Black Arm Bands

monographs in the Sunday papers,
after the Supreme Courts ruling in the
steel case, portrayed strikers in black
arm bandS-SymbolS of mourning, per-
hapS, because they had to obey the law
OF the land. Oregon'S Senator Morse
contributed his bit to this melancholy
mood by proposing that the American
flag be flown at half-staff during the 80
days that the injunction will be in force.
And Walter Reuther, UAW president, who
yields to no man in this sort of thing,
said the steel workers have been forced
into involuntary Servitude," and de-
nounced the President for being "a party
to the witch hunt against the American
labor movement"
All of this, in addition to being
downright silly, overlookS vital point
the overriding obligation of the Govern
ment to safeguard the public interest
Injunctions under the Taft Hartley
Act are not issued to help or punish
either party to labor management
dispute. They have but one purpose
to throw some limited protection around
the national interest, or the public
interest, when threatened with destruc-
tion by private war between a union
and an industry. 1t may be, according to
ones point of view, that the time at
which an injunction is issued in given
case will be helpful to one and preju-
dicial to the other. We doubt that this is
true, but even if it is, it is beside the
point. For no injunction can be issued
under Taft-Hartley unless and until a
strike has reached point at which the
national health, the national safety, or
both, are in jeopardy. And when that
point has been reached the injunction
should be issued, regardless of how one
appraiSeS its impact on the parties to
private dispute. We do not understand
how anyone can suggest that the inter-
eStS of 100000 steel workers, or dozen
steel companies, should prevail against
the interests of the ITO million people
who live in this country.
OF course, there are those who argue
to the contrary. But they are rendering
a diSService to all concerned. Their
rantingS may help pull the teeth from
the Taft-Hartley Act, as would be the
case, Tor example, II the steel strike is
resumed after the injunction runs out.
This, however, would be to win battle
while losing the war. For this country is
not going to put up with, and it cannot
tolerate, another protracted shutdown
in steel next January.
The union and the industry are not
really very far apart. They had better
settle their private fight before the in
junction runs out. If they do not do this,
then Congress, however reluctantly and
unhappily, will have to adopt new legis-
lation which will settle it for them. If
this happens all of us, figuratively speak
ing, will be wearing black arm bands and
flying the flag at half-staff for
departed ideal, an ideal which we
cherished but to which only lip service
was paid-the American way of life.

How much interest among
the general public or even
among Republicans would a
@. o. p. national convention
arouse II only required to
ratify the presidential nomi-
nation of an unopposed cam
didate? Fortunately for the
Republican Party 1t has be-
come almost a foregone con-
clusion that Vice President
Richard M. Nixon Of Cali
fornia and Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller Of New York will
battle 1t out right down to
the finish line in the party's
national convention in Chi
cago next July. The stage
apparently has been set for
an early primary contest be-
tween the two unannounced
but very evident candidates
for the presidential nomina-
ton in New Hampshire-in-
deed the earliest presidential
primary on March 8. Organi-
cations backing both have
now been set I'D in that
State.
Obviously, the candidate
who wins this first primary
contest will receive a psy-
Geological lift. 1t even has
been suggested that which,
ever one fails to win this
contest virtually would be
through. But neither Mr..
Nixon nor Gov. Rockefeller
would be likely to give up
after this first brush.
1t will be recalled that the
late Senator Bob Taft of
Ohio lost the New Hamp-
shire primary to President
Eisenhower in 1852. It was
a boost for Gen. Eisenhower,
but it did not stop Senator
Taft, who continued the fight
for the nomination - and
might have won it If some
Of his supporters in a cou-
pie of Southern States had
not oveIplayed their hands.
1882 Contest Recalled
The pattern in the New
Hampshire Republican divi-
sion over Mr.. Nixon and Gov.
Rockefeller today is not un-
like that which existed in
1852 over Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower. Except for
Sherman Adams, then Gov
ernor of the State, many Of
the Republican wheel-horses
were for the Senator.
Today, Mr.. Nixon has in
his corner, among others,
Senator Styles Bridges, Sen
ator Norris Cotton and for
mer Secretary of Commerce
Sinclair Weeks. Gov. Wesley
Powell has declared his
neutrality but is believed to
favor Mr.. Nixon.
On the Rockefeller side,
Representative Chester E,
Morrow has been a prime
mover in the drive for the
Governor. Further, the New
Yorker is no stranger in
New Hampshire. He is a
graduate of Dartmouth Col
lege and has many friends.

Fare Rise Protested
The Evening Stars banner

The Evening Stars banner
headline cries out that o.
Roy Chalk is going after a Is
per cent increase in D. C.
Transit fares. If granted.
Chalk admits a Is. per cent
loss of patronage is likely.
And, one might add. the i'm
position of a hardship on the
remaining patrons who must
ride.
The cynical say he'll get
away with it, for the commits
sariat of the District of Co.
lumbia has no choice. Others
ask: Who's going to oppose
1t, who's going to represent
the vast, unorganized major
ity of Washington's riders?
The Public Utilities Com
mission, of course, is charged
with protecting the public's
veal, but Commissioners
George Hayes, Harold Kertz
and Alvin yelling must have
heavy popular support from
all segmentS of the Washing
ton community to act. Then.
afterward, the public must be
represented in the Federal
courts, if the commissions
decision is appealed.
If Washington had home
rule by a city council, rather
than by a eommissariat only
remotely responsible to the
public, it is doubtful if Chalk
could get away with it.
Mr.. Chalk claims employees
wage boosts in a recent.
three-year contract force him
to request the 25 per cent in
crease in fares. But a burn
ing question is, was it neces-
sary to raise wages at this
time? Weren't the going
wages adequate for the skills
required to operate trolleys
and buses? Moreover, was the
boost in wages given merely
as a fulcrum for leverage of
the fare boost? Even with a
Is per cent loss in fares, the
rs per cent raise will leave
Mr.. Chalk a fat 10 per cent
increase! Already he's earn
ing a handsome 6.15 per cent
on tangible property, better
than most U. S. corporations.
This daily transit patron
asks: "Will he be allowed to
get away with it?" 1t is high
time the interests of the rid
ing public, those who can't
afford taxis or private trans
port, be protected.
Charles p. Beazley.
Mr.. Chalk, president of
D. C. Transit, has filed an
application with District Pub
lie Utilities Commission for
an increase Of five cents in
fare. There they go again.
No doubt the unions put so
much pressure on this deal,
Mr.. Chalk decided to file.
But he is money-minded just
like the unions.
After the Supreme Court
decided the steel unions were
wrong, this comes up. 1t
should be stopped. There is
absolutely no justif1able rea-
son for the D. C. Transit to
get more money. Twenty five
cents would be contributory
to imitation and five times
more than the noun t
charged in the old days when
people were happier in every
respect. There is no sense in
raising prices on everything
for the remaining days of our
lives. Contributory to inf1a-
ton is what this writer calls
it.

Protests PRESSURE
I am concerned about tn

I am concerned about the
action by the Virginia
Electric Power Company
CVEPCO), by ostensible grant
of power to its legal represent
ative, to attempt a suave
power politics ultimatum"
to the town government Of
Vienna, Va, and the citi-
zens who attended the public
hearing on November 2 in
the Vienna Town Hall.
The technical presenta-
ton by VEPCO representa-
tives was excellent and re-
vealed much Of their desires
for locating a beautiful area
administrative Office, en-
gineering staff, service de-
partment, and storage facility
in a highly restrictive (R-16)
residential area of Vienna.
Equally as lucid was Mr..
Bixby, who presented the
peoples objections to locating
at the proposed site. At no
time did anyone indicate
objections to the installa-
ton of VEPCO facilities
within the town limits. AS a
matter of fact, I, along
with the most vehement OBJ
jector, agree that VEPO resi-
dence in Vienna is acceptable
and desirable, in a suitably
zoped area-i.e., light indus
trial or commercial.
1t is admitted that de-
pendence on VEPCO daily
supply of electrical power to
our town confronts us every
minute Of our lives, but that
right Of theirs is a grant from
the people and the individual
voters which control the
franchise under which
VEPCO operates. 1t is the
privilege, but still unbecoming
for a representative of
VEPCO to say: 81 am au-
thorized by VEPCO to in
form the Town of Vienna
and its citizens that if the
rezoning is not granted,
VEPCO will not seek another
spot in the Town of Vienna"
The citizens Of Vienna were
acting in accordance with the
spirit and contents Of the
master plan approved by the
representative Vienna Town
Council for the orderly
growth of a residential-com-
merical environment. In my
mind the community should
not be subjected to the kind
of pressure statements in
dicated above. This is the
first time to my knowledge
during my eight years of
official and/or unofficial
status in Vienna) that a re-
quest for rezoning has had
this attitude attached to 1t.

Dogs of famous men


There was Tell, pet Of
Pastor Martin Niemoller
when he was a child.
There was Bran, compan-
ion Of mythical warriors in
Ossian's poems.
There was Tray, Stephen
Fosters pet immortalized in
song.
There was Fala, pet of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The point is, we believe,
that you really don't haze
to be famous to like dos.
The dog is a part of us,
owing to his faithfulness, his
vim and vigor, and above all,
his liking for us.
So
AS it stands now, very few
other living things have any
affection for mankind.
At the best, they merely
tolerate us.
Maeterlinck said that the
hen, if it were large enough,
would fix with its cold eye
and devour us on sight.
Everyone has wondered, at
times, what would happen if
house flies were as large as
people.
Even horror movies have
been made on such themes.
Undoubtedly the birds, If
they were huge, would cause
mankind much worry.
There is a story by Bulwer-
Lytton called 1.-THE Coming
Race" in which all other
kinds of life were chased
and eXterminated.
1t seems to be coming down
to something like that among
humanity.
&& 50
1t is interesting, in looking
at the dog names, Tell, Bran,
Tray and Fala, to note that
they are just four letters,
each, and all except one just
one syllable.
The best pet names are
short names, and usually the
longer ones are shortened. We
noted not long ago the photo
Of a fine dachshund named
Tumbalena. Would be will
ing to bet that she is called
Lena!
Dog names go in fashions.
At one time in America the
name Rover was tops in
canine terminology. Also,
Fido. Both of these ex-
plicitly referred to good dog
traits, roaming and faithful
ness.
Then the fashion changed
and Bozo became the uni
versal favorite.
At one time there were
more BozoS than any other
named dog.
Today's dog owner is more
likely to name his four-leg-
ged friends in a logical
fashion.
For instance, an Irish
setter mostly becomes Pat,
which is fair enough.
A dog with white feet
comes up as Boots.
Naming after color, quite
the thing among cats. is not
done so much when it comes
to dogs, although now and
then there will be q Blackie.

edy such as the one near
Charlottesville, Va, certainly
more study should be given
to finding a means by which
airline passengers could have
the opportunity to evacuate
the plane in time.
One suggestion would be
the use of an election appa-
ratus similar to the type
used by jets. AS soon as an
airplane is in imminent dan
ger of coming in contact with
another plane or object, doors
automatically opening out
from every seat on the plane
would open and the passen-
gers (seat, safety belt and
alb would be elected from
the plane, and because of a
parachute attachment the
passenger would descend in
a comparatively safe man
ner. Another means might be
to have a trapdoor in the
center opening out instead
of individual doors.
A way must be found to
help eliminate the large num-
ber of deaths in the air. OF
course, I believe in preven-
tive study, but accidents Of
misjudgment and unavoid-
able occurrence must be con-
sidered and an answer be
found to save lives.
Mrs. Carl Levin.
Editors note: Preliminary
investigations indicate that
such a device as that pro-
posed by Mrs. Levin would
have been of no use in the
sudden Charlottesville crash.)
