Letters to The Star.

Of wild cat nature. Are these
potential feline malefactorS running
their union and their company?
I suspect that this race-prejudice
principle is being played for profits by
some of the boys as steady overtime
pay. So far, no one has dared, or has
desired. to call their bluff.

In a recent editorial commenting on
the fare increase just granted to the
Capital Transit Co., The Star finds
that the Public Utilities Commission
went rather far afield to take a crack
at the company for its failure to en-
ploy colored persons as Streetcar or bus
operators. The Star contends that this
is q labor-relationS problem and has
no place in the fare-rate proceeding.
On the contrary. any factor that in
wolves tremendous sums for overtime
payments to an understaffed force, or
requires the outlay of thousands of
dollars for out-of-town recruitment.
justly belongs in any consideration Of
fare increase. There are many riders
Of etc who contend that these costs
are q waste Of money, in view Of the
fact that there is an adequate, avail
able pool of labor right here in the
city.
Furthermore, The Star should be ad-
vised that the Public Service Commits
sion Of Indiana in affare-increase hear
ing in May. 1858, directed the Indian
apolis Railways to utilize the local labor
market by hiring colored persons to
operate Streetcars and buses In In
dianapolis before any further increase
in fare could be considered.
Following in the footsteps Of In
Adianapolis. little civic unity here
could remove this potential area of
racial tension. and perhaps prevent
these annoying periodic fare increases.

Transit Operators
Watcher.

Recent testimony at the Capital
Transit Co. hearing indicates that some
members of Congress are in favor of
coercion in the shape of legislation to
force the company to employ Negroes
as streetcar and bus operators.
Under the guise of benefiting one
group OF people, it is proposed TO take
away the right Of an employer to hire
whom he pleaSes. in this case, if he
excludes certain race or races. There
are other restrictions upon the employer
already existent. such as the closed
shop. which allows him to hire only
union members. This trend eventually
will leave the employer no choice of
hiring new employees at all.
The individual workman is restricted
in his choice of job in many ways.
The union works against him. as well
as for him. Once he has the job, factors
out Of his control may cause him to
lose it, So he has no right to keep the
job, even though he may have some
right to get it,
The upShot Of it all is that the free
dom of action of the individual in this
country is restricted to the extent that
he has very few constitutional rights
ACAl' l1IuOllS lliCtIl dlc llicSc lIlIc6.
l. The right to think, and argue
2. The right of association with whom
he pleases). 3. Freedom in his own

All Of these are being seriously
threatened in various ways today. yet
the public continues to sleep. If these
rights are further violated, either by
pressure of organizations, or by legis-
lation in Congress-then communism
will have won the fight against de-
mocracy in this country.

If Stanford Village, a typical Army

the community; as it is it is a tax-free
liability. Thus it would be more ap-
propriate for the Government to donate
the needed land for school, or sell it
at 81 per acre.
How can the Government tell the
public education is being helped, at the
same time condoning an example such
as this of out-and-out profiteering at
educations expense?

Proposal 10 Change
The Lord Prayer
BY tho Assoeioisd Press

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. GA
proposal to change the wording
Of the Lords Prayer failed to
come to q vote yesterday In the
closing session Of the 25th synod
Of the Episcopal Church Prov
ince Of Washington.
1t. Gen. John C. H. Lee Of
York. Pa, vice president of the
Laymen's Brotherhood Of st. An
drew. had suggested that the al
most universally used phrase
"and lead us not into tempta-
tion," be revised to read "let US
not fall when tempted" He
argued the present wordage is
wrong "since no Christian can
expect to be spared temptation;
but instead the strength to re-
sist temptation" should be
prayed for.
The Resolutions Committee
today ruled the proposed revision
would be an inappropriate ac-
ton for the synod. and that 1t
should be referred to the stand
ing Liturgical Commission Of the
general convention representing
the entire church.
The decision of Presiding
Bishop Henry Knox Sheriff. to
hold the next triennial conven-
tion in Honolulu next fall was
tabled. The decision to meet in
Honolulu came about after it was
found that Houston. Tex. would
not have ron-segregation ar
rangements.
Bishop Angus Dun Of Wash
ington. D. c., spoke in favor of
Bishop Sherrill's decision but
Bishop Noble c. Powell of Mary
land urged the convention meet
in Houston.
The five-State synod meets
twice every three years. It's pur-
pose is to draft recommends
tions for the triennial general
convention scheduled for Homo

embraces the States Of Pennsyl-

Mcnamara knows how the Gov
ernment is run in Washington
that no one has any inkling at
this time of year what the new
budget is to contain. To which
Senator Ferguson adds, the Re-
publicans put through 81 billion
for highway construction this
year-far more than the Demo-
Gratis appropriated in the past.
Ferguson Has Advantage.
It's an active campaign, with
Senator Ferguson moving about
the State just as fast as his Dem
ocratic opponent. The Senator
has distinct advantage. He is
widely known. Many Of the
voters, even in the Detroit area,
never heard Of Mr.. Mcnamara
before. They are inclined. even
some of the Democrats. to sup
port the man they know. Also,
before he ever ran for the Sem
ate, Senator Ferguson made a
fine record as a circuit judge.
He is now completing his second
term in the Senate. In 1948, he
was reelected Senator with
lead of nearly $4,000. That year
Gov. Dewey Of New York, the
Republican presidential candi-
date, won the electoral vote of
Michigan, but only because

Dewey a plurality. It is the opin-
ion of objective observers here
that Senator Ferguson will win
by larger margin than he did
six years ago. President Eisen-
hover carried Michigan in 1852
by 100000 votes-and he is still
popular here.
OF Michigan's 18 members of
the House of Representatives, l3
are Republicans in the present
Congress and five are Democrats.
Democrats insist they will take
two or three, or even four, of
the Republican seats and hold on
to their own. A more reasonable
estimate is that the Democrats
may pick up one or two seats.
The Republicans have a chance
to take over one Democratic dis
trict, but only chance.
In the 18th congressional dis
trict the Democrats have
nominated Negro undertaken,
Charles c. Diggs, jr. If Mr.. Diggs
wins in this Detroit district, he
will be the first Negro the State
has sent to Congress. The dis

cratic in the past. The Repub-
lican candidate is Landon

Admiral Byrd DiscIoses Plan
For New Antarctic Expedition

Rear Admiral Richard =. Byrd
disclosed today that the Defense
Department Is planning q second
and larger expedition to the
Antarctic as q follow-up OF the
one-ship expedition which will
sail soon for the South Pole area.
Admiral Byrd, q White House
visitor on another matter, said
the objective Of both expeditions
was to explore an area in the
Antarctic larger than the United
States which he said no human
had ever seen.
President Eisenhower an
nounced recently that the Navy
icebreaker Atka would sail for
the Antarctic December S on a
reconnaissance trip that was ex-
pected to take four or i've
months. The ship is now being
readied at Boston for the trip.
The admiral. who has visited
the Antarctic four times, the
last in 1947, is technical adviser
to the Atka expedition as well
as adviser to a Defense Depart
ment committee that is planning
the second and larger expedi-
tion.
The explorer will not accom-
pany the Atka but did not deny
that he may 60 on the second
trip.
Admiral Byrd said that the
size and makeup of the second
expedition will be based on the
findings of the Atka group.
He said that the large area
to be explored by the twin ex-
peditions is known to contain
many minerals, including large
deposits of coal, uranium and
probably oil.
