SmiIin' Through

After diligent research, a psychologist at
Arkansas A. and M. College has come to the
conclusion that wives smile more than old
maids. It's nice to have it made scientific, but
actually he needn't have gone to the trouble.
Almost anybody could have told him.
Old maids are worried. They are worried
about being left on the shelf only slightly less
than they are worried that they might marry
the wrong man. They receive all sorts of con-
fiicting counsel They are told that no man is
worth their good job and their independence;
Oh they hear that bad marriage is better
than none It's enough to furrow any girls
brow.
For the wife, however it is a different
storv The suspense is over. For better or worse

Mistaken Identity

The letter signed N. B. in The Star on
May II is so full Of innocent confusion
! that an answer is definitely in order.
First. N. B. cites the "lack of police
enforcement at the Zoo park, where
Uttered picnic grounds in the summer
are a disgrace" He suggests that the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission crack down on the offenders.
His idea may be good, but he has his
agencies twisted. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has
nothing whatsoever to do with the
maintenance, operation and policing of
the Zoo.
The Zoo, which comes under the
Smithsonian Institution administrative
ly, has its own force to police its grounds
Rock Creek Park north and south of
the Zoo. is maintained and policed by
the Office of National Capital Parks,
which is field Office of the National
Park Service in the Interior Depart
ment.
Secondly. N. B. suggests that the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission interest itself in "$20-million
fountain on the White House Grounds
(maybe two)."
Ii Sucn PROJECT were proposed oy
some member of Congress, the COM
mission might be invited to pass judg-
ment on the location and design of the
fountain, but I doubt very much that
the commission would ever take the in
itiative in promoting this gilt-edged
bird bath.
Personally should like to see Con-
gress appropriate $40 million for some
of the freeways, bridges. parks and
parking lots that are urgently needed
rather than for an ornamental fountain.
There is popular misconception that
city planning commissions spend all of
their time dreaming up new and more
costly ways of looting the taxpayers.
That is not so-or, at least. it shouldn't
be so.
A properly organized city planning
commission is in strategic position to
save millions for the taxpayers through
the prevention of the waste that in
evitably results from ill-considered pub
lie works. p,.;. rry

Ban on Bronze Raises Some Questions
To the Editor Of The Stor::


A STORY in The Star of May 10
n stated that thousands of orders
have been received for White House
souvenir kits-each kit containing a
small bronze plaque, appropriately in
scribed.
Yet, because the National Production
Authority issued an order last December
restricting the use of copper, from which
bronze is made, the Army Quartermaster
General has determined" according to
statement from his Office, that it is
ifladvisable to continue using bronze
markers for soldiers graves.
Accordingly, some 1000 bereaved fami-
lies who applied for bronze markers for
the graves of their soldier sons and
daughters and other kin before the re-
striction against the use Of copper was
promulgated, have been notified that
their applications cannot be filed.
Under an old law. the Government.
through the Memorial Division OF the
Quartermaster Generals Office. provides
stone or bronze markers gratis for the
graves of soldiers, provided the families
of the soldiers bear the expense OF
setting up the markers where the in
terments are in private or other than
national cemeteries.
AS result of the ban against the use
of bronze for markers, the graves OF
soldiers will go unmarked unless their
families decide to accept the offer Of
selecting stone markers instead.
If the Commission on Renovation of
the Executive Mansion can get, during
a national emergency like the present,
bronze for plaques for each of the thou
sands of kits of discarded White House
rubble, it is strange that the Govern
ment can see fit to discontinue the COM
mendable custom of memorializing it's
war dead with small bronze tablets to
designate their last resting places.
If no restriction has been placed upon
the use of bronze for memorial foun-
taips, such as the one being constructed
opposite the National Gallery of Art in
memory of its generous founder, the
ban against bronze markers for the
graves of soldiers and other servicemen
whose families applied for the markers

impatient With Policy
C.. A..

This administration must relieve the
prevailing stress and strain on the
peoples patience. and provide external
accord through cooperation.
An attitude of contrariness is a trait
found only within stumbling and neg
lected course of Indifference to fair
criticism. Had the basic policy or
general outline of it been dealt with
before the Macarthur controversy arose.
and had Secretary Marshall's position
on Formosa been stated earlier, this
controversy could, have been avoided.

Food for India

LII S STdGAyluS t1ldG tIlC 1aOuoC AAcS o'SA
whelmingly approved the bill to lend India
$190 million to buy million tons of food grains
from the United States. Despite the unfortunate
impression created by the acrimonious debate
and delay preceding the final vote, the i'm
portant thing is that the measure has been
passed with very strong bipartisan backing and
that the way has been cleared to save great
numbers of Indian men, women and children
from the horrors of starvation
As far as the legislation itself goes, all that
remains to be done now is to reconcile in con-
ference the House bill and the version adopted
earlier this month by the Senate. The Senate
measure contains provision that would require
India to repay the loan, in part, with shipments
of monazte sands, mineral of potential value
in the field of atomic energy. But the House,
having in mind that Indian law-like our own
forbids the sale of such materials to other coun-
tries, has rejected this condition, and all signs
indicate that the conferees will agree to reject
it, too.
The major reason why there has been trouble
in Congress over this legislation is that Prime
Minister Nehru, besides making some rather
inept and untimely statements during the course
of debate, has been at odds with the United
States as regards how best to deal with Red
China. But that fact, irritating as it has been
to many people in this country, has never been
really germane to the essentially humanitarian
issue of doing something to alleviate Indias
desperate food situation. The issue, regardless
of Mr.. Nehru's efforts to walk the tightrope of
neutrality, has been the simple issue of taking
action to save millions of people from starving
to death-little boys, little girls, men and women
of all ages who are far removed from the realm
of craftsmanship and the hury-burly of inter-
national politics.
No American who has seen pictures of what
some Indians have suffered as a result OF their
current food crisis--no American who has seen
the terrible emaciation and misery that that
crisis has meant for individuals like our own
daughters and sons and husbands and wives
can have much stomach for congressional
speeches about how Mr.. Nehru should be taught
a lesson or about why we should send no grain
over there unless in return we get an equal
weight of monazite sands. We don't. need the
sands to eat, but the people of India certainly
need the staff of life we can well afford to send
them.
So it is good that the House, even If 1t has
done so belatedly amid the dissenting cries of
some members, has voted emphatically to do the
right thing, the necessary thing, the humani-
tartan thing It has acted in keeping with the
American tradition and the Senate conferees
should respond accordingly. Nor is 1t just our
own tradition that is involved here. Christian
morality is involved Were we not to help the
starving in India, this abundant land of ours
this rich, comfortable land, would be mean
sight in the eyes of Providence that has
blessed us all with incompatible plenty.

BroHey's Confidence

Maybe there's more than meets the
editorial eye reflected in your May 18
editorial. Confidential Conversations.
The question as to whether or not
Gen. Bradley should be compelled
to testify upon what was said in his
conversations with the President poses
some intricate problems which can
hardly be dealt with adequately, even
in public discussion, without resort to
the law of evidence.
The increasing Importance and sig
nificance Of legislative, in contrast with
judicial, hearings indicate the desir-
ability of a clearer understanding of the
distinctions applying to what may be
incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial
Incompetency relates. of course. to the
capacity Of the witness. But the dis
tinction between what is relevant, in
contrast with what is material, is not
always easy.
The general position taken in your
editorial is sound. But it Is important
also to emphasize that if the congress
sional hearing were for a purpose such
as. for example. exploring a basis for
impeachment proceedings, it might be
proper and valid to compel a person
holding position such as Gen. Bradley
holds to answer questions asking what
was said in conversations.
From what I have read in the press,
it is my opinion that Gen. Bradley took
a sound position.
Lawyer.
Your editorial suggestion that the
decision Of the Russell committee to
respect the confidential relationship be-
tween Gen. Bradley and the President
is reasonable and proper finds historical
precedent in the landmark case Of
Marbury v. Madison. Cranch 1877,
144-145 Q803). The Supreme Court
there unhesitatingly concluded with re-
spect to such communications made to
the acting Secretary Of State that he
ought to answer where:
there was nothing confidential re-
quired to be disclosed. If there had
been he was not obliged to answer,
and If he thought that anything was
communicated to him in confidence he
was not bound to disclose it,
Subsequently in the trial Of Aaron
Burr, II Robertsons Rept. SGT Q808)
Chief Justice John Marshall, referring
to Marbury v. Madison, said:
''the principle there decided was that
communications from the President to
the Secretary of State could not be
extorted from him"
1t is difficult to conclude that the
power of a Senate investigating COM
mittee to compel such confidential dis
closures reaches beyond the power Of the
courts.

Dalton Fined For Illegal Building

Norman o. Dalton was fined S2O in city. magistrates court Tuesday for building without city permit.
 Talmage L. Smith, attorney , for Dalton, immediately ser we'd notice of an appeal to a higher court.
 The trial had been postpon- ed twice since the charge was filed early in August by City Patrolman Ovid Mckinley.
 Dalton was first brought be- fore City Magistrate Myrna Perkins on Aug. 6, and he pied not guilty to altering, re- modelling and adding to build- ings, located within the city limits, without a permit.
 Smith then asked that the trial be postponed until Aug. 20, as he would be out of town for two weeks on business. He later wired from Anchor age and asked that the trial be delayed until Aug. 28 at which time it was heard.
 Smith admitted to the mag istrate that the permit was denied and that his client went ahead and built, but he raised the question as to whether Dalton's property is within the city limits.
 There has been some contro- versy over the exact location of the city limits. According to the present city plat, Dal-, ton was building within the city limits.
 Paul A. Dupler, local attor- ney, represented the City of Kodiak in the case.

An additional fact bearing on the workload of this division is that since A. laska is a territory the federal courts are called upon to exer- else jurisdiction normally ves- ted in the state courts. This pyramids the workload of the whole district, and particular ly the third division. :.
