mentioned In passing that the late President
signed the bill in 1914. But this was too much
for the superpartiSans on Capitol Hill, and the
VA heard from them forthwith heard their
wrathful denunciations, their anguished cries.
their outraged expletives and their laundering
demands that the verboten name be expunged
instantly. And SO the job was done without
further ado, unceremoniously, on as many cop
les as possible.
Democratic Senator Hill of Alabama has
shown admirable restraint in describing all this
as unbelievable pettifoggery." If there were
no air conditioning on Capitol Hill, one could
dismiss the thing as an excusable incident born
of the summer heat But the Congressman in
question, whoever they may be, have cool Offices
cooler than their heads-and they should feel
slightly ashamed of themselves.

Lessol, IN Delinquency


Well, I've learned something about
juvenile delinquency. My sister. widow
of 72 years. has lovely two-acre plot
of ground In the Suburbs-lotS Of fruit
trees, flowers, shrubs, etc. It is some
thing of an oasis in the midst Of
desert of thick population. School boys
Of 5 to Is years invade these premises,
climb the fruit trees. pick the perfectly
green fruit, climb on top Of the old
stable building, (Which they have now.
wrecked), pull the flowers, and have a
gay time destroying what she works so
hard to build up. My sister, who Is alone
during the day, often must call to the
boys to get out of the trees, or desiSt
from their merry making on her place.
The boys are SO per cent defiant, some
times picking up sticks in menacing
attitude. She warns them I'm going
to call the police" Their reply "Go
ahead and call them, we've not afraid
of the cops"
The other night scout car pulled
in the yard to investigate a complaint
that had been made by some mother
in the neighborhood. Her son had told
her that Mrs. K (my sister, had struck
him. During the inquiry (Which I must
admit was very friendly my sister
stated that she would not dare strike
any of these treSpassers, even in de-
fense of her own property. Some boy,
probably peeved at being invited to
leave the fruit trees until the fruit is
ripe" evidently ran home crying to ma
and told her lie. saying he had been
struck by some female ogre (Mrs. X.
The horribly offended boys doting
mother naturally knew her darling had
been maltreated by the ogre (Mrs. X.
I wonder if she asked him where he was
and what he had been doing at the
time he was so viciously attacked. OF
course he had a right to treSpaSS on
another's property.
But here's the payof. During the
aforementioned police inquiry. the
sympathetic policeman, very pleasant
fellow, was asked Cant you boys do
anything to instill into these young
rapscalions some respect for authority
and property? You seem to be afraid
of them" 1--WE are" he replied. 1--WE
take one of these offenders to juvenile
court and they dismiss the case"
So there you have it. The parents
back up their young ones in their mis-
chief, or are totally Indifferent to it.
and the courts permit the prestige and
dignity of the police to atrophy.
Well, my friends, you may pooh-pooh
my anxiety as to the future, but you,
the public. are going to pay for this
Indifference. because crime, born OF
juvenile delinquency. is increasing and
you are responsible, because you are
dreaming away the happy hours.

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
"Your recent very moving story Of
an experience when Templeton Jones

It would be difficult to conclude, from the
reports published here that Anthony Eden'S
remarks in the House of Commons necessarily
foreShadow harmonious and successful meet
ing when he and Prime Minister Churchill
arrive in Washington. Still less can this be
said of the comments which Clement Attlee,
opposition leader, had to offer.
Presumably Mr.. Eden was not speaking
with the unguarded candor of public official
who is free to disregard both domestic politics
and his international bargaining position.
When he and Mr.. Churchill sit down in WASH
ington with President Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles, the give-and- of discussion may not
follow the line of the parting remarks in the
House Of Commons. Still, there are certain
danger signals which should not be overlooked.
One of these is the remarks of Mr.. Attlee.
He said he thinks that "the real obstacle to
settlement in Korea is the failure to recognize
ChinaS position and for China to have her
proper place in the United Nations" Then, in
an obvious reference to the United States, Mr..
Attlee added: "As long as China is obstinately
kept outside the United Nations she must in
evitably regard them as hostile bloc" The
inference, presumably, is that if China were to
be admitted to the United Nations she would
thereafter regard them as friendly bloc.
It is fair to say that long and unhappy
record OF appeaSemenC argues against any Sucn
conclusion Perhaps Red China should be in
the U. N. But there is no reason to believe that
she is going to be converted from hostile to
friendly power merely by virtue of being in
vited in. The ambitions of powerful, needy and
aggressive rulers are not so easily satisfied
Mr.. Eden did not say that he agreed with
Mr. Attlee, and the chances are that he does
not agree on this point. There was a Sugges-
ton in his remarks, however, that he still is
unwilling to accept serious risks in Asia, and
that he is not satisfied that Geneva has blasted
hopes of a negotiated settlement with the
Communists.
This, of course, may be a misinterpretation
of Mr.. EdenS views. If not, however, the point
should be urged upon him in the forthcoming
talks that the Communists have made Signif1-
cant gains in Asia while the West marked time
at Geneva. A further point should also be made
namely, that there is no assurance of security
in Mr.. EdenS proposal for Locarno-like nom
aggression pact and Southeast Asian NATO
without willingness to assume risks; in this
instance, grave risks.

GuiItyPress

The press, a good portion of which spends
much of it's time deploring the junior Senator
from Wisconsin, must be credited with very
substantial and entirely unnecessary assist in
his rise to national fame.
This comes about in three types of press
treatment of the speeches and activities OF
prominent people. The first type is the He
Didn't Mention Mccarthy but We Knoxville
Meant -to-So-We'll-D -It-for- Him. The second
is the He Said = Five Thousand Words On =
Something Else and Fifteen on-McCarthy-
and It's Up to Us : to Put 1t-in-Proper-
Perspective The third is the Nobody-Even-
Thought-About-M McC Carthy- y-and-We-JuSt-Can't-
Conceal-Our- Surprise.
The first method is used when Senator K
or Secretary ascends the public platform and
makes some passing reference to "divisive influ-
ences" or "diSruptive forces" The news stories
on this generally begin: Elm an obvious refer
ence to Senator Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, Secretary today said"
The headline which accompanies this ac-
count is equally thoughtful OF the Senator's
interests. It usually reads, Secretary Blasts
Mccarthy" or "New Administration Attack on
Mccarthy" or something comparable
The second method-the Five Thousand
o-Fifteen- usually happens when some member
of the cloth makes an apparent but 1eeting
reference to the Wisconsin Senator. TneSe
stories begin: 1.-THE Reverend So-and-So made
a sashing attack on Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin tonight. The Reverend
So-and-So's topic actually was The Need for
Better ChoirS in Rural Churches At the end
of his hour-long address, Reverend So-and-So
said: That goes for Senator Mccarthy too"
The third method - They-Didn t-Thlnk-
About-Him- -and- We n't-Believe-It-iS fire.
uuently carried to extraordinary lengths. One
of the best examples occurred recently when
patriotic organization gathered in Washington.
Meeting in the midst of widespread con-
troversy over the activities of Senator Joseph
R. Mccarthy" one story began, "the Daughters
of the American Revolution completely ignored
the Wisconsin Republican in their opening
session" Daughters Ignore Mccarthy" the
headline said.
Now, it is probably true that all of these
people, even the ones who don't give any indi-
cation of thinking about him, have the Senator
from Wisconsin somewhere in mind. But it is
also perfectly legitimate to wonder, as innu-
merable readers must, why the press feels 1t has
to go way out into right field and drag him into
the center of the picture by the scruf OF the
neck when on many occasions nobody has even
mentioned him at all.

Approval to Inteqrotion

have followed comments on public
school integration, and one OF the best
was a story by James G. Deane in The
Star June Is, reporting on the special
assembly called by Prof. Charles E..
Bish, principal Of Mckinley High
School.
It was reported that there were 600
students present and the entire faculty.
and for As minutes the professor held
them spellbound while he outlined his
program for the next school year under
the integration setup. He stated that
che wouldn't be any place else but at
Mckinley next year for all the money
in the world" This consider a great
challenge to all others in like positions
Prof. Bish advised his assembly to
take as their guide the Golden Rule,
"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you." How much better
would be the condition OF the world
today if each would apply the Golden
Rule.
Prof. Bish admonished them that
President Eisenhower will be anxiously
concerned about how we measure up to
the challenge of the responsibilities
which are ours.
have called attention to many Of the
highlights in the article of Mr.. Deane.
not because you did not read it, but
because I wanted you to join with me
in paying this small tribute to one who
is blazing the trail for great future.
Prof. Bish, keep up the good work
and victory will be yours.

Permitting each child to go to the
school of his own choice might result
in white schools remaining about as
white as ever.
Yet there would be this profound
difference: With the undeniable stigma
of segregation off the books, each
colored child is bound to feel a real
enhancement of personality, lifting
of the human spirit within, a releasing
of creative power.
Since segregation still has some roots
in the conventions and prejudices OF
us whites, much time will pass before
unofficial segregation ends entirely.
Problems will keep coming up. Yet it
will aid us greatly to remember that

is always Christian way"

ing to the help of the Chinese.
There is a second way in which our
Intervention would be elf-defeating.
Our support of the French makes us the
defenders of colonialism. The Asians
and Africans are rebelling against this
yoke, which we revolted against in
1776. Our support of it makes us ap-
pear their enemies. Naturally, that pre-
disposes them to view Russia and COM
munism favorably.
Our weapons, lin French hands, are
