Purchaser for CTC?

The logical interest to pur-
chase the remnants OF the
Wolfson regime would be the
labor union. I feel certain that
the parent AFL union has the
resources to finance such an
enterprise, or that satisfactory
arrangements could be made to
do so. Certainly. their cumula-
tive years of transit operation
experience qualities them to
operate the transit, system.
Such ownership would create
a lasting incentive for unin-
terrupted. efficient operation
an incentive that was lack
ing in Mr.. Wolfson's side
line adventure, or would tend
to be lacking in other potential
future owners.
With elimination Of a H.
nancially top-heavy executive
group, plus an army OF two
thousand stockholders, such
ownership would be in a posi-
ton to vindicate themselves,
and It would give them the
opportunity to demonstrate to
the public that the cost OF
mass public transportation can
be brought back into a true
perspective.

Aren't They All?

The days Of Tempo 2, one of the
dilapidated emergency" office buildings
of World War I, are numbered. None will
mourn the passing Of this unsightly and
unwelcome intruder on Federal land,
at Nineteenth and D streets Northwest.
It is, as the General Services Administra-
tfon said in a statement, "a discredit to
the city and the Government"
However, 1t is unfair to Tempo 2 to
describe it alone in this fashion. All of
the tempos are discreditable, all have
outlived their original purpose and all
ought to be torn down as soon as possible.

Language Barrier

The fate Of the world hangs
on international conferences.
which are our one hope for
peace. Yet, these conferences
take three times as long as
they ought to take, and much
Of their confusion and mis-
understanding is never cleared
up because Of the necessity Of
translation. The need seems
obvious for q neutral auxiliary
international language which
all can learn quickly and
easily.
Such q language exists in
Esperanto. Unlike It's COM
petitors among the artificial
languages. Esperanto is q
proved living language used by
millions Of people. One hum
bred periodicals and 20 radio
stations throughout the world
regularly use Esperanto. and
some 5000 books have been
printed in the language. Over
2,o00 people met this month at
the Universal Esperanto Con-
gress in Bologna, Italy. AS the

Place for Liberty Bell?

The Liberty Bell which for
some time stood on the steps
of the Municipal Building was
finally moved, after The Star
protested, but it was moved
only q few feet to the triangle
In front of that building. There
1t squats. a neglected and
somehow undignif1ed object
deserving a better status or a
decent burial. Evidently no
one in authority knows what
to do with 1t.
In West Potomac Park, the
Districts memorial to the dead
of the First World War rises
in a grove of trees, a Doric
temple of rare beauty. Be-
cause 1t would be highly APP
propriate to associate a Liberty
Bell with q memorial to those
who died for liberty, ! sug-
gest placing the bell in the
center of this temple. The
columns are spaced far enough
apart to permit this. While
some persons may question
the association on aesthetic
grounds. when one is stand
ing outside the temple the
bell would be largely obscured
by the columns, while from the
inside the significance Of the
bell would make one overlook
it's plainness, just as one never
notices the warts on a face
one loves.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Black Pepper Comes to New World
By THOMAS R. HENRI

symbolic mustard seed Of the
Scriptures. Under the name Of
"peppercorn" it has a place In
English law as a token pay
ment. Land leases sometimes
required payment Of lone pep
percorn" for q designated
number of years.
The plant is propagated by
cuttings. Seed does not run
true to variety. Cuttings about
two feet long are pushed into
the ground around the base Of
a tree. Roofing requires sew
eraI months and survival sonle-
times as low as five per cent
At the plant introduction sta
ton only II per cent Of 200
cuttings rooted after two
months under ideal greenhouse
conditions.
This slow and uncerta'n
propagation has been q ma
jor reason why so little effort
has been made in the past to
introduce the crop into the
Western Hemisphere. Now, the
Department of Agriculture
scientists announce. they have
been able to speed the method
by using specially prepared
leaf cuttings to the point
where propagation in Puerto
Rico appears practical.
1t is still too early, says DR..
H. E. Warmke, director OF the
Federal experimental farm In
Puerto Rico, to make any pre-
dictions as to whether the crop
can be made commercially
practical or profitable. It re-
quires from three to five years
before a crop can be gathered
from pepper vines.
Latin America Interested
The tests, however. are be-
ing watched with interest by
experiment stations of vari-
Gus Latin American countries.
The crop, if growing is found
practical, probably would con-
stitute a valuable addition to
the agriculture of any OF the
Central American republics.
White pepper, 1t is ex-
planned, is obtained from the
same seeds but with a quite
diff erent treatment. This
yields a product of somewhat
different flavor but consider
ably less quantity.
In addition to the spice, the
pepper seeds yield an oil-like
substance called piperine, with
about the same chemical
structure as morphine but
without any of the latter's
pain-killing or habit-forming
characteristics, which has a
limited use in medicine.
Red pepper is a New World
product which is not a botan-
ical relative of the pepper
vine.

Dry-FkMon

The President according TO reports
altering back from Colorado, has decided
that it's about time that David learned
to cast dry fly" And being a man of &C
ton, the Chief Executive has personally
undertaken to coach David In this dubious
art.
1t would not have been dubious
thing If the President had said he thought
1t was about time David learned to use
a nine iron. There is difference of opin-
ion within the golfing fraternity on how
to use nine iron. But the golfer never
lived who would stand up and say that he
preferred to use a brassie for nine-iron
shot.
In fishing it is different. Perhaps a
wet-hy man would not be too offended by
this obvious presidential preference for
the dry fly. But what about that army OF
fishermen who look with certain sus-
picion and distrust on this wet and dry
fly business? Why not teach David how
to cast plug2 What is wrong with live
bait? And how about those numerous
characters, If they may be mentioned in
the same paragraph with dry fly. who

In golf, almost anything goes. But

ers and ones retired on pen
sions. including social security.
Manufacturing concerns then
increase the prices OF their
products and make profits, but
the fixed-incomers remain
static, thus increasing infla-
ton.
Anyone will conclude after
logical inductive reasoning
that continual spiraling up
ward Of wages Of part Of the
population is dangerous to the
country and should be stopped.
A governor should be put on
the economic machine to keep
it from wrecking itself. It GER
tainly is not safe to continue
this condition, but no one pro-
poses remedy. The following
would be start:
Congress should pass q law
freezing the maximum limit
of wages, taking the present
union wages as such, to stop
the dangerous upward spiral
ing: they could decline but
not advance beyond that
point. Union wages are high
enough, but there may be nom
union wages that are not. A
commission with lifetime ten
ure should be appointed to
consider these, when COM
plants are received. There
should be no strikes for in
creased wages nor reduced
hours at the same wages, but
possible ones for other de-
sirable benefits.
As time passes let industries
make goods at gradually
lower costs. When excessive
profits result, they should be
reduced by competition (the
antitrust laws being rigidly
enforced; the reduced prices
would benefit all. instead of
one portion Of the people to
the detriment Of the other,
thus increasing the purchas-
ing power of the dollar. The
unions should not object, be-
cause there would be no cut
In wages. They surely realize
the necessity Of such a con-
troll that would benefit all and
strengthen the domestic econ
omy.
This plan would practically
end the public inconvenience
such as tied-up transportation
and major industries, due to
strikes.

Evolution in Pokiston

A long period Of political evolution
in Pakistan finally has brought coali-
ton government to power in that coun-
try. With 1t comes promise of accel
Grated progress toward constitution and
universal suffrage, steps which should
lead-in tIrn-to solution of some Of the
young nations internal problems. For
tunately, this promise Is accompanied
by assurances that In foreign policy
namely, a firmly pro-Western attitude
the series of developments Of the past
fortnight will bring no change in d.
rection.
For the first time in the eight-year
history of Pakistan, the monopoly control
OF the Moslem League over the central
Mohammed Ali, newly elected head Of
the League, has taken over as Prime Min
lister but five of his 10 cabinet colleagues
have been chosen from the United Front
Party In addition, Mr.. Chaudry Mo-
manned Ali still is soliciting the CO.
operation of the Awami League, the third
major party, and has been promised its
support on certain national issues even
though the Awami leader, Shaheed Sub
rawardy, has declined bid to join the
cabinet. In any case, the United Front
Moslem League combination controls go
seats in the 80-member constituent as
sembly with the Awami group holding Is

Suhrawardy, parliamentarian and law
yer by profession, has been leading

a constitution indicates that his promised
cooperation will be exercised in obtain
ing approval of this long awaited docu-
ment. General elections could then be
authorized.
The new Prime Minister was Secre-
tary of Finance in the previous cabinet
and was largely responsible for the recent
decision to devaluate the Pakistan rupee
--an action which may have both eco
nomic and political benefits. The coun-
try's export trade, particularly with
neighboring India, should be stimulated
by the devaluation. II this does result

countries would be eased and the pros

A spice once worth us
weight in gold and which con-
stituted a major source Of the
wealth of the Orient now is
being introduced for the first
time to the Western Henri
sphere.
This is black pepper. The
lure of midas pepper planta-
tions was the principal incen-
tive for the voyage of the Por-
tuguese explorer. Vasco di
Cana, around the Cape of
Good Hope and. to a consid-
cradle degree, lured Columbus
to seek a shorter route to the
Indies by sailing westward
across the Atlantic.
When Rome lay at the
mercy of Alaric. king of the
Visigoths. he demanded an
enormous ransom, a major
item of which was 5000 pounds
Of pepper. At that time it was
brought overland by camel
caravan. England once taxed
imports at about SIS a pound
and even at the start of the
last century there was an i'm
port duty of about a dollar a
pound.
East Indies Monopoly
All this time seed of the
ivy-like vine has remained a
monopoly of the East Indies.
Sometimes political condi-
lions have made the spice al
most unobtainable. AT the best
there has been an extreme
f1uctuation in price.
The United States used APP
proximately IS million pounds
last year. The price, with no
war or occupation to interfere
with exports. was about 10
cents a pound. In any emer-
gency this could easily be
doubled.
For several years, Depart
ment Of Agriculture scientists
have explored possibilities Of
establishing the pepper vine
in Puerto Rico. thus possibly
making the Western Henri
sphere pepper-free from the
Eastern.
Now cuttings and seeds from
many sources are being grown
under strict quarantine at the
departments plant introduce
ton station in Maryland. BY
applying newer propagation
methods than those used for
centuries in the Far East,
horticulturalists have speeded
up the growing Of enough
plants for field trials in Puerto
Rico.
Black pepper is the seed of
a vine which like ivy, grows up
trunks of rough-barked trees.
It is one Of the smallest seeds
known, smaller even than the

Your newspaper Is to be
commended for the splendid
article on mental health needs
in nearby Virginia. We. in
Northern Virginia. have been
urging the State Legislature
to provide the necessary funds
for more and better mental
health facilities and for more
and better care Of our men,
tally i'll. We must overcome
our apathy and lethargy and
pursue our demands more Wig
orously.
The State Legislature meets
this year and we hope they
will consider more favorably
this year than two years ago
the bills to improve the condi-
tons of the mentally i'll in our
State. Fortunately. our Dele
gates and Senators from this
district are in favor of a bet
ter deal for the mentally Ill,
and we hope they will achieve
better luck this year.
Mental illness is our num-
Der one illness today. iAore
people are in hospitals for the
mentally Ill than for all other
illnesses combined. With better
facilities and psychiatric clinics
for early diagnosis and treat
merit, the future Is bright.
Thank you for calling the
attention of the community to
the needs Of our mentally Ill.
