logic early had become partners in au-
thorship we ask why should this bril-
liant man. who could have ministered
to the whole world In several skilled
fields, have to cut his career In two and
disappear In the oblivion Of Central
Africa-going to people who could not
possibly appreciate so gifted and tower
ing q personality-Why? Because-Al
the massed arguments Of human wis
dom cannot stop conservation like
that which has blazed across the long
years in his loving heart.
Less and less we depend on the be-
liefs we hold, and more and more on
the faith that holds us. Paschal long
ago put it succinctly: "The heart has
reasons which the reason does not
know" The heart acts-because.
How utterly inadequate is a list of
qualities as an explanation Of why two
people fall in love! Such a category
does not come within celestial hailing
distance OF the real reason. The song
sometimes heard sweetly caroled amid
the scent of blossoms just before the
bride and groom keep their trySt at the
sacred altar suggests loves secret. Each
verse Of that love song is sprinkled with
Because" AS the high moment draws
near the sanctuary is filled with q con-
flagration Of Because-Because:
Because God made thee mine I'll
cherish thee,
Through light and darkness, through
all time to be,
And pray His lone may make our loUe
divine,
Because God made thee mine.
And on that lofty peak of human
love we come face to face with that
Love divine, all loves excelling. i. :. Shall
we say reverently that in because
there is the echo of the infinite love
of the Father God. Awed by that love,
Moses started out to explain why God
so loved the children of Israel that He
planned to make them the channels of
His grace for all nations. One has
called the attempt Of the great law
maker to explain that mystery zone
Of the most delightfully."- illogical and
inconsequent attempts at reasoning
that has ever been heard"
X X
So, let us close with the explanation
Moses made of that boundless love !:
"The Lord did not set His love upon
you because ye were more in number
than any people. for ye were the fewest
Of all people. But the Lord set His
love upon you BECAUSE the Lord loves
you." There it is. Human language
can do no better. A goth century
theologian cannot improve it: God
loves because He loves. He loves
BECAUSE!

Summer Movie Program

The District Of Columbia Recreation
Board again wishes to thank The Star
for the cooperation given in connection
with the Summer Movie Program.
This Is one of the most popular Of
the summer programs. since it attracts
not only children and youth, but also
the family as a group. It is interesting
to note that attendance in the latter
category increased considerably this
past summer. The Board is indeed
grateful to The Star for its continued
support of the Summer Movie Program,
and it is hoped that we may rely on this
valuable assistance next year.

Clear Up the Uncertainty

The Commissioners were justified In
asking the full bench of the United States
Court of Appeals to rehear the Districts
appeal of a lower courts decision in the
Bullock retirement case. The several pro-
visions of law governing retirement and
pensioning of police officers are somewhat
conflicting, as both the majority and minor
ity opinions of the three-judge appellate
court said. Every effort should be made to
eliminate any uncertainty as to the mean
ing of present statutes And II, as the two
to-one majority Of the appeals tribunal
held, existing law is to be construed as re-
quiring the pensioning Of such an officer as
former Inspector Albert Bullock proved to
be, the law should be changed to prevent
recurrence of this sort of anomaly.
Appellate Judges Edgerton and Miller
ruled that District Court Judge Holtzoff
was correct in upholding Bullock's right to
full pension benefits, including the part
paid from public funds Both they and dis
senting Judge Fahy sought to interpret the
intent of Congress in stating that an officer
who has reached the age of SIS after Is
years of duty, may, at his election, be re-
tired from the service and shall be
entitled to receive retirement compensa-
ton" The majority ruled that this Ian
guage gave the Commissioners no discre-
ton, once an officer applied for retirement
and pension. Judge Fahy interpreted the
wording to mean that final approval rested
with the Commissioners, and that pension
could be denied "for good cause" The ma
jority conceded that Inspector Bullock had
behaved ILL.," ..e
Since the pension provisions enacted
over period of years are subject to varying
interpretations as indicated, it would be
in the public interest for the full Court of
Appeals to pass judgment on the law. And
if the law today is found to deny the Com
n1issioners any discretion in the retirement,
on pension, of police officer in the circum-
stances of the Bullock case, Congress ought
to correct the law at the earliest practicable
opportunity.

Stirred by Report From Formosu

One day recently, while my three
children, my wife and I. endured the
heat, flies and happy crowds, to enjoy
the natural splendor of Great Falls,
our efficient Army was staging a spec
tacle Of a different kind. about 5000
miles to the West.
The dispatch from Formosa informs
that one Maj. Gen. William C.. Chase,
U. s. A., delivered the first of hun
dreds of landing craft, with United
States engines, to the Nationalist gov
ernment of China, in the presence of
foreign representatives.
This impressive ceremony, according
to the dispatch, followed a two-hour
parade of goose stepping Chinese, who
undoubtedly were celebrating their
native-moon festival.
The sturdy Chinese laddies were fit
ted out in sparkling steel helmets,
United States combat boots, and the
new United States Army grass-green
uniforms.

Election in Guatemala

The Guatemalans have now voted over
whelmingly in favor of democratic system
Of social, educational, political and eco
nomic reconstruction designed to deal effec-
lively with the Communist menace and
promote the general welfare of their coun-
try. They have done so by electing &C.
member constituent assembly and by cast
Ing an avalanche of ballots to retain
Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas as President.
This is far cry from the time-only
few months ago-When Guatemala was in
acute danger of being transformed into the
first full-f1edged MarxiSt State in the Amer
icas. That was when President Arbenz and
his sinister Kitchen cabinet" of Kremlin-
serving Reds were riding high down there
fast on their way toward converting the
country into a Soviet beachhead in the
Western Hemisphere. But then Colonel
Castillo and his revolutionary group sue
cessfully resorted to direct action to over
throw the Arbenz regime, outlaw the Com
mun1stS and set up temporary military
iunta pledged to establish democratic rule.
The vote just held-although admit
tedly below the balloting standards of ad-
vanced mocracieS-repreSentS the first
important step toward fulfilling that pledge.
The, assembly now will have the task of
writing new constitution and arranging
to supplant the junta's rule with fully
constituted anti-Communist government.
Meanwhile, since he seems to have strong
backing from all quarters, including the
army, President Castillo should be able to
do much in laying the groundwork for his
promised and much-needed program of
Guatemalan reforms-a program likely to
receive ample aid from our own country.

Plain Talk to the Formers

It is questionable, OF course, whether
such rather intangible bloc votes as the
farm vote, labor vote and so forth are in
fiuenced greatly by campaign oratory. More
often perhaps, when they do swing In any
large majority toward one party, 1t is for
some basic economic reason that cannot be
altered by laSt-minute partisan speeches.
# straightforward campaign appeal can
be broadly effective on special-interest
segment Of voters however, President Ell
senhower has helped his party's cause In
his farm speech at indianapolis.
AS campaign address 1t was q brief
and well organized talk. The President
emphasized first the mutuality Of interests
between farmers and all other citizen
groups. He recalled next his own back
ground as farm boy. and the differences
between farming then and today. But If
the address does have an impact upon the
farm vote, that probably will be traceable
to the next three sections in which the
President did the following: u) Explained
how and why farm costs and income had
become dislocated, to the disadvantage OF
the farmer; (2) listed the legislation and
other actions under his Republican admin
.istration which are calculated to help the
farmers; (3) outlined some OF the things
which may still be done by his administra-
ton to help the farmers further.
It has been pointed out by other G. o. p
speakers that the rising costs and falling
prices which have brought poorer, days to
the Nations farmers were well on the march,
before the Democrats were defeated in 1882
In fact, the rigid price support law which
the Republican Congress has replaced with
flexible formula still is in effect until the
end of this crop year and there is no evil
dence, as the President pointed out, that
it would do in the future what 1t has failed
to do in the past. There Is, however, a
certain reasonableneSs to the argument
that "uneconomic production" encouraged
by two wars and by the high price support
law, has been a great factor in hurting the
farmers. While the Republican administra-
tion's program for combating this problem
-disposihg of some of the tremendous sur
pluses and discontinuing encouragement to
overproduction-haS yet to be tried for
sufficient time to prove itself, 1t appears to
promise an improvement over the record
of the post-Korea period.
One suggestion of future action listed
by the President was to give more help to
the small farmers" It is a point which
might have political appeal in an area of
family-owned farms since it has been esti-
mated that most of the Government bene-
fits under previous farm programs have
gone to absentee owners or others who were
engaged in farming in big business sense.
In his farm message to Congress last
January, the President estimated that two
million of these large and highly mechan-
lied farm units were the chief benef1ciaries
of past policies, while 3.5 million smaller
farm operators received little or nothing.
If there is a farm bloc" lot of it might
be found-and lstening-among these 3.5
million voters.

British See Early Use
|Of Atom 10 Replace Coal
sy the As.osia.sd Press

LONDON, Jan. IA British
government report says that
within 20 years. nuclear energy
MAY provide about a fourth Of
Britain's estimated power needs.
The 100-page report. entitled
"Britain's Atom Factories" was
made public yesterday. It was
written by Kenneth Jay. A.
principal scientific officer at the
big Harwell atom research plant.
Mr.. Jay said nuclear fuel
might be developed in the next
two decades to produce as much
electricity as 20 million tons OF
coal. This Is the amount by
which Britain's coal production
is expected then to fall short Of
the country's needs.
If certain assumptions turn
out to be valid. Mr.. Jay added,
sit might ultimately be possible
completely to replace coal by
nuclear fuel for the generation
of electrical power in the United
Kingdom"
British Supply Minister Dun
can Sandys said in a foreword to
Mr.. jays report that Britain
had moved in the past year from
the purely research stage into
regular atomic energy produc-
ton.
