BY HARRIET GRIFFITHS
VX7HEN GOOD TOYS be-
w came expensive and
hard to find four or five years
ago, Julian E. Caraballo,
father of two, found a new
occupation for his spare time.
Rather than "go down and
spend a lot of money on a
piece Of junk" he began max
ing toys for the children
himself. Since then, he has
been providing Tommy, 10,
and Sally, 6, as we'll as
youngsters of his friends,
with playthings of his own
design.
Proof of his toymaking
proficiency came some months
ago when he sold two of
his toys to manufacturers.
They were introduced to
buyers from all over the coun-
try at the Toy Fair in New
York last spring.
His workshop since October,
1945, when the family moved
from Falls Church, has been
the kitchen of his apartment
at 3521 Valley drive, Alex
andria. Deprived Of the power

equipment he had in the base
ment of the Falls Church
home, he does most of his
toymaking by hand.
Mr.. Caraballo doesn't work
from drawings. II just de-
velop an idea as I 60 along"
he explains. II never know
what the toy will look like
until 7 get through"
He makes wheel toys with

up the mess" AS a matter of
fact his wife gave him a small
motor tool set last Christmas.
He puts his skill to other
jobs about the apartment,
too. He has constructed
bookcases, one of which has a
radio built in. painted furni-
ture, and made a desk for
Tommy with a secret drawer
which he likes very much
because Sally can't open it."
Tommy is trying his hand
now at model building, under
his fathers guidance. THAT

all over again. Dors EtecSoh.
This is the principal domestic
political aspect of the various global
crises now shaping up. The extent
to which the Republicans are able
to submerge their differences will
largely affect their 1948 prospects
and influence profoundly the rela-
tive presidential availability of the
two Senate leaders.
The Republicans, and probably
the two principals, would dearly love
to avert the battle royal between
Senator Vandenberg, the converted,
and Senator Taft, the unrecon-
structed, isolationist. With what
now appears to have been a strong
flavor of wishful thinking, they had
fondly assigned Senator Taft to the
domestic sphere and Senator Van
denberg to foreign policy. Now the
twain, unluckily, are meeting
head-on.
The sudden necessity Of assuming
new financial commitments abroad,
as in Greece, conflicts with the do
mestic program Of budget balancing
and tax reduction in which Senator
Taft plays a leading role. Senator
Vandenberg, who had wanted to 60
along quietly, must now speak up
for the new expenditures.
Evening star., 1947-03-04

Prior to that the Taft isolationism
had recurred In two situations. The
Senator from Ohio had presented
dissenting views from his colleague
on reciprocal trade. the economic
cornerstone of the administration s
peace plans. And he was decidedly
miffed when Senator Vandenberg,
with the help Of Senator Millikin Of
Colorado, chairman Of the Finance
Committee, put forward reciprocal
trade compromise sas Republican
proposal without consulting him.
That. the White House accepted
the compromise, with the President
putting 1t in the form Of an execu-
tive order, is measure OF Senator
Vandenberg's influence. The ad-
ministration had earlier said It
would not yield. Some Republicans
still are complaining 1t yielded
nothing vital.
In attacking the Lilienthal nomi-
nation, after first inspiring other
Republican assaults on it, Senator
Taft also put himself squarely in
opposition to Senator Vandenberg.
The Michigan Senator, who is q
member of the Atomic Energy Com
mittee, which Senator Taft is not,

ternational in this country. The
House Committee on Un-American
Activities undertakes to investigate
him. He appears with a prepared
statement which he proposes to read
before he starts answering questions.
The chairman rules that he can't
do that. So then he won't talk.
The committee thereupon asks his
indictment on charges OF contempt
Of Congress. The grand jury finds
the Committee has perfectly good
case and indicts him. Which Is all
right, since we can't have people
fiouting the rules of committee Of
Congress. Eisler asked for trouble
and he is getting it.
One Charge Startling.
That isn't what's funny. The
funny thing is one Of four other
charges the Committee asked the
grand jury to investigate. These
charges were: Perjury, tax evasion,
passport Justification and-"con-
spiracy to overthrow the Govern
ment of the United States!"
Now conspiring to overthrow the
Government of the United States
is a serious offense, or it would be
on the part of any man or group
OF men who had one chance in ten
million Of accomplishing that pur-
pose. Overthrowing the Government
Of the United States is man
sized job. Eisler may be perjurer,
tax evader and a passport falsifier,
but he hardly seems to be the man
to attempt our Governments over
throw.
It took the Republican Party IA
years to make even a noticeable
change in the Government. It
would take the Republican Party
lot longer to overthrow it, And the
Republican Party isn't just one man
or one little group of men, meeting
in dark corners. At the last count
1t numbered twenty-odd millions.
Included among these are some Of
our very ablest citizens, men who
operate vast and vital industries,
men accustomed to lead, men with
great armies of followers. Among
them they could raise an almost
bottomless war chest.
Wouldn't Attempt Overthrow.
But they couldn't overthrow the
Government of the United States.
And they wouldn't attempt it-no
matter what some Democrats might
suspect. Even If they had the urge,
they would know it couldn't be done.
So, I submit, the spectacle of The
great Congress becoming pop-eyed
with fear of what one slippery little
squirt may do to our Government
would be one for laughter under
normal circumstances. We'd laugh
and put Eisler in the booby-hatch,
where he obviously belongs If he
actually entertains delusions of that
kind. I'm not saying what we should
do with the statesmen he seems to
have frightened.
Moscow's contribution to the
wonderland of nonsense can be told
in fewer words. There has appeared
in the literary magazine znamya

books, Here is Your War;" and
Brave Men" The reviewer, r.

might have put up the dough for
the purchase ($108 per wcrd to cut
down the vocabulary Of his subjects
who, while half-frozen and on iron
rations, have to read in the papers
every morning about how the royal
family is faring on its trip to the
down-under dominions. I guess a
mere $50 words would slightly hand
cuff a mans expression when, with
his family's ribs sticking through
fiimsy garments and its noses blue
with cold, he was informed that His
Majesty's fur-lined, caviar trimmed
train had been delayed an hour
while a load of choice wines and
breasts of plovers' eggs were loaded
aboard to guarantee that the royal
stomachs would not suffer.
But whatever the reason for
Britain's purchase Of the rights to
basic English, let us be glad that
Britain got them and not the United
States. Can you picture the suffer-
ing in this country II we citizens
were limited to $50 words? Yes, you
can, and you must shudder at the
thought. It would undo us as q
nation. We would fall apart.
Would End Politics.
There would be no political
parties. The Democrats and the Re-
publicans would have to close up
shop. Neither party could ever write
a platform, because with only $50
words to work with, only promises
that could be fulfilled could be made.
And no party could ever hope to be
elected on such a himsy platform.
Indeed, no man could ever be nomi-
mated for the presidency, as the av-
erage nominating speech at ma
tional convention runs to 200, 900
words before the speaker gets around
to mentioning the name Of the glori-
GUS candidate.
One week after the .850-word Ian

of the advertising copy writer's In

they were reduced to saying, This

they'd take the quickest way out.
The profession of law would be
equally as bad off. Lawyers would
