SO Cheer Up, My Lads, Bless Them All

at least as much as by the peacetime
soldier. II your memory is short. ask
the guy in Korea how many of them are
career Army men.
I have read the criticism of Mr.. Hay
don with the interest Of bystander
at an accident on the street, from my
position as veteran college student
After all, Mr.. Hayden was only count
ing money, not reciting war record.
Robert S. Farmer.
1t is a shame that there should be
controversy going on between the two
necessary elements of the Government
service. Personally, as one in the lower
ranks. I feel that, If both GS-11s and
Army captains would contribute more to
their chosen work and not be afraid to
take stand on so many issues, such as
the appalling waste, and demand that
this Government be conducted honestly
and that Government servants be chosen
for their moral factors as well as their
morale" factors, there would be an
equalization in the living conditions for
all.
While they are battling, God help the
poor laborer who gets along on a relief
check, or the poor private and his wife
VINO struggle along on today'S high cost
OF living, or the poor policeman whose
family has to be parsimonious to make
ends meet and keep him from sinking
into the graft that surrounds us!
For Honest Government.
X
| would like to put in my two-bits'
worth with regard to the Case of the
Army Captain and the GS-11." It seems
TO me that your presentation was un-
Ialr IN that you gave almost all the space
10 the captains side of the argument
With some exceptions, what Regular
ARMED forces personnel did during World
War II was mostly to process the GS's
and other civilians through their mass
OF red tape and then speed them to
hight overseas. What happened to that
army of II or IL million who won World
war II? It's sure bet that a great
number OF them are now GS's and
civilians in industry. What is the per-
centage of civilian component personnel
now serving in ENTHUSIASTICALLY fighting
and dying? 1t is so great that even
Congress has been highly concerned
about the Regulars dereliction of duty.
These comments are made with apollo
gies to that ] pei cent of professionally
qualified officers who fought beside the
GS's and minutemen during World War
II, and now in Korea To them this
does not apply for they deserve what
they are getting and more.

Ados IsroePs New Home

Another beautiful new house of worship is
being inducted into service by the Jewish COM
munity of Washington. 1t is the monumental
synagogue of the Adas Israel congregation at
Connecticut avenue and Porter street Northwest
Costing more than SIS million it represents
the cooperative endeavor of the oldest conserva-
tive Hebrew religious society in the Nations
Capital. 1t will be the meeting place of a group
whose local history dates back to 1869 and whose
traditions come down from ancient times
The symbol of AdaS Israel is the Menorah
the Seven-branched candelabrum which signifies
in Jewish lore the seven continents of the earth
and the seven heavens, guided by the light of
God" Carved on the facade of the new temple
this emblem has mission of instruction and
governance for at least 1000 families, united in
fellowship there. But it also means something
important to Washington at large covenant
of a sort is implied between the people of Adas
Israel and their neighbors. The Menorah, thus
reaflrmed in the Capital of the United States
is reminder that the Power which moves the
universe is force in every individual life, if
only it be permitted to enter the personal heart
and the personal mind.
That such sacred sign should be raised
here in Washington in the present critical time
is matter of qualification to all citizens of
good will. Rabbi David H. Panitz and Rabbi
Emeritus Solomon H. Metz are recognized leaders
among the teachers of religion in this Metro
politan center. The facilities provided for them
: IN Adas 1sraeps new home will add to their
strength and influence as spiritual mentors and
counselors. They deserve the congratulations of
their contemporaries, clerical and lay alike, of
every school of thought. What their people have
done is a benefaction of all Washington, and
the result will be al enrichment of the life of.
the whole city.

Diplomacy in Turkey

I have been in Turkey almost two
years and / am disguised with what I
have seen on the part of our American
Ambassador, who continues to irritate
the Turks on practically every occasion
that they get together.
Unless some on takes the necessary
action to caution our officials. both mill
tary as well as civilian, to be more
tactful and show little more courteous
treatment to their Turkish counterparts.
We are definitely going to lose the good
will of Turkey which many of us are
earnestly striving to maintain. Please
be assured that this is no crank" let
ter. I am not alone in deploring the
deterioration which seems to be setting
in, caused !. by the most part by un-
thinking individuals. making unguarded
statements.
The inclosed clipping from the Turk
ish newspaper. "Hurriyet. deals with
the presentation of the Legion of Merit
to Gen. Nuri Yamut, Turkeys Chief of
Staff. Note particularly the fact that
this highest ranking Turkish officer was
called to the American Embassy and
presented the award by an American
officer of Junior rank. 1t would seem
that this should have been the job of
our Ambassador, or at least our highest
ranking officer in Turkey.
The Turks are proud sensitive
people. grant that they have been
slow in some respects to taking the ac-
ton we feel they should in projects in
which we both have common interest,
but If we can't control our feelings
little better than some of us have, we
have no business being here.

The comparison of the GS-1l and
the Army captain has become bit
nOnOtOnOuS, SO / have sketehed a
new character-The Outsider. He Is
the private worker and taxpayer whose
money finances this bout between
malc0ntents.
Robert J. Kirwan.
There appears to be one great gap
in the Army captains defenses against
the GS-11. That is, in times of war.
the GS-11, and the other civilian ranks,
arc drafted or called to active duty as
field grade officers or enlisted men,
while the captains are, promoted to staff
jobs.
The average combat field officer is
likely to be reservist or a man from
the ranks, rather than a professional
officer and gentleman" After the fight
ing, he is only GS-11 with no place
on his suit for ribbons.
Former Enlisted Man.
Like all arguments, there are, of course
two sides to the controversy between
the Army captain and the GS-1l. I
think an unbiased person would find the
two jobs in fairly close balance as to
desirability.
found only one serious and dangerous
fault In the personal opinions of some.
AS an ex-Army officer, can sympathize
with the captains viewpoint, but please,
oh, please. don't give me that song and
dance about the buckshot and bayonets.
1t has been too long the experience Of
the American public that these things
are felt by the GS-11. the industry men,
the farmer, and all the rest Of our gang,

your Section C on September 8, but
do know it was one of the best journal

to come upon. Not only did it give an
informative and solid play-by-play de-

@. How are the sizes of stockings
f1gured?-M. C. D.
A.. The size is based upon the length
of the foot, measured from a point on
the toe to point on the heel A size 9
stocking is, therefore, inches from the
tip of the toe to the heel.

Democracy and EquuIity

Democracy and EquulIty
In your September II issue you
printed letter by Braxton H Tabb, jr..
in which he makes some comments on
democracy and racial equality.
Mr. Tabb has used an invalid and mis-
leading argument in comparing the con-
ditions Of American minority groups
with those Of the general population of
the world.
The condition Of minority group in
America is properly compared with the
general condition Of American citizens.
While the welfare of peoples the world
over is for the time being largely out of
our hands, the welfare Of minority groups
in our own country is in our hands, and
is our responsibility.
While the "Sons OF the American
Revolution" may have forgotten, the
highest ideals motivating the founders
OF this Nation were freedom. justice and
equality among all men. not a level Of
prosperity higher than the general world
prosperity. The fulfillment of these
ideals requires not certain minimum
opportunity for education nor basic
standard of living. but a standard shared
by all the citizens Of this Nation, be
that standard lower or higher than that
OF other nations.
In short, If our Nation may be called
great. it is because of the germ of demo-
cracy which has been planted here-and
by democracy mean not only certain
form Of government but also general &C
ceptance of the philosophy behind it.
F. Frank LIE Fever III.
The intolerant, childish and petty
racist statements. made by Braxton H.
Tabb. jr., one can only view with shame,
for they are discredit to both his race
and country. The myth of one race being
superior to another has been exploded
time and again, long before Hitler's rise
and fall. If racial minorities live in pow
erty and are denied opportunities given
the herrenvolk, it is because Mr.. Tabb
and his cohorts force slums and second
class citizenship upon millions of our
most loyal and competent inhabitants.
According to Mr.. Tabb's reasoning, Lucky
Luciano and Pretty Boy Floyd are su-
perior to DR.. George Washington Carver
or Marian Anderson, because of race.
AS another "Son of the American Rev
olution," I do not believe our founding
fathers envisioned a democracy as in
tolerant or as circumscribed as the one
we try to enjoy at present If most of our
founding fathers were alive today, they
would probably make the Attorney Cen
erals subversive list for one reason or
