Congress and UNIT

Chances of enactment at this session Of
Congress of any effective universal military
training legislation are fading fast. Even though
nothing is done before adjournment to set UP
q training program, legislators still tell their
constituents that Congress adopted UNIT legis-
lation. They will be right, in a sense, but the
statement will be misleading to those who believe
that all young men should be trained to defend
themselves and their country in this period OF
world unrest.
1t is misleading because the so-called UNIT
legislation passed by Congress last June was only
device to stall off fortnight action on the con-
troversal issue. That legislation did not institute
universal military training. 1t merely set up
another commission to study the subject and re-
port to Congress within four months. The four
months will be up on october 20 next. The
commission is not yet ready to make its recon-
mendations for specific legislation to start a
UNIT program. Even If its report were submit
ted Immediately, however, there would be little
opportunity for Congress to consider the recon-
mendations before adjournment tentatively
planned for October1. Nor Is there much likeli-

or idea starts, and then they try to
keep up with that sentence and idea.
There Is usually a short heSitancy
about such persons in answering ques-
tions. or taking up the conversational
ball and keeping it rolling.
Evidently this moment of hesitancy
is to make sure that they have the idea
correctly. Their reflexes are not so swift
as those of normal hearers.
By a combination of lip reading (and
there are lip reading classes) and the
proper use Of modern aid, much that
formerly was lost can be held. Above
all, the person is, in sense, saved from
himself.
The deafened person crawls into his
shell, as it were, and this is bad for
him and for others, especially for those
close to him, who must put up with
him the most.
In "P. S." to the above note, the
writer said that the friend had a huge
hearing aid. with a very large battery,
and microphone on long cord, which
was held in the hand, and directed
as needed.
He said she presented a pretty pic
ture, as she sat there, and that the
battery was covered with case of her
own devising, made of the same material
as her dresses, and varied with the cos
tune Of the dayl Women. he said, Just
have more sense than men.

Economy Opportunity Muffed

Congress talks voluby about economy in
governmental xpenditures-except when bene-
fits for veterans of the armed forces are con-
overriding of the Presidents veto on special pen
sions for veterans disabled after they have left
military service. Although this bill will cost
. nearly SIT million year now and according to
a presidential estimate some $400 million so
years hence, no voice was raised in the Senate
against it and only nine votes we're cast in favor
of sustaining the veto. Since the House pre-
vously had voted overwhelmingly to override
the veto, the bill now becomes law.
Mr.. Truman stated a sound ground for OPP
posing this legislation. 1t is discriminatory, he
said, in that it would bestow special monetary
benefits on certain civilians who have worn q
military uniform, while denying similar benefits
to those who have had no military service
although they may have rendered invaluable aid
to the Nation in other capacities The pensions
would have no relation to disabilities incurred in
combat with an enemy. An automobile accident
could be the cause or the collapse of a grand
stand at a ball game.
The President made it plain that he favors
benefits for veterans wounded or otherwise dis
abled in action. But he rightly objected to
legislation ct this time comforting additional
benefits on veterans for disabilities not related
to military service Congress has muffed good
opportunity to show the country that 1t believes
In even-handed economy regardless of pressure
groups.

They Knew They Were In q War

There is regulation which permits inscrib
ing on headstones in Arlington National Cemetery
the war in which the soldier sailor or airman
rendered service to his country. Yet the head
stones being placed over the graves of men who
died in Korea are devoid of any reference to
place of death or place of service. The regula-
ton says war" and war" 1t must be in Korea
in the strictest legal sense before the headstones
OF those who fought in Korea can be suitably
inscribed, it was explained at the Pentagon The
regulation as thus interpreted obviously is out
moded and an affront to those, who sacrificed their
lives In Korea in warfare as real as any in which
soldiers of the United States ever have been
engaged If the rule cannot be changed by
administrative edict, 1t should be changed by
act Of Congress-and promptly.

The person who pretends not to be
deaf, when he is, tends to build up
pathological personality.
He is driven inward, and becomes a.
sort of recluSe in his own home.
Lip reading may help, but many per-
sons talk with almost closed mouths,
with little movement of the lips. and
they may turn away at the key word.
1t seems that there is sort Of inn
portant or key word in every sentence.
and that missing this, the listener misses
the whole thing.
Most OF us with ears never suspect
anything like that.
We take the words as they come. and
do not suspect that one of them is
ordinarily more important than the
others.
But deaf persons say that the key
word is so necessary to them, especially
in lip reading, that If they do not get

By james Waldo Fowcett

nR. HERBERT PUTNAM, librarian
IL emeritus of Congress, is 80 years of
age today, but he has run away from a
celebration planned by his friends Par
ties are embarrassing to "the dean of all
bookmen," and he chose to avoid the
proposed affair by quietly leaving the
city. Perhaps decade hence he may
agree to a formal observance Of his
centenary, but If so 1t will not be with
out struggle.
Dr. Putnam is modest and shy by
nature, possibly because he was the 10th
of the IL children of George Palmer
and Victorine Haven Putnam. He was
the littlest boy in one of the royal"
families Of America, the least conse-
quential member of dynasty famous
in England as far back as 1922 and III
Massachusetts, and Maine from about
1910.
Herbert's father was a publisher and
bookseller on both sides of the Atlantic.
In his Office and at home, the lad met
and naturally was impressed by-many
of the top celebrities Of the time. He
grew up in an atmosphere Of achieve
nlent. His sister Mary was a pioneer
in medical education for women, and his
sister Ruth was historian and bio
grapher, specializing on The Neither
lands and the leaders of the Dutch peo-
pie Two brothers. George Haven and
John Bishop Putnam, followed the fam
lily tradition as successful publishers Of
books and magazines. The home to
which Herbert belonged was almost lit
orally bursting with the printed word.
Literature was the vocation, the pro-
fession OF everybody within its walls;
and Herberts career eventually became
an expansion of that domestic scene to
a field Of service worldwide in its con-
notations.
The boy was sent to J. H. Morse's
private school in New York. He was
graduated from Harvard in 1888. In
tending to be lawyer, he studied at
Cambridge and at Columbia thereafter.
But books had a prior claim on his
talents. He was called to Minneapolis
to manage the Athenaeum Library there
in 1884 and remained in Minnesota until
1889. Then he practiced as an attorney
at the Suffolk bar in Massachusetts from
1891 to 1895, when he was appointed
head Of the Boston Public Library.
How Herbert Putnam was brought to
Washington to be chief of the greatest
photographic establishment on earth is
a story that has been told many times.
Evening star., 1951-09-20

Representative L. S. Quigg Of New York
was responsible for the original sug-
gestion that the occupant Of "the finest
position in his profession in this coun-
try" should leave Boston and take over
administrative control of the Nations
library, but DR.. Putnam declined to take
the hint. and nothing more happened
until John Russell Young. librarian for
Is months. died. January II, 1899. Then
William Coolidge Lane. librarian at Har-
vard asked President Mckinley to

II was talking to remarkable woman
visitor at our house the other evening.
a cultured woman who embodied both
intelligence and appearance.
1T seems to me at times that women,
despite their foibles, are much more in
telligent and decent than men. From
men. as group. all one gets is war,
killing as sport, crime and the like.
Men, as a gang, are hopeless. but
women may lead us out Of the shadows
some day.
What wanted to tell about this
particular woman was her attitude to-
ward deafness She made no attempt
to hide her hearing aid, and had very
large one She used it only when seated,
and all her friends were used to it.
"She said that deafness and oncom-

trouble in the world, and that she her
self had saved several families from
breakup
"She said that in some Of the cases
the wife would grow deaf, and then COM
plain that her husband would not talk
louder, on purpose She told such per-
sons that they were asking too much,
that they had suffered loss. just as
If they had lost leg, and they were
asking too much of others to pretend
this loss didn't exist.
