Premature Rejoicing

Your editorial Of April IL; entitled
Premature Rejoicing" leaves me closer
than have ever been to an understand
ing Of why war has been inevitable" !"
though feel sure the lesson was un-
intended.
It has always been apparent that
the mere existence Of two powerful and
alien forces on this earth arouses in
each the desire to destroy the other
The communist dreadnought in Asia
is terrible threat to our way of life.
The smoke had hardly cleared from the
second World War; before there were
some Americans demanding that we
bring this threat to violent end with
our new-found atomic power. But our
moral fibers were strong; they held firm
under the impact of discovering in
Soviet Russia monster which might
devour us. Will they yield under pro-
longed and seemingly inexorable
strain?
confess weaker faith than ] felt
yesterday in the evitability of war; but
stand mistaken in the knowledge that
war is unnecessary. The victory already
is ours-has been ours from the begin
ning-because we are right. Our
strength is deep faith in human dig
nifty. Their strength Is fiery enthu-
siasm in a dynamic crusade; but their
fervor stems from material things, and
= it cannot endure. We have only to wait
until they sicken from the stencil Of
human liberties and decencies sacrificed
on the altar Of economic equality, and
communism will become a historical
curiosity.
OF course. it is not as simple as that
We must deny them the right to take
free peoples by force. as we have done
in Korea; and we must refuse to be
drawn out by high-handed actions and
illogical obstinacy, as we did in Berlin
Even then, there is a danger that the
enemy might launch full-scale war
deliberately. But remember this: The
Communists are controlled by highly
intelligent, coldly- calculating leaders
The chance of a deliberate attack
dwindles with every day Of American
rearmament. If only there were as
little danger of the growing hysteria
prevailing among our people!
The unfailingly stable and levelhead-
ed Star editorials have been prime
source of moral strength to me. But
now you say Of our policy in Korea:

One Reservist to Another

Recalled ReseryiSt," who bled all over
your letters column on April IS, appears
to be IN Class in my index Of reservists.
Since my entry into the Army Re
serve Is years ago, have noticed that
the types Of people who join the civilian
components Of the armed forces fall
generally into five classes. They may be
identified like this: /. The habitual
joiner-he signs up because it is part of
his character to belong to everything
he can get into land it will look good in
his biography later): q The graduate
Of the Reserve Officer Training Corps
he automatically becomes a reservist
upon completion Of the academic course
and the ROTC studies at college which
led to his commissioning (some start
the cadet course for patriotic reasons;
some do because one is "out of step"
on the campus If he is not q Cadet:
3. The chap who signs on because he
sincerely wants to be part Of his Ma
tion's standby force, to take advantage
of the training and experience such
afiliation offers. and to respond to the
bugle If and when it calls fortunately
for the country these are in the major
ity); 4. The man who joins the Reserve
after putting in active enlisted service,
and who Figuring that we probably will
have another war and not wanting to
serve In the ranks again)' gets a COM
mission and remains just name on the
roster, being as inactive as possible in
peacetime. and being much surprised
and disgruntled when he is called upon
to meet his Reserve obligation; 5. The
guy who enters Reserve component for
the sake of the uniform and the possibil-
ity of picking up little extra money
through attendance at drill sessions (not
many of these. because the pay is so
modest and the meetings sometimes in
convenient.
If Recalled Reservist is in Glass 4, as
suspect, hope that he will look again
at his letter of appointment and reflect
upon the conditions of his entrance into
the Reserve. The letter is so worded
that one may simply decline the offer
of appointment.
So far as his present military duty
is concerned, Recalled Reservist appears
to be truly entitled to grippe, and has my
sympathy, and I hope he will bear with
the gang until he is assigned appropriate
ly. But so far as his entry into active
duty is concerned, and his bleating about
serving "in some one else's place" say.
"Rats! If you didn't mean it, why did
you join us? You accepted the obligation.

uniform because the Nation needs you

it. Congressman and citizens: Just how
much blood do you want from us?

WeMust Give Them Something toFo||ow'

from becoming de jure war, for what
reason and to what advantage only God
knows. They see Americans engaging
in high policy discussions rs to whether
they dare risk the diSpleaSure of the
nation with which they are at war by
crossing this or that parallel or bombing
this or that military installation; in
effect, telling their soldiers to fight and
not to fight. They see this same nation
apparently in the act Of listening to
proposals for a negotiated peace. which
would entail the betrayal of an ally
they no longer feel it expedient to sup
port.
They see a nation that speaks loudly
and carries an umbrella.
It seems inevitable that, when the
history of this period finally is recorded,
1t will not be significant whether a top
military commander can or cannot get
away with expressing views opposite to
those Of his superiors. or whether or not
we should have bombed Manchurian
bases, OF whether more or less parallels
should have been crossed, or whether
atomic weapons should have been used
or not.
Nor will it be recorded as important
that the Communists were fought first
in Europe and then in Asia, or first in
Asia and then in Europe, or simul-
taneously-or in fact that they were
fought first in any other corner Of the
world which they have polluted.
Somehow it must be brought to our
realization anew that If we are to lead
and win, we must give people something
to follow. They will not follow prin-
ciples. But they will follow men who
follow principles.

Gambling Instinct

We are obviously becoming a Nation
Of gamblers, Notwithstanding the fact
that the books are fixed against us.
Gambling, think, is form Of inferi-
ority striving for equality; this is why
it is impossible to convince gambler
that he has only one chance in 100 Of
winning.

A. At the, first postwar explosion on
June 80, 1916, the atomic cloud reached

of the Districts preliminary
bridge plans.
Senator Hunt said the new
bridge would go far toward re-
moving traffic congestion in the
area, ana be of particular value
in connection with the Baltimore
Washington Parkway.
The planning commissions ap-
proval of the plans was not legally
required, although the legislation
authorizing the bridge directs the
Commissioners to request recon-
mendatlons and suggestion" from
the commission on the design of
the bridge, approaches and con-
Meeting roads.
The problem of locating the
$l2 million crossing fell to Con-
gress. as a matter of fact, after
the District and the planning
commission reached a deadlock.
District officials, armed with
traffic statistics from the origin
and destination survey of the 194S
Metropolitan Area Transporta-
ton Study, stood firm on the line
of East Capitol street.
Planning officials wanted the
bridge over the Anacostia in line
with Massachusetts, avenue.
In January, 1850, the planners
ruled that no further considera-
ton should be given to new
bridges over the Anacostia until
provision had been made to cleal
up bottlepecks around the present

crossings of the Anacostia. At the
same time it rejected the East
Capitol street plan.
This brought a stern letter of
Irebuke from the Commissioners to
the planning commission. The
commission then took the city
heads to task for not "co-ordina-
ting" their plans with the COM
mission.
On suggestion of Representa-
tives Ball. Republican, and Sas-
seer. Democrat, of Maryland, the
Commissioners then drafted legis-
lation to accomplish their objec-
tive. The two Representatives in
trOduced the bill on February 20,
1850.
The battle of the bridges
moved to Capitol Hill then, and
in April, 1850, planning commits
sion spokeSmen announced they
would withdraw their opposition
provided the District would re-
study the southern approach road
to the west end of the bridge.
This was to give greater protec-
tion to the site of the proposed
sports center at the foot of East
Capitol street.
AS now designed, the bridge
layout calls for a 35-acre parade
ground, sports center and recrea-
ton area at the western ap-
proaches to the bridge.
President Truman signed the
bill authorizing the bridge on
June 2, 1850,

not explain how he could conduct
what apparently was one of the
most expensive political campaigns
in the history of Tennessee with

Tennessee code makes it a crime
to spend more than $4,000 in a
campaign for United States SEN
