1t was moved that the club pay
one dollar to Werner King for

Target: Charity Con- Men

The House District Committee, by
unanimously approving the pending
charity rackets" bill, has taken proper
cognizance Of a pressing problem in the
local charity field. AS The Star has
pointed out in it's news and editorial
columns, promoters of phoney charity"
patriotic" and religious" collections
have been preying on unwary citizens
here to the tune of about 100000 year.
Many Of these racketeers have been
driven out of New York and other States
by laws requiring registration of and
fun accounting by fund solicitors. The
lack of any restrictive legislation in WASH
ington has been an invitation to these
constituencies "con" men. The proposed
registration and exposure law would pro-
tect the public against particularly

Jordon's CIouded Future

For most OF the SO years of its his
tory the presently designated Hashemite
Kingdom Of Jordan has been living on
the brink Of death. Possessed of relatively
meager natural resources and little in
dustry, 1t has had scant hope Of eco
nomic viability. Much OF 1t nomadic
population has been contemptuous both
OF agriculture and urban occupations.
indifferent to national unity and polit-
ical authority. Under British mandate
after breakup Of the Ottoman En-
pire following World War I and granted
political independence in 1916, the
country has depended for nearly one
third OF its gross national income on
British subSidy-now discontinued. Al
most from the first day OF its independ-
ence, 1t has figured in two broadly similar
plans for federation with one or more of
its Arab neighbors.
One was the Greater Syria project
by which Jordan, Syria, Iraq and possibly
Lebanon would have been joined under
the rule of the late King Abdullah of
Jordan. The other, known as the Fertile
Crescent plan, would have united some
or all Of the same countries under greater
influence Of the Iraqi throne. Both plans
had their advocates, as well as their
opponents, but political jealousies more
than economic ones have been the insur-
mountable obstacles. Since the death OF
Abdullah in 1851, Jordan has lacked a
strong government. It's present one is
coalition leaning toward close association
with Egypt and frankly expressing favor
for federation with Syria. More conserva-
tive elements, out Of power, still favor
federation with Iraq. Partition has been
mentioned as an alternative, part OF the
country to be annexed by Syria and part
by Iraq.
The tide Of unrest and OF shifting
influences in the Middle East makes 1t
likely that some variation Of these
plans will become reality in the not
too distant future.

planes and his crews already know where
they are going, how to get there and
what to do when they arrive. Day and
night they have been flying intercon-
tinental missions, experimenting with
new tactics and testing new planes and
operational procedures. The Job has been
a tough one, done the tough way, be-
cause the eventual responsibilities it
comeS-will be tough.
Named now to be Vice Chief of STAFF
OF the Air Force. General LeMay will
have opportunity to apply his thorough
ness and his insistence on perfection to
much of the operational details of the

tunity, also, to present his views on Air
Force and defense policy. It is good
time to add his dedicated strength to

Cross in the Window

Our sacred Easter season is
fast approaching. Naturally
our thoughts turn TO the cross
OF Christ.
So why shouldn't we ask
each Christian family to put a
cross In the window during
Holy Week, or at least on Good
Friday?
Let us make the cross a
symbol Of Easter as the tree
and the star are symbols Of
Christmas. The cross belongs
to all Christians. And we must
be Christ's living ambassadors
and spiritual interpreters. II
we all let Him come into our
hearts, this awful darkness Of
war and our other problems
will disappear.
I've often been asked where
can we buy crosses?" II you
cannot flnd what you want in
church bookshops-make your
own. I have found that people
like to do just that. Many
church groups are making a
project Of cutting out crosses
and distributing them TO the
congregation on Palm Sunday.

'Get-It-Done GUY

Many colorful descriptions have been
applied to General Curtis LeMay who
for nearly 10 years has been the hard
driving boss of the Strategic Air Com
mand Most of them fit him, but perhaps
none better than the relatively simple des-
ignation Of being the Air Forces number

Force throughout his % years of service.
In early World War II, he was one of
the first to lead the Bits into combat
over Europe and the tactics employed
successfully in massive daylight bombing
raids we're credited largely to him. Later,
1t was General LeMay who devised the
medium latitude tactics that increased
effectiveness of the B-29s over Japan.
The end of hot war did not mean the
end Of tough jobs. He was chief of our
Air Force in Europe when the Russians
tried to seal Off Berlin. The effort failed

LeMay has brought into the command

Congress and Welfare

In reviewing the legislative
record Of Congress for promot-
ing the general welfare OF the
American people. I am of the
firm conviction that Congress
has sunk to negative parlia-
mentarism like that OF the ma
tional legislative bodies Of Ger
many just before Hitler took
Office In 1898.
I truly hope the congression-
nj lawmakers will return to
morality that is very much
needed for constructive action
appropriate in sane society.
Individual responsibility for
the general welfare must be
restored In our great Nation.
Only then will the present
occupant In the White House
see a new outlook on life.

Kodor and the Hunqnriuns

The State Department has been prop
erly blunt and biting in its comment on
the recent Moscow communique in which
puppet Premier Kadar joined his Soviet
masters in crude effort to rewrite the
history of last falls Hungarian uprising
against tyranny. According to the COM
munique. the uprising was Fascist
counter-revolution" inspired and un-
leashed by American "imperialiStS,' and
only the brave and noble "fraternal aid"
of the Russian army preserved the coun-
try's freedom and independence"
In reply to this brazen upending of
the truth, this transmutation of reality
into the exact opposite of itself, the State
Department has paid its compliments
to Mr.. Kadar and his reasonable Buda-
pest colleagues (whose regime is run by
telephone from Moscow by f1inging the
lie back into their teeth. 1t has done
SO by declaring that they have again
falsif1ed the record" in a futile attempt
to cover up what all the world knows
namely, that the Hungarian revolt for
freedom was absolutely spontaneous, that
the people of the country were over

crushed, and crushed with unSpeakable
brutality, solely because of the inter-
vention of naked Soviet armed force.
AS for the aftermath, our Government
has gone on to declare, with full iuSti-
flcation, that the Kadar clique has faith
fully carried out the Kremlin's orders
by taking an ever-growing number of
cruel steps toward the complete sup
preston of all human rights and lib
critics in Hungary. They mark reversion
to some of the worst practices of the
Stalinist terror !. :"
The Hungarians themselves, in Buda-
pest and elsewhere, have a bitter little
joke which they tell to each other about
the popularity of their government"
Only about 1899, 900 of them, they say,
oppose and despise that ruling group,
while all the rest of them ardently sup
port and love it. The point is, of course,
that the country's total population is
barely 10 million. Nothing could serve
as better commentary on the con-
temptible and alien nature of the Kadar
regime.

Labor Bosses Ethics Code Examined

Some weeks hence, David
Beck. who is being denounced
properly so-all over the
country as a corruptionist and
a scoundrel, is scheduled to
be thrown out of the ALL
CIO combination of which the
Transfers Union which he
heads is the largest unit--and
otherwise scorched, PANIED
penalized and held up to scorn
and contempt.
A great deal will be said and
written-and none of it favor
able-after Mr.. Beck's national
colleagues of the unions and
the courts get through with
him. VERY little skin," as the
saying goes. will be left on
his hide" At least such is the
expectation. In brief. Mr.. Beck
is slated for the exceedingly
unsavory role Of the horrible
example" and all the other
labor bosses. big and little in
the union rackets are about to
beat their breasts and proclaim
the purity of their hearts, while
they swat the unfortunate Mr..
Beck who got caught. The
whole game Of the present
labor boss, like the moderate
Republicans" is to appear
honest and reasonable, even
noble. OF course, very few of
them are. which makes their
so-called code of ethics" more
or less a joke.
Two Cases Recalled
In the case of George Meany,
the present president of the
AFL-CIO, this would seem a
tragic joke, indeed. Because,
for Mr.. Meany to lambaste and
denounce Mr.. Beck for VIOLA
ting the code of ethics" so
piously erected by himself and
his exceedingly unveracious and
truculent friend and colleague,
Walter Reuther, would prob
ably be the worst example Of
false pretense and hypocrisy
in the whole Of American his
tory. They would become the
prize Pecksniffs on record. For
it does not appear possible that
in 10 or IL years, either in the
ranks of union labor or among
professional politicians. the
cases of Joseph S. Fay and
James Bove, one a president
of the International Union of
Operating Engineers, the other

tional Hold Carriers. Builders
and Common Laborers Union

the case, said that well over
81 million had been paid on

And in reply to a plea for leni-
ency declared - Both these
men are ruthless and greedy
thieves and their long and
greedy conspiracy. from 1886
to 1943, is a record full Of overt
acts"
Such was the view of these

two powerful trade union
leaders-Fay being the more
powerful of the two-taken by
the sentencing Judge and the
prosecuting attorney, both men
OF proven ability, honor and
experience. On April 8, 1945,
each was sentenced to from
8l2 years to Is years. After
their appeals were rejected
they were both confined in one
OF New York States peniten-
tiaries. Almost Immediately Mr..
Fay attained greater degree
OF leniency than any other
prisoner previously known.
His friends gathered weekly
IN his rooms at the peniten-
tiary and he carried on not
only his trade-union activities
but his political activities as
well. Among his most regular
callers was George Meany, now
head of the AFL-CIO combina-
ton, which is all set under
Mr.. Meany's direction to kick
Mr.. Beck out of his organiza-
ton. Westbrook Pegler recently
repeated that week after week
this Mr.. Meany, now the out
standing labor figure Of them
all, sneaked into the jail OF
this convicted thief and crook

admittedly on close and init.
mate terms with him.
How Would Beck React?
Eventually 0argely through
Mr.. Pegler) this state of af-
fairs caught the attention of
the Governor of the State,
one Thomas E. Dewey. Gov.
Dewey at once took steps
to break up those weekly, lit
tie conferences and ordered
the lordly Mr.. Fay transferred
to another penitentiary, Dam
nemora, run on far different
lines and known in the New
York underworld as Siberia"
There Mr.. Fay remained, quite
unhappily, it is said, until
1856. 1t was reported that Mr..
Fay not only did not like the
change but did not understand
it. Then the Governor, having
changed from Republican to
Democratic, friends of Mr.. Fay
again got busy in his behalf.
Last year he was freed by the
new State Board of Parole, APP
pointed, it is believed, by Gov.
Averell Hartman. 1t is said
conditions of his parole are
that he shall engage in neither
political nor union activities.
What do they expect him to do
at his age and with his record?
One wonders. One also won-
ders if Mr.. Beck is kicked out
and his name made equivalent
with a dirty word in the higher
ethical labor circles just how
Mr.. Beck would take it. Would
he not seek reprisals against
his former ethical colleagues?
He would be more than human
not to. And he might thereby
benefit the country and labor
as a whole. too.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Petals and Pearls
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

In the city beautiful. which
belongs to all America, now
that April's here. the famous
towering trees have witnessed
an international marriage.
Petals and pearls have been
joined in an enduring partner
ship. In all the treasure chest
OF nature there is no loneliness
to surpass blossoms and pearls.
Spring in lavish profusion
scatters its blooms until COM
mon bushes are on fire with
the eternal and ordinary trees
are sacraments Of the holiness
Of beauty.
Spring is not only miracu-
lous. 1t Is miracles by the
wholesale. A lover Of natures
wonders asked sadly as his
enraptured eyes gazed on the
miracle once more. How many
more springs can I hope to
see-five or six perhaps-the
miracle Of the earth reclad.
the vision of splendor and
loneliness which tongue has
never yet described, is again
set before me-" That Is indeed
the grateful response of every
normal soul. glad for the tint
OF the tiniest flower. Spring
is the sure antidote for blight
ing boredom which. alas, often
saps the wonder Of hfe's dewy
morning. We are apt to grow
tired Of some things which once
captured our interest. But
when spring comes with bound
ing, bursting. risen life, If one
is tired of daffodils he is
through. He Is more dead than
those whose names are in to-
days obituary list when a
flower knocks upon his heart
in vain. That is exactly what
Teresa Hooley had in mind
when she sings:
II I should euer war so old
and weary
That. tchen spring comes,
my heart mould fail to
thrill
To the first white windfoiper
making in the copice
or the tossing gold OF the
first dd6odil-
II so she pleads that her
physical existence might be
brought to an end with life
in my limbs and grey death in
my soul"
Now truly there is one glory
Of the blossoms and another
glory Of the pearls. But pearls
are not flung about in wild
abandon. Their beauty must
be sought. They are fashioned
by q strange alchemy under
fathoms Of concealing waters.
Across the centuries men have
risked direst dangers to search
out their hiding places be-
meath the waves. where the
precious substance is held
firmly within the vitals of
shelly creatures. Up from the
depths come the hardy divers
with rounded things of ex-
quisite beauty touched with
an enhancing lustre which is
its own secret. But that ra-
diancy is now on the way to
grace milady's neck or arms
or to adorn some royal ciadem.
No wonder the myriad-minded

creature, encased in its hard
ened house. can take an irrita-
ton and transmute it into a
gem Of irrideScent glory. But
within recent years has come
the cultured" pearl industry
with its center in Japan. That
does not mean that man can
manufacture pearls. He has
only learned the secret of how
to pierce the sensitive organ
ism Of the bivalve--how to
manipulate the sword with
which to wound. Then out OF
the hurt the oyster produces
a pearl. The magic recipe
which starts a pearl was dis
covered in our own lifetime
by a japanese named Mkt
moto. In vain Thomas Edison
labored long to find the pro-
cess which would result in so
rich a deposit. as in the depth
OF the sea a cash could be
turned into a gem. But strange
to say, while the japanese
finally won the quest. they
can only do 1t with the aid OF
sharp shells found only In our
own Mississippi River. So now
1t comes TO pass by a gracious
gesture from beauteous Nip
pom which gave the cherry
trees more than three-score
years ago is added a fabulous
crown Of pearls to bedeck the
fair brow Of the yearly queen
Of the blossom festival. Hence
forth, for multitudes as by
the quiet Potomac will be un-
yelled when spring trips north
a picture Of inefable beauty
"a vision Of petals and pearls.
There are the trees with rain
bow ribbons caught in their
hair and over spreading arms
a -flowered robe delicate
as a brides veil. pure as lus-
trous white pearls. Mirroring
lake and fiower-fringed river
are trysting places where blue
and blossoms meet and mingle
and where the sky itself seems
in bloom. From the gardened
land whence came the trees
America gratefully accepts the
pearls to grace the tresses OF
the queen chosen by lot to
ascend the throne as. sur

worthy symbol Of winsome
young womanhood.
AS the blossoms speak to us
OF the surging tides of return
ing life climbing to a soul in
leaf and flower. there is felt
throughout our very beings the
throbbing life Of which our
veins are scant. AS one all
atingle with the vision Of a
waking world exclaims, In
clapping our hands at the
gliding Of the daffodils and
the coming of the feathered
songsters we are bearing wit
ness to the love of living. We
are giving three cheers for
life ITSELF"
And does not all that April
is saying and meaning and
bringing lead us through the
poisoning boughs to see a
gentle figure who said and
says. II am come that We
might have life and have 1t
more abundantly."

One in vestured whiteneSs in
the days when in the flesh He
was here among men walking
in sandalled feet along the
lake shore, paused to teach,
and in one hand was a flower
and in the other a pearl. He
spoke Of the blossoms BREATH
taking beauty in its many
colored robes surprising royal
attire, and then in the beauty
of the lilies He held before
them a petalled miracle. He
told Of the kingdom for whose
coming He has taught the
ages to pray. He called it
The Reign Of His Father,
Gods order Of brotherhood
and love and service. Then.
thinking of the lure some
great and famous jewel has
always exercised with q subtle
fascination on mems questing
minds. He said, The realm of
heaven is like a trader in
search Of fine pearls. When
he finds a single pearl of high
price he is off to sell all his
possessions in order to buy It,"
And so, when It's cherry
blossom time in Washington,
we find ourselves with the en-
tranced multitudes gazing with
awed rapture at the rosy tun-
nels as we hear Him say,
consider the fiowers"-and
then as there is lifted up the
gorgeous pearls. again our
ears are His as He whispers,
Think of the one pearl Of
great price," and thus bowling
In reverence at the vistas of
wonder and at the reaches
and ranges Of splendor we
listen to the parable OF the
petals and the pearls.
