Frank Buck

The legend of Frank Buck is here to stay
He referred to himself as professional wild
animal authority, and he justified the label so
well that it is likely to stick indefinitely. The
story of his career has vitality Of its own which
guarantees its survival.
Bucks interest in the creatures of the forests
and the jungles was the fruit of natural I'M
pulse, born in him and carefully cultivated all
his life. Whatever was curious in form or color
or purpose fascinated him. He responded espe-
cially to those animals that were dangerous to
approach. In search of them he visited long
list of faraway places where they could be found.
The quest in each instance was major opera
ton. Other hunters were satisfied to bring back
the pelts of the animals. Frank insisted upon
shooting them only with cameras.
Personally Buck was typical Texas plains
man. He tried office work and newspaper report
ing as youth, but the outdoors would not let
him escape. The open sky was the only roof he
was happy under. Even when he was i'll he
could not settle down. The net result of his
restlessness is the example he set plus the wild
creatures he rescued from the perils OF their
natural environment, many Of which survive
him In security which has proved beneficent in
terms Of longevity If no other way-and the
books he sponsored and which will endure as
long as any such literature lasts.

Guy de Maupassant attributed ever
recurring mass slaughter to "the ON
impotence of stupidity" as he expressed
it. And Jack London, strong, virile
man, who had seen life In its worst
phases, said, I'VE do not need insti-

$5,000,0 ,000-Worth of Fun q Year
By Dorothy McCordIe
WHAT price fun in the Capital
w the 1ando

WHEAT price fun in the Capital of
It's anybody's guess. But those who
only stand and serve-the caterers, the
hotel keepers, and the club managers
here in the greatest party town OF the
world-say that the fine art of Washing
ton entertaining costs close to IS mil
lion a year.
That covers a multitude of shindigS,
small and large. everything from a
simple little tea for 50-planned by the
Veep's bride, Mrs. Alben Barkley, at a
cost of $75-to the top-hat. white-tie re-
ception rendered the heads of foreign
missions by Secretary of State Dean
Acheson. Four hundred people had q
House-and it cost the taxpayers mere
$1,000, according to reports.
That was cheap diplomacy, as parties
go here. Private citizens-including
such folk as Perle Mesta, now our Am
bassador to Luxembourg; Mrs. Morris
Cafritz and Joseph E. Davies, our for
mer Ambassador to Russia-have spent
more than that for single nights
good time in their own homes. Mrs.
MeSta, formerly Washingtons No. l
party-giver. once fed 10000 cookies
made in her own kitchen to 1000 sight
seers trouping through her drawing
room. The Davies are said to have en-
tertained 1000 guests with "the works
from sturgeon and lobster to champagne
at total cost of $4,000. Plus, of course,
$500 extra for fine orchestra, and not
including the flowers, either.
Or take Pan-American Day, when 5000
people enjoyed taste of Latin-Ameri-
can hospitality, with all the South Amer
lean countries footing a $1,000 food bill,
an $500 liquor bill, 20-piece orchestra
at $500. and nobody knows how many
extras.
Or take something closer to the pocket
books of the American people, President
Truman's inaugural reception at the Ma
tional Gallery. Nine thousand people
enjoyed sandwiches, sweets, coffee, tea
and fruit punch. That was something
like $4,000 out Of Uncle Sans pocket.
When the social season hits its stride
again after Easter, one Of Washing
tons top caterers will dish up 80 to 40
parties week. And he is only one out
of half dozen men with that napkin
over the arm. Besides the caterers.

Social and Political ImmoruIity

The tendencies and habits of our gen.
eral society of today are detrimental to
moral and virtuous living. Elegance and
display are intriguing and entertaining
but are they not immoral at time when
tomorrow may be too late? We need
those who will give all their time to
the solving Of problems that are forced
upon us. There is no time for anything
but devotion and sacrifice with reason.
We need men of high mental caliber
who will put humanity and justice above
greed and politics. No mediocre mind
can guide our ship of state, the waters
are too troubled and danger turks be-
hind every mounting wave.

Britoin's Military Burdens

The heavy burdens entailed by British COM
mitments in various parts OF the world have
been set forth by the new War Minister, John
Strachey, in presenting to the House of Com
mons the army budget for the fiscal year
1950-51 He envisages an army strength of 373, 900
at cost of nearly $850,000000. OF these, 1885, 900
are regulars available for overseas service in
peacetime. The cost of the other fighting serv-
ices Chiefly navy and air ARM brings the total
of British military expenditures to approximately
$4,000, 100000
For straitened postwar Britain, this is
financial drain which has caused demand for
cuts in order to reduce taxation, maintain social
services, and spur industrial production. How
ever, there was little in Mr. Stracheys survey to
encourage the hope of reduced military expend
itures without gravely affecting British imperial
interests. He cited long list of commitments
which would persist. As he remarked sadly
"The tendency for a new overseas commitment
to appear whenever an old one has come to an
end has been most disappointing" For instance,
the withdrawal of British troops in Greece was
offset by the need to reinforce occupation
detachments in Somaliland during transfer Of
administrative responsibility to the Italians, and
in Eritrea to cope with mounting disorders in
that former Italian colony. Garrsons are still
required in Cyrenaica and Tripolitania, two
troublesome portions Of Libya. There is no
prospect of reducing the large British force
safeguarding Hong Kong, even though crisis
with the Chinese Communists has thus far been
averted. AS for Malaya that precious dollar
Garner for Britain more troops are urgently
needed to contain the Red bandit menace to It's
economy.
These are merely the highlights of an
overall situation which shows no signs of
ameliorating. And it should be understood that
the fulfilling of Britain's commitments is i'm
portant to US as well as to the British them
selves.

This Is No Time for Penny-Pinching

Coupled with what the President has written
to Chairman Kee of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, Senator Vandenberg's eloquent let
ter to Economic Cooperation Administrator Hoff-
man should sober all those Congressman who
are in mood to slash away at the omnibus
foreign aid bill particularly the s2950,000,000 of
new funds requested for the third year of the
Marshall Plan.
AS the chief Republican architect of our
"unpartisan" foreign policy-a policy that has
been gravely undermined within recent months
Mr.. Vandenberg, who is having a painful time
trying to recover from the operation he under
went last year, has in effect issued patriotic and
deeply moving appeal to both parties to return
to full cooperation in dealing with all problems
and projects involved in the cold war. Singing
out the Marshall Plan one of the most vital of
those projects, he has left no room for doubt
that he regards its vigorous continuation, for
the remaining two years of it's life, matter of
crucial Importance to the safety OF America and
the entire non-Soviet world.
In other words without specifically saying
that there should be no cut whatever in the
funds requested by the ECA, he has given full
implicit support to the Presidents warning
against the kind of economizing that could undo
all the great gains already achieved by the Mar
shall Plan-a reversal that could set in motion a
chain of events whose final consequence could
be the outbreak of another world war. AS Mr..
Vandenberg has said, had the plan not been in
operation for the past two years, Western Europe
today might be in the hands of the Communists,
with the Iron Curtain advanced Ito the very
rims of the Atlantic" and with our own Ameri-
can security thus fearfully imperiled.
The Marshall Plan, of course, has not
achieved perfect results, and when it comes to
its scheduled end two years from now, the results
probably will still be far from perfect. Neverthe
less, at this fateful halfway mark in its opera
tions, no one can intelligently dispute the truth
of Mr.. Vandenbergs statement that 1t has
rendered service of incalculable value to us and
the rest of the free world "in struggle that is
epochal in nature and global in design" Nor can
anybody argue with common sense, that we and
our friends abroad are now in position to relax,
rest on our oars or slacken the pace of
our common effort to grow in unity and strength
to point formidable enough to guarantee us
victory in the cold war.
This struggle involves stakes far too high
to warrant niggardliness. Although money saving
attempts are praiseworthy in these days of Fed
eral deficits, economy merely for economy's sake,
without reference to its possible effects on the
world situation, can be foolhardy in the extreme.
In short,as the President has said-with Mr..
Vandenberg's implied backing-penny- -pinching
at this stage could do irreparable harm, whereas
strike "a major blow for peace" if we do
what clearly needs to be done, despite the cost.
Congress should be governed accordingly.
