Mixing Work and Play

Americans are great kibitzers, never
loath to look over some one elses shoulder
to second-guess on how the hand is being
played. A Presidents shoulder is always
favorite one because, of course, almost
everybody knows how President should
carry out his job. At campaign time this
omniscience becomes particularly wideS
spread One of the forms it is taking today
is to question in most doleful fashion why
President Eisenhower should spend so much
time out Of Washington and to wonder how
he can ever get his work done properly If
he is not sitting constantly behind a desk
at the White House.
The exact burden of presidential duties
varies somewhat with the times, and with
the individuals manner Of operation. It is
probably safe to say that there is no greater
authority on what President Eisenhower
has to do than President Eisenhower him
self. 1t is no doubt fact that no one takes
that burden more seriously today than he
does. AS a military man, President Eisen-
hover became known as commander who
insisted upon good staff work and relied
heavily on It. BY this means he spared him

Maryland US Accreditution

AS graduate of the University OF
Maryland and a former citizen of that
State, am, of course, ashamed of the
fact that the University has been de-
MED full accreditation by the Middle
States Association of Colleges. I can
not say, however, that am surprised.
/ 1t looks as though the board of
regents suppressed the report in order
to help President H. c. Byrd in his
campaign for the governorship of Mary
land. OF course, his administration is
responsible for the faults which oc-
Cured during his long presidency of
the State university. The report should
be made public so that we get some
idea where we stand. Our surmises
might be worse than the facts.
It isn't football teams, buildings and
grounds nor a big alumni that make
university great so much as loyalty to
truth and learning.

since the false idea of bipartisan pol
itics has been inaugurated, this country
has gradually gone down the road of
defeat and appeasement. A change in
Congress in November could be fatal to
American freedom and the future sue
cess of any combat with the Soviet
Union. There are too many Democrats
in both houses who long ago have for
saken their own party for New Dealism
and ultraleftism, and little if anything
could be expected from Democratic
Congress to insure combat against COM
munism either at home or abroad
America, in these doubtful and pre-
carious time. especially, cannot risk
changing horses in mid-stream; we may
lose both the horses and the riders
AS Democrat myself there is nat
urally no smear intended against the
Democratic Party. My criticism is in the
methods the Democrats use and follow.
The Executive is another question.
American voters must not confuse their
dislike of the Executive with their
thinking on Congress. If we elect a
Republican Congress we can afford
to put up with two more years of
Eisenhower's pro-New Dealish maneu-
vering.

They eat these insects for themselves,
and carry some of them home to their
thimble-sized nests. to feed their tiny
babies.
The gladiolus is another blossom
favored by our ruby -throated humming-
bird, the only species to come here.
If one plants both petunias and
gladiolus, preferably pink, but any
color will do. he is almost sure to have
plenty of the little birds.
The ,petunia, however, remains the
best attractor, because of its size.
This flower can be planted in win
dow boxes, especially outside dining
room windows. Both arrangements,
popular in some small houses, enable
the human eater to be seated only
few feet from the bird eaters.
In this way the adnirer of bird life
has an unexcelled opportunity to watch
one of natures most marvellous crea-
tions.

It is this insect life, of course, that

A Hiqh-Minded President

The winds of spiritual force are the
most powerful today in the history of
the world as the interlocution fills the
air in the forthcoming congressional
election. This is to say, undeniably,
that the impact of Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's spiritual conviction for our po-
litical salvation, at home and abroad,
lies in a rebirth of the principles of
right and wrong. Herein our President
has scored with large majority of
people who think across the line He

Fuel for a Controversy

From your columns see that have
touched off anew historic contro-
versy over Stonewall Jackson's appear
ance and behavior which first ragged a
couple of generations ago.
Jacksons granddaughter, Mrs. Julia
jackson Preston, protests the picture
of Stonewall in my new biography,
They Called Him Stonewall" I regret
that have offended her and appreciate
the spirit in which she praises the
writing Of the book despite her feel
ings.
feel, however, that the record is SO
crowded with evidence as to make it
certain that my rendition of Jacksons
dress. manners and general behavior
is accurate in spirit and detail. If
may cite a few random-really ran
dom-examples to indicate that Stone
wall was real character in the modern,
sense:
Gen. D. H. Maury: "I1e had become
hypochondriacal. He had queer ideas
about his health; he thought one side
of him was heavier than the other, and
sometimes he would raise one hand up
to the arms length to let the blood flow
downward and tighten that arm
Mrs. Mary Anna jackson (Mrs. Pres
tons grandmother): g. he never
looked more noble and handsome than
when he entered his wife's chamber,
sword in hand He playfully began to
brandish the sword over his wife's
head, looking as ferocious and terrible
as veritable Bluebeard, and asking
her if she was not afraid. His acting
was so realistic that, for moment,
the timid little woman did quail, which
he no sooner saw than he threw down
his sword, and, in a perfect outburst
Of glee, speedily transformed himself
into the very antipode of a wife-killer." /"
Maj. j. T. l.. Preston (JackSon's
brother-in-law): "We have a merry
table. but ! Jackson is as grave
as signpost, until something chances
to overcome him, and then he breaks
out into a laugh so awkward that it
is manifest he has never laughed enough
to learn how. He is a most simple
hearted man."
A Northern newspaper reporter at
Harpers Ferry September, 1862: "Jack-
son is :. seedy in general appear
ance was in no respect to be distin-
guished from the mongrel barefooted
crew who followed his fortunes. I had
heard much of the decayed appearance
of the Rebel soldiers, but such look
ing crowd!"
Perhaps the barrier to understand
ing Jackson by Mrs. Preston, biog-
rapher, cor any one else, is expressed
in these words of a Confederate
officer: ~
There is a magnetism in jackson,
but it is not personal :. no one could
love the man for himself. He seems to
be cut off from his>fellowmen and to
commune with his own spirit only, or
with spirits of which we know not"

Privote Lives Of Civil Servants

The Regulars" of the Armed Serv-
ices are required to maintain high
standard of conduct in their private
lives as well as in their public lives,
Notwithstanding that they are required
to be rough and tough on the battle

Then why all the fuss about requir-
ing Civil Service employees to maintain
high standard of conduct in their pri-
vate lives as well as in their public
lives? They haven't even the excuse
of battlefield stress and strain but live
normal lives everyday. President Eisen-
hover has been thoroughly schooled in
high standards from cadet to general
and knows its Importance in the con-
duct of public servants. believe he is
right in demanding the same standard
OF conduct on the part of the Civil Serv-
ice as of the Military Service.

The Colombo Plans Prooress

The Ottawa meeting of the Colombo
Plans Consultative Committee has won few
headlines throughout the world, but that
does not mean that its work has been un-
important. On the contrary, though quiet
compared to most international confer
ences, it has dealt with matters of vital
significance to freedom in the Far East.
and 1t has done so in way that is highly
encouraging.
AS initiated by Britain and it's Com
nlonwealth associates three years ago, the
Colombo Plan is designed to raise the living
standards of the underdeveloped nations
and dependencies of Communist Asia
and the Western Pacific. To that end, dur
ing the past three years, the program has
made steady progress with efforts to in
crease the agricultural and industrial pro-
ductivity OF the area. This it has done with
educational aid, technical equipment, cash
expenditures and investment commitments
equivalent to over 81 billion from the
donor" countries participating in the
enterprise.
The donors" have been Australia, New
Zealand, Britain, Canada and the United
States. The recipients" have been, and
will continue to be, the less economically
advanced or stable participants-12 in all,
now that Japan, Thailand and the Philip
pines have become full members of the
plan through agreements reached at
the recent conference in Ottawa. These
recipients" for their own part, are invest
Ing a great amount of their resources
to press forward with the program, which
heavily emphasizes technical aid and prof.
ectS designed to step UP the output of both
food and manufactured goods.
The Colombo Plan thus has developed
into genuinely cooperative undertaking,
and its results to date-as the Ottawa con-
ference has made clear-have been decid-
edly rewarding. All the participants deserve
high comrnendation. Their constructive
work, If carried on with continuing vigor
in the years ahead, can play major role in
the hard and crucial struggle to save
free Asia from Communist engulfment.

MuIti-Heoded Tyranny

Ever since Stalins death, the idea of
"autocratic- -one-perSon decisions" has been
taboo in the Soviet Union. The dictatorship
over there has become collective" or SEEM
1ngly so. That is to say, Premier Malenkov
apparently is not the sole boss, but merely
kind of committee member who cannot
issue ukases unless and until he has the
approval of people like Molotov and Krush-
chew
This same change has spread to the
puppet Red regimes in the satellite lands.
The latest evidence to that effect has just
come from Hungary, where Premier Macy
has written scatting article condemning
"dictatorial leadership by one person" His
criticism seems to be aimed principally at
Matyas Rakosi, formerly the top man in
Budapest but now under attack for having
messed up the country's economy with per-
sonal decisions made on his own in a thor
oughly snon-collective" manner.
The world behind the Iron Curtain thus
appears to be overhauling the nature of its
ruling system in accord with the old maxim
about two or three heads being better than
one,> or at least less likely to make whopping
mistakes. Whether this sort of thing can
work in a dictatorship, however, remains
to be seen. In such governing setup, rival
ries are very great. and up to now they have
always resulted in "liquidations" leading to
the emergence Of a single tyrant on top Of
the heap.
In any case, it will be interesting to
watch how the Soviet Union and its satel-
lites get along under this new-fangled
notion Of collective dictatorship which
agrees in part with an old feminist dictum
AS for the masses trapped behind the Iron
Curtain, there is reason to doubt that they
will find it pleasanter to live under multi
headed tyranny than under the tyranny Of
one man. After all, tyranny is still tyranny
regardless Of Its form.
