Lee Memorial Window

The Virginia Division. United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. In its recent
meeting at Norfolk, has overwhelmingly
approved the National Cathedral's offer
of memorial site to General Lee; thus.
it would seem, making the memorial al
most certainty. though the national
organization will vote finally upon the
question at it's forthcoming general con-
vention in Richmond.
It may seem more than little strange
that the vote in the Virginia Division
was not unanimous. The truly national
character of the Cathedral probably has
not been fully understood in the Socie-
tvs membership. That the Cathedral is
not merely another church building
but is, rather, peoples shrine and a
magnificent and timeless architectural
and artistic record of historic events and
of the personalities who have made
American history has not been clear to
all Americans in every part OF the
country. That is but natural, seeing that
America, young country. has not here
tofore had such shrines as Englands

DereIict Juries

From time to time juries in Washington have
returned verdicts that bear little or no relation
to the evidence in the case But nothing that
comes to memory here can approach n1iscar-
riage of justice that has been reported by the
Associated Press from Mount Clemens, Michigan.
"A jury there has convicted Walter NJ Moth,
21 of manslaughter, which means that he will
serve maximum of perhaps 10 years in prison.
Yet Moth was as clearly guilty of frst-degree
murder as it is possible for a man to be.
MIR. and Mrs. Schaaf, parents of four
children, were out riding. Moth stopped their
car. When the husband got out, Moth shot and
killed him. Then he raped the wife. He didn't
deny either offense His story was that he
had been drinking beer, and that while he
remembered hearing two shots, he didn't recall
firing them.
Moth was tried, of course for first-degree
murder. After he had been found guilty of
manslaughter, the least serious offenSe of which
he could have been convicted, the jury foreman
said: "We didn't think he went to the scene
to kill"
Fortunately, juries are not often as derelict
in their duty as this one was. If they were,
the crimes of murder and rape would soon be
reduced to the level of juvepilish misdemeanors.

Something Lost

That something has been lost would occur
to anyone who heard David c. Mearns of the
Library of Congress tell the story of the Lincoln
papers at the meeting of the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion.
Mr. Mearns quoted from the deed of gift
which Robert T. Lincoln signed on January 49,
1928, transferring the papers to the Library of
Congress to be kept sealed until 81 years after
his DEATH "This condition" the Presidents son
wrote, 'is imposed by me because said papers
contain many references of private nature to
the immediate ancestors of persons now living"
The papers had been used by Nicolay and
Hay for their authorized biography which ap-
peared in the 9Os.
While an adnirer of the strong qualities of
Robert Lincoln's character, Mr.. Mearns like every
other historian and Lincoln fan, feels that the
son leaned over backward in this.
His sense of propriety" said Mr. Mearns,
"was as royal as Victoria's and as humorless."
But the way 1t contrasts with some RECEIPT

Mr.. Ching's New Job

President Truman made a wise choice in
selecting Cyrus S. Ching as chairman of the
new Wage Sterilization Board. Whether Mr..
Ching acted with equal wisdom in accepting
remains to be seen. If the administration finds
1t necessary to check imitation by compulson,
the wage-control job could become one of the
hottest spots in town.
Friends say that Mr. Ching did not want
the new post. He felt he could make the great
est contribution to Government in these uncer-
tain times by continuing as mediation director
and helping settle the big labor disputes that
almost surely will develop But being the loyal
public servant that he is, Mr.. Ching finally bowed
to the Presidents insistence
If it proves necessary to clamp controls on
prices and wages, the wage end, at least, will
be in good hands. 1t may be that Mr.. Ching
is not, as he says, pencil and paper pusher"
But he is one of the wisest, most competent men
to enter Government service in a long time
Despite his 73 years, Mr.. Ching is young man
in many respects. He has proven that he can
take 1t physically And he has rare mental
qualities. His thinking has the resiiency of
youth tempered by wisdom that can be gained
only through years of dealing with men and
human problems.
Before taking over the mediation job in 1947,
Mr.. Ching had distinguished career with in
duStry He was in charge of industrial and
personnel relations for the United States Rubber
Company. In handling the biggest labor disputes
and strikes, Mr.. Ching demonstrated an even
handedness that has gained the respect of both
labor and employers
Perhaps the greatest tribute that could be
paid Mr.. Ching is that the unions as we'll as
management circles have reacted favorably to
his appointment as Wage Board chairman That
must be something of record for a man who
has been on the management side most of his
life.

CeIebruI PuIsy

Your recent editorial on Cerebral Palsy
figures was most educational and heart
rending. If more civic minded persons.
organizations and philanthropists could
be made familiar with this particular dis
ease, it would be a work of mercy most
gratifying to both the donors and the
ones receiving the assistance.
However, statistics are cold, and un-
fortunately pass over some heads like a
hairnet-my own included. What our
cause needs is sharply drawn, clear
cut picture of the causes, as far as they
are known, the effects, and the enormous
needs connected with the rehabilitation
and recovery of those afflicted.
The American people are known for
their warm, unselfish natures when it
comes to rallying around worthy cause.
If they. as individuals, could spend a day
or few hours with these children, and
feel just twinge of the pain that parents
and dear ones never cease to feel. our
battle would be half won. How to
educate the public Is a tremendous but
vitality important problem.
The expense connected with treat
ment is. as you state, devastating to
most. 1t consists of long, drawn-out
program Wll6TG SllSIlt lulQIOVclIlCAb
over period of months gives reason to
cheer and turn handsprings. Patience
is its own reward where these children
are concerned. Perhaps some would
ask: Is it worth it? If these skeptics
could be made aware of the keen. in
telligent minds hidden under those un-
cooperative little bodies, they would
say in the next breath that it means far
more than digging for gold in rich
strike, and is infinitely more satisfying
and exciting.
When an instructor or therapist sue
ceeds, after many, many trials. in getting
a youngster to take faltering step or
utter shaky hello, it's like Christmas
all over again. They feel personal
JOY, because they know these children
and love them as any one would who
understood.
I have been fortunate in getting to
know many of the children handicapped
in various degrees, my son included.
1 love them ALL love their courage,
their stubborness and unwillingness to
accept defeat. have learned from them
a lesson in intestinal fortitude and con-
slider 1t privilege to be associated with
them.

Alas, Poor Derby ...

You were not eulogistic enough In your
otherwise able editorial on the demise
of the derby hat.
Anyone could tell that the thing was
well on its way out when, in place OF
a nice, close, tightfitting cork, they began
hanging the derby over the bell end OF
the trombone.
Can you wipe dust of slouch hat
with the sleeve of your coat? No. Can
you tip a slouch hat to the ladies? No.
Can you carry cigars, stogies. the mail,
under a slouch hat? No. Can you sit
down with a slouch hat between your
knees? You can not. And for bowling
along in merry gust Of wind. I'll bet
on the derby any day.
Pardon a briny trickle or, two for our
late departed, dear old stiff cady. Stove

Spires Of the Spirit
Where Is the B|ot3

A poet was gazing at an opulent world,
deluged with the wonder and Splendor
of summer gardens and harveStS, raviSh-
ing in it's beauty under the canopy, of
blending blue, trimmed by the golden
haze of far horizons. Nevertheless, with
his seeing eyes Robert Browning sensed
that something was radically wrong.
With all its radiancy the world was "yet
blank all the same" with summer
redundant, blueness abundant" His
pertinent question growing out of a
poignant feeling of inadequacy was:
Wanting is what-where Is the blot?"
Who in his right mind could question
the assertion that as rockets and jet
planes pilot the way into the unknown
second half of the Goth century a hor-
rible, ugly shaped blot is spilling its inky
shadows across all that is promising,
fair and of good report? It is an en-
veloping hlackness which has sent into
almost total eclipse the roseate hopes of
unified world of brotherhood To-day
men shrink back in terror as the blot
looks strangely like colossal cloud
muShrooming to the sky But the por-
tent of that dread apparition is not
cause, it is an effect. The A-bomb is

trouble is in the hearts of men who hold
in their hands the secret of the split

Some one casually asked Will Rogers,

dunno'-I guess it's people" Yes, it is
as simple as that and as complex as
that; it's not power, it's people. There
is the blot.
We think that by legislative magic we
can arrange the externals, make the
world good without having to be good.
What has goodness to do with it-or
even, God? What gets things done is
political action! Ali There Is the blot.

VKginio's Negro Doctors

1t is regrettable that move to admit Negro
doctors to the Medical Society of Virginia was
rejected by the societys house of delegates during
its recent convention at Roanoke There is en-
couragement, however, in the fact that the
proposal to amend the socetys constitution fell
only five votes short of the required two-thirds
majority.
The delegates did approve, and approve
unanimously! a resolution to permit Negro
physicians to attend scientific sessions held in
places where mixed racial groups are permitted
This will be helpful to the Negro DOCTORS and
1t suggests that the adverse vote on membership
is not to be attributed merely to racial prejudice.
More than this is needed, however There
are definite advantages to membership in pro-
fessonal societies. and in Virginia, as elsewhere,
the Negro physician not only is entitled to have,
but should have, the benefit of these advantages.
The ratio of Negroes to Negro doctors in Virginia
is something like 5000 to one Not all Negroes,
of course, are attended by Negro physicians.
But where the latter available they generally
find their clientele among members of their own
race. This being so it certainly is to the advan
tage of the whole community that the Negro
doctors be competent as unrestricted training
and opportunity will permit
The new president of the society, Dr. c.
Lydon Harrell of Norfolk, urged that membership
in the society be opened to Negroes, and he also
called for their admission to the local medical
societies, where there is no constitutional bar to
the elimination of segregation at professional
level where 1t cannot be defended or justified.
The sooner 1t goes the better.

Stand by the President!

Like most business offices. mine sub
scribes to couple of "conf1dentlal' tip
sheets from Washington that are sup
posed to warn us what the Government
proposes to do.
These warnings have been increasingly
alarming We are told that the draft
of manpower, the financial burdens on
the economy and the Stalin-like con-
trolls over every activity and department.
of our daily lives are to be far more
costly and coercive than the public now
suspects; so much so that the President
is afraid to break the news to us all at
once Our minds must be gradually and
Systematically conditioner; the aus
terity is to be imposed in small but in
creasing doses. Until we wake up to
find ourselves completely hog-tied and
bleeding at the pores. with no clear idea
as to how it all happened.
An important part of this program to
capture our lives and freedoms will be
engineered by the Governments bat
talions of press agents and subservient
columnists. We shall be told that in
critical times like these we must not
ask questions or indulge in criticism. We
must forgo partisanship (meaning that
the "outs" must never play politics.
though the 'ins," under the fair name Of
patriotism, go right along doing 500. We
must trust our leaders; We must stand
by the President" ..
To this dangerous and totally un-
American doctrine want to register
vigorous objection.
1t is now imperative that every act OF
the administration, every statement is
sued, every demand for additional men
or money. should be scrutinized even
more sharply than in normal times. For
not only our dollars are involved but
the blood of tens of thousands Of Amer
ican boys. .'
We are fighting two-front war. Our
enemies are totaltarianism abroad and
the creeping-now leaping-growth OF
totalitarianism at home. Let us not, IN
our single-minded determination to win
abroad, allow ourselves to lose out at
home. .
