Chicago and New York and to a
esS extent in other cities. This is
lot only shameful but dangerous.
We have Sown to the wind the
doctrine of letting the youngsters
have their way and now we are
reaping the wihrlwind of violence
and vandalism which are threat
ening to destroy our civilization.
We do not believe that the i'm
mortal John Wewey ever intend
ed that his ideas of progressive
education should license the
younger generations to follow
uninhibited their immature urges
and inclinationS. This freedom,
unrestricted freedom, if you please
with which we have clothed the
youth of the present generation
was far from the intent and pur-
pose and goal of the great educa-
tor.
At any rate the current point
of view as regards the educstion
of the youth with its ideals of
freedom uninh;bited, may be a
fine thing in theory but in prac
tice it is working havoc with
minds and morals of the genera
ton of teenagers that the threat
ening to get out of hand as indi-
Gated nv the activities of the vio-
lent lsnd the vandalS. Even our
cemeteries are not immune to the
prawling vandal. Vandalism and
violence in themselves are not as
bad as the state of the things
that brings them to the fore.
These are symptoms of a disre-
s2ect for law and order that may,
if uncurbed, destroy our civili-
cation.

Between The Lines i.
VIOLENCE AND VANDALISM

A terrific wave of violence and
vandalism is sweeping over this
nation. In spite of our fabulous
OUTLAWS for scools and education
we are heading into a situation
that must be relieved if this ma
ton is to endure.
With the slightest provocation
the mob springs into action and
the resources of our police pro-
lection are sorely taxed on far too
many occasions. The ugly situation
that prevailed in Chiccgo is re-
peated entirely too often for things
to be well with the country.
Mobs in this country have en-
joyed many immunities and es-
pecially so where the mobS acted
against the Negro. The immunity
of the Southern mobs activated by
evil designs on Negroes has been
one of the Oppressive facts of
current history.
Although things are getting
better the current outbreaks con-
cerned with staving off integra-
ton are becoming formidable and
menacing and the resources of law
enforcement are becoming more
and more taxed.
From day to day it is difficult
to know when and where the mob
may strike. The mobbists know
that there is certain safety in
numbers and they are tempted to
operate with free hand in the ac-
tivities of the mob.
1t en- hardly be doubted that
the immunitieS hitherto enjoyed
by the mob help to explain the
current wave of vandalism that is
affecting our country. Newspaper
accounts of vandalism have be-
come routine and there are indi-
cations that things are not grow
ing better, but steadily worse.
Churches and schools and libra
ries are nightly feeling the fury
of the vandals.
The latest account that a Ii
brary in New York City had to
be closed on account of the van
dals is stern reminder of what
is at work in every community.
These vandals are roaming our
cities and showing their contempt
for law and order and decency.
If there are respectable citizens
who can abuse the Supreme Court
because they do not like its de-
ciSionS; then the vandal feels that
he can also show his disrespect
for the law by his devilish de-
probation under the cover of
darkness.
When the mob is not ready to
moveeby day the vandals are ready
to move by night and so our
country Is face to face with a.
wave of lawnessness that should
awaken serious concern in those
who would save our nation from
destruction.
Vandalism and violence are be-
coming a major problem Of this
country. What Is even more
alarming Is that the mobs and the
vandalS are being led by our teen
ayers. We are told that gangs are
roaming the streets Of New York
and other cities and are playing
havoc with law and order.
The New York gangs Of teen
ayers did to death scores Of in
nocent persons during 1855 and
will even have more OF a field
day in 1857. When our cities are
afflicted with gangs of young
sters running down and killing
innocent men and won en- for the
mere fun of IL, we are come upon
evil times indeed.
It Is taxing the law enforcement

older adults visiting the Museum
the sight of satin-covered Easter

memories of Z not-too-distant past.
To the children, however, a glove
buttoner and belt shirtwaist clip
are strangely unfamiliar, the old
style spectacles are a source of
amusement, and the large hat pins
(sOme as long as 1877 evoke amaz-

critics; a doll made from clay

of cloth, and a wooden egg-with-

July 4 BoIIod Skipped;
Author Once Took Fifth

The dramatic choral work,
Ballad for Americans" was not
played at the Mcnum e n
Grounds as scheduled last night
following a protest by a patriotic
Organization that the composer
had taken the Fifth Amendment.
Rosario Scibilia. executive d.
rector Of the Catholic War Vet
Grams. said the protest was made
to the Marine Corps early this
week.
1t was based on the fact that
Earl Robinson, who wrote the
music to the l2-minute work,
refused to answer questions put
to him in New York April IL
during a House Un American
Activities investigation into Com
munist influences in the music
world.
The music had been publicized
as the grand finale Of last nights
program preceding the Fourth
OF July fireworks display, and no
public announcement was given
that the piece would be replaced
by The Battle Hymn Of the
Republic" and This Is My
Country"
Today Mai. Albert Schoepper,
Marine Band director, said he
he'd not personally been asked

by any organization not to play
the music.
MY statement is that the
music arrived at noon Wednes-
day, too late for rehearsal and
the orchestration too skinny for
use on quick notice." Mai.
Schoepper said.
1T would not have been fair
to 1t. King LIT. James B. King.
assistant directory to have put it
on under such conditions. I told
this to Mr.. Springman (Fague
Springman, director of the Uni
versity Of Maryland chorus) and
suggested substituting the Battle
Hymn which we have done to-
gether before"
Mr.. Springman said the Mary
land singers. supplemented by
other choristers, had been re-
hearsing the Ballad" without
the accompaniment Of the band
for a week.
when we were told that the
band was not going to play the
ballad, there was nothing for
US to do but change music" Mr..
Springman said.
"The ballad is q big. dramatic
piece. We did 1t about eight
years ago at the Monument
Grounds when President Truman
attended. and did 1t for q week
at the Capitol Theater."
