Fear Con Be Dangerous

Once again-this time at the recent
Herald Tribune Forum in New York
Bernard Baruch has come forward with
wise counsel He has spoken out against
fear and the danger of excessive pessimism.
Although he has not sugar-coated the
dismal fact that we must seek to remain
supreme in the field of A-weapons as long
as the Kremlin vetoes the dream of a
world free of the threat of atomic destruc-
tion," he has made a good case for the
thesis that despair Is unwarranted and
that men and nations still have reason to
look to the future with hope.
Thus, despite the terrible menace i'm
plicit in the nuclear ornaments race re-
sulting from Soviet policy, Mr.. Baruch has
taken the sane view that even as we arm
ourselves accordingly, we must not let the
fear Of war paralyze us or keep us from
going forward, as fast and fully as we can,
with the development of the atom for
peaceful use AS he has put it, that de-
velopment has hardly begun, but 1t already
"radiates astonishing possibilities" 50 ire
mendous and promising that the age
ahead can be the brightest in history in
terms of the welfare and happiness Of
humanity everywhere.
As an illustration of this point, Mr..
Baruch has emphasized how the atom may
solve the survival problem being created
by the worlds rapidly increasing popula-
ton and wasted natural resources-how 1t
may be used to make deserts bloom again,
how it may enable man to produce almost
limitless quantities of food, and how as a
great new source of power it may trans
form and vastly improve the economy Of
the globe in way that will enrich all
peoples. This is not make-believe pros
pect. 1t is real. 1t Is why Mr.. Baruch is
profoundly right in warning against sterile
pessimism and striking note Of hope
fitness.
1t Is true enough, of course that all
tomorrows shining potentials may come
to nothing If the world drifts into an
atomic war. But that drift cannot be
checked by despair or sense of frightened
helplessness. Humanity will be flirting
with suicide If it surrenders to such a
mood and convinces itself that its problems
are too big for it to handle. In Mr..
Baruch's words. one of the most important
tasks of our age Is to restore and con-
serve mans faith in his ability to govern
| himself. If that is lost, all is lost"
Dangerous and depressing as the current
international outlook may be, the times

Ethnologist's Centenary
James Owen Dorsey Student of American Indian Culture
Remembered on Eve of His Hundredth Birthday
James Waldo Faucet

Tomorrow will be the centennial anniversary
OF the birth Of one Of the greatest Of American
ethnologists-the Rev. James Owen Dorsey.
His career began In the city of Baltimore on
October 81, 1S48. The family to which he
belonged was eminent for scholarship. His
father was Thomas Anderson Dorsey and his
mother the former Maria Sweetser Hance.
Their son exhibited precocious linguistic talents
even as an infant. He knew the Hebrew
alphabet at six and was able to read Hebrew
texts at ten. After attending the local pri-
mary and high schools he studied at the
Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary at
Alexandria and was ordained deacon in
1871
Whether 1t was his prediction for Ian
guages or some other factor that prompted
young Mr.. Dorsey to take up missionary work
among the Indians is uncertain. In any case
he went to the Dakota Territory in May 1872,
to minister to the Ponkas, or Poncas. During
the next Is months he learned the funda-
mental lesson Of his hfe-the value of field
experience In science. Illness drove him back
to the East in August, 1873, and for the next
half decade he was parish priest in Mary
land.
Then the door Of larger opportunity opened
for him with the organization Of the Bureau
VI H11cIACdA ciu1AoloSy u1iueI tllc OHeCtlOu
Of Maj John Wesley Powell. Mr.. Dorsey
was engaged as a member of the investiga-
ton and research staff Of the new establish
ment in 1879. The remainder of his days was
devoted to "the increase and diffusion OF
knowledge" about the aborigines of North
America. A lengthy list of monographs flowed
from his pen, and the scope of his interests
may be judged from a partial list Of them:
Omaha Sociology Dosage Traditions"
"Siousn Cults" Omaha Dwellings, Furniture
and Implements" "Siouan Sociology" "Cegiha
Language" War Customs of the Osages,"
Mourning and War Customs of the Kansas"
"Migrations Of the Siouan Tribes" Omaha
and Ponka Letters" Comparative Phonology
of -Four Siouan Languages" DR.. Walter
Hough long afterwards said of these produc-
tons: "(They) are Of a highly specialized
character. required trained and expert obser-
walton and accurate record. To this work
Mr.. Dorsey brought method, rapidity assiduity
and a keen ear. He bent his energies to
recording, holding to facts and promulgating
no theories"
When Mr.. Dorseys failing health made it
infeasible for him to travel he resorted to the
alternative of bringing representative Indians
TO Washington, having them photographed,
interviewing them, reporting their comments,
compiling great mass Of data from human
sources which soon-almost as soon as he
himself-would pass from the earth. Prof.
J. N. B. Hewitt watching his procedures, de-
clared that he was "methodical, rapid and I'M
firing, accomplishing in a given time an
amount of labor that was astounding in its
extent and accuracy. His marvellous apti-

A Surprising Suit

The court action filed by the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers.
CLIO, against the members of the Atomic
Energy Commission and the General
Electric Company raises a question as to
what the union really hopes to gain by
this maneuver.
Ostensibly, the suit seeks 81 10000 in
damages from the company and Acc
members, who were named as individuals
since the Government cannot be sued
without its consent. The stated theory
is that the contract rights of this left
wing union were preached when the Acc
ordered the company not to recognize
the union as bargaining agent in a New
York atomic laboratory because its officers
had refused to file the anti-C Communist
aff1davits required by the Taft-Hartley
Act. In addition to the monetary damages,
the suit also asked for an injunction
against the blacklisting of the union.
1t is possible that this action is in the
nature of publicity stunt, move by
union officials to strengthen their posi-
ton with the rank and file of the member
ship. Another possibility is that the union
hopes to pry into the commissions sources
of information concerning the possible
Communist Affiliations of its officers by
compelling the Acc members to defend
their blacklisting order.
#, one assumes, however, that the suit
was filed in good faith, and also assumes
that it has any substantial legal basis
then serious question is raised as to the
power of the Government to safeguard
vital secrets. There is strong reason to
believe that this union is controlled by
Communists. For it to be representing
employees engaged In vital atomic work is
hardly compatible with any rational con-
cept of national security. Yet it has q
contract with the General Electric Com
pany and, according to the suit, its Local
unit at the atomic energy laboratory hal
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-10-30

been duly certified by the National Labor
Relations Board as the exclusive bargain
ing agent.
The attitude Of the courts remains to be
revealed. It seems evident, however, that
the legal issue involved is impressed with
enough uncertainty to call for prompt
and clear-cut ruling. If by any chance the
Atomic Energy Commission lacks legal
authority to order Its contractors to refuse
to deal with union as suspect as the
UEW, then 1t is high time that the law be
changed.

tuoe In discriminating, grasping and retain
ing sounds enabled him to obtain with great
ease accurate vocabularies and texts and to
detect differences Of meaning and function
through differences of sound"
Prof. Hewitt also testified to "the purity and
unself1shness Of his motives and the warmth
and sunshine Of his aniable nature"
These qualities must have appealed to the
Indians strongly. Because of his possession
OF them, Mr.. Dorsey was welcome in primitive
settlements where other white men would
have been forbidden. Thus 1t was possible
for him to study the artifacts, conditions Of
life, habits and customs, patterns Of thought
and conduct of the Indians ION the spot" His
studies are replete with data on earth lodges,
bark and mat lodges skin lodges or tents,
1replaces, beds and bedding, cradles, childrens
swings, brooms, pottery, mortars and pestles,
spoons, ladies and drinking vessels, water yes
sells, hoes and axes, knives implements con-
nected with fire, smoking paraphernalia, equi-
pages for horses travelling gear, boats, musical
instruments, weapons of every description
The entire culture Of the indigenous peoples
was his subject, and he mastered it thoroughly
at q date when it fast was fading into OBJ
Nvion.
Mr.. Dorsey's manuscripts are extant in the
ogy. His contributions to the scientific press
are scattered through scores of volumes. He
was one Of the founders and first vice pres
ident Of the American Folklore Society and
regular writer for its official journal His
support Of the activities of the Anthropological
Society Of Washington still Is remembered.
He was fellow Of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. Among his
associates were: Prof. Joseph Henry, first
Secretary Of the Smithsonian Institution; w.
j. MCGEE, archaeologist, geologist and hydrol-
ogist; and the Rev. Stephen Return Riggs,
whose Dakota grammar he edited.
It was Prof. Henry who introduced Mr..
Dorsey to Major Powell The famous physicist
had met the future missionary as child and
had been struck by his facility with languages
In his ministry in the Dakota Territory
Mr.. Dorsey had the help of his mother: sub
sequently among the Omahas in Nebraska he
had that OF his wife, the former Virginia
Wynkoop.
Mr.. Dorsey died at his home, 20O2 street
NV, February 4, 1895. He was only As years
Of age and was in the full flower Of his genius
when his labors were ended. Dr. John r.
Swanton took over his unfinished papers and
published his Biloxi and Ofo Dictionary in
1912.
Memorials to Mr. Dorsey include a window
in Christ Church, Clinton and a tablet at st.
Barnabas Church, Oxon Hill, Nd The former
traces back to chapel he built in the '7Os.
He also was rector of historic st. Johns
Church, Broad Greek, at that time. Trinity
Church, Takoma Park, is an outgrowth of
services held in his residence in 1887.

Time to Dress Up?

Speaking of Navy Day, it is nice to know
that our new Navy will have charm as
we'll IS fighting power. This brand-new
characteristic is guaranteed to result
from the adoption by the WAVES of the
uniforms just designed by a New York
fashion expert The idea seems to be that
WAVE without charm Is an unhappy
WAVE. This sounds reasonable enough.
But what about charmless WACS and
WAFS? They are certainly not going to
be happy members of Secretary Forrestals
unified defense family If they are not
given equal treatment by the creative
stylists of New York and/or Paris. The
WACS, for example, are still going around
In those short skirts which they wore
during the war. Their clothes are posi-
lively outmoded, what with the new look
and everything. How will a WAC feel in
her khaki uniform beside WAVE officer
In one Of those foor-length blue formal
uniforms, respondent in gold buttons and
braid? The WAFS being a new branch of
the Air Force, already are trying to devise
q uniform that will be at least as attractive
as the powder-blue ones which are planned
for male members of the corps
Meanwhile committee of high-ranking
officers still is wrestling with the problem
Of designing satisfactory dress uniform
for men of the three services. While this
proposed formal attire may lack charm, 1t
will have the uniformity desired by Presi-
dent Truman, who has been distressed at
the motley turnouts at White House func-
lions. Impatient at the progress being
made on this momentous problem, Air
Force officers have decided to wear civilian
tails, emblazoned with gold buttons and
plenty Of braid. Fawn or gray gloves are
an accessory.
All Of this activity at the Navy Depart
ment and the Pentagon is reassuring, in
way. Certainly things cannot be as bad
abroad as some folks would have the public
believe, else how could so much time be
available for deciding such issues as charm
for WAVES and evening attire for the
gentlemen officers?
