Dead at 8s, George Santayana viii remain
subject of discussion for long time to come.
He was problem and question all his hfe to
himself and to others. Both a rationalistic and
an idealistic motivation prompted him as poet
and as a philosopher. The conflict between
what is practical and expedient and what con-
tradicts those values made him productive
force. He worked hard. The notion that he was
an intelligent drone is an error. Few men OF
his time surpassed him in the range or the In
tensity of his labors. He covered the cosmos.
Such man naturally is out Of place in the
picture of human existence as that picture
stands in the twentieth century OF the Christian
era He fed from It's demands upon people Yet

who established an optimism on a pessimism, a

Speaking of Mud and Rotten Eoos'-

President Truman who once spoke in such
friendly tones of "Old Joe" Stain, has now let
the cat out of the political bag.
It seems that the President and the country
have been suffering from bad advice-and from
no other source than General Eisenhower, who
led the Western armies to victory in World War II
and was subsequently named, by Commander in
Chief Truman to be Chief of Staff of the Army
and later was designated supreme commander
for the Atlantic alliance
But back in 1945 Mr.. Truman recalled at
1852 Montana whistle stop, General Eisenhower
said before a congressional committee that the
Russians were trying to be friendly toward the
United States. That was bad advice, Mr.. Truman
said, and it did great deal of harm. In fact,
1t made his job Of waking up the country to the
danger of Communist Imperialism in 1946, 1947
and 1913" a pretty tough one. And it wasn't
made any easier, either, by the fact that the
Republicans at the same time were "asleep at
the switch" and dragging their feet"-a two-way
operation that sounds difficult enough in ITSELF
OF course, in the years between, Mr.. Truman
has said some very nice things about General
Eisenhower. For example, press conference on
January 10, 1952-really quite long time after
the generals "bad advice" and the Presidents
trouble in waking up the country-was almost
wholly devoted to Mr.. Truman saying nice things
about the general On that occasion he de-
BcrlDed MIN as grand man in whom ne had
the utmost confidence, confirmed that he had
once told him he would help him get any job,
including the presidency, and told reporters
chat he always thought and hoped the general
was a Democrat.
I In fact, an unofficial transcript of that press
conference reveals that a reporter recalled that
the President had said earlier he would not
interfere with any ideas the general might have
IN connection with the presidency, and asked
further if that was still the Presidents position.
The next item in the transcript follows:
Mr.. Truman said that was right, that he
did not want to stand in the generals way at all
because he thought very highly of him and If
he wanted to get out and have all the mud
and rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes thrown at
him, that is his business and the President
would not stop him."
Anyway, General Eisenhower can't say now
that he wasn't warned-or that the warning
didn't come from the most prescient authority.
Mr.. Truman, descending to depths not often
reached even in political campaigns, cheapens
himself as well as his Office. But as an expert
on mud and rotten eggs, he knew what he was
talking about.

Learning the Hard Way

General Walter Bedel Smith, director OF the
Central Intelligence Agency, has learned about
politics the hard way. He has learned, to his
dismay how remarkably easy it Is to get ones
foot in ones mouth during the heat of political
campaign. Once the foot is in removal is not a
simple matter, but General Smith deserves credit
for trying. His efforts to prevent his testimony
about Communists in the Government from
becoming a political football are commendable,
nonetheless It would be unfortunate If the CIA
and its chief should be dragged further into the
political arena because of off f-the-cuf remarks,
under discrimination, that had explosive
political connotationS.
The CIA director, in response to subpoena,
appeared at deposition hearing in the 81
million libel-slander suit brought by Senator
Mccarthy against Senator Benton. There was
nothing explosive about his statements, under
direct questioning, as to the character OF his
former boss General Marshall. It was during the
lengthy cross examination that the intelligence
head unwittingly found himself suddenly pro-
jected into the middle of the presidential
campaign Questioned about any knowledge he
had of Red inf1ltration of the Government, Cen
eral Smith rather casually expressed belief that
there might be some Communists In his own
agency He explained that the Reds are so
adroit and so adept" that they have infiltrated
even security organizations. He said he wished
TIC AIlcW WuO tAICy WSAC.
That did it, In almost less time than it
takes to tell about it, bulletins were on the wire,
radio and television. Standing without further
explanation, they were sensational news. General
Smith vainly sought to keep the remarks off the
record. When he learned they were alDeady being
flashed across the country and were by way of
becoming political issue, he issued clarifying
statement An intelligence agency must assume.
he explained that it can be inf1ltrated some
where along the line" and it must be on guard
accordingly He did not mean to imply that the
security agencies were riddled with Communists
The CIA never has detected Communist in its
ranks in this country. He believes that Com
munists and their sympathizers have been
"ptetty well eradicated from the Government
General Smith telephoned this Qualification
to both presidential nominees, in an obvious
effort to forestal any misunderstanding Of his
testimony. He also sent copy of his explanation
to President Truman But whether or not the
campaigning nominees or their supporters make
any use-or misuse-of General Smiths testi-
mony certain amount of damage already has
been done the CIA. For, fairly or unfairly, that
supposedly non-political agency has become In
volved In the political news in big way. Nobody
will regret that more than the sadder and wiser
CIA director.

Something Has Been Lost

It would be unfair if not presumptuous to
rest critical judgment on so vast an undertaking
revision of the King James version of the Bible
on the selection of few examples from the
thousands of changes made. It may be taken
for granted that the scholars engaged in this
work reached their own decisions on the form
and scope of their revisions in full anticipation
of the disagreements sure to follow Some of the
beauty of the language of the King James version
may have been deliberately sacrificed in the
effort to increase what we glibly refer to as
reliability"
Nonetheless, it is disappointing to find that
the moving poetry and cadence of such sentences
as HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside still waters" have been lost
In the change to "He makes me lie down in green
pastures. He leads me beside still waters"
Another such loss is found in the passage from
st. Luke: But Jesus called them unto him, and
said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: For of such is the Kingdom of
God" The verse now becomes, "But Jesus called
to him, saying, Let the children come to me, and
do not hinder them; for to such belong the king
dom of God.'"
There are other illustrations to support an
impression that the learned scholars, in their
preoccupation with elimination of words that
have become archaic seem to have eliminated at
the same time some of the majestic dignity I'M
parted by those words to sentences and phrases
that have brought peculiar comfort to millions OF
men and women for hundreds of years. One is
inclined to believe that despite the great circu-
lation planned for the revised Bible, it will not
displace the King James version, and the
archaisms which helped to give it character as
hmperishable literature. Other attempts at
revision have brought about the same con-
troversy that this most recent one is apt to
provoke and which will not be confined to
theology.

They Also Raped Lincoln as Joker ~a.

Talking about an INSCRIPTIONS poli.
tician, Lincoln said:
He reminds me of the man who
murdered both his parents, and then.
when sentence was about to be pro-
nounced, pleaded for mercy on the
grounds that he was an orphan
When discussing his own homely
appearance, he quipped:
The Lord prefers communicating
people. That Is the reason He made
50 many Of them"
And. Of course. one of the most fam
Gus Of all the Lincoln quotations is that
about not changing horses in the middle
Of a stream:
". it was not best to swap horses
while crossing the river. and am
not so poor q horse that they might
not make botch Of it in trying to
swap"
Naturally, this remark was made dur
ing his second campaign.
Editor Charles A. Dana was the re-
cipient Of the following sage advice
from Lincoln:
when you have got an elephant
by the hind leg. and he is trying to run
away" counSeled Lincoln, lit is best to
let him rum.
Lincoln stated that he felt humorous
story was the best way to put over q
point with the common people in a
political speech. However, he vigorously
resisted all attempts to pin the label Of
q storyteller on him. Speaking inform
ally before q group of military officers.
Lincoln praised the humorous story as
q means to an end-not the end in
itself. "The sharpness of a refusal is
blunted with story" he said. "Story
telling as an emollient saves me much
friction and distress"
This, however. didn't keep publishers
from flooding the country with pulp
joke books containing anecdotes and
some carrying his picture on the cover.

Danger at Eostpines

The Eastpines Citizens Association has
noticed that your editorials have helped
many people solve problems which are
OF great importance.
For seven years our community has
been faced with very SERIOUS situation,
and it seems that none of the public Of
ficials Of Prince Georges County are
willing to do thing about it.
Eastpines is situated on Riverdale
road, between Edmonston road and De-
fense highway. On this portion. of road
there are two schools. the Wildercroft
Elementary and the st. Bernard's Cath
olic School. There are no sidewalks for
the children to walk upon. and this por-
tion Of road has turned out to be
"short cut speedway" between Route No.
so and Route No. /. To a speeding
driver the safety; of children has little
meaning. Not only the danger Of traf-
fic faces us but there is road construc-
ton, sand pit trucks loaded with sand
and gravel must use this road, and the
gulleys on both sides of the road are
very deep.
