Mr.. Edison left "the course of treat

Featured in The Star for August 27,
1908, was a cable from Berlin. telling
how: "Dr. Schwartz,
Doctor Killed manager of the state sick
in Duel insurance hospital at
MulhauSen, Alsace-Lor-
raine, killed DR.. Schloss, who was the
leader of a strike movement on the
part of outdoor relief physicians" The
surviving principal and the seconds
tried to conceal the fact that the two
men had met in a duel, attributing DR.
SchloSS' death to blood poisoning; but
"the police took possession of the BODY
as it was about to be cremated at Gotha
and the arrest of DR.. Schwartz fol-
lowed" A controversy between the
management of the national sick in
Surance funds and several thousands of
physicians employed by the free hospi-
tails or outdoor relief" lay back of the
tragedy. DR.. Schloss had represented
doctors who threatened to leave the
states service in a body unless their
compensation was increased from 712
cents visit to at least 10 cents" Like
wise, "Dr. Schloss and DR.. Schwartz

while still a youth. Later he walked
over England and much of the con-
tinent of Europe, studying the art of
gardening. On his return to America
lie travelled through the Southern
States to the same purpose. In 1851 he
settled in Washington as organizer
and general manager to the Sanitary
Commission. This was the parent of
the modern American Red Cross. Mr..
OlmSted. though crippled by lameneSs,
distinguished himself by his arduouS
!abors behind the battle lines until ill
health compelled him to resign in 1853.
Removing to California, he was the
first president of the Yosemite Reser-
vation Commission and the de-
signer of the town Of Berkeley. He
returned East to resume the work Of
laying out Central Park in New York.
In 1874 he was called back to Wash
ington to design the grounds Of the
United States Capitol. Subsequently,
he was in charge of park developments
in Boston, Niagara Falls, Montreal,
Palo Alto, Louisville, Detroit. Chicago,
Asheville and elsewhere. A social
reformer as we'll as a great artist, Mr..
Olmsted was fortunate in having his
son, bearing the same name. and other
close associates of his own training to
carry on his ideals in practical applica-

Soqumore Hill q Shrine

The impact of Theodore Roosevelt upon his
country did not cease to be a constructive force
when he died in 1919. It is natural develop
ment, then, that his home at Sycamore Hill in
oyster Bay, Long Island, should be taken over
by the Theodore Roosevelt Association, restored
and preserved as public property and charge.
President Eisenhower and former President
Hoover shared in the opening ceremony in June.
Thousands of people have visited the place since
then, and there are many indications that it
long may continue to be popular shrine.
Practically every square inch of the old
house is marked with T. RS compelling in
f1uence. The drawing room was supposed to
be sacred to his kindly and gracious wife, the
former Edith Kermit Carow, who came to
Sycamore Hill as a bride in 1887; but even
there the famous apostle of "the strenuous
life" made himself felt He remains a visible
power throughout all the rest of the 23-unit
mansion. 1t is easy to trace his career by way
of the relics and souvenirs which he kept. His
hunting trophies are on dozens of walls. A
silk spread presented by the Dowager Empress
of China is on his bed prayer book and
Bible on his night table. The library contains
the chair he used at the White House. Signs
of his interest in literature are numerous all
over the building, and the same may be said of
his interest in art. The nursery proves his de-
votion to his children.
OF course, the whole establishment mirrors
"the horse-and-buggy age" Much of it would
be rejected without apology by modernist dec
orators. But Sycamore Hill is a home of the
period, and a great familys home at that. It
keeps alive an era well worth remembering
and illustrates principles of patriotism, cul-
ture and mental and physical health well
worth conscious and purposeful emulation
Theodore Roosevelt could have no better monu-
ment and certainly would want none.

Another Worninq

Although there was no elaboration, Andrei
VishinSky last week again served notice that
the forthcoming political conference is not
going to result in the unifcation of Korea.
He put it this way; The slogan reunifica-
ton of Korea is nothing but call for more
war" This Is briefer, and also blunter, than
the warning expressed in his speech at the
United Nations meeting several days ago. The
two add up, however, to the same thing-a
Communist notification that all the hopeful
talk about free and united Korea supposedly
the objective of the U. N, is pipe dream.
Perhaps no one on the U. N. side has ever
really believed that the Communists would
agree to the unif1cation of Korea under
freely chosen government. But that is the
Inducement that was held out to encourage

Tolls in METROPOLITAN Areo2

Toll roads and bridges have their places in
the national highway picture but there will be
plenty of opposition to any proposal for exact
ing Tolls from motorists in the Washington
Metropolitan Area Yet some serious studies
are being made of the feasibility and desirability
of making at least part of the projected belt
highway around Washington -before-you-
go enterprise. A question raised by these
studies is whether the charging of tolls on such
circumferential road would not discourage its
use by many motorists who otherwise would
take advantage of the bypass. The purpose of
the belt highway is to encourage motorists to
avoid entering the congeSted districts thereby re-
ievlng present street and bridge bottleneckS
No move should be made that would tend to
defeat that purpose.
The problem of financing the belt highway
And other traff1c-relief projects in the Wash
ington area admittedly Is tough one for all
jurisdictions involved. There have been pro-
poSalS in Congress that the Federal Govern
ment bear all or a major part of the cost of
such road, but they have encountered oppos-
ton on the ground that the District Maryland
and Virginia stand to share the chief benefits
Of the plan The past General Assembly in Vir-
ginia ordered a study of the whole problem of
developing new roads and bridges in the vicinity
of Washington, with special attention to the
way Commission has revealed that the toll idea
has been considered in relation to that part
of the belt highway that would pass through
Fairfax County. The Maryland State Roads
Commission meanwhile is joining with Virginia
authorities in weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of toll bridge in the Cabin John
region to link the western fork of the Wash
ington National Pike (Route 240) with Virginia
arc of the belt road. This arc would curve
from the proposed bridge on the upper stretch
OF the Potomac River to the Shirley Highway
and thence to the much-discuSsed Alexandria
Jones Point bridge From the latter point the
belt would stretch through Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties back to Route 240.
Toll roads have proved highly successful as
expreSSWayS in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
other States. Toll bridges have proved justified
where there are no nearby free bridges to
furnish competition But to charge tolls on the
belt highway around Washington is another
matter involving not only questions of eco
nomicS but of national policy. Certainly the
toll method of financing highway and bridge
projects that are parts of the approach system
to the Nations Capital should be adopted only
as a last resort.

Communist Lawyers

The proposal to disbar Communist lawyers
solely because they are Communists deserves
more careful consideration than it seems to
have received.
This proposal emerges from a resolution
adopted unanimously and without debate by
the House of Delegates of the American Bar
Association. There is some doubt as to pre-
cisely what practical effect adoption of the
resolution will have, but there seems to be no
question that the intent is to make the fact of
Communist affliation ground for disbarment
Presumably, the premise is that member
ship in the Communist Party is incompatible
with the oath lawyer takes to support the
Constitution of the United States. And on
the face of the matter there is substance to
this point
There is the further fact, however, that it
is not unlawful to belong to the Communist
Party. Mere membership, as distinguished
from conspiratorial activity of the sort that is
banned by the Smith Act, is not an offense
in the legal sense. Furthermore although
there have been numerous moves to outlaw
the Communist Party in this country, they
have always been successfully opposed on the
ground that such action would be unwise, alien
to our traditions of freedom, and probably
unconstitutional.
So the question really is whether a lawyer
should be subjected to the severe penalty of
diSbarment for doing something that is sane
toned by our laws. A Communist lawyer, if he
could get the votes. could take the oath to
support the Constitution and serve in the Con-
gress What is the essential distinction be-
tween service in Congress and membership in
the bar? To say the least, the bar associa-
tion's proposal is one which stirs deep mis-
giving There is something about the sug
gestion that man may be penalized for doing
a lawful act which should cause all of us to
stop and think before plunging ahead.

Pedestrian Trop?

I wish to second the complaint of
Henry c. Morris concerning the danger
to pedestrians at Dupont Circle. AS
Mr.. Morris notes, a pedestrian who
relies on the walk" sign is likely to
be run down. Evidently, the red light,
which should stop motorists while
pedestrians walk, is not seen, or is ig-
nored. Much experience has taught me
to govern my crossing by my own judg-
ment Of the traffic situation, and not
by the signals. fully expect, however,
to see an accident some day, for there
are pedestrians who take walk" signals
seriously.
