our God-honoring founding fathers.
when he said:
bad men cannot make good citizens.
It is when a people forget God. that
tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated
state of morals, corrupted public
conscience is incompatible with free

This May 49, 1858, every American
should give pause and think on the
memory of Patrick Henry, a great,
courageous, indomitable and inspiring
American who was not afraid to shout
the battlecry of freedom that spanked
the founding of our American Nation.

Objects to 'Left-Winqer'

I would like to take issue with the
article by David Lawrence, Mccarthy
is Only a Side Issue"
Lawrence states that the "1eft-wing-
ers" are mostly Democrats. To him it
seems that the Democrats are the cleft
wingers." ....., ..-.
It is very unfair to those who have
an honest dislike of Mccarthy to be
called left-winger.
I for one do not like Mccarthy be-
cause do not like dirty fighting.

erred and to bring grim determination at the
Pentagon to make certain that our men hence
forward have everything they need in Korea

Strophuneers Rejoice

What welcome news your paper
brought us-that transit radio is to die
May 80. This will certainly cause great
rejoicing among those who have to ride
the streetcarS and buses after four years
Of forced listening. The riders have
enough transportation problems with
out having this noise dinned into their
ears.
I am sure the advertising did not
pay because have heard hundreds of
people say they would never buy the
products advertised so long as the tran
sit radio was forced upon them. 1t
has been one of the greatest impoSitions
ever foiSted on the public, and has
created ill will toward Capital Transit
Co.
Perhaps now we shall be able to
listen to some good programs on
WWDC-FM instead Of the stations
leasing its facilities for a purpose that
brought only annoyances to the
listeners.
Agnes Winn.
This abridgment of our liberties is
being stopped mainly by the refusal Of
the merchants to patronize such a
thing. Other contributing factors have
been the opposition of the better ele-
ments in the advertising field, the op-
position of the press, the efforts Of
the Transit Riders Association in
Washington. D. c. and the efforts of
alert citizens in all the cities where
this thing appeared.
That even shade of totalitarian
forced listening could not get started
in this country without being sup
pressed by an aroused public is an

American Women Queen Crozy'

In John Ford Lagemann's article,
Americas Queen Crazy Women" ap-
pearing recently in This Week, a grave
injustice was committed against the
women of this country.
Mr.. Lagemann states "for the first
time in our history the women of
America have found a heroine (mean-
ing Queen Elizabeth) who makes them
feel superior to men,"
This may be interpreted as a bend

Our Uttered Parks

The "City Beautiful letter May IA
expressed just indignation by the writer,
Edward Fisher, of the unSightly mess
picnickerS leave at the Zoo each Sun
day and made some suggestions for
improvement. His remarks and sug-
gestions are commendable indeed. AS
he infers, this condition prevails in all
parks, picnic grounds, circles and rest
spots.
These spots are all on most valuable
land, provided and maintained at a
tremendous expense. They are quite
necessary for promotion of health, to
freshen and provide oxygen to allay
what would otherwise be stiffling air on
hot and humid days. They afford
marvellous relaxation and recreation.
Each is a setting of beauty, education,
restfulness And so the praises could be
carried on and on. StrangeSt feature is
the ones who benefit most from them
are the worst offenders.
It is little wonder Congress reneges
on appropriating money for further
parks when the existing ones are SO
abused and deSecrated. Consider the
budget officer trying to justify mainte-
nance and improvement allotmentS. A
hard lot indeed.
Would it be possible to devise plan
to educate the children and through
them the adults? Interest the papers,
radio and Television programs, civic
bodies, churches or any others to pro-
mote a contest for children to submit
slogans or posters with an opportunity
to show them or read them in some
church or meeting or on TV, possibly
the top winner to present one TO the
President, all of them answered by
brief talk on the Importance of CO.
peration in cleanliness and health.

Militury Life Best?

It seems to me that President Eisen-
hower'S recent speech at Annapolis
mad all the earmarkS Of military snob-
berry. To suggest that Service brats"
are prouder of their fathers than for
instance the merchants children are
OF their fathers is not only fallacious
and bigoted thinking but certainly in
very poor taste for a designated leader
OF all people. Are we to teach our
children that military life is the be-all
and end-all Of living and have another
Germany OF the past? Are we to teach
them that one mans contribution to
mankind is better than another's and
therefore makes him a Special
father? Is this not q presumptuous
conclusion?
have great admiration for the serv-
ices but also for all men who are con-
tributing to the progress Of mankind
to the best Of their ability. What about
the artist, for example. who is seldom
interested in military life? It is true
that the serviceman necessarily pro-
tects and defends us, but on the other
hand, would we not become stole with
out the artist to feed our souls whether
1t be by words, music, painting or en-
tertainment. When we cease to func-
tion as human beings, only robots will
want to survive.
A child takes genuine pride (Which
is real because it is form of love) in
a father, not because of his occupation
(Which is a false sort of pride for it is
an acquired value), but because of
what the father gives of himself to
the child and if he shows the child
that he loves him without reservation.
Yes, as amazing as it may seem to
many who have lived in limited mil
itary world, one can even be "com-
moner," whether he be merchant"
Government worker, or any other kind
of civilian worker. and still be the best
Of father and have children who love
him deeply and are mighty proud of
him. Dorothy A. Stamford.

No Secrets at Bermuda

This time the people of the United
States should make sure no secret
deals-selling US or any other country
over to Soviet Russia-by demanding
congressional representation at the pro-
posed big Three" meeting at Bermuda.
The House and the Senate should
both be represented at the scheduled
meeting by q representative of both
branches Of the legislative phase Of
the Government from both the Repub-
ican and the Democratic parties.
An outspoken and level-headed Sen
ator such as Joe Mccarthy should rep
resent the Senate. while some New
Dealer like Senator Lehman of New
York could listen for the Democrats.
AS for the House, just good Republic
can and a good New Deal Democrat
would be good enough to represent
that body.
Already there is reason to wonder
whether the President has made some
kind of deal that may eventually back
fire against the free world in the re-
lease of Newspaperman William Oats.
Let's not have any more "secret" let
ters to heads of Communist states, nor
meetings without true representatives
of the American republic present.
