~The Indianapolis Star does publish the advertising of the Tenants Housing Service, and has continued todo so even after scores of complaints of dubious operation had been made, after the Better Business Bureau had listed it as a “racket” and after its officers had failed to show the Bifteay evidence of ome single instance inf which it had car-

d out its commitments to customers.

” » » . . ” THIS COMPANY, which also has been under investi gation in Cleveland, collects $5 from a person who wishes to rent a home. If it finds him a home to rent it collects an

additional $20.

~ More than 28 persons have compiained that they paid the $5 fee, waited for months, and never were directed to

any homes for rent.

* During this whole period Tenants Hotising Service continued to advertise that it had homes for rent. The company today produced a list of 116 persons for whom it said rental homes had been obtained over the past four months of its operation. It has offered no information as to the number of persons who have paid its $5 fee and

were not referred to any homes for rent,

Under the circumstances we feel it is the duty of a newspaper to publish the facts for the guidance of the hundreds of families in desperate need of rental homes.

And of course, under no circumstances,

is Times policy

or Times publication of news ever influenced in even the slightest degree by any advertising or any advertiser.

Get on With the Job

PRESIDENT TRUMAN has asked the National Security " Board to study the standards by which government departments determine whether their employees, or poten-

tial employees, are good “security risks.”

Poor “security risks” are defined as employees—not necessarily disloyal—who are carelass or irresponsible. They may be loose talkers, or keep questionable company or have peculiar habits. They can be just as dangerous to

national security as disloyal employees.

Mr. Truman says there is an “acute” need for uniform standards by which to judge security risks, and for some

central agency to hear appeals.

He should have no trouble in persuading the National Security Board to carry out his assignment. For he is its chairman, and two of its members, who probably have more responsibility for national security than any others save the President himself, are Secretary of State Acheson and

Secretary of Defense Marshall.

What Mr. Truman suggests is plausible. His concern for protecting individuals from unjust treatment is good. But concern for national security should be paramount; and the important thing is to get on with the job of ridding the government of poor security risks—employees who are not,

for one reason or another, trustworthy.

Ever since his “red herring’ remark three years ago, Mr. Truman has temporized with this issue. The job still

is undone.

The uniform test of government employees as security risks should be simple enough: Are they, by ordinary standards of common sense, persons whom it is safe to trust with information and responsibilities vital to national security?

Hint to Safe Drivers THE COST of automobile

insurance is soaring.

In the last two months, the Wall Street Journal reports, 107 leading insurance companies have raised rates in 22 states, including Indiana, on policies covering injuries by cars to persons and property, in some cases by as much

as 30 per cent.

Those companies are expected to increase such rates in other states. Other companies doubtless will follow suit. And similar boosts for fire, theft and collision insurance are

forecast.

In part, of coursey the rate raises are due to inflation, which has hiked the cost of repairing damage to people and property. In part they may be due to the-wide design of current, car bodies, which makes. what used to be a

minor sideswipe a major repair job. » " ”

BUT by far the greatest factor is

bad

driving With

a record number of automobiles in use, speeding, careless

driving, drunken driving and other causing more accidents.

human faults

are

Unfortunately, the rate increases apply to all car

owners who buy insurance. This

means

that careful,

sensible drivers are penalized for the misbehavior of the speeders, the reckless, the drunks and the nuts who don't know how to act sensibly behind a steering wheel What to do about that injustice? Well, for one thing, it might help a lot if safe drivers would use all the influence they can muster for strict enforcement of traffic laws.

* This Is the Coy Year

Iv politics there are lots of cycles.

seems to be a swing from frankness to coyness and so on,

around the circle.

- During the 81st Congress Rep. Winfleld K. ‘Denton, Evansville Democrat, got a bill providing for a roving judge for the state approved in As a member of the Senate Judiciary Com-

scheduled to pilot’it through the Senate. But the Congress was over and no action taken on it and now new bills are pending in both Houses in this 82d Congress.

Denies Bottling Bill

SEN. JENNER SAID that he realized the

‘additional need for the measure in view of - Judge Swygert's illness. He promptly dented

that he had purposely kept the bill bottled up in committee in the hope that the GOP will elect a President next year and a Republican would be named to the new judgeship. He also denied that he had any great clamor from lawyers or bar associations about pressing the measure more promptly than he

has done, the junior Senator from Indiana said.’

“If the Hoosier lawyers are mad at me they haven't been writing about it,” he laughed. “I haven't heard a word on the judgeship bill dately.” \ As a close associate of powerful Sen. Pat McCarran (D. Nev.), judiciary committee chair man, Sen, Jenner confidently predicted that the new Indiana judgeship will be among 13 to be included for the country in an omnibus bill to be ‘reported out shortly. : “We just closed hearings on these various judgeships and decided on 13,” he said. “How soon Sen. McCarran will report them, I cannot say for sure at this time, He is away for a couple of weeks, so it will not be until after he gets back in any case.”

Truman Starts Row

PRESIDENT TRUMAN kicked up a row last week by appointing three federal judgef in Illinois, with Sen. Paul Douglas (D. IIL), only approving one of them. They were said to be handpicked by former Sen. Scott Lucas, Democratic floor leader in the 81st Congress, who was defeated by Republican Everett McKinley Dirk-

sen. ree

A somewhat similar interparty fuss was kicked up in Indiana when Judge Steckler was appointed. He was named by President Truman as the organization candidate baeked by Democratic National Committeeman Frank M. MeHale and his friend, Democratic National Chair man Willlam D. Boyle Jr. The President reported at one time that he had someone else in mind. Mr. Denton himself was among those prominently mentioned. He, would like to have the new judgeship, if it is created. : In arguing for repassage of his bill by the House, Mr. Denton has figures showing that the northern Imdiana district had 308 cases commenced, 205 terminated and 326 pending during the term ending June 30, 1850, and the southern district 554 commenced, 482 terminated and 365 pending.

Indiana Dockets Heavy

BASED ON POPULATION, the Indiana federal courts have the greatest case load in the country and were cited as such by the federal judicial council in recommending to Congress that a new roving judge be added in the state. Sen. Jenner said ha is reconciled to the fact that if the appointment is made by President Truman it will not be a Republican. He cited the fact that since the late Franklin D. Roosevelt became President some 18 years ago there have been 330 judges appointed to the lifetime terms on the federal benches and only 19 have been Republicans.

Fancy Cars With Make Insurance

WASHINGTON, July 18—I claim there is nothing obscene about an automobile tire. It need not be clad, for modesty’s sake, in tin pants with bujit-in electric lights. ‘Two .long years ago I pointed this out to the surrealists who design automobiles in Detroit. They chose to ignore me, except for a couple who sent me insulting telegrams hinting that what I needed was a horse. To show how wrong I was they made still bigger the bustles of tortured steel with which they hid from public view the wheels of. their sedans. ‘Yah,” they said to me.. . So now automobile insurance rates are going up drastically. This is because too many motorists are bumping into each other. But what used to be a dimpled fender has become a catastrophe. That's not just oldfashioned Othman talking, either. The Association of Casualty and Surety Companies is in my corner, r It says. and T quote, that in 1840 a fender was a simple thing designed to keep the mud ‘from splashing on the passengers. Accordionpleat it and the insurance company could get a new one installed for about #10, Today an automobile fender's likely to include-half the side of the car. If it's in front it has a headlight built into it and also a parking lamp. If it's in the rear it has tail lights, stop lights and turn signals installed, It also has skirts so no hint of tire can be seen by passersby. That is why the average price of replacing a fender on a 1951 model is $90, the insurance companies announced.

Sounded Bitter

NO WONDER, they said, they had to rais2 their premiums. They sounded bitter about it. Bitterer even than motorist Othman. They mentioned curved windshields as expensive items to replace when cracked and windows tinted blue like sunglasses as costlier still. It used to be, they continued, that when an automobile skidded into a post, a new radiator cost around £100 installed. Today the same skid. results in a cascade of silvery metal tinkling to earth and the repair bill is $290. So the insurance agents have written a sad little booklet to include with the bad news when policies of their customers expire. All these things and others they mention as reasons for the high cost of insurawfe today. Their idea seems to be if automobiliats want cheaper insurance they'll demand that auto makers design their classy club coupes in the fashion of a simpler day. This I have been demanding for a long time The motorcar makers claim I am not sin-

of these ideologies, : ‘ weld ; . In the first place few of our national acts can be rightly appraised until their operation is observed. Some that were designed with the best intentions have proven to be mistakes because of contingencies that arose after their enactment. Some that are good are now being assailed by the Republicans. because they are designed to and do help the masses and take from the wealthy and powerful groups some ‘of their unjust power. People writing for political effect cannot be relied upon to state the facts, or place the laws in their rightful place. For this reason there is now being employed a sales force larger than that of any business there is whose avowed purpose is to educate the.people and make them conscious of the blessings of our nation and warning them of the great danger, to our way of life, which the Democrats have created. > & IT'S SUCH transparent Republican propaganda that i} will convince or scare few and bring in few converts, They are only striving to raise the Republican Party from the depths created by themselves and place them again in power where they can take away from the - people all the freedom they have gained from

.the Democrats in the last 20 years. They- will

no doubt emerge, if they do emerge, smelling no sweeter than they did before being buried. To blame administrations for depressions as the writer in question often does betrays his ignorance of facts or is designed with a full knowledge of facts to fool the people. I do not give all the credit to the Demoerats for our present prosperity. I know as well as anyone that it's false and cannot continue indefinitely without some reforms in our system.

‘How About Prices?’

MR. EDITOR: : : 1 would like for someone in the know to inform me, and other home-buyers, why the real estate people do not include in their ads the price asked, and the exact address of the property being offered for sale. Can you imagine retail stores advertising, in flowery detail, a product that they want to sell, and not mentioning the price of the article, nor even including the address where the article is being displayed? Every home-buyer has a location preference, and every one has a price that he can afford to undertake, and it seems to me that realtors exclude the most ,important informa-

- tion when they fail to include these details,

It is a complete waste of time to have to call the realtor to ask the price and address of a house advertised, and after having secured this information, to discover that the price is either too cheap or too expensive for your homebuying budget, or to discover that the address is: in a neighborhood that does not interest you in the least. —E. F. Bayless, 3844 Guilford Ave.

Reds Conjure Up ‘Youth Festival’

NEW YORK, July 18—Secretary of State Dean Acheson has been asked to make a special investigation of a series of passport applications from American youth to go to East Berlin. They're part of a Cominform-inspired drive, openly conducted in New York City over the past few months, to recruit young people here for a worldwide Communist “Youth Peace Festival” in the Soviet zone of the German capital. It will be held Aug. 5-10. Termed “the greatest international get-together. of young people in history” the festival will be dominated by “delegates” from. the Soviet Union and other Iron Curtain countries. But it's working for a large turnout from the democracies while, at the game time, promising to produce 282 ‘youth delegates” . from North Korea. Rep. Isidore Dollinger (D. N. Y.) has written Secretary Acheson urging that the State Department use the utmost caution before issuing any passports. Under the heading, “No Passports for Treason,” he enclosed from July 9 Congressional Record an article by Walter K. Lewis published

Robeson «SON, too

in the New Leader, New York weekly newspaper, The United States ‘“propaganda-drop” for

the festival, according to the New Leader, calls itself the Committee for International Student Co-operation, with offices here. Through this committee are fed communiques from Prague, Budapest, East Berlin and Moscow. The applicants are pre-screened by a so-called committee for world youth friendship and cultural exchange here, o From the latter, “American youngsters” are awaiting instructions on how to proceed to East Berlin, said the New Leader, despite the fact” the State Department will not ordinarily

‘grant passports for travel behind ‘the * Iron Curtain. Festival sponsors boast that American youth not only have refused to volunteer for “the aggression in Korea,” but “in a high percentage of cases didn't answer the call of their draft board.” -

Close Inspection LEADER of the U. 8. wing is Paul Robeson Jr., son of the Negro baritone who has dedicated himself to the case of communism. Forms for attending the Berlin festival inquire minutely into the background of the applicants, who are instructed to submit three passport photos for use abroad. They're offered two weeks in East Berlin at a cost of $30, including food, board and admission to all events. . From Red Chiha Norway, South America, Africa, even Australia, a total of 25,000 delegates will compete in cultural and sports competitions. And “international peace relays” are being staged on five continents to whoop up the Soviet version of peace. There also will be “International student conferences” addressed by “world-renowned authorities.” The affair i&8 the Cominform’'s most ambitious youth front to date.

RIOT IN IRAN . .. By Clyde Farnsworth

Politics Blamed for Blood Bath

TEHRAN, July 18 The rioting in Majlis Square—which ended in the death of at least 15 Iranians Sunday-—-was a blood sacrifice to satisfy Iran's.political impulses. It arose from attempts to impress or intimidate W. Averell Harriman, President Truman's special envoy, who is here to try to bring about a settlement of the Iranian oil crisis. The deaths rezuited from a mixture of nationaliesm and communism so violent as to resemble the ancient religious fanaticism which sometimes demanded the sacrifice of human blood to satisfy its unreasoning zealots, Mr. Harriman is fingering something here beyond his experience, although you wouldn't have guessed it from the happy smile with which he and Premier Mohammed Mossadegh were photographed shaking hands Monday. Bo ds i

The Communist-manipulated crowd was built around mourning families of the deceased. - Stones were thrown at hospital guards and troops finally were called to enforce Iran's martial law on illicit public assembly.
