To keep you warm next winter!
The amount of fnatural gas your family
uses varies greatly from one season of
the year to another. In fact, it's not
uncommon for family to use Is times
as much gas on the coldest day in winter
as on summer day.
Billions of cubic feet of gas are con-
stantly being piped here from the south
west. In summer, when you need less gas,

ground rocky formations, which once
held natural gas. Then on cold winter
days, your increased requirements are
met by tapping these down. n-the-earth
storehouses.
That's one more reason why natural
gas is the modern, efficient fuel. And it
serves you best when you use it with
modern, automatic gas appliances.

Conquering Alcoholism?

Science now seems to have achieved
a kind of breakthrough against alco-
holism. AS explained by DR.. Roger J.
williams, president of the American
Chemical Society and director OF the
University Of Texas Biochemical Insti-
tute, the breakthrough consists OF re-
search findings and experimental data
indicating that potential alcoholics can
be discovered in childhood and that
simple nutritional adjustments can save
them from being wrecked by the disease
in later life.
In reporting this development, DR..
Williams has not described 1t in detail,
but he has left little room for doubt as
to its Importance, Thus, as he has put
It, lone Of the bright spots in the entire
picture has to do with the prevention
Of alcoholism. In short time we hope

to have ready for publication the results
Of an extended exploration in which
we believe we have found several ear
marks or tests, for potential alcoholics,
which can be applied to youngsters BY
recognizing potential alcoholics early
and watching and adjusting their nu-
triton, we are confident that alcohol
ism can be prevented"
The significance Of DR.. williams
statement speaks pretty much for itself
when we keep in mind that alcoholism
ranks fourth after heart disease, cancer
and mental illness as this country's
worst health menace. Certainly, II sci-
ence is on the verge Of conquering It

High on Next CoIendur

House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Cooper has set forth sound
and responsible formula for congress
sional consideration of tax legislation at
the next session. On January Z, his COM
mittee will begin a months open hear
ings on general tax revision, including
Gan examination of the effect and dis
tribution of present tax burdens" The
objective, II it seems obtainable, will be
to give tax relief on a broad and equi-
table basis. But, significantly, the Ten
nessee Democrat pledged in effect that
his party leadership will not be pushing
for tax reduction If 1t means forcing the
Government back into deficit financing.
I'VE must" he said, ''be ever mindful to
preserve the fiscal integrity Of the Gov
eminent"
This is q view, fortunately, that is
held by the responsible leadership Of
each party and no doubt had important
bearing on the decision to set aside var
ious tax relief proposals during the first
session Of the 85th Congress. In the
same vein, spokesmen Of each party
including Republican President Eisen-
hower-have acknowledged that the tax
burden is unduly heavy and that correc-
ton should be undertaken when 1t will
not jeopardize the Governments fiscal
position. In this connection, 1t will be
the Joint responsibility of the executive
and legislative branches to hold expend-
itures and appropriations to the lowest
practical level in hopes Of establishing
a substantial budget surplus. Figuring
in the picture, Of course, are the normal
political temptations to vote tax cuts in
an election year, and there will be in
creased maneuvering by each party to
capture the major credit II such relief
is given. Nevertheless, 1t is commendable
at this point that the emphasis is being
placed on responsibility rather than on
political expediency.
Actually, in the overall field Of
taxes Congress did make start in the
last session on some desirable revisions.
The House passed legislation overhaul
ing the excise tax structure and sec
ond bill on this subject is due for COM
mittee consideration this. fall. The
House committee also approved meas
ure dealing with technical problems In
tax administration and several other
bills dealing with limited tax grievances
are en- route to final acceptance, An in
all, the general subject Of improving the
revenue system seems certain Of major
attention and high priority when the
Congress returns.

Trouble in the Party

The once-vaunted solidarity Of the
American Communist Party is no more.
Jolted by Federal Bureau Of Investi-
CATION exposures, bafiled by Kremlin
changes of command and policy and
torn by factional strife within its ranks,
the party has come upon hard times.
Even its strident-voiced Daily Worker
comedies that all is not well. with party
membership dwindling to an all-time
low.
The present plight Of the party was
revealed with the resignation Of Joseph
Clark as party member and as foreign
disclosed sharp split in party member
ship and leadership over the issue Of
Russian control of the party. Mr.. Clark
made losing fight to divorce the Amer
lean Reds at least partially from Krem-
lin domination. His final efforts were
rebuffed at a meeting Of the party's
national committee last July. He an
nounced in a farewell statement in the
Worker that there seems to be no pros
pect Of a victory by those who share his
belief that the party should make it
plain that it is an independent organi-
cation, capable Of disagreeing with the
Kremlin at times.
Confirming the partys troubles was
a subsequent article in the Worker by
Editor John Gates. He said that Mr..
Clark's resignation was another sign Of
the continued decline" Of the party. The
editor warned his readers that the in
traparty battle over policy has cost the
party As per cent of its membership dur
ing the past year. Mr.. Clark previously
had declared that the membership had
dropped during the year from 1900 to
about 10000. Some 10000 members have
left the party during the past decade,
he said Most Of these defectors, accord
ing to the Clark statement, were Ne
groes, trade-unionists, writer's, scientists
and professionals"
All Of the party strife and decline
had been forecast by J. Edgar Hoover,
FBI director, In testimony before con-
sgressional committees. Mr.. Hoover has
cautioned, however, against assump-
tions that the American Reds no longer
are menace. Many Of the members who
have disappeared on the membership
rolls have merely been driven UNDER
ground by FBI enforcement Of the
Smith Act and other laws. Whatever the
surface indications Of party discord. FBI
investigations have shown that there is
a hard core Of conspiratorial Reds un-
affected by party differences and con-
trolled by Russian espionage chiefs. As
long as this undercover apparatus" ex-
lists the Communist threat cannot be
brushed aside as trivial or fanciful.

Hot and Cold

After his meeting with the Presi-
dent last week, Secretary Dulles seemed
to take-and to convey to the people
a most serious view of the situation in
Syria. This week he seems to be trying
to calm the ruffled waters. He must
have his reasons for blowing hot and
blowing cold on this grave matter, and
we trust they are good reasons.
As for American involvement under
the Middle East resolution adopted ear
lier this year by Congress, Mr.. Dulles
has emphasized at his latest news con-
ference that the United States will not
intervene with its own armed forces
unless three things happen. The first
of these would have to be formal find-
ing by President Eisenhower that Syria
had fallen under the domination of Gin
ternatiOnal communism" Further, even
II such finding were made on the basis
of clear and incontrovertible facts, our
country would still hold itself aloof from
direct military action unless ID there
should be an act of Red aggression in
the area and (2) the victimized nation
called upon US for help.
In short, all three Of these events
would have to occur before American
armed forces would be brought into play,
and it is mot likely" according to. Mr..
Dulles, that any one Of them will actu-
ally materialize. So the situation In
Syria may amount to something less
than an acute crisis. Still, a potential
danger remains in the sense that
some miScalculation or headlong move
by the Communists or Syrian left
lists could lead to war. That is why the
United States has done well to make its
position clear while speeding defensive
arms to Jordan and other friendly ma
tons in the Middle East.

There Goes Maine!

Everything is getting up to date in
Maine. After 1877 years Of going it alone
on September election date, theePine
Tree State voters decided this week to
get in step with the rest of the Nation
-on the first Tuesday after the flrst Mon
day in November. At the same time, the
down casters" voted to change their
gubernatorial term from two to four
years-another political step that is be-
coming increasingly uniform through
out the country.
The Maine weather is generally
blamed for the decision of the States
founding fathers to specify September
election date when they wrote the State
constitution in 1920. BY November it
is usually colder than somewhat in that
corner ofNew England and snow-clogged
roads once were the rule rather than
the exception. The climate hasn't
changed, but there has been some Inn
provement in the transportation situa-
ton. Even so, the Maine personality Is
about as Interchangeable as the climate so
/ It is not surprising 1t took more than a
century and a quarter to write some
new rules. In 1845, Congress decreed
that all States must vote in November
for President and Vice President. But
in 1872 when the National Legislature
set the same terms for congressional
elections it permitted exceptions to con-
form to State constitutions. Maine stood
fast, and enjoyed the extra publicity
gained through its exclusive early voting.
I Gas Maine goes, so goes the Nation" be-
came familiar political yardstick-but
( its reliability was thoroughly discredited
/ when the State remained stubbornly
Republican In advance Of Nationwide
Democratic sweeps in 1886, 1910, 1914
/ and 1948. Even the rock-ribbed Maine
b Republicanism broke down in 1854 when
Edmund S. Muskie, Democrat, was
I elected Governor, and his triumph was
repeated in 1856. Even in Maine, almost

the fine spray when. quite Of
a sudden, a hummer few in
and remained in the spray
and in one spot for at least
a minute, if not more.
what else could he have

I'VE have a number OF

teresting to watch.
Sincerely. M. E. F."
There are q number Of
shy bathers among the birds.
Hummingbirds and car
dinals rank high in this re-
spect.
Some people think they
never battle, but this is in
error.
Most living things take
baths, of one sort or another.
Common sparrows enjoy
both water and dust baths.
and every home that caters
to bird life should include a
dusty place for them and
others.
The hummingbird is small.
and therefore not too easy to
see, in this day Of defective
vision and glasses.
Many observers are ready
to swear that the hummers
never perch. Just how they
think they sleep we do not
know.
There have been many
photos taken Of humming-
birds at rest. and there can
be little doubt that they do
battle.
Certainly it is not I'M
natural that some species
are a bit shy when it comes
to water. 1t, runs through
all created things. that is
why it is wrong to dip the
heads Of small children be-
meath water. No doubt
thousands Of people have
been made water-shy for life
by this misguided "fun."
A fine spray from the hose
is particularly enjoyed by
the redbirds.

years has had many letters
asking If the cardinals ever
battle.

fully.

New Note in Virginia

The Star editorial, New
Note in Virginia" September
10 was disappointing by
inferentially accepting the
theory that desegregation
is~the law Of the land and
in not recognizing that Lind
say Almonds Arlington re-
marks were made in q po-
litical speech in a section
where the liberal element is
far out Of proportion with
that Of Virginia as q whole.
The Fourteenth was the
most unconstituti onal
amendment to the ConSti-
tuition. The intent Of Con-
gresS in passing this amend
ment was that schools be
segregated, for it provided
for segregation in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The SUI
preme Court under the Con-
stitution can only interpret
that document. Legislative
power is placed solely in the
hands Of Congress. Under
these circumstances, deseg-
regation cannot be the law
Of the land but must remain
in the realm of judicial fiat.
Lindsay Almonds future
course may hinge upon the
outcome Of the effort of
Arkansas Gov. Faubus to re-
sist another Federal courts
effort to perpetuate an orig
inal abuse of power. AS in
Arkansas. public opinion in
Virginia is predominantly
against Indignation. If Mr..
Almond becomes Governor.
he win certainly face q sit
uation similar to that Of Gov.
Faubus. If the latter is still
holding out, Mr.. Almond
would have little choice but
to join him.
On the other hand. should
the Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton send Federal troops to
end Gov. Faubus' resistance.
this would represent a threat
to every State and could
easily result in q total re-
versal Of public opinion; II
not on the question Of segre-
CATION. at least against fur
Their Federal interference in
purely State affairs. This,
in turn. could force congress
sional recognition that the
Federal courts have gotten
out Of hand and that cor
receive legislation has become
imperative. Many States not
in sympathy with the South
still jealousy guard their
sovereignty and might join
the South in the greater bat
tie against q Federal court
oligarchy which has already
reached the proportions Of
dictatorship.
