The lights came on, as he came out,
and the rats ran in.
They would scurry down the aisles,
and patrons would raise their feet as
they went through. Nobody bothered
about them.
Sometimes, In those wonderful days.

the back of the theater clear down TO

They would build up mighty rumble.

Solutes Macarthur

A good practice in our wonderful
country would be to acknowledge our
top fghting men. our iliustrious busi-
ness and professional men who have
distinguished themselves for the good
Of their native land, before they have
passed away.
Though Gen. Macarthur reaches his
18th birthday on January rs. he has a
record for untiring achievement and
could stili be useful to the present
administrat which 1t would appear
needs the aid, the services. and the
advice Of this expert strategist who
knows the Far East possibly better than
any OF our present generals. No one
could have struck harder, or more ef-
fectively at the very heart of commu-
nism-the worlds greatest cyclonic
enemy who dares to enslave free
people.
The American people should extend
hearty congratulations to this distin-
guished soldier general Statesman who
dared to stand for absolute victory in
Korea, and who knew what anything
but victory would mean for America.
But the New Dealers cared not for
victory but stalemate, in conformity
with the British desire.

my pleasure to serve under.

Old Reactionart.

It was steamy. with odors Of cabbage
and baked apple, ningling In curious
mixture, now gone forever.
Templeton Jones recalled q combi-
nation they had he always liked best,
baked apple with nutmeg, and glass
of buttermilk.
No propaganda has been put on for
buttermilk We are not beseeched to
drink a glass of it with every meal.
Probably no one could But 1t has its
place. especially with baked apple
that has nutmeg In it.
Templeton Jones wondered II the
place had been as good as he remem-
bered it. Could it possibly have been?
No doubt it was like going back to
the old house where one was 10 years
old to find the yard not half as wide
as one recalled, and the neighborhood
run down and NANCY.
The old days had their ways, and
the new days have theirs. The thoughts
Of youth are long. long thoughts. The
recollections Of some place one enjoyed
dropping In for the coffee period, be-
fore the coffee period had name, are
recolIections akin to visiting the old
home.
Nothing can be quite the same. but
1t should be, even II 1t isn't. The coffee
was not too strong, and there was
enough cream. and plenty Of sugar. too.

was plenty of undue pressure behind
the prosecution of this case, and con-
slider that the district attorney, and
perhaps others. went far beyond their
bounds and limitations In criticizing
Judge Youngdahl.
It gives us feeling Of great apprecia-
ton for our judicial system when
man like Judge Youngdahl viii make
ruling or decision according to the
way he sees the law and evidence, or
accusations, regardless of the high
pressure which may be on either side
of the question, and that is exactly
what I believe the honorable Judge
did in the baltimore case.
Communism is bad, much too bad.
but we should not swing to the extreme
and accuse everybody Of being Com
munist sympathizer because he differs
from someone who is making such loud
noise about communistic activities in
some quarters Of the globe. Give us
more judges like Mr.. Youngdahl.

The Plays the Thing

It would seem to be axlomatlc tnaI,
to be successful IN any medium Of COM
munication, there must be understand
ing Of and respect for both the medium
itself and for the audience it seeks to
reach. Judging by the recently pub-
lisi1ed excerpt from the report OF the
Folger Library. in respect to television
and its viewers, that institution has
neither.
After all, library or college class
room does provide the most efficient
setting for acquiring an education: q
student with an imaginative mind and
sufficient background information
given the time to synthesize them In
creative dreaming-can himself invest
the cold facts of history with the
warmth and vitality Of the people
whose lives they Immediately affected.
It is to be hoped that educational
television programs are prepared by
such creative scholars surely, the best
ones are; but the script, after all. is
only the beginning. When even one
actor is obviously reading lines" some
of which he can't even remember
and that happened on the Folger pro-
gram more than once before ! turned
it off-the illusion of reality Is de-
stroyed and, with it. both entertain
ment and education.
It was not the lack Of Madison
avenue budget" much as that might
have helped, nor the competition OF II
Love Lucy" andfor Of woman wrestiers
that made the Folger production less
than a success: and certainly the ma
terial used was not intrinsically unin-
teresting. The unfortunate fact is that
scholarly exposition interspersed with
contemporary maps and pictures plus
bit of amateur dramatization simply
does not add up to good television. At
least, that was the reaction Of

Uncle SONS Purse Strings

Will the politicians never learn that
we can never whip imitation by continu-
ally boosting prices by increasing costs?
The imitation following the postwar
depression of the early twenties was
brought about by the uniustifled de-
mands of labor backed by the Gov
ernment for increased wages, to give
them buying advantage over the
other groups. Since then, there has
been q continual demand for more and
more pay on their part; more and
more profit for big business and In
dustry.

This and That

Atmosphere at the lost coffee place
consisted of many things and persons.
some Of them good, some interesting,
some nondescript. but all having their
places.
Isn't that the difference between then
and now, that we have come out Of the
period when everything seemed to have
its place, to an age wherein nothing
has its place because the roots. as they
say, do not go down, or II they go
down. they do not hold.
With all taxing authorities threaten
ing to tax us out Of our very homes,
we all must feel like the famous
motheriess child Of the song SO sweet
and sad.
They are yanking us UP by the roots.
and forcing us to fee before the time
comes.
They are going to make us homeless
In our old age. even before the silver
bowl is broken.
And we can do absolutely nothing
about 1t.
That is the worst thing Of all. We
can do nothing about 1t, because to
do so would cause us all TO lose face.
and we are as bad about losing face
as any oriental possibly could be. We
must bluff. at any cost.
So we remain seated, and gripe, In
stead Of rising on our hind legs and
fighting back, like good animals.
This was the sort Of thing they
talked about &c the old coffee house.

RequIoted BiIIbourds

Your crusade about the condition Of
the District Building has It's good points.
But / can't help wondering why the
vehemence toward the ''unsightly bill
board.
It's quite true that there are areas
for poster panels and other areas where
they should never be allowed. However.
the poster panel at the District Building
is clean and neat (far from unsightlU
and does an effective job Of presenting
its message to the public-be it traffic
safety or seasons greetings from Dis
trict personnel.
To me 1t seems strange that one
advertising medium should attack an
other so vigorously. The outdoor adj
yertising business is strictly regulated
by its national association. Most OF
your complaints and some others arise
from the indiscriminate use of signs,
placards, etc, by independents and not
by the members Of the outdoor business.
Throughout this controversy on the
District Building and the "billboards"
you have been quite truthful and frank
in presenting the facts. However, there
is one statement would question.
In The Sunday Star Of January 9.
It was stated that there were 2.450 bill
boards on Route between Baltimore
and Washington. This may be true, but
of this number. how many OF these
signs are owned and operated by the
regulated outdoor advertising indus
try? In other words. how many bill
boards" similar to the one in front OF
the District Building. are included in
the figure Of 1850 billhoards?

Something needs to be done about
traffic condition that exists at the
approaches leading from the riverside
drive of Sousa Bridge at Seventeenth
street and Pennsylvania aveune, and
perhaps is prevalent elsewhere.
It Is necessary to come to full
stop, stay in line and take your turn
in order to gain entrance to the merg-
ing traffic on the bridge. Invariably,
you will always find some "jerk" who
will drive full speed ahead from the
middle lane into the space left vacant
by q courteous driver who has either
signaled or slowed down to let you pass.
There have been many ''near-misses"
and much "cluttering up" of traffic
as result of this. I think it would
help the situation to paint an over
tapping double white line for a good
distance at the entrances with appro-
pirate caution signs marked do Not
Cross Double Line"
Perhaps a few "Stay In Line" caution
signs on the bridge itself would also
help.

MiddIe-Rood Policy

With each presidential message 1t
becomes increasingly clear that the
Eisenhower middle of -the-road" policy
leads to the left squarely between the
New Deal and the Fair Deal. More and
better give-away programs are the
order of the day and administration
politicians vie with each other to pour
more Of our tax dollars into Europe,
Asia and Latin America in the face of
the lamentable failure of the $40 billion
Marshall Plan. There are more Com
munist sympathizers in England and
France today than before the Marshall
Plan and West Germany. which did not
share in our bounty, far outstripped
France and Britain in economic re-
.covery. Nor have our handouts bought
gratitude or dependable allies but only
a steady loss of prestige abroad Never
theless, President Eisenhower demands
more billions for Europe and Asia, while
Representative James G. Fulton, at the
recent nter-American conference in
Brazil, complained: 1--WE are handing
out billions to Europe and Asia and we
are offering mere pittance to our own
family in Latin America" Will the
President also acknowledge our blood
brother relationship to Dictator Peron
by billion-dollar gift? With all this
global aid a cannon fired any place In
the world is sure Of at least hitting the
American taxpayer.
To supplement these foreign give
aways the New Deal trend to free trade
is to be continued with further cut
in tariffs. However. this reduction In
revenue does not deter the President
from proposing payment from tax
revenues of one third of the hospital
insurance Of Government workers and
salary increases for civilian and mill
tary personnel, to say nothing Of an
annual $40 billion road-building pro-
gram. Such proposals can result only

Oil for the Wheels of Europe

From the beginning of his term, Premier
Mendes-France repeatedly has been eagerly
awaiting the time when he could turn his
principal attention from international al
fairs to what he considers the number one
problem of his country, namely, reorgar1-
ization and revitalization Of the French
economy. It is broad and complicated
task-involving French laws. tax policy and
administration, industrial and business
D. 1ctices, relative lack of certain natural
resources and many other factors
With the time drawing near when he
can devote this attention to the internal
problems, Mr.. Mendes-France Is fortunate
in the discovery that France may have sub
stantial deposits of petroleum. The exist
ence OF some Oil in Alsace has been known
for many years. but 1t was not until 1949
that field containing both oil and natural
gas was discovered in Southwestern France.
And it was not until early 1854 that really
promising And In that area was made by o
French incorporated company, 80 per cent
owned by American oil interests. One re-
suit has been speculative boom In French
oil securities, but more important one has
been the confirmation of really substantial
oil and gas deposits In continental France.
Meanwhile, as means Of saving on foreign
exchange, an extensive program for increas-
ing refinery capacity has been gathering
momentum during the post-World War II
period. It was not without reason, there
fore, that Mr.. Mendes-France broadcast to
his country only recently that within four
years France may be producing 20 per cent
OF its own crude oil requirements, and that
another spokesman added that the coun-
try already is self-suficient in its refining
capacity.
Actually France In this respect Is not
an isolated case In Western Europe. Britain,
West Germany, italy and some Of the
smaller countries have been building oil re-
fineries in recent years. And many OF these
countries, producing little or no crude oil
before the war, are supplementing their
imports today from newly discovered fields
within their own frontiers.
This highly industrialized area may
never be able to produce enough oil for its
own needs. It's machines operate for the
most part today on Middle East oil. But
any approach to self-suflciency Is helpful,
and the prospects have been frightened
correspondingly In that part Of the free
world.

Forestry Anniversary

II America is greener In 1855 than 1t
was in 1905, some part of the credit GER
tainly must be due to the Forest Service.
The trend half century ago was away from
conservation, but 1t carried its own correc-
tive-the wasting OF the Nations timber
resources led to the setting up Of a national
program of timber saving which now Is
one Of our country's most useful public
agencies.
OF course the Forest Service has not
been the only working force in this field.
When it was formed by merging the old
Bureau Of Forestry and the Forestry Divi-
sion Of the Generaas Land once. it was
expected that 1t would have the coopera-
tion of other conservation organizations
and establishments. Visitors to the golden
anniversary exhibition at the Agriculture
Administration Building see evidence there
OF the helpful partnership Of State forestry
units, forestry schools, forest industries OF
many different sorts and many farm
societies, wildlife and recreational bodies
and hundreds Of private individuals. We
Americans definitely are Undermined
people. In perhaps no other similar activity
are we so conscious of the origins Of our
material progress. But 1t does not follow
that we are as concerned or as well educated
as we ought to be. For example. there Is
need for wider and more effective knowledge
Of the insect enemies Of our forests and or
the fungus diseases which affiict them In
large areas. We also should be better

fires. first by being vigilant to prevent them
and, where they already have been started,
skilled in putting them out and replacing
the losses they have caused. FOREST con-
servation and its relation to water supplies
likewise should be better understood.
The 50th anniversary Of the Forest
Service then is no mere jollihcation.
Rather, it is new opportunity for enlisting
interest IN keeping America green and In
making America greener.

Not One Of the Issues

There may be room for differences OF
opinion with respect to the Presidents re-
quest for authority from Congress to act as
his Judgment dictates in the Fornlosa area.
But there is no room for legitimate contro-
versy over the fact that Mr.. Eisenhower has
asked Congress for authority, while Mr..
Truman acted on his own when South Korea
was attacked.
The situations simply are not COM
parable. There is no pressing urgency IN
the Formosa matter But the case was diff
ferer,t in Korea The ROK defenses were
falling apart, and delay even Of a day or
two might have meant total defeat. Some
times the chronology is forgotten, but 1t Is
important to remember 1t. That 1850 ag-
gression began on June Is. On the follow
ing day the Security Council called for
cease-f1re and asked all member nations to
render ''every assistance" to the U. N. On
June 81 Mr.. Truman announced that he had
ordered American air and sea units into
action. Three days later 1t was announced
that ground forces were going in.
There can be-and there was-argu-
ment as to whether Mr.. Truman acted
within the limits of his constitutional au-
thority. But no one could contend that
there was ample time to seek authorization
from Congress. This is an all-important
distinction-and the reason why the COM
parison which has been suggested Is with
out validity.

The President deceives only himself
when he calls his coliosal spending

Changed Line in Moscow

It appears now that the Russian people
are not going to enjoy the rising living
standards promised them In 1883 by Premier
Georgi Malenkov. Instead, judging from
what has happened to Alastas ]. Mikoyan,
the Kremlin intends to revert to It's old
policy-which was modified not long after
Stalin's death-of concentrating on the
development of heavy industry in such
way as to rule out the possibility Of an
appreciable increase In the production OF
consumer goods.
The evidence Is strong, at any rate,
that this is the basic meaning behind the
news that Deputy Premier Mikoyan has been
relieved of his duties as Soviet Trade Min
lister. For Mr.. MikoyaT, in carrying out
those duties, has earned special prominence
with his efforts to fulfill Mr.. Malenkov's
pledge to build up Russia's light industry
and take other urgent" and drastic"
measures to improve "the material we'll
being of workers, collective farmers and
intelligentsia"-an unqualified pledge to
produce more food, end "acute" housing
shortages and greatly accelerate the output
of civilian commodities Of all kinds, includ-
ing things like kitchen utensils and good
quality smart clothes and elegant foot
wear" Hence, considered against such
background, Mr.. Mikoyan's removal from
office-coupled with Pravda's strangely
coincidental and bitter attack on people
advocating an accelerated flow Of consumer
goods-leaves little room for doubt that the
late Stalin's harsh policy Is coming back
into force.
Pravda's editorial makes no bones about
the matter. Lashing out at all who would
put special emphasis on consumer goods
rather than on heavy industry, 1t describes
such viewpoint as rotten" and dangerous
theory that would disarm the Soviet Union
during an "acute international situation"
in which forces Of imperialist reaction -.
are preparing plans for new world war"
II this suggests anything at all, 1t certainly
suggests that the Kren1lin has decided to
step up Its ornaments program and forget
about past promises to improve the lot OF
the Russian masses, whose living standards
are among the lowest In the world and who
regard as luxuries the little things that most
Westerners look upon as everyday necessi-
ties-things that Mr.. Malenkov himself, In
his famous speech Of August 8, 1858, said
''the Soviet people are right to demand
from u.s."
Wholly apart from indicating that the
Kremlin is planning for further militariza-
ton, all this raises an interesting question
regarding internal Soviet politics. Mr..
Mikoyan has been closely identified with
Mr.. Malenkov's past views on consumer
goods, and now that he has been removed,
with an accompanying blast from Pravda
(which seems sometimes to favor Nikita
Khrushchev against Mr.. Malenkov), there
is reason to wonder whether or not rivalries
in the Moscow hierarchy are reaching
point where somebody very big (not neces-
sarily Mr.. Malenkov) is due for very hard
fall.
