 sos, sos, Motorship Patter- son ashore twenty miles south Yakutat near Cape FairWeather. We are breaking up slowly. Send help"
 Thus was the vast lifesaving machinery of the United States Coast Guard put into action for one of the most dramatic rescues in the recent history of Alaska. The story Ship Wreck" by Stan Lillian, in the March issue of the Alaska Sportsman gives a thrill ing detail a first-hand account of a shipwreck and subsequent res cue that occupied the headlines in newspaper stories and radio broadcasts throughout the nation for two weeks prior to Christ mas.
 Another thrilling drama in this new issue of the Sportsman which has just been published is included in Kenneth L. Cohen's s Letters of a King Cove School teacher entitled Battle for Life" It tells the story of hardy Alaskan who was left on the beach of the bleak and desolate Alaska Peninsula without food, clothing. fire, or weapons when his small boat was wrecked in the boiling surf. His companion was drowned in the wreck. The story of his sufferings and sub sequent rescue makes this install ment the most thrilling of the series.
 c. M. Archbold of the U. s. Forest Service tells of the work that the Service is doing to re- store the ancient totem poles and native dwellings of Alaska to their original state in his article, Restoration. 1t is an authentic description of the work being carried on, and he explains how the government is preserving these historic relics for the en- joyment and enlightenment of tourists and future generations of Alaskans.

The Harvest

The first holiday of summer has
passed and, as usual with summer
holidays, the week end is followed by
a week of funeral services and years
of mourning for hundreds of families.
A national checkup of the news
lists three hundred and seventy-two
violent deaths credited to the four
day period of fun and relaxation. OF
these, two hundred and five died in
traffic accidents and eighty-five were
drowned. Gathered together on
national basis, these figures are an
appalling commentary on modern
life. And the same may be written
after any holiday which comes at
season when the weather permits
millions to turn to the out-of- doors
for their pleasure. But the record is
no more horrible than the day-by-
day statistics which are being writ

marks were evidently made to give the
impression that the so-called conserva-

huge expenditures should be wholly
stopped, or greatly curtailed, at once.
Now, my observation is that the con-
servatives realize that such radical
action would be impracticable and un-
wise, and that what they seek most is
simply, at this time, such reasonable
curtallment as would indicate a begin

but which somehow work their way
into general circulation.
Sometimes an erroneous reference Is
made in some work, picked up by others,
and goes on its way merrily through
the years, until to brand it false is to
md no believers. It Is too firmly
seated in folk tradition.
Books on home gardening are among
the worst sufferers
Old and exploded ideas are solemnIy
set down as fact. Newcomers to the
ancient art accept, find them false:
sometimes they are so in thrall to the
printed word that they are unwilling to
believe their own findings.
Often they believe their own eyes. but
hesitate to contradict the writer, even in
their own minds, so wash around be-
tween two ideas for the rest of their
gardening lives.
Is lime good for grass?
For many years it was held so, then a
new school of lawn grass thought came
along and branded it bad, now there is
reversal Of sentiment and lime is in
good standing again.

Those who really respect facts will be
unwilling to make funny story out of
false finding, just on the long shot
that some serious person will swallow it.
The serious-minded person feels that
truth and fiction ought to be kept in
their own compartments and not mixed
up just for the dubious fun of mixing
them.
The person who INDUCES in this phase
OF conversation, taking in the serious,
much to his evident delight, is prompted
to do it, no doubt, by the compelling
challenge of the other
The serious mind is a perpetual prod
to the joker. 1t pulls him, often against
his own wish, into making statements
which he knows to be untrue, but which
he feels sure the other will accept as
fact.
So the world is full of half facts at all
times, on many subjects, partly the result
OF the desire to kid" some one, partly
the inability to resist it,
All serious-minded persons who feel
that jokes should plainly be labeled, es-
pecially when coming from an expert
who ought to know what he is talking
about. must see to it, as best they can,
that they become suspicious.

known jokers without investigation aft

spirits in the annual rediscovery of
freedom is at hand. Last year this
period was marked by series of
deaths and injuries involving chill
dren of school age which shocked the
entire city This year the same prob
lens are present. They are problems
which call for careful guidance by
officials and parents and, most OF all,
for an alert cooperation on the part
of every person driving an automo-
bile, and of the children themselves.
Six children have been killed here
so far this year. The total traffic toll
is thirty-seven, four more than at
the same time a year ago. OF these,
thirty-one were pedestrians. If
Washington is to make an improve
ment, start must be made at once.
Such a start can be made by exer-
cising particular care during the next
three months in protecting the chill

Montgomery Assessor

In selecting William P. Richards to
direct the general reassessment OF
real estate in Montgomery County,
the county commissioners have en-
trusted difficult task to a compe-
tent man. The former District of
Columbia assessor was highly in
dorsed for the position by the Brook
ings Institution and the county board
wisely discarded politics in filling a
post that required unusual technical
and administrative ability, expert
ence and integrity such as Mr.. Rich
ards possesses.
In his years of service with the
District, Mr.. Richards became known
as an assessor who carried out the
provision of the law providing that
property should be assessed at 100
per cent valuation. A similar law
prevails in Maryland, although, in
general, property in that State is as
sessed at considerably less. 1t will
be interesting to see the result of
the application OF Mr.. Richards
methods in the Free State.
The purpose Of the reassessment
primarily is to equalize valuations in
county that has had no general
assessment for more than a decade.
Such general review of the valua-
tions is scheduled regularly every
five years in Maryland, but has been
postponed several times by recent
legislatures since the depression. In
the meantime Montgomery County
has enjoyed tremendous growth
and it is reported that many inequi-
ties exist, particularly in CONNER
cial properties.
1t is reassuring to the county's citi-
zens to know that the task which the
county board admits "is the most
difficult and important work facing
it during the coming year" has been
intrusted to an outsider, free Of local
entanglements, whose record justi-
fles the prophecy that, II inequities
exist, he will discover and do all that
is humanity possible to eliminate
them.

Resents Admission Fee
To Historic Buildings.
By Thomas r. Henri.
70 the Editor of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
I wish to protest against the recent
decisions to charge admission to three of
Americas greatest shrines-Ford's The
ater, where Lincoln was shot; the house
in which he died, and the Custis-Lee
mansion in Arlington National Cemetery.
There is no reason why these build
ings should be commercialized and the
average person prevented from entering
them while millions of dollars are being
spent, and have been spent, on Govern
ment projects and buildings.
Just to visit the three places would
cost one 80 cents. Imagine how unfair
1t would be to the one acting as host
to ten or more people and this happen
ing many times during the year. Think
of those who cannot pay the charges.
It is not only unfair to the American
people but an act of desecration to the
memory of Lincoln and Lee to CONNER
cialize the buildings associated with their
names. VINCENT WALSH.

an oversight, but he failed to put
Labor Act revision on the must"
program. Yet If the administration
really wants to allay justified
criticism of the Labor Law, 1t is
essential that the set be broad
ened SO as to give employers a
more even break" Industry expects
and deserves further encouragement
in the way of tax overhaul to elm
mate business deterrents, a freezing
of Social Security pay roll taxes and
relief for railroads. Business also
is watching anxiously the pend
ing relief bill, which calls for con-
tinuation of the spending program
to the tune of more than one and
three-quarters billions of dollars.
The relief needs must be met, Of
course, but the country will want
some assurance that waste, corrup-
ton and politics will be eliminated
from relief administration. Incl
dentally, the Hatch bill to take poll
tics out of relief seems to have been
sidetracked in the House. 1t should
be pried loose before there is serious
talk of adjournment.
AS for neutrality, there is no more
urgent problem before the Congress
today, yet there has been DISPOSE
tion on the part of many legislators
to let this admittedly difficult prob
lem 60 by the boards. Only Secretary
Hulrs intervention last week revived
prospects of revision of the Neu-
trality Act at this session. There
will be battle with the forces of iso-
lationism when the Hull plan reaches
the f1oor-especially in the Senate
and vigorous leadership by admins
tration strategists will be required to
effect passage of this most important
instrument of peace. The future well
fare Of the whole nation, perhaps of
democracy itself, may depend on
whether this Congress takes action
on the neutrality problem-and on
the nature of the action taken. Ger
tainly this responsibility is not one
to be taken lightly by Congress in
rejecting upon the destinations of
adjournment.
