seem to be united only in their
aversion to Tsaldaris and his Popu-
lists. With Demetrios Maximos, also
a Populist, succeeding him. there Is
no indication that they can all join
together for affirmative action.
It should be understood that few
if any of these opposition groups
sympathize with the Communist
EAM and its revolutionary tactics.
Their dissatisfactions appear to be
compounded of antidynastic repub-
licanism, dislike of what they con-
slider Tsaldaris' high-handed meth
ods, and protests against his failure
to handle the country's grave eco
nomic problems. It remains to be
seen whether Premier Maximos. his
successor, will be able to head of a
breakdown of normal parliament
tary procedure.

Police on the SPOT

Lie CUlllpldllllllS WlUlltSS dSdlllSG
United States Commissioner Turnage
in his trial on charge of driving
while drunk (of which he has been
acquitted testified that policeman
told him, Il think you can see our
position. We are on the spot" The
curious remark apparently was VOL
unteered in explanation of the un-
usual attitude of the five policemen
who arrived to investigate collision
between the Turnage automobile and
another car last October.
The witness may have wondered
why the police, rather than Mr..
Turnage, were ION the spot" 1t
would seem that Commissioner
Turnage was the one who was on
the spot. This same Commissioner
Turnage had been fined in the past
for failing to keep to the right of the
road, following collision in Mary
land in which police charged him
with driving while drunk. And here
he was again, in another accident.
Why were the police on the spot?
Whether they we're ION the spot"
at the time of the accident, they are
on there now. They were put there
Friday by the senior assistant cor
poration counsel at Municipal Court
when, in his closing address to the
jury in the Turnage trial, he charged
the police assigned to investigate the
accident with gross dereliction of
duty" and gross negligence" To
sum up his opinion more express
sively, counsel for the Government
declared to the jury that the police
work in the Turnage case "stinks to
high heaven"
In making these grave charges in
open court, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Robert Wise had in mind
such strange "derelictions' as these
previously enumerated to the
COURT: Failure of the accident in
vestigation unit to make any real
investigation" of the customary
type, viz, urinalysis when any ques-
ton of sobriety is raised, measure
ment of skid marks, active question
ing of witnesses, ETC., and failure OF
police to bring any one of five pos
sible traffic charges against Mr..
Turnage These possible charges,
the prosecutor said, were, in addi-
ton to drunken driving, reckless
driving, failure to obey stop sign,
failure to give full time and atten-
ton to driving and going the wrong
way on a one-way street. 1t was not
until the owner of the car involved
In the collision with the commits
sioner's car had gone to court and
sworn out a complaint that any
charges whatever were placed on the
books.
The charges against the police in
the Turnage case are not those of a
private attorney. They are those of
counsel representing the District
government, the Police Department
and the people of the District OF
Columbia. What does the corpora
ton counsel intend to do about his
own charges against the police?

Does Christianity Work..
By Herbert W. Bduco7l, Jr.,
Pastor, Takona Park Baptist Church.

than any other force toward the ere
ating OF a world of peace, good will
among men," Not perfectly, but bet
ter than any other theology is Chris
tianity creating in man the feeling
that all men are brothers, no matter
what their race or creed. Men do
not readily make war on their broth
ers; men do not often exploit their
brothers. Is it not fast becoming
apparent that only the belief and
practice of the Great Commandment,
as given by Jesus, namely, Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and thy neighbor as
thyself," can solve the friction be-
tween capital and labor, between the
racial groups, between nations?
X +
Christianity claims to place in the
heart of men a sympathetic con-
sciousness of the needs of men. Check
your givers to the various funds that
relieve suffering, as, for example, the
Red Cross here. and you will find that
more than so per cent of the givers
are people who claim to be Chris
tians. Our orphanages, hospitals and
colleges were brought into existence
as result of Christian thinking and
working; and, wherever Christianity
has gone, in its wake have come
schools and hospitals. Can any other
ideal or principle of life affirm as
much?
We who comprise the group calling
ourselves Christians make no claim
to perfection. Nor do we claim that
the ideals which our Lord gave to us
are being demonstrated perfectly. We
all are conscious of our failures.
Nonetheless, we do know that we have
an assurance and peace nothing
else can give us. We know we are
better men and women the more we
live as Jesus taught us to live. We
know that our attitude toward our
fellowmen is purer, less poisoned by
suspicion and hate, since We have
known Jesus. Our hearts go out more
readily to those in distress since we
have followed him "who went about
doing good" Furthermore, We have
had to give up only those things that
would hurt us in order to follow
Jesus. He never has taken from us
anything that really is essential to
glorious living.
We who have tried it are agreed
that Christianity does well what 1t
claims to do and that Christianity Is
more than just hope for the future.
1t helps us live here so that we may
dwell with God eternally.

Greek Cabinet Change

The waxing crisis within the
Greek Parliament, which threatens
to paralyze the functioning Of gov
ernment within the framework OF
the constitution, is more than
political maneuvering. 1t reflects
the deep factional riffs which have
long afflicted Greek national life
and are basically responsible for the
parlous situation in which that un-
fortunate country finds itself.
Potential parliamentary deadlock
was implicit in the results OF the
elections last year which chose the
present legislature. The PopulistS,
stanch royalists who engineered the
return of King George to the throne,
became the major party. Naturally,
the Populists undertook the forma-
ton of a cabinet, headed by their
leader, Tsaldaris.
Unfortunately for the prospects OF
this new government, the Popullsts
had not obtained parliamentary
majority but only plurality. Out
of a total of 354 seats, they had 1877,
while 181 seats were divided between
seven minor groups ranging from
the nonroyalist right to the repub-
lican and antiroyalist let. The
Communist dominated extreme left,
the so-called EAM, had boycotted
the elections and so had excluded
itself from parliamentary repre-
sentation. Ever since, it has con-
stituted a revolutionary opposition,
conducting guerrilla warfare which
is now about to be investigated by
a commission in inquiry sent by the
United Nations.
With the EAM irreconcilables out
of the parliamentary picture, 1t
might not have seemed difficult, for
Premier Tsaldaris to have rallied
enough of the minor groups to form
a workable coalition cabinet. This
was true at the start, but in recent
weeks dissatisfaction of those groups
with Populist policies led to success
sive designations of thefr representa-
tives in the cabinet which have left
the Populists in solitary grandeur
and a parliamentary minority.
This has now forced Premier Tsal-
daris to hand In his resignation.
Unfortunately, the opposition groups

Tycho Bruhe

1t is a remarkable circumstance
that small nations produce more
than their share of the great men
of the earth. Tycho Brahe, the
famous astronomer whose quadri-
centennial now is being celebrated,
may be cited as an example. He was
a native of Knudstrup in Scania,
then a province of Denmark, born
near the end of 1876 The locale of
his first home, however, is less i'm
portant than the fact that his work
from it's start, when he was only
TWENTY-FIVE. until it's end, three
decades later, was supported gener-
ously by his countrymen and their
princes.
Tycho's first observatory was at
Herritzvad. 1t was at, that place that
he discovered the new star in
Cassiopeia. BY 1874 he was lecturing
in Copenhagen under royal patron
ape. Frederick II gave him for lie
the island of Hveen, pension OF five
hundred .thelers, a caronry In
roskilde c@thed-al and the income
cf an este in Norway. The corner
stone of a magnificent building for
his use at Uraniborg was laid in 1876.
Within its walls he lahored until
1897. The scholarly Emperor Ru-
dolph II offered him the castle OF
Benatky, near Prague, for his resi-
dence and assigned him three thou
sand f1ori1s annually in 1897. His
instruments were moved to his new
home and Johannes Kepler joined
him in 1900. He was at. the height
Ct his powers when, much too soon,
| q died, October "a, 1901.
What Tycho taught was the
,2cessity for accurate perception.
The H!onchester Guardian recently
declared that modern astronoml-
cal theory owes to his genius
nothing except its foundations"
He really saw the heavens as none
of his predecessors ever did. His
study of the movements of the sun,
the moon and seven hundred ana
seventy-seven fixed" stars was a

Not to Be Overdone

At the annual Health Education
Conference in New York recently,
some wise things were said about
the bad aspects of trying to feel too
physically good. There were warn
ings against cults, fads and phobias.
There were implied potshots at peo-
pie who force themselves to take
exercise. Hypochondriacs-the ones
who rush to the medicine chest when
they have the slightest pain-were
psychoanalyzed as frequently pos
sessing "a secret conviction of abso-
Lutte invulnerability." AS for the
ostentatiously robust-the ones who
are always flexing their muscles
they are often just trying to cover
up "a hidden terror over the least
deviation from the normal"
For those of us who dislike exer-
else and who feel sometimes that
we should give more thought to that
occasional pain in the elbow, these
are encoure oing things to hear. Ger
tainly, it is good to be told, as the
conference was told by one out
starding doctor, that the pursuit Of
health can be greatly overdone. AS
this man sees it, anybody can have
genuinely glum time of it" trying
to abide by all the rules of physical
fitness; meanwhile, though, the
skeptic, the careless fellow who
SCOTS at parallel bars and dumb
bells, has fun and probably "lives
1o1 years, burying many health edu-
Gators" In other words, moderation
in all things-even in keeping fit.
That is to say, it is fine to feel fine,
but why worrv ones self sick irving
to feel that wey? 1t is refreshing
to have this advice from the experts.
Evening star., 1947-01-26

In our scientific age the test of any
idea is whether 1t works. After the
invention Is completed, the next step
is the test, seeking to discover whether
1t does what has been claimed for it.
If it works. our scientific age will ac-
cept it; If not, it is discarded.
There are some who say that ma
terialism works, but that Christianity
does not work; and therefore we
should renounce Christianity and
give ourselves to a materialistic form
of life. But, as fair-minded people,
surely we will be willing to look at
Christianity honestly and discover,
in comparison with other ideologies,
whether 1t really functions.
For two thousand years Christian
ity has made for itself certain claims.
They are lofty claims. How well have
they worked?
Christianity claims that in the
lives of its adherents there is a true
happiness, peace of mind and heart,
quiet confidence that enables the
Christian to face loss or privation,
sorrow or death, as well as every
day living, with fortitude. Looking
about us we discover less Illustration,
less dissipation, less melancholia
among the people calling themselves
Christians than among any similar
group anywhere. Statistics prove that
the marriage of Christians has far
greater chance of avoiding the
divorce courts than the marriage OF
non-Christians. There is only one
divorce for every 40 marriages among
active Christians, while the rate for
the country as whole is one divorce
out of three marriages. We think
Christianity works here.
X X *
Christianity also claims that 1t Is
developing the highest type of men
and women to be found on earth.
At the forefront of every unselfish,
philanthropic enterprise will be found
Christian men and women. Check
the records of our FBI or of our
courts and you will discover very few
records of active Christians being in
the criminal class. You will find the
courts filled with people whose only
thought is to "eat, drink and be
merry, for tomorrow we die" ana
those who have given themselves to
materialistic ideologies. Christianity
keeps calling man to his best, not his
worst; to his highest, not his lowest.
It insists that man is more than an
animal
I believe Christianity is doing more

The Spitzberqen Issue

If Moscow is serious in its inten-
tions, it's demands upon Norway for
base rights in and joint control over
Spitzbergen poses an issue which
may be as serious as that of the
Turkish Straits. The two issues have
much in common. For what Moscow
proposes in both cases is bilateral
action in contravention of interna-
tional treaties-treaties in which
several of the signatories have a
major interest and to (which Soviet
Russia is signatory.
The extensive archipelago of Spitz-
bergen, lying due north of Norway
along the Arctic Circle. was long a
no-man's land because of its sup
posed economic worthlessness. But
early in the present century the dis
covery of rich coal deposits, COM
mercially exploitable because of
harbors open most of the year, led
to rival claims. which were finally
settled by an international agree
ment in 1920. Under this agreement
Norway was awarded sovereignty
with the proviso that it was neither
to create nor to allow the establish
ment of any naval base and not to
construct any Notifications which
may ever be used for warlike pur-
poses" To that treaty both Britain
and the United States were original
signatories. Soviet Russia raised no
objections and formally adhered to
the treaty in 1885. At the present
time no less than thirty-tWo gov
ernments are signatories.
Although the precise extent of the
present Russian demands upon Nor
way has not yet been disclosed, the
State Department has let 1t be
known that they include the grant
ing of bases and joint control, espe-
cially over Bear Island, an isolated
bit of land lying about half way
between the main archipelago of
Spitzbergen and the northern tip
of Norway. Furthermore, it is re-
vealed that these demands are not
new but have been raised formally
on at least two previous occasions,
the first of these running as far back
as 1914 and again in 1945-both be-
fore the close of the late war. On
each occasion the Norwegian gov
ernment rejected the proposals on
the ground that no such bilateral
arrangement could be made without
the consultation and assent of the
other sionatories of the 1920 inter-
national treaty. Nevertheless, Mos
COW has now come back a third
time, seemingly more insistently
than ever.
Our State Department expresses
its concern" while the British For
eign Office is reported as taking a
"stern" view. Such attitudes are
fully justified, because. aside from
the juridical Importance of uphold
Ing the sanctity of international
treaties, Spitzbergen In Soviet
hands would mean potential
menace in this age of long-distance
flying. On the Northern Great Circle
the archipelago is only $500 miles
from Pennsylvania and other indus
trial areas of our Eastern Seaboard
by on air route passing over Green
land and Eastern Quebec. Here
again the vital significance of the
Arctic in an air-and atomic-age
is demonstrated.
