The controversy over Method
iSt Bishop G. Bromley Oman
of Washington has raised "seri-

DR.. Dewitt l.. Miller, minister
of the Washington City Church
of the Brethren, said when any
people cruelty their prophets,
either upon crosses of wood or
crosses of villif1cation, opprobri-
UNI and calumny, they have un-

dations Of their culture and have
condemned themselves to a god

Points Up Negativism.
The speaker deplored the fact
that "any minister should ever
have to appear before a govern
mental committee.
"The Oman affair points
up one of the un-Christian quail
tiles of our time-negativism,"
he asserted.
"If instead of being anti-Com-
munist. Senator Mccarthy. Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, could be
pro-American in the best sense
Of that word; if instead # be-
ing anti-liberal and non-co-oper-

why Cows Oppose Daylight Saving

Informal polls among residents Of the

daylight saving.

To begin with, the cows seem to feel they
fhave some things in common with residents of
the District of Columbia. Both are MIXED
periodically. Neither can vote. Somebody Is
always telling them where to 60 and what to do.
Their natural sympathieS thus lie with the
people of the District, and in voting against
daylight saving the cows asked that their
position be made quite clear. They are not
against daylight saving for the people OF the
District Of Columbia. They are against daylight
saving for the cows. "We," said the cows, work

Teamwork Against Rabies

Dr. Harold Kennedy, Fairfax County health

the need for claridcation Of the county's anti

now drawn the regulation fails to centralize
authority for control of this disease. As a
result there was little or no coordination among
official agencies in the recent case Of mad

The Board Of Supervisors should take
whatever steps are necessary to insure that all
proper authorities are enlisted promptly for

In the Week Before Easter

It is 10 years lacking few months since
Charles Dickens invented or discovered or,
anyway, reported Tiny Tim "A Christmas
Carol" was published in 1843, and Bob Cratchit'S
little boy has been famous ever since. Thou
sands of people have cared for him, very much
as his father did and for the same reason.
Tiny Tim gave affection and largely on that
account was given the same precious gift
Remember how he first appears in the story:
Perched on Bob's shoulder. Dickens pictures
him in single sentence: "He bore little
crutch and had his limbs supported by an iron
frame" Later the crutch is described as an
a"active little crutch," meaning that Tiny Tim
got around on it bravely and valiantly.
So it is with the children who come and

A Break in the Deadlock?

Through sad and bitter experience, the free
world has learned that it is never wise to take
Communist words at face value. That Is why
yesterdays Peiping- -Pyongyang message to
General Mark Clark in Tokyo must be read
with great caution. Although It seems to sug-
gest that break in the Korean truce deadlock
may be in the making, it needs to be inspected
most carefully lest the United Nations Com
mand be lured into a trap Of sorts.
With that said, however, the fact remains
that the message has at least the appearance
of being conciliatory. Replying to an offer
made by General Clark on February %. 1t
declares that "our side" (the North Korean and
Chinese Communists) "fully agrees to your
sides proposal to exchange sick and injured
prisoners Of war of both sides during the
period of hostility" Further, 1t intimates that
such an exchange could lead to a speedy and
smooth settlement of the entire question" Of
repatriating all POWs. And 1t goes on to ask
for an immediate resumption Of the long
suspended armistice talks at Panmunjom.
Although their signatures are not on 1t,
the men Of the Kremlin undoubtedly are key
parties to this message, and it may therefore
-conceivably-tha the new Russian
regime under Georgi Malenkov has decided
that the time has come for the Pyongyang-
Peiping- Moscow axis to yield to the United
Nations on the pr1Soner-of-War ISSUE That
issue is supposed to be the only one blocking
agreement on truce. Up to now the Com
munist position has been that all North Korean
and Chinese POWs, without exception must be
returned to their Red masters-driven back
with whip, gun and bayonet If necessary. On
the other hand, supported by General
Assembly vote of 54 to (the Soviet bloc alone
dissenting), the U. N. Command has firmly
and repeatedly rejected this demand for
forcible repatriation. It has done so on legal,
moral and humanitarian grounds because about
$4,000 Of the $4,000 enemy captives in its
hands are desperately afraid of being sent back
and stand ready to offer violent resistance to
any such move.
It is because Of these two opposing posi-
tions that the Panmunjom talks have been in
suspension since last fall. Meanwhile, time and
again, the U. N. has made clear that there will
be no point to resuming those talks unless and
until the Communists are prepared to accept
the principle Of voluntary repatriation Does
their message to General Clark mean that they
are now SO prepared? If they are, then it may
be that the truce deadlock can be broken in
the near future. Pending Qualification on this
point, however, the United Nations Command
will have every reason to react to their latest
maneuver with reserve, circumspection and a
"show-me" frame Of mind.

Spires Of the Spirit
A Glorious Gamble

Palm Sunday was q daring bet. No
wonder that the friends of Jesus tried
to pull Him back; to do what He was
bent on doing seemed to spell certain
suicide. He was walking into q trap
set by His enemies. Surely, to be q
cautious and even compromising
prophet was better than being q dead
one! But for Him, His faith made a
date with destiny inevitable. He knew
that the nails must pierce either His
faith or His flesh.
The pageantry Of the palms and the
ephemeral hoSannaS did not deceive
Him. He knew He was riding on to die.
He had staked His life on the belief
that truth is stronger than error, that
love is stronger than hate, that meek
ness is mightier than pride and that
life at last will conquer death. For that
faith. "He was a gambler, and took
His life and threw it for world re-
deemed"
He risked everything on the absolute
conviction that even cross could not
stop Him. AS the grim gallows Of that
day loomed nearer and nearer, He
declared with exultant confidence: II
am the truth" and "If be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men
unto me-"
And so Palm Sunday is forever the
parable of a fighting faith. There Is
really no other faith worth talking
about. We will fight to the bitter end
for anything which possesses our souls.
Where and when have men greatly
lived until they were possessed by some
convictions for which they were willing
to die? When Paul declared. "The just

BohIen Case Box Score

Charles E. Bohlen's ordeal by innuendo is
over. When the showdown came on his
nomination as Ambassador to Moscow only
13 Senators voted against him. Seventy -four
votes were cast in favor of confirmation. Seven
absent Senators announced that they would
have voted for Mr. Bohlen had they been
present. So, in summary, the box score totals
are 81 Senators for and 13 against.
This adds up to an impressive and, one
hopes, significant victory for the President,
for the responsible Republican leadership in
the Senate and for common decency.
AS the debate came to an end most Of
the dissenting Senators had hitched their
wagons to the proposition that Mr.. Bohlen
should be defeated because of his Identification
with the Yalta agreements and the Truman
Acheson foreign policy. This, in The Stars
opinion, is utterly absurd attitude. It ignores
the fact that Mr.. Bohlen, during the period in
question, was merely doing his job as Foreign
Service career man. 1t also attempts to hold
him responsible for the consequences Of Yalta
and the Truman -Acheson policies, although
there is not a shred of evidence that he had
any policy-making role in either situation.
=, Still, it is possible at least to understand
this kind of opposition. 1t is an attitude which
reflects singularly warped appraisal Of recent
history, but it would be foolish to expect that
politics and politicians will invariably conform
to ones own conception of the facts and their
proper Interpretation.
The same cannot be said of the fight made
by Senator Mccarthy, aided and abetted by
senator McCarran. Their attack was vicious
and thoroughly unprincipled Their weapons
were the familiar ones of sly hint and ugly
insinuation. Their objectives were to impeach
Mr. Bohlen'S moral character and to impugn
the integrity of the Secretary Of State.
&c With this dirtieSt, Of dirty business there
should be no compromise. And IN this instance,
thanks to the forthrightness of men like
Senators Taft, Knowland and Sparkman,s to
name but a few, there was none. They met
head-on and routed the attempt to create the
impression that there was something in the
secret FBI report on Mr.. Bohlen which, If
brought out, would diSquahfy him and show
that Secretary Dulles had deceived the Foreign
Relations Committee
No one can say with any assurance what
the long-run results of this showdown will be.
It is hardly to be expected that this one rebuff
will bring the McCarthys and the McCarrans
over to the clean side Of the street. But in
this instance, at least, an attempt at character
assassination has failed And 1t failed pri-
smarily because Republican Senator's Identified
with the party's conservative wing were too
decent to stomach it, Senator Mccarthy may
try again. But the going will be harder for
him the next time.
