This and That
BY Charles E. TroceweN

His system for eye care does not in
clude protection from the sun.
The vogue for blinkers. called sun
glasses, leaves him cold.
He never wears them. and believes
that only few persons, here and there,
have any need for them.
That . young person obviously brim-
ming over with health. vitamins and
minerals, to say nothing Of all the
standard muscles, needs to- put on
binders lis obviously nonsense.
Another facet In this canny fellows
eye care is warm and cold water.
He alternates them on the eyes when
they feel tired.
Another item is steadfast refusal to
touch his eyes with his fingers. except In
the washing process.
X
The sight of some wight in a public
place rubbing his eyes. or poking at them
with the finger. causes him to shudder.
Though he knows his hands are as
clean as soap and water can get them,
this man with the good eyesight at an
advanced age refuses to touch them ex-
cept now and then, and then only with q
handkerchief.
He insists on good light when he
reads.
He no longer reads for days at time,
as he once did.
A few hours ID enough.

Favor for q Friend

The disclosure that Mrs. Flo Bratton, secre-
tary to the Vice President, was beating the drums
in behalf Of applicants for RFC loans is enough
TO make person wonder where the influence"
business begins and whereof ever-it ends in
this town.
Certainly the loan application is no proper
concern of a vice presidential secretary Never
thelesS, Mrs. Bratton, accompanied by Charles E.
Shaver, counsel tc the Senate Small Business
Committee went to see at least one RFC director
to urge approval of $1,100,000 loan to a firm
that wanted to build resort hotel in Florida.
Previously, the RFC had rejected the loan But
shortly after the visit from Mrs. Bratton and
Mr.. Shaver it was approved, although the project
never actually went through.
Mrs. Bratton is quoted as saying she was
just doing favor for friend and the same
thing presumably applies to similar efforts in
behalf Of another concern in another case Even
II that was the only motive, she certainly was
not doing Mr.. Barkley any favor
The Vice President says he had issued strict
instructions to his staff, including Mrs Bratton.
that they were never to approach any Govern
ment agency in behalf of any one seeking loan
or contract. If that is the case, one can sympa-
thize with Mr. Barkley in his present embarrass-
nent. No sympathy need be wasted, however
on Mrs. Bratton and Mr.. Shaver, or on RFC
officials who were weak enough to yield, or to
appear to yield, to the highly improper pressure
that was put on them.

The man who doesn't wear glasses is
an exception.
How does he do it?
Unlike most persons. who seldom give
credit to their ancestors. this man with
out spectacles remembers his grand
mother.
Her hair was still black at 90 years.
She could read fine print when she
died at the age of 81 years.
She had never tasted any coffee but
Arbuckle's, and that was pretty bad, but
it seemed to have agreed with her.
4
Amazing" said the oculist. when he
looked at this mans eyes.
Certainly it wasn't lack Of reading
that had kept those eyes in good shape.
He had been reading ever since the
age of years.
At IL he read most Of Dickens in some
old English shilling editions.
These were marvellous productions
printed on the forerunner of Bible paper.
and in the smallest type ever known
to man.
Diamond" was it?
Surely 1t must have been much smaller.
nearer the thing called microscopic
nowadays.
t.
Well, this guy can read it still. Not all
the time, OF course, but now and then.

He is careful to look up. now and then,
when reading.
He finds it helpful to look around from
one point to another.
The standard set face Of the American
in public places strikes him as phony
and hurtful.
He lets his glance 60 here and there.
and back from there to here. instead Of
glaring resentfully at the world around
him.
Those are a few of the useful hints
he throws out. though he says that most
Of them will be disregarded by others
because they have not had personal ex-
perience with them. and probably will
not accept them since they will not
think of him as authority" The mod
ern love for authority. of dictation from
famous" this and well known" that,
shows him how relationships grow into
being.
These are some Of his hints, but he
says that mostly he believes the best
thing to do is to select a vigorous grand
mother.
Thread a needle?" he laughed. "Why,
she could thread needle at 81 years,
that was how good her eyes were"
Maybe" we suggested. 1T was that
brand Of coffee she used" He thought
not. Probably her eyesight was due to
her-you've guessed it-srandmother.

Balancing Home BUDGET

Well. I see we are still going accord
ing to normal procedures.
The military pay raise is pushed out
Of sight again and the Good Lord only
knows when weu get it. The last pay
raise came 10 months after we began
paying income tax. Now new tax in
crease is here and we're stuck again
for an indefinite period.
I'm sure none Of us mind paying in
come tax but we'd like more breaks and
less bands and speeches. I'd sure like to
enjoy some home life without having to
worry about rent and food being out of
reach. Sure will be catastrophe If my
wife has to quit working.
It seems that after the First World
War q system Of having o couple Of Of
ficers and enlisted men on temporary
duty in Washington to lobby for military
legislation was the style. These men
were not a burden on the populace but
were kept here through dime donations
from all the service personnel. We could
very well use something like that now.
We need some live wire to 60 to bat for
us, and maybe between wars we could
live like nice, clean, normal humans.
Wondering Military.

New Orchestral Season

The National Symphony Orchestra opens its
twenty-frst season at Constitution Hall this
evening. No better moment, perhaps could be
chosen for recognition of the social significance
of such an organization of artists. Less than a
century ago the privilege of listening to an
orchestral ensemble was limited to princes and
millionaires. Handel, Gluck, Mozart, Haydn,
Beethoven, Weber, Schubert, Wagner and Strauss
rarely, if ever, played to unsolicited audiences.
Music in their time was essentially aristocratic.
Even as recently as 1901 the average man or
woman almost never heard truly great music
greatly performed
One of the real achievements of living
generations, then has been the characterization
Of symphonic enterprise. The National Sym

ment In the Capital of the United States. It
began when DR.. Hans Kinder brought together
the original company of instrumentalists in $780,
He trained the players to work in a cooperative
spirit, striving always to reach the highest
standards of musical excellence. His successor,
Howard Mitchell, maintains the tradition thus
established The result is cultural institution
deserving of the generous support OF the whole
community.
Such sustenance naturally should be pro-
vided through the box office. The best practical
way to help the National Symphony Orchestra is
by purchasing tickets for the concerts it Offers
Therein lies the elemental principle of all demo-
cratic endeavor. Art which serves the public

applies to all the programs to follow.

the Board Of Education, in turning down
DR.. Cornings recommendation, and
thus ordering 90 children returned to
Lafayette, could consider itself to be
serving the interest OF any of the fol-
lowing: The educational program in the
District schools; the welfare Of the 900
odd children affected by such a move
(all In the school are affected when
looms are overcrowded); the taxpayers
who pay the bill for all the mneces-
sary remodeling; and last and appar-
emily Of little Importance, the health
and moral Of the teachers concerned.
The following facts know first hand:
Twenty-three teachers need more than
one tiny cubbyhole Of rest room con-
tanning two toilets. which is all they will
have left when the three additional
toilets and one lavatory are removed
from their present teachers room. This
room-to be dismantled-contains the
sink. stove and refrigerator, which en-
ables the teachers to have hot drinks
and healthful lunches. and to sit at
tables to eat in q relaxed atmosphere
for few minutes. The Lafayette par
ents, fully realizing that their efforts
and interest on behalf of the teachers
welfare is reflected in better service to
their children, spent much time,
thought. and money in making this
room beautiful. This same room also
serves the children more directly In nu-
merous ways-juSt to mention one-the
serving of hot cocoa to the patrol boys
on very bitter cold mornings.
What will happen now? The plumb
ing, q laundry tray and sink perma-
nently installed in a tile wall, must be
removed; cloakroom or lockers for
childrens wraps must be installed; q
blackboard put in: the teachers rest
room, partitioned from this room, must
be removed, including the plumbing
Then the principals Office, much
smaller in size and with no plumbing
facilities. must be confiscated for a
teachers room-if there is to be one.
Surely the principal of school with
such an enrolment as Lafayette needs
an Office, where conferences can be held
with parents, children or teachers. in
privacy.

The Nelson Story UnfoIds

Although there have been recurrent rumors
OF police corruption in connection with organized
gambling in Washington the indictment of high
level police officers for conspiracy in the racket
Is nonetheless shocking 1t is bad enough for
the man on beat to be accused of friendly
association with law violators; it is inestimably
worse when police inspector and detective
sergeant are charged with conspiring with others
to violate the laws they have sworn to enforce.
1t is only fair that the public suspend judg-
ment OF the officers until they have had their
day in court. Unfortunately, it is not easy for
some persons to avoid prejudgment, in view of
the Davis Crime Committees criticism of local
police laxity toward gamblers, of the Kefauver
committees revelations of bribery in other cities
and of the wholesale indictments of New York
police for protection pay-offs. All of these de-
velopmentS show that the real menace lies not
In gambling itself but in the evils which it
breeds. That is why vigorous enforcement of
laws against organized gambling is important to
clean government.
Police Inspector Bullock is charged with
visiting known and active numbers head
quarters in Prince Georges County and with
attending party given by other alleged con-
spirators named in the Indictment These
accusations are particularly serious because the
racketeers with whom the inspector allegedly
associated were according to the grand jury
engaged in gambling operations in Washington
as well as Maryland. Detective Sergeant Kirby
and former Detective Lowery are accused of
taking numbers slips to the Maryland head
quarters OF the ring and of acting as guards for
certain Of the operations It is of interest
although not necessarily pertinent to this case
that Inspector Bullock was transferred from
former precinct command because of what then
Police Chief Callahan called "unsavory connec-
tons"
OF lesser Importance locally, but of great
Interest to Prince Georges County, is the indict-
ment of Charles e. Nelson, the county's we'll
known gentleman farmer" and self -admitted
backer OF numbers syndicate. The naming of
Nelson was not unexpected, as the same grand
Jury previously had indicted him for lying about
his alleged gambling activities. Nelson's WIFE,
Mr.. and Mrs Robert Nowland of Alexandria
and numerous others also were indicted
The Nelson story, first revealed in part by
the OConor subcommittee of the Senate Crime
Committee, is far from complete. The Prince
Georges County grand Jury is conducting an
investigation of its own into the Nelson enter
prises and their alleged connection with county
law enforcement authorities in the past. Sheriff
Beal told the O'Conor committee that Nelson
had offered him bribe Of $4,000 month TO
permit Nelson and Sam Beard, former local
gambler, to operate without interference in the
county. The sheriff said Nelson assured him that
other officials In the past had been paid for
protection. This phase of the Nelson case ought
to be thoroughly explored by the county grand
3ury-in fairness to past officials as well as to
the general public.

By George Kennedy.

THE diplomatic correspondence that
l. preceded the termination of the
American ministry to Rome in 1867 is
interesting in the wake of the White
House announcement that such relations
are to be resumed.
As noted In the news stories of Gen.
Mark Clark's nomination as ambassa-
dor, the ministry was started in 1848
by President Polk. Then as now the
charge was made that it was to gain
the Catholic vote. President Polk noted
that the step was taken in "a just re-
gard for our commercial interests"
The representation was always one
sided. No nuncio or papal diplomat was
sent to this country. although the Vati-
can sounded out the possibilities.
Anti-Catholic feeling here was too
high. A visit of Msgr. Gaetano Bedini
in 1854 as personal representative Of
Plus TX led to his hanging in efigy In
Baltimore and to Maryland going
Know-Nothing in the presidential elec-
tion Of 1856-the only State to give its
electoral votes to that anti Catholic
party.
The instructions sent to Richard M.
Blatchford, minister at Rome in 1862,
by Lncoln's Secretary of State. William
Seward. pretty well limited him to vim
dicating the Governments course in the
Civil War and to wishing the Holy
Father health and happiness.
The instructions read In part:
"The first colonists in this country
were chiefly Protestants, who had not
merely recognized no ecclesiastical au-
thority of the Pope, but were very jealous
lest he might exert some ecclesiastical
influence here which would be followed
by an assumption of political power -.
1T was not seen that the political
power of the Catholic Church was a
purely foreign affair. constituting an
important part Of the political system of
the European continent. The opening of
our country as an asylum to men of all
religions. as we'll as Of all races. and
an extension of the trade of the Union,
in a short time brought with them
large masses of the faithful members of
that church E.
"Our country has not been slow to
learn that while religion is with these
masses, as it Is with others. matter of
conscience, and while the spiritual
authority of the head of their church
is cardinal article of their faith. which

'Correctinq' History

One Of the horrible realities OF totalitarian-
ism Is that 1t must be perfect. It must conform
to its own canons, its own arbitrary dogmas
Nothing can be allowed to happen beyond its
control. Even history necessarily must be "cor-
rected" to harmonic with the fixed philosophy of
the dictator group. The British novelist who
wrote under the pen name of George Orwell
brought this out in his 1884," published in 1949
Under Ingsoc and the Big Brother, he reported,
the Ministry of Truth ceaselessly was engaged
in making the past mutable. The daily newspa-
pers were reprinted for the ofcial files after they
had been corrected" by staff of faithful serv-
ants of the Party
But all other mediums of information like
wise were subjected to screening against
doctrinal error or factual deviation from the
prescribed formulas. Orwell's hero Winston
Smith, was human cog in the vast machine of
correction" He helped to standardize books,
magazines, films, sound tracks, photographs
"every kind of literature or Recommendation which
might conceivably hold any political or ideologi-
cal significance" The novelist explained: DAY
by day and almost minute by minute the past
was brought up to date" Thus the Partys pol
icies were justified, its prophecies fulfilled "Nor
was any item of news, or any expression of
opinion, which conf1icted with the needs of the
moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All
history was pallmpSeSt, Scraped clean and
reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary"
Every publication not corrected" was destroyed.
Thus truth was governed for expedient pur-
poses. The advantage to the Big Brother and
1ngsoc was obvious. They tolerated no compro-
mise with circumstance. Instead, they created
universal romanticism from which no deviation
was feasible.
In this manner totalitarianism triumphed.
The Age Of the Big Brother prevailed It mat
tered little that uniformity meant regimented
solitude and that independent thought was
crime subject to capital punishment. People who
read Orwell's book comforted themselves with
remembering that he was writer OF fiction Life,
they were sure, never would be corrected" by
any Ingsoc in their experience.
Then Joseph Stain took pen in hand-and
proved the novelist's forecast He did this very
easily, very simply, merely by correcting" the
Soviet Encyclopedia. In the 1948 edition Marshal
Tito of Jugoslavia was represented as hero, the
Hberator OF Belgrade. Now the 1851 edition ap-
pears, and Tito is described in it as a coward
and a renegade! The change symbolizes expe-
dent totalitarian conformity. Orwell saw 1t
coming.
