforcement guarantees all citizens
protection against illegal search and sell
cure The prosecutor says he would have
agreed to press the disputed gambling
charges If the police had been able to
produce reasonable proof that the searches
and seizures made in the suspects auto
mobiles had been conducted on probable
cause" But such testimony, he said, was
lacking. Under the circumstances, 1t would
be expecting too much Of the prosecutor to
burden a court with hearing with such
evidence evidence almost certain to be
rejected by any judge. 80
Major Barrett's "harassment" campaign,
If legally conducted, is all right as far as it
goes. The harassment, he told reporters,
"keeps gambling down and only the num-
bers writer's get hurt" But harassing the
numbers writer's, whether by legal or Illegal
means is a pretty futile way of keeping
gambling down. The little fellows on the
fringe of the racket are, as Major Barrett
says, the only ones that get hurt in such
campaign. He would do better to con-
centrate on hurting the big fellows in the
center of the ring-by intensive, intelligent
and lawful police work.

A Sigh for Shirley May

We can all spare sigh for Shirley May
France, the seventeen -year-old Massachu
sets schoolgirl whose hopes Of swimming
the English Channel got waterlogged six
vmiles from the white cliffs OF Dover. She
was the youngest Of the many who have
taken the plunge in the last few months,
certainly the prettiest and the. longest on
the beach. In fact, as the weeks wore on
and temperatures and tides continued to
be found not just right, spectators here
began to wonder if Shirley Mays mother
might not have said with her goodby kiss:
Don't 60 near the water, daughter" Any
way, Shirley May made splendid try,
which we can applaud as sincerely as the
history Of her attempt. In the good old
American tradition, she was trying to
improve the lot of her family, who live in
a very modest dwelling in Somerset. Shirley
Mays hope was that she could stroke her
way to fame and fortune and new home
for the folks, surely laudatory ambition.
When she was dragged protesting from the
chilling surf: her father, an oil-burner
salesman, wept Shirley May wept, too.
Her mother, when told the news in Massa-
chusetts, also shed tears and blamed it on
the soup that Shirley May was given early
in her swim. Her little brothers and sis
ters took 1t hard. All this is the sure
stuff Of human interest, and we can all
share in the disappointment they must
have felt.
But Shirley May should not brood over
her failure. After all, she and her father
have had pleasant summer abroad.
Shirley Mays Latin teacher, who acted as
her chaperone, doubtless accumulated all
sorts OF cultural lore which she can pass
on to her students. Shirley Mays hackers
have little cause to fret, either. She got
just as much publicity as If she had come
wading out on the right side.
Perhaps there Is something to be learned
from the example Of Fernand Dumoulin,
the Belgian industrialist, who quaffed
glass of champagne, stepped into the drink
and sedately breast-stroked his way across
Maybe only people who do 1t for fun should
swim the channel. A. for the rest Of us,

Letters to The Star
Says White Children Also
Need Better Educational Facilities


Need Better Educational Facilities
To the Editor Of The Star:
At meeting of the Board of Education in
regard to transferring the Central High
School to Division lib, the Rev. Robert w.
Brooks of the Interdenominationa Alliance,
Is said to have reminded the board that the
law requires equal educational facilities for
all children. He said that the law was being
broken.
But if DR.. Brooks knows anything about
the actual operation Of the schools Of Wash
ington he knows that white children in the
District are not getting equal educational
advantages. Some have good school build
ings: some have not. Some have good
teachers; some have better Some buildings
have principals who make no contribution to
the eouanimity of either the children or the
teachers, but we will leave them to God.
All this has nothing to do with race. And
believe 1t or not, it does not seem to have
great deal to do with the child's success
later in life.
Some schools have better books and equip
ment than Others Some children have no
Fairgrounds Many buildings are very much
over-crowded
Equality Of educational advantages is
something to work toward. but 1t has never
been realized in this town. And it certainly
is nothing to sue any one about.
Minority groups demand for every member
of the group, Immediately what the majority
groups have been working toward for years
but have never succeeded in getting for all.
They compare their lots with what the more
fortunate members of majority groups pos
sess and not with a nedian. Each Of the
group demands the very best. They never
stop to think that only very few Of the
majority have reached this goal

Says Industry Wide Bargaining
Leads to Labor Cartels
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
While the President and members Of Con-
gress are giving attention to defense against
forces of collectivism abroad, they seem TO
be unaware of a trend In this country
which is leading us down the same road.
Strange as 1t may seem, the administration
actually is encouraging this trend.
am speaking Of the monopolistic practice
of national labor unions to enforce industry
wide bargaining and Of Government sanction
that is inherent in fact-flnding procedures
1t has set up In the steel wage case. 1t
should be obvious to any one that any
practice which forces management OF any
single company or group OF companies 70
accept the same labor contract terms agreed
to by q larger company or other group
destroys the traditional right Of the employer
to bargain upon the basis OF the situation
existing In his own particular company
and his own relationship with his employees.
This is . basic right, inherent In American
tradition, which should be protected by law,
not Haunted by an administration which has
been elected to uphold individual rights.
Philip Murray has said that industry
wide bargaining is the creature Of industry,
not Of the steel workers union. But ne
.nows full well that his union has chosen
bargain first with United States Steel and
cure an agreement, which then h- to be
Tced upon other companies in the steel
ldustry. Any company which resisted the
.erms laid down by Mr.. Murray would soon
oe closed by strike.
Congress should give immediate consider
alton to new labor law which will outlaw
industry wide, union-wide, and area-wide
bargaining It should specify that labor
contracts should be negotiated between
employers and their own employees. National
