BEAUTY

Many men and women think
that a woman that has shapely fea-
lures is the best friend to have.
Beauty on the outside isn't every
thing. There has to be something
inside.
Some people let their outside
beauty be personality, converse
ton, etc.
Beauty in my opinion is the
ability TO control ones emotions.
and also use their charms to an
advantage.
True, beauty always comes from
within.

REDS BEARING TALES

The ancient admonitiOn to beware of
Greeks bearing gifts ought to be kept firm
ly in mind when one considers the spectacle
of the Soviet leadership tearing down the
image Of Joseph Stain. This performance
by Nikita S. Khrushchev and his colleagues is
both fantastic and fascinating Repercus-
siens alreadys have been felt around the
world But it would not be wise for US to
become so intrigued by this feat of idol
smashing that we lost sight OF the point most
essential to US.
That point is the questiOn of the Com
munst leaders motivation.s There is no
doubt at all that Stalin's c3sirnss against hu-
manity were black and manifold. 1t is graft
flying that they are at last being brought to
the attention of the Soviet people. But why :?
Khruschcev and company have not sim
ply been overcome by an urge to tell the
truth. They seek to unburden themselves of
Stalin's treacheries so that the current So
Wet policy can be carried out more freely
But they cannot do that; they are the direct
successors to the dictatorship. They were
deeply involved in its crimes.
If Khrushchev and his comrades in power
really want to convince the world that they
have switched from n3alevoence to goodwill,
they have only to move toward peace in the
Middle East and in other places where they
have thus far been busy with monkey
wrenches. Ii is another case of actions
speaking louder than words.

THE QUIET COMING

There was a late snow. 1t came in mid
March on wind from the northeast. They
watched it out the windows and shrugged
and reflected on natures Indifference to the
plans and desires of men.
In two days the snow had already van
ished from the grass along the west wall
of the house. .Someone, looking out the win
dow. observed that there, where the snow
had been, vas a purple crocus--and there
another, white delicately veined with purple
Tight little spears of color, not open yet to
the sun, but ready for it.
So there it was, as simply as that: The
miraculous coming of life again after the
long death of winter. No fanfare, no pulsing
of drums or sound of silver trumpets, The
still small voice; no more.
1t is something to think about, in the
season of Easter. 1t is something to pom
der, when Christians in their millions over
all the earth are gathering to remember the
golden promise of eternal life. The miracle
Of the. crocus, coming quietly each spring.
strengthens faith and quickens hope.

FROM A LITTLE ACORN

Parcel post came into being at the be-
ginning of 1913 It's a safe bet that few
people Chen had any idea of how greatly this
institution would grow, or of the direction
its development would take.
It was envisaged as a limited service,
handling small parcels, primarily for farm
ers and rural residents not adequately serv-
ed by private carriers. Congress specified
that the service should be self-sustaining,
that it should not unnecessarily compete with
private transportation services, and that it
should supplement and not supersede pgi-
vate carriers.
Parcel post has gone astray from these
intents., During much of its life it has been
run at loss-the accumulated deficit for the
1862 period was in excess of 81 billion.
1t has and does unnecessarily compete with
private carriers, in fields and in areas where
private express service is perfectly adequate.
And it has made it constantly more difficult
for private carriers to stay in business. That
some have is a tribute to their resourceful-
ness and standards of service.
Currently, there are various conflicting
arguments as to the economics of parcel post
and its influence, one way or another on the
post office deficits. But, these aside, it is
clear that basic principles enumerated by
the trainers of the law are still being vio-
lated. Government in business is a bad mat
ter at best.

Under these circumstances there is no
likelihood of repetition of the 1862 sur
prise in this state. Then Senator Kefauyer
astounded the experts by defeating Presi-
dent Truman, who had not entered his name
nor yet withdrawn it. This defeat might
have played part in his later decision not
to run for reelection
Probably the first really significant pri-

THROW IT AWAY

If the mailman brings merchandise which
was not ordered and is not wanted, it need
not be returned. So says an authority on
postal law, Abe McGregor Golf, solicitor of
the post Office department. He told the house
postal committee that the best way to dis
courage this annoyance is to refuse either
to buy or return it. He himself throws all
such stuff in the wastebasket he said.
His statement may bring a flood of
threatening letters from senders demanding
merchandise back, or else. According to
Golf, these people have no '.or else" in the
matter. People who receive unsolicited mer-
chandise should not let themselves be i'm
posed upon.

House Unit Hears Pleas
For Gas Stotion Permit

Controversy broke out today
before the House District Com
Imittee during a hearing on legis-
lation to permit modernization
of a gasoline filling station at
the intersection of Massachusetts,
and Wisconsin avenues NV.
A bill, introduced by Chairman
Mcmillan of the Committee, was
urged strongly by spokesman fol-
the American Oil Co. which owns
the station and by MI. Mcmillan
but was opposed by District Off
lcials and Representative Wier
Democrat of Minnesota.
The measure had been sent to
the House District Committee by
one of it's subcommittee without
recommendation. A similar bill,
which had authorized this same
station and one other in a diff
ferent part of town to be mod
Iernized, had been passed by the
I83d Congress but was vetoed by
President Eisenhower.
Also strongly supporting the
bill at this mornings hearing
was Jerome B. Mckee of the
Georgetown Businessmen's AS
ISOLATION. He made the plea on
behalf of businessmen generally
in Washington, declaring that in
his opinion some policies of the
District Government had been
damaging to small business.
For the oil company, its gen.
eral counsel, James K. Eagan,
told the committee that the fill
ing station had been established
in 1917 before enactment of the
clty'S coming laws. Later regu-
lations, he said, had changed the
whole area there to residential
"A restricted, making the filling
station a so-called non-conform-
ing use of the property.
Over the years the lawyer
said, his company had been I'M

successful in getting permission
from the District Commissioners
and zoning officials to rebuild OF
modernize their plant.
He said that the small triangle
of property is IAN eyesore to the
neighborhood" and the company
is still hoping to tear down the
tin shed which was originally a
building contractors toolshed
and replace it with a modern
building to conform with the
architecture of the neighbour
hood, including the Washington
National Cathedral and st.
Adams School.
District Commissioner Robert
F. Mclaughlin and Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West con-
tended that city officials were
correct in refusing to permit the
rebuilding of the station, since
it was a conforming use
and could not be given a permit
for rebuilding even on a basis
of a variance"
President Eisenhower had
vetoed the bill, declaring that
the previous measure would
"subvert both the purposes of
the coming act and the objec-
tives of the comprehensive plan
for the Nations Capital by
sanctioning the practice of spot
coming"
Commissioner Mclaughlin told
the committee that consultants
were preparing a comprehensive
study of the coming laws and
regulations which they expected
to have ready for the Com
missioners in November. He
offered a copy of the preliminary
report for the use of the COM
mittee. Chairman Mcmillan
expressed the opinion that Con-
gress itself should take a good
look at revising the coming laws.
