Close Stores on Monday?

1t seems shame that The Star went
to the expense Of conducting consumer
analysis this year, if people refuse to
profit by the information obtained.
The Star asked Washington-are con-
sunaers what day they usually shop for
clothing. furniture, housewares or ap-
pliances. The results showed that more
people shop on Saturday than on any
other day. A closer analysis undoubtedly
would have revealed that most people
shop on Saturday because they have
little opportunity to shop while they
are at work Monday through Friday.
BY closing all day Saturday during
July and August, then. think one could
conclude with some justification that the
department stores are driving a consid-
erable number of potential customers
into the shopping centers in outlying
districts. If I were a department store
stockholder, could hardly be expected
to approve an action of this type.
Certainly store employees are entitled
to days of during these months Gao

Hope in Iran

There is real hope that something good will
result from the talks now beginning in Teheran
between Premier Mossadegh's government and
the special British cabinet mission. The two
sides-brought together through the mediating
efforts of w. Avereu Hartman President Tru-,
mans special envoy-seem to be equally anxious
to work out sound agreement Their anxiety
is well founded, for both will suffer grievously-
and so will the non-Soviet world as whole-n
they fail to agree. The all-around awareness OF
that fact ought in itself to serve as powerful
prod toward satisfactory settlement.
AS matters stand, this critical dispute, wholly
apart from the political harm it has done, al
ready has led to lot Of economic loss for both
Britain and Iran Not single tanker has left
Abadan since the Mossadegh government began
taking over the Anglo-1ranian Company late
last June. With storage capacity filled to over
flowing, all refining operations have had to be
halted, and something like 100000 barrels
of oil-which otherwise would have been moving
out toward the company's customers in Western
Europe and elsewhere-have been lost. More
than British income has been hit Hit even
harder has been Teheran's treasury, which has
seen it's main source of revenue drying up
revenue indispensable to the country's economy.

Voting Rights for D. c.

I notice that Senator Moody is added
to the list of Senators backing the home
rule bill. He is quoted In The Star
July ~ as saying TT is my impression
the citizens Of the District of Columbia
are American citizens; however, they
haven't been treated as such by Con-
gress. The time is long overdue when
the people Of the District should have
their full rights under the Constitution.
They have never had them yet"
BY backing the home rule bill, does
Mr.. Moody. think that Is full rights?
The District people want to vote in
the national elections. Congress can
keep the sponsor jobs and fill the
mayors job.
A legal resident of the District should
not be allowed the dual voting provided
by this home rule bill, because theu
the voter is not legal resident. The
true, real legal resident has no other
home State to vote In any and all elec-
tionS.

By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

THE Battle Of the Metals" founda-

National survival is really based on
metals. They are the stuff OF which
ships, guns, planes and the thousand

ultra-modern fighting force on land. on
sea and in the air are made.
So important are strategic materials
that President Truman has directed
that new Government organization
be set up under Jess Larson, head Of
General Services Administration. Some
OF the functions being performed by
ECA will be absorbed by the new agency.
But ECA win still be in the field to
aid in securing the strategic materials.

ECA's role may be to construct new
port facilities SO materials can more
quickly be shifted to freighters. It may
be rehabilitation of wornout railroads

might be worth while to point out to
your readers that Mr.. Bayes, from the
beginning has described the executive
form as one incomparably superior to

ported the manager plan in the 1850

rior even to the executive plan. But,
even before the referendum, in which
the voters approved the executive form.
Mr. Bayers declared repeatedly and in
public that he would give the executive
form his enthusiastic support If the
voters chose that plan.
In this election campaign, moreover,
Mr.. Bayes has stated repeatedly. in pub

important step for county progress is
the wholehearted adoption of the new
form To cite the record, he has called
for IAN aggressive, intelligent use Of the

An Unreliable Bondsmon

Revocation of the bail on which 80 deport-
able aliens have been at liberty is logical act
of prudence on the part of the Government.
The bail had been posted by the Civil Rights
Congress, an organization listed by the Depart
ment Of Justice as a Communist front and OUT
lawed in the Federal District Court in New York
as a bonding agency. The court has ruled that
the congress cannot be relied upon as bonds
mana ruling justified by its failure to Cor
operate in the hunt for four convicted Com
munist leaders who jumped bail furnished by
the CRC. This evidence of responsibility is
enough to disqualify the congress from posting
bail for any one
The purpose of bail is to insure the ap-
pearance in court at the proper time of the
person placed under bond: Bondsmen ordi-
narily take their responsibilities to the court
and the public seriously. Usually they are only
too eager to assist the authorities in locating
clients who fail to appear. Otherwise they could
be accused of collaborating in plot to defeat
justice. In effect, that is what the Civil Rights
Congress stands charged with It's officers have
shown no inclination to purge their organization
OF this suspicion. In fact, four of the trustees
Of the CRC bail fund are serving contempt-of-
court sentences for refusing to aid the court in
finding the missing quartet of Red higher-ups.
The aliens whose, bonds have been voided
are all SupJect 10 oeporIatlon Ior COMMUNIST or
other subversive activities. The usual cries of
persecution and witch-hunting may be expected
from Communist sources. But the fact is that
the aliens are not being denied legitimate bail
at all. They are being denied only bail that,
the court UNDERSTANDABLE believes cannot be de-
pended on to serve its purpose of guaranteeing
the surrender of the accused foreigners when
their time for deportation arrives The Govern
ment would be taking an unnecessary risk II 1t

Helping Blue Babies

One Of the final official activities of Kath-
arine F. Lenroot, chief of the Children's Bureau
of the Federal Security Agency, before she retires
at the end of this month is an effort to help at
least hundred of the Nations "blue babies
infants suffering from congenital heart mall
formations. An announcement just released
explains that the agency over which she has
presided for II years is planning to spend
100000 year for surgical and hospital care
and related services in aid of youngsters of the
cardiovascular classification. This means that
money will be made available to regional centers.
working with crippled childrens institutions and
societies so that selected "blue babies" may have
the structural corrections they need IL they are
to live About 81 900 will be required in an aver
age instance. Where feasible, local resources will
be drawn upon. The parents of the infants are
expected to pay the expenses Of the operations
If they are able to- do So - *s
OF course, the total overall "blue baby"
problem will not be solved by the enterprise
Miss Lenroot is sponsoring. Nobody knows how
many children there are who have congenital
heart malformations. The number may run
into many times present estimates. What is
certain is that in 1948 there were 1885 deaths
Of children under one year of age attributed to
heart abnormalities No "blue baby had q
chance of survival until the comparatively recent
development of the famous procedure Of Dr.
Helen B. Taussig and DR.. Alfred Blalock at Johns
Hopkins In Baltimore. They successfully created
! surgical "detour" around partially obstructed
artery In a representative patient. Then they
repeated the operation in 827 other children
similarly afflicted. Between November 1914
and August, 1949, they achieved satisfactory
results in IS per cent of the youngsters treated.
The Childrenis Bureau now initiates a
program intended to spread the benefits of the
work on "blue babies" Grace-New Haven Com
munty Hospital is the first regional heart center
to be aided It will receive patients from Con-
necticut and Rhode Island who seem to promise
the best chances of living normal lives with
surgical help of the type devised by Dr. Taussig
and DR.. Blalock. Not every suffering infant can
be accepted Miss Lenroot warns that the project
is mot cure-all for all congenital heart cases
and will help provide care for relatively few
children each year."
But there is good hope that the enterprise
may be expanded with more funds and gradual
reduction in costs as the technique becomes more
and more definitely perfected.
