Washington Letter = BY Robert Nelson Toylor

our readers must be fairly drooling
to hear what it is that restores the
spent editor and reyives his drOop-
ing spirits after the paper is finally
off the press. In fact, we were just
about to part the curtains on our
private life, when Publisher Eaton
K. Koldthwaite, of the Giles Vir-
ginia Leader, from Pearisburg in
southwest Virginia, up and did it
for us.
81 don't know about you," he says
editorially, "but l like to have a
snack of some kind when / come
home from work, especially if it's
late. And like to experiment with
mixtures, putting this and that to-
gether, sometimes coming up with
something extra good, and of
course there are other times which
we will not mention.
"One of the happier combinations
experimental with is cream cheese
and sardines (the fat, meaty ones
from Maine); just mix the Sar-
dimes with cream cheese, spread
on crackers. Or, if you want to be
real fancy, cut squares of thin
bread and give a quick tOasting in
the broiler. John Holland, of
WNRV (another kitchen conniverD
fries them in deep fat, like potato
chips, and they are delicious"
Well, this sort of took the wind
out Of our sails. We wouldn't won
der if Mr.. Goldthwaite is really a
retired chef from the Waldorf, or
somewhere, who is taking it easy
as publisher of a weekly paper.
Anyway, we are going to try this
sardine gimmick, both cold and hot.

I'm Vodka There Is Truth
Congress and the PentagOn are
not laughing at the drunken antics
and denunciations of KhruschcheE
& Co., which have leaked to the
press through closed committee
room doors. To our officials there's
nothing funny about the antics of
men who could plunge the world
into war at midnight and not re-
member anything about it the next
morning.
Urged to report frankly on his
Moscow visit, Air Force Chief OF
Staff. General Twining is much
dismayed that his confidential pic
ture of Soviet gaiety reached the
press-hence the subsequent efforts
to play down the story.
In protecting the nation against
such madmen, however. duty comes
before party manners. And cer-
tainly the American public-who
suffer the consequences-sho
know the truth.

FRUITFUL CHANGE

The 18th anniversary of the attempted as
assination of Adolf Hitler was lately cele-
brated in West Germany. The chief speaker
was DR.. Eugen Gerstenmaier, president of
the lower house of the West German parlia-
ment. Thus what in 1914 was an attempt
that Mortified most Germans is now recog
nized as a patriotic and wholly desirable un-
dertaking.
Notably DR.. GerStenmaier did not try to
shrug off the Nazi crimes as something of
which most Germans knew nothing and for
which they were not responsible. He said in
so many words that the German people must
bear the guilt of the past, and must not ignore
it.
Utterances like those show the change in
the intellectual climate that came in with the
fall of the Nazis and the rise of Chancellor
Adenauer. 1t is a change that bodies well for
the future of Germany and the free world.

THE PRESIDENTS FARM PLAN
The New York Herald Tribune has de-
voted thoughtful and sympathetic editorial
to the farm problem. The basic trouble, it
points out, is that increased farm produc-
tivity has been accompanied by a declining
market. During and after the war we fed
much of the world and, rightfully, farmers
were given every incentive to expand acre
age. But these incentives-of which the big
geSC was HlgH IlXeQ price SuppOfIS-Wofe
continued after world conditions had greatly
changed. The inevitable result was eEo1
nous and incredibly costly surpluses.
Then the Herald Tribune considers the
Presidents new farm plan, with particular
emphasis on its principal element-the soil
bank. Under this concept, acreage would be
withdrawn from all production and the far
mer, in return, would receive cash or it's
equivalent in grain now held by the govern
ment. At the same time there would be a
long range conservation project to put marg-
inal land into forest or grassland that would
retain water and reduce erosion. The paper
said: president Eisenhower's program
constitutes constructive answers to the most
pressing economic problem facing the coun-
try His proposals are far better for the
farmer and the country than mere return
to fixed parity prices which would only en-
courage greater surpluses at greater cost
to the nation in payments and in storage ex-
pense. Land will net be diverted from one
surplus crop to another, or to grazing, which
would add to the livestock raiser's woes.'
Finally, the Eerld Tribune made point
with which all should agree when it said +:
"The farm problem must not become exclu-
sively the political football of an election
year. 1t is national issue, demanding, with
in the limits of reasonable controversy, the
judicious consideration of both Republican
and the Democratic parties as well as of all
sections of the country"

SALUTE TO YOUTH

This week in Detroit a ceremony
took place that holds great assur-
ance for all who look anxiously
toward Americas future.
1t was the annual Fisher Body
Craftsman's Guild Award Banquet
at which eighteen American boys
received university scholarships for
outstanding talent and ability.
Each year the Craftsman's Guild
invites boys to hitch their dreams
to a man-sized project and thereby
win recognition for their perse-
verance and industry.
Thousands of boys from every
state enroll in the Guild program
each year. Approximately 100000
have participated since 1880. Sew
eral hundred win cash awards in
each years competition and are
thereby encouraged to keep trying
for one of the major awards.
This is a serious program be-
cause America needs young men
with skill and ambition and know
how. All of Americas fine, new
plants and shining, new equipment
are only tools. They need the right
hands and brains to use them.
America finds itself in a race
with the u. S. S. r. for continuing
chronological supremacy. We are
in a merciless struggle for surviv-
al, freedom against RECOMMENDATION,
self-discipline against coercion.
America is being challenged from
an theological and chronological
point of view as well as from a
military one.
1t would seem that our choice is
clear. We can either encourage the
learning of science and engineer
ing-or Russian.
In the years ahead it is from in
centive programs. such as the
Craftsman's Guild competition, that
industry must get devoted crafts
men who are ready to dedicate
their lives to the building of an
ever-stronger, happier America.

That was no guess. That was
q sure thing" Miss Brash replied
She was right. and this hand
is 6 good illustration of how
counting a hand can eliminate
guesswork.
First let me say that Miss
Brash's four-spade bid is not
recommended. And ! might add
that my recommendations
anybody's-makeS absolutely nc
impression on Miss Brash.
Her problem in today's deal
was to determine whether or not
Mr.. Dale had the lone jack OF
clubs. This she solved neatly and
scientifically.
Mr.. Dale won the first trick
with the king Of hearts and Mr..
Abel started an echo with the
nine. The ace of hearts followed
and Mr.. Abel played the four.
Mr.. Dale's third heart lead was
not another honor but the trey,
and the purpose of this was to try
and suggest to Mr.. Abel to ruff
as high as he could. Mr.. Abel
co-operated by ruffing with the
queen of spades.
Miss Brash had a countermove
for this. She suspected that If
she overruffed that action would
promote an eventual trump win
ner for Mr.. Dale. So she merely
discarded the five of diamonds.
Mr.. Abel returned the queen of
diamonds and Miss Brash won
with the ace. Now she laid down
her four top trumps, discarding
two clubs from the dummy.
Next she cashed the ace of
clubs and saw the jack drop on
her left. She could now play the
king of clubs hoping to drop the
queen or she could go to dummy,
return a club and flnesse the 10.
She didn't have to guess about
which way to 60. All she had to
do was to lead a diamond to
dummy's king and that gave her
the answer.
Mr.. Abel had started with two
hearts. so Mr.. Dale had six. Mr..
Dale had started with four spades.
That left him with only three
cards in the minor suits. He had
followed to one club lead. And
when he showed up with second
diamond he simply couldn't have
any more clubs unless it was a
faulty deck.
Miss Brash led a club from the
board and finessed the ten with
complete confidence. This is what
Mr. New called a guess" but If
you use this particular kind of
guesSwork you will never lose q
finesse again.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 81
Because of the Terps' misfor-
tunes, today's Maryland Tennes-

appeal that was anticipated
when it was scheduled several
years ago. but there's still
enough at stake to draw the Vols
biggest home crowd Of the season.
Tennessee is No. 4 in the AS

tons of climbing higher. The
Vols also are seeking f1rst-team

Also, the years have not erased

For Maryland, some face
saving is at stake. Of to their
poorest start since 1916. the
Terps still are badly crippled as
they face one Of their toughest
