Book SHORTAGE

The seriousness of the book shortage
at the District Public Library has been
made evident by the voluntary book
collecting activities of friends of the
library. For example, the Book Patrol of
the National Council of Jewish Women
recently obtained more than 5000 books
in a one-day, door to-door solicitation.
The patrol canvassed not only members
Of the league but the public in general in
quest of surplus books and photograph
records to add to the library's shelves.
Some of the contributions, of course, we're
not suitable for use by the library, but
even these were Of value to the District
Welfare Department for distribution to
various city institutions and welfare
agencies.
While these donated books will help
to relieve the shortage at the library and
its branches, there will still be shortage
of technical and reference books that
only additional funds can provide. The
library's annual report points out that the
demand for books is increasing, along
with the cost of books-and appropria-
tions have not kept pace. The efforts of
the Book Patrol to fill the gap are timely
and commepdable.

Dr.. Adenouer Returns

Chancellor Adenauer Of the West
German Republic arrives in Washington
this week, fresh from resolving some of
his most troublesome political problems
at home. Within the past fortnight he
has recorded the following accomplish
ments: Restored unity within his cabinet
which was dangerously threatened by
public dispute with his economic and
finance ministers over current govern
ment economic policy; reached agreement
with Premier Mollet of France on the
future of the Saarland won cabinet APP
proval of an agreement by which West
Germany will pay approximately $155
million for another years support of
American defense forces in that country,
and gained legislative agreement that the
military CONSUMPTION authorization bill
will be passed before the summer recess
next month.
While the Chancellor agreed to COM
promise on each Of these issues, their
resolution strengthens his leadership at
a time when it has been under heavy fire.
Perhaps his greatest boost at home came
from the accord on the Saar, by which
this industrially rich province will return
to German control next January. In
exchange, DR.. Adenauer agreed to con-
struction of new Moselle Canal that
will benefit French Lorraine primarily,
and promised to assure supplies of Saar-
land coal to French industry. To Ger
mans, however, return of the Saar is fully
worth this price, and to the West in gen.
eral French-German agreement is highly
welcome. On military CONSUMPTION, the
Adenauer victory likewise is qualified
one in that no agreement yet has been
reached on the length of military service.
West German opposition to rearmament,
and particularly to conscription has been
widespread and the Chancellors argu-
mentS for an 18-month term Of service
have not yet prevailed over opposition
insistence that the term be limited to
IL months.
In his two days here, DR.. Adenauer
scheduled to see Secretary of State
Dulles and others for further CONVEX
SationS on the all-important question
Of German uniflcation. Here again,
the Chancellor's Arm policy Of standing
with the West on this issue has gained
new support at home because of re-

Out,of Dancer

The news from the Presidents doc
tors is better-much better-than most
of us had dared % hope for.
Mr.. Eisenhowers operation was a
complete success. His illness had no
relation to his heart. and there was no
sign of cancer The doctors think he
will be able to resume limited work early
next week, and he should be able to
resume full activity in from four to six
weeks. Asked if he thought there was
anything in the Presidents intestinal
trouble which would prevent him from
running for reelection, Major General
Leonard D. Heaton, commandant of Wal
ter Reed Hospital replied: 81 certainly
do not" And he added he was sure he
spoke for all Of the doctors on that
point.
Thus, the political significance of this
presidential illness is markedly different
from that following Mr.. Eisenhower's
heart attack last September "a. On the
former occasion the President faced
long and uncertain period of GONZALES
cence. 1t was months after the attack
before the doctors could hold out any
assurance of normal recovery, and it was
even longer before Mr.. Eisenhower could
satisfy himself that he was equal to what
he called the continuous burden" of the
presidency
8 In all probability there will be no
comparable period of delay and indecision
this time.
When Mr.. Eisenhower announced
last February that he would seek a Sec
ond term, he said, II am confident that
can continue to carry them (his essen
tial duties) indefinitely. Otherwise, I
would never have made the decision I
announced today" And in March he said
this: II have said unless felt absolutely
up to the performance of the duties of
the PreSident-the second that didn't
I would no longer be there in the job,
or ! wouldn't be available for the job"
We have no doubt that the same
considerations will govern the Presidents
future course when he leaves Walter
Reed. If he feels that he is up to the
Job, there is every reason to suppose that
he will adhere to his decision to run in
November. And if this proves to be the
case, we think that most people, of what
ever political faith, will feel that the
country and the world are better off
because of it.

HeLpinq Them Walk

Today, designated as National Shrin-
erS Hospital Day, is the thirty-fifth ami
versary of the founding of a remarkable
Observation-Disclosures program that has
brought aid, comfort and cheer to more
than 100000 crippled children. The best
proof of the effectiveness of the ShrinerS'
program is the discarded crutcheS and
braces of the boys and girls under IA who
have benefited from the generous and
worthwhile program. The services have
been rendered to children of all races and
creeds at no cost whatever to any child
or parent. The sponsors of this program
have earned the gratitude not only of the
children treated but of the community
at large.

Farm Belt ENCOURAGEMENT

Republicans worried over their po-
litical prospects In the Farm Belt have
good reason to feel encouraged by results
of the G. o. P. senatorial primary in Iowa
last week. For that particular intraparty
battle was fought out largely on the
issue of the administrators farm policies
and the result is logically interpreted as a
reasonably satisfied acceptance Of those
policies Senator Hickenlooper, member
of the Senate Agriculture Committee and
one of the administration most active
supporters on farm legislation, won the
primary test by better than a two-to-one
margin. His campaign centered almost
exclusively on defense Of the flexible price
support theory favored by the admin
iStration and on defense of President
Eisenhower's veto of legislation that
would have restored the high support
formula. Even his opponent, who took
only one of the States SO counties, inter
preted the result as showing that the
farmers "are happy"
Coincidentally, Republicans are being
cheered also by the most recent statistics
on farm prices In mid-May, according
W IIle OCpdi GIlCIlb VI ASI1Cu4IulS, IllCy
had registered their fifth straight month
ly rise and had recovered all their losses
of the past year. And while farm costs
likewise mounted in this latest month,
the price climb moved at faster pace to
improve the parity ratio from 80 to IS.
There is no room, of course, for
COP. complacency about the farm
situation and its political implications.
The improvement in that segment of the
economy has been only slight and its
relative depression has been lengthy.
Initial steps to implement the soil bank
plan may help further but there is time
also for new setbackS before election day.

There is noticeable increase

tunity for an armed uprising.

and mills are being systemat-
ically armed with Mauser

A Test of Good Faith

The regular District appropriation
bill submitted to Congress in January
deliberately omitted numerous public
works items because there was no money
to pay for them. 1t is this bill which
House and Senate have approved and is
now in conference There are no major
differences between the House and Sen
ate, and we hope the House will accept
the 1870 extra Schoolteachers included in
the Senate bill, instead of the rs sailed
for by the House.
After the regular District appropria-
ton bill had been introduced, Congress
passed bill raising local taxes and au-
thorizing $23-million Federal payment
an increase of So million--as part and
parcel of the tax increase measure. That
bill has now become law. And with this
new revenue in sight, the Commissioners
have sent to Congress a supplemental
appropriation bill, carrying the items
withheld from the regular appropriation
bill This supplemental bill contains So
million of Federal funds, which would be
added to the $20-million Federal payment
carried in the regular appropriation bill,
soon to become law.
= So it is the supplemental bill, now
just beginning its journey through Con-
gress, that will test congressional good
faith in meeting its full financial obliga-
ton to the District this year. We trust
there will be no question about it. The
So million added to the previously author
lied $40 million was in recognition of the
increased obligation of the local tax
payer, which he cannot evade. Congress
is morally bound to keep its part of the
bargain.

The Cogey Bear

With many others. I have
been wondering just what the
Russians were UP to in recent
months. l think the following
quotation gives the answer:
War to the hilt between COM
munism and capitalism is in
evitable. Today, of course, we
are not strong enough to at
tack. Our time will come in 20
or 30 years. To win we shall
need the element OF surprise.
The bourgeoisie will have to be
put to sleep. So we shall begin
by launching the most spectac-
ular peace movement on rec
ord. There will be electrifying
overtures and unheard-of con-
cessions. The capitalist coun-
tries, stupid and decadent,
will rejoice to cooperate in
their own destruction. They
will leap at another chance to
be friends. AS soon as their
guard is down, we shall smash
them with our clenched fist"
This is from a speech made
in 1891 before the Lenin School

try 2. Manuilsky. Mr.. Manuil-
sky was presiding officer Of the

Gil in 1949.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT

Red ripe cherries were upon
a banquet table at a recent
occasion back of the Iron
Curtain. 1t is reported that
as one of the police state
chieftains was about to par
take of the luscious fruit he
suddenly changed his mind
when told that the cherries
had been grown in the free
world of NATO. He wanted
only fruit from trees where
despots. not the people, rule.
That episode suggests the per-
tinent question: What is the
fruit of the ground plowed by
coercion and watered by blood
back of the curtain?
One Of the profound insights
of the Supreme Teacher has to
do with the appraisal of men
and systems. Jesus declared
that always the practical test
is, what is produced. Simply,
but with devastating f1nality,
He says by their fruits We
shall know them"-look at
what hangs upon the branches.
He is thinking of the end re-
suit which comes as the con-
summation of what a tree
inherently is in its nature.
Vividly the Master says no
matter what label you tie on
a thistle tree. when the har-
vest comes you will get thiStles,
not f1gs. You can insist that
a thorn tree is anything you
say it is. But the one thing
you cannot do is to reap grapes
from it. 1.-THE sound tree bears
good fruit; but the bad tree
bears evil fruit. A sound tree
cannot bear evil fruit, nor can
a bad tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear
good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. Thus
you will know them by their
fruits"
The world in which there
still burns freedoms holy light
is now aghast at the shocking
revelation of the poisonous
fruit grown during the past
generation by the gardeners
OF the Kremlin. Theories Of
human relationship which were
to bring in a Utopia Of brother
hood have brought forth hor-
ror. terror, torture and death
for untold millions. Pictures
OF that inferno have now been
held up for even the enslaved
people to See-unveiled by
those who themselves played
their part in the depraved orgy
OF the Soviet assault on human
decencies. Those who point
