Moral Conversion

I believe in the moral conversion
of every son and daughter of Adam
to set him on the right track in
building Christian character. I have
learned that the way of safety is
not in me unless l take the track
that was made in Galilee by Him
who walked and talked not as
men do.
I do not know much of what will
happen to me after l leave this body,
nor do I worry about it. God, who
brought me here, and who cares for
me while here, will never desert
me in the bodyless existence 1 shall
spend in His presence.
I believe that I shall know more
about the future when God reveals
It to me, and, until that time, I shall
walk and work on unafraid, believ-
ing that the last turn of life's road
will be the best"

Helping Others

I believe in neighborliness that
does not ask retdrn payment for
acts of kindness, and I believe that
we are W. so unlike the spirit of
evil as when we forget ourselves in
helping each other. The older ar
lists pictured angels as doing help
full human service. It was a pretty
fancy, but I believe in the angel
hood of the children of God on
earth who put their personalities
above their purses.
I believe in laughter-innocent,
clean laughter, as life's best medi-
cine, and far better than digestive
tablets. I believe in laughter just
as I believe in the wholesome winds
that blow clean and free behind the
rains.

Thoughts on Life
A 1913 Greed

THERE IS MUCH pointing Of ac-
eusing fingers at people who believe
IN creeds. Yet, we are believing
people. Each gives his own partic-
ular emphasis TO the things which
he believes.
If you are interested, here is a
creed for 1948:
I believe that there is One God
back Of all things, including my
small self. For some reason that my
reason can't figure out, God has
given 10 each of us, more or less,
freedom 10 do as we please.
I believe that, because Of our ig-
norance and sin, God allowed
enough of His nature to be born in
q human being in order to show las
the spiritual power by which we
ma defeat evil and enthrone good
10 our hearts.
Good in Everyone
I believe that there is some good
IN the hearts of people lowest sunk
in ignorance, animalism and sin.
And, I believe that every normal
minded person in his better moments
hates himself for his sin and tries
to escape from it.
I believe in the gradual awaken
ing of all branches of the human
family through the revelation of
perfect goodness in Jesus Christ and
that the human race, plus the Spirit
of Christ, can live together at last
IN a spirit of justice, fair dealing
and moral brotherhood.
I believe in hard work, not only
because it makes me healthy, but
because it helps to sanitate and pur-
ify my mind. I do not know OF
any way to express the vital forces
within me or be helpful to my own
loved mes and my neighbors except
through some kind of decent, Gre
alive work.

large areas If this disease is not con-
quered promptly the beautiful eln1s so
long part OF the charm of villages and
suburban areas will be memory in the
not-distant future.
= The lesson in this battle is twofold.
First, we must be on guard lest fungi from
distant sections Of the globe are brought
in which will kill our naples, oaks, birches,
beeches and other native forest trees.
This program will require funds for the
Department of Agriculture to increase its
inspection service at ports of entry. Fungi
and insects travel on fruits, vegetables,
lumber and other commodities. The fruit
fly battle in the citrus groves was dra-
matte example of what can happen here.
The second lesson from the chestnut Is
that our forestry experts must continue
to press their campaign for hybrid tree
crosses. II we lose one battle against the
enemy of specific tree, our second line
of defense must be trees immune to that
enemy The world grows smaller; the
chances of importing destructive fungi and
insects increase Those who recall the
superbly beautiful chestnuts of yesteryear
and their great commercial value appre-
ciate the necessity of protecting our trees.

Floods and a River Authority


To the Editor of The Star:
1t was with sorrow that we read the news
Of the Columbia River disaster-sorrow for the
tragedy of the loss of human life and property
and sorrow for the lack of wisdom OF those
in whose hands rests the power to put an
end to such calamties.
1t is not many months since the news was
broadcast that flood was threatening in the
Tennessee River watershed. Did this food ma
terialize? Yes, but because measures had been
taken to harness the Tennessee River and its
tributaries the losses were infinitesimal. Why
is it that Congress refuses to hear the voice
of the people instead Of that Of the public
utilities? The 500 900 Of damage which the
Columbia River flood caused would have gone
a long way toward building dams and artificial
water storage spaces which probably would
nave saved many lives
Is Congress going 10 await another tragedy
before deciding to pass the necessary laws to
create Columbia Valley Authority which not
only would help to avoid the repetition Of such
floods but also provide the necessary means
for expanded economic activities at low cost
in the Northwestern part of the United States?
Even though 1t will not be possible to bring
back to life those who perished because OF
the selfish interests Of the public utilities, let
us hope that Congress will heed the warning
and act at once to prevent the repetition Of
such tragedies, by creating not only CVA but
also an MVA and an OVA. The time to
squabble is passed. the time to act is now

Racial Trouble From Outside
To the Editor of The Star:
We who live adjacent to the Rosedale
Playground have been much amused by Mrs.
Ethel Wisers remarks at the hearing before
the Board of Education the other day. We
wonder just how often she has clocked Rose
dale Playground Will she tell us where she
would put any more children there? On Or
binary warm days the facilities of that play
ground, including the pools, are filled to Ca
pacity; and on very hot days the pools are
so crowded the children have to use them In
relays.
Also will Mrs Wiser tell us why the colored
children in this immediate section cannot
use the Langston Fairgrounds newer and
undoubtedly much better equipped one than
Rosedale. Is it any more Of hardship Tor
the colored children to 60 half dozen blocks
to that playground than it is for the white
children who come from many blocks away to
Rosedale since it is the only white playground
in this entire Northeast section?
imagine the white children in the River
Terrace development would enjoy using the
up-to-date facilities of Langston Playground
but undoubtedly they are neither welcomed
nor permitted there.
White and cplored folks have been living
in Washington for many years without trouble
until it was stirred up in the past 10 years
by people from the outside interested mostly
in votes Perhaps the time has come when
there should be organized Society for the

The Chestnut Lesson

A recent news item that hybrid chest
nuts hold promise for the return OF
chestnut trees to the landscape high
lights a lesson we should have learned
earlier. 1t was in the summer OF 1904
when botanists noticed chestnut trees in
New York Geological Park were willing
and dying. Many authorities believed
the abnormally cold winter of 1903 was
responsible, but Herbert Merkel, chief
forester Of the park, suspected disease.
There was little immediate alarm; chest
nuts were abundant over widespread
regions OF the Nation Within seven years
there were few unblghted trees in New
York State; by 1910, the chestnuts were
gone. Today only an occasional tree can
be found in the United States.
The blight that has destroyed one of
our most magnificent and valuable trees
came from the Orient. Today with in
adequate resources authorities are attempt
ing to halt the spread Of the Dutch elm
disease. It has already spread havoc over

The Witch Hunt Buquboo

It now appears that the only hySteria
attending the much-debated loyalty pro-
gram for Government employees was that
which affected some of the more vociferouS
critics of the plan. What happened to
the witch hunt" which these opponents
of the program predicted would result?
Where is all the wreckage of individual
liberties which was forecast?
If there have been any dire effects, any
invasions of constitutional rights, they are
not discernible in the report just issued
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI says that its check of 1,955,314
Federal employees disclosed no disloyal
data In its files to warrant further in
vestigation More than four thousand full
field investigations have been undertaken
in other cases. In these suspicious" cases,
231 employees resigned before the investi
cations were completed More than
thousand field investigations have resulted
in reports to the Civil Service Commission
for whatever action the commission may
deem warranted. The FBI submits only
its findings, without recommendations
The decision as to whether an investigated
employe should be discharged or retained
is made by the department or agency
concerned.
A further indication of the care with
which the program has been carried out is
the fact that the Loyalty Review Board
has yet to receive an appeal from an en-
ploye under investigation. It's time so
far has been taken up with reviewing half
a hundred cases in which agency heads
decided to retain employees who had been
investigated This function of the Review
Board is just as important as hearing
appeals. For the program could suffer as
much from administrative apathy or
reluctance to take decisive action as from
oYerzealous enforcement.

Make 1t Fair or Drop 1t

If we are going to retain an income tax
here with the sales tax, it should be fair
tax. No matter where the tax begins-on
net incomes of $4,000, as proposed, or at
some other fgure-it should apply to
everybody whose income is derived from
local sources. Reciprocal credit arrange
ments as in the State laws, would guard
against duplicate taxation of the same
incomes.
That, generally speaking, has been the
idea behind every proposed local income
tax. But Congress has never been willing
to accept it. There is long history OF
attempts to enact a fair and workable
income tax, with repeated demonstrations
OF failure because the House would not
tax the incomes of voting constituents
stationed in Washington.
The effect of this is that we have about
90 1000 local income taxpayers in Washing
ton instead Of the estimated 100000 whose
local incomes should be taxed. This
represents the rankest sort of discrimina-
ton, with thousands of residents, deriving
full benefit from the services OF the COM
munity, taking free ride. That sort OF
discrimination ought to be ended. II
Congress is unwilling to put fair income
tax on the books, then it should abandon
the effort and try something else.
The new income tax proposal goes part
OF the way to end the discrimination 1t
couples the tax liability with habitation in
the District for seven months of the year,
eliminating the "domicile" provision un-
der which those maintaining legal resi-
IN OF hacoma
Instead of singing out for exemption the
Federal employees domiciled elsewhere, it
exempts the great majority OF them by
starting the tax at $4,000 net income. The
effect of this will be to cut the number of
local income taxpayers from about 10000
to perhaps 1900 The revenue from the
tax will be reduced by about half
No one has explained the choice of $4,000
as the base for the income tax. In 1888,
Dr. Chester B. Pond, who was retained to
work out tax program, combined an
income tax beginning at $4,000 with
per cent sales tax At that time, however,
there was a constitutional question in tax
ing Federal employe incomes and DR.. Pond
wanted to eliminate the uncertainty by
taking the great majority OF them out OF
the picture entirely. Since then the courts
have ruled that Federal employees are sub
1ect to local income taxation.
But wherever the income tax begins,
whether it is $4,000 or some other figure,
the tax that is applied should apply equally
to everybody. That is cardinal principle
in any tax and If Congress Is unwilling
to accept it here the local income tax
should be thrown out as unavoidable in
the District of Columbia.

Let's See Them Through!

Two important steps were taken on
Capitol Hill yesterday to bring about
improvements in Gallinger Hospitals psy-
chopathic division and The Star finds some
satisfaction in recording them.
The House District Committee approved
without dissent an amendment of the law
which will enable certain categories OF
mentally Ill patients to go direct to st.
Elizabeths, without an unnecessary stop
over at Gallinger If the bill is approved
before Congress adjourns, the effect will
be of two-fold advantage. 1t will make
possible a better deal for the patients
themselves. It will reduce the load at
Gallinger relieving some OF the unsatis-
factory conditions there attributed to
overcrowding The measure has the sup
port OF all the municipal officials concerned
and has been recommended by outside
consultants. AS far as known, there is no
opposition.
The Senate, meanwhile, approved a
$50, 900 item, which had been added to the
District appropriation bill, for preparation
of plans for new phychopathic building
at Gallinger and authorized the employ
ment OF an additional full-time medical
officer to be head of the psychopathic
divisions
The full benefit of these progressive
steps will not be realized for some years
to come. But they represent action toward
eliminating the disgrace to Washington"
that Gallinger's psychopathic division has
hecome
