The Star on July 80 reported that
Representative Morano Of Connecticut
had introduced resolution to provide
money to erect and maintain statue
in France similar to the Statue of Lib
erty in New York Harbor which was
presented by France to the United
States.
Is it too much for the taxpayers Of
the United States to expect that mem
bers of Congress. who represent their
interests, should know little Of the
past history Of our country?
Inasmuch as France. country filled
with statues, has long since received
such statue as symbol Of our re-
spect for the French, will the presenta-
ton of duplicate statue at this crucial
time in Frances history, create good
will among the French people or arouse
contempt for capitalistic country,
which is constantly being agitated by
the Communists?

Dear Sir:
Several Of your readers have ex-

like to pass on to them an idea which
brought more birds to my fields and
woods last fall and winter than have
ever seen there before.
II did not NOV the field in front
of my cottage last summer. and as a
result it became a free-lunch stand for
hundreds of birds daily all during the
winter. Even when the ground was
covered with snow had plenty of
birds singing to me in thanks for the
free weed seed.
II really believe I had more birds
last fall and winter than have around
the cottage at present because last
winter had the best feed supply.

any of your readers can do so that they
let a field or patch of weeds and grass
remain during the winter for the birds.

The very interesting article by Frank
Sartwell. jr.. III the July 80 issue Of The
Star, entitled "Capital Yacht Club to
Honor Three on Roster Half Century"
leads me to cat attention to the fact
that, in my opinion. the one who should
be entitled to be first on the list to be
honored when the club meets at Gales
vile. Md. August IL, is DR.. Arthur G.
Rauterberg, the founder Of the club.
The Capital Yacht Club is the oldest
Of all the boating organizations in the
National Capital. II the Potomac Boat
Club. which was strictly devoted to
rowing, be excluded The founding of
the club presents an interesting story.
During the fall of 1892, DR.. Arthur C.
Rauterberg. then young medical stu
dent, residing with his father. DR.. Lewis
e. Rauterberg. at 510 Fifth street NV.
had his naphtha launch, the Alert,
anchored in the Potomac River at the
foot Of Ninth street S.W. He conceived
of the idea of forming a boat club.
So, on the 10Th Of October. that year.
he asked eight of his boating cronies to
meet with him on the Alert. which
they did. and the result was that the
club, the Capital Yacht Club. was Or
ganized. DIR. Rauterberg served as the
Clubs first treasurer. and later served
a term as its commodore. J
DIR. Rauterberg is a third-generation
physician Of that name in Washington,
both his father and his grandfather
having been physicians. His love for
boating came to him naturally. When
a youth. his father, DR.. Lewis E. Raut-
erberg, had a summer home on Black
stone Island, and he and his son Arthur
often sailed between there and the
Capital in good weather and bad. Many
a time they were caught In storm.
during which navigation on the river
required the skill of seasoned sailor.
Thus the boating fever got into his
blood and 1t has remained with him
ever since.
DR.. Rauterberg is still alive. hale and
hearty at the age of 81. He gave Up
the practice of medicine some years
ago. He is as ardent a boatsman now
as he was when he founded the Capital
Yacht Club He lives most of the year
on his cabin cruiser, the Golandrina,
with which he commutes back and
forth, between Pine Whit Beach, on
Almshouse Creek, a cove Of South
River, in Maryland, where he spends
his summers, and Palatka, on the St.
Johns River, in Florida, where he an
chors for the winter.
The Capital Yacht Club observed its
5Oth anniversary in October, 1912. In
an article written on that occasion by
Malcolm Lamborne, and published in
The Star, October Is, 1912. one Frank
Hahn. since deceased, was mentioned
as the only surviving charter member.
He was the guest of honor. Now Frank
SartwelPS article names three others
as the oldest surviving members. In
neither of those articles was any refer
ence made to DR.. Rauterberg. who was
then, in 1912, and still is living. If
honors are to be conferred upon any
of the clubs members. then it seems
befltting that its founder should be in
cluded.

This blockade will obviously continue

The impending solution of the Suez

II. Voss' analysis Of the Far Eastern
situation. in your issue Of August !.
1854. So much Of 1t Is sound. that It
seems unfortunate that certain rather
fundamental matters seem to have been
ignored.
Probably the most fundamental OF
these is the assumption so many people
make that you can handle Asia sec
tionally. We talk about the Far East,
Middle East, Near East, and during the
last war added South East and South
Asia to the conglomerate. It Is that
assumption which makes Red nibbling
possible. We should have learned long
ago that you can't have one policy for
China, another for Korea, still third
for Indo-C China, Indonesia, what have
you. We must have policy for Asia
policy which recognizes that II world
peace Is ever to be attained 1t will be
attained In Asia, where most Of the
worlds population lives. Such policy
would obviously have to recognize the
awakening that has taken place in
Asia. and the feeling that Japan en-
phaSized so strongly-Asia for the
Asiatics. The problem is not three

as Mr.. Voss states 1t.

Mccarthy Ground Rules

The rules which have been worked out
for the hearing on the charges against Sen
ator Mccarthy deserve to be ranked with
that legendary pudding. the proof Of which
lay in the eating thereof.
Most people will approve the decision
to permit Senator Mccarthy to cross-ex-
anime witnesses who appear against him.
Without this, the hearing would be mani
festly unfair. and could not possibly serve
any constructive basis. If the wisconsin
Senator is to be censured, this should be
done after proceeding which will per-
Suade the maximum number OF people that
he was given full opportunity to defend
himself in fair trial
It is hardly possible, however, to look
at some of the ground rules which have
been announced without wondering what
the end result Of their application is going
to be.
Senator Watkins, chairman of the
hearing committee, says, I'VE intend to
conduct this largely as a judicial inquiry"
which would be something new under the
congressional investigation sun. TeSti-
mony he says, will have to be relevant,
material and given by competent wit
nesses."
What does this mean? Who will be
able to qualify as competent witnesses?
Senator Watkins also has said that
those who have made accusations against
Senator Mccarthy on the Senate floor will
not be called as witnesses unless they have
personal knowledge of the charges" Does
this mean that Senators Flanders, Fulbright
and Morse will not be called as witnesses?
If SO, who is going to give testimony?
These questions are not raised in any
spirit of distrust of the committees good
intentions. It may be worth pointing out,
however, that the Mccarthy controversy
involves his conduct as a Senator He Is
not being accused of any criminal acts. It
is fine to aspire to the level Of judicial in
quiry, competent witnesses and no hearsay
testimony. But the literal application of
such rules, in the climate of this dispute,
could result in an empty and meaningless
hearing. It might be we'll, at any rate, to
wait awhile before pronouncing the pud-
ding good.

whole, different picture would emerge.
All of the free countries of Asia face
the same threat, whether they admit it
or not. Only as the free people of Asia
can get together to present q united
front to communism can progress be
made. It isn't question, as Mr.. Voss
has done, of counting on our fingers
available forces who might fight for us
on Asia's Pacific arc. Rather Is 1t to
consider the attitude and strength OF
all the countries In Asia, and that
would bring in two nations whose
people are among the worlds finest
fighters Turkey and Pakistan-the lat
ter four times the size of the former.
The United States cannot buy sup
port. but it can help tremendously in
building up an organization through
which the people of free Asia can Co
operate in defending themselves. We
have already accomplished thoroughly

her economy and strengthen her defense
forces. We should do the same for PAX
istan. At the moment the contest is
particularly dangerous in india and In
donesia. There the question is whether

up rapidly enough under democratic
governments to prove to the great masses
of people that democratic action is bet
ter than Communist promises. Surely
we have role to play in that.
Just as long as we try to help only at
the immediate trouble spots, Red nib
bling can continue If instead we go
all out to work for the whole continent
not to fight for us-but to fight for
themselves against the spread of COM
munism, can Red nibbling be stopped?
The function of Pakistan in this can
not be too strongly emphasized. Situ-
ated as strategically as she is-this two
part country of 80 million people with
its volunteer army of well over zoe, 900
and q trained reserve Of nearly one
million, many of whom have already
had battle experience-may.b be regarded
as having one foot in East Asia, ad-
joining Burma and Assam, and the
other in the Middle East. She is OBJ
viously one of the keystones in the de-
fense of the whole continent. Her re-
