Hot Weather Politics

The controversy between Represent
alive Celler OF Brooklyn and Secretary of
Commerce Weeks is marked by an album
dance of sound and fury-most of it
emanating from the Celler side But it is
hard for the onlooker to know what the
shouting is all about.
Mr.. Celler, as chairman of the House
Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee, wants
to explore the files of the Business Advi-
sorry Council, an organization of business
leaders set up in 1888 to advise the Sec
rotary Of Commerce. 1t is difficult to see
the connection between a fishing expedi-
ton Of this sort and any legitimate con-
gresSional interest in the antitrust laws.
But Mr.. Celler is threatening to send
somebody to jail for contempt If he
doesn't get the files, and Mr. Weeks is
just as determined not to let him have
them.
There, for the moment the matter
stands. Mr.. Celler is taking of for Eu-
rope, but he is also threatening, when he
returns in October, to subpoena whole
slew Of people" in order to get what he
wants
One of those he proposes to summon
to Washington is Harold Boeschenstein,
head of Corning Fiberglas Corpo-
ration. MIR. Boeschenstein is chairman
of the Business Advisory Council. He is
also an upright and able man who rem
dered distinguished service to this Gov
eminent during the war years in Wash
ington. 1t might be helpful to all con-
cerned if Mr.. Celler were to have chance
to sit down and talk with him.

Last Sunday I listened over
the radio to a very nice musical
program by the Air Force.
In between numbers they
urged young men to Join the
Air Force and become jet
pilots.
Then on Monday l read in
the paper the account of the
terrible hardships and torture
our II airmen had undergone
while prisoners of the Red
Chinese.
Is that what the Air Force
has to offer? If our young
men offer their lives for their
country, it behooves our coun-
try to stand up for them and
back them up at every turn.
If our country has become so
week kneed that it is afraid
to stand up to a foe like the
Red Chinese, how then can
it ask its young men to fight
for their country? If our
Government didn't have the
CUTS to stand up to the Red
Chinese and say Release those
men, or else" how can they
expect the Young men to Join

Rice Bowl Often Empty

1t may be true, as some of
your correspondents have been
suggesting. that the present
scarcity of food in China is
attributable to the Communist
regime there. However. it
seems that famines were Of
frequent occurrence in China
before the Communist regime
was established.
According to authorities on
the subject, records in Marking
University show that, between
108 B. C. and 1911 A. D.. China
suffered 1928 famines, or
nearly one every year.
Also. according to C. Lester
Walker, in an article in Har-
per's Magazine, February.
l948, the American Red Cross
gave UP famine relief in China
before the Second World War
"on the grounds that such
relief only aggravated Chinas
basic trouble"
If Mr.. Walker was correct,
then it appears that. China
was having some trouble with
famines not too long before
the Communists took over.
There is no doubt that COM
munism is responsible for a
lot of the worlds present
troubles. but 1t certainly isn't
responsible for all of them.

1t seems strange that in the
Capital of the richest country
in the world, men cannot get
together and settle a transit
strike; that people have to be
subject to the annoyance Of
being deprived Of public trans
portation.
Mr.. Eisenhower went to Ge-
neva and attempted to settle
the affairs of the world and yet
no one seems to be able to get
the trolleys and buses rolling.
Why?
Why not give Capital Tran
sit a straight 20-cent fare, as
people are paying in many
cities?
Why not give the men at
least Is cents or bring their
salaries up to the level Of other
transportation companies?
Please do something, as 1t
is wearing people out. Let
each side give in a little and
get this thing settled.
I don't think 1t can be very
edifying to the rest Of the
world that a strike could 60
all this time in our Capital
without being settled.

particularly commend your
reporter, Paul Hope, for the
very fine personal-intereSt
story that appeared in your

my recent elevation to the Of
flee of Mayor of the city Of
Alexandria.
The article was written in
a most pleasing and dignified
manner. and I particularly en-
joyed the interview with Mr..

Gus to me and whose presen-
tation of the article has re-
suited in many favorable COM
ments from my fellow citizens
and friends.

WRONG INTERPRETATION

Roland Bieren, MD. has
expressed his disapproval of
my recent letter, with some
choice appellations including
Very Old Bonehead' of the
Coolidge Hoover era" from
which it may be fairly assumed
that the good doctor is a very
young liberal" OF the Roose-
velt-Trum era. This prob
ably accounts for the fact that
he was unable to correctly in
terpret my letter and resorted
to name calling.
l neither said nor implied
that we should consider the
present Russian efforts to
establish communication be-
tween their nation and ours as
an attack upon us" BY the
Lenin quotation I did say and
mean that since the present
Communist regime has not
renowned the designs Of Lenin
against us. in view of the So
Wet record OF duplicity. we
should be ever on our guard.
To paraphrase Lincoln. our
young liberal will eventually
discover that the world can
not long remain half slave and
half free. and until the Com
munists have abandoned their
policy of enslavement peace
full co-existence is impossible.
The "hotheadS" are not so
likely to precipitate a hot war

Quiet Diplomacy

Taking note Of the recent trend to-
ward less tension in the world, Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold has made the
interesting suggestion that the interna-
tional climate might be further improved
If statesmen would resort more frequently
to quiet diplomacy" within the frame
work of the United Nations Stated an
other way, his view is that some bilateral
or multilateral disputes can be better
dealt with through private talks than
through negotiations staged in goldfish
bowl
Thus, as he has just declared in his
annual report to the U. NJ, Mr.. Hammar-
skiold believes that the world organiza-
ton Should be more than an instrument
for what may be described as conference
diplomacy. This new diplomacy, with its
public debates, serves and will continue
to serve many essential needs in the
international life of our times. 1t is not,
however, sufficient for the efforts toward
understanding and reconciliation which
are of such Importance now. Con-
ference diplomacy may uSefully be sup
plemented by more quiet diplomacy within
the United Nations, whether directly be-
tween representatives of member govern
ments or In contacts between the Secre-
tary General and member governments"
This viewpoint may meet with dis
favor among those who are dedicated to
the Wilsonian idea of open covenants
openly arrived at" or who are fearful
not without Justification of the evils
that can flow from an excess of secret
diplomacy But Mr. Hammarskjold Is not
actually an advocate of such diplomacy.
Instead, his thought is that at least pre-
liminary progress toward a settlement Of
certain delicate or explosive issues is more
likely to be made in private meetings than
in meetings that have to be acted out
before the eyes Of the world-in glare
of publicity that tends to force the nego-
tiators to hold fast to previously fixed
positions lest they suffer a propaganda
setback or loss of face"
Years ago, while still in the prime Of
his craftsmanship, Lord Balfour of Brit
ain summed up this difficult problem in
these words: How is the task of peace
maker to be pursued if you are to shout
your grievances from the housetops
whenever they occur? The only result
is that you embitter public feeling, that
the differences between the two states
suddenly attain magnitude they ought
never be allowed to approach, that the
newspaper" the two countries agitate
themselves, that the parliaments of the
two countries have their passions set on
fire, and great crises arise, which may
end, haze ended sometimes, in interna-
tional catastrophes."
So a reasonable measure of quiet
diplomacy" has its wholesome uses. case
in point is the story Of the behind-the-
scenes talks that prepared the way for
ending the Kremlin's Berlin blockade.
And another, more recent example can
be found in the negotiations on getting
Red China to release our imprisoned fly
ers. Clearly, despite the hazards OF secret

which the President has said
is good, and their own decision
that the President does not
like his job, to their suggestion
that he is too old. This last
suggestion, however. advanced
by Gov. Williams, is a bit on
the thin side. Few Presidents
have looked more physically
fit than does Mr.. Eisenhower.
If he should be reelected and
serve through a second term
the President would be 10 years
old plus three months when
he left office. Considering the
ages of Winston Churchill, DR..
Adenauer Of Germany and
other leading figures OF recent
years when they held high
office, the age Of Mr.. Eisen-
hover is dwarfed and scarcely
a reason for his not serving
another four years. Andrew
jackson, one Of the Democratic
heroes, was nearly 10 when he
left the White House at the
end of his second term.
Governors Favored
It is not difficult to under
stand the interest Of the Dem
ocratic Governors in next
years race for the presidential
nomination. Their party has
turned more often to a Gov
ernor for their standard bearer,
since the organization OF the
Republican Party. than to
Senators or any other group
of officials or private citizen
group. Their 1852 candidate
was Governor of Illinois. for
example. Gov. Hartman was
not then a Governor. or Ste
venson might have had more
trouble landing the nomina-
tion-or being drafted. There
are other Governors today who
might like a presidential NOM
inatfon, for the Democrats
have 81 today, Governors OF
such populous States as Mich
igan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
The Democrats had one
presidential candidate, the late
William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska-not a Governor
whom they nominated three
times but never could elect,
Since Mr.. Bryan's time, they
have not renominated a de-
feated presidential candidate.
The late Alfred E. Smith
Governor of New York in 1928
was nominated and defeated.
When it came to 1882, Mr..
Smith, although he wanted re-
nomination, was sidetracked in
favor of the new Governor of
the Empire State, the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt. II his
tory is to repeat itself, the
former Governor of Illinois and
presidential candidate, Mr..
Stevenson. will be sidetracked
and Mr.. Hartman will be the
party's choice.
The chorus, however, con-
tinues to sound the name of
Mr.. Stevenson. And it is re-
ported that Mr.. Stevenson has
said he will announce his can
didacy this fall. No one can
be sure what will happen after
that.

DECATUR STREET.

Dear Sir:
Every one in Washington
should have the pleasure OF
seeing the lovely water lily
pool in Meridian Hill Park.
The entrance to it is on Six
tenth street. just opposite the
site OF the old castle which has
recently been torn down.
The pool is nearly a block
long. AS one walks up the
steps from the entrance, and
catches a glimpse of the pool,
he finds it almost breath
taking in beauty.
1T looks like a painting OF
flowers and leaves on a black
background. And it is, in
deed, black. The water has
some coloring in it. A little
child dipped up a paper cup of
water from the pool. and the
water had distinct shade of
black in it.
You can imagine how the
coloring of the flowers and
the leaves stands out against
the dark background.
There are several shades Of
red. and also Of lilac and blue.
The white ones are espe-
cially lovely. One large white
blossom saw must have
measured about 10 inches
across.
The different shapes of
leaves make an interesting
pattern on the dark back
ground. The leaves Of one kind
were about a foot in diameter
and had turned up fluted edges
like pie plate.
Some leaves are reddish,
others are the various shades
of green.
This lily pond is certainly
a sight worth seeing. The per-
son who planned the arrange
ment of flowers must have an
artists taste in order to have
formed such a beautiful pic
ture.
One should 60 in the morn
ing to see it. I went one
afternoon and found the bios
SONS closed.
VERY sincerely yours,
''E. D. B."
y
The coloring matter in the
pool is algae.
These minute plants help
oxygenate the water. but
sometimes make it too dark,
and give it a disagreeable smell.
One can build up the same
manifestation in a fish aquar-
ium, or in a small garden pool.
No one has utilized his own
home ground to the fullest
extent until he has had some
form of water garden, includ-
ing lilies, especially lilies.
And of all the water lilies,
the white and pink are the
best, although the others give
excellent contrast.
A large spread Of water
flowers, such as instanced. or
in the Kenilworth gardens,
has its own special feature.
The same thing, basically,
may be had with one or two
lilies in q little pool,

industrial Migration

The American Federation of Labor
has taken note OF a serious problem in
its special study of Subsidized industrial
migration"
Over long period of years, and at an
accelerated pace during the past decade,
there has been a substantial movement
OF certain types of industry-mostly from
the Northeastern StateS-into the South.
Much of this movement, as the AFL study
committee acknowledges, has been for
sound economic reasons" such as close
ness to a growing market abundance OF
nearby raw materials and availability Of
cheap power. But much of 1t, as the
committee complains, also has occurred
because of local subsidies offered in the
form of free plant low rent, tax conces-
sions or low wage rates and labor stand
ards" This latter type Of migration, in
the AFL view, provides only "a dubious or
transitory advantage" to the South while
leaving poverty, unemployment and in
dustrial chaos" behind it.
To cope with the problem, the ALL
committee proposes an unusual degree OF
Federal intervention or policing. 1t rec
ommends, for example, that Federal in
come tax exemption be withdrawn for
earnings on bonds issued by local public
bodies to finance industrial construction
and that, in computing Federal income
taxes, there be disallowed as business ex-
penses 1.-The reasonable full rental value"
of plant facilities provided at discounted
rents. In effect, Of course, this is asking
for discriminatory treatment by the Fed
eral Government toward localities which
may be following these practices in their
industrial development. 1t is unlikely
that such proposals will be favored.
In the long run the sound economic
reasons" are more apt to determine the
industrial pattern Of the country than
are temporary or artificial factors. The
demands Of organized labor itself have
played large part in raising operating
costs in certain industries in the North to
a point where they were forced to move,
but 1t is hardly in the province Of the
Federal Government to impose equalizing
conditions in the South. If the Sound
economic" factors are allowed to work
freely, without unreasonable pressures or
policing, industrial migration is not likely
to remain serious threat to any section
Of the country.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

The fish pond, as it is so
often called, is not hard to
develop.
The introduction Of plant
life in it takes up a great deal
of room but is essential.
Often the enthusiast, espe-
cially with his first small water
garden. plants cattails. These
grow so Justify that they soon
take over the entire garden.
Goldf1SheS are lost among
the ruSheS.
In making a home pool.
therefore. consider two facts.
/. Secure a good balance.
between water, fish and plants.
2. Do something positive to
safeguard the pool.
An outdoor pool, small or
large, is in essence the same
as the indoor aquarium. That
is. the balance is the big thing.
II there is too much light.
there will be too much algae,
and the water will be dark"
as our correspondent calls it.
If there are too many fishes
or other forms OF life, there
will not be enough oxygen.
If there are too many plants,
there will not be enough room
for the animals.
y X
An outdoor pool may be
nothing more. than a wooden
tub sunk in the ground. A
galvanized one will do. though
water should stand in it for
several weeks, and be drained
off repeatedly. before estab-
fishing a garden with what
may be termed permanent
water.
Be sure. above all, that you
have not established a trap for
small children. A child 2 or
3 years old can drown in a
tub as easily as in the Poto-
mac; it is incumbent, there
fore, on every builder of even
the smallest pool. to be sure
that nobody can fall in. This
may be secured by the install
lation of a fine mesh chicken
wire over the water.
