An Essential Prison Program

The District Parole Board has good
grounds for reiterating past recommended
tions for a broad program of rehablllta-
ton and vocational training in local penal
establishments. The failure of the District
to provide such a program in the past has
made the work of the board more difficult.
The parole authorities have found that
the task of giving former prisoner new
start in life is immeaSurably greater if he
lacks the skills needed to place him in job.
Yet the only training which has been
available to prisoners at Occoquan has
been in the shops where license plates and
a few other District items are made. The
experience gained in this line of work is of
little value in seeking employment on the
outside. Parole officials say that fewer
persons would violate their paroles if they
we're trained in some useful trade during
their term of imprisonment,
The District Department of Corrections
has recognized the need for such training
and has prepared a program for the local
prisons. More adequate appropriations
will enable the department to provide a
more adequate program. The Parole Board,
in its annual report calls on the public to
support this essential part of the overall
correctional process" Without this sup
port the best efforts of penal and parole
authorities have little prospect of success.

An Issue That Fell FLot

Labor leaders who have been planning
to make vigorous use of the Taft-Hartley
law as an issue in the 1948 campaign will
derive no encouragement from the Repub-
lican victory in the eighth congressional
district of Pennsylvania. Most political
forecasters had predicted that the district
would stay in the COP congressional
column, as it has radtionally-except for
the New Deal overturn in 1888 and in two
successive elections. But the margin by
which the Republican nominee, Franklin
H. LchtenWalter, defeated his labor sup
ported Democratic opponent, Phil H.
StorCh, is so large as to indicate that the
labor forces were exploiting phony issue
in the race.
1t was not Mr. IichtenWalters idea to
inject the new labor law into the campaign.
The issue was raised by Mr.. Storch, who
is head of the CIO Lehigh Valley NeWspa-
per Guild, and by his active supporters in
labor ranks, including Phil Murray of the
CIO, Walter Reuther of the United Auto
mobile Workers and Franklin D. Roosevelt,
jr, counsel of the Upholsterers' Union. At
first Mr. LichtenWalter was inclined to
take the issue lightly, pointing out that
Democratic votes had lot to do with pas
sage of the Taft-Hartley law But toward
the end of the campaign he accepted the
challenge and launched into a spirited de-
fense of. the law and an attack on the
labor bosses opposing him.
Having raised the labor issue, the union
leaders backing Mr.. Storch are not in a
good position to discount the issue as a
factor. in the outcome of the election. They
undoubtedly would have made the most
of it if there had been Democratic victory
or even a close race. Actually, however,
the Pennsylvania by-election followed gen.
orally the lines foreseen by seasoned polit-
ical observers, who based their estimates
not on bloWn-up labor issues but on past
performances of the voters in customarily
Republican district. The outcome clearly
indicates that the majority of voters in
Bucks and Lehigh Counties was not i'm
pressed by the labor TRADES against the
so-called slave labor" statute. In short,
the union drive to bury the Taft-Hartley
Act under an avalanche of votes has gotten
off to a bad start

'Crossino the Line

According to Rear Admiral Leland P.
Lovette's well-known standard reference

age" the boisterous ceremonies to which
President Truman and his party will submit
as they cross the Equator today ARE of
such ancient vintage that their derivation
is lost" The Vikings are supposed to have
started the habit of celebrating the passing
of certain parallels, and the Angles, Saxons
and Normans are believed to have inher-
tied the rule. But the rites themselves
suggest a classic source such as more
probably might have arisen in the Medi-
terranean area, where the influence of
Greece and Rome naturally would be
likely to be felt, rather than in the north.
The Olympian deity of the ocean realm,
in anv case. is the central character in
the ludicrous proceedings. Captain Fred
erick Marryat, in Frank Mldmay," repre-
sents the ship being hailed from the
supposed depths of the sea the evening
before the line is to be reached and the
captain is given the compliments of Nep-
tune and asked to muster his novices for
the sea-lords inspection" When the
vessel is hove to at the proper place the
next day, the. god pompously appears
with "a long beard of oakum, an iron
crown on his head and a trident with
small dolphin between its prongs' in his
right hand. His attendants consist of

and decorations.
Candidates for initiation include all per-

captain to the humblest passenger, who
have not previously crossed the line"
They are designated collectively as polly

are expected to submit is intended to
make them "shellbacks." Admiral Lovette
explains: Usually the ceremonies
are picturesque" which surely Is a
mild adjective to apply to them. The
Marryat definition stipulates: 1T is the
roughest sort of rough manhandling, but
it is short shrift for those who take it
good naturedly and, like bear batting,

tors" Nobody doubts that President Tru-
man can take it with grin.

anything like progressive democratic society

Hinduisms hold on its votaries is amazing
An attempted reformation by the great rel-
gious teacher, Gautama Buddha, long before
the Christian era was ultimately extinguished
in India by Brahmin counter reformation
though Buddhism converted most of the lands
to the eastward of India and is today one of
the worlds leading religions. During the past
century, a number of reforming sects have
arisen, and Gandhi has preached against caste
abuses, but the caste system still prevails. In
dominated by combination of Brahmins and
western-trained intellectuals, who have pooled
their power to rule India.
Hinduism's chief rival is Islam. The Moham-
medans began invading India 1000 years ago,
finding the land so disunited that they were
increasingly successful Islam is the antithesiS

very hostility to caste and idolatry provoked
the undying hostility of the Brahmins and
high-castes, who have consistently preached
that Islam is an impious encroachment which
must be rooted out of India's sacred soil.
Religious Turmoil Develops.
The Moslems very nearly conquered India,
their high point being the establishment of
the so-called Mogul Empire early in the
18th century. But it presently declined, the
Brahmins staged a comeback and militant
offshoot of Hinduism, the Sikhs. added to
the anti -Moslem reaction. BY the next century,
india was a welter of warning principalities,
based on religious differences.
It was into this chaotic India that the Euro
peans established their settlements, Out of
their mutual rivalries the British emerged as
victors, and they gradually extended their
power over the whole of India less by sheer
force than by statecraft. They brought peace
order and impartial justice. But they did not
change the character of India itself. What
they did was to freeze" the basic situation.
An aloof governing class, they struck no roots
in Indian soil and sedulously refraned from
interfering in the beliefs and customs of their
subjects.
Thus, the British regime in India was even
more superficial than that of Rome over its
provinces. Despite material improvements like
railways, machine industry and sanitation, the
hearts of the Indians were never won over to
British ideals and institutions. The old spirit
ual divisions. the historic rivalries and hatreds,
were always there.
British rule in India thus essentially

old India emerges once more Unless by some

Aquin Stymie Over Korea

Once more, Moscow has blocked an at
tempt to settle the Korean problem. This
time its chronic obstructiveness took the
form of rejection of an American invi-
tation to a four-power conference for
consideration as to how to implement the
original Moscow Agreement of 1945. That
agreement arrived at between America,
Britain, China and Soviet Russia, is the
basis upon which America and Russia,
the signatories who actually occupy Korea,
have vainly negotiated for more than two
years. Our proposal envisaged round
table discussion of all the signatories in
an endeavor to break the RuSSo-American
deadlock. But Moscow has now turned
down this new method of approach.
The Soviet refusal was, of course, not
unexpected. To have accepted our pro-
posal would, indeed, have been a surprising
change of Moscows diplomatic pattern.
And the consequence of it's refusal is that
the proposal itself is shelved, because
discussion between America, Britain and
China over program for all Korea would
have been pointleSs, with the northern half
of the country in Russian hands and
Russia itself stubbornly absent.
This contingency having been fairly
predictable, it may be asked why our State
Department ever made the conference
proposal The answer would seem to lie
in our larger diplomatic strategy The
conference was to have convened before
the next session of the General Assembly
of the United Nations. If Moscow accepted,
we'll and good. 1t would then have had
promptly to show its hand to the U. N.
as we'll as to it's fellow signatories Now
that Moscow has refused the way is
clearer for America to lay the matter
before the U. N.
A thorough airing of the Korean problem
at the General Assembly session, where
discussion is unlimited, should spread
before the world the sordid story of Soviet
casuistry obstruction and double dealing
in Korea. Even though the U. N. proves
unable to do anything positive in the
matter, our Government will be in better
posture to do what it has several times
intimated it might do in default of an

Susie is blond and 4, Tina is black and 6.
Susie, regular child, goes on two feet;

Pretty soon here came the child bearing
large platter with the biggest slice of cake
Templeton Jones ever saw.
And no wonder.
1t was a 1o-layer affair, plain, simple cake
with orange icing.

you need fork.
And she darted into the house, ran straight
to the kitchen cabinet, opened the top and

1t had always been the Jones habit to save
the icing until last, but this time he began
as Susie advised.

1t must be said for our friend Jones that he

Lo, What Splendid Names!

1t is a good experience to pick up a
paper like the Gordon Journal of Gordon,
Nebraska-a paper once operated by
Dwight Griswold, our Greek aid admins
trator-and read about people whose
names are not those we see in the head
lines nearly every day in our own part of
the world.
Molotov, Doris Duke, Bob Taft, Harry
Truman, Andrei Gromyko, Betty CRADLE
Hank Wallace, ETC., are all celebrities of
one kind or another, and they are named
mellifluously enough, but their constant
popping in and out of the news gets just
a bit tiresome. 1t is a pleasure, therefore,
to run across a story about others for a
change-doubly and trebly so when it is
a story like the one in recent issue of the
Gordon Journal
Printed under the straightforward head
line Police Court News the story was
simply an objective list of names and facts,
an abridgment of which follows: Jake
Pretty Hips, intoxication, fined $40 and
costs. Joseph Running Hawk, intoxication,
fined $40 and costs. Samuel Smashed
Ice, intoxication, fined $40 and costs.
Owen Red Shirt, intoxcation. fined $40
and costs. Ed Cut Grass, vagrancy, fined
81 and costs. Leo Brings Plenty,
vagrancy, fined ST and costs Roy Bad
Yellow Hair, disturbing the peace and
intoxication. fined SIS and COSTS
Doris Duke, Bob Taft Betty Cradle,
Hank Wallace-how pallid are all such
names when compared with those of the
Indians around Gordon, Nebraska! They
may have been wayWard, but Roy Bad
Yellow Hair and his tribal brethren before
the court can take certain pride in the
Americas only genuine first family, but
also that they are named so spectacularly,
so imaginatively, that a simple factual
story about their minor adventures seems
more refreshing by far than anything re-
ported in weeks about the news -monop-
olizing celebrities.
Indeed, there is such a peaceable, self
critical and nonstuffy quality in the names
of these Indians that one must wonder
what the world would be like if every
body we're yclept in much the same man7

Letters to The Star
Music Leadership in the Schools

Music Leadership in the Schools
To the Editor of The Star:
An article in your issue of August 81 sug-
gested strongly that the position OF head OF
the Music Department in the Washington
school system would be filled by an out-of-toWn
person. 1t also stated that twelve OF the many
candidates were local aspirants. To have not
one out of the twelve equipped for this position
seems a sad commentary on the efficiency Of
the present music personnel in the Washington
schools
1t is not strange that DR.. Barnes, who was
an outside appointee, should recommend an
outsider as his successor But it is strange that
a man who has been Director of Music for as
many years as Dr. Barnes has not one local
person to suggest as adequate to receive MS
mantle. Is Washington so benighted in intelll-
gence, so impoverished in administrative aoll'
ity, so deficient in music understanding tnat
sh9must go abroad for leadership?
If she must seek Gn appointee away from
home, let us see to it that one comes in who
will not recall two years of hell" but rather
remember the loyal, valiant support which
WASHINGTON teachers give to their superior om-
GERS. whether these leaders prove inspiring or
otherwise.
A second article, in your edition OF Septem-
Der l. stated Musical education in the puohc
schools practically was nonexistent' at the
time of DR.. Barnes arrival. Such statement
is an insult to Dr. Barnes predecessors, MISS
Alys E. Bentley and DR.. Hamllne E. Cogs"eh.
Both of these directors had contributed OF thelr
talent and energies toward developing school
music program They had erected firm toun-
dation upon which any further structure might
rest.
Alys Bentley was genius whose .matchless
inspiration and invaluable stimulus have never
been forgotten by the staff who taught under
her leadership nor the children who sang under
her magic baton DR.. Cogswell's philosophy OF
music was vastly different from Alys Bentleys,
as both are decidedly different from DR.. Barnes
philosophy.
But both of these former Directors of Music
left worthy program, and one far from the
category "nonexistent." Let us give credit
where credit is due-each to his own achieve
ment. TEACHER.
