DR.. Philip A. E. Stebbing,
superintendent Of the Dis
trict General Hospital, has
announced his resignation eff
fective in February, 1858.
This may usher in a new era
in an important division of
the d. c. Health Depart
ment. The sudden increasing
demands on the facilities of
this hospital point out the
need for a much larger hos
pital equipped to care for
both acute and chronic dis
ease. II co-ordinated plans
for expansion Of the physical
plant Of the old Gallinger
Hospital are not soon insti-
tuted and placed before Con-

ner. the hospital will find it
self in an impossible situa-
ton in a few years. AS the
buildings now stand, the hos
pital represents a maze of
scientifically located append
ages scattered over many
acres Of grounds. Lack Of
Capitalization in a hospital
means inefi1ciency and awk-

room are housed in an old
laundry area about one
fourth of a mile from the
X-ray department, which can
be reached only by travelling
down corridors, UP one ele-
vator and down another.
This is only one example OF
the scattering Of facilities
that is called District Gen.

wasted to man this sprawling

THE POLITICAL MIL
Politics or Unity on NATO Policy?
By GOULD LINCOLN

Here We 60 again-with q
choice between partisan poll
itics and q bipartisan drive
for q united country in sup
port Of q program to
strengthen NATO. to check
mate and to surpass Soviet
Russia's missile and earth
satellite achievements.
What is needed above all is
q united country in face Of
the serious problems Of ma
tional defense that confront
us. President Eisenhower,
head Of the Republican Party
and Of the Republican ad-
ministration of the execu-
tive branch Of Government.
has sought the aid Of Adlai
Stevenson, his Democratic
opponent in the last two
presidential elections, In the
formulation Of q program Of
United States policy directed
to improved and strengthen
ed relations with the nations
Of the free world. Mr.. Ste
venson has agreed to consult
with Secretary Of State Dull
les and with the President.
This Is q gain. As titular
leader Of his own party, Mr..
Stevenson has agreed in adj
vance to go along with the
Eisenhower policies, as de-
veloped in consultation, where
he believes they are right and
sound. He Is not giving I'D
his right to be critical. Nor
could he be expected to do
so. His real duty to the
country in this connection.
however, is to see that he,
himself. is not animated by
partisan political considera-
tons. That. as q patriotic
American. he can do.
Democrats Statement
The Democratic Advisory
Council, on the very eve Of
Mr.. Stevenson,s arrival in
Washington for his consulta-
ton with Secretary Dulles,
put out a statement with
every semblance Of haste
which in the first breath
pledges aid for q program
that win strengthen both our
relations with our allies and
our national defense, and in
the second breath deplores
the fact that the Eisenhower
administration permitted our
relations with our allies to
deteriorate and permitted the
Russian Communists to beat
us into outer space with an
earth satellite. It was at once
a promise Of solidarity of
American effort and an i'm
plication that President Ell
senhower and the Republic
cans cannot be trusted to
handle the Nations affairs
and should be turned out of
Office and replaced by Demo-
Gratis as quickly as possible.
The partisan sting was there,
despite the concluding para
graph which said: "As Demo-
Gratis we seek no partisan ad-
vantage from the unhappy
and precarious state Of affairs
in which America finds itself
today. We pledge our whole
hearted support to the Presi-
dent IN any sound action
which he may propose to
take. !"
Also. the Advisory Coun-
ellis statement questioned the

wrong thing, the tabooed
thing, at a coffee break.
But even II one does not
say it, it remains.
It turks there in the mind,
ready to come out at O
moments notice.
Keep it concealed, and It
makes no difference.
1t is not the moving finger,
as Omar said, but the re-
luctant thought.
Life is made up, for most
Of us, of q combination Of
approved and disapproved
thoughts.
In time, the latter become
so many that the wise person
tends to throw them all over
board at last.
He is not becoming Inn
moral, In any real sense, but
merely becoming sensible at
last. and who can say he is
wrong2
He recognizes the basic
quality Of inimical thoughts.
The man who criticized
Socrates to his face did not;
he said, Socrates, your face
has in it all the baser in
stincts."
Socrates smiled.
Eyes" he said. but I over
come them with my mind"
This is the great overcom-
ing Of everyday life, Of which
so little is written and seldom
anything said.
Down with everything
that's up" It is an old. old
thought. Cavemen must have
known 1t, and those before.
We feel the urge today. but II
we are right we do not give
In TO 1t.
"Vandal" Is an ugly word.
Let US shrink from It. even
IN our minds. and especially
in our minds. II we shrink
there, we shrink to good
purpose.

our recent experience |,

Our RECENT experience with
the Montgomery County
Liquor Control Board dem
onstrates what happens when
semiautonomous boards and
bodies are created, and then
allowed to operate without a
proper system Of checks. bal
ances and fixed responsibility
to the public. A month ago I
was one Of a group Of citi-
zens engaged in circulating
a petition against transfer Of
a liquor license in Rockville,
Md. The possibility that we
would be ignored seemed
most remote. Our honest pc
tition covered three blocks
in the area Immediately af-
fected. This included COM
mercial and industrial busi-
nesses, but the bulk of the
area was residential. We con-
tacted 80 homes: 81 signed
against the application: 10
we could not get at home;
some were Indifferent: Of
our signers, over 80 were
homeowners.
At the hearing our presen-
tation was simple. It was a
signed petition against an
application for a transfer"
We felt that this was not the
place for this type Of bust
ness. We did not question the
mans right to earn q living
in his chosen business, nor
criticize him personally. We
did point out that it was well
within our capabilities to OBJ
tain hundreds or even thou
sands Of signatures. But we
relied upon the board to APP
preciate our honest petition
ing Of only those in the i'm
mediate area. We felt we had
done as much as we honestly
should. We were thanked and
told we would be notified.
On october 8, / stopped by
the Bureau Of Licenses, and
to my great surprise was
told by the inspector that the
transfer would be granted
when the applicant finished
his building and met require
ments. The applicant had
been so notified. but not the

that he notify me when the

So We have never received
notice. The transfer was
granted; we are saddled with

patible with our area.
Where you have govern

Morals and Missiles

Using the name Of God, and
the profound mystery of His
creation as the title of q sex
motion picture, which por-
trays the uninhibited gyra-
tons of q person raised by
the devil" indicates we are
in questionable moral condi-
ton. The trend Of sex NOV
especially q current one
which is the first venture Of
a young woman-and even a
few television shows Is to
reach out and draw the i'm
questionable, the youngs the
uneducated, and even the
blase Of our great nation into
a trap Of moral degradation.
The amusement advertise
ments Of many Of our best
selling dailies. aren't amusing
at all; they are becoming
scandal sheets. From the ear
lest records Of mans civil
lization. and down through
the centuries, it has been the
moral degeneration Of q ma
ton that kept the hand of
God from sparing that civili-
cation. immortality is an
atheistic condition, belittling
the beauty Of Gods creative
powers, and communism is
an atheistic condition rob-
bling God Of the love and re-
spect His creatures owe Him.
These forces are working
hand In hand. and the pat
tern Of destruction lies there
in. Which will bring the an
inhalation of our wonderful
country, the Communistic
missile or our own moral de-
generation? Or the combina-
ton Of the two?

Presidents sincerity In seek
ing to meet the problems d.
rectly. It suggested he may
be inclined to sacrifice Sc
curity worshiping q balanced
budget" It suggested. too.
that the President might be
willing to wreck segments Of
defense and civilian programs
to meet the needs Of Q
stepped-up program for mis-
sile and satellite Develop
ment. It argued that the Ma
ton may be able to 60 ahead
with q crash program on mis-
siles and at the same time
afford q New Deal Fair Deal
program Of expansion Of ci-
villain services.
Nonpartisan Pledge
Adlai Stevenson as q mem
Der OF the Advisory Council
approved the statement be-
fore 1t was issued. The i'm
portant part of the state
ment. so far as his usefulness
is concerned in advancing q
united American front, lies In
the promise to seek no par
tisan advantage in the pres
emit situation. but to support
the President in any sound
action which he may propose.
Another hopeful sign Of
bipartisan effort for national
unity - instead Of seeking
political advantages found
in the attitude Of the MAJOR
ity leader Of the Senate,
Senator Lyndon johnson Of
Texas, chairman Of the Sem
ate committee which Is to
make an inquiry into our
missile and satellite pro-
grams. He said the aim is not
to fix blame for Russia's get
ting the Jump on us In these
fields. The purpose Of the
inquiry. he said. is to deter
mine what steps can be taken
to strengthen Americas posi-
ton and restore the leader
ship we should have In
technology" 81
Less hopeful for national
unity, however, are some Of
the statements which have
come from Democrats who
have assailed and derided
President Eisenhower, who
have criticized the Presi-
dents recent addresses to the
Nation as insincere and at
tempts to delude and lull the
American people into q state
Of complacency. One Of the
Democrat J breast-beaters is
Chairman Paul M. Butler of
the Democratic National
Committee. also q member Of
the Democratic Advisory
Council. Not satisfied with
the councils statement and
the extent to which It went
in criticism of the President,
Mr.. Butler put out q state
ment Of his own, shortly aft
erwards.. In this statement,
Mr.. Butler charged that q
large part Of the Presidents
two recent addresses to the
Nation on national defense
was old hat; that the Presi-
dent had spent "a good deal
Of time attempting to CLAM
orize warmed-over informa-
ton that actually was two
years old"
Is it going to be partisan
politics or patriotic unity
from now on?

SCOTS at Beacon

see uy the newspapers
that the Civil Aeronautics
Administration has put a
searchlight at Chain Bridge
for the purpose Of DETECTING
low-fiying airliners away
from the crowded northwest
section Of the city. How Is
that going to alleviate the
noise and discomfort in the
section Of the city where /
live-the northeast? We have
planes flying low over our
crowded residential area also.
and it is time that these
planes ny higher - much
higher!
Also, in another area in
which / operate my own
business, at 14th and New
York Avenue N. w.. one can
not help seeing and hearing
there extremely low-flying
planes. This section, with its
concentration Of business
and human life, is even more
vulnerable. A pilot error at
this point could kill. burn.
and MAIN scores Of persons,
including the occupants Of
the airliner. These problems
caused by the airlines over
Washington cannot be met
by evading them. or by try
ing to forget that they exist.
Therefore, ! do not believe
that this searchlight is going
to stop low-flying. Appar-
emily it Is intended to just
stop complaints.

Angelica belongs to the
parsley family and like so
many Of the herbs in use to-
day. it has a long and inter-
esting history. In medieval
times Angelica was often
called Angel Herb or the Holy
Ghost herb. People Of that
day believed that it was i'm
bued with certain healing
powers and it was supposed
to protect people from the
plague that was then prev
alent in Europe.
During the middle ages,
stems were given to alcoholics
in the belief that this medi-
cation would lessen the crav-
ing for spurious liquors.
Angelica is a biennial which
grows to a height of six feet
or more. 1t is a hardy herb
with very pretty foliage. To-
day it is widely cultivated in
France and Germany.
For those Of you seeking
a plant that viii grow in the
shade, this is your answer.
Partial shade is preferable
for this herb. but 1t will grow
in full shade If not too dense.
If you desire it as a perennial.
cut the flower heads as soon
as they blossom. Otherwise,
the plants will die at the end
OF the second year If allowed
to go to seed.
Slow to terminate
The seed is slow to germi-
nate, so If you plan to have
1t in your garden this next
year, it is best to start the
seed inside. Unlike many
herbs. Angelica loves a deep,
rich earth that is moist but
1t needs good drainage. 1t
should be well cultivated and
kept free from weeds at all
times.
Angelica is one Of the few
herbs that is useful from
leaf to root. The stalk is very
tasty when blanched and
eaten like raw celery. A
friend told us she had stewed
it as one would rhubarb, with
a bit Of sugar added, and
eaten it as a fruit.
The candied stems can be
added to fruit jellies or used
to give added zest to rhubarb
or stewed fruits. Custards
take on new life when the
finely broken candied stems
are mixed in.
The candied stems added
to picking spice and boiled
with shrimp. salmon or other
fish add an unusual flavor.
Oil from the seed is used
commercially as a havoring
for many Of our liquors such
as vermouth, gin, chartreuse
and some wines. 1t is also
used in certain perfumes.
Incidentally the leaf is used
as poultices for chest dis
orders. The leaf is also used
to make a tea which some re-
gard as a good spring tonic.
The root is used for max
ing tea to relieve chest colds
and is said to be especially
good for one suffering from
indigestion.
