Sigmund Romberg

1t generally is agreed that Sigmund Romberg
was one of the greatest music-makers of h
time. Born in Hungary in 1887, he had tht
advantage OF thorough and profound training
in Austria between 1901 and 1903. When he came
to the United States in the latter year. he
brought with him the talents and Skills which
accounted for his subsequent successes. A letter
from Franz Lehar gained him the attention of
THE Whirl of the World" in 1912 Then followed
seven Passing Shows Meanwhile, in 1917 Mr.
Romberg turned out his first true operetta, May
time" He also was responsible for the tunes of
% other productions under Schubert manage
ment Among these were Blossom Time" 1921
and THE Student Prince" 1924-both still pop
uar.
Much more definitely his own, however, were
Mr.. Rombergs Desert Song" THE New Moon"
and up in Central Park" His earlier career was
derivative of Vienna. The second period of his
life proved his capacity for independence. When
he died Saturday at 81, he left 78 complete light
operas and more than 1000 songs.
Mr.. Romberg's work was neither Glow brow
nor high brow" He wrote intentionally for the
whole public. classicist in some moods, he could
outdo Tin Pan Alley at its characteristic best
in others. The explanation of his versatility was
to be found in the excellence of his musicianship
He knew what he was capable of because he knew
what the human voice and orchestral instru-
ments are capable of. But he also was master
of the psychology of musical entertainment. He
understood the minds and the hearts of people,
and he catered to them sincerely. No other artist
of his era is more cCstain of remembrance.

I am getting pretty sick and tired Of
the hubub the various Protestant sects
have been raising over the appointment
of General Mark Clark as emissary to
the Vatican
l myself am Protestant, and see
no sound reason why President Truman
should not send representative to the
Vatican
1t must be recognized that the Catho-
lie Church is universal church, and
thus sends its representatives all over
the world. Many of these representatives
are in Iron Curtain countries. It is
through these persons that we are able
to gather information about political
conditions, the formation of resistance
movements, and many other vital facts
concerning these Communist dominated
countries These men and women from
the Vatican serve very useful purpose
in our fight against Communism.
Aside from the fact that the Vatican
serves as clearing house for vital in
formation, 1t is also useful communi-
cation center between the countries Of
the world. This can be illustrated by
the fact that during the last war it was
through the Vatican that We first found
out that the Japanese were willing to
sue for peace.
With the above facts in mind, I
think it is important that we do have
diplomatic representative in the Vati-
can.
suggest that all those people who fail
to realize the Importance of the Vatican
as clearing house for information read
the book, THE Listening Post" by
Thomas B. Morgan.
l see no validity in the argument
by Protestant leaders that by having
representative of this country in the
Vatican we are violating the principle
of the separation of Church and State
My only hope is that the leaders of
my church will come to their senses,
and put aside their unfounded fears,
and accept the nomination of General
Clark as emissary of the United States
to the sovereign Vatican state.

You won't believe me, but once this
was a wonderful place to live, where
every one was busy tending to his own
business. instead Of trying to tell his
neighbor- how to run his. We could go
to bed at night with the assurance that
we would start the tomorrow. God
willing" and no snoopers would be COM
ing around to inquire into our personal

You ask how did we stray so far from
the American Way? I'll tell you, by

the aggressive fellow, who thought he
knew where he was going, and what he
was doing, undermine our Constitution,
and take away our liberties.

The Turks and the KremIin

It is not surprising that the Soviet Union has
sent very severe" note to Turkey warning the
latter against becoming member of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. Greece probably
will receive similar message. The men of the
Kremlin do net like the idea of having either of
these countries join in the defense of the free
world by making available to the NATO alliance
air and naval bases close to strategic Russian
soil.
In ordinary circumstances, in normal or
genuinely peaceful times, the Soviet note would
be reasonable enough-an understandable ex-
preston of apprehension over seeing coalition
move to establish military position near Russia.
These are exceptional days, however. The coali-
tion-which has approved Turkeys and Greece's
applications for full partnership-exists solely
and simply because it has been forced into
existence as an instrument of self-preservation,
by the Kremlin's policies of direct and indirect
aggression. Were it not for those policies-were
it not for the fact that they menace the free
peoples of Europe including the Turks and the
Greeks-there would now be no NATO.
The men Of the Kremlin are well aware of
this They know that the Atlantic Pact-to
which Turkey and Greece are ready to add up
ward of 500 0e0 troops-is an alliance with but
a single purpose. That purpose, wholly nom
aggressive wholly non-threatful, is to prevent
war and promote peace by setting up system
of mutual defense so strong that the Soviet
Union and its satellites will be deferred from
attacking in Europe. In effect NATO is an in
surance plan designed to safeguard it's members
from being overwhelmed one at time, by the
forces of Red totalitarian aggression. To warn
a nation against joining it in this period of
great danger is to warn that nation not to
protect itself from the threat of murder.
But the rnks-and the same holds true for
the Greeks-do not scare easily. As they have
demonstrated repeatedly since the end of the
war, both on their own soil and in faraway Korea
they are tough-hbered people determined to
maintain their independence and fight if need
be- on the side of the free world They can be
counted upon to answer the Kremlins note
accordingly without IFS" or butts or 'maybes 3"

UnequoIity Under Low?

John Polk was sentenced to 35 years
by judge in Fairfax County Circuit
Court for the crime of rape.
The point which arouses my interest
is the matter of discrimination on ac-
count of race. Where is the man of
average Intelligence who believes that
if this miserable brute had had black
skin, he would have been sentenced to
anything less that the death penalty.

the crime he committed?

Smeor Compoiqns

In reporting the Lynch Clark contro-
versy In the recent campaign for the
House OF Delegates seat in the Virginia
Legislature, your newspaper rendered a
real service to voters in Fairfax and
Falls Church. You presented the facts
OF each development effectively and as
clearly as possible. considering the con-
fusion of the many charges and counter
charges and the limited amount of
space you could devote to two out of
50 candidates.
There is. of course, a tremendous
publicity advantage to any politician
who wishes to launch a smear cam
paign. Succeeding news stories on such
controversy must necessarily carry re-
peated explanations of the charges,
which serve to bring them to the at
tention of any voters who may have
missed the initial story. Yet a candi-
date falsely accused can scarcely ignore
the charges simply to let the story die.
1t is heartening then to find that the
voters can recognize an Objectionable
political maneuver. Perhaps the most
serious harm that is done by a smear
campaign. aside from the unwarranted
reflection cast on candidate and his
family, is the perpetuation of the prefix
dirty to politics. It makes much
harder the job of getting more citizens
to take an active part in politics Dirty
politics repulse many of the very peo-
pie who are most needed to make the
workings of our democracy work-and
that may be secondary objective Of
the politicians who make il dirty

although only recently has it become of
prime concern in any consideration of
disarmament or arms regulation.
In 1927, for example, the Soviets pro-
posed to the League of Nations that

tion proposals were first made by Presi-
dent Truman and others to the United
Nations in 1916. the Soviets have relied
on confusion or counter proposals in
attempts to discredit and defeat action
that would not suit their purposes.
The United States proposal to the
United Nations in 1916 urged that an
international atomic development au-
thority be vested with strong compre-
hensive powers of investigation. Mr..
Truman last year told the U. N. General
Assembly that successful world disarma-
ment depended mainly on three princi-
pies: CD All kinds of weapons must be
included, co all countries with Substan-
tial ornaments and armed forces must
unanimously agree, 90 any program
must be thoroughly and continuously po-
Iced.
The newest program offered by the
Western nations and described by Presi-
dent Truman last Wednesday caused Mr..
Vishinsky to say he laughed so much
that he couldn't sleep all night. The

rest and mirthlessness in most other
