From the hilltops the moving path
finders of the centuries have scanned
the horizons with an Unsuitable curl
osity. In all the history of exploration
and discovery it has been what Kipling
called the everlasting whisper" to
which man has responded, telling him
about what lay behind the ranges, "lost.
and waiting for you. Col"
All, the lure and fascination of what
awaits there on the far horizon, the
witchery and the mystery of the
horizon! A vast horizon is the constant
foe OF parochialism and provincialism.
Blessed is the church which encourages
its people to row out of the little coves
Of traditionaliSm and to pull for the
far horizon with the oars of a personal
faith! Says a great spiritual leader of
our generation: when I was years
old, in little Baptist church in
small Eastern village. I heard pres
entation of the world field, so thrilling,
that then and there I made up my
mind to be a foreign missionary. That
little church stood for type Of sectar-
ianism that I could not for a moment
consent to now. But, at least it was
big enough to keep map of the world
before the eyes Of its people" It was
there that, as little lad, he was taught
to pull for the horizon.
From the time of Abraham the motto
of true religion has been the same as
that which came from God to the old
patriarch: Get thee out!" Abraham
left the comfort and security of Ur Of
the Chaldees to walk with God where
there were no trails toward the distant
horizon. History has been made by adj
venturers who have cried: Pull for the
horizon!"

BY Frederick Brown Harris
Minister, Foundry Methodist Church;
Chaplain, United States Senate.

The Order Of the Sons Of Abraham
have made the history Of religion, begin
ming with their founder and going on
up through the prophets, on and up,
until there comes that utterly reckless
innovator, Jesus of Nazareth, who an
nounces in a perfectly scandalous way:
'Ye have heard 1t said of old-but / say
unto you" The greatest of adventures
have been those who have heard His
Follow Me" and have left all, as pill
grims Of the Way.
Some years ago, an outstanding mis-
sionary, home on furlough, was travel
ing to a family reunion in an Eastern
State when tragic accident ended his
earthly career. On the train, just before
the crash which SO suddenly snuffed
out his mortal life, he had been re-
deeming the time by writing poem.
Just as the speeding train plunged for
ward to the fatal collision he had COM
pleted three stanzas Of it and had jotted
down the first lines Of two other verses
which never were to be completed. Here
are the three that he wrote just before
his working day ended:
Let me die working,
Still tackling plans unfinished, tasks
undone,
Clean to its end swift may my race be
run.
No tagging steps. no faltering, no shirk-
Let me die working.
Let me die thinking,
Let me fare forth still with an open
mind,
Fresh secrets to unfold, new truths to
find,
My soul undimmed, alert, no question
blinking.
Let me die thinking.
Let me die laughing,
No signing DER past sins; they are for
given.
Spilled on the earth are all the joys Of
heaven.
The wine of life. the cup Of mirth still
quaf1ng,
Let me die laughing"
And the verses not finished when the
sudden summons came had been COM
menced thus LET me die giving, let me
die aspiring" What swan song to pen
on life's last morning! Changing the
word Idle" to Give" as we think of
our own span of days which may remain,
shall we resolve: Let me live working.
Let me live thinking. Let me live laugh
ing. Let me live giving. Let me live
aspiring. The valedictory verses we'll
might be called Pulling for the Hori-
Zon."

opinion by E. S. Martin
originally published in Harper's Weekly,
as follows: There is talk among artists
and persons interested in art of the
establishment in Washington of an
American national gallery which shall
do for this country what the National
Gallery does in London and the Louvre
in Paris. In spite of the fact that the
American Capital is not the American

Donohue Makes q Hit

Commissioner Joseph Donohue is ap-
parently an answer to the civic workers
prayer. He is very intelligent and re-
ceptive and Is genuinely interested in
human welfare in general, and in the
District of Columbia in particular, which
makes it easy for him to see the
necessity and advantage of progressive
steps which should be taken to bring
about better living.
He has already made conscientious
and comprehensive survey of many prob
lens here. and if only given cooperation
by citizens, may be effectively instru-
mental in bringing about some of the
many improvements which people of
the District have been trying to ac-
complish for years.
It is up to the citizens of Washington
to shed their apathy from years Of futile
struggling, and get out and pull with
him!

Eniwetok and the KremIin

Along with the rest of us-but probably with
much more intensitv-the men of the Krenlin
must be wondering about the real meaning OF
the latest guarded announcement by the Atomic
Energy Commission. The biggest fact in the
announcement is that new series OF super
secret tests has been successfully carried out
at Eniwetok Atoll in the far Pacific and that the
tests Included experiments contributing 10
thermometer weapons research"
AS used by the Acc, the phrase "thermo-
nuclear weapons" refers to the hydrogen bomb
the so-caled "hell bomb" Accordingly, since
the Eniwetok tests have been successfully" COM
pleted and since they involved among other
things, experiments contributing" to research
having to do with the development OF such a
bomb, it seems reasonable to assume that the
United States has made significant progress
perhaps Uery significant progress-toWard the
production of weapon whose destructive FORCE
theoretically at least could be at least thousand
times more terrible than the awesome destroyer
that shattered Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Coming on the heels of the "nuclear deto-
nations" that were set off last January and
February in Nevada etonations" that may we'll
have been related to the development of atomic
artillery shells or other revolutionary A-weapons
far in advance of the "old-fashioned" Hiroshima
Nagasaki types-this latest Eniwetok news can
hardly fail to excite the interest of the Kremlin's
bigwigs Indeed, that states the case mildly,
for the probability is that they are filled with
the keenest kind of curiosity, and perhaps with
more than a little anxiety. What are the Ameri-
cans up to? How far ahead are they? Have they
got something that negates the value Of huge
Red land armies or knocks Soviet strategical
plans into cooked hat?
Like the rest of us-unless their spies have
the secret facts already, which seems extremely
doubtful-Russia's rulers can only speculate.
All they can be sure of is that the Acc announce
ment bears upon something decidedly important
in terms of their position vis-a-vis ours in the
grim nuclear ornaments race. Is it too much
to hope that they may be sobered enough to
start reconsidering their veto of effective world
control of the atom? As far as mans fate is
concerned, the need for such control becomes
more pressing with each passing day.

Get a Final Ruling

Four judges now have stated their views with
respect to the legality of the "lost statutes"
forbidding racial discrimination in District
restaurants, bars, etc. And they are about as
far apart as it is possible for judges to be.
The statutes - really regulations - were
adopted by the short-lived Legislative Assembly
of the District in 1872 and 1873. Their obvious
purpose was to strike down segregation and
other forms of discrimination in such places as
restaurants. Several attempts at enforcement
failed in 1872, however, and, until last year,
there had been no further effort to enforce them.
Actually the regulations have not even appeared
in the code of laws for so years.
Last year several Negroes demanded and
were refused service in restaurant. A test
case was taken into court by the District author
ities and Municipal Judge Myers ruled that the
regulations had been repealed by implication in
subsequent congressional enactments.
The Municipal Court of Appeals now has
spoken Chief Judge Cayton thinks the regula-
lions were valid when adopted and that they
are still in force. Associate Judge Clagett thinks
that the enactment of 1872 was repealed by the
enactment of 1878, but that the latter remains
valid and enforceable. Associate Judge Hood
thinks both enactments are and were invalid
because they amounted to civil rights legislation
"rising to higher plane or dignity than mere
regulation of restaurants and other places Of
public entertainment" His point is that the
Legislative Assembly had power to adopt mere
police regulations, but could not enact anything
in the nature of general legislation.
The immediate effect of this ruling Is to
sustain the legality of the 1873 enactment 1t
has been announced, however, that the case
will be taken to the United States Court OF
Appeals, and Corporation Counsel West has said
that he will not attempt to enforce the regula-
ton until that higher court has acted.
This is the proper attitude. The Star does
not believe that Negroes should be denied service
in restaurants merely because they are Negroes
But 7S-year-o enactment by discredited
legislative body, an enactment which could not
be and was not enforced in the Washington OF
that day. is poor instrument for achieving
this reform. It should not be used until there
has been final ruling as to its validity.

No Veto on Japan

The men of the Kremlin should have no
trouble understanding the American reply to
their May note proposing Big Four Pacific
conference to work out japanese peace treaty.
The reply, though lengthy, is clear and incisve
In effect, it tells the Russians that they are
wasting their time with their repetitious efforts
to stall what is being done by the United States
and lke-minded nations to make the treaty
reality at the earliest possible date.
AS matters stand, we, the British, the Aus
tralians and numerous others still technically at
war with Japan have made such great progress
toward an agreement on treaty terms that the
treaty itself may be ready for signing within
the next few months. What the Russians have
proposed is that all this progress should now be
brushed aside and the whole project turned over
to meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Britain,
the United States the Soviet Union and-guess
who?-Communist China. In other words, what
they want is an opportunity to veto what has
been accomplished so far and block japanese
settlement just as they have blocked settlements
for Germany and Austria.
In defense of its proposal, the Kremlin has
advanced lot of stale arguments whose spe-
ciousness has been effectively emphasized by our
point-by-point American reply. Among other
things, in reference to letting Red China have
voice In a Japanese treaty, the reply makes the
singing but proper observation that "the United
States does not seek guidance from convicted
aggressor." Further, in answer to the Soviet
suggestion that Japan should make no security
arrangements with us, but should rely only on
its own defenses in the future our note quotes the
great Stain himself as saying that it would be
"conniving with aggression" for nations to follow
the policy of "let each country defend itself"
No matter how the Moscow propagandists
may inveigh against all this, what remains I'M

States, Britain and all the other cooperating
powers to conclude a good treaty with Japan
regardless of Soviet objections AS our note en-
phaszes, nothing would be more welcome than
the Kremlin's participation not on its own
terms If it sincerely wishes to take part it will
have to reconcile itself to Japanese peace set

ence, but also the security Of the free world in

Gen. Macarthur been permitted to do

Military Government?

Recent events have indicated rather
clearly that strategic decisions cannot be
made by people who have never made a
study of strategy-particularly military
strategy. The unlearned layman is at
loss on what to decide when faced with
the issue OF making decision on ma
t1onal strategy. Consequently the Ameri-
can citizen today is experiencing a hor-
rible fear that his country is needlessly
losing the struggle for power between
the free world and the totalitarian
East.
No one at the head of our state, the
President or Congress, is capable Of
making sound decision.
In desperation, the citizen looks for a
man who knows strategy. who has
studied it. and who has been successful
in his own decisions. The names of Mac
Arthur, Eisenhower, Marshall, Bradley
and other soldiers keep coming up. These
men have attended schools all their lives
in the study Of military strategy. These
men may differ on plan to stop expan-
sion Of the Soviet Union. but whatever
the plan, II executed vigorously, it will
have chance for success. The people
know this and they will continually de-
mand competent man such as these
to be their leader and President until
peace again reigns on this earth. But
until they get that man, fear shall gnaw
at their hearts.
No civilian can come up with plan,
a sound, long-reaching plan. that fol-
lows the first concept of strategy-the
offensive.
Any general knows. as well as I who
have studied it, the first principle of war
is the offensive. The day we take 1t,
Russia must perforce be on the defensive.
1t is our only chance to avert war. It is
our only chance to win, II it comes But
until then, fear will govern the hearts
OF Americans. T. X. j.

PIeu for Western Market

1t is earnestly hoped that, with the
present scarcity of essential building
materials, the National Production
Authority will not consent to the pro-
posal to destroy the old Western Market
building at 21st and K streets NV. and
lease this publicly owned site to COM
mercial interests for the erection of
parking garage
The old Western Market structure is
one of the cherished historic landmarks
of old Washington and one to be pre-
served. Why can't there be action taken
to protect this old building and other
historic structures in the District? Can
we depend on the National Council for
Historic Sites and Buildings to take
action? Charles Latimer Grigsby.
