Jones says. yielding not more
than 20 grams.
Our old friend says the mod
ern reducing diet should have
from so to rs grams of protein
a day, or even more.
One mana medical doctor
even has a system based on
practically all protein. This
would be going a bit far, Jones
believes.
The battle of the reducing
diets is ON, with the fat Ameri-
can taking a part in it for the
good or his heart. his blood
vessels, and his immortal soul.
Templeton Jones advice is:
Before you take sides in
the battle, investigate it
thoroughly. Read all you can
about it, and consult people
who have tried it. especially
your doctor, if you can find
one of those fat raScals who
has ever taken his own medi-
cine.
The originatorS of the revo-
lutionary diet discussed have
sent a communication to the
Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association for June 80,
stating in part: In our opin-
ion, the magazine articles
failed to give sufficient warn
ing of the potential hazards of
low protein diets if not con-
tinuouSly supervised by a ply
sician, The amount of protein
provided in both our low-pro-
TEN diets is near the minimum
for a healthy adult and any
risk of serious liver damage.
In an article in New York
Medicine for July 5 it is stated
that the 1900 calory reducing
diet should include, for the
male, 70 to 80 grams of pro-
tein; for the female reducer.
between so and 70 grams. One
expert stated: II do not think
you should ever cut the pro-
TEN in the diet lower than

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Democrats Hopes Dashed Aquin

HYANNIS, Mass, July IA
The dust finally has been laid
on the suggestion there will
be any change in the Republic
can 1856 national ticket. It's
Eisenhower and Nixon-juSt
as it was in 1852. The Demo-
Gratis, as well as all the rest
of the country, are on notice.
Twice the hopes Of the Demo-
Gratis rose that Eisenhower,
the Republican who swept the
country four years ago, would
not be the COP. candidate.
and twice these hopes were
dashed.
Because Of the Presidents
two illnesses, the Democrats
maintain he will be easier to
defeat this time. They add
that Nixon's denomination also
will take votes away from the
Republican ticket. The Presi-
dent, however, has said he
feels as well as EVERGREEN
better than before his recent
abdominal operation. And the
country is inclined to believe
Eisenhower. Also, great num-
bers of people want to believe
him.
Nixon Answered Charges
The talk of Eisenhower's
being handicapped by Nixon's
presence on the ticket has
been inspired by Democrats
who dislike Nixon intensely.
1t was Nixon, as a member of
the House Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee, who brought
to light the evidence which
finally convicted Alger Hiss.
1t has made him anathema to
some of the Democrats. 1t
was Nixon who, in his cam
paigns against the Democrats.
has charged over and over
again they were stupid in their
appraisal of and dealings with
the Communists. Their leaders
have charged he called the
De ocratS reasonable" .
Search his speeches as they
will, they have never been able
to prove this charge. So they
now claim that his criticisms
can be construed as meaning
they were traitorous. Yet the
Vice President on several occa-
sionS specifically said he did
not charge the Democrats with
being traitors.
Early this year. the Demo-
Gratis indicated they would
make their campaign against
Nixon = after the Presidents
heart attack, or rather because
of it.
They will find, however, that
they are running against
Eisenhower. a President who
has won the confidence of
the great mass of Americans.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-14

Further. the people like Eisen-
hower-and the most difficult
candidate to defeat is one who
is liked. AS for Nixon, he. has
made an excellent record in
the many tasks assigned him
by the President, both at home
and abroad. In addition, the
Vice President is a hard
driving campaigner. When he
takes to the stump, as he will,
he will be free to answer the
charges and the innuendoes
which have been made against
him.
Mary Change Views
Those Republicans who were
made fearful by the Demo-
cratic charge brought against
Nixon-and there were a num-
Der Of them-have caught
their second wind. They have
come to realize that dumping
Nixon would be more harmful
to the Republican chances. It
would have been tantamount
to saying they did not expect
the President to last through
a second term in the White
House. They know, too. that
Nixon. by reason of his many
assignm n is abroad, is
thoroughly cognizant of the
problems of foreign policy,
and that he has been kept in
close touch with the needs of
national defense. and with
the domestic issues.
In his campaigning through
the country. in 1852 and in
1854. Nixon won many friends.
1t has been evident for months
that the Vice President has
the support of Republican
leaders throughout the 48
States. If the decision were
left to them, it would be the
same as that of the President
that Nixon was acceptable
for denomination. At one time
it was suggested in some quar-
tiers that a fight against the
denomination of Nixon would
be launched when the Republic
can National Convention
meets in San Francisco
August 20. With the Presi-
dents sign of approval, all
chance of such a row seems
to have disappeared.
Republican National Chair
man Leonard w. Hall stands
today as a political prophet
without equal. Not long after
President EiSenhower'S heart
attack. September "a, 1855,
Chairman Hall declared his
belief that Eisenhower would
run "if he is able" time
when many believed that
Eisenhower would step aside.
He has never deviated from
that prediction.

Having mulled over the matter for
some weeks, Prime Minister Sir Anthony

1t is reply that agrees completely with
what our own country and the West in

Hiqher Postage

When was a boy, the first
class mail rate was 3 cents.
When our postal system be-
came more efficient, it
dropped to 2 cents. and SO re-
manned until the advent of the
New Deal when it went to 3
cents and so continued through
the Fair Deal era. Then came
the present administration
proposal to raise it to 4 cents
higher than it has been
since World War II.
One Washington paper has
suggested editorially that OPP
ponents of postal rate increase
will make fearful claims that
mildly higher mail charges will
hurt the little fellow" That
is exactly what will happen in
the case of first-class mail,
even if a Accent rate can be
called mildly higher The
Star mentioned estimates that
a raise Of ordinary first-class
mail rates from 3 to a cents
would bring in an additional

Man With q Plan

There has been much ado
recently about cleaning up the
Potomac. This is certainly a
worthwhile project. but it is
makeshift and does not pro-
vide for any long range main
tenance of the river. If the
river dies, so does this city.
At present. there are con-
Siderations which would per-
NIT the restoration of the An
acoStia to be a trial run on
the feasibility of restoring
other rivers.
The AnacoStia is the worlds
most polluted river, an ever
narrowing sewer. Its restora-
ton would be of incalculable
value to the city and Mary
land. Once ocean-going vessels
sailed up the Anacostia, and
Bladensburg was a busy port.
The Federal Government or
District Government owns ali
the land except that of PEPCO
on the Anacostia side of the
river. and a good deal on the
city side. This would elm
mate the cost of acquisition Of
land. A new highway is
under construction or prof.
ected from the Washington
Baltimore Parkway to Jones
Point running parallel to the
Anacostia. These positive con-
Siderations plus the wretched
conditions that now prevail
would justify the expense en-
tailed in giving Washington
and nearby Maryland a good,
clean. big river.
The flooding of the COM
munities in Maryland can only
be dealt with in full measures
and not half measures. When
it rains. the water will drain
to the old river bottom, even
if a city has been built there.
and restoration of the river
bed is essential. The uneco-
nomical use of District OF CO.
lumbia water in nearby Mary
land, coupled with a growing
demand and a decreasing
supply would warrant a good
look at this plan. The value
of public and residential use
OF the river is enormous.

Station. widen the Potomac

Art Doesn'tPoy

A recent report by The
Stars art critic, Miss Florence
Bergman, on a good year for
art auctions, is a sad COM
mentary on buying habits OF
American collectors.
Such habits may be partly
responsible for the intellec-
tual's support of socialist
theories and governments. We
note that Van Gogh's "Bou-
quet of Flowers" was sold for
$4,000. 1t is significant that
Van Gogh could not make a
living at art. but upon his
death, collectors, like vultures,
began mad scramble to ped
die the work of this excellent
artist for fabulous prices.
The average pay in this area
for professional artists is
seldom over three dollars an
hour. although the artist may
have spent from three to six
years in apprenticeship or
study. The artist who sells a
portrait for several hundred
dollars or a drawing for
twenty, is fortunate. Most
artists receive less, many sell
nothing and must depend
upon hack work with Govern
ment agencies, teaching jobs,
commercial assignments. or in
come from non artistic.
sources.
The oil burner repairman
thinks nothing of charging
five dollars for five minutes
work. The same is true of the
plumber, carpenter. bricklayer
or rock-and-roll crooner. The
public pays without protest,
but let an artist ask for a
living wage and there is a
great howl about the luxury of
contemporary art. The same
ones who object to paying a
fair price to Eving artists do
not hesitate when it comes to
buying shoddy but expensive
art reproduction" in a frame
that must have been designed
by the architect of a mid
way for a country fair.

This particular diet, which
runs counter to everything dis
covered and taught by scien-

allows protein but once a day.
Most modern reducing diets

and milk at least twice a day,
and often three times.

If we, through lack of
