1t Should Be Defeated

Coming up for vote in the Senate
tomorrow is a proposed substitute for the
margarine tax repeal bill that is so lack
ing in merit as to deserve complete and
unequivocal rejection by the lawmakers.
This last ditch compromise" by the bitter
end opponents of a fair deal for oleo is
known as the Wiley-Gillette amendment.
Masquerading under the favorable ap-
pearance of tax-repeal measure, this
carefully -thought-up amendment never
theless would hamstring the margarine
industry almost as effectively and unfairly
as the present punitive taxes on the but
ter substitute. It would make it Federal
offense to transport yellow margarine in
interstate commerce. Such a prohibition
could be justified, morally at least, only
on the ground that yellow margarine is
a dangerous product which should be
barred from crossing State boundary lines
in the interest of public safety. It is on
such thesis that the Federal Govern
ment has outlawed the movement in in
terstate commerce of harmful drugs, dis
eaSed livestock, fraudulent mail and so on.
But even the most extravagant charges
against margarine have not included any
serious allegation that the nutritious
vegetable compound is dangerous to health
or is menace to public safety. On the
contrary, a mass of convincing evidence
has been produced to show that it is fully
as nourishing and tasty as the finest dairy
butter. The only interest that would be
hurt by the free competition of margarine
for public favor is that of the butter in
dustry-and there is reason to doubt that
the effect of this free competition would
be as adverse to butter as has been repre-
sented by the anti-margarine forces.
Whatever the effect on the butter indus
try, there is no justification for setting up
an interstate commerce ban designed to
protect manufacturers of one good food
product from fair market competition py
producers of an equally good food product.
The Wiley Gillette amendment should be
roundly defeated, preliminary to repeal of
all Federal taxes restricting the manufac-
ture and sale of margarine, whether trans
portedin interstate commerce or not.

Life on Other Worlds

DR.. Carl F. Won Weizacker of the Uni
versity of Chicago is by no means the
first man of science to wonder whether
other worlds than ours may be inhabited.
That idea has been traced back to the
margin Of recorded history and has been
discussed by some of the brainiest indi-
viduals who ever have lived
The view set forth by DR.. Won Weizacker
Is summarized in the words: Billions upon
billions of stars found in the heavens may
each have their own planets revolving
about them" Whole clouds of asteroids
circulate round the sun between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter. 1t is not beyond the
power of human Imagination to picture
one or one hundred or one thousand or
even one million of those minor planets
having plant and animal life not dis
similar to the earth'S.
DR.. H. Spencer Jones, Astronomer Royal,
explains in his book, Life on Other
Worlds" that much depends upon our
definition of life and our comprehension
of the fact that everything about us is
the result of processes of change begin
ming millenniums ago and still continuing.
Such changes, he says, are possible only
where conditions permit them to occur.
But conditions are mutable, too. This in
terrelation is basic in any reasonable study
of the overall problem. Life, we must
concede, might exist in forms unfamiliar
to us. DR.. Jones writes:
1t is conceivable :. that we could have
beings, the cells of whose bodies contained
silicon, instead of the carbon which Is an
essential constituent of our cells and of all
other living cells on the earth; and that
because OF this essential difference be-
tween the constitution of those cells and
the cells of which animal and plant life
on the earth are built up, they might be
able to exist at temperatures so high that
no terrestrial types of life could survive
Otherwise expressed, we have here the
proposition that life could be possible on
a world much hotter and drier than ours
Venus, for example, might be tolerable of
life of some sort, perhaps vastly at vari-
ance with life as we know it. Observation
of this solar satellite suggests that it has an
atmosphere, but neither oxygen nor water
vapor has been detected in analysis of
light reflected from Venus to the earth.
The question. then, is: Could life exist on
Venus under conditions radically different
from those of our planet? II the answer
is yes, then we must imagine life feasible
of surviving in temperature as high as,

Lioht on Trunsit Problems

The District Public Utilities Commission
has taken wise step in ordering public
hearings on the application of the Capital
Transit Company for an emergency in
crease in fares. While there is no reason
to question the company's assertion that
prompt financial relief is urgently needed,
there has been no showing that the crisis
is a sudden one, requiring overnight action
to prevent collapse of the transit system.
On the contrary, the plight of the COM
pany has been continuing one over many
months with the recent wage award only
accentuating the dire situation.
Because there appears to be widespread
opposition to another fare increase, there
is need for hearing to enlighten the
public on the financial problems which
beset the company The public needs
enlightenment on a number of aspects of
the situation that are beyond the control
of Capital Transit. That is why the pro-
posal for joint hearings at the Capitol on
Washingtons transportation problems is a
timely one.
One of the factors which contribute to
the present financial difficulties of the
is the unfair requirement, under special
act of Congress, that school children must
be transported at three-cent rate-far
below the cost of the service No other
major city in the country imposes so low
a school rate on private transit system.
Most school fares are at least five cents,
others are on half-fare basis that means
even higher rates. If the Capital Transit
Company were rolling in wealth the alb
surdly low fare for school children might
be defensible. With the company facing
grave deficits, however, it is high time
that Congress raised the school fare to
more reasonable level.
After ALL the special fare for school
children is subsidy which, desirable
though 1t may be, is properly chargeable
to government rather than private indus
try This question and that of whether
Capital Transit can continue to operate
without subsidies of one sort or another
are in need of immediate study by
Congress.

Cites Four Issues On Which
He Has Been Thinking-In Vain


To the Editor of The Star:
Nearly every day the people are exhorted
to take part in the affairs of Government
National affairs, foreign affairs, local affairs,
this and that should all be understood"
Well, the writer has tried just that and
after reaching state of confusion which
would tickle the palate of psychiatrist has
finally consigned the whole mess of pottage
to the lower reaches.
Lest others be interested, perhaps the
listing of some of the subjects on which no
conclusions have been reached may provide
more fruitful thinking:
l. How does one resolve the situation
whereby we are asked to pay taxes to sup
port food prices so that we can pay more for
food?
2. How come the Government attacks
food corporation for allegedly raising the
cost OF food in instances and we see pictures
OF huge mountains of potatoes being plowed
under and caves crammed full of food sitting
1t out?
3. How come we spent millions in China
to prevent the spread of communism" and
as soon as 1t arrives England latches on
pronto?
4. The coal strike. Let's see . the Chief
Executive is charged with seeing the laws
are carried out mmmm i. mmm there
is law to be carried out d. . . mmmmm

BY THE HAsKIN SERVICE.

O. When did the Federal Government
have the highest number Of employees in
recent years? How many were there in
1933?-C. H. S.
A. The peak of Federal employment for
the entire United States and outside the
continental United States was reached in
June, 1945. At that time there were $780,
646 employees. The peak of Federal en-
ployment for the continental United States
was reached in June, 1943 at which time
there were 3,002,453 employees. In Janu-
ary. 1888, there was total of 5e7,177 en-
ployes.
O. Did Andrew Jackson have any BROTH
ers?-C. B. B.
A. Andrew Jackson had two brothers,
Hugh and Robert.V Hugh the eldest was
killed in l779. Andrew and his brother Rob.
ert. both young boys, took part in the Revolu-
tionary War, were captured by the British
and thrown into prison. Robert died of
SMALLPOX contracted there Mrs. Jackson ef-
fected their release and devoted herself to
nursing the sick in the hospitals. She died
OF prison fever in 1871 and at IA years of
age Andrew was alone in the world.
@. What is the origin of the term cor
oner?-C. M. Y
A. Originally a coroner in England was
an ottlcer called custos placitorum coronae
because he kept a record of the pleas of
the corwn in county and guarded the
revenue arising from them. BY gradual
change OF function. he came to be an officer
whose principal duty was to inquire through
an inquest held in the presence of jury
into the cause of a death when there was
reason to suppose 1t was from an unnatural
cause.
@. What was the name OF the Roman
temple. the doors of which were closed in
time Of peace?-J. B. J..
A. The temple of the national Janus, one
OF the principal Roman gods The doors of
this bronze shrine faced east and west. stood
open in time of war, and were closed in time
OF peace. Livy records that from the time
OF Numa the shrine had been closed onlv
once. Augustus mentions that it had been
thrice closed in his reign.

Labor MonopoIies

It is unlikely that anything will be done
at this time about the abuses of monopoly
power by John L. Lewis which have been
exposed by Senator Robertson of Virginia.
Nevertheless, Senator Robertson's report,
dustry and the operations within it of the
United Mine Workers, serves a useful
purpose.
Senator Robertson concludes that the
objective of the three-day workweek is to
stabilize" the industry and is, therefore,
not proper union activity. Among the
actual results of this stabilization process,
according to the report, are curtailed pro-
duction, higher prices to consumers, injury
to small business enterprises, possible ruin
of the smaller mining operations and
hardship for the miners themselves In
short, Mr. Lewis, even If one grants his
good intentions, is exercising a power
which no private citizen ought to have,
and Is attempting an alteration of sec
ton of our economy which, If desirable at
ALL should be undertaken by Congress.
If this were being done by the coal
operators, or any one of them it would
be fagrant violation of the antitrust
laws, and the offenders would Immediately
find themselves in trouble with the appro-
pirate authorities labor union, how
ever, stands on different footing Con-
gress extended certain immunities to
unions in the Clayton Act and the Norris
La Guardia Act These immunities have
been made almost absolute by Supreme
Court decisions which smack of a labor
can-do-no-w wrong philosophy
The situation is one which cannot be
reached effectively through the Taft
Hartley Act, or any other statute. If Mr.
Lewis pursues his three -day-week tactic to
the point where a genuine national emer-
gency results, temporary relief might be
obtained through resort to the injunctive
processes of the labor law. But there is
no assurance in this of permanent relief,
and, in any event, the Taft-Hartley law
contains nothing which could be used to
protect the coal industry and related seq
ments of the economy from the evil con-
sequences of Mr. Lewis abuse of monopoly
power.
So Senator Robertson suggests that the
best remedy, and perhaps the only rem
edy. lies with amendment of the anti
trust laws to strip unions of their i'm
munity when their monopoly power is en-
ployed to pursue illegitimate objectives
This, of course, would mean objectives
that are Incompatible with the public
interest.
For political reasons, Congress is not
likely to do this unless conditions get
worse than they are now. There is no other
reason, however, why the proposed change
in the laws should not be undertaken.
It is doubtful that any of the considera-
tions which prompted Congress to grant
unions privileged status still exist. And
there certainly is no reason why strong
union should be permitted to use its
monopoly of labor to the detriment of
the rational interest. II 1t does nothing

alike would have to redefine life in terms

characteristics of our age-namely, that

subtracts from, our human complexity

Ewing, non-medical man, whose present
New Deal assignment is considered merely
stepping stone to a more ambitious po-
litical career.
Mr.. Ewing's recent European campaign
already has suffered disrepute by the an
nouncement of group of distinguished
British physicians including the Kings own
private physician 1t was their opinion
that Mr.. EWing's reports sent back to
America were not factual and that he failed
to consult the rank and file of British doc

Private Insurance Now in Effect.
One fails to see the logic in inefficient,
freedom sacrificing, compulsory health in
surance when already 10000, 900 people are
enjoying the benefits of successfully
operated. voluntary health plans Why sac
rif1ce good system of private insurance,
sanctioned and encouraged by organized
medicine, for an involuntary system, unsuc-
cessful elsewhere, which is opposed by Or
ganized medicine?
1t appears to me that in the Presidents
recent message on the state of the Union"
he deliberately omitted any positive state
ment for compulsory health insurance. On
two or three previous occasions he has been
uncompromising in his insistance on the
passage of the Wagner Murray -Dingell BILL
The public should not only thank the
A. M. A. and all other progressive men of
medical science for the high standard of
American health, but they should also thank
them for their positive stand against politi-
cal medicine and informing the public of
the dangers of the present administrators

Grated since 1912 or earlier?
I moved into my present apartment in
Washington in the summer Of 1912, at which
time it was completely repainted-b but never
since. except for what we have done our
selves. If this seems shocking, please note
that our apartment was the last one in the
house to receive such attention from the
landlord. During the war we inquired of
the local Rent Control Office if we could
require our landlord to redecorate our apart
ment. We were informed that they could
force the landlord only If it was question

Tells About Southern Trees
To Be Seen in Washington

George Kennedy's interesting article
about his trailer trip to Florida in which
there are descriptions of the live oaks of
South Carolina. the "sick palms" within
the same State and finally the healthy
palms" Of Savannah, Ca, merits an obser-
vation Of my own, to wit:
For those Washingtonians who are unable
to make similar excursion to the deep
Southlands the exotic products of nature
mentioned in Mr.. Kennedy's article may be
observed, in a more or less natural state of
growth. as follows:
The live oaks: A magnificent specimen of
the Southern live oak grows in the very
shadow Of the Washington Monument sew
eral hundred yards South of the Sylvan
Amphitheater.
The sick palms: A number of palms of
the Saw Palmetto variety may be observed
growing the year round in the unprotected
outdoor yards at the Botanic Garden.
And finally. the healthy palms: Some OF
these may be found in all their natural
splendor within the glass walls of the
Botanic Garden itself. j. HILL.
