The Crowd in CIeveIonds Stadium

A record-breaking Polo Grounds crowd
Of 52,751 saw the World Series opener In
New York on Wednesday. Yesterdays at
tendance Of 49,099 was not far behind. But
in Cleveland today 1t Is likely that new
record will be set for attendance at base
ball game, breaking the record set as re-
Gently as September IL, when 86,563 peoples
watched the Indians knock of the Yankees
in double-header and put the American
League championship on ice.
This record will be possible because OF
Cleveland's magnificent Municipal Stadium,
with seating capacity that at least
scratches the surface in accommodating the
baseball-mad Clevelanders who want to see
ball game. The stadium was built after
the Cleveland voters approved $25 million
bond issue in 1929. It was completed In the
summer of 1881, and opened with the
Schmeling- -Stribling prize fight. It rests on
city-owned filed land, overlooking Lake
Erie, at the northwest end Of Cleveland's
Mall, near the county courthouse and the
city hall, with huge parking facilities and
railroad spurs conveniently accessible. The
total city investment now Is $S.5 million.
The stadium lost money in its earlier years.
But now that the Cleveland Indians and the
Cleveland Browns use 1t for their home
park, by rental agreement with the city,
1t Is in the black and making money. The
stadium also pays the freight for Cleve-
lands big public hall, also publicly owned.
Washington has nothing that compares
either with! Clevelands stadium or public
hail. It is q shame that we lack such IA
cilities. The nearest thing we have that
approaches q publicly owned auditorium Is
the National Guard Armory. Designed as
an sarmory though built ct cost Of only
$850,000 less than Cleveland's total invest
ment in It's stadium-it represents one Of
the most elegant white elephants ever In
ficted on helpless taxpayers. Even its ulti-
mate capacity as n1akeshift auditorium
cannot be used because Of the unrealistic
exit regulations which arbitrarily limit the
attendance, except when the Commissioners
are willing to violate their own regulations.
We need public auditorium and = stadium
and Cleveland has shown that both are At
tainable, with public funds, 10 meet public
need while paying dividends

Revised Pledge of Allegiance

keWSe0 fte0qe Or Alle0tunce
A bugaboo Of English teachers has
cropped up on an 0fficial basis. In the
revised Pledge Of Allegiance" The
children are now saying: one ma
tion. under God. indivisible, with lib
erty
Certainly neither the President. In
recommending the insertion Of under
God, nor the school authorities. wishes
to imply that the Nation has become
diyisible or to emphasize the obvious
fact that God Is indivisible. But as the
pledge now reads. God Is indivisible
and not the Nation. Would It not be
correct either to put "indivisible" where
it belongs. after nation or between
"one" and nation?
English teachers may challenge my
grammar and say that the two commas
setting on "indiyisible" could refer this
word back to nation" rather than to
Cod: or that for 'tindivisible' really
to modify God" 1t would have to be
just after God" without comma
between them. or that, tampering with
the present wording may spoil the
chanted rhythm Of the phrase as the
children now speak 1t.
The answer Is that q new rhythm
could easily put lone Nation indivisible"
into one breath and under God" into
another; that. further. to make the
two mentioned commas into catalytic
agents is pulling the grammatical lions
tail until he bellows: and that we ought
not to be ambivalent in something as
important as the pledge.
Now is the time, while this diction
error Is still freshly conceived and not
vet hoary with tradition. to put the

Greece's Claim on Cyprus

In recent article dealing with the
claim OF Greece to Cyprus, Constantine
Brown made the following statements:
The native Cypriotes themselves are
an ancient people Of mixed background.
with customs and language modified BY
centuries OF isolation from the main
land. :. It Is pointed out that there
is no tradition Of allegiance to Greece
among the islanders. :" These state
ments are not true and can be readily
and conclusively refuted by citing only
British authorities.
Capt. c. w. T. Orr. who was chief
secretary to the Government OF Cyprus
makes, In Cyprus Under British Rule"
the following statement:
There is a Greek word which figures
very largely and Is used with peculiar
emphasis in the Greek newspapers pub
lished in Cyprus: 1t is seldom omitted
from the political harangues which the
Greek Cypriote loves to deliver on ev-
cry possible occasion; 1t Is to be heard
in the Greek Orthodox churches in the
sermons preached on the occasion Of
each national festival; clubs endeavor
to obtain members and newspaper
subcribers by adopting the word as
their official designation; and 1t is to
be found In practically every one Of the
many memorials which have been sub
mitted from time to time by the lead
ers OF the Greek community In Cyprus,
either to the local or Imperial Gov
ernment.
1.-THE word in question Is 'Enosis,'
meaning Union and 1t is used to des-
ignate the political aspiration for the
union Of Cyprus with the kingdom of
Greece.
This political aspiration dates back
from before the time of the British oc-
cupation; but it received considerable
impetus from that event, since the
Turkish domination was thereby par
TALLY removed from the island.
"The annexation of the island by
Great Britain on the outbreak Of the
war with Turkey In 1914 caused an i'm
portant change In the situation, and
left England free to do with Cyprus
what she would. The following year
Cyprus was offered to Greece on GER
tain conditions. The offer was refused,
and lapsed. But the incident showed
that England was prepared to recog-

claims put forward by the Greek-speak-

be united with Greece, were not con-
sidered unjustifiable. :
Prime Minister Gladstone wrote, in
letter to the Duke Of Westminster,
dated March 13. 1897. as follows: II

Prime Minister Winston Churchill,
upon . visit to the island Of Cyprus
in the capacity Of Under Secretary for
the Colonies. said: II think it 10 only
natural that the Cypriote people. who
are Of Greek descent. should regard
their incorporation with what may be
called their mother country. as an ideal
to be earnestly, devoutly and fervently
cherished. Such q feeling is an example
of the patriotic devotion which SO
nobly characterizes the Greek nation"

The cooperative Federal-District plan
for an East-West crosstown traffic channel
through the Soldiers Home grounds win

bottleneckS When the home was estab-
nshed more than century ago 1t was sur
rounded by woods and farms. It's trafac
troubles, II any, were Of the horse-and-buggy
type. The city proper had not yet come
close to its borders. But with the advent Of
the automobile and the later rapid expan-
sion Of Washington into the Northwest and
Northeast sections, especially in recent
years, the old soldiers reservation has be-
come forbidden island In sea of moving
traffic. The rush-hour waves Of vehicles
beat against its iron enclosure and find their
way, slowly around the park.
The District Highway Department long
has tried to figure out ways Of speeding up
the flow Of traffic around the Soldiers Home,
and some progress has been made. But not
until the Federal Government took over part
Of the reservation for veterans hospital
did the possibility of direct main route
through the grounds receive serious study.
With approval, also, Of the plan for local
hospital center near the VA site, the need
for adequate traffic approaches became ap-
parent. series Of conferences among high
way, park, Soldiers Home and Federal plan
ming agencies finally brought general agree
ment on the cutting Of highway through
the grounds that would serve the dual pur-
pose Of providing access to the hospitals and
enabling traffic to make shortcut between
the Northwest and Northeast sections Of the
city. The link will be along the line Of Irv-
inc street passing lust north Of the hospital
site. All officials who contributed toward
the working out Of this plan merit the

Mr.. Eden's Formidable Step

Britain's Foreign Secretary Eden was
not exaggerating when he told the London
Conference that his governments pledge to
maintain four divisions and tactical air
force, or their equivalent, on the mainland
of Europe and not to Withdraw them against
the wishes Of majority OF the Brussels
treaty powers was ''for us very formidable
step to take" For even with the reServa-
~tions that accompanied this promise the
possibility that the forces might be removed
In event Of IAN acute overseas emergency"
or that the financial responsibilities in
volved might be submitted to the North At
lantic Council for review-the pledge Is a
more binding and concrete one in military
terms than ever had been given during eff
forts to make the EDO reality.
In offering his guarantee it is fair to
assume that Mr.. Eden was motivated first
by desire and determination to do every
thing possible to preserve and to strengthen
the collective security effort in Western Eu-
rope, and to clear the way for West German
military participation in that effort. En-
ployment Of the Brussels Treaty organiza-
ton, enlarged to include West Germany and
Italy, provides the vehicle for this latest
plan.
There are two other factors, however,
that undoubtedly contributed to the deci-
sion of the British government One is that
the new setup will not embrace the same
degree of supranational control, with its i'm
piled loss Of sovereignty, as in the con-
templated European Army-a theory that
Britain favored for the West European con-
tinental powers but would not accept for
itself. The other might be found in the do
mestic political situation in Britain today,
and particularly in the Endorsement Of Ger
man rearmament voted earlier this week
by the British Labor Party conference at
Scarborough.
Latest polls in Britain show that the
high tide Of Conservative popularity was
reached several months ago and that senti-
ment currently is running toward the Labor
Party. general election is expected in
England next year and showing that the
Labor Party was opposed to German rearm-
ament-the position taken by the followers
of Aneurin Bevan-would have created q
dangerous political issue between the two
parties. Up to now, former Prime Minister
Attlee has kept the Labor Party lined up
with the Conservative government on the
rearmament question and his latest victory
even though a narrow one-at Scar
borough keeps this issue out of the area Of
interparty strife.
This does not mean, of course, that
British public opinion necessarily is strongly
in favor of German rearmament. There
are doubts and misgivings in Britain, as
well as in France, but the Conservative gov
ernment has taken this opportunity to act
courageously. It deserves commendation
for taking its formidable STEP"
