Church Fights

CINCTNNATI-(NC)-An editor
for national magazine declared
that I'll is fair to say" that the
Church in Argentina has given

There is virtually no political

last vestige of it was removed with
the murder of La Prensa, the fam

Mr.. Shea disclosed that for re
porting in an American way the
story Of La Prensa's suppression,

the Peron police.
"The same dull tune: praise of
the dictator. praise OF the regime, "
Is carried by the press. radio and
all other instruments Of commune
cation. Mr. Shea said. He added
that since the recent elections in
this country the strong anti-U.S.
theme of Argentine propaganda
has been "softened"
~ don't believe President Eisen-
hover will look with favor on the
Peron government" Mr.. Shea said.
But I don't think, either, that We
are going TO repeat the silly things
that We have been doing with Ar

Astin Incident

A scientist looks at an experimental
result as an umpire looks at q pitch,
calling it as he sees it, without regard
to pressure from people involved. Essen
tial to both professions is the free
exercise of unbiased Judgment. # an
umpire is fired on the unsubstantiated
charge that he lacks objectivity. the
ultimate result may well be coercion of
other umpires into favoring certain ball
clubs.
AS scientists, we feel that similar
consequences could follow the dismissal
Of DR.. Astin as director of the Bureau
of Standards. In our minds. the charge
that DR.. Astin was not objective is not
backed by adequate evidence. Despite
denialS, it is on the record that the
charge was made, and temporary reten-
ton of DR.. AStin in no way settles the
matter. In the minds of people who are
most aware of the methods and prob
lens of science, this will continue to be
an incident forewarning danger to all
American science. The situation can be
alleviated only by a determination of
the facts of the battery additive action
by scientists Of recognized ability, fol-
lowed by full and honest public report
and appropriate action by the admin
istration.

Frances Latest Vote

AS result of Sundays municipal and town
elections in France, the Communists remain
at least as strong as ever but that will be OF
little help to them in Parliament. This Is so
because the chief beneficaries of the vote are
former Premier Antoine Pinay and his con-
servative- minded Independent Party. They
have grown markedly in strength because Gen.
eral Charles de Gaulle and his extreme right
wing followers have suffered heavy losses, and
the losses have been registered as gains in the
Pinay political ledger
This outcome raises the possibility that
Premier Rene Mayer who has sought unSuccess-
fully for an alliance with Mr.. Pinay, may run
into serious trouble early next month when the
French National Assembly win be called upon
to grant him the additional powers he has
requested. If the request is denied as seems not
unlikely, then the chances are that he will
resign In that case Mr.. Pinay probably will
be an odds-on favorite to return to the pre-
miership. Several members of the greatly
weakened De Gaullist wing are expected to
shift to his side and enhance his prospects in
that respect
Thus although it remains disappointing

knows that sentences cannot be built to
order, on a fixed mathematical plan,
except at certain loss.
He knew, as most good writer's do,
that the sentence must express what
the writer wants it to express. and if
it does this, he Is writing well. The
length of the sentence, from this view
point, has absolutely nothing to do with
it.
When James came to his major
phase" he was famous man, at least
among the few. He was easily carica-
tured, however; one of the most famous
was Max Beerbohms THE Mote in the
Atom"
James, being human, reacted to such
things as might be expected: he length
ened his sentences, as If out OF spite,
and made them so elaborate In Struc-
ture that they became test for any
reader.
And that is what such works as
"The Golden Bowl and ''The Wings
of the Dove" even The Portrait Of
Lady," to a lesser degree, are today.
Nobody should begin with them. They
are to be reserved for the major phase
of ones own reading, after a full
course of the earlier James. Then, and
then only, it becomes easy to read THE
Golden Bowl" but even then not too
easy. Henry James was not popular
author, ever, and never will be. He
didn't want to be; that. perhaps, was
his glory. ~,

Rent-ControI Uniformity

Congress has acted logically in voting to
give District rent control the same extension
previously approved for other parts of the
Nation. AS Chairman Case of the District
Committee pointed out, it would be inequitable
to continue rent control as national policy
until July 81 while letting it die in Washington
tomorrow night. The House wisely went along
with the Senate on this controversial issue,
although the House District Committee had
killed two-month extension bill only last week.
1t is evident however, that the rent-control
era is approaching an end. Barring another
emergency, the rental market should be re-
turned with reasonable dispatch to the hands
of free enterprise.

the deal they made. James Monroe
had been sent abroad to work with
Robert Livingston. our minister in Paris.
Monroe's instructions were to acquire
New Orleans and the FloridaS, bidding
up to $40 million if necessary. It was
assumed then that East and West
Florida had been ceded back to France
by Spain, with Louisiana.
Napoleon talked with his finance min
ister, Barbe Marbois, about ceding LOui-
siana to the United States. Marbois,
however, saw chance to get needed
money for the treasury. He told Liv-
ingston, Napoleon wanted 100 million
francs-about $40 million-for Louisi-
ana.
Livingston and Monroe bargained.
They said they did not want Louisiana
but would like to get New Orleans and
the territory to the east. The French
shaded the price and finally agreed On
SIS million.
After the Americans got what they
had not intended to get in the first
place, they did not know what they had.
Louisiana lay west of the Mississippi
except for New Orleans and its ada
cent territory on the east bank.

The Star rightly is impatient with

1t might be well also for all tax
payers to wonder why these gentlemen
in Congress react so urgently to what
they consider loss for the whole
citizenry of the United States whereas
they do nothing at all about the gi-
gantic loss in prospect if the United
States does not assert soon her claims
to Antarctic territory rightfully due

lower taxes, better schools, payment of
the public debt, and what not might
well ask all Senators and Congressman
when they are going to attend to the
matter of making Antarctic claims and
clinching such territorial claims with
the establishment of permanent bases
down there. A program of careful min
eral surveys is in order at this time
when there Is so much talk of dwin-
ding natural resources in this country.
What the States will rightly retain
when the tidelands bill is passed will
be no loss for the citizenry as whole
compared to the possible loss Of the
potential wealth to be derived from the
South Polar Continent, which is only
little smaller than South America,
and as yet completely untapped.

Biggest Real Estate Deal in, Historv
By Francis P. Douelos

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS
~ ago tomorrow the United States
signed q treaty with France whereby
the United States acquired the great
area lying west of the Mississippi and
known then as Louisiana.
The Louisiana Purchase more than
doubled the area Of the Nation at that
time. This step, which seemed WORTH
while then and which no one-at least
in this country-wants to undo now, Is
being observed with a notable. almost
elaborate, lack Of ceremony.
Aside from some resolutions intro
duced in Congress, the observance so
far appears to be confined to the 1ssu-
ance of a commemorative postage
stamp. This Is no more than was done
to mark the centennial of the poultry
industry in 1948. Then stamp with
q rooster on it was issued.
It is not suggested here that there
is any desire to forget this notable
event in our history. Perhaps it Is due
to a subconscious desire to forget that
Americans, who pride themselves on
being sharp traders, paid SIS million In
the biggest real estate deal In history
when they might have gotten the land
for nothing.
It has long been assumed that Ma
poleon would have given us Louisiana
If we had not been intent on making
a deal. This became pretty much
certainty recently with the deciphering
of the journals of Gen.. Henri Gratien
Bertrand and their publication by Dou-
bleday.
Gen. Bertrand, devoted follower Of
Napoleon, was with him on the island
of st. Helena. In the final months Of
the Emperor's life he was given to iv-
ing over the past. But he was also
making plans for the future, if his
captivity should end.
There was talk that the English
might not want to keep him any longer.
That set Napoleon to speculating where
he might go. He told Gen. Bertrand it
would suit him well to live In America.
First he would recover his health, then
he would travel about the country.
Gen. Bertrand recorded this statement
by Napoleon:
''Among other places. would pay a
visit to Louisiana; after all, it was
who gave it to the Americans. have
been reproached with having sold it to
them, but would have given it to
them for nothing. for with war on the
way I could not have kept 1t, and then
the English would have taken it,"

Liberal CoIumnists

Lowell Mellett's recent criticism Of
Senator Taft's article in Look maga-
zine was vastly amusing. AS the Sena-
tor explained at a press interview,
when he said that most Washington
correspondents supported the New
Deal during period of 20 years" he
particularly had in mind certain COL
umnists, of which Mr.. Mellett is rep
resentative.
Certainly during the Truman admin
istration, Mellett and other columnists
who call themselves liberal" consist
emily employed their talents in sup
port of all socialistic proposals and in
justifying the invasion of the rights of
the States and RECOMMENDATION of Amer
ican industry. They also did their
best to refute the charge Of Com
munist pampering by officials in high
Office.
Mellett contends that Senator Taft
was distinctly unfair" when he said:
There is a strong tendency to exag-
gerate possible differences within the
Republican Party" Mellett and some
of his liberal colleagues have been dill
gently engaged since the inauguration
in distorting and magnifying minor
incidents out Of all relation to their

in the several States as an incident of
State sovereignty.
For more than a hundred years the
States relied upon those decisions as
firmly establishing their title. But on
June %, 1947. they were reversed by a
divided court, Justices Reed and Frank
furter dissenting and Justice Jackson
taking no part. i''
Heretofore, in 1916, the Senate and
House had passed joint resolution
quitclaiming to the adjacent States
3-lnile belt Of all land situated under
the ocean beyond low-water mark. The
American Bar Association, the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the Con-
ference of Governors, the National As
Sociation of Attorneys General, and
other organizations too numerous to
mention supported this or similar legis-
lation both before and subsequent to
the contrary decision Of the Supreme
Court.
1t seems curious that any one would
have the effrontery to describe legiSla-
ton so sponsored as highway robbery
in broad daylight" Even in the Su-
preme Court two members apparently
felt that the Federal Government, not
the States, was guilty Of committing
robbery.
