Graham Finds Capital
Lacking Strengths It
Needs in Face Of War
By the Associuted Press

HO TSPRINGS, Va, Mar. 81
| Washington lacks many of the
strengths it should have at a time
when the possibility of war-even
annihilation-is a reality so close
at hand" Philip L. Graham de-
clared today.
The publisher of the Washing
ton Post devoted his address be-
fore the Association of National
Advertisers to an analysis of Amer
ica's cold war position in this
spring of real peril
"One salient fact about the
great threat that faces America is
that it is. I believe, recognized by
the American people. There is
always a great deal of timid fool
ishness about this in Washington.
1T seems to be an occupational
disease of Government to under
estimate popular intelligence.
3 Aspects Cited.
After touching on "the deep,
long term strengths of our insti-
tutions" the publisher singled out
three aspects of weakness"
First, he said, there were "obvi-
Gus gaps" in the structure of ex-
ecutive leadership and organiza-
ton. There is no chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission. The
Resources Security Board has been
without chairman for more than
a year. And "one of the, ablest
men in Government will soos de-
part. leaving a newl Secretary of
the Army to be found"
And, Mr.. Graham added, our
intelligence organization, which
is needed now to warn us against
assault on our mainland cities
- is and has been floundering
in a near chaotic state"
A second major weakness" as
serted Mr. Graham, which has
it's influence on the first, is the
weakness of the Republican Party.
Concern of Nation.
THE weakness of an opposition
party is of concern to the
country as whole. Any admin
istration is bound to grow COM
placent and dissatisfied and
bureaucratic If its rule seems un-
ending and unthreatened," he
explained.
And. at the same time, a weak
opposition party tends to become
reckless and irresponsible in a
manner detrimental to national
security"
Mr.. Graham listed as the third
weakness one that extended
throughout the country
That weakness is "a refusal to
recognize that in these cold war
days some domestic problems may
have to be subordinated to prob
lens OF sheer survival"

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it a rigid

Modern MARRIAGE
Woman Now II Continues to Lead
Helpful Life by Teaching BroiIIe
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Life may not begin at 65-but
it needn't end at 65, either.
That's the report of Mrs. Y.
But it ended at IS for two of my
friends, and I had a real scare"
she continues. I'm teacher
Two of my colleagues, women
some years older than I, broke
down when they retired at the
age of IS. Up to then, both had
been doing good work. they were
absorbed in their Jobs and had few
outside interests. Too many of us
teachers are like that.
"Within year each of these
women suffered from a nervous
breakdown and had to be sent to
a sanitarium. Death followed
soon. They had nothing to live
for!
This frightened me, and I de-
cided that I would begin at once
to prepare for retirement. I spent
months surveying the field to see
what an older woman could do.
Finally hit on the problem of
the blind, and began the study
of Braille. When I gave up my
school job I was Immediately en-
gagged to teach the blind people
how to read. At the age of II,
I'm still doing this. I can fit my

Women Voters
Call for Boost
In Taxes Now

Immediate enactment of legis-

was asked today by the League
of Women Voters of the United
States.
Believing that higher taxes are
necessary to combat imitation, to
maintain stability in the domestic
economy, and to provide the
means to meet military and inter-
national commitments, the league
has urged tax increase in letters
to members of the Senate Finance
Committee and the House Ways
and Means Committee.
"The league takes this position
on the basis of continued study
Of various aspects of taxation and
fiscal policy" Mrs. John G. Lee,
president of the organization,
stated in her letter to members of
Congress. Faced with the task
of restoring peace. in Korea" her
letter continues, "and of strength
ening our defenses to meet the
threat of aggression in other
parts of the world, a tax rise
seems to us to be imperative at
this time"
The action of the league is
based on it's belief that the re-
Gently accelerated military pro-
duction and procurement will
create shortages of durable goods
for civilian use. ITO minimize
the inf1ationary pressures which
this situation will provoke, it is
essential that surplus purchasing
power be drained off," the letter
states and expresses the idea that
any Federal tax increases would
'apply a brake to imitation" and
would promote economic stability.

French Wine Grower Talks Like Hereto
Frances Cox Leaves for Far East Job
By Betty Beale

Maj. Rankin Roberts, one OF
the more attractive bachelors to
have been stationed in Washing
ton, is back in town for a brief
visit and is stopping at the Stat
Ter. Having left the local scene
two or three years ago, he is now
fresh from Europe with some OBJ
servations worth repeating.
While a guest at the chateau
of a well-known French wine
grower, his host told him some
thing that may come as slight
surprise to those members of So
ciety who pride themselves on pre-
ferring the imported item to the
domestic. "I know I speak as
a heretic," said monsieur, "but
there are some American wines
comparable to the best French
wines" This from a Frenchman
and one of the best in the busi-
ness!
The mistake the American wine
growers make, he went on, is in
selling their products as substi-
tutes for French wines when &C
tually they are good enough to
sell on their own merits. We
need reclassification according
to American type and not accord
ing to French type.
Most fabulous sight Rankin
saw on the other side was the
lord mayors dinner in London
which launched the fund raising
for the buildings at the Univer-
sity of London that will house
students from The Commonwealth
and the United States. It's being
done as a thank you gesture for
