This and That

mated with lyric expressions Of universal
pesSimiSm.
If we take it today as an inadvertant
expression of today's fear. we will have
an entirely new exposition on our hands.
Great poets are that way.
What they write in one age crops up
in another with all the old sweetness,
to which is added some tartness from
our own unholy years.
If the modern world of man Gas dis
tinct from the modern world OF the
animals and plants is to get anywhere,
along it's best pathway, it must do Some-
thing about it's own cities of dreadful
night, the 'blackout" of recent history,
with which we are threatened again.
Great poets dream. and in their
dreaming come up with eternal truths,
at least as eternal as we can stand.
It is believable that not now are we
fit to know the real eternal truths. hid
from us in time and space.
Only poets know, because they dream
deeply. 1
The world laughs and calls them
fools.
That is the way we brush aside any
thing disagreeable.
Another dreamer, linked to Washing
ton city. was Emily Dickinson.

By Charles E. TroceweN

Her father was Representative in
Congress.
She lived with him here for time
and it is legend that she met and some
how lost the man she loved.
Thereafter her life was given over to
shy expressions of a doleful but beauti-
full nature.
It is only within the past 20 years,
however, that the name Of Emily Dick
inson has meant anything to college
students.
The general public still finds her
name strange.
Her poems, concise to the point where
it hurts, mean much more to the modern
reader than they did to the few who
read them In the old days.
Why is this so? It must be because
she. like the sad James Thomson, was
somehow touched with the might Of the
seer, able to write with the pen If not
exactly an angel. at least with that Of
the gifted.
Such people. usually poets, seem fool
ish to ordinary everyday folk because
the latter are looking to others for per-
mission to think. Thought control" is
not new.
The true poet shines because he asks
no permission to write what he writes.
Even today, few persons would write
as James Thomson and Emily Dickinson
wrote. They would not dare.

The Italian Elections

Although still incomplete, the Italian elec-
ton returns show that the Communists have lost
administrative control Of all but few hundred
of the almost 5000 municipal, town and village
governments in the country's % northern prov
inces. Prior to the vote, they were the political
masters of Ito of these communities, but now
the number is down to 395-a drop Of IT'S. But
their defeat, though significant and encourag-
ing one does not add up to wholly unalloyed
victory for the anti-Red coalition led by Premier
de Gasperis Christian Democratic Party.
For the coaltion-w1oSe other chief men,
berS are the Republicans, the Liberals and the
right-wing Socialists-has scored its gains not
because of increasing its popular vote but be-
cause of new electoral law under which the
winning of plurality, no matter how small,
automatically entities the winner to two-thirds
of the council seats in the various municipalities
Actually despite its victory in most of the
northern communities, the coalition has re-
ceived less support, in terms Of ballots, than it
did in the crucial 1948 elections. The Com
munists, on the other hand, have gained in that
sense.
Thus, in this latest poll, the Christian Demo-
crats, who constitute Italy's major anti-Red
organization, have received just bit more than
Al per cent of all the votes cast as against 40
Der cent in 1948. AS for the coalition as whole,
1t has won So per cent, or percentage points
less than its total three years ago. The decline
attributable in part to the fact that the Fascist
like Social Movement Party has gained consider
able ground-takes some of the Joy out of the
beating handed the Communists. This is so par
tcularly because the latter despite losing control
in hundreds of communities, have succeeded
in getting upwards Of 35 per cent Of the popular
vote, whereas in 1948 they won 80 per cent.
However, although the Communists are hail
ing the anti-Red percentage decline and their
own slight gain as great victory for themselves,
the significance of the returns seems very limited
In shifting a little toward the left, Italy's
northern voters, according to on-the-scene OBJ
servers, have been thinking less about national
and international issues than about purely local
problems bearing upon economic and social
conditions within their own home communities.
Moreover, whatever the Kremlin's agents may
say the fact remains that the Christian Demo-
Gratis and allied parties are now on top in nearly
all of those communities.
In short, regardless of the drop in public
support, the anti-Red coalition has succeeded
in winning local governing control throughout
most of predominantly industrial Northern Italy.
This means that such important places as Genoa
and Milan-heretofore dominated by Communist
or fellow travelling administrations be in
safe hands for the next five years, after which
the Kremlin's willing tools may find it extremely
difficult to stage a comeback in new elections.
Looked at in that light the victory of the
Christian Democrats and their allies is certainly
substantial, even though less than sweeping.

The quality Of her mind is well il
luStrated by her analysis of the issue.
''The conventional school," she says

see time wasted by having to teach
girls mathematics on deficiency basis.
AS for spelling, she has always been
willing to match her girls with boys.
The school has an annual spelling con-
test with st. Adams, the boys school
Of the Washington Cathedral.
Her catalogue says:
Great stress is laid on the i'm
portance of careful written work. All
written exercises are handed back to
the pupil and the pupil is required to
correct the mistakes indicated"

quite erroneous, and yet it obsesses

and Vice Admiral Merlin O'Neill,
commandant of the Coast Guard.
Mr.. Truman said:
81 feel that meets of this char
acter are of tremendous value to
the national defense of this coun-
try, arousing as they do, an early
interest in aviation.
This early interest in flying,
the understanding of aerody-
namics acquired in the construc-
ton and flying of model planes,
the study of wind currents-all
work together to give the modeler
q comprehensive knowledge Of
many of the problems of aviation
before he enters actively into the
field of flying"
President Truman pointed to
the fact that about two-thirds of
all American military pilots were
model plane builders in their
younger days. He added:
Building model planes and ac-
quiring the skill, to fly them calls
for the full resources of the
modelers and in the case of young
boys provides them 18th a hobby
which directs their energy into a
useful employment of their leisure
hours
"I sincerely hope that model
plane shows such as this may have
hearty public support and that the
example set at Andrews Air Force
Base may be followed all over the
country"
In giving his Endorsement, Sec
retary Finletter said:
IT am pleased tc know that the

will be held again this year and
that young people from all over
the country once more will have
this opportunity to demonstrate
