This and That !.

Templeton Jones found q book prom
Using eternal youth and health through
Yoga.
He wasn't altogether sure he wanted
eternal youth. what with juvenile de-
linquency and the like, but he rather
fancied eternal health.
The book said that Yoga was not
a religion, nor was its teacher, the
YOGI. priest or minister.
The whole thing was midas ancient
way Of correlating, or attempting to
correlate, the body, mind and spirit,
which sounded a great deal like the
YMCA to Jones.
The first thing Jones did was dis
cover he had no pulse.
The book dealt with deep breath

doc" Jones rushed in. and rushed
out. He was, in day long gone,
more like the medical man of today,

patients.
DR. Jones did very well with young
Temp Jones. right from the jump
Temp was so small that he could
be put in quart cup, and was; he
has no personal recollection of it, but
heard about it many times.

Arms for Middle East

No man will dispute the truism that
American foreign policy should be de-
voted to the preservation of peace and
the prevention of war. Yet in at least
one area we are contemplating a pro-
gram which. in my view, will bring US
closer to war than to peace.
Secretary of State Dulles has con-
flrmed that our Government is con-
templating sending arms to Iraq and
Saudi Arabia, as part of Middle East
defense alliance
Both Iraq and Saudi Arabia are
members of the Arab League which
went to war against Israel FIVE years
ago in defiance of a United Nations
resolution. Neither has yet seen At to
conclude an armistice agreement with
Israel To this day they consider them
selves at war with her.
Both countries. individually and
through the Arab League, are partici-
pating in an organized campaign to
destroy Israel by boycott, blockade or
worse.
themselves use these arms. they may
turn them over to those who will. On
January II the Arab League Council.
which includes the foreign ministers
and defense ministers Of both countries,
approved plan to supply Jordan with
arms. What is to prevent them from
taking American arms and turning
them over to Jordan, as they pledged
themselves to do?
Every peace-loving person must be
alarmed at this proposal of our State
Department Surely it would be mis-
take of the most serious kind and could
lead to the very violence it is supposed
to prevent. The exalted vision of the
Biblical prophet that nation shall not
lift up sword against nation" will not
ever be fulfilled unless we utilize our
great moral resources to stay the hand
Of would-be aggressors.

The word odd" in reference to the
family doctor, was not at all disre-
spectful. To the young Jones family.
this prepay '90s doctor seemed anci-
ent. indeed. He probably was no more
than so.
Templeton Jones does recall his
bouts with pneumonia in his 5th and
9Th summers
In those days there were no miracle
drugs.
There was only the f1axseed poultice,
or jacket.
The latter was quilted affair made
of cotton.
The hot flaxseeds were spread on
the inner surface of the jacket. front
and back, and then the whole was
bound around the body and kept
there.
It was not exactly pleasant, but it
seemed to work" at least they all
thought it did. It was the best they
had for many years To today's med
icine. their methods seem crude, but
they often got results, due to the heal
ing power of nature.
Have you found your pulse yet?"
Some one broke in on Templeton
Jones meditations.
NO" he confessed, mot yet. But
it must be there!"

Recollection Of Zouuves

The article in The Star. January 10,
by Francis p. Douglas on the New York
Fire Zouaves recalls to me an episode
In my fathers life.
On July 20, 1861, Dad-John Alex
ander Beall-then 10. was living in
Georgetown. Among the first Of the
fiotsam and jetsam Of the Union Army
pouring into Washington after the first
defeat at Manassas were several Fire
Zouaves. One big fellow propped him.
self against wall and detained to
the passersby that he and his compan-
ions were the last of the regiment
that they had been attacked and cut
to pieces and annihilated by the Vir-
ginia Black Horse Cavalry, consisting
Of 500 big men on big black horses.
While he was still talking. more and
more Of the Zouaves came by. Before
the day was over practically the whole
regiment was in Washington.
week later Dad rode through the
Federal and Confederate. picket lines
to Manassas to see about some property
owned by his mother He was inter-
cepted by q Confederate patrol and
taken into. as 1t CHANGED, the camp of
the Black Horse Cavalry. He there
found that that outfit consisted of
about IS men. Of whom less than 10
had black horses. Several Marylanders
whom he knew were with the troop"
When he gave them the story the
Zouave had told the Georgetown people
they were much amused and said that
the Fire Zouave regiment had shown
very little fight and had in fact fed
miserably. This was confirmed in Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston's presence.

It is interesting to note that the. ma
jority Of Senate Republicans favor the
Bricker amendment although it would
restrict the treaty-making power Of a
Republican President. Thus. no Dem
ocrat should oppose this measure for
the unsound reason that 1t may have
been motivated by narrow partisan pol

Rebuff for India

tr It appears certain now that nothing will
come of midas ill-advised proposal to recon-
vene the General Assembly on February for
q special session to discuss the Korean question.
To be effective the proposal must be backed by
a majority (31> Of the United Nations, but only
14-chiefy the Soviet bloc and Asian-African
countries-have agreed to it so far, and the
indications are that only few other members
will do likewise.
India thus faces kind of rebuff primarily
because most of the U. N. members believe that
an Assembly session on Korea would serve no
good purpose at this time. On the contrary,
besides cutting across the Big Four foreign
ministers conference in Berlin, it would in all
probability be used by the Communists tor
propaganda attacks on the West-attacks that
would exploit the wholly unjusti1ed Indian
charge that the United Nations Command has
violated the armistice in liberating the anti
Red prisoners of war.
This liberating act, carried out in keeping
with the letter and spirit of the truce agree
ment, has been fully Endorsed by U. N. Secre-
tary-General Dag HammarSkjold. Having made
it, however the Indians are now stuck with 1t.
Accordingly if the General Assembly were to
convene on February 9, they presumably would
rise to make speeches in defense of their inde-
feasible accusation, and that in turn would
undoubtedly set of new barrages OF mendacity
and vituperat,on from the Communist propa-
gandists In short, far from helping to improve
the Korean situation. a special Assembly session
would tend to aggravate it.
Actually, it is difficult to see any reason
whatever for early u N. Intervention in this
matter. The Indians apparently feel that such
Intervention is necessary to speed up the con-
vening of Korean political conference. But
that seems to be naive view when considered

stalled the preliminary talks at Panmunjom.
Regardless of what the United Nations may or
may not do, Korea will never become the sub
3ect of real peace parley unless and until the
Peiping and Pyongyang regimes-and behind
them the Kremlin-make up their minds that
they have nothing further to gain from filibus-
tering against one.

An Unwise Suggestion

While it was good to note that the new
budget provides allotments for the George
washington Memorial Parkway in Virginia and
for extension Of stream valley parks in nearby
Maryland, it was disturbing to find in the docu-
ment another hint Of Federal abandonment Of
the Capper-C ramton program. Such an aban-
donment would be serious mistake.
t Last year there were reports from the
Budget Bureau that consideration was being
given to hating all further Federal appropria-
lions under the Capper- Cramton park-develop-
ment program and dumping into the laps OF
Maryland and Virginia. the job Of completing
the program. There were immediate and Wig
orous protests from public and private sources
and justihably So The year ended with no
money appropriated. AS a result, Virginia
appropriation to meet the States share Of the
George Washington Memorial Parkway extern
sion expired with the advent of the new General
Assembly, and retiring Governor Battle made
no effort to revive the item in the next budget
Inclusion of $3.50 fund for the parkway in
the budget for the National Capital Planning
Commission may help to stimulate action by
Virginia. Only $126000 was provided for pur-
chase of stream valley land in Maryland.
In commenting on these small allocations
the budget made this significant statement:
1.-THE 1855 program has been draSticaly reduced
to include only projects which would be con-
sidered necessary even in the event of Federal
withdrawal from this program" Actually, only
the Budget Bureau has ever suggested this with
drawal. It is very unwise suggestion and one
that Congress should reject firmly and promptly

Ten Cents Per Trunsit Mile

If Washington had any civic pride it
would not permit the Wolfson interests
and the Public Utilities Commission
to raise transit fares. Unfortunately.
there are no civic groups to come to
the citizens defense, since most are out
of-towners with no roots here
1t is disgusting to note that transit
officials are disappointed with the 20
cent fare raise! What does WolfSon
want, besides letting the public take
his white elephant off his hands,
25-cent fare?
The average transit rider goes less
than two miles on the average ride, I'm
told. At 20 cents a ride, that is 10
cents mile, the highest cost of any
form of transportation in this country.
Ten cents mile covers more than rail-
road fare. plus drawing room on the
finest luxury train! 1t is higher than the
most de luxe air travel per mile! What
do transit officials want?
Please, Commissioners, let the taxis
operate at two passengers for 40 cents,
three for so. and let's forget about

Family Court

Implicit in the advocacy of waiver
OF jurisdiction over serious ohenSeS
from the juvenile court to the criminal
courts are two assumptions:
l. That the criminal courts are well
equipped to handle young offenders.
However. our criminal laws and their
administration are neither enlightened
nor particularly successful in rehabili-
tating criminals and protecting the
community. We still have large num-
bers Of recidivists, and the threat of
punishment has never been a very sue
cessful deterrent to the commission of
crimes. To remove the more serious
offenders from juvenile court Jurisdic-
ton is to reverse the course of Anglo
American Jurisprudence toward the
more humane treatment of crime.
2. That juvenile courts are created
to palliate our conscienceS, and not to
solve serious problems. The notion that
juvenile courts were never intended to
cope with serious offenders makes
hypocritical the establishment of any
juvenile court, because it says in effect
that, I'VE will try to help you by means
Of social case work and psychiatric
data if you haven't done anything
really bad; but if you are bad, then
off to jail with YOU"
Failure to implement with adequate
social services and trained personnel
the sound basic premise upon which
Juvenile courts are established dooms
them to ineffectiveness But resort to the
criminal courts is an easy, rather than
a good. answer. Rather than throw up
our hands when confronted with what
Miss Gutenberg refers to as hardened
sophisticates, we should work for the
establishment of comprehensive fam
lily court with jurisdiction over all do
nestle relations problems including
juvenile delinquency. for surely no
child is delinquent outside of the con-
text of his family Such a comprehen-
sive court. adequately stated, could do
job which would be both curative
and preventive, by virtue of its juris-
diction over the entire family and all
Of its problems. Beatrice Naftalin.
