Last Monday evening District
Deputy Grand Master William
Wechtenhiser Of Harrington, pre-
sented his credentials TO Crystal
Fount and they we're acclaimed
with enthusiasm. Bill is well liked
in the lower part Of the jurisdic-
tiOn and should make a fine district
deputy. He was accompanied by
members Of his staff, whom he in
tr0duced. After the lodge session,
the Harrington boys being in a
Jubilant mood about dart ball, we
invited them to the second floor for
a practice game. After the drub-
bing they received at the hands of
the Crystal FOunters they were less
jubilant.
Crystal FOunt has decided to en-
ter the Kent County Odd Fellows
Dart League this winter. The
schedule will soon be announced
and co-Chairmen WOrthington and
Jester are hoping for the usual
swell support from Crystal FOunt
membership. The league will prob
ably consist of lodges from Milford,
Harrington, Dover, FELTON,, Camden
and Smyrna.

committee which thoroughly gave

Are you unhappy or emotionally
unbalanced? Do you have trouble
squelching your "cave man" in
stincts?
Music may be your answer.
DR.. Ira M. Altshuler, pioneer
in the use Of music in mental
therapy, believes so. He says
music surpasses all other insti-
tutions and mental mechanisms
in keeping men emotionally bal
anced and happy"
DR.. Altshuler, who is director of
the group and music therapy de-
partment at Wayne County Gen
eral Hospital at Eloise. Mich,
eulogized music as a Soother,
healer and civilizer yesterday be-
fore the National Association for
Music Therapy. The organization
is one of IA convening here at
the Shoreham and Wardman Park
hotels in conjunction with the
18th annual meeting of the Music
Teachers National Association.
Reconciles Instincts.
The arts, especially music and
drama, help to bring men nearer
to one another, help man to &C
tivate his collective ego or his
social self, says DR.. Altshuler.
He sees music as a reconciler
of mans more primitive instincts
and the demands of civilized So
ciety. "In the war dance, for in
stance" DR.. Altshuler stated. "the
two drives-the desire to kill and
the social forces opposed to killing
are formidably reconciled with
the help of music ". :" .
DR.. Altshuler. who is an ac-
complished pianist and composer
as well as psychiatrist. gave this
other example of music as recon-
ciler: eff should go up to a
young lady on the street and
start jitterbugging, I probably
would be thrown into jail. But
| If I do that in a dance hall with
music as the backdrop, it would
be perfectly acceptable"

The reasons forthis discrimination
belongs to him alone with nobody
else having a right to question
why he Disseminated against GER
tain persons or groups; declared
the witness.
"The idea that there is a free
dom not to be Disseminated
against is both a distortion of the
idea of, freedom of association and
plain hokum", he declared.
He stated that the whole pat
tern of thought implicit in the So
called "civil rights legislation is
repugnant to and destructive Of
basic religious freedom.
The New Yorker claims that
any such legislation is unnecessary
because "the constitution of the
United States and the constitutions
of the several States are ade-
quate to protect exercise of the
unquestionable civil rights belong
ing to every American"

Quoting from DR.. E. Stanley
Jones who once said "This age

statement by saying that ''this age

House Group
Closes Hearings
BY Alice A. Dunnigan

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
House Judiciary committee closed
hearings last Tuesday on civil
rights legislation with the testi-
mony of DR.. H. M. Griffith, vice
president of the National Econo-
mic Council, Inc, New York City.
In behalf Of the council, DR..
Griffith appeared in opposition to
H. R. 1852, commonly known as
the "Civil Rights Act of 1949".
This bill which was introduced last
May, by Cong. Emanuel Cellar
3D., N. ~ provides for means Of
further securing and protecting
the civil rights of persons within
the Jurisdiction of the United
States.
DR.. Griffith interpreted this
measue as an "arbitrarily at
temporarily attempt" to quench
the unalienable rights of a free
man to choose his associates and
associations.
He contends that "discrimina-
ton" is the very foundation of
free life. Pointing out that
every individual has the right to
discriminate between whom he does,
or does not, chose to associate.

There is nothing in these civil

citizens, and he is sure, he, told

by representatives of the Protest
ant, Catholic and Jewish faithsand
ofthe Negro and white race, last
Sunday onthe 20Oth broadcast of
the "American All" radio pro-
gram directed by DR.. Tomlinson
Todd, president Of the Institute on
Race Relations.
Among those who raised their
voices, over radio station WOOK,
in a concerted effort to achieve
international brotherhood were DR..
Mordecai w. johnson, president
of Howard university; Rabbi Hy-
men E. Cohen, president Of the
Washington Board of Rabbis; DR..
John J. O'Conner, secretary of the
Catholic ~Interracial council and
professor of history, School of

Edmonds, director of the Depart
ment of Social Welfare, Washing
ton Federation of Churches.
In his remarks, DR.. johnson
pointed out that although peoples
of the world differ in color, Ian
guage, religion and culture, they
all hunger for brotherhood.
He declared that these people
are not contended to be intelligent
animals struggling desperately
against each other for bread, but
1--WE are hungry to be led by men
of faith who believe that a brother
ly society, resting upon shared
economic security, is possible in
this world, and who are prepared
to undertake those measures of
free and intelligent organization
of our work which lead US in that
direction"
Since the movements of history
have placed the United States in
the position of world leadership,
DIR. Johnson stated that the per-
Torrance of her domestic acts
will be under the scrutiny Of
millions of eyes and ears around
the world, looking for a leader
with the faith that gives answer
to these deepest brotherhood hum
gers of the human heart"
Therefore, continued the How

States votes for fair employment
practices and civil rights, it is
not merely an answer tothe Ne
gro, the Jew, the Catholic and
other American minorities, it is
the answer of millions of brother
hungry hearts around t h
world who are eagerly looking for
leadership in faith.
Rabbi Cohen made it clear that
the peoples ofthe world are not
looking for a raw, natural, unre-
fined brotherhood, but are seek

You know, sometimes | thinl, it's a

could never survive all the nonsense
IN which We indulge ourselves.
Take the welfare state business.
The state of Washington is currently
supplying a fine example of what can
happen when the voters get rush Of
ovcr-gcnerosity to the head.
What happened out there was that
the state enacted a welfare law so
liberal that one wonders why anyone
ever would want to work when he
can do SO well while unemployed.
Governor Arthur b. Lauglic, in a re
cent speech reported by the Associ-
ated Press, declared that in many
cases the assistance payments actual
ly are in excess Of the average wage
rates Of the community.

Democratic Tax Dodgers

In these days, when familiar distinctions
between right and wrong are more and more
blurred, it is not too surprising that the Demo-
Gratis should be trying to avoid payment of
Federal taxes on the $53OOOO paid in for the
Jefferson Jackson Day dinner
The Democratic National Committee claims
that the $1O0 tickets to that dinner were not
sold, and therefore are not subject to the 20 per
cent tax What happened, according to this
dodge, is that the tickets were given free to any
one who was thoughtful enough to contribute
Sl0o to the Democratic cause. And contributions,
of course, are not taxable
But this does not jibe with what the Presi-
dent said at his press conference last week. If
Government employees want to buy tickets to
the dinner, Mr.. Truman said, they have eyerv
right to do so.
So the question is, were they buying tickets
or making political contributions? The Internal
Revenue Bureau is looking into" the matter.
and it will be interesting to see what it finds,
But the average citizen had better not entertain
any idea that he can get away with this sort of
thing just because the Democratic National Com
mittee may be able to do so. When March is
rolls around he had better be prepared, as usual,
to pay through the nose.

How Tho Rri+ioh E|oc+i0o W0rkc zaesAs4azss
By Nevbod Moves, T.

THERE are only two places in Britain
l. where the people actually are voting
in today's election for or against either
Mr.. Attlee or Mr.. Churchill The voters
of West Walthamstow, in London, are
finding Mr.. Attlee's name on their ballot
slips (the British scorn voting machines). .
And the voters of the nearby residential
suburb of Woodford are deciding liter
ally whether to place their Ks by Mr..
Churchill's name.
Practically speaking. of course, each
Briton knows that vote for the Labor
candidate in his district is a vote to
continue Mr.. Attlee as Prime Minister
and that if the Conservatives win in
majority of the 625 districts, Mr.. Chur-
chill will take over.
But this does not mean that the diff
ferences between the British and Amer
ican electoral systems are superficial.
They are not. In order to understand
the mechanics of the British system,
Americans have to make a radical ad-
justment in the conception they derive
from their own practice.
The American has to picture a pres
1dential election here in which he is
asked to vote only for a member of the
AAoNoS Va teCPl 10 Speak IOC
his particular Congressional district. He
must imagine that, after the election,
the House members chose one of their
own number to serve as President.
In essence, that Is what the British
general election amounts to. The vot-
Ing Is not directly for the Prime Minister
their President" The voter does not
have to decide whom he wants for his
Senator. for there is no Senate. Nor
does he, as he does here in election years,
vote for governor or mayor, alderman
or sheriff. He is concerned only with
his particular representative in the House
of Commons, which for practical pur-
poses is the unicameral legislature of the
land.
Now the ordinary British voter has no
say in the selection of the candidates
among whom he must choose There
is nothing in the British system which
corresponds to our primaries The candi-'
dates are adopted" by the parties
usually by the local party associations,
which are smaller groups than those in
this country. The local choice is then
indorsed by the party's central Office in
London.
Sometimes this process is reversed,
with the central Office suggesting
suitable candidate to the local group.
In either case, the chosen candidate
need not necessarily be local man. He
may be. About rs per cent of the current
crop of would-be M.Ps live in the
general vicinity of their constituencies.
But there is nothing to prevent man
from representing a district he has
never been near.
This leads to fundamental difference
between the British and American
legislative systems For member of the
House of Commons is not supposed to
run errands for the folks back home;
the gentleman from Much Hadham
doesn't care whether Much Hadham gets
its new post Office much more than he
cares whether Stow on the Wold gets
