Buying Friends Abroad

Will some one inform the innocent
mass of the public as to the meaning
of the Point 4 program, its purposes
and who are the sponsors of the move
ment?
United States News and World Re-
port plainly points out that If Italy
goes Communist, Russia will get SIS
billion worth of arms and munitions.
and a great munitions industry, all
furnished by our seemingly wasteful
Government from the American tax
payers pocket.
If this is what can happen in a
nation with as large and intelligent a
population as that of Italy, what can
be expected from the backward nations
supposed to be given technical assist
ance through Point 4? One would ex-
pect them to be much easier victims
OF the misleading propaganda of COM
muniSm by which Russia would get
more and more arms and power to
use against us when the right time
arrives. If we are supposed to be
buying friendship, that is likely to be
a costly fallacy. Guatemala was
friendly. but has now turned out to
be pushover for communism.
Why should we support, educate and
militarize half-civilized nations? That
is the proper term for those that kill,
MAIN and torture prisoners of war.
The stupendous cost of the Korean
war in lives and money is probably
mainly due to the fact that the Asiatics
learned practically all they know about
machine tools. the manufacture Of i'm
plements of war, radio, aviation, ex-
plosives, etc, from the United States.

Family Court
Stuart G. Wood.

I wish to commend The Star for
having sent Reporter John " Horner
to Toledo, Ohio, and Detroit, Mich.
to obtain f1rst-hand informat ton on
the domestic relations procedure in
those two cities.
Now that Mr.. Horner has completed
his investigation, I suggest that your
editorial writer's read the proposed bill
to establish family court for the Dis
trict of Columbia and comment hon
estly what. if any, changes appear in
that bill which would make the pro-
cedure in the proposed separate family
court any different from the procedural
powers now available to the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of Columbia
or which would prove a panacea to
domestic problems.

honest liberal President be destroyed

earthly rarely can present proof-we
will deserve the terrible results-results
which will forever wipe away America

HindSight this time is not good
enough. When your house has burned
to the ground. it is too late to call the
right fire department.
1t is sad to see The Star join the
left-wingers, but such seems to be the
case. For some time The Star has
opposed Senator Mccarthy. This is
evidenced by your cartoons and edi-
torials. OF course, no one questions
the right of The Star to it's opinion
on any subject. but let's not distort
the facts in the effort to discredit
Senator Mccarthy. AS Gould Lincoln
said in recent column, the time to
kick Mccarthy is when he is wrong,
not when he is right. And certainly to
no unbiased person is Mccarthy wrong
in the Peress affair. Even President
Eisenhower admitted that the Army
had bungled that situation. The Com
munists must get great comfort from
such conditions. Unfortunately, the
Republicans won't wake up until after
the November elections, and then it
will be too late. w. H. Shields.

This DespicobIe FroiIty

This is a period in history when all too
many men In public life-here in America and
abroad as well--act as if they were bereft of
sense OF balance, moderation or responsibility
They seem Unfortunately inclined to be ill-man-
nered, incorporate of tongue, vaingloriouS, and
In general unreStrained as critics and oppoSerS
who strongly tend to divide, tear down and
obstruct rather than unity, build up or do
affirmative things calculated to promote good
society Of ordered freedom. But they are not
the unique products of our own age. On the
contrary, although they appear to be more
numerous now than ever before, their kind has
been abundant in other times, and one of the
best commentaries on them dates back to 17s8
when Alexander Hamilton wrote the following
in the Federalist:
Men often oppose thing, merely because
they have had no agency in planning it, or
because it may have been planned by those
whom they dislike. But if they have been
consulted, and have happened to disapprove,
opposition then becomes, in their estimation,
an indispensable duty of Self-love They seem
to think themselves bound in honor, and by
all the motives of personal infallibility, to
defeat the success of what has been resolved
upon contrary to their sentiments Men of
upright, benevolent tempers have too many
opportunities of remarking, with horror to
what desperate lengths this disposition is
sometimes carried, and how often the great
interests of society are sacrificed to the vanity,
to the conceit, and to the obstinacy of indi-
viduals, who have credit enough to make their
passions and their caprices interesting to man
kind. Perhaps the question now before the
public may, in its consequences, afford mel
ancholy proofs Of the effects of this despicable
frailty, or rather detestable vice, in the human
character.
These words were penned in the founding
days of our Nation, when certain narrow
visioned Americans were striving, among other
things, to establish the presidency of the United
States on a foundation of weak powers. Hap
PLY, the question then before the public was
answered along the lines advocated by Hamilton
but his comment on reckless and irresponsible
opposition tactics is still very much to the point
as opposite to our own time as it was to his
More than few among us could do worse than
null 1t over. Indeed for that matter, they could
do worse than read and re-read all the superb
Federalist papers, If they did that then per-
haps our country might suffer less from the

Virqinio and the Belt Halfway

The National Capital Regional Planning
Council has good reason to be concerned over
Virginias tagging interest in the outer belt
highway project While Maryland has moved
to reserve rights Of way for this important loop
around the District and has included the road
in its approved highway program, the Virginia
Highway Commission has shown singular lack
of enthusiasm for the undertaking. More re-
Gently firm of conSultantS advised the COM
mission against proceeding with its part OF
the project
It was in view of this discouraging back
ground that the council, which includes repre-
Sentatives of Northern Virginia, decided to
make an urgent appeal to the State to ignore
the consultants' advice and proceed with plans
for the belt route The highway long advocated
by the National Capital Planning Commission
as a bypass around Washington for traffic
not desiring to enter the city, would curve
through Fairfax County from the proposed
Cabin John Bridge across the Potomac to the
proposed Jones Point span, at Alexandria. On
the Maryland side the belt would continue in a
wide arc through Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties, with special connections to
serve traffic over the new Washingto
more Parkway and the Washington National
Pike.
The Smith report to the Virginia Highway
Commission brushed aside the belt plan, insofar
as it affects Virginia, as unnecessary. The con-
sulting firm asserted in effect that its studies
had convinced it that the projected Cabin
John Bridge would not be justified by trafnc
demands Of the foreSeeable future and that,
therefore, the belt approach to such bridge
could be dismissed in present planning. But
virtually every other authority on the subject
disagrees with the Smith concept. There n

Maryland planners that the outer loop road is

You live the new idea instantly -. you glide

with the punch of the road in Chevrolet's new
Glide-Ride front suspension. And with outrigger
rear springs you experience new balance in turns
turns made so efortess by new ball-race steering.
And when you stop suddenly, new Anti-Dive
braking control checks that nosing down in front
you get more level stopping. Tubeless tires
mean much greater protection against blowouts.
And with new high-level ventilation (air intake
below the windshield instead of in the front gre),
there's fresher air.

Like most good ideas, this one is pretty simple.
But it wasn't an easy one to carry out For Chev-
rolet and General Motors set out with the idea of
building the first low-priced car that would do all
these things:
bring you the very freshest and finest styling
to be had.
bring you the most advanced engine design
and engineering features.
bring you the kind Of performance and the
kind of ride that haze never been available
before in low-briced car.
bring you the highest quality of manufacture
and materials.
All this in Cheuolet's price field? That did take
some doing! And isn't it logical that only the
worlds leading Car producers could do it that
only Chevrolet and General Motors have the
people, the sks, the resources and facilities, to
carry out this exciting new concept? Here is how
this new Chevrolet changes everything includ-
ing all your own ideas about cars!
