ing. Edward Deets said permission

spection. 1t was learned that the
Pond had been fished very hard.
Consideration is being given to
stocking the Pond with mature

people will avail themselves of
this opportunity next year.

JACKIE Gathers

Just above the All States Inn
between Rockville and Gathers

the left into Shady Grove Road
and, nearly half mile beyond the
turn, is road to the right-Gaith-

Almost as soon as one turns into
Gathers Road, one sees a farm
house on the right, at the top of a
brief hill, and there lives and works
"Jacke" Gather, who has a studio
tucked away back of the farm
house. There one can find wonder
full gifts, fashioned from odd de-
vices: gaily painted trays which
began life. as the heads of drums
which contained laundry detur-
gents; one-pair- -a-kind earrings,
the decorative portions of which

homemade dolls to thrill a baby,

upholstery and providing cozy little
chairs; bits of nylon fashioned into
very sophisticated boutonnieres.
But "Jacke" does not confine
herself to creating something diff

the studio walls include no abstract
paintings to require guessing.

Frank Hague, Former Boss

Another political milestone was passed this
week when New Jersey Democrats replaced
Frank Hague as their national committeeman.
There are few grounds on which the retire
ment of Mr.. Hague as boss of his party in New
Jersey, and for many years one of its leaders
on the national stage, need be viewed with regret
He was political dictator of the toughest and
most skillful school. In more than two decades
of power, which began to desert him in 1916
he ruled his domain without regard to principles
or people-unless they suited the pattern of
expediency for the moment. II am the law in
Jersey City," he once declared and he made
1t stick.
Still and all, no study of American political
history could fairly overlook Frank Hague. He
was supreme technician who recognized and
applied the values of intensive party organiza-
ton, who used patronage more for a purpose
than q reward, who knew where and when to
compromise If he had to, and who inspired
loyalties that were not always selfish ones. He
brought to politics that intriguing quality known
as color and no doubt the years will serve to
soften the lurid shades that surrounded him in
his heyday.

This and That

Rats are often the most prominent
creatures at nighttime catf1shing expe-
ditionS.
One fisherman swears that the big
rodents got all his fish, left in basket,
while he had his back turned.
Inlets below Alexandria are the scene
for such fishing parties; also some of
it is done in the District.
Brown rats find it a good thing to
haunt such spots at night, often getting
pieces of bait, with now and then a
fish head.
Probably few such fishermen realize
that rats are interesting.
A fish, to them, is the ultimate; they
have come to catch 'em, and they re-
sent the intrusion of other living things
A rat, however, belongs to one Of the
greatest of mammal families.
There are probably more rodents in
the world than creatures belonging to
. any other family. with the possible ex-
ception of the genus homo.
Rodents are intelligent and capable.
# the pests are not clean, especially
when it comes to being free Of germs,
which may be given to man, it is not
altogether to their discredit.
In all fairness, it must be remembered
that they suffer, too. /

Mans own skin, no matter how much
he washes. is veritable jungle of germs,
microbes and others.
No matter how much or long he cleans
his hands, surgeon would shudder at
them.
Hand washing. may be an art and
perhaps a science, but it has to be done
more thoroughly than it is by the
average human being, old or young.
Every one knows how children give a
click and a promise" to washing, but
the average adult does little better,
actually.
Washing the hands carefully just
once is not enough.
We know one WaShingtonian who
went all fall and winter without a cold,
in part, he believes, due to the fact
that he put into effect real hand
washing regime.
Each day. on getting home, he began
to wash up. as most persons do, but
he went at it with vim and vigor.
He had a brush and after a prelim-
mary lathering and rinsing, he lath-
cred his hands again and then started
to use the brush.
Scientists who have investigated hand
cleanliness believe that nothing, no
chemical whatsoever, can take the place

The Threat Is Clear

1t probably is safe to say that neither Pres
1dent Truman nor his Assistant Attorney General,
Holmes Baldrdge, wants to see totalitarian
government come to the United States. But
there is little if any difference between the
brand of totalitarianism which prevails in say
Argentina, and the concept of presidential power
outlined by Mr.. Baldridge yesterday.
Mr.. Baldridge told Judge Pine that the
executive power of the President is not limited
by the Constitution. That charter, he said
limits the powers of the legislative and judicial
branches of the Government. But 'the President
is accountable only to the country, and his
decisions are conclusive"
Small wonder that a gasp of astonishment
rppled across the courtroom when that doctrine
was enunciated For it has within it all of the
necessary elements of totalitarian government
Mr.. Baldridge was saying that President,
in self-proclaimed emergency, has power to
do anything he deems necessary or desirable
The courts, the Government lawyer contended,
are without power to restrain him. He does
not believe that the President will abuse this
power. But if it should be abused, the only
recourse is to the ballot box, or, presumably,
impeachment.
These are doubtful remedies. For even if
ruthless President in time of self-proclaimed
emergency, would permit an election, he would
enjoy four years of undiSturbed power. And in
the impeachment process, he would need only to
retain the support of one-third plus one of the
Senate. A President with dictatorial ambitions
would, in all probability, have that much party
support.
So the threat is clear. Mr.. Baldridges con-
cept of government is not consistent with our
traditional free society. All history, and, indeed
our current experience, teach that freedom
cannot survive in an atmosphere of unlimited
executive power. Mr.. Baldridge asked by Judge
Pine whether he thought the President in the
name of emergency could seize private home
and throw out the owner, refused to answer
When we have reached that point in this country
it is time to stop kidding ourselves. %=4s
Those people who Indifferent to an
illegal steel seizure should look beyond the
expediencies of the moment For there will come
another day, and another President. And it can
be day of bitter regrets if this country submits
now to the doctrine that the President has un-
limited powers and that the citizen cannot turn
to the Federal Courts for protection against
abuse of those powers.
