Anchors Aweiqh
BY DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

bubbling over with sheer JOY,
those from the oldest often
sound like the youngest. as
they greet the unseen with a
cheer. More than once in re-
plying to such words of appre-
citation from those past 80 1
have called them my "octo-
geraniumS," as for them the
bright blooms of living have
not been blighted by the gray
cyniciSm of the long years
even though losses have come
such as tested the faith of Job.
Many letters come from the
young. I am always far be-
hind in replying to these gra-
ciouS expressions, but sooner
or later, by burning the mid
night oil, I do my best to re-
spond with a grateful heart,
that so many take the time
and energy to let me into their
lives. and to say that somehow
I have helped to keep them on
their feet.
AS we go I do want this great
cloud of witnesses out there
to know that this preacher to
whom they weekly listen, for
this week has left the pulpit
and is standing at the portal
OF the sanctuary to say to
each one, Il have you in my
heart" When we sail out
through the Golden Gate, a
voyage of is days will stretch
ahead, with a stop at blissful
Honolulu. Landing at Yoko-
hama, Japan, We will fly at
once to the capital of Korea
and at last tread the soil of a
land which, having not seen,
we love, and which, with a
valor that will be told a thou
sand years from now, is fight
ing for her life and for ours.
For freedom is indiviSible.
Years ago, as on a lovely
day we were crossing the blue
Atlantic, I penned some lines
which will match the song in
our hearts as we cross this
wider sea, and as, like "Cortez
we stare with wild surmise at
the Pacific. AS a parting
salute I give you the verses:
Out of my portfolio stretches
the sea
World 1Dhere from schedules
and rutS one may fee
Leaving behind all the babble
OF people
Here not a SkyScraper, street
or a Steeple.
Out of my portfolio .timmers
the sea
White-fecked and green blue
reckoning me;
Fling out your gray care, Worry
and fear
Cdlleth the uast deep far, net
so near.
Out OF my portfolio cdlleth the.
OpGline. opulent, yet all for
me.
o magic circlel MY Gagged
heart is free
Whene'er my portfolio frames
sky and sea.
And may the Father God of
sky and sea and land watch
between us while we are alb
sent one from another and
grant us the riches of His
grace and His peace.

THE GAME OF POLITICS
Stevenson in Middle on Civil RIGHTS
BY FRANK R. KENT

was denounced for Tack Of
leadership" in enforcing the
Supreme Courts antisegre-
cation decision In the public
schools. They also announced
six or seven steps which they
insisted the Federal Govern
ment must take or must
pledge itself to take. While this
announcement was aim ed
against Mr.. Eisenhower. 1t
really appalled, the Democrats
and is particularly annoying
to the close friends Of Mr..
Stevenson who thought the
way out for him would be q
simple approval and adoption
Of the civil rights plank Of the
last Democratic convention.
But that idea clearly is not
going to work. The demands
of the Negro Democrats" in
Chicago go way beyond both
the 1852 convention plank and
anything Mr.. Stevenson has
said on the subject. His mod
Grafton" on this issue is no
more pleasing to them than
that of Mr.. Eisenhower. 1t is
generally regarded as side
stepping and evasive. Not
withstanding the wishful
thinking of Democratic Chair
man Butler and others of be-
ing able to -four flush" once
more on this extremely vital
question, there is bound to be
a party split when the time
comes to adopt the platform.
Agile and acrobatic as the
good Adlai is, there seems no
way in which he can handle
this tough convention prob
lem without offending one side
or the other.
Stevenson in Tough Spot
Just rewriting the 1852
plank will certainly not do.
That perhaps was all right at
the time but it does not take
account of the situation Gre
ated by the court decision. In
brief, something much less
equivocal is needed. 1t is, say
Mr.. Stevenson's admirers, a
pretty tough spot to be in but
"Adlai will find a way out"
They particularly wish they
did not have to act first. Early
in the week the Democratic
strategists were greatly en-
couraged by the attack on
Vice President Nixon by the
politically impotent and frus-
trated Harold Stassen. This
undoubtedly was helpful to
the opponents of Mr.. Eisen-
hover, who regard Mr.. Nixon
as an asset to their cause. 1t
seemed to be break for their
side. But within "a hours the
Stassen suggestion was blown
to pieces by the declaration Of
Gov. Herter of his inten-
ton to put Mr.. Nixon in NOM
ination at the convention, and
by the generally unfavorable
reaction among the Republic
can leaders, and in the indie
pendent press as a whole-that
it was a mischievous and I'M
important maneuver which
would not materially change
the situation. OF course, every
effort will be made by the
Democratic publicity agencies
to capitalize on it.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT

The writer of the weekly
message, Spires of the
Spirit" who for privileged
years has had the temerity
to say to so many readers,
Lend me your ears" is about
to put out to sea. Mrs. Harris
and I expect to sail on July 81
from San Francisco on the
Cleveland Of the American
President Line. Our return to
the United States is scheduled
for the first week in October.
We go on mission of good
will and certainly one of adj
miration and appreciation for
gallant allies of the free world.
The primary object of the
journey to the East is to visit
President and Mrs. Syngman
Rhee in Korea and to attend
his inauguration in Seoul for
his third term as President of
the Republic of Korea. In
more than one of the weekly
messages, 1 have spoken of the
close friendship we cherish
with him. For a decade I was
his pastor in the Capital of
the Nation. In ability, in
tegrity and world statesman
ship I believe history will APP
praise him as one of the
towering figures of these cru
cial years. A glimpse of his
devotional life is seen in a
letter I recently received from
him. After referring to the
battling problems constantly
confronting him, he says, But
in the midst of it all I open
my Bible. Mrs. Rhee and I
regularly read, morning and
evening, a chapter and offer
prayer. This is our great
source of relief from troubled
thoughts"
High officials of our Govern
ment have added their desire.
with that of President Rhee.
that I should see the Korean
situation at close range. The
United States Senate in gra-
cious words has put their
blessing on this mission of
their Chaplain to that gallant
land striving to keep burning
bright the fires of democracy
amid q sea of goddess commu-
nism. I take with me per-
sonal letters of felicitation to
Koreas President from a
number Of the leading figures
IN our Government.
And so, We go to an OUTPOST
on the front line of the global
battle to sit where President
Rhee sits with the truce
breaking enemy modified but
Is minutes away with loaded
planes poised for another in
vasion il We weaken in our
support.
Then, too, we plan to accept
a gracious cabled invitation of
Generalissimo and Madame
Chang Kai-shek to be their
guests IN Formosa-the lungs
through which Free China still
breathes. And Freedoms Foun-
dation of Valley Forge has
asked me as its National Chap
lain to present a plaque

will not cease to reach you
during our absence. Somehow
I have managed to leave
enough to cover all the weeks.
They have been put safely in
the editorial deepfreeze.
One of the greatest depriva-
tons of this ministry to so
great an audience across
eventful years in world history
has been a certain feeling of
isolation. The messages are
like arrows shot in the air, but
the one sending them is some
how separated from the dear
folks to whom he is privileged
to speak. To many of them
he must seem a faceleSs, form
less figure. To be sure, out of
the silence, as each article is
sent forth come responses
such as would warm the heart
of any man whose passion it
is to make some worthwhile
spiritual contribution to hun
cry hearts. This personal

tunity / have long craved to
say that the letters which
constantly come from the I'M
seen audience are among the
choicest compensations of all
my ministry. They fill my
sky with stars. They come
from all faiths, Roman Cath
olics, Jews, Protestants, Nor
mons, Greek Orthodox and
Moslem, and from those Of no
acknowledged RELIGIOUS affilia-
ton. These lovely "amens"
come from those struggling
with doubts, temptations, dis
illusionment, illness. injustices
all the ills to which flesh is
heir. Many come from shut
ms and the aged. But let it
be said that so far as messages

Not since his primary VIC
tories In Florida and Califor-
mia has there been much real
doubt Of Adlai Stevenson's re-
nomination for President by
the Democratic convention in
Chicago, which will meet in q
couple Of weeks. Possibly the
nomination may come on the
first ballot: almost certainly on
the second. Considering this,
it is interesting to note the abb
sence Of any particular in
crease of enthusiasm for him
among the voters as a whole
compared to 1852.
Rivals Will Support Him
There are a number Of rea-
sons for this. He will, Of
course, have the support Of his
chief nomination rivals-Gov.
Hartman, Senator Kefauver
and Senator Symington. Also,
ex-President Truman will be
more or less holly behind him.
They will advocate his election,
as they would that Of any Dem
ocrat nominated, and not be-
cause of any individual per-
sonal or political devotion to
him. They are for him because
it is essential for them to main
tain their party regularity and
not because they either want
him to or believe he is going to
win. On the contrary, most
of the leading Democratic pol
iticians (excepting always the
egg-headed group of journal
lists, labor bosses and far left
New and Fair Dealers who SO
vociferously boosted him in
1882 feel that Mr.. Stevenson
has not added an ounce to his
weight as a candidate in the
last four years.
OF course, he needs a good
deal more than that and, with
luck, he might get it. Alert
and plausible, he may be able
to solve some of the more diff
cult problems of his party in
the framing of the so-called
civil rights" plank in the
party platform. On this issue
which, emotionally and politi-
cally, is by far the most vital
with which the convention will
have to deal, the party danger
is obvious. For 16 years the
Democratic management. Gym
ically and successfully. has

aged to gain the vote OF the
Negroes in some 10 or IL North
and border States and at the
same time hold the support of
the white Democrats Of the
South.
Without wholehearted sup
port of these two great voting
groups no Democrat would
stand a chance of winning the
presidency this time. 1t is not
denied that the Democrats lost
votes among both of these
groups in 1850 and 1852. This
accounts for the strenuous eff
forts now being made by
Democratic leaders to hold
them intact. Last week at a

No Funfure

The Senate was getting a
new Office building so years
ago. too. on July 81, 1906. The
Star said: with as little cere-
mony as 1t is possible to imag-
inc, the cornerstone Of the
new Senate once Building was
laid at noon today. Congress
was not in session, the Presi-
dent was out of town. and the
function was witnessed by
only a few Of the Capitol off,
Gals and q small gathering Of
newspapermen. The ceremony
was in striking contrast to the
cornerstone laying Of the
House once Building, when
the President delivered his ia
nous muck rake speech, and
when there were present all Of
the most prominent politicians
Of both houses Of Congress
and the entire Masonic order
Of the District Of Columbia.
There we're no speeches. no
music, few distinguished
guests. The ceremony had
the advantage, at least, Of
being strictly on time.
When the whistle blew for
noon, the engineer in charge
Of the hosting machine opened
the throttle and the big hollow
stone arose from its place. :"

Hobby

That new-fangled contrap-
ton. the automobile, became
a hobby for one rich man so
years ago. On July %, 1906,
The Star reported: John
Jacob Aston, who needs no in
PRODUCTION to the American
public, is the largest private
owner Of automobiles in this
country. Mr.. Astor's automo-
biles number "a. He is now
acquiring machines at the
rate Of one every two or three
months, and the fad with him
instead Of waning, wakes ex-
ceedingly. Three machines
that he recently purchased
averaged in price more than
$4,000 each. The average cost
Of each of his machines is
about $4,000, making a total Of
$4,000 for all his machines.
These figures are exclusive, of
course, of the supplementary
equipment that goes with each
machine. But Mr.. Astor
has more than enough to keep
the wolf from the door. so
each automobile in his pos
ession has its own particular
equipment right down to the
smallest detail. :"
