At the opposite, and good. ex-

DR.. MagnuSon snorts at some
of the things said by impassioned
House members during the Mon

to prevent men who have fought
for us and who were injured from

There is no such veteran

world The only exception is when
he insists on going to a specific
hospital and refuses to let us send
him where there is space avail

There is a 26.0O0-veteran wait

Magnuson admits, but all are vet
Grams whose illness is in no way
traceable to their service.
Under old law, the VA may give
notification for non-service-con-
nected disability, provided there
is space available" The records
show that, ever since Congress
passed the law, it has poured out
money to make space available
and, of the 99,311 veterans actu-
ally hospitalized as of last Febru-

The angry medical boss of the
Veterans Administration wishes
that more Congressman, Chamber
Of Commerce heads, and Amer
ican Legion commanders knew
what a hospital is.
DR.. Paul B. Magnuson says that,
if they did, he would not be asked
to seek doctors to work in Dublin,
Ga. and Battle Creek. Mich, and
there would not be talk of giving
him 10000 more veteran beds that
he could not operate, if he had
them.
In blunt interview, the one
time Northwestern University sur
gerry head, now VA medical chief,
had his say about pouring tax
payers money down drains under
the guise of helping veterans. I"
Specifically, he slapped the elec-
tion-year alacrity with which the
House Monday pushed through
Representative Rankin's $237 mil
lion bill to reinstate the 10000
beds pruned by President Truman
from the VA hospital-construc-
ton program.
II couldn't use $4,000 more beds
| if they gave them to me tomor-
row." DR.. Magnuson protested.
Some folks have the idea that all
you do is spend $4,000 to provide
one hospital bed and everything
is fine. They forget that. after
the buildings are open. it takes
$12 day per patient to fill the
bed: that would be $4,000 a day.
or $40 million a year for 10000
BEDS"
And then, says the doctor, there
is the matter of hiring doctors,
nurses and technicians.
do they want 10000 boarding
house beds, or hospitals?" he asks.
IF they want hospitals, it might
be we'll to remember that it takes
112 people in a hospital to take
care of each patient, year in and
year out. We have nearly 1000 Of
our present beds empty for lack
of staff"
That gets the doctor around to
Dublin. Battle Creek and other
small communities where, he says,

Dublin, in the home district of
Chairman Vinson of the Armed

Macon, the nearest city, and pre-
sented after the war to the VA.
I'VE authorize use of 500 of the
beds" DR.. Magnuson says. We've
never been able to get enough staff
to open more than 300. Dublin

hension on the part Of the reader that
here was man who had so many ideas
in his wonderful head that his words
became packed, sometimes diff1cult to
read. at least difficult for the sloppy
reader.
There are cordons Of sloppy readers,
and no writer Of any degree Of ability

have their place.
Best and most blessed readers; how

ness, who not only hold book, and not

These are the gist Of writing and
reading. and happy is he, as writer. who
appeals to such readers.
Henry James was such q writer, and
he had such readers.
Marvel Of marvelS, he has more OF
them today than ever. The neither sur

readers around the world look up to him
in Elysium.
They follow him, sometimes. with ar

This and That

Henry James, great American writer
greatly neglected until recently, wrote
prophetic words for all of us when he
said, in letter to Robert Louis Steven
son, on the other side of the world:
II follow you with an aching wing
an inadequate geography and an in
eradicable hope"
Isn't that life? -
Do we not all follow our friends with
an aching wing, an extremely made
quate geography and, gloriously, with
an ineradicable hope?
Too soon the kind faces in our I7es
leave us forever. They have gone where
we cannot follow. Our geography is, in
deed, inadequate. But thanks be, we
have an ineradicable hope, the conSola-
ton of religion. the promise Of our liv-
ing faith.
Those who merely go around the
world are easier on us.
As James said to Stevenson, their
voices come from far away, from the
other side of the globe, while vaguely
know that you are crawling like fly on
the neither surface Of my chair"
Who. after reading that, can think
Of Hesry James as hard to read?
Never was there greater slander
against q marvellous writer.
It Is true his works, whether novel or
essayA are not for every one. 4

Juvenile Court

The one conclusion that can safely be drawn
from the Juvenile Court controversy is that the
secrecy surrounding the activities Of that tribunal
has its disadvantages
1t is clearly desirable to protect the minors
brought into Juvenile Court from adverse pub
licity. But it is quite a different matter when
the secrecy intended to shield children operates
to hide the facts bearing on the competence of
the court itself
Despite denialS, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the recent designations of two members
of the court staff resulted in large part from
dissatisfaction with the way the court has func7
toned under Judge Edith H. Cockrill. The COM
plant is that she has run the court more as
criminal tribunal than as a medium for the
reform of youngsters who have gotten into
trouble
Obviously this is matter in which the COM
munity, which supports the court, has very
real interest But it has not been possible to
get at the facts, and The Star does not know
whether the complaint against Judge Cockril
Is justified If she has been more severe than
her predecessors in dealing with juveniles, it
does not necessarily follow that she has been
wrong in taking that course. But there ought
to be some way of appraising the correctness of
Judge Cockrills policies. Perhaps the Juvenile
Court Advisory Committee, which has taken an
interest in this matter, can determine who is
right and who is wrong.

He had a style all his own. At its

Such is the magic Of words. Those

By J. B. Zotmon

nN A summer night Is years ago.
" about Is Montgomery County resi-
dents met in Bethesda home to discuss
a common problem.
They were concerned over plan by
out-of-t town business interests to build
a belt" railroad line around the nearby
Maryland countys suburban area, to
serve a string of proposed industrial
plants. The group decided that the best
method Of opposing the plan would be
to form a federation of all civic organi-
cations in the area affected, so that every
one would be acquainted with the prob
lem and could present united protest.
Among those attending the meeting
were the late w. w. Bride, District
corporation counsel; the late Oliver
Owen Kuhn, managing editor of The
Star; William B. Horne, o. M. Kile and
Emory H. Bogley.
The idea took shape at subsequent
meetings, during which it was agreed to
include all county civic organizations in
the proposed federation. After several
sessions the group adopted constitu-
ton and bylaws and elected Mr.. Kuhn
as the first president of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation.
At that time the federation consisted
of delegates from is local citizens
groups. Today, as it prepares to cele-
brate its 25th birthday, it represents ap-
proximately So organizations. Herbert N.
Eaton of Chevy Chase is the present
president.
The birthday anniversary will be OBJ
served at a banquet on June 10 at the
Kenwood Country Club. Invited guests
include the County Council and the
county's delegation to the General As
sembly.
The fight against the "belt" line had
a happy ending, when Congress refused
to permit sponsors of the proposed rail-
road to build bridge across the Potomac
to Alexandria. Since then, the fedora
ton has been in the front line of nearly
every battle for civic improvement.
Perhaps its outstanding achievement
has been it's successful sponsorship of
a survey of the county government. The
survey. made about 10 years ago by the
Evening star., 1950-06-03

Brookings Institution, led to establish
ment of the county'S present charter
government.
1t was in the spring of 1888 that Allen
II. Gardner, chairman of subcommittee
of the federation's legislation and legal
action committee, brought in report
on the need for undermining the county
government, recommending the survey.
Although the county commissioners
denied the request, the federation per-
sisted to such an extent that the ques-
ton became an issue in the election cam
paign that fall.
After the election. new Board of
County Commissioners approved the
proposal. The Brookings Institution re-
leased it's report two years later. The
federation then set up special COM
mittee, again headed by Mr.. Gardner,
to study the report, and it sponsored
countrywide conference of all organiza
tions interested in the matter.
In 1912, the federation approved
resolution by the committee calling for

Toy Weapons

Why will parents provide toy guns for

he found his fathers loaded revolver

of similar instances.
Several times some child has pointed
it's toy pistol at me, pulled the trigger
and said "Bang!" I don't like it-most
emphatically resent it.
Recently, while walking along the
street saw two lads playing duel They
stood perhaps Is feet apart, and with
toy pistols were firing point-blank at
each other. Farther on, lad with a
squirt-gun was squirting fluid on win
dows.
Later I found that he had, with his
gun, drenched the side of my dark coat
with fluid that dried white, and could
not be brushed off. Then tried clean
ing fluid, but it had no effect.
Congress should enact law prohibit

weapons. That, believe, would check

Churchmen and Church Lows

Obviously, after the official action of
a portion of the Episcopal Church. it
would be useless to ask all Christian folk
to come to the aid of Bishop Dun, 50
one can just say all sane people should
voice their opinions. 1t is necessary this
be done so the world will realize, per-
haps, that Christianity means more to
some people than some silly, petty re-
strictions or laws conceived in the mind
of one or more men.
Tt is incredible that Bishop Dun should
be charged with offending some Of the
stuffed shirts in his church. OF course.
the Bishop needs no defense; he Is an
outstanding Christian gentleman, hum
BILE in his religion, walking daily in the
footsteps of the Christ he talks about.
Should an ecclesiastical law actually
exist in any church, which forbids Chris
tians meeting together, observing COM
munion together, 1t should be ignored.
One wonders what Jesus would have
done under similar circumstances? Are
we not making ourselves ridiculous in
the eyes of the world?

Stuort's Skater

"The Skater" which the National Gallery
recently acquired, is a picture possessed of quail
ties which are unique. Nothing else painted by
Gilbert Stuart is so distinctive in telling
value. The more the work is studied the more
it intrigues the Imagination of the beholder.
Why was 1t painted? Who was the "W. Grant,
Esquire, of Congalton" which it represents?
What mutually of interest existed between him
and the man who made him immortal in great
work of art? Were they close friends, fellow
enthusiasts in winter sport? How did they meet?
What prompted this relatively unconventional
experiment in portraiture?
For some of these questions answers readily
are available But even when we are told that
Mr.. Grant was q well-known figure in London
society in the late eighteenth century and that
his descendants still flourish in Virginia. we still
are curious about him. How did 1t happen that
he skated at all? Not very many of his con-
temporaries did. What other activities are asso-
ciated with his name? Was he eminent in busi-.
ness or politics, in the sciences public affairs?
Obviously he was a person Of consequence. He
has the expression, the bearing, the manner Of
a distinguished character. 1t seems plain also
that he was q skilled performer on the ice. He
swings into the canvas with an easy, comfortable
grace which no amateur could boast in similar
perfection.
stronge circumstance is that Stuart appar-
emily forgot" to sign the picture. The rec
ords Of the Royal Academy show that it was
exhibited in 1882 and attracted considerable
notice, as well it might in any display at shy
