The current of news these days is
Uttered with every conceivable kind Of
corruption and depravity. So little
notice should be taken when something
refreshingly different comes bobbing along.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Savannah Georgia, reports that Johnny
Mercer, a Hollywood song writer, has done
a fine thing. Twenty-eight years ago, his
father, now dead, failed in business ven
ture. Some 500 people who had invested
in the enterprise lost 100000. Now Johnny
Mercer (endeavoring to avoid any pub
licity) has put up the money to pay of the
losses which his father, although he tried,
could not make good.
There ought to be very special kind
Of Oscar for people like Johnny.

HIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E.. TRACEWELL

They are just something, or
maybe something's. in a loaf
of bread he purchased re-
Gently.
It was very nice bread, but
Jones is still wondering who
or what Mono Digly Cerides
is or are.
I don't doubt he could find
out, after a fashion, by call
ing the bakery, but he hesi-
tates.
Maybe it is better not to
know.
We are living in a poisoned
world, after all.
A crank, so-called, put out
book about it several years
ago.
A crank is just somebody
whose ideas and theories you
do not like. isn't he?
People who believe in good,
honest food, clean air, clean
water and clean homes are
likely to be called cranks, or
even frauds.
We heard the man who has
done more for organic agri-
culture than any other man
in America called "a fraud"
the other day by one who
knew enough to know better.
Air filled with smog and
dust, water with chlorine and
fluoride. foods with various
chemicals of unknown names.
which the average person has
no way of finding out
These are a few of the ways
in which our very lives are
being poisoned slowly.
1t doesn't happen all at
once, at least it hasn't so far.
We take smoke into our
lungs. and feel immensely
pleased with ourselves. al
though even the elementary
classes in physiology teach, or
at least used to teach, that
nicotine is a very dangerous
poison.
Insect-killing sprays are
used with abandon.

Annuitont Replies

Seymour Schulman, we retired
people are not asking charity,
If we are given an increase in
our pensions. please remember
we have Sc billion we paid into
our retirement fund. We fool
ishly paid into accident in
surance and some hospitaliza-
ton for years and did not col
lect one cent: as soon as we
retired, we were dropped. If
I had my life to go over, /
would not carry such insur-
ance. If I had bought Gov
eminent bonds, ! would have
them today and no one could
take them from me. This in
crease will not increase any
body'S taxes. We are not on
charity; it is our own money.
No wonder the insurance COM
panies are so rich. Don't for
get we received very poor SAL
aries. barely enough to live on,
and we deprived ourselves even
then to help others who were
worse off and not relatives
either. We were not a selfish
people. If the big increases
given high officials will not
beggar this country, our little
increase from our own fund
can do no harm.

Toxpoyer's Lament

Double taxation and no rep
resentation! We citizens of
the District Of Columbia are
fast becoming men without a
country in reality.
Those of us who happen to
work in nearby Maryland feel
that this State is taking I'M
due advantage of us. We are
already being taxed in our
domicile. and rightly so To
be taxed where we live with
out a voice In the matter. we
don't wholly agree to. but we
are nevertheless receptive. We
do believe. however. that to
have a nonresident income
tax on our income earned in
Maryland is wholly unjustified.
Without a voice in either gov
eminent. we are taxed by both!
Maryland residents earning
their income from the same
source in the District are
totally exempt from any Dis
trict tax regulations. We feel
that we have every justifica-
ton in receiving the same
consideration. Any fair-minded
person viii agree. Maryland
residents themselves agree.

Hyde Of Maryland says the

tax is wrong.

No Room for Penitent Democrats?
BY GOULD LINCOLN

tain a right, always held by
the Democratic National Com
mittee, to determine its menu
bership when any challenge is
made. The substitute lam
guage, like the original, gives
assurance against a demand
for a loyalty oath" or pledge.
Mr.. Mitchell's announce
ment he will oppose the seat
ing of Gov. Shivers and others
who supported Mr.. Eisenhower
in 1852 in the convention next
year emphasizes again the
split in the Democratic Party
North against the South. In
effect, Mr.. Mitchell has said:
ITO be a Democrat in the 1856
convention you must not have
supported Else n hower in
1882"
Would Bar Many Democrats
1t sounds all right. But
there will be a lot of Demo-
Gratis, particularly but not ex-
clusively in the South, who
would be barred from member
ship in the 1856 convention.
If this idea should be carried
out, there would be no chance
for "repentant sinners" among
the Democrats, whom Demo-
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler has said would be
welcomed back to the party
fold. Mr.. Shivers and the
Others might very we'll say they
could attend the Democratic
National Convention in the
hope the convention would
pick a presidential candidate
they could support-whether
Mr.. Eisenhower or another was
the Republican presidential
nominee.
Former Gov. Battle of Vir-
GINA, who took leading part
in the 1852 Democratic Ma
tional Convention fight against
the loyalty oath" proposal,
was an important figure in
the advisory committee which
recommended the so-called
compromise. But, like SEN
ator Byrd of Virginia who did
not support Adlai Stevenson in
the 1852 election campaign, Mr..
Battle is not expected to go
along with Mr.. Mitchell in his
proposed punitive expedition
against Gov. Shivers ct al. In
deed, if Mr.. Mitchell persists in
his challenge, the same kind of
fur will fly in an intraparty
battle in 1856 as in 1852
The difficulty, for the Demo-
Gratis, lies in the fact that many
Southern Democrats are as
hostile as ever to some Of the
ideas and policies of Northern
Democrats, New Dealers and
Fair Dealers. The Southerners
will continue to oppose presi-
dental candidates not to their
liking.

Former Democratic National
Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell
has declared Democrats who.
like Gov. Shivers of Texas.
Gov Kennon of Louisiana and
former Gov. Byrnes of South
Carolina, supported President
Eisenhower in the 1852 presi-
Dental race should not be
seated as delegates in the 1856
Democratic National Conven-
ton.
It is a punitive proposition.
It has nothing to do with
loyalty oaths" or lack of such
oaths. 1t is a challenge which
can be made to the seating Of
any of these gentlemen ire
spective of the so-called COM
promise" recommended by a
special advisory committee,
headed by Mr.. Mitchell. at its
recent meeting in Washington.
So, whether the compromise"
proposal is adopted by the
Democratic National Commit !.
tee or not, a challenge to the
seating of Gov. Shivers, or
any other supporter Of Mr..
Eisenhower in 1852. may be
made by Mr.. Mitchell. if he be
a delegate to the 1956fnational
convention, or by any other
delegate who feels as he does.
And apparently Mr.. Mitchell
intends to make such a chal-
lenge. or to see that it is made
by others.
: Language of Compromise
The language of the compro-
mise proposal about which Mr..
Mitchell was questioned and
which brought his statement
that Gov. Shivers and others
would be challenged if they
are sent as delegates to the
national convention next year
is as follows: Resolved, that it
is understood that the dele
gates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, when certi-
fled by the State Democratic
Party, are bona fide Democrats
who have the interests, well
fare and success of the Demo-
cratic Party at heart, and will
participate in the convention
in good faith; and therefore no
additional assurance shall be
required of delegates to the
Democratic National Conven-
ton. in the absence of creden-
tials contest or challenge"
This was substituted for the
following language. by the
advisory committee, after an
afternoons debate: Resolved.
That no commitments shall be
required Of delegates to the
Democratic National Conven-
ton in the absence of creden-
tial contests" The change was

Free Advice on Formoso

Forty-Seven men and women, de-
scribed by the Americans for Democratic
Action as prominent liberals" have Joined
the chorus of volunteer presidential adj
visers on the Formosa situation. In doing
this, they are undoubtedly sincere and are
well within their rights.
1t does not necessarily follow, however,
that they are also being helpful.
Their telegram urges the President to
make clear that the United States will not
commit its forces to the defense of Quemoy
and the Matsus and will not permit them
to become cause of war" They seem to
believe that the President, by doing this,
can "extricate" the United States from
the present menace of war in the Formosa
Strait" It should be noted, however, that
these people also state that 1--WE support
Fundamentally your determination to de-
fend Formosa and the Pescadores against
Communist aggression" The term Com
munist aggression" Is not defined, but pre-
sumably it means any attack on Formosa
or the Pescadores.
If this is correct, it poses consider
able problem. Let us forget, for the mo-
ment, the effect which such an announce
ment as the liberals urge might have on
the morale of the Chinese Nationalist and
on American prestige throughout Asia.
Let us put aside the effect which the writ
ing off Of the coastal islands would have
on our bargaining position when we try
to negotiate with the Reds on the status
Of Formosa We still must face up to the
fact that the Communists have proclaimed
their determination to Hibernate" the coast
al islands and FormoSa, too, and that
Chang Kai-shek has said his troops will
fight to hold their positions, even though
they have to fight alone. In such situa-
ton, what assurance would there be that
the bases and airf1elds on Formosa would
not be attacked by the Reds? If this
should come about, and if we really are
determined to defend Formosa, would we
want to be in the position of having pro-
claimed to the world that we will not be-
come involved in any fight for the coastal
islands?
The implications of such questions
support the belief that the greater wisdom
lies in the flexible policy which the Presi-
dent is trying to pursue. OF course, it, too,
entails risks. But risks cannot be avoided
in any event, and this, furthermore, is the
policy which has been formally adopted,
with the overwhelming support of the
Congress. 1t is highly doubtful that the
best interests of the country are being
served by attempting at this critical time
to pressure the President into adopting
some different policy.

Counting a Veto

If Government employees again fail to
obtain the pay raise which they have
sought so long, they should place the
blame where it properly belongs-on Con-
gress, not President Eisenhower. Congress,
for the second time, has ignored White
House warnings of possible veto of too
liberal pay legislation. And once more the
implied threat of presidential veto has
imperiled the chances of an increased pay
scale for all Federal workers.
The pay bill approved by the House,
by vote split largely along partisan lines,
has the virtue Of being less Objectionable
to the administration than the Senate
approved measure The House bill calls
for an average raise of 8.3 per cent for
postal workers, instead of the maximum
7.6 per cent which the President had
asked. The Senate had voted for 10 per
cent Increase figure certain to be vetoed
If submitted. The House measure Is bet
ter than the Senate version in another
important respect-it provides for read
justment Of postal salaries according to
nature and amount of work performed.
Postal unions have opposed tying the pay
raise and Redistribution together despite
administration insiStence that the two
subjects 60 hand in hand.
Since the President personally has
not stated publicly that any pay raise
higher than 7.6 per cent would be vetoed,
there remains for the employees the hope
that he might accept the House figure,
If 1t should emerge from the Senate-House
conference. But the economy minded ad-
ministration faces the fact that what Is
right for postal workers is right for all
Federal employees. And the House action
would add about $12 million to the cost
Of pay legislation for the postal workers
alone. The President and his advisers have
commended that the Government cannot
afford the cost of general raise higher
than 7.6 per cent. All Of this advice has
been shunted aside under much pressure
from the organized postal workers. If the
President should take strong veto stand,
there is considerable doubt that enough
votes could be marshaled to override it..
Thus, the present outlook for an early pay
raise is clouded with uncertainty, to say
the least.

Believes in UNESCO

1t is very disappointing to
learn that some people still do
not believe in one world COM
munity. If we cannot live in
one peaceful world community.
how are we to live? Weapons
have been developed to such
an extent that the world can
not possibly tolerate any more
wars. We have a choice: Either
we can live in peace in world
community or die. Isolation
ism is a thing of the past. 1t
went out with the horse drawn
carriage.
Associating communism with
UNESCO Is very misleading,
Yes, communism also supports
the idea of one world commu-
nifty. but Communists believe
in uniting the world by force
under an army and led by a
dictator. The allies believe the
world should be united by
peaceful democratic means.
That is the difference.
What if South Africa reject
ed UNESCO? This doesn't call
for cheers; it calls for boos.
What will segregation bring
to South Africa? Friction,
bloodshed and possibly war.
Surely no one can be in favor
of this. The question isn't
whether South Africa had the
legal right to kick out
UNESCO; it is a question of
moral right.
It is very easy to be a flag
waver. 1t takes more to do
some good, straight thinking.
