This and That

History is a nightmare from which
I am trying to awake"
When Templeton Jones read that
sentence, he said, Good"
1t was and is good.
Time is space. and space is time.
One might extend such sayings to
the horizon and be right in most Of
them
It is soothing to think that what
we are going through is a dream Of
some kind.
If it is q dream. we win wake up
into the sanity of better day perhaps.
Templeton Jones is a curious mixture
of optimism and pessimism.
He can track it right down to his
father and mother. with no trace of
''fixation'' of any kind.
One operated on the old gamblers
motto. he expected the worst and hoped
for the best.
The other was sunny optimist, as
women are apt to be.
The. uses of optimism, the uses OF
peSSimism-
Life goes on, balanced between the
two.
Fortunate is the person who knows
naturally how to balance them.
He can be optimistic. when needed.
with great advantage to himself and
those around him.

Linking Wars With Politics

The allegation that the Democratic
Party caused three wars in one gene
ration is as much an oversimplified
idea as the contention Of Prof. Arthur
M. Schlesinger jr. that the price Of the
present administration may well be
the extension of Soviet tyranny or the
outburst of atomic war;" No party
has monopoly on war. Those individ-
uals in every political party who are
vocal enough to sway credulous party
and a reluctant nation to war have
their counterparts in sane men who
manage to save both party and nation
from war. Just as Lenin's insistence
on unequivocal peace with Germany in
1918 won over Trotsky's insane formula
neither peace nor war;" just so did
Abraham Lineoln's refusal to declare
war ON England as he was vociferouSly
urged by hotheaded Republicans.
Moreover. while there seems to be
popular tradition that the Republican
Party is intrinsically isolationist, it is
by no means certain that had speak

Cause for Confusion

There no longer is any legal question as to
the right of Federal clerks" to serve on school
boards and to hold municipal Offices in Virginia.
The States Supreme Court Of Appeals has
settled the matter aff1rmatively in finally dis
posing of litigation originating in nearby COM
munities. If the public is confused by the high
courts rulings, however the fault lies with the
General Assembly, not the court itself. For the
laws which the Assembly has enacted on the
conflict of interests" subject are confusing to
nearly everybody
The situation as of today is that, although
Federal clerks" "a term susceptible OF varying
interpretations may be elected or appointed
members of school boards in cities and counties
and may also serve in other posts in municipal
tiles, neither clerks nor other classes OF Gov
eminent employees may hold any other local
Offices in the counties of Virginia. Thus vir-
ginias laws now hold that it is dangerous to
the integrity Of local government for Govern
ment clerks to sit on county boards, but that

He can be pessimistic when the oc-
caSion demands.
This ability to be all things to all
men is based on his own chameleon
nature, with the colors of light and
shade shutting through his heart and
mind.
Such a man cannot be called happy
one, but only honest. He avoids the
pitfalls of the all-Sunny nature, as well
as those of the confirmed pessimist.
The honest man, of which Jones may
/, be taken as the type, is not fooled.
He may say nothing, but he under
stands for his own benefit.
Therefore, he is more forgiving. The
intolerant person is, usually, one who
does not understand enough to be able
to put himself in the others place.
The great American fallacy is that
everything is ineligible. and may be
solved by intelligence. Hence: our pre-
MUM put on schooling. We tend to
think that if q boy has enough learn

Nothing could be farther from the
simple truth, at least as Jones sees it.

the threat disappears If their services are Inn
tied to school matters or city administration.
This is the sort of nonsense that the 10th
districts delegation to the Legislature sought
in vain to eliminate through bills introduced at
the past session of the Assembly. The delega-
ton succeeded in pushing through the Senate
a bill which would have exempted Arlington
and Fairfax Counties from any restrictions on
Federal-employe participation In local govern
ment provided majority Of the voters opposed
such restrictions in referendum The meas
ure was defeated in the House after the voicing
of unfair and incorporate criticism of Federal
workers by opponents of the legislation. Even
tually, however, a sense of justice and fair play
may prevail at Richmond. Until the discrim-
inatory ban on certain types Of public service
by Federal employees is strapped, truly repre-
sentative local government cannot be said to
exist in Virginia.

Maine Primary

Twenty-four hours before the Maine
primary The Star carried an Associated
Press story which stated. There has
been no real evidence that Senator
Mccarthy has edged into the contest

victory you had an editorial and q

Since Senator Mccarthy made no
speeches in Maine luring the primary
and issued no statements against Sena-
tor Smith, why do you make untruth-
full conclusions? remember President
Roosevelt going directly into many
States in 1888 and still losing badly in
the fact that the constituents voted
heavily for the candidates that RooSe-
welt disliked so much. It certainly
didn't hurt Roosevelt's popularity, and
I doubt that it viii hurt McCarthy's
either.
