Hiss and His Future

Your editorial entitled "Hiss and His
Future" was disappointing in that 1t
reflects the type Of thought so prevalent
today in the more liberal press. To
paraphraSe your third paragraph
slightly, you say considering also the
limited nature Of our Governments
prosecuting case against him Hiss.
the suspicion of treason may be alto
gether unreasonable and unjust" Any
one who knows the facts in the Hiss
case understands that he was convicted
Of perjury, not espionage, but the per-
jury was based on the fact that he
was lying when he said he did not pass
secret documents to Chambers. The
conviction on this count, coupled with
other evidence submitted by Chambers,
gives very good grounds for considering
Hiss traitor. Certain legal compli-
cations, however, prevented an effective
prosecution on q charge of espionage.
Much of the current press and radio
handling Of the news seems to deliber-
ately foster the idea that one really
can't tell' what another's motives are,
particularly when the subject in ques-
ton is affiliated with subversive move
ment. The doubts thus raised are foS-
tered by the lack Of detailed knowledge
provided to the public by the media. An
editorial writer of The Star, however,
should be we'll versed in trial of such
Importance as Hiss, and the you really
can't tell" attitude exhibited in the edi-
torial in question shows lack of such
knowledge which should be promptly
corrected.

Many Americans hope for the day
when Alger Hiss will have proved his
innocence Of charges brought by the
gentleman farmer In Westminster,
Whitaker Chambers.
History may yet prove that Ager Hiss
is innocent and Whitaker Chambers
guilty. J. Wilbur Potherby.

Favor Get Tough Policy
Your November "a editorial, "Wise
Presidential Counsel" after stating
that President Eisenhower made it
clear that there has not been any
change in the basic Communist objec-
tive Of world revolution and DOM
inant Communist state" says that the
President defined peaceful co-existence
as meaning "you either live with some
one in this world or you are fighting
him and trying to kill him; and as long
as you are not trying to destroy, you
are co-existing."
President Eisenhower neglected to
say that the prefix eco" obviously
means that both parties are max
ing a sincere effort to exist in
peace with each other. but to date
only the United States has been peace

Hope and the Atom

In unanimously approving the resolution
on President Eisenhower's atoms-f for peace
plan, the United Nations General Assembly
has taken highly promising first step to-
ward making the project reality for the
good of all mankind. However, since the
men of the Kremlin have qualified their
rare affirmative vote with the reservation
that they agree in principle but not neces-
sarily in practice, any optimism engendered
by the Assembly's action must be tempered
with the realization that lot of obstacles
will have to be overcome, and much time
consumed, before this great and benef1cent
enterprise can operate effectively on world
wide scale.
Even so, the heartening fact remains that
the Donation General Assembly, without a
single dissent, has Endorsed the idea Of
setting the Presidents plan in motion with
the following measures: (1) Negotiations to
establish an international Atomic Energy
Agency"-which would be associated with
the U. N-to speed up world cooperation
in Harvesting the atom for industrial, agri-
cultural, medical and similar peaceful uses
designed to help peoples everywhere tighten
"the burdens of hunger, poverty and dis
ease" and (2) corvocation of d general
scientific conference.-the be held not later
than next August-to determine how best
to utilize nuclear power and promote inter-
governmental collaboration for such pur-
poses This projected meeting CLOSED to
Red China and other countries not members
of the United Nations or It's specialized bod
ies) has aroused less controversy than the
proposed new agency, but even the latter
has been accepted In principle by the Rus
slams in spite of the rejection Of their effort
to make it subordinate to the Security Coun-
Gil and thus subject to their veto.
Accordingly, there is reason to be encour-
aged by this unanimous U. N. vote. True,
it represents only beginning, but it Is a
significant and hope-inspiring beginning.
Moreover, since Britain and the United
States are ready to back the enterprise with
an initial contribution of 264 pounds, OF, ifs
sionable material, the whereWithal already
exists to translate the Presidents plan into
concrete action. And as soon as such action
is taken, as soon as the atom starts work.
ing internationally for peace, the ground
work will be laid for the kind OF co-opera-
ton that could lead, IN due course to effec-
tive control and prohibition Of A-weapons
and the hydrogen bomb. The situation, to-
gether with the challenge and promise In
herent in it, has been well summed up by
Chairman Strauss of the Atomic Energy
Commission. AS he has put it, our own
country and the rest Of the world "are just
at the early dawn Of the new age, and if
we can find the means OF avoiding war. we,

The Condemned Man

Regarding David Lawrence's asser-
ton that condemn" is q weaker word
than ''censllre.' refer both him and
Senator McCarthy's enormously elated
hackers to .WebSter's Dictionary Of
synonyms" published by the G. C.
Merriam Co. in 1851, page 211, where
the following is found
-. Condemn carries even stronger
judicial connotations than censure. for
itimplies a final decision or definitive
Judgment; it commonly also suggests
an untempered judgment which is
wholly unfavorable and merciless."
A. r. Stickley.
Il X
At long last the Mccarthy censure
hullabaloo comes to an end. After
struggling with their consciences, 43
Democrats voted as bloc, with MEM
cries of "red herring" talk. So that's
that. Much ado about next to nothing.
Now. how long will 1t be before we
get the answer to that embarrassing
question Senator McCarthy was asking
when he was so politely interrupted:
Who in the Defense Department was
responsible for promoting and giving an
honorable discharge to graduate of
Communist leadership school?
Horace p. Hobbs, jr.
Leaving behind the pros and cons
Of the Mccarthy censure proceedings,
let us look forward. I for one believe
that David Lawrences despair is UNI
warranted. hope, trust. and believe
that there will be effective investiga-
ton into communistic activities.
Lloyd Buchanan.
So they have censured, pardon,
CONDEMNED" Senator Mccarthy!
In the estimation of this writer he
is the greatest American of modern
times-modest, forbearing and long
suffering
If it weren't for the still widespread
bigotry that reared its ugly head in
1928 Senator Mccarthy, statesman,
crusader. war hero and gentleman,
would be our next President Of the
United States. Veritas.

World Wool.

Wool is a very important COM
modify in the trade and economy
of most Of the temperate and
cold countries of the world. 1t
is a major product in i've prin-
cipal Southern Hemisphere coun-
tries: Australia. Argentina, New
Zealand. South Africa and uru-
quay, which normally supply
more than 80 per cent of the
wool irf world trade.
Sheep-raising is an important
undertaking over a wide area of
the western part of the United
States. The status of the wool
enterprise has reached promi-
nently into national conferences.
The United States. in addition
to being a large producer of wool,
is the largest wool-consuming
nation and largest importer.
World trade and the manufac-
tlre of wool are considered dig
nif1ed industrial undertakings in
Belgium. Italy, and Germany.
Wool has been receiving in
creased attention in the Soviet
Union.
It is of great Importance to
ocean shipping and naturally to
international trade discussions.
Since wool is the primary export
from some countries, it becomes
the key to any trade conference.
Raw wool is a material requir-
ing much skill and experience
in handling and marketing.
Properly handled it is a non
perishable commodity suitable
for storing for a considerable
length of time. Because of stor-
age and fluctuations in supply
and demand, this commodity is
open more or less to market
speculation.
After food, mans greatest need
| is for shelter and clothing. Wool.
is essential for protection against
climatic rigors and for this ranks
high along with food in world
trade.
The production Of wool In
those countries where the output
| is the leading crop runs well over
AZ billion pounds. The greater
part Of the current stocks consist
of medium. coarser woods, and
finer woods.
The United States, as result
of stock-piling foreign woods at
the beginning of the first war,
established support prices for
domestic production. The Inter-
national Wool Textile Organi-
zation held a conference in Am
sterdam in June 1948 to study
wool characteristics. Wool-labal-
ing one of the most important
pacts existing today between
France, Belgium, the Neither
lands and Luxembourg. Gone are
the days when every farm sup

needs, but for exchange and sale

Spring is just around the
corner, which also means that
spring house cleaning days
are upon us. too. so here are a
few general household hints.
Clean windows and mirrors
with a solution of household
ammonia and water. A reliable
mirror company recommends
this as the best method for
cleaning mirrors. II keep a
small bottle of ammonia in my
bathroom. out of reach of the
children since this is poison,
because ammonia is ideal for
cleaning bath fixtures and
glass shelves.
Two suggestions for wash
ing painted walls. etc. Either
prepare a solution Of l cup
household ammonia, u cup
vinegar. u cup baking soda
and / gallon water (no rinsing
is necessary. or. a solution of
8 cups water. ! tablespoon
pumice stone (from drugstore)
and bar yellow laundry soap,
grated. Heat this mixture to
the boiling stage. keep hot
and add more water if solution
thickenS. Apply with old
paint brush. The pumice stone
isn't necessary if the walls
aren't very dirty. I subSti-
tuted a gritty cleanser for the
pumice. Rinsing should be
done with clear warm water
and sponges wrung out as dry
as possible. Always use
Sponges rather than cloths
for wall washing because it is
much easier. Change rinse
water frequently.
For rewaxing wood floors,
first remove the old wax with
either turpentine. mineral
spirits or a product beginning
with "V." Use old rags to
clean the floor with the wax
removerS and change rags as
they get dirty. Then apply
paste wax (thin layers which
diminisheS the slipperiness of
the floors. and polish with an
electric polisher which can be
rented from almost any hard

BOILING MILK

mrs. c. T. H., Rockuille)
I have had some experience
with boiling milk in my work
as a dietitian. We use a fiat
tin pan, the type farmers used
to set milk to let the cream
rise to be skinned off. The
pan was about 1914 inches
across and ga inches deep. We
used a very low fire and stirred
it constantly with a gadget
called a wire "whiSk." We
never had any trouble with it
burning or scorching. Try plac-
ing an asbestos pad under your
pan. Also try wetting the in
side Of the pan with water be-
fore adding the milk. even
leaving a thin layer Of water
over the bottom of the pan.
Good luck.
