Wants Library Grounds Improved
BY Travelling Gardener

To the Editor of The Star:
I suggest the Public Library employ q
landscape gardener to take care of the
grounds around the main library and all
branch libraries in the District. The weeds
are crowding out the flowers and shrubs.
Janitors do NOW the lawns, but they do
not know how to take care of the flowers,
shrubs and trees. One landscape gardener
going from library to library. could do the
pruning and with the janitors' help could
beautify the grounds
The grounds surrounding our libraries
are just as important to education as are
books and schools.
1t took us % years to get the first appro-
priation for the Petworth Public Library
This is beautiful building in fine loca-
ton. The Petworth Citizens Association
and the Petworth Woman's Club took the
lead in financing the Identification of the
grounds. Now what do we have but neglect
and destruction and weeds? Our library
trustees never have asked for q landscape
gardener.
We want Petworth Library to be a beauti
full place, not an eyesore, in our Nations
Capital.

Says Mr. Barbee Did Not See
Papers of the Bingham Family
To the Editor of The Star:
David Rankin Barbee claims he made a
thorough search Of the Bingham papers in
Cadiz, Ohio. in regard to Mrs. Surratt
At the time the Bingham family left Cadiz
for Washington. D. c.. boxes containing Mr..
Bingham's papers were strapped in steel
and given to our family for safe keeping.
They have never been opened, barring one
left in the barn. The rest are in the third
floor OF the house. Mr.. Barbee had access
to none of them.
I think his claim of having made q
thorough search of Mr. Binghams papers
and his conclusion are mistaken.

expletive more eloquent than Dad gum it,

Disapproves Representatives Of Religion
Having Hand in World Peace
To the Editor of The Star:
recent speaker on the Catholic Hour
stated that peace never will be achieved until
the Pope is given hand in it. according
to his own terms. Representatives of other
religious denominations also have made
known their desires that religious leaders be
given part in making the peace.
This writer. for one. hopes that these re-
quests never will be granted. Iwould like to
see just and lasting peace as much as any
one. but not at the expense Of religious free
dom. Let us keep religion in its own sphere
and politics in its sphere. The two do not
mix It is all very we'll to speak of peace
based on moral principles. but there are
different interpretations Of moral principles.
II we want to see a thoroughly muddled
state of affairs, let us allow religious leaders
to attempt to mold the peace. A READER.

THE DARK summer sheer
Il offers one way to be both

summer when certain occa-
sions decree that you be a bit

The sheer" this season does
not necessarily mean "di-

one of the new, thin black

OF the sheer group of fab
RIGS that includes crepes and

Most Of the chiffon dresses
this season are fashioned
over taffeta or crepe slips.
They may be styled in a very

Penn Manor House
BY Jessie Font Evons

The William Ridgely Chaplines
of 1902 Albemarle street NV,
with their two daughters. Barbara
and Ridgely, had a field day in
Europe last summer when Mr..
Chapline was United States rep
resentative to the Fifth Interna-
tional Grasslands Conference held
at Noordwijk. Holland.
Their experiences. which ranged
from taking pictures of royalty to
visits in famous old homes, were
refreshingly different from those
of most European tourists.
When Mr.. Chapline took his
family with him to a Grasslands
Conference in Wales shortly be-
fore World War II. he gave his
wife movie camera. Today, her
colored films and talks about them
are fast taking her into profess
sional company, and have lent an
objective to many Of her civic and
cultural pursuits.
Mrs. Chapline assembled and
edited 5000 feet of colored movies
for the Girl Scouts here, so was
1T any wonder that Nine. Van

Girl Guide of the Netherlands,
whom Eve Chapline had met here
in 1945, should have made avail
able unusual opportunities for
Mrs. Chapline to take pictures of
the Girl Guides in Holland?
She was an honored guest at
the opening Of the new Buiten
zorg Girl Guide HosteD situated
about half mile from the village
of Barn. Here she met Queen
Juliana and the Princess Irene
and took pictures of them and of
the event. Mrs. Chapline de-
scribes the Queen as, Simple.

her dark blue uniform as a Girl

one cordially, saluting with her
right hand and extending her left

The Princess Irene, about 9, in a

Girl Guide cookies after dedica-
ton exercises. then rode back to
the village with the rest of her
troop on a bicycle.

No Shore Leave
Cincinnati Enquirer


The USS Milwaukee, known during the war as
the Soviet cruiser Murmansk has been returned to the
United States in accordance with the end-lease agree
ment of 1914 This all in order, and we are glad to
have the Milwaukee back, although it is an ancient
vessel and presumably never will again be IN active
commission in the American fleet.
The puzzle lies in the fact that 1854 Soviet sailors
who brought the ship the port of Lewes, DEL should
have been Kept aboard throughout their stay of quite
some days Instead of getting shore leave while walt
ing for the Soviet transport Molotov, sent to bring
them back the sailors confined to their ship.
cordial welcome was assured to them on shore
1t is possible that Soviet officials were afraid
some of them would jump ship Certainly 1t would be
blow Soviet prestige if some OF the crew OF the
Murmansk deserted and chose to live in the united
States even with the risk of illegal entry This seems
rather farfetched however, for those sailors would
know they would be deported to the country OF their
origin if they were caught without proper immigration
visas.
1t seems more likely that Soviet authorities simply
did not these hundreds of Soviet sailors to get
friendly welcome from the American people, who
have been represented the bitter enemy OF the
Soviet Union Russians told day after day in
their press and radio that America is degenerate
country wouldn't do for these hundreds of sailors
to see the United States at close range
And there danger that they would get too
good an impression of America. For most of those
seamen had served in the cruiser during the war.
They had share in the protection of American mer-
chant crews the cold, hazardous run to Murmansk.
They would have been warmly welcomed in America.
And that obviously would be bad!
