1888 by his recognition Of Communist

Mr.. Lankford also took care not to
mention the Kisses, the Whites, the
Remingtons, to mention a few OF the
many Reds who wormed their way into
top key Government positions during
the Roosevelt Truman so-called Demo-

Harry Bridges as being tried and con-
victed by the Democrats but he said
nothing about the Democratic admins

Anti-Mccorthy's Who's Who

Recently Stephen NJ Smith ques-
toned a statement of mine in a letter
to The Star to the effect that almost all
intellectual leaders seem to be against
Senator Mccarthy and challenged me
to name some OF these "intellectuals."
From professional journals, statements
of university presidents, doctors, law
yers of high caliber, ETC., there could be
many, many more. But here are few
samples:
DR.. Charles Mayo, chief of the Mayo
Clinic, referring directly to McCarthy's
charges against Secretary Stevens: "It's
getting to be most difficult thing in
this country to accept appointment to
Government service. You subject your
self to such indignities and insults and
untruths."
DR.. Robert L. Johnson, president of
Temple University, lin letter to Sena-
tor Mccarthy: THE reputation of the
American people has suffered enough as
a result of irresponsible charges and
actions in connection with our program
abroad. The only group that has
gained through these wicked attacks has
been the Communist international
movement. It Is one of the tragic
ironies of our time that some of those
who are in the forefront Of the fight
against communism are among those
who are damaging the action programs
that do battle against it,"
Father Robert c. Hartnett, editor of
America, the Jesuit weekly: THAT
Senator Mccarthy, without shred of
warrant, set out to smear the reputa-
ton of Gov. Stevenson -. seems
:. simply incontrovertible."
Walter Mills. distinguished military
analyst of the New York Herald
Tribune: This really vital and sensitive
military installation Fort Monmouth)
has been wrecked-more thoroughly
than any Soviet saboteur could have
dreamed of doing it-by the kind of
anti-communism of which Senator Nc
Cartly has made himself the leader"

Harvard University, in several state
ments.

neer in West Virginia.
A telegram from Chicago to The
Star Of October %. 1904, announced
that DR.. 8. Banks,
Oldest Stotue field director Of the

expedition to Baby
lonia. had discovered b statue which
he regards as the oldest in the
world" The find was unearthed about
eight feet below the ruins Of the ancient
city of Udnun. near the present village
Of Bismya, and was identified from an
inscription as being an ef6gy Of King
Daddu. Carved in pure white marble,
the figure weighed 200 pounds and was
almost prefect." The city Of Udnun

Spires of the Spirit
The Third Day

Today'S weather report is never the
chief concern Of the worlds great be-
levers. But they are absolutely sure
about the day after tomorrow.
Earth's saddest day and earth's
gladdest day were but one day apart.
The victorious tenet of the Christian
creed is: The Third Day Cometh!
That means truth may be banished but
never vanquished: crushed to earth,
it will rise again. It is immortal.
Again and again history proves that
there Is no force equal to the pulyeriz-
ing impact of facts. The most devas-
tating explosive in the world Is truth.
It is a time bomb. III.
There are certain baSeless theories,
with no support in the nature Of things:
and which. therefore, at last must be
discredited. There are other valid
conceptions for which the very stars
in their courses fight. To live and die
for these spiritual yerities is to be on
the side Of the angels. This is not to
claim that all those who accept the
revealed truth about man and God are
angels and that those who reject it
are devils. Let us sadly confess that
the denials of so-called democracy by
some who march under its banners are
many and grievous. But that Is not
the point. The fundamental fact in
the present global struggle is that the
slave system which stems from the
Soviet conspiracy is based upon pal
pable economic and ethical falsehoods.
Even science is forced to sip the cup.
of political poison.
The doctrines of the free world,
based on the truth of that immortal
phrase. "All men are endowed by their
Creator with certain ina1ienable rights"
rest upon eternal truth. And so the
foul system which, for the time being.
is entrenched behind iron curtains
because 1t is afraid of the light Of
truth, is already doomed. There Is
falsehood at the heart Of 1t. It is built
upon lie. It rises no higher than the
strength Of puly man. and that is
sinking sand.
The truth is that all human rights
are rooted in the Creator. Freedom is
not commodity to be doled out by
dictators. It is God-given. Without
recognition Of that kinship to the COM
mon Father who is the fountain of all
freedom, inevitably the lie of coercive
regimentation will rush into the
vacuum. There is "a God-shaped
blank" in every life.
Any organization of society, no mat
ter what its alleged distant goals,
which today defiles and debases man

delivered by Com

St. Louis Speech Mcfarland at the
District of Co

Almost in the center of the original

of stone higher than any other in the
world, symbolic not only of the life of
George Washington but of the city
which he founded. =. From it's win

can see almost the entire District of
Columbia without glass. Athens or
Rome was smaller when it ruled the
world. But. although the District has
more people than any of six Of the
States - Delaware, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah and Nevada-and
than any Of the Territories, 1t is smaller
than any other political division of the
United States The District does not
stand for material riches, but it is
rich in intellectual and spiritual
wealth, in good government, good So

grace, noble memories and glorious
history. It stands, In strength and SIM

Appeals to Eisenhower-Democrut

Democrats for Eisenhower undoubt-
edly have 1t in their power to determine
IN Tuesdays election the political COM
plexion of our next Congress. For their
vote added to the normal Republican
vote gave Eisenhower and Nixon the
margin needed for victory in the presi-
Dental election two years ago.
These Democrats, South and North
turned from their former party align
ment because they opposed the Com
nunist-Socialist infiltration in their
Government. Their party leadership
had put them in three foreign wars,
had regimented the country, burdened
it with huge debt. had created a vast
bureaucracy at home, had consolidated
great proportion of the people of the
globe into violent hostility against the
United States.
Republicans offered candidate ex-
perienced in warfare who promised re-
lief from graft, corruption, inefficiency
in government from the growing cancer
Of imitation which was rotting away the
buying power Of wages, of life insur-
ance, of bonds, of savings in banks, of
pensions and social security checks.
1t is fair to say that considerable
start has been made to get and keep
the country out of war; to cut out
waste in government; to keep stable
the buying power of the dollar.
In this mid-term election the inde-
pendent Democrat should vote not a
straight ticket, but should oppose the
demagogues in both parties. For sane
party government can only be effected
by the votes in House and Senate of
sane and sound Republicans and Dem
ocrats. A radical, Socialist Communist

The man of science is in sad quandry

the truth" Not q nail or spear
touched His truth. No instrument of
ignominy could impede His conuuering
way. On two crossed beams of wood,
plus a spoiled and beaten grave, for
the centuries to see, God wrote: The
Third Day Comes
Almost anything can happen In any

The credo of the Third Day rings in
Gladstone's defiant challenge, when
the reform bill on which his heart

feat: "You cannot fight against the
future. Time is on our side. The
great social forces move onward in

Wicked men, with the power of
totalitarian empire backing their hate,
did not finish Jesus on pear-shaped
hill outside the city wall. Nothing is
finished until truth and justice, good

can finish anything. Ye enSlaved mil
lions, who faint with the fetters of
todays anguish and cry, "How long,
o Lord how long?" Lift up your heads.

Even now the truth which emanci-
pates is writing, on the walls Of the
most obscene thralldom the ages have
ever seen, the ancient prophecy of
doom: Your agreement with hell shall
not stand. Your refuge Of lies shall
be swept away" Ogden Nash, in a
striking poem on the CHASTITY horrors
of mans unhumanity to man, has his
eyes on the place called Calvary, as he
writes:

integrotion and School Enrolment

Elsewhere in today's Star news story,
supported by tables, discusses the drop in
white enrolment in the public schools CO.
incident with the abandonment of segrega-
ton. The Star does not attempt any inter-
probation of its own, beyond pointing to the
obvious fact that the sharp drop of 81 per
cent in the white enrolment, largest decline
IN the known history of the school system,
has been recorded simultaneously with inte-
grafton, and that study Of individual
schools indicates pattern wherein the
largest drops in white enrolment are in the
schools which show the greatest percentage
OF colored pupils. Whether or not this Is a
temporary condition, rejecting the imme-
date impact of integration, or whether the
decrease In white enrolment will continue,
is not known. But the effect is an impor-
tant part of any study of integration in the
public school system, and that effect should
be presented candidly and periodically by
surveys conducted by the public school
statisticianS Any disposition on the part of
school administrators to avoid the compila-
ton and publication of such statistics should
receive the most careful examination of the
school board. A segregated school system
In Washington is thing of the past. But

mate right to know all the facts, as they

true that he has made only
one picture since he won the

here, preparing and filming

time is spent in preparing

They have already canned
