tribes.
At the conclusion of the hear
ings the subcommittee set aside
the Case Bill and in it's stead sug-
gested three separate bills that
would apply among the different
tribes.
J The Blackfeet delegation con-
tended that inasmuch as there
were approximately 800 full
blood members of their tribe in
need of the governments care,
it W a s to their welfare to con-
tinue as at the present.
/ Their opinion was that full
citizenship, based upon assimila-
ton and various other qualifca-
tons, should be deferred among
some for probably 20 years.
Highly Objectionable to the
Blackfeet delegation was the
provision in the Case Bill that
would permit members of the
tribe to mortgage or sell Tribal
land to individuals or buyers not
of Indian blood, thus disturbing
Tribal economic solidarity. The
Case Bill proposed that this priv
ilege be granted through a two
thirds majority vote of the tribe.
The delegation pointed out that
many might be induced to fool
sshly part with their property
as the result of unprincipled
Vaccination of the ballot box.

The Air Force Takes Its Place

With the appointment OF General Carl
Spaatz as chief of staff of the Air Force,
the long struggle of the Nations military
aviation arm for coequal representation
with the Army and the Navy in top-level
strategic planning comes to a successful
conclusion. Prior to World War II the
Army'S air component occupied very
subordinate role in high-command plan
ming. With the rapid expansion of the
Army Air Forces during the war; however,
the prestige of the aviation branch rose to
unprecedented heights and General
Arnold, commanding general of the AAF,
was made member of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
The Army-Navy unification law makes
permanent the wartime inclusion of an
air force representative in the inner coun-
ellis OF the high command General Spaatz,
as commander of the former AAF, already
has sat in the postwar meetings of the
Joint Chiefs of staff. Now he will sit in
them as the first chief of staff of the long
sought independent Air Force Department,
on the same level with the chief of staff
of the Army and the chief of naval opera
tions. The fourth member of the Joint
group is Fleet Admiral Leahy, chief of
staff to the President. For the time being.
at least, General Spaatz will be outranked
by the other members, all of whom wear
five stars. General Spaatz has four But
Admiral Nimitz is scheduled to end his
term as chief of naval operations within
few months and General Eisenhower will
leave the Army early next year to become
president of Columbia University. Their
successors will have one less star on their
insignia.
General Spaatz will serve not only on the
Joint Chiefs of Staff but on the War Coun-
Gil, new and important agency created to
advise the Secretary of Defense on broad
matters of policy affecting the armed
forces Other members of the council will
be the defense secretary, the secretaries of
the Army, the Navy and the Air Force and
the chiefs of staff of the Army and the
Navy Thus the air force at last takes its
place in the topmost echelon of the armed
services-a real copartner in the planning
as well as the execution of the Nations
defense program.

A Healthier City

The annual report of the Health Depart
ment concludes that Washington was a
relatively healthful place" in the past
year. Indices of public health, such as
general death rate, were encouraging in
relation to rates for the country as
whole. More striking, however, are the
figures which with some exceptions con-
tinue to show marked improvement in
Washington over former years.
There is an inescapable connection, in
this respect, between expenditures on
public health and health statistics Ten
years ago, for example, we were spending
about 81 100000 on public health in Wash
:ngton, including hospitals. The general
death rate was fourteen per thousand of
population. Public health appropriations
tor the current year have risen to nearly
S8,000,000; the general death rate for the
calendar year 1946 had been reduced to a
new low of 9.3 Even more significant
has been the reduction, in the same period,
OF the tuberculosis death rate from 1869
per hundred thousand of population to $50.
Public health is purchasable" and the
Health Department report, while taking
some satisfaction in the progress shown
here, warns against complacency which
would lead to false confidence. We are
just beginning to see the possibilities for
improved public health that follow in
telligent expenditures in the field Future
betterment in public health programs and
services" the report suggests, rests with
the general public's desire for better
health" The desire exists, of course. It's
persuasive expression by the public be-
comes more insistent with public knowl-
edge of what can be accomplished and
the nature of facilities available.

VonduIs in the Temple Church

Once again Americans who have visited
the famous Temple Church in London are
shocked to hear that it has been desc
Grated. German bombs wrecked the an
cient structure in 1910. Now comes news
to the effect that vandals have broken into
the tombs of long-dead Knights Templar,
seemingly in quest of jewelry believed to
have been inferred with them. What they
found Is not known.
More than seven centuries have passed
since the round part of the church proper
was built. It's style originally was Transi-
ton Norman with handsome ornamen-
tation" The choir, dated .124o. was IAN
admirable example of early English" Both
portions of the structure were supported
by clustered marble pillars. On the floors
and ceilings were the symbolic lamb with
a flag and winged horse. Nine recum-
bent marble figures of knights in full
aymor survived the great fire of 1856 It
probably was the monument of William
Marshal Earl of Pembroke, brother-in-
law Of King John and regent of England
during the minority of Henry III, that at
tracted the robbers. He died in 1919, and
his, position in the court may have
prompted the enrichment of his sepulcher

and thus rendered it an object of irreverent

and thus rendered it an object of irreverent
invasion.
Much earlier vandals, however, are un-
derstood to have disturbed the Temple
Church. The building and its environs
became crown property on the dissolution
of the order of "the poor soldiers of the
Temple of Solomon" in 1873 It passed to
the Knights of st. John and was leased
by them to "the students of common law"
IN l346. Henry VIII seized the whole
establishment in 1541 and it was thor
oughly explored by his agents. James
granted it to the benchers of the Inner
and Middle Temples in 1901. and it once
more on that occasion was examined care
fully. What the Nazi luftwaffe blasted
was only the remnant of the inclusive de-
sign of medieval times. The tombs now
discovered to have been ransacked were

ludicrous dilemma to another through
seemingly endless ages. It Is kindly
book; there is little malice, little satire
in it. Readers laugh at its grotesqueries,
but their laughter never is derisive. In
stead, each individual perusing the volume
becomes for the moment a philosopher,
rich in folk experience, as he turns the
pages. At the end the one imperative
lesson of earthly existence is learned-the
lesson OF mercy and fellowship.

Love and the KremIin

Despite persistent appeals to the highest
levels, the unsentimental Soviet govern
ment continues adamant in its refusal to
let fifteen young Russian wives join their
British husbands in England. Prime Min
lister Stain himself is said to have looked
into the matter, but still the answer is a
harsh mo-" Apparently when the Krem-
lin fixes a policy it stays fixed, and not
even the most moving affair of the heart
can change or soften it.
The British husbands have been up
against a stone wall for two years.
During wartime service in the U. S. s. r..
they met, wooed and won their Russian
brides, but when their tour of duty was
over, the brides could not return to Eng
land with them. What they failed to
reckon with when they were married was
that the day would come when the Kremlin
would not merely frown on such matches,
but do its best to make them wither from
enforced separation. To top everything
of with kind OF bitter joke, moreover,
the Moscow bureaucracy is reported to
have decided that ten of the wives must
pay the regular tax of about 5000 a year
for being childless. These ten-together
with the five who have children-have
been described by London newspaper as
the loneliest women in the world" Their
husbands in England seem to be mighty
lonely, too, but that has made no difference
as far as the Soviet government is con-
cerned.
Quite obviously, whoever said that love
makes the whole world kin, that it laughs
at locksmiths, that it conquers all, never
knew about the hard hearts in the Krem-
lin. Here is another one of those many
Facets Of policy that do anything but en-
dear Communist Russia to outsiders. The
mystery wrapped up in an enigma" ap-
pears to be becoming more difficult to
understand with each new day.

Cervuntes

The four hundredth anniversary of the
birth OF Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
nnds him supreme in his field. He is the
greatest OF Spaniards. Through his crea-
tons, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
especially, he still influences the world,
Not scholars only, but thousands of ordi-
nary people read his book and are con-
structively affected by its teachings. Only
one other man OF his own age has had a
comparable impact upon the universal
public.
How the celebrated humorist managed
this tremendous achievement probably
always will be a matter of debate. No
satisfactory clue can be discovered in his
biography. Cervantes was born at Alcala
de Henares on or about September 20,
l547; he was educated obscurely and yet
with literary career in prospect; he tray
eled In Italy, Joined the army of Don John
OF Austria, participated in the Battles of
Lepanto and Navarino, was crippled by a
gunshot, captured and sold into slavery by
Barbary pirates, then after five horrible
years of captivity ransomed and returned
home. Next followed long, dreary strug-
gle to gain congenial employment; frus-
tration, prosecution and imprisonment for
debt. Even his strictly personal life was
unfortunate. He was old, disappointed
melancholy when he sat down to the
making of the manuscript of the sorrowful
tale of the Ingenious Knight of La Mancha
and his saucy squire. The first portion of
the finished text as we know it was pub
lished in 1905; the second portion in 1915
Between those dates Cervantes had q
plentitude of fame but practically no
money. On April %, 1915, he died His
most notable contemporary, William
Shakespeare, curiously enough, departed
the same day.
But the Bard of Avon was a success and
the master of all prose fctionists was a
failure. Yet the sponsor of Don Quixote
triumphed as few other writers ever did.

stable, solid government and have attempted
to smear experienced Greek officials in the eyes
OF the world. Amazingly enough, the Com
munists and their allies have been astoundinely
successful In the United States and elsewhere
IN poisoning the minds of democratic peoples
against conservative Greek leaders by labelling
them with every smear name in the book.
5. Strategically, the Russian plans have gone
ahead with the completion of the Kremlin's
plans for master deal in which Yugoslayia
would support Bulgaria in the latters taking
over OF Thrace, in return for Yugoslavia's Sc
curing Greek Macedonia
The implications of the Russians success thus
far are still only barely perceived by minority
OF the American people. The democratic world
apparently does not yet fully realize that
one Russian arm already encircles virtu-
ally all OF Northern Europe, including the
Balkan States, Poland and East Prussia. Thus
II the other Russian arm IS allowed to sweep
up through Southern Europe by smashing
Greece, all Of Europe would be locked In a
death embrace by the Russian bear
Viewing this gigantic danger it can readily
be seen that not only is United States victory
needed in the United Nations General Assem-
bly,, but there Is also needed the speediest i'm
