PARKWAY Mountains

MIR. Justice Douglas sounds as if he had
been off in the faraway mountains a little bit
too long in proposing in today's international
political atmosphere that the United States
should now recognize Communist China.
When the Mao Tse-tung government became
the power in being for the entire China main
land it had certain obvious claims to recognition
in the community of nations. 1t did, on the
surface at least, represent the Chinese people
If the Mao government had then chosen to
concern itself with the peaceful development of
China and to conduct itself in international
affairs with dignity and integrity it might we'll
have advanced its claims for recognition to
point of universal acceptance.
Unfortunately, the Mao government chose
otherwise. With casual indifference it ignored
the recognition extended by Great Britain In
evident conformity to the bidding of Moscow it
attempted to bully it's way into the United
Nations. 1t then chose to launch outright war
on the United Nations by sending its armies
into Korea on the side of the Communist
aggreSSorS. Today it takes leading part in
ObStructing efforts to effect peaceful settle
ment in Korea and lends itself to threats that
the signing of treaty of peace between Japan
and the majority of the free world will be a
signal for new warfare
Justice Douglas may be quite right in feeling
that a vast social and political transformation
is under way in Asia, and that it must be
recognized and accepted. Such acceptance,
however, calls for responsible behavior. We have
the privilege of rejecting the gun -at-our- head
technique-or perhaps Mir. Douglas doesn't think
it's loaded

Mr.. Yoshido's Rules of Etiquette

pleasant little exception to gloomy Specu-
lation about next weeks San Francisco peace
conference can be found in reports that Prime
Minister YoShida has taken great pains to insure
that his Japanese delegation will be completely
hep to American etiquette. To that end, accord
ing to the reports, he has admoniShed the
members of the party to pay special attention to
IA rules. The most arresting of these rules
include the following:
% Don't walk in the hotel corridor dressed
in your paiamas; (2) don't loter in the lobby
without definite intention; 90 don't be late
for your social or business appointments; "a
don't drink alcohol to excess or force another
person to take the stuff; (5) don't sing in your
room CO. don't elbow ladies out of the way when
getting on an elevator; and CD don't make noise
while eating don't use toothpicks, and for heav-
ems sake-above all-dont belch.
Mr.. Yoshida has been represented as feeling
that If Japan's representatives follow these ad-
monitionS, they will be doing in Rome what the
Romans do, rather what Americans do IN
America But one wonders where he got his in
formation. True enough, although considered
to be good form in some societies-where it is

to break jaws onomatopoea, or the art of using
language that faithfully represents natural
sounds Apart from this however Mr.. Yoshida
seems to have been mised in his Interpretation

Support for Wire Topping

One must look elsewhere than in the Senate
Crime Committees list of recommendations for
improved law enforcement to find one of the
committees more important proposals. In the
last part of section of its report devoted to
general observations and conclusions" the
committee put itself on record as favoring wire
tapping by properly constituted authorities
under certain conditions. The committees
attitude is a sensible one that deserved to be
, included in its formal recommendations for
legislation
Wire tapping" the report said, "is pow
erful tool in the hands of law-enforcement
officers. Federal agents are seriously handi-
capped in their regular enforcement work by
the legal restrictions which presently surround
this valuable instrument of investigation If
properly Safeguarded by the same restrictions
that are imposed by law upon searches and
seizures wire tapping does not infringe upon
the right of privacy of the honest citizen.
Several States, notably New York, have laws
which permit the use of wire tapping pursuant
to court order and subject ito reasonable safe
guards. These laws work satisfactorily and
without objection on the part of law-abiding
citizens. A similar Federal law would represent
an important contribution to law enforcement"
The Department of Justice repeatedly has
asked Congress for legislation to authorize wire
tapping in espionage cases and crimes in which
human life is at stake, such kidnapping, and
to permit use of such evidence in court. Nothing
has been done to date on the matter however.
Meanwhile, our enemies undoubtedly are tapping
wires as they see fit-and wondering at the
curious legal restrictions which hamper American
countereSpionage agents.

Quest for Shebo's Riches

The Associated Press reports from London
that Professor Burr Wendell Phillips, president
of the American Foundation for the Study of
Man, soon will begin excavation of Marib in
Arabia Felix He says that he is confident that
he can prove the historicity of the famous Queen
of Sheba. If his hopes are fulfilled, he will
have validated one of the great legends of
antiquity
That story generally is known through the
13 verses of the tenth chapter of l Kings, con-
firmed in part by Josephus, but not by any
reference in the two Talmuds. Strictly romantic
or imaginative literature the subject compli-
Gates it immensely. What deserves serious con-
sideration however is the AbySSinian tradition
which makes Meneik and his descendants scions
of Solomon and the rich and beautiful princess.
This contention is supported measurably by the
Koran, wherein Shebas queen is called Bilkis.
No name is mentioned in the Bible save
that of the country or city from which Solomon's
royal visitor came. That it was a wealthy realm
is proved by her very great train, with carnels
that bear spices, and very much gold, and pre-
cious stones" But it also was prodigiously rich
in people. The queen already had sent to the
king at Jerusalem 5000 boys and girls, "all born
in the same hour, all of the same height and
appearance, and all clothed in purple" Any
land that could spare such human values must
have been as Professor Phillips has declared, a
paradise, indeed
His digging is to be done at Marib, the
traditional capital of Sheba. The ruins plainly
seen above the desert sands in that quarter have
been praised by numbers of travellers. They
include what remains of vast irrigation system
with dams and viaducts which once made the
neighborhood a garden, several magnificent
J temples understood to have been devoted to the
worship of the sun and of the moon, palaces and
markets and scores of smaller structures in which
court officers and other retainers resided roughly
800 years before the commencement of the
Christian era
Professor Phillips knows the right techniques
for excavating lost cities. He-may come up with
something as exciting as the tomb of Tutank-
hamen, opened by LORD Carnarvon and Howard
Carter In 1928. "A

Sunday after Sunday I have been
reading those excellent articles by
Frank Kent regarding imitation and the
Governments failure to act against it.
Yet, it seems to me that he should not
put the blame entirely to Mr.. Truman.
He says that "chief responsibility for
this ghastly failure rests upon Mr.. Tru-
man. because he has not provided the
leadership needed to guide Congress
in curtailing expenditures. I believe
he is being carried more by his en-
thuSiasm than by real facts in that
statement.
Any one who reads the papers has
seen how special interests have fought,
through lobbies in Congress, against
any workable controls for wages, prices
and profits. Mr.. Kent should not Just
point at the labor bosses as the villains
of the drama America is witnessing
now. believe the plain people should be
criticized for not taking up the defense
OF their pockets against those rapacious
profiteers who started squeezing their
victims as soon as the war in Korea
started. 1t amazes me that in a ma
ton as this, where the index of illiteracy
is so low. where the newspapers are
an effective means of serving the public
interest, public opinion has never been
aroused to the point where it would
have been influential enough to make
Congress do an effective job. / believe
that it is up to Congress to fight that
waste and extravaganza so loudly de-
nounced by Mr.. Kent himself.
