turer and prepared the way for her own
career In politics. She was elected to the
House OF Representatives In the Miami dis
trict Of Florida in 1928 and reelected In
1880, and she justified the confidence OF her
constituents by tireless service admitted
even by her opponent in her losing drive for
third term in 1892.
Defeat opened the doors Of new oppor-
tunities for Ruth in the field of diplomacy
She went to Denmark as American minister
in 1888, the first woman to be appointed by
a President Of the United States to such a
post. The Danes were delighted with her,
and she confirmed their good opinion by
marrying one Of them. It was to receive a
medal from King Frederick that she re-
turned to Copenhagen recently-to die.
Thus her career has ended on the same
plane as that upon which it began She was
a public servant all her days.
Ruth Bryan Rohde was known to the
Eskimos Of Greenland as Inunguak, name
which translates into English as Dear Real
Human Being" and the title still is apt now
that she is gone.

Mystery of VitiIigo

The $4,000 grant to Howard Univer-
sitys College of Medicine by the Frontiers
of America will finance a three-year study OF
one of the more puzzling of mans diseases,
the little-publicized skin disorder known as
vitiligo. This disease affects the pigmenta-
ton Of the skin in such a way as to cause
the appearance of unsightly and ofttimes
frightening milky-white splotches. Cause
of the affection is unknown and hence
cure has eluded medical science. Learning
that there has been no intensive research
into this disease by any foundation, the
Frontiers of America, q Negro service or
ganization which has been meeting in ma
tional convention here, has voted to sponsor
a special study, at Towards Department OF
Dermatology. Sufferers from the weird all
ment will look forward hopefully to the sue
cess Of the worthwhile undertaking.

Ruth Bryan Rohde

william Jennings Bryan brought his
daughter Ruth to Washington in 1890, when
she was only years of age. This city re-
manned home to her at intervals throughout
the rest of her life. There still are persons
here who can remember her as she was
when her father was a Congressman from
Nebraska and she was pointed out to tour
lists at the Capitol as his "understudy." In
1908 she served as his private secretary on
his campaign tour Of the Nation as Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency.
But Ruth never was 4overshadowed by
the Conmoner. Even as little girl she was
distinctively herself, possessing social
charm which made her popular with thou
sands. Her keen mind and her genial wit
assured her success as ChautauQua lee

Answered Lie

President Eisenhower has given the
Chinese Communists the answer they de-
serve regarding the incident in which our
naval aircraft shot down two Of their fighter
planes off Hainan island. The answer, in
substance, fatty rejects their protest as just
another example of their not-too-artful
use of the big lie technique.
Actually, according to the President,
our planes did not violate Red China's ter
ritory, nor did they engage in an impulsive,
unprovoked attack. They were on a rescue
mission, looking for possible American and
other survivors from the British CONNER
cial airliner that had been barbarously shot
down In the vicinity of Hainan They had
an indubitable right to be there, and an in
dubitable right to defend themselves by
returning the fire when the Chinese fight
ers fired at them.
This version Of what happened has been
effectively confirmed by British Foreign
Secretary Eden. He has done so by pointing
out that Peiping, when informed of the
rescuing operation, threatened to shoot
down any rescue plane except the one that
had first gone to the area. That Is fact
that speaks for itself. The Chinese Com
munist protest merits the dismissal it has
received

How many hundreds Of millions will

Isn't it time we stop and think? Are
we actually accomplishing much in
these foreign expenditures? just think
how many new schools might be con-

vested this money here.
Let us stop and think: let us know
where we are going before we embark
on another spending spree in foreign
countries to stop this aggression.
Are we on the right track? Is our
money well spent? Are we seeing the
thing through? If we do not know the
real cost, then why waste our money?
We must stop this Russian agrees

W-Advised Rider

Last year Representative Mcmillan of
South Carolina succeeded in pushing
through Congress his bill to permit two gas
oline stations to make improvements for
hidden by coming regulations. President
Eisenhower justif1ably vetoed the measure
on the ground that 1t would "subvert" or
derby coming in Washington. Now Mr. Nc
MILAN is seeking to revive the bill by attach
ing it as a rider" on the Senate-paSsed
alley dwelling bill. BY so doing he Is i'm
periling enactment of legislation urgently
needed to do justice to citizens who have
bought and Transformed alley houses into
modern, attractive homes.
The alley dwelling bill, providing for
repeal of an outmoded~ law which would
require abandonment of all dwellings in
Washington alleys by July of next year,
had clear sailing until 1t ran afoul OF the
South Carolinian's plan to give the coming
bill another try. The latter measure would
override zoning rules that prevent modern
ization and enlargement Of two rundown
gasoline service stations in restricted zones.
Mr.. Mcmillan tackled the filling station bill
onto the nom controversial alley bill in the
hope of circumventing the veto. When 1t
became apparent that members Of the
House District Committee were prepared to
attack the rider" on the floor, Mr.. McMil-
Ian raised point Of order against the alley
dwelling bill, on the ground that the COM
mittee reported it without quorum.
MIR. Mcmillan has conceded that the
coming provision can hardly qualify as
"slum" legislation that might appropriately
be included in an alley law. And he asserts
he is in favor of repeating the ban on
restoring and occupying alley houses.
Therefore, 1t behooves him, in good con-
science to withdraw his rider" and his
point of order and let the alley bill pass at
this session. Unless this is done, a unique
alley-improvenent program being con-
Quoted here by private enterprise may be
stopped in its tracks.

Keep the Books Open

Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby has urged
the House District Committee to forbid pub
lie inspection of juvenile arrest records. In
support Of this request, which runs directly
counter to action taken by the Senate, Mrs.
Hobby said the maintenance of public rec
ords would seriously impair the effective
ness of the provisions of the Juvenile Court
statute which protects the court records
from indiscriminate public inspection"
Mrs. Hobby offers nothing to support
her contention that the continuation of
open arrest records would tend to impair
the effectiveness of the Juvenile Court
statute. Nor does The Star believe that the
contention can be supported.
These arrest records have been kept
open in the past by voluntary action Of the
police authorities. Yet they have not at
tracted any army of shoppers bent on ex-
plotting unfortunate juveniles Neither has
the practice resulted in indiscriminate pub
LEGATION of the names of arrested juveniles
by the newspapers. In what respect, then,
have open arrest books impaired the effec-
tiveness of the Juvenile Court or it's statute?
Actually, it is only through access to
these records that any kind of check can be
made on the operation of Juvenile Court.
Admittedly, it is not the most effective
check. It is possible, however, to learn from
these records how many juveniles are ar
rested, how many Of them are repeaters,
and how long 1t is in given case before an
offender is back on the streets after an
arrest, and in trouble again. This, to re-
peat, is not the most desirable kind Of check
on the operation of Juvenile Court. But it
provides some opportunity to form judg-
ment as to the quality Of the courts per-
Torrance. All else is concealed behind the
secrecy imposed by the Juvenile Court law,
and the only real effect of Mrs. Hobby's pro-
posal would be to render this blackout total
and complete. It is hard to believe that
this would be in the true interests Of the
public, or even of the court itself.

we should like to comment on the
letter of July 10 by Nish Showers In
which sweeping statements are made
about the people who live in the slums.
Mr.. Showers does not indicate what
his experience with these people has
been. The Washington Housing Asso-
citation has known the people OF the
slums for 30 years. and we believe our
experience is pertinent and of interest.
Mr.. Showers remark that slum jewellers
don't want to know anything else" has
not been borne out in our experience.
We know from intimate f1rst-hand
knowledge that in most instances these
people are all too painfully aware OF
the inadequacies and degradation OF
their environment, and want out" Our
study Of the notorious Temperance
Court, which led to its condemnation
and demolition. clearly indicated that
virtually all Of the residents desperately
wanted more adequate housing. VIVA
is currently conducting housing sur
vey in six-block area around Vermont
avenue, Eleventh street and r street
NV. Every day tenants talk to us
about their housing problems, fully
aware of them

the slums. who never have known de-
cent housing and decent environ
ment. and who perhaps are not aware
of how to live in more desirable sur
roundings, VIVA believes that the COM
munity has real responsibility toward
them. These people need help in full
filling their destiny as alert. useful citi-
zens of the worlds greatest democracy.
We believe with President Eisenhower
that we should work toward "the as
surance that all American families can
live in the kind of home and commun-
ity environment that conform to this
countrys nigh standards"
Mr.. Showers is concerned because
slum clearance is going to be Every
costly to the taxpayers" Perhaps he is
unaware of the exorbitant cost of
slums. Forty cents of every one of his
tax dollars must now be spent in the
slums. He must pay for extra medical
care, police, courts, etc.. because slums
are breeding grounds for juvenile de-
linquency, disease and crime. And
while he Is paying 40 per cent of his
taxes into slums, Washington is getting
only per cent of its taxes from the
slum areas.
Dollars and cents wise, slums are
luxury which we can't afford. But
there are other aspects, even more i'm
portant. We should like to quote from
an editorial in the Chicago Daily News
during its recent crusade against slum
owners:
"The picture in human terms is even
Hxyi1.
conditions of such hopeless degradation
as to crush their spirit and rob them
OF the ability either to help themselves
or be useful to society.
I'm human terms, also, must be writ
ten the appalling revelations of greed
and callousneSS that create these con-
ditions and fatten upon the victims.
ut is picture that some perhaps,
would prefer not to see. Were the same
conditions to prevail in the zoo, these
people might join in the outraged pro-
test that animals should not be sub
jected to such inhumanity.
Some others are able to persuade
themselves that the fault lies with the
inhabitants of these slums. No doubt
they stop short Of believing that moth
ers purposely contrive to spend anxious
nights, hopefully burning light, for
fear that the rats will attack the ba-
bies."
VIVA is confident that when the
citizens of the District are aware of the
real meaning Of slum clearance, they
will be glad to pay taxes toward this
most vital endeavor.

Mr.. Rhee's Appeal

!. There Is nothing nothing at all-in
the cards to indicate that Syngman Rhees
appeal for preventive war against the
Communists will meet with favorable
response.
Our decision has been made. We are
going to continue to try to live at peace with
the Communist world, and we will not re-
sort to war unless there is an attack. Our
officials could hardly do otherwise, even If
they wished. For government In a free
nation must reckon with public opinion,
and there is no evidence that public opin-
ion in the United States would support d
preventive war; or any other kind Of war
in which we would strike the first blow.
TO say this, however, is not to imply
any reproach to Mr.. Rhee. When he spoke
to the Congress, the 79-year-old President
Of the Republic Of Korea was, as he said,
telling you honestly what is In my mind
and heart" And certainly we have not
reached the point in this country where
honest counsel is to be rebuked with harsh
words.
More than half century has passed
since Syngman Rhee first learned that
prison and cruel torture can be the reward
Of those who aspire to liberty. But neither
pI1SOl IlOI COIGuIe IOI UlIIcT OlSdppOlIlL-
ment has diminished the ardor Of his de-
votion to the goal of free Korea. The
spirit of this man has survived everything
that could be brought against 1t. So when
he speaks to us, we can well afford to listen.
Mr.. Rhee does not believe in the pos
Sibility of what we call peaceful co-exist-
ence." He sees the enen1ys Jet bombers
only 10 minutes away from his capital city
Of Seoul. And yet he is persuaded that
death is scarcely closer to Seoul than to
Washington" In one sense he is right. The
world has almost become that small. And
If Washington today enjoys measure of
immunity which is denied to Seoul, it will
not enjoy it for long. The time is not far
off when hydrogen weapons, fast jets and
guided missiles will give the Soviet Union
the means Of striking right at the heart Of
America.
The question is whether the Russians,
once they acquire these weapons in suff1-
cient quantity, will use them. Mr.. Rhee
thinks that they will We are betting that
they will not. But it is futile to debate the
matter. No one will know who is right or
who is wrong unless and until the blow falls.
And II it should fall, there will be precious
little satisfaction for those who survive in
having an answer to the question.
So instead of arguing the matter, let
us be content to pay tribute to man whose
patriotism and devotion have been tested
in the hot fires, and who, whether he be
right or wrong, remains an inspiration to
any one who can be inspired by unfaltering
courage and high example.

Opens Shaw
Friday Game

AS a preliminary to the Shaw
Lakewood football game at Shaw
Stadium, Friday night, the cham
pion Superior team of the East
Cleveland Grade School Football
League will play an All-Star team
made up of players from the other
five teams in the league. Their
game will start about $50 p. m.
The boys will use the 100-yard
field and will play 8-minute
quarters. The boys play with a
flag extended from the back of
their pants. When the flag is
pulled, or the ball is dropped, play
is stopped and the offensive team
loses a down. There is no use of
the hands on offense or defense.
Any member of the team is ellig-
ible to receive pass except the
passer himself. Boys use contact
blocks only and cannot leave their
feet to block.
The champions were coached by
Ray Vinborg of the Superior
faculty.
On the team are Bob Augusta,
Bob Yanoshm, Charles Brining,
Jack Brown, Don DeHaas, Bob
Brunke, David Barnes, Orin Mar
vim, Kurt Bertschinger, Art San
toro, Bob Forniti, Steve Martis,
Joe DeLeese, Harold Liller, Tom
Parkhurst, Wilson Rick, Santo
Schiciano, Aaron Steiner.

them at this dance"
Again, refreshments will be
available at the music department
operated concession, with tables
conveniently arranged for a chat
