The opening of the Tidal Basin to
fishing once again brings to the fore
3 situation which. for the Nation S
Capital is incredibly anomalous to
put it mildly. Washington is one of
the fairest cities in the greatest Ma
ton in the world. In fact, it prac-
ticallr is the worlds capital. 1t
should be a model for other cities,
yet We permit, even condone. pollu-
ton in our waters, which would be
considered a disgrace to most
backward community. The Tidal
Basin, the Anacostia River, Rock
Creek and the Potomac River ada
cent to the city are at this time little
better than open sewers, literally
disgusting in their odors and ap-
pearance, dangerous to human
health, destructive to the fish which
struggle to exist in their waters, and
almost g dead end to the recrea-
tional opportunities which could
and should be ours.
If you want to see visual DEM
onstration of this situation, Just go
to the leeward side of the Tidal
Basin on any breezy day and gaze
into its waters. You will find a rim
of municipal sewage floating there
containing every unmentionable OBJ
Ject which passes through our sew
ers. Yet daily, men, women and
children wet their hands in these
contaminated waters by handling
the soaked lines and bats with
which they angle.

Man to Man
Harrying of Eisenhower by Reporters
On Campaign Stand Carried Too Far

didate, Gen. Eisenhower is formid-
able enough to inspire presidential
hopefuls such as Gov. Dewey to
draw upon their bag of tricks in
the hope of being able to put pos
sible rival at a disadvantage.
And yet, this may have been
merely over-zealousness on the part
of the inquisitors. Sometimes it hap
pens that a reporter, in quest of
news, spoils for himself what might
become a really big item of news If
it were allowed to develop normally.
Sometimes, also, man is needed
into making a commitment that he
ought not to make and which it is
not In the interest Of the country
that he should make.
T am willing to accept in good
faith Gen. Eisenhower statement
that he is not candidate and will
not connive to bring about his nomi-
nation. To take such a position with
out going further is his undoubted
privilege. On the other hand, it is
the right of any citizen to hope
that Gen. Eisenhower may become
candidate for an Office for which
many Americans consider him to
be qualified.
Press Restraint Needed.
Today the whole world Is in a
state Of flux. No one can say what
the situation will be a year from
now or who then may be the man In
whom the people would have the
greatest confidence as their new
President. For my part I do not wish
to see Gen. Eisenhower, or, for that
matter any one else, harried into
foreclosing himself as a possible
candidate next year. No citizen
ought to want to make it impos-
sible for him to become a candidate,
if he is a man whom the people
wish to rally behind because they
believe him to be the best qualified
leader in the United States in the
circumstances In which we may find
ourselves a year hence.
Legitimately eager as they are for
news, it seems to me that such q
situation as this calls for somewhat
Of self-denial on the part OF the
press, somewhat Of self-restraint. It
would not be patriotic act to force
Gen. Eisenhower into a position
where. If the people should want
him next year above all others for
their President, he could not accept
the leadership rendered him, except
at the risk of an accusation of sub
terfuge and hypocrisy.
So l suggest that, in the interest
of the country, Gen. Eisenhower be
let alone. If the reporters continue
to hound him, he should send them
about their business in no uncertain
tones. Meanwhile, if voters wish to
declare for him, or even to organ
ize Eisenhower-fo President Clubs,
that is their privilege.

hope that matters are not as serious
as the members Of his own cabinet
declare them to be.
Actually, even the calamity howl
ers are indulging in understatement
The only person who has told the
naked truth is Sir John Balfour OF
the British Embassy in Washington
who, speaking in Baltimore recently
said "the current economic crisis
has put Western Europe In a posi-
ton of greater peril than any ex-
perienced since the collapse Of the
Roman Empire ushered In the dark
ages"
Break Seen in Italy.
That Is precisely true. If the
American people think they can es-
cape the effects Of such collapse, or
If any one encourages them to think
50 he is doing them the disservice OF
treating them not like adults but
like children.
The break, If it is not STAYED of
by immediate funds to Italy, will
come there, and not sometime
but right away. The government
sits, in any case, precariously. We
have given it little with which to
hold the people: A blow from the
western world in an absolutely in
excusable peace treaty; a compro-
mise on Trieste which leaves that
city wide open to Communist and
Pan-Slav inflltration, an Italy as
whole indefensible on her his
torically most critical frontier.
Italy cannot be self-suficient. Al
though she suffers from over popu-
lation, the allied solution" has been
to reduce her territory and take
away her colonies in a world where
underpopulated countries are prac.
