Father Knows Best

Your soul-searching editorial
on President Eisenhower's per-
sonal triumph in beating down
the jury-trial amendment to
the So-called civil rights bill
by q decisive 32-vote margin
In the House was particularly
appropriate for Fathers Day.
The Star believes that the
President who carried five
Southern States last year does
not trust Southern jurors to
live up to their oaths and con-
Wet guilty defendants when
the evidence proves contempt
Of due process re civil rights.
What father ever believed in
trial by jury? Surely the Star
does not expect presidential
paternalism to be any less
arbitrary and insistent that
father-knows-best than the
household variety. Heretofore,
President Eisenhower has been
accused Of FORGETTING the pres
tige and leadership RESPONSE
bilities inseparable from his
decisive personal victory. In
Army parlance, the Old Man
had gone soft. But all of a
sudden the indulgent father
decided to wear the pants in
stead of the panties. And
whenever the Old Man de-
cides he has been soft too long.
chaplains. juries and the Bill
of Rights have to get permits
sion Of the First Sergeant to
whisper their presumptuous
intervention.
But alas. even at the White
House level. Fathers Day soon
yields to independence Day.
Until then, the Great White
Father can be the stern Old
Man who waves the hair brush
without benefit Of trial by jury.
But on Independence Day even
the Great White Father will
wave the flag instead of the
hair brush. And on that day
Of days there will resound
from the hearts of fathers
everywhere. whatever the color
Of their skin. the immortal
theme which gave birth to our
Nation: Give me liberty or
give me death. And even the
sternest Old Man who believes
father knows best will admit
that, despite all subterfuge,
trial by jury in matters of
honest dispute still is an in
alienable right.

ing better than to be let alone.
This, too, he says, is illu-
sion.
There is nothing a modern
American will do less than
leave others alone.
The typical American pines
to stir up others, no matter
where they are.
He sails the ocean seas, as
Columbus called them-or was
it old Walt Whitman, the poet?
and instructs everybody he
meets in the best ways to
handle soil. water, air, and
everything else.
The master do-gooder and
know-it-all of creation. no
wonder the peoples of foreign
lands scrawl on their walls.
Americans, go home"
Temp Jones says If he were
a citizen of those lands, he
would be right in there with
his big piece of chalk and a
wide open pocketbook.
y -
The name Of Templeton
Jones had already penetrated
to Spanish South Africa, as it
used to be called. to England,
Germany. Switzerland and
points East. via the mails.
One visitor to gay Paris
wrote that a copy of The Star
turned up on a park bench,
with the paper so folded that
there could be no doubt who
was being read.
The one nice thing about
such fame. Jones says, is that
it draws no lines of any kind
between his various admirers
and readers. To him they are
all beautiful, fair and kind.
The harsh realities Of this
world seldom impinge on the
complexities of the inner
sphere. There are no ugly
people, no injured people;
their souls are all clean and
strong, as souls must be, also
there would be no souls. It is
because Of imperfection here
that we demand perfection
there. The mean-looking devil.
in his innermost being. is even
such a soul as you and I. dear
reader. and we are perfect, or
at least aim to be. do we not?
We do, and hence the world
goes round, and the day
breaks. and darkness comes;
the stars shine, and the light
in happy eyes CLEANS for one
and all, and no one knows
what it has lived and strived
for. and happily 1t makes no
difference, so long as the mind
is honest. the heart true, and
the soul the child Of God.

God reads the SOUL" says
a correspondent, and she is
very right. so Templeton Jones
must stand in the corner.
II cut out many of your
columns" writes E. H. r. of
Gaithersburg. Md. "and send
them off to cheer others both
here in our United States and
abroad.
II am sure in Korea and
Czechoslovakia they know Mr..
Templeton Jones pretty well
by now.
After reading about the
man with the ugly face that
caused Jones to think him a
mean looking devil thought
God reads the soul, not the
face
II am sure there are many
Of us who have to go through
life with SCARED and afflicted
faces and bodies. and it is a
terrible cross to bear. especially
when it first happens, and if
one were blessed with good
looks before it happened.
st speak for myself as well
as for others: I know that
heartache, but realizing that
God reads our souls instead
of our faces, knowing our
actions and the way we treat
others. it has softened the
blow and made it bearable.
Haven't you seen people
who are lovely to look upon
with mean dispositions and
cruelty behind their beautiful
masks? I have.
IF a person who looks upon
affliction would only say,
There go I only for the grace
of God and put himself in
the other fellows place, he
would not be able to see affiic-
ton for the love and COM
passion shining from his own
soul.
Not as the world sees us
but as God sees us is a good
motto to follow.
I'm sure that Templeton
Jones. being the kind-hearted
fellow we know him to be, feels
this way. too"
Temp Jones says his name
has been around the world
many times. and in the next
war, he says, instead of the
legend, "Kilroy was here" it
will be, "Templeton Jones was
here"
Jones pines, however. only
for local fame.
That, he AYERS, is enough,
sometimes too much.
Fame is nothing to Jones.
He gave up seeking it a long
time ago, and now asks moth

The United States may soon
take its first step toward con-
solidation of its explorations
and scientific research in the
Antarctic, including possible
territorial claims to parts of
the Antarctic continent.
This is forecast In two nearly
identical bills just introduced
by Representatives william H.
Bates of Massachusetts and
John r. Pillion Of New York
to establish the Richard e.
Byrd Antarctic Commission as
an independent executive
agency. The Bates bill, how
ever, includes activities in the
Arctic.
This commission would be
set up, honoring the late
Admiral Byrd, to exercise over
all control of all this country'S
activities henceforth at the
bottom Of the world. It would
maintain in Washington a de-
pository Of all available infor-
nation and control and initiate
, field and laboratory studies. In
addition it would assist or adj
wise in the establishment of
territorial claims in the Ant
arctic by the United States"
Many Claims Made
At present this country
makes no such claims and rec
ognizes none made by other
nations. Countries making
such claims on the basis of
discovery, occupation and ex-
ploitation are France Norway,
Great Britain, Russia. New
Zealand. Australia, Chile and
Argentina. Somewhat tenuous
German and Japanese claims
are considered to have been
cancelled by the last war.
There is considerable over
tapping Of some of the ter
ritories. British authority over
the sub-Antarctic islands such
as South Georgia and the
South Shetlands and over the
northward-jutting Palm r
Peninsula, for example, are
not recognized by either Ar
gentina or Chile. Russian
claims to Alexander the First
and Peter the First islands,
both largely UNEMPLOYED, have
not actually been disputed but
they sometimes have been ex-
tended to include most of the
continent. This. nob0dy would
accept.
Historically the worlds sixth
largest continent, mostly
buried under ice a mile or two
thick, was discovered by an
American, the Connecticut
sealing feet scout Nathaniel
Palmer. This 18-year-old boy,
at least, was the first human
to have put on record sighting
the main land. the Palmer
Peninsula. No claim ever was
made on the basis Of Palmer's
discovery which, paradoxically
enough, now is supported
chiefly by Russian records.
No claim was made on the
basis of the discovery of the
main land of the continent

Halls the Chief

Hail to Police Chief Murray!
At long last someone in official
position has enounce d
publicly the attempted In
timidation of the Police De-
partment by the NAACP. This
attempted intimidation has
been going on for years. In
Vulnerable unfounded COM
plants have been filed by the
NAACP and its ilk against
white police officers with good
records. Many police officers
have been compelled to defend
themselves before the Police
Trial Board against such false
charges. OF a large number
of alleged violations Of civil
rights, several white police
men have had to undergo the
expense and suspense of q
trial on criminal charges be-
fore establishing their inno-
cence Of the charges. It would
be quite interesting to learn
the number of alleged civil
rights violations investigated
by the FBI at the instigation
Of the Washington chapter Of
the NAACP.
When the lowly private is a
victim Of false charges, has to
stand trial, and is acquitted
by the Police Trial Board.
there is a cry Of "whitewash"
by the compliments. The
public does not know how un-
founded some Of the charges
have been. Neither does the
public know how spotless are
the records Of some of the
police officers involved. It is
unfortunate that it was neces-
sary to wait until the NAACP
made the mistake Of attacking
the Chief before the true
character Of this organization
was revealed to the public.
This time the NAACP has
set its sights too high. 1t
has selected Chief Murray as
its victim. Unlike the lowly
police private. Chief Murray's
integrity is known far and
wide. Few people will take
seriously the charges Of the
NAACP against Chief Murray.
The Police Department files
are replete with unfounded
complaints Of the NAACP and
its kind. which will furnish
Chief Murray plenty of am
munition If he chooses to use
it. An investigation Of this
ridiculous complaint would
not only reflect credit upon
Chief Murray but would dis
close the NAACP for what 1t
is. i.e., a color-conscious or
ganization not interested in
justice or fair play but only
in intimidation and persecu-
ton of those in authority
who have white skin.
I challenge Mr.. Davidson to
show a single case in which
his organization ever protested
the treatment Of a white
citizen by a colored police
officer. Or even a complaint Of
the treatment of a colored
citizen by a colored police off,
Ger. excepting. Of course. those
complaints Immediately with
drawn after it was ascertained
that the policeman involved
was colored.
A vast majority of the police
officers Of Washington, both
white and colored, as we'll as
Chief Murray, conduct them
selves in such a manner as to
deserve public support and
commendation-not unfounded
accusations.
Lloyd +. Kelly,
Former Deputy Chief Of
Police.

Meaning of EtioIogy

David Lawrence on June
IS criticized the Supreme Court
for departing from precedent.
In this connection he quoted
from an opinion by Mr.. Justice
Frankfurter to the effect that
legal doctrines "have a spe-
ciflc juridical origin and ETH
ology." Then Mr.. Lawrence
added: Looking up in the
dictionary the word 'etiology,'
one finds 1t means custom"
which makes the phrase mean
judicial precedent and the GUS
toms Of the people-which
the Supreme Court certainly
ignored in the indignation
cases."
Mr.. Lawrence's reasoning,
which neatly converts the JUS
tice into a critic OF the de-
segregation cases, depends upon
the definition Of "etiology."
Thus, we may ask. does the
word mean custom? Looking
at my Webster's I find, unlike
Mr.. Lawrence, that etiology is
defined as THE science, doc
trine or demonstration OF
causes" Etiology as cause fits
the Frankfurter sentence, and
II that be its contextual mean
ing, what happens to the nice
ties Of Mr.. Lawrence's logic?
John Bodner, Jr.
II
David Lawrence knows-or
should know-that "etiology"
preferred to in his column
June 49, does not mean "cus-
TOM"
I can understand how, in
his hurried resort to the die
tionary, Mr.. Lawrence's eye
may have been caught by the
last word-an archaeological
reaction. or. as he seems to
have mistaken the part for
the whole, a synecdochic one.
But I find 1t hard to believe
that he didn't know what the
word meant without looking
1t up. II he feels 1t necessary
to assist his pose Of anti
intellectualism by a feigned
ignorance. that is up to him.
! think. however. that he's
much too literate to fog not
only a dead but q dumb horse
TO prove that he's q man Of
the people.

n~Ss SeSS
In your June IL story Of the
Urban Renewal Council meet
ing you report that I ques-
toned whether 1t was desiY-
able to convert private hous-
ing to public ownership" Ac-
tually what I questioned was
the wisdom Of the National
Capital Housing Authority
proposal to purchase the Ter
race Apartments at 23rd and
Converse Sc, for use as
public housing. Heretofore
the NCHA has built plain but
adequate low cost housing on
low cost land to house those
persons incapable Of provid-
ing, themselves with proper
shelter. The public has an in
terest in seeing that no per-
son is q slum dweller because
Of low income. We all know
slums breed vice. crime, and
poor citizens. which cost the
community far more in the
end than public housing.
The Terrace Apartments
were built by private enter
prise under a federally in
sured mortgage to house per-
sons in the middle and up
permiddle income brackets,
with priority Of occupancy to
veterans and their families.
1t is relatively high-grade
housing. with space and orna-
mental features far above the
minimums which can be
justified as proper for pub
lcly subsidized housing. One
function of public housing is
to upgrade slums and blighted
areas by replacing them with
publicly-owned housing. 1t is
not the function of public
housing to go into the real
estate market and buy com
paratively high-grade housing
In nonslum areas and convert
1t to public housing. To do so
down grades the residential
area and removes valuable
property from the tax rolls.
The NCHA is doing a splen-
did job. 1t has 5,295 dwelling
units under management,
1859 more under construction,
and is desperately searching
for space for $500 author
lied additional units. Perhaps
there is no solution but for
public housing to invade ex-
isting nonslum residential
areas. But before NCHA en-
barks upon such q fateful
adventure. all other alterna-
tives should be thoroughly
explored.
