Stevenson-although the Governors most
violent denunciation of this philosophy
followed Mr.. Stevenson's approving use
of the term in a speech last November.
In any case, Mr.. Hartman is clearly chal-
longing the Southern wing Of his party
in his mo compromise" position on New
Deal-Fair Deal policies in general and
the civil rights issue in particular. The
question arises, then, whether this is a
'rule or ruin" challenge by which the
so-called liberal Democratic faction, for
which Mr.. Hartman now is leading
spokesman, is willing to write off the
South in gamble for labor and Negro
votes elsewhere.
Mr.. Hartman apparently is ready to
take this chance. If Mr.. Stevenson fails
to win an early nomination, the New
Yorker may become the favored candi-
date. On the basis of his avowed position
today, there appears to be little room in
his ranks for either the leadership or the
rank and file of the Democratic Party
in the South. In such case, a historic
turning point in American politics-or at
least in the Democratic Party-may be
approaching.

Thrill Pills

House passage of the District mar
cotics control bill ought to accelerate
Senate action on this important legisla-
ton. The local measure is needed to
supplement national drug control laws,
including those proposed under bills
pending before Congress.
The District bill not only would
strengthen law enforcement in the mar
cotics field but, for the first time, would
extend police jurisdiction to cover bar
biturates and amphetamines-the sleep
and thrill" pills now outside the drug
control laws. A Senate committee heard
testimony as to the perilS of both kinds
of these pills. There is no law at present
making it illegal to peddle such drugs.
The proposed legislation would remedy
this defect and, in addition, require local
pharmacists to keep accurate records of
all sales. Such safeguards are in the
public interest.

Inteqrotion Menace

Several letters have been
written to The Star in praise
and support of the petition for
desegregation of Arlington
schools. The writer's are of the
opinion that to be integrated
is to be democratic and equal.
The Constitution was not
created to establish and sup
port the theory of race ANAL
gamation. Freedom of choice
and belief is the very essence
and heart of democracy.
Andrew jackson said, dis
tinctions in society will always
exist under every just govern
ment."
Uninhibited indignation is a
menace. not only to racial be-
liefs but to every belief of de-
mocracy. If we cannot have
definition and standards in
race, it will naturally follow
that all other democratic be-
liefs will lose their identity,
standards and differences.
1t is humanity impossible to
have forced amalgamation Of
the races without such a policy
interfering and clashing with
democratic beliefs other than
racial. The composite aspect
of democratic beliefs is and
will continue to be the natural
foe of forced indignation.

Mr.. Horrimon's ChoIIenoe

Averell Hartman has made it clear
that his campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination will not be
marred by either moderation or modesty.
Shedding the last remnant of public re-
luctance, the New York Governor an
nounced Saturday night that he will go
to the party's national convention as
candidate lighting for :. the liberal
principles of Franklin Roosevelt and
Harry Truman" There will be no COM
promise, he added, in what sounded like
a promise of showdown fight on both
the nomination and on the party plat
form. On Sunday he explained to
Nationwide television audience that his
own understanding of the International
situation and of the needs Of the domestic
economy makes him the strongest candi-
date the Democrats could nominate
At the moment, Mr.. Hartman is
fighting political war on two fronts
one against other Democratic aspirants,
against the Republican Party. His role in
the second will become relatively minor,
of course, unless he wins the first, and
his strategy in the intraparty struggle
consequently is of more immediate in
terest. Perhaps mindful Of the personal
bitterness created in the final Stevenson
Kefauver primary fights, Mr.. Hartman
took pains to describe both as fine men,"
He claimed, also, that his past criticism
of moderation was aimed. at the Eisen-
hover administration rather than at Mr..

Jumping the Gun on Zoninq

IL mas Deen evident from the outset
that the Lewis report on coming, because
OF its sweeping and drastic recommends
lions, would encounter strong opposition
from many quarters. But we think the
organized attack on the tentative plan
by real estate, trade and other interests
is rather premature. Promoters of the
mobilization seem to have overlooked the
fact that the proposed new regulations
are to be explained to the public at a
series of open meetings starting next
Monday To launch a drive to kill the
proposals before their sponsors have had
chance to explain them and answer
questions about them is to make any
objective examination unnecessarily diff
f1cult.
There are lot of questions that will
have to be answered satisfactorily, of
course, before any such revolutionary
overhaul of District coming regulations
can be adopted. The impact of the sug-
geSted changes with respect to land use,
building capacity, parking facilities and
the like would be felt in virtually every
part of Washington and by nearly every
property owner But Harold Lewis and
his staff have realized that their tenta-
tive draft would not be accepted without
debate, and they themselves anticipate
substantial revision. They deliberately
labeled the regulations as tentative" and
requested an opportunity to present them
In detail to each community affected and
to clarity them in public question and
answer forums. It may develop that the
new coming concepts are far too drastic
and that the sound proposals will be lost
In the shuttle. But the consultantS are
surely entitled to their day in court before
the public-whose interests coming is sup
posed to protect-reacheS verdict.
This series of sectional meetings does
not constitute public hearing of the sort
that must take place before any new
coming code can be adopted. That hearing
will be held by the Zoning Commission
later. The six-month period before the
hearing and the hearing itself will pro-
vide ample opportunity for any formal
attacks on the code, whether by organized
groups or individuals. Meanwhile, the
authorities who drew up the proposed
regulations ought to be given full OPP
portunity to explain them to the citizens
at large.

Ours is really small world, smaller
even than previously imagined. In fact,
according to scientific paper submitted
to the American Geophysical Union, its
radius at the Equator is only S,963.26
miles, which makes its equatorial cir
conference half mile shorter than the
heretofore accepted estimate of 24,902.39
miles.
This is news that may be of interest
to somebody planning to circumnavigate
the globe, and it may have significance
for people working on guided missiles and
man-made moons. But the average lay
man is not likely to be excited by 1t.
After all, for many a year now, he has
been reading and hearing about how the
earth has been shrinking up. In the era
of sailing boats and the horse and buggy,
it seemed tremendously huge. But today,
compared to what 1t used to be, it is as
of the size of pea to the size of the
largest pumpkin. Inventions like the
steamship, the automobile, the airplane
and the radio are responsible for that.
They have annihilated time and space,
and so our world has become relatively
little thing-like a small real-eState de-
velopment whose inhabitants are thrown
together for good or i'll and can hardly
escape each other, no matter how high
they build their backyard fences.
In short, although as wonderful as
ever, our world is not nearly so big or
wide as the song says. There are no
islands any more, no faraway places.
Everything and everybody are close to
everything and everybody else. And what
could be as futile as for man to wish
that the Russias or the Red Chinas would
Just go away and stop bothering him?
No dreamer dreams more idly than, the
isolationiSt. In its own way, the news
about our shorter Equator serves us oil
as a reminder of that.

Sizes Up Critics

When Gino SINH writes
that there is but one modern
critic of music in the District,
and that one is Day Thorpe,
and further implies that Mr..
Thorpe is perhaps the best of
the local critics, this is strictly
Mr.. Simi's own opinion and
is not shared by all of your
readers.
Mr.. SINH, in order to praise
Mr.. Thorpe, depreciateS Mo-
Fart, Beethoven, Bach and
Brahms as "alien and an
Gent" He is indeed a kindred
soul, for Mr.. Thorpe has also
deprecated Brahms on several
occasions.
Speaking of boredom. what
worse is there than the spec
tacle of present-day critics of
unknown stature taking pot
shots at the artistic giants of
yesterday? These fellows may
be right at home with Ives,
Harris. COPELAND and Piston, or
even with such importations
as Shostakovich or Prokofief,
but for a decent review of a
concert which includes music
written before 1925, I'll take
Lowens or Hume any day.

Knock for the Postmon

Why are more dogs biting
more mailmen these days? I
would like to answer this ques-
ton with a question: What
happened to the friendly mail
man who had about eight or
ten admirers-all dogs-fol-
lowing him on his route?
Let me explain it this way.
We bought a pup about two
years ago - a very friendly
breed. She loved everyone until
one day a mailman showed
his authority and power by
throwing stone at her. You
know the rest of the story.
Since then she had no use for
the mailman'S uniform and
protected her property with a
noisy bark. The milkman man
aged to come and go, and so
did the garbage man. The most
surprising thing of all was
that all the statesmen were
welcomed by this "ferocious
dog"
While the papers are on the
subject of mailmen. the ques-
ton should be raised as to why
they walk across lawns and do
not use sidewalks? Perhaps
the family dog appreciates the
time and effort spent on those
lawns and does not approve of
their beaten paths.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Many Foctors Against Horimon
By GOULD LINCOLN

ton as Governor Of New York,
include the dislike Of many
Democrats to renominate q
defeated candidate-Steven
son. Hartman. at least, is
something new. Further, he
was elected Governor of New
York after a discouraging
early start, when few people
gave him a good chance. Also,
he has put himself forward as
a strongly liberal, pro-New
Deal-Fair Deal candidate.
This in contrast to the more
moderate position taken by
Stevenson. Hartman has
some strength for the nomina-
ton among Democratic leaders
Of the Western States. where
the Hartman railroads have
played part in the develop
ment of the country.
And finally, Hartman is a
wealthy man-if nominated
and elected, the richest Presi-
dent in history. This does not
mean he will finance the
Democratic presidential race.
but it means that he is likely to
draw into the treasury of the
Democratic National Commit
tee money which it now sadly
lacks.
Hartman Bid Not New
The Hartman bid for the
presidential nomination is
nothing new. 1t merely has
come more to the surface. If it
succeeds, it will be a result of
clever manipulation, ending in
a decision by enough of the
party bosses to put Hartman
across. 1t will not be a COM
promise nomination, as was
that of the late John w. Davis
in 1924, when the Democrats
had to take 103 ballots to end
the h-McAdoo rivalry.
In some measure, it will
resemble the nomination of
Stevenson in 1952-although
Stevenson at that time was a
reluctant candidate and Har-
riman is just the opposite.
The Democratic Party at
present is badly divided be-
tween its radical and more
conservative wings, and geo.
graphically between its North
ern and Southern wings. It's
committee on arrangements
for the national convention,
meeting in Chicago on Tues
day for the purpose of naming
a keynote speaker, postponed
action, presumably because of
differences.
1 nr e e Democrats whose
names have been mentioned
prominently for the job
Senators Humphrey of Min
nesota and Kennedy Of Mas
Sachusetts and Gov. Clement
of Tennessee all have been
in the Stevenson camp.
Instead Democratic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler an
nounced that Stevenson, Ke-
fauver and Hartman have
been invited to a conference
here June 81 on plans for the
convention. That will be some
thing to watch.

Avoiding Delinquency

According to The Star, a new
investigation of juvenile de-
linquency in Washington is
forthcoming. Now that my
children are college age, I am
somewhat removed from the
rock and roll" crowd. Re-
Gently, however, I learned of
an activity in Arlington, Va,
which Isl most encouraging to
those of us who want to see
juvenile delinquency COM
batted in a positive way. While
much is being done for boys,
the activity in Arlington is
devoted to the distaff side.
I refer to the Arlington Rec
reation Departments "Pigtail
League" for girls from 9 to IL.
This is an organization of 10
Softball teams, each sponsored
by a local merchant or club
group. and trained and man.
aged by Arlington parents who
are spending much time and
energy with the "Pigtailers."
I watched two teams play one
night. One is managed by an
ex-Washington Star reporter.
the other by an Army colonel.
Those youngsters in dungarees
and T-shirtS striving to win
the game make a picture I wish
could be seen by those who
emphasize the delinquency as
pect of juvenile activities. 1t
seems to me Arlington's Pig
tail League is dynamic proof
that there is nothing wrong
with our youngsters which
cannot be helped by intelligent
parents, far-sighted business
firms and enthusiasm and
praise for juvenile energies
channeled into proper lanes.
Everyone, of course, cannot
manage a softball team, but
there is something SO out of
100 parents can do. Find out,
for example. what the neigh
borhood kids are doing-on
the playground, and other
places they gather. Then see
if there cannot be developed
something better they could be
doing, yet still have just as
much fun.
We all should be rooters for
our boys and girls; they are
well worth it.
Bertha M. ROthbart.
