Conquest by the Culture Corps

The true genius of Communist leadership Is
beginning to unfold in Asia with the disclosure
OF Operation Matrimony.'
Apprehensive of the aggressive designs" of
neighboring Tibet, the government OF Red
China months ago undertook the conquest OF
the mountain kingdom. The classic Comnu-
mist strategy of Subversion and military occu-
patton was applied and an estimated $4,000
Chinese troops have been posted in the land of
lost horizons. Unfortunately, for Peiping,
neither the subverson nor the military occupa-
ton have been conSpicuouSly successful. The
Tibetans, devout BuddhiStS, have registered
supreme indifference if not antipathy to the
irreligious doctrines of communism, and the
Chinese troops have registered comparable
antipathy to being in Tibet at all.
Peiping's answer has been to call on the
culture corps" Communist Chinas equivalent
of the WACs Trained in health and welfare
work." the girl troops have been ordered into
Tibet with Instructions that the more con-
ventional aspects of spreading culture need not
be allowed to stand in the way of romance.
Aware also that the supply Of matrimonially
inclined men traditionally has been restricted
in Tibet by the male practice of entering into
the leisurely life of the lamaserieS, the Com
munist command has ordered the lamas and
monks henceforth to vary their quiet routine
with some physical labor. The thought pre-
sumably, is that if the men are going to have
to work anyway perhaps they will prefer to
work for wives rather than for spiritual
reasons
In these days of modern techniques of
war-making, and in global struggle to capture
the minds Of men, there is an intriguing quality
to q campaign Of conquest based upon love-or
some closely related emotion. A

Halloween Project.

Halloween is drawing near. Many of
us are thinking of what our children
can or will do then. Let's give them
something very worth while to do.
Are you familiar with "UnSelfiSh Beg
gars"? Some time ago I read about
them in one of my church school maga-
zines.
The idea is this: Get group to-
gether to make arm bands-white paper
will do-print "Unselfish Beggars" on
the bands and on Halloween let the
children go forth.
When a person answers the door,
bell, let the children show their arm
bands and say something like this:
Look, we are Unselfish Beggars. We
are not begging for ourselves. We are
begging for the poor little Korean chill
dren. Have you some warm clothing,
cake of soap, pencils or tablets for
them?" Have them take the articles
collected to their school or church
where they can be packed for ship
ment overseas.

The Most Interesting Book

BY proclamation of President Eisenhower
this is Bible Week-a fractional part of the
calendar year set apart for developing renewed
interest in "the most interesting book ever pub
lished" People of all churches and of none
are invited to read and to ponder "the good
news" of the Gospels as if the ancient writings
we're indeed brand-new They are asked to treat
themselves to the experience of rediscovering
the beauty and the truth of the Holy Word
Reasons why such emphasis of the Bible
should be accorded it at this time are many
and compelling The challenge of materialism
launched against the theology of the Book of
Books by the sponsors of the French Revolution
in the 18th century and repeated by the i'm
perialistic Communists of the 10Th and goth
centuries has for its object fundamental
change in civilization. What is intended Is
nothing less than the destruction of the Judaic-
Christian conception of the relation between
God and mankind. To prevent such conquest
of religion by the ruthless forces of atheism is
an obligation for every faithful believer. 1t
likewise is responsibility for all such persons
as regard themselves as agnostics or rationalists
but who, nevertheless, appreciate the historic
significance and value of the way Of life taught
in the Bible.
No better philosophy no nobler law may
be found anywhere. opened at random page,
1t is, as the Psalmist affirmed lamp and q
light for human feet on any path. Abraham
Lincoln expressed matured opinion when he
declared But for 1.-THE Bible-we could not
know right from wrong" It is an intensely
practical guide in principle if not in every de-
tail of translation. To study 1t carefully is to
cultivate new understanding of the universe.
Even to read it casually is to achieve new
approach to the mysteries beyond the mysteries
of existence.
The sponsors of Bible Week urge revitalized
comprehension of the Bible as "the peoples
book"-like its Ultimate Author "our refuge and
strength, very present help in trouble"

Oddities of Sales Tax

Some one said long time back: ITO

Supportable which is unreasonable; but
everything reasonable may be sup

and regulates all other things, it ought
not itself to be left in disorder.
The District 2 per cent tax on the
dollar is mirage. My own research
shows that a penny tax is paid in the
same store at each counter on any
article costing Is cents or over. For
example, bought one book, 19 cents,

cent-a total of cents paid on a 34-
cent purchase.

the salesgirl smiled and said, ooh, but
this is a different counter" I don't
object to paying taxes; they're a neces-
sary obligation; but I would like TO
know where the surplus money goes. Is
it into the merchants or the Districts
Golfers? If the latter, what additional
benefits do we, get?
Do the merchants pay per cent on
the whole dollar? If so it goes to them.
If not, why can't we have the surplus
used to make printed slips totaling 81,
to be torn off as purchases are made

John Taylor Arms

America lost its best etcher when John
Taylor Arms died at &c. He was beyond all
question the greatest artist in his class in the
United States in his time. Foreign critics
cheerfully acknowledged his eminence. His
works were accepted in galleries abroad as well
as at home. The honors that came to him were
earned, but they were gladly given He was
man good to know, kindly tireless in his devo-
ton to the welfare of his fellows, generous even
to the unworthy. Much of his labor went to
benefit professional groups. He was the moving
spirit of the American Society of Graphic Arts
for many years. His demonstrations and lee
lures were blessing to an army of young
students He wrote on technical themes with
notable skill and constructive effect. The net
result Of his career is an enrichment of the
whole modern field of eSthetics.

Arms affections. He was born here the son Of

Overtime Curbs Crime

Police Chief Murray's report that
Washington has had it's first reduction
in major crimes in 80 months because
of the extra appropriation for overtime
police pay, was indeed gratifying to
hear. This should be taken more to
heart by responsible citizens of the
District as it is concrete proof that at
least partial solution to the problem
of our crime-ridden city can be effected.
The dollar-ford dollar return, as
evidenced here in the investment in a
larger police force will perhaps be the
one thing to make us realize the value
of additional uniformed policemen as
first step in making this city safe
again at night. It is difficult to believe
that a relatively small monetary con-

greatest good accomplished by police
highway patrols results from these
patrols being frequently seen by large
numbers of drivers: hence strong en-
phasis should be given to assuring that
such patrols will be quickly seen and
easily identified. The uniforms of mo-
torcycle officers and the painting,
marking and lighting of patrol cars
should be such as to result in ready
recognition both day and night. The
association recognizes also there may be
justification for small number of less
conspicuous highway patrol vehicles
used for special investigation purposes"
Strict, vigorous and constant enforce
ment of highway safety measures is
basic to the prevention of accidents.
A much more powerful weapon than
the use of unmarked vehicles is sus-
pension and revocation of drivers Ii
censes. Those who will not accept
their responsibilities on the highways
must be ruled off the roads.
Harris T. Richards,
Republican Candidate for Delegate,
Fairfax County, Falls Church, Va.
In regard to your editorial, 1856
Answers" appearing october 13, must
take exception to your point of view
and commend Col. Harris richards.
I have always understood that the
main purpose of traffic patrol cars was
to prevent traffic violations. If patrol
cars are unmarked they may sneak up
on few violators and arrest them if
they are foolish enough to stop. On
the other hand, the very presence of

drive many miles alone in this area
daily and have never been arrested but
if some strange men tried to stop me
in an unmarked car, would not believe
they were, police officers and would be
very apt to try to get away from them.
In so doing I might endanger my own
and many other lives. The public
should not be placed in the compro-
missing position of making a decision
whether another person is an officer of
the law or criminal trying to stop
them for other reasons.
Unmarked police cars are no pro-
lection to me or any other women who
nave TO drive alone on our highways.
If your theory is right why not take
the uniforms off police officers on
downtown street corners?

presume that other readers join me
in feeling of shock at The Stars Oc-
tober 13 editorial favoring Virginias
policemen in plain cars.
1t is a proved traffic philosophy that
prevention is more efficient and eco
nomic than prosecution in regard to
highway accidents.
I affirm that the sight of plainly
marked police cruiser on the highway
is 1000 more effective from a safety
standpoint than the seldom noticed
situation where skulking, crafty, creep
ing cops, in an unmarked car, have
overhauled an unsuspecting, unwarned
motorist. Bill Webb.

Bishop Oman on InfiItrution

This is the second time that Bishop
Oman has been quoted in your paper
to the effect that no Protestant nation
has been inf1ltrated by communism.
The implication is, of, course, that
communism has found a fertile field
only in those areas where Catholicism
has been dominant.
How does the bishop regard or ex-
plain Communistic control over East
Germany, which is predominant
Protestant stronghold?
Was the recent abortive uprising in
East Germany against Communistic
tyranny by the Protestants ''Protes-
tant stand for free mind in free
society or against the clericalism
which has cursed other lands"-both
quote from Bishop Oxnam's address.
1t is quite likely that the Protestants
who had engaged in it would deny that
it was either one. In fact, they might
protest the bishops inept meddling
which would divide them and their
Catholic co-patriots who recently re-
turned Adenauer with such a powerful
majority. C.. v. M.
According to reports October 19 of
the address of Methodist Bishop OK
nam in Atlanta, it was a very biased
speech that he made.
The goddess clique of Communists
now seeking to destroy all faith in God
realizes that the Catholic Church is
the chief obstacle to the accomplish
ment of their devilish purpose. There
fore, the Catholic Church is receiving
and sustaining the bitterest assaults of
this satanic force. But if the bishop
implies that communism has made no
serious inf1ltration into this, our coun-
try, he is seriously at fault in refusing
to recognize the facts when they are
put before him. John A. Lacy.

safety on the highway lies in preven-
tion Violators of traffic regulations
should be apprehended and punished.
But the primary purpose of State
highway patrol is to control the flow of
traffic and prevent accidents which re-
suit in the loss of life or damage to
property.
I am not alone in maintaining that
the use of unmarked vehicles by State
highway patrols is not conducive to
highway safety. Traffic studies by rep
utable research organizations have al
ways resulted in reports that the more
and better marked the highway patrol
the fewer the accidents.
The position I take with regard to
the use of unmarked vehicles by the
Virginia State highway patrol is well
summed up in the words of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association: "The

Nursing Pay

A recent letter by Florence johnson
is q TRADE against private-duty nurses
in general, but fails to mention those
nurses who sacrifice personal interests
in line of duty. She seems to assume
that all private-duty nurses have asked
for raise to $18 a day. Actually we
OF Garfield Hospital have opposed not
only raise of Sc, but any raise at all,
and have forwarded such protests to
the Graduate Nurses Association.
And as for nurses taking simple"
cases so they can "Sit, read or Sleep"
this is absurd. We go where we are
put by the official registry, to which
requests are made by doctors or the
patients family through the hospital
nursing Office
One of the real REASONS for the nurse
shortage is that many have gone into
other work where they receive greater
remuneration, five days instead of
seven a week, and an opportunity to
have little life" of their own
something denied private-duty nurse.
Notwithstanding these sacrifices, there
are those who are grateful indeed that
an increase in pay is not forthcoming.
Elizabeth ZOmbro, r. N.

We private-duty nurses need q raise.
We get no sick leave, no vacation with

things for us.
