Choose yourself an unat-
tractive wife II you want to live
a long and healthy life"
That oriental gem of wisdom
by Premier Chang Chun of For
mosa has one fatal flaw which
Confucius would sum up as
follows:
Man with unattractive wife
have no desire for long life,
and much happier with ances-
tors real young"
Paul McIIvaine.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-27

The letter published June 20,
and signed by seven presi-
dents Of chapters Of the League
of Women Voters, as q part
Of the nationwide campaign
Of that organization to con-
tinue the foreign aid program,
raises doubts about many
things.
For example. how many Of.
the signers are mothers? How
many Of them are versed in
American and international
history?
This Nation grew to first
place among nations without
foreign political entanglements
or donations of our hard earned
money being taxed out of our
pockets into foreign treasures.
Woodrow Wilson, who kept
us out of war" against all
American traditions. took US
into a European war Zone Of a
series that has been fought
for centries). Then Wilson
disregarded world history. by
decreeing that the victors. not
the vanquished. would pay the
costs Of the war. To this doc
trine the British. French and
Italians objected, so Wilson
magnanimously accepted the
burden Of paying for World
War I.
Then We became active par
Elephants In European intrigue
and affairs, which cost us much
in money and prestige, but
gained us little but the sour
reputation Of being foolish
easy marks. We continued to
pay foreign costs. even after
Britain and France had told US
to 80 home from Germany.
We watched Britain and
France bungle another Euro
pean war but. disregarding the
history Of events following
Wilson, we again entered q war
in Europe. became entangled
in a war in the Pacific and
eventually won both. In the
Pacific we again discarded his
tory and gave back to Euro
pean countries those colonies
they had lost through conquest
to the Japs. and which we had
regained through conquest.
Which, according to history,
made them our possessions.
This participation under Roo
sevelt the Lesser. who said:
Il say 1t again and again and
again. etcetera." brought out
into the open the unwarranted
interference Of our State De-
partment. with the fighting
forces in the field. Thus began
the damnable European Gus
tom Of handicapping our fight
ing men to the point Of defeat.
This interference cost us the
Korean War, and thousands
OF men, when State representa-
tives (who were not too differ
ent from the commissars with
the Russians) forbade Mac
Arthur and the generals who
succeeded him. from defeating
the enemy.
Now we are buying hatred
and distrust throughout the
world by our lavish and often
foolish use Of great sums Of
money. and its distribution by
stupid people who have little
background knowledge Of in
ternational politics and in
trigue.
The letter from the pres
idents Of local League of
Women Voters raises ques-
tions: Are they mothers? II
so they should ponder this:
Our present international en-
tanglements are leading us
directly to war-and their
sons. yes and daughters, and
their grandsons and daughters
will die in tremendous num-
bers. even II we win the war
which is far from certain.

LETTERS TO THE STAR

without reference to their his
torical setting. Some portions
Of these Guides to Better Liv-
ing" are found in similar form
in the earliest of recorded his
tories five and possibly seven
thousand years ago. No doubt
some were in use long before
that. Sometimes they are
found as three or eight "Com.
mands" but more often as five.
Their great value lies in the
fact that they have survived
along with the survival Of the
human race down through
ages Of struggle.
There can be no doubt Moses
knew Of these moral guides
or commands, for his race in
its travels had been in close
touch with many other early
races. He used these guides or
commands to help lead his
people and got more attention
and observance by saying they
came direct from God. Some
Of our religious leaders use the
same methods today. The sur
vival Of these ancient COM
mands as well as survival Of
the human race is due to God,
but God now and always per-
forms his wonders not through
supernatural means or mir
acles but through the orderly
operation Of the laws Of nature.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Pressure for Action on Civil Riohts
BY GOULD LINCOLl

There is building up today
increasing determination to
get action on the Presidents
civil rights bill before the adj
journment Of the present ses-
sion Of Congress. Nothing has
been finally decided. But it is
known that Republican leader
Knowland Of the Senate and
some of the liberal Democrats
are anxious to bring the ex-
pected battle over the civil
rights legislation to a climax
as early as possible. It seems
clear that Senator Knowland.
however, will make a searching
canvass of the strength Of the
proponents Of the measure, as
well as that Of the opponents,
before seeking to bring the bill
before the Senate for action.
But one thing is certain. If he
does move to take up the civil
rights bill it will be for the pur-
pose Of getting a final vote on
the bill before adjournment
this summer. He is not inter-
ested in making any kind Of
futile play. The California
Senator knows well that the
Democrats from the South will
Immediately start a filibuster.
He is perhaps more familiar
with leading a fight to break
a filibuster in the Senate, and
what it takes. than any Of his
colleagues. For he broke one,
as Republican leader Of the
Senate in the SD Congress, A.
nally overriding the opposition
to the atomic energy bill.
There are two ways of Fore
ing a vote in the Senate when
the opposition undertakes to
filibuster it to death by the
simple and permitted course Of
unlimited debate. The first is
to invoke the so-called cloture
rule which, if brought into play,
forces an end to debate. Under
the present rules Of the Senate,
a motion for cloture requires
an affirmative vote Of "a, or
two-thirds Of the entire MEM
bership Of the Senate. This
goes for today, even though
there are only IS members, due
to the death Of Senator Nc
Carthy of Wisconsin. An cleo
ton is to be held in August to
I'LL the vacancy, and until that
time 80 members Of the Senate
voting mo" would be sufficient
to defeat a cloture motion. Or
dinarily in the full Senate it
requires 80.
Filibuster Procedure
Senator Knowland's alter
native to forcing a vote on
civil rights would be to keep
the Senate in continuous ses-
sion until. because of ex-
haustion, the opponents would
be unable to continue the
fight. This method of ending
a fllibuster has. its advantages.
The Southern f1libusterers will
begin work Immediately a
motion is made to take up the
civil rights bill. They will
string out the unlimited de-
bate as long as they can. But
if debate comes to an end,
because they can no longer
continue. and the bill Is actu-
ally before the Senate, Sena-
tor Knowland can continue to
demand continuous session
without any intermission. BY
such means he could force a
vote on the passage as wen as
on all amendments. This could
be done without giving the OPP
position any opportunity to
gather strength for q second
fllibuster.
The civil rights bill is today
