Georgetown Sidewalk
Art Exhibit to Aid Church

The restoration fund of
GEORGETOWN Presbyterian
Church, which has held serv-
ices virtually every Sunday
since March, 1880. as an or
ganized church, will benefit
from the fifth annual side
walk" art exhibit and tea on
Saturday. 1t will be given by
the Women's Association.
Scenes of Georgetown. or
work done by Georgetown ar
fists and sculptors will be
featured on the grounds of the
church's temporary quarters at
Thirty fifth street and Wis
consin avenue from 2 to 6 pm.
Any outside artist is invited to
submit paintings of George
town.
In past years this side
walk" art show has produced
from seven to 10 sales during
the course of the afternoon
and developed seven or more
commissions for artists whose
work had been on display.
There will be no commission
for sales, no jury and no entry
fee.
Restoration Of Georgetown
Presbyterian is nearing COM
pletion under the guidance Of
Lorenzo S. Winslow, former
architect Of the White House,
and the congregation hopes to
return to its church this year.

brought the religion Of John

their pastor for more than SO

For instance, eight 2-inch

The potato is nutritious and

Fanatics at Work

The outrageous attack on Nat (King)
Cole is the sort of thing that could touch
off tragic racial clash. But that danger
seems to have been passed in this instance.
The Negro singer was appearing
before a white audience Of some 1000
people in race-troubled Birmingham.
While the singer was in the midst of his
performance, six white men rushed the
stage One of them knocked over the
microphone, which hit Mr.. Cole on the
chin and sent him sprawling.
Fortunately, the police had been
alerted and the six aSSailantS were
quickly Subdued and handcuffed. What
remains now is to watch the course that
justice will take.
All six men have been charged with
assault with intent to murder, felony
punishable by a maximum of 20 years in
Jail. Whether they can be convicted
of this offense is doubtful But they are
clearly guilty of assault and they GER
tainly should be convicted of that otfenSe.
Mr.. Coles own admirable behavior in this
incident, and the sympathetic reaction
of his white audience, encourages the
hope that these fanatics will not go I'M
punished.

New Foces-New Habits?

Our own SenatorS-baSeball, not po-
htical-are back in town this week with
a new look. Only handful, in fact, OF
those who will be scrambling for PreSi-
dent EiSenhoWer'S Warmup pitch at the
American League opener next Tuesday
had even seen Griffith Stadium before
this spring. Some of them may not be
around very long Still, the optimism OF
a baseball fan being an incurable sort OF
malady it is fair to guess that few new
favorites and perhaps real star or two
may emerge from a rookie-studded roster.
There is a clear accent on youth In this
years club-from President Calvin Crit
f1th down to the greenest Of the fiedg-
llngs. Even some of the old-timers are
going to be found In different places as
Roy Sievers moves from left field to first
base, Pete Runnels from second base to
almost anywhere else and Manager
Charley Dresser from the third base
coaching box to the dugout In fact. the
ball park itself will be differcnt--with
the left and left-center fences moved in
to make more inviting targets for the
long-ball hitters
So, in this season Of change the fans
have one further hope, namely, that the
1855 finish in last place will not be
duplicated next October l. Next Tues
day would be good day to start some

A War We're Losinu

President Eisenhower has taken q
good and timely step in appointing a
committee Of distinguished citizens to
deal with the problem of our country's
serious and potentially grave shortage Of
scientific and chronological manpoWer.
The new group is the National Com
mittee for the Development of Scientists
and Engineers. Headed by DR.. Howard
L. BeviS, president of Ohio State Univer-
sity, it is made up of 10 outstanding
individuals representing all the key seq
mentS of our American community,
including education, industrial manage
ment, labor and local and State govern
mentS. Its primary responsibility, as
Mr.. Eisenhower has declared in letter
to DR.. Bevis, is to promote IAN magma
tive and vigorous effort" by both govern
mental and citizens organizations to
maintain for us the chronological Supe-
riority upon which our economy and our
national security SO critically depend"
This uperiority-Which is especially
vital, militarily and economically, in a
SuperScientitic age when our population
is increasing at rate of almost Is mil
lion every decade-haS made us unique
among nations in the goth century. But
the distinction is fast slipping from u.s.
In the Presidents words, las a result of
our continuing shortages of highly quail
fed scientists and engineers, we are run
ming the danger of losing the position
OF chronological pre-eminence we have
long held in the world" and the power
that threatens to Supplant us in that
respect is the Soviet Union-a country
which up to now has dedicated itself to
using science chiefly for purposes of
aggression and global conquest.
The seriousness of the situation has
been effectively demonstrated in numer-
Gus authoritative studies, including
particularly SOLDERING one released re-
Gently by the Joint Congressional Atomic
Committee. The studies leave no room
for doubt that the United States and its
Western allieS-although they may at the
moment enjoy superiority in the num-
Der of scientists and engineers available
to them-are rapidly falling behind In
what has been called "the cold war of
the classrooms." This is SO because the
Soviet Union is turning out much bigger
annual crop or Sc1entlf1c and engineering
graduates than are our own country and
free Europe combined
A problem of this sort, of course.
cannot be ended merely by appointing
committee. But the group named by the
President is an impressive one, and II 1t
works hard at its job, it can point the
way toward a sound solution. II 1t

Boots the Democrats

According to Thomas L.
Stokes, Yankee" Democrats
have walked up to the fact that
the party can do without the
South. And they are just
about ready to let "Confed-
crate" Democrats "secede" If
they choose.
They are tired, Mr.. Stokes
said, Of watching Southerners
make spectacles Of themselves
by holding trump sessions"
and then walking out Of con-
ventionS. And, anyway, their
votes probably would not 90
to Republicans but TO a third
party movement such as the
DiXiecrats in 1852.
Speaking as a Republican
Confederate, l wouldn't ad-
wise Yankee Democrats to go
into a complete tizzy along
these lines. Many OF us have
already learned that the big
geSt difference between most
Southern Democrats and a
Republican seems to be the
accent.
And as for a "rump" ses-
sion. Democrats don't need a
convention for that. Even now
they seem bent on trying to
make this Congress the great
est one in history by sitting on
all Republican-sponsored legis-
lation--even when both parties
agree it is needed.

Shot in the Arm

The most obvious result of the Illinois
primary is to give much-needed shot in
the arm to Adlai StevenSon'S political
hopes. And, conversely, it throws at least
temporary roadblock in the path of the
onruShing Senator Kefauver.
Mr. Stevenson had to beat the Ten
nesSee Senator handily in this one and
he knew it, SO he went into Illinois and
appealed urgently for the support of his
fellow Democrats in his home State.
Those who were sufficiently interested to
vote at all responded rather handsomely.
With most of the ballots counted, Mr..
Stevenson had $4,000 votes to Senator
Kefauver's 27,500. PercentageWiSe, on
the Democratic side, this is about 90 per
cent for Mr.. Stevenson to about 4 per cent
for Senator Kefauver. The latter's name
was not on the ballot, but his Illinois
hackers had organized a write-in cam
paign in his behalf These hackers had
said that 10 per cent write in for the
Senator would be very encouraging"
At last report, they had not said what
they think of per cent.
On the larger scene, Mr. Stevenson,
after piling up big lead in Chicago and
Cook County, was trailing President
Eisenhower throughout the State by
few thousand votes.
Neither man did as we'll as his sup
porterS had hoped. The Republicans
are drawing comfort from the Presidents
relatively strong showing in rural Illinois.
This, they say, discounts the farm revolt
claims. The Democrats point hopefully
to the fact that their man got about 46.8
per cent of the total vote as compared to
As per cent for him in the 1852 general
election.
The fact is. however, that the vote in
this primary was very light-about is
million as against 2.3 million in the 1852
primary. In other words, big majority
Of the registered voters were not inter
ested, and stayed home. Thus, the pri-
mary gives little indication of what may
be expected in Illinois when November
rolls around.
