Republicans Cleon Up Own Mess

Doesn't Adlai Stevenson seem a
little silly speaking Of Republican
"sins" in their contrast, not COMPARE
son, with those of the previous Demo-
cratic administration?
c. Wesley Roberts. although legally
and ethically lin business sense) on
solid ground in a criticized Kansas
realty deal, resigned his G. o. P. ma
tional craftsmanship almost as soon as
his earning q commission was made
a political issue.
Guy r. o. Hollyday was put in rapid
retreat as Federal Housing Commis-
sioner, all of which was in line with
General Eisenhower's campaign pledges
that wrong-doing would not be toler-
ated in his administration.
And Warren l.. Stephenson was
quickly and firmly laid on the skids
as soon as his attempts at percentage
trading on administration favor were
learned by the administration.
The point that Stevenson hides be-
hind his smoke screen is this:
The difference between Stevenson's
hand-holding playmates of the last
Democratic administration and the
current Republican administration, in
this great issue Of corruption, is that
the Democrats denied, protected and
covered-up: the Republicans "get 'em
out of there and fast!
Voting America really should expect
Adlai TO talk better sense.

By Charles E. Trocewen

The buzzard, or vulture, perches for
long at a time in order to watch for
slight movements.
If mouse or other small animal
remains still the bird never sees it, but
once it moves, old baldy up above spots
1t easily.
In addition to possessing marvellous
eyesight. this ugly creature is one Of
the most expert of all flyers.
Probably he excels any other living
thing when it comes to gliding.
This is best seen in this vicinity in
the Rock Greek Valley section, especial
ly in the open space to the south Of
the Calvert Street Bridge. Buzzard
flights are not as numerous here as they
were several years ago, when the big
birds had favorite perch at an apart
ment house some blocks to the north,
but they still may be seen. and they
show the ability of the bird in this
respect, as well as anywhere.
Old folk lore had it that buzzard
would vonft on any one standing be-
meath it, but this probably happens
very rarely. Why should the bird re-
sort to this trick, when all 1t has to do
is fly away?
Condors, South American vultures,
have been known to drop down into
2,000-foot canyon without moving
wing, and rise up out Of it again with
out single motion that could be seen.

Amused BY Toynbee

u ! was rather amused by the conclu-
sion Of the article by Francis P. Doug
las In The Star of October IL entitled
"A Noted Historian Peers Into the Fu-
ture." This article is sort Of book
review and commentary on our cur
rent civilization and its awful problems
viewed in light of the rise and fall Of
past civilizations, as set forth in the
philosophy of the learned historian,
Prof. Arnold Toynbee.
This is Toynbee's conclusion: ''The
unity Of man can be achieved only as
q result Of acting on the belief In the
unity Of God and seeing the world as
commonwealth Of God"
To people who will listen to erudite
historians, social scientists and phi
losophers of various sorts, while turning
deaf or hostile ear to the Christian
church. this should be happy occa-
sion. For God is at last vindicated. as
If He needed any vindication. God is
our only hope and without Him our
civilization Is doomed. This is GER
tainly propitious time to have the
worlds most distinguished historian
corroborate the testimony Of Jesus, st.
Paul. st. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Plus
XII, ad infinitum.

This and That

1t is said that one OF these ugly crea-
lures can spot moving mouse at a
distance of two miles.
1t must be crawling, of course.
In nature, it is motion that attracts.
Saw spider running along the side
walk in front of the Chevy Chase Club
the other morning.
He was all gray. on very long legs.
His motion was the only thing that
made him visible.
He ran beneath leaf, and SO van
ished. but when the leaf was touched
with the end of foot he ran out again
and up the fight of stone steps.
Coming toward him, we stuck out q
foot. and he promptly vanished by run
ming into a crevice and remaining still.
We knew he was there, but simply
could not see him, he was so wonder
fully camouflaged.
This Is natures great trick for con-
cealment.
The trouble is that often the hiding
thing Is not where 1t makes a natural
part Of the background, and then its
stand-still simply makes it more COM
spicuous.
We thought Of the centipede. stopping
stock still on a light ceiling, when it
senses that q human being is after 1t.
II 1t kept running it might escape.
but by standing nnotionless it falls an
easy prey to the marauding housewife.

cost American taxpayers an estimated
$400 billion, or. approximately $4,000
for every American family.
Consider the eight-year Indo- China
war, down which rat hole we poured
about SO billion and received another
black eye in the eyes of the world! To
add insult to injury, millions Of dollars
of ornaments which we shipped to
Indo-China are now falling into Com
muniSt hands.
The $400 billion we poured down the
sewer of the 'cold war" could have paid
off our atrocious national debt and
rebuilt our antiquated highway system.
Or, we could have used that $400
billion to build all the hospitals, schools,
swimming pools. recreational facilities,
etc, America SO desperately needs to
curb the tidal wave of shameful juvenile
delinquency and crime in America!
Disgraceful slums throughout America

"TAKOMA PARK.

AhON1A FAktEA.
Dear Sir:
"I have a friend who lives over just
off Connecticut avenue. and when I
visit him sometimes we watch the
buzzards soar.
"We have none of them over this
way. recall when I was a child, ! had
great interest in the turkey buzzards,
as we called them.
my parents advised me to stay away
from them. as their habits were strange,
but this advice never frightened me,
and I spent much time popping away
at them with an air rifle.
"As I recall, never hit one, and they
did not seem to mind my attacks in the
least.
ST would like to know what they do,
perched aloft for hours at time,
without moving.
Il watched their flights at other
times. and wondered how beautiful 1t is.
IT took good look at them through
a glass, and uglier looking creatures !
have never seen.
''Yet their poetry Of motion, as it
once was called. was complete.
81 would like to be able to fly like
that.
Sincerely. "H. j."
The buzzard's eyes are among the
most marvellous In nature.

compoian Spending

It is an elementary fact that vast
amounts Of money are spent by all
parties to win an election. According
to figures published by The New York
Times on December l., 1852, the Re-
publican campaign budget amounted to
$18. .769, ,848; the Democrats spent &c.
847,725.
These are blunt figures. Here is one
more. A 30-minute national television
hook-up costs something like $4,000.
Consequently, If television programs
help win elections the wealthier party
has all the advantage. If expenditures
can help decide the outcome of elec-
tions. then the Democrats will, in 1854
as they were in 1852, be at great dis
advantage. AS such. there is developing
a one-sided and unfair political con-
dition. In fact, 1t becomes dangerous
when dollars threaten to become more
important than issues: when the party
that has less money therefore fails be-
cause it's case has not been adequately
presented to the voter.
But there is no getting away from
the political reality that to campaign
well. candidates require large sums of
money.
We are not for the moment concerned
with any party politics We are deeply
concerned about this great threat to
the democratic process. Issues must
determine an election. This can be done
only when party has an equal and
fair opportunity to present its case to
the electorate. We look to the people to
correct this fragrant and threatening
ineQuity.

Sam POlur.

We sincerely believe that there can
not be too many plaudits for the Dis
trict Commissioners, the Superintend-
ent OF Schools, the Board of Education,
the Chief Of Police and his department
and the daily press for the firm, positive
stands taken in the effective and eff
ciept handling Of the recent student
demonstrations. ~ -23@,@er7 j
We are all aware that lacking this
forthrightness that has been recently
shown the situations might have devel-
oped into severe unpleasantneSs and dis
grace for us all.
1t is our further belief that The Star
had no little part in presenting to the
public picture Of the whole situation,
our individual and collective RESPONSE
bilities as law-abiding citizens, as well
as the possible consequences of IRA
tlonal, emotional actions. Yours was
contribution to the solving rather than
the melting or agitating of potential
incidence.
John w. Burton,
Chairman, Washington Area Social
Action Committee of the Congrega-
tional Christian Churches.
What do these student protests
mean? Certainly the thinking people
of this area cannot but view them with
some feeling Of apprehension. Have
centuries of complacent freedom in the
United States bred only new white
species Of aristocrats who desire
limitation of the precious privi-
lege of standard public education to
only those human beings fortunate
enough to have been born inside of
white skins?
One has only to< ass by the lincoln
Memorial to recall with pride that that
marble tribute does homage to a great
man who represented freedom for all.
that this man and his ideals are part
of our own legacy. He freed the slaves.
The generations that followed Lincoln
compromised the spirit of his high
intentions.
Another American President, Presi-
dent Eisenhower, has tried to complete
the job of securing the equality and
freedom of all American peoples. This
is once again in the spirit of our Con-
stitution; the spirit of fair play. Are
we, as parents, going to oppose this
great step forward as did they who
followed Lincoln?

@. Was there Vice President of the
Confederate StateS?-L. D.
A. Yes. This Office was held by Alex
ander Hamilton Stephens Q812-83) Of
Georgia. A brilliant statesman and
lawyer, he entered Congress in 1843
and retired in 1859. He originally led
the movement against Southern seces-
sion. but accepted his States decision
and in 1862 was elected Vice President
under the Permanent Constitution of
the Confederate States. In 1882 he
was elected Governor of Georgia.
Q. What are the different methods
used to tan skins and convert them
into leather?-S. S. c.
A. The various methods are classified
by the tanning substances used. The
use of tree barks, leaves, nuts and
wood is known as vegetable tannage and
is believed to be the oldest known
method. Mineral tannage involves the
use Of chromium or aluminium salts;
oil tannage uses cod or other animal
oils; formaldehyde tannage uses for
maldehyde in solution; and synthetic
tannage uses coal-tar derivatives. Each
method has advantages for some par
ticular purpose. Some leather, eSpe-
cially that for heavy-duty work shoes,
Is combination-tanned, first tanned
with chrome and then with vegetable
substances.

No Justice?

In The Star of October IA three diff
ferent news items told of jail sentences
decreed in three different places as
result of three different crimes.
In Richmond, Va, playboy was
sentenced to eight years in jail for
"bilking" a wealthy widow; a man IN
the Philippine Islands was also SEN
fenced to eight years in jail for stealing
$3.50; and a 17-year-old Washington
Negro is to be sentenced to five years
in Jail for killing Marine.
Moral: In the Nations Capital
a good mans life is literally not worth
$3.50.

Parallel Improvements

Announcement by Woodward g. Lothrop
of plans for suburban branch store at
Seven Corners, in Fairfax County, has un-
usual significance for residents Of nearby
Virginia. It means not only the creation Of
a fine shopping center in that rapidly grow
ing area, but the realization in the near
future of relief plan for one Of Virginias
worst traffic bottleneckS-at Seven Corners.
The Washington department store
agreed to open major branch at this con-
gested intersection on the condition that
traffic conditions would be taken care OF
adequately, officials said There have been
numerous conferences between State high
way authorities and owners of the tract
involved. The State Highway Commission
already has drawn plans for grade-Sep-
aration structures at the busy intersection
OF the Arlington boulevard, the Leesburg
pike and several lesser roads. (Seven Cor
ners was not misnamed.) There was hitch.
however, over request by the development
firm for an access road to permit trafhc
from Washington to turn left of Arlington
boulevard In order to enter the shopping
center. A compromise arrangement Is said
to have been worked out.
The State, cognizant Of the need for
costly construction project at Seven Corners.
has been laying aside funds for the under
taking from current highway funds. It is
said that by the time the shopping center
is completed, about 1866, the trafic-relief
program will be well under way. Certainly
the business development at Seven Corners
and the grade-separation enterprise are SO
interrelated that both should be carried
on at the same time.
