A Helpful Host to Visitors

After the turbulence of the war years,
this spring has been a reminder OF the
old Washington. Conventions-banned
during the war-once more are in order.
Chartered buses are bringing their loads of
students from many points, intent on see
ing their Nations Capital. BY train, plane
and~~prixate automobile comes a steady
stream of visitors to view the unique at
fractions of the Seat OF Government and,
incidentally, perhaps, to transact business
with their Representatives in Congress or
with other public servants.
The surprising thing about this influx
to many persons is that it is taking place
with so little confusion, so little strain on
the city's accommodations, so little incon-
venience to visitors and hosts alike. But
the orderliness of the migration is not
coincidental.S It was planned that way.
The planners were the Greater National
Capital Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade.
This committee, during its seventeen
years of public service, has demonstrated
that it is more than city boosting organ
ization, with an eye only on the mercenary
aspects of bringing free-spending tourists
to the District of Columbia. In peacetime
and during the war years it has filled
definite need Before and since the war
it has supplied the demand from educa-
tional institutions, fraternal, civic and
patriotic groups, business organizations
and the like for information regarding
the city's points of interest, hotel accom-
modations and meeting places; has assisted
actively in arranging conventions and
other visitations and, in short, has served
as unofflcial community host to thousands
of the city's guests. During the war 1t
rendered invaluable service in finding hotel
and other rooms for servicemen, indus
trialists, scientists and others coming to
the Capital.
To continue its very worthwhile services
to the community, the committee is asking
its supporters to subscribe this year $85 900.
This is certainly modest sum to invest in
the work of committee which is playing
such an important part in the develop
ment of a Greater National Capital.

To the average man unskilled In such
matters, the Army Air Forces National Geo.
graphic Society Solar Eclipse Expedition to
Bocaiuva In Brazil may have seemed Just
another of series OF. scientific activities
Of little, il any, public Importance. But
when 1t Is remembered that light Is life,
the larger, more important significance
of the enterprise becomes clear to every
body. What the Washington group OF
observers travelled so far to study is
the radiation of the sun, lacking which the
Earth would be blind and empty desert.
Anything which was learned about that
marvellous phenomenon yesterday will con-
stitute valuable addition to the present
state of knowledge Of the power upon
which every inhabitant of this planet
depends for his existence
It is no accident that the Scriptures
begin with the words: God said, Let there
be light" The first element OF Creation
obviously is that which illumines, gives
heat, supplies energy. All the terrific force
of the broken atom is but an inflnitesimal
fragment of the dynamic vitality OF the
Great Orb. John Milton summarized it
when he spoke of the Sun as being "neces-
sary." The Bocaiuya expedition was In
tended to test theories offered by genera
tions of philosophers eliminating in Albert
Einstein. 1t was to check the notion that
light beams coming from stars in outer
space are bent" as they move near the
center of our cosmic system.
sThe expedition possesses equipment un-
surpassed for such activity. Advances in
photography in recent years rendered
possible the accurate recording OF every
aspect of the eclipse. Modern aeronautics
likewise contributed machinery and tech
niuues for the use of the observers
unparalleled in the past. Radio provided
facilities. for verihcation OF time factors
and for the prompt news reporting OF the
event. Even had clouds interfered with the
success of the enterprise, some new data
was certain to be gathered. Granted a
clear sky, the practical achievement OF
the scientists assembled at Bocaiuva should
be a tremendous gain in Mans conquest
of circumstance. knowledge OF light, in
creasing from decade to decade, is even
more than life 1t is the governance, the
management, the more effective employ
ment Of the privilege of being alive. This,
of course, applies to individuals as well
as to the Earth upon which they dwell.

Exit-the Social Survey

The final report OF the series which re-
suited from the Council OF Social Agencies
Social Survey" has now been made public.
II its publication winds up the misadven-
ture which marked this unfortunate under
taking, 1t will be good thing. The reports
have produced minimum OF constructive
value. They have been weakened by un-
realistic approach to the practical problem
of winning the greatest number OF con-
tributors to agencies belonging to the
Community Chest. They have been curl
ously lacking in the type of wisdom which
searches out common ground on which
the diversified elements of large COM
munity may meet for unified attack on
some, If not all, OF the evils of this world.
None OF the reports has been indorsed by
the Community Chest. Even the sponsoring
agency of the survey, the Council OF Social
Agencies, is uncertain as to their DISPOSE
tion. They probably will end up on a
dusty shelf somewhere, available to those
who may wish enlightenment on how not
to proceed in stimulating the interest and
appealing to the generosity Of community
in the name of public welfare. Our task
in Washington now is to strengthen the
Community Chest, to make it serve more
effectively than ever as the chosen instru-
ment for united support of good work in
the alienation of our neighbors' misfor-
tune, to forget the past and look forward
to a continuation of steady progress in
mastering the knowledge of how to get
along together in good nature and with
good will.

70 the Editor Of The Star:
The Constitution Of the United States man
dates Congress TO provide for the common de-

against invasion.

most important action which can be taken BY

future defense OF the Nation Is to provide o

lessons Of two world wars should convince

has asked Congress to start hearings on two

Limiting Community Chest

To the Editor OF The star
1t seems to me the Community Chest In re-
cent years has gone far astray from the object
sought when it was established. At that time
it was intended purely as method to take
care~of the various needs in Washington, purely
Of charitable nature.
From year to year other objects have been
added. During the war many activities grow
ing out of the war were included. all OF which
placed large burden, not only on the fund to
be subscribed, but on the people who contrib
uted.
1t is time we should return to fundamentals,
limiting the agencies to be benefited to those
of real charitable nature. Let the other OBJ
jects be taken care Of by the District or by
people who are specifically interested.
It should not be difficult to do this.
