Still Life

Warm tropic fire OF oranges burns
against
Green fame of grapes In silvered
bloom:
Persintn1ons liUe as scarlet glo,Dino Goals
Light up blue ,ointer dusk ,pittin the
roonls
Lacquered vermilion of punoent tan
gerines,
Clear yello1D blaze OF lemons ren,em-
bering the sun;
Last island of light submerged IN deep
ening chill:
Already on the WindoD t0ebs OF ice
are spun.
Then suddenly the eUening lights spring
on, +e.s
The fire Is stirred once more against
the frost:
Within the bo1ol the colors leap and
fame again,
Singing that summer is not lost, not
eDer lost.

has to be guarded against. The surface never
again can be abused as 1t was in the careless
thirties. Meanwhile, other areas of Importance
need to be irrigated or drained. America cannot
afford to treat its agrarian inheritance without
regard to consequences. DR.. Bennett warns that
the security of our country depends ,pon what
the land will do for us, and the land will do only
what we help it to do. That is homely doctrine
perhaps, but it makes sense.

Peron the tJusticiuIist'

The railway strike in Buenos Aires
started Just few days before a similar
strike in the United States. and a few
days before President Truman had put
into effect the order of railroad opera
tionS under Army control. The Presi-
dent of Argentina. Gen. Juan D. Peron,
had taken the same step in order to
save the country and its workers from
the calamitous consequences that such
a stoppage would create in the public
services.
Notwithstanding this fact, some
American newspapers-the same Ones
that later praised the Truman measure
criticized Gen. Peron for having taken
such step, not suspecting that week
later President Truman would follow the
same rule.
When criticizing Peron they referred
to the "lack Of free press in Argentina"
think 1t timely to affirm that in Ar
gentina some newspapers censured the
government for putting the railroads
under army control, and these objections
show that free press is enjoyed under
constitutional guarantees.
The strike in Argentina came about
as the result of a directive which origi-
mated in a European Communist con-
gress, ordering that all transportation
systems be interfered with, in order to
sabotage the delivery Of essential prod
ucts to the countries fighting interna-
tional communism.
The maritime stoppage in the Port of
Buenos Aires few months ago was the
first of such strikes. England, Brazil.
Chile and other countries of Latin Amer
lea have had transport strikes, but both
stoppages in Buenos Aires were for po-
litical purposes. Neither group in Ar
gentina had asked for increases in wages.
BY it's doctrine of "justicialism." the
Argentine government granted consti-

No More Dust Bowl

The Dust Bowl is not dusty any more, and
there is little danger that it ever Will revert TO
the deplorable condition prevailing prior to the
campaign of reclamation started IN 1884 One
man-Dr. Hugh H. Bennett, chief OF the Y. s.
Soil Conservation Service-iS entitled to most OF
the credit for what has been accomplished He
was North Carolina boy, reared on badly
eroded farm. His father taught him to have an
affection for real dirt. When he was % in 1903
he came to work as laboratory assistant in the
Department of Agriculture. Now 48 years later,
he is 10 and eligible to retire-with the reclaimed
Dust Bowl as a monument to his successful
labors.
But Dr. Bennett has little patience with
monuments What he wants is plenty OF good
topsoil firmly attached to its base, on the farms
and ranches of the Nation The "long-range
program he has sponsored involves conservation
enterprises on 414,292 different pieces Of land,
adding up to 1885, 1863 acres in the Great Plains
sector of the Middle West between the Dakotas
and Texas. Enough already has been accom-
plished in the line of soil-saving so that he can
say the surface of the erstwhile Dust Bowl is
safe, even in the event of heavy new plowing and
planting under mobilization for national defense
on an all-out scale.
Dr. Bennett is optimistic because he believes
that the farmers now know what to do to pre-
vent their dirt from blowing away. They have
anticipated such disasters and provided against
them by improved systems of breaking and shap-
ing the ground and through careful planting of
grass to keep the cover in place regardless CT
how hard the wind may blow. The Dust Bowl
has been fastened down with roots ard stubble
Most of it has been richly productive in recent
years Bumper crops were reaped between 1910
and 1945. This year there may be smaller pro-
duction due to the dryness of the past three or
four months. But no dust storms worthy OF the
name are expected
However, the Great Plains always must be
watched. Human mismanagement of their soil

Christmas cards to Mrs. Lurlyne Norton.

Answer on Prince Georges

referendum would serve 40 useful
purpose for the Prince Georges Citi-
zen" who wrote a letter printed in The
Star of February 10, because he probably
would know little more about what he
was voting for than he did in last No.
vember's election.
He states that the Republican vote
in the last election was not for either
of these issues. I direct his attention
to the Republican platform adopted
June 10. 1850, and thoroughly adver-
tised during the campaign. The first
two planks were:
l. That a complete governmental sur
vey be conducted by an independent
agency not connected or in any way
affiliated with either political party;
that its findings be made public. and
that public hearings be held before
taking final action on recommenda
tionS.
2. That the county should proceed to
repeal the Sothoron Act, the measure
recognizing the county government.
and to engage a county manager not
named from personnel Of the Board Of
County Commissioners but chosen 'for
his capabilities alone"
If Prince Georges Citizen were keep
Evening star., 1951-02-26

ing himself informed so that he could
vote intelligently, he would know that
the bill to provide county manager
is being drawn up by his elected repre-
sentatives to the State legislature, not
by civic groups-and further, that the
bill probably will provide for referen-
dunn on this issue.

A week-long counter often

lapsed as they are reported to
be retreating northWard, aban-
doning huge quantities of
equipment. The communists
suffered a major defeat in
west central Korea where Al

miles without opposition.
Allied officers say that
seven communist divisions
were shattered. In the noun
famous sector where some
communists tried to infiltrate
the UN lines during a blizzard
they were being sought out by
the UN troops.
The communists appear to
have lost their fight elsewhere
in Korea. They abandoned a
sector near the Han River for
which they had fought stub
