President Eisenhower told his news confer
ence last week that every action taken in the
atmosphere of loneliness which surrounds
today's international situation carries certain
risks. The remark was made during discus
sion of the sending of American military aid
to Indo-China and the fears expressed by some
that we may be "inching our way into shoot
ing war in that area.
We are supporting the French and Wet
Namese, the President explained, because they
are free peoples engaged in the worldwide battle
against communism. At the same time. he said,
every step of that support as authorized by him
is calculated to keep US out Of war rather than
to get us into one. He said further that he
could conceive of no greater tragedy than for
the United States to become heavily involved
in an about war in that region.
All of this sums up the dilemma posed by
the war in Indo-China. For nearly eight years,
France has been carrying the major load there
but the military advantage today appears to be
with the Wet Mini forces, repeatedly supplied
from Communist China. American aid to the
French and Wet Namese mostly in equipment,
has been stepped up substantially during the
past year. The assignment OF 200 military tech
nicians to service American combat aircraft
given to the French and native forces has
prompted the current concern about our fur
sized the men are not combat soldiers and that
they are to be withdrawn by mid-June.
Obviously, there is risk in sending per-
sonnet to an area so close to actual fighting.
Red Chinese troops are reported in strength
behind their own frontier. The presence of
American military personnel in Indo-China
might be used as an excuse for Chinese inter-
vention. If this should happen, the next and
final question might be whether we are prepared
to become an active belligerent or to accept the
loss of 1ndo-Chna to the Communists.
President Eisenhower's remarks, and others
by Secretary of Defense Wilson, indicate that
the risk in what we are doing has been calcu-
lated and that deeper involvement is not ex-
pected Mr. Wilson told news conference that
the fighting is going as well as expected, and
that military victory is "both possible and
probable" It is to be hoped that the calcula-
tons, and the estimates, are correct.

Monument to 'StonewoIl'

Being responsible for erection Of the
"Stonewall" jackson monument on the
Manassas battlefield. cannot re-
frain from replying to the letter pub
hshed in your paper on February 2,
entitled "Jackson's Sword Wrong, Too"
and signed Observer"
was president Of the Manassas
Battlefield Confederate Park, Inc. an
organization Of the Sons OF Confed-
crate Veterans. who owned 1.-THE Henry
Farm" upon which farm both the
first and second battles of Manassas
terminated within few hundred yards
of each other. and ! signed the deed
conveying this land to the United
States Government for national park.
My father was captain in Jacksons
cavalry and always had deep in
terest in this battlefield. and while
serving as State Senator from the
Counties Of Prince william. Fairfax
and Arlington and the City Of Alexan-
dria, in 1888. was responsible for OBJ
tanning an appropriation Of $4,000
from the State Of Virginia for erection
Of the jackson monument. The patrons
Of the bill were myself and Senator'S
Henry T. Wickham of Hanover County
and Aubrey q. Weaver Of Warren
County, Va.
Up to that time there was a board
on cedar tree (known as the Jack
son CEDAR with the inscription: upon
This Spot Stonewall Jackson Won His
Immortal Name"
1.-THE caliber Of the committee which
selected this statue Of Jackson" was
the Virginia Museum Of Fine Arts of
Richmond, Va, certainly one Of the
most outstanding commissions Of the
country. The commission wrote me
on February 4. 1889. that more than $50
sculptorS were interested in the COM
petition from all over the country, and
70 models were actually submitted to
the Fine Arts Commission. and the
model Of Joseph p. Pollia Of New York
received the award.
Much criticism has been received
concerning the horse in the monu-
ment. as Virginia cavaliers did not
usually mount horses Of this type But
must say that JackSon's "Old Sorrel,"
whose real name was Fancy. was not
thing of beauty, and do not believe
he would adorn monument Of this
character very satisfactorily. since he
was small and Ill proportioned, though
very strong.
The monument was chosen because
OF its strength and stability, and be-
cause it was felt that it typifled the
inscription thereon: There Stands
Jackson Like Stone Wall"

Acc and NSC

In period when our "new-look" military
establishment is placing primary emphasis on
nuclear and thermometer weapons common
sense suggests that the Atomic Energy Com
mission should have full and permanent repre-
Sentation on the National Security Council, the
country's top policy-making agency Oddly
enough, however, probably because of an over
sight at the time of passage of the 1947 act
creating the NSC, there is no legal provision
for such representation-an obvious deficiency
that certainly needs correction.
1t Is for this reason that Representative
Cole, who heads the joint Senate House Atomic
Committee, is sponsoring legislation to make
Lewis Strauss or any succeeding chairman of
the Acc full member Of the National Security
Council-"to serve as such no matter which
party has the presidency" The logic and sound
ness OF Such move can hardly be challenged
Certainly, as Mr. Cole has said, A-weaponS and
the hydrogen bomb are now at the very heart
of all our plans for military preparedness" and
it stands to reason that the agency chiefly re-
sponsible for development and production in
this vital field should be represented on the
NSC-regularly, permanently, not merely on
a limited and occasional basis as at present.
Mr.. Coles view has been strongly supported
by Thomas E. Murray, senior member of the
Acc, and there is good reason to believe that
his opinion is shared by the whole commission
President Eisenhower, who has had close as
ISOLATION with Chairman Strauss, presumably Is
in favor of the idea, too. It is an idea that
makes sense, and unless some good objections
can be raised against (which seems very
doubtful-Congress will do well to act favor
ably on it.

Time to Unite the Nation

Not since the Civil War has our
Nation been in so precarious state as
now. Our people failed to unite and
heed President Lincoln and Gen.
Robert E. Lee. Only few years after
1854 the people began to realize the
colossal penalty they must pay for
failure to follow the policies of these
patriots.
A clean, honest policy in Government
cannot be attained unless the people
comprehend Government issues and
support their President.
The President has taken herculean
job. He is Christian, humanitarian,
an international student and an Amer
lean.

Q. Are Mexican laborers allowed to
enter the United States legally for en-
ployment here?-C. T.
A. Yes. Last year over 100000 Mexi-
cans contracted to work in the United
States. They were recruited in Mex
leo, in centers jointly operated by the
two countries. In addition to these,
hundreds of thousands of "wetbacks"
slipped over the border without proper
permits.
@: When did Jews first settle in
the United States?-T. H. r.
A. While individual Jews had come
to the New World earlier, the first
band of settlers arrived in New Aim
sterdam on September IL, 1854. This
event is to be marked with special
celebrations this year in New York and

Evils of Drink

One wonders II sanity still exists in
America! The Senate is studying jul
Venile delinquency. It has become a
national problem. Our young people
are forming gangs of vandals and
hoodlumS. wrecking schools and making
highways shambleS.
In the report Of his investigation,
Joseph PAUL tells us that on the streets
OF Washington two illicit whiSkey
dealers recently apprehended were only
Is years Old" What story that would
have been under prohibition. "Of the
$1,000 arrests for drunkenness-o ne out
OF Is Of our citizens, of which IA were
less than 16 years old, there were many
who had not yet reached their 21st
year. Any war on crime" PAUL. adds,
must be battle against the excessive
use Of beverage alcohol" He also
stated that one pSychiatrist in the city
had said that if alcoholic beverages
were eliminated, rs per cent Of the
crime would disappear.
Paull's report added that there were
1000 arrests for bootlegging annually
in Washington, but if my memory
serves me rightly that was one of the
reasons why the 18th amendment was
repealed because there were a few blind
pigs and tigers about. We were prom
ised that bootlegging would disappear.
Why not be sane and eradicates this
social vice which advertiSes itself so
constantly on TV. the radio, colored
magazine ads. and the billboards, be-
sides forcing itself on our attention
every time we look at the paper? What
right has such business to propagan-
die our young people, and create more
alcoholics annually? Why not end its
tyranny over American thought before
it wrecks our Nation in this her hour
Of peril?

Buffers Burnstormino

" The recent transforming of the
senior Senator from Maryland. John
M. Butler. appears essentially para
doxlcal to this resident of that State.
l arrive at this conclusion in the face
OF Buffers supposed indignation at the
past two Democratic administrations
Whereupon he makes allegations to the
effect that these had betrayed that
which is good. true, and decent. It
appears to me, and indeed to many of
my friends hereabout. that the Sen
ator, who has recently been posing as
the great upholder of all that is honest,
righteous, sincere, and good, would
do well to remember his part, along
with Mccarthy and his ilk, in the
VIGOROUSLY dirty 1850 senatorial cam
paign which involved the use of the
big doubt" the big lie" techniques,
composite photo, etc.-all of which
assuredly cannot be classified as good
honest, sincere, and truthful.
Buffers support of McCarthyism is.
indeed. no surprise to me or to many
other Marylanders, nor would it be a
great shock to us if the junior Senator
from Wisconsin would again enter the
Free State in 1856 armed with his
usual hodgepodge of supposedly FAC
tual documents" assertions of positive
Democratic treason, allegations of
whlteWash, ETC.. to take up again the
cause of Butler.
The above certainly would not be
worthy OF comment, except for the
fact that all this is fast becoming
widespread; it has become d trend.
It would. indeed, be folly to disregard
the fact that communism presently is
the greatest threat to America, but
wonder how in the name of objective
thinking and logic it is possible for
great many Republicans to brand as
traitors members of the Democratic
Party, to levy suspicion and doubt upon
the character of our two past Demo-
cratic Presidents. Roosevelt and Tru-
man; to allege that Democrats in gen.
eral are Communists, are pinks, fellow
travellers. political sadists, etc. 1 also
wonder if these Republicans realize
that by circulating such ideas, that
ultimately they are encouraging divi-
sion, diScord, and dissension among
the people-ideals exactly hoped for
by our Communist enemies.

change, for all this certainly cannot
