Of violating the firearms act.
Mr.. Eelands more serious error, however,
came when he allowed himself to be caught
"tailing" Mr.. Granville Hammer, second baseman
for the Philadelphia Phillies. Obviously, q
private eye operating so publicly that the object
Of his attentions can turn him over to the
police is showing something less than the skill
of the usual storybook shadow. In fact, Mr.. Bob
Carpenter, who employs Mr.. Hammer to play
second base and who employed Mr.. Leland to
watch Mr.. Hammer when Mr.. Hammer was not
playing second base, has been quick to acknowl-
elge an error Of his own. II hired the wrong
man (Mr. Leland, not Mr.. Hamner) to do the
job," Mr.. Carpenter explained.
There is, of course, normal hazard in
VOWED here. When Mr.. Hammer was first en-
ployed for example, he was hardly as adept a
"glove man" or as feared1a hitter as he is today.
It is possible even that Mr.. Leland, given bit
more experience perhaps season failing some
minor leaguer-would develop into a~more ef-
fective operator. Many youngster, it says on
the sports page, has been ruined by bringing
him along too fast. That must have happened
to Mr.. Leland.

No Longer Cup Thot Cheers

read in The Star that Thomas E.
Dewey's remark that people should
switch from coffee (now $1.36 pound,
although the frost cut down imports
only Is per cent? to milk has South
american diplomats boiling. and that
the Brazilian Ambassador stated such
talk is a blow to hemisphere soli-
darity."
For my part. I am perking over my
self. particularly when read that Mr..
O'Conner, president of the National
Coffee Association of the United States,
also protested Gov. Dewey's idea.
Mr.. O'Conner should not take quite so
seriously the things the South American
diplomats say. for naturally they work
in the interest of their own countries.
II wish that could say the same for
ours. Hemisphere solidarity" indeed!
Why forever this one-way street? What
have the Latin Americans ever done for
us but appropriate our investments and
revile us and demand more and more
handouts? They thought so little of
being good neighbor during the Ko-
rean war that, despite their tremendous
source Of manpower, their contribution
was one battalion from little Colombia.
So much for hemisphere solidarity. So
much for the cause of freedom.
We have run altruism into the ground.
It is selfiShly and unscrupulously. and
nonchalantly taken for granted and
taken advantage Of. The allies whom
we have bent over backward to help,
from economics to the grim horrors of
war. have for the most part turned out
to be nothing but fair weather friends.
They make implausible excuses about
not being able to 20 along with us
because we have no foreign policy, but
it is rather bewildering to try to i'm
plement foreign policy when the allies
upon whom you depend refuse to turn
a hand or tighten their own belts.
Let us depart from these one-sided
alliances and turn to those who are
willing to put shoulder to the wheel
with us. And let us leave to Mr.. O'Con-
ner and his ilk the shedding of tears
for the poor Brazilian coffee planters.
According to all the figures, they are
indeed reaping handsome profit.

hope The Star was not presenting
this piece as objective analysis of the
United States position on diplomatic
recognition.
The essence Of this speech appears to
be that recognition may follow the "de
facto" or the Legitimacy" principle,
that the "de facto" principle is superior,
and that British practice "has always
conformed fairly, closely to the de facto'
principle"
It would be most unfortunate If
Observation-Disclosures their views on
Communist China-accepted the idea
that diplomatic recognition merely in
wolves choice between these two prin-
cipleS. This would beg the question by
ignoring the essential merits of the
issue involved. assure you that Brit
ain does not disregard her interest in
the particular issue in order to apply a
principle-nor do we, If our statesmen
are alert. AS recognition is an incident
of diplomacy and the purpose Of di-
plomacy is to protect the national inter-
est. the application Of principle to the
particular problem will depend on
which principle better serves the ma
tional interest. Thus Britain, in her
struggle with Nazi Germany. very prop
erly applied the principle Of legitimacy
to Nazi governments in Norway and the
Netherlands and harbored on her own
soil legitimate refugee governments
which were powerless symbols entirely
dependent on the success of the Allied
cause for restoration to power.
do not propose to analyze the Com
munlst China issue. do suggest that
candor requires Sir Roger to admit that
recognition was an action taken by
Britain in what she conceived to be her
own best interest. The United States
has rejected recognition because we
have not been able to reconcile it with
our own best interest. Discussion should
begin with analysis of our conflicting
interests and not with suggestion that
the conflict of interest does not exist
or that we should follow a principle
against our own best interests.

Another Frontier Yields to Education
/ By Jessie Font Evans

yXTNNNG Of the West was speeded
Wv by little one-r00m SchOolhCuses
presided over by teachers who followed
ID the dusty wake Of prairie wagons
hauling pioneer families across the
plains.
Today. mobile schools are breaking
down the last educational frontiers in
the United States By carrying the three
RS to isolated areas Of the 17-million-
acre Navajo Indian Reservation sprawl
ing over Arizona. New Mexico and Utah.
The man leading this foray on behalf
Of some $4,000 Navajo youngsters is the
new. forward looking United States
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs. Glenn
Government was q well-known banker
in Gallup. N. Mex.
The on-the-scene spark plug for this
far-hung educational odyssey Is Carl
w. Beck, field representative for Com
missioner Emmons. Mr.. Beck's own
early education was obtained in . one
room border town school in Arizona.
where he learned Spanish from his.
playmates along with his formal school,
ing. He has been an Indian Service
career employe since, as q senior at the
University Of Arizona under the presi-
dency Of DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, now
president Of George Washington Uni
versity. he got a summer job on an
Indian reservation.
For Is years Mr.. Beck served in differ
ent capacities on the Navajo Reserva-
tion; he learned their language, and
gained their confidence through his
sympathetic understanding and sense
of fair play. He knows thousands Of
Navajos by name and their faces light
UP as he approaches, for to them he
will always be "Belinthakizi, the Man
on the Spotted Horse" This was q
pinto he once rode on his rounds among
them and to their tribal ceremonies.
BY way Of stressing what even an
elementary education can do for the
Navajos. and what they can do for
this country Of which they are full
fledged citizens. Mr.. Beck proudly
points to the records Of the over 5000
Navajo servicemen in World War II
and in the Korean conflict, and Of the
$4,000 Navajos engaged in defense prof.
ects. MANY served with distinction,
particularly in the Marine Signal
Corps" he said. '"Their native language
was even used as code-and that's one
