Attack our youth-no more need they

This charming and tender gesture on
the part of such busy man touched
and warmed the hearts Of all who be-
came aware of this mission of mercy.
Politically wise, Mr.. Eisenhower has
exhibited remarkable aptitude and an
uncommon fair for getting along with
people. He has a difficult Congress to
deal with, and not infrequently speeches
delivered on the Hill are marked by
criticisms and even personal affronts
aimed directly at the White House.
But there is never any sign Of our
President smarting under these dis
courtesies, for his words are never
incorporate nor are they colored by
any show of vindictiveness
Mr.. Eisenhower is undoubtedly
highly appraised public servant and 1t is
hoped that those who are wantonly
predicting that he will not run again
In So will find themselves when the
next. election year rolls around grew
ously frustrated and embarrassed

DIM VIEW oE MODERN ART

DIM VIEW OF MODERN ART
Only a few short seasons ago. the
Corcoran Gallery's biennial show was
worth seeing, with many works OF in
terest, some even of grandeur. Now.
alas, the situation has sadly changed.
Searching carefully wall after wall, one
finds only three, possibly four. paint
ings that one would care to even re-
member-and these are not the prize
winners
Is this the penalty for our fast
moving modern age? Time was when
art was one of the great professions
close to the highest ideals and the
most realistic joys of the people. But
now these many paintings. the So
called cream chosen by so-called ex-
perts, seem a waste of wall space
cluttered up as they are with scavenger-
hunt type of objects. mutilated by
slasheS and slabs of paint. In only
few can one find the redeeming quality
of good design this year And the
many vacant spaces which fash out
like astonishing islands from seas of
vacant and muddled minds. And this
10 wv Dduy bCCduSC tIlCoC IlOloy dl10
inept paintings do not represent the
whole of art today. There are good
painters, competent painters, even in
spired and religious painters at work
today. There are excellent teachers
and the glory of art still lives. It seems
that the wonderful gallery founded by
the great w. w. Corcoran and still
supported by many truly art-loving
people does itself continuing injustice
to ride the supposed band wagon in its
national shows. Freedom of expression
is truly priceless ingredient but it is
not compatible with craftsmanship, and
the glories of tomorrow can be built
on the glories of yesterday. To say
that we must start at the very begin
ming every time in art. so that our
work may be wild, primitive. unin-
hibited, is about as foolish as to say
that when we write we must pretend
we have no words so that we may be
more like our cavemen forbears. How
retarded would all our professions be
If they assumed such an attitude.
Transportation would be by foot or
wheelbarrow; cooking would be back
at the raw-meat stage OF. course,
civilization can have its surfeits and
art its baroques, but somewhere in
between is golden mean Let's hope
for a new Renaissance in art here in
America which will be more palatable
to the majority of the people than that
esoteric raw meat" raw color nom
sence which cutters up wall after wall
until most lockers become somewhat
"shockproof" and can't even see the
paintings, they begin to look so much
alike. Perhaps some of these modern
experts need rest cure from so-called
modern art.

FIFTY OF cITY'S FINEST

My fellow donors at recent visit
to the Red Cross Blood Center were
some SO Washington policemen.
During this off-duty period, I was
impressed by their fine physical ap-
pearance. their genial courtesy toward
everybody and their obvious content
ment with fife They were excellent
examples of what would like to call
the "citys finest"
I'll try to remember this the next
time one Of them gives me hard look
and talking-to over some infraction
of traffic law learned that their
bark is worse than their bite, pro-
vided, of course. that the offense is
minor.
These men are credit to the Federal
City.

Park, Shop Where You Like

The parking for-shoppers plan
announced by new organization, the
Downtown Merchants Parking Association,
should have wide appeal to customers of
local business houses. It is a program that
ought to prove mutually beneficial to stores
and shoppers in this era of growing traffic
and parking problems
Under the plan worked out in series
of conferences among Washington mer-
chants and parking lot operators, pro-
spective shopper may choose his own park
ing lot in the downtown section, receive his
usual ticket and have 1t stamped by a sales
clerk at the store. The stamped ticket will
entitle the parker to the first hour Of park
ing free of all cost. The store stamping the
ticket will pay the bill, as courtesy to the
customer.
Some stores and nearby parking lots
already have limited arrangements OF this
sort. However, this will be the first time
in any city that so broad a program has
been undertaken. This plan involves more
than courtesy to customers, of course. It
is designed to improve downtown business
that has been adversely affected by parking
troubles and costs Stores in the congeSted
district have lost too many old customers
because of the lure of outlying shopping
centers, with plenty of parking space. The
Park where you like, shop where you like"
idea behind the new plan is far step in the
direction of arresting further defections
and regaining lost customers. The move
ment deserves support Of the selling and
buying public.

Gated fight against polio proves otherwise.
Certainly, given decent and enduring
peace, man-American man. Russian man,

Formoso and Mr.. Stevenson

The Chinese Communists, clearly i'm
plying that they will resort to armed force If
necessary, have repeatedly affirmed their
determination to 'liberate" FormoSa under
any and all circumstances. That Is the chief
fact to be kept in mind in considering what
Adlai Stevenson, titular head of the Demo-
cratic Party, has had to say about the issue.
Mr.. Stevenson wants our Government
to persuade our allies and all "uncommitted"
powers to join the United States in decla-
ration condemning the use of force Gin the
FormoSa Strait. He also wants our country
to try to have the United Nations General
Assembly give voice to similar declaration
pending some final settlement of the islands
status-"by independence, naturalization,
truSteeShip, plebiScite, or whatever is
wisest" Meanwhile. apparently, he would
like to see President Eisenhower make clear
to everybody-on both sides of the Iron
Curtain-that American strength will not
be employed to defend the offshore Que
moys and Matsus.
Much of this sounds quite reasonable.
AS matter of fact, even though the results
thus far seem to have been less than salts
factory, our Government has been seeking
to have all parties agree to declaration
against force in the Formosa area More
over, as Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has indicated,
the administration has been thinking for
some time past about the adviSability of
pressing for United Nations action along
that line. As for several of Mr.. Stevenson's
other pointS-hiS statement of miSgivingS,
his questions about the legal status and
military value of the offshore islands, and
his suggestion that those islands should be
handed over to Peiping-he has said moth
ing new. The same points have been sub
jected to exhaustive debate in Congress, and
Congress has overwhelmingly rejected them
in favor of the historic resolution wisely
giving the President fexibility of decision
on the Quemoy- MatSu relationship to For
mosa's defense.
Mr.. StevenSon's speech, though rather
eloquent, is less than impressive for at
least two other reasons. The first of these
is that he has sought, while disavowing a
spirit of partisanship, to argue that domes-
tic Republican politicking is responsible for
the tense Formosa situation when actually
the prime cause of that situation is Peiping's
threat to use force. And the second great
deficiency in his thesis Is the suggestion
that the danger of an Asian war would be
diminished, or eliminated, if the United
States would only pressure Chang Kai-slek
into evacuating the Quemoy and Matsu
Islands and handing them over to Red
China.
This Is an extremely wishful suggestion
at best. For the Chinese Communists, If
they mean what they say, which they prob
ably do, are uncompromisingly resolved to
take physical possession of Formosa-by
armed force If other means fail In S1ch
circumstances, 1t seems colossally naive for
Mr.. Stevenson or anybody else to suppose
that the appeasement of Quemoy-Matsu
surrender would serve the cause of peace
in Asia.

The State. in its brief, also suggests
that the psychological needs of whites

chologically injurious only to Negroes?
Dyed-in- the-wool racists will not be

IN PRAISE OF EISENHOWER

popular men to occupy the White
House. His administrative capacity
is outstanding and his ardent adj

His genial personality. his radiant smile

and charitable heart is reflected in the

Polio and Man at His Best

The news from Ann Arbor-the I'M
mensely heartening and dramatic evalua-
ton of DR.. Jonas E. Salk's vaccine against
poliomyelitis- so good that even the
usually restrained and conservative Amer
lean Medical Association has not hesitated
to hail it as lone of the greatest events in
the history of medicine"
And the accolade is well deserved. For
now, at long last, man seems very definitely
to have conquered, or at least to have re-
duced to relatively minor ailment, what
has been one of his most pitileSs scourges-
an epidemic crippler and killer that has
spread fear and tragedy among countless
families throughout our country and the
world at large for generations past.
Never before has there been such
massive and monumental thing as the Salk
test. Hundreds and hundreds Of thousands
of American children have participated in
It, and the results have been measured and
weighed by some of our best scientific and
statistical brains. They are thrilling results.
What they show is that the vaccine-which
is being mass-produced through growth in
a medium containing bits Of kidney tissue
from monkeys-is an altogether safe and
decidedly potent immunizer. And this holds
true for all three types of polio, particularly
the bulbar type, which is the deadliest.
In brief, according to the findings at
Ann Arbor, the vaccine is between 80 and 80
per cent effective in terms Of preventing
the dread disease, and DR.. Salk has conf
IDENTIFY predicted that it will become-with
further Internationally 100 per cent

particular aspect of life, is exceedingly
bright. True, certain matters have yet to
be cleared up, including questions having
to do with ~ the permanency Of the inn
munizing process and (2) the time intervals
to be followed in giving the three "shots"
involved in that process. But still the
great fact remains, despite the "iffy'' fac
tors, that the American people and peoples
everywhere now are within reach OF an
agent that firmly promises to render them
as immune to polio as to smallpox and other
once-terrible scourges.
Dr. Salk, of course, is the immediate
hero of this story. But his achievement,
as he himself would emphasize, Is the flow-
ering of vast amount of preceding work
by many other individuals and groups, In

contributions to the annual March OF

Never has a larger common front been
modified against disease, and never has
such front won greater victory.

at his best-a story that demonstrates how
