Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY J. Glenn Beall

By a vote of S29 to IA the House
last week reluctantly approved the
zone package" foreign aid bill, which
had been reported by it's Foreign At
fairs Committee. 1t was the type of
measure on which no legislator could
vote right. Only a few Members
were satisfied with the measure. but
most Members of Congress. like most
citizens, believed something had to be
done in the international field to help
bring about world peace and stop the
spread of Communism. Yet few have
been satisfied with our foreign policy.
or the way our foreign relief pro-
grams have been administered. Our
foreign policy is made by the Presi-
dent and his State Department. The
Congress can only support or reject
legislation to make an Administra-
tons foreign policy effective, but can
not itself make foreign policy. With
Europe in an especially critical con-
dition, due to Communistic aggression
and the threats of war, the great ma
jority of the House Members believed
that to reject the Administration
foreign aid bill would mean for the
United States to close face. and
would result in giving greater en-
enlargement to the Communstic
forces at work in many nations. As a
result the Congress approved a for
eign bill with which it is not at all
satisfied There is no assurance that
the measure will be of any actual
benefit in stopping the spread of
Communism, in bringing peace to the
world, or in making friends for the
United States. On the other hand
failure to do anything-and it was
this bill or nothing-might possibly
mean the triumph of Communism
abroad and the endangering of our
own national security at home. Up
to date our American foreign policy
has not been successful. Probably it
never will be until there is new lead
ership in the White House and the
State Department.
The new foreign aid law enacted by
Congress authorizes expenditures Of
six billion and ninety-eight million
dollars during the twelve months,
subject, Of course, to Congress APP
propriating the full amount. In this
total is included five billion three
hundred million dollars for the Euro
pean Recovery Program affecting the
sixteen nations of Western Europe;
two hundred and seventy-five million
dollars for military aid to Greece and
Turkey; three hundred and thirty
eight million dollars for economic aid,
and one hundred and twenty-three
million dollars for military aid to

unless the international situation i'm

orders by further legislative enact

The Parsley Problem

An exhaustive Nationwide survey in
dicates that unless something is done in
the not distant future, all citizens must
expect to plow through haycock of pars-
ley before they can get at their meat,
potatoes and vegetables
Research does not reveal who has the
responsibility for starting this fad. A man
can stand a reasonable amount OF chop
ped chives on his spuds if the women folks
feel that food must be dressed up. But 1t
has reached a pretty pass when one has
to carry pitchfork to the table in order
to toss aside the heap of wiry greenery.,
Probably there is some eflcacious use,
well disguised, of this European ammi-
aceous aromatic garden herb that has
burgeoned into such popularity with the
ladies. In the Old World countries the
dried crushed leaves are used to add flavor
ing to stews and soups. Perhaps that is
a permissible employment for Petrose-
linum hortense, although many prefer
their beef stews, lamb stews, fish chow
ders and bean soups without~it. Gliding
the lily is always an improbable use OF
time and energy. Maybe the parsley prob

Koenigsberg the City

To the Editor Of The Star:
A letter of W. F. Wilmoth in your issue OF
July 80 shows him much muddled over one OF
the secret agreements at the Yalta Conference
or trying to distort it for partisan purposes.
The concession to Russia noted in the State
Department Report he quotes plainly refers
to the important city of Koenigsberg in East
Prussia, apparently unknown to him, and not
to the hamlet of the same name on or near
the river Oder, much nearer Berlin, as he as
sumes. Hence there is nothing in that report
or elsewhere to warrant his further assump-
ton that the concession noted also put a
limit to the zone of Russian occupation in
Germany.
In an atlas before me both places are named
Konigsberg without the dots over the 20" or
umlaut, for which we commonly substitute al
"e'. The German word "konig" with the UNI
laut, is the equivalent of the English word
king. Hence anglicizing the place names
would give us Kingston.

Donoerous Advice

Although the Protestant clergymen WIN
have proposed day OF mourning over
the draft profess to disapproVe OF the
"civil disobedience" movement, it is haro
10 see much difference between that law
less course and the counsel Whlch tne
dissident group now offers the young men
of America.
The group in urging churches to observe
August 80, when draft registration oeglnS'
for prayerful protest against peacetime
conscription, did not content itself WIN
a call for mediation and repentance.
The clergymen whose names were attacheo
tn the statement released by the "Natlonal
Council Against Conscription" have gone
much further than call to prayer. Iney
have "laid before the people, and especially
Young men of draft age" this provocative
principle: "The responsibility OF young
men not to give unqueStioning ooeolence
to secular authority, as is demanded III
totalitarian lands, but to decide eacn 1or
himself the course which he should take
with regard to conscription, recognizing
that God is the sole Lord OF conscience.
If this advice means what 1t seems 10
say, these churchmen are asserting tna1
every young man subject to the draft mas
right to refuse to register and otner-
wise to evade induction as he may see
fit. They are told that they have no
obligation to bow completely to the
sovereignty of Federal law-for secular
authority" can have no other meaning
that governmental authority. What dis
tinction is there between this suggestion
and that of another group of Protestant
churchmen who recently minced no words
in urging young men to disobey the draft
law? What difference is there, basically,
between denying the right of the state
to require unquestioning obedience OF lts
laws from all citizens and advocating class
(Negro) defiance of the law-as A. Philip
Randolph, Negro labor leader, has done?
If the ministers are concerned only with
the problem of conscientious oolectors,
they need only read the draft law to
assure themselves that the rights OF con-
scientious objectors to military service will
be fully protected. Draft boards are au-
thorized to defer such men. or to see that
they are assigned to nonmilitary duties.
To 20 beyond this liberal provision and
espouse the theory that any man has
right to make up his own mind as to
obeying the draft or any other law is,
rs one fortnight church leader, Rev. DR..
Daniel A. Polling. has said. to render the
Nation tragic disservice." If this theory
were to prevail anarchy would replace
government by law.

Meatless Days in Institutions

To the Editor of The Star:
Altruism and sense of fairness force criti-
cism OF high District officials for ordering
meatless days for helpless inmates of District
institutions.
Aside from penal institutions, these people
are helplessly confined by old age and other
physical disabilities through no fault of their
own Why single them out to conserve meat
supplies?
On the other hand, it is safe to assume that
these same high District officials, with fat
salaries, do not deny themselves juicy steaks
and all other luxuries.
The action of these officials recalls to mind
case in a Western community where q man
was urged to run for sheriff and upon being
told of the big profit to be had from feeding
prisoners confined in Jail, remarked: when
have to rob the stomachs of helpless persons
confined in jail in order to make money,
don't want the job" G. s. La MOTTE.

Why MARYLAND Has q Surplus

It is with a sense of wonderment, mixed
with self-pity, that District taxpayers learn
that Marylanders are looking forward to
a State income tax reduction. While the
District government struggles with cur
tailed budgets and mounting deficits, our
neighboring State is raking in the tax
money so fast that big surplus has &C
crued in the treasury. So Governor Lane
has proposed cut In State-income levies
and State Controller James ]. Lacy has
agreed that something ought to be done
Governor Lane pointed out that the
1s4s surplus of more than twenty million
dollars is about nine millions more than
had been expected. While reasonable
surplus is a desirable thing, he said, the
State should not require of its citizens
more than is essential to establish a modest
margin of safety"
There must be reason for Maryland's
extraordinary affiuence. The answer pos
sibly may lie in the fact that the State
has completed years experience with
new revenue -getter, the much-maligned
sales tax. During the hrst twelve months
