ously toll In season and out
Of season for a just peace.
In that struggle. as she puts
into the hands Of threatened
peoples material and economic
weapons. this seething world
must be made to know, not
just by our creeds but by our
deeds, that in the pursuit Of
peace America desires nothing
for herself that she does not
desire for all mankind. When
a system such as that Of the
Soviets' discards and denies
all moral force and badly de-
clares that the only morality
is the expediency which brings
victory. 1t follows, as the day
the night, that with her de-
ceit and duplicity and a pre-
ponderance of physical arms
are the decisive factors. We
have Just seen how that works
in the awful carnage Of Hun
gary. Without swords. coerced
patriots who love freedom are
compelled to surrender the
most heavenly thing to the
most hellish forces. A So
called peace dictated by un-
ethical force is the peace Of
slaves.
But that other force to
which the future belongs and
which can never be banished
from any real peace table is
glimpsed in It's invincibility
in that ringing sentence of
President Eisenhower's inau-
gural address which is satu-
rated with confidence in spirit

Shrinking Bonds

Representative Wright Pat
man, according to The Star
of January l. proposes legis-
lation to protect holders of
Government obligations against
a decline in the market price
below par value. He would do
this by allowing these obliga-
tions to be used in payment
Of taxes at par. It is true that
certain Government bonds are
Currently selling below par.
However, such bonds are large
ly held by banks, insurance
companies and other financial
institutions that derive their
income largely from interest.
Inasmuch as rising interest
rates have caused the decline
in bond prices one should not
feel too overweight with
sympathy for these large in
vestors.
However, ! wish to call at
tention to some other holders
Of U. S. Government bonds.
namely, wage earners, small
businessmen, professional men
and others Of moderate fran
ciel means who have been en-
couraged to put their savings
in so-called Savings Bonds.
These bonds can be turned
in at any time for the pur
chase price plus interest
therefore, q purchaser can
always get his dollars back
plus earnings. But this doesn't
make everything all right.

The Presidents notable Sec
ond inaugural address might
we'll be called 1.-THE peace
America will buy" IN capital
letters. that the whole looking
and listening world could read
there was one word attached
to peace-a word illumined by
the radiance Of moral integrity
JUST. The alternative to
peace is frightening to con-
template. But even worse than
war at its worst is to sell moral
values. The United States Is
making it more plain than
ever that these imponderable
but all-potent values which are
her very life are not for sale
at any price. There is q realm
in which she will not comrro-
mise no matter what the ma
terial consequences may he.
There is nothing more impor-
tant than that Russia and
company should clearly under
stand that.
In the maintenance and de-
Tense Of the fundamental creed
which affirms the sovereignty
Of Almighty God and the dig
nifty Of finite man made in
Gods image, we will not be
browbeaten. The only peace
that interests the United States
of America. and the peace for
which she pasSionately yearns.
is a just peace. How far of
such q peace is in this divided
world is suggested by the pros
titution of words as used in the
inverted and perverted die
tionary Of the Reds. What we
call tyranny they call a peo-
pies democracy. See Hungary.
What they call an election we
call coercion. See Poland. What
they call liberation we call regi-
mentation. See Czechoslovakia.
What they call peace we call
appeasement. And as the late
Senator Vandenberg used to
warn, always appeasement Of
evil is surrender on the INSTALL
ment plan" The only peace in
which the Soviets are inter-
ested, with their sinister dream
Of world conquest, is the ulti-
mate surrender of those who
dare oppose their vile pur-
poses. The only arrangement
for the lion and the lamb to
lie down together. to which
they will agree, is for the lamb
to be inside the lion. Against
that global catastrophe Amer
lea now is pledging her re-
sources, material and moral.
and her sacred honor.
In talking about peace there
is nothing to be gained and
everything to be lost in not
realizing the ugly fact that
there is loose in today's world
a conspiracy so monstrous
that a normal person can
scarcely believe 1t exists. We
get nowhere in this paramount

free" Then came words that
like the shot at Concord echoed
around the world, as the
nations leader pointed to the
only peace that the United
States will purchase. I'VE pray
that we may preserve the right
without self-righteousness.
that we may know unity with
out conformity, that we may
seek peace but more important.
peace with justice. The cult.
walton of understanding and
friendship with enslaved peo-
pies now behind the iron and
bamboo curtains is an impor-
tant factor in the cultivation
Of a just peace. But when we
face men who have put tht
state on the throne instead OF
God, we cannot conquer them
by kindly examples and friend
ly smiles. The idea that peace
demands that calloused devil
try be allowed at will to
trample righteousness into the
mire whenever it is powerful
enough. while the forces OF
good stand impotently by, is a
tragic trayesty of Justice and
judgment and the base be-
trayal of freedom. There is a
sword bathed In heaven-and
America and those who stand
allied with her in the cause of
freedom must not sheath that
sword. At the same time we
must strengthen the. moral
forces Of the free nations.
This is the day for America
to bring the so-called religi-
GUS renaissance centering in
the churches to vitality affect
the personal lives of our people
in their attitudes, in their
habits, in their day-by-day
devotions. 1t is a genuine
moral renaissance which alone
will At the democracies to seek
peace and pursue it and win

doom Of the ancient prophecy
Your covenant with death
shall be annulled, your agree

your refuge Of lies shall be
swept away, the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it," And as
we face the momentous ques-
ton Of the cost Of q true peace
let us listen to the valedictory
message Of Woodrow Wilson
to his fellow countrymen: Our
civilization can never be re-
deemed materially until it is
redeemed spiritually. 1t must
be saturated with the spirit Of
Jesus Christ" And that Christ
warns against crying peace,

THE CANE OF POLITICS
Presidents Program and Congress
BY FRANK r. KEN

BILE to command united OPP
position from the Democrats.
The best example of this is
presented in the Middle East
resolution, for the passage Of
which he now asks. Nearly
every observer here believes
that when the showdown vote
is taken in the House, 1t will
be adopted with more than a
little Democratic support. And
that Senate action after con-
siderable debate will end the
same way. Already Demo-
cratic Leader Lyndon johnson
OF the Senate and Democratic
Speaker Sam Rayburn Of the
House have given the Eisen-
hover resolution their indorse-
ment.
Matter Of Influence
There Is reason to believe
that the pattern in this case
will be followed on other-not
all. but most-issues presented
by the President during the
rest Of the session. This, by
no means, implies that there
will not be vigorous oppose
ton; that there will be no
administration defeats and
disappointments in the next
few months: that there will
not be loud and angry voices
raised, particularly in the SEN
ate. Presence in that body of
such garrulous and furious
men as Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota, Wayne Morse Of
Oregon, Joseph Mccarthy of
Wisconsin and Paul Douglas Of
Illinois insures that. \ Add to
these the two recently de-
defeated Democratic candi-
dates, Adlai Stevenson and
Estes Kefauver, who were 80
convinced they were going to
win that they have been UNI
able since to refrain from
sticking their tongues out at
the President whenever oppor-
unity affords.
What all this means is that.
while neither of these GENTLE
men wants to cooperate with
Mr.. Eisenhower on anything,
neither Of them has any real
influence on Democratic mem
berS. It Is also true that
neither the Americans for
Democratic Action nor Walter
Reuther is disposed toward
cooperation or support. But
while it is too much to say
that these have no influence
in Congress, it is not too much
to say that their combined in
f1uence. so far as consistent
opposition to the administra-
ton is concerned, is not nearly
as great a deterrent as the
thought which every politician
in both parties constantly has
in his mind-to wit, that Ike
carried Al Of the 48 States in
the Union on November 6.
When it comes to opposing
the Presidents nonpartisan
program or attributing either
weakness or wickedness to
him. that is a SOLDERING refiec.
ton for any Democrat who
has to be reelected.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-27

AS ne begins his second term
as President, 1t Is clear Mr..
Eisenhower has certain dis
advantages that may interfere
with his program in both
foreign and domestic fields.
The chief Of these, Of course.
is that the Democrats are in
control Of both branches Of
Congress. In the House, but
particularly the Senate. this
Democratic majority is exceed
ingly slender. However, it
seems stable enough and prob
ably will last through the ses-
sion.
What this means is that on
every controversial piece Of
legislation the President not
only must get fairly solid back
ing from his own party but at
least q few votes from the OPP
position. Concededly, this is a
situation that could become
extremely awkward, even des-
tructive Of administration pol
icies. Also, 1t could damagingly
affect the national interests.
However. those best informed
as to the facts do not believe
that anything as bad as this
is going to happen. On the
contrary. there is pretty firm
conviction that in this session
the President will get a COCO
deal more without a party ma
jority than he got in the last
session when he had a party
majority.
Convincing Reasons
Those who hold this BELIEF
present some rather convincing
reasons. One is that, being
completely debarred from again
becoming a presidential can
didate, Mr.. Eisenhower can
hardly be accused Of playing
politics or Offering purely parti-
san proposals. Under the cir
cumStances. there can be no
excuse for accusing or suspect
ing him Of any Interior or
selfish motive. He may make
mistakes, and. of course, there
will be room for honest differ
enceS OF opinion, but certainly
1t will be difficult to charge him
this time with trying to pro-
mote the interests of any ia
vored class or group or indi-
vidual. including himself.
Naturally. politics and hu-
man nature being what they
are. there will be some who
try to do exactly that. But it
does not make sense and it is
not likely to carry conviction.
No one seriously entertains
the idea that anything Mr..
Eisenhower does in this his
last term will be inspired by
an unworthy or partisan i'm
pulse, and his political oppo-
nents have regretfully aban-
doned that effort. They are
thus largely confined to at
lacks upon members of his
cabinet or upon his policies.
: Here. too. the nonpartisan-
ship of the President in mat
tiers with which Congress must
deal is such that it is impossi-

only serious casualty that
happened in connection with
the fire was the loss of the two
horses of the hose wagon Of

The old Long Bridge was
closed December is, since

figures apply to the daily

days :"
Dreamer
A man with big ideas moved
into the Chicago weather bu-
reau a half q century ago. On
January "a. 1907, The Star
reported. in a story from that
city: Prof. Frank H. Bigelow,
who is taking Prof. Cox's place
at the Chicago station of the
United States Weather Blu
reau, has been working for
SO years in an effort to
make long range predictions,
and he believes the time is
at hand when a yearly fore
cast will be made an assured
fact Prof. Bigelow's theory
is based on the action of the
the sun and its effects on the
weather. 1t has largely to do
with the number and size of
sun spots He believes most
OF the weather changes are
due to the suns action !"

Some days it doesn't pay to
get out Of bed, and Senator
Mulkey Of Oregon must have
felt that way so years ago.
On February 2, 1907, The Star
reported: Senator Mulkey of
Oregon, who was sworn in
Wednesday to serve until
March 4. the shortest term
on record, was presented to-
day with another record for
brevity. He was made chair
man of the committee on lex
animation and disposition OF
documents" and allowed to
hold the Craftsmanship just
Is minutes, when he was de-
posed. Mr.. Hale presented the
resolution making the ap-
pointment, and the Senate
agreed to it without discus
sion. A quarter of an hour
later Mr.. Hale asked to have
the vote by which the resolu-
ton was adopted reconsidered.
This was done. Mr.. Hale then
withdrew the resolution, also
without explanation, and Mr..
Mulkey was thereby Invested of
his Craftsmanship. On inquiry
1t was developed that the
: Craftsmanship in question had
been promised to Senator Will
liam Alden Smith, who may

Secretary
The Smithsonian Institu-
tons board Of regents held a
surprise election so years ago,
but apparently it was q sur
prise only in its timing. The
Star, on January 20, 1907, re-
ported: Charles D. Walcott,
now the director Of the Geolog-
ical Survey, was today elected
secretary Of the Smithsonian
in succession to the late Prof.
S. P. Langley. It was not
definitely known when the re-
gents met that there would be
an election. 1t was generally
expected that Mr.. Walcott
would be selected for the place
II he could be secured, but
there had been rumors that
the President had put his foot
down and said he wanted Mr..
Walcott to continue in the &C.
oligical Survey. where he was
needed, and that his name
would have to be passed up for
that reason. However, it is I'M
derstood that the brakes were
taken Of at the White House
and that the selection was
made in accordance with the
original desire Of the regents,
who wanted to get a man who
was not only a recognized
scientist, but a man of decided
executive ability. !"
