Its Your Congress
By Bruce Borton

In his 1948 campaign for reelection,
President Truman went up and down
the country denouncing the S0th Con-
gress-Republican controlled-as the
"do-nothing Congress" ..,.
The truth is that the 8Oth Congress
had one Of the best records in our
whole history. Here are a few of the
high spots as given to me by my friend,
Leslie c. Arends, Republican whip" of
the House:
The Both Congress went in strong for
rearmament, voting funds for a 70-group
Air Force. Truman arbitrarily "froze"
the funds, reducing the group from 70
to 48. ...-
1t cut taxes by nearly five billions q
year, the first tax reduction in q gen.
Grafton. Seventy-one per cent of the
savings went to people earning less
than $4,000. rta
1t cut six billions out of Trumans
budget; paid off seven billions of the
national debt-the first reduction in
II years-and left eight and a half bill
lion surplus in the Treasury. . "
1t began the exposure of Communists
in the Government, including Alger
Hiss. In this patriotic effort 1t had no
help from the Chief Executive; he called
the investigation "red herring"
It restored balance to the labor sit
uation by passing the t-Hartley Act.
If Truman had been willing to invoke
the laws machinery the Nation would
have been saved many strikes and bill
lions of dollars.
1t revised the farmers price supports
and made the farm program perma-
nent.
1t doubled housing construction.
It's term saw national employment
and income at record high.
F. D. r. invented the technique of
dealing with Congress on the basis of
heads win, tails you lose" II any
policy or piece Of legislation turned out
well, he took the credit; If badly, that
was Congress fault. Truman has fol-
lowed suit.
The result has been a great disservice
to the Nation. For Congress is the cor
nerstone of our liberties.
Keep this important fact in mind
when you are deciding for whom you
will vote this fall Vote for a man
who respects Congress and will be as
jealous for the preservation of it's con-
stitutional rights as for those of the
presidency.
It's your Congress. Your protection
against the two evils We have reason
to fear most-despotism on the one
hand, and socialism (which can so
readily fbecome communism on the
other

Neglect of Duty

The Board of Education will meet on Tues
day. Three new members will be inducted and
officers for the ensuing year elected It has been
customary to restrict board business, at this
meeting, to the routine details of organization.
After this organizational meeting the board
frequently has recessed for the summer, not to
meet again until September.
But If this new board recesses for the sum-
mer, after the formalities of the Tuesday meeting
have been complied with, it will be guilty of
neglect of duty. For it is plainly the duty of the
board to reach an early decision on finding space
for an anticipated excess of 140O colored pupils
of Northeast and Southeast Washington, and to
reach that decision so that the intervening
summer months will provide time for the school
officials to perfect necessary arrangements for
shifts and transfers of school children before
the new school year begins next September.
The old school board neglected this duty
1t refused to face up to its responsibilities. 1t
rejected, on May 2l by vote of to 4, the
Superintendents recommendation that Eliot
Junior High School, at Eighteenth and streets
Me- be shifted from white to colored, thus pro-
viding for at least most of the anticipated excess
OF colored children. After defeating this pro-
posal, the board offered no workable substitute
OF Its own. It left the matter hanging in air.
If there is better plan to take care of the
excessive number OF colored children than by
transfer of white children from Eliot to other
schools now operating under capacity, the Board
OF Education has not proposed it. The problem
cannot be permitted to remain without any
solution. The new board must adopt the sug-
gestion of the school officials or provide work.
able substitute of its own
There has been the usual amount of talk
about bond issue, or some other money-raising
expedient permitting the construction of new
schools for colored. Something of the sort may
have to be done as a long-range program. But
new construction Is not the immediate answer
to the problem Of overcrowded colored schools
and under-capacity white schools in the neigh
borhoods where the problem is most acute If
the dual system of schools is to continue, there
must be number of transfers of school buildings
until equal facilities for white and colored are
made available.
1t would be good thing If the new Board
OF Education changed leadership and began a
new deal by the election of another president.
But If such new and needed leadership is not
provided at the top it must come from the board
members themselves. The schools will not be
efficiently operated if the Board of Education
seeks to duck its responsibilities by neglecting
what is plainly its duty.

Tuxing Religious Property

Albert D. Rusts letter, Taxpayers

wisdom. It also indicates the originator

Thank the Lord, we still have enough
Christians in our land who willingly
support churches to the extent that col
lectively they are still able to maintain
stabilizing influence in the lives Of
our people.
Taxation of properties used for re-
ligious purposes would most certainly
reduce the effectiveness of Christian
endeavor both here and abroad, as
monies would have to be diverted from
missionary work to pay these taxes.
Any lessening of the impact of Chris
tiantity in our way of life would be
reflected in an increase of disregard for
law and order, which would require more
taxes to maintain additional penal in
Stitutions.
If larger segment Of our population
in past years had supported churches
as they should have, enough missionary
work might have been accomplished to
have prevented, or materially reduced,
the global scope of World War II. The
present threat to world peace can be

"Hot words" said The Star Of July l,

afternoon, and after ad-
journment were followed up by a phys
ical assault by the Texas Senator on
the Senator from Indiana. Mr.. Bailey
criticized the State Department for its
handling of the case of. an American
citizen, DIR. Scott, and reflected on the
competency of Judge Penfield. solicitor
of the department. Mr.. Beveridge char
acterized the words of the Texas Sen
ator as an "unwarranted attack" This
characterization. Mr.. Bailey regarded as
an insult and demanded that the In
diana Senator withdraw the words. Mr..
Beveridge declined to withdraw them
unless Mr.. Bailey first withdraw his
language in respect to Solicitor, Penfield,
although he disclaimed any intention
of insulting Mr.. Bailey. The sequel
came last night just after the Senate
had adjourned from executive session,
when Senator Bailey assaulted Senator
Beveridge. The Texas Senator was
dragged away and separated from his

Toft's Foreign Policy

cipally because he advocated a United
States of Europe. He and Churchill
no doubt could have gotten such a
union. Such union would have been
the best preventive of war. Also a
United Europe would have been a much
safer place to loan the American tax
payers money than the helter-skelter
Marshall Plan. We can rest assured
with Taft at the head. with Macarthur

gain her former pre-New Deal greatness.

MoIik, Germs and the Council

Jacob A. Malik the Soviet representative has
not done well with his June Craftsmanship of the
United Nations Security Council. More specih-
cally, he has failed to get anywhere with his
fraudulent proposal having to do with ratifca-
ton of the Geneva protocol against bacterioogi-
cal weapons
:. What Mr.. Malik has sought is a Council de-
ciSion calling upon all nations to ratify the pro-
tocol Most nations, including the Soviet Union,
have already done so, but the United States has
not, and Malik's aim has been to propaganda
as much as possible on that point by pressing the
u NJ to adopt his proposal But he has been
able to marshal only his own vote in favor of the
move. The Councils ten other members have
abStained, and that kills his idea-for the time
being at least
The chief reason for this Soviet failure can
be found in the fact, as stressed by the United
States, that the U. N. Disarmament Commission
is currently dealing with the problem of con-
trolling all instruments of mass destruction, in
cluding germ weapons, and that there is there
fore no point in having the Security Council take
special action on the 1925 Geneva protocol-an
agreement that has been rendered altogether in
adequate by the passage of time and the develop
ment of deadly new ornaments. Moreover, the
Malik maneuver has come to grief because of its
obvious tie-in with the Kremlin's monstrous
worldwide effort to blacken America with
charges of meteorological warfare.
With the craftsmanship of the Security Coun-
Gil now passing to other hands, the Councils
next item of business will be our American pro-
posal to have those charges investigated by the
International Committee of the Red Cross. Since
such an impartial inquiry would expose the Com
munsts as criminal liars, Mr.. Malik will almost
certainly veto it. Even so the proposal serves to
place the Kremlin the spot and give our
own country and other members of the Security
Council good opportunity to counterattack the
virulent germ warfare propaganda. Although
MIR. Malik is an old hand at brazening things
out, he probably does not relish this prospect AS
far as the free world is concerned, he will be hard
put to support the Soviet position with any de-
tense worthy of the name.

Piracy Still Here

On June 13 Swedish plane disappeared
somewhere in the region of the Baltic Sea. On
June Is another Swedish plane-an unarmed
flying boat searching for the missing craft-was
shot down by Soviet fighters. Since then the
Stockholm government has been trying in vain
to get satisfaction from the Kremlin
Thus, in the case of the plane shot down.
Stockholm has protested that the shooting was
done over international waters far from any
territory claimed by Russia But the Kremln
has Indignantly replied that the plane was shot
down while violating Soviet space and after
opening fire on Red fighters. The Swedes have
branded this explanation as total lie, but they
still have had some hope of learning something
about the aircraft that vanished on June 13, and
they have sent note inquiring specifically about
it. But here again they have received nothing
but threatful answer
In fact, as recently delivered to the Swedish
Ambassador in Moscow, the answer completely
ignores Stockholm's question asking whether the
missing plane suffered the same fate as the one
shot down on June 16. Instead of giving any
information on that score, the Kremiin has
warned that Soviet planes-which "never violate
the borders of other states"-have been instructed
to "open fire on all aircraft" that trespass on
Russian territory and resist orders to land at
local field" Quite obviously, although addressed
to the SwedeS this note has been purposely
couched in language broad enough to serve as
a warning to all the countries of the free world
Why such warning? The answer is any
bodys guess, but it suggests that Western planes
had better travel well armed, or not at all, in
regions where the Russians have tendency-as
in the Baltic-to stretch their territorial claims
to air and sea space which is open to others under
every rule of international law Piracy did not
really come to an end in the last century.

danger, complaceney. The ship of de-
mocracy may sink through the com-
placency of those on board. The danger
is so serious that We need desperately
to be stripped of our illusions. And that
may mean many of our gadgets and
luxurieS, so that our Nation may
measure up to the maximum of
preparedness for the defense of
those threatened precious things we
hold nearest our hearts. This can
not be done until there is a resurgence
Of faith in the spiritual foundations on
which our Nation was established. with
out which democracy simply cannot live.
Unless that faith has first priority we
cannot survive. Woodrow Wilson sensed
that when. just before his death, he
declared: "Our civilization cannot be
redeemed materially until it is redeemed
spiritually. It must be saturated with
the spirit Of Jesus Christ"
Yes. the question today is one of sur
vival. And that is tied to our spiritual
creed-not the creed we profess, but the
creed we practice. The sooner the Ma
tions economy is adjusted to the stark
realities and everything else, television,
, luxuries are subordinated to that. the
more sure it will be that tyranny will
tremble and tumble. and government Of,
by and for the people shall not perish
from the earth.
And so, as the Nation proudly gazes
upon this great new ship. as in stately
majesty for the first time her prov is
steered eastward across the blue At
lantic. there is being signaled from her
spacious decks the words that she en-
bodies-co-operation and evaluation
and subordination. And as we look and
listen we seem to hear that salty poet
OF democracy, Walt Whitman, as he
sings:

OF Dalue is thy freight. it's not the
Present only,
The Past is also stored in thee.

Consumer and Regulation X

Recent articles in The Star. including
the editorial Easing Credit Controls"
have only strengthened my earlier belief
that you have demonstrated, and are
continuing to demonstrate, no interest
in and sympathy for the home purchaser.
For example. have been unable to
find any reference in The Star to the
obvious fact that relaxation Of Regula-
tion x will actually result in substan-
tial increase in the cost to the purchaser
OF any given new home.
The increased interest at per cent
over 20 years on a $4,000 home pur-
chased under the relaxed co controls
is 81 ,460!
This is the price the consumer pays
for the relaxation Of Regulation x!
