Another Way of Looking
At the Crime Figures

To the Editor of The Star:
Crime facts presented to the subcom-
mittee of Congress investigating crime in
the District of Columbia, and appearing
IN the local press may have illustrated
the need of more police. but may also
give to the uncritical thinker the view
point that crime has racial characteristics.
There is nothing surprising about this.
The same percentages in crime statistics
will prevail in all large cities in compari-
sons between minorities of low economic
and higher status. Recently Mr.. Cleni-
mer of the Department of Corrections
gave as his belief that poverty was the
greatest causative factor in stealing and
a violent, crimes accompanying theft. Mr..
Lampher, statistician of the Bureau of
Prisons, indicated that Illustrations and
insecurity were major factors in crime.
What is needed to reduce crime, reduce
costs of correction, and to make life and
property safer is a revolutionary change
OF mores. We need faster action to elimi-
nate slums and produce more habitable
homes. We need local FE.PC. to make
available jobs for Negroes of character
and training. We need schools in which
Negro boys and girls will not grow up
with the frustrating outlook of second
rate citizenship We need boys clubs
modelled after the Police Clubs of New
York and other cities where the youth of
all racial groups may play together and
learn to mutually respect each other in
stead OF growing up in distrust and
hatred.
If the subcommittee investigating crime
looks into the fundamental causes and
plans for the removal of basic causes, it
will accomplish more than by providing
for more police and greater houses of
correction.

Marylander Is Still "Perplexed"
BY High Nearby Phone Rates
To the Editor of The Star:
The article in The Star of February
8, entitled Nearby Residential Phone
Rate Topping Costs Here Explained
interested me because I am a phone
subscriber just over the District line
in Maryland In my opinion, the ex-
planation of the telephone company
does little to clarity what the article
states is "perplexing subscribers just
over the District line
Here are some of my questions:
The company states that three diff
ferent companies" are involved. Isn't
it fact that in truth three subsidiaries
of the same company are involved?

Freedom Fund" Proposed
For Miner Who Defied Lewis

freedom Fund" Proposed
For Miner Who Defied Lewis
To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial, "Mr. Lewis on Free
Men," raises two questions: % How
much longer are the people of this Ma
ton going to put up with the annual
antics of John L. Lewis? CD How much
longer are the miners to be subjected to
his tighten your belts" slogan? 49,
Your editorial has inspired a thought
that may relieve the country of Lewis
oppression, and at the same time un-
shackle the miners. II propose the crea-
ton of a Joseph Dickmon Freedom
Fund. AS starter, inclose check for
my own contribution.
The fund should be used on behalf of
this Joseph Dickmon, the miner and
Navy veteran who dared call Lewis "a
dictator" AS result of this, and his
proposal that the miners work five
day week. Dickmon has been suspended
by the union for six months and thereby
denied the right to earn living at his
trade for that period.
In your editorial. you say that John L.
Lewis fuses his power not only to crush
opposition within the union, but in an
attempt to impose his will on the people
of the United States"
Lewis will fail in that attempt. Mr..
Editor, because the people cannot afford
to let him win, cannot even afford a
compromise to save his .well-nourished
face. But what of Dickmon? The local
union vote against him is impressive as
to the actual figures, but is it not likely
that there are many others who feel the
same way, but lacked Dickmon's cour-
age? They need encouragement. Re-
garding Dickmon himself, do not all of
us owe him much for laying it on the
line, with the resultant demonstration of
the dictatorship within the union? En-
phatically, we do; hence the proposal for
Joseph Dickmon Freedom Fund.
Such fund will make it easier for
others to make the break, to take the
step that many others undoubtedly
yearn to take.

Lenin Was Nobody's Fool
But What About Us?

To the Editor of The Star:
Ostensibly Lenin was nobody's fool
when he said, Germany will arm her
self out of existence, the British Empire
will expand itself out of existence-and
the United States will loan itself out of
existence"
The first two predictions have already
come true. The third will too, obviously,
at the rate the Truman administration
is loaning and spending.

Fixtures

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
non-segregated swimming pools in
Washington are here to stay ac-
cording to Edward j. Kelly, sup
erintendent of the National Park
Service of the Department of the
Interior.
In a letter of Elmer w. Hender-
son, director of the American
Council on Human Rights, Super
intendent Kelly expressed salts
faction with the operation of the
pools during the past season. There
was no disorders of any kind said
Mr.. Kelly and "in fact, l do not
recollect any previous year when
order at the pools has been better
than during the past summer" he
added.
The swimming pool situation in
the District Of Columbia was
kept in the limelight for more
than a year because of the dis
pute between the District Recrea-
ton board and the Department of
Interior over whether they should
be opened on a non-segregated ba-
sis.
The interior finally won out
and the pools closed their first full

that $4,000 persons used the
