lis Republicans Ask
u. n. Investigation Of
Soviet Mass Murders

One hundred and fifteen Re-
publican Congressman, accusing
the State Department of "appall-
ing Indifference" last night urged
a United Nations investigation of
mass murders in Soviet-d -domi-
mated areas. ...
In letter to Secretary of State
Acheson. the Republicans urged
the State Department to seek a
U. N. inquiry into the fate of per-
sons being massacred by the
thousands"
Those signing the letter included
House Republican Leader Martin
and Republican House Whip Les
lie Arends.
'The silence of the u. N. and
Of the United States State De-
partment indicates" the letter
said. IAN appalling indifference
toward an international crime
We urge you in conformity with
basic law and morality, our funda-
mental American traditions, and
in the best interests of mankind,
to seek to arrange for an immedi-
ate investigation of Soviet genocide
by the U. N. Assembly"
Murders Not Halted.
The Republicans recalled that
a U. N. convention against mass
murders was adopted just a year
ago-but has not been used to
halt killings.
"On November a." the Re-
publicans wrote to Secretary
Acheson. Representatives of some
IL million American citizens of
Polish, Ukrainian. Greek, Hun
|garian. Czech. Slovak. Lithuanian,
Latvian and Estonian descent
urged you to seek to place on the
|agenda of the U. N. Assembly an
investigation of Soviet genocide
perpetrated on their friends and
kin by the Communist rulers. To
our knowledge, they have received
no response to their appeal.
eve fully share the anxiety of
our fellow citizens when their
brethren are being massacred by
the thousands and when the mil
lions of them are being thrown
into slow-death forced labor
camps.
Horrified by Destruction.
"The silence of death and agony
has descended upon the many
captive peoples: i.e., the Poles,
Hungarians, Lithuanians, Latvi-
ans. EStonians, Ukranians, Czechs,
Bulgarians. Ruthenians, Slovaks,
Jews, Romanians, Albanians, Ar
menians, Byelorussians, East and
Volga Germans. Crimean Tartars,
peoples of the Caucasus, Chinese
and Koreans, and the Greek chill
dren abducted by the Communists.
1--WE are Mortified by the Com
munists' continuous destruction
OF Protestant, Catholic, Jewish
and other religious groups ;.
To give voice to the plight of these
victims of genocide is to give hope
to the still living suppressed peo-
pies and to give power to their
resistance. Keeping these peoples
alive is the best guarantee of
peace, because the Soviet tyrants
will be afraid to start q world war
while SO many non-Russian peo-
pies remain alive under their sub
jugation.

The Buses Kept Going

Although the Alexandria, Barefoot B. Wash
ington bus strike ended before full test Of
Virginias new labor laws could be had, the fact
remains that bus service, even though limited,
continued during the strike. The buses continued
to run because the State has had the foresight
and the courage to give its Governor power to
seize and operate public utilities in such emer-
gencies Plans for expanding the scope Of
ABB &W operations were about to be put into
effect by Gov. Battle when announcement was
made of the settlement Of the wage dispute be-
tween the company and its drivers. Forty-fve
State employees had been ordered here to supple
ment the group of A. B. & w. supervisory en-
ployes who had agreed to work under State
control
A spokesman for the striking union has de-
elared that, despite the settlement, the union
will 20 forward with its plan to seek court
test of the seizure law and to carry the legal
light to the Supreme Court, If necessary. The
grounds on which such a test would be based
were not disclosed. It is worth noting, however,
that Virginia's General Assembly gave much
thought to constitutional questions before finally
approving the modified legislation under which
the Governor acted. The Assembly modified the
original public-utility seizure law after the
Supreme Court had nullifled Wisconsin law
which contained no-Strike clause resembling
one in Virginia's old seizure law. The revised
law contains no strike ban or cooling OF"
period for arbitration procedures. corollary
mediation act also was passed
The Legislature was satisfied that the new

law would meet any court test. It justified pas
sage Of the law in this preamble: "The con-
tinuous, uninterrupted and proper functioning
and operation of public utilities engaged in the
business of furnishing water, light, heat, gas,
electric power, transportation or communication,
or any one or more of them, to the people Of Vir-
ginia hereby declared to be essential to their
welfare, health and safety. It is contrary to the
public policy of the State to permit any substan-
tial impairment or suspension of the operation
of any such utility and 1t is the duty of the
government Of the State to exercise all available
means and every power at its command to pre-
vent the same so as to protect its citizens from
any dangers, perils, calamities or catastrophes
which would result therefrom."
That is reasonable concept of the States
responsibilities to all its citizens-and one with
which most Virginians and citizens of other
States will agree.

Josephine M. johnson.
As a lifelong resident Of the District.
having driven for 80 years, am happy
to see our Capital auto tag coming into
its own with 1853. For years others as
well as myself have wondered why we
did not have distinctive tag so resi-
dents Of States could see it was from
their Capital.
When my husband was living we drove
through AZ of the 48 States and in
Canada. He delighted in asking service
station men where our car was from.
One reply was ID. C.-Denver, Colo
rado"; another time. ID. C.-Dominion
of Canada" which would bring hearty
laugh from him.
Now I am proud to see "The Ma
tion's Capitol" as well as the District
of Columbia" on our new tags.
