Swiss Hunt Master Craftsman
In Sale of Counterfeit VioIins

charges against two Swiss violin
dealers are pending, and the
investigators hope to track down
the forger before these cases
come to trial. Some 80 modern
violins sold as old italian mas
terpieces at fabulous prices have
been conf1scated as evidence for
the prosecution. Police believe
that scores Of the forgeries have
found their way into western
Europe and the United States.
The investigations are seriously
hindered by the reluctance Of
violin lovers to admit they were
fooled.
The first counterfeit violin was
discovered accidentally several
years ago by Giovanni Iviglia,
secretary general Of the Italian
Chamber Of Commerce in Swift
zerland. Iviglia has written sew

eral books On Italian violins Of
the so-called classical period,
roughly l64O-l74O.
Even Labels Faxed.
A friend proudly showed him
an acquisitions beautiful, in
laid Stradiyarius bought from q
dealer for 100000. The violin
had q faded parchment label on
the case and q dealers certificate
OF origin. Microscopic flaws
aroused Ivaglia's suspicion
Chemical analysis proved the
violin was Of modern manufac-
ture and had been carefully aged
by heat treatment and other
means. Even the label was a
fake.
Then a committee, with the
help Of a police laboratory, ex-
anined all the old violins, cellos
and other instruments submitted
by owners willing to cooperate.

Ivigli said, "that more than 80
per cent Of the violins we ex-
arnined were copies.

$500 Fire Damages Home
'Of Banker 5 Widow

Fire In a kitchen exhaust duct
did an estimated $500 damage
yesterday to the home of Mrs.
Chester Wells, widow of a prom
inent civic and financial leader,
at 1920 Jones Mill road in Chevy
Chase.
Firemen said the kitchen CELL
ing had to be pulled down as a
precautionary measure against
a hidden blaze in the joists.
Deputy Chevy Chase Fire Chief
J. II. Garrett gave the damage
estimate.
The rambling brick house on
a 60-acre estate is occupied by
Mrs. Marion L. Dixon Wells. The
late Capt. Chester Wells, U. s. N.
(ret.) was a founder of the Ham
ilton National Bank and we'll

Virginia Republicans Do Well

The strong Republican showing in Vir-
ginia, marked by the decisive victories of
incumbent Representatives Joel T. Broyhill
of the nearby 10th district and Richard H.
Poff of the 9Th district and by the G. o. P.
trend in the Arlington County Board con-
test, indicates that a tWo-party system has
firm foothold in that traditionally one
party State. Virginia has elected a sprin
king of Republicans in times past, OF
course, but usually they were swept into
Office on a national tide, only to be swept
out again in off-year elections But it did
not happen that way this time. On the
contrary, both Mr.. Broyhill and Mr.. Poff
strengthened their holds on their Offices by
surprisingly large margins, despite ener-
getic Democratic efforts to regain the seats.
Representative Broyhills substantial
win over the Democratic contender, John
c. Webb who had the strong backing of
united Democratic organization, is per-
sonal as well AS party triumph. The
youthful Arlington builder stood squarelv
on his record as freshman member of
the House-a record which was subjected
to severe and, The Star thinks, often unfair
attacks based largely on President EiSen-
hower's veto of the Federal employees pay
raise bill. The voters, many of whom are
Government employees, showed their appre-
citation of Mr.. Broyhill's efforts to get the
employees not only pay raise but numerous
fringe benefits, too. Representative Pof
achieved even a greater margin than Mr..
Broyhill, defeating Delegate Ernest Robert
son by about three -to-two ratio. Repub-
ncan Representative Wampler, however,
was slightly behind his Democratic oppo-
nent, Sheriff Pat Jennings of Smyth Coun-
ty, in the Southwestern 9th district.
The Republican swell in Arlington was
attested not only Dy Mr.. Broyhilps 4,500
margin over Mr.. Webb but by the reelection
of Mrs. Leone Buchholz to the County
Board. Mrs. Buchholz was elected originally
as candidate of the Arlington Independent
Movement, which had strong Republican
backing. Her new victory over Non-par-
tisan, Democratic and Independent candi-
dates constitutes popular Endorsement of
the present County Board, whose conserva
tive policies were attacked by her oppo
nents. The board consists of another AIM
member, two Republicans and Democrat,
in addition to Mrs Buchholz. The two Re-
publicans had urged her reelection, and
to this extent the result may be construed
as G.. o. P. victory.

Segregated Truvel

The recent decision from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission denying
the right to free and unrestricted travel
for Negroes on the same basis govern
ing such travel for other citizens is a
shocking example of either the exercise
of personal prejudices in public Office or
downright ignorance of the trends of
our times in substantiating the doctrine
of equality enunciated through recent
Supreme Court decisions involving
schools, Federal housing and other
aspects of life in the United States. To
be guilty of either is an error Of judg-
ment in the subject matter, and gross
offense to Is million Negro citizens.
There is no argument for segregated
travel based on race and color. 1t is an
insulting and gratuitous design to stamp
Negroes as second-class citizens in an
age that has accepted the doctrine of
equality of the individual under our
Constitution. This is fundamental
principle that must be reflected in the
laws of the land and in practice where
the Federal Government is involved.
The National Council of Negro Wom-
en- commends the Department of Justice
for its swift and unequivocal stand in
urging the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to abolish all forms of racial
segregation in railway trains operating
in interstate commerce. The day must
come, and not too far distant, when
segregation in intrastate travel is
banned by Federal edict just as segrega-
ton in public schools is now unconsti-

This and That

England and over the centuries made
1t their own.
Trevelyan points up, in particular.
the influence of the Danes, whose very
word, "law." has outlasted the Anglo
Saxon doom" and the Roman "lex."
In the nineteenth century, when Troll
lope wrote, these various amalgama-
tions came to full flower.
The English people at that time were
proud of their past, all of it, and ca
pable, aggressive and poetic.
Their nature lowered into poetry as
easily as the rose expands in sunlight.
They had their own ideas of right
conduct as well as Of rights" as such:
the world they had built seemed very
good to them, the result Of much living,
stress and strain, capped by happiness.
In the main.
It was true that there were great
depths Of distress, but this seemed q
part Of the picture to all Of them, even
the abused ones.
It was true that there was q great
deal Of hypocrisy, but wasn't 1t also a
part of human nature as it is?
This is the sort of world Anthony
Trollope writes about.
If there was hypocrisy, there also
was nobility.
If there was man mean enough
to steal another's reputation away from
him, there also was some one to resent
1t and bring the villain to justice.
This idea Of justice as one Of the
great things Of human life holds perfect
sway over all Victorian literature.
Inasfar as We have strayed from that

One Of the best Of the older novelists
for cold weather reading is still Anthony
Trollope.

and the other Victorian England greats
of the literary world gives as easy read
ing as ever.
His characters have real human
side, and his novels manage "snow-
ball" effect despite their basic slowness.
as Judged from modern standards.
After all, modern ideas of the novel
are no better ideas than those held by
good writing men hundred years ago.
In fact, some of our modern ideas are
seen to be pretty phony. We lack, as
novelists. evidently, the saneness Of ap-
proach and deep sympathy which
marked the writer's of old.
The fine thing about the old Trollope
novels, and the tales Of the fictional
county he made famous, Is that they are
so essentially human.
Here we have people as they are. the
basic people of our English speaking
world.
This is world all its own.

mold, so will these stories Of justice in
flower come to have meaning for us.
Our nasty little novels with 1.470
nasty words in 800 pages may strike
us as sophisticated and they may make
their authors millions of dollars (of
which the Government takes most) but
they are no tribute to the English
speaking world.
Any reader who\ gets engaged with
Trollope should look up the old fell
lows autobiography.
Here he tells candidly-a feat, in his
day-just how much money he made
on each of his nearly 100 novels, a
formidable amount for a day when
money was worth more and where the
worker was allowed to keep all that
he made.
Trollope, as successful and famous
writer, came to America. and in the
trip visited Utah, where Brigham Young
had just established his colony.
When the typical John Bull figure
knocked at Young's door. the old man
within listened In silence as Trollope
introduced himself.
"Are you miner?" asked Brigham
Young.
II am Anthony Trollope." replied the
novelist. II write books"
Innocently enough, he supposed that
every one in the English-speaki world
had heard Of him, but in this he was
mistaken.
"Oh. miner, I guess" said the
American. and that terminated the
interview.

row, and that broader Interpretation Of
the law should be obtained. It would seem,
however, that President G. Rowland Shaw
of the Mental Health Association is more
to the point. In his letter to The Star,
printed on this page today, he suggests that
the Commissioners be prepared with an ap-
propriate amendment of the law, and that
Congress in January be asked to approve it.
The Commissioners Congress, and the
medical schools Of George Washington and
Georgetown Universities have already un-
dertaken program to make the psychiatric
division at District General Hospital real
asset to the community. Their progress in
that direction should not be imperiled by
any difference Of opinion over the meaning
of existing statutes. The statutes should be
changed to provide for whatever authority
is needed for the treatment Of mental pa
tients, involuntary as well as voluntary.

Personal Victory in Maryland

His reelection is in the nature of per-
sonal triumph for Governor McKeldin. He
has accomplished something that no Re-
publican Governor of Maryland was able
to do before, in winning second term. A
Democrat, C. Ferdinand Sybert, defeated
Edward o. E. Rollins for the attorney gen.
eralship. With Representative Small de-
feated and Representative Hyde barely
hanging on (at this writing) to his small
lead, there are indications of a generally
Democratic trend. It could follow that
If Governor McKeldin achieved a personal
victory, DR.. Byrd suffered personal defeat.
Yet DR.. Byrd did better against the Gov
ernor than the preceding Democratic as
pirant, former Governor William Preston
Lane. jr.
It may be that no Democrat will be
elected Governor of Maryland until the
Democrats iron out the division among
themselves centering around George P.
Mahoney. But any Democrat running
against Mr.. McKeldin knows he is in for
fight. The Governor has made an accept
able record in Office, and he is skilled
campaigner with silver tongue and a way
with the voters. DR.. Byrd never was able
to capitalize the advantages that seemed
to lie with him last spring. He may have
started out on the wrong foot, with the pos
sibly arrogant statement that "I've got
more to offer this job than the job has to
offer me. . don't believe it is necessary
to run around the State inportuning every
Tom, Dick and Harry" Mr.. Mahoney made
him realize that Tom, Dick and Harry
needed some importuning, and Governor
McKeldin showed him how it was done.
DR.. Byrd never came up to expectations as
a campaigner himself.

Treatment for the Mentally III

There has never been any doubt in
anybodyS mind that the psychiatric division
of District General Hospital should treat"
as well as detain and observe, involuntary
mental patients who are brought there. But
the Corporation Counsel, asked for an opin-
ion, is unable to find precise legal author
ization for such treatmert-and that leaves
the whole future of the psychiatric division
up In the air.
There may be those who feel that the
Corporation Counsel's opinion was too mar
Evening star., 1954-11-03

should "stick together" and "settle
vital issues like that of Germany and
disarmament" and then rely on "the
Security Council and the General AS
sembly" to maintain these essential
conditions of peace"
The last time the great powers at
tempted disarmament it resulted in
Pearl Harbor. Changes in weapons
since then make repetition of such
gullihility an assurance of utter disaster
for the non-aggressor. And you know
who that is!
The folly of disarmament has been
historically reviewed and demonstrated
by William Hard in a recent Readers
Digest. Nationally as well as histori-
cally, disarmament is demonStrable
folly in the absence Of world govern
ment which eliminates the powers"
great and small, precisely as our Amer
ican Constitution (plus our Civil War;
eliminated the independence Of State
governments, great and small.
Power, balanced or unbalanced, can
never assure peace. Sticking to-
gether" under treaty-law is impossible.
If reliance on armament to assure
peace is silly, reliance on disarmament
is only more so.
Permanently established peace de-
pends upon fully organized government,
not upon any mere "bill Of rights" to
be sustained by a dictatorship Of the
majority (of the 'proletariatD or of
great leaders" in socialism, fascism,
communism, or any other ism. Colonial
conditions in the New World were sup
pressed by an institutional pattern
which alone can serve to suppress such
conditions in the whole world. Peace
full co-existence is impossible. Such
wishful thinking can only spell dis
aster for civilization.
