more people ought to "tell on their
bosses"-an intriguing but perhaps ques-
tionable means of avoiding heart attack.
The doctor reached his conclusions after
careful study of the case histories Of 4S8
men and women who have had heart
trouble. Too many of them, he feels,
came by their trouble because Of quiet
brooding that "insulted" their blood YES
sci tissues.
Unfortunately, DR.. Gelfand's theory
pleasant though it might be-raises some
additional questions. Instead Of having
heart attacks, what would 438 men and
women have had? No jobs? Or perhaps
a swift executive punch in the nose? And
what would have been the effect on 4S8
bosses? Apoplexy maybe? Or perhaps
just plain old heart attacks? This sort Of
thing requires testing-on the battlefield,
as II were. Any volunteers?

Ready for Senate Action

Thanks primarily to the efforts of
Senator Morse, the bill making certain
revisions in the plea of insanity as
criminal defense in the District is ready
for final action in the Senate.
The bill has already been passed in
the House. 1t is designed to correct what
special subcommittee of the District
Council on Law Enforcement calls dan
gerous imbalance in the existing law in
favor of the accused and against the
public. Virtually all local authorities
concerned with the problem are support
ing the measure.
This being SO, there is every reason
why the bill should be brought to a vote
and finally passed. The danger is that it
may be lost in the shuttle during the last
few days of this session. 1t is to be hoped
that this opportunity to improve law
enforcement in the District will not be-
come casualty of neglect or indifference.

Sunday Business

Come, come, Mr.. Reissig
On the very day our President
returns from Geneva you prom
Use an anti freedom, anti

colt movement against busi-
nesses remaining open on Sum-

Please, what business is it
of the Federation of Churches,
or the Archdiocese. or the jew
ish Community Council when
tradesmen choose to sell their
wares?
Americans don't need to be
told by self-appointed groups
of "moralists" which businesses
are necessary and which un-
necessary to qualify for the
privilege" of remaining open
on Sunday.
You express concern for the
spiritual welfare of our coun-
try" That's fine. You should
have noticed by now that
America has done an outstand-
ing job in propagating the
principles of religious libsrty.
That's a strange climate into
which to introduce the sugges-
tion of a religious boycott.

Strengthening Adenouer

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has not
vet given the exact date OF his projected
visit to Moscow as the Kremlin's guest to
discuss reunification and the establish
ment of diplomatic relations between
West Germany and the Soviet Union.
But whenever he goes-which will be
before the Big Four foreign ministers
meeting in October he will be able to
talk with the Russians from solid posi-
ton. This is so not merely because
his country has become sovereign mem
ber of the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation, but also because the Bonn Parlia-
ment has now resoundingly supported
his governments rearmament policy.
The support has come in the form
of an overwhelming vote completing en-
actment of the first two of the numerous
bills needed to equip West Germany with
a 50000-man navy, an 86,000-man air
force and 500,000-man army. The new
legislation will permit the immediate
recruitment of 5000 volunteer officers
and noncommissioned officers, all OF
whom are expected to be in their
American-style uniforms within the next
few weeks. Their job. under the NATO
command, will be important in the build
up of the armed strength that Bonn is
authorized to organize under the Paris
accords
OF course, as the figures show, this
represents only small start on the big
arming job that remains to be done.
But it is significant start that offers
concrete evidence of West Germanys new
role as an ally firmly committed to the
common defense of free Europe and the
Atlantic community as a whole. The
Russians, who are anxious to "neutralize"
the Germans, do not like any of it, but it
unquestionably has further strengthened
DR.. Adenauer's hand for whatever deal
ings he may have with them.

A Question of Ethics

Secretary Talbott's withdrawal from
Paul B. Mulligan & Company, from which
he has been receiving about $65,000 a
year, does not mean, of course, that he
has acted with propriety in that concerns
behalf. The question in this respect is
one of ethics, involving past activities.
President Eisenhower has summed up
the matter plainly and bluntly. In the
Presidents words, the question which he
must decide is whether proper stand
ard" of ethics was violated. Did Mr..
Talbot use his official Office improperly
in behalf of the Mulligan concern, or did
he merely use his personal influence
completely divorced" from his office?
The President was asked how, as
general proposition, he would draw the
distinction between an office and an
individual. Conceding the difficulty of
doing this, Mr.. Eisenhower went on to say
that he thought the only thing for
public servant to do is "to avoid any indis-
cretion that even leans Tin the direction
of improperly using his off1ce) or even
gives the appearance that an office might
be used"
Does Mr.. Talbott's whole performance
in Office measure up to these speciflca-
tions? Was he completely divorced"
from his Office when he solicited business
for the Mulligan concern on Air Force
stationery? Was he avoiding even the
appearance" that his Office was being
used in the conversation with the RCA
Attorney conversation initiated at
Mr.. Talbott's request by the general
counsel of the Air Force?
These are the essential questions
which the President will have to consider
in weighing the Talbot case. 1t will be
a hard decision for the President to make,
for Mr. Talbot is personal friend and
he has been an excellent Secretary.
Furthermore, the fact that Mr.. Talbot
consulted the Attorney General might be
taken as indicating that he was not con-
cious of improper activity. At any rate,
he was not trying to conceal 1t.
In spite of this, however, it seems
clear that Mr.. Talbot has not only given
the appearance of using his office IN
behalf of the Mulligan company; he has
actually used it,

THE POLITICAL MILL
Women Voters Weld Great Power
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The terrific power of woman
suffrage in the United States,
which had its birth in the
Federal Constitution IS years
ago on August 26, has been
proven many times. Particu-
larly was this true in the
presidential election of 1852,
when women by the millions
went to the polls and in large
proportion voted for Dwight
D. Eisenhower. Today, the Re-
publicans and the Democrats
have already begun an inten-
sive campaign to. line up the
women voters for next years
election. On the result may
turn that election.
Generally speaking, Presi-
dent Eisenhower is as strong
with the women voters as he
was three years ago. And if
his crusade for world peace is
as effective as now appears
likely, it is reasonable to be-
lieve the majority of the
women will be for him again
If he Is the G. o. P. nominee
to succeed himself.
Women. in the last IS years,
have made more and more
place for themselves in public
life and public office-high

lin D. Roosevelt named the
first woman to serve as a
cabinet offlcer-MisS Frances
Perkins, Secretary of Labor.
President Eisenhower ap-
pointed Mrs. Oveta Culp

first Secretary of the Depart

Student Tourists

The efforts of the hotels in
the city to obtain lower stand

cilities for their student-tour-
ist guests is seriously disturb
ing to those of us who are
concerned about the safety,
health and welfare of people.
The draft housing code pro-
vides that a bedroom Z by 10
feet should have one person
only. For two persons, a bed
room 10 by 10 feet. For three
persons. S by 10 feet more
should be added. These stand
ards meet the minimum health
standards.
The hotel men want to al
low two persons in a 7-by-l0-
foot bedroom, and three per-
sons in a 10-by-10-foot bed
room. Thus almost doubling
their money for the same
space. The student tourists

want the ratio of six persons

at the very time every effort
is being made to raise the low

If the hotels are not able to

is no doubt their "guests" will

She was chairman of the Vet

gresses-the first woman to
hold that Office.
The only woman member Of
the Senate is Mrs. Margaret

major political party will get
around to placing a woman on
its national ticket-for Presi-
dent or Vice Presidents any
body's guess. When 1t hap

vote for women as women?-
will perhaps be answered.
In the meantime. women
make their contributions to
the political campaigns Of the
Nation and Of the States. One
of these contributions is ef-
fective raising Of campaign
funds. The Republican women
of the National Capital last
spring, under the leadership OF
Mrs. Howard Coffin, raised
$4,000 and turned 1t over to
the Republican national treas
urer at a dinner arranged by
the women and attended by
President Eisenhower, Vice
President Nixon, members OF
the cabinet and many other
bigwigs of the party.
Again, the women may de-
eide next year who is to be
President.

ing and worthwhile way in
which they organized and put
on the series of public educa-
tion programs called Traffic

grams are off the air, we
miss them more than ever.
Certainly they were among
the most useful of all pro-
grams to appear on TV. Steps
should be taken to return this
fine show to T'V promptly.
The important business of
saving life and property is
serious and needs the educa-
tion Of such a program to
cut down on the loss of human
life and valuable personal
property.
Judge Nelson. who so ably
presided at each session, really
carried the show forward. He.
I must say and quite uncom-
mon to tradition, looked and
acted the part of a Judge.
The clear and concise man
ner in which he brought out
important points of educa-
ton was highly commendable.
He has set a high standard
for other judges to measure
up to, and we are most anx-
ious to see If they conduct
their court in the same digni-
fed. intelligent and fair way
he does.
1t. Nicholson of the Police
Department, and also Sgt. Os-
truni and Lou Brott deserve
thanks for the fine parts they
played. A grateful community
must not let such outstand-
ing public service as that

The beagle is a fine little
sporting dog, good in the coun-
try, suburbs and town.
Though made for the fields.
it is so pleasant and happy in
its disposition that it takes to
apartment life, even though
it may become too fat for lack

Someone has said that what
the terrier is to Englishmen
the beagle Is to Americans, or
almost.
The average person will be
lost amid such terms as har-
rier. hunting dogs and beagles.
The word beagle comes from
"begeles," a 14th-century ver-
sion. 1t became beagle" in
the lush 17th-century days.
Some say that our modern
word is from a French word
meaning open throat. and

However you call him, this
is a good-natured fellow, and

beagle was introduced into
America about 1876, so he is
a comparatively recent new
conner to our shores, as such
things go, having been ante
dated by the English sparrow.

1854.
A famous sportsman with a

rabbit hunting in the Phila-

Sometimes it Is called rabbit
hound, and by some is known
by no other name: but. as

or why, he remains one of our
finest little dogs, friendly to
little ones, easily handled and
kept, and a trustworthy COM
panion. You may hear of other
breeds biting people. but hard

among beagles have been Mer-

Dear Sir:
while waiting for a bus
about 10 miles south of Berke-
ley Springs. w. Va, the other
day. I saw something very
interesting.
Fright across the highway
(522) from me was a stubble
field. A brown bunny made his
appearance, springing through
a hedgerow on the left OF the
field. There was narrow dirt
road on the other side of the
hedgerow and from that di-
rection I could hear that un-
forgettable combination OF sad
baying and squeals of delight
that a beagle sounds when he
is on the scent.
Bunny paid no attention
to the sound. He leisurely
hoped this way and that in
a meandering course, stopping
every once in q while to eat a
green sprout.
1.-THE sounds from the beagle
continued. finally became a
little impatient and walked
over to the side road to see
what was OBTAINING him.
"He was coming slowly down
the road, an old hound with
a broad beam and a comical
lope. He went through the
hedge just about where the
rabbit did.
"As 1 had carefully noted
the rabbits course. I was able
to see how closely the hound
followed it. He didn't follow
it step by step but started into
the field on a meandering
course of his own. And every
time he crossed bunny's path,
he would bay and squeal at
the same time, the squeals ex-
pressing more and more ex-
citement.
Finally he flushed bunny,
who took six quick leaps and
went through the hedge again,
with old fatso, tail up, leaping
behind. The beagle did not
pursue bunny through the
hedge but came back and
started shifting around where
bunny had been wagging his
tail as happy as could be.
"It occurred to me that
bunny had probably been play
ing this game with old fatso
for weeks and that some day
during the hunting season fat
SO will be followed by a man
with a gun and that when
bunny leaps. the game will be
over.
Sincerely, G. K"
The beagle and the bunny
always make a good story, not
always with such a happy end
ing.
Let us leave the bunny on
Highway 522 forever eating
clover.
The beagle will be blowing
his musical bugle until the
cows come home.
Let us hope and believe that
the man with the gun never
comes along. He would do
better to stay at home, any
way. There he could have nice
cool drinks, and good things
to eat, and papers and maga-

Crease Conscious

Now that there Is serenity
at the summit, let us take a
look at one of the gaping
wounds in our world leader
ship.
I refer to the persistence of
Washington's dry cleaners in
turning this world capital into
a crude, immature, crossroads
every time they take an iron in
their hands.
How do they do this?
Simply by continuing to
press creases in the coat sleeves
of men whose enlightenment
is otherwise beyond question.
I do not defend the rolled
sleeve as a mark of sophistica-
ton. I hold no brief for So
phiStication which, even a dry
cleaner should know, is super
flciality's tribute to true wis
dom.
No, I oppose the creased
sleeve as a shackle, linking
man to a pinched, SNUG and
sman-minded past.
But. let me be constructive
on the subject of breaking this
iron grip Of restraint on human
progress. Let us have a scale
of punishments to fit the
crime: For the first offense,
the price of the dry cleaning;
second, the price of the suit;
and, third. suspension or rev.
ocation of license.
