FOR WOMEN, the ritual
Is simpler. A woman never
wears but one star--that Of
the ribbon she is wearing.
She also never wears . conn
rnander's cross around her
neck. but instead. she wears
it in q big bow on the
shoulder.
Women never wear deco
rations except In full eve
ming dress. This means q
long dress, white gloves and
the works. You will notice
that Queen Elizabeth's pic
lures Of her wearing the
Order Of the Garter are al
most always in evening dress
with the exception o. the few
occasions when she wears
her uniform and then she
wears all her decorations Is
well.
Most Of the time. however.
she is in evening dresses and
the sash is usually attached
to q small strap and pinned
with her favorite jeweled pin
containing tiny portraits Of
her father and grandfather.
Sashes are always worn
from the right shoulder to
the left hip--all except the
Order Of the Garter, which
is worn from left to right.
-
NEITHER MINIATURES
nor decorations are ever
worn with black tie or morn
ing coat. With these cos
tunes only q boutonniere is
used.
II. for example, q person is
invited to the italian en-
bassy for Q black tie dinner
and If he has an Italian dec
grafton, this is indicated BY
q tiny boutonniere which
tells even the degree Of the
order.
A silver bar and rosette
indicates Commander with
Cross. while a gold bar means
the Grand Cross and just q
plain rosette signifies the
lower grade.
II he has no Italian deco
ration. then he wears the
symbol of his highest deco
ration from his own country.

THE COURTESIES in
volved in wearing decora-
tons are many.
For example, II the Queen
Of England should attend q
reception at the Greek En-
bassy in London in honor Of
King Paul Of Greece, she
would wear the highest Greek
decoration she has instead Of
the Order Of the Garter.
And likewise. when the
Queen visits Q foreign coun-
try, her host wears. the high
est British decoration he has.
This means that when the
Queen dimes with President
Eisenhower at the White
House. he could and probably
VIII wear the crimson sash Of
his highest British decora-
ton. the Grand Cross Of the
Order Of the Bath. -.

THE ORDER OF THE
GARTER is perhaps the most
important one in the word
today. There are only 80
living knights Of the Garter
and only two ladies Of the
Garter-the Queen Mother
and former Queen Wilhemina
Of the Netherlands.
However. the top decora-
ton in the world is consid-
cred by many to be La Toi-
son dor (The Golden Fleece
given by the House Of Haps-
burg. This Austro- Hunga-
rian decoration was created
in 1929 by Philip the Good
Of Burgundy and was given
only to royalty or to the
highest nobility, but 1t was
discontinued in 1919,

At his first full-dress press
conference. the new Republic
can National Chairman, Meade
Alcorn, was literally a bridge
between the old and new Re-
publicanism.
At his right and left were
Senator Andrew Schoeppel of
Kansas and Representative

Both are well to the right of

The new chairman indicated 1t

Senators.
Nor does he believe that
President Eisenhower should
be asked to campaign at the
grass roots next year as he
did so exhaustively in the 1854
congressional election cam
paign. He thought that the
President did too much of that
at the local level in 1854 and
1856.
The new chairman will rely
heavily on organization down
to the precinct. Already he
has been at work trying to
placate organization leaders by
interceding with the White
House and cabinet officers to
do more for the faithful in the
way Of patronage-the polite
name for Jobs.
At his meeting here with the

conferences were set up begin

the end Of May, at which
State leaders will present their
problems and from which they
will go back to organize their
States down to the district and
county level in a similar series

to contest more districts in the
South next year than the

or the labor union--would GER
tainly know that it would
reach far beyond any chosen
audience directly connected
with the sponsoring union or
corporation.
Likewise, If 1t be permissible
now merely to state the rec
ord of particular candidates
on economic issues" without
asking the electorate to vote
for or against particular can
didates, isn't 1t naive to sup
pose that the general public
listening to the broadcast or
reading the advertisement
would fail to construe this as
active campaigning?
What the Federal judge in
Detroit did in dismissing the
case without trial was simply
to hold that, because the SUI
preme Court once had ruled
that, under the constitutional
guarantee of free speech, a
union could carry in the COL
umns of its own newspaper a
political message from the
unions leaders, there was no
offense committed by the union
this time, either.
The Department of Justice
has been troubled by that de-
cision of the Detroit judge. be-
cause no trial was held and no
opportunity was afforded to
meet the specific issues in
court. The Supreme Court now
has opened UP the case. But
the raising of the right of free
speech by the union opens up
also the whole constitutional
issue. 1t would appear that
Congress will have a hard time
writing any law that's consti-
tutional which could limit the
size of campaign contributions
made by corporations or unions
when they don't give the
money directly or indirectly to
any political committee or to
any candidate, and when they
carry on their own campaigns
through the press. radio and
television. pamphlets or bill
boards even where the avowed
object is to assist a group Of
candidates or a particular
political party.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Long, Continued Help to Nations Seen
Opposed to View Stated by Eisenhower

The committees appointed
by President Eisenhower to
find out how much this coun-
try may have to spend on for
eign aid and over how long a
time presented their reports
last week.
The committees headed by
Benjamin Fairless, former
chairman of the board of the
United States Steel Corp. and
Eric Johnston, special ambaS-
sador. have worked separately
and have made different rec
concentrations. But they have
both reached the same conclu-
sion: Foreign aid must be con-
tinued for an indefinite num-
Der Of years.
Fairless set the figure at APP
proximately So billion a year
(including the spending by
American troops overseas).
Johnston was not able to even
approximate the expenditure.
Both committees are basing
their conclusions not so much
on "do-goodism" (Fairless in
particular never belonged to
that school of thought) but on
purchasing security" for
America. Yet President Essen
hover himself has been OPP
posed to unending foreign
spending. In his final report
as Army Chief of Staff in 1948
he offered the following state
ment on the need for aiding
Europe; From the security
standpoint. help to other ma
tons must aim always at re-
storing their ability to sup
port themselves. To make them
permanently dependent on
outside help is to weaken and
destroy their moral fiber, with
out which rehabilitation is i'm
possible. A sturdy. self-reliant
ally is a godsend in any crisis;
but a flabby dependent is no
help in a fight"
The words of our President
at a time when he was Chief
OF Staff are being overlooked
or forgotten now. not only by
his unofficial commissions but
also by policy-makers in the

agencies in the Government
which have to deal with ma
tional security and foreign
relations. 1t is true that there
is definite difference between
the approaches to interna-
tional affairs in 1913 and now.
Gen. Eisenhower in his report
nine years ago mentioned
f1abbiness Of dependent allies
lin a fight" The global doles
extended and to be extended
in the future under various
programs do not envisage a
situation involving fighting;
they are intended to buy peace,
If possible.
And the policy-makers over
look one of the major prin-
ciples Eisenhower expressed in
a letter to a friend of his in
1851: Taxes, which, if long
continued, will strange incen-
tive, the very quality which
built the Nation. Meanwhile
the Government debt rises.
The value of our money be-
comes the football of politics
subject to the political within
Of the moment. Imitation has
partially destroyed our saw
ings and our life insurance
values" This extract from a
letter by Eisenhower was a
part Of a series of articles
published by Kelvin Mccain
who wrote a book, THE Man
From Abilene" And there is
no reason to believe that this
basic thinking of the then
supreme NATO commander
has undergone any fundamen-
tai changes.
1t is true that Fairless, even
more pointedly than Johnston,
has recommended loans in
stead of grants to those coun-
tries which have any degree of
solvency. Yet there is a re-
markable reluctance on the
part Of our bureaucrats to ex-
tend loans. They seem to pre-
fer grants. The case of Turkey
is typical in that respect.
Some two years ago the
Ankara government applied
for a loan of about $3.50 mil
lion to meet commitments

abroad. It had purchased with

chine tools and other indus.
trial products in Europe. Agri-
cultural exports are still the
mainstays of Turkish economy
and the two preceding years
Of drought had thrown Turkish
foreign exchange out of bal
ance. Faced with the danger
Of defaulting on the interest
and amortization, Ankara ap-
pealed to Washington for q
loan.
A commission headed by
Clarence Randall was sent to
investigate the situation on
the spot. Although the RAN
dali report is restricted" 1t
is known that it favored the
Ankara plea for a loan, espe.
cially since the Turkish gov
eminent had put into effect q
number of drastic economies
recommended by representa-
tives Of the International Co
operation Administration.
Moreover, Turkey had never
defaulted on its debt. The
Turkish government pointed
out with pride that after the
monarchy was overthrown and
Renal Ataturk founded the
republic, the public debt owed
various European governments
which had lent money to the
Sultans for their own purposes
was repaid in full and in gold.
The last installment was paid
in 1912.
The loan asked by the Men
deres government in 1855 was
to be repaid over 80 or 40
years and was to carry the
same rate of interest as the
American loan of $3.75 bill
lion to Britain in 1916. This
meant that the taxpayers or
the organization which loaned
the relatively small amount
asked by Turkey would earn
interest.
But the bureaucrats in
Washington did not like the
idea. Instead of the requested
loan. they gave Turkey a grant
of $50 million. 1t helped our
ally in the Middle East to Q
very small degree. but 1t added
to the burden of the American
taxpayer.
