Keep in mind that maple leaves make

Broad-leaved eyergreens, such as

them, we get away from tiny portion

'Louthsome Crime

The guilty verdict which has been returned
by New York jury against three Americans in
this country's first atomic espionage trial will not
undo the damage they have done
These people-Julius Rosenberg, his wife
Ethel, and Morton Sobell-were parties to a sue
cessful conspiracy to steal vital secrets of the
Nagasaki atomic bomb and hand them over to
the Russians. This act of betrayal which the
presiding Judge appropriately described as a
"loathsome" crime, was highly damaging to the
United States and correspondingly helpful to our
enemies in the Kremlin. All that can be done
now is to impose severe punishment on the con-
victed traitors, and that assuredly will be done
No sympathy need be wasted on this trio.
They were not ignorant victims of a harsh en-
vironment. Quite the contrary. They were
highly educated at public expense, and brilliant
careers were theirs for the asking. Instead, for
malignant motives of their own, these three chose
the role of traitors. Any sentence that is given
them will not be too severe.

Frightened Children

To most youngsters of seven or eight the

all of its horrors has moved into the living

The case of seven-y -year-old Jackie, which is

Richmond TimeS-Dispatch. Jackie lives in the
Hampton Roads area, where there is consider
able military activity, and his fear of war has
become an unbalancing obsession. When the
boys condition became so bad that he would
not go to school after combat plane had passed
over the house, his mother brought him to the
Memorial Guidance Clinic in Richmond. Dr.
William H. Kelly, the director, took over the case
He found that Jackie's mental State had
been aggravated by bombing drill at school, a
booklet on atomic survival and the constant
watching of war scenes on television.
Jackie's case was described as extreme. But
Dr. Kelly said he had been seeing an increasing
number of children, generally ranging in age
from six to eight, whose fears had been abnor-
mally excited by talk and scenes of war, the
A-bomb, etc. For the guidance of parents whose
children are affected in this way, the child psy-

The Saving Of Blair House

emlgrant communities of LebaneSe here
and in South America. Will the new
elections this April % be free and
fair, unmarked by the coercion, fraud,
ballot -stufflng and figure juggling that
blackened May Is, 1947? Will these new
elections be free and honest so that they
will bring into office men who really
represent the will of the democratic and
intelligent people of Lebanon?
II the election in truth is honest,
Lebanon's social and economic life will
regain their healthy democratic char
acter. Lebanon's people will once more
be free men. breathing a democratic
atmosphere. Their self confidence and
freedom restored. they will be able and
eager to play their part in the defense
and preservation of their own freedom
and the worlds.
We suggest in all sincerity that the
Lebanese elections of this spring are
no small, parochial affair. They are
test case for democracy in the Middle
East. and their significance goes be-
yond the borders of the Middle East.
We trust that the American press, the
American Government and its diplo-
matte representatives in the East will
use all their great moral influence to the
end that the present government OF
Lebanon shall conduct the Forthcoming
elections in the manner typical of a
true democracy.
In asking for this interest and this
attention. we plead not only for Leb-
anon's future as free and noble land,
but for the advancement of world
peace and freedom to which a demo
cratic Lebanon can, we are convinced,
make valuable contribution.

Spring cleanup time, and in the fall
These are the two orgies of raking
leaves. People rake leaves who never
turn hand in the yard at any other
time. They rake fiendishly. getting every
one. Not a leaf escapes them. Then
they wonder what to do with them. The
idea of burning them is not hard to
understand It really does get rid of
them. leaving an ash which is not bad
fertilizer, in itself.
So perhaps it is no wonder that most
persons, after raking, burn.

Lebunese Elections

The experience of the last half year
has made it painfully clear that the
democraC.eS will not easily find able
and dependable allies among the coun-
tries of the Middle East To ward Off
aggression, nations must have inner
strength and good morale. Their peo-
pie will resist foreign domination and
alien ideologies only If they themselves
are free and secure. And it is no secret
that by this yardstick the nations of
the Middle East do not measure up
well. There has been only one notable
exception. And that exception, the
small but strategic land of Lebanon.
is now threatened by grave danger
We, as group Of Lebanese Ameri-
cans, feel that it is our duty to call
the attention of our fellow Americans
to the present crisis in Lebanon, and
to the need for American concern with
the manner in which the coming Leb-
anese national elections will be con-
Quoted.
Predominantly Christian in popula-
ton and tradition. Lebanon has been
a truly tolerant and democratic center
in the Middle East, the refuge of all
prosecuted minoritieS, Middle East
country with Western orientation and
culture, with no feudal land system
and with almost no illiteracy. 1t is
not easy to preserve distinct. demo-
cratic tradition in region still CROP
ing it's way out of feudalism. Political
life in Lebanon today has been gravely
corrupted. and the entire life of the
land suffers from governmental in
efficiency. nepotism. dishonesty and
disregard for the rights and freedom
of the press and the population.
The root of these ills is the simple
fact that the present government does
not consist of representatives chosen
by the will of the people in free ballot
ing, but rather of men swept into Of
flee in one OF the most fraudulent
elections staged anywhere outside the
Iron Curtain countries. The day of
those elections. May 25, 1947, is a by
word among Lebanese everywhere, one
of the most shameful days in Lebanese
history 1t has degraded and broken
the spirit and morale of the people;
it has perverted the country's foreign
