Fifty Years Ago i'm The Star

At noon on June 7, 1900, Florence s.
Boardman and Frederic A. Keep were
married in the home
Boordmon-Keep of the parents of the
Wedding bride. Mr.. and Mrs.
William j. Boardman,
Eighteenth and P streets NV, and The
Star for the same day gave an extensive
account OF the ceremony, which, as it
afnrmed, was "aS noteworthy from a
social standpoint as it was beautiful in
every detail Of the arrangements. Rev.
DR.. Alexander Mackay- Smith performed
the nuptial service in the library of the
house, filled with flowers for the occasion.
The brides younger sister, Josephine,
was her maid of honor and william
Keep. brother of the bridegroom. was
best man. ''The wedding gifts. which
were displayed in one of the large rooms
on the second floor, were not only the
most numerous but probably the most
valuable seen in this city for many
years" Mr.. Keep died some years ago,
but his widow still makes her home in
washington. Her older sister, Mabel
headed the Red Cross for nearly half 2
century.
On June II, 1890. The Star quoted an
editorial from the Philadelphia Press as

Memorioi tation on the part Of scores
BRIDGE of public spirited men, the
Nation bids fair to erect at
Washington fitting and lasting tribute
to American patriotism-that form of
patriotism that saved the country from
itself in the days Of '61-'65. This monu-
ment will take the shape of a memorial
bridge across the Potomac River and will
join the National Capital with the Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington, where
thousands upon thousands of the coun-
try's bravest heroes are awaiting for the
reveille of resurrection day. Not only
is the bridge intended to be passageway
between the Capital and the cemetery
and not only will it be constructed along
these lines It's other specific purpose is
to honor the men who, prompted by
patriotism. fought for their country in
the Civil War. Hence the structure will
be not merely so many spans thrown
across the waters Of the historic Potomac.

Why We Are Losing
By Bruce Borton

Some Of our leading internationalists
now are telling us that we are losing the
cold war"
We have lost all Of China to commu-
nism.
Territorially we have lost much Of
Southeast Asia morally we have lost
more. In one country at least, Indo-
China, we are hooked up with q rascal
whom no self-respecting American
would trust for five minutes with his
daughter or his dough.
Politically our big gain Is Tito. who
is making trouble for the Russians
not because he likes US, or because We
have succeeded In our policies: but be-
cause. as every student Of history has
tried to point out. despotism. seeking
world conquest. always has carried the
seeds Of its own destruction.
Many reasons are assigned for our
failures. Mostly. the experts. say, we
haven't poured out enough money or
built up enough armies and air forces.
have a different idea. The Kremlin
is winning the cold war because Stain
and his associates are Russians who
believe In Russia and Communists who
believe In communism.
We are losing because our President
and his associates do not believe either
in the capitalistic system or in placing
the interests Of the United States first.
They say they believe in our system.
But the President attacks 1t almost daily.
The Attorney General. supposed to be
the legal protector Of all Americans, even
including businessmen. spends much Of
his time seeking to discredit and destroy
business. Our Supreme Court is hostile.
A hundred bureaus and commissions
waste our money and impede our work,
How can we expect to lead the world
when our own leaders do not believe in
what they are supposed to be trying to
protect and extend?
In 1852 we may be wise enough to
elect n President who will say to foreign
countries: Make no mistake about 10.
My first business Is to uphold and
strengthen the United States"

Formoso Policy

short while back we heard q lot
about a new so-called bipartisan plan
wherein the Republicans would be called
In to consult with the administration
leaders in the formulation OF our foreign
polciy. The public will believe that this
policy has become operative only when,
as and if the administration reverses
its present China policy to the extent
sufficient to prevent Formosa from being
captured by the Red Fascists, both Chi
nese and Russian.
About so PIT boats or a dozen modern
fighter planes would doubtless prove
sufficient since the morale Of the Ma
tionalists would be raised greatly by any
help whatever The State Department
stands all by itself In assuming that the
loss Of Formosa to the Reds would not
be detrimental to the defense OF Indo-
China, the Philippines and Japan.

SCOUTING FOR ST. o

SCOUTING FOR ST. CRoIX
Governor HASTE by his appointment of a Commission on
Youth recognized once again one of the chief problems of
the Virgin Islands. Our youth become the working citizens
of our island. 1t is in their education that their personal and
the islands future is shaped. What they know or do not know
they pass on to their children. It is by clubs, organizations,
and community facilities that our educational facilities adj
mittedly poor, may be augmented. Church clubs, scouting;
and other organizations offer moral teachings and discipline
in the highest sense.
We will not Chere) discuss in detail the very commenda-
BILE work in Frederiksted of community and religious leaders
to re-establish scouting there. It seems to us that the bigger
question is up squarely to the community. Scouting for exam
pie depends as much on adults and the sponsoring community
as is does on boys or girls. It is from the Community that d
sponsoring committee, which in turn chooses a troop COM
mittee, and which then selects a Scoutmaster and Assistant
Scoutmaster from the citzenry to run the troop. This COM
munity base is the method because the function of a troop
is to serve the community by serving the youth. Since this
adult support and leadership has been lacking and undeci-
sive in recent years scouting, which was such a fine force
here in the twenties and thirties, has had its roots pretty well
destroyed. We say roots because the committee and sponsors
should furnish a continuing scout organization taking a boy
from twelve years of age and training him in leadership
through Assist. Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol
Leader, Jr. Asst. scoutmaster, Asst. scoutmaster lat 1) and
Scoutmaster Cat ~. Scouting anywhere should be a living,
growing organism. s.
AS we look about us we see that most of our community
leaders were Scouts. This is not by accident. The qualities
that scouting teaches, are taught also by church and other
groups, and train for life. The attraction, of scouting is that
the vigorous outdoor life of the scout troop appeals strongly
to our youth. AS in Frederiksted the community leadership
is sponsoring a troop to train its youth for a future in which
both the youth and the other citizens shall live. The more
that this generation can do for this generation, the better
parents and citizens they shall make. Every citizen should
ask himself what is he doing to help in the training of Saint
Croix's youth. The answer he gives himself is a matter with
his own conscience.

They asserted that General Mo-

regional assembly plants of cars
which included the rail transpor-

factories in the Detroit area gave
these companies an additional
profit. The commission said:
In highly competitive mar

a low level of rates are bene-
flied and the manufacturers with
the higher level Of rates are in
jured.
While at the present time, the
benefit is not reflected at the re-

To correct this the railroads
were directed to make upward ad-

adjustments out Of the home

Liles of oil, ammunition and other military needs will be laid in. Then the remaining 10000 men will be stationed near Anchorage, at the army's Fort Richardson base and the air forces Elmendorf Field.
 Tn case of attacl on the interior air fields, men fro.r Anchorage could be flown in. Ii more help were needed, reinforcements from the States could be brought up by air. It would, theoretically, take 5000 men to defeat 2,000 holding strongly fortified positions. To land 5000 men in the tundra around the fields and keep them supplied with equipment by air, while under aerial attack from the fields, would be a colossal feat.
 The Alaska strategy centers on three big air fields. AS long as they are held firmly Alaska will be safe, the military thinkers be- lieve. A successful amphibious landing on the Alaskan coast will be impossible as long as the U. S. navy maintains its present world supremacy, in the opinion of the army men.
 The strategiSts acknowledge that the Territory could be seized now with comparative ease. To them, however, it doesn't seem so attractive an objective as some of ficials have claimed. It could not be used as the starting point for a large-scale attack on the interior of the continent by mass armies, because of the supply difficulty.
 The Russians, for example, couldn't load their ships at any closer port than Vladivostok. And that 3,900-mile communication line would be far more than the Russian merchant marine or navy could maintain at this time.
