further observes that from now on,
Mickey will play his age on the

June Haver is a wise little cookie
When she called on LIE Roy Prinz-
the boy who is doing the dance

don't be too surprised If Ray Bolger

The Muyonnuise Problem

As soon as it solves its somewhat larger
and more pressing problems, America
ought to take steps against the increas-
ingly indiscriminate use of mayonnaise on
sandwiches whose nature demands that
they be seasoned with nothing but
ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, good hot
mustard, or plain salt and pepper. There
was time when one did not have to
worry about this, but now-probably as
result of careless habits acquired during
the war-it constitutes a real trial for
all cultivated and taste-conscious patrons
of drugstore lunch counters and similar
snack bars.
The trouble is that most of the people
behind such bars-usually young and
hence an easy prey to outlandish notions
seem to believe that sandwiches of every
description are somehow enhanced If the
bread is smeared with thick splash of
mayonnaise. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The dressing may be all
right for things like tuna fish specials, but
1t simply does not belong in the same
company with bologna, liverwurst, ham,
roast beef, hamburger, minute steak and
other delicacies Of the same general sort.
Evening star., 1947-12-08

It ought never to be put on them unless
the customer-for some strange and fool
ish reason-specifcally requests it. As far
as the true lunch counter gourmet is con-
cerned, it is maddening when misapplied
"a form Of cruel and unusual punish
ment.f
Take the ham sandwich, for instance.
When mayonnaise is plastered on the
bread, the poor eater suffers terrible
mismating of favors, especially If he ap-
plies mustard, which is what this par
ticular meat calls for. OF course, it may
be said that the gourmet can avoid this
danger by giving clear instructions to the
counterman. But such instructions are so
easy to forget, and habit is so strong, that
that safeguard is dubious at best.
What is needed is a far-reaching edu-
cational program to make clear to the
Nations drugstore and snack-bar per-
sonnel that there are limits to the null
titudinous uses Of mayonnaise and that
these limits apply with particular force
to sandwiches made of meats Chat have
an affinity only for seasonings like mus
tard or ketchup. Until there Is full
understanding all around on this score,
the more hnicky of us are going to keep
on having sad lunch-counter experiences.
The time is about here to call halt.

Near East Issues

To the Editor OF The STAR
Reports from Palestine these days indicate
to very large extent lack of comprehension
of the real issues in the Near East by many
of the world statesmen.
What many U. N. delegates failed to realize
is the element of the rise Of Arab nationalism.
All over the Middle East, Arab nationalism in
the modern sense has been evolving quite
rapidly, expressed usually by joint action on
behalf of Arabs in Palestine, who were re-
garded by the nationalists as victims Of
aggression and infiltration.
All the way through our delegation has been
subjected to the infammatory propaganda OF
Zionists, our leaders have made irresponsible
promises of Jewish state in Palestine, for the
sake of bringing votes to their parties. This
complete disregard Of the Arabs right to Pal
estine has resulted not only in our support to
partition, but IN lobbying for the partition on
the basis that the small states need "leader." !"
The results were disastrous.
The partition Of Palestine is an example OF
how statesmen OF the world can be subjected
to emotions instead Of reason and facts, an
unfortunate start for preserving peace.

What About That Garage? ?
TO the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The STAR
Not long ago the Star printed an article sug-
gesting an underground garage where thous-
ands of cars could be parked. Has the commit
tee appointed to look into this proposed con-
struction shelyed the problem along with the
other musty documents?
San Francisco has an excellent triple deck
underground parking space, centrally located
IN Union Square. Why can't Washington find
an enterprising young man to investigate the
possibility of building an underground parking
lot between the District Building, the Labor
Department Building and the Post Office
Building? This space now accommodates only
few hundred cars. If we had garage of the
type built in San Francisco, the capacity could
be increased three-fold
With all due respect to the memory Of
Oscar S. Straus, whose statue was recently
unveiled in the aforementioned area, it seems
that Washington has enough statues in every
available plot Of land. A parking space would
be more practical
We are proud of our beautiful buildings, lack
OF overhead trolley wires, and conservative neon
signs in the downtown section. We could be
proud OF our modern underground garage in
the center Of ,Washington-if we had one.

our God-given wealth. As the President
has enjoined us, good citizenship, simple
common sense and a patriotic regard for
the future of our country demand that we
engage in full and complete conservation
of all our resources" through every tech
nical and chronological means at our
disposal.
What this injunction boils down to is
the homely but ever-true old adage of
waste not, want not" 1t is certainly every
bit as applicable to the whole Nation as
to the single individual. In the Presidents
words, "the wise use of our natural
resources" must be the foundation of all
that we do to keep America prosperous
and strong, both for its own sake and for
the sake of freedom and peace throughout
the world. The point is not open to debate

AGood Soldier

As a young major. stationed in Wash
ington before the First World War, Gen.
eral Douglas Macarthur was assigned by
the late Newton D. Baker to take charge
of War Department public relations. He
was the hrst officer so assigned, and he
did most Of the work himself Later on,
when General Macarthur was Chief Of
Staff, he selected another young major,
Alexander D. Surles. for the same job
And later still, when it appeared that we
were headed for another war in Europe,
Surles was detached from his command
of the First Armored Division and brought
to Washington to put into effect a plan
he had drawn up on paper for War
Department Public Relations staff. His
heart was with his troops. But being a
good soldier, he took over thankless and
difficult assignment in Washington and
stayed with 1t through the war. He had
the newspaperman's point of view and the
professional soldiers knowledge OF the
Army machine and the requirements of
security. When he left his post after the
war he had won the deep affection of
those with whom he dealt in the field of
public information and the respect and
confidence of his military colleagues. His
death on Saturday has removed a familiar
figure from Washington, a man whose
integrity, common sense and fine loyalty
endeared him to all who knew him.

The Need to Conserve

In his fine address dedicating Everglades
National Park, President Truman has
voiced warning the American people can
ignore only at the risk of elf-impoverish-
ment. The warning is this: That the great
natural beauty and wealth of our land are
not inexhaustible, that they must not be
selfshly exploited, that they cannot take
care of themselves, and that they need to
be industriously cultivated and carefully
husbanded if the Nation is to remain
generation.
AS the President has declared, our
superb public park system constitutes but
one part of the overall effort that must
be made to conserve and replenish our
natural resources. Although our good
American earth is endowed with more
riches than have been bestowed on any
other people, we are in no position to play
the role of Aesop's foolish grasshopper
We must think not merely of today, but
OF tomorrow as well. We must remember
for example, that we are lacking in
numerous minerals and must therefore
continue to import and stockpile them.
We must remember. too, that not many
years from now-what with our growing
population-we may find our agricultural
output inadequate for our own domestic
needs unless we take measures in the
meantime to guard against such menaces
as soil-destroying floods and short-sighted
farming of the sort that can cause dust
bowls.
The President has forcefully summed up
the situation in these words: IF we waste
our minerals by careless mining and proc
essing, we shall not be able to build the
machinery to till the land. If we waste
the forests by careless numbering, we shall
lack housing and construction materials
for factory, farm and mine. If we waste
the water through failure to build hydro
electric plants, we shall burn our reserves
of coal and oil needlessly II we waste
our soil through erosion and failure to
replenish our fields we shall destroy the
source of our peoples food" The "ifs'
speak pretty much for themselves. They
plainly indicate the line we must follow tc
live up to the responsibilities implicit In
