Socrosunct Smoker

A Soviet physician named A. Kuznetzoy
and the Russia Communist youth organ
ization seem to have collaborated In a
faux pas. The doctor has written a letter
attacking tobacco. and the young comrades
have printed 1t In their newspaper The
letter urges all boys and girls not TO smoke
The noxious weed. 1t says, Is At only for
the decadent Western world where the
whole system of life pushes man toward
the use of narcotics and where hunger,
need and despair" lead youngsters. to
"stupefy" their reason with such things
as pipes, cigars and cigarettes.
But what about the Great Stain? He
has been held up as a shining example to
be emulated by all-wise, peerless, the
light OF the world, always right and never
wrong. a veritable paragon OF virtue, and
an inveterate pipe smoker! To attack
tobacco, therefore, is to attack him. To
say that people "stupefy" their reason with
1t Is to say that he has been mentally
befogged for decades past. Maybe that
explains lot of things. but certainly DR..
Kuznetzov and the Communist youth
organization have reason to regret having
suggested the idea. One can almost hear
some heads falling already.

Aputhy of Voters

Maryland Circuit Court Judge Marbury,
in invalidating the Prince Georges County
Slot-machine law, criticized the deceptive
title under which the controversial law was
passed. His criticism was we'll founded
The phraseology "coin n-operated mechani-
cal or electrical amusement devices" is a
naive way of describing these so-called
"one-arm bandits"
But it Is doubtful that confusion over
what was being voted on had anything to
do with the apathy of Prince Georges
voters In the recent referendum which,
temporarily at least, legalized the gambling
devices. 1t Is very unlikely that any ap-
preciable number of the countys citizens
were unaware of the issues involved in the
referendum. Churches, civic organizations
and other groups and individuals has dis
cussed the issues at length for a long time
prior to the election.
Yet, out of q total of 45,s59 registered
voters in Prince Georges, only II, $50 were
sufhciently interested to 60 to the polls, or
less than 26 per cent of the qualified voters.
Slot machines won by a s64 margin. The
referendum on slot machines in Charles
County attracted a better percentage of
voters, about 49, but the showing still was
nothing to brag about.
The apathy of the nearby voters on the
slot-machine question Is just another indi-
cation Of disturbing trend that has been
evident with regard to elections of far
greater import. When approximately 48
per cent of the voters remain away from
the polls in presidential election-as they
did in November. 1948-it should not occa-
sion much surprise to find such a small
percentage turning out for slot-machine
referendum. 1t Is hard to understand why
citizens who have the right of suffrage
in free country can take that right so
lightly when the opportunity comes to

The major contestants are. of course, the
Liberal Party, now in power, and the Pro-

Thinks Cardinal Spellman
Should Be Rebuked by Congress

To the Edltor OF The star,
think II is unfair. but not at all unusual,
for Cardinal Speliman of the Catholic
Church to call Representative Barden of
North Carolina, "a new apostle OF bigotry, -
and charge him with being un- American
What right does Cardinal Spellman have to
charge this man with being un-American?
His bill. If the good Cardinal would but read

Certainly, it does seem that il you dare to
disagree with certain forces in this country
today, you are labeled un- American.
There is no reason why American tax
payers money should be spent to spread
propaganda of any religion. The Cardinal
should be called to task by our Congress for

Why should aw-sbiding citizens have mud
hurled at them for good old-fashioned
