War. Thousands of American working
men and working women hated the Kaiser
but were opposed to the United States
being involved in the struggle to defeat
him. Mr.. Gompers at a tensely psyche
logical moment chose the patriotic course.
With all the ardor of his soul he threw
himself into campaign for national unity
in the face of popular pacifsm. He
toured the country speaking at meetings,
talking privately with local officers, argu-
ing with stubborn critics. The effort was
strenuous, but it was continued as long
as there was need for it. His part in
achieving victory in 1918 is one reason why
the Government is bringing out COM
memorative postage stamp for Mr.. Gompers
on his hundredth birthday anniversary.

Lost Years Lynchinqs

The report OF the IuSkegee 1nSCltuIe
lists three lynchings in 1949. This seems
to suggest loss of ground in the fight
against this racial crime, since there were
but two lynchings reported in 1948 and
only one in 1947. There are other factors,
however which bolster the hope that en-
lightened forces in the South are making
progress in their determined efforts to ex-
tend to the Negro the same legal protection
that is enjoyed by the white man.
For one thing, the I949 Tuskegee report
is open to some question. One of the Of
fenses reported was unquestionably a
lynching. An Irwinton, Ca, Negro was
arrested on charge of disturbing the
peace While in the custody of the arrest
ing authorities he was taken from Jail by
q mob and beaten to death. This clearly
was a lynching within the commonly ac-
cepted meaning of the term.
There is room for doubt as to the classi-
fication of the two other offenses. In one
case Negro tenant farmer in Georgia was
driving along a road in his wagon. Sew
eral white men in an automobile were
unable to pass the wagon and, it is re-
ported, accused the Negro of "hogging the
road" They dragged the farmer from his
wagon and killed him. The other killing
also occurred in Georgia. A Negro farmer
objected to white men fishing in his pond
without first obtaining permission Later,
wounds in his body.
In both of these cases, a wanton crime
was committed. But their classification as
1ynchings is open to Question. Had they
occurred anywhere except in the South
they would have been listed as murders,
not as lynchings These victims were not
taken from jail or from the custody Of
police officials. There is no conclusive
evidence in either case of the premeditated
and organized mob action usually asso-
ciated with lynchings. Had the victims
been white men, they might have been
beaten but probably would not have been
killed. This, however, is not certain basis
for listing the crimes as lynchings rather
than murders.
More important is the fact that in four
teen instances during the year attempted
lynchings were frustrated In one case the
intended victim escaped by his own efforts.
But in thirteen others the would-be lynch
ers were turned back by the police officials.
This certainly is evidence of progress in
the South. A few decades ago the police
more often than not were apt to be indif-
ferent to lynchings, If not active members
of the lynch mob. But in 1p4s, in thirteen
out of fifteen instances, they protected
their prisoners from the lynchers. This is
a fact that will be ininimiYed by the politi-
cally- minded advocates Of Federal anti

No Witch Hunt

Those who feared that the Federal en-
ploye loyalty program would result in a
wave of witch-hunting hysteria may relax.
The bulk of the investigation work has
been completed and so far the only
hysteria evident has been that which
some opponents tried to whip up in oppo-
sition to the program at its outset.
The results of the program to date, as
announced by FBI Director Hoover, show
the absurdity of the fanciful predictions
made by those who professed to fear a
wave of terrorism of Gestapo-like mani
festations There have been no wholesale
dismissals, no pillorying of defenseless in
nocents, no disruption of employees eff
cheney or morale. On the contrary, the
enormous task of making 2713,537 inquiries
has been done, quietly and effectively, with
careful attention to the constitutional
rights of the workers and equally careful
attention to the, security of the. Govern
ment Out of all those investigations
only a fraction of l per cent of civil
service workers failed to measure up to
the loyalty standards set for a Federal
servant. Mr.. Hoover says that 996 per
cent of all persons checked were found
to be loyal. The great majority of en-
ployes were cleared with only a prelim-
mary inquiry. Only 1,403 full field in
vestigations were deemed necessary and
many of these exhaustive inquiries eventu-
ally resulted in the clearing away of doubts
as to the workers faithfulness
1t is important to remember that in none
OF the cases in which disloyalty was indi-
Gated did the FBI render a verdict one
way or the other It's policy in all cases
Is to present its evidence to the depart
mental loyalty boards, leaving to the
boards the responsibility of judging, on
the facts, whether an employe should be
retained or discharged. In all cases the
employe was given an opportunity to
answer the charges and to appeal to the
Civil Service Loyalty Review Board
The record explains why there has been
growing confidence in the loyalty program,
a confidence strengthened by the knowl-
edge that the FBI has evidenced deter
mination to be as diligent in determining
the innocence of suspected employe as
IN establishing his guilt. There is need for
continuation of the program to screen all
new additions to the Government payroll.
Congress would be wise to support this
security undertaking with the requisite
funds to insure that it will be carried out
as effectively in the future as in the past.

Advocates Strictcr Limitation
OF Activities of Dogs In Montgomery

OF Activities of Dogs in Montgomery
To the Editor OF The Star
The unusually large number of recent dog
bite cases leads me to protest against lifting
the dog quarantine restrictions now in force
in Montgomery County.
In the past two months have given nine
children-two of them mere infants-each
series of 81 daily rabies innoculations as a
result of rabid dog bites. OF these children
three are bearing permanent scars from
facial lacerations.
INTENDED dogs. some undoubtedly aban-
doned. are seen day and night in the Four
Corners area, in which nearly all of these
cases occurred. At night I have seen dog
packs. numbering as many as 10. running
wild in this part of Silver Spring, even now
while quarantine is imposed but obviously
not enforced.
1t is a common thing to be awakened at
all hours of the night by bowling dogs. To
eliminate this nuisance it is necessary only
to keep dogs indoors at night and to make
it unlawful to abandon dogs.
To those who would object to these re-
strictions as representing cruelty to dogs,
would say: Please consider what your feel
ings would be if child of yours were bitten
and perhaps developed rabies? I can assure
them that no child enjoys having his wounds
cauterized or the daily injections of vaccine
for 81 days administered.
I firmly believe that the present restric-
tions should be kept in force at all times
that there always should be compulsory vac
cination of dogs; that dogs should be kept
indoors at night; and that no dog should be
abandoned to become stray.

Broader Questions Involved

AltnOugh the civil AerOnautlcS AdmlnlS-
tration in effect has placed full RESPONSE
bility for last November's disaster at
National Airport on the Bolivian pilot of
a P-38 fighter plane, the public should not
lose sight of the fact that the CAA findings
touch only one phase of the worlds worst
aviation accident. There are broader ques-
tions to be considered beyond the flying
competency of Captain Eric Rios Bridoux,
questions concerning general flight condi-
tions, tower operations and adequacy of
regulations and equipment. These broader
questions are under study by an independ-
ent agency, the Civil Aeronautics Board
Until this board completes its exhaustive
Investigations and announces it's findings
1t would be premature to attempt any final
judgment in the case.
The CAA's charges against Captain
Bridoux are grave indeed-so grave that
he may be expected to take full advantage
Of the opportunity which he will be
afforded to answer them at a hearing
before the CAB. Captain Bridoux, who is
Bolivian director of civil aviation, already
has denied culpability for the crash. The
bill of particulars cited by the CAA is so
damaging as to require categorical refuta-
ton. The CAA found that the P-3S was
not properly licensed, that Captain Bridoux
failed to conform to the prescribed traffic
pattern at National Airport, that he failed
to alter his course as instructed and that
he otherwise operated his plane in "a
careless and reckless manner"
The CAB has the responsibility of inquir-
ing into many additional aspects of the
catastrophe, including the adequacy and
clarity of instructions given by the airport
tower, which is operated by the CAA The
broader parts of the study properly concern
both personnel and equipment controlling
air traffic, regulations governing use of
the airport and any other conditions which
might have contributed to the destruction
of the Eastern Air Lines DC-4 and it's fifty
flve occupants. As result of the accident
the CAA already has revised it's regulations
so as to prohibit fighter craft from using
the airport for testing or any other pur-
poses. The CAB may find still other restric-
tions are necessary to avert, similar dis
asters in the future. Certainly there are
more lessons to be learned from the No
vember l crash than the necessity of
checking carefully on the qualifications of
pilots permitted to use the National Air
port.

Gompers Centennial

The actual one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of Samuel Gompers will not
occur until January q, but the centennial
celebration already is well under way. This
interests organized workers especially, yet
it by no means is limited to them The
great American Federation of Labor presi-
dent was national figure in the full sense
of the phrase and even now, though he has
been dead more than a quarter century,
his influence still is felt throughout the
Nation.
Mr.. Gompers himself appreciated his
place in the history of his times. Washing
tonians remember him not simply as the
head OF the A. F. of L., but also as
publicist, social philosopher, with ideas
and opinions on everything under the sun.
The little Dutch Jewish immigrant boy of
1868 grew to maturity in a world rapidly
developing new issues, new conflicts, which
claimed his attention and which he rarely,
if ever, attempted to avoid. Throughout
his career. he kept his mind and his heart
open to what was going on about him. He
was exceptionally sensitive to economic,
social and political developments, but he
likewise was receptive to happenings in
such distant fields as music and literature,
drama and painting. The major enthu-
siasm Of his life, however, was the cause
of solidarity among working people A
cobbler and then cigar maker, he realized
that the individual laborer or craftsman
was handicapped by his individuality. In
order to bargain successfully at all it was
necessary to bargain collectively. So Mr..
Gompers applied himself to the task Of
discovering competent union leadership
wherever 1t could be found, and he set q
personal example for the young lieuten-
ants he discovered. Thus the American
Federation of Labor became reflection
of hts conceptions, his methods, his OBJ
jectives.
Perhaps the most important test of his
whole life was that which emerged with
Americas participation in the FiAet World

Says REA, Unlike Health Insurance,
Is Not Compulsory


To the Editor Of The Star:
Lowell Mellett. in The Star for January 5,
attempts to draw parallel between the Tru-
man advocated compulsory health insurance
plan and the REA program. Such parallel
is impossible and here are few of the rea-
sons why:
The REA farm electriication program is
not supported by compulsory taxes deducted
from payroll Compulsory health insurance
requires compulsory payroll deducted taxes
for its support.
Although the electric power lines may pass
right by his door and service be readily avail
able, the farmer Is not compelled to purchase
the electricity. He may prefer to continue to
operate his farm under his present methods.
One must bear in mind that only in the re-
motest areas are primitive methods employed
on farms today. Bottled gas took the oil
lamps and wood burning stoves out of farm
homes years ago. Gasoline motors have very
efficiently pumped water and run farm ma
chinery for many years Many farms are
operated on individual generator systems.
installed by the farmers, efficiently generat-
ing all the electricity they may need.
Compulsory health insurance is entirely
compulsory. One has not the choice to sub
scribe or not. Even though entirely satisfied
with his present medical care, the individual
is to be compelled to pay taxes to sup
port Government-controlled medicine even
though he may prefer to subscribe to one Of
the voluntary health insurance programs.
The extensive electrincation program of
the REA is supported by Government funds.
However. the power companies that supply
the electricity decide what rate shall be
charged. Compulsory health insurance gives
the Government the right to say exactly how
much physicians may be paid for their serv-
ices. The physicians have no say in the
matter.
Furthermore it is completely impossible
to compare service as personal as that given
by physician with any commodity purchas-
able by the pound. the ton or the kilowatt

@. How much greater were Federal Gov
ernment expenditures than receipts during
the last fiscal year?-M. j. F.
A. On July l. 1949. the Secretary of the
Treasury announced that expenditures of the
United States Government exceeded RECEIPTS
by 81 BIZ 000, 900 during the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1949 This deficit takes into account
expenditures of $30o0.00o,o00 which were
charged against the Foreign Economic CO.
operation Trust Fund. These expenditures
referred to actual money expended during
the fiscal year.
@. Is green easier on the eyes than other
colors?-V. w.
A. Authorities are of the opinion that
green is no easier on the eyes than grays or
many other colors. However, colors have
psychological powers and the attributes OF
green have largely arisen from its prominence
in the natural landscape.
