that soon moves down the Patux-
ent and anchors to prepare
for an attack on Baltimore.
At this juncture Francis Scott
Key, a lawyer residing in
Georgetown, is importuned to
approach the British under a
flag of truce and ask the release
of Doctor Beanes whom he had
known for years. President
Madison gives immediate ap-
proval to Keys proposed mis-
sion.
The most dependable account
of Keys visit to the British fleet
and of the origin of the Star
Spangled Banner comes from
the memory of Roger Brooke
Taney. Keys brother-in-law and
later Chief Justice of the United
States. But Taney did not write
out this account until 1856, AZ
years after the event. Even so
it bears all the earmarks of au-
thenticity and is the accepted
story of this great chapter of our
history. Not once did Taney give
a name to the ship on which
Key sailed down the Chesapeake
on his memorable mission.
Key found the British fleet
Evening star., 1952-09-14

at the mouth of the Potomac.
He was courteously received by
Admiral Cochrane. but when he
made known the purpose of his
mission he found the British in
no mood to comply. Key had
to win over against the objec-
tions of both the Admiral and
General Ross. just what Key
said that finally prevailed on the
British was never recorded, ex-
cept that Doctor Beanes was
represented as having been kind
to British wounded left behind
on the march to Washington.
Key. Colonel Skinner and Doc
tor Beanes, just released, were
transferred to the frigate Sur
prise. commanded by Admiral
Cochrane's son. Here they were
given the run of the ship but
held incommunicado while the
f1eeS moved up the Chesapeake
to the Patapsco and spread out
for the attack on Baltimore.
On the morning of September
10 Key and his party were trans
ferred to their own little ship
under guard of British ma
rines to prevent them from
landing and giving out informa-
ton about the British move
ments. Already Key had
watched the British make their
landing at North Point, IL miles
from the city.
Fleet Spreods Out
From the deck Of the cartel
ship achored just behind the
fleet Key watched every move
of the British attack on Fort
McHenry. The fleet spread out
in two concentric arcs. The
bomb ships with the frightening
names-Meteor, Terror, Aetna.
Devastation and Volcano-held
the front arc. Early on Septem-
ber 13 these killer-ships opened
fire on Fort McHenry which re-
turned the fire hotly. Through
out that day the fleet kept up
it's attack, pouring shell and
bombs unsparingly on the little
fort. Night came on but there
was no sleep for Key and his
friends. Key did not know it.

with the red mark Of commu-
nism. But the old divisions
remain.
Take this example: Before the

had been eyed covetously by
Poland. In the post-Munich
crisis Poland succeeded in wrest-
ing this land from the PROSTATE
Czechs. After the war the prov
ince was restored to Czechoslo-
vakia. However, the Poles still
claim it as theirs. No amount of
"peacemaking" by the Soviets
can prevent mutterings of mu-
tual distrust on both sides of
the frontier.
Tronsylvoniu Cose
Pennsylvania is a similar case.
This region of enchanting hills
and story-book villages, now in
the north Of Romania. has been
a bone of contention between
Hungary and Romania for many
years. It is too hopelesSly mixed
up, racially, to find content
ment easily. Twice In the last
40 years the RomanianS and
Hungarians have fought bitter
ly over possession of this land.
During and after the last war
the Soviet Union effected con-
siderable correction of its
frontier-at the expense of
Poland. In spite of the "gift"
to Poland of former German
Upper Silesia, however, the
Poles are far from reconciled
to the loss of thousands Of
square miles of rich wheat land.

Hormony Veneer
The establishment Of the
Cominform, a Soviet style
united nations" laid a veneer
of harmony over the troubled
surface of Eastern Europe. It
pretended to the world that
real charity and forgiveness
had replaced the squabbling
and backbiting of the "era of
bourgeois Imperialism" 1t de-
scribed itself as a united front
against the threat of reaction

United States. The Tito re-
bellion of 1948, of course. rude
ly shattered this delusion.
Tito is a Communist, but he is
also a Balkan patriot. This
schism within the Communist
ranks was precipitated not only
by Tito's objections to Kremlin
interference in Yugoslavia but

In Roger Brooke Taney's
memoir of what Key told him
on his return there is this: "Key

it was fired until it fell, listening
with breathless interest to hear

But what was the name Of

No one knows. The ship was not

partment is willing to vouch for
that.

The legend Of the Minden.
the little cartel ship on which
Francis Scott Key was supposed
to have composed 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" is no more.
The Navy Department has just
torpedoed it.
Speaking through Rear ADJ
miral (retired) John B. Heffer-
nan, director of Naval Records
and History. the Navy Depart
ment says there was never an
American naval vessel named
Minden. Nor has the Navy De-
partment any record of a cartel
ship so named that was used
during the War of 1912.
This. OF course. skaters the
legend of a ship that has sailed
a ShadoWy existence across the
pages of American history and
leaves its name still shrouded
in the mists of a long-gone war.
Today, September IA, is the
138th anniversary of the writ
ing of 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" For most of these
intervening years it has been
accepted as fact that while Key
paced the deck of a schooner
named Minden, watching every
shell, from the moment it was
fired until it fell" on Fort Nc
Henry, he was inspired to write
the immortal poem that became
our national anthem. Now the
Navy says there was no Minden.
Persistent Myth
How or where the Minden
myth got started no one seems
to know. Key himself left no
record of the name of the craft
that carried him on the mis-
sion that brought him endur-
ing fame. First-rank historians
by scores have accepted and
perpetuated the legend. In his
Field Book of the War of 1912
written a century ago) the
eminent BENJAMIN F. Losing
hands down the legend without
reservation.
One likely source of it's origin
may be found in this sidelight:
Soon after the War of 1912 it
was widely circulated that Key
had watched the bombardment
of Fort McHenry from the deck
of the British frigate Minden, a
unit of the attacking fleet. But
the British Admiralty quickly
scotched this idea by stating
that the frigate was not at.
tached to the fleet operating in
Chesapeake Bay, but was at the
time flagship of the East<Indian
Squadron. So persistent was this
particular yarn. however, that
when this frigate was finally
broken up souvenir pieces of her
timbers were eagerly sought by
Americans then residing in Brit
ain.
The Minden story just refused
to die. Forty years ago Keys
grandson, Francis Scott Key
Smith. Washington attorney,
wrote a small book in which he
positively identified the cartel

Gen. Eisenhower and G. o. p.
foreign policy expert John Fos-
ter Dulles recently stirred up a
lively discussion on the best way
to get the peoples of Eastern
Europe out from under Soviet
domination. The general ad-
vocated a step-up in the cam
paign to encourage and sup
port discomfort in such coun>
tries.
His critics said such a PLAZA
risked melting revolutions that
would be suicide as long as So
Wet rulers were in control, be-
cause the revolts would be put
down ruthlessly. They claim the
only way to make a revolt stick
would be to follow it up with an
invasion that could take over
from Stalin's henchmen. The
critics say America is not ready
to do that.
Another alternative method
now being put forth with in
creasing regularity is to promote
Titoism among Russia's East
European allies. It's propo-
nentS claim that this plan would
have the advantage of avoiding
slaughter of what revolution
aries have escaped previous Red
purges.
Both these theories presup-
pose a sizable amount of antago-
nism against the Soviet Union.
In addition there is a residue of
hard feelings between individual
satellites.
Antoeonisms Remain
Soviet control Of Eastern
Europe has failed to erase those
bitter antagonisms that have,
twice in one generation, fared
up into world wars.
The swath Of nations stretch
ing from the Baltic to the
Aegean Seas has for centuries
been racked by internal conflict.
In spite Of the Kremlin's Oft
repeated declarations of East
European unity" the suspicious
between nations remain.
Never completely in command
of it's own destiny, this unhap-
py part OF Europe has tradi-
tionally been the victim Of
squeeze plays" between Ger
mans on the march to the east
and Russians pushing west.
Suspicion of ones neighbor is
q characteristic of Eastern
Europe. This is partly due to
the fact that there have been
so many racial groups to be
welded into strong national
units and partly to the fire.
quent eruptions of power politics
into the lives of small nations.
AS one large nation after an
other rushed to fill the power
vacuum of this region the weak
nesses of East Europe were ex-
plotted, pitting neighbor against
neighbor; corrupting key classes
and key men; using the tactics
of divide and rule. Now Rus

ship as the Ninden. Mr.. Key
Smith did not give his author
ity for his statement. But ap-
parently he was later dissatisfied
with his own Identification. A
decade later he made a COM
prehensive search for the facts
and came up with this conclu-
sion: While no documentary
evidence has yet been discovered
that would clear up the question
OF the name of the boat. the
probabilities are, and I am of
the opinion, that this little YES
sci was the cartel Minden."
Why the Minden?
But why should an American
ship be named Minden in the
first place? Certainly Americans
in the early 1800s were not
christening their ships or any
thing else with the name of a
British victory. Minden was a
town in Prussia where the Brit
ish won an important victory in
the Seven Year War. The Brit
ish frigate was named for that
triumph.
But let's go back 1873 years
to September 1914 and take a
look at what actually happened.
Washington has been sacked
and burned. The ruins are still
smoking. The black, scared walls
of the Capitol and Presidents
mansion bear mute witness to
the fury of the invaders. Presi-
dent Madison and his Cabinet
have returned to the blackened
city from their hideouts in Vir-
ginia.
The British, flushed with VIC
tory at Bladensburg and the
desecration of the "harbor of
democracy" are retiring to their
transports on the Patuxent
whence they came.
Dr.. Beones Arrested
AS they pass through Upper
Marlboro they arrest Doctor
William Beanes. a much-re-
spected citizen. who is charged
with preventing British strag-
glers from plundering the town.
Much alarmed. Doctor Beanes'
friends seek his release, which
is refused. The physician is

strained him from realizing an
old dream-a South Slav Fed
Grafton.
Linked closely to this feud
was the resurgence of the Ma
cedonian problem, another Bal
kan jigsaw puzzle. Macedonia
is the habitat of more nation
. alities per square mile than any
other place in the east of Eu-
rope. Today's Macedonia is
shaped like an inverted pyra-
mid. It's apex rests on the Greek
harbor city of Salonika and
bulges out into Northern Greece.
covering the bulk of Southern
Yugoslavia and the southwest
ern corner Of Bulgaria.
At the close of the Balkan
wars of this century the bulk
of the Macedonian region was
assigned to Serbia, which, after
the First World War, became
part of Yugoslavia. This was
resented by the Bulgarians who
got only a small part of the old
Macedonia.
South SIov Group
At the close of World War II,
Yugoslavia and Bulgaria found
themselves in the novel position
of being on the same side of the
political fence. both with Com
munist regimes. For some time
there was speculation about a
Greater South Slav Fedora
tion," of which the Macedonian
Peoples Republic would form an
important part. When, however,
the Cominform feud broke out
between Tito and the rest (and
some say it was precipitated by
this very plan) unification
schemes appeared to be doomed.
A new fight flared. Yugo-
slavia lashed out at Bulgaria,
recalling that even it's Com
munists had favored Axis oc-
cupation of Yugoslavia. Tito
told the world that his Mace
donian state had a govern
ment of its own, while Bulgaria 3
had no self-government. The
charge was hurled back by the
Bulgarians. accusing Yugoslavia
of collaborating with the West
and of having designs on Bull
garian Macedonia. It may we'll
have been fear Of a Tito Greek
plot to seize Bulgaria's Mace
donian lands that caused Bull
garia to extend itself to Gamma
Island recently.
AS long as Russia holds sway
in Eastern Europe, the Slavs
cannot hope for a real solution
to their ills. The Cominform
is an agency created by Russia
to prevent any real unity be-
tween the East Europeans. Rus
sia historically-views pan
Slavism as means of achieving
Russian domination of East
Europe and the Cominform is
its present instrument. If East
ern Europe were to be really
united. it would oppose Russia.
