On the other hand, pursuant to

Describes Crash.
Mr.. Raleigh, a contractor of
Fairlee who was in charge of
the building project at the crash
scene. described the crash as
follows:
Il happened to glance up and
saw the plane flying at about
5000 to 5000 feet. It looked
small, and I could barely hear
the motors. Suddenly a puff of
white smoke appeared and a
piece of the plane started falling.
Il shouted to my men and we
all saw that the plane was fall
ing right at us. 1t was coming
down in a sort of fiat spin. We
ran for the river bank but sew
eral of us didn't make it and
were thrown down by the blast
when the plane hit"
Mr.. Raleigh said the group
waited several seconds and then
started up the 25-foot embank-
ment.
I'VE got within Is feet of the
burning plane, but I suddenly
thought there might be bombs
or some other explosive in it and
got every one back behind the
embankment. Just then the
plane blew up and black smoke
billowed up in the air." Mr..
Raleigh said.

New Democratic DIGEST

The editors Of the Democratic Di-
gest. August. 1858, issue. in letter to
the reader, quote Ralph McGill, editor
Of the Atlanta Constitution, as saying,
Anything which promotes political
discussion and controversial debate of
major issues is therapeutic in effect
on the body polite" With this agree
wholeheartedly. and the new Demo.
cratic Digest does just that. Witness
this letter. Is. the magazine, however.
talking sense to the American people"
as the advertisement on it's back cover
so categorically asserts? Let us test
the announced policy by examining its
treatment Of Senator Mccarthy.
On page 81, it is stated that "It is
clear. then, that his (Senator Nc
Carthy's) unique influence springs ex-
clusively from this power to punish
and terrorize, to smear and destroy"
Later. on the same page, the smear
theme is further developed: 1.-The
President. like any other respectable po-
lltical figure, can be injured by smearS,
whereas so many charges have al
ready been laid at McCarthys door
that he is almost immune to further
criticism" Note the. emotion charged
epithets so carefully employed. What
one says of the President is a smear:
what one says of Senator Mccarthy is
charge. This display of semantic
ability is clever. but the logic is thin.
The inarticulate major premise en-
ployed by the Digest in its treatment
OF Senator Mccarthy is that the end
does not justify the means. With this
principle OF morality I am in full ac-
cord. The magazine points out that
the Senator's ostensible end is to fight
communism, though it doubts that
this is his real objective. The fight
against communism is, of course. a
good end, we all agree. But when the
Digest discusses the means employed by
the Senator, the presentation is notice
ably emotional and noticeably lacking
in Recommendation.
plead for a return to the political
logic of Al Smith who so often insisted,
Lets look at the record" Let us not
fight smear with smear. Let us not
fight slogan with slogan. Instead, let
us set forth facts. Where Senator Nc
Carthy is wrong, let us show it by the
truth, not by name-calling. And in our
zeal in fighting the smear technique he
sometimes employs. let us not fall into
the false position of denouncing every
thing the man does. Some of his
charges have been wild, but many of
his charges have proved only too true.

This and That . .

So we find something remarkable,
even newsworthy, in boy feeding
SQUIRREL or a girl with a blue jay
perched on her finger.
Men and women of affairs now find
time to admire the wild things as we'll
as kill them.
These are civilizing things that go
along with prayers. good writing and
reading, beautiful music and architec-
ture.
The wholesome part of it all is how
close this admiration of nature can
come to the average person-the doctor
at his window between patients, the
housewife looking up from her kitchen
sink, the weary businessman after a
days Illustration at the Office.
One does not in any sense have to
belong to anything, or be member OF
anything, to admire dogs, cats. squir-
rels and birds.
They are all over our city, and usu-
ally are to be seen. at least, by no more
than looking out the living room win
dow.
Their small lives are counterpartS OF
ours, as they eat, run, sleep. fight and
die.
We humans manage to make our
selves think that there is something
particularly fine about our own lives,
and no doubt there is, but in the main
departments. as stated. they run re-
markably. curiously and even comic
ally close to those of the animals.

bird without being reminded that there
are today whole tribes, nations OF men,
who are after stalking us in just the
same manner unless we are careful.
No one has looked down upon the
silent bundle of fur that once was the
family pet without realizing, although
it may be in dumb, uncompreh ehendlng
way. that the difference between us all,
in this world, is very slight.
So we rejoice at the pictures Of our
pets and like to tell stories about them.
This magic circle of interest has been
increased, particularly in the National
Capital. by the admittance of two other
tribes, those of the squirrels and birds.
Our situation as a city in a forest
has been partly responsible for this.
It is a usual sight to see scores Of
girls at lunch seated on the lawns,
while pigeons and squirrels and cardi-
mails and common sparrowS with maybe
an old startling or two, are walking and
hopping around, eating bits of lunch
thrown to them from time to time.
We live in happy city. and we must
keep it that way, and few things will
contribute more to this than our
admiration and respect for living
things, notably the dogs. cats, squirrels
and birds that come into our daily
lives.
We live in a city of important men
and affairs, but it is good that we can
at times, and as group, understand
that the unimportant things have .

milk into their small refrigeratorS.
Eventually the war was over, but war
time milk deliveries continued.
The price of milk has gone up and
up, and recently we had still another
rise. Several days later came beauti-
fully composed letter from our friendly
milkman. So that he can spend Sum
day with his family, he knows that the
consumers will be glad to use milk for
Tuesdays breakfast that he delivers
on Saturday and which was taken from
the COW on Friday or before. How the
consumers small refrigerator will hold
eleven quarts of milk and the week end
supply of butter. cream, eggs and food
from the grocery is the consumers
problem.
1t seems to me that meekness is not
always worthy of praise. In milk, as in
public transportation, we are paying
more and more for less and less. When
companies set themselves up to provide
service to the public, is it too much to
insist that they do good job of it?

This column takes quiet bow at
the plethora of cat, dog, bird and
squirrel photos and articles appearing
in the local papers.
When we began with these, in 1924,
they were rarity.
They have become commonplace OF
journalism everywhere. Even the great
New York dailies, particularly the New
York Times and the Herald Tribune,
find no day complete without some
such story.
Perhaps it isn't due entirely to this
particular influence, but we can say
with some pride that we have played
a part.
There are few living things more
picturesque than dogs, cats. squirrels
and birds.
Their relationship to human beings
is very close.
They are a civilizing influence, and
benefit from more. not less. civilization
in stabilized state Of affairs.
The old Romans loved dogs, in par
ticular.
Seneca had a few scathing remarks,
or was it Epictetus or maybe Cicero.
about the way the women of Rome
carried pet dogs around in their arms.
Wherever, in the course of human
events, men have achieved real peace,
the pet animals have come into their
own.
SQUIRRELS and birds. of course, become
pets, In any real sense, only at times.

Boudinot Collection

Mrs Landon K. Thorne'S recent gift of the
famous Boudinot collection to Princeton Uni
versity is one of the more important transac-
tionS of the sort. The manuscripts, books,
portraits furniture, silver and china included
in the donation are of great value as Anneri-
cana, partly because they are associated with
particularly distinguished Americans who served
their country well and therefore deserve re-
membrance.
Elias Boudinot Q740-1821 was of French
Huguenot ancestry, born in Philadelphia and
married to sister of Richard Stockton. He
was well-educated and had the advantage of
acquaintance with many of the most eminent
personalities of his time. BY the age of 80 he
was leader at the bar. At 80 he became a
trustee of Princeton College, retaining the
position for the remainder of his long life. A
conservative Whig politically, he nevertheless
was drawn into the movement which resulted in
independence. During the Revolutionary War
he was in close touch with George Washington
and helped to finance his operations in the
field.
Elected to Congress in 1777, Boudinot was
chosen its president on November 4, 1882, acting
also as secretary of foreign affairs from June 16.
1783" 1t was at his suggestion that the re-
moval of Congress to Princeton was effected.
Subsequently, he aided in securing New Jerseys

Congress Can Settle 1t

Corporation Counsel Vernon Vests memo
randum on the legal aspects of the proposed
street bridge controversy has served to give
clearer perspective of the confused picture
Especially clear is the fact that the confusion
is likely to continue, perhaps in even more
aggravated FORM unless Congress puts an end
to the squabble by settling it through legislative
action. Congressional mediation seems to be
inevitable if there is to be any early solution of
the local bridge problem-and the situation is
too acute to permit of indefinite delay in de-
Gliding bridge prioritieS.
1t is unfortunate that such matters too
often cannot be settled on the local level by
the agencies created by Congress to handle
them. But the highway engineers and the city
planners have been at loggerheads frequently
over location and design of District bridges. It
required congressional intervention to terminate
the wrangling over the Fourteenth street and
East Capitol street bridges. Now, according
to Mr.. Vests statement to the Commissioners,
Congress not only has the power to decide the
E street bridge issue but will be required to
authorize any such project.
The controversy revolveS around the Dis
trict Highway Departments proposal to build
a bridge from street to point on the Virginia
shore near Arlington boulevard The structure
would cross one end of Theodore Roosevelt
Island given to the Federal Government in 1892
by the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Association
with the understanding that it would be pre-
served as a park and wildlife refuge. The
Corporation Counsel advised the Commissioners
that Congress can authorize use of the island
for bridge base if it sees fit Whether such
use would be inconsistent with the purposes for
which the island was dedicated is a problem
which Congress must decide as matter of fact.
There are important questions concerning
park conservation and traffic relief which have
led to the present impaSSe over the E street
project. They are questions of sufficient public
interest to warrant full public hearings. Con-
gress can provide the best forum for the airing
of the issues. And since Congress eventually
will have to make the authorization and the
appropriation for such bridge, the calling of
a special hearing on the project would be in
order.

AIerts Tenants

The tenants in the Trenton Terrace
development have recognized the need
for the extension of rent control in
the District of Columbia and have
formed council. a non-political organi-
zation of interested tenants, to fight
for its re-enactment.
The council believes that tenants
throughout the city should be informed
that rent control ends in this city on
July 81, 1858, without providing local
option opportunities afforded other
cities in the country. We believe that
citizens must be presented the facts
and should be aware that shortage
of low and medium rentals exists:
despite the contradictory testimony of
real estate groups. We believe citizens
should be impressed with the fact that
although rents in all developments may
not rise Immediately after the expira-
ton of rent control they are likely to
follow the experience of other cities
and increase substantially over period
of year or more. Finally, we believe
that merchants should be aware that
the curtailment of Government en-
ployment and other factors have in
creased buyer resistance and that they
will find it increasingly difficult to
maintain sales as higher rents eat more
and more into low and middle incomes.
Few weeks remain before the end
of control on rents. Already, notices
of increases as high as Is per cent
have gone out to tenants. More are
on their way. Therefore, it is up to
the citizens of the city who are inter-
ested in having rent control to act now.
We urge civic groups. urban leagues.
veterans organizations, labor organiza-
tions, and others interested in rent
control to act together now. The coun-
Gil would like to communicate with all
groups interested in participating In
program to work for rent control.
