Since there was apparently no

decisions in courts of other states,
and reviewing the statute, Judge
Driver concluded:
".. A restaurant open to

bequest Of $4,000 in bias"
money from Frederick F. Dumont

Public criticism of the original
acceptance led the schools board

would go to Catholics and Jews.

and of the distance we have yet
to go. The message should be a
call to the Congress and tothe
country to press on with a broad
program of social legislation to
improve our Democracy at home
while we work to attain lasting
peace, freedom and a better life
for all abroad. We have much
further way still to CO."
Pointing out that the Presidents
message was a challenging one,
Sen. Benton said it was indeed
inspiring to him as he entered the
Senate.
He declared that the message
made him realize that ''the Con-
gress has before it the problem
of improving the understanding be-
tween peoples both at home and
abroad. We cannot communicate
effectively with fellow Americans
in an atmosphere of hate and dis
eliminate. We cannot act effecti-
vely inthe world unless we are
strong and united at home. We
must not only enact the Presi-
dents civil rights program at
home but we must press for free

rights throughout the world as a
part Of our defense program.
"a healthy and expanding econo-
my is the basis of our strength.
Freedom of information and civil
rights are the foundation of our
unity" declared Sen. Benton.
While the two new Democatic
senators spoke out favorably for
the Presidents message, the new
Republican, running true to form,
declared that the speech was just
"some more Of the same thing"

Rights legislation took on two
more friends and possibly a third
in the u. S. Senate last Tuesday
when Vive President Alben w.
Barley swore in Sens. Herbert
H. Lehman d., N. w. William
Benton d., Conn.,, and Harry
Darby r., Kans.).
Soon after taking the oath of
office Sen. Lehman pledged his
support to civil rights legislation,
a broadened social security pro-
gram, an expanded housing pro-
gram, displaced persons legisla-
ton and other measures which
many come before the Senate for
the utilization of the powers of
the fedora! government to advance
the general welfare of the people.
While Sen. Benton could not
be reached, his administrative as
sistent declared that the Connec-
ticut Democrat was unequivocally
behind the pending civil right leg
islation.
The new Kansas senator, Harry
Darby, declared that he had al
ways been a friend to Negro
ways b "a friend to Negro
people and would look with favor
on any piece of legislation whcih
would benefit minorities. He
would be minorities. He
would make no commitments on
civil rights, social security, federal
aid to education or any specific
piece of legislation.
He needed more time to study
pending measures, he declared.
H wishes to stay in good faith
with the American people, he
said, therefore, he would not like
to commit himself on any pend
ing bills until he had had the op-
portunity to study them thorough

Mr.. Lehman told the press last
Tuesday that he would be guided
in his votes and actions in the
Senate by the pledges he made
tothe people of New York in the
recent campaign.
Making it perfectly clear that
he would represent no special
group or special interest, the for
mer New York governor emphasi-
zed the fact that, although he
had no pet legislative hobby. he
would spare no effort in carrying
out the pledges which he had al
ready made.
After the President had made
his State of the Union speech to
Congress on Wednesday, Sen. Leh:

the message an excellent one.

cool toward proposals that ramp be built to
funnel Key Bridge traffic onto the Spout Run
section of the highway at Rosslyn. 1t is not only
a matter of expense, officials explained, but one
of preserving the memorial status of the parkway
The fact remains, however, that Virginia and
Arlington County contributed half of the cost
of the parkway in the belief that the road was
to have utilitarian as we'll as scenic and senti-
mental aspects Furthermore, Virginia stands
ready to pay half the cost of ramp from Key
Bridge to the parkway. 1t may not be feasible
to add this structure at this time, but eventually
it should be built in fairness to the Virgnians
who helped to pay for the fine parkway.

Christian Lebanon

AS a native of Lebanon and rector Of
a Maronite church of Lebanese emf
grants in this country, I have been fol-
lowing Dorothy Thompson's recent COL
umns on the Middle East with particular
interest.
The one printed in your paper on
December 5, giving a general description
of the area. contains two sentences
which greatly disconnected me and many
Of my friends:
With the exception Of Turkey, Iran
and Israel" writes Miss Thompson. all
this part of the world is Arab. With the
exception of Israel all is Moslem."
For the more than a quarter Of
million Christian Lebanese emigrants in
the United States the more than half
million in Latin America. and the more
than a million Christians who form the
majority group within Lebanon itself.
Miss Thompsons sweeping denial Of
Lebanon's special Christian history, cul-
ture and tradition will come as very
strange news indeed.
During the last 1900 years, the tides
Of Islam swept away all other remnants
Of the great. old Christian communities
of the Middle East-the descendants of
the worlds first Christians.
But Lebanon, in its craggy mountains,
remained the only Christian refuge in
the entire region, and its people have
proudly retained their ancient creed and
ceremonials, their feeling of kinship with
the Christian world and their cultural
orientation towards the West rather than
towards Islam.
The great majority of Lebanese today
and 95 per cent of Lebanese emigrants
throughout the world (Who retain the
closest links to their country of origin
and in fact contribute very handsomely
to its economy are determined to retain
Lebanon's Christian character in the
future. What is more, they wish to
divert Lebanon's foreign policy from its
present unnatural alignment with the
Arab League, back to policy of con-
centration on complete Lebanese inde-
pendence, true to Lebanon's own inter-
ests and culture.

mo Sun Spots?

Neal J. Heines, director of the American
Association Of Variable Star Observers recently
announced that, at least for the moment there
were no spots on the sun His statement con-
corning the temporary perfection of the solar
disc was of particular significance to people in
the electrical communication industry. 1t
checked with their own realization that trans
Atlantic cables and short-wave radio mechan-
isms were functioning with greater accuracy
than usual.
But the suns spotlessness is a subject of in
terest to far larger number of scientific workers
than merely those specializing in the transmits
sion of messages by electricity. It also has phil
osophic connotatons. Spots on the sun indicate
activity there. spot, in effect, is a gaseous
storm One such hurricane, chronicled in March,
1947, had a length estimated at over 100000
miles. The indication that terrific out
burst of solar energy was taking place. A dis
turbance of that variety appears on the face of
the sun as black mark. 1t is dark because, as
compared with the surface of the disk, the storm
relatively is cold.
Should the number frequency and violence
of sun spots increase without interruption, there
might be reason to believe that the greater
light" which rules our day might be burning up
at a rate that soon would result in it's extinction
Perhaps something of that kind is occurring
Nobody knows for sure What really seems to be
going on is a gradual waxing and waning of
energy in the center of our planetary system
The sun has cycles of blazing and dmmng
Records kept by Swiss students of the orb since
1749 suggest that cycle of this character lasts
about 1112 years. The prevailing cycle began in
1914 Activity increased until 1949 Now de-
cline is in progress. That is why there were no
spots on Tuesday, December 10, 1850.
But if the decline should continue, say, for
a century, even people who ordinarily care moth
ing about what may happen SO million miles
distant would be excited about it. Not merely
radio reception and weather conditions are in
volved in sun spots. The normal course of hu-
man behavior" likewise is affected by changes on
the solar disk, according to Bernhard, Bennett
and Rice's New Handbook of the Heavens" So
further reports from Mr.. Henes will be awaited
with more than usual impatience. His associates
are in daily touch with the National Bureau Of
Standards.

Civil Defense Nucleus

Since we need so many troops Of fight-
ing age in other parts Of the earth, why
not utilize the services Of veterans OF
World War II to create the nucleus Of
hard hitting force of civilian defense
men and women who care to volunteer
also? There should be at all times
dependable force of civilians to main
tain our home security in any emergency.
For instance there are many of my
ex-teammateS who served in air-warn-
ing outfits, scattered about the country.
whose services could be very useful in
this day of such lethal air weapons.
Why doesn't Congress appoint a special
board to begin working at once on this
vital problem? Veteran.

Acheson

Secretary Acheson
On my own account, and for many
who may not take time to say what
they feel, want to thank you for your
gallant defense Of Secretary Acheson.
Not since the early days of our history
has such abuse been hurled at any pub
lie servant. I call it abuse, pure and
simple. because had there been any
grounds for impeachment these mas
tiers of "hate, malice and all unchari-
tableness' would have acted long ago.
instead of using the immunity of Con-
gress as bastion for their attack.

Henry HI. Clement.
Having had repeated opportunity to
observe the un-American and interna-
tionalistic attitude of The Star, I must
say that am not, in the least, surprised
to note that even while thousands of our
American boys are dying-stranded and
abandoned by Truman and Acheson-
you have the traitorouS insolence to be
preaching the Infamous Acheson doc
trine that millions of more Americans
should die to save Achesons Britain.
Nor am I surprised that your paper
published such monstrous un-American
tripe as the two so-called editorials, "A
Reckless Gesture" and Invitation to
Disaster" did not think, however, that
your brass would 60 to the extent of
publishing, as you did in your paper of
December "a. what you seemingly intend
as Representative sample of local opin-
ion; i.e., letter from former New Deal
lawyer, couple of anons., and three

tent of the ward-heeler politician from
Missouri, who is currently acting the
part of Acheson's stooge.
Why not reform, and think of America
and its people, and forget the raw-deal
politicians for while. After all, during
these past few years they have all but

I have confidence in Mr.. Acheson be-
cause his decisions show that he under
stands and abides by our Constitution
our form of Government as established
by the founding fathers. Thus he is a
true representative of this Nation. He
may not be able to avert world war, but
believe he is following the only course
man can take who truly understands
what Democracy means.
believe the same thing applies to Mr..
Truman.

The public never elected Mr.. Acheson;
and, barring a catastrophe, they'll never
elect his boss again.

Monpower Problem


Doris Fleeson, for whose commentaries
I have the greatest respect, made this
statement in a recent column: Mrs.
Rosenberg's problem is to tell Secretary
Marshall how to get million men under
arms with the least possible dislocation
to industry, in country where nearly
everybody is lucratively employed"
hope it would be more correct to say
that Mrs. Rosenberg's assignment is to
advise Secretary Marshall on how to
handle the manpower problems Of the
armed forces, which would include an
Interpretation of the relationship of
national manpower supply and armed
forces requirements. For If the Depart
ment of Defense attempts to make uni
lateral determinations and base requisi-
tions for military manpower on such
determinations, chaos will certainly pre-
vail in the manpower field.
The recommended approach to the
national manpower problem would be
any one Of several alternatives:
First, the National Security Resources
Board could arrive at a determination
Of manpower resources and needs OF the
armed forces, industry and local COM
munities. This is its responsibility under
the National Security Act of 1947.
Second, the Selective Service System
might arrive at a better determination
than the Department of Defense could
reasonably be expected to make, since
selective service is not a consumer or
user of manpower.
Third, a new overall manpower au-
thority could be established to make the
determination. and to direct the policy.
Such authority preferably should be
directly under the National Security
Council. the highest Federal co-ordinat-
ing group dealing with national security.
In the absence of all of the three al
ternatives, it is unlikely that the Depart
ment of Defense, the Department Of
Labor, the Selective Service System and
the National Security Resources Board.
in the executive branch, and the Armed
Services Committees of the Senate and
House of Representatives, in the legis-
lative branch. will be unable to develop
an orderly utilization of the Nations
manpower to meet the present and prob
able future emergencies.
The seriousness of the manpower prob
lem is so we'll recognized in Washington
that the naming of an overall authority
appears to be imminent. It is hoped that
this will be done at once, so that under
strong leadership each of the agencies
dealing with part of the Nations man
power can settle down to its peculiar
task. E.P. Unum.
