The hope and prayer Of
the American people is that
President Eisenhower will
speedily recover from the
illness which struck him
Monday. 1t is their hope,
too, that the President will
quickly be able to resume the
full activities necessary to
his great office, Indeed, the
country and its people have
tremendous respect and af-
lection for and confidence in
Mr.. Eisenhower and his lead
ership. Their immediate re-
action to his illness shows
beyond a shadow of doubt
the peoples belief in his
leadership. And that reac-
ton makes the snipers who
have more recently attempted
to belittle the President
particularly for partisan pur-
poses-look silly. The Presi-
dent, In his almost five years

again and again demon

in the Constitution or in law,
who is to decide when a

But the answer, should Presi-

his public utterances.

will take himself effectively

and his own feeling that he is
rapidly improving.

who resemble wolves, hogs
and foxes, so there are cats
which take on the semblance
of insects.
Such an animal is Tammy,
the latest in the Templeton
Jones menage.
She resembles a cicada, or
17-year-locust, or maybe a
mantiS.
This comes about because
Of a rather small head, usual
on a female cat.
At first. Tammy was called
"he.".
She had learned about life
in the downtown school of
hard knocks. and had worked
up a sort of tomcat defense.
No sooner had she sighted
a cat of any type. color or
disposition, than she arched
her back and began the tradi-
tional splitting and kissing.
The protection was perfect,
and all her friends, human
and animal. thought she must
be a male.
Time decreed otherwise,
and her small insect face,
rather triangular, took on its
proper aspect.

Female cats usually have a

aspects of the world.
Optimistic humans, hewing
to a traditional line. often
refuse to admit this tragedy.
They go through life, for
tunate fellows, determined to
make the best Of it.
Those who see things
steady and see them whole
are called pessimists, or
cynics, at the least.
The cat tribes have no
subterfuges; they understand
a great deal, at least as much
as one can without the bene-

Her nose seems set on

This gives her a comical
look. or. rather a cute look,
as her admirers say.
Tammy is perhaps the

Bedroom Arrest

1t appears that consider
able irrelevant information is
being used in defense of the
Arlington policemen in the
bedroom arrest case of Mrs.
Roy A. Stephens. Since such
information seems to have
completely clouded the issue
for some members of the Ar
lington County Board and
others. it evidently is neces-
sary to ask why these points
are important.
The police department has
made quite a point of a warn
ing letter sent to Mrs. Ste
piers which was not an
swered. The issue cat least
according to what I read in
the papers, is 1.-The method
used" not Mrs. Stephens
arrest. Since Mrs. Stephens
did not answer the warning
letter, presumably her ar
rest was mandatory. Were
there further implications to
her failure to answer the
warning notice?
Further. it was pointed out
by the police department
that three successive trips
were made to Mrs. Stephens
home by the policemen prior
to the arrest that same eve
ming. 1t would appear that
the police department has
little to do to send three
policemen four times in one
evening to arrest one woman
on a charge Of violation Of
parking. Anyway. l fail to
see the unlawfulness in a
person being away from
home any time. Does this
change the situation? Does
this make different methods
necessary or excusable?
Also. it has been publicized
that Mr.. Stephens received
81 traffic tickets during the
last 10 years. Is this to imply
that because Of these tickets
different methods can be
used in arresting his wife or
him? Does it mean that the
fines were not sufficient
punishment and further pun
ishment was necessary?
One would think a police
force would be the first to
admit possible errors and
try to get the right answers
to such a controversy. The
fact that they did not in this
instance indicates a lack Of
supervision which will in
evitably result in iniustices.

Poined by Planes


to the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration to complain
about low flying aircraft over
my home and neighborhood
from the Washington Ma
tional Airport. A letter in
reply from the CAA stated
that ! could be assured, that
everything possible is being
done to reduce airplane noise
as much as possible" Today,
a year later. 1t seems to me
that low-f1ying commercial
airliners make as much noise
as possible!
Evidently, then, not much
was done. In view of the pos
sibility that large airliners
can, and do, crash while fly
ing, even under ideal flying
conditions, would it not be a
good idea to limit, more
strictly, their flying over con-
gested areas? And to insist
that they fly according to the
civil air regulations? 1t seems
strange to me that one busi-
ness, the commercial aviation
industry. can consistently
violate the regulations, and
that nothing ever happens.
