Helping Hand Needed

Last year as I rang door
bells and collected dimes,
nickels and dollars for the
Mothers March on Polio, I
went to each door with a silent
prayer that these people would
search their hearts and give
generously to help fight this
crippling disease. My prayers
were answered. Most mothers
thought as they gave that per-
haps their dimes or dollars
would bring a little closer the
day a vaccine would be per-
fected to protect their chill
dren. That day at last is here!
After reading the joyous
news that their children would
receive the Salk vaccine free of
charge through the schools,
many parents found themselves
wondering how they might
show their gratitude. ! Won
der how many Of these parents
then turned a few pages of
their newspaper and read of
the plight of other crippled
children in this area?
The District of Columbia
Society for Crippled Children
is tagging 100000 in its drive
for funds to support the Grip
pied Children's Clinic. This
means that some children will
be unable to receive the
therapy SO necessary to re-
covery.
What a wonderful thing 1t
would be if every thankful
parent in this area would send
a contribution to this cause so
desperately in need Of help.
Many of us have intended
to contribute but have put it
off from one day to the next.
Remember, 1t takes just a
minute to write a check, but
it might take years of work
and suffering to straighten a
crippled limb. Let's help.
Mrs. Thomas H. Narem.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Trade Victory Seen for President
By GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower's re-
ciprocal trade bill, one of the
most important items in the
Eisenhower program, seems
now sure of becoming law
without crippling amendments.
If and when it does, the Presi-
dent will have scored another
victory-with the aid of both
Democrats and Republicans.
The bill, which passed the
House some time ago in &C.
ceptable form. has now been
reported to the Senate by the
Senate Finance Committee
with amendments so mild as
to leave it still acceptable to
the President.
The President has stuck to
his theme that international
trade is a road to international
peace. His concern. therefore,
has been an extension of the
reciprocal trade law. with pro-
visions which will enable the
Executive to make further tar
if reductions on imports. Ad-
dressing the annual luncheon
of the Associated Press in New
York this week. the President
put it this way: when all
people, everywhere, understand
that international trade. peace
full trade, is a fertile soil for
the growth of shared pros
perity, of all kinds of co-opera-
tive strength. and Of under
standing and tolerance, the
fruit thereof will be another
historic step on the road to
universal peace"
Favorably Reported
SO well and so thoroughly has
the whole subject been ex-
plored by Senator Byrd Of Vir-
ginia and the Senate Finance
Committee. Of which Byrd Is
chairman, that the committee
has been able to report the re-
ciprocal trade bill favorably by
a 13-to-2 vote. One Democrat,
Kerr Of Oklahoma, and one
Republican, Malone Of Nevada,
were the two diSSenters.
Doubtless there will be many
attempts to amend the bill
during its consideration on the
Senate floor to make more GER
tain the establishment of i'm
port quotas on items that
threaten American producers
and to strengthen the so-called
escape clause in the law. But
the chances now are the forces
supporting the bill will be able
to beat them down. The bill
provides, among other things,
for a three-year extension of
the Reciprocal Trade Act, as
the President recommended.

In announcing that the United States
plans to build an atomic-powered mer-
chant Ship-the first surface vessel of It's
kind in history-President Eisenhower has
made another good and inspiring move
to dramatic before the eyes Of the entire
world "the truth of our assertion that we
seek only just and lasting peace"
AS propaganda, of course, this project
has great potential value. But it is not
merely propaganda for propaganda's sake
not just slick stunt thought up by the
so-called "hucksters" Of Madison avenue.
On the contrary, as the President has ex-
planned it in his New York address to the
Associated Press, 1t is meant to give further
impetus to his -for-peace plan. And
in that sense, in a crisis-ridden world that
must constantly worry about the POSSIBLE
ity of drifting into "the horror of nuclear
war;" it serves as a timely and heartening
reminder of this fact: That "a crisis is
also the sharpest goad to the creative
energies Of men, when they recognize it
as challenge. -. Then, greatly aroused
yet realizing that beyond the immediate
danger lie vast horizons-they can act for
today in the light of generations still to
come"
Accordingly, In line with our Govern
ment's continuing and ever-growing effort
to show how man can live with the atom
and make 1t yield great blessings, the pro-
jected nuclear surface vessel-which will
be capable Of operating for scores of
thousands of miles" without refueling-
will be built to sail the seas as a kind of
floating inspiration and symbol of peace
in the Presidents words, it will be an
exhibit" ship whose prime function will
be to visit ports in all parts Of the world
In order to demonstrate to peoples every
where the benefcent uses Of atomic energy
uses that can bring about vast and
universal human betterment In terms of
health, agriculture, industry and economic
and social progress in general. Speaking
conservatively, the possibilities in that re-
spect are truly tremendous.
Very probably, ten years or so from
now, atomic passenger and merchant ships
like atomic combat vessels and subma-
rines-will be more or less common. Mean
while, however, the one the President has
spoken of (t should not take too long to
build, and maybe it should be christened
with some such name as MANS Hope")
can hardly fail to be an effective mission
airy for the kind Of peace our country is
seeking-the kind Of peace, indeed, that
all decent and rational people, regardless
Of ideologies and governments, yearn for
throughout the world.

politan Police Department tries
to keep cars out of downtown
Washington; the city spends
money to open free fringe

Dear Mr.. Zhukov

President Eisenhower was reticent,
and rightly so, in discussing his private
correspondence with Russia's Marshal
Zhukov. But this does not necessarily
mean that the matter is one of little con-
sequence.
1t is worth recalling that the Soviet
Defense Minister wrote letter last week
to the Overseas Press Club in New York
In that communication he spelled out some
rather arbitrary and unreasonable condi-
lions for enjoying peace with Russia. He
also went on to say, however, that the
common people of the world, whether in
New York, Moscow, London or Paris, want
no war. And despite the fact that the
ruling circles in the United States, accord
ing to the Communist Party line, are To-
menting war, Marshal zhukov saw At to
convey his good wishes" to President
Eisenhower. Then he added: 81 am sure
that he will remember our common assur-
anceS concerning the peaceful intentions
OF our countries and will. do his best to
promote practically the cause of peace"
Whatever else may be read into this, it is
a switch in the party line for Communist
American Presidents desire to maintain
peace.
At that time, the President declined
to comment on this letter. At his press
conference yesterday, however, he &C
knowledged, while seeming to minimize
its Importance, that he had been having
some personal correspondence with Mar
Oh Tofa ~;
In direct response to question, he alluded
again to his old friend, Marshal Zhukov,
and the latterS postwar devotion to the
idea Of promoting good relations between
the United States and Russia. The Presi-
dent added that he had not seen the mar
shall Since November, 1945, but volunteered
that he wished that we presumably Mar
shall zhukov and himself) could get some
victory in the cold war that would make
us feel as good as we felt on the day of
German surrender.
This Is not the most solid basis in
the world for concluding that there has
been turn for the better. Certainly it is
not formal or an Official ground for
encouragement. Still, in this abnormal
period, diplomacy works in strange ways.
There may be significance in letter from
the Russian Defense Minister to news
paper organization, or in the comments
of the President to his press conference.
Perhaps this is little thin, but those who
have feared that war is imminent may
take some encouragement from Mr.. Eisen-
hower's self-confessed feeling that things
are on the upswing.

A year ago, the best he could
obtain was a one-year exten.
sion. The measure gives the
President the power to reduce
individual tariff duties by 5
per cent a year, for each of
the three years, provided he
deems such reductions wise
and advantageous. Also, he is
authorized to lower to so per
cent any tariff duty higher
than that. But the Finance
Committee struck out of the
bill a power given the Presi-
dent in the House bill-to cut
in half the tariff on any item
not being imported or exported
in negligible quantities.
Compromise Adopted
The com ittee finally
adopted a compromise or
modified proposal for import
restriction by the quota route.
1t leaves to the President,
however. the final decision
when the director of defense
mobilization has advised him
that an article is being i'm
ported in such quantities as
TO threaten to impair the ma
tional security" The coal and
oil industries sought a directed
quota restriction on oil imports
10 per cent of domestic con-
sumption-but were defeated.
So did the producers of other
items. such as optical equip
ment and minerals.
The President believes that
trade should be a two-way af-
fair. He will do his utmost to
see that American producers
have q fair break for their
exports, as well as that foreign
producers shall be able to sell
to the United States. Some
American industries already
are feeling the pinch Of foreign
competition. But in the Presi-
dents opinion 1t would be un-
wise to start raising higher
walls against imports, for such
action would bring only retail
alton against our exports by
foreign nations. And American
farms and factories must have
their foreign markets If the
country's economy is not to go
on the rocks.
The tariff, however, has
always been a local issue. The
Senators. therefore, may be in
f1uenced in their consideration
and action on the pending bill
by what is happening to in
dustries in their States. The
President, for his part, must
think of the country as a whole
when considering the foreign
trade problem.

Look" he exclaimed, "a
snake!"
No doubt there was touch Of
alarm in his voice.
"A very little one" replied
a friend. Surely you are not
afraid of it?"
"Ha, ha, hal" laughed Jones.
Afraid of it? Certainly not!
Who's afraid of a little old
snake?"
The other said. Lets see
you pick it up"
"Ha. ha." roared Templeton
Jones. II am not afraid of
picking it up. I just am not
going to do it. that's all. I
picked UP a blacksnake once.
and didn't like the feel of it."
But this one," went on his
tormenter, "is such a little
bitty snake"
Its still q snake to me-"
said Jones. stepping gingerly
over the little serpent.
1t was still a snake to most
persons.
There is just something
about snake.
The bushmaster is only one
of the most deadly.
There is a little fellow that
lives part of his life in the
ground, and in no way resem-
bles the bushmaster, but he
is still all snake. Maybe he
will poke his head out of his
hole in your garden this sum-
mer. He will be near the back
door, in all likelihood.
Bushmaster is a good name.
He is master of the bush. He
Stays 'em all.
Master of the woods is the
name of a fine wildf1ower, one
with pretty green leaves and
very small white flowers. 1t
is one of the plants that does
well In the shade, where it's
fine green color and spreading
habits make up for the lack of
blossoms.
Sweet woodruff, it is called,
too But there is nothing sweet
about a bushmaster. Prob
ably it is just as we'll he
