Justice in iran

read your editorial about the journey
and experiences Of Justice Douglas. I
do not see why you should get so hot
and bothered over what he says in Iran.
He Is free citizen, is he not? Why
should he not say what he pleases?
In regard to your thought that he is
leaving Ill will there, the question that
arises in my mind is whether all those
who are so disturbed about his remarks
are representative of the Iranian people
in general. or just the big landowners?
Naturally they would bitterly object to
anything he would say in favor of land
reform for the peasants.
If our State Department would take
more interest in internal reforms in
countries like Iran, instead of thinking
that the way to fight communism is
to keep things as they are in these
countries through repressive force of
arms, I think our Government would
get lot farther on in this matter of
stopping communism.
Since when, anyhow, has it become
distasteful for Americans to champion
the underdog? thought that was part

Give Where You Work

It would be very helpful to the success
Of the 1851 Red Feather Campaign If you
permitted me to outline our plans to reach
every prospective donor in the National
Capital area.
The overwhelming number Of such
donors are gainfully employed either in
business or Government. Therefore, the
paramount objective of our campaign
organization will be to reach them at
their places of work.
To reach this objective, the emphasis
will be placed on giving at work. This
is the most practical and economical plan
because 525, 1000 prospective contributors
can thus be reached at the some 25 900
places OF work in the National Capital
area. In no other way can we get COM
plete coverage of prospective donors.
The solicitation of these gainfully en-
ployed at their places of work will be
carried out through the Business-Em
ployes' Units Of each Chest region and
the Government Unit. OF the $4,26O, 900
goal. this general solicitation program has
a quota of $3,810,000.

will be sought from prospective donors
other than those at work. Special solicit
tation units will undertake an approach
to homes to present the Community
Chest appeal to this group.
However, this special solicitation pro-
gram will not be organized to carry out
complete coverage of the $4,000 homes
in the National Capital area of 1000
square miles It is an impractical matter
to do so. Some Chest regions will carry
out more extensive coverage Of homes
than others to seek non employed donors.
Among these are Alexandria, Arlington
and Fairfax which plan extensive cover
age. Montgomery. Prince Georges and
Washington are limiting extensive cover
age to a few sections only. The balance
OF such solicitations will be on a specific
card basis only. The majority of the
National Capital area homes will not be
solicited at all.
In our campaign plan. the emphasis on
giving at work is necessary for success.
Last year more than 100000 employed
persons were missed largely because en-
ployerS and employees believed each and
every one of the 100000 homes of the
National Capital area would be solicited.
This has never been the case, nor will
it be the case this year.
Solicitation at work with the complete
coverage of business firms and Govern
ment departments is the only way by
which we shall be able to reach every
gainfully employed person.

General Chairman,
1851 Red Feather Campaign.

Latest casualty figures for the Korean war
give grim evidence of the important role still
played by the foot soldier in modern warfare
The victory could not have been won, of course,
without the ships and planes of the Navy, the
strategic and tactical airpower of the Air Force
and the amphibous teamwork of the Marine

got the brunt of the Red attack.

with him. He has the knack, according
to his subordinates. of instilling efficiency
into an organization without producing
an atmosphere of tenseness He retains
the easy-going personal. approach of his
Scarsdale days. Above ALL he gets things
done.
He has a rule at ECA that all the
organizations bills must be paid within
"a hours of the time they are received.
Gle said the Government was getting a
bad name because it was keeping its cred
itors waiting) Cables having to do with
ECA's worldwide business receive SINH
lar speedy attention-or Mr.. Foster must
know the reason why.
He is a stickler for promptness. When
he was Averell Harriman's ECA deputy
in Paris, he used to fine his subordinates
100 francs if they showed up late for
staff meetings. He has discontinued that
practice here in Washington, but his staff
meetings still start on the dot of $3.50
am. And they end, also on the dot. at
9:15.
- The years in Washington have pretty
well weaned Mr.. Foster away from the
Scarsdale atmosphere. He did procure
ment work for the Army during the war,
ending up as director of purchases for
the Army Service Forces. He won a
Medal for Merit and the War Depart
ment Commendation for Exceptional
Civilian Services. In 1945 he sneaked
back briefly to his old haunts, but the
next year Mr. Hartman hauled him to
Washington again as Undersecretary of
Commerce. He followed Mr.. Hartman
into ECA in 1948.
1t looks now as though Mr.. Foster is
pretty well stuck here. He has always
been Republican, but the Democrats in
these parts show no disposition to try
getting along without him. He seems to
have more of the kind of quiet, firm abil-

u. N. Must NOT Give Up
In Korea,Lie Declares,
Even at Risk OF War
BY the Associated Press

OSLO, Norway, Dec. 27.-
T'rygve Lie said last night that
United Nations failure to stop the
Communist attack on South Ko-
rea would doom U. N. hopes for
achieving it's aims there OF any
other place.
The United Nations secretary
general declared that U. N. forces
must not give up in Korea, even
though it might mean war with
Red China.
The final goal of the U. N. in
Korea, Mr.. Lie said in radio
address over the Norwegian state
network, is to promote a unified.
free community governed by the
people and to make it possible
for Korea to live in peace with
her neighbors.
The United Nations :" he
said, cannot permit that a cer-
tain system of government,
whether Fascist. Communist, So
cialist. or capitalist, is pressed
and forced upon nation by
means of arms. This simple prin-
ciple is the key to the Korean
conflict.
Should the attack on the Re
public of Korea not be repelled or
stopped. there'll be no basis for
fulfillment of the further aims of
the United Nations, either in
Korea or elsewhere. If we lose in
Korea, we'll have to ask ourselves:
What nation will be the next
victim?"
Mr.. Lie said the U. N. does not
want war with China and he still
hopes for a solution which can
create a kind of peace in Korea
in which the free Korean people
and the U. N. can be satisfied"

Conudion Railroad Strike Ends:

roads running this week in North
Americas two largest nations, the
United States and Canada. In the
Estates" they were rolling under
the flag of Uncle Sam; in the Dom
inion, by order of Parliament.
The Canadian strike, which in
volved 125,O00 members of II non
operating unions, ended August 81
following nine-day tie-up of the
country's entire railroad network.
The men returned after Parliament,
brought together in emergency ses-
sion by airlift, rushed through
drastic special legislation to deal
with the walkout.
Under the legislation, the men
were commanded to go back within
48 hours, with a Accent an hour
wage increase and on a 48-hour
week. Those terms were temporary.
The legislation specified that the
unions and managements were to
attempt a full settlement of the
dispute within the next 80 days.
If they fail the controversy is to go
to binding arbitration. Both sides

FIGHT ON!
By RUTH TAYLOR

From his room at the White
House, Lincoln looked out of the
window at the Pickering campfires
of the enemy entrenched in Mary
land, north of the Capitol. So near
had defeat come to the heart Of the
nation. Then he rose and went to
meet his rebellious Cabinet, to
stand firm against those who eau
toned compromise. He was resolv-
ed to fight to the end for a united
nation.
Washington walked alone in the
snow at Valley Forge-snow stain
ed scarlet by the bleeding feet of
his humble followers. His army was
starving. His forces grew steadily
smaller as the toll of those who
could not face defeat grew larger.
Congress argued, blamed, and did
nothing. He was without money
and almost without friends. Defeat
was imminent-but he prayed for
guidance, frightened his belt, in
creased the discipline of both him
self and his men and went ahead
to win.
Down upon Cherry Valley swoop-
ed the Indians in a frightful mass
acre which devastated that peace
full community and destroyed in a
night the laborious work of years
in carving homes out of the wilder
ness. But scarcely had the maraud-
ers left, and while the ashes of

an arbitrator, but if they can't the
government will pick the umpire
His decision will be final.
The unions demanded a 40
hour week without reduction in
their present AZ hours pay, plus a
seven cents an hour increase-the
same as a million incorporating
employees, represented for the most
part by the same unions, received
in the US a year ago.
A government board earlier re-
commended far less, and manage
ment refused to come anywhere
near meeting the workers terms.
The strike followed. 1t was called
off right after Parliament acted.
Meanwhile in the Estates" the
two unions which had planned a
strike-the Conductors
and Trainmen-prepared to resume
negotiations with the carriers for
a settlement of their dispute.
Their stoppage, originally sched-
uled for Aug. 2S, was postponed
after President Truman ordered
Army seizure of the railroads.
Major issues at stake are a 40
hour week at 46 hours pay for en-
ployes in yard service, and revis

under the Taft Hartley act. Wheth-
er asking for it or advertising your
desire for it is barred is another
matter, however.
Actually the unions weren't
found guilty of violating the Taft
Hartley act by asking that only
union labor be hired, the bulletin
observes. However, picketing for
this illegal objective was held to
be an illegal act in itself.
Moreover, the bulletin points out.
the NLRB is only following recent
decisions of the Supreme Court.
About 10 years ago, the Supreme
Court handed down the doctrine
that peaceful picketing was legal
whether the objective of the pickets
was legal or not. Now the Supreme
Court says that a state court can
issue an injunction barring peace
full picketing if the object of the
pickets is out of line with the
states public policy.
The "free speech" clause in the
Taft Hartley act doesn't mean
much according to NLRB think
ing in the Denver and west coast
cases, the bulletin says. Neverthe-
less, the bulletin observes that en-
ployers "have been given enormous
latitude by the board under the
free speech provision, in talking toI
their employees about unions. 1t will
be interesting to see whether the
board in its next decision under
the free speech provisions as it
applies to employers, places the
same narrow and restrictive limit
ations upon that section as it does
when unions are involved"

Right TO Picket Is Cut As High
Court, NLRB Abouf-Foce, AL Saws

Washington (LPA) - The right
to picket is gradually being cut
down by the National Labor Re-
lations Board and the Supreme
Court, the Building & Construction
Trades Department of the AFL
concludes in its most recent bull
letin.
Little by little, the rights of the
unions to make known their posi-
ton and their demands upon the
employer, and to protect them
selves against arbitrary action by
the employer, are being Whitfield
away" the bulletin contends.
Actually" the bulletin con-
tinues, "about all that is left is the
right to picket to enforce wage or
hour or working conditions de-
mands; to picket against an en-
ployer's unfair labor practices; to
picket for recognition if the union
has been certified by the NLRB, or
if no union has been certified"
The Building & Construction
Trades Department bases its con-
clusion upon two recent unanimous
decisions by the National Labor Re-
lations Board. These decisions re-
verse earlier rulings in which the
right to picket was held to be part
and parcel of free speech, the de-
partment's bulletin declares.
In one case, the NLRB ruled
against the Denver Building &
Construction Trades Council. The
other decision was against Long
shore local on the west coast. In
both instances, the unions were
slapped down for picketing to COM
pei employers to hire only union

Lifts Rent Bon
Despite Appeal
Bv Labor Unions

w S hing ton (LPA) - Los
Angeles tenants suffered what
looked like a fatal blow Aug. 2s
in their fight to keep rent control.
Federal Judge Burnita Matthews
dissolved an injunction which tenn
porarily barred the federal hous-
ing expeditor from decontrOlline
rents. in the southern California
metropolis and dismissed the case
Judge Matthews also rejected ar
application by the Los Angeles
Tenants Council to stay actor
pending an appeal. David Smith
attorney for the council, said he
would appeal anyway, but couldn't
say exactly how he would go about
it.
The Tenants Council said the Lo.
Angeles City Council did not ac;
sin accord with the law" when il
voted to end controls. The City
Council acted under the new fed
eral rent law which allows loca'
governing bodies to vote decontrOl
which must be endorsed and put
into effect by the federal expedit-
or.
The Tenants Council, led by the
international Association of Mach
inists, the AFL and CIO, contend
ed that landlord groups were given
full and orderly hearings before
the City Council but that "jeering
and booing" were permitted when
tenants testified. In addition, the
tenant group charged that ann
were made in advance
that the City Council would vote
for decontrol.

their homes were still red, those
settlers who survived, crept out OF
their hiding places and went back
to bury their dead, to rebuild their
homes and till their fields again.
Earlier still, in that dread winter
three hundred and twenty years
ago, pestilence broke out in the
little Colony of Plymouth. Two
thirds of the colonists perished-
but when Spring came, over the
leveled graves the remaining men
and women sowed maize, that none
might know how great was their
loss. Then they went on about their
business of living, determined to
remain free to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their con-
science.
To the man of faith, defeat is
but a challenge to carry on. 1t is a
hurdle in his path to be taken in
stride. 1t is not the end of the road.
We must face the fact that all
news cannot be good news. That
all men cannot be perfect. We must
have brave and enduring hearts in
our hours of trouble. We must
know that winning the last battle
determines the victory, and we
must battle through to the end,
without stopping to allocate blame
Only as we put defeat behind US,
can we go forward to Victory.
