THE POLITICAL MILL
KnowIonds Leadership Has New Look
By GOULD LINCOLN

big difference with the adj
ministration's policy in the Far
East has been because he IA
vored more drastic attitudes
and moves in dealing with Red
China. He. has been and is
strongly opposed to any fur
ther concessions to the Chi
nese Reds. He does not be-
lieve that Quemoy and Matsu
should be yielded to them. nor
Formosa. And he is violently
opposed to the admission Of
Red China to the United Ma
tions. In this connection, Il
should be noted that the Eli
senhower administration has
been opposed to the admission
of Red China to the u. N.
The President many times has
said so. Also. the admin
istration has made no sugges-
tion that the offshore islands
-Quemoy and Matsu - be
handed to Red China. and it
has gone on record by treaty
that Formosa shall be de-
Tended against the Commu-
nists. Since all this Is so,
there seems no real reason for
a break between the President
and Senator Knowland over
foreign policy.
No Appeasement Seen
There is nothing to indicate
today that President Eisen-
hover will in any way "ap-
pease" the Communists at the
Geneva Conference, nor does
Senator Knowland believe that
will happen. Nor does the
Californian expect any result
from the conference that would
lead him to feel he could not
retain the Senate Republican
leadership.
From a practical political
point of view. Senator Know
land would have nothing to
gain and much to lose If he
resigned his leadership in the
Senate. He is just a years
old and presumably has . long
public career ahead Of him.
He has already made much
progress on the success road
since he was appointed SEN
ator in August, 1945, to fill a
vacancy caused by the death
of the late Senator Hiram
Johnson. Picked by the late
Senator Bob Taft of Ohio to
take over the leadership job
when Senator Taft became too
i'll to function, Senator Know
land did a mastery job in
the last Congress as majority
leader. He succeeded in get
ting favorable action on far
more of the Eisenhower pro-
gram than had been expected.
II Mr.. Eisenhower runs for
q second term. Senator Know
land is expected to go right
along with. him. But should
the President by any chance
decide not to run. Mr.. Know
land will be in there fighting
for the presidential nomina-
ton, 1t Is believed.

No Help to Milk Consumers

In deciding to hold at Alexandria the
frst OF series OF milk price hearings,
the Virginia State Milk Commission has
given overdue recognition to the urgency
OF reconsidering It's pricing policies in
nearby Virginia. Certainly the commits
sion's price rulings now in force are work.
Ing to the disadvantage Of milk consunl-
ers In the Virginia suburban commu-
mites.
Under recent decision Of the State
Supreme Court, the commission must re-
wise its price-fixing practices everywhere
in the State. The court held that the
commission was wrong in setting only
minimum prices for retail and wholesale
milk sales. Hereafter the three-man
body-no member of which is consumer
representative-must set both minimum
and maximum prices, with no variations
under the minimum to differentiate be-
tween home-delivered and cash-and-
carry milk. To comply with the courts
order. public hearings will be held
throughout Virginia, starting with the
Alexandria session on July IA.
But the local-area hearing also will
be concerned with secondhand more
important-subject This is the petition
of the Arlington legislative delegation
for exclusion of the county from all pric-
ing operations Of the Milk Commission.
The fight against the commission results
from popular indignation over the absurd
inequities that have developed in the sale
of milk by the gallon in chain stores in
the Washington area. Milk is sold in
gallon quantities in the District and
Maryland at 90 cents under the price
fixed for Virginia. One chains Virginia
stores are donating the extra 20 cents
profit to charity. Other chains have
apologized to their customers for being
forced to charge more than the prices
prevailing in Washington and Maryland.
Until the court handed down its rul-
ing last week. however, the State COM
mission had evidenced little interest In
the plight of the consumers in Northern
Virginia. A number Of requests for
hearing had been taken under advise
ment" Now that action finally is as
sured, milk consumers across the Poto-
mac have cause to hope that before long
they will be freed from the discrimina-
tory price restrictions currently In effect.

In God We Trust

Harold Ration, in his re-
cent letter objecting to the in
scription, "In God We Trust, !"

seems to acknowledge the tenn
pie in Jerusalem as the temple
of God. Therefore. he must
acknowledge that God was
served in the turning over of
the money changers tables,
when Christ said, "My house is
the house of prayer, but you
have made it a den of thieves" I"
Christ either spoke with the
authority Of God, or he was
an impostor.
The Saviour was asked by
those who wished to tempt
Him, els 1t lawful to give trib-
ute to Caesar?" Our Lord
asked for the coin of tribute,
and when it was shown to him,
He asked the name Of the per-
son inscribed upon the coin.
He was told that it was
Caesars. He then said, "Ren-
der to Caesar the things that
are Caesars and to God the
things that are Gods" If Mr..
Ration acknowledges tn a t
Christ acted with the author
ity of God in the temple, he
cannot deny that authority
outside of the temple, for is
God turned off and on like an
electric light switch. as our
secularist neighbors would like
us to believe? From the same
mouth which commanded the
rendering to Caesar the things
that are Caesars came the
command to render to God the
things that are Gods. How can
mutually exclusive propositions
be uttered from the same di-
vine mouth? Do we not say
For God and country" and
was not Caesar the represent
ative Of the temporal au-
thority?
In the Gospel of st. Mat
thew, we have the miracle of
the coin taken from the mouth
of a fish to pay the tribute
for the service of the tenn
pie. Therefore. how could the
Son Of God condemn money
when he used it to give a trib-
ute which he was not obliged
to pay? The evil in money, like
ornaments. comes from its
abuse and not its use.
Mr.. Ration seems to forget
that the meetings Of our con-
stitutional convention, as the
meetings of our Congress.
opened with prayer. Is it not
wise to honor the name of
God in all places. even on our
currency, in spite Of those
who think they are unable to
believe in an Uncaused Cause.

Senator William r. Know
land Of California has no In
tention Of resigning the Re-
publican leadership of the
Senate in the pear future
nor does he intend to resign
this office in the forseeable
future. This statement by
Senator Knowland Is, in effect,
a reply to q growing number
of reports that the Californian
because Of disagreement
with President Eisenhower
over the administrators Far
East policy-would relinquish
the G. o. p. Senate leader
ship.
Furthermore, Senator Know
land would resist any effort
to dislodge him from his
present powerful position in
the Senate. Nor is it likely
that any such effort, II made,
could succeed.
Also, during the last few
weeks Senator Knowland has
stepped out as a defender of
Mr.. Eisenhower, and of the
Presidents right to conduct
the foreign relations of the
United States. This has been
particularly noticeable in Sem
ator Knowland'S replies to
Senator Mccarthy of Wiscon-
sin, who not only has criti-
cized the President as too soft
toward the Communists, but
who more recently offered a
resolution designed to force
the representatives Of Soviet
Russia to discuss the status of
Communist satellite nations
at the coming Geneva four
power conference. Failing
that, the resolution declared,
MIR. Eisenhower should not at
tend the conference.
Defends Eisenhower
The present defense OF the
President by Senator Know
land has been all the more
effective because In the past
the California Senator has
been critical Of the Eisenhower
foreign policy. Apparently,
Senator Knowland has deter
mined that the President shall
have all the possible backing
he can have when he, Mr..
Eisenhower, goes to Geneva
to discuss the present world
situation, the tensions and the
cold war, with Soviet Russia.

to read the small books he has
of this great Russian, but only
now and then looks inside

criticism Of Tolstoy. It simply
means that T. Jones is q ca

He never lets his books bore

Polio and q Sort of Gamble

DR.. Leonard A. Scheele, Surgeon
General of the United States Public
Health Service, has issued common
sense statement that should have the
attention of all parents who may be
fretting over the question of whether or
not to let their children be inoculated this
summer with the Salk vaccine against
poliomyelitis.
In a poll just taken before House
Interstate Commerce subcommittee, eight
out of II members of scientific panel
have affirmed that such incubation
should 60 forward without delay to give
protection to as many youngsters as pos
sible. But three have diSSented Their
view is that the program. should be inter-
rupted while concentrated effort is
made to improve the Salk vaccine, whose
effectiveness is not seriously questioned
but whose safety factor is regarded as
technically uncertain by some experts.
Nevertheless, despite this minority
dissent, DR.. Scheele-whose position is
In line with what appears to be the over
whelming majority Judgment Of those
best qualified to pass upon the matter
has been at pains to declare as follows:
"The Public Health Service repeats its
belief that the present Salk vaccine is
effective and is safe for USE It empha-
sizes, as it has previously, that no vaccine
is 100 per cent safe; however, the service
believes that the risk of acquiring polio
nlyelitiS from an unsafe lot of vaccine,
tested and released under the revised
PHS standards, is negligible and far less
than the risk Of developing paralytic
poliomyelitis from natural infection. :.
The final decision with respect to vac
cinationS in States and communities rests
with parents and individual physicians
and with health officers and their tech
nical advisory bodies"
Here in the District the advisory
bodies have recommended that the whole
incubation program be deferred until
September /, and similar counsel-based
on varying reasons-has been offered in
some other cities. Yet, as DR.. Scheele
has indicated, the fundamental decision
on this subject throughout the country
must be made by the parents themselves,
and they must make it with the UNDER
standing that gamble of sorts is in
volved-but only very Slight gamble
IN which vaccination apparently entails
much less risk than nonvaccination.
It is almost certain, of course, that
in time-perhaps within matter of
months-the Salk vaccine will be i'm
proved upon. However, even in its pres
ent form, 1t unquestionably is a potent
antipolio agent, and the great majority
of experts seem convinced that children
who receive it now will be better armed
against the disease than those who
remain uninoculated. This is the pri-
mary consideration to be weighed by all
parents in deciding what they ought to
do.

Local firemen under the
direction Of H. Lloyd Canega-

last night with their fire
trucks and then made several
fires, some with boxes, then
automobile tires and then
gasoline sprayed on the bare
ground. The local firemen, all
volunteers, then proceeded to
show the crowd how each fire
is controlled and put out.
First demonstration was on
the wood fire. The siren blew;
trucks speeded to take up posi-
tons. One unreeled the hose
from the wharf near the fire
to the well near the basket
ball court. The fire chief then
gave the commands from a

the water was on and the fire
was quickly put out. Next
the burning tires were put
out An old ear was next set
