More on Boys in Ohio

To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial of February s. entitled
THE Boys in Ohio" has been called to my
attention: and desire to point out to you
the entire fallacy of your argument about
my alleged attempt to "intimidate" the
poor. bashful and shrinking violet from
Ohio. Senator Taft
OF course. in the light of your dash to
the defense of Senator Taft. you may not
be interested in facts. However I do be-
lieve that your readers are entitled to know
the truth.
Whereas, your editorial did make it ap-
pear that I deliberately attacked Mr.. Taft
in an attempt to intimate him. the record
will show that the situation was actually
the opposite. Mr.. Taft not only tried to
intimldate me while witness before the
Senate Committee on Labor and Public
Welfare. but he used the same tactics on
every other witness before the committee
who advocated the repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act.
This modest politico, who is greatly re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Republican
Party in the last election, sitting at the
founJ Of all wisdom behind the committee
table. made it a practice. when firing
questions at witnesses. to consistently in
terrupt them before they had chance to
reply, by insisting that they give him a
yes or no. answer.
have no apology to offer to Mr.. Taft
your publication or any one else whose del
icate feelings might have been ruf1ed by
my debate with the Senator from Ohio.
AS to what meant when I said that the
boys in Ohio would take care of Mr.. Taft
at the 1850 election, after he daunted the
fact OF how many of labor's enemies are
still in Congress, was that the organized
wage earners of Ohio would do everything
in their power to defeat Mr.. Taft, because
they feel that he is not representing their
interests. but playing the game of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers. I
know that to be a fact. because I, person.
ally, heard them make such statements dur
ing the last convention of the American
Federation of Labor at Cincinnati.
The fact is that Mr.. Taft tried to intimi-
date me. The record shows that he did not
get away with it. I think that it would be
a healthy thing for popular government if
more of our citizens had an opportunity to
tell some Of the brass hats in the Congress
how the rank and file of the people feel
about vital issues. AS lifelong Repub-
licar. I might point out to you that Mr..
Taft has been nothing but a liability on
our party during the past few years, and
the sooner we get rid of him and adopt
progressive policy. the better the chances
will be for the COP to return to power.

Swhoosh!

The Air Forces new Stratoiet bonnbers,
the XB-47 and YB-49, have given a dra-
matte preview of the grim possibilities of
jet and rocket warfare. The great speed
of the Boeing swept-back- wing craft and
of the Northrop flying wing" makes that
of conventional bombers seem totally in
adequate in this era Of supersonic flight.
Six turbo-jet engines propelled the XB-47
across the continent at an average speed
of GOT miles an hour while the eight-jet
YB-49 averaged 511 miles an hour. At
such speeds they could easily outrun pro-
peller-driven fighters of the World War II
period.
It must be kept in mind, however, that
these remarkable flights across the coun-
try are portents of things to come, not
demonstrations to show that jet bombers
are ready to replace the B-29 or the B-36.
Both planes are experimental. They will
have to be subjected to rigorous tests be-
fore production types are developed.
The XB-47 is classified as light bomber.
It is designed to carry maximum bomb
load of ten tons and to have normal
combat radius of more than 300 miles"
In the fight from the West Coast to An
drews Field the bomb lifting capacity was
used to carry additional fuel for the O.
2S9-mle trip here. The weight Of bombs
carried is dependent on the amount OF
fuel needed for a mission, Thus the
longer the fight, the lighter the bomb
load But aeronautical engineers are max
ing steady progress in wrestling with the
problem of extending the bomb-carrying
capacity and range of jet-propelled bomb
ers. The xB-47 and YB-49 are proof Of
that. The strides made in this direction
since the war justify belief that eventually
Jet bornbers will be able to range as far and
carry as many bombs as today's conven-
tional heavy bombers. Until that day
comes, we will have to continue to rely
heavily on planes that have proved them
selves in combat. however outmoded they
may seem to be in comparison with such
sleek craft as the XB-47 and YB-49.

Doubts Russian Fliers
To the Editor of The Stal

To the Editor of The Star:
I'd just like to say few words about all
the ballyhoo about these two Russian de-
serters I believe that they are no more
deserters than I AM. They are here with
the full consent of Old Joe and are getting
even more of an opportunity to learn secrets
than the common Red.
Why and how does aviation have any
thing to do with Sweet Briar College which
the Russian fliers visited?
Why isn't some of this ballyhoo extended
to some Of the brave boys who are risking
their lives every day in the Berlin airlift
getting food for the Germans?
for one have no use for or faith In
the Soviet airmen. The old adage says a
leopard never changes its spots; neither do
the Russians. 4. 1.

Rent Regulation Protested

To the Editor Of The Star
It is difficult for the average American to
understand why the Federal Government
should provide subsidies for farmers and
others and advocate increases in wages for
certain groups in America and at the same
time vciously attack, strictly regulate and
hold the owners of rental property to the low
depression rents of March, 1912.
What are the economic or political issues
involved? Why has this one group Of thrifty.
decent Americans been set apart as a class to
support another class of Americans? This
certainly is not economic justice" nor the
American way provided by the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights. j. T. ERNEIS.

Church heard her dying confession and he

for her. My grandfather was member of
ST. Patrcks Church, and he gave his serv-
ices.
The brother of my mother-in-law was
private secretary to Secretary of War STAN
ton. and he worked to get stay of SEN
tence. I have heard that he promised the
people of Washington that if he were sue
cessful he would ride down Pennsylvania

on the avenue waiting for him

Rent Control Not Democratic

Rent Control Not Democratic
To the Editor of The Star:
1t is indeed heartening to see some oppo-
sition to the extension of the Rent Control
Act. The American property owner has
been pushed around long enough.
Why have these property owners, who
form the backbone of our Nation, been
singled out for Government control while
other businesses have gone unchecked? This
is both discriminatory and unconstitutional
i" and would not possibly stand up in the
Supreme Court.
In a true democratic system no one group
should be singled out for control in these
intiationary times. All prices and wages
should be controlled or none at all.
The property owner is not unpatriotic
when he demands a decent return on his
investment
Rent control has tied the hands of the
property owner till he is just some one to
pay the expenses.
Today many fine buildings are deteriorat-
ing due to lack of funds to properly main
tain them. This not only means disaster to
the owners but a step away from higher
standard of living.
1t is interesting to note that the Gov
ernment as landlord itself is failure.
When the National Capital Housing Author
ity doesn't break even on its operation and
maintenance costs. Mr.. Truman requests
deficiency appropriation from Congress for
which we the taxpayers pay.
I am sure the property owner would not
raise rents excessively, If he were given the
opportunity to operate his own business

Pipeline Project
Completed Sept. Is
Families Moving
To Newman, Ga.

All operations, relative to the
laying of the new 26-inch pipe
line in Noble county will be
completed by Sept. Is and the
several hundred members of the
crew will move on to another
location, according to an an
nouncement made today.
Headquarters officials of the
Williams Construction company
estimated that the project would
be completed within the first
two weeks of September.
Practically all the members
and their families will leave
Caldwell for Newman, Georgia,
where the company will be en-
gagged in a similar project.
The pipeliners descended on
Caldwell, July IA and since that
time, the new 26-inch pipeline
has been laid across Noble coun-
ty in a record-breaking time.
The company is completing the
project two and one-half miles
east of the Muskingum river in
that county. The companion to
the big and little inch pipeline
was laid in this sesction in a few
months, beginning east of
Woodsfield in Monroe county,
through Noble to Muskingum.
During the past two months,
the project has meant much to
the business circles of Caldwell.
