Still for Stevenson

May point out to the writer Of the
letter, Stevenson Was Going, Too" that
though Gov. Stevenson planned to 60 to
Korea, he did not use the fears of the
mothers and wives of our soldiers in
Korea to win votes, and made no public
announcement of his plan? He is evi-
IDENTIFY one of those rare individuals who
would rather be right than be President
and would not promise what he knew
he could not fulfill. Throughout the
campaign he repeatedly stated that he
could promise no panaceas, that there
was no quick and easy solution to the
Korean problem.
It was reported in the New York Times
during the campaign that one OF Gen.
Eisenhower's writer's had suggested the
idea of the trip to Korea, a suggestion
for which he was rewarded with posi-
ton in the President-elect's administra-
ton. Within minutes of Gen. Eisen-

To the Editor Of The Stor::

N1EAR the bottom of the first column
of the first page of the first issue of
the Daily Evening Star, as reproduced
in your Centennial Edition, was an ad-
vertisement. It related that a new
magazine, Putnam'S Monthly, would
commence on the first of January, 1883"
Among those who would contribute
articles for this new publication were
Washington Irving Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, H. w. Longfellow, r. w. Emerson
and number of other famous men of
the time, including Prof Lieber." I
wonder how many of your present
readers identified prof Lieber," one of
the great liberals of the 18th century,
a freedom loving immigrant who became
a confidential adviser to President Lin
coin.
Francis Lieber was born in Berlin,
March 18, 1900. At g. he witnessed the
triumphant march of Napoleon's army
into Berlin. He hated the conquering
Emperor for humiliating his native
Prussia When Lieber was Is, he joined
volunteer contingent which marched
from Berlin toward Waterloo, village
near Brussels. He was shot through the
neck at Namur. After suffering excru-
ciating pain and neglect, he was finally
discharged and returned home. He wrote
later, I'm one year, had grown older
many years"
At Gray CloiSter Gymnasium in Ber-
lin, a combined preparatory and high
school, he came under the influence of
Frederick Lewis jain, who stressed
gymnastics and nationalism for united
Germany. Lieber became leader. i'm
bibing the spirit of freedom then rising
among the youth, especially veterans of
the Napoleonic wars. Soon he, Jahn and
other liberals became suspect to the
strong reactionary Prussianism. They
were considered subversive. Lieber had
actually written childish verses and
essays in praise of liberty!
BY 1921, the Greek revolution for in
dependence from Turkey was raging. AL
though forbidden to leave the country,
Lieber slipped out on false passport,
walked to Marseille and sailed for
Greece. There, he and his companions
were housed in an empty building, with
out food. They were robbed by the
natives. They suffered intolerable con-
ditions even in their efforts to find the
Greek army of independence. Lieber
finally reached the port of Missolonghi.
where year or so later Lord Byron
was to die of fever, also trying to help

that appear all too frequently in newspapers
indicate that the average parents suspicion Of
strangers Is justified.

chances with gangster movies, distasteful though
they may be- But it is another matter when the

Private Enterprise and the Atom

In it's report to the President the National
Security Resources Board has recommended,
among many other things, that the Atomic
Energy Act be amended to permit private enter
prise to exploit the harnessed atom for beneficial
commercial purpoSeS-particularly for the pro-
duction of electrical power that could be used to
light cities and run factories
AS far as essentials are concerned this
recommendation fully supports one of the i'm
portant non-military objectives of the Atomic
Energy Commission. AS matter of fact for
the past couple of years, the Acc has been
working closely with several private utility COM
panies on project designed to speed up progress
toward utilizing the atom for peacetime power.
The project is now we'll advanced, though q
lot of big technical and economic questions
remain to be answered.
There is no doubt, either in the Acc or
among the cooperating utility companies, that
nucear energy will eventually be able to COM
pete on equal terms-or better -than-equal terms
with coal, gas oil and falling water as major
source of industrial power. The cost factor runs
very high at present. but the day is coming,
probably before 1860, when the atoms expoita-
ton will be commercially feasible in this field.
The progress being made with reactorS-particu-
larly the ones being built to drive our revou-
tionary S. S. Nautilus, which will be the worlds
first atomic submarine-is firm guarantee on
that score.
1t is because of this prospect that the
NSRB has advocated that our atomic law be
reviewed and revised in way calculated to
encourage private industry to participate more
actively and on an ever-increasing scale in the
Nations nuclear-energy program. The recon-
mendation is altogether sound in principle, and
the Acc itself favors it. The only difficulty
involved is the difficulty of figuring out just
impairing our national security.
The problem here has to do with more than
military secrets It has to do with developing
special health and other safeguards in system
under which private companies would operate
facilities using superdeadly fashionable materials
in quantities large enough for A-weapons. This
is rather formidable difficulty, but ways Of
coping with it effectively will certainly be found
in due course.

Disillusioned and practically penni-
less, Lieber forsook Greece for Rome,
where he was befriended by DR.. Bar
thold Niebuhr, the Prussian minister
there and a great scholar and humans
tartan. 1t was through Niebuhr's in
fiuence that Lieber was allowed to
return home to resume his studies.
But, for alleged completely with liberal
movements, he was imprisoned briefly.
After that he fled to England, where he
taught German and Italian. One of
his pupils was Matilda Oppenheimer,
daughter of a rich German, with whom
he fell in love.
Lieber had no funds or steady en-
ployment, but he had brilliant mind.
a charming personality and a remark
able faculty for making friends. He
revived Jahn's ideas on physical edu-
cation and gave instruction in gymnas-
tics besides tutoring. Finally, he
obtained employment from gymnasium
association in Boston. America! Twelve
years to the day after he was wounded
at Namur, Lieber arrived in New York,
June 20, 1927. He was now 81.
In Boston. he soon met the leaders

of thought. He was engaged as the
editor of the Encyclopedias Americana.
He also lectured on history and politics
and wrote for magazines and news
papers. He still taught gymnastics and
swimming, but he always hoped for a
professorship at Harvard. His immedi-
ate problem was regular income so he
could marry Matilda Oppenheimer,
which he did in 1929. He was natural
lied in 1882.
The irony of this liberals career came
in 1885. He accepted professorship of
history and political economy in the
small ra-conseryative South Carolina
College. He taught there for 81 years
even though his ideas, particularly on
slavery and notification, clashed with
those of the trustees of the college. His
books and articles on politics and history
were ever the subject of controversy
with school authorities and when. in
1856. he was denied the presidency of
the college. he finally resigned.
Columbia College in New York
promptly appointed him to professor
ship, and his Southern exile" as he
called it. was ended. The conflicts of
the times affected Lieber's family, as it
did others. One of his sons became
Confederate soldier and was killed in
battle. while two other sons became
Union officers.
Now that he was back North, he
could proclaim freely again his political
theories on our Constitution, slavery
and nationalism (American unification
rather than German. He taught, wrote
and lectured and, during the Civil War,
became confidential adviser to Lincoln.
Through the War Department, in May,
1868. Lincoln promulgated Lieber's I'm
structions for the Government of the
Armies of the United States in the
Field" as General Order No. 100" Lin
coin directed that this "be published for
the information of all concerned" With
some modernization, these "instruc-
tions" are still in use.
Lieber'S writings cover a vast field,
even including articles for the Smith
sonian Institution. At the time of his
death on October 2, 1872. he was pro-
fesSor of political science in the law
school of Columbia University, where

Overstepping the Bounds

There is, as others have pointed out great
deal of misdirected criticism of televsion and its
effect on the young. The cowboy and gangster
movies, the space operas and grille shows often
are cheap and in bad taste. TeeviSiOn overSteps

likely to counteract the earnest teachings Of
parents.
In special point is the case of recent tele-
vision play entitled "The Trial Of Charlie Christ
mas" 1t was of particular interest to children
because it was one of the first christmas"
stories of the year, and because it came on at
that delightful pre-bedtime hour of $50.
The story opened with Charlie Christmas,
an DID, ragged and moronic bum, before the bar
of justice on charge of vagrancy. He was freed
by a Judge who declined to jail man named
Christmas on Christmas Eve. Charlie Christmas
promptly went out, broke into a store window
and stole number of toys. He was arrested on
charge of breaking and entering.
court-appointed lawyer, defending Charlie,
brought forth half dozen witnesses in his be-
half. All were children, all had toys. Because
they were poor, none would have had toys If
Charlie had not given out the fruits Of his
burglary.
But this was not simply case Of man
playing Santa Claus on the spur of the moment.
Evidence adduced at the trial showed that
Charlie had been hanging around parks since
the previous summer, and had been promising
toys to children for months He, finally delivered
on Christmas Eve.
The net effect of the show, besides justifying
burglary was to reassure children that, after all
and in spite Of what their parents might say

I noticed in The Sunday Star where
some Republican Congressman was 60
ing to introduce a bill to make Blair
House available to Vice President-elect

two homes and so many friends who
are willing to contribute money to him

My daughter has been buying lunch
over four years at school, and my son
over two years. Something must be

money for milk. They say the choco-

My son used to get hot plate every
day, plus milk, for which / gave him
40 cents. Today he forgot his lunch

as he has refused to take money to
buy lunch at school since he saw what
