A DMIRAL FORREST P. SHERMAN.
\ whose 20 months in the Mediter-
ranean qualified him as an expert in the
cold war, shows signs of employing SINH
lar tactics in the Far East to back up
administration attempts to bolster oppo-
sition to Communist inroads.
For the admiral, now Chief of Naval
Operations, knows what an impression
1t makes on the natives-and the Com
munsts-simply to put 80 planes in the
air at once, or to anchor Meet units at
strategic ports.
Greeks high in the mountain areas
used to talk about those American car
rier planes from Admiral Sherman's
Sixth Fleet, though they never saw them.
These cold-war maneuvers are given
much credit for stiffening opposition to
Red efforts in Greece, Italy, Trieste and
the Middle Eastern countries.
Now the Seventh Fleet in the Far
Pacific has begun to "show the flag" and
make good will visits.
Under command OF Vice Admiral Rus
sell S. Berkey, who shortly will be
detached to take new and important
post as chief of information here,
Seventh Fleet units have just completed
visit to Saigon, capital of the French
backed government of Indo-China, or
Wet Nam.
The fleet units rendered honors to
the chief of state. Bao Dai, former EN-
peror of AMMAN, one of the protectorates
included in Wet Nam. Planes from the
27.000-ton carrier Boxer made forma-
ton flights over Saigon and surround
ing territory. And two destroyers went
up the Saigon River and anchored
alongside the city docks.
Such maneuvers are not without dan
ger, both from the possibility of Red
Navy submarines from the base at Vlad-
ivostok and from Communist forces
within the countries visited. Anti-Viet
Nam forces plunked a couple of mortar
shells into Saigon while our destroyers
were tied up there, and staged riot in
which three natives were killed and 80
injured.

the lines of the cold war are tightly

Spinach is a member of the Cheno-
podium family. which has given the
world several more or less successful
edible leaves.
None has made it's way in the world
as has that determined plant, spinach.
It really has gone to town. literally.
Country people never got embroiled with
spinach. They stuck to dandelions and
sour dock and beet tops, and had the
best OF it, we think.
Spinach has swept the civilized world
until those who despise it's appearance
and taste eat it as often as they dare.
If you are hero, you will eat it once
a day, but even then you will be silly,
because scientists tell us that not even a
heros digestive tract can get the iron out
of it. Man is the only animal that eats
spinach. The rest of them have too
much sense.
Any self respecting rabbit would in
finitely prefer carrots.
Worms rather like it, but who would
want to be worm?

He will store spinach, and have some

Womon's Tears

Despite a belief to the contrary, young
women apparently cannot shed 1000 times as
many tears as young men. At any rate, accord
ing to "The Archives of Ophthalmology,' two
Mayo Clinic doctors have conducted an expert
ment indicating that all such figures are grossly
exaggerated and that actually the lachryma
production rate of the female eye is not quite
twice that of the male.
What the doctors have not disputed, how
ever, is the fact that the so-called weaker sex
is infinitely superior when it comes to shedding
tears at will-at strategic moments-whenever
she thinks they will emphasize some point she
is making or help her to get what she wants,
whether a new hat or merely her own way.
That is one of her unique powers. A man just
does not have it. AS Byron has written:

Americans Debt to Haiti

Those who have observed the tremen-
dous progress Of Haiti in the past few
years cannot help but be much i'm
pressed by the editorial in The Star on
the Caribbean investigation. wherein you
state that "only Haiti emerges with =
clean bill OF health"
Perhaps we Americans do not realize
how much the United States owes to
Haiti. Because of the opposition to Ma
poleon by Toussaint LOuverture 1t was
possible for Livingston to conclude the
Louisiana Purchase. More than eight
hundred Haitians served at Savannah
and Yorktown. In the war between the
States and successive wars, Haitian bases
provided not only refuge for our ships
but protection for the Windward Passage,
the gateway to the Panama Canal.
This country which has struggled up
from freedom is the second Oldest re-
public in our hemisphere, and it is such
editorials as that which appeared in The
Star which gives hope and encourage
ment to those who watch the continuing
efforts of brave and courageous people.

PLANNING for Area Joint Action

General Grant is performing real service
to the Washington of the future by continuing
to arouse public interest in his proposal for
Metropolitan Area public works authority. The
former chairman of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission is looking ahead to
the time when the Nations Capital will extend
physically, if not legally, many miles beyond the
borders of the District of Columbia. The city
long since has spilled over into Maryland and
Virginia and is steadily pushing outward. AS it's
growth continues the bridge, highway, airport
and other public service problems of the entire
area will become more and more the mutual
concern of the various Jurisdictions involved.
That is bound to mean not only joint planning
of the type now in force, but joint financing,
Joint construction and joint supervision of cer-
tain public works.
We are approaching the situation which led
New York and New Jersey to create the Port OF
New York Authority. 1t was to the common
advantage of these adjoining States to band to-
gether for construction of bridges tunnels, high
ways and airports serving the people of both
Jurisdictions. And eventually it will be mutually
beneficial for the Federal Government, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia to form
q joint authority to serve the common interests
of the people of the Metropolitan Area. Such an
authority, established by acts of Congress and OF
VIC o1dtC CD, Woulo iioFC poWCi W Wi
row funds, to let contracts and generally to
administer public projects which are jointly the
responsibility of several political areas
This is proper matter for study now, before
interjursdictional problems become more acute
and more troublesome than they are today.
General Grants proposal should be given careful
study by the Interstate commission of inquiry
proposed under the pending Sasscer bill. Con-
gress can do its part by giving this important
measure fair breeze. The Sasscer bill is the
first step toward integrated Metropolitan Area
action of the future.

Catholic Schools

Mr. LchtenStein'S recent letter in The
Star was not clear, whether by intent or
inability, in fairly stating the problem
of public support" for Catholic schools.
First, Catholics do not want so-called
public financial support" for parochial
schools.
Secondly Catholic parents do want
their children to receive the benefits of
the so-called social services, such as bus
rides and non-religious text books. II
such items are provided public school
children. Catholic children are included
in the Governments hot-lunch program.
so why not follow the same logic in other
similar programs?
This is the Catholic attitude: Educa-
ton without religion is incomplete; but
public schools are forbidden to teach re-
ligion; therefore a public school educa-
ton is incomplete. Hence, Catholics
provide their own schools to integrate
religion with the same subjects taught
in public schools This, of course, means
a financial sacrifice, but many Catholics
willingly make it so that their children
may have the whole truth about life.
w. F. Clarke.
No Catholic child has ever been denied
admittance to our public schools. They
have always had and always will have
the same rights to attend as children OF
any religious sect. If Catholic parents
do not want their children to use our
public schools. libraries, public gardens
or sidewalks, that is their decision and
they are privileged to provide for them
selves. However, all these things are
provided for their use as for all other
religious denominations.
OF the thousands of private schools
conducted by various denominations.
none have asked special public assist
ance but the Catholics. And If one sect
gets it, of course all OF them must.

Professor Loski

Harold j. Laski was a controversial figure
both in the United Kingdom and this country
Although key member of the British Labor
Party for more than decade Che was its chair
man when it came to power in 1945) he never
held an elective Office. His mind-a brilliant one
in many respects-was fundamentally profess
serial. He was not practical politician; his
personality did not appeal to the electorate; yet
there can be no doubt that he exercised deep
influence in winning Britons over to the socialist
experiment about which they now seem highly
doubtful.
Many Amercans-now that he is dead-will
remember Professor Laski chiefly as the cele-
brated lecturer of the London School of Eco
nomics and as an author whose books were
always provocative, if not always sound or sensi-
BILE. Some will remember him, too as the braSh
and annoying young man who gave up teaching
at Harvard in 1920 after having left himself
wide open to lot of criticism for supporting
the Boston police strike. On most of his later
visits to the United States, he usually said some
thing that many people did not like, and in his
own country his decidedly left-wng views we're
less than popular, even among the Laborites.
Indeed, occasionally, they we're either ridiculous
or extreme enough to embarrass and infuriate
Prime Minister Attlee.
Nevertheless, although he became relatively
obscure figure in the British Labor Party during
the past few years, Professor Laski undoubtedly
played an important role in shaping the political
thought of many of his countrymen, and also
of many Americans. He was not a Communist
Of the Soviet brand but he was a Marxist, and
he was pretty doctrinaire about it. That was
one of his basic flaws, and it detracted a good
deal from his considerable mental brilliance,
the simple fact being that his dogmatc views
often failed to square with obvious realities.

suit. making friends with the Pope. Lord
Louis Mountbatten and assorted others.
One Of the problems which Admiral
Sherman faced in the Mediterranean.
and which the Seventh Fleet faces In
the Far East, was to see that newly ar
rived sailors did not ruin the fleets
reputation while ashore. The job OF
showing the flag, whether in the trou-
bled Middle East or in the Far Pacific,
calls for no mere pleasure cruise.
In seven-page public relations man
ual Admiral Sherman said: TN the
Sixth Fleet it is necessary that public
relations objectives include the creation
of good will In the countries which our
ships visit or which are affected by our
operations. 1t is fundamental that we
scrupulously avoid creating embarrass-
ment to friendly governments"
The activities Of our far Pacific naval
forces In showing the hag-and the
building up of the Seventh Fleet-also
serve to point up another development
which has caused stir in the Pentagon.
This is the Soviet announcement about
separating the Red navy from the rest
of Russia's armed forces. which Is taken
to show the navy's Importance in Krem-
lin planning.
And Admiral Ivan 3. Yumashev is
said to have sat in on the conferences
with Mao Tse-tung Of Red China, last
ing from December to February, which
is taken as further indication that the
East is where the navy is important to
the Russians.
The Russians, in short, are expected
to exert their expanding naval pressure
in Far Eastern waters-seeking Oriental
warm-water ports.
Admiral Sherman has had his eye on
the Orient ever since he became Chief of
Naval Operations in the tumult that
followed the custer Of Admiral Denfeld
last fall. When he arrived on the scene
there was no aircraft carrier in the
Western Pacific, and there was a short
age of cruisers and destroyers. Bases
we're being closed.
Now the Seventh Fleet is composed of
one carrier, one heavy cruiser and six
destroyers. In addition, the Navy has
what is termed Naval Forces Far East
consisting of heavy cruiser and four
destroyers-based at Yokosuka, Japan.
The Navy operates two bases in Japan.

@. Please give reasons for the adage
that "As the days begin to lengthen. the
cold begins to strengthen. H. L. F..
A. The Weather Bureau says that the
adage "As the days begin to lengthen.
the cold begins to strengthen" is in effect
true saying. Winter days begin to
lengthen after December 81. but the
coolest temperatures during the winter
months are usually encountered in JAM
days. The "lengthening" of the days i'm
mediately after December 81 is scarcely
noticeable, since it is only matter Of
minutes for each day. BY the time the
days are noticeably longer. around the
end of February. the temperatures begin
to increase.
@. Since science says that the atom
is electrically neutral, what is the CO.
hesive force that holds it together?-J. B.
A. The National Bureau OF Standards
says that the central core. i.e., the nu-
cleus of the atom, is positively charged.
About this nucleus, but at relatively large
distances on the scale in which such
phenomena are measured, the "electronic
cloud oscillates. Since electrons are
negatively charged particles, they are
attracted by the positive charge Of the
nucleus. This attraction is the Coulomb
Force which binds the electrons within
the atom to the nucleus. The number
of electrons in a particular atom is
always such that the total negative
charge exactly equals the positive
charges of the nucleus. Thus, the
charged particles within the atom
exactly compensate each other and the
net effect is that the atom taken as .
whole Is electrically neutral. -
