becomes lion, not the lion OK"
Very true, but the Home Missionary
Society commented:
1T is conceivable that if lion ate
too much OK, it might become a very
sick lion; or if he happened to eat a
badly diseased OK. we might have a
dead lion on our hands. But instinct
saves the lion from eating too much
OK, or diseased OK at all. The United
States has no such saving instinct"
Americas recent experience with the
Rosenberg traitors, their f1nanciers and
their defenders, is convincing evidence
to thinking Americans that there have
been elements given asylum in our
country badly diseased politically, quite
out Of sympathy with American stand
ards and the American way of life.
To be sure, the Rosenbergs were born
in this country. but they are of type
which DR.. Paul Hutchinson, editor of
the Christian Century, declares in his
introduction to Rabbi Elmer Berger's
"A Partisan History of Judaism:
1.-THE very word assimilation has
become reproach on their lips. They
insist that the melting pot must not
be allowed to melt"

John F. Larkin.

The confidence which / have always
had in your Jay Carmody has suffered
rude jolt by his understandable
enthusiasm rather-of the current "at-
traction" at the National. I believe he
has written that he had seen the show
number of times. If Guys and Dolls"
is smash" hit to the modern theater-
goer, 1 can only sympathize with his
poverty and regret that he did not see
the musical miracles of the 1920S. Who
could ever forget the lavishness, the
beauty, the music, art and real fun
represented by the shows of that era
the Ziegfeld Follies, George Whites
Scandals, and Earl CAROLS Vanities,
to say nothing of dozens of other mu-
steals and light operettas?
Whose scenery today can compare
with that of the master Joseph Urban?
Is it not of the "shoe string" variety
except in the movies? The outstanding
comedians-lord help us-are Abbott
and Lewis, and the wise cracking Hope
Compare this paucity with the real fun
makers of yesterday, such as Leon Enrol
Watson and Clark, Eugene and Willie
Howard, Gallagher and Shean, Frank
T1nney, the Virginia Judge, Fred Stone,
Bert Williams, Eddie Bowling, Weber
and Fields, the much younger Eddie
Cantor, Al Jolson and Joe Brown, to
say nothing of the many women fun
sters and the vaudeville favorites too
numerous to mention.
We had the fresh, scintillating music
OF F'riml and several other of his Aus
trlan compatriots whose names I do
not now recall, Irving Berlin, the one
and only Victor Herbert, whose song
hits and music are just as popular today
as they were then. The dancers were
Jack Donahue. Marilyn Miller, the Cas-
ties, Ann Pennington. Tom Patricola
and, of course, the agile and young
Fred AStaire and his sister Who could
ever forget the beautiful and talented
M9rllyn Miller and the Snow Ball
Ballet of Sunny" the original "Show
Boat" and numerous other scenes and
shows of the era?
The most continuous fun I believe ]
have ever seen was $50 Long Lefty"
built around the two couples who lived
in adjoining railroad cars and decided
to switch mates. My sides still ache
when think of it. That show brought
overnight fame to four, the two out
standing being Charlotte Greenwood
and Walter Catlett. I would like to
see that one produced today, but it
can't be done for there is no one to
take the place of those two incompa-
rabies. I could go on and on. deeply
regret that those of today could not
have seen the theater and the sports
of the golden era" Alas for the poor
saturated moviegoers and those who
rave over the smash hits of today.
Heaven pity us!

Praises Homemukinq Service

Taxpayers wonder what will the
present administration do next.
Now we read that-because of budget
cuts-the District Health Department
dismisses its 19 employees in home
making service.
According to published reports, So
cial Service Director Media A. Wealth
ers stated, "The homemaking service
has been widely used, especially in
giving short-term care to children
while the mother is in the hospital hav-
service like it in the District. I don't

The homemaking service has helped

out putting additional obligations and
burdens on overladen taxpayers.
It is another circumstance to furnish

On Admitting Aliens

read q letter in The Star signed
"Pro Bono Publfco," expressing the
opinion that 100 million Americans do
not have room in their country (nor in
their hearts, it seems) for 200 900 men,
women and children made homeless by
human cruelty.
PRO Bo" ends with this paragraph:
"Our own self-interest and self
preservation demand that We keep for
ourselves what we have. Otherwise we
shall go the way of other over-populated
nations and lose all that we have
gained politically. economically and
spiritually.
May ask what PRO Bono" has gained
spiritually during his years in country
proud to be friend to the friendless
and the home of freedom, humanity
and simple hospitality? BY the evi-
dence of his own words: nothing. 1t
seems all too clear what Mr.. Bono

means to keep. Beware, sir: Christ
has said, and it is many times proven.
that he who would save his life shall
lose it.; only by selfleSs giving of life.

What to Do When Peach Time

Peaches woman's page Of The Star

cottage pudding led the pro-
ceSSion of instructions. Then followed
peach pastry shortcake, peach cobbler.
peach charlotte, peach Snowballs, Gus
tard peaches, peach cream, sago peach
pudding, baked peaches. etc. Each Of
the desserts described seemed very
tasty, but cream, butter and sugar
rather than peaches appeared to be
the main ingredients. Perhaps the
richness - and the expensiveness - Of
such dishes explain why they grad
ually have been replaced during the

frozen peaches. Modern menus make
no mention Of peach charlotte or peach

Our Casualties in Korea

Though still subject to change, the Defense
Department's current count of total American
casualties in Korea is complete and definite
enough to make clear that the war that has
been fought there has been the fourth blood1est
in our history.
What the figures show is that our forces
suffered 142277 casualties, including 256O4
killed in action. This represents approximately
a third of the total suffered by all the coun-
tries-particuarly South Korea-that joined
together under the United Nations command
to give battle to the Communist aggressors. In
only three other wars have American losses
been greater-our Civil War, the First World
War and the Second World War.
The comparison here seems especially i'm
preSsive because in these earlier conflicts the
fighting was carried on to decision bringing
victory. But in Korea there has been no such
decision. BY deliberate choice, limited war
has been fought there, and truce accepted
in preference to an all-out struggle. AS a
result there are those who feel that our Ameri
can casualties have been in vain. Yet, though
future events may vindicate that feeling, what
must not be overlooked is that the original
objective of the u N. Command has been
achieved-the aggressors have been repelled
and punished grievously for their crime. They
have suffered losses, in terms OF dead and
wounded, far greater than those suffered by
our allied side.
This punishment, taken together with the
American and U. N. decision to stop and push
back the Communists, may well have per-
manently deterring effect on the Red totali-
tarians It may we'll have filled them with
grave doubts about undertaking aggression
elsewhere. In that sense, history may yet
glorify the action in Korea as a great and de-
cisive stroke in behalf of peace. In that sense,
there is still good reason to say that it is much
too early for anybody to believe that our youth
has made its sacrifices there In vain.

DR.. CorreI's Papers

Many important gifts have been made to
Washington institutions in recent years, but
none has been more valuable or significant of
its kind than that Of the presentation of DR..
Alexis CarrelS papers to the Medical Center OF
Georgetown University. This unique and very
precious collection of manuscripts and letters
reflects the career and services of great crea-
tive practitioner of the healing arts. When he
died in 1914 The Star said of him: "His instinct
was essentially generous and humane. Ameri-
cans who were associated with him at the
Rockefeller Institute between 1906 and 1889
found him a notably agreeable colleague, de-
voted to the common cause of advancing Scien-
tiflc knowledge and faithful to the grand ideal
of life made happier and more secure through
organized common sense"
Dr. Carrel won the Nobel Prize in medicine
as long ago as 1912. He was native of France
and never ceased to love his native country but
he also developed an ardent affection for the
United States, where he obtained support for
his experimental labors His special assignment
was the study of living tissue. He invented
new technical procedures for suturing blood
vessels and for the surgical tranSplanting OF
organs. In the First World War he distinguished
himself in the treatment of open wounds. He
came to this city in 1881 to receive the Nordhoff-
Jung award for researches toward the preven-
ton of cancer. Near the end of his career he
was joined by Charles A. Lindbergh in a success
full endeavor to prove that such an organ as
heart may be kept in health under glass in
definitely.
OF course. DR.. Carrels own notes, his own
correspondence, are source for further study.
Other men, younger and more fortunate per-
haps In respect to the time of their efforts,
should find them helpful. That is the thought
that has prompted the widow Of Dr. Carrel to
OFFER them to Georgetown. She raises noble
monument to her husband by so doing.

Chaos Down on the Farm


Never during my so years of expert
ence in agriculture can I remember
such a chaotic state of affairs. The
cause Of it would appear to be fairly
evenly divided race between politicians
and the farmers themselves.
To hold down the cost of living, Gov
"ernment agricultural handouts" were
initiated, primarily to help appease la
Dor. Later. when the politicians thought
they saw some success - politically
speaking-from this type of legisla-
tion, they decided to increase their vot-
ing block by adding bit more for the
farmer himself-which he accepted.
This acceptance of Government "hand-
OUTS" inadequate as they were. upset
the soundness of our agricultural
economy.
These Handouts" started the ASST
nine cycle of higher industrial wages
and unsuccessful efforts to maintain an
artificial low cost of living. The trad
ing of spratS for mackerel to the farm
mers by the Government failed to offset
the ever-increasing rise in the indus
trial wage scale. Once initiated, no
politician ever reScinds patronage legis-
Ation, and, in order to counteract this
ever-riSing cost of living, farm "hand-
outs" were Increased in an endeavor
to hold it down. This was only par
TALLY successful from labor's standpoint.
causing them to pyramid one successful
strike on top of another in an en-
deavor to keep ahead Of the game.
The seeds of this low form of political
legislation were quickly harvested in
the form of lowered purchasing power
of the dollar, which gradually dropped
to so cents. So-called parity prices
were initiated, guaranteeing the pro-
ducer minimum price, which was af-
fected by the Government purchasing
certain agricultural products which
failed to sell on the open market, above
the established parity prices.
With prices for agricultural products
guaranteed to the farmer, he promptly
threw restraint to the winds and pro-
duced to the limit of his ability. AS
result, the Government of this coun-
try now owns the largest stock of
periShable foods in the world-without
customer in sight!
