Although the shootings at the Capitol
were very regrettable indeed, I find
the reaction Of the House bit anus
ing.
Through recent years. we have wit
messed the abuse that has been heaped
on people who have tried to expose
subversives of any kind. Warnings
have been pooh-poohed. laughed at
and hidden. Known Communists have
been allowed in the most secret con-
fines Of our Government. China was
sold down the river without murmur.
But now that subversives have struck
at Congress. they are demanding body
guards. bullet-proof glass, and all kinds
Of legislation.
All right fellows. how about a few
laws protecting the rest Of us?

A girl was singing.
Neither the orchestra leader. MEM
bers Of the band nor the young lady
singer had the slightest idea of the
true Calypso rhythm.
1t came out, in their version, as Har-
lem strained through New York, with
Trinidad left almost completely out.
Soon an orchestra came on playing
samba, also with young lady singer.
None Of them in this offering either
knew the true samba beat.
The best thing they could all have
done was to have purchased some real
Calypso records, and some real samba
tunes. done by those who create them.
If there is one thing distressing to
the musical ear it is a inflammation
Of an authentic musical rhythm.
To some they may sound all right
but to the person who has heard the
real thing they are terrible.
Perhaps the worst of it Is when they

A Real Loss

On occasion, in his capacity as Deputy
Secretary of Defense, Roger M. Kyes may have
ruf1ed the feelings of number of persons in
the Penragon and on Capitol Hill But that
does not alter the fact that he has done fine
job for the country and that his decision to
resign and return to private life-effective
May lis genuinely regrettable.
Despite some speculation to the contrary,
there is no reason to link Mr.. Kyes' resignation
with the Stevens-McCarthy controversy Ac-
tually, as he has been at pains to emphasize,
he stipulated when he accepted the Presidents
appointment that he would hold the Office for
only one year. The year ended on February /,
but he agreed at that time to stay on for an
additional 80 days at the request of Defense
Secretary Wilson under whom he has served
as good friend and chief aide not merely in the
Pentagon, but before that in General Motors.
It is not often that man can take over
q nigh Government post and succeed, within
a years time, in carrying out program of
marked administrative and other improve
ments. But MIR. Kyes, whose Pentagon assign
ment has entailed a considerable financial sac
rifice, has done just that-with the same
energy and executive vision as have won him
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-10

great distinction in the field Of private industry.
Mr.. Wilson has not exaggerated in saying Of
him that "he has made an outstanding con-
tribution in the reorganization of fhe Defense
Department that will result in lasting good and
has been of tremendous assistance in our day
to-day problems"
Nor has Mr.. Wilson exaggerated in declar-
ing that the impending departure Of his second
in command must be regarded as "a real loss. !"
For men Of Mr.. Kyes' ability are not easily re-
placed. Navy Secretary Anderson win be UNDER
taking big task and assuming large re-
sponsibility when he moves into the vacated
post. He should have the support and best
wishes of all.

Bruckner. He was the great peasant
composer Of Austria. Even the man
with the f1inty heart, Adolph Hitler.
loved to listen to Bruckner. He said
that he recognized in the Bruckner
symphonies Especially the seventh)
melodies to which he danced as young
man in Linz.
Among the folk music available in
the long-playing records are tunes from
India, Norway, Haiti, Pakistan, Puerto
Rico, Zulu, and so on.
This is taste which many phono-
graph record listeners develop in time.
1t seems to work up as q sort Of relief
from too much classical music. After
all, some classical music is pretty
dreary stuff. You have to listen to it
endlessly, as on an all-night radio
program, to realize just how much mu-
steal CUFF is masquerading as the real
thing.
Folk music is relief from all that.
It is real, with an honest beat, you can
feel the people dance, for folk music
is basically dance music.
Victor, on the old TBS, had a nice
album of Puerto Rican danzas, as they
are called, where this is brought out
beautifully.
To dance, is to sing; and to sing, Is
to dance. Folk music reveals this in
its essence. It plays part in the
worlds music as well as symphony and
choral.

Folk songs. even more than SYM

When Americans go after something,

Not only is it possible to secure now

Bruckner's nine symphonies were on

Communism and the Americas

Secretary of State Dulles, in his second
speech to the 10th Inter- American Conference
at Caracas, has made an effective appeal in
behalf of united action against the threat OF
international communism in the Western Hem
isphere. With some show of bad manners, the
foreign minister representing Guatemalas Red
tinged government has belittled the whole idea,
but most Of the other delegates, If not all, have
indicated that they are alert to the menace and
that their countries are very much In favor OF
taking common protective measures against 1t
along the lines proposed by the United States.
1t is not fancied but a real threat that
is involved here For the demonstrate fact is,
as Mr. Dulles has said, that international COM
munism is "far-flung, clandestine political
organization which is operated by the Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union" to promote the
Kremlin's drive for global domination. With
the help Of this organization-wi its "hard
core of agents in practically every country
Moscow since 1899 has reduced Is once-inde-
pendent lands to state Of abject servitude, and
the Americas are on the list for the same sort
of treatment. There is, in Short no limit to the
long-range, ultimate objective of the power
hungry Red totalitarians. What they seek is
nothing less than mastery Of the entire world.
This menace is essentially the same though
without parallel in the deadliness Of its modern
techniques, as the one that led in 1923 to the
enunciation Of the principles of the Monroe
Observation-Disclosures that have long since been
accepted by the nations Of the New World as
part Of firm common policy aimed at resist
ing and defeating any effort by an Old World
power to extend itself and its system to the
Americas. AS Mr.. Dulles, has explained, that
is why it seems to the people and Government
of our own country that the United States and
its sister republics would be false to their past
unless they again proclaimed that extension
to this hemisphere Of alien despotism would be
danger to us all which we unitedly oppose"
Accordingly, the United States has proposed
at Caracas the adoption of resolution that
would Cd declare that If international commu-
nism should come to dominate any American
state, such domination would threaten us all,
endanger peace and call for appropriate action
in keeping with existing treaties, and (2) pro-
vide machinery for disclosures and exchanges Of
information to expose and weaken the Red
conspiracy in our hemisphere community. The
leftist Guatemalans may inveigh against this,
and others may see in 1t little more than words.
Even so. If something like 1t is agreed upon, it
can prod the Americas into greater vigilance
against what is a genuine common menace, not
a nake-believe one.

Man With q Plan
Marie w. Smith.

AS a new arrival in this area, am
struck by several outstanding facets OF
the National Capital area traflc prob
lem, some of which have not been
treated in the published discussions I
have seen.
On bridges, about which there is much
to do. The area is blessed with many
fine bridges and connecting express
type highways, yet during rush periods
they are often congested until traffic
almost stops moving. I don't picture
all the answers, but these facts do make
me wonder.
/. At 20 miles per hour. cars two
= lengths apart-at intervals Of 40 feet
there are 1872 cars per mile. That one
lane then can pass 2,640 cars per hour
past given point. Two lanes can pass
$3.50 cars, three lanes 1920 cars per
hour.
2. At 40 miles per hour, cars three
lengths apart-at intervals Of so feet
there are 88 cars per mile. That one
lane can then pass $500 cars per hour
past a given point. Two lanes can pass
7,040 cars, three lanes 10,560 cars per
hour.
g. notice that usually on Memorial
Bridge, for example, which believe has
about the same road width as the Pu-
laski Skyway in New Jersey, two lanes
are all that are used in each direction,
and traffic moves at about 20 m.p.h.
during rush time, often at the Lincoln
Memorial end slowing to mere crawl.
The Skyway has normally three lanes
in use. each way. and is rougher, more
twisty road to drive. and traffic moves
commonly at steady forty per.
In other words, if present bottlenecks
were removed, present bridge capacity
could be substantially increased.
If $4,000 or 100000 workers could
move from and to home and work in
20 minutes to half hour, instead of
an hour or so, it would free $4,000 or
100000 man-hours, for family, fun,
extra employment, study. or plain lei
sure. What would that be worth to
the residents concerned?
