A Queen Dies

nNE OF THE TWO great links
~ between the present day and
the Victorian era was snapped at
1920 pm. Tuesday in a hushed
bedroom in London's Marlborough
House. After IS years, the heart Of
Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga
Pauline Claudine Agnes, Dowager
Queen Of England. stopped beat
ing. With her death, only Winston
Churchill remained as a world
renowned symbol of the days
when England was great and Bril-
tannia ruled the waves.
The stately lady in the outmoded
toque had lived to see two sons
and one granddaughter occupy
the throne of Britain. But the
fulf1llment of her greatest wish
to see her grandchild, Queen
Elizabeth II, crowned in Westmin-
Ster Abbey-was denied her.
The coronation of Elizabeth,
scheduled for June 2, would 60
on. The British government an
nounced that this was the last
wish of Queen Mary. But even had
the old Queen not expressed this
wish, it is unlikely that the coro-
nation would have been delayed.
Even in grief, the English are q
practical people; too many prep
arations had been made; too much
vitally-needed foreign exchange
would be lost If arrangements were
cancelled now.
The sorrow Of Britons over the
Dowager Queens death was wide
spread and profound. She had
seen monarchy decline from the
accepted form OF government to
what many scorned as an anach-
rOnisln. But as much as any one
in the last century, she had main
tanned the crown as a vital symbol
OF stable, sensible rule. She was
not, given to royal excesses Of any
kind, except possibly an excess Of
devotion to duty. She had earned
the English peoples love. instead
Of commanding their fear.
Queen Mary's upright life and
serene death were in sharp con-
trast to the passing, earlier this
month, of a symbol of the new
ruling class-Josef Stain. So, it
seemed, was the genuineness Of
the grief felt by her fellow
countrymen.

Carthy, opposed the nomination Of
Chip Bohlen as Ambassador to
Moscow, that official'S confirmation
last week was a denigration of
the party's name. To many others,
what happened to Wes Roberts
was even more shocking.
Ten weeks ago, just before Pres
ident Eisenhower's Inauguration,
Mr.. Roberts, former Kansas pup-
Usher, was named to head the
Republican National Committee in
place of Arthur Summerfield, who
became Postmaster General.
MIR. Roberts hardly had the seat
OF his chair warm than trouble
started brewing back home in
Kansas. A Republican controlled
committee Of the Republican
Kansas Legislature started looking
into a real estate deal involving
the Republican national chairman.
There was speculation that G. o. p.
factional politics had set the in
quiry in motion.
The details of the deal were
these: The Ancient Order of United
Workmen built a tuberculosis sani-
tarium on State-owned ground Is
years ago. Two years ago the
Order sold the building to the State
for $4,000. MIR. Roberts received
a fee of $1,000 precisely 10 per
cent of the Sale-from the Order.
It was all very businesslike on
the. face of 1t, but for two things.
First of all, there was a question
whether the Order even owned the
building, since it was erected on
State-owned land. Second, the
committee found that Mr.. Roberts
had not registered as a lobbyist
at Topeka during the session when
the deal was consummated.
The Kansas Legislative Commit
tee issued its report Friday eve
ming. 1t found that Mr.. Roberts
had deliberately and intentions
ally" violated the spirit of the
Kansas Lobby Registration Act.
There were two immediate
results:
. Wes Roberts, who had been
charging smear" in connection
with the inquiry, sent President
Eisenhower a letter of resignation
as head of the Republican National
Committee.
. Gen. Eisenhower accepted Mr..
Roberta resignation with the COM
ment that the committee heads
decision to quit was "a wise one.",
The embarrassed g. o. p. started
searching for new chairman.
Two names, Leonard w. Hall Of,
New York and Mcintyre FAIRIES
OF Los Angeles, we're mentioned.
Whatever decision might be made,
it was certain that a dental
hygienist would be called in to-
make sure that the hounds tooth

block is recognized as, good Re-
publican sport, most Republicans
refused to join last weeks game.
From President Eisenhower on
down, the bulk of them were will-,
ing to accept Chip Bohlen for
what he was represented to be-.
the best available authority on the
Soviet Union.
AS for the Democratic minority,
it was almost solidly on the ad-
ministration'S side. Actively fight
ing the nomination was Nevada's
senior Senator, Pat McCarran, an
old Truman-Acheson- -hater from
way back. Senator Johnson,
Democrat, Of Colorado joined with
McCarran and Mccarthy on the
final vote.
From the noise he made, it
might have been logical to assume
that Senator Mccarthy was OPP
posed to any one who had worked
for the Democratic regimes State
Department. This would, of
course, include every senior For
eign Service officer on the Govern
ment payroll.
On the record, however, such is
not the case. At least nine men
who served under Dean Acheson
as policy-makerS have received
Senate confirmation for higI jobs,
if not with McCarthy'S blessing,
at least without his opposition.
He did not fight the confirmation
of James c. Dunn to be AmbasSa-
dor to Spain; Carl Rankin as
Ambassador to China; Ernest
Gross as delegate to the United
Nations; George Allen as Ambas-
sador to India, and Robert D.
Murphy and John M. Cabot as
Assistant Secretaries of State.
AS matter of fact, Mccarthy
actively campaigned for the cleo
tion of a leading collaboration"
with the Democrats: Dwight d.
Eisenhower. And Mccarthy did
not contest the nomination of
another notorious architect of the
Truman foreign policy, John
Foster Dulles, when he was pro-
posed for Secretary of State.
Security Risk Charge
Another stated reason for Sena-
tor McCarthy's opposition to Mr..
Bohlen amounted to a charge that
the nominee was a security risk.
The Wisconsin legislator denies
ever having called Bohlen a Sc
curity risk. Very strictly speak
ing, his denial is correct. What
he did say, in response to a ques-
ton whether he regarded Bohlen
as a security risk was, That's
putting it too weak"
Senator Mccarthy built up what
may be regarded as a classic Nc
Carthy case against Bohlen. He
said Scott Mcleod, State Depart
ment security officer, had refused
to clear the nominee. He said
furthermore that Igor Bopolepov,
a former Soviet foreign officer who
had access to top-secret Russian
files, claimed Bohlen had been
rated friendly to the Soviet Union
while serving in the Moscow En-
bassy in 1939-41. And, continued
Mccarthy, former Secretary of De-
tense Forrestal in his diary re-
ported that the former Ambassador
to Japan. Joseph C. Grew, had
said that Mr.. Bohlen wanted

Covert Objections

Were there other reasons for
Senator McCarthy's dogged OPP
position to Mr.. Bohlen?
Did he believe Mr.. Bohlen to
be a loyalty risk? He didn't say
50, and as Senator Mccarthy is
not: noted for his reticence,
chances are he did not believe Mr..
Bohlen to- be a Communist or a
spy
the Senator out "a Increase
his avn political ppwera THAT was
~ possibility He made the point
thai he would defend America
from 81 slalism no matter which
party was making the mistakes.
That would tend to make, Nc
Carthy a non-partisan hero And
he may have started his Boblen
crusade with the intention of i'm
pressing the administration with
his political strength even while
losing the vote on Bohlen.
But Mccarthy may actually have
lost political power. For the first
time he had completely alienated
leaders of his own party. The
Senator is, after all, a politician,
and he needs party support to be
any more than lone, ignored
voice-like his colleague, Morse of
Oregon. If the rift is not patched
up, he will find 1t harder to oper-
ate in the future. There is almost
no likelihood, however, that the
antagonisms would lead to loss
of his Senate seat or even of his
committee Craftsmanship.
After Dulles?
Was Senator Mccarthy out to
"get" Secretary Dulles? The Sena-
tor has shown obvious signs of
wanting to run the State Depart
ment. If he could make Mr..
Dulles out as an AcheSon-type
arch -bungler, he might reduce the
Secretary's effectiveness and set
him on the skidS. Another Secre-
tary might be more amenable or
might have better foreign policy,
from the Mccarthy point of view.
Was the Senator out to 'getp
the Democrats again? Certainly
one Of his intentions was to revive.
the old Truman faults and make
some partisan hay about (pardon
the expression) Yalta. It is prob
able that the Republicans win run
against Truman and communism
as. long and tirelessly as the Demo-
Gratis have run against Hoover and
depression.
Was Senator McCarthy's opposi-
ton just force. Of habit2 He has
been hell-bent after the State De-
partment for three years. It might
just be little hard for him to slow,
down. Other Republicans in the
habit of all-out opposition have
been having trouble developing
team spirit. Was that Senator
McCarthy's difficulty?
Whatever the reasons behind
the McC Carthy attack, it was sure
that some Of the lustre was gone
last week from the names of both
Mccarthy and Bohlen.

shrub. And Towering ounce and
various kinds Of spirea lend pink
and white touches, respectively, to
the springtime Washington scene.
This is, too, the season for bulbs.
Most noticeable. Of course, is the
daffodil in its many varieties. But
there are still some crocuses left
over from the cold weather and q
few tulips crowding the season.
The book says the hyacinth blooms
in May; a few hyacinths which
haven't read the book already have
burst forth.

In MIR. Millions day, the way to

to go for walk in the country.
Today. the approved method is to
take Sunday drive in the coun-
try, or--in the case Of increasing
numbers Of Americans come to
Washington in cherry blossom
time.
AS a result, Washington has
traffic jams and a definite tourist
season peak. This season is start
ing now; it will build up rapidly
between now and April Is; it will
sustain itself through May. Then
it will abate somewhat, but will
remain a big factor through sum-
mer.
About 400, 900 people are expected
to visit Washington while the
cherries are in bloom. Another
similar number probably will jam
the city in the rest of the 60-day
tourist period. In growing num-
bers, teen-agers are coming to
town to see tirst-hand in two or
three days what they have learned
over the years from their civics
books.
Visiting records at most of the
sightseeing "musts" in Washington
support the claim that spring is
Washington's big time as tourist
center. Last year, for instance,
900,791 people visited the Jefferson
Memorial; 2OO,186 went there in
the cherry-blossom month of April.
The Lincoln Memorial clocked
1.8 million visitors all year, 486,000
in April and May. Likewise, more
than one-fourth of the Washington
Monument 985,000 sightseers
made the long trip up the elevator
shaft in springtime. The April
May peak was noted, also, at Ford's
Theater and the Lee Mansion. It
was even more pronounced at the
Supreme Court, where nearly half
the 557 900 tourists came through
in these two months. Such rec
ords as exist at the Library Of
Congress show q springtime peak.
And although no official counts
are made at the Capitol, guards
there say more people look around
in April and May than at any other
time of year.
Oddly enough, there are two ex-
ceptions to the ruleand those
are the best tourist attractions in
town. They are the Zoo, which
drew S.3 million visitors in 1852,
and the Smithsonian, where 2.8
million were received. Both have

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

from the church because they
don't like the music. or the man
sitting across in the other pew.
There must be oil in the lamp
and the wick trimmed and ready
for the great day,
A famous baseball coach used
to shout at his players when they
came up to bat. BE ready for
that pitch! Don't just stand
there. Be ready for It." Some of
the maidens-the wise ones, were
ready for the coming of the
bridegroom. We today might lik-
en- the oil in the lamp to our
faith, faith confirmed by pray
er and thriving on the obedient
life. They were eager and alert,
anxious to participate and enjoy
the feast and other festivities.
Regardless of the hour, they
were ready and assumed the in
dividual responsibility for their
part in the ceremony. So the in
dividual Christian must assume
his own responsibility in the
church, in the community. He
cannot delegate his faith, his dut-
lies to his parents. to his neigh
boFs. The wise Christian is not
deceived by any Of the signs or
false prophets. They are always
ready.
The tragedy of this parable Is
that there were foolish virgins.
While they all slept, the wise viz
gins made adequate preparation
for the great event. The foolish
virgins, like many Christians to-
day, sleep on without having pre-
pared for the coming Of Christ.
Their religion is more or less per-
functory and in their procrasti-
