P1rt-time Senator?

Senator kefauver, in New
York on october Is, in his at
tempts to tell Of the increase
in prices of some commodities,
became almost incoherent with
mathematics and substituted
points on consumer price in
dex for actual percentage
terms to make the situation
appear much worse than it
really. is.
Mr.. Kefauver grossly dis
torted President Eisenhower's
position on farm price sup
ports. He made it appear that
Mr.. Eisenhower had pledged
100 per cent of parity price
supports and then left the i'm
plication that the 80 per cent
flexible supports, which did
not take effect until last year,
were responsible for price de-
clines which started back I'M
der the Truman adminiStra-
ton.
The vice presidential candi-
date declared that there has
been more corruption in Gov
eminent agencies under the
Eisenhower admin ration
than at any time since the
Republican administration of
Gen. Grant.
Now that we've made some
comment on Mr.. Kefauver's
abuse Of others, we'd like to
mention an interesting fact
about the man himself. At the
last session Of Congress, the
absentee voting record of SEN
ator Kefauver was not Just
among the worst in the Senate.
His was the worst. The Sena-
tor missed SO of 1856 roll-call
votes on important legislation
before his country. This makes
him a 1926 per cent Senator,
a record which we don't believe
has added much to his stature.
We wonder If his constituents
aren't. perhaps. thinking along
the same line. We're glad, in
deed, that our home State
pennsylvania is represented
in the United States Senate by
two men who are much more
devoted to their jobs. one of
whom, Republican Senator
Edward Martin, was present
to vote on every single bill Of
the entire session.

Commentator

! want you to know how
much l appreciate the efforts
manifested by The Evening
Star to bring to the attention
of the community the 50th
anniversary of the District of
Columbia Village. This excel
lent coverage, both in advance
as well as on the occasion of
the opening ceremony, was a
source of inspiration to the
staff.
Many Of the areas which
public welfare mas been able
to advance in this community
are the direct result of the
positive and consistent inter-
probation which has been given
to our community by the mem
bers of your newspaper.

For 20 years I have worked
hard for the Democratic Party
and have always voted the
straight Democratic ticket.
But after listening to and
reading Stevenson's and Ke-
fauver's speeches. I will cast
my vote for President Eisen-
hover. Their talks have been
a big disappointment. and the
more they talk the more they
help to bring votes for Presi-
dent Eisenhower. Here in the
Bethesda area, I know so or
more who are now registered
Democrats, but who are going
to vote for President Eisen-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

shire avenue Just above Du-
pont Circle, he was enthusi-
astic as only a great artist can
be.
The Green City, he called 1t.
Too often today we tend to
forget the history of our city,
cut out of a wilderness, Rugged
by the river and the creek,
made on a series of plateaus
left by the ice age.
The original trees, most Of
them. had to go, but over the
years some very good planting
planning put wonderful trees
back again. so that 20 years
after the Civil War, we had
trees, trees, trees.

Only God can make q tree,
but men behind desks can
have them cut down, 1t is
equally true.
The motor god. as some have
called 1t. needs wider and wider
streets, and still he devours
his yearly quota Of thousands
killed and hundreds Of thou
sands. even millions, wounded.
Nobody would say that traf-
fic shall not go on.
You bet it shall go on
But we enter a plea for COM
mon sense and restraint, as
well as planning.
Every home owner will hope
that where there are trees,
planners at least will think
twice before they chop.
"Woodman, spare that tree"
So went the old slogan.
Let us amend it to read:

NEWARK, N. president
Eisenhower this week is max
ing a bid for the electoral
votes of the four States of the
solid South which he carried
in 1852. If he succeeds, he
will accomplish what no other
Republican candidate for
President has done since re-
construction days.
In fact, none of these States
has gone Republican in preSi-
dental elections with the fol-
lowing exceptions: In 1920.
Harding carried Tennessee; in
1928, Hoover carried Florida,
North Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia; in 1852,
Eisenhower carried Florida,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
No Republican presidential
candidate has carried any of
these States twice in success
sion.
If the President wins in any
of the Southern States, it will
be because he is Eisenhower
not because he is a Republican,
although Republicans and their
organizations have been
gathering more strength in
some of them. They have had
to start almost from scratch.
The Presidents victory, if
he has any in the South, will
be due also to the fact that
the Democratic national ticket
--Adlai Stevenson and Estes
Kefauver-is not popular. In
fact. if it had not been for the
decision of the United States
Supreme Court outlawing seq
regation in public schools,
Eisenhower might easily have
carried not only the four
Southern States he is now
bidding for, but others.
Southern Democrats are
conservative, and they are for
the most part violently OPP
posed to the stand which Ste
venson and Kefauver have
taken on the civil rights issue.
Democratic Outlook Altered
When the Democratic Ma
tional Convention closed in
Chicago last August, the Ste
venson campaign managers
reached a conclusion that the
solid South-eleven States
with 1913 electoral votes all
told-was in the bag for their
presidential candidate. The
party leaders in none of those
States had walked out or
made any dire threats. 1t
would be different this year.
This rosy picture has been
somewhat modified in recent
weeks. 1t may be that Steven
son will carry all these States.
1t does not now appear it will
be pushover. The Democrats
and independents in the South
who supported the President in
1952-the rank and file-have
not decided to lie down and be
good. So true is this that in
Florida today some of the most
astute political observers say
Eisenhower will again take
that States 10 electoral votes.
While this is vigorously dis
puted by Democratic leaders.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-30

by his company not by the Government.
All of which points to a pertinent
question: Why not leave the families of
the candidates out of the political mud
singing unless and until there is tangible
evidence to implicate them III wrongful
conduct?

One Of the great banes Of
modern life, some people would
say, is the highly placed and
paid public servant who sits
behind a mahogany desk and
thinks up things to do to you.
And you, of course. to pay
for them.
Is is all so delightfully."- easy
and ego-boasting.
Somebody is always cook
ing up schemes to widen
streets, for instance.
There is a plan to widen
Brookeville road, Chevy Chase.
Nd, and Arlington road. Be-
thesda.
Beautiful old trees must go,
because the plan calls for 1t.
Too bad about the trees, but
they can't be allowed to stand
In the way of progress.
4 4
Too often this progress
means more cars along your
formerly quiet residential
street.
1t may mean putting in a
40 foot road where there was
an 18-foot one before and
plenty wide enough. everybody
thinks except the man behind
the glass topped desk.
1t is the same here as with
swimming pools.
The people who live a mile
away don't mind at all a fine
new pool in your neighborhood.
Not in the least.
Sure, they don't mind COM
ing a mile, with their cars and
laughter and screams of de-
light.
Just so it isn't in their
neighborhood!
Street widenings and curb
and gutter layings almost al
ways mean the loss of beauti-
full trees.
Water naples are water
naples. We will plant some
more. and If you aren't dead
in 20 years, there will be trees
again. Maybe.
So why kick?

anyway.
That is the beauty OF being
behind one Of those planner
desks.
You plan. and they kick in.
Beautifully simple, and in
the meantime. progress is
being served.

often TO be a modern Moloch,
that. too, is just too bad.

PITTSBURGH. April 16. - A
message suggesting the Christian
approach to numerous problems
created by our current economy
of abundance" was approved by
the third national Study Con-
ference on the Church and Eco
nomic Life yesterday.
The document. unanimously
adopted by the more than 40C

and church leaders after foul
intensive days of study and de.

churches for study.

One of the major problems the
conference discussed in detail
related to the fact many people
still are poverty-stricken annie

The message pointed out tina
despite the current abundance

nearly enough to sustain a lif,
of health and hope"

tween the recipient and the
giver."
But it would be more far
reaching" and would establish
better relations if peoples over
seas are taught to help them
selves by sharing with them our
knowledge, techniques, methods
and creative spirit" the docu-
ment added.
2. War and Expenditures.
Pointing out that national arma-
ment "can never bring any per-
manent peace" but can only buy
time ''in which to wage peace by
Christian methods" the state
ment said reduction in military
expenditures should take place
only when "it is consistent with
the safety of the free world"
The message reminded the Ma
ton that military expenditures
should never be considered "a
necessary prop to our economy
and should be reduced when it is
safe to do so. When this occurs
the money could be used for
such improvement programs as
slum clearance, redevelopment OF
blighted areas, and building OF
hospitals.

the Christian conscience is dis
Iturbed by the neglect of oul
children's future and welfare

pay for the teachers, both Of
which we so desperately need"

some groups of wage-earners
and members of recent immi-
grants and newcomers to our
country. Moreover, discrimina-
ton and segregation practices
against minority races deprives
many Of their members Of the
chance to earn a fair share of
the fruits of this new age or to
contribute in their full measure
to the Nations welfare"
Every barrier to such oppor-
tunity for these people must be
broken down-whether it be
racial discrimination, economic
injustice or exploitation, lack OF
educational opportunity, segre-
cation in the school. or mad
equate development of social
institutions which help people
to help themselves" the docu-
ment declared.
Position on Other Issues
Other issues developed in the
statement:
l. Foreign Aid. Insisting that
Christian people living in 8
prosperous country cannot rest
easily while others starve, the
statement urged our country "tc
exert every effort within its
power to relieve want wherever
it exists"
Where stark suffering or dis.
aster' exists, this aid might bt
direct. But, it emphasized, the
giving should be done with nj
expectation of return, no politi.
cal strings on the gift, and with
mutual respect and regard be.

human welfare rather than those
which are useless or harmful to
mankind.
5. Conformity. An age of
abundance tends to make man
"uncritical" and to conform with
things as they are,s the state
ment pointed out. This tendency
must be resisted, it added, and
Christians should follow st.
Paul's call and mot be con-
formed to this world but be
transformed by the renewal OF
your mind"
Cites Power of Justice
Representative Hays. Demo-
crat of Arkansas. told the dele
gates that as a legislator Il am
concerned about the social ex-
preston (of faith being rooted
in justice. From justice comes
national and moral unity that
is consistent with a peaceful
world"
Injustice divides people and
some of our conflicts. although
not all. are due to the denial of
I perfect justice" Mr.. Hays
asserted. There are intersec-
tional, interracial and interna-
tional conflicts that must be re-
solved. not on the basis of
power, but on the Christian
principle of justice. AS we try to
resolve conflicts on the basis
of Christian love and justice,
even the Iron Curtain can be
pierced through brotherhood"
