troduced, maybe bigger and redder,
but there may be loss Of flavor to
make up.
The lesson of growing flowers and
vegetables is patience.
One cannot hurry nature. Even the
Russians have found that out.
The story of the little child who puts
in a seed one day and digs it up the
next morning to see what has happened
is as old as the hills. He finds out, as
the rest Of us do, that natures pro-
grams were laid down long time ago,
and cannot be hurried, except here and
there. and usually there is loss, any,
way.
Home gardening is good, because 1t
tends to teach patience, quality sorely
needed in this age.
We are the victims Of ourselves, in
the main.
We expect too much, and do not hope
enough.
Gardening can save us, If it is ours,
to begin with; others had better let
1t alone.
Spring calls us all, but only few
are chosen as real gardeners. Some
times these are called dirt gardeners,
those who are not afraid to touch the
soil with their precious gift of hands.
Gardening is laying on Of hands,
blessing the soil. and the air. and the
hands that p1ant. most Of all.

The TimeIiness of Woshinqton

Two hundred and twenty three years
after his birth, George washington is more
important person, more significant per-
sonality, than he was during all that portion
of his life which preceded Christmas, 1776.
Up to that date he had earned an honorable
place in history, but had he died at A he
would be remembered only as one of many
patriots who shared in the founding of what
well might have been federal republic in
capable of surviving. The tide of destiny in
his career was the Delaware River. His cross
ing OF. that stream was the preface to his
fame. What ensued upon it were the battles
of Trenton and Princeton. Before them
Washington had been merely the leader OF
"hopeless-looking struggle of American
backWoodsmen with the most powerful ma
ton in the world" The principle of liberty
and equality which was the basis of the con-
test had been misunderstood in Europe. 1t
was Washington who dramatized the issue,
and who transformed a losing cause into
one with chance to be victorious. His New
Jersey campaign was "a momentous turning
point in the Revolution" 1t restored his
own confidence, reinforced the resolution of
Congress, renewed the enthusiasm Of the
people of the revolted colonies, and en-
couraged France to enter the conflict as an
ally
Certainly, the war was not won at Tren-
ton and Princeton. Many disappointments,
many hardships lay ahead. Brandywine,
Germantown, Valley Forge, Monmouth and
the failure of D'Estaing's attack on Rhode
Island added up to condition which Wash
ington himself summarized in the words:
I'VE have no magazines, nor money to form
them; and in little time we shall have no
men, We have lived upon expedients till
we can live no longer. :. The history OF
the war is history of false hopes and tenn
porary devices, instead of system and econ
omy." Such was the picture on September
%, 1880. Even after CORVALLIS surrendered
at Yorktown, there was no peace for two
dreary years and the Treaty of Paris, dated
1888, really was only truce. The new
American Nation never ceased to be simply
an experiment" in Washington's lifetime.
He died unsure of its continuance.
Looking back now. the heirs Of his
services realize better than their progenitors
how imperative he was to the federated
republic he fathered. May we have the
wisdom and the courage to be guided by the
ideals and the example of the man who, In
Abraham Lincoln's judgment, bore the name
"mightiest In moral ahreformation."

the 11th day of February 1882, about 10
in the Morning"
His mother was correct. 1t was the
11th. But time changed over the years.
The Gregorian Calendar went into
effect throughout England and her
colonies in 1852. Then that 18th day of
February on which George and many
other babies were born. henceforward
became the 22d of that same month.
And thus it has remained.
The third Bible was used when the
first President took the oath of office
in 1889. That Bible is the property of
st. Johns Masonic Lodge of New York
City.
Among the many evidences of Wash
ington's religious faith, 1t is recorded
that soon after shouldering the heavy
responsibilities of President he became
seriously, though briefly, i'll. He
pressed his doctor for all the facts.
They weren't good. But brave man
that Washington was, he promptly re-
sponded:
I am not afraid to die. Whether

tonight or twenty years hence makes
no difference. know that am in the
hands of good Providence"
That Providence gave him another
decade in which to continue to serve
and wisely counsel the new government
in the new world.
Returning to his beloved Mount
Vernon with thoughts of retiring evi-
IDENTIFY strong in his mind, Washington
once wrote his friend Lafayette:
g. Envious of none, I am deter
mined to be pleased with all; and this,
my dear friend, being the order of my
march, will move gently down the
stream of time until sleep with my
fathers"
BY the 14th of December, 1899, the
Father of his Country had moved
down the stream of time" to sleep
with his fathers On that evening, in
the south bedroom of Mount Vernon,
his life closed. 1t is said that "the open
Bible lay upon nearby table" That
was more than century and half
ago.

New Utilities Chairman

The Sunday Star of February 13 car
ried news report on the appointment
OF Negro lawyer, George E. c. Hayes,
"staunch supporter of the Eisenhower
for-President movement in 1882" to
the important post of chairman of the
District Public Utilities Commission.
The major legal activity of Mr.. Hayes
has been in connection with antisegre-
cation litigation, and Mr.. Hayes con-
feSSed to The Star reporter that "he
has had no particular experience in
finance or utilities regulation with
which he will be dealing extensively"
This prospect of commission chair
man who has never been called upon
to find solutions to complicated prob
lens comparable to those with which
this commission is frequently con-
fronted bodies no good for the citizens
of the District.
However, in its editorial comment
The Star says: His appointment is
consistent with the Presidents known
desire to bring qualified Negros into
public positions of responsibility. And
there is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Hayes will measure up to the Presi-
dents expectations. No attempt is
made to reconcile this conclusion with
the unequivocal admission by Mr..
Hayes that he is not qualified for the
post.
To the unbiased mind it is trans
parently clear that this appointment
is political sop While it seems rather
unlikely. we may be agreeably surprised
one day when The Star will disapprove
some act or decision by President
Eisenhower.

Not Time to Cut Taxes

Secretary of Treasury Humphrey has
made properly forceful protest against the
Democratic move in the House to cut indi-
vidual income taxes at this time. BY his
estimate, the proposal to give $40 tax
credit to each taxpayer and dependent
would cost the Government $23 billion
revenue for full calendar year. Ways and
Means Committee officials estimate the
potential loss at $21 billion and point out
further that the proposed credit would
result in removing about million taxpayers
from the income tax rolls. Whichever esti-
mate of loss is correct, approximately half
of the drop in revenue would occur in fiscal
1956-in which the administration already
foreseeS budget deficit of about $2.4 bill
lion. Adding substantial sum to this
deficit would increase the infiationary pres
sureS which the administration has sue
ceeded over the past two years in bringing
under reasonable control, a result which
could be greatly damaging to the public
interest.
Approximately 81 billion in tax relief
has been given during the past two years.
In the same period, Government spending
has been curtailed to bring closer the pros
pect of a balanced budget. The admins
tration is recommending now that scheduled
reductions in the corporation income tax
rates and in certain excises-involving an
estimated SO billion in annual revenue
should be extended for one year at their
present levels in the hope that another
general, though moderate" tax reduction
program might be enacted in 1856.
1t is unfortunate that political consid-
erations are playing a large part in the
maneuvering on tax legislation. For ex-
ample, the Democratic proposal to reduce
individual taxes is attached to the admin
istration plan to maintain current corpora
ton and excise tax rates-a maneuver OBJ
viously intended to minimize the danger
of presidential veto if the combination
bill should be passed Clearly enough, the
Government needs the revenue involved in
this combination of proposals and it is an
act of political responsibility to jeopardize
it. The Democrats, especially those who
are accusing the administration of spending
too little on national defense, should not
stoop to this kind of shabby politicking
with tax revenues

Poiliotive-Not q Cure

Flying restrictions under consideration
by the Civil AeronauticS Administration are
designed to relieve dangerous congestion in
commercial and military air channels over
the Washington area. Any such palliative
would be helpful in the prevailing serious
situation. But the only real cure is a second
airport-and right now there is no evidence
of determined action to provide the city
with such vital facility.
One of the purposes of the proposed
new restrictions is to reduce the risk Of
midair collisions in the overloaded traffic
patterns around Washington National Air
port and the military airfields across the
river. On an average day there are about
$40 takeoffS and landings at Gravelly Point
and at the Navy and Air Force terminals in
Anacostia. Planes passing through the area
add to the congestion. The CAA is studying
a plan to limit flying in new 21-mile-
long, 6-mile-wide and ,0OO-foot-high zone
extending into Prince Georges County. This
corridor would be reserved for aircraft en-
route to National Airport, the Naval Air
Station or Boiling Air Force Base. Private
flyers are UNDERSTANDABLE disturbed over this
prospective curb on their operations. The
safety of all must be the paramount objec-
tive, however.
1t cannot be stated too often that
public safety will be served adequately only
when Washington is provided with an
auxiliary airport, located within reasonable
motoring distance of the downtown district.
Sometime ago the President ordered an
interdepartmental committee. to restudy the
to the stalemated Burke project, and to
make a firm administration decision" as
to the next move. Political pressures ap-
parently have delayed the decision. The
longer the delay, the greater the hazards
for the flying public. Must it take an air
disaster to get necessary action?

Up to Congress

There is no doubt that Congress, in
adopting the Communist affidavit provisions
of the Taft-Hartley Act, hoped to prevent
Communist dominated unions from using
the facilities of the National Labor Relations
Board. Consequently, the recent ruling by
the Court of Appeals in the case of the In
ternational Fur and Leather Workers may
come as a surprise to some people.
This union is headed by Ben Gold,
convicted in April, 1854, of filing false
affidavit in 1850 that he was not Com
munist. In May, 1854, after Gold had been
reelected by the union despite his convic-
ton, he submitted another non-C Communist
affidavit to the Labor Board. Because of the
conviction, the board rejected this 1854 ap-
plication on the assumption that it, too,
was false. It held that the union member
ship knew the affidavit was false, and con-
Guided that, since the affidavit had been re-
jected, the union was not in compliance with
the Taft-Hartley requirement that all Of
flcers must file such affidavits.
The appellate court, quite rightly, held
that the board had no authority to do this.
The act provides for criminal prosecution of
anyone who files false affidavit and Con-
greSs probably thought this would force
Communist union officers to give up their
posts But the law does not provide for dis
qualifying a union because an officer files
false affidavit. If Congress wants to reach
this result, it can do so by changing the
law But the Labor Board should not be
permitted to take over the function of Con-
gress in this respect.

Overdue Retirement Upqrudinq

Joseph Young's February 4 obServa-
tions on much-needed and much-delayed
Federal retirement legislation should
arouse all employees as we'll as retired
persons tesconcentrated action.
The unfinished business of the United
States pay raise could have been fin
isfled business by this time had there
been the action on the part of Congress
promised by leaders of each of the
major parties in last years election
campaign. -
Is Congress making a grab for itself
under the smoke screen of the employe
pay raise?
There is now before Congress pro-
posed legislation which it is estimated
would increase the present retirement
benefits by about SO per cent and pro-I
vide an average increase of about 40
per cent for survivors, and such legisla-
ton would make special provision for
disability cases. The present and future
retirees and survivors have been care
fully considered. The cost of this can
easily be taken care of by proper use of
retirement receipts. These receipts have
been and are now more than ample for
good retirement legislation.
A retired person or employe may say
that he has not known about this, but
If he is too Indifferent to learn about
It, or too shy after he does learn about
it to inform his Senator and Congress-
man. then how can he expect his repre-
sentatives in Congress to know and do
what he thinks they should do?
Negative action is sometimes neces-
sary. but emphasis should be placed on
positive action, and with a united front
good retirement system can be OBJ
tained for present and future retirees.
have not the slightest doubt that we
have a majority Ga healthy majority
of Senators and Representatives who
would gladly revise our retirement sys-
tenn, as it should have been revised
years ago, if they could be assured of
support from employees and retirees.
This support can be given.
The present situation in the matter
Of sidetracking overdue retirement legis-
lation was well presented by Mr.. Young
and wish to express my appreciation.

Man of Peace

Herman Flicker, an analyst for the
Library of Congress, has informed us
that the cost of wars since 1917 adds
up to approximately $667 billion.
The end result of all these wars is
not only zero, but over one million
casualties below zero, which includes
about 100000 dead American con-
scripted servicemen. These facts prove
conclusively that all these wars were
not worth the bones Of single soldier.

sible to prosecute any of these wars
