If red herring is being dragged across the
unedifying national scene

If a red herring is being dragged across the
unedifying national scene
Had the grand jury breakdown been launched
Immediately after the Kefauver Crime Com
mfttee had made recommendations to that effect
last year, or even earlier in response to similar
suggestions by the Attorney Generals Confer
ence on Crime, public reaction undoubtedly
would have been completely favorable. There
was widespread public demand for strong action
against gangSterS as result of the Senate Crime
Committee hearings. Many grand juries, with
out awaiting orders from Washington, launched
profitable inquiries months ago. Here the grand
jury was conducting active investigations of
gambling and other racketeering even before the
Kefauver disclosures.
In the meantime, public wrath has turned
from big-city lawleSsness to the shocking spec
tacle OF gross wrongdoingS in the Government
itself, involving chiefly some key officials of the
Internal Revenue Bureau but extending even
into the Department of Justice. Belated action
to rid the Government of faithless servants has
not entirely restored public confidence in either
of these agencies. There has been no evidence
of major outbreak of crime throughout the
country at large to divert public interest from
what has been happening in Washington. Why,
then, the unheralded order for sweeping series
OF grand jury inquiries all over the Nation?
Apparently the order was as much a surprise to
the local United States attorney as it must have
been to many other Federal prosecutors Still.
regardless of motive behind the move it is to
be hoped that it will produce some constructive
results.

Lives Wasted in Koreu

Jay Jerome Williams makes the hypo-
thetical statement in a letter that
Koreans are willing to die rather than
face Communism. and they, the South
Koreans, do this under leadership of
that non-Korean. DR.. Syngman Rhee,
who even belongs to an alien religious
sect. AS a veteran of World War II,
have talked to enlisted men and officers
recently back from the front lines of
Korea and not one of them had a good
word to say for the South Koreans.
Perhaps the South Koreans were merely
rushing to the rear for bowl of kimche,
but. according to American fighting men,
as soon as a South Korean comes within
rifle shot of North Korean he retreats,
but fast.
This is probably why the United States
must use SO many hired foreign mer-
cenaries to maintain a foothold in
small and tragic country that serves
only as testing ground for the weapons
of both Red and United Nations armies.
Obviously. we have no intention of al
lowing either North or South Koreans
to choose their government; certainly,
no Korean would choose DR.. Syngman
Rhee, who has been repudiated by the
previous voting of South Koreans. The
wasting of . American lives in Korea is
the greatest crime Of the century and
should be stopped.

A Question for Vishinsky

1t would be interesting if somebody at the
United Nations meeting in Paris bluntly asked
Soviet Foreign Minister Vishnsky for fuller
explanation of his cryptic remark the other day
about Southeast Asia.
The remark was made in vishinskys vitriolic
speech preceding his monkey wrench proposal
to have the Security Council intervene in the
Korean truce talks. Accusing American author
tiles of transporting Chinese Nationalist troops
from Formosa to the ASiatic mainland, he said:
"These illegal-hagrantly illegal-acts by the
United States, we can be quite sure, will be
declared to be defensive measures against China's
aggression whenever events begin to take their
course on the southern borders of China in
Thailand, Burma and Yunnan Province"
All this is in line with charge made several
days ago by Peiping-a charge denied by Amer
lean oficials-that the United States had moved
many of GeneralisSimo Chiangs troops into
Thaiand and Northern Burma for the purpose
of carrying out "large-scale harassing activities
against the Chinese frontier. But Vishinsky'S
remark has added an ominouS note to that
charge. At any rate, although generalized, his
words about events taking their course can be
interpreted readily enough as dark hint that
the months Immediately ahead may bring on
military blow-up in Southeast ASIA They can
be interpreted, further, as an advance propa-
ganda effort to pin the blame on us for coming
act of aggression that the Communists, and the
Communists alone, are prepared to unleash out
there
Although such an Interpretation may be
alarmist, French sources have just been quoted
as saying that they have received unofficial
reports that Red China has concentrated 100000
battle-ready troops in areas directly north of
Indo-Chna. Unofficial reports, of course, must
be taken with more than grain of salt, but
STILL in this instance, they lend plausibility to
the view that Vishinskys remark-whether
deliberate or a slip of the tongue-should be
weighed carefully as a threatful forecast of
things to come.
If this is not so then perhaps the Soviet
Foreign Minister can be persuaded to speak less
graphically. Exactly what is the meaning of
what he has said? Some one ought to stand up
in the U. N. and put the question to him
pointblank.

McGrath's sudden announcement of Nation
wide grand jury investigation of crime came
while his position as the Governments chief
law enforcement officer was insecure to say

over revelations by congressional committees of
corruption and incompetency in the Government

out mote in newsman's eye? The ex-
ample at hand is five inches of type on
page one, of The Star describing the
death by fire of couple in Chatta-
nooga. Apparently the claim to fame of
this unfortunate pair, and the justifica-
ton for placing the notice of their death
on page one, lies in the fact that they
succeeded in acquiring football coach

Permit me to have the final say about
the football season, including the bowl
games. They have, proven beyond doubt
the utter nonsense of the system which
enabled weak Tennessee team to be-
come No. l in the mythical rankings.
Except for Kentucky, Tennessee had met
no worthy opponents capable of offering
competition. For example, not one Big
Ten or Pacific Coast team was included
on the Vols schedule. It is a relatively
simple feat to achieve victorious season
with the likes of Chattanooga, Tennessee
Tech and Washington and Lee. This also
could apply to Maryland, for they are
still basking in the glory of last years
miraculous upset of Michigan State
which had spent itself the previous week
on Michigan.
In the first place. the Big Ten and
Notre Dame admittedly play the
toughest schedules in the country. (As
an example Notre Dame has just
scheduled Penn, Texas and Oklahoma
for next year,. All Big Ten teams must
play at least five conference opponents.
Ergo the national ranking should center
on the Big Ten and Notre Dame. Then
consider the other schools, including the
Southern Conference.
Neither Maryland nor Tennessee will
receive the recognition sought unless
they are willing to meet recognized
grldiron power. When Maryland can
emulate the Fighting Irish in meeting
Penn, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan
State and Southern California, among
others. in one season. then she can lay
claim to the mythical title and not

"In The Air Force"
By EIoine townsend Dickerson

Dear Friends:
Wednesday, April 25, 1851, Lynne,
Dawn and 1 boarded one of Eas-
tern Airlines Constellation Planes,
here in Tampa, bound for Miami,
to spend the remainder of the week
with the George H. Diapers in Col
den Beach. Hayes had a three-day
pass beginning Friday and would
drive over to the east coast and
join us then. / had flown before,
often with Hayes as the pilot, but
l stepped on this massive plane full
of excitement and trepidation.
Soon the steward told Hayes he
would have to leave the plane, as
it was time to take off. l knew we
would be fine and that Hayes would
see us IN a matter of hours, but
nevertheless, l cried, as we said
goodbye. Lynne cried, and little
Dawn, knowing nothing better to
do, followed suit. Soon the girls
were whisked away by the two

were with the Drapers. To this
day l am sure those two stewards
and the passengers who gave us
such royal attention, thought Hayes
was on his way to Korea, because
he was in uniform, and that We
were flying home to Mamma.
Many Delawareans have stopped
to see Uncle Dick and Aunt Laura:

ating when 1 say how lovely it is
They live on Center Island at Gold
en- Beach, the Atlantic Ocean il
front and the Inland Waterway a

ish in style, and is surrounded b,
a nice yard containing various
shrubs, palm and cOcOanut trees

l believe it was Friday at noon

and eating roast beef, tongue,
shrimp, lobster, bits of various sal
ads, ice tea and 'filling up" on hot
rolls and buns.
Saturday at noon, neighbOrs of
the Diapers asked Laura and me
out for lunch at the Kenilworth
Hotel, where Arthur Godfrey stays,
while Hayes and Uncle Dick went
fishing. Luncheon, again, was won
derful and afterwards, an added
treat was window shopping along
the famous Lincoln Road in Miami.
When we returned to Center Is
land the six and one half foot sail
fish that Uncle Dick caught, after
IA years trial, in his % #. Girls
Craft, was the topic of conversa-
tion at dinner that night. Hayes
catch for the day was two nice size
dolphin. Speaking of eating dinner
the Drapers' dining room over
looks the canal and one views gor-
geOus motoring yachts as one eats
"Milly's" wonderful meals.
Saturday night we drove into
Miami and spent the evening at
Bill Jourdan's Bar of Music. Bill
Jourdan, a musician himself, play
ed the piano quite beautifully and
also introduced other talent to his
customers. We were quite surpris-
ed when Arne Snltan's name was
mentioned. Mr.. Sultan entertained
at the Cabana and the Pines in Re-
hoboth for many summers. We
talked to Arne during the evening.
Last summer he fulfilled engage
ments in Canada and said he
wouldn't be back to the Delaware
shore for several seasons because
his repertoire had become stale to
his Delaware audiences.
We left Golden Beach for Mac
Dill Sunday noon Zone hour by

eled the Tamiami Trail so that
Lynne Howard could see her first
real live Indian" This produced
the only disappointment of the
whole trip-she thought they didn't

CHRIST IN POETRY by Thomas
Curtis Clark and Hazel Davis Clark,
editors. Association Press, New
York. $3.49. The greater numbel
of these poems were written in the
present century. There are more
than five hundred selections in this
outstanding volume of reference.
The book will have long and use
full life. The editors are not strang-
ers in the realm of verse, and Mr..
Clark has produced several vol
umes relating Faith. and Human
Need. This title presents the min
istry and message of Christ in a
fifth gospel according to the
poets" There are several divis-
ions so arranged as to mark the
wOrld-changing events in the life
of our Lord. Many readers will
find what this reviewer found: the
poem you have been looking for.
The book is highly recommended
for all who use poetry in public
speech and private devotions, or
who just enjoy reading it.
KEYS TO RICHER LIVING by
Lewis L. Huntington. Macmillan,
New York. 50. Interesting SER
mons preached to a large student
congregation. The topics have mod
ern appeal, and the viewpoint is
liberal. There is an abundance of
illustrative material, and a gift in
using it rightly. The volume is in
spiratiOnal, however, and not in the
tradition of great preaching. when
we give our whole selves in some
good cause, we automatically turn
the stream of consciousness away
from self and out toward God and
the world. And when we do that.
we open the way for God to build
something of eternal values into
our own lives which eventuates
in better health and Wilderness of
body, mind and spirit"
