A Score for Freedom

Against the background of bloody
and dramatic crises in various parts of
the world, there is welcome contrast in
one item of recent news from Southeast
Asia At Saigon last month the Republic
of South Wet Nam celebrated adoption
of its constitution and hailed Ngo Dinh
Diem as its first president. 1t was an oc-
caSion that had been in the making for
the past IL months and was an eventful
milestone in the progress which the coun-
try has been making toward strong and
durable independence.
Actually, the record in South Wet
Nam since the war with France ended
approximately two years ago has been
an impressive one. Emerging from that
struggle were two governments, South
and North-one dedicated to course
of freedom and the other to commu-
niSm. There was no assurance then that
political stability would come easily, or
perhaps at all, to the South. But to ex-
pressed fears that the desire for freedom
might be weak or that South Wet Nam
might prove easily vulnerable to Com
munist subversion, the people themselves
have given succession of clear answers.
In late 1855, they recorded SO per cent
referendum preference for Mr.. Diem as
their national leader. In the spring of
this year, they recorded an almost equally
overwhelming choice for his Western
associates as members Of the new Ma
tional Assembly. The drafting of the
constitution and the formulating of this
republican form of government progressed
steadily, eliminating in the ceremony Of
last week.
South Wet Nam has many problems
political and economic-still to be re-
solved. But there is great reason for OPP
timism that a nation and its leadership
so dedicated to their detectives will go
on to success.

Of devoted persons who will
spend their lives porting over
bird descriptions, and putting
more stress on a small differ
ence between one and another
than on the song and the life
and the signature" which
each represents from its
Creator.
The rest Of us, just plain
folks, can be happy. too, with
seeing and trying to under
stand and help.
We see a sparrow with some
white on it. and we. think it
must be a rare one.
We ought to be glad when we
understand that it is lust a
plain old common sparrow,
after all.
Actually, the English SPAR
rows are nice little fellows,
despite all that has been writ
ten by some of the Catalogue
ers" and their ardent followers.
Looked at honestly, they are
pretty birds. Their habits are
not half as bad as they have
been painted. Their songs are
not at all harsh chirps." as
we so insistently have been
told, but make very pretty
choral music in the cold.
At one time, the imported
sparrows did great service in
cleaning up our streets. But
with the motor car. they had
to fly afar. to farms and fields
and now 10 the suburban areas,
where they horn in" as the
phrase has 1t. on feeding sta
tions mostly intended for rarer
birds.
We feel sure that these little
creatures bring a great deal OF
JOY and happiness TO thou
sands OF watchers. Just as
much so as cardinals and
chickadees, although no doubt
many bird watchers would not
admit it for the world.
There Is a human tendency
toward snobbishness in all
things. and the sport OF bird
watching has not escaped 1t.
Let no one feel guilty when he
finds himself admiring and
liking common sparrows. OF
them 1t may be truly said. as
II was Of trees, only God can
make them and trim an occa-
sional one In white.

The voters Of Texas may
determine whether the Demo-

control the Senate in the new
85th Congress which takes
over in January. They must
fill the Senate seat which Sem
ator Price Daniel will relin-
quish to assume the Office Of
Governor, to which he has
been elected. Ordinarily, Texas
elects Democratic Senators
Just as regularly as the sun
rises. But under the Texas
election laws, when a vacancy
is to be filled, the choice is
made in a special election,
with no provision for party
primary nominations and no
provision for a run of" Vic
tory goes to the candidate
with a plurality of the votes
cast. As of. today, five or six
prominent Democrats are
planning to run for the Daniel
seat--and one Republican. If
the Democratic vote is widely
divided the Republican may
squeak through.
Since the party division in
the Senate, as a result Of the
elections last Tuesday, is 40
Democrats and AZ Republicans
with the Daniel seat included
in the Democratic count of
49), a Republican victory in
the expected special election
would give the Republicans 48
Senate seats and the Demo-
Gratis 48 Seats-a tie. Republic

break a tie, would give the

Resignation Not Acted On

the Senate to become effec-
tive when his successor quail
if1es" ORION January is, when
Daniel begins his term as Gov
ernor. Shivers has never ac-
cepted Daniels resignation,
nor has he taken any steps
toward calling a special cleo
ton to fill the Daniel seat. He
may, however, make a state
ment next week. If he accepts
the Daniel resignation, he can
fill the vacancy in the Senate
by temporary appointment.
But he must call a special
election within 80 days there
after.
If he takes no action on the
resignation, then the duty of
appointing a temporary Sem
ator will devolve on Daniel
when he becomes Governor
and also the issue Of a call for
a special election. Daniel has
said many times he did not
wish to make an appointment:
that the new Senator should
not be ''handpicked."
If Shivers had accepted
Daniels resignation when he
submitted it. an election of a
Senator could have been held

THIS AND That
By CHARLES z. TRACEWELL

"Out in front Of my Office"
writes K. r. P, there is a
good-sized plot of grass, and
every morning when coming to
work / have noticed a flock
of sparrows feeding on the
grass seed.
"They all look alike except
one, which has pure white
wing tips. This gives this one
an odd appearance. Can this
be a sparrow of some other
species? Everything else about
him looks like the rest except
those white wing tips"
1t is an English sparrow.
Variations Of this interest
ing creature often occur, and
one of the commonest is some
white on tail or wings.
Our Whitley, which lived in
our yard for about eight years.
had SO much white on tail and
wing tips that she seemed to
belong to another species.
But she was just a common
sparrow. and good enough to
belong to heE gang.

.Aggressors

In his November 6 column,
Justified and Unjustif1ed
Force" and in his previous
article, who Is the Real Ag-
gressor?" David Lawrence in
dulges in wishful thinking and
futile argument. He tries, con-
trary to any standard of logic
and sound thinking. to make
the whole world (including
the United States, and exclud-
ing the aggressor countries.
Britain, France and Israeli
believe, as he does, that blame
should be directed at the vic
tim Of aggression while hail
and welcome should be the re-
ward Of the aggressors.
Aggression, in its ugliest and
meanest form, has been in
fiicted on the Egyptian people
by Britain, France, and the
so-called little democracy" Of
Israel. The whole world has
been shocked by that agrees
sion. Even British public opin-
ion hastily condemned the ag-
gression and likened Eden and
Mollet to Hitler and Musso-
lini. A former cabinet MEM
Der in Britain even went so
far as to deplore the fact that
Britain is associating itself
with France, whose agrees
sion has been persisting for
over two years in Algeria
against the heroic struggle Of
the Algerian people to rid
themselves of the most-hated
French colonialism and des-
potism. E
I quite agree with Mr.. Law
renee, however. when he states
that the struggle Of the Hun
garian freedom fighters is an
example of a justified use Of
force in their efforts toward
independence from Soviet
domination: But we cannot
permit ourselves to overlook or
forget the heroic fight of the
Algerian people against the
traditional aggressiveneSs Of
France on the one hand. and
the struggle of the Arab
refugees in Palestine, many Of
whom are Christians. to re
gain the right to return to
their stolen homeland. The
world will save itself a blood
bath If it soon realizes that
the struggle for independence
is the same everywhere,
whether it be Poland, Hungary
or North Africa.
When the aggression Of
Britain, France and the gang
ster state of Israel is consid-
cred as an example Of justified
use of force, one cannot help
deploring Mr.. Lawrence's awk-
ward thinking. Furthermore. it
is really a waste of time for
him to argue the point when
the whole world has expressed
its condemnation of the I'M
justified use Of force by Eden.
Mollet and Ben Gurion.
Unfortunately. Mr.. Law
renee could not see that the
United States has taken a
noble stand in upholding the
principles Of freedom and jus
tice and has not hesitated for
one second to condemn agrees
ton. even though the agrees
sors happen to be Britain and
France. with whom 1t main
tains the best relations Of
friendship and solidarity. The
real tragedy. Of course. is that
the West was caught in the
act" Of aggression at a time
when it was called upon to
stop aggression elsewhere.

Middle East Views

Middle East Views
Does anybody think the Jews
Just suddenly took over land
from the Arabs? Truly, the
rebirth Of Israel in the teeth
Of its hostile neighbors is ex-
ceedingly remarkable. by any
standard, taking it's place
alongside brakes defeat of the
Armada, and even the tremen-
dous naval victory of the
Greeks at Salamis-which was
largely due to nature coming
to the aid of the Greeks. Yet,
even so. the Jews did not take
over" Israel from the Arabs.
What flag was flying over
Israel when the British. under
Gen. Allenby, with Arab help,
we frankly recognize, fought
to free that land? 1t was
Turkish, none other. No Arab
could call Israel Arab terri
tory. And it was the British
who held and policed Israel
until it became. at long last,
a state.
And. just to show part OF
the Jewish contribution to this
freeing of Israel from the
Turks, let us recall Just one
man-Dr. Chain Weisman.
Remember anything about
him? Well, we cannot see the
man working quietly, and
largely alone, in his laboratory;
but the British clearly consid-
cred his discoveries of the very
first magnitude in helping
them achieve victory. For, they
asked him to name his price,
for discovering a cheap way to
make acetone, so vital to Brit
ish explosive manufacture. II
ask nothing for myself" said
Weisman. But grant me this:
That the Jews will, at long
last. be allowed one spot on
earth to call their own" And
the British could not refuse.
To be sure, the actual word
ing of the Balfour Declaration
may sound ambiguous when it
should have been clear and
above confusion. Yet it could
not possibly have been inter-
preted by the most prosecuted,
yet most enduring. people on
earth to mean anything ex-
cept that Britain was on their
side. And, as said, the British
policed the land until replaced,
not by Arab police, but by jew
ish police.

Three cheers for France.
England ami Israel. They have
displayed great courage, diplo-
matically and militarily.
Let no American fool him
self. The United States played
politics with economic exist
ence OF France and England.
The United States acted as a
world leader and then ran
back into an isolated shell,
leaving France and England
in the air. First, we pressured
England to withdraw from the
Suez Canal. Col. Nasser. as
any other dictator seeking
more power, nationalized the
canal-the life line of France
and England. Britain remem-
bered too well the words of
Disraeli. who warned long ago
that the blood of her life line
would continue to flow only
as long as England protected
the canal. But Mr.. Dulles
pressured for an agreement--a
less than honorable agreement.
Today it appears that Eng
land, France and Israel are
trying to overthrow Nasser--
something we wanted, but
didn't have the nerve TO do.
There might have been one
goal behind the whole handling
