Dear Sir:
what do you think Of these outdoor
fireplaces? We have friends who have
one, and they insist on US coming
around and eating, and we all get ants
in our hamburger sandwiches, and
usually q pickle or something falls on
our clothes, and the seats are uncom-
Portable, and all in all the whole thing
strikes me as pretty dismal.
st would like to have your opinion.
I Sincerely, J. c.
The outdoor fireplace has gained an
honored place in the modern American
back yard.
It is more honored than used, how
ever.
After one has been established, with
much clanking of iron against stone
and brick, it is used nightly for time.
Usually this period is about one
month.
You would think. to watch the folks
eat. that indoor eating had lost all
its charms. Somehow everybody wants
to eat outdoors. There is q freshness
to the air out there, naturally enough
If you don't find the air fresh outdoors,
At is because somebody is burning trash
at an inopportune hour-or running
an outdoor fireplace.
The initial pun of smoke is pretty
bad, but after the thing gets going. the
] smoke SINNERS down to q COO trickle
toward the heavens.

This and That

The fireflieS come in to their doom,
and drop down into the cream pitcher.
Somehow coffee never tastes quite right
in the great outdoors, for some reason
or other we have not determined. May
be coffee doesn't taste right any more.
That seems to be the usual fate today
of SO many things, nothing is ever made
better, everything is made worse.
r.,
The ants begin to crawl into the
store-bought angel food cake, which is
a pretty soggy sticky mass Of no par
ticular taste, adorned or reasonable
facsimile Of same with q dubious tan
concoction said on the label to be
icing.
Ants tend to fade away with dark
ness, but not the mosquitoes. These
have been lurking all day long in the
forsythia bush. and now is their time
to come out and enjoy their favorite
food. This food, Of course, is not cake.
or pickles, or even coffee. but meat,
and not meat on the hoof but strictly
on human beings.
Now. there are people and people.
and some of them are so tOugh-skinned
that no probosis Of any insect can
penetrate the outer defense they put
up against the world.
Then there are the thin-skinned
people. who suffer outrageously from
mosquitoes. fleaS and others.
These usually are kindly persons, we
believe, whose mental dffenses are even
more fragile than their Aims.

But it is more than a question Of
fragility.
Chemistry. comes to the fore. These
sensitive folks are the victims Of what
may be called faulty chemical equa-
ton. They are actually made Ill by the
products injected into them.
Their malady is akin to what the
doctors call serum sickness. a very
dangerous thing.
And these poor souls are those who
are laughed at heartily by their tougher
friends!
A time comes, however, when even
the thick-skinned get enough Of dining
outdoors.
Mother, who has had to lug out all
the dishes and food and clear it all
away, has had enough Of 1t for long
time. She is ready to call it OF, and
thinks of her nice clean kitchen and
splendid dining room as Of some far
of country known to all but seldom
visited.
No, Jackie, the outdoor fireplace has
its limitations, which all who have one
will admit, at least in secret. and all
who are lured by one win find out ulti-
mately, not exactly to their sorrow
perhaps. but at least they win ma out.
After the outdoor fireplace honey
moon, it will stand there gathering
moss for the( est Of. time. q monument

Rapid Reuding Emphasized

Referring to your front-page article
Of June 8, by Francis p. Douglas, titled
"Speedier Reading Suspected Of Sacri-
f1cing Spelling" If our language is to
be kept alive, a mirror Of our own
vitality, it must be kept out Of the
hands of those who would place form
above context.
The first, and the only really i'm
portant thing, that any one should in
sist on getting from an educational
system, is to learn to think. To think
means in part to comprehend that
which is read. It has been pretty con-
cluSively proven that when reading is
improved-when q persons reading
speed increases, permanently~their
comprehension also increases.
Ours has become a world held to-
gether by paper. We are showed under
every day by letters, notes, memos, re-
ports, circulars, plans, maps, news
papers. books, magazines one can
double or triple that list-and to func-
read and understood.
won't go into the absurd complex
ties Of English Spelling-G. B. Shaw
did that with great effect and wit a
long time ago-except to say that !
think it is far more important to under
stand all the words we see than 1t is
to be able to spell correctly, being bound
in the spelling by rules and customs
handed down from the very beginnings
of our written language, all Of the words
we write.

French Lesson in FutiIity

The current political crisis in France, where
the politicians now are scurrying around In an
attempt to organize their twentieth government
in the 10 years since the liberation, is monu-
mental lesson In futility.
No doubt some kind of government will
be patched up and put into office. But 1t win
not be able to govern in any real sense Of the
term. For the French-if one may Judge from
past performance-do not trust and do not
want strong executive. They prefer the in
decision, the weakness and the political chaos
which go with National Assembly whose 627
seats are divided more or less evenly among
six parties Naturally, no party can govern
and, in fact, there can be no government at
all except through expediently formed coali-
tions-coalitions which collapse whenever a
hard decision must be made or a real sacrifice
is called for. Nor is there anything new about
this. The politicking which has been Gripping
France since the liberation is merely revival
and extension of the politicking which left the
country unready for and unable to cope with the
shock of Nal assault. Perhaps sheer distress,
if nothing else, will bring better things in the
future But the outlook is not bright. France
is well on her way to becoming prize exhibit
in refutation of the notion that political free
dom and successful self-government automa1-
cally go hand in hand.
Meanwhile, the SITUATION Is one WHICH Calls
for some anxious questioning on our part. What
does the fall of the Laniel government do to
the concepts on which our global planning has
been based? At the heart of the failure lie two
main considerations. One is the unwillingneSS
of the French to carry on the war in 1ndo-
China. The other is French opposition to the
European Defense Community.
If, as seems probable, new government
energies which is openly opposed to EDO, the
time will have come for one OF those agon1zing
reappraisals of which Mr.. Dulles has spoken.
For there can be no EDO without France, and
the prospect of German collaboration is fading
while the French stall. This means that we
may be forced to the conclusion that France Is
unreliable as an ally in the defense OF Western
Europe In that event, much effort will have
been wasted, and exceedingly distasteful new
moves will have to be made.
The lesson of French futility, for US, Is even
more pointed in the case of Indo- China. A
weak government in Paris and q weak govern
ment in Wet Nam have added up to nothing
but failure in the long Indo- China war. All
hope of good settlement at Geneva has been
blasted, and we must expect new French gov
eminent to seek peace at almost any price.
Was not all this rather obvious when we
seemed on the verge Of intervening in the war?
i And If we had INTERVIEWED where, under the
circumstances, would we be now? Surely there
is an instruction here on the virtues Of caution
and on the great danger, from the military
standpoint, that is inherent in biting on more
than one can chew.

CunuI Rood

A project vital to human welfare, de-
tense and utility, is being considered
by the National Capital Regional Plan
ming Council, which every person and
organization interested in such things
Cncluding The Star, which has done
such excellent work in promoting hui
man welfare) should work fora road
along the C. & o. Canal. These are the
reasons:
It is ideally situated along the canal,
where there are practically no cross
roads or bridges, for uninterrupted now
of traffic. The very practical setup of
the contested area around New York
City. which has express roads along
its waterways successfully carrying
huge traffic loads, should be followed
here, and along other waterways In
Washington.
Instead Of winding park road, it
should be made into q Superh1ghWay
to the West. If necessary, it should
take the place of the proposed Route
24O, nearby. This would solve the prob
lem of not having it go through al
ready built-up residential districts.
which is SO bitterly protested; and it
would carry interstate traffic completely
around Washington, instead OF even
tually right through it, as the proposed
road through Rock Greek Park and
Wisconsin avenue would.
The possibilities for development
here for recreational and athletic facil-
tiles are marvellous, because Of the
beauty of the countryside, proximity
to the city, and wide acreage available.
It should be concentrated on to the ex-
clusion of other less desirable areas
here, including Rock Greek Park, whose
facilities are very poor in comparison.
No place is more in need of these facil-
tiles than Washington where there is
little in the way of natural winter or
summer sports, and pitifully little has
been done to develop man-made ones.
Part of this wide area could be used
very advantageously to train all our
young men and women for defense
service, on week ends. and with field
maneuvers in summer.

Labor Under the Law

The Supreme Courts SiX-to-tWo decision In
the Laburnum Construction Corporation case
constitutes a sharp warning to irresponsible
labor organizers that Federal labor relations
laws will not protect them from damage suits
for wrongful tactics. It is hard to understand
why there could have been any dissenting opin-
ions on this fragrant example. of violent union
ism in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Even the
dissenters conceded that the union had used
unfair labor practices, specifically threats and
the force of picket line to make employees join
a union contrary to their desires" But that
was not all. The threats and actions put the
Laburnum firm out of business in the Kentucky
mine fields The majority Of the court rightly
held that the offending union could-and
should-be held accountable for damages done
the firm.
Justice Burton, on behalf of the majority
with Justice Jackson taking no part in the de-
cision) upheld the Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals in affirming an award of $129,326 COM
pensatory and punitive damages to the La
burnum concern, Virginia corporation The
United Construction Workers, an affiliate OF the
United Mine Workers, appealed the monetary
award on the ground that the Labor Manage
ment Relations Act of 1947 gave the National
Labor Relations Board exclusive jurisdiction In
all such labor disputes, even to the extent OF
precluding tort litigation in State courts. The
majority ruled to the contrary.
In the light Of the shocking events detailed
In the majority opinion, the unions claim to
immunity from damage liability was presump-
tuous to say the least. The facts as established
by the evidence, were that the Laburnum hrm
after being awarded a 100000 mine construc-
ton project and being promised second job
involving 100000 in Breathitt County, entered
into an agreement with American Federation OF
Labor unions for hiring workers: that when the
first contract was nearly completed in July of
1949 the UNIV affiliate suddenly announced its
intention Of CLOSING down" the project unless
the ALL was thrown out and the UNIV union
given control that the threats were carried out
by ga very rough, boisterous crowd" some MEM
bers Of which used abusive language, were drunk
and carried guns and knives: that as result OF
the demonstrations the mining companies,
themselves threatened with being closed down,
reluctantly Cancelled further contracts with the
Laburnum outfit.
Despite this factual background the mi
nority commended that Congress intended only
to give the NLRB what in this case would have
been ineffective authority to act. Granting
apprieved parties the right to sue the dissenting
opinion said, would only keep old wounds
open." But the majority effectively settled the
question Of congressional intent by quoting
statements Of the late Senator Taft and other
advocates of the legislation that clearly showed
that the Federal law was designed to supple
ment, not supplank State laws. including those
providing for civil damage suits.
