For Better-ReguIoted Primaries

While there was no evidence Of any irregu-
larities during Tuesdays Democratic primary,
the informality of the procedures for casting and
recording the vote suggested to many persons the
need for law controlling such primaries. Dis
trict Court Judge Bastian recommended such a
law recently in refusing to intervene in what ne
regarded as purely party matter.
In contrast to the Republican primary, rnere
was no advance registration of the voters for the
Democratic balloting. G. o. P. voters who reg
istered were issued certificates emitting them to
take part in their primary. The only registra-
ton of Democratic voters took place when they
appeared to vote. They signed cards on which
they agreed that they were American citizens
Democrats had resided in the District more than
one year and had not voted in any other primary
this year. There was no way OF course, to check
on the accuracy of these statements before the
ballots were cast This voting system, or lack OF
it. is a rather loose arrangement for big city,
to say the least
Whether Congress ever gives Washingtonians
real suffrage or not it should recognize the fact
that the District is respected participant In
national conventions. 1t can give this recognition
by enacting primary voting law that will assure
the city Of well-regulated primary elections In
the future.

Templeton Jones might be called a
humanitarian, but it would be better
and truer to call him catarian.
Members Of the cat family make q
mighty appeal to him. as to many an.
other human.
It would not be precise to say that
he likes cats better than people. He
simply regards cats as people.
It was so the other day, when he was
waiting to catch q bus. (Accent on
"waiting.~
Now, catching a bus, as every one
knows who lives in the suburbs, Is no
easy job.
Buses are becoming more elusive
every day. To catch one, the dear old
patron must be right at the stop. and
even then he must catch the drivers
eye.
Jones was so intent on watching for
his bus that he failed to see neigh
Dor across the street, waiting for the
vehicle in the opposite direction.
AS Jones looked, he became aware OF
a cardboard carton with holes punched
in it.
The top was up. Jones saw

New Technique at Ponmunjom

In forcing another three-day adjournment
of the truce talks-the second such move within
a week-the United Nations negotiators at Pan
munjom have resorted to an effective and thor
oughly justified new technique. 1t is technique
that the Communists have been asking for for
a long time, and now that it has been put to
work against them they have made clear that
they do not like any part of it. But the only thing
they have been able to do about it is to inveigh
AGAINST it as provocative act" designed to
block agreement on an armistice.
Actually, of course, the forced recesses have
been called solely and simply to impress the Com
munists with the fact that the United Nations,
besides being in no mood to retreat from the
substance of its truce conditions, is not going to
put UP any longer with propaganda harangues.
The harangues-a vile mixture Of vituperation
and colossal lies-have been employed repeatedly
by the Enemy in deliberate effort to Keep the

legs. or what. Legs are there, to be
rubbed against, that is all.
It was plain that both men thought
the cat deserted.
There was the box, with bit Of
string hanging to it. the large portfolios
in the sides.
Suddenly Templeton Jones had an in
spiration. Selling the cat, he tiptoed
up the street to house where he
had seen kittens. He placed the animal
between the screen door and the main
door. Then rang the bell, twice, in the
imperious Jones fashion.
Swiftly he tiptoed down the walk and
away, back to his wait for another bus.
Jones couldn't see the door, but the
neighbor came across the avenue and
gave him the news.
"A woman came to the door," he said,
picked up the kitten. loved it for
time. and then took it indoors"
"Good!" said Templeton Jones.
Both Samaritans went back to their
posts, with the consciousness OF a good
deed done. But Jones wondered if, after
ALL the kitten really had been deserted.
Those holes in the side of the box were
too big, for one thing. And those peo-
pie liked cats, and had children who
liked cats. Anyway. the kitten had been
taken in, and that is all kitten can
ask in this world. AL Jones asked was

talks from getting down to brass tacks. The Red
negotiators, in other words, have plainly indi-
Gated that they are not interested in genuine
discussion of concrete terms but merely in CIV
ing voice to long.winded repetitious, insulting
and mendacious attacks on the U. N
BY twice walking out on such attacks and
unilaterally adjourning the talks, the U. N.
negotiators have put the enemy on notice that
the same technique will be used over and over
again as long as necessary. This means that the
Communists at Panmunjom will have nothing
but empty chairs to address whenever they start
spouting propaganda at future meetings. The
idea must infuriate them, but maybe it will
persuade them in due course to engage in a
good-faith discussion of real issues. At any rate,
the United Nations has done well to emphasize
that it will not lend its ears to them if they
have nothing to offer but lying abusiveness.

right through one Of the air holes:
"A deserted kitten" breathed Tenn
pleton Jones, to himself.
Six cats at home made it rather i'm
possible for the kind-hearted man to
take on another.
Something must be done, however.
It Is this attitude, known to thou
sands of people, which has been the
salvation of the cat tribe in America.
People with kittens often wall that
no one will take them. They do not
want to "put them to Sleep" but no
one will take them, etc. They should
keep them, themselves.
America was made by men and
women who did things for themselves.
They did not ask others to help them.
Templeton Jones went across the
street to see the kitten.

Dor.

Hampton Roads on the night Of Decem-
ber 20, 1862 for Charleston, which it
was expected she could successfully
blockade. However, as they were on their
way down along the outer banks of
North Carolina, some five miles north Of
the Diamond Shoal of Cape Hatteras. a
gale developed, causing great difficulties
to the Monitor" Her captain asked for
the towing hawsers to be cast by the
"Rhode Island" In the process several
lives were lost and in spite of 1t, after
the hawsers had been cast, the "Monl-
tor" foundered in thirty feet Of water.
Her hull can still be seen and there has
been talk of raising her, but the neces-
Sary funds have not been available.
A total of 16 lives we're lost but the
story I heard mentioned only seven
bodies which were washed ashore. These
bodies were buried on the high ridge
overlooking Cape Hatteras lighthouse. at
the foot of huge cedar tree. In order to
protect this burial place from preylng
wild life, stones from the old lighthouse,
which had been dismantled early in the
war since it was held that spies were
using it as a hideout were laid on the
ground. From then on, everyone forgot
about it and vegetation soon hid all
traces.
It was not until about year ago that
Ben Dixson MacNeill. finding some big
stones in the otherwise Stone-free sand
ridge some 100 yards behind his cabin,
started wondering why these stones were
there and came across the story OF the
unfortunate crew of the Monitor" The
sand and the climate have disposed OF
all other remains. The tall cedar tree
which stood as landmark to locate
the burial ground had long since been
cut down, but the stump still remains.
The stones will probably go back where
they came from and be used to restore
the ruins of the original octagonal light
house.

Dressing Down for MeIIett

I don't go along with Lowell Mellett's

in bad taste. Mr.. Mellett is eating his
peas with his knife in public. The man is

It seems to me that The Star errs in
publishing Mr.. Mellett at all. AS far as
his pseudo-humor in this case is con-

Reckless Walking

The decline in pedestrian deaths in Wash
ington is gratifying indication that the speclaI
attention being given here to the Jay walking
problem is paying dividends The award 10
Washington as frst-place winner among Clues
striving to reduce pedestrian accidents was oaseo
on figures showing reduction OF nine In oeatnS
from such accidents during 1851. Last year
40 persons were struck down and killed wnlle
crossing the street, as compared with 4S In
1885, The Automotive Safety Foundation was
properly impressed by this reduction, after
reviewing the engineering, education and en-
forcement methods used to achieve 1t.
Much of the credit for this drop in fatalities
goes to the police, who increased vigilance
against jay walking; to safety patrols ana
teachers who preached street safety to thou
sands of children, to civic organizations which
aided in the educational drive and to judges who
lectured reckless drivers and careless pedestrians
Traffic c-accident statistics show that, IN the
final analysis, pedestrians were less careful OF
their welfare than motorists. A study OF pc
destrian deaths nationally has disclosed that
the largest single cause OF such accidents is
reckless crossing of streets in the middle OF the
block In 1850, 26 per cent OF fatal pedestrian
accidents occurred while persons were walking
between intersections. The next highest group
of deaths were those of children playing in the
street. They constituted 1876 per cent OF the
total. Fourteen per cent of the pedestrians were
killed while crossing at intersections where there
were no signals, 94 per cent while crossing
against signals at intersections and per cent
while crossing with the signals. Nine per cent
were children running from behind parked
automobiles The remaining deaths were due
to wide variety of causes.
This analysis provides safety authorities
with guide for action. It indicates that fur
ther steps must be taken particularly to dis
courage crossing between intersections. playine
in the streets and careless driving and walking
at intersections. This is nfe-saving cause
calling for greater public support of the efforts
by police, traffic engineers and others to make
the streets safer for those who must use them
