Political Quucks

Gov. dewey compared the mess In
Washington to a broken egg. He saw
Gen. Eisenlower's job as getting Hump
ty Dumpty back together again. Gov.
Stevenson has very effective arguments
to answer this political libel: We own
the hen so let's start with q new egg.
Why kill the hen who lays eggs that
hatch bankruptcy, imitation, war prosper
ity and probable corruption? But the mess
Is not like an egg. It is like q cancer.
Detect and destroy a cancer when it is
q seed of malignant evil and you save
q life. Ignore it until the ripened seeds
have invaded every vital organ and
only q miracle will save the doomed. And
If the desperately i'll patient had any
sense he would not trust that miracle
to doctors whose incompetence ignored
his. doom until it was time to collect
their fee. In November quack political
doctors want their fee and another 60
at signing the Nations death certificate.
Both presidential candidates agree
that Russian aggression and crimes
against humanity are the seed of the
cancer. Who permitted and encouraged
their murderous malignancy to grow to
enslaving imperialism? Piously we are
told our U. N. was created to: To save
succeeding generations from the Scourge
of war: to affirm faith in funda-
mental human right; to establish con-
ditions under which justice and respect
for the obligations arising from treaties
and other sources of international law
can be maintained. But have the en-
shaving atheist conSpirators of the Krem-
lin ever had their title to q seat in the
Security Council challenged on the suf-
ficient grounds that their performance
bellies good faith in our q. MS sacred
covenant?
But" the makers Of the mess will
say. there is no remedy. You cannot
remove the Stain malignancy from
our U. N"
To those defeatists I invite the read
ing Of Article 6, Chapter II of the U. N.
Charter: A member Of the U. N. which
has persistently violated the principles
contained in the present charter may
be expelled from the organization by
the General Assembly upon recon-
mendation Of the Security Council

Was George Washington front man
for traitors" because of Benedict Arnold?
I would remind you that in 1779 Arnold
was found guilty by court-martial Of
"imprudence." after which he was pro-
NOTED by Washington to the command
of vital West Point. After Arnold's ex-
posure, should George Washington have
been fired? Would not the father of our
country still have had to testify that
Arnold was wounded fighting for his
country at Quebec and that his reputa-
ton had been good?
I submit that the Republicans do our
country a great disservice by clouding
the true campaign issues with sophisti-

Buttons for Teachers

really, so as the years roll on "the top
brass" on the service list would have q
shocking array of buttons and pins to
warn they are keeping abreast the
times"
Letters Of commendation for dis
tinguished service beyond the call Of
duty, needed repairs and improvements
around school premises, lighter work
day loads and high salaries-all would
hearten the teachers. But buttons and
pins-never! do not want to find them
someday among my souvenirs. for do
not like buttons and pins.
Ungrateful Teacher.
Now it is to be BUTTON issued to
teachers to remind them how many
years of their lives they have wasted.
Will it have q picture Of Mickey Mouse
on it? Teacher.
1t would seem that members of the
Board of Education have lost some of
their buttons by proposing that teachers
have their years of service recognized
by bestowal of buttons.
The money such trinketS would cost
had better be invested In improving our
overcrowded buildings. Moreover. few
years service would indicate youth
which knows nothing: many years serv-
ice would indicate old age which also
knows nothing. What then are we pre-
senting to our children and students?

service would warrant nothing less than

So teachers are to have pins to wear.
Corn shaped hope! Teaching is a great
profession, rich in intrinsic rewards,
charged with great responsibility for the
development of youth in q democratic
tradition. We need many things, but
not pins. We need young people who
will choose our profession as their avo-
cation. We need a salary scale that will
hold the teachers we now have. We
need community understanding and
support for our program. We need higher
morale. but not pins! Teacher.

Likes His Art Struioht

The Sunday Star recently contained
strong indictment by A. j. Wedder-
burn. curator of photography, Smith
sonian Institution, aimed at efforts of
the directors Of the Baltimore Museum
TO turn the judging of Photographic
prints over to painters. Their proclaimed
objective is to raise the artistic level of
photo exhibits.
1t would indeed be unfortunate if the
great art of photography were to fall
into the hands of the cultists and
voodooiStS who now hold sway over
painting. Rather than striving for a
generally comprehensive means of ex-
pressing life. photography would be
doomed to sterile preoccupation with
the hackneyed props Of the cubists,
surrealists. dadaists, futurists and the
assortment of nitwits who clothe their
incompetence and deception in high
sounding terms. Mr.. Wedderburn's pre-
diction that photography could be set
back 100 years will be borne out. Surely
the many fine photographers Of Balti-
more will accept as an insult the pre-
sumption that they are incapable of
Judging their own work. They should
look upon the imposition of painters as
their judges as a Trojan horse devised
TO undermine their vast ACCOMPLISH
mentS.
From being an art for the millions.
with standards largely acceptable to all
the pSeudU-intellectual teacup balancers
Will make of photography, something
precious and esoteric, a babel that NAV
be comprehended only by the members
Of their secret cabal.

Justice CIork's S Error

In an editorial bearing the above caption,
and published earlier this month, The Star made
the following statement: "But there was no
precedent for the circumstances under which
the FBI was given the (Kansas City vote fraud)
case. The investigation was to be preliminary
in nature as is customary In such cases. But
in this instance the hands of the FBI were
effectively tied by memorandum prepared by
r. Lamar Caudle and approved by Attorney Cen
eral Clark-a memorandum which restricted the
FBI to questioning six named individuals"
This statement was based on testimony given
to the Chelf committee which has been investi-
eating the Department Of Justice, by former
Attorney General Biddle. Mr.. Biddle said he
could not remember ever having heard of such
a procedure, and that he would not have ap-
proved 1t.
The Star Is satisfied, however, that it erred
in stating that there was no precedent for the
type Of investigation authorized In the Caudle
memorandum and approved by the then Attorney
General Clark.
In 1947, during q Senate investigation OF this
same matter, the following exchange occurred
between ]. Edgar Hoover, director Of the FBI
and Senator Ferguson Of Michigan:
Mr.. Hoover: No, would not consider that
(the preliminary investigation) in any way out
of line, because that has been the practice
in practically all Of the preliminary nveStiga-
tions Of election frauds. We have received
many cases where they outline specifically
whom to interview and exactly what steps We
are to take.
Senator Ferguson: Under these instruc-
tions?
Mr.. Hoover: Under these instructions.
That ID correct.

Will someone please tell me what's

thing I ever hear tossed up to him is
"isolationism"! I still fail to see what's

an isolationist but he wasn't looked
upon as an untouchable.
