The Evening Stur Games

The Star takes real pride In having
fostered the splendid indoor track meet
at the Armory on Saturday night, for it is
the sort of thing that should find more en-
couragement in Washington and it's bene-
fits are shared by the competitors and
their audience.
For The Stars part, it is going to do
everything it can to make next years
Evening Star Games an event of national
Importance as well as OF local interest,
beneftting from the experience gained in
the rather hurriedly made arrangements
for the inaugural experiment. 1t is to be
hoped that the games next year can be
arranged for a later date. This year,
some of those who otherwise would have
participated were unable to attend be-
cause of the holiday season. AS it was,
the athletes did themselves proud to the
appreciation of fine audience.
The Star is grateful for the cooperation
1t received on every hand. BY revising its
rules on mixed contests, the District of
Columbia Amateur Athletic Union and its
president, E. Joseph Aronoff, made possible
a competition open to everybody, as it
should be, with increased interest to partic-
ipants and spectators. It's official sanction

officials under J. Kip Edwards, referee,
who supervised without single unpleasant
incident the long list of events. Catholic
University's coach, Dorsey Griffith, has
won credit for his arrangements as direc-,
tor of the games and for the hard, detailed
work in preparation. The Junior Board
of Commerce, the Armory officials, the
coaches of visiting teams and host of
others-not least of which was the good
natured audience, tolerant of inexperience
in handling seating arrangements in the
new and cavernous Armory building-all
helped to send the games of to good
start.
With this Armory available to the public
as well as to the National Guard, every
effort should be made to realize it's ad-
vantages to Washington The Star Games
illustrated some of the possibilities and
there are others which. have not been
touched. The seating capacity for such
affairs can surely be enlarged, as they will
have to be next year for the second series
of these wholesome contests between young
American athletes from all around the

Mr.. Dirksen Will Be Missed

There is a marked tone Of genuine regret
in the comments following Representative
Dirksen's statement that he will not be
candidate for reelection in the April
primary.
That is easy to understand. An able
hard-working member of Congress since
he first came to Washington, Mr.. Dirksen
has steadily risen in the esteem and
respect of his colleagues and has become
an outstanding member Of the House HIS
loss would be shared on both sides OF the
aisle. For while he has made himself a
great asset to the majority he was never
a narrow partisan and always construc-
tive in committee and in debate.
Some of his friends have known OF the
aniiction to his eyesight which had caused
him trouble last year and have hoped that
treatment and rest would find cure. II
his decision to retire means that ne Will
devote himself to that end now, retirement
might be temporary - something to be
desired in his own and the public's
interest.
Here in Washington it is only natural
that we should be selhshly concerned
about Mr.. Dirksen. His Craftsmanship OF
the District Committee, preceded by so
many years as one of its most useful mem
bers, has been a boon to this community.
The Star Joins his other friends in regret
ting his decision to retire but in hoping
that it will give him the opportunity
which he has been unwilling to take for
himself-to get well again.

The Little Assembly

As it meets today forsthe first time the
United Nations Interim Committee en-
barks on a career of potentially great i'm
portance. Brought into being by the
overwhelming majority at the last session
of the General Assembly, it is an expert
ment designed to increase the Assembly's
operating effectiveness and to heighten the
moral influence of world opinion on the
decisions of the veto-ridden Security
Council.
To that end the Interim Committee,
which has come to be known as the Little
Assembly, will be in continuous session
until the next regular meeting of the Gen.
eral Assembly, it's parent body. Its func-
ton will be to conduct studies, carry out
Investigations, draft reports and make
recommendations on any issues not &C
lively before the Security Council. Thus,
In the weeks ahead besides discussing ways
and means of modifying the Councils veto
power-a subject already on its agenda-it
may deal In the open with such problems
as Austria, Germany, Palestine, Korea's
independence and indirect Soviet ag-
gression against Greece. In doing So
moreover, it will be acting as an agency
representative of all the members of the
United Nations, excepting only the boy
cotting RUSSIANS and their satellites.
It is true enough, of course, that in func-
tioning along this line the Little Assembly,
like the General Assembly, will not be able
to take any positive action. But by airing
It's views, by investigating, by reporting, by
recommending, and by otherwise holding
the white light of publicity on interna-
tional trouble spots, 1t can do much to
bring the weight Of world Judgment to
bear on the deliberations of the Security
Council where the veto of single power
Russia-has succeeded up to now in frus-
trating the will of the great majority on
several issues of vital Importance to the
peace.
To be sure, such moral pressure is not
likely to lead to miracles overnight. But
its possibilities ought not to be underes-
timated. After all, Russia and its satel-
lites are bitterly opposed to the Little As

It's potential effectiveness as continu

existence. In time, if it functions with
vigor and vigilance, it may be able to play

The james Exhibition

It seems pity that the exhibition OF
seventy of Alexander James pictures at
the Corcoran Gallery could not have
remained intact another week or so People
did not catch on" to it until its closing
But those who did see it never will forget
it. They always will think of it as being
an experience not simply with an artists
work, but with an artists spirit. Visitors
came away from the show with the convic-
ton that they had gained friend.
Mr.. James, born in 1890, lived all his
brief flfty-six years in the shadow of his
father, William, the philosopher, and his
uncle Henry, the novelist. But his own
claim to durable fame was not inferior.
His paintings prove that he was close to
the folk not merely as neighbor, but
specifically for his understanding of them.
When he portrayed a boy scrubbing a
floor it was indeed boy scrubbing floor
that blossomed on the canvas. He knew
the happiness of unspoiled men and
wonderland their sorrows, also. Plainly,
he himself could be alternately joyful and
deeply sad. His indignations certainly were
dynamic. They, appear in the brows Of
his subjects, rise up in protest from their
eyes.
How much he loved beauty is demon
strated in the composition titled joan
a girl of our own time who instantly carries
us back to the soldier, Joan of Domremy,
who now is saint. Mr. James was impor-
tant first for his heart, then for the quality
of his mind. He was an excellent drafts
man, paying willing homage to nature
with his charcoal His approach to paint
ing as such was scientific, systematic. He

Letters to2The. Star

Him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Master, which, q the great commandment in
the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God. with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first and great commandment And the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. On these two command
ments hang all the law and the prophets"
Very well, here are two amendments to the
Ten Commandments, our love to God and its
mode of expression, and the manner Of loving
our neighbor If we love God we certainly
will love our neghbor, whatever his race, color
or creed. If he is in danger, we will try to
save him. If he hungers, we will feed him.
If he is happy, we will rejoice with him and
envy him not. If he prospers, we will con-
slider it as his right, and not seek to injure
him. And all this will be our reward in kind
and deed, as our neighbor treats us in like
manner.
If the teaching of religion is to become enec-
tive it must start in the home; then be taught
in the respective churches; finally in the de-
nominationally owned colleges or parochial
schools. The public school is supported by
tax money from all faiths, all persuasions.
They expect an impartial school system. Re-
ligion is bound to be partial in doctrine and
acceptance. But God proposed that its daily
application to life should be impartial. Obvi-
ousIy. secular school system cannot teach
religion, for it cannot legislate on affairs Of
the heart and mind.

A hundred times day, in the year to come,

It might be you.
Severe loss of blood may result from injuries,
surgical operations. even childbirth.
It may drain away gradually. It may spurt
forth from q gaping wound.

and shock will follow And shock, unless
treated promptly, may end in death.
In this critical situation, the vital factor may
well be the supply Of blood of the proper type
which can be rapidly made available.
How often have you read in the newspaper,
or heard in radio broadcast, the appeal for
donors of specified blood type to report to
some hospital where patient urgently needs
transfusion?.
1t seems hit-or-miss method. a slender
thread on which to hang . human life. Most
OF us, hearing such appeals, have no idea
whether our blood could help the patient
Hospitals turn away many volunteers whose
blood is useless for the immediate need.
Precious time is lost while the right donor is
sought.
"Going Bankrupt In Reverse"
Within the last decade, and especially during
the war, medical science has learned lot
about blood TRANSMISSION. It is no longer neces-
sary for the donors blood to be pumped directly
into the patient. 1t can be taken, classified
and stored for future use in blood banks"
Most Washington hospitals have their own
blood recruitment systems and their own blood
storage units. In addition, there is the Com
munity Blood Plasma Bank, set up by the
Central Labor Union during the war as
central blood reserve for the District area.
1t is located in George Washington University
Hospital.
In general, this Is the way they operate:
Whenever a patient needs TRANSMISSION, his
family is given the alternative OF paying for
1t at a rate of $25 pint, or replacing it with
his own blood, not necessarily the same
type, at 2-1 ratio. For rare blood types, and
in emergencies, professional donors may be paid
the $25 fee -

Retirement Abuses

Secretary of the Army Royals recon-
mendation that the law governing dis
ability retirement of Army and Navy
officers be changed to prevent abuses of
the system should meet with favorable
responsesfrom Congress. That there have
been gross abuses of the liberal pension
arrangement there can be little doubt
The available statistics are in themselves
strong evidence that the Governments
generosity has led to the pensioning of
disabled" men whose disabilities need
restudy.
The trouble, as Secretary Royal points
out, is traceable to the law itself. Intended
to insure that men disabled in the armed
service of their country should not suffer
financially by reason of their wounds or
illness, the disability retirement statute is
so broad as to invite abuses. The tax
exemption provision carries no require
ment for periodic re-examination Of bepe-
flciaries. Thus, an officer retired for a
nervous disorder which developed under
combat conditions may since have recov-
cred. But he would still be drawing special
disability benefits. Furthermore, disabil-

to retire an officer in wartime might have
little or no effect on his earning capacities
in private life.
If, as Mr.. Royal indicates, there is no
legal authority at present for periodic re-
consideration and readjustment Of dis
ability pensions, there ought to be. It is
proper for the Government to make liberal
provision for the care of It's disabled fight
