Capable but Unwunted

Three months ago, was separated
from my position with the Civil Service
Commission for lack of seniority. Being
a cerebral palsy. have been unable
to obtain employment in private in
dustry. This, despite the fact that my
CSC references state that my physical
handicap in no way is an occupational
handicap.
The reception given me and others
Of my clan by private industry has
been that of sympathetic understand
ing but no employment. The very last
thing we want is sympathy. We have
proved by our record with the worlds
largest business the United States Gov
ernment, that we are an asset to those
placing their confidence in US.
The United States Unemployment
Service seem to be doing their best for
us, but unfortunately they do not have
the last say on whom private in 1uStry
shall employ.
We. the physically handicapped, ask
for nothing more than to re-prove to
private industry, after we have already
done so for the Government, that we
can do days work as well as a nor
NAL person if only given the oppor-
tunity. Why must we continually get.
"Well, we'll keep your name on file.
and if anything turns up, we will, etc."
Our and my problem in particular
is who's ward am to become? I have
skills that can be put to good use,
however. as mentioned. where do I go
from here when the only one that has
confidence in me is CSC, but due to
lack Of seniority, they cannot assist.

States of America. They are also a
solution by which the Communist state
solves" the unemployment problems.
America is a reactionary state in
the opinion of Communists because
1t does not know how ito solve" un-
employment in the Communist manner.
There are concentration camps for
prisoners who have to work in mines,
especially in the uranium mines; there
are concentration camps for factory
workers; there are concentration
camps for young people and for
women; for the army; even for priests
and nuns. In q memorandum sub
mitted in May of last year the Coun-
Gil Of Free Czechoslovakia gave an
accurate picture of prevailing condi-
tions in Czechoslovakia conditions
have worsened since them; there
were at the time 247 concentration
camps with $4,000 prisoners. That is
high per cent for my small nation!
AS the population of the United States
is IL times that of Czechoslovakia, the
number of prisoners in my country
corresponds to about million people
in America Should not this Lumber
arouse the interest of the entire world,
at least as much as the Communists
have stirred up for the IL Communists
imprisoned in the United States?
Although the large number of i'm
prisoned and tortured has reached tens
of millions behind the Iron Curtain, it
does not fully express the tragedy of
this inhuman system. To understand
its import we should take into account
that the best citizens of the nations
behind the Iron Curtain are held
prisoners in the concentration camps,
the people who could neither be bought
nor frightened into submission These
are the people who should be the lead
ing citizens of their nations in time of
oppression and upheaval, for they are

w nally penetrated into the Nazi
concentration camps in the last days
of World War II and when reports and
photographs first appeared in the press.
the free world shuddered at the atroc-
tiles. It felt that perhaps being at,
war was not enough. that more should
have been done to save the prisoners
and to succor degraded humanity. But
today the free world is not at war with
the Communists On the contrary. it
has retained diplomatic relations with
the Communists and meets with them
at the United Nations. Yet for many
years there have been concentration
camps in the countries behind the Iron
Curtain, wnere millions Of people are
being tortured and murdered in way
which can be likened to the methods
of the condemned war criminals who
were executed for their crimes. In
the case of the Nazis, the free world
could ease its conscience by saying
that it had not known of these con-
centration-camp horrors. Does 1t have
the same excuse now? Can 1t hide
behind the excuse that perhaps all
reports on Communist atrocities in
concentration camps are only concoc-
tions of warmongerS and anti-Com-
muniSt exileS?
The Economic and Social Council Of
the United Nations together with the
international Labor ONCE have formed
a special Ad Hoe Committee on Forced
Labor which. upon concluding investi-
cations and hearing witnesses over q
period of one year. has published

not adhere to neutrality. The world
now has an objective document which
it can no longer ignore in silence.
In the technical meaning Of the
word, forced labor is only more severe
form of the unbearable working condi-
tionS prevailing in countries behind the
Iron Curtain, while concentration camps
are only an intensified form Of forced
labor. Concentration camps are the
logical consequence Of the Communist
slave system; they can be compared to
a dark cell in prison in q country
which has become nothing but prison.
From the Communist standpoint they
are the most profitable, positive feature

May I express my appreciation OF
the generous space which The Star

Commissioners and Governors Confer
ence on Metropolitan Washington
Traffic Problems and which it is now
devoting to the District of Columbia

1t is gratifying to know that the

on The Star for support of official
activities which we all hope will result
in marked reduction in traffic acci-
dents and deaths.

officials than the cooperation which

the democrats who have played an
important part in public life and who,
as world citizens. have worked all
their lives for cooperation between
nations and for world peace. In the
concentration camps are university
professors, scientists, writer's. artists.
technical experts and industrial pro-
moters, priests and former high state
officials. These people are Systemat-
ically and quickly liQuidated; they are
being destroyed physically and morally
only because they have refused to ad-
vocate and practice communism.
Can it then be said that this is an
internal problem of the Iron Curtain
countries? Is it true, then, that Amer
lea is on one side and Czechoslovakia.
for instance, on the other side and
that the problems Of the two states
are alien to one another? Should it
not rather be said that on one side is
the free world and on the other side
the Communist-enslaved world? Do
not these unfortunates in the concen-
tration camps belong to Americas dem
ocratic ranks? Is not the systematic
destruction of human rights a matter
for the whole world? Is not their
protection one of the most important
tasks of the United Nations?
This summer the Economic and So
cial Council of the United Nations
postponed point out that the United
States voted against the poStponement
the aforementioned report of the
Ad Hoe Committee on Forced Labor
as evidently the matter did not seem
urgent to people as yet free. The
United States proposed that the re-
port be placed as one Of 80 points on
the agenda of the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly. Let us hope that with
the exception of the Communist dele
gates no other state will vote against
placing the report Of the Ad Hoe Com
mittee on the agenda. 1t is high time
that the United Nations, mindful of
its Charter, takes up the problem of
human rights as it is indivisibly tied
up with the problem of war and peace
Closing ones eyes to the horrors which
inevitably sooner or later would lead
to war is not serving peace. For a
certainty, the horrors and not the eff
fort to correct them would lead to
war. World public opinion should make
this clear to the fearSome souls who,
in an effort to save peace, do not wish
to save man. What is the meaning
of war and peace? Can the methodi-
cal murder of millions be called peace?
The time is opportune to show the
Soviet Union that the free world has
not forfeited its own self. Communism
is passing through severe crisis and
at this time it is again-as often before
making a bid to the free world for
several years respite for it's recupera-
tion so that it could continue it's aggres-
sion with renewed vigor later on.
The question actually is: Will it be
possible to buy off the free world by
releasing two or three of its journalists
and by permitting few wives of citi-
zens of foreign countries to leave the
Soviet Union? Or will the free world
insist on the liberation of millions of
its best allies behind the Iron Curtain?

Federal Loyoffs

This is in reference to Senator Sal
tonstall's recent talk, or double talk, as
usual, for the Republicans. Yes, there
is quite change in spirit in Govern
ment workers, but it is not as the Sen
ator claims. Government people are
cornered; work that should be done is
piling up for lack of help to do it.
People in bureaus which have recently
laid off hundreds of workers are now
working overtime, some of them be-
yond their physical strength. The Gov
ernment is paying sick leave and over
time for the sake of the Republican
boast. It may look good to the home
folks as long as they can be taken in
by empty figure reports, but Govern
ment workers have friends and rela-
tives in their home States, too. There
is definitely less service given these
days. Any one with common sense
knows that when work must be done,
it takes workers to do it. The morale
of even the most loyal workers is
shaken to the extent that even they
cannot put out as good or as much
work as usual.
AS for people getting to work earlier
Il haven't noticed it except for those
who probably would rather work part
of their overtime in the morning or for
those who wanted choice parking space.
am from Massachusetts, and always
defended Senator Saltonstall as being
an honest, good man. But by his
double-talking speech and promises of
saving money by ruthlessly throwing
people out of work, with no study of
the needs of the activities from which
they were separated, I have changed
my opinion of him..

TV code seems to have
achieved some results. The re-
view board and the broad
casters now must take care to
avoid panic at every COM
plant. 1t will not help tele-
vision at all if innocuity is
allowed to become a virtue.
There will always be COM
plants about almost anything,
as Hollywood already has dis
covered. Any movie producer
knows that the sanest course,
to ease the load on the mail
room, requires that the villain
have no recognizable racial
characteristics, no religious or
fraternal ties. no legal occu-
patton or trade.
The problem in censorship,
either internally or externally
applied, is that the same
things are not offensive to all.

program which plays on the
misfortune of its audience par
ticipantS. I probably think it
is an offense against human
dignity.
Ideal Is Impossible
That reference back there to
constituents without the
strength to twist a channel
selector was. not intended as
flip. Ideally. censorship of tele-
vision should be confined to
the living room. This, however
would require that all parents
be willing to assume the job
and that all in broadcasting
be equipped with common
sense, good taste and scrupleS.
Since neither of these con-
ditions exists, television has to
police itself.
You can be sure it will con-
tinue to do so, at least as long
as there is a Congress on Capt.
tol Hill. This first report on
the code contains a number of
comments by Congressman.
Two are especially interesting.
Wrote a Senator: Inevitably,
if the industry does not clean
up it's own backyard, some
Government body will ulti-
mately be forced to do the
job"
Wrote a Representative: "I
am certain that unless you
do take rigid steps to control
these who would exploit the
listening and seeing public,
legislation will be adopted
which will not be to your
liking"
Now, when somebody tells
you to do it his way or he will
pass a law making your way
illegal, you have to watch your
step.
