Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler, in his re-
cent appearance on the Meet
the Press" television program.
suggested that President Eisen-
hower's announced candidacy
for denomination might be q
holding operation" and that
the President might not run
for q second term after all.
This, doubtless. is Buffers hope
"A hope cherished for the last
two years. Indeed, Butler
started predicting Eisenhower
would not be q candidate to
succeed himself almost imme-
diately after he became Demo-
cratic chairman. He suggested.
among other things, that the
President disliked his job and
that the health Of Mrs. Eisen-
hover would cause the Presi-
dent to step aside. The Presi-
dent took occasion to say that
Mrs. Eisenhower was in good
health.
Question Of Smear" Tactic
Butler probably would deny
he was engaged In q smear"
Of President Eisenhower when
he made his holding opera
ton" suggestion. Yet in view
of the statement the Presi-
dent made, Butler was sug-
gesting-if he did not charge
flatly-that President Eisen-
hover was deceiving the people
Intentionally. The President,
when he announced his de-
cision to run. said he had come
to the. conclusion that he was
physically able to handle the
presidential office for another
term, and that it was his duty
to carry on. He added that if
he was ever convinced he could
not fulfill his duties, he would
Immediately step aside. He
made his decision known early
but after stories had been
circulated that he would keep
silent on his plans until just
before the opening Of the Re-
publican National Convention
next August, as a holding oper-
alton which would make it pos
sible for the President to name
his successor. His statement
Last February 20 gave this
suggestion the lie. Yet Butler
seeks to revive it-without the
slightest basis of fact. He Will,
however, have a tough time
making the people believe the
President dishonest in inten-
ton and a liar In fact.
Republican National Chair
man Leonard w. Hall must
have proved a great disap-
pointment to Butler. For Hall
has insisted always that the
President would run for a Sec
ond term. Indeed, on Septem-
Der 26 last, two days after the
President suffered q heart at
tack, Hall told inquiring re-
porters there was no change in
his plans for the national cam
paign-that he was going right
ahead on the assumption the

Fairfax Zoninq

I sincerely believe my SEN
timents are similar to those Of
my neighhors and the ma
jority of the residents of the
Langley-McLean area in Fair
fax County, Va.
The citizens of the Langley
Mclean area who are OPP
posed to any rezoning of GER
tain land near their homes
indicated their position pub
licly at hearing held by the
Planning Commission early in
April. The opposition to small
lot sizes in that area was clear
ly demonstrated. The COM
mission. by a vote of 6 to S,
if I recall correctly, voted a
recommendation to disap-
prove the application of two
persons for rezoning of their
lands to permit smaller lots in
future real estate development.
This decision was to be pres
ented to the board of super
visors for the county.
Had it been possible to hear
all persons desiring to speak
that evening, the opposition to
any alteration of coming would
have been even more clearly
demonstrated. We do not want
any rezoning which viii alter
the present character Of the
residential development in
northern Fairfax County, and
specifically the Langley-Mc-
Lean area. These people know
that q denser population per-
NIT will set a dangerous
precedent and mark a depar-
ture from the trend. now well
established, for the growth Of
a fine residential community.
Now, in view Of the reaction
Of the people. the planning
commission decides to pro-
coed and recommend an even
denser population for the
Langley-McLean area. They
have acted in direct opposition
to the stand Of the majority
of the residents. Inc people

denied. The commission has
shown that 1t has no respect

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Butler Tits at Eisenhower

ticket would be Eisenhower
and Nixon In 1856. And when
Hall made his first visit-after
the Presidents illness-at the
Presidents Gettysburg farm
last November. he said the
President looked q million per
cent" and that he. Hall. was
sure the President would run
again If he was able to do 80.
AS prognosticator, Chair
man Hall has been wonderfully
accurate-even to the selec-
ton of Vice President Nixon as
the Presidents 1856 running
mate. Nothing has shaken Hall
in his belief that the COP.
ticket would be the same as
four years ago. He has made
another prediction with which
Chairman Butler also does not
agree-that President Eisen-
hover will be reelected next
November as overwhelmingly
as in 1852.
A Disappointment to Butler
Hall has disappointed Chair
man Butler in several other
matters. The Republican chair
man would not 60 along with
a plan for a joint campaign
fund raising drive-with both
parties sharing in the contri-
buttons. Hall is Of the opinion
that each party must look to
its campaign funds and plans.
And Butler was incenSed be-
cause Chairman Hall declined
to accept the invitation Of a
broadcasting network to put
Butler and Hall on, in q kind
of joint appearance, once a
week until election day. Hall
said he saw no need of debat-
ing with Butler every week
that he had other things to do,
and that was that. The time
had been offered free, and
Butler charged that Hall, by
his refusal, prevented the
Democratic National Commit
tee from getting free time on
the air waves; that Hall was
engaged in a conspiracy to
keep the Democrats of the air,
since the Republicans had
plenty of money to buy time
on the air. and the Democrats
had very little money.
Republican National Chair
man Hall is hailed by Republic
cans as the most efficient, the
most liked national chairman
the party has had in years.
1t was Halls idea that every
thing possible should be done
to shorten political campaigns;
that the parties national con-
ventions should be held later in
the year. He called the tune
when he picked August 20 for
the G. o. P. convention in
San Francisco. In the selec-
ton of the convention city. he
also proved Butler wrong. For
the latter said he believed that
Hall would later come around
to Chicago-where the Demo-
Gratis are holding their conven-
ton.

Youth Problem

Police Chief Murray's order
calling for a breakdown on
troublesome juvenile gangs
should serve notice to the
Washington community that
its community slip is showing.
Although the police have no
alternative where the protec-
ton of citizens and property
are at stake, and although dis
persal of gangs may accom-
plish this end, what, exactly
does it accomplish for the
youth?
Those who know youth,
know that it is natural for
them to want to gang together
and seek something to do. Is
their preference the street cor
ner or do they have an alter
native? Has the community
provided any constructive
measures to channel the nat
ural instincts and energies of
these young people to whole
some activities? Are the So
called recreational facilities
easily accessible, properly
equipped, sufficiently and COM
petently stated and is the
program designed to attract
the corner boys? Are these rec
reational facilities available
when they are needed or are
they on a limited schedule like
one Southeast center which
operates from Novembe
through March?.
Do the Commissioners, Con-
gress, youth-serving agencies
and other interested commu-
nifty leaders agree on what the
problem is and do they have
solution? Do they agree that
the police must do what they
are doing, with questionable
effect, because there is a need
Tor more sensitivity and in
telligence in approaching our
local youth problem?
Have the youth of this city
been short-changed in recrea-
ton just as they have been
in education?
The District Recreation
Committee annually hears the
neighborhood representatives
plead" for adequate and addi-
tional youth services. Their
sympathy and intelligence.
however, does not seem to per-
meate. with any appreciable
effect, the supposedly informed
budget makers.
1t appears that there is too
much distance between a first
hand knowledge of the youth
problem and those who could
do something about it.
Naturally. leadership in the
matter should come from the
top. 1t should be a total COM
munity effort not solely of
public agencies but inclusive
of all agencies and groups
which might contribute to a
total community effort.
For example, the nearby
armed services might lend
some of its recreational leader
ship talent and group know
how. Youth canteens could be
organized with the right COM
bination of the place, the ia
cilities and the funds.
Is there an intelligent lead
ership in Washington capable
OF coping with the youth prob
lem? There is, If it will but
sit down together and 60 to
work.

CHEVY CHASE.


Dear Sir:
IT once tried roasting the
beans Of the Kentucky coffee
tree.
IT collected q large number
Of the dark mahogany pods,
and took them home in tri-
umph.
MY wife refused to have
anything to do with the
project.
"She indicated that ordinary
coffee was good enough for
her, and If I wanted to try it.
she would turn over the range
to me. but she positively re-
fused to drink any of the stuff.
II collected about a quart
Of the loose seeds. very dark.
almost black, from the pods
lined with green gum.
"Since the pioneers seemed
to have left no directions for
this brew. I was Immediately
on my own.
II spread the seeds out in
the sun for several days, and
let them get thoroughly dry.
"Then I put them In the
oven. and roasted them as long
a. I thought At.
what determined me to
quit was when they began to
burn.
II got them out quickly, and
let them cool on.
Then I started to grind a
few in our old coffee mill.
They were much harder
than ordinary coffee beans,
but the resulting powder was
not bad; darker, but with some
aroma. though not as much as
coffee.
II used exactly the same pro-
portions Of the powder !
would with real coffee, run
ming the water through q filter.
THE result was not q bad
looking brew.
II held my opinion until I
had lightened q cup UP with
plenty Of cream, and used
about q teaspoonful Of sugar.
THE result, alas. was pretty
terrible.
II managed to drink my cup
full, but could get no one else
in the family to try it, and I
couldn't blame them much.
IF this was what the pio-
neers had to drink, no wonder
they preferred tea.
Maybe ] didn't do it right,
I don't know. but I was pretty
careful. and don't see how even
the best cook could improve
the mess.
There was that fiat weedy
taste I have come to associate
with all herbs. despite the
claims Of their addicts.

that no alteration in coming

hope likewise. We hope that

YOUNG Recruits for G. 0. P.

It looks as though President Eisen-
hover may be well on the way toward
attaining one of his major political goals
the enlistment of young people under
the Republican banner
Returns from Nationwide poll of
100000 senior and junior high school
students have just been made public. And
the result is anything but good news for
the Democrats.
The totals for the two major parties
were: Republicans, 268372; Democrats,
163,915. The President was far out in
front among the individual candidates
with 258,927 votes. He had absolute ma
1orities in 4S States and led in all 48. His
percentage of the total was 586-better
than he did in 1852. The vote for Sena-
tor Knowland, the only other Republican
on the ballot, was negligible.
Adlai Stevenson got $3.50 votes to
$4,000 for Senator Kefauver. The stu
dents cast 1924 write-in votes, which
were encouraged. Rather surprisingly,
Vice President Nixon led the field in this
category, with Governor Hartman a
close second
AAc SASH1lCdnce OF CnlS is Lhat 1t is
'Ae Democratic Party which for years has
been looked upon as the party OF the
young people. The Republicans are sup
posed to have drawn their support from
the older and more conservative elements
IN the country. Now it looks as though
this pattern may be changing. Undoubt-
edly, this is due in part to the Presidents
personal popularity. But Mr.. Eisenhower
has been making over the G. o. P. in his
own image, and some of his personal
popularity may rub off on his party. This
certainly will be the case If the 81 per
cent OF these young student voters who
preferred the Republican Party, many of
whom will be going to the polls in 1860,
adhere to the preference which they have
expressed this year.
