St. Potriek's Day Meaning

The following excerpt from your edi-

genuine contributions to arts, letters
and the sciences"
Is Mrs. Peck, as well as your own edi-
torial writer. serving as an apologist for
the Irish? True Irishmen see no need
for citing examples Of their peoples con-
tributions to Western culture.
We are conscious of the Irish as a
race, not as group of specified individ-
uals. st. Patrick's Day reminds us
that we should be thankful, rather than
proud, for the introduction Of Chris
tianity to our ancestors and the sub
sequent deep faith that was instilled in
Irish descendants through the centuries.
We feel that the individual successes.
the sense of charity. the marked senti-
mentality and. yes, the humor OF Irish
men, are all blessings Of this great con-
tribution of st. Patrick
We have no quarrel with the many
Americans who try to initiate our
brogue, wear our shamrocks or sing our
"drenchingly sentimental" songs. They
are harmless symbols of the day, in
significant by comparison to the reli-
gious mockery Of the commercial Santa
Claus at Christmas and the rabbit at
Easter. We welcome all who wish to
express recognition of the Irish and the
Holy Trinity. by the wearing Of the
shamrock.

OF course, there are far horizons; but
the resurrection sets us living a life
that will be as steps unto the heaven

have begun. Mr. Kefauver would entrust to his
commission continuing study of the ramfica-
tions OF organized crime with continuing empha-
sis upon the responsibility of elected officials
at the local level. Mr.. Fulbright would like to
see a commission of eminent men assigned to a
study of the level of morality in Government and
desirable ethical standards for men in public
life.
Such commissions, under the direction and
control Of Congress, might accomplish some
thing of value. But no commission has the
standing, in public estimation, possessed by a
carefully directed Congressional investigating
committee. Perhaps the sensible thing to do is
to consider the work of the Kefauver and Full
bright committees as the end of the beginning,
but to pause now and give careful study to the
next move, which is to consider legislation to
deal with conditions exposed by investigation.
1t would be unfortunate to see the excellent
work so far of the two committees undermined
by disposition to plunge ahead with further in
vestigation, merely because the incidental glamor
of public hearings and colorful testimony are
temporarily popular.

New TV Channels and Education

There could be much broader use of tele-
vision in the educational field if tentative pro-
possls of the Federal Communications Con1mis-
Sol ere eHooted. A serious question has been
raised however, as to the readiness of sc',ools
and colleges to take advantage of the medium.
The educational question is serious because
of its bearinr on the expansion of commercial
TV broadcasting facilities. Under the plan lust
suggested by the FEC, the number of transmit
ting stations in this country eventually would
total about 1000, as compared with the 1O7 sta
tions operating today. The increase would be
made possible by permitting broadcasters to use

broadcasting now is done on Every high fire.
quency" bands. Before any new station could
be built, of course, the commission would have
to thaw its 1e4S "freeze" on new facilities
Unfortunately. such lifting of the ban on
new stations would come at particularly diff
cult time for commercial as we'll as non-com-
mercal applicants for the new channels. Most
of the materials that go into television station
are of the critical variety that are needed for
defense production. Building costs are high.
These factors are certain to deter rush of
construction, even if the FEC gives the final
"go' sign. Particularly hard hit by these emer-
gency conditions would be the universities which
have indicated interest in TV for education
Chairman Wayne Coy, while supporting the
commissions plan to reserve 200 stations for
non commercial education, commented on the
startling lack of data concerning the willingness
and readiness" of educational institutions to take
advantage of the proposal. Commissioner Web
ster opposed holding so many channels for edu-
cation unless more definite information could be
obtained. Commissioner Hennock, on the other
hand, feels that not enough stations were as
signed for commercial education. This is
a question which the FEC will be in better posi-
ton to decide after the public hearings called
for May %. 1t is question which ought to be
settled soon. The television industry would
have right to resent it If assignments to edu-
cational institutions remained unused indefinitely
in localities where new commercial stations
otherwise could be built.

Easter, 1851

There came into the harbor of San Francisco
on Thursday ship whose burden was the first
OF the men killed in the Korean war. The broken
bodies Symbolized the shattered hopes of youths
who died that others might survive in freedom
Their Good Friday was in very real sense
repetition of that of the great Teacher of
selfess ideals who perished on the Cross above
Gegotha.
But the martyrs of the Korean strife were
not the only sacrifices of our unhappy times
Such ships as theirs have sailed all the oceans
year after year as far back as history goes. The
chronicle of blood and sweat and tears to which
they belong is ages old They merely are the
latest to pay the price of civilization Millions
OF their forerunnerS set them heroic example
The multitudeS for whom they gave "the last
full measure of devotion" understand their i'm
notation. What is not clear is why and how it
happens that humanity, educated by the CEN
turies, still fails to solve its tragic problem.
In theory there is no question about what
course mankind should follow and what objective
1t should seek. Even little children know that
peace is the path, and liberty and progress and
happiness the goal. How this general knowledge
and this vast desire can be achieved is the issue
OF our day. The wars and the revolutions, the
organized crimes, the large and the petty dis
honestleS which are the common experience of
edCI passing nOur must DE stopped. IhOSe young
men on the transport General G. M. Randall in
the Golden Gate are only symbols of the human
cost of prevailing mischief and confusion.
Easter in 1851 will see the re-affirmation of
Christian idealism wherever people are permitted
to hear the account of the Resurrection. They
will meet in their churches and listen to words
and music rejecting the triumph of Jesus over
tyranny, injustice, cruelty and the grave ITSELF
1t will be repeated to them that Christ did not
fail and that all who faithfully abide by His
philosophy of brotherhood and Righteousness
and mercy share in His victory. This message
will encourage every listener with hope for hope.
Yet the future may be very dark.
On every hand civilization seems to be dis
1ntegrating. Each individual mind is conscious
OF the obvious danger each individual heart is
sad because of the ordeals of suffering and
sorrow in which we all are involved. Most Of
us are alert to the peril which threatens the
extinction of our way of life, and great numbers
OF us already are engaged in resistance to that
peril. But the compulsion of our era has not
reached us all. There still are many good and
Wel-ntentioned persons who continue to
imagine that they are not called to help Before
another Easter dawns a final all-inclusive
emergency may develop. Even if there is no
climax of conflict, the picture of the years ahead
Is bleak-unless We see it in the LIGHT of the
Saviour who was not defeated and did not yield
to death.

Time to Study the Next Move

The skillful conduct and the genuine pro-
.ductiveness of both the RFC and the organized
crime Investigations have produced strong de-
.mand that they be continued. There is general
feeling in the public mind that only the surface
has been scratched and that the digging should
60 deeper.
But partly for personal reasons, the able
cha1rmen OF these two investigating committees
Kefauver of Tennessee and Fulbright
of Arkansas want to quit. Neither wishes to
conf1ne promising Senate careers to a single
speciality, especially when the time consumed
by that speciality excludes almost everything
else
There are other considerations, however
outside the personal desires of the two Senators
most involved. One is that the only valid justi-
fcation for such Investigations is to determine
the need for corrective legislation and the form
1t should take. In the case of the RFC, the form
of the legislation for its reorganization has been
approved by the House and is now under study
In the Senate with possibility that instead of
recognizing it Congress may vote to abolish it.
AS result of its investigation, the Kefauver
committee has uncovered pattern of organized
crime in this country which is to be made the
basis for a series of legislative proposals. as yet
-unrevealed Both committee chairmen, therefore,
believe that their committee missions have been
accomplished
There is another very practical consideration
that the public may overlook. One of the rea-
sons that these two Investigations have been pro-
ductive is the careful work of preparation,
extending over many months, by excellent in
vestigating stats. In the case of the Fulbright
committee, the public hearings have now COW
cred and extended beyond the ground explored
in advance by the investigating staff If the
committee keeps going, its Investigations could
deteriorate into hopeful fishing expedition,
without real objective. Something of the same
condition applies in the case of the Kefauver
investigation, which was to wind up by the
end of this month. If it is to continue its work
indefinitely, and beyond the tieing up of some
loose ends remaining, the staff of investigators
must be given the opportunity to explore in
advance.
This would be logical time to conclude
the Investigations for the time being and to be-
gin the serious consideration of the legislation,
for which the Investigations were designed in the
first place. For the discussion of that legislation
in Congress would provide the most appropriate
opportunity to decide whether further investi-
CATION is desirable the direction 1t should take
and how 1t is to be conducted.

The recent article in The Star, headed
Nobody Starved by Austerity, Northern

sponsive chord, for 1t is so typical of the
folk of Northern Ireland whom I visited
last year.
From statements made by sources OBJ
viously hostile to the people in Northern
Ireland. I got the impression that I
would find tumbledown cottages. pigs
in the front yards, begging, drunkenness
and loafng. In reality. discovered
cottages seemingly newly whitewashed
just the day before. I did not see one
pig all the time I was in Northern Ire
land. Il suppose there are pigs there
omewhere-probably in very sanitary
pens.) I saw not one beggar. The
people were well dressed, and saw but
one drunk-and he was just hilariously
drunk.
Belfast is very up-to-date, hustling
city. 1t has department stores equal
to the best in Washington. and the
Belfast folks are friendly. Belfast took
a very heavy beating from German
bombs; women were killed in linen fac
tories and other non-war plants, and
the people certainly proved to be heroic.
The streams of Northern Ireland
would make fisherman's mouth water:
the roads. such as the Antrim Coast
road. are dreams of surfacing, and the
views from the roads are ever-changing.
The Giants Causeway is something no
traveller in the British Isles should miss.
I expected to find a pocket handker-
chief-sized affair, probably cluttered
with picnic debris, but the Causeway
covers acres and acres, and it was not
cluttered at all. AS for the Glens of
Antrim. they. too, should not be missed
by the traveller from America. Especially
Glenariff
While some English towns are rather
cool toward American travellers (until
they get to know one), due to the
actions of some of our troops while in
Britain during the war. the Northern
Irish seemed to have taken our boys
very good-naturedly, and I heard not
one word of complaint.
Now that I have actually seen North
ern Ireland. 1t seems to me very foolish
for people to travel all the way from
the United States to the British Isles
and pass up Northern Ireland. For there
is scenery to be seen there that cannot
be seen anywhere else, and the folks
are such fine folks.

we live in it. The sky begins not in the

With mighty tug Easter pulls the

we stand. The invisible world is much

them down to the iowly path upon which

message is that the sky of the eternal
