people are happier today than they were in
the prewar days OF freedom" There are yari-
Gus ideas Of happiness and freedom, and maybe
there are people who can feel happy without
being free. But, as far as the Serbs are con-
cerned. happiness is freedom. To be deprived
Of freedom and still be happy Is for the Serbs
Q contradiction In itself. Miss Hollingworth
says that former Yugoslav citizens who were
induced to return from Canada, Australia,
America and elsewhere are completely dis
gusted with their working and living condi-
tions." How can there be happiness in such
country? Because 'the builders-and that is
the great majority Of the people-feel that they
are building something for themselves? I
wonder. The great ma jority Is certainly build
ing, but with compulsory slave labor: and they
feel and know that the something Is q vast
prison, such as the world has never seen before,
except in Soviet Russia. Thus there indeed Is
a unity Of the great majority OF the people In
Yugoslavia in one simple and categorical de-
sire: To get rid Of the Communist regime as
soon as possible and to live in freedom.
1t is most important to make the distinction
between the regime and the people in Yugo-
s.avia. The lack OF distinction led to the
tragedy of the main state in the Balkans and
especially the Serbs, America most loyal allies
in the struggle for freedom and justice in
World War II. To continue identifying the
Communist regime with the people In Yugo-
slavia inevitably would lead to even more
trouble.
1t must be realized that whereas the Com
munist regime regards Americans as Fascist
beasts the people are not only more friendly"
to the people Of America, but are fully aware
of the fact that they stand for the same prin-
ciples and ideas and they still believe that the
great democratic countries as soon as possible
will redeem their pledge in the Atlantic Char
ter art 81 which is Freedom.

S. H. L.
A. The peanut is legume rather than q
nut, 1t belongs to the same family Of plants

G. How long has it been since the presi.

Government land patents?-N c. ID.
A. Until June IT, l948, the law required the
presidential signature on transfers Of public
land to private ownership. Actually no Presi.
dent has signed these patents since 1884 when
law was passed authorizing President jack
son to appoint a person to sign his name.
Various provisions Of law since that time have
provided that designated persons sign the
Presidents name. Under the new law the
Secretary Of the Interior may delegate his
authority to sign the patents "in the name
Of the United States" to assistants In the
department or its bureaus.

are Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Mass

locally called Mayhower, is the State flower

sentative flower.

Resents 'Huey Long Editorial

NeSeHtS IluCy Lung LNlsoI idi
To the Editor Of The Star:
As loyal subscriber to your traditionally
conservative paper I stand aghast at the edi-
toral in the issue of September IA entitled
Shades of Huey Long
1t is obvious to even the most casual OBJ
server that the citizens Of Louisiana are hostile
to the point of hatred at Mr. Truman for his
dangerously idiotic program of "ciyil rights" :"
Mr. Dewey's position is almost identical.
Whoever Is placed In the position of write
in candidate in Louisiana will certainly be at
disadvantage. Therefore, 1T is logical to
place the least important man in that po-
sition.
AS scarcely anyone in Louisiana would
vote for Mr.. Truman anyway, his placement
will inconvenience very few voters.
In conclusion, I should like to protest the
harsh language and insulting innuendoes d.
rected at both the late Senator Long and the
Democrats of Louisiana, W. T.

Lincoln an Inspiration

To the Editor of The Star:
Please let me answer Rudolph J. Berdaus'
letter of September 10 which was to my mind
un-American, unpatriotic and un-Chrstian
I hope this is an intelligent answer to Mr..
Berdaus, calling freedoms government myth.
Freedom, justice, Christianity, equality and
the Divine Truth-these are the basis OF all
learning. All men are created equal at birth,
still each must prove his own worth.
All deserve an equal chance under freedom.
This is the answer to Gods kingdom Learn
ing Is the one true magnanimity of the soul.
Only the true free heart can grow. The mind,
heart and conscience gave the Declaration OF
independence to the Colonies. Yes, Thomas
Jefferson and George Washington had slaves,
yet they became your humble servants. Many
years later the great, noble, humble sixteenth
President, Abraham Lincoln, phrased these
words in his patriotic heart:
TT is for us the living rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished task which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us, that from
these hopored dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they gave the last
full measure OF devotion that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in
vain. that this nation under God shall have
new birth of freedom, and that government
of the people, by the people and for the people
shall not perish from the earth"
Lincolns second inaugural address also
contains these words: With malice toward
none, with charity for all, with firmness In the
right as God gives us to see the right. let us
strive on to finish the work we are in. to bind
UP the Nations wounds, to care for him VINO
shall have borne the battle and for his widow
and his orphan, to do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations"
.Lncolns Emancipation Proclamation is an
appeal to all mems hearts for reason.
If the Pilgrim Fathers had not real Chris
tian tolerance under freedom, then history
would never have given us freedom OF thought.
For freedom of thought first must be sought.
Mr.. Berdaus should make the pilgrimage to
the Lincoln Museum on Tenth street NV
where the greatest Of all Americans was snot-
to all loyal Americans a sacred spot

Latter Days" Scoffers.

10 tne Eoitor ol Inc 6tar'
I can understand the point Of view expressed
in the following from Edward Wolesenskys
recent letter: "And you are not only unwilling
to let the country have q real honest separa-
ton Of church and state but you think that
your religious superstitions should have .
privileged position in public discussions. While
the air is to be filled with proreligious propa-
ganda. no reply or criticism Is to be permitted.
That looks very much like an admission that
your religious doctrines cannot stand public
debate. What is such religion worth?"
agree that such q system is unfair; and 1t
is unfortunate that some religious beliefs can
not stand debate. I am grateful, however.
that the Holy Bible can stand up under dis
cussion
Such Skepticism as that shown by Mr.. Wole-
sensky strengthens my faith by glibly fulfill
ing divine prediction: Knowing this first. that
there shall come in the last days scoffers, walk
ing after their own lusts and saying, Where
is the promise of his coming? Second Peter
III: 3 and A..
To them may suggest study of this whole
chapter and of the sure word Of prophecy"
whose marvellous and, incidentally, rapidly
completing fulhlment can be attributed only
to "the God in Heaven that revealeth secrets
and maketh known >. what shall be in later
days? ROBERT REID MORRISON.
Many Divisions Against Bolshevists
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t has been reported that when Roosevelt
and Churchill told Stain that the Pope would
not like some Of the things the Russians pro-
posed, Stain replied: And how many d.
visions did you say the Pope has7"
Stain will be surprised to find how many
divisions there are of those who will not idly
see religion and a belief in Supreme Being
driven from the hearts and minds of men. If
Russia persists in thrusting war upon the
people Of the earth to impose goddess police
state upon all humanity, she will find that the
earth will shake with the tread Of countless
millions of all creeds who will say with Pat
rick Henry, Give me liberty or give me
death!' And If men again have to leave their
homes and businesses to defeat ruthless die
tatorship they will preserve not only their
own freedom but they will free the Balkan
and Baltic ensaved nations Poland and Aus
tria and the masses of Russians themselves
from the Bolshevist minority that is keeping
all civilization in an uproar.
Let these men who are doing this thing re-
member where Hitler, Mussolini and Goebels
landed MONITOR.

PaPer-Saving Drive
| HIGHLY ORGANIZED

A HIGHLY ORGANIZED
"A paper saving campaign
is paying of in terms of
playground, sports and other
recreational equipment for
the residents of darlington.
Twice q month the nearby
Virginia community is the
stage for the strange spectacle
of hundreds of children-and
sometimes parents-converg-
ing ON assembly stations with
hand-wagons, sleds, wheel
barrows and even automobiles,
all laden with old newspapers,
magazines, cardboard and
other paper. From 10 am. to
noon, on the second and
fourth Saturdays of each
month, they bring their sal
wage to the powerhouse of
their respective blocks for
measuring. recording and de-
posit. In the afternoon trucks
pick up the paper and cart it
of to a wastepaper company.
With the proceeds from the
sale the darlington Associa-
ton is paying for the better
part of its recreational activi-
ties. The campaign has netted
the organization we'll over
$4,000 since it began last May.
Director of the drive is Mrs.
Alan Dean, 3078 South Abing-
don street, who, appalled, at
the amount of paper being
thrown away, urged the as
ISOLATION to undertake the
drive.
Evening star., 1948-03-21

The campaign began slowly,
the first drive bringing in only
$50. It was decided then that
some incentive was needed,
and prizes were offered for
collectors. Business picked up
Immediately, and on one re-
cent Saturday the drive hit
its peak to date with the col
lection of 80 tons of paper,
which brought about $4O0.
The winning collectors get
such awards as record albums,
sports equipment and tickets
to movie theaters, college
football games, ice hockey
games and concerts. Every
child who collects 80 or more
vertical inches of paper re-
ceives a ticket to a movie
showing at the harrington
School.
Stimulus is brought to the
campaign through mimeo-
graphed bulletins and circu-
lars, and once, a blimp flew
over advertising the drive in
neon lights. Under the cap
ton. BE a Good Neighbor," a
typical bulletin exhorts the
residents to save paper, to
sort and tie it themselves, and
to give your neighbor a hand
at the boiler plant next paper

pleading for hands to assist
in the bundling. was head
lined: Did You Ever-tie q
tons of paper in bundles in

Moscow Wants New Finnish Treaty.

HELSINKI, Finland, (P)-Ten- sion suggesting an atmosphere of government crisis pervaded Fin land today with the announcement that Moscow has sent Helsinki a proposal for a new treaty.
 The foreign ministry announced Russia has sent a letter direct to President Juho E. PaasikiVi. The ministry did not say what kind of a pact was intended.
 A semi-official source said the letter was signed by Prime Minis ter Stalin.
 It is well known that Finnish leaders for some time have been studying closely the agreements the Soviet Union has made one af- ter another with the Balkan coun- tries, a network of pactS linking ing those countries closely to Rus sia.
 An authoritative source said Karl August Fagerhalm, speaker of Parliament, would go to Stock holm. perhaps to inform the Swe- dish government of the Russian proposal.
 The leftist press in Finland has been urging mutual friendship pact with the Soviet Union for a long time. Interior minister Yrjoa Lenio urged such a pact during an election campaign last December

Several Killed In
 Korean Agitation

SEOUL, (P)-The U. s. army re- ported yesterday five or six Kore- an civilians and policeman were killed in renewal of communist inspired agitation against the United Nations. Thirteen Koreans were injured seriously.
 Saboteurs also destroyed a bridge, cut telephone wires and placed ties across railroad tracks.
 The meager army report said groups of from 50 to 1000 attacked police boxes last night at widely scattered points in southern Ko- req The incidents were similar to those of Feb. ' in which 47 per sons were killed. Rioters at that time carried placards demanding the withdrawal of the U. N. com mission for Korea.
