Days Of Prayer, All of Them

The following letter, addressed to
President Truman, was published re-
Gently in the Fort Worth (Tex.) Star
Telegram. I thought it might be Of
interest to Washington readers:
''Mr President:
"If your daughter Margaret were a
Johnny in Korea you wouldn't worry
about the remarks of the public con-
cerning her fiat voice-you would be
wondering if you'd ever hear that voice
again. If your daughter were Johnny
in Korea, you would be thinking about
how cold she might be-instead of the
GOODNESS of the public. You would be
worrying about where she might fall on
the battle-ground and from the stage
of life, instead of the stage of fame.
IF your daughter Margaret were
Johnny in Korea. you wouldn't only
proclaim a day of prayer. but days of
prayer. Mr.. Truman, you don't have
to proclaim a day of prayer for me
All my days are days of prayer. You
see have Johnny in Korea. and he
is my only Johnny-just as Margaret
is your only daughter"

Dime and nickel novels, dear to the
hearts and minds of the oldsters, will
come into public view again in an exhibit
next summer at the New York Public
Library.
Jesse James, Nick Carter, Diamond
Dick, Buffalo Bill and other heroes, in
Guiding Frank Merriwell, of course
There will shine again the books which
once went for cents and 10 cents, but
which today sell at dollar apiece as
collectors items.
First of the Jesse James stories was
published May II, 1901.
The writer here probably read it! He
had just come to Washington with his
parents.
Boys of that day bought these books
at corner stores, wherein were sold all
sorts of magazines, toys, stationery, etc.
The store we patronized was at Four
teenth and Corcoran streets
1t was run by an old gentleman with
white hair and a skull cap.
There was a bell which went ting
aling" every time the door was opened.
Then the old man would come siding
out from behind curtain in the rear
The curtain of course, was green. Was
there ever such curtain of any other
color?
And does not every such bell on every
such door sound the same the world
around?

ton of not losing to the Communists
the manpower that is now on our side.
there Is the moral responsibility of our
keeping faith with the mass of peoples
who. in all innocence, have put trust in
us and have resolved to stand together
through fair and foul weather. What
could be the value of life itself, if such
a consideration were forgotten or ig-
nored? Therefore, we Koreans have
proposed to form an army, in addition
to what We already have, of one million,
or half million even, to bolster the
U. N. forces in Korea, to fight and repel
the Chinese Communist army that has
started new aggressive war.
This proposal is not grand show of
bravado, but the result of sober thinking
and. preparation, shared by the Korean
government as we'll as the people from
the highest to the lowest. What is
lacking is only the equipment for that
many men. We do not ask for uniforms
even. We still wear our white cotton
jackets and pantaloons and straw SAN
dals and will march and climb hills and
mountains and fight, provided we get
the needed rifles and ammunition.
According to the latest report, the
defense minister, Shin Sung-mo, has
already recruited one million South Ko-
reans ready for arms at Kumchon, Korea.

Not So Solid

The "Arab-Asian bloc" is phrase that sug-
gests unanimity in great segments of the world
particularly the Far East-behind Prime Minister
Nehru's leadership in what has all the earmarks
of a well-intentioned but sadly misguided effort
to work out peace-at-any-prce deal with the
Chinese Communists. But the unaninlity does
not really exist. The solidarity is more apparent
than real
A good reminder to that effect is contained
in a letter addressed to the New York Times by
a group describing itself as the Asian Students
Association. "As we are Asians," this group has
written, 1--WE should say that the majority of the
Asian countries have different views compared
with Nehrus appeasement policy. Thailand, the
Philippines, Indo-China, the Republic of Korea
and Nationalist China are all supporting the
United States decision to condemn or punish
Red China as an aggressor. India really has no
right to speak for us :"
Thailand, the Philippines, IndoChina, the
Republic of Korea and Nationalist China repre-
sent very large numbers of people who are not
part of the so-called "ArabAsian bloc" The
phrase is an oversmpifcation and ought there
fore to be read with reserve. 1t gives the i'm
preston of huge united front. Actually, how
ever that front will fall apart very fast if events
show-as they are likely to-that Mr. Nehru's
views, though high minded; are far from realistic.

that Is one reason that friendly light-hearted-
ness has been the predominant note in observ-
ance of an event in which so many have joined
him.
Few men have been more conscientiously
diligent or more deeply loyal in meeting the de-
mands of any assignment whether it came about
in the course of professional duties or in the
voluntary acceptance of public obligations i'm
posed by community needs. Mr.. Evans has
never had much time for leisure. Regrets that
otherwise might be expressed over the closing
of one long chapter are overshadowed by the
anticipatory pleasures of beginning another, by
one whose enjoyment of rest, travel and the
pursuit of pleasant diversion had been long
delayed.
The Star joins Mr.. Evans many Washing
ton friends in congratulating him upon this
prospect, made brighter by public acknowledge
ment of so many deeds well done.

Pearl Bucks MESSAGE

As The Star has stated before, it is regret
table that Mrs, Pearl Buck was not permitted to
address the students at Cardozo High School.
1t would also be regrettable, however if the mes
sage which Mrs. Buck sent to the Cardozo
students, and which has been released by the
Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom, were to convey an inaccurate i'm
preston of the progress that has been made in
Washington in dealing with the racial problem.
Mrs Buck said in her message that the
incident which kept her from addressing the
students face face was a small thing affect
ing only one school and one person. But the
news of it had already gone abroad" she declared.
1T is an incident tremendous in its significance,
not that we are important, but it is important
that such thing could have happened here"
It is not clear from the context what Mrs.
Buck meant when she said sit is important
that such thing could have happened here"
If this was an alluSion to the racial question:
however, which some people think was the real
reason for the withdrawal of her invitation to
speak, it would be erroneous to infer that Wash
ington is moving backward instead of forward
It is unfortunate that Mrs Buck was not per-
mitted to address the Cardozo students. But
this incident is not evidence that discrimina-
ton on racial grounds is on the increase in
Washington.
The fact is that great deal of progress
We are still far short of the ideal, but the in
cident involving Mrs. Buck does not reveal that
discrimination for reasons of race is gaining
ground in this city. The truth is that the whole
trend is in the opposite direction.

Don't Neglect Polio Campaign

While it is true that the magnitude
of the international situation tends to
overshadow all others at the present
time, we cannot afford to ignore our
responsibilities at home.
There are many devastating diseases
that plague us as a people, and infantile
paralysis, I am sure, ranks high, with
its Gripping effects on our men, women
and children.
We have encountered many foes as
a Nation and always have fought as
one. So we surely will remember the
March of Dimes even in time of world
crisis. We should give that others may
live.

tlement" Within 10 days the other
unions took similar action.
The reason for this seemingly quick
turn is still unclear. 1t probably re-
suited from combination of weak
union leadership and the thought that
a little more in wages could be squeezed
out. But the general chairmen verbally
blasted the agreement" from start to
finish. and the chiefs themselves talked
they had signed.
All in all. it's the kind of thing that
gives gray hairs to any one trying to
make sense out of the rail-labor picture.
