Mr.. Tydings' Charges

It may be that Millard Tydings would have
been beaten in Maryland last November If the
senatorial campaign had been conducted on the
highest plane. Senator Buffers victory margin
was better than 5000 votes, and there certainly
is some basis for the contention that the methods
used in his behalf were not in themselves,
enough to account for his decisive triumph
This question, however, is speculative and
beside the point. What is pertinent now is the
issue that has been raised by the charges that
Mr. Tydings has made before Senate subcom-
mittee investigating the Maryland election
The gist Of these charges is that fraud de-
cet and other activity in violation of the election
laws played q conspicuous part in the Butler
campaign. On the face Of Mr.. Tydings' COM
plaint these accusations are well founded It
certainly was not true that the "Tydings Group"
held up arms to our troops, or that Mr.. Tydings
was In any way responsible for the heavy casual
ties in Korea. Neither was there anything but
deceit and intentional deceit, in the composite
photograph showing Mr.. Tydings in a chummy
pose with the Communist Earl Browder This
was dirty-very dirty-politics.
1t remains to be seen however, whether, on
all the evidence, Senator Butler can be directly
linked to these disgraceful tactics. The defense
mas not yet been heard and as is the case in
so many unedifying political fights there may
be two sides to this story.
The job Of the committee headed by Senator
Monroney is to develop that story. It's primary
reason for pursuing the investigation is to de-
ternine whether Senator Butler should retain
his seat in the Senate. There is, however, an
additional reason. II Mr. Tydings' charges, or
any significant number of them can be proved,
there may still be- insufficient reason to unseat
Senator Butler. But even so, If there is sub
stantial truth in the accusations, the record
should be made. For the Maryland voters and,
indirectly all other voters, are entitled to know
to what extent their political judgment can
be Influenced by unabashed fraud and deceit

Mr.. West and Home Rule


Corporation Counsel Vernon E. West, teStifying
for the Commissioners, has rendered valuable
service to the people of Washington and, one
would think, for Senator Nicely and the members
of his subcommittee.
But Mr. West got raped over the knuckles
by Mr.. Nicely for his pains. He was accused OF
trying to defeat the bill. And how was he trying
to defeat the bill? BY examining its provisions
in detail and suggesting that somebody ought
to take a second look at some Of them; by
pointing out contradictions, inconsistencies ana
one or two passages of gobbledygook that even
lawyer cannot understand. He also expressed
warranted skepticism as to whether the people OF
the District at least the owners of property, were
not being sold down the river in such important
fields as zoning regulation
Had Mr.. West taken a leaf from the produc-
tive political experience of his soon-to-be boss, F.
Joseph Donohue he would not have used this
approach He would have given three cheers
for home, mother and the American flag, in
dorsed home rule by uttering irrelevant general
tiles concerning the right to vote and acknoWl-
edged the plaudits of Senator Nicely and
assembled guests
But Mr. West happens to belong to possibly
vanishing school of public servants who believe
that their official testimony on pending legis-
lation should be directed to perfecting it, and
who are willing to leave the policy OF enactment
to the legislators. That is what he did and he
did it very we'll
The Star happens to agree with Mr.. West
that the bill raises a serious question OF con-
stitutionality which may not be answered finally
for many years. and that in the meantime such
routine transactions the execution OF real
estate deeds should this bill be enacted as 1t is.
would be thrown into confusion. The Star also
agrees with Mr.. West that the powers of city
council to put the city in debt for as much as
S33 100000, while placing the burden of debt
repayment only on real estate and tangible
personal property, is a threat to everybody who
owns Washington property And when this
situation is coupled with voting rights for every
body who lives in Washington for year, without
affecting his voting status as a resident OF
State, the hazards of the local property owner,
who claims only Washington as his place OF
residence, are even more manifest.
There are many other criticisms Of the bill
with which anybody who reads Mr.. Vests careful
analysis should agree. For there is nothing
frivolous or picayunish in what he had to say.
But this is the Identical bill that passed the
Senate in the 81st Congress, without discussion
on the floor, and the same procedure may be
followed this term. When Mr.. Donohue is con-
f1rme6 and sworn in, he may want to read the
bill. 1t would be part of his job as Commissioner
to read it. If he then suggests that it be
changed, he will be criticized for trying to save
his Job by working to defeat home rule. Perhaps
he can take that sort of buncombe without bat
ting an eye. If he wants to be Commissioner,
he should learn to take 1t now.

Christ Was q Peocemoker

This is in regard to Laura K. Pollock's
letter in The Star, captioned Christ Was
a Fighter"
Jesus of Nazareth showed no aggres-
sive qualities on the way to the cross
On the contrary, He sternly rebuked
Peter for recourse to the sword. He
came to save lives. not destroy them.
With His dying breath, He blessed His
prosecutors and gave His life in an effort
to perpetuate peace. The Master
Christian said. Blessed are the peace
makers" He never blessed warmongers.
Edmund X. Goldsborough.
~
What the advocates of the righteous
sword tell us is this: That when the
legions OF evil are on the march, we may
feel free at some point to engage in
judicious slaughter, SO that our superior
selves may be saved. Is this the kind of
salvation taught by our Master?
In the first place His followers were
specifically warned not to be judges of
men, lest they themselves be judged.
We are told to suffer persecution, return
good for evil. and to love our enemies;
not only are we forbidden to kill. but
we must fight against anger and other
motives which induce such state of
mind. The Master indeed did not bring
peace to society. because good will be
opposed to evil as long as the world
endures The sword He brought was not
the bloody weapon of the angry man.
but the forgiving spirit Of the penitent
man.

that Mr.. Wilson cannot be pushed around, and

working out this problem "in manner equitable
for every one without special privilege for any

Gas Profits
AS small stockholder in the Wash

sumner of its product as well, wonder
at this companys income statement for

earnings were $1.68.

Associated Press Sioff Writer

The mystery of Minnesota S
famed Kensington Stone took a
new twist today with word that
a noted scientist who once scoffed
at it as a fraud now believes it
may be authentic after all.
The stone has puzzled experts
for years.
Its hand-carved inscription re-
IlateS a final chapter in the saga
lof adventurous NorSemen who
Ipurportedly made their way from
Greenland, perhaps by way of
ICanada'S Hudson Bay, into what
is now central Minnesota-and
did it about 130 years before Co.
lumbus discovered" America.
10 Apparently Scalped.
Ten of the band apparently
were scalped by Indians. The fate
of the survivors is an unsolved
mystery in itself.
AS to the stone, DR.. William
IThalbitzer, Danish ethnologist and
one of the worlds foremost au-
IthoritieS on runes, has this latest
word to say:
1T seems to me that after all
the runic inscription may be au-
thentic. I now maintain this mat
ter in its entirety is worthy of
re-study."
Runes are the characters of a
primitive alphabet used by Ger
annie peoples in medieval times.
Ever since a Swedish farmer.
Olof Gilman. found the oddly
carved stone near Kensington
Mimi, in 1898. leading runic ex-
perts-Dr. Thalbitzer among them
have questioned its authenticity
In recent years, however. there
have been major advances in lin
guistic studies and fresh discov-
cries of old documents in the
Scandinavian countries. In the
light of these. DR.. Thalbitzer has
made the first intensive analysis
of the Kensington inscription in
many years. The Smithsonian In
stitution published his findings
yesterday.
For a long time, 7, too, con-
sidered the Kensington stone a
fraud" DR.. Thalbitzer says.
Fresh Facts Aired.
However. from time to time
certain fresh facts bearing on the
matter have come to light in
archaeology, runology and philol-
ogy.
LAS new light is being thrown
on this amazing find from the
west, I cannot but waver in my
doubt"
| The stone. a slab about three
feet long. less than two feet wide.
six inches thick and weighing al
most 200 pounds. was found under
the large roots Of an aspen tree.
/ 1t bore one of the longest runic
inscriptions known - 800 large,
clear runic signs in nine hori-
zontal lines on the face and three
vertical lines on the left edge.
THE language. as unraveled
word by word, is about half old
Swedish dialect" says DR.. Thai
bitZer. But as far as we can see
it teens with anomalies and gram
matical errors and resembles
medley of archaic and modern
forrs Furthermore it contains
an alien element"
There are. for example, several
words apparently English or Of
