The scene has inspired more than
one question, like this: "Of Che hun

The answer brought re-appraisal
of the scene, for the idea is new to
many who enjoy the shore. The
view near at hand at the inn is not
all water. Little fingers of land dart
out from the creeks shores, and the
visitor sees the fisherman trudging
up the path from his boat to his

the wash ripples the waters against

A Timely Statement

Inc statement winch has been made to
the Security Council by Herschel v. john
son, deputy American delegate, is timely,
both in its own right and because it lends
some meaning to the cautious antiquities
In the earlier report from Trygve Lie,
United Nations Secretary General.
Mr.. Lie said that the real trouble which
confronts the world arises In large meas
ure from basic political situation which
underlies and affects all international
political, economic and social activity"
MIR. Lie was careful to avoid identifying
this political situation with any particular
country. But Mr. johnson called a spade
spade.
Addressing himself to the Soviet Union,
Mr.. Johnson told the Security Council
I'VE are no longer under the necessity of
attempting to appease further threaten
ing Veto Let us now record our honest
opinions"
He then proceeded to announce as his
opinion that the Russians are using the
veto lin defense of the aggressions of
'Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria." and
he served notice that, veto or no veto,
the United States is prepared to join with
other countries, within the provisions of
the U. N. Charter, for the purpose of
protecting Greece.
There is nothing in this that is really
new, for at most it is merely statement
for the record of what has long been either
obvious or plainly indicated. Certainly it
has been obvious that the Russians have
been using the veto to further aggressive
aims, in this instance at the expense of
Greece. And it has hardly been less obvi-
Gus that, when the showdown comes, the
United States, within the limits of the
Charter and in conjunction with the other
nations, would have to go to the aid of
Greece.
1t is highly doubtful that this would
result in war with Russia. Even Mr.. Lie
says that he is convinced that mo re-
sponsible statesman in any country can,
or does, contemplate the prospect of war"
OF course, no one can say what may flow
out OF the acts of irresponsible statesmen.
But World War II and the events leading
up to it should have taught us that ap-
peasement OF aggressors holds no promise
OF peace. The only real hope of fore
stalling war lies in making clear to the
world that this time, we will not tolerate
aggression anywhere, and in being pre-
pared to back up that assurance.

WelI-Deserved Decorations

1t Is unfortunate that it took an act OF
Congress to induce the Navy Department
to give Vice Admiral Charles E. Rosendahl
U. S. NJ, retired, the recognition he so we'll
deserves for his leadership in lighter-than-
air aviation during and before World War
II. A controversy within the department
is said to have delayed the awards until
after the veteran airman's retirement.
Admiral Rosendahl, by direction OF
Congress, now wears the Distinguished
Flying Cross for his feat in skillfully bal
looming" part of the storm broken dirigible
Shenandoah to a safe landing in Ohio in
1925. He was navigator of the Inflated
airship, and he continued to direct the
navigation of the truncated craft until he
and six companions reached the earth.
The Navy also finally decided to decorate
Admiral Rosendahl with the Distinguished
Service Medal, highest noncombat award.
This climaxed dispute in the department
over a recommendation by the Board Of
Awards that the DsM be granted the

admiral for his work in developing and
directing blimp operations against sub
marines. lesser award, the Legion of
Merit, was made instead. 1t is we'll known
that Admiral Rosendahl encountered
strong resistance in old-line naval circles
when he proposed his blimp antisubmarine
fleet. His vigorous campaigning before
the war for lighter-th air aviation had
been interrupted several times by assign
ment to sea duty. Early in World War II
he again was sent to sea, where he won
the Navy Cross as skipper of the cruiser
Minneapolis in an action off the Solomons
AS the blimps began to fulfill Admiral
Rosendahl's estimates of them in the battle
of the Atlantic, he was called back to his
old station, Lakehurst, and given charge of
new lighter -than-air training and op-
irrational command Even though the
blimps continued to demonstrate their
value as U-boat spoilers, however, they
still had their critics in high naval levels.
That ill-feeling resulting from disagree
ment over lighter -than-air policies should
have deprived Admiral Rosendahl of full
recognition for his outstanding services
is most regrettable. The belated awards
should help to counteract the bad taste
left by this incident.

Demands District Self.Rule

To the Editor Of The Star:
Pertaining to home rule in the District OF
Columbia, advocate and insist that the per-
manent residents thereof be given the same
rights as the permanent residents of the 4S
States, lie, the right to nominate and elect
their own officials from the Governor on Mayor
down, except that the Federal Government be
required to pay i>r the maintenance Of Its real
property situated therein, including electricity,
fuel gas, water and materials and services
furnished or rendered to 1t by the said Dis
trict, because any other way would not be fair
nor justified
Taxation without representation caused the
Revolutionary War and the permanent resi-
dents Of the said District have been victims
of the same nefarious treatment for many
years; therefore, they are under a despotic
regime.

to pay taxes If he or she were not permitted

remain in Russia and therefore will not be
involved In repatriation proceedings.
That the early return of all Germans to
their tatherland Is desirable from an eco
nomic standpoint goes without saying
The labor shortage is seriously hampering
efforts of British and American officials to
rebuild German industry to a self-support-
ing basis. Since Russia never has evi-
denced any great enthusiasm over such
program, her cooperation in returning
German prisoners to their homes Is not
likely to be of the wholehsarted variety.

A Hopeful Atomic Project

IL was quite hitting that the first peace
time atomic pile should supplant IA
nous military camp. Just as Brookhaven
has replaced the two-war veteran Camp
Upton, on Long Island, so the sponsors of
Americas new nuclear reactor hope even
tually to develop atomic energy for peace
full uses instead of for war.
The scientists obviously approach their
latest atomic research undertaking with
greater enthusiasm and lighter hearts than
they undertook the secret studies and ex-
periments which led to the frightful de-
struction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Then they were seeking-and found-a
key to the unlocking of the most terrible
explosive power ever discovered They felt
justified in lending their talents to death
dealing project because they were conf
dent that the terrible military weapon
would bring quick end to World War II
and save thousands of American lives.
1t Is under far brighter conditions that
these nuclear pioneers have launched the
Brookhaven National Laboratory. This
ten-million-dollar project-authorized and
financed by the Government-will be de-
voted largely to the production of radios
active isotopes intended not to spell the
doom Of man but to be boon to him. In
the laboratories adjoining the pile groups
OF eminent physicists and chemists will
seek new uses for the various radioactive
products Of the nuclear furnace" With
these isotopes they may find revolutionary
ways Of harnessing the atom in the fields
OF medicine, industry, agriculture and else
where. Use of the by-products OF atomic
energy already holds much promise in the
study and treatment of cancer and other
diseases. Nuclear power for industrial and
domestic purposes is an alluring prospect
The only dark cloud lowering over the
undertaking is the failure Of the world
powers as yet to agree on means of guar
anteeing that atomic energy will never
again be used as weapon of war. Until
that guaranty exists, our national security
requires that military uses of the atom be
given priority over peaceful uses. Even at
Brookhaven the military possibilities OF
nuclear power will continue to be studied
Until these researches into the destructive
capacities of the split atom can be per-
manently discarded in favor of researches
into its constructive potentialities, the
Brookhaven project will fall short of its
hoped-for shining destiny.

Drinks for Minors

The reaction to Corporation Counsel
Vests ruling which would pave the way
to drinking by minors in public places
is credit to the good sense of those who
sell drinks and those who regulate the
trade.
Mr.. West Is competent and conScien-
tious public official. But in this instance
1t seems to The Star that he has tortured
the language of the law to find loop
hole through which, in practical effect,
drinks could be sold to minors. To be
sure, the drink would have to be ordered
and paid for by an adult (any one over
could not set the drink down in front Of
the minor. But this Is nothing more than
shabby subterfuge, for under the meaning
and intent of the West ruling, the adult
could hand the drink over to the minor,
so that, for all practical purposes, the
minor might just as well have been served
in the first instance.
Judging from Mr. Vests discourse on
the evils of drinking in automobiles, he
seems to have a definite preference for
drinking in bars. But 1t Is hard to follow
his reasoning For while drinking in auto
mobiles is bad thing, it by no means
follows that that evil would be cured by
permitting minors to drink in public
places On the contrary, after two or three
drinks in bar the probability is that a
minor would be more likely to 60 out In
an automobile and continue drinking.
In any event, it is encouraging to learn
40 $Ln oh 1tv1c fnY1
Restaurant Association will continue,
despite the ruling, to refuse to serve drinks
to minors. They are wise In this, Tor
nothing could be more harmful to their
business than to contribute to drinking
by minors in evasion Of the plain intent
of the law It is also encouraging to learn
that the ABC Board, startled by this
reversal of their thirteen-year-old inter-
pretation of the law, will ask the Comnlis-
sioners to tighten up the regulations In
an effort to offset the effect of the ruling.
It is very hard to believe that Congress,
In prohibiting the sale or delivery of drinks
to minors, deliberately intended to leave
the way open to an Interpretation of the
law which would sanction the very evil
that the legislators had prohibited. IN
effect, Mr.. West says that this is the case.
But the common sense of the community
is against him, and, If his view of the law
prevails, then it is imperative that the
law itself be changed. Meanwhile, the
majority of the dispensers of drinks are
to be congratulated on their refusal to be
parties to what would almost certainly
contribute to the delinquency of young
boys and girls.
