 The Chamber voted 10 pay light bills not 10 exceed S6 monthly for the airport until such lime as some other local group might assume inc re- sponsibilitY. Payment of the light bill by the Chamber will make possible the installation of landing lights along the north-south runway. Small planes will then be able 10 land after dark. Shorter daylight hours and no lights al the port prohibited the landing of sew eral craft here this week. Clair Stock. president of the Cham Der said. The landing lights will be installed by volunteer workmen. ..:.--
 Further ection on the Good Roads Association was postponed by the Chamber until Herb Hills cher, chairman of the Association for the territory, forwards more information. Mir.

Thut Inherent Power

The Presidents reluctant decision to
invoke the Taft-Hartley Act in the coal
strike was announced yesterday-exactly
q year and three days after one of the
most heated debates took place in the
Senate over repeal of that act.
The debate was precipitated by memo
randum opinion from the then Attorney
General, Tom Clark. The administrations
proposed substitute for the Taft-Hartley
Act contained no specific provisions under
which the President, should other measures
In settlement of strike fail, might appeal
to the courts for njunction-Which labor
hates.
Mr. Clark had written, in discussing this
phase of the proposed new labor law
However, with regard to the question of
the power of the Government q. I might
point out that the inherent power of the
President to deal with emergencies that
affect the health, safety and welfare of
the entire Nation is exceedingly great
1t Is my belief that access to its courts is
always available to the United States, in
the absence of a specific statutory bar
depriving the Government of the right to
seek the aid of the Federal courts in such
critical situations"
Senator Taft and others argued that no
such inherent power" existed. The Pres
ident and his supporters said it did. But
the more important point argued by
Senator Taft, with which the Senate
majority agreed was that it was more in
keeping with our principles of Govern
ment to define such power by the legisla-
tive process than to leave it subject to
some future Interpretation by some future
President and possibly acquieScent courts
For the time being, the President is
possessed, under the Taft-Hartley law, of
power to seek and obtain from the courts
an order which, if obeyed would restore
work in the mines for eighty days. MIR.
Lewis has plainly indicated that the miners
Is individuals might ignore such an order.
That of course, Is merely one OF the pos
sibilities. Another is that after obeying
such an order for eighty days, the miners,
In the absence of settlement, might quit
again-in which case the President would
have exhausted the power spelled out for
him by the Taft-Hartley law. He no longer
possesses statutory power to seize the mines
power which he used before under the
terms of the now-expired Smith Connally
Act.
It would seem, therefore, that Mr.. Lewis
and his miners may bring test of the
Presidents inherent power"-the outcome
of which may go long way toward deter
mining the shape OF future amendments
of the Taft-Hartley Act.

The Leaion Goes Too For

It is all right for the American Legion
to declare war on the foes of veterans
rights" as a recent Legion bulletin de-
scribes the organizations latest campaign,
but to include the Hoover Commission
among these foes" is patiently absurd.
Yet Legion posts throughout the Nation
are being "mobilized' to fight what Legion
leaders describe as "a ruthless betrayal of
veterans" by Mr. Hoover and his reorgani-
cation associates.
Several hundred legionnaires convened
here today presumably as part of the
Nationwide mobilization against that part
of the Hoover report recommending re-
organization of the Veterans Administra-.
ton, National headquarters of the Legion
has issued a "call to arms" against "a
thoroughly organized and well-financed
anti-veteran pressure group" (referring,
apparently, to the Citizens Committee for
the Hoover Report. 1t will be a "black
day" for veterans, according to the Legions
Public Relations Division, when the Hoover
report dealing with veterans affairs is
adopted
All of this is reminiscent of complaint
when, as President, he tried unsuccessfully
to effect certain governmental reforms.
Reorganization proposals. he said, always
prove to be signal for the mobilization
of opposition from all quarters which has
destroyed the possibility of constructive
action" And it is nonsense for the Legion
or any other group or individual to con-
tend seriously that the Hoover Commission
or it's supporters are "foes of veterans
rights" who are not concerned with con-
structive action but, rather, are bent on
"betraying' those who fought for their
country in two World Wars.
1t may well be that the Hoover recon-
mendations for injecting more efficiency
into the handling of veterans affairs are
subject to valid criticism. The commission
itself has never asserted that all of its
proposals are beyond debate. But to ques-
ton the motives of the commission, to
charge it's members, many of whom were
veterans themselves with selling the vet
Grams down the river" is going too far. 1t
was Mr.. Hoover who issued the executive
order setting up an independent veterans
agency and he would be the. last person
to suspect of sinister plans for tearing it
down.
Most of the Legion's opposition to the
Hoover report on the Veterans Admins
tration is directed at the proposals for
transferring certain functions to agencies
better equipped to perform them. The
Evening star., 1950-02-07

Legion calls this "dismemberment" of the
bureau. But the Hoover report specifically
provides for retention by the VA of full
control of all the transferred activities.
The commission cited the possibility of
substantial economies for the taxpayers
including veterans-and of greatly. accel-
Grated services to veterans in the insurance,
housing, rehabilitation and other fields.
Nowhere in the report was there any
recommendation for curtailing veterans
rights" or existing services.
II the American Legion or other vet
erans' groups have specific objections to
make regarding any part of the Hoover
report, It's advice undoubtedly will be well
coined by the President and by Congress.
But the Legion is hurting the veterans
cause when 1t attributes to the reorganiza-
ton forces motives other than a sincere
desire to put the Veterans Administration
on more businesslike basis.

SimpIe-If 1t W<rks

Some unsung genius in The Navy de-
serves our thanks In these days of
frantic crisis he has opened a pleasantly
new channel for thought on how to re-
build, in the ranks of the Navy, a spirit
OF brotherly love, sweet unity and light.
His formula is simple. Stop calling each
other names. BRASS hats" is barred as
term descriptive of the higher echelons
OF command. Trade school boys" will not
be tolerated in reference to graduates of
Annapolis. Mustang for line officer
risen from the ranks; "airdales," meaning
Navy aviators; "seagoing bellhops" for
Marines-all such impolite and derisive
designations are to be forbidden by order
of the Secretary of the Navy.
Why did somebody not think of this
approach before, not only for the Navy
but for the sadly shattered ranks of all
mankind, trembling on the Drinks of so
many disasters? Why not have law?
Under its provisions no citizen could with
impunity use, in reference to his fellows,
such terms as "that lug" stuffed shirt"
"windbag," "phony," '1aatfoot" or even
confer, with or without a smile, q de-
scription in initials of ne ghbors f..mily
tree Under the spirit of this law the
President would be restrained from fling
ing such epithets as "the interests" in de-
scribing small and puny minorities.
Broadened and adopted as new concept
of international law, the language of
diplomacy would be purged of such ref
erences to friendly peoples as ''warmon-
gers" "lying schemers," ruthless oppres-
sors," "barbarians," and so forth and so on.
Surely the Navy's plan deserves care

The Heart Cumpoion

During the month of February the
Washington Heart. Association is trying to
raise 100000 to carry on its work of re-
search, education and social service against
heart diseases. The amount indicated is
so small that it should be over-subscribed,
Deaths from cardiac ailments are three
times those attributed to cancer, thirteen
times those due to tuberculosis. Especially
in children, such figures have tragic and
pitiful connotations. People in general
not merely physicians and nurses-need to
know more about diseases of the heart.
They need to be educated to a practical
comprehension of the reactions of the
cardiac system to the experiences of the
body and the mind. The principle of cause
and effect nowhere is more convincingly
demonstrated than in this field-the rela-
tion between what we do and what happens
to us in result.
Comparatively few heart patients are
familiar with their own condition. Thou
sands of them never have consulted heart
specialists nor even their family doctors.
They collapse and die suddenly when with
self-knowledge and reasonable care they
might have lived much longer. That
largely is the reason why heart diseases
constitute Americas greatest public health
problem. But popular understanding is
not enough, would not be enough If it were
multiplied over and over again. What
particularly is required is accelerated study
of the heart and the network of arteries
with which it is associated. More labora-
tory work is wanted. The sources of rheu-
matte fever, high blood pressure and
hardening of the arteries have yet to be

would like to ask the mother who wonders
whether crime pays: What is more important
"a million dollars in the bank or q clear

Some of us have lost sight of the i'm

ourselves too much with the material things

builds his hopes around fortunes quickly
made, it is because someone has fallen down
IN his job of character training for that
youngSter. Even a very young child, with
proper training in his home, can answer
the question she says youngsters ask: 'If they
(the ganblers) can do it. why can't II" The
answer for those youngsters is: Perhaps you
can do 1t. but you should not because it is
wrong.
Why don't we concentrate more on sense
than cents? How can we compare peace

We instill desire for respect instead of
desire to be envied?. Why don't we help our
children realize that getting away with it"

off our own sense of values we can give
our children an indestructible protection
against the influence of criminals. In CIV
ing this very necessary training, we are
waging our own crime prevention campaign

Phone Company Employe Tells Why

To the Editor Of The Star:
This is written in reply to a letter pub

Telephone Workers Disagree with Union
Leader"
To MY way of thinking, the character who
penned that letter, and incidentally who
didn't bother to sign his name, is typical
product and disciple of the monopolistic Bell
System. He does not take into consideration
that the only way the Bell System employees
have obtained any wage raises or better
working conditions in the past 10 years was
by threat of strike or by actually going out
on strike.
Nor does he seem to take into consdera-
tion that the wage scale of telephone workers
has gone down each year since 1899. 1t is
very evident by the tone of his letter that
during the last strike in 1947, he was So
called "free rider" who worked and did not
have to put up with any hardships of the
strike for seven weeks, but who accepted
without word the increase in wages and
improvement in conditions gained by the
striking employees of the telephone system.
