the second on Kell's double and
Jim Piersall's single.
Busby walked in the third and
took second base on a wild pitch

run into the Senator'S bullpen.
The Red Sox retaliated with
three runs to take a 4-3 lead in
the fifth when Ted Lepcio
walked. Henry singled. Billy
Goodman doubled, took third on
a throw to the plate and scored
on a wild pitch.
Connie Marrero, who emerged
with the victory, was clipped for

Cooperating With President

want to commend both David
Lawrence and Dorothy Thompson on
March 10 their articles entitled, respec-
lively, Danger In an 'Eyeful Of Reds"
and 'Unintended Aid to Communism.
I believe that we need to be ever on
the alert to guard against Communist
aggression Of any kind. / believe also
that we should all be good Americans
and form a united front. whether we
be Democrats, Republicans. or what
have YOU" The Democrats had their
chance for 90 years. Now for goodness
sake let's give. the Republicans q
chance. seem to remember time
when Democratic President had COM
plete control Of Congress and the
Supreme Court. I don't believe Presi-
dent Eisenhower wants control Of either
but only cooperation on the part Of
all Americans in support Of all policies
and laws which are intended for the
best interests of the United States and
of its citizens.
The presidency is hard enough job
when there is complete cooperation.
Don't let's make it harder by pulling
two or three ways. II we have any
thing constructive to offer I am sure
the President will be the first to well
come those suggestions. but unless we
have better idea let's not tear down
his efforts to strengthen our country,
II we can't do anything else conStruc-
tive, then let's pray for the President
and the country. That's not such
bad idea anyway!

Election Issues

The issues of the coming election
campaign seem to be shaping up rather
clearly The principal issue seems to
be whether the Government should
adopt a hands-off. lets-play-footsie
attitude towards the Communists who
have wormed their way into the Gov
eminent under the New Dealers or
whether a two-fisted campaign should
be waged against Communists both in
side and outside of the Government.
It is quite evident from his recent
speech that, IL Stevenson had been
elected, he would have adopted soft
attitude towards the Communists. The
committees of Congress which are in
veStigating Communists would have
been abolished or their powers stripped
and there would have been another
influx of Alger Kisses, ETC., into the
Government. If that is the issue on
which the coming election is to be
fought. the Republicans have nothing
to fear. - asIe.s
The New Dealers are, Of course. at
tempting to becloud this by shouting
that the real issue is what they call
"McCarthyism They are relying all
too much on the effectiveness of their
own mudslinging smear campaign. It
probably would have worked 20 years
ago before the public became so
familiar and fed up with these New
Deal smear campaigns against any one
opposing Communism, - starting way
back with Martin Dies committee. The
public likes a good, clean fighter who

This and That

In time, as such things go, the bag
with something or other in it got out
on the work table and kicked around
for several weeks.
In an idle moment, succumbing to
what might be called latent curiosity,
the man opened the bag.
There he found as neat dynamite
cap as any one ever saw.
The former owner had evidently
taken the dangerous way to get lid Of
stump.
He had compounded the danger by
leaving the cap in the bag, instead of
getting rid of it by throwing it in the
river.
A tree stump, cut of two feet from
the ground, makes an excellent drop

nature
The only trouble with it. Templeton
Jones has discovered, is the persistent
effort of the stump to grow into a
tree again
After all. one of the main differences
between stump and tree is simply

ton, and three, that I'VE do not have depres-
sion" and economic conditions today do not
call for an emergency tax relief program.
There is political appeal. certainly in tax
proposals that would relieve or excuse entirely
so many taxpayers. But 1t should be empha-
sized again that the objective Of the pending
legislation is to reform the tax structure rather
than to cope with an emergency economic
problem or to make an election-year present
to the greatest possible number Of voters The
corrections that are admittedly needed so badly
should not now be endangered by changing the
character Of this legislation.

"A Nook and d Book

I was inspired and edited by the
March article by the Rev. Frederick
Brown Harris entitled "A Nook and a
Book" He asks: What is the matter
with people? What makes them act
the way they do? What explains their
reactions to the questions life presents?
The best set Of directions for escaping
from q misdirected life is not in any
book OF the month. 1T is in book Of
the centuries whose title is The Imi-
tation of Christ edited by Thomas a.
Kempis over 500 years ago."
I am a Roman Catholic and much
used and worn copy of this wonderful
book has been in my family for over
so years. After reading this article l
looked the book up and have been
reading a few chapters each day during
Lent as suggested by DR.. Harris. 1t has
helped me tremendously and ! am
wondering il it would not do the same
for some Of our statesmen. as advised
by their eminent chaplain. It might
avoid many controversies and daily
repetition Of so-called "tempests in the
teapot" so that citizens looking to them
for proper guidance and leadership
might feel greater confidence and
respect for them. Amy A. Smith

The damage, evidently. does not 60
deep enough.
If set afire at night, the sight is
pleasant, but the whole process has
aspects Of danger, and in the end one
has part of a stump left, and much
unSightlineSs.
AS for chemical attacks. these usually
take time. too much time, and also fail
to get the roots out.
The tree root is wonderful natural
process.
It not only holds the tree anchored
to the great ground, but also gives it
food. which. in combination with light.
results in leaf growth, so essential in
photosyntheSis.
The tree stump, covered with ivy, and
still securely rooted. cannot be said to
be dead.
It offers mute testimony to the grace
of nature, in making every living thing
determined to live. and to live again.
Somehow, standing there on mis-
stump, Templeton Jones could not help
but think of the bishop of old. who,
just before he died at stake, said to
fellow sufferer:
BE of good comfort. Master Ridley,
and play the man: we shall this day
light such a candle by Gods grace IN
England as, trust, shall never be
put out"
There was a man worthy of tree.

In a recent publication of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and Teachers
is the question, How do the schools
today compare with those Of earlier
years in terms of what pupils accom-
plish? It was suggested that I'm every
study, whether it tested skill in read
ing. spelling or arithmetic. the chill
dren of today made good showing.
In fact. it appears that most pupils
learn the fundamentals better than in
the good old days"
It seems to me that any fair-minded
person will admit that there has been
something definitely omitted; because
wherever one turns one finds grow
ing awareness of this fact and an
eagerness to bring forward that miss
ing link in our onward march.
Perhaps a new approach to all the
ramifications of the fourth "R"-
Righteousness would add much to our
goal of a richer life in America. This
conforming in disposition and conduct
to the divine standard of moral right
and justice should take its place in the
development of the first-grader on
through the public school program.
Since there has never been II universal
acceptance of this ideal. more and
more it appears that America must
take a more serious view of its rela-
ton to mankind in its new roll OF
world leadership. New textbooks and
new techniques in teaching which ex-
plore the recognized tenets Of pro-
gressive living without aversion to any
group must and will find their unique
place in our educational program.

Constructive Delinquency Report

That the Senate Juvenile Delinquency Sub
committee is seriously concerned" over Wash
ington's juvenile crime problem and the con-
flicts and confusion in handling it should oc-
casion no surprise here. The public at large
has been concerned about these matters for q
long time. It is bad enough to have youthful
criminality on the rampage in the Nations
Capital without having law enforcement and
welfare authorities fighting among themselves
instead of concentrating on the main problem.
The subcommittee report is conStructively
critical one that should help to bring about an
Improvement in thoroughly disturbing sit
uation.
While the Senate group did not go along
with urgent recommendations of the District Law
Enforcement Council and other organizations
and individuals on the proposal to transfer all
or some of the Juvenile Courts waiver powers
In felony cases. the report found fault with that
courts failure to cooperate with several other
agencies interested in delinquency. On the
waiver issue the subcommittee suggested that
the United States Attorney and the Police De-
partment have statutory standing" to inform
the court of the urgency of Surrendering juris-
diction in certain cases to higher courts It
would be surprising if such formal notification
caused any significant change in the Juvenile
Courts reluctance to grant such waivers. Pub
lie sentiment is divided on the waiver question.
The fact is that there would have been no
cogent demands for curbing the waiver powers
of the Juvenile Court IL critics of the court had
not felt that the public safety was being i'm
periled by coddling of hardened young criminals
In some cases
The subcommittee favored making the Jul
venile Court part of the broad Family Court
system. In the meantime the present system
undoubtedly could be made to serve the public
interest better. if an end were put to the
pickering" which the report said has marked
the courts relations with the police, the schools,
welfare officials land other. authorities con-
cerned with juvenile crime. The pickering will
end If the court adopts the Senators recon-
mendations for releasing pertinent data to
those authorities and in obtaining from them
other data essential to an intelligent handling
of juvenile cases. The subcommittee rightly
took a dim view of proposals for surrounding
with Juvenile Court-like secrecy police arrests
of youths involved in crime. It advocated
number of reforms in procedures and improve
ments in facilities for coping with child law
breakers.
Some of these changes would need con-
gressional approval. The subcommittee will
have made an important contribution to the
juvenile delinquency problem in Washington if
1t can bring about needed legislative action to-
supplement needed administrative reforms
