'Newspoperboy Day,

This is the day the newspapers in the
United States have marked for paying spe-
cial tribute to select group of about 100000
American boys. They are the youngsters
who deliver the newspapers, the youthful
businessmen" to whose hands finally are
entrusted the products that have been fash
toned out of all the effort and the some
times exciting WEAKNESS of gathering and
analyzing the news of the world. It is in
itself perhaps the greatest tribute that this
very responsibility should be given to those
so young, but the record of performance
supports the trust.
There are more than $500 newspaper
boys delivering The StarAin the District,
in Virginia and in Maryland. They are boys
from all sorts of homes. Some are working
because their earnings are essential to
themselves and their families. Others are
working because they or their parents have
recognized that "peddling papers" long ago
qualified as an exercise in healthy discipline,
a training course in meeting responsibility
that has proved itself over and over again.
There is abundant evidence that men prom
inent in community, and in national, life
have gained benefits beyond pennies and
dollars from their careers" as newspaper
boys.
At The Star we appreciate the loyalty
and the help of our newSpaperboyS. We
hope that the readers of the paper feel the
same way.

Military Triols

Col. Fleming must have left many peo-
pie, as they have this writer, with feel
ing that justice is not being served.
Military justice is in class by itself.
In my own few years in military service
it was never my fate to sit on court
martial, except mock general court
for Institutional purposes. That was
instructive. all right for the prisoner
who was tried for striking an officer

by the court members to receive any
thing from acquittal to firing squad
This last punishment was seriously
urged by a court member whose peace

SceIbo VS.. the ScondoImonqers

In winning firm vote of confidence
from the Italian Parliament, Premier Mario
Scelba has scored a gratifying and reasSur-
ing victory against the determined effort
of his extremist foes to drive his govern
ment out of office with the bludgeon Of the
Wilma Montesi scandal.
This scandal-involving, among other
things, the death of young woman and
n1anslaughter charges against son of
Italy's recently resigned Foreign Minister,
has been the country's most lurid bit OF
news for many weeks past. AS such, it has
been exploited unrestrainedly, with the
widest sort of distortions and innuendoeS,
by the Communists the fellow travelling
Socialist segment, the neo-Fascists and the
monarchists. Doing violence to the truth,
these extremists of the left and right have
sought to make it appear that Mr.. Scelba
and all his cabinet colleagues have played
sinister roles in the Montesi story-roleS
making them unfit to govern.
But Mr.. Scelba, Christian Democrat
famous for his integrity, has had little
trouble in defending both himself and his
government against this palpably phony and
scurrilous attack. Further than that, since
the debate in the Italian Parliament has
been DrOad enough 10 cover international
affairs as well as the Montesi case and other
domestic matters, ne has taken advantage
of it to reaff1rm uneqdivocally that he and
his cabinet are as determined as ever to
support West Germany's rearmament for
European defense, to work for the further
military and political strengthening of the
Atlantic community, and to strive for the
closest possible ties between Italy and the
United States.
Accordingly, in effect, the vote of con-
fidence won by Mr.. Scelba may be regarded
not only as a vote thoroughly discrediting
the scandalmongers, but also as vote
upholding his pro-Western, pro-American
foreign policy. Certainly the fact that he
has been solidly supported in this by all
the center parties augurs we'll for the con-
tinuing stability of his government.

It has seemed to me that The Star

favor of fringe parking. There are
drivers, including myself, who prefer
transportation in private automobiles,

BY Robert K. Welsh

ENATOR Theodore Francis Green,
~ Rhode Islands senior solon in the
Senate, marks four score and seven
years today. That makes him the
oldest member of Congress in point of
age But, because of his versatile ac-
tivity and hardy health. he continues
to walk well among the youngest of his
colleagues.
This Rhode Island Democrat seems
far less impressed than most people are
by his attainment of 81 years. He has
a while to go before matching the mod
ern record of So set by the late Senator
Carter Glass, Democrat of Virginia.
Moreover, to paraphrase one of Senator
Green's well-aged observations: It's not
the way man counts his years; it's
the way he uses them that counts.
Senator Green, who started running
for Governor of Rhode Island more
than 40 years ago and for Congress in
1918. and now is running for fourth
consecutive term in the Senate, has
literally walked through a great deal
of his life.
Since he arrived in Washington as a
Senator in January. 1887. he built up

aid. not merely Of his party, but also
Of District pedestrians. He Is on record
as promising that If he were President
"a prospect he laughs of as unlikely
because of great age and small State
he would ease the plight of the auto
less as we'll as vote-less populace here.
In the Senate, nine members stand
ahead of him in seniority. He is perhaps
the wealthiest Senator. During the
current congressional recess, he has
been one of the buSiest-what with not
only talking about the weather but
actively trying to do something about
it by investigating the Weather
Bureaus dates with hurricanes Carol
and Edna.
Senator Green also is undisputed
dean of the few remaining bachelors
in the Senate. So greatly is he in de-
mand at diplomatic dinners and else
where in the social-political life of
Washington that his name is almost
equally well known to followers of the
Sunday society pages as to readers of
the Congressional Record.
Actually. Senator Green goes-and
generally walks-to parties more for
information than for merriment or
simply to be seen. He believes it is a
good way not only to relax but to find
other persons in relaxed mood.
AS for the first family" approach,
Senator Green can point long, long
way back. In Providence, r. l., where
he occupies an historic house well

Historical Footnote

President EiSenhower's speech the
other day at McNary Dam was we'll re-
ported, and several newspapers, including
The Star, carried the text as given out in
advance. But before the President got into
his formal speech he made some opening
remarks that seem to have been missed by
the reporters. For the sake of the record
and also because they tell an amusing
story-they are belatedly published here
with:
Before begin the more serious part of
my address, I wonderff you would mind If
would communicate to you an odd thought
that occurred to me as sat here. It was
brought to me in emphatic form once by an
old soldier of mine who reminded me that
you could never tell what was around the
corner in this world. When I first came back
from Europe two years ago, and before my
friends found that 1t was utterly futile and
useless to try to make me appear better on
the television by the use of paint and stains,
they had me in little room one night and
a man was working very seriously on my
face in an effort to do something about it.
Finally, in this very preoccupied sordid job
and atmosphere that was prevailing, he
suddenly began to laugh, and he said to me,
fix He said, Here you are an old general
trying to turn politician And he said, I
am beautician. Do you know what was
in the warp I said. No. He said, was one
of your paratroopers.'
What made me think Of that this
morning was the fact that when first met
Sam Sturgis was detailed as young off,
Ger to coach football team and young
hopeful lieutenant showed up. made him
an end and he worked pretty hard under
me for some weeks and months. Today I
think that all Of you would like me to speak
for you in commencing him as the brilliant
head Of great organization which not only
here but throughout our land has built up
these great works in flood control, in drain
age, in water conservation and power de-
j, velopment-an organization of which not
only the U. S. Army but all America is
proud"
Besides containing good anecdote and
being a handsome compliment to Major
General Samuel D. Sturgis, jr., and the Army
Corps of Engineers, all this heretofore unre-
ported material throws additional light on
the Presidents warm personality and his
delightfully."- human reaction to efforts to
make him television actor. That Is why
The Star records it here, as kind of his
torical footnote.

Senator Runs for Office Then Walks to 1t

His eyesight, even with his traditional
pince-neZ glasses, may not be as sharp
as when he was Governor Of Rhode
Island from 1888 to 1887. But one
thing is certain:
Throughout Washington-and prob
ably up Providence's College Hill which
almost like q valley-he is readily rec
ognizable as man who seldom rides
in a taxicab, bus or private automobile
If he can avoid it.
Senator Green was born Democrat
in 1867. He achieved physical stamina
after a comparatively sickly childhood.
But he cannot strictly be said to have
had political prominence thrust upon
him. He really went after it in the
rugged and persistent fashion of old
time (and perhaps present -time) Rhode
Island politics.
After developing his mental processes
at Brown University, Harvard Law
School and the Universities Of Bonn
and Berlin in Germany. he settled
down to practice law in Providence.
His military career. during the brief
Spanish-American War, was long
enough for him to become lieutenant
in provisional company of infantry.
In 1908 as member Of the Rhode
Island General Assembly he obtained
passage of a bill against exclusion of
servicemen from places of innocent
amusement.
BY unofficial measure, the biographi-
cal account of Senator Green is about
the lengthiest in the Congressional
Directory. Yet, even making allowance
for the time he ran for public Office
before winning the governorship in
1882, and the times he was State party
chairman or Democratic national COM
mitteeman, the story of his activities
and memberships is far from short.
Speculation on Senator Green's fu-
ture is almost as inviting as is review
of his past. If the Democrats capture
the Senate he conceivably could be
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, although Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia, outranks him in
seniority and might prefer to stay there
rather than head the Finance Com
mittee.
If Senator Green is reelected -
well, the Rhode Island Republicans say
that they will have something to say
about that. In any event, Senator
Green, who returned to Rhode Island
several days ago for quiet celebration
of his birthday and a. not-too-quiet
bit of campaigning. has consistent
lifetime aversion to predicting elections.
He indicates only that it's still long
walk to November 2.

New Library?

Why do I have to go to Baltimore to
enjoy fine public library? The con-
trast between the Central Library
building in Baltimore and that in
Washington, D. c., is in inverse ratio
to the quality of other aspects OF the
cities.
Is this because of disoriented sense
of values? believe that if the people
Of Washington realized the disgrace
and shame which the D. c. Central
Library BUILDING reflects on the whole
community, the money would be found
for new and adequate structure.

Just a taxpayers question: Now that
the Vice President and President are
campaigning all over the place, who is
footing the bill? 1t looks to me that
they are going to kill the proverbial
goose that could lay another golden
egg. If they would only stay on their
own jobs and mind their own business!

ever campaigned before at the tax
payers expense?

and that the Republicans also are pay
ing for that portion of the Presidents
