Count Keyserling

There probably are many persons
who were unwilling to concede to
Count Herman Keyserling the one
title about which he cared. His
claim to it. of course, was not based
exclusively upon his Travel Diary
of Philosopher" All his works, as
he saw them, expressed an authentic
love of wisdom. Thus if the ordi-
nary dictionary definition of phil
osophy" be accepted as the criterion,
he was indeed what he sought to
have the world believe him.
But Keyserling's own explanation
OF his purpose and objective was pc
culiar. by WISDOM" he said, "I
mean simply 'self-expression.' In
this manner he took his place with
those writer's, painters and other
creative workers who stress the i'm
portance of individualism. His
service to civilization at large
in this respect undoubtedly was i'm
portant, especially since it was per-
formed in period when individuals
were being pushed around" and
fenced I'M as never before in CEN
turieS.
However, to understand Keyserling
as a mentor and guide-the role to
which he certainly did not aspire
IN vain-it is necessary to realize
that he himself personified the fate
OF the intellectual class in his time.
He was born to wealth and an al
legged security, scion of the Rus
sian Livonian. aristocracy; was
educated at Geneva, Dorpat, Hell
delberg and Vienna; pursued post
graduate studies in Paris, London
and Berlin; finally settled in Ray
kull as farmer and forester in
1908. At that moment he was
nearly thirty, had finished one
manuscript and seemingly had no
intention of attempting anything
further. What prompted his sub
sequent wanderings and the result
ant Diary" is question.
In any case Keyserling left his
ancestral estate in 1911 and never
really returned to 1t. The School

First reactions In Washington to the
report Of the Anglo-American Commit
tee Of Inquiry on Palestine afford fresh
example of the naive idea which so many
OF our statesmen seem to cherish, that
we can go about in this world giving
good advice and talking of noble pur-
poses without assuming any definite and
practical responsibility for translating
our fine words into actual accomplish
ment.
The immediate problem to be dealt
with Is the admission of 100000 Jewish
immigrants into Palestine. This is the
matter that has to be attended to now.
These lives must be saved, and only
immediate action will save them. This
figure of 100000 represents the most
urgent cases among the 1,000, ,00O-odd re-
naming Jews in Europe, the survivors
OF Hitler's organized massacre; if they
are not rescued now they will be dead
next spring. Very largely these are the
Jews who are now in camps in Germany,
who have suffered all through the hor-
rors of Hitlerian savagery, who have
managed to survive during 13 years of
unspeakable frightfulness, and who are
now managing to keep alive little spark
of vitality in the lingering hope of get
ting away from the land of death and
fear into the brighter future which
Palestine seems to offer them To them
Palestine is indeed the promised land.
From their point of view there is no
argument possible. It is Palestine Or
nothing. If that door, of hope is closed
to them, they will lie down in black
despair and perish, for they will have
nothing left to live for. They have
already endured too much.
The committee of inquiry proposes,
after thorough examination of all per-
tinent facts and after having heard wit
nesses representing every conceivable
point of view, that 100000 certificates
be authorized Immediately for the ad-
mission into Palestine Of Jews who have
been the victims of Nazi and Fascist
persecution" and that this be accom-
plished as far as possible in the year
1916. So far as transportation, ETC., is
concerned this can be DONE The diff
culties are political
The British Prime Minister has told
the House Of Commons that Britain can
not be expected to carry out this recon-
mendation unless the United States Gov
ernment is willing ito share the result
ing additional military and financial re-
sponsibilities." Meanwhile from Jewish
quarters come objections which, boiled
down, say taking in the 100000 Is fine,
but what about the remaining Jews in
Europe, and what about the future status
of Palestine?" while the Arab higher
committee calls general strike and
proposes to mobilize Arab youth for
emergency service" and to institute
Arab civil disobedience."

The King and ItoIy

1here appears now to be little or
no chance that the monarchy will
survive the referendum to be held
in Italy in June. According to quail
1f1ed observers in Rome, it's grave
was almost certainly dug last week
end when the congress of Premier
de GaSperi's Christian Democratic
party voted overwhelmingly against
retaining it and came out for a re-
publican form of government in
stead.
The Christian Democrats are pre-
dominantly Catholic and the strong
est single party in Italy, probably
equaling if not exceeding the COM
bined strength of the Communists
and Socialists. Accordingly, the fact
that they have joined these two
groups in washing their hands of
the monarchy can hardly be in
terpreted as anything less than a
knockout blow for that institution.
In any event, not single political
parry OF consequence now supports
it, and its survival in such circum-
stances would seem doubtful in the
extreme.
Though advocating an advanced
program of social and economic
reform, the Christian Democrats are
relatively conservative in the Italian
political picture. This makes their
3-to-1 vote against the monarchy
somewhat surprising, the more so
since they are so strongly Catholic
and since the Vatican is believed to
favor retention of the institution
as a unifying and stabilizing factor
in the life of Italy. All reports
are agreed, however, that feeling
against the House Of Savoy runs
deep and strong throughout the

The AIcutroz Riot

The latest ill-fated attempt of
some of the Nations most notorious
desperadoeS to escape from Alcatraz
Prison provides additional evidence
of the soundness of the Govern
ment's decision in 1888 to use 1.-The
Rock" as an isolation center for
hardened convicts of the public
enemy" type. The original plan for
a sort of American Devils Island"
in San Francisco Bay was adopted
by the Department of Justice over
the protests of some Well-inten-
toned sociologists. to say nothing of
alarmed residents of San Francisco
The attitude of few of the critics
was similar to that taken by former
Attorney General Frank Murphy,
who felt that the atmosphere at
Alcatraz was too stern. However,
Attorney General Cummings, in ad-
vancing the project, declared that
some such isolated penitentiary was
needed to safeguard the public from
the scandalous series of prison
breaks which marked the gangster
era of the late twenties and early
thirties.
There is no doubt as to the stern
ness of Alcatraz, but. as Mr.. Cum
mings pointed out in advocating
the prison, the incorrigible convicts
confined there are of a kind that
understand and respect only the
sternest of penal measures. They
are killers, kidnapers and other
criminals whose records are such as
to give little or no hope of reforma-
ton. Most of them have escaped
from other Federal or State prisons
one or more times. In Alcatraz they
find virtually all reasonable hope of
escape gone. That does not mean
that these desperate men ever COM
pletely give up hope of making
break, however. Warden James E.
Johnston, a successful banker who
became penologist because he was
interested in the subject of criminal
detention and reform. has never
claimed that Alcatraz is escape
proof. 1--WE only hoped it was" he
said after the frustrated break of
1889 in which Arthur DOC" Barker
Of the Karpis-Barker kidnapping
gang was shot to death as he and
four other convicts reached the
waters edge. Only two prisoners
ever succeeded in leaving the island
and officials are convinced both of
them drowned in the swirling cur
rents which sweep around "The
Rock"
Only a careful investigation will
determine whether the latest at
tempt, which already has cost the
lives of two guards, was. due to any
relaxation of vigilance on the part
Of the prison staff or to other pre-
ventable causes. Whatever the origin
OF the break, Warden Johnston and
his staff deserve commendation for
the courage with which they met
the vicious challenge of the en-
battled convicts. And the country
may well be glad that this battle
took place in so remote a spot as
Alcatraz-not in some community
where innocent citizens would have
been imperiled.

No Gambling Matter

1t must be hoped that the draft
extension bill, when it comes up for
Senate consideration a few days
hence, will not be subjected to the
kind of delaying strategy that
threatens to stymie approval of the
much-needed loan to Britain. Per-
haps a snail's-pace approach to the
latter can be taken without grave
consequences, assuming that eventu-
ally there will be favorable action.
But the same cannot be said of
Selective service. Time. is fast run
ming out on that. The present law
is due to expire automatically on
May IS, little more than a week from
now, so that unless the Senate
meanwhile extends it-improving
upon the indefensible House-ap-
proved version-our armed forces
will be up against a critical man.
power situation.
The case for such action has been
stated so often and so convincingly
that it scarcely needs any reviewing
now. The facts are simple and clear:
The manpower required to meet our
occupation responsibilities cannot
be had by voluntary recruitment
alone. The Army must have
draftees as well. If selective service
is not extended-without the House
provision to suspend all further
inductions until October 15-the
War Department by next July may
find itself 100000 short of the num-
Der of men necessary to fulfill our
commitments abroad, play our part
in shaping sound peace, and thus
serve our own security. This is a
matter that must be handled with
out reference to next falls elections.
1t demands prompt action, free of
the Gripping devices of political ex-
pediency. To deal with the draft
in any other light would be to gam
BILE recklessly with the higher, long
term interests of the Nation.

OF Wisdom, so-called, which he set
up at Darmstadt, was rather "a CEN
ter OF inspiration" than a regular
academy. What the Count taught
was the quest for, not the dogma OF
truth. Finally, he declared in con-
tradiction to his earlier views: my
life Is growing more and more i'm
personal and selfless." So at least
few OF his contemporaries have
learned to evaluate themselves.
They agree with him that the indi-
vidual, if he cares about wisdom,
tends to join--and not avoid-the
multitudes.

Easter Seals Results

To the Editor OF The Star:
The District of Columbia Society for
Crippled Children would like to have
the privilege of announcing. through
your letter column, the results of the
sale OF Easter Seals in aid of the handi-
capped children of our community.
Easter Seal contributions amounted to
$50,000. While we are $4,000 short of
our goal of 100000, We realize that
other worthy organizations were rails
Ing funds while our campaign was in
progress, so that, considering the many
calls for aid upon District residents the
results are gratifying Furthermore, we
are convinced that our original goal
still could be reached, if all who re-
ceived Easter Seal letters and who may
nave forgotten to make their returns,
would send in their contributions with
out further delay.
The society wishes to continue its
present services for crippled children
and to expand its program to include
needed additional services, but If it is to
do so it will be necessary to reach the
full goal of s6O,0oO.
Present services include a consulta-
ton clinic for cerebral palsied children;
psychological testing and speech ther-
apy; nursery school for cerebral pal
sled children; camping and convalescent
care for crippled children and post
graduate course in orthopedic nursing
at Catholic University School of Nurs-
ing Education.
Citizens of the District of Columbia
justly can be proud of making these
services possible for crippled children.
The board Of directors of the Seal Sale
Committee are truly grateful.
MRS. JEWELL c. GAFFNEY,
Executive Secretary, District of Colum-
bia Society for Crippled Children.
Commends UPW Leaders
To the Editor of The Star:
Louis Goldbergs comments about the
merged Union of Public Workers remind
me of the fellow who would favor a
scourge of the earth, If he, found Com
munists were against it.
No amount of railing against the
Communist bogey can obscure the nota-
BILE record of the old UFWA and SCMWA
in campaigning for az living wage, an
equitable merit and seniority system and
the elimination of racial and religious
discrimination in Government employ
ment.
To see communism in such program
is on par with the bowling of certain
industrialists that F. D. R. was sovietiz-
ing their plants when he introduced
councils of management, labor and the
public to spur wartime production.
Does Mr.. Goldberg approve of the
Truman foreign policy of allowing Brit
ain to maneuver the United States into
a divisive anti-Russian power-bloc and
into eventual war?
Does he support President Truman's
occupation policies in Japan and Ger
many which have kept reactionary
cliques in power and permitted anti
semitism to inf1ltrate into the United
States Army of occupation? Does he
agree that Fascist Franco should be in
vestigated rather than be given the
boot?
AS stanch defenders of peace, Sc
curity and democracy for ALL including
Government workers, UPW leaders have
dared to face these questions squarely
and courageously. Let the chips fall
where they may. I.G.

IN MEMORY
In memory of our dear son, Ear
nest Oldroyd, who passed away five
years ago, January ID.
Just five years ago today, dear.
You so gently passed away;
We wanted oh, so bad to save you
But you could no longer stay.
A precious one is gone
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
They say time heals all broken
hearts
But, oh, that seems untrue;
For five years has so slowly passed
And our hearts still long for you.
You are gone but not forgotten,
You are free from care and pain;
1t would seem to US like heaven
Just to have you back again.
To forget you we could never
'Twould be in vain to try;
Our thoughts are of you ever
We will love you It'll we die.
Yon have gone home to the beauti-
full hills of God
Some day when our work is finished
Rv the valley of rest so fair;
With great joy we shall meet you
there.
