John Brown, whose name and deeds
made Harpers Ferry famous. A national
or international contest should be
instituted to provide suitable statue
of John Brown, which could be erected
either on the campus of Storer College
or the vicinity of Jefferson Rock. John
Brown not only freed the slaves, he
made possible a higher standard Of
living for all races in America, and was
indirectly responsible for bringing pub
lie education to the South, blessing
of the carpetbagger regime and the
Civil War that most historians prefer
to ignore, since the South, even today
prefers to keep its citizens illiterate.
Harpers Ferry deserves to be more
than just tourist stopping place. In
its service to the Nation it far outranks
Gettysburg or Mount Vernon, for here
the slave system was uprooted and
man, regardless of color, origin or
religion, became free AS a national
shrine it should be more than few
picnic tables, two rivers and the Har-
per House.

lions. Not less than outsiders, average Russian
citizens must surely be asking themselves who
will be next on the list and whether or not
their armed forces-particularly the army
really are firm in their support of the fedgling
post-Stalin regime. What Pravda and Red Star
have printed seems plainly designed to eliminate
such uncertainty, but still the doubts are likely
to persist in the minds of Berias chief
burgers. The Soviet system being what it is,
anything can happen in it, including the ex-
ploson of a military detection. Uneasy lie the
heads of the mutually suspicious men of the
Kremlin.

Post Office Deficit

Postmaster General Summerdeld
should be supported 100 per cent in MS
endeavor to reduce the deficit OF the
Post Office Department. Regardless OF
the opposition to the increase In the
rate of second-claSS postage, Congress
should take the necessary steps to put
this gigantic business on paying basis.
There should be no discrimination;
every person, company, organization
and corporation should bear snare
for services rendered.
A few years ago, Congress increased
first-class letter postage from two to
three cents per ounce, and not long
ago increased the penny postal card to
two cents. How much did they In
crease the rate on second-clasS mail?
A year ago it was increased 10 per
cent of a cent and half, and this year
another 10 per cent of cent and
half and next year there is to be an
other increase of 10 per cent of cent
and half. Remember, for fraction
of over one cent and half per pound,
publishers use postal facilities for for
warding their periodicals all over the
United States.
How long would the publisher or
circulation manager of a publishing
firm retain his position or high salary
if his organization showed a deficit?
They retain their positions and high
salaries by increasing the rates to ad-
vertisers, also the price of the periodical
to the buying public. They do this be-
cause they can not operate with a
deficit. Then how to they expect the
American people to operate their Post
Office Service at deficit?

Monument for John Brown

Harpers Ferry, as pointed out in your
editorial of July 20, has all the physical
and historical attributes of a great
national monument" and should be
developed as such. 1t is unfortunate
plans call for destruction of many old
buildings for the place could be re-
stored in part by private ownership
as was done in nearby Waterford, Va,
and many landmarks saved, since the
place is within easy committing dis
lance of the Washington area.
There is not a more beautiful spot
in America or in the world for that
. matter. Views from Jefferson Rock,
Storer College campus, Bolivar Heights
and from the Appalachian Trail above
the railroad tunnel are unsurpassed
in this area.
1t would be fitting, in developing this
national monument, where three States
meet, that adequate attention be given

Early Days of Income Tax

Richard L. Feldman's letter lament
ing the income tax will evoke wide
spread response, but to be historically
accurate, about 1916" was not the in
ception of this opprobrious levy.
The income tax was instituted after
the War Between the States and the
Democratic leader, Samuel Tilden, was
one of its conspicuous victims. After
Tilden had been elected President
but counted out by a shoddy maneu-
yer in the electoral college, the tri-
umphant Hayesites were apparently
fearful of Tildens election at the next
national balloting. They brought suit
against Tilden for income tax reput-
eddy derived from his success in gold
mining at Dahlonega, Ga. Tilden won
the case. but the administration
dragged it through the courts for years,
smearing Tilden. OCCUPYING his atten-

THE power to tax is the power to

The real damage caused by the Fed
eral income tax has been to the con-
ception of the American system as a
union of States. With taxes collected
in great part from Washington, the
States shrink to hollow shells, without
real power. helpless before an all-power-
full central government, that collects
taxes and hands out Iargesse where
needed for the perpetuation of the
monolithic state that America has

The Greet Outdoors

The Star recently carried the heart
ening news that television is causing
more people to read books. District
Librarian Harry N. Peterson reported
that following a program on which a
= book is discussed, the demand for that
book jumps. He said that use of public
library facilities, locally and nationally,
is growing"
It is more difficult to determine the
influence of television on the habits of
people in the field of programs dealing
with outdoor sports and recreation,
nature subjects and outdoor living. No
statistics are available.
Nevertheless, impressive evidence has
piled up indicating that television may
already have produced far-hung and
drastic changes in desires and habits
of our people,, city jewellers in particu-
lar, in seeking the outdoors as a pri-
mary source of relaxation and recrea-
ton.
The explanation would seem to be
that television is capable of bringing
outdoors indoors. 1t opens up an
entirely new understanding and feeling
for the outdoors by millions of people
to whom fields and woods, birds and
trees, wild flowers, fish and wildlife, and
angling and hunting, have heretofore
been unknown.
The impact is seen clearly in the ire
mendouS rush to the outdoors by in
creasing tens of thousands and millions
of city jewellers. Rejecting this fact is
the recent statement by the National
Audubon Society that after 81 years
the formal of its magazine is being
changed, responsive to the "phenome-
nal growth in the interest of the general
public in the out-of doors"
The impact is again seen in the in
crease of 1,101, 1877 freSh-water fishing
licenses in 1852 over 1851. for a new
total of 17,127,896 Hunting licenses
rose to 13,902,428, an increase of
1,241,4 35 over 1851.
It would be tragic in face of this
demand to permit curtailment or
diminution of our limited existing
resources.
Instead these resources must be ex-
panded and improved by every means
possible. We refer particularly to the
C. & o. Canal. now threatened with
the construction Of highway. Clean
ing up of the Potomac River is similarly
urgently required. Areas embracing
woods, fields and streams are desper-
ately needed in Prince Georges. Mont
gomery and Arlington Counties. Park
ways destructive of Rock Creek and
Glover Parks must be stopped.

Situation in Iran

Your editorial Dictator MoSSadegh ,
July %, concerning the recent events in
Iran and an alleged accusation of die
read with surprise and regret. Along
with the above accusation, some degree
of inaccuracy was also observed.
You contend that, "Paralyzed by Sc
designations in protest at the high
handedness of Premier Mossadegh, the
Mails finally has been officially dis
solved =" First, would like to point
out that the Mails has not been dis
solved and that the deputies who have
resigned are DR.. Mossadegh's support
ers, who have taken this measure in
protest against the behavior of his OPP
ponents. If you study the more accu-
rate reports from Iran, you will find that
DR.. MoSSadegh has expressed an intent
to appeal to the people and request that
through referendum-the people
express their will as to whether the
Mails should continue to be in exist
ence and/or whether he, DR.. Mossadegh,
should continue as Premier of Iran.
Would you, in all sincerity, consider
such an act as dictatorship?
In another place you say, "These
have been sorry months indeed for a
country that is richly endowed in natu-
raj resources and proud in heritage"
On what basis you have made this
statement is not clear to me. The last
two and one-half years represent for
Iran period of great national and spir-
itual achievement. The nation has en-
gagged in fight to free itself from the
shackles of imperialism, and any sorry
state has been caused directly by the
unfair actions of a foreign imperialiSt
power.
Further you state, eft is tragic irony
that while a country moves steadily
toward self-destruction 1t is also, as a
tempting prize of communism, leopard
izing the entire area of the Near East
and creating an increasing threat to
the peace of the world" It is through
an illegal blockade of Iranian oil that
Iranian economy has been under a
Squeeze" and the necessary reforms
demanded by the people and planned
by the government have not been put
into practice-thuS bringing about the
danger of subversive activities leopard
izing the welfare of the country. No
one interested in the well-being and
security of the whole Near East should
suggest that the countries Of that region
surrender to the unlawful demands of
foreign power. This security can only
be achieved through the recognition of
the peoples national aspirations.
I would also like to call your atten-
ton to the fact that this sort of name
callinge-specially by an important
a premier who has always relied upon
his popular support can not achieve any
useful purpose. On the contrary, it will
only serve to injure the emotions of
proud people fighting for their very
existence as a sovereign state among
the community of free nations.

Satisfy your youngsters yen for
sweets with ice cream. Dairy pro-
ducts are extra good for growing
boys and girls, and they'll go for
special ice cream treats in big
way, says Janet L. Coblentz, nutri-
ZIONIST, University of Maryland
Extension Service.
Miss Coblentz points out that the
calcium of ice cream is as well
used by the body as the calcium of
milk. In fact, just 1/3 pint of
vanilla ice cream is about equal
to " cup of whole milk in calcium,
protein, and the B-vitamins. 1t
equals more than one cup of milk
in vitamin A and calories.
Use little Imagination in serv-
ing ice cream, suggests Miss
Coblentz. For example, try a
crunchy ice cream pie. Here's how
to make it: Melt l package of
semi-sweet chocolate pieces in a
double boiler with tablespoons
butter. Stir in 21a cups of crisp
rice cereal. Then press the mixture
to the bottom and sides of a 0 inch
pie plate. When it's firm, fill with
4 pint of the ice cream of your
choice. Sprinkle with unsweetened
chocolate. q
Or you might quench your
youngsters thirst with banana
milk shake. Slice bananas into
