This and That
BY Charles E. Trocewen

to note his compulsion neurosis. as it is
called.
Actually, 1t is helpful, rather than
otherwise. Instead of permitting his
inner mind workings and his emotions
to worry him, he releases them by way
Of man-hole covers, and the like. It's
easy If you know how.
The great Napoleon (not that we
think him great, any more, he was just
called tl1at) was said to count every
window as he rode through conquered
town,
If he missed one, or thought he had,
what did he do?
Well, you know already. He turned
his steed around, rode back, and counted
them al over again.
Napoleon. too. knew how to release
his pent-up feelings. how to use habits
that might seem silly to others to help
him in his work.
How ones ideas change over the years!
AS child. we looked upon Napoleon
Bonaparte as one Of the worlds great
men.
Before we were IL, we had read the
memoirs of his chief secretary, In four
volumes. He had gone through long
accounts of his battles and intrigues.
We knew how he treated his sick troops.
and how he delivered the short Grafton
before the Pyramids.
There was bust OF the great man
IN our home, and . framed snuff box
portrait. IN color.

All Is Not Fair.

The old adage that all is fair in love and
war does not include, and should not be extended
to, politics.
It has been reported that General Esen-
hower's managers" plan to call upon Senator
Mccarthy to campaign actively outside Of Wis.,
consin for the Republican presidential ticket
II the report is true The Star hopes that General
Eisenhower will put his foot down, and put 1t
down hard, on this plan.
General Eisenhower's refusal to repudiate
Senator Mccarthy has seemed to this newspaper
to be reasonable. A political campaign Is not
the same as Sunday school picnic, and cannot
be conducted by the same standards.
But to refuse to repudiate Senator Mccarthy
is one thing; to appeal to him for help is another
The difference is the difference between doing
what, as a practical matter has to be done in
politics, and putting ones self willy-nily under
obligation to man like Senator Mccarthy in
exchange for political help which may or may
not be needed, and which he may or may not
be able to deliver The Star, to repeat, hopes
that General Eisenhower will not agree to any
such scheme.

Years went by.
Life and wars went along. always the
same old slaughter. and gradually the
glamour Of Napoleon faded away
Today the bust Is up in the attic,

Some one has drawn moustache on
the face, so that Napoleon the Great

else.

To be in an attic, is not too bad. An
attic is q rather attractive place, as
countless thousands have discovered over
the years. There is q nice smell, and

an attic. It Is said that Alexandra Dumas
had so many thousands piled in an attic
that the landlord told him the house
would fall down unless he moved them
The atmosphere is just right. It is not
too dry, not too wet. and has few in

dust.

ally there are just old trunks and others,

Dr.. Wall

DR.. Joseph Stiles Wall, dead at rs, was an
outstanding physician, statesman in the medi-s
cal profession skilled teacher in the healing
arts and in his day one of the best known doctors
in Washington. Scores of young people were his
pupils during his At years at Georgetown Uni
versity, and he remained an inspiration long
after they had left his classroom behind. He
represented the District Medical Society before
committees Of Congress on many occasions and
was the father Of the Healing Arts law of 1929,
still in constructive effect Notably eloquent,
never at loss for the right word. he also was
quick and decisive thinker. Back of his mind
was a gentle and generous spirit
When all this is said much still remains to
say DR.. Wall by deliberate choice devoted his
talents particularly to children. He was on the
staff of Childrens Hospital for IS years. the last
Is as chief; and coincidentally he was q pedia-
trician at Providence, Georgetown and Gallinger
and childrens consultant at Columbia and
Doctors Hospitals, medical director Of the Child
Welfare Society and an adviser and counselor
to numerous other agencies and groups. Be

THIS YEAR IS NOT REALLY 1852
L it's 1880! Strange? Yet to anyone
who believes that history repeats, this
years presidential election has IA
miliar ring. In fact to date it has al
most exactly paralleled a forgotten pres
idential election of seventy two years
ago.
In 1880. the Republican party had been
in power for twenty yearS-eyer since
the election of Lincoln. Many felt that
it had grown cynical and complacent in
that time. for during the two admins
trationS of President Grant scandals had
rocked the administration time and time
again. BY 1880, the Democrats had
expected to win back the presidency in
1876-were crying, "It,s time for
change!''
Today, the shoe is on the other foot,
but the situation is the same The Demo-
Gratis have held the presidency for twen-
ty years. yet, as with the Republicans in
1880. have been troubled by scandal in
high places And the Republicans, who
had expected to win in 1948, are calling
for change.
In 1880. as in 1852, both parties felt
they had to put their best foot forward,
for it was expected that the election
would be close one. At their conven-
tion in Chicago. the Republicans drafted
James A. Garfield as their nominee,
despite his protestations that he was not
interested in the presidency. The Demo-
Gratis, seeking to end the twenty-year
Republican reign in the White House,

Special Tasks for the Assembly

Governor Battle of Virginia believes that the
General Assembly should set an example In law
observance It is reasonable belief-yet, but for
his Intervention, the Legislature might have
found itself in the uncomfortable position OF
violating an important provision OF the State
constitution. The provision is one requiring the,
Assembly to reapportion the legislative districts
within two years Of each decennial census.
Although the deadline will expire December 81
next, the regular session of the Assembly adj
journed without carrying out the constitutional
mandate. That is why the Governor, after
canvass of the legislators, has called a special
redistricting session to convene at Richmond
December 3.
The special session will be of Importance to
Northern Virginia for two reasons. First, the
thickly populated area across the Potomac
River stands to gain in representation through
reapportionment. A legislative advisory CONF
mission last year recommended additional repre-
sentation in Congress and in the Assembly for
the counties near Washington because Of the
large increase in population during the past
decade. The Legislature, after sharp battle,
created new 10th congressional district
across the river but dropped the legislative
redistricting project. But the Northern Virginia
delegation was not content to let the matter
die-especially since the law was on their side
Delegate Armistead Boothe of Alexandria was
particularly insistent in demanding special
session before the end of the year, to comply
with the State constitution. Mr. Boothe deserves
to share with Governor Battle the credit for
summoning Of the Assembly.
The second reason that the interest Of
nearby virginians will be centered on the session
is the possibility that action may be taken to
permit Federal employees to serve on county
boards and other Virginia governmental bodies
Governor Battle has said he does not want
anything to divert the Assembly's attention from
the reapportionment task. However, since there
lis some relation between representation at
Richmond and representation Of The citizens on
self-goyerning bodies it may be that the Iegisla-
ture can be persuaded to take up the problem
created by the court ruling that Federal employees
are not eligible to serve on the Arlington County
Board. This Is an emergency that q special
session might well be disposed 10 deal with.

Russiun Weakness

What Is behind this constantly adver-
tised fear Of Russia's alleged military
might?
In 1945 the United. States, with
population of 140 million, raised armed
forces Of about million, an effort that
aStoniShed the world. Other things be-
ing equal (and they never are-more
about which follows), there is q definite
relation between population and po-
tential military n1anpower. Nowhere,
except in the United States, can this
in any probability exceed / out Of 20.
There seems to be an unwarranted
assumption that Russia has an In
exhaustible source Of manpower. This
will not stand a reasonable analysis.
Our allies will easily Offset Russia'S un-
dependable satellites.
AS for Russia proper, considering
housing conditions. slave labor, mass
murder and venereal diseases, her pres
ent population hardly could exceed 100
million. 1t would take 40 million to re-
cruit her police force Of over two million,
without which the Russian system would
collapse. This would leave her popula-
ton from which to recruit her armed
forces OF just about the same size as
the United States. $50 million.
Napoleon, in his classic upderstate-
ment, said that the moral was to the
physical as three to one. What moral
force could goddess Russia call upon?
Let US not underestimate the danger
arising from the Soviets, but why unduly
exaggerate it?

A Police Survey Costs Money

Occupying the role of unofficial "crime COM
mission" for the District of Columbia the
Washington Criminal Justice Association is
qualified to supervise the proposed survey Of
police administrative procedures here Whether
the association, with its small resources as of
now could take on this heavy additional RESPONSE
bility Is serious question, however. The
association undoubtedly would be reluctant to
undertake superficial study-and an intensive,
expert survey probably would require more funds
and staff than the organization possesses.
The associations announced purpose is ito
determine how law-enforcement agencies can be
made more effective and what can be done to
strengthen them" In pursuance of that purpose
1t analyses crime statistics with view to
aScertaining "the efficiency of the criminal
processes" and presenting "a perspective on the
protection afforded the life and property of the
citizenry." It's tabulations of serious crimes in
various categories and of dispositions of these
cases IN the Police Department. the prosecutors
Offices and the courts have been helpful in
exposing weaknesses in enforcement and bringing
about reforms Unfortunately its activities have
had to be somewhat curtailed in recent years
because of reduced allotments from the Com
munity Chest, of which it has been member
since 1899.
Today the associations permanent staff
consists only of its managing director, Edward J.
Flynn, and secretary. This staff is obviously
inadequate to conduct thoroughgoing admin
istrative survey of the type apparently desired by
the Senate Crime Committee and Endorsed by
Police Chief Murray and the Commissioners.
This survey presumably would cover training,
administrative procedures morale and distribu-
ton Of the police force, adequacy of vehicles,
communications, laboratory equipment and other
facilities and relations between the department
and the public.
An expert study of this type by profess
sional agency would cost the District lot of
money. An estimate by one outside firm is said
TO have been in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The Police Departments administrative machin-
cry does not seem to be in such bad shape that
costly survey is essential. IT, however, the
Criminal Justice Association is willing to do the
job at reasonable figure and the means can be
found to finance the task the study might prove
TO be well worth while. Since neither the
association nor the Chest has any money avail
able for this special assignment the project
would seem to hinge the ability of the District
government to find the necessary funds.

off to the Wars

Senator Taft'S opening blast of the 1852
campaign was largely restatement of his own
political philosophy.
He did undertake to meet and refute the
Democratic charge that he, not General Eisen-
hover, is the field marshal of the Republican
crusade" General Eisenhower, he said, has
stated his own philosophy of liberty VS. Big
Governments philosophy which is in substan-
tial accord with Senator Taft's The ohioan
insisted, however, that General Eisenhower has
stated these views before; that in their meeting
OF last week the Republican nominee was merely
reaffirming what he has said in the past. The
Senator also said that of course he and the
G. O. P. nominee do not agree on every ISSUE
although he insisted there is larger area of
agreement between them than between Cover
nor Stevenson and Senator Byrd
This is about as far as he went defensively.
however. Mr.. Republican is not a defensive
fighter. He believes in attack and more attack.
This first speech suggests that as the domestic
aspect OF the campaign develops Senator Taft
will emerge as the commander of the shock
troops, the man who carries the fight to the
Democrats, shifting them hip and thigh on every
front at every opportunity
So far as the theme of the threat to liberty
that comes from too much government, with
its concomitants of big spending and high taxes,
is concerned, the Ohio Senator is excellently
equipped for the fray. He has fought this battle
for many a long year, and he knows every inch
Of the battle-ground. The Democrats may con-
tinue to harp on the Taft-has-taken-ov thesis,
but that is not going to discourage or silence
the dogged political warrior from the Buckeye
State.

1t Was Time for a Change in 1880, Too.

nations were felt to be strong ones.
though the Democrats played up the
part Garfield allegedly had played in
several Of the Grant scandals. But the
Republicans claimed to have brought
prosperity to the country-they insisted
that the country would "go to the dogs
if the Democrats were returned to power.
One Republican orator put the matter
thus:
II belong to the party that believes in
good crops: that is glad when a fellow
finds gold mine; that rejoices when
there are 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre. The Democratic Party is a
party of famine: it is good friend of an
early frost; it believes in the Colorado
beetle and in the weevil.'
The Democrats, on the other hand. at
tackled the Republicans for the scandals
of the Grant administrations; General
Hancock commented that public Office
is trust. not bounty bestowed upon
the holder" The Democrats insisted
that twenty years in ofice was more
than enough. and that it was "tine for
a change" But many people felt that
politics was no place for general.
When election day arrived, and the
votes were tailed, Garfield was the VIM
ner by 1000 votes out Of over nine mil
lion cast-the smallest popular majority
Of any American election.
What light is cast on this present elec-
ton by the election of 1880? It Is hard
to say. for in 1880 women could not vote;
there were no movies. teleyised speeches,
or Communists in Washington.
But 80 far-it's 1880 all over againl
