Fenwick Launches
Whir|wind Motor
Tour Of 4th District
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent

APPOMATTOX, Va, May 25.
"A new technique in campaigns
ing for Virginia's gubernatorial
nomination was launched by
State Senator Charles R. Fem
wick today with a grueling 5O9-
mile tour of the 4th Congress
sional District aided by two
sound-equipped cars.
The candidate was due to stop
at Appomattix, scene of Lees
surrender to Grant, in a whirl-
wind drive for a Democratic pri-
mary victory July IA.
In one sense, Mr.. Fenwick.
whose home is in East Falls
Church, was in home territory in
the 4th District. He owns farm
on the James River, near the viii
lage of Columbia in Cumberland
County.
IL Stops Listed Today.
But the Districts own member
OF Congress, Representative Abb
bitt, is actively backing Mr.. Fen.
wick's opponent. former Repre-
sentative Thomas B. Stanley of
the neighboring fifth district.
After spending last night at his
farm James View, Mr.. Fenwick's
party started rolling on the
tightly timed schedule before 8
am. There were 18 stops listed
for today: Is more tomorrow and
9 Wednesday ending at 1:l5 pm.
in Surry.
The first stop this morning was
at the hamlet of Arvonia. A
sound-equipped station wagon
broadcasting martial music,
stopped in front of a village store
and heralded the candidates ar
rival.
Strikes Hard at Opponent.
About 10 minutes later Mr..
Fenwick's own car, with newly
installed loudspeakerS pointing
fore and aft, hove into sight. The
Arlington legislator got out and
commenced his handShaking and
speech making routine.
The lead car, meanwhile, had
pulled out for New Canton, 10
miles further down Route Is for
repeat of the relay process.
In his curbstone opinions and
speeches on village greens, Mr..
Fenwick struck hard at his op-
ponent for being satisfied with
conditions as they are"
The candidate emphasized
that he was not satisfied and
that he had a plan to draw in
dustries into communities where
the people need them.
Fenwick Explains Platform.
The candidate told his listen
erS that his opponents position
had been made clear when the
two spoke in Richmond last
Thursday. At that time, Mr..
Stanley said:
MY program to advance the
Virginia economy calls for a con-
tlnuance of this industrial and
economic progress and I propose
to continue it with the same
methods and the same formula
which have brought Virginia
such tremendous progress. :"
Mr.. Fenwick asked his South
side Virginia audience, Are you
satisfied with conditions as they
are?"
The candidate reiterated that
his program would not change
Virginia from a basically agricul-
tural to an industrial State.
Aiding the candidate on his
whistle-stop tour are three mem
bers of the Arlington Democratic
Executive Committee, Leonard o.
Hilder, chairman; Joseph c. Cole
and Miles Spence Bray, and Hal
Baker, office manager Of State
campaign headquarters in East

Miracle at Union Station

The surprise and disappointment with
which arriving inaugural visitors noted the
absence of any wreckage at Union Station con-
Stituted real tribute to the remarkable eff
cheney of the railroad cleanup crews. Travellers
had seen in their newspapers or on televiSion
screens the devastation wrought in the con-
course by the runaway Pennsylvania express
train last Thursday. They had expected to see
with their own eyes the unusual spectacle-a
sort of added attraction of Washington's
quadrennial big show. Somehow, many of them
felt cheated.
It was hard to believe that such major
Transformation could have been achieved at the
terminal in so short time. Last Thursday
morning the concourse had been a scene of
utter confusion and destruction. giant loco
motive and several of its cars had crashed
through the floor of the concourse, wrecking
everything in their path and coming to rest
on a lower level. Over the week end a veritable
miracle of reconstruction and repair had been
achieved by engineers and laborers who had
worked around the clock With the aid of
some Government cranes, railroad and terminal
personnel soon had cleared away the wrecked
cars-leaving the heavy locomotive in the base
ment for later remoyal-and had covered over
the jagged hole with a temporary but sub
stantial floor of asphalt. Even the wrecked
stationmaster's Office and newsstand had been
restored and placed in operation, as though
nothing had happened 1t was fine demon
stration of American skill, improvisation and
teamwork-however disappointing the product

Rescue Leagues Form

heartily indorSe the conclusions ex-
pressed in M. L. WIS letter under date
OF January 4. concerning the modus
operandi of the Animal Rescue League.
BY all means, let its name be changed!
This was my experience with the
organization. About noon one Friday,
a well-groomed, tagless terrier appeared
in the public building where I was
employed, and deposited himself in the
middle of busy corridor. where he re-
manned hour after hour, showing no
response whatever to the overtures of
numerous interested paSsers-by. AS the
afternoon waned, my concern for the
little animal increased. He appeared to
be i'll or lost and exhausted, and the
building would soon be closed for the
week end. telephoned the Animal
Rescue League. When its truck arrived
the driver presented for my signature
form which, among other things,
authorized the destruction of the ami
NAL being received. I explained why
it would not be possible for me to sign
form containing such an authorize
ton. The driver then refused to accept
the dog.
The story ended happily dor me. at
least). AS I stood there contemplating
the departing "rescuer," the little dog
galvanized into action, darted out of
the building into the surrounding park,
where he was soon out of sight.

This and I hat .

Not all booklovers will approve Of
Templeton Jones' way Of reading his
Christmas books
He reads a chapter or two in one,
then chapter in another, and so on
down the line.
This gives him chummy acquaint-
ance, at least, with more books than
he could thoroughly digest in a given
time.
Not that Jones would use such word
as digest" in relation to mental work.
He is one of these odd ones who re-
fuses to believe that thinking and
digeSting are the same.
There is another analogy that rubs
our friend the wrong way.
He does not believe that the body is
a machine.
Though he admits it has certain
characteristics that might link it with
one, the body as an entity is a mystery.
So are some machines mysteries, per-
haps but they can be analyzed down
to the idea. in the inventors mind.
and from there to their component
tubes, wheels. etc.
The body is something else. Some
have even. called it the temple Of God.

He is not bound by the idea. however.
If one of his new books strikes him
as particularly good, he goes right
ahead with it.
We believe that this is the true
readers way.
Jones is only an example, sign, an
arrow pointing the right way, on the
road to reading enjoyment.
Another bit of snobbery that the
good man rejects is that which says
that one should not read for pleasure.
Certainly" he says. "one should
read for pleasure. In the last analysis.
one always reads for pleasure. One
must read for pleasure. Pleasure is
what reading is"
Templeton Jones feels that the dam
gerous doctrine of reading for profit or
knowledge has baked many an honest
child, who somehow felt that his elders
were mistaken, as they SO often were,
when they insisted that he should not
be too elated over something he read.
The young Jones was forever putting
what he had read into practice.

Iran Oil Question

attach great weight to what you
publish and I appreciate very much
your interest in fair solution of the
oil question in Iran. /, therefore. feel
that should call to your attention the
editorial of January 13 headed "The
Alden Decision"
SO far, no report has been received
as to the actual arguments on which
the verdict of the tribunal in Alden was
based, except what has been commune
Gated by certain unfriendly English
correspondents. These reports indicate
that the Alden decision was taken on
the basis of the alleged unwillingness
on the part of Iran to pay compensa-
ton. believe your editorial was writ
ten under similar misunderstanding.
Iran has, from the very beginning,
officially accepted the obligation to pay
compensation. This was provided for
first in the naturalization law and later
confirmed in DR.. Mossadegh's state
ments in his international appearances
Gin the Security Council and in The
Hague tribunaD, as well as in official
communications to the British and
American Governments. It should.
therefore, be unbelievable that any
court would base its verdict on the al
legation that Iran was not willing to
pay compensation. Our difference with
British authorities on the point of COM
pensation has only been in the method
of determining compensation. Iran has
been willing to submit to any method of
compensation which shall be based on
accepted legal practices.
AS for the attitude of American
courts toward possible legal action
against the sale of Iranian oil, I am glad
to quote statement by the law firm of
Davis, Polk, Wardwell, Sunderland &
Kiendl Of New York:
'You have asked me to consider the
status before American courts of pur-
chaser of oil from the Iranian govern
ment. think the following conclusions
are justified by the decisions of our
courts up to this time:
al. Under international law sover-
eign state. in this case the state of Iran,
has the absolute right to appropriate or
nationalize property within its territory.
Where the act is that of a recognized
government performed by one of its
agents, our courts will not inquire into
the validity of the act under the munic-
ipal law of the expropriating state or
under international law.
'2. Where the executive branch of
our Government refuses to recognize
the expropriating state or its acts as
valid, our courts will follow the decision
of the Executive.
"S. Absent such diSapproval by the
Executive, which is to say the State De-
partment. no recovery can be, had in
American courts against a purchaser Of

The 1889 law, which applies only to
Secretaries of the Treasury, was resur-

President Harding named Mellon

of Senators trained their guns on
Melons "big business connections.
One Of them, Kenneth McKellar of
Tennessee, led an attempt to declare
him disqualified under the old law.

Whut About the Fothers?

Your January 10 edition quotes John
P. Gray, foreman of Baltimore grand
jury. as saying that, in cases involving
mothers of illegitimate children, "some
punishment should be devised to make
her aware of the seriousness of her
offense against morality and society"
Since there are no illegitimate babies
without illegitimate fathers, one won
ders what punishment is being "de-
vised" for these illegitimate fathers by
the jury which is probably composed,
largely, of men. Society itself Furnishes
in dozens Of ways ynese unfortunate
girls, who are often the victims of
human wolves, who do not even con-
tribute to the support of their illegit-
innate offspring.
How often the unfortunate mother
is the product of wretched environ

SNUG and complacent society, in which
we all share the responsibility and
guilt.
