 Washington is remembered for his heroism, devotion, military genius and statesmanship.
 Visitors to Mount Vernon, and there are more of them every year, are invariably impressed, it is said, with what comfortable and we'll ordered home it must have been when George Washington lived there. Those who study the me mentoeS, the land and the build ings come to realize that the keys to WashingtonS greatness were self-diScipline and moderation which enabled him to accept de- feat without despair, victory with out elation-and to enjoy the boun- ty of his well-earned good fortune without abusing it.

Artists Painting Exhibited At Fair

A small agate stone, 2x3 inches, unearthed at Horse Canyon, Cali foria, was the subject of a painting entitled ''The Hand of God" and was executed by the local artist, Paul Bond. The painting had its first showing Thursday, February 16, at the Riverside County Fair in Indio, California, according to word received from the artists mother, Mrs. Muriel Smith. She resides in California.
 The stone was sent to Bond for enlargement. According to his mother, she and her husband had felt since discovering the stone in 1853, it verified the Biblical story of Christ's life, from the cradle, through death, to the right hand of God, and that it belonged to the world. They decided on an enlarge ment, through the medium of a painting, as the best way to dis play it. Hence the painting by Paul Bond.
 The artists painting, even be- fore the opening of the fair, has already received noteworthy men, toin in the press. Though stone and painting are viewed together, 1t is said that Paul Bonds painting can stand on its own laurels.

 Dogs and cats are social climbers too. Today they're welcomed in many places where they formerly were forbidden to set paw. One di- rectory lists over 4,000 hotels and motels that make special provisions for dogs, so you don't have to leave Fldo home when you take trip any more.
 A few precautions are in order if you plan to motor with a dog. In one of his stories, James Thurber describes a show-dog that suffered from "a kind of Freudian car sick ness" on his way to every perform ance. Dogs do suffer from motion sickness just as we do. The Ameri- can Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals suggests that several short rides can help get the dog used to the cars motion.
 To prevent Fido from getting car sick you can buy Bonamine - the long-lasting motion sickness tablets - at any drug store. It will ward off an unpleasant experience. Don't overfeed dog in hot climates. and be sure he gets plenty of water. Elk ercise is important. so on long trips let the dog out of the car whenever you stop.

Major Recommendations
The major recommendations,
if approved by Mr.. Eisenhower
and passed by Congress, would:
/. Revise the system of rating
and paying compensation to
veterans with service connected
disabilities so that statutory
awards for loss of parts of the
body would be eliminated. Vet
Grams with minor disabilities
would get less and those with
total disability would get more.
2. Put the World War II and
Korean CT loan programs under
the Federal Housing Admins
tration and extend the World
War II loan program for a maxi
mum of two years, or until mid
1859.
3. Prohibit the sale of Govern
ment life insurance after dis
charge, except too men with dis
abilities which would keep them
from buying commercial insur-
ance at regular rates.
4. Tie social security payments
up with veterans pensions, and
consider other types of income
as a complete or partial offset
against such payments.
5. Put servicemen under the
social security program.
6. Give peacetime veterans
more liberal benefits, including
the same amounts of compensa-
ton for service disabilities now
paid to wartime veterans.
7. Put a deadline on CONVEX
sion by veteran of his Govern
ment term life insurance to
permanent insurance.
8. Develop more compact and
simple system of benefits for
survivors of servicemen and
veterans by using the social
security system as a foundation.
9. Revise the eligibility require
mentS for pensions to widows and
children of veterans; payments
would be based largely on need
or disability.

Gen. Bradley formerly headed

Would Cut Many Payments
The report did little to chart
the actual impact of the rec
concentrations it contained. but
the proposals apparently would
lower or cut out many of the
payments now being made to
veterans, servicemen and sur
vivorS.
The proposals are bound to
stir up controversy because they
conflict sharply with the benefit
programs advocated by various
veterans organizations.
Timothy J. Murphy. COM
mander of the Veterans of For
eign Wars, said the VFW sup
ports many of the recommended
finY1c bt,t n ddoI.
"A number of them, particu-
larly those that would throw
the veterans pension program
into the social security program,
are highly Objectionable and
should be denounced by all vet
Grams"
On the other hand, Kenneth
M. Birkhead, executive director
of the American Veterans Com
mittee, said the recommended
lions are a magnificent contri-
button in bringing sanity and
realism to the Nations programs
of veterans benefits and PEN
Sions."

Mr.. Shigemitsu Needs Help

Japanese Foreign Minister Shige-
mitSu is not in an enviable position as he
visits this, country. For several months
past he has been attempting unsuccess-
fully in Moscow and London to negotiate
RuSso-Japanese peace treaty. He has
been blocked primarily by refusal of the
Soviet government to relinquish its occu-
patton OF and claims upon the Southerly
Islands in the Kurile chain, an area en-
bracing fishing waters vital to the Japa-
neSe economy. At the same time. Secre-
tary Dulles has revealed through a news
conference that he has warned the
Japanese Foreign Minister that a treaty
recognition of Soviet sovereignty over the
kur1leS may be countered by similar
assertion of our sovereignty over the
RyukyuS, including Okinawa. The exist
Ing treaty between Japan and all the
wartime foes except Soviet Russia pro-
videS that they may claim terms equally
favorable with those eventually agreed
upon by Moscow and Tokyo.
Our own Government is not un-
friendly to the signing of a Russo
japanese treaty as such. 1t is under
standably concerned, however, at the
possibility that Tokyo may feel forced
to agree to permanent loss of territory
that would help perpetuate the country's
economic vulnerability and pose con-
tinued military threat to Japanese Sc
curity. Mr.. Shigemitsu has been under
heavy pressure in Japan to negotiate a
treaty with the Soviet Union, almost at
any price. Clarihcation of the American
attitude. in terms Of firmness as well as
OF friendliness, may strengthen his hand
at home and with the Moscow govern
ment too. 1t is to be hoped that the
conversations with American officials will
have that result.

George Palmer highway. The latter high
way is now linked to the bridge by the
half-mile extension of East Capitol street
just opened. Eventually the Washington
Baltimore Parkway also will be connected
with the bridge approaches, via the
Kenilworth interchange. When traffic
from the Baltimore and Annapolis ex-
presswayS is channeled to the bridge the
East Capitol street route will become one
OF the more important approaches to
Washington. BY 1910 it is predicted that
more than 10000 cars will be crossing the
Anacostia at East Capitol street. Such
traffic load will be SUFFICIENT justification
for the $16-million investment which the
bridge and its approaches represent.

Important Bridge

With the opening today Of an ex-
pensive link between the East Capitol
street bridge and main Maryland high
ways, the new bridge across the Anacostia
River will be put to its first real test as
a trafflc-relief facility. Although the
bridge was completed last November, 1t
has. not attracted many motorists because
Of the bottleneck conditions at the east

about 5000 cars, whereas it is capable Of

Unfortunately, Maryland has Jagged be-
hind the District in building some major
approaches to the bridge, chiefly because
Of shortage Of highway funds. How
ever, 1t is expected that the pace will be
stepped up, now that Federal money is
available under the new Interstate
Highway Act.

George Holden Tinkhom

George Holden Tinkham, dead now
at 85, was a wonderfully 'ebullient man.
Throughout his 28-year career in the
House of representatives. career that
ended when he voluntarily retired in 1912
he did much more than just work for
his constituents in the 10th district Of
Massachusetts, A blueblooded Mayfower
descendant, he was never what has come
to be known as proper Bostonian. In
stead, with his conspicuous beard and his
zest for life, he was kind of gay extro-
vert who seemed to delight in doing
things that raised eyebrows in many
sedate quarters. Thus, wholly apart from
his frequent and rather showy hunting
trips abroad, there we're numerous public
fights that he reveled in-notably against
the prohibitionists-and they we're fights
in which he made himself picturesque
enough to enchant the country at large.
1t must be said Of him, certainly, that he
graced and enlivened Washington with
the color and dash Of his personality and
no history Of our town-or Of our most
engaging political hgures-would be quite
complete without due and adequate
mention Of him.
