Lincoln Would Shudder

The Abraham Lincoln National Repub-
ncan Club, with headquarters In Chicago,
has announced a drive to "WreSt control OF
the Republican Party from the New Dealers
and internationalists.'
Any one or any group, of course, can
appropriate the name of the Civil War Pres
ident. But it is safe bet that Lincoln, II
he were alive today, and if he thought the
Chicago drive was to be taken seriously,
would shudder ct such political folly.
In all probability, little if anything will
come from this Chicago effort. The club
was one of the sponsors of Lincoln Day
rally which was addressed by Senators Nc
Carthy and Malone among others. The
club president, Edgar c. Bundy, says he is
confident that he will have many other i'm
portant American leaders on "Our team"
when another meeting is held. Among those
named in this connection by Mr. Bundy are
Senators Knowland, Bricker Bridges and
Jenner. Since Senator Knowland has been
saying that President Eisenhower is not in
dispensable and should not be drafted in
1856 by the Republicans, 1t may be that he
is tempted by the Bundy line. If this is
the case however. it is doubtful that he
will be able to take many of his fellow Re-
publicanS with him.
They know, if MesSrs. Knowland and
Bundy do not that the G. o. P. as a party
is less popular than the President. One
reason for this is the voter diStrust of the
right wing the fear of what would happen
If it came into control of the party. MIR.
Knowland'S fellow right-Wingers also know
that the party has good chance to win
In 1856 with Mr. Eisenhower as its candi-
date, little chance without him. This is the
best reason why the drive of the Abraham
Lincoln National Republican Club is not
likely to get very far.

Templeton Jones is Of English de-
scent, and the English ordinarily do
not write about their wives, fathers and
mothers and other dear ones.
Their deepest emotions are not
shared with the public.
They keep them in the tender spot
in the heart which is the sacred place
of the race.
Even Shakespeare did not use his
own tor copy.
Aside from that, mental adventures
do not call for such intimacies as our
correspondent would propose. The mind
leads very lonely life by its very
nature.
Templeton Jones' experiences are
brief glimpses into the reality of the
mind, and it is because they are i'm
personal. in the better sense, that they
make such appeal as they do.
They are. in other words, good pre-
cisely because they do draw the line
between the artistic and the inartistic.
They have never bulged over into the
mawkish,
Their drawback may be that they
may seem cold. at times slightly in
human, to some readers, but such
should realize that this is the way the
mind is.
BY being true to his mind, Temp
Jones manages to make himself loved,
and understood, If not by all, at least
by most.

Silver From Denmark

The Danes, possessing one OF the SMALL
est land areas in Europe, nevertheless are
rich in the arts; and this is proved again
by the current exhibition Of Danish silver
at the Corcoran Gallery Most of the works
displayed trace back to Georg Jensen and
Johan Rohde, both able creators of metallic
design The pieces shown, however, repre-
sent folk ideas and folk endeavor Even
where the lines and forms are modernistic,
they are tolerable and can be lived with.
Some of the conceptions are Viking in
origin; some reflect the sea and its inhab-

itants: some are indebted to the birds in
the air and some even to the stars in their
courses.
None of the Danish ware is Classic. 1t
stems from an earlier time, time when
Classic had not been invented. Much of it
derives from strictly natural rhythms, like
flowing water or trees bending under the
weight of the wind. Exhibited under strate
gic lights, it glows like light itself. The
whole display speaks for the esthetic vitality
of the Danish people and thus constitutes
an interesting example of constructive
effort in world too much plagued with
destructive forces.

Call for HELD

It has become evident that one of the
administration top priority pieces of legis-
lation-the bill to carry on the reciprocal
trade agreements programs in serious
trouble on Capitol Hill AS passed by BIZ
partisan vote in the House. the measure
would extend the program for three years
and would give the President limited addi-
tional powers to make further Selective tariff
reductions. This is consistent with Presi-
dent EisenhoWer'S belief in lower interna-
tional trade barriers and represents the
majority recommendations of the Randall
Commission.
Serious opposition to the bill has de-
veloped, however, during several weeks of
hearings before the Senate Finance Com
mittee. And Democratic Chairman Byrd,
supporter of the reciprocal trade principle,
has warned the administration that major
difficulties are facing the legislation. AS in
the House, party lines are being crossed.
longtime high tariff Republicans are being
joined in opposition by certain Democrats
whose States have enjoyed great industrial
growth in recent years. Such industries
as textiles, chemicals, glass making and
coal mining have pointed to actual and
potential damage from foreign competition
In our own markets Additional opposition
has arisen since United States representa-
tiveS signed at Geneva new General Agree
ment on Tariffs and Trade, under which our
Government would be associated with 81
nation Organization for Trade Cooperation
to regulate future tariff revisions and to
police alleged trade determinations. Con-
gressional dislike of GAIT has been long
standing. The fact that Congress has not
yet been given details on the latest Geneva
agreement, and how it might affect our own
freedom of action, has aroused criticism and
prompted Senator Byrds warning to the
administration.
President Eisenhower told his news con-
ference last week that he would use every
bit of influence" he could properly employ
to obtain passage of the trade bill. Secre-
tary of State Dulles said message on GAIT
would be forthcoming soon. Prompt and
vigorous administration action along these
lines obviously is essential If restrictive
amendments to the reciprocal trade pro-
gram are to be defeated.

cent, or somewhere between the two.
Congress is also considering the
House has acted on it, bill to N.
crease pay of members of the armed
forces and commissioned services
ranging from to Is per cent, and it
is fairly certain that increases along
these lines will eventuate. In this
connection it should be remembered
that the retired personnel of these
services will automatically receive in
creases in their retired pay when the
active pay is increased-an advantage
not enjoyed by retired civil service
personnel.
Congress has just provided con-
tributory life insurance plan for active
Federal workers and will undoubtedly
provide also contributory health and
disqualification insurance plan. Civil
service workers retired before these
plans are instituted are ineligible to
participate though their need for fea-
lures of these plans is greatest when
retirement is reached.
One need only look at current sta
tus of most annuitants. The average
annuity paid to retired civil service
employees in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1854, was approximately $1,400 as
the result of his and the Governments
contributions. Those in the group re-
tired for disability averaged less than
$1,000 a year, and the widows and
dependent children averaged less than
$500 year.
Since the inflationary spiral which
commenced about IS years ago. the
value of the dollar has been cut APP
proximately in half. Annuities have not
been geared to the cost of living. It
would take approximately 2,400 of to-
days dollars to have the equivalent
purchasing power of a $1,000 annuity
at the beginning of the infiationary
cycle. Annuities have been increased
twice-once in 1948 by $500 or Is per
cent, whichever was lesser, and again
in 1852 by 1924 or Is per cent. This
latter increase did not apply to anyone
whose annuity was in excess of So 100
Annuities lag behind living costs even
where they are based upon higher pay
adjustments during the inflationary
cycle.
What is necessary is a practical,
permanent plan to gear annuity pay
ments to living costs so that the annui-
tant gets speedy and adequate adjust
ment. Pending this the Congress should,
at this session. grant relief, makeshift
though it might be, to stopgap the
hardships and worries of retired Fed
eral civil servants. Rising prices erode
fixed incomes. whether under or over

Reaction to YuIto Papers

Secretary of State Dulles has at
tended numerous high-level interna-
tional conferences since he has been
in office-conferences vital to the Sc
curity and sovereignty of the United
States and the peace of the world.
With the positive precedent of the
release of the extensive text of the
Yalta papers I now demand. as an
American citizen. that the State De-
partment publish the text of reports
on the recent meetings. including those
at Paris, Geneva, and Manila.
To date we have had from this Adj
ministration. on all international con-
ferences, only sketchy outline state
ments or formal agreements.
In keeping with the clear policy of
the State Department as now DEM
onstrated in the release of the Yalta
papers, I demand that the stenog
raphic reports on the conferences Of
the last two years be released forth
with-complete, as in the case of the
Yalta papers, with direct quote notes
on conversations. asides. and the like.
Unless the State Department is pre-
pared to do this, and without delay,
I shall draw the only conclusion pos
sible, namely, that the State Depart
ment has permitted itself to become an
abject tool of the Republican National
Committee.

Neuberoer Out on q Limb?

The people of Washington during
the past few weeks have been asked
to contribute to the Red Cross fund,
the heart fund, the crippled children
fund. and now the squirrel fund.
A little squirrel, that until recently
lived at the White House. and de-
Sires not to be quoted, has let it be
known that he very much prefers the
beautiful trees and wide open spaces
of Rock Greek Park to the confined
space on the White House lawn.
Maybe the S25 which Senator Neu-
berger has offered toward Save the
White House Squirrels Fund" would
bring more happiness if given to the
Summer Camp Fund sponsored by The
Star, which provides the underprivi-
legged children of Washington with
much-needed outing.
In my opinion it would be more
proper for Senator Neuberger to SOL
EMMY protest against the gepocide
going on for years behind the Iron
Curtain and to do all in his power to
avoid another Yalta- Malta like his
lOly-IIldhlIlS.
AS a taxpayer, I. do not like Sem
ators who are interested too much in
their pay raise and squirrels, and /
only hope that the majority of Ore
gonians will come to the same con-
clusion next election.

I read with great interest Senator
Neuberger's opinion on the White
House squirrel issue, and also that of
the 11-year-old boy Apart from the
conclusion that boys opinion is more
realistic and shows more love of nature,
1 wonder why Senator Neuberger wants
to make big political issue out OF this.
There are many other topics much
more vital to humanity than squirrels.

The efforts of the Junior Senator
from Oregon to stop the exile of the
squirrel population from the vicinity

Yalta teaches Constantine Brown
that we erred in talking politics too
soon with temporary ally when we
should have stuck to the military prob
lem of winning the war. Clemenceau
said that war is too serious to be left
to the generals. but Mr.. Brown says
that it should be left to no one else
the statesmen should be leashed and
prevented from holding international
conferences until after the war is won.
The trouble with this diagnosis is that
hindsight shows that the generals gave
President Roosevelt some poor advice.
The fault may have been not that
politics was considered too soon, but
that it was considered too late.

aged will supply enough forage for
three cows. He reports it is one of
the most profitable forage crops
grown.
Now is the time to seed Sudan
for grazing early in July. Springer
adds A seeding rate of 20 to 25 lbs.
of seed per acre is sufficient for a
good crop.
Sudan grass is suited to a num-
Der of soil types; however, one good
practice to follow in selecting the
spot to grow Sudan is to pick a
few acres of the best soil on the
farm. The cultural practices in
volved in growing Sudan are much
the same as for corn. The seed bed
should be worked up well but yet
be firm.
