McCurthyism

suspect that David Lawrence's COL
umn. "McCarthyism Has Done It's job"
was dictated by the very political pref
udice he asks others to eliminate from
the Communist issue. Certainly, as
an attempt at objective analysis, it has
thoroughly confused the issue of cause
and effect.
The protective cover. blanket de-
fense for all under suspicion" alluded
to, need only be utilized in the case
Of blanket attack. If such cover gives
comfort or aid to the Communist ele-
ment in our society, the blame clearly
lies with those who force this defense
upon us by their ill-considered and in
discriminate attacks All honest Amer
leans wish to eliminate those elements
from our society who would destroy us
but we object violently to those who
would have us destroy ourselves along
with our enemies.
sincerely hope that "McCarthyism"
has not done its job.

Eisenhower's Stutus

"President-designate" Dwight D. Eli
senhower, though a correct description
OF his status. seems out of use. I have
seen it once. in The Star, and then
applied only indirectly.
The November popular vote had
no official bearing on the election; we
only elected electors. Since the minor
parties failed to elect any electors,
their candidates were eliminated, au-
tomatically thus reducing the candi-
dates to two-Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Adlai E. Stevenson. Because the
former represents the party that elected
large majority of the electors. he
becomes President-designate.
We have confidence that on Deem
ber IS these electors will fulfill the de-
sire OF their party, so we have come to
assume that the President is elected in
the November election.
Common usage may have made ac-
ceptable the early use of the term
President-elect, nevertheless from the
November election to the December
electoral ballot it is President-designate
From then till the January Inaugural
tion it Is President-elect.

he contributed materially to cleaning up the
"mess in Washington"
OF course, as a former Attorney General,
MI. McGranery should not have too much trouble
keeping the wolf from his door after January 20.
And he can say farewell to official life, and the
rewards which might have been his, with the
knowledge that he leaves behind him a record of
which any man might well be proud.

Reel Loser in ARLINGTON

Who were the real losers In the Arling-
ton County Board election this year?
The Non-Partisans? Perhaps. Their
candidates did not win. but If the three

thing refreshing" in talking sense"
This reaction was only available to those
who have followed political campaigns
for years.
I, for one, do hope that Gov.
Stevenson will not run again. His brand
Of talking sense belongs in halls of
higher learning and high non-political
Office. It should not be submitted to the
butchery of political demagogues and
journalistic political hacks. His defeat
gives the sad feeling that the truth"
has been defeated, though this cannot
possibly be true.
Post-election editorials with their sem

ments do not help this matter a bit.

Socioble Note From Down Under

Three years ago The Star published, q
letter Of mine under the heading "An
Australia Love Song" The letter, which
still tops the hits, had to do with my
daughter, Margaret, and her American
pen pal, Gordon. They are very hap
PLY married couple now, and are as
much in love as when they first met in
May, 1850. in Ontario, Canada, where
she flew to him. But I miss my only
girl very much and long to see her and
her husband and the dear country she
has adopted. America has always been
next to Australia in my heart.
We have formed a club here in Mel
bourne for the mothers of the wives of
American Servicemen. We hope to raise
enough money to send few mothers on
goodwill visits to their daughters and
in-laws. We have only been in circula-
ton year and one month but already
have over 200 pounds clear, which isn't
bad considering we are hampered here
by not being allowed to run raffleS, etc.
We enjoy our meetings and our chats
about our girls We compare snaps and
news items. But we need more publicity!
Guess 1t will be years before we finance
one mother on a trip but we're happy
meantime in anticipation.
I'm still young enough to romance
about it all and many's the time I've
done that trip in my imagination. I've
Travelled to Honolulu, to San Francisco.
to Vancouver and across to Wisconsin
and my little lass and the dear folks
who are her family now. One day it will
happen! Maybe I'll win the lottery or a
quiz show trip. I've travelled in nv
dreams from Wisconsin's dairy farms to
the cornfields Of Iowa, through Nebras-
ka's wheat fields, past the cattle in
Wyoming, where Margaret says the
scenery is so beautiful, then on to Salt
Lake City. Publishing my letter in your
paper gave me some very nice friends
in Virginia. So maybe they would like
to know about our club. It is called the
U. S. Wives Mothers Social Club of
Melbourne. No connection with the Sgd
ney one Of similar name Our one aim
is to make personal contact possible with
our girls and promote friendship with
our two wonderful countries which have
SO much in common. All the best to
your paper.

Nominations for Commissioner

Nominations TOR Commissioner
Now that the Republicans are making
the policies for our Nation, Commits
Sioner Camalier should follow Donohue.
Who could take his place? There is a
man in the District Government who is
honest, reliable, a Christian gentleman
In every respect. My choice for Com
missioner is Walter Fowler, Budget
Officer of the District.
Resident.
The news Of the resignation of DR..
James A. Cannon from the School Board
after IL years edectual service, caused
regret among many citizens-particu-
larly parents, both white and colored.
His record on the board was marked by
Justice for all, good sense, and fearless
defense Of his principles. He has served
Washington for ~ years. in one capacity
or another, and he is conscious Of it's
needs.
A new commissioner is to be named
In the near future and DR.. Cannon would
be natural for the position. His
knowledge, experience and interest in
such important matters as the Health
Department, the city hospitals, public
Welfare and penal institutions, probably
exceeds that of most individuals in
Washington.
He was nominated by the District
Medical Society for commissioner, at the
time Of Mr.. Donohue's appointment, and
a reason why he was not named may
have been that he had not participated
In national political affairs. (His fore
bears were Republican. by the way)
Ida Pritchard Shultz.
About one-half of the time and atten-
ton required by the Board of Commits
sioners Is concerned with the health and
welfare of the citizens. It seems logical
then that one of the commissioners be a
physician of mature experience particu-
larly if he has concerned himself with
civic affairs throughout the years and
has demonstrated his interest in munich
pal matters.
Such a physician is DR.. James A. Gan
non, ST., whose civic activities for 30
years are so well known that do not
need to describe them here. His many
friends will be glad to hear that he is
available and they would derive great
satisfaction by his appointment.

Hardin Kiwanians
Sponsors of
Easter Seal Sale

Under the sponsorship of the
Hardin KiWanis club, the East
er Seal campaign in Big Horn
county for crippled children be-
gan today and will continue I'M
til Easter. Collection cans and
posters will be distributed to
business houses.
r In letters appealing for sup
port of the campaign, the XII
wants club states:
yours is the opportunity to-
day to help crippled children,
particularly those with cerebral
palsy to brighter tomorrows.
There are more children af-
flicted with cerebral palsy than
there are children dragged
down by tuberculosis and left
paralyzed by polio. AS part of
the statewide service program
the Montana chapter maintains
cerebral palsy treatment and
training centers, where these
youngsters are provided with
stherapy as well as education.
"There. are approximately
% youngsters from Big Horn
county who have use of the IA
cilities of the demonstration
cerebral palsy center in Billings
at the present time. There are
others who should receive treat
ment if funds and facilities
were available.
Cerebral palsy youngsters
are the most misunderstood and
most neglected of all handicap
ped children. It has been COM
monty thought that these chill
dren are mentally deficient, but
on the contrary, more than 10
per cent have average and
above average intelligence.
Cerebral palsy children are just
like other children. Their needs
are the same, their goals are
the same, the difference comes
in attaining these goals.
what we do for the cerebral
palsy today by education and
Mobilization will make them in
dependent and contributing cit
liens tomorrow.
"Your help is an investment
in human resources and will
pay dividends to our commun-
ity."
