Spotlight on Hungary

Although II can do nothing to change
the situation in a direct or immediate
sense, the new United Nations commits
sion on Hungary promises to play useful
moral and historical role in investigating
the dark events that have occurred, and
are still occurring, in that oppressed and
tormented country
At any rate, by vote of SO to g. with
10 abstentions, the U. N. General Assem-
bly, has made clear to the world, and
particularly to the Hungarian people, that
the issue of the Kremlin'S brutal armed
intervention is not going to be filed away
and forgotten. Instead. the new COM
misunderstanding of representatives Of
Australia, Tunisia, Ceylon, Denmark and
Uruguay-is specifically charged with the
responsibility of keeping the spotlight on
what has been happening. And its work
in that respect, in terms of conscience
and sense of humanity, should have
more than little impact on international
public opinion.
Together with his Soviet masters. of
course, puppet Premier Kadar-who has
been in Moscow for urgent consultations
has rallied against all this as an in
fringement of sovereignty" and he has
served notice that the five-nation in
veStigating commission will be barred
from entering Hungary But the COM
mission, by interviewing refugees and fol-
lowing related lines of inquiry, should
nonetheleSS be able to gather for the u N.
great deal of enlightening information
about the mass rebellion for freedom, the
Kremlin'S savage counteraction, and the
present grim status of the liberty seeking
Hungarian people.
True, an investigating and watch
dog" operation of this sort will not in
itself be capable of freeing Hungary. Yet,
by exposing the facts of the situation to
the white light of world publicity, it will
be keeping history straight, and at the
same time, morally and psychologically,
1t can help to bolster the spirit of the
Hungarian people. Indeed, in its own
way, 1t may we'll serve as a restraining
influence on the men of the Kremlin and
perhaps even persuade them, eventually,
to abandon their present repressive policy
as losing proposition.

mum capacity. While Eisen-
hover made more personal
appearances in more places
than had originally been
planned, he did not barnstorm
or take any "whistlestop" train
rides. His campaigning did
not really get under way until
about the last week in Septem-
Der. Even so, Halls view now
is that the campaign was too
long, and could have been
shortened. The people. Hall
insists, get tired and bored
with long campaigning.
Long Experience in Politics
The retiring national chair
man knows the great game Of
politics. He has been at it a
long time for so young a man.
While he was in the House Of
Representatives, he headed the
Republ ican Congressional
Committee, whose job is to
elect Republican House. If
he hadn't liked politics and
hadn't believed he could serve
his party and his country, he
would not have allowed him.
self to be drafted for the ma
tional Craftsmanship in early
1858. He gave up l4-year
job, paying $4,000 a year, as
surrogate judge in Nassau
County, N. Y, to come to
Washington and serve as ma
tional chairman without pay.
In the past Republican nation
al chairmen have been paid in
some instances between 800
900 and $4,000 asyear.
In the telegram he sent
members of the national COM
mittee announcing his resigna-
ton plans, Hall clearly in
dicated he is not through with
politics. He wrote: II want to
thank each of you for your
friendship and cooperation
and assure you that my serv-
ice to my country and my
party has not ended"
Hall, like James A. Farley
who ran the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's cam
paigns for nomination and for
election in 1882 and 1886, was
fortunate in having a greatly
popular candidate, Dwight D.
Eisenhower. This does not
alter the fact that, like Farley,
Hall is a popular figure in his
own right, a great organizer
and a postmaster at politics.
important ingredients for a
national chairman of any ma
jor political party.
President Eisenhower gave
his own estimate of Hall and
his services. in a statement ex-
pressing regret that the chair
man was stepping out of Of

great chairman" and under
Halls guidance the Ropub-
lican Party has been re-
vitalized and reorganized. The
President is in a position to

Len Hall steps out of office
the most popular national
chairman-and the most sue
ceSSful-the Republican Party
has had in years. His decision
to retire has brought express
sions of regret from President
Eisenhower and Vice Presi-
dent Nixon. But beyond that
party leaders all over the coun-
try have expressed not only
regret, but some measure of
CONSERVATION. In four years
time they have come to look on
Hall as a bulwark, someone to
lead and someone to whom to
turn in time Of stress. They
will miss him, ard they realize
it will be difficult to find a new
chairman who really can fill
his shoes adequately.
After four years, however,
Len Hall believes, he should
move on. He has successfully
been Congressman. judge and
national chairman. There ap-
parently already has been a
decision to make use of him
in a high post in the Eisen-
hover Administrations Fed
eral job. Perhaps, eventually
a Cabinet office. 1t is suspected
however, that such employ
ment will be temporary; that
Hall has his eyes set on a
gubernatorial nomination next
year in New York. Gov. Averell
Hartman. Democrat. who won
election in 1854 by a scant
10000 plurality. has an
nounced he will seek re-elec-
ton. Hall may cash in on his
service to his party and be
nominated and elected to the
Office which has sometimes
been called the second highest
executive job in the Nation
Governor of New York.
Faced Unusual Problems
The national craftsmanship
has become an all-year round.
tough job. Len Hall has had
four years of it. No national
chairman was ever faced with
quite the same problems as
confronted him in late 1855
and early 1856. The candidate
for the presidential nomination
on whom Republican hopes
were solidly based-the candi-
date who had come to be con-
sidered a sine qua non-suf-
fered a heart attack. With
everything crashing about his
head, Hall said repeatedly that
the President-who had the
heart attack-would run again

by his constant faith.
And after the President had
recovered and announced his
intention of running. along
came a major operation which
put the President TO bed again.
This produced another tenn
porary crisis. and Hall again
had to reassure his Republican
colleagues. That's all water
over the dam. and the President
is about to begin his second
term.

legislatures Task

The last paragraph of The
Star editorial of January 2,
entitled Legislatures Task, "
stated that "a reversion to in
tracounty planning instead of
intercounty planning by a
joint agency would be looked
upon by regional planners as
a backward step"
There are significant num-
Der of professional planners
who are engaged IN regional
planning and others who are
interested in regional planning
for the WASHINGTON area who
disagree with this statement.
The planning problems fac
ing Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties are twofold:
Those related to the respective
counties and therefore local.
and those affecting the entire
Metropolitan Area, Of which
both Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties are compo-
nent parts.
The local planning problems
can only be solved by an
agency responsible to the local
government with its planning
activities integrated with the
various departments of That
government.
The Metropolitan Area plan-
ming can effectively be solved
through a planning agency
embracing the whole area and
therefore outside the scope of
either county delegation or the
Maryland Legislature.

Hungary and Clinton

Although many people are
wondering about the effect of
entry into our country by a
lot of Hungarians. Charles v.
Carriers letter TO your paper
deploring our concern for the
freedom fighters in Europe
and comparing them to the
mobsters who created small
riots in Clinton is unadulter-
ated nonsense. Whereas the
people of Hungary fought
against fascism, the segrega-
tionists in Clinton would defy
any law or court order some
of its people don't like.
The kind of argument Mr..
Carter advances in support of
the attempt of the rioters, who
listened to Kasper at Clinton,
is the same line of reasoning
that caused the South to COM
nit political and economic sui
eide over the issue of slavery.
Mr.. Carter and David Law
renee are incensed because
those who defied the Federal
court order will be tried by a
judge instead of being tried
before a jury of local citizens.
In many areas of the South
a jury cannot be found which
would support the law as laid
down by the Supreme Court
of the United States. In fact,
in some places juries cannot be
found which would condemn
a white citizen for numbering
a Negro on any pretense.
OF course Messrs. Carter and
Lawrence both resort to the
States rights doctrine to make
war on the edicts Of the Su-
preme Court. Neither seems
concerned over the fact that
no State has the right to
abridge the rights of Federal
citizens living in its borders.
Both would have Federal citi-
zenship limited in interpreta-
ton and practice to the mores
and laws of each individual
State. 1t would be more in
keeping to compare the fight
for freedom in Hungary with
the splendid efforts being made
by Negroes in the South to OBJ
tain the freedoms supposedly
theirs under our Federal Con-
stitution.

with a square chromosome

1t is as good an explanation

Jones once met a man from
his home State.

It's people always say Hi"

It's girls are the prettiest.

brick houses the strongest.
Temp Jones went out of his
way to try to talk to this
fellow.
The fellow wouldn't respond.

least. kept at him.
For weeks, for months, for
years, he tried to engage him

When he got as far as en-
surfing himself cordial Good
Morning." he rested on his
oars.
This was as much as could
be expected. This was smooth
ing off the chromosomes a bit,
making them mesh to a GER
tain degree.
There isn't too much you
can do about it, after all. A
little is a whole lot, from
some people.
The gabby man. who talks
to you and never stops, is at
the other end of the road.
Sometimes you wish that he
would not speak.
If we could only take a bit
from one. and something from
another, and glue them to-
gether in some mental way.
we could create people closer
to our hearts desire, and may
be they would be better, and
maybe they wouldn't. Without
question. they wouldn't be as
interesting. and not half as
much fun.

to stop her because we will not

the same. She would use the

while, would be interested only
in organizing the countries she
has occupied. BY reversing the
attitude of other European
conquerors. she would attempt
by intelligent means to work
for the good of those coun-
tries. and give each as much
freedom as possible, yet keep
them disorganized. Eventually
things would settle to a new
normal and there would be
unity. Approaches would be
made, and agreements arrived
at between the Western and
the Eastern Hemispheres. with
a new world government being
born in place Of the U. N.
This, I predict. will come to

Mass Culture

The other day l bought a
copy of the final issue of Col
lier's m gaZine - an event
which marks a journalistic
tragedy; for besides Golfers
there will also disappear from
the newstands the Woman's
Home Companion. And as for
the Am er lean Magazine, it
already has walked the plank!
This is a shock-but the
kind of journalistic shock to
which we old-timers are by
now pretty well accustomed.
For after the catastrophe de-
mise of the famous Boston
Transcript, the death of other
journals of thought or fiction
seem a mere trif1e.
The Boston Transcript-the
Gibraltar of New England
Journalism, it seemed-was as
integral a part of Boston as
the Public Gardens or Beacon
Hill. The Transcript. which
had aided me to work my way
through Dartmouth as CORE
spondent for its School and
College" page. The Tran
script. this learned and deco
rous sheet of which it was
said that ladies sitting alone
in the Public Gardens held it
in their laps in lieu of a chap
eron. How could this literary
institution. which seemed so
immortal. come to an end?
But this journalistic demise
was not an isolated occurrence.
How many readers of this let
ter can recall with regret the
sHfcease one by one of those
monthly magazines edited for
the cultured and intelligent?-
Century. Scribners. McClures,
The Worlds Work, The Forum,
etc. And among weeklies--
Harper'S. The Independent.
The outlook. The Literary
Digest.
What means this high NOR
tally rate among our maya
zines of thought and culture?
Does it mean our rapidly
growing mass-culture zone of
the greatest and most preg-
nant innovations in the his
tory of civilization is displac-
ing all the so-called high
brow" literature? 1t would
seem so. The clientele of egg
heads" is not large enough!
Nothing can succeed for long
that does not command mass
sales. And even the 4,165,000
circulation of Golfers and the
4,225,000 circulation of the
Companion at the time of
their demise was not enough.
For the appetite of the ad-
vertisers is Unsuitable. And it
is the advertisers who call the
tune. for it is they who really
pay the piper.
There are those who lay the
death of Golfers to the phe-
nomenal success of the pic
torial weeklies. which require
little reading or thought but
only a pair of eyes. Or we may
blame the movies, radio-and
especially televiSion.
But whatever the causes, the
loss of these old landmarks
saddens one and reminds us
that nothing is immortal but
time itself; and that nothing
is guaranteed us in the cosmos
except change.
But why begrudge this
change from class culture to
mass culture? The latter is
more equitable, gives pleasure
to vastly more people, and
holds a future of great
promise. The general taste
for culture will slowly rise, to
what heights we cannot at
present know. So let us say,
as in the death of kings: "Aris-
tocratic Culture is dead! All
hail the new Democratic Gull
ture!"
