Admiral Mccain

Nine years ago, when he was fifty
two years old, Vice Admiral John
Sidney McCain-at that time a cap
tain-had served on virtually every
type of naval vessel. But he was a
stranger to flying, and so, with the
enthusiasm of midshipman, he
went through training at Pensacola
and won his wings at period in life
when most men have long since
stopped venturing.
Enthusiasm, vigor, youthful
heart, lively imagination. a quick,
salty sense of humor and an adven-
turesome spirit - these were the
qualities that made him a truly
great sea commander. After Pensa-
cola. his thoughts were concen-
trated on aerial tactics and strategy,
and, not long after Pearl Harbor, he
was in charge of aircraft in the
South Pacific. winning the Distin-
guished Service Medal for his role at
Guadalcanal and then returning
here to become, in turn, head of the
Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics and
deputy chief of naval operations for
air.
To meet Admiral Mccain when he
was in Washington was to meet a
man eager to get out into the Pacific
as soon as possible to come person.
ally to grips with q foe he despised.
His wishes in this respect were
finally satisfied during the summer
of last year when he began a combat
career which saw him cover the

Chipsiie

ChipmunkS are welcome and
familiar part of the countryside.
They scurry along the rail fences
and stonewalls. They hustle around
the farm yard and dash hither and
yon in the orchard. They hustle
about the garden and through the
jungle of weeds behind the icehouse.
They keep a weather eye out for the
farm cat and for Shep, the collie
At the first sign of danger, the chip
munks set up great hue with their
staccato "chuck-chuck-chuck."
Tomas stratus is handsome,
debonair little fellow. He has a
nicely modelled, plump body. His
eyes are bright and beady; his wide,
short ears constantly move as they
serve as radar detectors. The dark
stripes in his fur coat add a chic
note of contrast to his costume.
Tomias likes to get bit of food and
then hop to vantage point while
he chews on it. Then he tucks it
into capacious cheeks and forages
for more. When he gets both cheeks
filled he is comical-looking tyke
as he sits on his stern, tail out be-
hind him. tiny little paws holding
more food to his mouth.
Now is the time when Chipsie is
on the 60 from dawn to sunset, stor-
ing food for the long season of sleep.
His burrow is long and complka ted,
sometimes running twenty to thirty
feet underground Somewhere in
the tunnel he builds bulky nest of
leaves and grass. a home for the
winter. In side pockets of the tun-
mel he stores nuts and seeds and off
and on during the winter he wakes
from his semihibernating state to
eat meal.
Chipsie can be a nuisance around
the farm. He is not averse to work
ing his way into the corncrib or
exploring the grain room in the
barn. But by and large, the country
man likes the little fellows. They
add bit of life and color to the
farmstead. And as a farmer works
around his buildings, getting ready
for winter, he smiles as Tamias
scampers to the top of a fence post
and chews away on morsel Of food
A man knows that his wild friends
of field and wood, like himself, are
getting ready for the long winter
! months ahead.

For nearly IL years I've watched
the scenery in this town of Wash
ington and, I believe, roughly speak
ing, there are about three types Of
men in public Office. And these three
types in public life are only reflec-
tions of the same kinds of people
across the nation.
First, there is the type of man
and of mind in public and private
life who thinks he has all the
answers. If he should not by some
chance have a specific answer at the
moment, he can personally get 1t.
He is self-contained and self-suffi-
cient, easily given, therefore, to vim
dictiveness. Often this kind of per-
son is unable to hold his own in a
discussion based on clear, quiet rea-
son, so his way of handling issues is
to assert whatever authority his
position in business or politics may
give him. This type of person might
be called the social pagan. The
secrets of an hour like this are
hardly to be found in his hands.
The second type of person in pub
lie and private life is the man who
believes that the only light and wis
dom we ever will possess is within
ourselves, that in man alone is his
only hope, that man is literally the
maker of his destiny and the master
of his fate. This kind of man may
seem like the first type, but here is
the difference: The first man asserts
that he has light; this second type
is constantly searching for light. At
best he is very sacrificial, quite
humble, works hard, is generous and
full of good will, brave but not vim
dictive, assertive only within cul-
tured control. He bows reverentiy
at the shrine OF human personality,
but at no other shrine. He believes
that all the wisdom we can expect
must be woven within ourselves as a
spider spins his web out of his own
body. You recognize that l have
been describing the pure humanist.
Personally, I have great apprecia-
ton for such man.
But there is a third type of man
Evening star., 1945-09-09

IL is not as Struttlng cOnQuerOr
that General Macarthur has moved
into Tokyo and ordered the Stars
and Stripes formally raised there,
for the first time in history, above
the ensign of the Land of the Rising
Sun.
In the simple and unpretentious
ceremony marking the event, the
supreme commander for the Allied
powers in Japan limited his words
to single powerful sentence full
of great meaning and promise for
the future. Have our country's flag
unfurled," he said, "and in Tokyo's
sun let it wave In it's full glory as a
symbol of hope for the oppressed
and as a harbinger of victory for
the right"
The words are fully in keeping
with what General Macarthur said
aboard the U. S. S. Missouri just
before the Japanese affixed their
signatures to the fateful instrument
of unconditional surrender. At that
time, speaking in Lincolnesque terms
against "a spirit of distrust, malice
and hatred" he called upon victors
and vanquished alike ito rise to that
higher dignity" which alone makes
possible "a world founded upon faith
and understandings world of
freedom, tolerance and justice"
1t is not to be supposed, of course,
that General Macarthur contem-
plates soft treatment for the totally
beaten Japanese. Acting in the
interest not only of America but
OF all the Allies, he will apply to the
full the terms of the Potsdam ulti-
matum, which Japan accepted un-
conditionally in its surrender. The
country, besides being occupied, is
to be shorn of its militaristic leader
ship, completely disarmed and re-
duced in territory to it's home islands
and such minor islands as we de-
termine." In addition, it is to pay
reparationS in kind, it is to lose
industries capable of military pro-
duction, and its war criminals are
to be punished.
These penalties are stern, but they
are just and necessary as we'll, and
we need not doubt that they will be
exacted. At the same time, how
ever, the Potsdam terms hold out
this promise: That the japanese will
not be enslaved, that their disarmed
troops will be allowed to return to
their families and make a living,
that the homeland will be permitted
to maintain enough industries to
support its economy, that it will
have access to essential raw mate
rialS and be able eventually to par
ticipate in world trade, that freedom
of speech, religion and thought will
be established and, finally, that the
occupation will end as soon as the
Allies achieve their objectives and a
peacefully inclined and responsible
native government Is set up in &C
cordance with the freely expressed
popular will.

Rent-ControI Extension

The Districts rent-control law will
have to be extended for another
year beyond the present expiration
date of December 81 if we are to
avoid confusion worse confounded
from the continued housing short
age
Some of the same considerations
which prompted leaders in the real
estate business to take the initiative
and work out an acceptable rent
control law for the District at the
beginning of the war should inf1u-
ence them now to seek another
years extension. Those considera-
tions we're based on the realization
that crowded Washington made
some form of control inevitable
Experience with highly unsatis-
factory law in the First World War
taught the lesson that, unless the
people most affected by rent control
were able to agree on fair law,
others would do it for them. In
stead of waiting for rental profiteers
to give bad name to all landlords,
responsible elements in the COM
munity agreed on a form of rent
control which has been, on the
whole, satisfactory.
There is little prospect that the
housing shortage, still so acute, will
be relieved within the near future.
If rent control were lifted now, the
situation might become chaotic.
But an extension of the law for an
other year should be based on
realization that the only solution
of the housing shortage is new con-
struction and every possible in
centive should be held out to stimu-
late that construction. While con-
troll of rents is temporarily neces-
sary, such control at its best is a
damper on private initiative and
discourages the healthy competition
for tenant patronage which pro.

ers up the courage of the social

humanity in high regard, practices

that mans utmost must be crowned

We are in the midst Of a world pic
ture where hardly any problem is
nailed down, where our world is
filled with loose planks, and all loose
at the same time. Thus, fronted with
such gigantic responsibilities in the
next decade, how we do need some
thing of the courage of the self
assertive man, but with much more
light and accountability than he pos
sesses; how we do need something
of the patience and respect for all
men of the humaniSt-but beyond
both of these, our moment calls for
men in public position and private
trust who make daily effort and
prayer to open their minds to eternal
light and guidance, TO turn their
lives into the free instruments and
channels of Gods purposes That
same effort. so resolutely done by
some Of the founding fathers of this
republic, must be done now. AS George
Washington gloriously phrased this

1t is not hard to understand why
this man is dead today. AS his per-
sonai physician declares, ne gave his
life for his country. Happily, he
lived long enough to witness the
formal surrender of the japanese,
but the complete fatigue he suffered
from months of the most violent
kind of combat was too much even
for his fighting heart. Holder of the
Navy Cross for extraordinary hero
ism, he had few rivals and probably
no superiors as a commander of air
craft carriers, which he seemed
literally to have loved. The Nation
has lost one of it's best sons.

Senator Bilbo's initial opposition
to continuation of local rent con-

ure to differentiate between the
local law, applying to the District

which is administered in many
other communities by the OPA. The
OPA itself is lifting rent control i'm

Welcome From the Heart

WaShlngtOn'S welcome to Gen
eral Wainwright tomorrow will come
from the heart when we remember
what he did and what he stood for.
1t is appropriate, in recalling
those things, to reprint President
Roosevelt's message to him the day
before Corregidor fell. Written as
a valedictory, it becomes a fitting
salutation to a brave soldier home
from the wars:
During recent weeks we have
been following with growing admi-
ration the day-to-day accounts of
your heroic stand against the
mounting intensity of lombard
ment by enemy planes and heavy
siege guns.
In spite of all the handicaps of
complete isolation, lack of food and
ammunition, you have given the
world shining example of patriotic
fortitude and self-sacrifice.
THE American people ask no
finer example of tenacity, resource
fulness and steadfast courage. The
calm determination of your leader
ship in desperate situation sets a
standard of duty for our soldiers
throughout the world.
In every camp and on every
naval vessel soldiers, sailors and
marines are inspired by the gal
liant struggle of their comrades in
the Philippines. The workmen in
our shipyards and munitions plants
redouble their efforts because of
your example You and your de-
voted followers have become the
living symbols of our war aims and
the guarantee of victory"
With that message from the Pres
tdent of May 6, 1912, in mind, we
might also remember one of the
final radiograms from VAIN
wright's Rock" tapped out by a
Signal Corps operator, Irving Strob-

surrender. The Jig is up. Every
body bawling like a baby. They
are piling dead and wounded in our
tunnel. I know now how a
mouse feels, caught in trap wait
ing for guys to come along and
finish it up"
And some hours later a japanese
correspondent was writing to his
paper in Tokyo: The defeated
American commander presented a
pitiful sight as he sat in the faint
glimmer of candlelight, his head
held in both hands, his eyes staring
at the ground. When the japanese
commander entered the room with
his hands gripping the handle of a
sword, Wainwright and his aides
stood at rigid attention and
they showed they were soldiers

Remembering these things, it
should be easy to cheer as General
Wainwright rides toward Capitol
Hill tomorrow.

But all of this is beside the point. If
we discount the possibility that control
of the Russian government might some
day pass into the hands of men who
would be hostile toward the United
States, the fact remains that even with
a presumably friendly government in
power in the U. S. S. r., assuming that
Russia had perfected an atomic rocket or
something of the sort, we would never
know moments freedom from the fear
that some day it might be used against
us. AS long as some other nation has
the power to destroy us we will never
be able to rest on the assumption that
the power will not be used We would
spend the rest of our days under the
shadow of a lurking anxiety, and our
plight would be aggravated by the fact
that, whether realistic or not in the
light of changed conditions, our ma
tional policy most probably will con-
tinue to be what it was on the eve of
Pearl Harbor-when all of our military
commanders were instructed that, if war
was dnevitable, the President wanted the
Japanese to commit the first overt act.
In the future, in event of war, the ma
ton which waits for an enemy to strike
first can expect to be destroyed by that
first blow, and yet it is a virtual GER
tainty that that is what this country
will do. Therefore, our best hope lies in
working out some arrangement for in
