find myself working one day in
five for the Federal Govern

is taken by withholding tax

of the remaining four days
salary is consumed by various

not know, but it certainly Is
a very appreciable sum.
1t is both discouraging and

that taken from millions Of

THE GAME OF POLITICS
Democrats Lack q Real issue
By FRANK R. KENT

again. While his wife's health
conceivably might force the
President to eliminate himself,
it is inconceivable that the III
fiuence of his mother-in-law
would outweigh the claims OF
his party and the country. Yet
that is typical Of the sort of
anti Eisenhower propaganda
that is more or less rampant
In washington today. 1t is not
effective and it is not well
done, but it serves to demon
strate the level to which the
present Democratic campaign
activities have sunk. Small
bore sharpshooting is the order
of the hour. Anything calcu-
lated to disparage or embarrass
the President is made use of.
Concededly, this is not a
pleasant position for a great
party to occupy. but it none
the less seems unacceptable II
politics as usual Is going to be
pursued by the opposition
party in the face of the critical
condition in which the Nation
finds itself as a result Of world
developments and the newt
able world leadership which
has been forced upon us. Few.
indeed. will deny the critical
condition and fewer still the
heavineSs of the burden upon
the President to preserve the
peace and at the same time
prepare to meet the most
dreadful war in history. Yet,
clearly that is what Mr.. Eisen-
hover is trying to do.
No Easy Victory
The reason 1t Is so hard
for the politicians Of the OPP
position to accept this is that
most of them suspect that
there is no way in which they
can win. If the Eisenhower
Dulles foreign policy in For
mosa and the Far East is
successful in avoiding war,
which is its declared and OBJ
vious object, then hardly any
one thinks General Ike's re-
nomination and reelection
can reasonably be doubted. On
the other hand. should 1t fail
and war come, 1t does seem
reasonable to believe Cat least
the polls and reports appear
to show that the American
people would rather have Mr..
Eisenhower at the helm than
any Democrat available, in
Guiding the witty Mr.. Steven
son. Considering these things,
plus the very obvious fact that
they have not been able to
make convincing case against
either his domestic program or
management of domestic af-
fairs. and in the absence Of
any such scandals as charac-
terized the preceding admins
trations, it is not surprising
that the Democratic nrofnS-
SIGNALS find themselves re-
duced to magnifying unim-
portant things and personal
heckling and disparagement
Of the President. This ought
not to bother him very much
and there is reason to believe
it does not. Looked at calmly,
it is part of his job and to
be expected. Also, in a way,
it seems complimentary.

Theodore Moves Memorial

It is fitting that the Public Library
of the District of Columbia should COM
memorate the life and services of Theo-
dore william Noyes. He was its father
and the first president of its Board Of
Trustees. One of the mementos in the
room at the Central Library Building re-
Gently dedicated to him is a copy of his
editorial printed in The Star, January 3,
1891, calling for the establishment of such
"a university of the people" in Washington.
Around this scrap of microalm soon will
be assembled many other souvenirs OF his
career as devoted servant of the Capital
community and the Nation at large. Books
he wrote, books about him, books compiled
from his contributions to The Star and
other newspapers and magazines, collec-
tions of his speeches and letters, tributes
paid to him in his sunset days, diplomas
and certificates in recognition Of his civic
leadership and many supplementary relics
of his interests and labors and Of their
fruits are to be brought together within
the four walls which bear his name.
The Noyes room also is to be the por-
ton of the Central Library assigned to
hold the Washingtoniana materials already
in hand plus those which will be added to
them. Nowhere else in the District is
there such a depository of documentary
data on the Federal City, its people and
their affairs. Especially will the room
accommodate papers relating to the fiscal
and political disabilities Of Washington.
Mr.. Noyes' work in this respect will serve
useful purpose in a continuing effort to
have Congress grant representation and
financial equity to the Americans who live
within the District. The Moves room thus
is and will be projection Of Mr.. Noyes
himself and living memorial Of the kind
which, because Of It's civic and social pur-
pose, he would approve.

"that desert triangle has as its
apex a most valuable asset for
Israel which we would never
