The SYMPTOMS Are the Same

washington music lovers join with those
of New York and elsewhere IN oeplorlng
the apparent death of that veritaole ma
tional institution, the Metropolitan opera.
Washingtonians can sympathlze heartily
with Manhattan in the cultural Tragedy
which has befallen 1t, for they face the
continuing threat here of somewhat
similar misfortune. There is no blinking
the fact that our own famed institution,
the Water Gate concerts of the National
Symphony Orchestra Is afflicted with the
same sort of financial troubles that have
caused the calling off of the 1948-49
Metropolitan season.
Metropolitan officials regretfully ex-
planned that mounting deficit ana wage
and other demands involving higher costs
of production have left them no reasonable
alternative but to close up shop TOR good.
They said their decision, reached reluct-
antly after long consideration of past
deficits and the prospect OF greater ones
in the future is final. The Met played to
packed houses the past season, yet 1t re-
ported a $4,000 deficit for the period.
Losses in the past have been made up by
donations from private citizens, but the
deficits have continued to grow.
The ills which have proved fatal to the
etropolitan-barring some unforeseen
resuscitation miracle-are grimly ike
those which for some time past have
plagued the Water Gate concerts. Except
for 1e45, there have been deficits for every
one of the ten years during which these
colorful and popular events have been
offered. Deficits prior to 1947 averaged
s5.4OO. Last year the loss jumped to
$4,000. This year only the public-spirited
action of group of citizens and organi-
cations in underwriting the concerts to the
extent of $4,000 enabled Washington to
enjoy the series again. The underwriting
plan was sponsored by the Board OF Trade.
Hope had been held out that, given good
weather and barring unexpected compli-
cations, the concerts this summer would
pay their own way. But this hope was
not fulfilled. Despite generally favorable
conditions, another deficit, the size OF
which has not as yet been disclosed, has
been incurred, and those who underworld
the series stand to bear the loss. But 1t Is
manifestly unfair for any small group to
have to assume the financial burden of an
undertaking which the whole community
enjoys and should support.
The Water Gate concerts can no more
survive under such circumstances than
can the Metropolitan Opera Company.
What has happened in New York is GER
tain to happen to the symphony series on
the banks of the Potomac unless the people
of Washington are willing to give it more
substantial and effective support, through
reservations or contributions or otherwise.

Arob DPS in Palestine

This seems to be the era of the displaced
person. One of the most tragic aspects OF
our troubled time is the way large groups
of people are diSpoSseSSed from their an
cestral homes in consequence OF shifting
frontiers or other political considerations.
Nothing like it has been known since
Europe's wars of religion some centuries
ago, when the dominant creed could not
tolerate the presence of those processing
the rival faith. But today's standards are
even more memorable. In the old days,
conversion could avert expulsion. Now,
unWanted elements can in no way expunge
their incompatibility. Knowing this, the
unwanted often seek to escape harsh
measures in store for them by flight into
voluntary exile.
OF all this, Palestine offers peculiarly
poignant example. Small though the coun-
try is, Jews and Arabs have lived much
intermingled. The spreading pattern OF
Jewish settlement had everywhere left
large Arab enclaves, totaling fully one
third of the population in the areas desig-
mated as under Israeli Jurisdiction. When
fighting broke out, these Arabs fed en-
masse into the territories controlled by
their coreligionists, the SS-migratlon
running to between 100000 and 100000.
Having been unable to take with them
more than a few personal possessions in
their hasty fight, they are today desti-
tute, subsisting on the charity of their
hosts and unable for the most part to
make new start in life.
The plight of these refugees is pressing
problem, and Count Folke Bernadotte,
United Nations mediator for Palestine, has
urged the Security Council to affirm their
right to return to their homes in Israeli
controlled areas But the Israeli govern
ment has refused to discuss their return
In large numbers except as part of last
ing overall peace settlement. The Israeli
reply to Count Bernadotte's suggestion
stresses the security objections and the
economic difficulties involved. But the re-
ply likewise indicates that the Israeli
leaders view the removal of the Arab
minority as an accomplished fact which
they have no wish to see undone. AS they
put it: The Palestine Arab exodus was one
of the cataclysmc phenomena which, &C
eording to the experience of other coun-
tries, change the course of history"
1t is interesting to observe how the
spokesmen of Israel, state built up largely
by refugees, seemingly accept the DIP
method of solving minority problems. But

This and That
BIZ Charles E. TraceaUeU

An elevator is good place to find out things.
Oh, almost anything.
The other day, a caller brought in queer
looking natural object.
1t was about an inch in diameter somewhat
resembling small apple.
What is it?" he asked.
Looking at the thing critically, we at last
gave it up.
1t was one of the things one should know, but
didn't
In this world, that is always perplexing
To realize one should know something, but
doesn't. Some people try to get out of it by
bluffing.
That not being a good way, we said we
didn't know, but would soon find out
Il
And we did, not by calling up some lex
pert" not by going to the encyclopedia.
No, there was an easier and a quicker way.
We simply went to the elevator shaft, rang
the bell and got in.
Holding out the queer object to the first
person inside the door, we asked:
What is this thing?"
The man took it, studied it for second and
then looked up smiling.
This thing" he said, sis an oak apple. 1t
gives me pleasure to be able to tell you some
thing"
Thanks" we said
* -
Oak apple it was, sure enough.
These "apples," so called, resembling when
small a cross between an apple and an onion,
present notified appearance to the world
There seem to be scales, but they are not
scales, but just resemblance to them, caused
by the red liquid within.
There Is no nut nor other formation inside
but Just this tough red pulp, exuding liquor
somewhat like that given off by poke berries.
This apple is disease, caused by the stlngs
of certain gall1ies.
knowledge is then, where you find it.
And that folks, is very happy affair
Today too many of us are aWeu by experts.
We want to believe that some one else knows
more than we do. If he writes twice about
the same thing, we tend to exalt him into the
expert class.
No doubt this has its good points, but the
main point is that no one person can know
everything, and happy is he who admits it.
1t always is possible to find knowledge in
odd places.
The least unlikely spot-as an elevator
comes up with just what one wants to know,
without the trouble of turning page or taking
a telephone of the hook
So always ask questions.
1t is the one best way to find out things. Yet
between this simple expedient and what one
wants to know often lies silly pride
We do not want to ask another because we
do not want him to know that we, forsooth, do
not know! AS II any one person coulu, redAy'
know 1t all!
Pride not only goes before fall. but too
often it prevents one from finding out.
Just ask questions. plenty of them.
Ask anybody, sometimes you will be sur
prised There are loose in the land today mil
lions of really precocious children who have
stored up an amazing amount of information,
most of it solid
Ask them
Ask the famous man on the street" That
fellow often surprises you by what he knows.
This old chap with tobacco-staineo fingers)
has ideas about art and music; and amazingly
enough often they are very good ideas.
When you want to know something, ask the
next person you meet.
If he is in an elevator, all the better,
evidently.

Mr.. Crump's Memphis Blues

That moaning sound from the South is
not the summer breeze blowing through
the old plantation houses along the
Mississippi 1t is new version OF the
Memphis Blues emanating from the trem-
bling battle-scarred headquarters of the
Crump machine. For what Tennesseeans
had thought was impossible has happened
in Memphis. Veteran Political Boss Ed
Crump, iron-handed but benevolent die
tator of Tennessee politics for many years
has suffered major defeat.
Climaxing a bitter Democratic primary
campaign in which charges, counter
charges, challenges and counter-chal-
lenges filled the air like flying saucers,
Mr.. Crump's candidates for the United
States Senate and for Governor have been
rejected by the voters. That sort of thing
is not supposed to be done In Tennessee;
at least nothing like it has occurred for
two decades But something happened to
the machine this year. 1t failed to roll
with its old steam-roller invincibility.
So majority of the Democrats of Ten
nessee, for the first time in twenty years,
have done their own picking of candidates
in open defiance of the Boss" They
chose for the Senate the Crump-de-
nounced Representative Estes Kefauver
instead of the Crump-indorsed Judge
John A. Mitchell. Judge Mitchell ran a
poor third. Incumbent Senator Stewart
was second. For Governor they nominated
Gordon Browning over Mr.. Crump's selec-
ton, incumbent Governor McCord. Both
Representative Kefauver and Mr.. Brown
ing piled up big votes in Mr.. Crump's own
Shelby County.
Tennessee politics being what they are,
1t is difficult for persons far removed from
the scene to explain the reason for Mr..
Crump's double upset. It may be that
even some of the Crump followers could
not go along with their leader in the cam
paign which he directed at Mr.. Kefauver.
Mr. Crump charged that the Representa-
tive had leftist leanings-that his voting
record against communism was bad"
Ardently supporting Mr.. Kefauver was the
Memphis Press Scimitar, whose editor was
challenged by Mr.. Crump to agree that
one of them would leave town, depending
on whether the Crump charges were
proved true or false. The showdown never
came, but the voters apparently settled
the issue of the charges for themselves.
Ordinarily nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket Is tantamount to election in
Tennessee, but the split in the Crump or
ganization could cause trouble for the
Democrats. Opposing Representative Ke-
fauver for the Senate will be Carroll
Reece, former chairman of the Republican
National Committee. Mr.. Reece has ex-
pressed the belief that Mr.. Crump would
support him If his own candidate were
defeated That remains to be determined.
But there can be no doubt that political
revolution of some sort is under way In
Mr.. Crump's State. 1t is yet too early
to predict what the outcome of this
shakeup may be in November.

imagine that the sophoulis government
would have prompted Paul to give that
interview. The affair will presumably be
passed over as personal indiscretion Of

position on Cyprus known in manner

nationalistic agitation, at least for the i'm

Lesson of Tolerance

To the Editor of The Star:
I am 17-year-old colored American. Dur
ing my II years I have learned the lesson OF
tolerance. Today I have friends OF various
nationalities and races. The race creed,
color, or nationality of a person denotes MOTH
ing, except that he is a human being. Being
human, he is entitled to be treated as SUCH
We all need to study the Bible and put into
action the precepts therein Where are the
so called" Christian people of this country?
If there are any still around, then it is time
for them to unite and fight the forces Of evil
and hatred. No true Christian would advocate
unfair treatment of person simply because he
is of different race than his own. Real Chris
tan men and women reject hate for brotherly
love- segregation and discrimination for equal
ity and justice, and they shun the advocates
of anti-Christian, anti-American PHILOSOPHERS.

publican cooperation at the special session Is
not politics but international relations.
The best chance to stave OF the crisis now
centering in Berlin seems to lie in convincing
Moscow and our west-European friends OF the
truth, which inter-party pickering obscures,
that an overwhelming proportion of our people
supports the administrators foreign policy.
If Republican management in Congress en-
courages the Kremlin in its present apparent
belief that American sentiment is hopelessly
divided. that Congress and the executive cannot
cooperate, that from now until January there
will be American stalemate and Russian OPP
portunity. real disaster will be made substan-
TALLY more likely.
The truth is that America is far better in
formed and united than when she was precipi-
tated into either World War. But the Soviets
may discover, too late for all concerned, the
fundamentals of American unity.

Yorktown Field

Surrender Field at Yorktown has become
a property of the Nation. 1t recently was
purchased by the National Park Service
and will be added to the reservation known
as Colonial National Historical Park. The
area of the ground is about thirteen acres,
and the cost was $3.50.
John Trumbulls painting in the Capitol
shows the scene approximately as it was
on October 10, 1871. Lord CORVALLIS,
commanding the British forces, had fol-
lowed the Americans under Lafayette
north from Wilmington. Pending an
answer to a futile appeal to Sir Henry
Clinton to abandon New York and con-
centrate on Virginia, he moved down the
Peninsula toward the sea. Williamsburg
was a convenient place for him to rest
awhile, but when Lafayette was reinforced
by Baron Steuben he fell back to York
town, then a community of some four
hundred residents occupying sixty houses
On August 81 Admiral de Grasse arrived
in the bay with a strong squadron OF
French ships and three thousand fresh
soldiers. Thus CORVALLIS was trapped
Washington took over the business OF
forcing his capitulation on September a.
The first parallel Of works was opened
by General Benjamin Lincoln on October
s, the second by Steuben on october II.
Then two British redoubts were carried by
storm by the American and French troops
under Alexander Hamilton on october H.
CORVALLIS attempted to escape over the
York River on October 16, but storm
prevented success. He asked for terms
the next day, and the war was over.
The Trumbull picture features General
Lincoln on horseback in the center. He
had been named to receive CORVALLIS
sword because he himself had been hui
inflated at Charleston. Washington,
Lafayette, De Grasse, Rochambeau,
Hamilton Steuben, Anthony Wayne,
Henry Knox and other leading characters
in the drama are portrayed as secondary
figures. CORVALLIS does not appear in
the composition. Too ill to attend, he
sent his only officer of suitable rank-a
General OHara-to offer the traditional
token of surrender. Rupert Hughes says
the sword was accepted only symbolically.
Not much of military significance re-
mains on the field to commemorate the
pageant staged there one hundred and
sixty-seven years ago; but the site ought
to belong to the Nation and now 1t does.
