Pork-BorreI Politics

Listening to the Presidents speech and Mr.
Stassens answer, one would hardly suspect that
this country faces future that is as critical
and as dangerous as any in its history.
In ST. Louis, Mr.. Truman made a pork
barrel speech. He told the farmers and the
workers that they ought to have their heads
examined if they did not vote the Democratic
ticket Why? Because, according to MIR. Truman,
vote for the Democrats is a vote for prosperity
and the more abundant life
The only concession made by the President
to the ominous threat in the Far East was
statement that some hard fighting lies ahead in
Korea. 1t looks there as though we may find
ourselves at war with Red CHINA war that
would bleed this country white. There was no
hint of this in Mr. Humans message. Even If
that war should not materialize, the Presidents
economic advisers tell us that hard times lie
ahead for the American people-that disastrous
initiation cannot be avoided without billions In
additional taxes and general lowering Of the
standard of living. There was not the slightest
suggestion of this, however, in the presidential
message. He preferred for purely political rea-
sons, to stick to the come-an d-get-it theme.
Mr.. Stassen's offering was hardly more
admirable. He did dwell upon the threatening
situation in Asia, but, of course, he blamed the
Democrats. He did not say how the Republicans
would improve the situation, nor did he point
to anything in the Republican congressional
record which warrants belief that the country's
position would be any better If they had been
in control of foreign policy. Mr.. Stassen also
talked about imitation. But he did not put either
himself or his party on record as indorsing the
taxes and other sacrifices necessary to deal with
imitation. He was content with expressing con-
ndence that "the American people are too
intelligent to follow on down this slippery infia
ton road"
In short, these oraSorical efforts were nothing
more than partisan bids for votes on election
day. Maybe this is the kind of stuff that the
voters like Considering the tremendous stakes
involved, however, it can hardly be said to offer
them much of choice.

lebensruum

George Washington greatly cherished
a certain plan for the new Nation: The
plan Of the District Of Columbia. It was
his dearest wish that Virginia, his native
State, donate the land on the west side
of the Potomac. If he had known his
wishes would never be carried out, it Ger
tainly would have grieved him greatly.
To us of today, the wishes Of such
lofty character as Washington should be
a spiritual command and duty to per-
form. We are ungrateful in not carrying
out his desires, when we consider the
endless and enormous sacrifices he made
for us. Therefore, it seems to me. the
District Of Columbia should be restored
to the original boundaries.

Congested GIebe Road

The cause of public safety supports the re-
quest of the Arlington County Board for elm
ination of the dangerously. congested grade in
tersection at Lee Boulevard and Glebe Road.
The job is on for State action, for both high
ways are unde' control of the State Highway
Commission. Both are main thoroughfares
through Arlington County although it LIS not
easy to recognize the narrow Glebe Road as
main thoroughfare. Yet 1t is the only direct
north-south route across central Arlington from
the Potomac River to Alexandria.
The county long ago outgrew Glebe Road, yet
most of the highway retains its horse-and-
buggy-era pattern-barely wide enough for two
cars to pass safely and, in its northern portion
especially marked by crowned surface and bad
curves. Within the past year the State rebuilt
Ridge Road to Columbia Pike, into o modern
divided boulevard. Funds have been allocated
for widening of the road from North Randolph
Street to Washington Boulevard. This second
step in the improvement program will include
adjustment of the "dog-leg" bottleneck at Glebe
Road and Wilson Boulevard
The worst traffic impeachment is the Lee Boule
vard-Glebe Road crossing, however. With the
opening of the new Hecht's department store
on Glebe Road, the traffic problem will become
even more acute. The County Board is right IN
urging the State authorities to make provision
in the 1872 budget for further improvement
of Glebe Road, including grade separation
structure at the Lee Boulevard intersection. The
situation at this crossing has become too haz-
ardous to permit of additional delay by the State.

To Curb the Wor-Minded

thing that speaks pretty much for itself
is the fact that only the fve-member Soviet oloc
has voted against the General Assemblys history
making resolution on United Action for Peace
The dissent-the latest in a virtually unbroken
series of Russian mos" since the end OF the war
can be interpreted in only one way 1t means
that the men of the Kremlin are as determined
as ever to pursue policy OF aggression ana
Illustrate the worlds efforts to estaoisn an enec-
tive system of collective security
By way of contrast with Lebanon absent and
with India and Argentina abstaining because
of certain legalistc doubts, the other members
of the United Nations-52 in all-have voted
alphabetically in favor of the Soviet-re1ected
resolution. They have done so because they
are against aggression because they wish to
strengthen the peace preserving machinery OF
the u NJ because they hope that by this latest
action-which is designed to increase the policing
effectiveness of the world organization-tn Will
be able to make the war-minded extremely
hesitant about trying to commit in other areas
the crime that is now being fought In North
Korea.
To that end, the 50 nations have voted for
organizational and procedural changes that will
enable the u. N. to deal swiftly and decisively
with any acts of aggression (Which could include
Red China's current conduct even when or II
the Soviet veto paralyzes the Security Council
az would have happened last June IN the case
of Korea had not the Russians been boycotting
the Council at that time. Thus, one of the major
features of the far-reaching new resolution is
that it eouips the General Assembly to meet in
emergency session. on "a hours notice, in order to
take measures against an aggressor in the event
that the Councils peace enforcement machinery
is sabotaged by vetoes or filibusters.
In addition the resolution provides for the
following III = 14-nation peace Observation
COMMUNICATIONS membership is supposed to
include Russia and the rest Of the big Five
to serve as a reporter and observer in any con-
fict-threatened area. (2) A recommendation
that every member of the u. N. establish within
its national armed forces specially trained units
that could be used by either the Assembly or
Council to cope with aggression. And 60 a
collective Measures Committee" which is to
make detailed study between now and next
September on how best to employ such units
and organize other steps to help the United
Nations promote international security.
In opposing all this, the Soviet bloc has in
effect served notice that 1t does not want the
U. N. strengthened as an instrument against
aggression. In that sense, the men Of the Krem-
lin can be accused Of voting once again against
the forces Of peace, thus setting themselves apart
from the rest of the world in kind OF menacing
self-isolaton.

have just read your account Of the
Police Department making a survey Of

flowers to careful walker who observed
traffic lights and other conditions before

Such action by the police is just too

Wars Do Strange Things to Elections

Gals IN MS own party. In Tine congress
sional elections Of 1862-after the failure
of the York Peninsular campaign to take
Richmond, the defeat Of the Second
Battle of Bull Run and the escape of
Lees army after Antietam-the Demo-
Gratis of the north showed surprising
strength. Their representation in Con-
gress Increased from 43 to rs. A Repub-
lican majority Of 81 was reduced to ~.
But in 1864-after Sherman had taken
Atlanta, Farragut had entered Mobile
Bay and Sheridan had cleared the Shen-
andoah-the picture changed. Mcclellan
got nowhere in his campaign for the
presidency. The Democratic representa-
ton in the House was reduced to AZ. and
the Republican majority was increased
to lot.
President Polk, Democrat, made war
with Mexico In May, 1916. A quick vic
tory was expected. It apparently did
not come quick enough to suit the cleo
torate. The 1886 elections returned
Wing majority of seven votes. Victory

as spectacular as that of the War With
Spain.
It was a popular war. Both parties
we're competing as expansionist. The
Wings stole the fruits Of victory by
nominating Gen. Zachary Taylor, the
captor of Monterey and hero Of Buena
Vista. He won over Lewis Cass Of Michi-
gan, who had been Secretary Of War In
Jackson's reorganized cabinet. And, as
If to confuse the picture further, the
people elected a House Of Representa-
tives with a Democratic majority Of
votes.
AS to the War of 1812-the exception
which proves Will Rogers rule in that it
was pretty much lost on the field and
saved at the peace conference.-the
Federalists, who were in opposition,
made gains In the congressional cleo
tons Of that year. There had been some
losses, which probably seemed relatively
unimportant then but are staggering to
contemplate today. The area lost in the
battles of that year included Detroit and
Chicago Fort DEARBORN.
But by the time the next elections
came around, the great victory at New
Orleans fought after the peace was
signeO saved everything. The Jeffer-
sonian Republican Party stayed in power,
and the Virginia dynasty continued with
Munroe succeeding Madison.
What's the answer? Prof. Wood
Gray, head of history at George Wash
ington University, who was consulted in
the preparation of this article, is Of the
opinion that military defeat is always
costly politically. but that military VIC
tory especially If it is complete, may be
just as costly. 1t is no longer necessary
for the people to support the party re-
sponsible for the military effort. AS for

Apartments and Tuxes

For many years those citizens of
Arlington County who have lived in
apartments have been the targets Of
self-serving or misinformed persons
who have charged that such renters
do not carry their fair share of the
costs of local government. AS resi-
dent Of one of Arlington's largest apart
ment developments, am, therefore, par
ticularly happy to observe that the CO.
ordinating council for the Arlington
school bond campaign has released fig
ures which reveal that the apartment
jewellers of the community are paying
at least their share Of the costs Of the
school program.
The councils figures show that the
average real-estate tax paid by each of
the occupants of 6.494 apartments was
$78. If this figure is extended to all
apartments of the county, it becames
clear that apartment residents are pay
ing at least one-fourth of the total
real-estate taxes in Arlington. Since
only one-fourth Of the school-age chill
dren of the county live in apartments.
the claims that citizens who rent their
housing instead OF owning homes are
not paying their way are proved false.
I am delighted to see that at last
the real facts are being brought to light
and that the basis is being laid for
harmonious cooperation by all citizens
Of Arlington in the effort to make the
county the sort Of place in which they
would like to live and raise their
families

cepts of what Christianity
teaches.
Mr.. Bernert, who is now serv-
ing as executive secretary to the
state deputy, said that what the
American people lack most of all
was the foresight to see what a
Communistic world would sub
ject them to. The loss of their
many sacred privileged freedoms
is apparent if Communism is per-
mitted to envelope the civilized
world.
In his concluding remarks, Mr..
Bernert urgently requested the
Christian world not to neglect or
foreSake the power of prayer as
a means to check the progress of
the menacing scourge of Com
muniSm.
The program opened with the
address of welcome by Grand
Knight Joe Giallombardo. He
spoke enthusiastically on the pro-
gress made by Father Kleuber
council during the past 25 years.
In his concluding remarks he re-
quested the young men, who
would be the stalwarts of the or
ganization, to carry on with the
same zeal and sincerity compar-
able to those who labored in the
organization during its first rs
years of existence.
Toastmaster Harry Yontz, for
mer grand knight Of Father
Kleuber council, capably engi-
neered the program onto the hu-
morous side by calling on the
Rt. Rev. Monsignor Gilbert Meh-
ler, of Woodsfield, to say a few
words in behalf of the attending
clergy. BY his unprepared COM
ments, he immensely delighted
the entire assembled group.
Members of the clergy attend
ing the silver jubilee included
Monsignor Mehler, Very Rev. B.
J. Mates of Fulda, Rev. S. J. Pc
kalla of Caldwell, who offered
the invocation, and Rev. A. G.
Nickel of Harriettsville.
Presentation of Is year pins to
charter members and other men,
bers was made by District De-
putty Joseph Cory, of Marietta.
Mr.. Cory spoke only briefly of
his affiliations with Father Kleu-
Der council.
The twenty fifth anniversary
dinner was attended by one hun
dred and ten Knights of Colum-
bus and their wives and guests.
The banquet hall was appro-
priately decorated with white
and blue Streamers, Knights of
Columbus colors. The tables were
arranged with small mint cups,
covered and cleverly marked
"25th" in silver. Programs for
the event were also printed in
silver.
Ladies of the Altar & Rosary
society of st. Mary's church, of
Fulda, served the dinner.
Piano music during the dinner
hour was presented by Miss Gym
thia Merry, of Caldwell.
