This and That

May faithful reader of your ar
ticles in The Star express his satisfac-
ton upon reading that you intend, in
the future. to write more about books?
There is nothing like good book.
II love them. read them, collect
them, cherish them, borrow them, lend
them. talk about them and am even
learning to bind them.
80 your comments upon anything
connected with them are eagerly pc
rused.
Il have particularly enjoyed your
thoughts on the care Of books and
shall welcome anything you have to
say about your favorites-which are
probably mine, too.
with many thanks for the pleasure
received from past articles and antici-
pated from future ones, I am,
Sincerely yours, A. D."

pages of the book. being always care
full not to permit the page to slip, so
that its last state shall be worse than
its first.
In this way, the old book may be
rendered cleaner to the eye and nose.
and certainly better to own and to

page should be inspected, and carefully

Literature and music hourished as never before
since the Golden Age of Athens. Our own
modern era still benefits from those historic
triumphs over circumstance.
Meanwhile, Constantinople, wrecked by the
Turks, was being repopulated and rebuilt by the
same. Mohammed the Great saw to it that the
new Ottoman capital surpassed Damascus, Bag
dad and Cairo in beauty and grandeur. Five
hundred years later-as IStambul-it remains
one of the most important communities of the
world. The Turks themselves changed, until
in 1853 they constitute nation democratized
and reinvigorated, a nation proud to count
itself among the free societies of the earth, a
friend and valued ally of America.

Armeniuns Behind Curtain

There was a time when the flag of
an independent country was unfurled
above building on Twentieth street
NV. 1t was the legation of the then
small but vigorous young nation-the
Armenian Republic-which was created
after 600 years Of untold human sacri-
flee. That tricolor symboljzed the
cherished dreams Of the Armenian
people.
Through the centuries, the then
Asiatic hordes hurled their barbaric
and powerful armies against Armenia,
hoping to crush the very spirit of this
Oldest Christian nation. These enemies
Of civilization eventually succeeded In
subjugating the nation, but failed to
subdue the spirit of its people. Because
Of their uncomfortable spirit, they were
able to preserve their dignity, their
culture and their lofty Christian ideals
The idea of complete defeat never
entered the minds of the Armenian
people. It is no wonder that they
eventually succeeded in establishing a
free and independent republic on
May %, 1918, at the foot of Mount
Ararat. Armenia was the first nation
in the Near East to become a demo-
cratic republic. with some notifications,
patterned after our own country.

Misfortune soon beset this budding

than three years, but not until the
people, without their leaders (already
most OF them eXiled to Siberia, re-
volted against the alien intruders and
succeeded in holding the government
for few months at least. To over
come this only genuine successful revolt
against its regime, Soviet Russia was
compelled to summon q larger force
from Moscow to crush the uprising.
Today the Armenian republic is no
longer. She is one of the 16 Soviet
republics. The Armenians once again
have been subjugated in their unhappy
land. But if their history has taught

Flaw in the Point System

Traffic Director Keneipp has acted with
proper haste to correct an obvious flaw" in
the new point system for penalizing traffic vio-
lators It was manifestly unjust to mark de-
merits against driver who had been acquitted
of charges brought by police. Yet, under the
rules as interpreted by officials administering
the point plan, such injustices were possible.
And there was no provision for correcting mis-
takes of this kind.
Unfortunately, the point system is COM
paratively new plan for keeping Grant drivers
in line. It has been given tryouts in only two
other Jurisdictions. Connecticut and New jersey
Reports from both States are favorable, how
ever The system provides for charging points
against drivers who violate the traffic regula-
tions. When a driver has accumulated five
points, he is required to appear at the Traffic
Department and give an explanation. Eight
points will bring suspension for 80 days and
more than that will result in longer suspension
or revocation.
In a recent case a driver charged with
driving through stop sign but acquitted OF
the charge in court was, nevertheless, assessed
three points and given friendly warning"
When he protested to an official, he was told
that the point system was based on police
charges, regardless of disposition. Mr.. Keneipp
promptly announced that the rules had been
misunderstood by the official. But he admitted
that a regulation approved by the Comnis
sioners forbids eraSure of any points, once they
are listed. He has moved to have this rule
changed so that points assessed through error
can be removed from the record.
Mr.. Keneipp defends another rule that
permits him to charge dement's against a
driver charged with but not yet tried for
drunken driving, manslaughter or recklessneSs
of an aggravated nature. He points out that
such cases, if carried to trial, may involve long
delays. If the driver later is acquitted, the
points will be removed from his record. This
procedure is a reasonable one, under the cir
cumstances In lesser violations, however the
dement's should not be marked up until plea
of guilty or a conviction is obtained All
previous point cases should be checked to make
sure that no unfair marks have been entered
In the record of any driver.

Memorial Day, 1853

The significance of Memorial Day has
grown with the passing of the years. It began
in 1868 as an occasion for commemorating the
heroic dead of our War Between the States
the Civil War of 1861-1865. BY 1900 it had
been enlarged in practice to include those who
fell in the war with Spain. Now it embraces
the martyrs of the two world wars and, most
particularly this year, those of the prevailing
conflict in Korea. Meanwhile in eight and
half decades, Americas role in global affairs
has changed in character and also very largely
in purpose. Our country has become the leading
exponent of the principle of freedom in uni
versal application.
Events have forced us into this position
1t is not feasible for any single country to escape
from the common destiny of mankind. We are
neighbors to every other nation.
So it happens that in 1858 we face Memorial
Day with more profound conception of its
larger more expansive meaning. Our people
mourn especially the boys and men who have
given their lives resisting militant communism
in the Korean conflict. Their sacrifice was de-
manded in a struggle which America, sponsor
ing the United Nations had hoped to avoid.
When the challenge of Red aggression suddenly
developed in new republic guaranteed under
the San Francisco Charter, the United States
was obliged to accept that challenge. 1t did so
with the mandate of the United Nations.
What has occurred since then is fresh in
the memory of every American. More than
$4,000 battlefield fatalities have been reported,
and the list is known to be far from complete
1t is the natural grief which we all feel for
these beloved friends and kinsmen" that
prompts President Eisenhower to call for ma
tional prayer today that war may be removed
from the earth forever"
Memorial Day 1858, then is an occasion of
worldwide significance. an occasion not merely
OF conmemoration but likewise of rededication
for "us, the living" to the sacred cause of our
most recent dead-"to the end that the day
may come when we shall never have another
war-never another Unknown Soldier"

But still other multitudeS had fed before
Constantinople was taken, sacked and pillaged.
AS early as 400, people had begun to remove
from the city. The emigrants included scholars,
artists, craftsmen merchants former officers Of
state. They wandered into Europe in groups.
Some settled in the Hellenic peninsula, some in
the adjacent Balkans. Still others crossed the
Adriatic to Italy. A few travelled as far as Spain
and England. They took their talents and their
skills with them. The National Gallery, here in
Washington, contains evidence of their migra-
tions-and the fine fruits of their laborS.

learning-never could have happened in any

Heovy-Honded Approach

The overwhelming support given in the
Senate Appropriations Committee to q recon-
mendation that the United States should with
hold financial support to the United Nations
If Communist China is admitted to membership
reflects the depth of current sentiment on this
issue. Only three members of the 23-man COM
mittee voted against the proposal.
Attached as a rider to the State, Commerce
and Justice departmental appropriation bill,
the recommendation will require House and
Senate approval to become applicable. Pres-
dent Eisenhower at his press conference yes
terday questioned the adviSability of attacking
the problem of Communist China's admittance
In this manner although expressing the opinion
that such admttance should not be approved
under present conditions.
Despite the understandable antagonlSm to
admitting Communist China to the U. N, the
Senate committees approach is the wrong way
to make or to implement foreign policy. The
primary issue of the moment is to negotiate an
armistice in Korea If that is accomplished,
the next problem very likely will be that of our
continuing relationship toward China and its
Communist government Both problems de-
mand negotiating f1exibility. Agreement among
the U. N. powers the armistice negotiations
appears to have been reached in recent days
but an arbitrary stand on the second issue
through the device of threatening to withhold
funds hits not only at Communist China but
at the United Nations itself Holding a club
over our allies is not likely to be popular or
successful way of strengthening the U. N. or
achieving eventual peace and stability in Asia

This is to call attention to the
disgraceful situation in regard to the
non-payment of salaries for some %
employees of the Office of Administrator
of Rent Control, D. c. Through no fault
of theirs the appropriation to pay their
salaries from March IA through June
80, 1853, has been hopelessly snarled In
red tape since last February. Their last
pay check was received on March a.
June 2 will mark the fifth payday they
have missed. Picture If you can the
embarrassment and mental strain under
which they are existing. All of them
have had to borrow, some from rela-
tives, some from friends and some from
banks Debts are piling up, rents are
due, mortgages are overdue, purchase
of any but the bare necessities is
postponed. But this cannot go on end
lessly! Congress, the White House and
the press are aware of this situation.
Appeals have been made to them all to
aid in ending this fiasco, but all to no
avail.
