Alaska as a Weothervone

Objective observers of the Alaska political
scene believe that local issues were primarily
responsible for the Republican gains in the
territorys general election last week. That
being the case, the trend to the G. o. p could
hardly be considered reliable barometer Of
national sentiment.
It is interesting however, that in the opinion
of these same observers the principal local issue"
is the administration of Governor Ernest Gruen-
ing, who is New and Fair Deal appointee.
Generally speaking, the Democratic strength in
the territory is found in the party organization,
among the government employees and among the
newcomers of postwar years. The older residents
and property owners provide the backbone of
the Republican strength High costs of living
and high taxes enacted by past Democratic
legislatures played large part in the campaign.
In these circumstances there is, therefore,
some parallel to the issues confronting the voters
in the 48 States. Although Alaskas Delegate to
the House of Representatives, E. L. Bartlett, has
enjoyed great personal popularity in the terri
tory, his reelection by much smaller margin
than in 1850 reflects the gradual trend away from
the Democratic preference that has been show
ing up in the northern peninsula in recent years.

This and That

A recent A. P. dispatch from Florence.
Italy, told of a big clock there which
broke down after 275 years Of running.
Experts decided 1t was beyond repair.
That same thing has happened to
millions of home clocks. but in almost
all cases something Is done about 1t.
During the war, neurological classes
were set up by the Government, and
thousands of ambitious young men took
courses.
Templeton Jones had one Of these
boys repair one of his clocks, and the
instrument hasn't run since. AS result,
in one mind at least, the value Of Gov
ernment instruction in clock repair Is
dubious.
In the old days. every home had q
clock, in some cases the large grand
father sort.
Then there were cuckoo clocks, and
Seth Thomas clocks. and later there
came fancy specimens to put on parlor
maptels.
One of the latter showed dapper
young lady in bronze. holding aloft the
whole clock, which swung on pivot as
the pendulum.
Maybe this description isn't too good,
but that was It,
The whole clock, not just pendulum.

Today there are clocks run by changes
Of atmospheric pressure, to say nothing
Of the ubiquitous electric clocks.

Odds Against Juywolker

I hope that II AM A JAYWALKER"
card read about in The Star will get
results. People may ask, "Just what Is
jaywalker?" To me, jaywalker is
pedestrian who crosses the street In
such a way as to jeopardize his life in
traffic. Are many people jaywalkers?
Chances are they are, although they
may not always be aware or it.
When you jaywalk, you are doing two
things wrong. First, do you realize
that when you cross the street against
a red light. you are violating article 10,
section 81 of the Traffic Regulations Of
the District? And do you know that
when you suddenly dart from the curb
into the path Of a vehicle, you are
violating section So, subsection (a) Of
the same regulations?
But what is worse, you are risking
your life in a one-sided contest. Can
there be any doubt of the outcome when
you pit your 100 pounds of flesh and
bone against $500 pounds of onrushing
steel?
There is no better time than right
now for all pedestrians to be on guard
against traffic danger. With the be-
ginning Of winter and its reduced vis-
ibility, the pedestrian Is now facing the
most dangerous period of the year and
our traffic records prove that.

Clay's Omnibus Bill for compromising
the bitter issues that threatened to dis
rupt the Union. This speech all but
wrecked Webster politically. The aboli-
tionists excoriated him, but he stood his
ground because he spoke for the Con-
stitution and the Union. II mean to
stand on the Constitution" he thun-
dered. II need no other platform"
The noblest effort Of Webster's career
was the result of debate in January,
1880, over an unimportant resolution on
public lands. In this momentous debate
Webster emerged as the champion Of
Union and the Constitution against
States Rights and Notification.
In q powerful speech, Senator Robert
Y. Hayne of South Carolina asserted the
sovereignty of the States. declaring that
each State, when ratifying the Constitu-
tion, reserved the right to interpret its
meaning to suit its needs. It was the
doctrine of Nullincation. Hayne. in pass
ing, cast singing slurs at New England
for disloyalty in the War Of 1872.
At noon. January 26. 1880. Webster
rose to reply to Hayne. The galleries
and even the aisles of the old Senate
chamber were packed. To fellow Sena-
tor who told Webster 1t was high time
the people of the country should know
what the Constitution Is. Webster replied.

Clocks took q dive forward in recent
years. with the clock radios. now 80
popular.
These instruments will do almost
everything, from turning on an alarm
to starting the coffee to perk.
Templeton Jones remembers when he
was about 10 years old.
For some reason, now forgotten. the
boys in his group decided to buy
cuckoo clock.
Probably they had read something
about clock making. Jones has forgotten
the details. The boys were always doing
something new. It seems to him, looking
back over the years. that the small boys
Of that day had more imagination than
the kids today. Or had they?
Times change, and memory with
them; education goes through fiipf1ops,
and some people now say the children
can't spell. Certainly many of the bright
young men one hears on radio can't
pronounce words correctly. But English,
or American. is q difficult language. at

must simply know how to pronounce.

adult form, cruel little boys and girls who delight
in tormenting cats, pulling the wings off butter-
flies and making life miserable for their play
mates. Perhaps they are cases of arrested
evelopment-emotionaly immature or mentally
retarded-and maybe they should be dealt with
tolerantly for that reason. It is hard to think
Of them, however, and still have a sense of
charity. After all, though there are relatively
few of them their outrageous behavior de1les
the democratic process and justifes the feeling
that when they are caught the law, instead of
treating them gently, ought to throw the book
at them just as hard as they throw their mean

"Then. by the blessing Of Heaven, they
shall learn, this day, before the sun goes
down, what I understand it to be-"
Webster spoke for three hours, seldom
referring to his notes. Next day he spoke
for two more hours. His speech fills 70
pages. It demolished Haynes superb
effort. It has often been compared with
Demosthenes' Grafton on the Crown. AS
Webster uttered his closing words, Lib
erty and Union, Now and Forever, One
and Inseparable" his audience sat in alb
solute silence, spellbound.
Horses were Webster's special delight.
He buried his favorite, Steamboat, stand
ing up and bridled under stone on

The story is told that during his own
last illness. Webster-no teetotaler-
overheard the doctor tell attendants to
give him spoonful of brandy every Is
minutes while "he still lives" Webster
became q clock-watcher. One day when
he was at particularly low ebb his nurse
believed he had passed on and he was
not given his due on the quarter hour.
Feeble but determined, Webster opened
his eyes and said: II still live" He got
the brandy.

Get the Movement Started

OF the numerous constructive suggestions
contained in the Clarke -Rapuano report to the
National Park Service none Is more important
than the recommendation for early demolition of
temporary buildings on the Mall and other park
areas. The report stresses point that has not
been given sufficient attention in weighing the
future of the so-called "tempos." This is that,
in addition to being scars on the landscape, they
are generating traffic and parking problems that
are in conflict with the basic purpose of the
long-range park program.
The report rightly contends that adequate
planning Of Washington's traffic and transit
facilities is impossible until the fate of the
Sprawling temporary offices and barracks along
Constitution avenue and in East Potomac Park
Is settled. Some of these structures have sur
vived since World War 1.-The too-permanently-
built Navy and Munitions Buildings being prime
examples. Others were erected during World
War II. All were placed on park land with the
solemn promise of administration officials that
they would be removed as soon as the emergency
passed. But the emergency never seems to end,
as far as carrying out this pledge Is concerned.
In urging removal of the buildings, the park
consultants point out that more than $4,000 Fed
eral employees move into and out of the temporary
Offices every day, most of them in their own
automobiles. "The long and sustained effort to
remove these disfgurements from the parks
of the central composition" the report says,
"came to an abrupt halt at the start of World
War II, when new accumulation of temporary
structures was begun. Their removal is still
essential to the proper development and use of
the central-area parks and to the dignity of the
Nations Capital" The firm recommends that
the National Parks Service take the initiative"
In formulating a plan for elimination of the
ugly "tempos" from park reservations.
Gilmore D. Clarke, a member OF the con-
sulting firm can speak with authority on this
subject because he was chairman of the Fine
Arts Commission during the period when the
World War II temporary Offices and barracks
invaded the Mall and East Potomac Park Under
the circumstances prevailing at the time it would
have been futile to protest. The most that he
and other defenders of the parks could do was
to ask that the plans include an understanding
that the flimsy structures would be torn down as
soon after the close of the war as feasible. That
understanding was reached by all concerned.
But no definite move toward carrying out that
agreement has yet been made, although the
war for which the Offices were intended came
to a close seven years ago.
It will take initiative on the part of some
one or some agency to get action-and, as the
Clarke report suggests, the National Parks
Service is the logical agency to launch the move.
It is sure to have widespread support in any
such effort.

Mr.. AttIee Wins a Round

Clement Attlee has won the latest skirnish
in the long campaign for control of the British
Labor Party but the fight is not yet over
BY margin of 1873 to ST. the Labor Party
members in Parliament have voted resolution
calling for dissolution of factions within the
party. Sponsored by Mr.. Attlee, the resolution
is aimed at the Bevanite clique which the party
leader has branded "a party within party"-a
Stigmatic designation in British politics. Whether
Mr.. Bevan and his followers will abide by the
directive is uncertain but the vote is clear
majority Endorsement of the Attlee leadership.
It had been speculated in advance that a defeat
or close vote on the issue would have prompted
Mr. Attlee to resign his leadership and to attempt
to swing the majority to support Of Herbert
Morrison.
The aggressive and relatively young Mr..
Bevan has good chance to win the party lead
ership eventually. His emphasis on domestic
problems and extension of the socialist expert
ments that were initiated while the Labor Party
was in power has substantial public appeal. His
greatest obstacle, aside from the experienced
skill of his party adversaries, is the opposition
OF the powerful trades unions which disapprove
OF his compromising attitude toward the menace
OF world communism. He did, however, score
significant victory last month when he and five
OF his followers won places on the party's Ma
tional Executive Committee of 25
Despite the bitterness between the two Labor
Party WINGS the leadership on each side is re-
ported anxious to avoid a clean and permanent
split. Held together, the party is large and
powerful minority in Parliament with good
chances Of taking back the government within
the coming few years. To split, as 1t did in 1884,
probably would consign the party to long period
out Of power IA years of minority status resulted
from the rupture in 1881. It is doubtful If the
Bevanites will risk taking the responsibility for
breaking the party in two. Much of the younger
blood of the party is on the Bevan side although
the Attlee- Morrison faction includes such force
full and promising younger members as Hugh
Gaitskell, former Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Rather than drive the Bevanites out of the party,
Mr. Attlee may now adopt strategy Of greater
tolerance toward them while attempting to build
up a line Of succession that would eventually
bring some one of the Gaitskel type to the
leadership.

Korea and Politics

One Of the finest examples Of admin
istration stupidity that has come to light
in this campaign was President Tru-
mans remark that Gen. Eisenhower
had been his chief military adviser since
he made Ike chief Of staff and that II
Ike had remedy for the Korean situ-
alton it was his duty to tell the Presi-
dent now and save lives right away.
Another very famous general, q very
fine Republican, to boot. told Mr.. Tru-
man what to do about the Korean war
and was fired for it.
In any event, it Is an even bet that
Ike would not say to show the white
feather but to go all out and quit the
fearful. Chamberlain-like and Acheson-
tmpelled cowardice that has cost this
country so much of its dynamic integrity
as to almost bring every courageous
American to shame.
This Democrat chant Of preserving
the peace when there is no peace and
every one in the country knows they'll
have to fight anyway, when Russia is
ready, Is a lot Of supine asininity.

his credit he did not ask any questions.

the article.

When Templeton Jones installed his
clock in his own room, it was SEN

And then, the very first question she
asked was the one the clerk refrained
from asking:

He Was q Majestic Figure in Congress "
By Edword Boykin

EEW Americans have engraved their
Il memory on the Nation SO mdellbly
as Daniel Webster, who died at his
home, Marshfield, Mass, 100 years ago
today. He was the last of the Great
Triumvirate-Clay. Calhoun and Web
ster-who once reigned on Capitol Hill
like three gods sitting on Americas po-
litical Mount Olympus.
AS defender of the Constitution.
Wester stood guard at its portals Tor
40 years. AS eXpounder OF the Con-
stitution, he defined its principles so
clearly and inspiringly that 1t became
q living document that every one could
understand.
AS Webster lay dying, he had the
Stars and Stripes nailed to the mast
of a little boat moored on a pond be-
meath his window so that he could see
the flag from his bedside. He asked that
at night ships lantern be lighted and
hung beside the flag so that he could
see the banner which, in his greatest
speech, he called "the gorgeous ensign
of the Republic" It was symbolic OF
his life.
Webster was probably the most pic
turesque, dynamic and eloquent figure
ever to appear in Congress. Inspiring
phrases fell like jewels from his lips. He
was a master of rhetoric. He had a rich.
sonorouS voice, a commanding appear
ance and deep. abiding reverence Tor
fundamentals Of the Union.
Washington has never known greater
social lion than Webster. He was q
"god-like one" and looked the part. Ar
rayed in Whig uniform copied from the
Revolution-blue coat and breeches with
gilt buttons, buff waist-coat. high white
cravat-he was impressive. It was Jenny
Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, who
after meeting Webster on her visit to
Washington in 1850, exclaimed, Il have
seen man."
Son of Revolutionary veteran, Web
ster was born in Salisbury, New Hamp-
shire in 1882. Destined to become
champion of the Federal Constitution,
he made its acquaintance as boy when
he purchased at the village store large
cotton handkerchief on which the text
of the Constitution was crudely printed.
He went to Dartmouth and then
studied law. Inevitably drawn into poll
tics. he entered the House Of Represen-
tatives in 1912. Here he sat with Henry
Clay and John Calhoun. the other mem
bers of the Great Triumvirate who were
one day to dominate the Senate.
Webster served eight years in the
House and 10 years in the Senate. He
was Secretary Of State under three Pres
idents: Harrison, Tyler and Fillmore.
In 1927 he made his debut in the Sen
ate where his magnetic voice was to
enchant his listeners for two decades.
His last great speech was his Seventh Of
March Speech in 1850 supporting Henry
