of the Lincoln Memorial site Their mod
ern form, their varying coloration and
glitter take away from one of our great
symbolic buildings. When the area is
approached from Constitution avenue,
they draw the eye to them and distract
attention from the building. The stat
ues, thus, take away from the unified
beauty of the memorial area. When the
new statues are seen from the Virginia
side, they seem tawdry or form black
blotches against the beauty of the me-
mortal. The placing of the heroic gol6
statues in the memorial area is very
much like asking a person of good taste
to put gold caps on his front teeth in
order to make himself more attractive.
I suggest that the statues be removed
from the area and that an appropriate
place be found for them before one of
the modern buildings in our city. Per-
haps they could be put in any one of
several parks wherein the trees would
soften the light that would reach them
and bring out what beauty is in them.

end OF the bridges approach, and the
approach of the Rock Creek Parkway
concourse. have been told that it was
at first thought that pylons similar to
those fronting the circle on the Virginia
side might be used in place of the low
abutments. They were omitted because
it was thought that their height would
detract from the memorial.
Recently. upon the four soft gray
abutments of the bridge and of the Po-
tomac Parkway, heroic gold statues have
been placed. 1t must have been felt by
the architects that a further marking
of the bridges end was essential AS I

of these statues in the area, want it

estifies for Judge FenneH

1t might be highly Salutary for peo-
pie who lament the practices of our
courts to attend one of Judge Fennelrs
sessions
They might soon feel, as I did recently,
that his solid, old-fashioned courtesy
and his deep regard for the constitu-
tional rights of every defendant should
bring praise upon his head instead of
petty criticism
What If he is individualist enough
to break loose from the all-too- prevalent
lock-step, hurry present-day
routine? He does a better lob than
many who may be very punctual, and.
unfortunately, too anxious to push pro-
ceedlngS through as fast as possible at
the expense of courtesy, constitutional
right to freedom of speech and just
plain common sense.
make comparison with one of his
colleagues who disregarded all three of
these recently. This judge apparently
tries to initiate the clipped and af-
fected speech of H. v. Kaltenborn with
the same nauseating effect. He probably
runs through" more cases than Judge
Fennell, but his manner and the OBJ
vious absence of Christianity in his
methods cast no laurels on the brow
of Justice.
Whatever time Judge Fennell loses
is well compensated for by money he
saves the courts in the long run. He
is thorough and eliminates a lot of
procedure that only wastes money and
time later on, by carefully considering a

Draft Deferment

AS mother with three sons in the
armed forces. one in Korea, I am
alarmed. Not at the thought of World
War III, but at the attitude of some
American boys toward their country.
When our third boy enlisted this
summer, we offered him the opportunity
for deferment, as we felt we were al
ready giving amply of our sons. He
had been on the deans list during his
four years at college. We would let
him take year of postgraduate work.
He refused, perhaps because he knew
1t would mean hardship to US.
His father and I were proud of his
determination and sense of duty, espe-
cially since we knew that he had no
desire, whatsoever, to become a soldier
He had been well trained at great cx-
penSe to us, and was ready and eager
to take good-paying job. one which
he had looked forward to and built
toward, for four years. Becoming a
private and living on private's pay held
no allure for him. 1t is not the atti-
tude OF my own sons that have found
alarming-it is that of their friends
30 per cent Of whom are still at home
Never have I seen American youth
try SO desperately to escape any situa-
ton. as some are trying to escape the
draft. Never have I seen American
youth so casual about and seemingly
proud of being 4-F. marriage, science.
medicine, the ministry, another year CT
two or three years at school-a de-
fense job-anything for an "out"
What is wrong? I think it is the
present deferment plan. I believe the
present plan is building up a class
consciousness. I believe that if some
must go, all boys should go into the
service. Black, white, rich, poor, high
or low I. Q.-all of certain age should
serve in the armed forces. No boy
should be preferred" or deferred-ex-

To the Editor of The Stor:
The United States is developing one
of the most beautiful gardens in the
world as 1t creates the Mall. One of
its most pleasing spots is the Lincoln
Memorial and the area that supports
it. the lockwood and magnolia grounds,
the Potomac River development, the Re-
f1ecting Pool, and the trees that sur
round it.
I have enjoyed the Lincoln Memorial
for a quarter of century. 1t has glory
in its form and beauty in its design.
1t has moods that adapt it to the hour.
1t is golden white in the sun; it is creamy
white against the dark of the night
and pearl gray against the clouds.
The Lincoln Memorial tells in an ap-
propriate way Of our peoples recognition
and appreciation of the classical mind
Of President Lincoln. Some architects
think that "the grammar used in telling
the story" is not altogether acceptable,
but they are forced to say that the story
as told is magnificent.

Liberalism and Mccarthy

Communists want Senator Mccarthy
eliminated from the American political
scene. just as, a few years ago, they
wanted Representative Martin Dies
eliminated. Today, just as a few years
ago, Liberals have engaged them
selves heart and soul in making the
Communists dream come true.
Let us take long, hard look at the
assorted characters, newspapers. peri
odicalS, etc, which have placed them
selves at the head of the brigade of
Mccarthy smearers." Let us see II we
can find among them any who has
ever manifested the slightest sympathy
toward any attempt to identify, expose
and eliminate Communists from the
Government, or from any positions
where they have concealed themselves
for the purpose of furthering their evil
designs. Not only have they failed to
advocate any sort of overt action against
the Communicates they now advocate
overt action against Senator Mccarthy
they have affected to see in such overt
measures. by whomever advocated. moth
ing but threats to civil rights" and
constitutional guarantees"
What manner of liberalism" is this,
anyway, which can tolerate no meas
ures whatever to identify, expose, and
eliminate cryptic Communists from hid
den positions where they may do great
harm to the country?
When any honest American under
takes to evaluate Senator Mccarthy and
his anti-Communist campaign, let it be
remember that when the Senator
initiated his campaign he let it be
known that his purpose was to spur
thoroughgoing investigation, by Senate
committee. of the extent of Communist
inf1ltration of the executive branch Of
the Government. Such an investigation
has yet to be conducted. and until it
has been conducted, the Senator is en-
titled to continue his campaign, and I.
for one. hope he will do so.

The Red Demand at Koesonq

In effect, in insisting that a ceaSe-flre and
armistice must be conditioned on demilitarized
line fixed along the 3Sth Parallel, the Com
munists at Kaesong have been demanding that
they be allowed to stand where they are, or
move a bit forward while our American and
Allied United Nations forces do all the with
drawing in Korea-on the ground as well at
sea and in the air. The unreasonableness of
this position is obvious enough to be clear even
to the enemy negotiators and If they keep on
refusing to back away from it, there will be
good cause to believe that they are acting in
bad faith and do not really want to end the
hostilities
Admiral JOY head of the U. N. delegation
at Kaesong, has repeatedly emphasized to the
Chinese and North Korean Communists that one
of the great advantages of a truce agreement for
them would be the fact that our far-ranging
naval and air power would be rendered inactive
above any demilitarized line that might be de-
cided upon. In other words, that power, whose
virtually complete mastery has met with only
a negligible challenge thus far, would be with
drawn from its present sphere of heavy opera
tions-a sphere that embraces the sea around
the whole of Korea and stretches out in the sky
as far north as the Yalu River along the Man
churian border. Plainly, such a pullback Of
such formidable force would take a tremendous
amount of pressure off the Reds. Accordingly,
when they demand that our Allied ground armies
march back as well, they are asking for the
moon.
However, as is typical of Communist bar
gaining, the enemy negotiatorS have been trying
to minimize the Importance of our air and naval
power But they have been doing so in self
contradictory way. Thus, in one breath, they
say that our planes and ships do not carry much
weight in the military situation and that there
fore their removal from action north of the
present battle line on land would be concession
of little value compared to the withdrawal Of
U. N. ground forces to the 38th Parallel But
then, in the next breath, they say that it is
only because of our offensive operations at sea
and in the sky that their troops have been
unable to drive the United Nations out of the
whole of Korea. The truth is, of course, that
those operations have been infictlng massive
punishment on the enemy-punishment that has
had crucial decisive influence on the entire
course of the war.
Quite clearly. therefore the cessation of such
operations would in itself be very large con-
cesSion. The Communists are placing a great
strain on patience when they demand that the
u. N, must in addition withdraw its ground
forces 20 miles or so to the 38th Parallel. That
kind of withdrawal would actually be militarily
absurd retreat from hard-won territory Ia key
buildup area for past Red offensveS) to line
considerably less defensible than the line now
held. If the enemy at Kaesong does not yield
on this point, the issue very probably will have
to be decided by return to full-scale fighting
that could quickly expand into the sort of war
General Macarthur has advocated.

Stokes Attitude

The Star of August carried an ar
ticie by Thomas L. Stokes in which he
said for decency of good government,
Senator Mccarthy should be removed
from the Senate.
You can always count on Stokes to
back the administration, no matter
what the question or subject. He knows
Maryland would have booted out his
friend Tydings whether Mccarthy had
come into the picture or not. This il
lustrious columnist takes the attitude
that once New or Fair Dealer is elected,
he can never be removed
