Ina1ienable Rights

NVTHEN the authors of the
w American Declaration of
~ independence wrote the in
spired words, eve hold these
truths to be self-evident, - that
all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the pursuit Of Hap
piness," they gave expression to
truth which has provided much
human endeavor with progress
sive impulse.
! Superficial thinkers sometimes
| argue that men are not created
equal, for, they say. many are
born underprivilesed, while 9TH
ers inherit wealth and opportu-
nifty. This would make life, lib
erty, and happiness dependent
upon material conditions; yet
they are spiritual qualities, which
can be attained as they are rec
ognized as attributes OF God.

truly democratic society that dis
tinctions of birth or station do
not prejudice a mans standing

Falls Church Meets q Crisis

The overwhelming vote by which citizens
Of Falls Church approved a 100000 bond
issue for new schools was no surprise to
those familiar with the gravity of the post
war school crisis in that rapidly growing
community. With school conditions de-
scribed by parent-teacher groups as
shocking" due to overssowded classrooms
and outmoded facilities, it Would have been
really shocking If the residents of Falls
Church had failed to meet their emergency.
The bond issue will mean an increase in
the tax rate of about twenty-five cents for
every hundred dollars of property valua-
ton. But, by their vote, the freeholders OF
this progressive little city have signiled
their belief that this tax boost is small
price to pay for the adequate education, of
their children. Falls Church has set fine
example of civic enterprise and civic re-
sponsibility for other communities to fol-
low

The Vienna Exhibition

The appeal of great art to people OF all
classes perhaps never had more conyinc-
ing demonstration anywhere than it did
at the National Gallery yesterday when
the Austrian loan exhibition was opened
BY actual count 41,725 persons made use
OF beautiful Sunday afternoon and eye
ming to see paintings, works of sculpture,
tapestries, armor and jewels of priceless
intrinsic value and the very highest
esthetic significance. AL of the works
shown have stood the test Of time. Each Of
them is a proof OF the intensity Of human
feeling, the power and devotion Of human
effort. Back of every item lies a story OF
creative genius trfumphing over circunl-
stance. The variety OF the treasures dis
played is in itself fact worth emphasize
ing. A similar observation applies to the
individual perfection Of each component
part Of the collection.
Thus the Uermeer picture probably Is
the greatest Of his productions, the Titians
and the Ruhens are the cream Of those

lovely than words can ten. II anything

nobler Of its kind ever was made OF gold
than the Cellini salt-cellar, 1t well may
be wondered what it is. But superlatives
of praise soon become meaningless as the
visitor moves from one master achieve
menr to another. The Van Dyck portrait
of the Young knight in Gilded Arnor, for
instance: Where is language to be found
equal ito the task of describing its magic?
Rembrandt's Interpretation of the youth,
the grace and the charm Of his son Titus
is only another example Of the inadequacy
Of written speech to meet such demand.
But the crowds yesterday found ways
to express their pleasure over the priv
lege Of seeing the Vienna pictures. A vet
eran bystander who has seen multitudes
come and 60 since the National Gallery
was placed in service in 1941 put his reac-
ton in this fashion: "Here is an experience
to remember!" The record of million
people hocking to see the Kaiser Friedrich
collection from Berlin last year seems GER
tain to be broken with regard to the Haps-
burg treasures between now and Janu-
ary 40.

The ItuIiun Colonies

Decisive approval of ten-year italian
trusteeship over Somaliland by the Polit.
ical and Security Committee Of the United
Nations Is expected to be followed either
today or tomorrow by definitive Cen
eral Assembly settlement of the conten-
tious issue of the former Italian colonies.
Offhand, it may seem strange that
Somaliland should be the crux of the
matter, because that semidesert strip of
land lying along the Indian Ocean at the
northeast tip of Africa is economically
almost worthless and strategically neg
ligible It's significance is in the fact that
it has become vital prestige symbol
in Italian eyes. A trusteeship over Somali-
land will 60 far to mitigate popular
humiliation in Italy over the loss Of
the rest of its former colonial empire. It
will thus become easier for the italian
government to acquiesce in losing the more
valuable territories Of Libya and Eritrea,
to which it is tacitly resigned.
The symbolic quality of the proposed
Somali trusteeship Is evidenced by the
fact that It.. Is definitely limited to ten
years, after which Somaliland Is to be-
come independent Likewise, during the
trusteeship, Italy is to be assisted In its
administration by U. N. advisory council.
These provisions eliminated the previous
opposition Of the Moslem members Of the
U. N. The somalis, Hamitic people, are
solidly OF the Moslem faith. Opposition
to the trusteeship plan was confined to
Ethiopia and the Soviet bloc, although for
widely different reasons. Ethiopia wanted
Somaliland to get an outlet on the Indian
Ocean, but its claim was considered to
lack economic or political weight. Soviet
Russia and its satellites advocated a
straight q. N. trusteeship, as 1t had over
the other italian colonies. But this idea
was generally opposed because It would
have given Moscow voice in administers
ton, deemed potentially dangerous by the
nom Communist world.
Specific u. NJ interest In the proposed
settlement arises from the fact that the

First Formal

There ought to be some one to watch
over a father who is foolhardy enough to
take on the job Of buying his daughters
first formal. For it is doubtful that he
will ever again feel really competent to
take care of himself.
It is not right that such thing should
happen to q man. There Is something
enormously unfair and unjust about the
whole business. To be sure, In an un-
guarded moment, he did tell his wife that
1t was silly to talk about spending weeks
looking for the first formal; that he, the
head Of the house, could 60 out and buy
one in ten minutes. But what man would
expect such remark to be taken seriously?
Who would ever think that a normally
reasonable and understanding wife would
snap him up and say: "All right. You
60 out and buy It'll"
The Junior Miss department Is strange
and terrifying place. There are racks of
dresses, bewildering in their variety of
colors and styles. The teen-ager-actually
she won't be twelve for another month
darts of on tour of inspection. Across the
room, two women customers glance at
each other and smile indulgently. Then
the saleslady, crisp and efficient, arrives.
What did the father have in mind? What
color?> What style? Was he thinking Of
something with straps, or would he prefer
an of -the-shoulder model?
The father, of course had not the faint
est semblance of an idea. But the sales
lady was resourceful. Gust have seat
and we'll try some on" Then came the
greatest shock Of all. This self-assured
young creature parading back and forth
in the blues, the yellows and the green's
could this be his daughter? Where had
she learned the unfamiliar jargon in which
she and the salesgirl discussed the good
points of one gown, the bad points Of
another? What had become of the little
girl who had so much trouble with her
spelling? How is it possible for such a
change to take place without man being
aware Of it?
Finally the ordeal ended. In despera-
ton, selection was made, to be delivered
the next day.
No matter that the father, upon being
closely cross-examined at home, was UNI
able to give more than the vaguest descrip-
ton Of his purchase No matter that he
could give no description of others that
had been tried on and no reason for their
rejection. No matter, even, that the first
formal upon arriving, was promptly re-
turned.
It was enough that the dreadful expert
ence was over-an experience never to
be forgotten and, above all, never to be
repeated.
