Relaxed Liquor Ban

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have read with much interest and hearty
approval your editorial of January 81, on RE
Taxed Liquor Ban" referring to the action of
the District Commissioners in approving a
modification of the ban on licensing of liquor
establishments within 400 feet of schools and
churches in nonresidential areas. AS you sug-
gest, certainly, the change cannot be justified
on any ground of public convenience" or neces-
sity We have already nearly 1000 liquor
houses in Washington, and I wonder what Cor
who) is behind this relaxation of the rule. I
remember when few years ago, there was
much public discussion about the issuance Of
a license within the prescribed distance OF a
branch of the public library, understood that
pressure was brought to bear by certain in
f1uential person from out OF town. The appll-
cant got his license in that case, and his
place is still doing business there
AS to the additional discretion placed In
the ABC Board, it is unfair to them to subject
them to the additional pressure which will be
brought to bear to persuade them to act
against their better judgment. Too much dis
cretion vested in public official or body is OF
doubtful propriety or usefulness to the public
interest.
Some time ago. when in casual conversation
with prominent wholesale liquor dealer here,
1 fully agreed with him that, if and when
prohibition comes back again, 1t will be brought
back, not by its advocates, but by the liquor
dealers themselves who are too aggressive and
too indiscreet to retain the present degree OF
public tolerance WILLIAM H RAMSEY.

Ii represented on the commission, 1t has
never met its share Of the financial bur-
dens Of the organization. Failure of the
Government to do its part has been felt
keenly by the commission, not only because
of the financial handicap involved, but
because the members need all the en-
couragement they can get in their difficult
work. With a full budget grant, it will
be able this year to carry forward the
studies, the planning and the educational
work which are essential preliminaries to
the eventual goal of pollution free river
safe for swimming and other water
sports. The whole basin will benefit
through erosion-control, commercial waste
regulation and other conservation meas
ures. The Senate should add its indorse-
ment of this intelligent program to that
of the House, so that the commission may
continue unabatedly its good work during
the coming year.

God who is my Maker" the same God that Is
the God of the Jews and Of the Christians
However, he did not separate himself from
the Hindu people because he desired to bring
political independence and spiritual redemp-
ton to his own Hindu flesh and blood. He ex-
pressed the hope that his Maker will spare

The tragic death OF Gandhi, at the hand OF
an assassin, one of his own people for whom
he was willing to make the supreme sacrifice
to liberate them from spiritual and political
bondage, shows the utter perverseness OF hum
an nature, and how hopeless this worlds re-
demption and reformation exclusively through
human efforts are. More and more evident is it
becoming that Gods plan as revealed in His
Book for lone world is to take such among
the heather and among Christians as have
lived up to all the light God has given them,
and are willing to conform to the will Of God,
and by resurrection from the dead populate
"a new earth" and the world to come

The Governments Obligation

BY approving $4,000 appropriation for
the Interstate Commission on the Potomac
River Basin, the House has done more than
make up for the Shortsightedness of its
Appropriations Committee. It has put it
self on record in favor of a cooperative
State-District of Columbia antipollution
undertaking that urgently needs Federal
support for complete success.
Up to now the commission has had to
depend entirely on contributions from
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Penn
sylvania and the District for administra
tive, survey and other expenses. Maryland
Is contributing $4,000; Virginia, $500;
West Virginia $2700; Pennsylvania, 81 800,
and the District of Columbia, $500. The
commission had requested Congress to
appropriate $4,000 as the Federal share Of
q project which is of great concern to the
Fedaral Government. The item was
eliminated by the House Appropriations
Committee because, according to Repre-
sentative Wigglesworth. the committe was
not impressed by the Importance of this
organization from its testimony"
To Representative Gary, Democrat, of
Virginia, goes the credit for convincing
the House that the movement to clean up
the Potomac River Basin is vitality i'm

commission since Its authorization by
Congress In 1897 and pointed out that

Worth TYinq?

BroOding-with good reaSon-over the
state of international relations, Professor
Malcolm Sharp of the University OF
Chicago Law School has come forward
with a rather engaging suggestion. The
suggestion is that the Big Four Foreign
Ministers, when and If they meet again,
should spend the first ten days drinking
moderately together and talking quietly
about such things as world history, the
nature of man, child psychology and the
pugnacious characteristics of the baboon.
It is his idea that if they would do this
they might gain in wisdom, acquire a
better understanding of themselves and OF
each other and thus develop cooperative
mood conducive to agreement.
DR.. Sharp argues from the premise that
"the child is father to the Foreign
Minister" Bevin, Marshall, Molotov and
Bidault have at least this one thing in
common: That they were all once little
boys and that they probably have been
subject to the five villains of childhood
Illustration, domination, jealousy, guilt and
fear" These factors, carried over into
adult life, may still color their thinking.
He may not know it, for instance, but Mr..
Bevin may act as he does because years
and years ago he may have been in
tensely upset by some playmate's ability
to beat him in a footrace. Similarly, it is
conceivable that Secretary Marshall holds
to his present views because he started
out wanting to be poet and was frus-
trated. AS for Messrs. Molotov and Bidault,
it may be that as youngsters they had
domineering parents or bullying friends
and hence they are as they are now.
Books on psychiatry are full of such cases.
What DR.. Sharp suggests, therefore,
would be aimed at getting the Foreign
Ministers to talk about the psychology of
children in such a way as to help them
exercise any completes that may be
troubling them inwardly and cumming up
the effort to write peace. Given that,
plus good drinks and ten days of learned
talk about human laundering in past
history, the waywardness of men and the
foolishness of balloons, then a general
world settlement might be possible. OF
course, there is much that Mr.. Molotov
could do to wreck such a session. He
could tie 1t up. for example, by refusing
to participate unless all agreed to imbibe
vodka rather than bourbon, or he could
bog 1t down by insisting that the first
item on the agenda must be man and not

Stors, Men and Atoms
Tobacco Chemical ested
As Atom Roy Medicine
Blood Vessel Walls Strengthened
To Halt Internal Hemorrhage
By Thomas r. Henr,

Ruth, chemical substance found chiefly in
the tobacco plant and which was introduced
two years ago as a strengthened of blood
vessels, may be the first radiation medicine
One Of the chief causes of death after
exposure to extremely heavy doses Of radia-
ton, such as the gamma rays from an atomic
bomb explosion or to less powerful X-rays, is
a generalized internal hemorrhage. Blood
oozes from the veins and arteries into practi.
cally every internal organ and tissue.
Presumably the cause of this, according to
a report just made here by Drs Paul E. Rekers
and John B. Field of the University Of
Rochester, Is destruction Of the coagulating
factors In the blood, which becomes extremely
thin. 1t Is able to ooze through the minute
interstices OF the blood vessel cells. Eventually
the coagulating factors are restored.
Walls Unimpaired.
There is no evidence that the walls Of the
doses of radiation, although this Is entirely
possible. 1t was felt, however, that anything
which would increase the strength of their
walls might be of benefit.
Two groups of dogs were subjected to very
heavy doses of x-rays. Half of them were
also given ruth, starting a week before the
radiation and continuing through the test.
Within from two weeks to a month after the
exposure, Is of the untreated and only three
OF the treated dogs were dead. 1t was
determined that the internal hemorrhags
phenomenon was the essential cause Of ths
mortality. The effects on the blood were
essentially the same in both groups and the
only difference was in the strength Of the
blood vessel walls
Contract Experiments
The experiments were carried out under q
contract from the Atomic Energy Commission
which is concerned particularly with radiation
accidents at its various stations. The effects
of the gamma radiation from an atomic bomb
explosion, however, would be quite similar.
In another experiment just reported here
substance found in asparagus which Is
closely akin to ruth was found to be
powerful killer of the micro-organism re-
sponsible for the development of the highly
fatal botulism in improperly canned meats
and vegetables and in silage. 1t has long
been observed, according to Drs. A. A, Andersen
and j. A. Berry Of the Department Of Agri-
cultures Western Regional Laboratory, that
botulism seldom develops in asparagus
When the substance quercetin was isolated
it was found to inhibit strongly the growth
of the organism, although 1t had no effect
on the poison after it had been formed.

ton? If imitation exists, it is only prices that

Driving the Reds Underground

There is lot of logic in Attorney Cen
eral Clark's stand against outlawing the
Communist Party. He shares the fears OF
Bureau of Investigation that legislation
making the party illegal would merely
drive the Communists underground. Such
a disappearing act would greatly compn-
cate the FBIs task of keeping tab on sub
versive organizations and their members.
As things are now, the Communists are
divided into two groups. One operates in
the open, with no attempt to conceal party
aff1liation. These front" representatives
are the ones who make speeches, sign pc
titions and, on occasion, invite contempt
citations from congressional committees
They are well known, of course, to the FBI
and other investigative agencies. The
other, and more numerous, group consists
of party workers who would never admit
their membership if called upon to do so.
They compose the "cells" which the Com
munists ceaselessly try to set up in labor
unions, industrial organizations, govern
mental agencies ands other strategic"
places The roles of both groups were ex-
posed in considerable detail in the report
of the Royal Canadian Commission on
Communist espionage activities in Canada
during the war.
Canada found that outlawing the party
did not solve the Communist problem. It
only caused many key agitators to dis
appear from sight. In place of the Com
munist Party appeared number of phony
"labor" and liberal" organizations which
were nothing more than Communist fronts
in disguise. One literary" group, the COM
mission found, was actually recruiting
Office" for Communists willing to betray
their country for theological reasons.
Since the pattern of communistic opera
tions Is the same everywhere, the out
lawing of the American Communist Party
undoubtedly would result in its reappear-
ance under false fronts, difficult to pene-
trate. The Communists who now operate
in public view would merely join the ranks
of those who carry on their subversive
activities in dark and devious ways. Ger
tainly nothing should be done to make
more difficult the efforts of responsible
agencies to expose those who would seek
to establish in this country potential fifth
column.
