They admit they dare not be
complacent and they will continue
the pounding offensive with which
the debate was begun. And they
hope Senator McKellar's fragile
health will prove equal to the strain
as they figure his vindictive attacks

considerable pleasure that they
watched Senator Mcclellan move
over to the Republican side Of the

House Democrats who are battling

that the White House has not
changed its mind about the unwis-
dom of lowering taxes now and are
being encouraged to build that rec
ord looking toward a presidential
veto. It Is all part Of the general
picture Of Democratic confidence
which is now 50 markedly on the
Evening star., 1947-03-27

David Lilienthal should not be In
trusted with an important Govern
nent task because "a shadow OF
suspicion" has been thrown over his
name. And this Notwithstanding
that they know how that shadow
of suspicion was created and why;
and although they know that such
a shadow can De raised against any
man living. 1t requires only one
person to voice suspicion and a
second person to repeat it and the
shadow is there, to trouble its vic
tim the rest of his life.
Only Whisper Needed.
David Lilienthal will come through
his present ordeal, according to all
evidence. But it is not to be ex-
pected that all Government en-
ployes will be so fortunate. A fellow
employe with personal grudge or a
jealous ambition of his own has only
to start the whisper and an in
vestigation will be under way. The
investigation may eventually prove
the employees utter loyalty, but the
damage will have been done. 1t
will be known that the man was "in-
vestigated" and suspicion concern
ing him never will ole down. Where
there's smoke there must be fire"
That sort of thing.
However, it is too much to ask the
President to recall his order He can
only be asked to strengthen the safe
guards with which he sought to sur
round the Frankenstein monster his
order creates.
One thing he might do would be
to reconsider the power given the
Attorney General to designate Or
ganizations as ''totalitarian, Fascist,
Communist or subversive," making
membership in, affiiliation with or
sympathetic association with" such
organizations proof of disloyalty.
That is a dangerous power to give
any Attorney General. The tempta-
tion to put the label of disloyalty on
any organization that opposed him
politically or criticized his operations
in office, might be too great.
A Case in Point.
And occasionally a weak man be-
comes Attorney General. Such a
man might be moved, for example,
to accept the accusations of the
House Un-American Cop1mittee as
facts. After all the Attorney General
gets his appropriation from Con-
gresS.
A case in point is the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare.
This organization, founded by well
known and very respectable South
erners back in 1889, with President
Frank P. Graham of the University
of North Carolina as it's president,
works for the betterment of the
South. 1t seeks fuller use of the
regions natural resources, better
housing, health and educational IA
cilities, fair freight rates, abolition
of the poll tax, aid to veterans and
the like. Some Southern Congress
members regard such a program as
communistic and have worked hard
to smear the conference with that
adjective. They have succeeded to
the extent that certain newspapers
unblushingly refer to the conference

Paul Porter's personal report on
Greece has fortified his self-confi-

White House caller was assured,
check absolutely with the diplomatic
dispatches and military intelligence
on which the President relied in the
first instance.

that it was by-passed are continuing.

ing States are California, Virginia,
Maryland and Texas.
@. When was Christianity intro
duced into Japan?--H. c. R.
A. Portuguese traders first brought
the Christian faith to Japan in
1912, and were followed by Xavier
in 1549. By 1894, there were 1,5OO,-
600 Christians. In the next century,
however, there was great persecu-
ton of the Christians in Japan.
In 1859 Christian missionary work
in Japan was revived.

Samurai, the nobility and a few
wealthy persons were permitted
family names. They were usually
taken from description of the land
they owned. Recently, farmers and
businessmen were allowed to adopt
surnames and usually took those of
their villages or dwelling places. In
many instances popular names were
chosen without regard to meaning.
japanese family names do not de-
scribe occupations like those Of
western countries.

Arnold die and where is he buried?

ago and bought these five shares
they have caused me more grief
than anything that has ever hap
pened to me, and I have had plenty
of grief including chicken pox
measles, car sickness, cinders in my
eyes, and gout.
These five shares were my first
venture into the realm of high
finance and they're my last. Rather
than develop another case of Wall
Street itch, I'll bury any spare
money I happen to get hold of
in a sock in the back yard three

Needless of Advice.
I should have known better than
to invest in stock. The wisest man
I ever knew, an uncle of my wife,
told me years ago never to get
mixed up in stocks. He said 1t
wasn't worth it, that there was too
much of the fine and enjoyable in
this world for man to go to bed or
get up in the morning worrying
about what soap company had
done, or how a railroad was pro-
crossing, or how things were going
with copper mine.
He counseled me that a man, no
matter how much money he had,
could sleep in only one bed, eat one
meal, and wear one suit Of clothes at
a time. If you have enough money
to do that, he advised, just hang
on to 1t and let others worry about
the millions, billions, trillions, and
chocolate frosted yachts.
But I yielded to temptation and
the advice of friend who let me
in on this good thing" Until I got
my five shares, I didn't even know
there was such a thing as a market
page in a newspaper. Now, I skip
the front page, the comics, and the
sports pages in my eagerness to get
to the market page which, I must
say, is the dullest-looMng page in
any newspaper. They don't dress it
up with pictures and they set 1t in
print that assures the fact that all
stockholders will eventually have to
wear glasses.
Sitting on Ants Nest.
That fool stock Of mine scars up
and down like sea gull in cur
rent. One day I'm $12 richer and
the next I'm $14 poorer. I live in

opening, noon, and half a dozen
other idiotic things that I don't
know anything about. When !
bought the stock, I was told Just to
put it away and forget it." That
was great piece of advice. might
just as well have been told to sit
down on an ants nest and then
forget about it.
How high can stock go? I keep
dreaming Of mine going to 10000.
Also, how low can a stock 60? I
keep dreaming Of mine going to
minus 10000.
Heavens, what do men do who
have thousands and thousands OF
shares OF stock? How do they know
when to sell? And If they sell at IA
