Colonel Chouncey G. Parker, Jr.

In the passing of Colonel Chauncey c.
Parker ir, Washington and the Nation have
lost a citizen whose whole active life was a
service to the public. Nature gave him power
of devotion rare among men, and he used that
power with unlimited generosity. Quiet in
manner, never provocative in bearing he won
outstanding success in private business and
then devoted the rest of his days to work in
behalf of this community, the Nation and the
world at large.
Colonel Parker, in brief was patriot of
the best kind. He loved America and saw field
duty overseas in both world wars, first in the
Army and later in the Marines Meanwhile
he qualified for heavy responsibility as assistant
deputy director of the draft system and as
chairman of the Navy Price Adjustment Board
He was appointed director of the Administrative
Department of the International Bank in 1947,
Assistant High Commissioner for Germany in
1850 and chief of the Mutual Security Agency
mission in Italy in 1852.
OF course, his designation to posts abroad
took Colonel Parker away from Washington;
but he always considered this city his home
and always kept alive his interest in its welfare.
He was general chairman of the Community
Chest campaigns of 1910 and 1948 and preSi-
dent of the Community Chest Federation in
1949 and 1850 The concern for local problems
and for their solution which he proved by his
labms in those positions remained character

decided to investigate the out house.
1t was not part of the barn, but was
well away from it.
There was a door, and a couple of
windows, with shelves stacked with
household goods. In those days IN a
small country town, the housewife did
not run to the store every whip5titch.
If thing wasn't on hand, it simply
wasn't available That was, despite its
drawbacks, the good old American way.
Young Walt and Temp looked over
the shelves. played among the barrels,
and looked into the empty one where
apples would go in the fall.
Whats thiS?" asked Walter.
That's the -four replied Temp.
And what's in this?" said Walter,
pointing.

swing this spout, it will be right over

Templeton Jones stared.
You turn the spigot," said ole Devil
Walter.
So Templeton Jones turned the
spigot, and all the coal oil ran into
the barrel of flour. and then there was
a great mess, followed later by many
tears, and explanations in vain.
He told me to do it-he told me to
do it."
Right there, Templeton Jones learned

This and That

it turns out that way, and sometimes
just wrangle among relatives.
And back home" the old swimming
hole seems to be only dirty little pool,
now, and the distance between fathers
old house and grandmother's reduced
to such a short distance.
In memory. that side yard was as
wide as the Mall, with the grape arbor
in between.
There were great Concord grapes,
tied up in white bags to keep the bees
out.
There was an out house, as it was
called, in which such commodities as
flour and coal oil tthey never called it
kerosene) and apples in barrels were
kept against the rainy day.
The small Templeton Jones had an
equally small playmate, but chubby,
one Walter Pfrimmer.
In these present hectic days. Tenn
pleton Jones sometimes wonders what
ever became of fat little Walter.
What an imagination that boy had!
There was the time, when Walter
told all the boys to come to the barn
at dark as his father was bringing him
a magic lantern from Louisville.
There was, of course, no magic Ian
tern, because Walters father had not
gone to town at all. The whole thing
was just what the books insist on call

Something to Do

When Senator Taft lay ill., friends and
strangers telephoned his home and his office
to ask: rs there anything we can do?" The
answer at the moment was: mo, everything
that can be done is being done"
But now that the story of the Senator's
illness has been told another answer has
developed. The curse of cancer has received
another dramatic demonstration. Mr.. Taft
was only one of millions of its victims. But
his death has given increased vitality to the
crusade to destroy this cruel destroyer. The
entire public has something to do in aid of
the efforts to discover the causes and to find a
final definitive cure for cancer.
What is wanted, of course, is money. The
Taft family suggested that people desiring to
show their respect and affection for the Sena-
tor might contribute in his memory to the
American Cancer Society, Incorporated; and
many persons have done so. But there must be
still more who wish to cooperate. Funds con-
tributed will be wisely and helpfully spent The
Washington branch of the American Cancer
Society has headquarters at 14l5 street NV

Cose Against Seating Red China in U.N.

u. N, Communist China would have to
make its constitution consistent with
the Charter and prove by deeds that it
lives uH to the principles of the U. N
But then it would be no longer Com
munist China. AS long as it is ruled by
the followers of MarXiSm- Leninism-
Stalinism, it will be unable to do so.
While admission of Red China to the
y. N. would signify the abdication and
an eventual disintegration of this Or
ganization, it would also be major
political blunder of the free nations.
The Soviet empire has been shaken by
a series of active or passive revolts in
the satellite states. If instead of giving
the revolters encouragement and sup
port, we strengthen the hand of the
Soviet Union by granting one of its &C
completes place in the association OF
democracies, then the courageous oppo-
nents of communism in the enslaved
nations would rightly feel betrayed and
abandoned. Any resistance to commu-
niSm would collapse, while the prestige
Of the free nations would suffer a
severe and lasting setback.
The Asiatic countries, on the other
hand, would be UNDERSTANDABLE i'm
pressed by the appearance of still an
other large Communist state in the
U. N. They would be irresistibly driven
into It's orbit. Democratic India would
lose its bid for the leadership of Asia
to totalitarian power while all of the
Western nations would lose whatever
little influence they retain in the coun-
tries of that continent.
The entry of Communist China in
the u. N. would not be defeat of the
free world; it would be rout.

ALEXANDRIA, Va.
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
II should like to tell M. j. L. Of
Bethesda that by way of economy she
might follow my summer plan for feed
ing the birds, when had my own home
and garden.
Il let them forage for themselves six
day a week, but gave them a large
Sunday picnic.
There was always water supplied,
however, all the year around. The
birds stayed, and by my diary, a pair
of doves returned for five years on
the same date.
"All winter kept feeding stations
close to the house in trees so that We
could watch them-also at a distance
for the shy ones-after having con-
tinually swept the snow for place for
the ground feeders.
I've been reading your column for
years and this is the first time I've
offered my cents WORTH To an
apartment dweller it's like going back
home.
Sincerely, S. w. H."
Thank you nam, that's a very nice
compliment.

comes to all, at times, it is pleasant
to think of ones self as like going

Taking Unneeded Risk

only the passage of time can provide the
answer as to who is most right on the debt
ceiling controversy-the administration leaders
who feel the ceiling should have been raised
this summer in order to avert the risk of a
fiscal crisis before the end of the year or the
Senate group which feels that careful manage
ment can keep the debt under the present $275-
billion limit, at least until January.
Unfortunately, there is a major gamble
involved in waiting for time to provide the
answer. For if the Government does run out of
spending money and can't pay it's bills, as
Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey predicted
some days ago. it will be not only damaging to
Government credit but perhaps of panic
making danger to the whole fiscal structure of
the Nation Forces of this nature are not
easily controlled if once they get out of ad-
justment.
Of course, Congress can be called back
into special session if the threat appears more
real in the autumn than it is today. Even if
this doesn't prove necessary it is difficult to see
what value is being accomplished by under
going the risk. The debt ceiling in itself does
not guarantee economy in Government spend
ing and anyway the Eisenhower administra-
ton already has demonstrated that it is
economy minded. Secretary Humphrey has
expressed new assurances on that score and has
promised every effort to keep expenditures
down to postpone the necessity for action on
the debt ceiling, perhaps until the next regular
session of Congress. He warned once again,
however, that the present ceiling severely
restricts fexibility and will more and more
limit our ability to administer the financial
affairs of the Government"
1t is true that the administration request
for an increase in the debt limitation came
rather belatedly, and it was not on the legisla-
tive must" list agreed upon at the White House
just before Congress quit. But. there were no
compelling reasons, other than personal desires,
why Congress had to adjourn at that time. 1t
had been a relatively brief session, especially
for a non-election year, and the extra few days
needed to consider the debt-ceiling problem
more fully could have been spared.

Election Time in Canada

Eighteen years of one-party rule are being
put to the test of public appraisal in national
elections in Canada on Monday, but the time
for a change" psychology which played such
large part in the 1852 vote in the United States
is not expected to have such sweeping effect
north of the border.
The Liberal Party, led by the popular Prime
Minister ST. Laurent, won its most impressive
victory in 1919, taking nine of the ten provinces
and 1913 out of 262 seats in the House of Com
mons Some reduction in this margin is being
predicted this year as the Progressive Conserva-
tives pitch most of their campaign emphasis on
a promise of tax decreases. Even this appealing
idea however, is overshadowed by the more
dramatic fact that Canada is enjoying
tremendous economic boom. Development of
oil, natural gas and mineral resources in the
West and the opening of great new iron ore
deposits in the East have fitted into a great
industrial and capital expansion on a scale
that hardly encourages political change.
Fortunately, the outcome of the election
will have little bearing on relationships with the
United States The Conservatives have plugged
for greater economic independence" from the
United States in the sense of increasing British
Canadian trade but no genuine issue has de-,
veloped over Canadian American association.
Both parties are supporting the principle of
collective security and continued rearmament
for defense
The two minor parties of Canada have APP
preciable strength only in the West. The
Social Creditors, an extreme right-wing party,
carried Alberta Province in 1949 and now has
local government control in British Columbia
The Socialists hold provincial control in Sas-
katcheWan but are reported to have little fol-
lowing elsewhere The Communist Party has
candidates but not many followers At the
most, only scattering of parliamentary seats
is likely to fall to any of these lesser parties
AS good neighbor" with confidence in
the judgment of our friends to the north, the
United States can look forward with interest
and without apprehension at what will happen
in the Canadian polling places on Monday.

Prisoner Repatriation

From the beginning the United
States has held to the principle that
no antl-Communist prisoner should be
forced to return to either North Korea
or China against his will.
Now we have set up a procedure for
repatriation which almost directly con-
tradicts that principle. According to
the truce, anti-CommuniSt prisoners of
the U. N. forces will be forced to listen
TO communist orators begging and
cajoling them to return to North Korea
or China and promising them forgive
ness, etc. Once the prisoners fall for
these promises and put themselves in
the power of the Communists, they are
due for almost certain death.
Another truce term provides that if.
after listening to these speeches, nom
Communist prisoners still desire to
remain in South Korea, or 60 any,
where but back to North Korea or
China. they must appeal to a So-called
neutral commission for permission to
do so.
And who comprises this commission?
There are members from two nom
Communist countries, two Communist
members and the delegate from India.
Thus. the India delegation holds the
balance of power in the commission.
AS India has in the past been notori-
ously friendly to Red China and has
not fought against her, she is likely to
side with the Reds, and the poor hap
less non-Communist prisoners will find
they are appealing to a commission
stacked against them in the ratio of
three to two.

Lowering Voting Ace

Some of your readers have written
protesting lowering of the voting age.
They seem to think that because they
personally were mentally immature
and politically uniformed at the age
of 10. that all others at the same age
are handicapped to the point of not
being able to think for themselves. 1t
seems rather difficult to understand
why in this enlightened country of
ours. three times within the past SO
years we have entrusted to the current
crop of mentally immature 18-year-olds
all that Americans hold dear.
If man is old enough at 18 to be
drafted Cor volunteer-yes, some of
these mentally immature" 18-year-
Odds think enough of their country
to do Just that and wear the uniform
of this country into battle, then he is
old enough to cast his vote to help
decide who is to govern this country.

Best Foot Forward

The President, in keeping with time
honored political tradition, pointed more to the
silver lining than to the cloud in his report to
the Nation on the first six months of his adj
ministration. And if the lining seemed brighter
to him than to his critics, that, too, is part of
the familiar tradition.
1t cannot fairly be said, however, that Cen
eral Eisenhower was either unreaSonably boast
full with respect to things accomplished or
excessively optimistic concerning the work
which remains to be done. His claimed achieve
ments are facts, and he said nothing to en-
courage wishful thinking or exaggerated hopes
with regard to the enormously difficult goals
which are still unrealized.
As the President put it, the claimed &C
complishmentS represent only little more than
a beginning. Il know" he said "of no official
of this administration so foolish as to believe
that we, who in January came to Washington
have seen and conquered all the problems of
our Nation. The future both immediate and
distant, remains full of trial and hazard.
That is sensible and modest summary of
a political speech which, incidentally,
gratifyingly lacking in abuse and invective In
a word, the Presidents claim is that some few
specific things have been finished and founda-
ton of planning for more and bigger achieve
ments has been laid. Any administration
coming to power after 20 years of political exile
is entitled to be Judged not on the completed
work of the first six months, but on the extent
to which it succeeds in the next year and
half in building something substantial on the
foundation of plans which have been made.
This is the fair test and it is the test by which
the country as a whole will appraise the EiSen-
hover administration
