Step in Right Direction

Adoption by the District government
Of one-package charity fund drive this
year amounts to an official protest against
the multiplicity of money-raising cam
paigns here. The public generally al
ready has expressed its dissatisfaction.
There is growing sentiment for an all
inclusive solicitation of the united fund"
type. The District plan is step in the
right direction.
Federal as well rs District govern
ment officials long nave been concerned
over the time and effort devoted to many
sorts Of fund drives. A bill to authorize
Federal agencies to use payroll -deduc-
ton method for charity contributions
failed to pass during the recent session
of Congress. Such authority is considered
a prerequisite to consolidation Of charity
drives in the Government departments.
This legislation is important and should
be passed at the next session. There is
not much chance of successful united
fund program in Washington until all
governmental agencies are in position to
join with private industry in once-for-
all campaign.

Nj. Truman Sounds Well

Former President Truman sounds like
his old SELF # there has been any reason
for concern about the former Presidents
health or spirit he has dispelled the
doubts in announcing his personal plans
for the next few weeks. And not sur
prisingly, his plans are predominantly
political.
I'm going to tear into the Repub-
licans," Mr.. Truman told the Associated
Press In discussing schedule of speeches
that begins in Indiana next week and ex-
tends to California in mid-September. It
is promise, certainly. that one may rely
on, for no occupation is more to the taste
of the first citizen of Kansas City, Mis-
souri,. Neither was 1t unexpected to
hear the former Democratic President
predicting rousing victory for his party
in 1856. Mr.. Truman is not inclined to
suffer from lack Of confidence in these
matters. And, finally, 1t was fully In
keeping with his doctrine of party loyalty
that he pledged: I'm in this fight for
the duration, and behind the Democratic
nominee, whoever he may be-"
In snort, 1t was the OLD "g1ve-em-he
victorious campaigner Of 1948 speaking.
1t may be argued, of course, that Mr..
Truman's aggressive participation in the
forthcoming campaign is not necessarily
an unmixed blessing to his party. There
were indications in 1852 that some States
were voting as much against Mr.. Truman
as for Dwight Eisenhower. It has hap
pened, too, in our political history that
the Intervention of "elder statesmen" is
not uniformly popular within partisan
circles. However that may be, Mr.. Tru-
man has made his own plans. Obviously,
he intends to be in the middle Of things
politically in the forthcoming months.
And it will seem like old times to find
him there.

7hinos Are Not So Bad

Things are bad, what with hurricanes,
the heat, the Communists and hay fever.
But they are not all bad, as witness the
case of Blackie, the cocker spaniel, in
nearby Edmonston, Maryland All is not
wrong with the world when men
notorious for their inhumanity to men
can devote hours of sweat and toll to the
rescue from a storm sewer Of trapped
dog. Blackie needed but to make his
plight known to passersby to get action.
Things soon began to buzz in Edmonston.
Firemen, policemen, plain citizens and
others tried various schemes for getting
the dog out, in vain. There was only one
way left-the hard way. Would the high
way authorities co-operate? They would
and did, without hesitation. So men with
picks and shovels and air drills went to
work digging up perfectly good street,
while traffic stopped and bystanders
cheered. It cost Maryland's taxpayers
$3.50 to retrieve Blackie from the sewer.

Elections and Korea

With the full support Of Peiping, the
North Korean Communists have come out
in favor of Far Eastern conference that
would have as its main objective the uni
flcation of partitioned Korea. But Secre-
he takes very dim view Of their idea,
and he does so for an excellent reason.
The reason is this: That they apparently
are as opposed as ever to holding genu-
inely free countrywide elections under
the strict supervision of the United
Nations.
Last December, when the General
Assembly-by vote of so to 1.-THE Soviet
bloc alone dissenting -formally urged
that such elections be staged, the Com
munists countered with proposal of their
own. The proposal, turning thumbs down
on the idea of having the balloting thor
oughly policed by the U. NJ, called for
supervision by special international
commission" so rugged as to enable its Red
members to veto any measures designed
to prevent fraud and terrorism at the
polls. Needless to say, the Assembly
promptly and overwhelmingly rejected
this plan as one whose adoption would
doom all of Korea to being dragged in due
course behind the Iron Curtain.
And now, in their new call for Far
Eastern conference, the Communists have
offered no sign of having retreated from
their past position on this issue Of holding
a really free and strictly policed vote
throughout the divided country. AS Mr..
Dulles has said, II can't detect, so far, any
evidence that they are willing to change
in that respect"-change in manner
that might rather readily result in re-
uniting Korea. Hence, the outlook for
such result continues to seem about as
unpromising as ever. At any rate, there
can be no disputing Mr. Dulles view that
$50 long as the North Koreans are not
willing to have properly supervised ma
tion-wide elections, do not see any very
practical way of bringing the unification
about"
In these circumstances, the United
States has every reason to turn a cold
shoulder to the proposal for Far Eastern
conference on Korea. OF course, If the
Communists would reverse themselves
and accept the U. MS call for truly free
elections, then such conference might
be able to achieve valuable peace
promoting results. AS matters stand,
however, it could hardly be much more
than a waste of time or propaganda

The Constitution

Secretary Of Commerce
Weeks has made the same error
in interpreting the Constitution
that was made by Presidents
Truman and Roosevelt. It is
an error born from a desire
for autocracy or dictatorship:
a desire to raise to equality q
subordinated division of Gov
Observation-Disclosures by the
intention and writing of those
wise. wise men who wrote the
Constitution.
The fallacy common to
Messrs. Weeks. Truman and
Roosevelt Is the stating that
the three branches of Govern
ment, judicial. executive and
legislative. have equal powers
under the Constitution.
Were this fallacy q truism,
there could be created within
the United States a complete
stalemate, a complete impos-
sibility Of government, and
with such a stalemate the
Chief Executive would natu-
rally emerge as a dictator.
Our so-wise forefathers were
not mouse-trapped into per-
hitting such an outcome. It
must be recalled that through
out the Constitutional Con-
vention, it was the aim Of
those who fought the War of
the Revolution to escape from
dictatorship, that no Dictator
ship could be established in
the United States.
Throughout the convention
the aim was to curb the power
of the Chief Executive.
To safeguard from dictator
ship, they established:
Cd A judiciary, appointed
by the Chief Executive. re-
quiring the approval Of the
legislative branch. The judi
ciary was given no power Of
approval or disapproval or re-
moyal of those elected to Fed
eral Office.
90 A Chief Executive elect
ed by the people with much
power, but without the right
to remove members of Con-
gress or the Supreme Court.
80 A Congress elected by
the people and in whose hands
were placed the power to re-
move members of the Supreme
Court and the Chief Execu-
tive himself.
In the event Of a stalemate
between the three branches
of Government, the solution
was placed in Congress by Civ.
ing it the right to remove
those who would obstruct OF
dictate.
And so those wise men Of
1887 safeguard this country
from dictatorship.

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
"a Republican Rhuborb

Ambassadors for the United
States abroad. Their names
are occasionally mentioned as
potential nominees for the
Senate. It Is no secret that
Mr.. Lodge wanted to run for
the Senate instead Of for Gov
ernor. His brother, Henry
Cabot Lodge. jr., United States
Ambassador to the United
Nations, was a Senator from
Massachusetts at the time.
John Lodge, a member Of the
House, was sidetracked to the
gubernatorial nomination.
No Big Candidates
When it comes to the gen.
eral election, the Democrats
have no outstanding candidate
to run against Senator Bush.
Two names are suggested.
Former Gov. Chester Bowles
and Representative Thomas j.
Dodd. Mr.. Bowles was de-
feated for reelection as Gov
ernor by John Lodge IN 1850.
It is rumored he would like to
make a political comeback, If
he can. Mr.. Bowles, however.
made enemies in q number Of
groups when he was Governor
and it is questionable how
strong he would be if he en-
tiers the lists. Mr.. Dodd is the
sole Connecticut Democrat in
the House. He represents the
Hartford district. where the
Republicans have had most of
their troubles. It does not APP
pear that the Democrats have
much of a chance of winning
the Bush seat, certainly at this
writing. The most popular
Democrat in the State today
is Gov. Ribicoff. He defeated
Mr.. Lodge for Governor last
year, but by a narrow margin.
Mr.: Lodge. like Mr.. Bowles,
had aroused antagonism dur
ing his term as Governor. Gov.
Ribicof would probably be the
strongest candidate the Demo-
Gratis could put up for Senator.
He, however, has not yet served
one year of a four-year term as
Governor. II he ran against
Senator Bush next year and
was elected, the Democrats
would lose q chief executive Of
the State.
Mr.. Eisenhower, according
to leading politicians here, is
still exceedingly popular in
Connecticut. Indeed, Gov.
Ribicoff, while he was attend
ing the Governors conference
in Chicago earlier this month,
expressed serious doubt that
the Democrats could carry
Connecticut against Mr.. Eisen-
hover should he be the Re-
publican candidate. GOV.
Ribicoff, who was defeated in
a try for the Senate in 1852
when Mr.. Eisenhower headed
the Republican ticket. might
not relish running against an
Eisenhower-Bush ticket next
year. In 1858. however, he
would be serving his last year
as Governor and could then
make a race for Senator
against Republican Senator
Purtell, who comes UP that
year.

Sabbath Laws
John Ihlder.

r. King Burgoyne says in
a letter that "only God can
change his own laws" with re-
spect to Sunday observance.
Who denies that any worldly
government would be sinfully
presumptuous to do so?
1t is not Gods sabbath laws
that need repeating. but those
made and enforced by mere
man. The sinfully presumptu-
Gus ones were those blue-nosed
pre-Revolutionary politicians
who first adopted them. Gods
laws were not enough, they
thought; they had to make
their own as well.

A Poor Time for Boards

In an 1mpromptu survey carried out
at the atoms-fo r-peace conference In
Geneva, an enterprising reporter has dis
covered that many scientists wear boards
only for the most frivolous reasons. Few
and far between are those who do it
seriously, with elaboration, in order to
avoid the tedium Of shaving and to save
time for work in their laboratories. AS
for the rest, some do it just for the fun
Of 1t, or because it's become habit that
they're too lazy to change, or simply
because their wives think they look cute
that way.
Actually, whiskers Of all types have
long since fallen upon evil days. Once
upon time they were mark Of distinc-
ton and sagacity, and the Bible itself has
good things to say about them. Even so,
opposition to them dates back to the long,
long ago. In old Greece, for example,
Lucian Knocked them with biting satire.
He put it this way: IF you think that to
grow beard is to acquire wisdom, a goat
is at once a complete Plato" And as the
centuries passed, and the razor business
became bigger and bigger, more and more
men grew self-conscious and began to
feel that they could not wear facial
bushes without being regarded by the rest
of the world as unhygienic eccentrics. So
today what have we got? We have the
most learned of our scientists and philos-
ophers going around clean-shaven, with
lots of them wearing college-boy crew-cut
heads of hair. In way, all this seems
very sad And 1t seems foolish, too, when
one thinks of these lines from Byron:
Men for their sins
Hare ShGvtno, too, entGiled upon
their chinS,-
A daily plague.
Plaguey though 1t is, however, man
must put up with 1t unless he has the
gumption and f1ber-or wife who prods
him on to do and dare-to grow whiskers
and snap his finger at a staring and
Sinking world ready to ridicule and con-
denim him as an odd one who must have
rocks in the head. Alas, in climate Of
this sort, how can the beard be expected
ever to flourish again?

Prison Rioters

A prison riot IN Nebraska has been
put down because the authorities were
ready and willing to use the force neces-
sary to suppress 1t.
The trouble began when the con-
victs demanded that Warden Joseph
Bovey come to the dining room to confer
with them about releasing two inmates
who had been placed in solitary conflne-
ment after they had refused to work. Mr..
Bovey rejected the demand, saying 1t was
time the warden told the prisoners what
to do instead of letting the prisoners tell
the warden what to do.
More than 200 prisoners responded
with riot, in the course of which fires
were set which destroyed four buildings.
Three convicts, apparently unwilling to
join the riot, were badly beaten.
BY morning all the State police in
southeast Nebraska had been brought in.
Governor Victor Anderson arrived on the
sceaesFand announced that the troopers
were Eoing in with shotguns. The warden
sent Z dozen armed men into the cell
block with orders to shoot any prisoner
who refused to go to his cell. AS 1t hap
pened no one was shot, because the rioters
gave up when the shoot-to-kill order was
issued.
The prospect Of opening fire on riot
ing prisoners is not pretty one. But
neither is the prospect-and 1t is more
than prospect-that the penitentiaries
are going to be taken over, through vio-
lence, by the convicts If the authority
Of the wardens is not going to be main
tanned, by force If necessary, we might
as well stop sending criminals to prison.

GREENWICH, Conn.-Dem-
ocrats In Connecticut are get
ting considerable satisfaction
out of the broadcasting OF
Republican fractional troubles.
due to a report alleged to
have been made by q Survey
team" sent out by the Repub-
lican National Committee.
This report is said to have
recommended a reorganiza-
ton of the G. o. p. setup in
the State, particularly in
Hartford. It also is reported to
have expressed some anxiety
over the situation. with the
1856 elections coming up. The
Hartford Courant published
the fact the report had been
made-with some details. The
Bridgeport Post later said that
the report had recommended a
new State chairman be chosen
to succeed Clarence F. Cap
py" Baldwin, the incumbent.
If the Republican National
Committee is going into the
business Of telling Republicans
in various States who should
and who should not be State
chairman-it's looking for
trouble.
The fact that Republican
National Chairman Leonard
w. Hall has refused to make
public the controversial report
is not calculated to ease the
situation-although Mr.. Hall
denied some of the reported
details.
Bush to Face Voters
Victory in Connecticut next
year is essential to the G. o. P.
if the party is to retain it's
present strength in Congress
or take over control. Senator
Bush, Republican, comes up
for election. So do all six Of
the States members of the
House. The Republicans here
are not too worried. however,
over the reports Of ructions in
the party. In the first place,
Republican factions have war
red for long time. In the sec
ond place. the G. o. p. did
well in the 1854 elections in
Connecticut. They elected five
Of the six members Of the
House, and carried all the
State Offices except Governor.
With President Eisenhower at
the head of the ticket, as the
Republicans hope and believe
he will be, they should do
much better in 1856. In 1852,
Mr.. Eisenhower carried Con-
necticut by 100000 votes, and
Senator Bush was elected with
a 10000 lead over his Dem
ocratic opponent.
Senator Bush, made a target
by some Of the political gos-
sips who hope to unseat him
next year. has made an excel
lent record in >the upper
house. The Republicans, some
Of them. talk about substitute
ing another candidate for Sen
ator Bush. but they are much
in the minority. Senator Bush
seems assured of renomina-
ton. Former Gov. John Lodge
and former Representative
Clare Boothe Luce are both
