New Talent
ForsDem Buns

Training camp activities of
the Dodgers always have pro-
vided interesting stories and
next spring should be no excep
ton. For there promises to be
some interesting battles for some
spots on the Dodgers 1851 team
and particularly in the Outfield.
Among the fly chasing talent
that is being brought up for next
year are Don Thompson and
Dick Williams. Thompson will
not be any stranger to training
camp followers as he has had a
trial previously with the Braves.
The Dodgers had him at their
Montreal farm last season and
everything the left handed hit
ter had done warranted this new
chance to make the big leagues.
He batted around $40 and, in
the process of accumulating 222
bases on 157 hits, drove in 81
tallies.
Williams appears on the Dodg-
ers' roster for the first time. He
was purchased from the Fort
Worth team A right handed hit
ter, he's had two full seasons in
Double A competition and, in
both years, his hitting has been
convincing enough. In 1949 with
the Cats, Williams batted $40,
drove in LA runs and his ia
hits included % homers. and 80
doubles. Last season he batted
around 800, again hit thirty
doubles and had an RBI total of
72. He is considered one of the
best defensive players to come
out of the minors in some years.
Also on the list for the first
time is outfielder Bill Sharman,
a bonus player, signed after he
had starred for Southern Calf
ornia University. A right hand
ed batter, Sharman launcehd his
pro career with the P u e b ! o
Western League team last sea-
son and, after batting .288 in IL
games and driving in 70 runs, he
was moved up to Elmira. Play
ed in 10 games with that team,
hitting .289. In addition to his
baseball ability, he is recognized
one of the greatest basketball
players to come from the Coast.
While at Porterville, Cal, high
school, he won 13 varsity let
terS.
Bill Antonello, a long ball hit
ter who spent the last season at
Hollywood, and George Shuba,
left handed hitter who has been
up before, are other outfielders
expected to nliven training
camp work. Antonello, Brook
lyn boy, bats right handed.

Urges Better American Music

In an theological struggle one likes
to believe that all good is on our side.
Thus X Y. z. understandably is dis
turbed by the wide popularity of Soviet
music despite its subjection to political
censorship. AS a result misguided pa
triotism has led him to generalizations
about music to which he probably never
listens effectively.
The very fact of the popularity of
Soviet compositions suggests an expla-
nation of the political interference
The Kremlin wants to prove" the su-
periority of its culture. Thus, besides
giving its composers economic security,
the Soviet government seeks to prevent
them from becoming abstract expert
menters. who are not accepted by the
general public of their own generation
If at all.
This situation is borne out by the
music, which. far from completely
breaking with the past, is derived from
that Of ''The Five" (Mussorgsky, Boro-
din. .Rimsky-Korsakoff, Balakirev, Cub
and such pre- re-Revolutionaries as Scria-
bin and Stravinsky.
The appeal of the music is such that
it has been played and recorded by ar
lists who fed from the Russian revo-
lutions
The best American answer to Soviet
music production is the same as that to
Soviet arms production-do better our
selves. Encourage and, if necessary
subsidiZe the education of composers:
build up our symphony orchestras.

CoIifornio's Fovorite Son

Governor Warren has done the natural the
logical and the expected thing in throwing his
hat in the ring after Senator Taft. The second
avowed candidate for next years Republican
presidential nomination is formidable political
figure not only in California but through the
country at large, and it would have been strange
indeed had he chosen not to rum especially in
view of how important the race is in terms of
national and international problems on which he
holds strong personal convictions
The phrase "favorite son" applies with special
force to Mr.. Warren. He is the States first three
term Governor. Appealing to Democrats and Re-
publcans alike, he has been the greatest vote
getter in the history of California, winning
tremendous bipartisan support on a program
regarded by some G. o. P. stalwarts- including
many Of Senator Taft's supporters-as being too
far left of center Be that as it may, his con-
stituentS (they add up to the second most
populous State in the Union) have made clear,
again and again, that they like him very much,
and that fact, plus his national reputation as
Governor Deweys running mate in the 1948
presidential campaign, will make him a force
to be reckoned with when his party convenes
in Chicago next July
IN all probability CALIFORNIA; delegation will

Warren. That means he will have a bloc of
70 votes behind him to begin with. 1t means,

Fair Deal Man

Mr.. Trumans press conference comment on
his Fair Deal program probably should be filed
In the What-Else- Could-He-Say? cabinet
The comment was made in response to
question and when he was asked the President
had no choice except to reply that of course he
stands by the Fair Deal and that his State-of-
the-Union message will renew the demand for
the Brannan farm plan, compulsory health in
surance, the FEPC, etc 1t is his program, and
Mr.. Truman is too good politician not to realize
that he Is stuck with it.
STILL 1t is not an inspiring outlook Mr.
Truman knows there is not chance in the
world that this Congress will enact the pro-
gram or any part of it. And with matters of
the greatest Importance clamoring for attention
and awaiting action it is too bad that the Presi-
dent feels he must devote his time and the time
of Congress to an appeal which, at this time at
least, is utterly futile. But that is the way our
political system works In drafting State-of-
the-Union message the test is not whether a
particular proposal is essential to the national
welfare or whether it has any reasonable chance
of enactment If it will hold votes or attract
votes, in it goes.

Chooses Macarthur

In our choice for President we must
consider man whose ability to deal
with the meticulous planning of Com
munism is superb both in the United
States of America and world wide. We
must choose man whose faithfulness to
his country is unquestioned. We must
choose man who seeks divine guidance.
We must choose man who is best read
on all subjects related to the American
way of life. We must choose a man
whose leadership means not only plan
ming but fulf1llment. We must choose
man whose brilliant mind is the key to
peace, if peace can be. We must choose
man whose craftsmanship has not been
equaled in our time. We must choose a
man who can and will employ mind, body
and soul toward the betterment of our
country and mankind We must be able
to understand that if we, as great as our
position is in the world today, do not
choose man who measures most nearly
to the above faculties, then surely our
position will topple
Search your mind with an honest heart
and see if you can find man more able
to assume this task and deliver the goods
than this great blessing to us in the
name of Douglas Macarthur.

Some Agency Should Make the Study

The Interstate Commerce Commissions refus-
al to Investigate public transportation problems
IN the Washington Metropolitan Area is disap-
pointing but not surprising. A comprehensive
and intensive study of the regions complex tram
Sit system-which is really tumble of unco-
ordlnated bus and Streetcar Systems-s badly
needed, but the ICC is not equipped to do the
Jop More than ever it becomes apparent that
some overall authority, properly empowered and
StaHed to operate across the District line, will
have to be created to handle special utility
problems beyond local Jurisdiction
The particular inquiry which the ICC had
been requested to make concerned 'the adequacy
and convenience of existing passenger carrier
facilities and services and the reasonabeness of
fares" in the Greater Washington area The in
qulry had been sought by the governing bodies of
Arlington, Fairfax and Montgomery Counties. and
OF the city of Falls Church, by the mterfedera-
ton Council and by other civic groups. Their Pc
tltlons pointed out that the various bus and
streetcar lines serving the area are operated in
dependently and with little regard to one an
others schedules, fares and facilities The COM
muter who has to use more than one line in his
daily travels is at distinct disadvantage under
this loose arrangement. He may be required to
pay twice as much for given ride as he would
pay to cover the same distance on one line It
was because OF this situation that the ICC inter-
vened in behalf of Federal employees of the PEN
tagon, Navy Annex and other Government install
latlons in nearby Virginia The ICC has COM
PEELED the Capital Transit Company and the Vir-
glnla buSlines to enter into joint-fare agree
ment for such workers.
But the ICC says it does not have the funds
or staff to extend its intervention to cover the
whole mass transportation network serving
Washington and its suburbs. study of the re-
glonal setup ought to be made by some compe-
tent agency, however. Such study would reveal
many inequities and inadequacies that should
not be allowed to exist in such a thickly settled
lntegrated urban area as Greater Washington It
is absurd, for example, that no public utility
body has jurisdiction over taxicab fares between
Washington and points in Maryland or Virginia
The basis for regional survey of public util-
ity problems was contained in the Sasscer bill
which has yet to receive congressional approval
That bill would authorize thoroughgong study
OF public service problems mutually affecting
the District, Maryland and Virginia. If Congress
does not see fit to give the ICC the means with
which to investigate Metropolitan Area transit
problems, it could achieve the same end by au-
thorizing the inquiry proposed in the Sasscer BILL
Such study is an essential preliminary to any
intelligent effort to bring about better CO.

further-or at least 1t could mean-trouble for
Mr.. Taft. At any rate, since the Governor seems
not to see eye to eye with the Senator on a
number of domestic and foreign issues, there is
certainly fair chance that Ohios favorite
Republican will encounter great difficulties in
Chicago, particularly if States like New York and
Pennsylvania join California in common front
against him. Such front is by no means in
conceivable, and it could be a hard thing to
crack, even if the magic name of General
Eisenhower were not injected into the proceed
ings.
But all this is speculation. There is nothing
in the political world more idle right now, or
more hazardous, than attempts to divine what
is likely to happen when the Republicans meet
to choose their 1852 presidential and vice presi-
dental candidates. AS far as Mr. Warren is
concerned however, we can be sure of this much:
No matter what happens to his bid for the
nomination, he has the qualifications needed to
make the race decidedly interesting one-and
worrisome, too-for Mr.. Taft and Others

Defends Paul BIunshurd

The complaint that Paul Blanshard's S
tune is worn out" as voiced in a letter
few days back, illustrates how easy it
is for US to become accustomed to
abuses.
Actually. what is worn out, badly
frayed, discredited every time men die
for freedom, is the attempt by those who
have become discontented with the
American way to do away with, or
bypass. or undermine the Constitution,
by forming an illicit relationship be-
tween the state and the church
There is not thing wrong with Paul
Blanshards tune. 1t needs to be played
and sung long and loud. over and over
again. We will keep freedom alive by
acting like free men. reserving the right
not only for ourselves but for the other
fellow as we'll to comment and criticize
and notwithstanding church and state
separate and thus free to do their ap-
pointed tasks
Paul Blanshard is doing this Nation
a great service. And vote of thanks to
The Star for your Willingness to "let
freedom ring" in your columns.

Then we need what may be called the
civilized killer, the man of muscle. grit

the safety of the civilized
Here we face the dilemma of man
kind
It is let us never forget, inherent in
nature.
Surely many mother panther, nuz-
zling her young. has had a moment of
hesitation, as she saw dinner in the
form Of a deer, stick its head through
the shrubbery.
We may feel that in her. at that mo-
ment, though only for moment, went
the same wave of pity felt by civilized
human being. She had no symbols, such
as letters, words. sentences, paragraphs,
in which to express her fleeting thought.
Nature shortly took charge of the situa-
ton, her hormones sprang into action,
and quickly she was galvanized into
leaping and bringing down the dinner.
But for a brief second, at least, she
was on her way to civilization. This is
the hope of mankind. Many men still
live in an unciviliZed state, not only
those on whom we confer the title of
enemy, but many of our own, whose
shortcomings are daily expressed in crime
news At times we tend to feel that
there Is too much crime news, but we
should remember that all of it shows
how far from true civilization, as
group, we are, and how much harder
we must work, with how much more
devotion to the best we know, if we are
to bring into being the new Jerusalem
of which we have been told.

The mink Is really large weasel.
His fame today comes from being made
into coats, some of them rather pub
licised.
Actually. weasels are not nice crea-
lures. in the ordinary sense; they often
kill just for the fun of it, and in this
they resemble man; they like to kill a
smaller animal, and eat only the brain,
discarding the rest.
Probably the familiar pattern of one
beast against another. the killing keep
ing down an excessive birth rate, works
best only in nature, that is, natural en-
vironment uncomplicated by man.
Since man manages to insinuate him
self into almost every environment, even
to the poles, 1t can be realized that
there are no more pure environments, or
habitats. and to that extent, at least,
the balance of nature refuses to bal
ance, not always in good ways.
There are other features Of mans in
reference not so easily seen. The kind
ly human who feeds the birds never
stops to think that he is interfering
in any degree with the justly famous
balance" but he may be doing so.
The farmer, perhaps, comes closer
to being a part of the natural picture
than the city or suburban man who re-
fuses to kill
The very flower Of Christianity, many
believe, comes with the non-killer. Such
a man has his uses. in civilization. but
1t may be questioned how useful he is
when trouble caused by uncivilized ele-
ments enters the picture.

seems at times rather absurd.
Consider this "chain of life" business,
in which one form of creature consumes
another form, thus holding the balance
true" as we are told.
Mice eat insects, and along come
the WeaSels to eat the mice.
This has been going on for long
time.
Now it is pattern of action.
Without the help Of the mice, there
would be SO many insects, we are told,
we would be overrun. The birds, too,
help in this campaign. Some experts
regard them, of course, as the main
bulwark we have against insects.
But now the mice must be held in
check. ,.r
So along comes the crafty old weasel
whose scientific name means mouse
catcher"
How does it happen. then, in neigh
borhods where there are no weasels,
there is no undue concentration of
mice?
The whole thing looks odd.
The cats, OF course, are always with
u.s. but when it comes to mouse CATCH
ing, every cat has his own idea about it.
Some cats seem to say, as plainly as
anything, "Why, wouldn't touch one
of the nasty things for anything!"
Other cats love to catch mice, moles
and shrews. (The latter is small gray
animal which looks very much like a
mouse but isn't one. It has very small
eyes and ears, and likes to live under ivy

dents of undemocratic procedure grow

1t is not just the terrible shock, which

ized-disclosure must have dealt to

led to believe their boys. were at least

no inkling is given as to the source of
these evidences of barbarism," no great
credence can be placed in them-and
they may even be fictitious. This pos

more heinous. .e.-
AS former foreign correspondent

compile the casualty lists for the great
japanese earthquake in September,
1923. Hence I am we'll acquainted with
both the great difficulty of getting ac-
curate figures on mortalities, as we'll as
the grave injustice of juggling such sta
tistics. Ever since the start of the Ko-
rean imbroglio have carefully watched
the official casualty reports, with grow
ing apprehension and incredulity.
The only honest conclusion I can
reach is that the American people have
witnessed one of the most fragrant ex-
hioitionS of press censorship and "ob-
jective reporting" in the history of our
so-called free press. during the "warless
war" still dragging on in Korea. This
is in no way a criticism of either our
press or the brave correspondents-some
of whom have given their lives in an
honest effort to give us the real facts.
However, it is indeed an indictment of
the uniformed authorities, upon whom
our neWsmen are dependent. for their
official battlefront information.
