scandals drew sportsmen's and ed
ucators' attention to the emphasis
being placed on collegiate sport and
brought about a re-examination of
athletics. Georgetown University
dropped football, and the Big Seven
banned participation by it's MEM
bers In postseason events. Sports
might not be so hectic in 1852, but
the indications were they would be
cleaner.
The World Series-always big
news-was copped again by the
New York Yankees, who later lost
their great star, Joe DiMaggio,
when he decided to retire from
baseball. The windup of the reg
ular season was marked by a New
York Giants pennant rush, which
saw the Giants catch up to the
Brooklyn Dodgers and then win
the pennant in a history making
finale to a three-game playof.
Meanwhile, the major league club
owners sacked Commissioner Happy
Chandler and installed National
League President Ford Frick in
baseball's top job.
Locally, the University of Mary
land fielded a top football team
and played the full season without
a defeat or a tie to win a Sugar
Bowl bid against unbeaten, united
Tennessee.
In boxing, Jersey Joe Wolcott, 81,
knocked out Ezzard Charles to be-
come the Oldest heavyweight title
winner in history, and in the mid
dleweight field, Sugar Ray Robinson
lost his title in an upset to Randy
Turpin. Then, two months later in
return match, Robinson won the
title back.
An even more dramatic comeback
in sports was made by Ben Hogan,
who two years ago almost lost his
life in an automobile accident.
The plucky golfer, back at peak
strength, won the National Open
golf championship for the third
time, thereby becoming the third
man in history to take the title

Government News

Taxes were higher, cost of living
was up, and things would get worse
before they would get any better.
That was the gloomy diagnosis
and prognosis at the end of 1851.
The man who paid $40 in taxes at
the first of the year was paying
over $11 as 1851 ended. And
where, at New Years Day 1851 a
package would have cost him 81,
the same goods at Christmastime

Americans, who were Tightening
their belts for an increased defense
effort, heard meanwhile that re-

What Next?

The old year had not been happy
and the prospects for the new one
were hardly bright.
In the minds of most men, the
worst that could happen would be
global war of an extent and
ferocity never before experienced
and seldom Imagined. The best
that could happen would be
complete reversal of international.
trends and a. return to peace such
as the world had not really known
for 40 years. The one alternative
seemed too horrible to contemplate:
the other, too good to be true.
AS 1852 drew near, the world
waited, hardly daring to hope for
more than a Year of the Not-So.

hapless Americans made news.
Robert A. Vogeler, held II months
in Hungarian Jail as an Ameri-
can spy, was sreleased at the Austro-
Hungarian border, and almost
simultaneously, Associated Press
Correspondent William N. Oats
was imprisoned in Prague on spy
charges. Late in the year, four
flyers whose military plane had
wandered off course were forced
down and jailed in Hungary-also
on the same old spy charges. Fined
$4,000 each, they were released at
years end after the United States
paid their ransom to Hungary.
AS the flyers walked out to free
dom, Americans awaited retaliation
that wasn't long in coming. The
State Department closed down
Hungary's two consulates in this
country and forbade Americans
hereafter to travel in the Commu-
mist puppet state.
Dictatorship and oppression were
not solely Russian property in 1851.
President Peron and his Vice Pres
ident wife Eva were reelected last
fall after uprisings that had a
strangely staged look. Earlier in
the year, the Perons had suppressed
the last vestige of free press by
closing down the old and highly
respected newspaper, La Prensa.
After it's editor, Gainza Paz, fled
Argentina, La Prensa was reopened
but this time as government
mouthpiece.
In San Francisco, an old nation
was welcomed back into the world
family in 1851 and in Africa new
one was brought into being. The
old country was Japan, which
signed an unusually mild treaty of
peace at a conference arranged by
Americas John Foster Dulles and
stage-managed by Secretary of
State Acheson to avoid-success-
fully, as it turned out-disruptive
efforts by the Soviets. The new
nation was Libya, creature of the
United Nations, formed out of pre-
war colonies of the defunct Italian
empire.
Tito Prospers
Tito, the anti-Stalin Communist
dictator of Yugoslavia, continued
to thrive in 1851 despite the evident

National News

The telegraph desk of a daily
newspaper-where news comes in
from all over the United States
was a bleak place last year, not for
dearth of news, but for the un-
happy quality of it.
Half million people were home
less and incalculable damage was
done in the Kansas floods Of last
spring. A race riot in Cicero, Ill,
shocked Americans who had begun
to think the bad old days of bigotry
and Judge Lynch were a thing Of
the past. A United Airliner crashed
in~the Rockies, killing so. A non
scheduled plane dived into a ravine
in Elizabeth, N. j., with death toll
of Sc. Eighty-five persons died in
a train wreck near Woodbridge,
N. j. A mine explosions in Illinois
took the lives of 119 men and spared
only one.

World News

The Korean war and the other
strife that beset mankind were in
a class by themselves. But there
were other stories the world over
that made big news in 1851.
In England, as autumn began,
Conservatives and Laborites joined
the battle for control of the Brit
ish government. For the first time
in six years, Socialist rule was re-
pudiated, and Winston Churchill,
Britain's wartime Prime Minister,
returned to power. But the mar
row victory gained by Mr.. Churchill
left him with hatful of Socialist
programs to carry out, and har-
rowing winter through which he
would have to guide the destinies
of Britain.
Across the Channel, Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower was hard at work,
shaping the amorphous forces of
the North Atlantic treaty nations
into an effective anti Communist
fighting body. How well he would
succeed depended on many i'm
ponderables, not all of them con-
trolled by the Soviets. And Gen.
Eisenhower, while primarily a
world news figure in 1851, was
shaping up willy -nilly as major
national figure in the American
presidential year 1852

The Washington Area

In the District, voteleSs citizenry
took two of its grievances to the
courts, indicating a possible future
course for Washingtonians seeking
redress. In one case, representa-
tives of citizens associations won
a million dollar rebate from the gas
company after defeating a rate in
crease in the courts. In the other,
members of transit riders group
won a decision against the forced
listening aspects of radio broad
casts in Capital Transit cars.
The gas rate case had an un-
expected aftermath. The court
awarded large fee out of the re-
bate to the individuals who fought
the case against the gas company
and this award split the Federation
of Citizens Associations over the
propriety of taking a fee under such
circumstances.

Supt. Robert j. Barrett and the
appointment of Inspector Robert v.
Murray to succeed him and the
indictment of Maryland Horse
Breeder Charles Nelson and three
District policemen on charges of
conspiracy to violate the gambling
laws.
AS Washington had grown over
the years, its problems had kept
pace with its growth. One of the
biggest was the heavy traffic at
National Airport, which resulted in
decision to locate an alternate
airport at Burke, Va, II miles from
the District. The announcement
caused complaints from Virginia.

paper-and from Maryland-which
didn't.

close in Virginia when seven

of Colored People, who contended
that similar punishment would not
have been meted out to white men.

NINETEEN FIFTY ONE, in the
IN picturesque style of the Chi
nese calendar, was the Year of the
Hare. WeSterners had no name
for it, of course-just a number
but as far as the West was con-
cerned, 1851 could easily have been
the Year of the Ill Wind.
Much had happened in the 8,766
hours it took the earth to make its
half-billion-mile sweep around the
sun. And, taking the bitter with
the sweet, the taste left in the
worlds mouth by 1851 was more
like gall than honey.
The ill wind had blown almost
continually-and it had blown
almost nobody good. Even the men
in the Kremlin, who had the most
to gain from the sufferings of the
rest of mankind, had not prospered
to any great extent. Their best
laid plans had been largely unful-
filled; they had prevented the rest
of the world from experiencing
peace and contentment without
really finding any themselves.
The Year of the Ill Wind had
been one of death. It had opened
the tomb for more than it's share
of victims in wars and cataStropheS.
A volcano that ravaged a Philip
pine island and flood that inun-
dated Americas Midwestern plains
seemed hardly more than symp-
toms-the eruptions and f1uxes
that plagued an ailing world.
In the book of years, 1851 was a
curio. In the midst Of war, there
had been a dove of peace. But the
dove hardly could have been said
to be lowering; actually, it seemed
to be hanging In a state of sus-
pended animation from the ridge
pole of a tent at a crossroads in
Korea.

1t captured the public attention to
an extent unequaled in 1851. The
sight of the 71-year-old general
speaking to joint meeting of Con-
gress was brought unforgettably to
millions by television. The new
medium was excelling even its eff
forts of the year before, when it
covered the United Nations debate
on Korea.
The congressional inquiry into
the Macarthur firing was not tele-
cast, of course; much of the testi-
mony before it was secret. But
the hearings and the Great Debate
were followed more closely by more
people than almost any event in
recent years.
If the Macarthur story was
televiSion triumph, so was the Ke-
fauver investigation into organized
crime in interstate commerce. This
inquiry, which brought the public
face to face with gangsters for the
first time, skyrocketed it's chief
counsel, Rudolph HALEY, into high
Office in New York City, and
brought its hitherto obscure chair
man, Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee, into prominence as a
possible Democratic presidential or
vice presidential candidate.
Other ScondoIs. Too
The crime inquiry brought into
the open only one of many scan
dals to flabbergast the public in
1851. Corruption in Government
RFC, the Internal Revenue Bureau,
the Justice Department-was a
major topic of conversation in the
closing months of the year. And
Senator Mccarthy continued his
battle against alleged Communist
elements in the State Department.
In the closing days Of the year, he
voiced approval of top loyalty
boards decision to fire one of his
principal targets, John Stewart
Service.
The outlook for 1852 was for even
more excitement in Washington
than in 1851. The coming years
activities would be overlaid-even
more than 1951's-with the poll
ticking that goes on in every pres
idential election year.

relative peace-but peace OF an un-
easy sort. In Iran, where a ma
tionalist government was flexing its
muscles, the British had been
kicked out of some of the worlds
richest oil country. In Egypt, ef-
forts were being made to run the
British out of the Suez Canal zone.
Native unrest was rampant in the
French colonies in Africa. Paki-
stan and India were quarreling over
the rich vale of Kashmir. The
Huks' uprisings in the Philippines,
while abated, were still a threat to
peace.
And all along the thousands of
miles where the iron curtain
touches free soil, the drums of war
were beating an accompaniment
to a Russian song of peace.
Evening star., 1951-12-30
War and Peace

War, in 1851, had been of some
thing less than the all-out variety,
though this fact was not apparent
to the millions who, across the tired,
SCARED continent of Asia, were
locked In combat.
Korea was the big battle, of
course, but not the only one in the
struggle between the free world
and the enslaved one. There were
battles between the French and
the Communists in Indo-China and
a wearing struggle between the
British and Red irregulars in
Malaga. Essentially, all were
peripheral wars, involving not the
homelands of the big protagonists,
but the buffer areas where conflicts
of interest between Communists
and freemen set up intolerable
frictions.
The wars were costly in men and
treasure for both the great democ
racies and the Communist puppets
which were doing Russia's bidding
on the battlefield. For America
alone, the cost of a years war in
Korea had been II 900 known dead,
other thousands missing and $4,000
wounded. Chinese Communists and
North Koreans had lost many times
this number, fact which-while
hardly consoling to bereaved Amer
icans-was a sign that the West
still held the upper hand on the
war-torn peninsula.
Gesture From MoIik
For the first six months of 1851,
the war in Korea had ragged. Then,
at hardly more than a gesture
from a man who would have in
sisted that he was a disinterested
party, the war Simmered down to
it's current limited state. The man
was Jakob Malik, who in 1850 had
led communism's obstructive efforts
against peace in Korea.
Mr.. Malik, using a U. N. radio
program as sounding board, sug-
geSted that a peaceful settlement
might be obtained If the opposing
sides would face each other over
conference table.
The peace meetings opened six
months ago at Kaesong, a town
Just outside the Red lines and just
south of the 38th Parallel. Later
they were moved to the crossroads
of Panmunjom where, for the rest
of 1851, they dragged YEARLY on.
The suspicion of each side regard
ing the motives of the other un-
doubtedly caused delay in effecting
an armistice; at any rate, as the
last days of 1851 wore on, there
seemed little hope for peace before
we'll into the new year.
Just before Christmas, a list of
prisoners had been handed to the
U. N. forces by the Reds. It con-
tained about 5000 American names
out of nearly 1000 Americans
listed as missing. To the family
of Maj. Gen. William F. Dean and
to some 5000 others, the news was
the best Christmas gift ever. But
to about 5000 families, the list
meant only these alternatives: To
give loved ones up for dead, or to
go on hoping-now more than ever
before, against hope-that kinsmen
we're alive.
Atrocity Story
Out of the Korean war last month
came a shocking story which even
now is not in focus: The story of
atrocities committed against Allied
prisoners by Communist troops
Estimates of the number of atroci-
ties ran as high as 5000. Ameri-
cans asked themselves when the
prisoner lists came out: How many
of the missing names are those OF
men who were lined up and shot
in the back? It was unlikely that
any one would ever know.
