says, encouraged people to believe that
Washington can do everything, provide
everything and never reckon the cost.
But 1t isn't the cost alone which dis
turbs the Dallas Diogenes, as he was
once called. It is the sinister drug
which is thus administered to local COM
munities and States and persons. When
the pride and self-reliance of local COM
munities are weakened. Mr.. Summers
says, the Nations strength is gone.
When Washington cares for the poor
and unfortunate the community grows
calious and cold. When Federal law
pursues criminals everywhere, local law
enforcement becomes lazy onlooker.
This passionate belief of Mr.. Sum-
ner's is in his speeches. linked with q
reverential bow to the Deity. His close
association with the Lord is always
clear, and the Lord is a Jeffersonian.

Of American history, the founding

Films of Brituin
From the Manchester Guardian.


British governments, of whatever
party, are apt to take a narrow and
somewhat sordid view of the importance
of the arts. 1t was to be expected that
before any action was taken, even by
Labor government, on the report Of
the Committee on Monopolistic Ten
denotes in the Film Industry. the treas
ury would want to see how j. A. Ranks
policy would work out in terms of
foreign exchange. . 1t is therefore
with no less surprise than satisfaction
that We find Minister Herbert
Morrison telling British producers not
to initiate what is indigenous to Holly
wood but to show the British and their
lives and institutions as they really
are The lord president Is evidently
we'll aware that the advantage to the
nation of producing films which sin
cerely portray the hopes and efforts Of
its people is not to be measured only
in dollars, and that the trade in films
is of less value than the trade which
follows the film.

Chairman Hatton w. Summers OF the
House Judiciary Committee has an
nounced that his retirement will take
place at the end of this term, after "a
years service. The loss to the House will
be amply compensated, however, py the
advice which this philosopher will, un-
fettered by routine after his retirement,
give to the country. For he is our lore
most advocate of local and personal re-
sponsibility in Government.
Some years ago, at the request of the
President, it was my duty to consult
Hatton Summers about some adminlstra-
ton bills concerning Federal crimes, in
cluding racketeering. The bills were hast
lily drawn and, in effect, proposed dan
gerous extensions of Federal power. The
President, who was then running Con-
gress over the White House telephone,
had told Mr.. Summers that he wanted
them to pass. The sturdy Congressman
from Dallas was no man to suffer Execu-
tive direction. He told the President in
his quiet way that the Judiciary Com
mittee and the House would use their
own Judgment about the bills. He was
clearly angry about it. The bills were
examined, sorted over, and the less
harmful ones passed. The rest were
killed, President or no President.
On that occasion, as In many sin
stances since, Mr.. Summers delivered
himself of his views on Government
power, local self-government and indi-
vidual responsibility.
Mr.. Summers, who has prudently laid
aside property basis for independence
in years ahead, will give his efforts to
hammering home to his fellow -coun-
trymen a number of salty and sound
truths. He has deeply deplored the
trend toward Federal help for this OF

No Military Alliances

In statement sent to President Tru-

tee strongly opposes military alliances
with other nations. We feel sure Presi-
dent Truman will have no difficulty in
giving the desired assurance.
The United States will not enter into
military alliance with any other nation
we might say with Great Britain or
any other nation.
But between America and Britain
there will continue to exist the bond of
traditional democracy and of unity to

Evolution Takes Over

To the Editor of The Star:
Armageddon had come and gone-a
world was. ruined and nothing won;
British and Yanks and Russians, mighty,
blew the universe clear to Blighty. No
one remained, twixt you and me, save
chattering apes in banyan tree
Said the monkey chief to his jungle
mates as he pondered the lesson of
human hates, Its surely a wondrous
victory since no one is left to disagree!
But now we must start with might and
main to work on the Darwin theme
again. All past experiments we should
ban; we've had enough of the species,
man Recalling to mind that motley
mob I'm sure we can do better job!"

before, but it's telling never was needed

Letters to The Star
Sees Famous Homes in Danser
From Public Neglect
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The making of Franklin D. Roosevelt's
home into a national shrine reminds
me that some one in power ought to
see that law is passed, or some other
provision is made, whereby the homes
of the Presidents of the United States
automatically should became national
shrines upon the decease of the owners.
Some such step would obviate consid-
cradle expenditure of time, money, un-
certainty and legal procedure The
home of President James Madison,
Montpelier, near Orange, Va, for in
stance, because of its private ownership,
is forbidden access to private citizens
who would become better acquainted
with that illustrious gentleman who
contributed so much to American gov
ernment, and, though his burial place
is open to the public, it was, when I
viewed it in last october, mass of
tanglewood and underbrush, decidedly
unkempt, and approached by a road
reminiscent of horse buggy days
Likewise with Ferry Farm, boyhood
home of George Washington at Fred
ericksburg, Va, where his surveyors
office, open to the public, is behind, or
adjacent to, chicken coop; and recent
efforts to restore his boyhood home at
Wakefield, while worthy, and uncertain
in their result because of no adequate
preservation at this late date of the
way the house looked when he was born.
Likewise, also, with recent efforts to
restore the home of Elias Boudinot w,
the President under previous form of
government who was most responsible
for peace with Great Britain, ending
the American Revolution. Though his
home in Elizabeth, N. j., has now been
restored as a shrine, difficulty is being
had in raising the $4,000 to purchase
its interior effects.
The utter carelessness with which
tourists, and even Government care
takers, smoke on such halloWed and
valuable property, regardless of signs
and possible destruction of irreplaceable,
costly objects, nevertheless may be a
discouraging factor in establishing such
a law or precedent.

Author Differs With Reviewer

Author Differs With Reviewer
To the Editor OF The Star:
Authors generally do not bother to
reply to reviewers who have found fault
with their work. Mine is a somewhat
special case, however. I have lived in
Washington for six and a half years,
and during that time I have been a
diligent reader of The Star. I feel,
therefore, that I owe it to you and your
readers, as civic duty, and to both
the oppressed people of Spain and
out certain fundamental errors and
misleading statements in the review
Of my book, Wind in the Olive Trees"
which appeared in your paper on April 7.
Your reviewer, NC. r., accuses me
of blaming former Ambassador Hayes
"for carrying out his ambassadorial
function in accordance with American
policy" She then adds that my atti-
tude is that "the Republicans merited
sympathy and that American officials
should therefore have extended SYM
pathy to them, regardless of State
Department policy" There is no truth
whatever in these assertions. What I
did say was that there was nothing in
our State Department policy at that
time to prevent Prof. Hayes from
playing more able and more skillful
diplomatic game with the Franco die
tatorship and that one of the weapons
at his disposal, which he failed to use,
no hc al ,iy,r >F
Spanish people to the Franco-Falange
dictatorship Mr., Hayes, errors are
being repeated today by our State De-
partment which has condemned Franco
in words only, thereby further aggra-
waiting the internal situation in Spain
to point where large-scale bloodshed
in that country will be difficult if not
impossible to avert.
Your reviewer also misleadS your
readers with her statement that I go
Ito some length" in describing my own
differences with the official American
agency which I represented as chief
of propaganda analysis attached to the
American Embassy in Madrid. The
description of those differences-which
are revealing part of our schizophrenic
policy toward Franco-takes up less
than five pages. The book consists of
$50 pages.
Your reviewer has a perfect right,
Of course, to disagree with Drew
Pearson, Johannes Steel, the Rev.
Robert W. Searle, General Secretary
of the Greater New York Federation
of Churches, and other distinguished
Americans with regard to the value of
my book about fascist Spain. And, of
course, she has the right to praise
Franco and his fascist dictatorship
openly, if she so desires. While she has
not done this. she has succeeded in
giving aid and comfort to Francois
agents here and to the whole bankrupt
school of appeasement among our policy
makers by presenting false and dis
torted picture of what Wind in the
Olive Trees contains and the warning
message it strives to convey to the
American people. ABEL PLENN.

GRAPE PRUNING
And in CONJUNCTION with the
grape pruning demonstrations. we
have a word from John SNYDER
about the pruning of grapes. He
says he is frequently asked the
question, "What is the best way
for pruning my grape vines?" In
answering this query the horti-
culturist says there is a very SIM
pie method of pruning which is
called the "One-stem, four-cane.
Kniffin system.
"The Kniffin system has a perm
anent trunk and four permanent
arms. It allows for the renewal of
the fruiting vines each year. 1t is
so simple that mature vines train
ed by this system from their be-
ginning can be pruned with feWest
possible cuts-l8 or 20 cuts fire.
quently being enough. The Kniffin
system also makes for easy pick
ing, whether the Kniffin system or
another system is used, however,
is not so important as the proper
use of whatever system is chosen"
says Snyder.
When using the Kniffin system,
you start with the young plant at
setting time and remove all ex-
cept the strongest cane and cut il
back to two buds. AS soon as the
new shoots growing out of the two
buds are a couple of inches long,
select the strongest one and rub
off all others. Go over them two
weeks later and rub off shoots
again.
This is the only pruning that
should be done until the following
February or March, almost q year
after setting. No attempt need be
made during the growing season
to keep the vines from becoming
tangled.
these simple instructions, y
Snyder continues, explains how
