Goldwyn expressed the temper Of our
times when he once whimsically re-
marked that he wanted "a film which
begins with an earthquake, and works up
to climax" In the eyes of our age all
climaxes are in the realm Of the ply
sically colossal. The cult Of the jumbo
has been sitting firmly in the saddle Of
business and government. A more ac-
curate inscription for our coins than In
God we trust" would be, I'm size we
trust-bigger and bigger" But the plain
fact Is that duality has not kept up in
the race with quantity.
From toys to household salesmanship.
and to houses themselves, Shoddy is a

teriStic of products in which pride Of
material and of workmanship has dis
appeared and which fall apart with the
slightest use. In mass production, while
expanding factories are crying Big

sham Bigger" needs to be joined to
Better! In national and international
concerns we deal now in astronomical
conceptions. But these huge plans are
doomed to failure without men and
women Of ethical stature to project them
and to furnish the moral foundations for
proposed skyscraper edifices Of social
welfare. Such only furnish the shining
virtues Of integrity which are "the strong
nails that hold the world together" AS

Curbstone Analyst

With the election we'll past, no colum-
mist or editorial writer other than Doro-
thy Thompson has commented on the
big influence that the Fair Employment
Practices Commission had in the land
slide. In my opinion and analysis of the
vote, Eisenhower's indefinite stand on
FEPC was the biggest single factor in his
receiving SIS per cent of the vote. Most
people believed that he was not for
FEPC whereas Stevenson indorsed the
Truman. Humphrey plan 100 per cent.
This caused voters, especially in the
South, to swing to Ike. Votes for Con-
gressmen and State officers in the South
ern States were as strongly Democratic
as ever.
Some people evidently believed that
Eisenhower would help the Korean police
action by relnstating Macarthur as chief
of police. but this was secondary fac
tor as shown by the much bigger shift in
voting in the South, as compared with
the North and West where FEPC Is not
so paramount.
The election returns realistically
showed the United States to be against
integration Of the races.

How Virginia Is Saving Lives

There must be a reason for Virginia's en-
eouraging decline in traffic deaths this year
the first reversal of the upward trend that has
occurred in that State for the past five years.
One does not have to search very far to find
at least one probable reason For it is certainly
more than just coincidence that the drop in
serious accidents occurred in a year that was
marked by an unprecedented breakdown on
reckless drivers. -
Last year 900 men, women and children were
killed on the States highways The slaughter
stirred Governor Battle to call series OF
conferences with magistrates and prosecutors
throughout the State to impress them with the
gravity of the traffic problem and the necessity
for stern enforcement of traffic laws. The Gov
ernor also urged the General Assembly to
tighten up on traffic laws, especially those
against speeders and other reckless drivers.
The Assembly responded by passing a number
Of trafic-safety bills, among them one which
authorizes suspension of a motorists license for
two convictions of speeding within year. Sew
eral hundred permits already have been taken
away from drivers under this new provision. In
addition, many judges have adopted the policy
of giving heavier penalties for serious infrac-
tions, with more jail sentences being handed out
than in the past.
As arrests and sentences rose in number
and severity, the number of deaths and injuries
on the highways has fallen behind last years
alarming totals. Barring an unforeseen year-end
wave of accidents, Virginia will complete the

Treasury in Bod Shape

A most timely and appropriate sug-
gestion made recently in letter to The
Star was that the exterior of the Treas
ury should be cleaned Of the accumu-
lated exterior CRIME and filth that now
disf1gures the grandest, most monu-
mental Government Office building in
the classic style, in all the world. This
magnificent structure probably has not
been cleaned during the past 80 years or
more. Directly facing the Treasury are
two great banks. whose exteriors have
recently been made immaculate by
scrubbing. They, too, are built Of en-
during dressed granite, and express
the management's pride in their monu-
mental design and construction, as well
as commendable civic pride in the
Capital of America and the financial
capital Of the world
It is interesting to recall that the
earliest portions Of the Treasury were
designed by Robert Mills. great archi-
tect-artist whose superlative statue OF
Andrew jackson in Lafayette Park ex-
presses SO adequately the tremendous
energy of this true Man on Horseback"
who wrested victory out of defeat for
the young American Republic in 1814-15
and expelled the British from the
Mississippi Valley.
Unfortunately, Aqua Creek sand
stone was used for the original exterior
walls of the Treasury. that is, the first
built section. This stone, warm in color
and easy to cut and carve, did not stand
up in our variable Washington winter
climate and had to be replaced. The
Treasury now stands as the most mag
niflcent example Of great, useful
structure, designed in the Ionic order.

a great earthquake or an atomic bomb,
will endure thousands of years. Indeed,
the prototype of the Treasury, archi-
tecturally, is the famous little Erecthean
in Athens, Greece, now about $500
years of age That exquisite little temple
has always given pleasure to all who
have an eye for graceful, perfect pro-
portions. The same can be said also
of all who look appraisingly at the
Treasury. How unfortunate, therefore,
that this wonderful monument should
be allowed to continue in filthy. dingy

LynchIess Year

The Tuskegee Institute has announced that
there were no lynchings in the United States in
1952-the first unblemished year in half a
century.
This highly gratifying record, climaxing the
downward trend of lynchings in recent years,
should be an effective answer to the political
clamor for Federal anti-lynch law. For it
demonstrates that the people in the States can
deal with this kind of problem when they set
their minds to it.
But it probably is too much to expect that
the 1852 performance will still the clamor for
Federal Intervention. AS a matter Of fact, Sena-
tor Ferguson announced-two days after the
release of the Tuskegee report-that he intends
to resubmit his anti-lynch bill to the new
Congress.

Spires Of the Spirit
Biqqer or Better

This is the two-faced month. The
first 81 days in the new year carry the
name of the Roman god Janus, the
ancient deity represented as having a
double countenance. To the Romans,
this god whose image was set up in the
Forum was pre-eminently the god of be-
ginnings Thus it seemed appropriate
to baptize the first month of the calen-
dar with the name January.
Without suggesting the usual conno-
tation of double-talk, we may neverthe-
less think Of the Janus god as uttering
two different words. both of which need
to be proclaimed For truth. like coin,
always has two sides which are not con-
Trajectory, but complementary. For in
stance. let us imagine that one set of
Janus lips is emphasizing toll, and that
the other set is insisting on rest. Now.
while work needs to be glorified with
the ringing insistence of Thomas Car
lyle. another voice ought to be heard re-
minding us that all work and no play
turns toll into drudgery. This, Of course,
is the philosophy Of holidays. Then,
again. we hear the Janus-faced god of
life exalt the Importance Of activity and
Of utterance. But life becomes empty
and superficial unless other lips stress
the necessity for receptivity, for qui-
etude. for meditation.
No life can be wealthy without listen
ing to voices heard only in the silences
OF the soul. And If. in our ambitious,
aspiring. adventuring life, one voice
urges us constantly to bigger things,
another word from other lips Is urgently
needed. spurring on to better things.
Who can doubt that the word which
needs to be amplified and magnif1ed in
this new year of our Lord is better?
The idea OF the bigger has largely mon
opolized the last half century. Magni-
tude has become almost mania.
One of the most subtle temptations of
this inventive day is to confuse bulk with
greatness. The worship Of bigness has
come near challenging the First Com
mandment: Thou shalt have no other
gods before me-" Watch us grow" has
been national slogan for towns and
institutions. A keen observer OF Amer
lean trends, commenting on the tyranny
OF bigness, pictures this religion of guam
tity crossing itself in the presence of the
biggest. bowling down in blind devotion
to mere expansion and in loyalty refrain
ing from questioning the value Of thing
or an institution if only it be big. Samuel

CordioIity in the Balkans

The recent exchange of military visits be-
tween Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia offers hope
that these three Balkan powers may soon work
out mutual defense alliance. While reports that
such an agreement already is at an advanced
stage have been termed premature there have
been complimentary references from all three
capitals to the receptions accorded their military
missions in the other countries.
The round of visits began about two months
ago when Yugoslav group visited Greece and
Turkey. A Greek mission made the tour IN
November and Turkish mission has been in
Yugoslava since then. A further sign of entente
cordiale was given recently when Belgrade and
Athens raised their respective diplomatic mis-
sions from ministerial to ambassadoral status.
Each of the three powers borders on the
Iron Curtain; each faces the common threat OF
Soviet aggression. Forming an arc across Asia
Minor and the Balkans, the three countries offer
q barrier-or an avenue-for Russian penetra-
ton toward the Mediterranean or the Adriatlc
Seas. Greece and Turkey are now members OF
the NATO while Yugoslavia is receiving military
assistance from the West. Estimates of troop
strength credit Turkey with about 100000 under
arms, Yugoslavia with 100000 and Greece with
about 100000.
Deeply rooted political and economic diff
ferences historically have been disrupting IN
Balkan relations. Their reconciliation is not an
easy problem even in the common defense but
the temper being displayed currently in the
three capitals indicates that serious effort Is
being made to settle upon an amicable under
standing This much is progress and the effort
deserves Western Endorsement.

The American Stock EXCHANGE

The tendency of American capital to pioneer
In new enterprises and to venture into all parts
of the world is reflected in the histories of our
security markets. market which opened nearly
100 years ago on the sidewalk at Wall and
Hanover streets in New York City has been one
of the most faithful mirrors of this phase of
American economic life.
Known then as the outdoor Curb the new
market was directed from the beginning at the
venturesome aspects of American investment
were opening in the West Investment funds to
finance their development were in great demand
but the very nature of these adventurous under
takings was such that investment was often
informal and more precarious than in the
established enterprises of the East. The Out
door Curb soon became major vehicle for this
type of investment and its contribution to the
expanding American economy was significant
one from the first.
BY the turn of the century the Curb had
become a more formalzed agency but 1t was
not until 1921 that it moved indoors for business
It had then become known as the New York Curb
Market the name being changed in 1929 to New
York Curb Exchange. Last month the member
ship voted to change the name again, to the
American Stock Exchange.
At the end of 1852, there were 703 stock
issues of GA domestic enterprises being traded
upon the exchange. Its original consideration
for the accommodation of adventurous capital
has not been lost however, and as the center for
trading of 173 issues of 152 enterprises in 20
foreign countries it ranks today as the largest
market for foreign securities in the United States

Challenge to the Senate

Senate Elections subcommittee, in report
on Senator McCarthy's financial transactions
says: This is "a matter that transcends partisan
politics and goes to the very core of the Senate
oodys authority, integrity and the respect in
Wnlcn 1t is held by the people of this country"
Senator Mccarthy has replied in this FASH
ion If what they say is true shouldn't sit in
the Senate. If what they say is true they have
deep moral obligation to bring it up. But if
they are lying they won't dare to bring it up"
This particular language may be unwar-
ranted. But the fact is that Senator Mccarthy
has been sworn in and permitted to take his seat
He was not called upon to stand aside by any
member of the reporting subcommittee, or by
any other Senator. And this poses very grave
challenge to the new Republican controlled
Senate
The subcommittee did not do the Job it
should have done. Although it had the power,
1t did not subpoena Senator Mccarthy and
compel him to answer or to refuse to answer
the implicit charges against him. The subcom-
mittee was content to extend six invitations"
all OF which the Senator from Wisconsin ignored.
Neither did the subcommittee make any recon-
mendation as to whether Senator Mccarthy
should or should not be seated although its
report, with its serious implications, would Ger
tainly have justified recommendation. Instead,
1t was content, in effect to pass the buck to the
new Republican Senate.
Since the Democratic controlled subcom-
mittee (although the report was unanimous) did
not force the issue, Republican leaders will be
tempted to keep hands of this hot potato. But
in good conscience they cannot do so. Copies
of the report have been sent to the Department
of Justice and to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
This however, is not enough. The basic question,
as Senator Mccarthy has said himself, is whether
he is fit to hold his seat. If the charges made
by implication in this report are true, Senator
Mccarthy, again as he has said himself, is not
At to serve. The new Senate as the Judge of
the qualifications of its own members, has a
clear duty to ascertain whether or not the
charges are true. It cannot evade this duty
without inviting and deserving condemnation in
the public eye.
