Good Versus Evil

He whom we honor at this season
taught us to love our enemies, and not to
be overcome by evil but to overcome evil
with good. Our atheist enemy derides
these teachings. One of us is wrong.
That we may not be overcome by evil
we build dread weapons, faster and more
terrible than our enemy's, we hope. But
what of the rest of the teaching-"over-
come evil with good"?
BY helping others to help themselves,
we do much to overcome communisms
evil menace. We can do more.
To overcome the evil Moscow does
her satellites is harder. President-elec
Eisenhower has said we cannot rest until
they are free. He said we intend peaceful
means only.
But the evil are prone to Judge others
by themselves. Will the Kremlin believe
that although we build stupendous arms
and tell captive nations to keep up their
courage, we hope they'll soon be free-we
have no intent to force a showdown?
And will it cease to haraSs us in Korea
while it fears our intentions in Eastern
Europe?
To overcome evil with good is not to
imply promises of liberation or otherwise
incite to revolution. It is rather to dem
onStrate such generous, sincere concern
for human welfare everywhere that even
Kremlin despots will eventually concede
our peaceful intent and grudgingly at
tribute some validity to Jesus teachings.

Too Much and Too Little

Members of the British Parliament are
beginning to sound like ordinary people-com
planning that they have too much to do and
too little time in which to do it. And along with
being overworked, they feel they are being under
paid-$2 300 yearly. It all adds up, they claim,
to lot of bad temper and dangerous amount
of poorly considered legislative action.
Two solutions have been proposed The
Liberal Party in the House of Commons is sup
porting plan for setting up separate Parlia-
ments in Scotland and WaleS-Northern Ireland
has one of its own already-which would handle
the strictly domestic legislative problems of those
two countries. Another suggestion is that Com
mons rely to greater extent on the committee
system-as done by our own CongreSs-to work
out more of the legislative details and presumably
to reconcile more of the differences that keep
the House in such lengthy sessions.
Two circumstances of the times are largely
responsible for the Parliament's troubles. The
basic one is the gravity and urgency of so many

certain brand of young man in America.
With Uncle Josh, it simply looked odd.
It made no difference. The soul of
the old man was eternally sweet, serene,
placid.
He knew what he liked, and he liked
what he knew. All this was before the
age of the Great Wars. Men thought
that everything had been settled. God
was in His heaven and all was right with
the world, or at least nothing was so
wrong that the next Republican admin
istration could not correct it.
Jones can see the old man still, his
gold button showing where the tie should
have been, his violin under his chin, his
bow saving away.
Uncle Josh liked to visit homes where
some one played the piano.
He would scheme to be invited and
liked nothing so well as to be asked to
play.
He would bring his rusty old violin
case well loaded. ~
You see, it not only has the violin and
bow, but the music as well.
Uncle Josh did not call it violin.
1t was fiddle to him.
Nobody ever knew II he had played

At this time of year. Templeton Jones
always thinks of his Uncle Joshua, who
for years was clerk in the old Pension
Office.
Uncle Josh, as he was mostly called,
was not actually Jones uncle.
He was simply man from the home
town of the whole Jones clan.
At the time Jones knew him, the old
man looked at least hundred, but he
lived many years thereafter.
The last heard Of him, at least by
Templeton Jones, was in his extreme age
back in the old home place.
He went around on two canes, exem-
plifying the ancient riddle Of What goes
on two legs. but at the end goes on four?"
But that was years later. 1t was the
middle age of Uncle Josh, as the years
ran, that Templeton Jones recalls best.
The old man wore sober. black suit
winter and summer, but in the hot
months he left off the simple black
bow tie.
It always struck the boy Jones as very
odd, that gold button showing at the
front of his collar.

The old fellow was very determined in
his playing.
He beat time with one foot and woe to

Then he would lose his sweetness and

he who keeps the wheels of official life

The New Team on Defense

PreSident-elect Eisenhower has rounded up
what appears to be strong team for the
important job of directing the Nations defense
establishment. The selection of Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense and Secretaries of the Army,
Navy and Air Force completes the top echelon
of this civilian command. The choices were made
after consultation between the incoming Presi-
dent and the man whom he had earlier named
as his Secretary of Defense, Charles E. Wilson,
a procedure which indicates that the department
chief is having an influential voice in the naming
of his ranking assistants
The merit of this arrangement is particu-
larly obvious in the designation Of Roger M.
Kyes as Deputy Secretary. Mr.. Kyes new boss
was also his old boss, the two having served
together on the top side of General Motors
Corporation since 1948. Mr.. Kyes Joined the
company in that year to direct procurement and
production scheduling and more recently he has
been a vice president of the corporation. Pre-
sumably Mr.. Wilson is favorably impressed by
the abilities of his younger associate and con-
tinuance of their working partnership should
benefit the Defense Department. Certainly the
demands of modern mobilization are such that
experience in industrial procurement and pro-
duction will be an important asset in directing
the department.
The records of the three men chosen to
head the separate services reflect common
denominator of experience in Government
Robert Stevens, New York banker and indus
trialist named as Secretary of the Army, served
as chairman of the Policy Board of NFsA in 1888
and as a co-ordinator of defense contracts in
OPM during World War II. He is also member
of the Commerce Departments business advisory
council. Robert Anderson, Texas attorney
named Secretary of the Navy, is Federal Reserve
Bank director and former Texas legislator
Harold E. Talbot of New York, named Secretary
of the Air Force, has had long experience in
aircraft production and was charged with this
responsibility of the War Production Board in
1942-43.
Mr.. Talbot has been prominently identified
with the Republican Party and he was chairman
of it's national finance committee in 1948-49.
Mr.. Anderson, on the other hand is a Democrat
but he was one of the leaders of the Democrats
for-Eisenhower movement which helped bring
Texas into the Republican column in the Novem
Der voting. He is the second Texas Democrat
to receive major appointment in the new
Republican admnistration-the first being Mrs.
Oveta Hobby, who was named Director of the
Federal Security Agency-a fact which supports
the belief that Southern Democrats who backed
the Republican ticket will receive patronage
recognition from the incoming administration.
With Mr. Wilson already studying the prob
lens which will be his responsibility after Janu-
ary 20, the early naming of his top aides will
be of further help in averting any damaging
change of administration

of the issues before the legislatures of all the
free nations today The second is the very close
party division within the British House, requiring
that the full voting membership be available for
any sudden showdown on party confidence. In
Britains system, of course, major setback for
the party in power can mean downfall of
governments more serious and disrupting de-
velopment than an administration defeat in the
American Congress-.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the prob
lens of too much to do and too little time are
confined to Britons only or even to the legislators

Two-Woy Attack on Dope

Congress, having expressed concern about
the narcotics problem in Washington, should be
glad to know that it will have chance to aid in
solving it. It's opportunity will come when Fed
eral and District authorities acting with COM
mendable unanmity. present for consideration a
bill for compulsory disqualification of drug ad-
dicts-a plan long needed in the District Such
law would strike devastating blow to the dope
peddlers by removing from the community many
of their best customers At the same time, the
system would enable a large majority of drug
victims to conquer addiction and become normal
and useful citizens again.
The proposed legislation is being prepared
under the direction of United States Attorney
1relan, as result of an extraordinary conference
OF Federal and local officials interested in stamp
ing out the illicit drug traffic in Washington.
The group has become convinced that one big
weakness of the present narcotics reinforcement
program here is the lack of authority to commit
drug victims to a hospital for treatment. AS
The Star has pointed out in a recent series of
articles, the fining and release of dope addicts
works to the benefit of the racketeers who thrive
on the misery of heroin, marijuana and other
drug users
Under the new law, the courts upon COM
petent medical advice could send drug addicts
picked up by the police to one of the Federal
hospitals for victims of the dope scourge. The
whole procedure would be based on approved
"due process" methods designed to guard fully
the rights of the suspected addcts. Federal
authorities have had good success in curing men
and women of the drug habit and returning
them to their homes The proposed law would
include follow-up program designed to keep
those released under periodic observation and
treatment if necessary.
The bill would provide an effective two-way
approach to the drug problem in that it would
lend aid to drug victims while crippling the dope
racket. And any attack on this racket is an
attack on the crime problem in general, for dope
addiction breeds crimes of many kinds The
concerted support of the compulsory -hospitaza-
tion plan by so many individuals and groups in
public and private life should help to assure
prompt and effective congressional action.

Another Air Cotostrophe

AS the worlds worst aviation disaster is
added to the recent shocking series of military
air transport crashes, demands heard for
congressional investigation, for grounding of
the huge new Globemasters and for other steps
to deal with the tragic problem. Certainly the
public has a right to know that everything
possible is being done to find the cause or causes
Of these terrible accidents. There is no reason
to believe, however, that a congressional inquiry
would uncover anything not available to the
expert investigators already assigned to the grim
task. Nor is there any evidence to date that any
particular type of aircraft at fault in the
ten military plane crashes which have killed
300 persons in the past few weeks.
Only one Globemaster the Air Forces giant
C-124 transport was involved in the previous
accidents The other ill-fated aircraft all were
veteran models of established safety and re-
liability. Air Force and other investigators so
far have been unable to find common denom-
inator to blame for the series of crackupS, unless
it be the weather. Generally poor flying condi
tions have prevailed over the area from the
North Pacific through Alaska to Montana in
which the tragedies have occurred. There always
has been an increase in flying accidents in that
area at this time of the year. but the toll never
has been SO high. Most of the terrain is noun
tanouS-and majority of the lost aircraft we're
wrecked on mountain sides. The GlobemaSter
catastrophe at Moses Lake, Washington, occurred
In fiat territory, however.
The Air Force announcement that the latest
wreck took place during routine training
flight" naturally raises question as to whether
the crew of the Globemaster had been sufficiently
trained Since the term is used in broad sense
and covers flights to keep experienced pilots
and crewmen in condition, it may have no special
significance in this case. Undoubtedly the
human factor as we'll as mechanical meteoro-
logical and other factors-including the posi-
bty of sabotage-will be thoroughly explored

Segregation


The Supreme Court has now heard the
cases having to do with segregation in
the schools. Next spring we will prob
ably know the verdict. It is to be hoped
that the decision is not legalistic but
a sensible one. It is also to be hoped
that the decision is final one and that
the clamor of the various pressure
groups and the racial agitators is
stilled once and for all.
Those who argue against segregation
are probably sincere, but I find their
arguments terribly weak.
They use the added expense of
segregated schools as one argument
against that kind of school. The cost of
a school should never be the 'yardstick
used to measure what kind of school
it shall be. Rather, we should ask what
would be best for the students. I'm a
taxpayer. too, and I'd gladly pay twice
the taxes do if I thought it would
benefit the schools and the children.
Our schools are sadly lacking in many
services that other cities schools have.
This is due to the penny-pinching policy
of Congress. Our schools should be the
best in the country-but they are not.
The anti-segregation people say that
since Washington is the capital of the
world, the eyes of other nations are upon
US. Do these people think for one in
slant that any change to integration by
us is going to alter Communist propa-
ganda one iota? The Reds will find
something else. Furthermore. how does
the awful plight" of our colored citi-
zenS compare with that of colored
people in other parts of the world, for
instance in the British and French
colonies or In South Africa?
Yes, give the colored students good
schools. But in doing so, don't wreck
the education of all students, both
colored and white.

Some emotionally charged letters are
decrying the trend toward de-Segrega-
ton. Most of these outpourings indicate
a fear of intrusion on their private lives
as Negro citizens clamor for equal civil
rights.
Despite the great grief of those white
Americans who are fearful of extended
public contacts, it must be kept in mind
that colored citizens are rather clanniSh
Most of them prefer to associate socially
with each other, but want to move about
in public just as American citizens of all
colors, races. creeds and classes do.
They do object to laws that operate
against them soley on basis of race.
just as many, many white people object
to the same laws that forbid them from
associating with individuals of any race.
color or creed with which they may
desire to make contacts.
There is, of course, always reserved to

right to isolation, self-segregation and
privacy if they can afford it.

was in the holy lands in 1865. It was

he saw the little town of Bethlehem,
probably much as it was on that first
Christmas eve. He wrote, 1--WE rode out
of Bethlehem, across a field to a spot
where the shepherds were supposed to
have seen the star. AS we passed, we
could see the shepherds keeping watch
over their f1ockS, just as those shepherds
did centuries ago. Later we came back
to Bethlehem and attended midnight
Christmas services in the Church of the
Nativity, built on the spot where the
Saviour was born. This is one of the
oldest churches in Palestine. The serv-
ice and music were inspiring. The
voices blending in song told of the won
drous birth of Christ"
Three years later, in 1868, inspired BY
what he had seen that Christmas eve
night. DR.. Brooks composed the words,
and Lewis Redner, his church organist,
wrote the music of one of our most
popular carols.
o, Little toiDn of Bethlehem,
HoD still 1De see thee lie.
Above thy deep and drean,less sleep.
The silent stars 90 BY;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light,
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
In England, many of the carols are
of more lively and joyous tune. Some
were composed and sung as far back
as the 18th century. Two composed
over 600 years ago are: God Rest Ye
Merry Gentlemen" and "Let All That
Are to Mirth Inclined"
So, wherever you may be, whether on
land or on sea, the voices blended in
song, singing these beautiful carols, take
us back through the years, back to that
first Christmas when Christ was born
in Bethlehem.

Befriendinq Animals

Special Christmas treats for animals
are cherished customs in other lands In
Norway extra rations are fed the animals
in stables made especially spick and
span, and sheaves of grain are fastened
all around the houses for the birds. Why
not make this widespread in our own IA
vored America? While several large hui
name organizations do provide feasts
for work horses and now also for stray
and neglected cats and dogs, let's enlarge
this ministry. Let more homes share
their holiday cheer and feasts, or at
least the scraps therefrom, with homeless
