Empty Enterprise

An editorial In The Star
indorses the campaign to
bring the U.S.S. Enterprise
to Washington as q naval
relic. It is unfortunate that
your editorial writer did not
investigate more fully the
history Of preserving ships for
this purpose.
Experience as well as cost
warns against trying to re-
capture and hold the past in
this manner. Several years
ago a national weekly had q
photograph Of a concession
stand on the quarterback Of
the battleship Texas, now
moored as a relic in Houston
Ship Channel. The Oregon,
returned to the Navy in
World War II by the citizens
Of that State; ended up q
rusty wreck at a Pacific base.
Her mast was returned and
now serves as q flagstaff for
Portland harbor, q SUFFICIENT
and proper memorial to q
great ship. An advertising
agency has been retained in
an effort to preserve the
Constellation in Baltimore,
and another group in Phila-
delphia is trying to save the
Olympia. The Hartford, after
sinking at her dock in Nor
folk Naval Shipyard. had to
be taken to sea and burned.
None Of the original Consti-
tuition remains in the vessel
that bears her name.
While these diverse CAM
paigns to save old ships are
going on. an effort is being
made to build a proper me-
mortal to the Navy and Ma
rine Corps In the form Of Q
football stadium in Annap-
oils. In this memorial among
the living traditions Of the
Naval Academy, the great
records Of all these ships can
be flttingly preserved. There
they can enrich our future
Navy and add their contribu-
ton to our national security
in these trying days.
The men Of the Enterprise
have every right to keep her
deeds and theirs ever fresh in
the minds Of their country
men. But preserving the
dead hulk Of their once proud
ship is q poor way Of doing
so. 1t Is my humble sugges-
ton that they will do it bet.
ter with q prominent memo
rial in the new stadium. This
stadium will be alive with the
spirit Of the future Navy. The
contribution of the Enter
prise and her men to that
new Navy will always be
evident.
Admiral Burke, Chief Of
Naval Operations, said re-
Gently at the commissioning
Of a ship, "She's good be-
cause Of the people in her.
Without them she is an inert
mass Of steel" The major
ity Of Americans may better
understand the remark of
another citizen. aptly If ir-
reverently commenting on all
this effort to save old ships,
you can't preserve a short
stop after the baseball has
gone out Of him."

'Pondoro's Box

1t is pathetic to read Of
the satisfaction expressed by
Southern congressman on
the limitation of the sane
tons provided by the civil
rights bill to voting rights.
The crucial part Of the bill
Is the opening Of another
Pandora's box Of troubles
through the creation Of a
new agency, which the
NAACP can manipulate to
its hearts content to COM
pei national recognition and
enforcement Of civil rights"
such as the control Of the
renting Of privately owned
apartments and houses, now
being agitated in the State
Of New York. Even though
such rights may be strictly
State or local matters, the
recent Supreme Court deci-
sion on the indignation Of
schools, also a purely State
matter. throws the whole
field Of social relations open
to Federal regulation. The
newly approved agency will.
Of course, expand to have its
own FBI for searching out
attractions Of its pronuncia-
mentos. The only hope re-
naming is the slight one
that Brownell does not select
Anna Rosenberg TO head the
new bureau.
A clear sign Of a totali-
tartan regime is compulsion
applied to social or civil
rights" relations; 1t certainly
is not democracy to punish
those who wish to be free TO
associate in groups Of their
choosing. Evolutionists recog-
nize that progress rests on
freedom Of association as
individuals naturally will,
just as animals develop into
superior species through
natural selection. Enforced
tntegration can only result
IN . leveling 10 . common

The Crafty KremIin

Harold Stassen before re-
turning to the disarmament
talks in London said that
he was neither optimistic
nor pesSimistic but Just
realistic in his attitude on
the disarmament talks.
This seems to be the only
correct attitude in dealing
with the Soviets. since they
consider negotiations and
treaties to be nothing but
tactical moves, directed to-
ward gaining time they
need for winning the de-
cisive material and arms SUI
premacy during the lengthy
period" Of the so-called CO.
existence which has to end
with the final Communist
victory all over the world.
Lenin coined the slogan:
Capitalism Is war" He
traced the zig-zag road Of
Communist strategy and tao
tics TO win the world for
communism. The present
collective leadership Of the
Kremlin proclaim at any oc-
casion that they shall never
deviate from Lenin's teach
ings.
When Communists talk
about peace, they mean their
peace" And Communist
peace is piece by piece" Of
the free world. "Only when
we overthrow completely,
defeat and appropriate the
bourgeoisie"- teache Lenin
-"in the entire world :.
wars win become impossible.
According to Stain. Peace
will become a reality only
when the Imperialism will be
destroyed" Communists de-
spise paciflsts. They reject
pacifism, finding that every
war is merely a continuation
Of politics by other means"
denin).
For the Soviets, disarma-
ment means disarming the
free world. The Communist
slogan, as Lenin teaches,
must be: "Arming the pro-
letariat in order to defeat,
appropriate and disarm the
bourgeoisie.'
A disarmament agreement
will not prevent the Soviets
from using civil wars for
their planned world con-
quest. In general, the Sow
lets will not hesitate to break
any treaty. Lenin teaches:
I'm war never tie your hands
with the considerations Of
Formally. 1t is ridiculous
not TO know that a treaty
is the means Of gaining
strength" 4.

Near East History

Much confusion exists
among writers regarding the
racial composition Of the in
habitants Of the Near East.
but the answer is rather
simple. Only two races are
involved. Long before 5000
BIC. the entire region from
Iran through Mesopotamia
and Palestine, to and includ-
ing the Mediterranean basin.
had been populated wholly
by the homogeneous Medi-
terranean Aryan Drown
white) race. originally from
India. They we're not Semites,
who are separately identified
later in Genesis 1922 as the
Elamites northeast Of Baby
lon. the people Of Asshur AS
syrians), those Of Arphaxad
(Babylonians). those Of Lud
CPalestinians), and those Of
Aran (Syrians). These Sem
ties were invading tribes Of
the Turkish Turanian (yel-
low-red) race from Western
Turkistan eastern Scythia),
as is well established in his
tory.
OF course. many different
dialects had evolved among
the Mediterranean people
during the thousands of years
before the arrival Of the
first Turks. the Freshmen
ians represented mainly by
the Assyrians) about 1900
BIC. Over the next $500 years
the latter expanded from
Babylonia over Syria to Alex
andretta Bay and down into
the Palestine hills. They were
the first to navigate into the
Atlantic Ocean and were the
ancestors Of the Basque peo-
pie. About 1900 BIC. the next
Turkish tribe. the Sumerians,
came from Turkistan and in
vaded and settled IN Baby
lonia. pushing the earlier
Turks westward. Those
Mediterranean Aryans who
did not become subjects
Of these Turks moved north
ward into Turkey, eastward
into the Arabian peninsula,
westward to the Coast, and
southwark to Egypt. The
Phoenicians. Philistines, and
Arabians thus were Aryans,
and the Akkadians and Chal-
deans may have been Aryan
invaders of Babylonia. Many
different dialects also evolved
among these Turkish people.
The Turkish Hittites (Arme-
nians) from Western Turks
tan settled in Turkey about
$500 BIC.
Thus. the assertion that the
Semites originated in the
Arabian peninsula is wholly
untenable with the historical
facts, both secular and bibli-
cal.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRAcEWELL

there was nothing. That was
left for the older players, the
professionals.
Even In college glee clubs
which boasted Of q mandolin
club there was seldom any
real dance music used.
Church groups. and others,
before whom gIee clubs per-
formed. did not take too
kindly to strict dance music.
Temp Jones learned his
mandolin lessons from books
called methods"
There was . mandolin
method, Q guitar method. and
80 on, a. well as collections
Of popular songs Of the day.
A small boy, By being dill
gent at his self-imposed
music lessons. could keep up
with musical tradition.
The beauty Of it was that
In time he invariably began
to branch out, and soon came
to the mature works Of the
composers Of great melodies.
These were, Of course, the
German. French and Italian
composers who created the
fine works Of the European
stage.
Here one ran into melodies
still played and sung.
It was no small achieve.
ment to learn all the arias
Of Bizet's Carmen" with the
aid Of = mandolin.
To do this, one had to be
able to read both the treble
and bass clef, and to trans.
pose, in q very real sense.
1t led. in Jones' case, to a
small attempt, not too sue
cessful, but not really un.
successful. to compose music.
He still has, in an album.
the songs he wrote then, and
in humming them over the
other day, he decided that
they really are not bad, after
all.
Such a man, we might add,
cannot ever be a musical Il.
literate. as many are today,
even collectors of HIN discs,
sometimes.
He knows the rudiments
Of music, has played music,
and above all has entered
into the spirit Of the
musically great.
He had escaped the snob-
berry Of music. and is not
afraid Of the small.
In this way he preserves
his musical soul for the really
great, and at the same time
has a natural affection for
the truly simple.
The life he lives in this art
has been saved forever from
banality.

Every now ana tnen some
one passes out Of this world
who has left q legacy Of q
fine popular song.
These men have not died.
In the usual sense. Their
gift saves them from oblivion.
Hence no one should sneer
at popular music, - some
unfortunately do.
Beethoven. the great mas
ter, utilized folk songs, which
are really nothing more than
popular tunes.
Every listener has . diff
ferent approach TO such
music. He may take 1t SER
iously, IS an art form. or
he may just hum and whistle,
beginning as Q child.
School children have Q fine
approach Of their own. One
Of their short songs Is easily
applied to the daily life.
Much as q calypso singer
bases Q song on the life
around him. so q child may
sing, II found the kitty, !

ously home.
Templeton Jones recalls
with pleasure his own musical
career.
It began at about the age
Of 10 years, and ended many
years ago. but the memory Of
it is sweet.
He took up, as they say.
the mandolin, that humble
instrument Of many uses.
It is convenient. easily
tuned, and easily learned, up
to Q certain point. From
there on, one may become
Q master.
Even today, the use Of this
instrument is confined to q
touch, now and then, in SYM
phony work.
Jones never aspired that
far.
He was q melody man..
purely.
Instinctively he yearned
for q tune.
At first he never heard
anything against the tune,
as such. The teachers, in
the old days. confined them
selves to teaching aspiring
youth how to play marches.
waltzes, and novelty num-
bers, as they were called.
The height Of fancy was
reached with numbers from
popular musical comedies of
the day. These usually con-
sisted Of an arrangement

Of the tunes from q musical

A far-wandering relict Of
the great coniferous forests
which covered much Of the
West a half million years
ago soon may become a COM

greater part Of the country.
1t is showing many ideal
characteristics for this use,
say tree specialists Of the
Department Of Agriculture's
National Arboretum who now
are experimenting with sew

The story Of this tree is
one Of the modern romances
Of botany. It is the meta
sequoia, close relative Of the
giant redwoods which are the
pride Of California and the
largest trees in the world, but
1t differs from them in al
most every respect. The
tree was first described from
fossil imprints Of Rocky
Mountain rocks in 1914. Pre-
sumably it was entirely ex-
tinct.
Also Found In China
A few years later, however.
q growth of this identical
species was found in Western
China and 10 years ago the
FIRST seeds were received in
Washington. The botanists
have been greatly impressed
by the quick growth, hardi-
ness, strength, freedom from
disease. and lovely, needle
like foliage which turns rus
