Pogo No HireIinq

Your story about Pogo's
connection with the National
Stay : in School Campaign
errs when 1t says that Pogo
was hired" by Secretary Of
Labor James P. Mitchell.
Neither Pogo nor his Gre
ator, Walt Kelly, is a hireling
Of the United States Govern
ment. Their services in the
campaign are free.
There was some talk of
making Pogo a dollar-a-year
'possum, but he demurred on
the ground that no red, white
and blue-blooded American
should accept pay from the
guver'mint for advisin &
child-type citizens to stay in
school and make the most Of
their abilities.

Not Serious-Yet

The continuing drought in the Po-
tomac River basin is reducing the flow
of water to a point reminiscent Of the
great dry spell of 1930-but, from wa
ter supply standpoint, no serious short
age is in sight We are fortunate in
having water collection, storage and dis
tribution facilities in the District area
sufficient to take care of the needs of
our present population. But as the
Washington area continues to grow, an
other drought like this one could have
serious effects.
Oflcials in charge of the local water
system evidence no concern over the
dwindling flow in the river. There is
still plenty Of water coming down from
the upper sources of the river to meet
all needs today. The flow averages
about a billion gallons a day-as COM
pared with seven times that amount last
June. That is still enough for normal
requirements Of city of this size, plus
Arlington and other users. II the rain
fall shortage should extend into the
fall, however, some restrictions on use
might be in order.
BY coincidence, story in last Sun
days Star on the current drought and
its effects on the river appeared along
side a news story predicting that the
Districts population would exceed mil
lion by 1870. That would mean an in
crease Of rs per cent over the 1855 CEN
Sus estimate. Such growth, with its
greatly increased demands for water,
would present real water problem If
there were 1870 rainless summer. 1t
is against this background of possible
future water needs that the Army Engi-
neers are surveying the Potomac basin
and planning facilities for impounding
water as reserve in emergencies, as well
as for flood control and other purposes.
Today'S foresight may avert a disaster
in some future year.

A MHIionoire?

I want to thank The Star
for making me Q millionaire,

agonizing so. seconds. When
I read S. BIS letter saying /

year which requires me to do
two out Of three operations
for Uncle Sam. / experienced
first fiscal ecStacy, and then
depression. Wishfully my
cupidity sought to decode the
limited identity Of my fairy
godfather. s. B. really would
sob II he knew ] have guessed
the missing link.
/ now know how Cinderella
felt when her coach turned
back into q pumpkin and her
horses into mice. As q family
doctor, I do not do and never
have done operations. And
the only $50 fees / have ever
charged were in preatomic
days, before my return from
New Guinea and the Philip
pines. after Woyld War II.
In those halcyon days, 1
made q charge Of $50 for q
delivery which included both
normal prenatal and post
partum care. And, many is
the time q struggling young
couple needed a repeat
delivery before their proceed
mg one was paid. l soon
learned it was wiser to for
U1ve their unpaid debt and
trust that the future would
be kinder to both of us.
Strange to say, it was.
I no longer do obstetrics,
out / have q vital interest
in this. the most satisfying
and creative Of medical arts
and sciences. God willing,
our family obstetrician will
deliver three more grand
children this year. to add to
the eight we already have.
If despite the fact I neither
operate nor deliver and still
am filthily rich, S. B. will

Johnson Leads New Democratic Unity

Whatever happens to the
pending civil rights bill, Sen
ator Lyndon johnson OF
Texas energies as the man
who has done more to close
the gap between the North
ern and Southern wings of
the Democratic Party than
any other in q couple Of dec
AIDES. The majority leader
Of the Senate, in q kind of
miracle operation, brought
about the passage Of a civil
rights measure through the
Senate without a filibuster
by the Southern Democrats.
He had at the same time all
Of the Northern and West
ern Democrat Senators vot-
ing for the passage Of the bill
except one-Morse Of Oregon,
who declared the bill was not
strong enough for him. And
as for the Senators from the
solid South" of whom
johnson is one, four Joined
with the party leader in sup
port Of the bill. and the rest
voted no." with no sign Of a
filibuster.
II this rapprochement be-
tween the Northern and
Southern Democrats develops
and improves it can make a
vast difference In Congress
where legislation is handled.
in party national conventions
and in general electionS-as
for example. In the 1860
presidential race.
Democrats Hand lin Glove
Such q union Of Democrats
will bring no Joy to the Re-
publicans, who have spent a
great deal Of time and effort
showing how disunited their
opposition party has been,
and with q great deal to
prove it. Not since the early
days Of the New Deal have
the Northern and Southern
Democrats worked together
hand-in-glove. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, while he appointed
Negroes to high office and
gave relief aid to millions of
them in the depression, never
put a civil rights bill on his
must program" But he and
Mrs. Roosevelt won to the
Democratic Party the great
mass Of Negro voters who in
the past had voted Republi-
can. So President Roosevelt
was able to keep the South
ern States voting for him
and at the same time pleased
the Negroes and the voters
Of the North and West. 1t
remained for President Harry
s. Truman, aided in part by
Senator Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota, to create a situa-
ton that drove q deep wedge
in the Democratic Party.
Truman placed civil rights
legislation on his program
and demanded its passage.
Senator Humphrey, at the
Democratic National Conven-
ton Of 1913. brought in a
minority report from the
Resolutions Committee sup
porting a strong civil rights
plank in the national plat
form and succeeded in max

ing the convention adopt it.
In the ensuing election, Pres
ident Truman was elected,
but four of the Southern
States broke away and voted
for the Dixiecrat candidate,
now Senator Thurmond of
South Carolina. Humphrey
was elected to the Senate.
He had been Mayor of Min
neapolis. In 1852 and again
in 1856. the Democratic pres
idential candidate, Adlai Ste
vension. lost the electoral
votes Of four and then five of
these States.
Democrats Need the South
No Democratic President
since the Civil War has been
elected without the support
Of the solid South-the
eleven States which seeded
except President Truman,
who was fortunate enough
to gain the vote Of the agri-
cultural Middle West and
West. It's important, there
fore, to bring them back into
line for the presidential cleo
ton Of 1860. If the Southern
Democrats. even though they
may not like the measure, are
willing to take the civil rights
bill which Senator johnson is
handing them and try it out,
a long step will have been
made toward a unified
party. Apparently the
Northern and Western
Democrats are willing to 60
along, too. The whole thing
may blunt the edge of the
issue which has divided the
two wings of the party.
johnson, who supported
Roosevelt and the New Deal,
is both moderate and liberal.
Certainly his recent and great
success as party leader in
the Senate is bringing him
more and more into the
limelight as a potential NOM
inee for President. Should he
win such a nomination, he
would be the first Southerner
to be nominated by the
Democrats for President in a
hundred years-1860 to 1860.
There have been plenty Of
able men from that section
who would have made excel
lent Presidents, but the fear
has always been they would
not be accepted by the voters
OF the North and West. It
is this fear which may be a
principal hurdle confront
ing Senator johnson If he
seeks the nomination three
years hence. With many of
the Negro leaders and labor
leaders expressing a wiling
ness to go along with the
johnson civil rights bill-and
johnson viii certainly get the
credit for putting the bill
through the Senate without
a f1libuster if it becomes law
the Texas Senator may turn
out to be far more acceptable
to the Democratic Party than
seemed possible at the OPEN
ing Of the present session of
Congress. Then the division
between the Northern and
Southern Dem ocrats APP
peared a deep chasm.

This time, Jones was pre-

He drew from his pocket a

So Jones got a fine big

he would rely on stones. a
