Who in the world would seek a job such as described above?
 Hundreds do every year! Hun dreds of splendid, intelligent, edu- |cated young Women-some from Jour very finest families are apply ing for just such jobs in the great Catholic Sisterhood.
 "The poor ye have always with you," said our Lord; and in Gods scheme of things, He has called to the service of His beloved poor the very flower of womanhood.
 In this country alone there are more than 155,000 humble, holy women, joined by the common VOWS of poverty, chastity, obedi- ence. Some of them teach in con- went and parochial schools. Others 'care for impoverished old folks and orphans. Some nurse in hospitals, in homes for cancerous paupers, in leper colonies, and midst shot and shell on the battlefields. Still others go about begging at res taurants, hotels, and other places for leftover foods with which to feed the hungry, making their own meals from the remnants left by their charges.
 There is no work too difficult, too menial, too revolting for these An gels on earth to undertake gladly

Not Based on Emotions

If emotions rather than facts were the
deciding factor in utility cases, the Public
Utilities Commission might have rendered
q verdict in the transit radio case more
pleasing to the vociferous opponents of
music-as-you There is no gainsaying
the fact that the directors made out an
emotionally strong case against streetcar
and bus radios
But, as the PUG points out in its deci-
sion to let the broadcasts continue, regula-
ton Of public utilities must rest upon
basis more tangible than imprisoned
pleas which reflect personal feelings either
in favor Of or against" policy or practice.
The only justifable reason for ban on
the radios would have been persuasive
showing that the broadcasts were menace
to safety or were inconsistent with public
convenience and comfort. The commission
found that, when the testimony was
stripped of its emotional overtones, there
was no such substantial showing. It is
hard to see how the PUG could have
rendered any other decision than to refuse
to stop the music.

ing the FIJI play key role in deternlin-
ing the individuals who should or should
not be chosen for non-secret fellowships.
But as a practical matter, even though
there may be doubtful wisdom in giving
police agency such a voice in the field
of advanced education and research, the
fact is that Congress itself has made the
check mandatory. 1t has done so because
in its judgment, regardless of security
considerations, the AEC-as happened in
one or two cases last year-ought not to
make fellows of Communists or other
actually or potentially disloyal persons.
There is good reason to believe that the
majority of Americans agree with this
view. Whether or not the FBI should be
injected into the non-secret research field,
the average citizen can hardly be ex-
pected to like the idea of having his taxes
used to finance the education of individuals
who may have little or no loyalty to our free
way of life. If their scholarship warrants
it, such persons can still receive private
fellowships. That is one thing. 1t is quite
another thing, however, to argue convinc-
ingly that they should have the support of
public funds. The position of the National
Academy of Sciences seems anything but
impressive on that score

trina did in the sixteenth century or Bee
thoven or Wagner in the nineteenth. They
cannot be mere imitators of Bach or Mozart
or Schumann or Schubert or Chopin or
Debussy or anybody else.
But that does not mean that music is
an art without canons or that expert
mentation is proper end in itself. The
composers who take advantage Of DR.. Kous-
sevitsky's offer must not be unfaithful to
the high tradition of musical excellence
which he himself has served all his active
life No one familiar with the history OF
his labors in Boston need be in any doubt
about the soundness of his philosophy Of
art. The younger generations of writer's
and players will do well to adopt his ex-
ample for their guidance. He has been
neither reactionary nor radical. They too
should be nonspartisan, free from arbi-
trary dogma, faithful to nature, mindful Of
the essential humanity of their audiences.
If this be their decision, the Koussevitsky
fund should be force and power Of I'M
limited value and worth.

The Koussevitsky Fund

DR.. Serge Koussevitsky's latest gift to
music is one in which Washingtonians es-
pecially will be interested. It takes the
form of an endowment of creative music
in the guardianship of the Library of Con-
gress. The donor wants to stimulate the
writing of great melodies. Those asso-
ciated with him In the foundation include
the composers, Aaron COPELAND, Howard
Hanson and William Schuman. With the
help of these collaborators, the former
conductor of the Boston Symphony will
carry on the work he began many years ago
when he first commissioned new efforts of
composition. His investment of 1912 al
ready has yielded IS scores.
The Library of Congress obviously Is an
appropriate depository for such manu-
scripts, and DR.. Koussevitsky is following
excellent precedent when he stipulates
that the worlds greatest photographic
establishment shall be the custodian Of the
texts he sponsors But it is not simply as
q storehouse that the Library is to func-
ton in the foundation now. being organ
lied. Exactly what techniques and pro-
cedures of endowment are to be devised
remains to be seen. The Library's recent
experience with prizes for poetry will
furnish guidance on what to avoid. It is
plain that the music to be written for the
KoussevitskN fund must be q product OF
the years and the conditions in which
it's authors live. They cannot be other than
they are-modern men and women. It
IS useless to expect them to write as Pales'

Explains Why Mr.. ABS Was Not
A Nazi Party Member

To the Editor of The Star:
The official visit Mr.. Herman Abs has oeen
paying this country is puzzling in itself. He
holds a position of extreme Importance IN
the reconstruction of Germany and Its re-
establishment as peace-loving, democratic
nation but hardly can be regarded as the
proper envoy for this task.
During the Nazi Regime Mr.. ABS occupied
one of the most influential and lucrative
positions that could be attained and which
required Hitler's full approval and con-
fidence This was true regardless OF the TACT
that he apparently was not member OF
the Nazi party
However, it is known that during the Hlt-
Ter era several high-ranking officials and
businessmen, vitality important to Germany
international trade, were not members OF
the National Socialist party. The reason Tor
this is simple enough.
Previously established international ousl-
ness relations were so important to German
economy and rearmament that the govern
ment was willing to do anything in order to
continue prohting from such connections.
In dealings with foreigners political links
with Nazi and Facist organizations would
have constituted q serious handicap. there
fore these men frequently were exempted
from joining the NSDAP. Such sacrifice on
behalf of the Naz party shows what i'm
portance the German leaders attributed to
these functions.

They are loud and boisterous, and insulting

It is they who push up the cost of every

Restricting Atomic FeIIowships

The Atomic Energy Commissions de-
cision not to grant any new fellowships
in non-secret fields Is based on the fact
that the National Academy of Sciences
and its Research Council are opposed to
having the Federal Bureau of Investigation
check on the Americanism of individuals
applying for such educational grants. AS
far'as secret work goes, the Academy and
Council do not object to the check, but
they are against it where security consider
atoms are not involved, and they are there
fore unwilling to administer that part OF
the program as long as it requires FBl
clearances.
AS a result, the AEcGwhich does not
regard itself as the proper agency to adj
minister the program in any Of its phases
will sharply reduce the number OF fellow
ships, limiting them to fields OF highly
advanced study, where 1t will be either
necessary or desirable to reveal secret data
to the fellows The latter, before receiv-
ing grants, will have to pass the inspection
of the FBI, and the MAS Council will
continue to run the administrative end
of the project as far as these particular
individuals are concerned. This strictly
limited arrangement, however, will have
the effect Of debarring new applicants
from Federal financial help In non secret
atomic research.
In principle, the Academy Of Sciences,
together with its Council, may have taken
q sound view in resisting the idea OF hav-

Thoughts About Fellowship
And Gratitude at Christmas
To the Editor of The Star:


At this time of year, when our hearts
are full with the spirit of fellowship, &C.
casioned by the celebration Of the birth Of
Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, it would
be such wonderful opportunity to tender
a gift in the form Of a resolution to God.
Why not? His gift to us was His Son,
that whosoever would believe that Jesus
Christ was the Son Of God, and SO confess
before men, should have everlasting life.
And Heaven? The Kingdom of God is in
mems hearts, here and now, not at some
future date.
Giving, yes. not just at Christmas. but
with Christmas in our hearts the whole
year through; giving to others, neighborli-
ness, forgiveness. love, sharing. But that Is
to each other, from me to you, and from you
to me, and from God to us.
What can we do, in addition, for God?
Several things: One. attend worship reg
ularly. God needs men. Go yourself, take
your family. don't just send them
Something else, more important perhaps:
Our coins, most of them. say In God We
Trust" Our earlier founders believed this.
Do you? II you do. why not resolve this
Christmas to obey one Of Gods command
n,ents which is so hagrantly violated today:
Thou shalt not take the name Of the Lord
thy God in vain.
God asks 10 little, and gives us 10 much.

Readers Disagree in Their Views
OF the Stars Handling of q 'Dud'

OF the Stars Handling OF Dud
To the Editor Of The Star:
When we moved from Washington to
North Carolina, we chose The Star as the
newspaper which we should subscribe to
because of it's fair, just, and usually con-
servative policies in reporting news.
But since your editorial ridiculing the re-
mort on shipment of vital atomic material
to Russia given by Fulton Lewis jr am
not so sure we chose the best paper. Your
sarcasm and attempt to belittle this very
laudable effort on MI Lewis part to place
blame where it belongs, Is most unbecomlng
and disappointing.
What we need in this time of turmoil and
political corruption is more fearless report
ers like Mr.. Lewis. You should know by
this time that he reports facts. Unlike
some columnists, he does not smear Tor
smearing's sake, but tries to keep our way
ward leaders from running what little F. d. II.
left of our country and its economic assets
Thanks for Fulton Lewis, jr. More power
to him. SUBSCRIBER.
To the Editor Of The Star:
It would seem appropriate to call to your
readers attention what Time magazine says
about your handling of the Maj. Jordan-Ful-
ton Lewis story, to which few of them
have objected: For making such gull
lble spectacle of itself, the United States
press has only its own bad reporting to
blame Only few could boast the
Journalistic responsibility and Integrity
shown by the conservative Washington Star.
No admirer Of Harry Hopkins when he was
alive, The Star early pointed out good rea-
sons to be highly skeptical of the Jordan
blockbuster' After the bomb had been de-
fused, The Star inferred it as the Prize Dud
Of the Decade"
Fairness towards those whose policies or
personalities we may not like is the nall
mark of maturity in men and newspapers.
