Fear Of Slave Revolt

Russia can be prevented from

the will to resist in the hearts of

the conference.
Mr.. Mcdowell, American Fed
Grafton of Labor leader in the
fight against communism, de-
clared the revolt of industrial
workers in East Germany, Poland

Soviet slave empire from new
aggression in Europe than all
the diplomatic conferences from
Yalta to Bermuda, and all the

Moral Issues Stressed.
DR.. Charles w. Lowry, Wash

The only alternative to all

Letters to The Star.

stead Of a wishbone. the juvenile de-
linquent will fade from the picture.
Kathryn Davis.
Perusing one of the morning papers
recently, an article came to my atten-
ton which, to say the least, was ap-
palling. It stated that 5.3 million mar
ried women with children under the
age Of 18, and 81 million with children
under school age, are working. Is 1t
any wonder then that we have juve-
nile delinquency? Children being left
with young maids, who may themselves
be delinquent, to train and guide them,
and the general himsy excuse given
by these mothers is "in order to sup
plement the family income" which is
a cover-up for disliking houSework and
caring for children.
No married woman should work un-
less it is an absolute necessity, and
especially those who have children to
rear. It would seem they are thinking
only of the "all-mighty dollar" and
the extras It will buy rather than the
crimes that may be committed by their
children with no mother to guide them
and no real home life. The parents,
and not the children, are the guilty
culpritS in any crimes committed, and
are the ones to be prosecuted.
Is 1t not strange that parents do not
feel that they should make sacrifices
after bringing children into the world?

FIuoridution Opposed

would some one please tell me how
the Citizens Committee on Fluoridation
stands on the Subpect of chlorination?"
asks Murray v. Churchill in The Star of
September g..
1t really does not matter how any
one stands on the subject Of chlorina-
tion, since there is no similarity or COM
parabiIity between this and f1uoridation.
There is deliberate effort to fool the
public and make them think that these
two processes are just alike. This is
false. Chlorine is added to the water to
purify it and kill harmful bacteria.
Flourine, on the other hand, is ad-
mittedly added for the sole purpose Of
effecting physiological change in
section of the human body-the teeth.
The promoters of this program claim
that fuorine prevents tooth decay in
young children to certain extent. 1t
therefore falls into the category of pre-
ventive medicine. The propagandists
are studiously lodging this word med
icine" and specifically counsel their
statesmen" not to use it. The compul-
sorry application of medicine, pre-
ventive or otherwise, to whole popula-
tions, is evidently mass medication.
If Murray Churchill has any proof
to offer that the long-range ingestion
Of fluorine in drinking water by all
classes and conditions of people-the
well, the sick, the aged-in necessarily
unregulated and uncontrolled quanti-
ties will have absolutely no harmful
results physically, we would all appre-
ciate it if he would come forward with
such proof. Vera E. Adams,

They lack the ability to catch heas
on themselves, which enables younger
ones to keep down the numbers, except
as kittens, when they are too young
to realize the problem.
These old cats need a thorough dose
of flea power, followed the next day
by q thorough combing with q fine
toothed comb, which may be secured
at pet shop.
The old cat gets matted fur close
to the skin. in which fieas hide and
eggs hatch out.
This is mixed with blood and excreta
from the feas, causing an irritation
which almost drives the animal crazy
with scratching.
Even with diligence, patience and the
best of English-made fine combs, the
true debris is difficult to get out. but
until it is, the cat has no comfort.
All in all, the flea problem is real
one to cat owners. The dog may be
handled roughly, without hurt. but
the cat is a more tender animal, and
resents such treatment, even when it
is necessary.
The cat and dog flea does not live
on humans, but it does bite them, and
some times severely.
Fleas will multiply, unfortunately;
they will become intrenched In house,
unless steps are taken to oust them;
they will not go away Of themselves;
they can be elected, but 1t takes work,
persistence and patience.

fleas and their eggs are wiped out. Well.
almoSt!
The eggs fall between the cracks in
hardwood floors, and are almost i'm
possible to get out, until they hatch
and the young fleas come out Of them
selves.
So it is a day-after- day task, not
just job of a few hours.
If the cleaner is used as a weapon,
not just as a cleaner, it will do the
work.
Flea powders may be sprinkled on
small rugs, and let lie for few hours,

There Is little point in using the tube
on cats. This may take of few
fleas, but these insects are canny, and
run from point to point, or even Jump
off.
Washing the cat with antiseptic is
of doubtful utility. Nor do powders
alone solve the problem.
There is a cycle in egg production
which covers the hot months Of June,
July and August. Then the cycle is
at its peak.
What are called dormant eggs also
are laid.
These may live as long as two years.
So, the householder may see that
nature stacks things against him.
Elderly cats pose q special problem.

Juvenile Delinquency
PubliuS.

Millions of words and thousands of
suggestions have been written about
the juvenile delinquent. Raising the
appropriation is fine, enlarging the
police force is okay too, but that is
not going to fill the bill.
In The Star a few weeks ago an
article appeared: youth Is Acquitted
of Attacking Policeman; Judge Finds
Doubt"
The judge doubted the policeman and
took the word of the suspect instead of
that Of the officer. Those few words
tell the story. The officer didn't have
a chance. The judge even took the
words Of the confederates.
When first moved to Metropolitan
Washington, I asked a neighbor who
was a policeman, why young people
were purse-snatching breaking win
dows, and such, and lacked respect for
the laws. He said it was very hard to
get conviction.

Takes Issue With Dr.. MuIik

read with interest the September 10
report by Crosby NoyeS Of the address
by DR.. Charles Malik, Ambassador of
Lebanon, before the American Political
Science Association. Permit me to ex-
press, briefly, one Americans reaction
to the good ambassadors remarks. Not
having been present, my comments, Of
course, are based on Mr.. Noyes' report.
DR.. Malik, who, as Mr.. Noyes states,
has acquired somewhat Of a reputation
as political philosopher, tells us that
in the face Of the threat of communism,
"the notion Of the sovereignty Of the
people must >. be somewhat tempered
in the present age" He states also that
United States policy, and of course he
referred to foreign policy, must Ger
tainly be conceived and developed far
from the din Of the masses" and sug-
geSted that the United States should
have high planning authority COM
pletely detached and free in its outlook
and as independent Of the changing
fortunes Of politics as possible" He then
adds this clincher: The obligations of
present-day leadership are 'to make
absolutely sure Of the truth, independ-
emily of what the masses may think,
and then, so to love the people in
humility and in genuine concern as to
be able to lead them in the necessary
effort for their common good"
In effect, DR.. Malik has told us to
drop our present democratic system and
to adopt Fuehrer system or perhaps
Politburo which would lead the igno-
rant people, as DR.. Malik says. Gin the
necessary effort for their common
good" DR.. Malik certainly knows that
this was the Hitler system and that this
is the Communist system.
While it is true that DR.. Malik rep
resents one of the less undemocratic
of the Middle Eastern countries, he
certainly speaks for one which has not
been noted in the world as model CT
democracy; in fact, it is a country
which in at least three instances in the
last three years has substituted political
assassination for democratic process. !
refer to the assassination in 1851 of
Riyad el Solh, Lebanon elder states
man and foreign minister, who was
asSaSsinated in Amman by Lebanese
assassins; the assassination of number
of political rioters and the Wounding
of scores of others in July of this year,
and the assassination of Mohammed
Abud, former minister of finance, by
political rivals, also in the election of
July of this year.
These things are lamentable, but they
are Lebanon's business, not ours. SINH
larly, it is DR.. Maliks business when,
as foreign diplomat, he chooses to
use the platform of an American or
ganization for a learned metaphysical
discussion. However, If Mr.. Noyes has
cut correctly through the distractions
of Ambassador Malik, and I am sure
based on his past performance as a
reporter that he has. DR.. Malik's out
spoken proposal to substitute the
Fuehrer's system for our American
democratic system is more than un-
fortunate. 1t is, in fact, insolent and
amazing. Carl Levin.

Dear Sir:
'I hope you are an expert on fleas.
Here's our problem:
1--WE picked up stray kitten and
belatedly discovered we also had
brought home some travelling compan-
ions.
After using flea powder, and also
getting rid Of the kitten. we find that
the fleas have made switch.
What happens now?
: do they live on humans? (They
certainly jump on them)
will they multiply?
'Will they become intrenched in the
house?
will they go away?
"Can we forcibly eject them, or are
we doomed?
Your answer, am sure, will be Of
interest to many pet owners.
Sincerely, M. K"
Flea-ridden premises are not doomed.
But it takes a great deal of work to
get rid of the fleas.
Sometimes, in extreme cases, profess
sional insect killers must be called in.
In such cases, the home may have
to be abandoned for few days. But
these are, truly, extreme cases; the
average fea-infested house may be rid
Of them by hard work and know-how.
The best weapon is the ordinary
vacuum cleaner.

Some Old Harry

In his adreSs at the Democratic rally
IN Chicago, former President Harry s.
Truman stated, "Now, the business of
a political meeting is politics. And I
think we ought to get down to business.
Politics is really public service. In our
country politics is government"
After this interesting definition of
politics the former Chief Executive
came out fighting in the typical Tru-
man manner. The model Of the Pen
dergaSt school of politics wasted no
time exemplifying the rather platonic
definition Of politics with which he
began his discourse. Instead we flnd
the technique of oversimplif1cation and
shameless hyperbole as when he says,
"The only good thing about the 83d
Congress is the Democratic part"
And we find that internal consistency
means nothing to the fighting man from
Missouri. For example, he states, "Be-
cause on the few occasions when the
administration has proposed something
that is for the welfare of the country,
who helped them to put it through?
Not the Republicans in Congress, but
the Democrats" Yet, few minutes
later the very same man asserts, "They
say they are for better housing, but they
kill of public housing. :" OF course,
the former President carefully avoids
telling us that President Eisenhower
requested Congress to authorize the
construction of $4,000 units of public
housing and that because the Democrats
failed to support the Presidents pro-
posal, Congress authorized construction
Of only 10000 units
Examples Of the journeyman politi-
clans techniques employed by the mas
ter could be multiplied. The speech is
full of them. It is comforting somehow
IN this changing world to realize that
he's the same old Harry. He may say
that politics is government, but he
still speaks and acts as If he follows a
definition of politics Tom Pendergast
would call his own.

Visitor From Turkey

It Is gratifying that President Celal Bayar
of Turkey has accepted President Eisenhower's
invitation to come here on state visit in Janu-
ary. Nothing could better demonstrate the
cordiality and f1rmneSs of the relationship ex-
listing between our two countries, not only as
allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
but also as peoples who have developed un-
usually strong ties of mutual admiration and
friendship despite the great geographical
distance separating us.
There are many reasons why Americans
feel the way they do about Turkey. They have
seen, for one thing, how this tough-fbered and
brave country has stood up, without f1inching,
against the threats and pressures of it's big
Soviet neighbor. They have seen, too-notably
in the election of the distinguished President
Bayar in 1950-how genuine its democracy has
grown to be. Above all, they have seen how
its young men have gone to Korea to fight
valiantly and Skillfully, and in more than few
cases to lay down their lives, side by side with
our own and other U. N. troops in the struggle
against Communist aggression.
It is because of all this, and more besides,
that Americans regard the Turks as NATo
ally of unexcelled staunchneSs and resoluteness.
Turkish chief of state has never before come
to the United States) he will find that this
admiration for his country and his countrymen
is very real and very widespread. 1t will be
an honor to have him here. He represents a
great and independent people who have dem
onstrated unequivocally that they stand solidly
on the side of decency and freedom against the
menace of Red totalitarianiSm.
