message of faith and inspiration"
versus Thomas L. Stokes "materialistic,
realistic man-Size view" regarding the
recent visit OF Mr.. Eisenhower to Korea.
In our Sunday school lesson of this
past Lords Day we discussed the beloved
parable on faith" of the minute "grain
o. mustard Seed" From this tiny seed
ar. immense plant of six to eight feet
can grow. So it is within our inner
being. and with faith come works that
grow and grow!
AS We discussed this parable I kept
thinking Of our beloved leader-to- be, Mr.
Eisenhower: and when think of him,
always think Of a beautiful inscription
written on the facade of Union Station.
1t, too, symbolizes grain of mustard
seed" or faith" and each of us must
tr'' to possess it. Here is the inscrip-
ton: LET all the ends thou aimest at,
be thy country'S, thy Gods and Truths.
Be noble! and the nobleness that<lies in
other men, sleeping but never dead. will
rise IN majesty to meet thine own"
And may God bless the one who wrote
that for it has inscribed itself within my
inner being and am sure many millions
who have read it feel the same inspira-
ton.
L. L. Smith.
Editors note: The inscription
quoted was plucked from the five-foot
shelf of Harvard's DR.. Charles w.
Eliot when he was asked for somes
thing suitable for the gateway to
Union Station. It is not from one
source but from two. "Let all the
ends thou aimest at be thy country's,
thy Gods and Truth's' is from Shake
speare, in Act 3, Scene of Henry
VIII. The other half of the inscription
comes from James Russell Lowell's
Sonnet Number Four)

And Today People Ask: Who Was He?
To the Editor Of The Star:

THE Civil War engagement at Balls
i Bluff, near Leesburg, Va, which
numbered among its victims Col. Edward
Dickinson Baker, was the subject Of a
letter to The Star December S. The
writer lamented the fact that there are
no signs at the site telling something
Of those who fell there.
Shortly before his death Col Edward
Dickinson Baker made q call at the
White House to say good-by to his
friends and former neighbors, the Lin
coins. Some one gave him a bouquet
Of autumn flowers. Very beautiful" he
said, gravely. these flowers and my
memory will wither together"
He was killed on october ii, 1861, at
the Battle Of Balls Bluff. After fierce
struggle for the possession of his body,
his men finally succeeded in removing
1t from the battlefield. On learning Of
his death President Lincoln wept,
mourning both for distinguished
statesman and for a beloved friend.
Had it not been that the White House
was being redecorated, Col. Bakers
Washington funeral services would have
been held there. Instead, they were
held at the home Of James Watson Webb
on H street. The coffin, draped with
flags and covered with flowers, was car
ried to the hearse by six colonels and
accompanied through the streets by a
large military escort. The body was
taken to San Francisco, and buried on
Lone Mountain. The funeral sermon
there was preached by the Rev. Starr
King.
A small stone was erected on the
battlefield to mark the place where
Baker fell. His statue, by act of Con-
gress, was placed in the rotunda of the
Capitol.
Baker had been Congressman from
two different districts in Illinois. He had
had distinguished military career dur
ing the war with Mexico. He had been
a prominent lawyer in California. AL
most singlehandedly he had swung the
West Coast to the support of the Union
during the bitter campaign of 1860. "The
Gray Eagle" he was called, and as en-
orator he had inherited the proud tradi-
ton of Daniel Webster He was noted
for his "silver bell voice." When the
Civil War broke out he was Senator from
Oregon. So jealous was he of this dis
tinction that he refused to be commits
stoned as general officer. He could be

No More SpectocIes

Congressional Investigations on the Kefauver
model would seem to have. been knocked In the
head by unanimous opinion OF the Sixth
Circuit Court Of Appeals. Ruling in the case Of a
Cicero. Illinois, racketeer who had been convicted
by lower court Of contempt for refusing to
answer questions put by the Kefauver committee,
the judges said
Despite the enjoyment by millions Of
spectators and the exhibition by teevision Of
the confusion and writings of widely known
malefactors and criminals, when sharply Ques-
toned as to their nefarious activities. we are
unable to give judicial sanction, in the teeth
Of the Fifth Amendment, to the employment
by committee of the United States Senate Of
methods of examination of witnesses which
constitute triple threat:
Answer truly and you have given evidence
leading to your conviction for violation OF
Federal laws. answer falsely and you will be
convicted of perjury. Refuse to answer and
you will be found guilty Of criminal contempt
and punished by a fine and Imprisonment.
In our humble judgment to place person
not even on trial for specified crime in such
predicament is not only not a manifestation
OF fair play, but is in direct violation OF the
Fifth Amendment of our Federal Constitution
This is an opinion which is consistent with
the trend of recent judicial decision in contempt
of-Congress cases. The trend in fact, has gone
far as to make it virtually impossible to punish
any one IOr contempt IOr refusing 10 answer
questions when plea of possible ef-incrimina-
ton is raised. The result is not something that
can be looked upon as an unnlixed blessing
For the congressional investigation, certainly in
times past, has paved the way for jailing many
crook who would otherwise have escaped detec-
tion and punishment And the Kefauver nvesti-
cation, whatever its faults, served a wholesome
purpose, through its televised hearings, in
shocking many a complacent citizen for the first
time into real awareneSs of the extent to which
racketeers and crooked politicians had been per-
mitted to undermine the foundations of our
society.
The safeguards which the Bill of Rights
throws around the individual cannot be sacri-
feed, however, to the demands of any procedure,
no matter how desirable the immediate objectives
may seem to be- All of our experience indicates
that inquistorial bodies If freed of constitutional
restraints would tend to become destructive of
individual rights, and there is no reason to sup
pose that congressional committees in the long
run, would be any exception. If the usefulness of
these committees and their Investigations is to
be revived, the remedy may lie in a proposal
which has been advanced before-namely, that
selected witnesses be Internationally protected
by law from criminal prosecution. Then, pre-
sumably, they could be compelled to answer
questions leading to other malefactors or face
punishment for contempt

Letters to The Star

Stokes that Gen. Eisenhower not only
lifted out bodily many statements from
Gov. Stevenson's speeches, but that in
so doing he paid unwittingly great
tribute to the most brilliant man who
has run for any public Office since the
advent Of radio and television.
Mary E. Hammond.
Why is it that Thomas Stokes can
not accept the will of the people and be
a good loser? He says 1.-THE election il
over" and still he is crediting Gov.
Stevenson with being the originator OF
phrases that he claims Gen. Eisenhower
stressed as part of his campaign.
It seems to me, with the world in
critical stage, it behooves all true Ameri-
cans to boost instead of knock.

Labor and Politics

The new factional leadership in the
CIO under Walter Reuther has deter
mined that "labor should help reshape
the Nations economy" and Mr.. Reuther
plans to carry out his program by an
intensified political activity. This is
not exactly the democratic American
way by which Samuel Gompers and
others directed their programs. The
labor movement can be kept strong and
responsible and at the same time be
kept free from national or international
political entanglements.

A small but very helpful project that
civic workers could bring about, would
be to get the Post Office Department ~
allow people who find small articles to
drop them in mail boxes. Articles would
be left in branch post offices for a month,
six months. If not called for by then.
they could be given to charity. All are
advised not to drop cats or dogs in mail
boxes, as they might starve to death
waiting for the next mail collection!
