Tocsin for All of Us

Words that should live in history, as
long as history is written, are some Of the
last ones heard from the rebel-held radio
stations of Hungary: People Of the
world, listen to our call. Help us. !.
Please do not forget that this wild attack
of bolshevism will not stop. You may be
the next victim. Save us. SOS-SOS.
People of Europe, whom we defended
once against the attacks Of Asiatic bar
barianS, listen now to the alarm bells
ringing. f.. People of the civilized world,
in the name Of liberty and solidarity, we
are asking you to help Our ship is sink
ing. The light vanishes. The shadows
grow darker from hour to hour Listen
to our cry -. God be with you and
with us"
AS John Dome has written, mo
man is an island entire of itself. Every
man is piece of the continent, part
of the main. !. Any mans death dimin-
isheS me, because am involved in man
kind; and therefore, never send to know
for whom the bell tolls: it tolls for thee"
And so it is with freedom Snuff it out
anywhere, and it is weakened everywhere.
Although they have hoped for the inn
possible in hoping for our armed aid in
the prairie-f1re circumstances of their
rebellion, the HungarianS have sounded
the grirnmest but truest of warnings.
AS the Kremlin has indicated in its
extremely harsh messages to Britain,
France and Israel, the tocSin is ringing
everywhere for all Of us who still enjoy
liberty, and we must do everything pos
Sible-at once and with the utmost reso-
lution-to meet and surmount what seems
clearly to be steadily growing world
peril.

word and action by party spokesman
necessarily were weighed for political
meaning as well as for their effect upon
the course Of events abroad This will
remain so in long-term sense, but the
verdict being returned by the voters today
will be binding until another election time
arrives. With this verdict recorded,
political considerations are removed from
the forefront for the time being at least.
The American record of bipartisan CO.

one, and we are desperately in need Of

THE POLITICAL MILL
World Peace Depends on Cool Heads
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Further, the operation came at
a time when it appeared that
efforts to bring about a. safe
and adequate control of the
canal we're moving toward
success. It was a bitter shock
to the American Government.
And Incredibly. it was seized
upon by the Democratic OPP
ponents Of the Eisenhower ad.
ministration for political pur-
poses in the closing hours of
the presidential campaign.
Their action. showing @ di-
vision in this country on the
basic issue Of peace and the
United Nations, could do only
harm. It seemed to ally the
Democratic critics of President
Eisenhower with Sir Anthony
Eden. British Prime Minister,
and Guy Mollet. the Prime
Minister Of France, In this at
tack upon Egypt.
Moscow Enters Picture
Finally, the British and
French attack upon Egypt has
given Soviet Russia an oppor-
tunity to threaten the use Of
its own forces II the lighting
is not Immediately halted in
Egypt. Indeed, the Russian
Premier, Bulganin, has warned
that unless this war in the
Middle East is halted, q third
world war is in the making.
The United Nations call for
a cease-fire in the Middle
East, disregardes, by the Brn.
ish and French, is still in eff
feet. The resolution Of the
United Nations calling for the
creation of a U. N. police force
to take over and police the
borders of Egypt and Israel.
and the Canadian proposal for
its organization are further
steps. A continuation of the
attacks by the British and
French are not only unneces-
sary, but can lead TO drastic
overall war. If that war
comes, the British and the
French will look to the United
States-as they have twice in
the past.
The uncertain balance Of
peace and war has been logged
by the precipitate action
first of Israel and more dras-
tically by the governments Of
Britain and France and their
attacks upon Egypt.
Cool heads and f1rmness--
plus an about determination
to prevent extension of the
fighting-are the vital needs
of the hour. President Essen
hover has said that American
armed forces will not be
used-presumably to aid the
British and ench and
Israelis-in the armed opera
tons to take over control of
the Suez Canal. His warning
to the French and the British
apparently fell on deaf ears.
1t is time for them to listen.

This, indeed, is advice that
millions of young Americans

Once you are a doctor" of
something, or other, you can
set yourself up as an authority,
an expert. and there is nothing
the modern American loves
better than to talk to an lex

The American fairly grovels

Ambassadors Protest

The article by Miss Betty
Beale. "All Was Friendly at
Russian Fete," published in
The Evening Star of Novem-
Der 2, reports that one of the
guests present at the reception
at the Embassy on November /
asked me: did you ever ex-
pect to see the United States
and Russia on the same side
in the U. Mp" Miss Betty
Beale states in her article that
I answered mo" to this ques-
ton.
This story by Miss Betty
Beale is mendacious and the
question cited in the article is
a pure invention.
No one Of the guests at the
Embassy put such a question
to me and naturally therefore
I could not possibly give any
answer TO 1t.
/ would appreciate publish
ing this letter in your news
paper.
GeOrgi N. ZarOubin,
Ambassador of the U.S.S.R.
Editors Note: Miss Beale
said today it was she who
asked the Ambassador what
she intended as a jocular
question and it was her under
standing that he replied mo"
in a similarly light vein. She
expressed regret if her misun-
derstanding led her to mis-
quote him.

congested Traffic

Traftc congestion during
rush hours on the highways
bordering the city is reaching
alarming proportions. Motor
lists find that they have to
leave home earlier in the
morning in order to arrive at
work on time; in the evening
they arrive home later.
A decrease in traffic conges-
ton actually can be brought
about in either Of two ways,
but. preferably, by resort to
both ways.
First, a majority Of the many
automobiles occupied solely by
a driver either should be left
at home or should carry a
minimum Of one passenger.
Large Government departments
and on-Government Offices
could be instrumental in lo-
eating riders for autos and
autos for riders. incidentally,
during World War II there was
considerable success in certain
areas where the plan was in
operation.
Second. in addition TO en-
couraging the elimination Of
the car with only the driver,
the working hours Of employees
could be further staggered.
Under the direction OF Office
or bureau heads, in co-opera-
ton with trafiic experts, q GER
tain percentage OF employees
within given ONCE or bureau
could arrange to stagger their
individual working hours so
that the routine Of the Office
may be disturbed as little as
possible. Or should that be
impracticable In some in
stances. perhaps staggering
the hours Of all employees In
such ofices would sufilce.
The institution Of the sug-
gested action 70 alleviate the
deplorable congestion should
result in a surprising improve
ment In traffic flow a. well as
In the morale Of motorists.

The fate of the United Ma
tions-and world peace-hang
in the balance today. The
countries of the world hold the
decision in their hands. The
peoples Of the world want
peace. The danger spots are
their leaders.
Britain and France took q
long step toward thrusting a
knife deep into the U.N. when
they hurried their armed forces
to the Suez Canal, and Egypt
beyond that area. They took
this action, too. not in support
Of nation that had been in
vaded, but in support of the
invading ISraelis. And they took
1t. it is reliably reported, in
concert with the Israel govern
ment. They took the action,
too, because Of their desire to
control the Suez Canal and to
eliminate President Nasser Of
Egypt, who nationalized the
canal last July 26. And finally,
they took it without consulta-
ton with and without inform
ing the United States, their
chief ally in two world wars
and their benefactor in many
material ways.
u. S. Takes Peace Role
Pres lent Eisenhow er
promptly announced this
country would take no part in
the fighting in the Middle East.
And with equal promptness,
this country sought and OBJ
tanned a cease-fire directive
from the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly by an over
whelming 64-to-5 vote. Since
then various resolutions have
been adopted by the General
Assembly. providing for a
United Nations force to police
the borders of Egypt and Israel,
pending final agreements on
the issues that lie between
those countries.
The force of world opinion
on the side of peace and the
United Nations has been ex-
erted. 1t is exerted in this
case against two major nations
Britain and France. If it
succeeds, the history both of
the U.N. and of the world
itself will be tremendously af-
fected. For if it can be ex-
erted successfully in this in
stance, it can the more easily
be used in the cause of peace
in the future.
The Israelis have been goaded
again and again by the
Egyptians, and their invasion
of Egypt and drive toward the
Suez Canal Zone is under
Standable. But whether it
would have been undertaken
at this time without prior
commitments that Britain and
France would intervene-on
their side. through the pretext
of keeping the Suez Canal in
operations something else.

MiddIe-Eost Strife

What has happened to our
traditional sense of justice?
Why does America now con-
Germ itself with a tripartite
agreement, when earlier that
agreement went by the board
every time Israel's borders were
violated? Surrounded on all
sides by enemies ready to de-
stroy her, Israel took the only
defensive action possible. Yet
an Eisenhower administration,
allegedly devoted to the pursuit
OF justice and morality, stood
aside while the hosts of Arab
nationalism, led by a rabble-
rouser, eager to inherit Hit
ler's role, daily masSed on Is
raePs borders. The Egyptians
and their cohorts spoke openly
OF their determination to liuui-
date the one bastion of de-
nlocracy in the Middle East.
Yet when Israel sought to de-
lend her territorial integrity
against marauding hordes, she
was reproached for her repris-
ais. and is branded an agrees
sor. How ironic.
Esther Panitz.
President Eisenhower is to
be commended for the forth
right manner in which he
acted to bring to the. attention
Of the U. N. the crisis in the
Middle East and to stop COM
pletely the shipment of arms
to that area.
Besides. Zionist politics
should have no place in our
own political life which tend to
becloud the real issues and
make no concerted effort to
promote peaceful relations.
One of the big problems of
the Middle East is the present
status of the Arab refugees.
This and other weighty prob
lens must be faced by the U.
N. so that common sense and
reason can prevail and resolve
the differences.
Alfred NJ. Lilienthal, noted
Middle East expert, made these
recommendations for the solu-
ton Of the problems between
the Arabs and Israelis which
made sense:
~ The yielding Of territory
on the part of Israel, with the
cession to Jordan of 296, 900
acres in western GaliIee, now
sparsely populated by Israelis:

WHY We Can't Vote


tai City wonder why they can't
vote. This year over 10000
District residents will stand
aside as excited Americans
vote Ike or Adlai into the
White House. Campaign cries
of your vote counts" are
meaningless to them.
Why, as citizens Of the
United States and residents of
the Capital City, can't they
vote? They receive the vague
answer that there shouldn't be
politics in the Capital. Yet,
all around them outsiders are
busy with politics.
The real answer is that the
founding fathers were so busy
planning the District as the
perfect seat of the new gov
eminent that they forgot to
consider all the political rights
Of the growing group of Ameri-
cans that would live in D. c.
They didn't want any elected
local government in Washing
ton, for it might interfere with
the smooth-running Federal
Government machinery. This
much they considered; but
they didn't consider D. C. resi-
dents political rights in the
Federal Government.
They wrote into the Con-
stitution that Congress would
have supreme lawmaking
power over the District. This
was interpreted in two ways.
First, there should be no other
Congress, no local government;
secondly, D. C. residents should
be politically inactive. Give
them an inch and they'll take
a mile" appeared to be the
fear.
For If D. c. residents voted.
they might elect Congressman
to pressure for local govern
ment, or their vote might pres
sure the President for local
rule.
However, as Washington
grew, protests became louder!
A few important things were
overlooked. D. c. residents
send sons to war, are taxed,
but have no governmental rep
resentation. They are deprived
Of the cornerstone of American
democracy the right to
vote.
AS legislators, citizens and
D. C. residents studied the sit
uation, many problems were
uncovered. These problems are
today's answers to voteless
Washington.
. Is the right to vote a privi-
lege only of States? Or since
Congress has legislative pow
er over the District can 1t
grant this power? Is this
constitutional
. How would voting require
ments be fulfilled. since vot-
ers must be State residents?
. Would the District be di-
vided between Maryland and
Virginia at election time? Or
would this be violation of
the early contract taking
the area from these States?
Q Would the territories push
for voting power, if it were
granted to D. c.? Would this
be a steppingstone for large
cities to legislate for state
hood? How far could this
SNOWFALL?
In 1888 The Evening Star
printed the first bold editorial
on voteless Washington. Eight
elections passed and there was
no action. Questions were piled
upon questions.
1t then became obvious that
only a constitutional amend
ment could straighten this
situation. The amendment
would add new members, rep
resentatives Of the District, to
Congress, and citizens would
cast ballots for President. Con-
gress would continue to be the
legislative authority over the
District.
Eight more elections have
passed since this proposal.
Today. d. c. residents pass
through another voteless cleo
ton because there is no clear
answer TO the problems that
keep them voteless.
