Red Czech Protest
On Balloon Messages
Dismissed by u. 5.

The United States has told the
Communist government of Czech
oslovakia that the best way for
it to keep from being bothered
by freedom" balloons is to open
up the Iron Curtain.
This was the essence of a for
NAL note sent by the State De-
partment yesterday to the Czechs
in reply to their protest on July
20 against the release of balloons
over Czechoslovakia by the Cru
SADIE for Freedom.
The CzechS had complained
that the balloons contained in
citing leaflets aimed at "dis-
quieting" the population.
In reply. the State Depart
ment said the balloons were
released for the purpose of COM
municating with the people OF
CzechoSlovakia. Use of such a
means of communication con-
firms that the Czech government
has created a barrier against
outside information, it said.
The best assurance against
such balloons as means of COM
munication is to obviate the
need for such an unusual method
by permitting natural, free ex-
change of information and ideas,
the note added.
The leaflets carried in the
balloons, the note said, contained
merely information on current
developments in Europe and
statements about freedom. The
note said the Czech government
should not be worried about such
mention of freedom if it were
not now especially concerned
about the attitude of the Czech
people toward the absence OF
freedom there.

Taft Warmed Up Only to Issues
Senote's Mr. Republican, Had Many Political Opponents,
But No Enemies, for 1t Was impossible to Hate Him

whirl them around" He did it
but only after he said Where
is Martha? (Mrs. Taft. who is
an invalid in a wheelchair)
Take care of her."
There is no doubt that he
felt keenly his defeat last year.
He took it like the gentleman
he was. He got over the in
evitable bitterness which fol-
lows defeat. and when told,
while he was resting in Can
ada, that a Republican victory
was by no means certain. he
rushed into the political battle
and did his utmost to help
elect Gen. Eisenhower.
Senator Taft had only one
resentment which he must
have carried to his grave: The
fact that some of Eisenhower's
supporters had accused him of
trying to get the Texas and
Louisiana delegations by fraud.
In the heat of political battles
Senator Taft had been accused
of many things, but never
throughout his life had he
been accused even by implica-
ton of such unethical be-
havior.
It was only in recent months
that Senator Taft changed his
status from one of the Senate's
most respected members to one
of the most loved Senators.
Since his defeat at the con-
vention he had mellowed con-
Siderably. Having set aside all
ideas of running again for the
presidency, he had begun to
really enjoy life, including
many of the sometimes medi-
ocre jokes of his colleagues.
Senator Taft was an able
debater on the floor of the
Senate and could send out
stinging darts. He had many
political opponents but never
any enemies. It was easy to
disagree with Bob Taft but i'm
possible to dislike or hate him.

Baltimore Fights Entry
Of Negro Girls in School
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE. Aug. 1.-Attor-
neys for the city yesterday re-
piled to a suit which seeks to
compel the admission of Negro
girls to the all-white Western
High School next month by
arguing that Douglass Junior
Senior High for Negro Girls is
just as good.
The reply was filed in behalf
of the School Board and other
school officials. The suit was
brought by the Redress Commit
tee of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The city's lawyers argued that
the city's segregation code is
not in conflict with the consti-
tutional rights of Negroes be-
cause equal facilities are offered
to them.
The NAACP group had COM
planned that Douglass is inferior.

Senator Taft had only a few
Of the outward characteristics
of the professional politician.
He was the opposite of the
back Slapper and that lack of
professional knack frequently
showed up in loss of votes.
Senator Taft was considered
by those who knew him only
slightly as a distant man who
could never warm up to any

that the distant Taft" was
shy and absent-minded. These
factors can affect seriously a

Smith Motion Defeated.
BY a 6-to-5 vote, the commit
tee defeated a motion by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat Of
Virginia, aimed at preventing
departments and agencies from
spending more than estimated
revenues within a fiscal year.
Both on the House floor and
before the Rules Committee, Mr..
Reed described himself as re
luctant petitioner" in behalf of
the Presidents plea for an in
crease in the borrowing author
ity of the Treasury.
But he declared that the Gov
ernment fiscal officials had pre-
sented a convincing case and
that failure to lift the debt CELL
ing would "endanger the credit
and character of this Govern
ment that has taken a position
of leadership in the world"
"It is no argument to say that
we never should have gotten into
this mess of deficits and spend
ing" he said. I'VE must face a
fact. Raising the debt limit will
not be an invitation to loose
spending. Failure to raise it
might have bad effects through
out the world. The Government
owes more money than all other
countries of the world combined.
Their total debt is about $207.5
billion and ours is close to $275
billion"

Druggist Challenges
Revocation Threat

A District druggist will ask the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia Monday to
prevent the Board of Pharmacy
of the District from revoking his
license.
The board, earlier this month,
asked Albert Feldman of the
Calvert Chemists at 2315 Calvert
street NV. to show cause why
his license should not be re-
voked. The board set a hearing
on the case which has since been
postponed.
The board charges that Mr..
Feldman is of an immoral char
acter" because he allegedly filled
a number of prescriptions in
March, 1851, with vitamin pills
instead of cortisone tablets.
The druggist was tried on the
same charge in 1851 in Federal
Court and after pleading nolo
contendere was fined $500 and
given a suspended sentence of
one year. Judge Bolitha j. Laws,
in a memorandum opinion on
the case, stated: "the court
does not find intentional wrong
doing or any moral turpitude
on the defendants part but is
dealing only with an uncontested
charge of culpability. -"
Though the Board of Pharm-
acy has refused to renew licenses
in some cases, the Feldman case
marks the first time in SO years
the board has ordered a druggist
to show cause why his license
should not be revoked. according
to a spokesman for the Board.

was painfully "in the clouds"
In the New Hampshire pri-

covered hundreds of miles

and shaking hands absent
mindedly.
One day he and half a dozen
members of his campaign staff
stopped at coffee shop on the
highway. It was cold and
rainy. There were no other
customers in the shop when
the Taft party entered. The
mattresses were thrilled to
serve "Mr. Republican" who
might be the next President of

rushed to the table expecting
little chat. Instead Senator
Taft said, Coffee, please;

promptly became engrossed in

Dispute RACES over
Naming Rasmussen
To University Post

Rasmussen, Anchorage banker, for
the University, of Alaska Board
Of Regents because of Republican
legislators suspicion he might
support Gov. Gruening for the
university presidency overshad-
owed other action of quiet leg
islative day Monday.
A statement issued by the Third
Division Republican legislators
lauded Rasmussen personally but
said the legislators couldn't sup
port an appointee "who is, or
might be, pledged to support a
person believed not to be quail
fed" for the university presi-
dency.
Gov. Gruening commented, Il
can only say what I have said
before: l have not applied for the
university presidency and I shall
not make application"
Rasmussen said earlier, in the
first exchange Of wires with leg
islators, "The fabricators of your
so-called rumor know it is false
and designed for political confu-
sion"
He declared an advance COM
mitment on what he might do
after reappointment as regent
would drag the university into
politics"
Republican legislators said, to
the contrary, they wanted to keep
the university out of politics. The
legislators statement said:
Republican legislators of the
Third Division feel Elmer Rasmu-
son is one Of the most highly quail
flied men in Alaska for the Board
of Regents. They were in unani-
nous accord in the desire to con-
firm his appointment.
1T was in good faith that the
legislators of the Third Division
advised Mr.. Rasmussen of their
unanimous support for his APP
pointment, and it was with the
thought Of keeping politics wholly
out of the university that he was
advised of the rumors regarding
his support of Gov. Gruening. 1t
was felt politics would certainly
be interjected into the university
administration by the appoint
ment as president of such a con-
troversial political figure as Gov.
