PoIond's Tragedy

I. like many Americans, have long
had a great admiration and sympathy
for the Polish people and deep sense
OF shame and humiliation for the part
this country paid in Poland's tragedy.
1t is, therefore, heartening to know
that House investigation of the Katyn
Forest massacre is under way. AS the
ugly story of the sell-out of China has
been brought to light, so should the
facts about Poland, our courageous ally
in whose cruciflxion we aided so eff
GENTLY.
This investigation would be of great
service to the American people If it
could be proved that evidence was con-
cealed by the same officials of the State
and Defense Departments who still
follow a policy Of appeasement with the
Soviet criminals.
Our moral debt to Poland is a great
one and to those Of us in America who
would adhere to the principles of free
dom, justice and Christian ideals on
which this country was founded, the
moral debt to ourselves is no less great.
We have already begun to discover
what Gen. Bor so wisely stated in his
book "The Secret Army: ''To construct
world peace at the expense of injustice
and wrong done 20 smaller nations is a
dangerous experiment. It can only re-
suit in acute political tension and
perpetual smouldering of grievances, a
most precarious state of international
affairs, so closely demonstrated by our
present times"

Are the Men on Mars Louqhnq at Us?
To the Editor Of The Stor::

Science teachers, to which group be-
long, have long challenged cartoon strips
as fodder for feeble minds. I confess TO
having followed Andy Gump and the
Widow Zander years ago, but then ] was
very young and immature.
One of your editorials recently dealt
with a new strip some fast-talking sales
man put over on you, described as
Space Cadet. Your argument for its
purchase and reproduction was exam
ined by some high school boys and their
pedagogue, and found fallacious. Here's
what you have done:
You have employed the syllogism. o
tricky and discredited device and pitfan
for many besides editors. You took as
the major premise" the fact that we
now have some new inventions which
you listed as radar, televiSion, the
atomic bomb, ct cetera. AS the minor
premise" you suggested, substantially
as non-science people often do-"Ain't
science wonderful! And now those SCI
entists are going to build an earth satel-
lite or space platform" Finally, as the
conclusion to these two premises you ex-
press the opinion that anything could
happen: there is no limit to the in
genuity of scientists"
OF course, this is very flattering to
science, and well meant, I'm sure. Prob
ably you have in the back Of your head
those creations of Jules Verne which we
need not name again. To boys Of the
period when they were written. Verne's
fiction was wonderful and since then. 1t
appears to have been prophetic. But you
must realize that Verne was brilliant
engineer, well acquainted with the prin-
cipal scientific truth of his time His
fiction was always obedient to scientific
: laws.
In contrast, what have you bought in
your Space Cadet? Your answer is found
in that very edition of The Star in which
you announce the atrocity. The muscle
bound hero is therein described as having
made an unauthorized trip through
space in vehicle called a rotor jet,
apparently flying machine with jet
engine! Surely the doodling artist can't
be serious.
Richard L. FeIdmon
Thanks for The Stars editorial Space
Cadet and Us Earthworms," September

Many people have long, if quietly, be-
lieved that the creators Of such things as

Vote Grabbing


way to get votes" Mr.. Truman has him
self used so many contemplate ways to

At least, we have to admit that, on
this subject, MIR. Truman is a real

Drufts Eisenhower
Every one Is asking: What about
Eisenhower? The voice of the people
and machine politicians give contrary
answers. II the common people had
their way, he would be the first bipar-
tisan candidate for President since
George Washington. Though unable to
agree on anything else, the bosses of
both party machines agree they must
stop Eisenhower.
Why do the common people insist
upon Eisenhower? Their instinct to
survive the atheist conspiracy tells them
he is the only prospective candidate
who can recapture bipartisan respect for
the presidency. Unless that can be re-
captured we perish.
For two decades the presidency has
been self-perpetuating monopoly for
spoilsmen. For two costly decades class
interests and grievances were pitted
against one another. We have lost that
indivisible unity which made us survive
wars both civil and aggressive.
In our hearts we know our Nation
will not survive If either "the boys In
the engine room" or 'the voice from
the sewer" dictates our next President.
Neither Taft nor Truman symbolic any
thing but continued bipartisan strife and
civil war. A personality which symbol
ICES willing national sacrifice, discipline
and all-out dedication to the ideals
which gave us birth has become an in
eXorable necessity Eisenhower seems
to measure up to the spiritual compul-
sions of our desperate need.
Either party nominating Eisenhower
is guaranteed virtual victory. He would
win because he is great and trusted
American, not because he is a Repub-
lican or a Democrat The presidency
once more would become a symbol of
indivisible national unity Then why do
the stop Eisenhower ambushers insist
that it must be either Taft or Truman?
The answer is Of grave historic sig
nificance: The professional bosses of
both political machines know Eisenhower
means the death knell to their empire
OF personal profit and privilege. Either

String music of the 18th CEN
tury was the feature OF last nights
program in the National Gallery
OF Art, played by the string Sec
tion of the National Gallery Or
chestra under Richard Bales.
Giovanni Bagarotti, violinist, was
the soloist, heard in two concer-
tos by Haydn. With the exception
of Mozart's Zine Kleine Nacht-
music" played at the end, all of
the compositions were new to
Washington.
AS the name of Mozart's father
Leopold rarely, if ever, appears
on concert programs, his Sin
1onia Burlesca," edited by Mr..
Bales, was something of a curio-
slty. The court musician" court
composer and assistant con-
ductor" in service of two arch
bishops, is better known today as
the violinist who wrote a school
for the violin which survived to
the present time.
Leopold Mozart was caught be-
tween two schools of thought at
an era when people got tired of
the grand styles of Corelli, Bach
and Handel and wanted lighter
and more entertaining music. He
could not do justice to either. It
remained for the genius of his
son Wolfgang to find the happy
medium, to create great music
ana to reconcile the two view
points.
The "Sinfonia Burlesca" has
little or nothing to justify the
title. 1t is humorless and repe-
titious. With the excer ton of
the last movement, which is ami
mated, the three first ones have
much that resembles dialogues
between two violas and two cellos
with a bass in the background.
The sinfonia was performed by
George Wargo, Norman Lamb.
violas; John Martin, Rowland
Cresswell, cellos, and Charles
Hamer, bass.
1t is still debated whether the
two Haydn concertos heard last
night really came from the COM
poser's pen. Haydn supposedly
wrote three concertos for the vio-
lin. None come up in merit to
the cello concerto, played here
frequently. 1t is conceded that
the one in "B fat Major" given
by Mr.. Bagarotti, resembles in

second on the program, being very
simple technically. may belong to
Haydn's early essays, if at all.
When one hears the smooth and
polished tone of a soloist, such as
Mr.. Bagarotti possesses, a string
orchestra. in which members are
permitted to go full tilt, sounds
very rough and harsh. Mr.. Baga-
rotti, caught by the exuberance
around him. gave the appearance
of being forced to follow rather
than lead. In the general drive,
that which makes performance
of piece of music work of art
seemed forgotten. =.

ciples among young people, the
sponsoring group said.
Films, brief lectures and group
discussions will be included in the
programs, which are being ar
ranged under the direction of
Edmund E. Pendleton, jr., in

 NOTES

The local group of the Alaska Certified Seed Growers Associa- ton held their organizational meeting last Tuesday at the Rec Hall. Irving Newville was elected president and Leonard Kyger secretary-treasurer.
 I am really glad to see this organization get going. Its forma- ton will mean that in the future farmers will be assured of a source of approved, tested and certified locally-grown and adapt ed seed. If the seed you buy is certified by this association, it will also be weed free. It will also be pure. If you buy certified Edda barley, that's what you will get. You won't get Edda plus Ollie and 19B barley and perhaps, also, a good share of mustard or chickweed. The Coop has no de- sire to send good Alaskan money Outside to purchase seed. If we can raise and certify good seed here, here's where you farmers that make up the Coop will buy it. More power to you.
 Speaking of weed seed and weed control, Dr. Litzenberger says that Aero cyanate at 12 to 16 lbs. per acre used in a water spray gave excellent results on killing chickweed. It didn't dam age oats and peas or pigweed;

 2, 4, ST mixed in fuel oil is an excellent tree or brush killer. Just spray it on the bark. This chem ical might be part of the answer to our land clearing problem. MT. Eckert at the Coop says orders for the above chemicals should be in at least a month early. These chemicals may answer a lot
