The Critics Criticized

To this Editor Of The Star:
Local newspaper movie critics have united
in giving top praise to the Lee Henderson
dancers at the Capitol, second billing to Benson
and Mann. They may have a reason for so
doing, but it's not legitimate.
The dancing troupe is strictly amateurish.
I caught the first show and laughed at their
awkwardness. The Slaughter" thing slaugh-
tered itself The Indian who opened the first
dance has q good voice.
Benson and Mann should have held their
Miller joke books in their hands. On second
thought. considering their of color business,
they "shoulda stood home
Ada Lynn, while admittedly q zany, is good,
clean comedy; she's neat to look at when she's
not Martha Rayeing" her face, and has
lusty voice. I'd say she's . good candidate
tor a modern Eva Tanguay.
Poor Sasha, whose accordion deafened US:
why doesn't he open . restaurant?
I'd like Kaye Dewitt when she decides
which register suits her best. don't think
It's soprano.
Yours for better. more Honest criticisms.

Photography for Security

Photography from its start has been of
use in the war against crime. The Ber-
tillons were but single group of anthro-
biologists to employ the camera in the
study of the human form and visage. Files
dating back nearly a hundred years are
in the possession of the police of Paris,
London and New York OF even greater
Importance in this regard, as in other
obvious historical respects, are the archives
of Washington-the FBI the State De-
partment Passport Bureau and the Civil
Service Commission especially.
But until photographs in full natural
color were feasible there always was some
thing to be desired. The announcement
of the New York police to the effect that
pictures of true dye" category are to be
circulated in search for the stolen Hilton
jewels raises several questions Of public
interest. For example, has color photogra-
ply reached a state of perfection which
makes feasible the reproduction of gems
in their native purity of hue and tone?
The answer is: Yes, patient experimental
ton has rendered 1t possible to photograph
a ruby or an emerald accurately 1t fol-
lows that persons who possess jewelry of
exceptional value should have 1t submitted
to the camera Then, If the gems are lost
or stolen, the chance of recovery through
Identification will be enhanced.
The logic of such procedure appealed to
the curators of the National Gallery from
a date prior to the actual establishment
of the Mellon Foundation They realized
that the better known their masterpieces
of painting and sculpture were, the safer
they would be. Specifically, they were well
acquainted with the fact that the thief
who purloined Da Vii1cis Mona Lisa" from
the Louvre soon learned that it was too
popular for him to dispose of without risk
ing arrest. So, under the guidance of
Colonel Harry A. Mcbride, administrator
of the Gallery, all its rare treasures have
been filmed. Most of them are available
at cost in the form of prints for framing.
Many may be had as postcards at a few
cents each. Thus the camera at once
contributes to the characterization Of
beauty and to its preservation in reason
able safety.
A classic example of the relation between
photography and property of great value
Is that of Mllet's Man With the Hoe"

Questions for Mr.. Vishinsky

Questions for Mr.. Vishinsky
To the Editor Of The STAR
When q man clothed In the robes OF state
debases the dignity Of his high ofdce by heap
Ing abuse upon the heads Of 4 peaceful, friendly
nation, it would seem useless for mere aver
age citizen to question his intellectual in
tegrity. Nevertheless, have q few questions
for Deputy Foreign Minister ~Andrei Y. VIZ
shinsky, as follows: First, are you copying
the technique of Hitler who called everybody
else \ warmonger while he raped Europe
hoping thereby to fool the world; or was he
just using the Moscow technique?
Second, what kind of democracy is 1t where
supreme power is usurped by a small minority
maintained by police power?
Third, who but Russia is guilty of war
mongering since she alone began taking over
eastern state after state, forming new gov
ernments therein without consulting her late
allies?
Fourth, does Russia deny that she is trying
to force her way through Greece to the Dar-
danelles and through Iran to the Persian Gulf
only to fnd America standing across her path?
Is this why America is called a warmonger?
If Russia wants peace let her cooperate by
agreeing to thorough inspection during de-
mobilization and disarmament. with . per1na-
nent committee then to main disarmament
Mere words are empty without acts.

A Nondescript Series

For nondescript baseball, the 1947 World
Series is something for the record books.
1t was a series distinguished by mediocrity
of the opposing teams, yet it drew the first
two million dollar gate in championship
history. Although there is no way of
measuring such things accurately, it is
reasonable to believe that there was less
public interest in this series when 1t started
outside of New York-than in any of its
predecessors. Yet, because the contest,
as it Shuffled via subway back and forth
between the Yankee Stadium and Ebbets
Field, ran the gamut from the ridiculous
to the sublime, the baseball world was sit
ting up and taking notice by the time the
final game was played yesterday afternoon.
AS was to be expected, there was plenty
of bad baSeball-and not all of 1t was
chargeable to Brooklyns hapless Buns.
The World Champion Yankee team of 1947
Is poor facsimile of some of its vaunted
forbears. 1t had to be poor to suffer as
much humiliation as it did before finally
managing to emerge as so-called champion
ball team of the world. The Buns deserve
lot of credit. Starting out as the under
dogs, the unpredictable Brooklynites rallied
from an incredibly horrible start to force
the series into seven games.
Offsetting the bad baseball were snatches
of brilliance worthy of Frank Merriwell
thriller There were, for example, that
pinch homerun by Yogi Berra (whose per-
formance as a Yankee catcher had been
a Joy to the Dodgers), the near hitter
hurled by Wild Bill Bevens of the Yankees,
the pinch-hit double by Cookie Lavagetto
with two out in the ninth that robbed
Bevens of no-hit game and in Sundays
slam-bang game, the miraculous catch by
AL Gionfriddo, Dodger pinch" fielder, that
deprived Joe Di Maggie of another homer
Conspicuously missing from the roster
of heroes was Washingtons onetime favor
ite, Bobo Newsom, who, for once in his
life, has nothing to crow over. But every
Washington fan will feel sense Of pride
in the achievement of another former
favorte here, Bucky Harris. Bucky piloted
Washington to its only world champion
ship. He is entitled to some sort of medal
for plotting the Yankees to victory in this
years strange championship battle.

Irun's Oil

The Iranian Parliament's overwhelming
vote of confidence in Premier Ghavam
must certainly diSpleaSe the Russians Mr..
Ghavam has refused to sign the highly
controversial oil agreement with them and
the Parliament apparently has no inten-
ton of ratifying it. The Kremlin has re-
sorted to threatful pressures, but it still
has not received what it wants, and the
big question is whether it will take any
tough measures now.
As drawn up last year, the agreement
would create~a Soviet-Iranian oil company
in which the Russians would own 81 per
cent of the stock for. the next twenty five
years, during which time they would de-
velop and exploit the petroleum resources
of the northern part Of the country. This
concession was worked out at the time
of Trans complaint to the United Nations
against the presence OF Red Army troops
In Azerbaijan and the Kremlin's threat to
convert that Iranian province into pup
pet state The U. N. debate played vital
part in Fastening the withdrawal of the
troops, but the concession played an i'm
portant part, too.
The Russians have taken the position
that the agreement does not need ratif1ea
ton, but the Iranians hold otherwise, and
most members of the Parliament seem dis
posed to vote against Soviet participation,
preferring that Iran itself remain in full
control of it's oil. So the concession,
despite the increasing impatience of the
Kremlin, remains up in the air. The situa-
ton is delicate one, with the United
States involved at least to the extent of
supporting the Ghavam governments
right to decide the matter according to
Evening star., 1947-10-07

pressure.
With the agreement thus suspended. and
with it's eventual effectuation seeming
doubtful in the extreme, the Kremlins
temper probably is rising. What will hap
pen now is problematical, but there are
fears that there may be renewal of
trouble in Azerbaijan. In that case, the
heavily burdened United Nations will have
another explosive issue to deal with. Here
again, as in so many other matters, the
prospect depends primarily on what the
Soviet Union chooses to do.

Letters to The Star
Breadless Week Proposed

To the Editor of The star:
Although this letter is addressed to you,
hope 1t also will reach the Food Committee,
whose purpose Is to save grain to feed g
hungry world.
The need is immediate and urgent and never
can be met in time by merely buying cheaper
meat and using leftovers. Many people have
been doing that for months. BY the date
when the lack of markets for top-grade meat
is felt by the farmers and they stop feeding
grain to stock, millions may have starved or
been forced into communism.
Surely, the American people would be willing
to use the emergency flour for as long as
necessary and an immediate saving could begin.
I, for one, would be willing to do without
bread for week; and If the idea were pro-
NOTED, many others also would be willing.
Slow, halfway measures won't do. We need
action instantly.

Mash Goes to Cattle

To the Editor Of The Star:
Whenever shortage Of grain is threatened
the so-called temperance" advocates are quick
to demand that no grain be used in the man
ufacture of alcoholic beverages. These people
should be reminded that most of the grain
used in the production Of beer and liquors is
afterward fed to livestock and thus converted
into meat. And I have been informed, by
persons who ought to know what they are
talking about, that this processed feed &C
tually contains more nourishment (proteins)
for meat animals than does the natural grain
from which it has been derived.

Paris Remembered-and Upbraided
To the Editor Of The
Remember how such a short time ago, we
completely upset our daily way Of life here In
these United States and sent our loved ones
across the oceans to foreign soils: Remember?
Remember gas rations, tires food, those
priority slips to be accounted for to Uncle Sam,
the black market, scarcity of soap and meats.
unless you knew or bought from good friend?
Remember those Greetings from the Presi-
dent of the United States" those heart-break
ing kilograms about loved ones who died in
action, those who were injured in battle?
Well, perhaps you remember, We also saved
France and with it, Paris.
And we still are trying to save France and
a lot more from starvation. We are trying to
save France and other countries from Russia
and all the isms.
Our boys came home to try to settle down
to normal living once more. But they can't for
get Paris yet Why? Because Paris has raised
her head again to haunt us all. Paris tells our
wives and sweethearts that they must change
silhouettes buy complete new outfits of clothes
In order to enrich the same guys that we just
saved from enslavement.
Now what kind of gratitude is that?
What kind of people does Paris think we
are?
What is wrong with us that we can't have
our own styles designed right here in America
for Americans?
Let's figure up the wool, silk, cotton, ETC., that
would be needed to make those new styles with
long skirts and 1890 bustles and padding. Let's
figure also the amount Of money that would be
spent by the people here to keep up with the
