author of many magazine articles

Southern Heritage"
Described by Mr.. Barron as "a
prophet gifted with gentle ma
ture and a great love for his native
land, the South, Mr., Dabbs gave
several reasons why he is thank
| full for what the Lord has given
him and his people. One was for
| the background of a Christian
home.
4 so far as am concerned" he
sad. more depends on this than
anything else" Then he described
the summer evenings of his boy
hood on the porch of the old home
on the farm where he now lives.
He said he sat ON the edge of the
porch while his parents and other
relatives were in the chairs be-
hind him. They were not just liv-
ing relatives, he sensed, but mis-
people and his background for
generations gone.
In the treetops | saw the
Milky Way and all the great
stars" Mr. Dabbs said, and be-
yond the well curb and the hick
ory tree only the dark. But there
was feeling of assurance that
everything would be all right.
This feeling came from the rich
background of Christian home
Out of this circle of love you 20
out into the world to seek what
you already know In this strange
world you hope to create some
thing orderly like you left behind :"
Mr.. DabbS said he was thankful
the world was filled with questions
and problems. And for a will to
risk and to adventure to seek
Kipling's something hid beyond
the ranges He was thankful for
1.-THE desire to be creative and face
problems and be alive. Life be-
comes dull when there are no
problems, he said.
One of these problems he is
thankful to be able to face, the
speaker said, is that Of the clash
between races Rising in 0

seat at the conference table where
he can talk man TO man This is
good for the whites, who have
suffered because for 50 long they
have not had justice demanded OF
Them. Power corrupts."
Further along in his talk Mr.
lDabbs said, The Negro is gra-
ciously offering US many things we
Ineed He described some of these
as having to do with service IN
the field of work and economics
and some with love and brother

Election in Guatemala

1t Is now up to Guatemala's Con-
gresS to decide who Is to be the country's
President. General Miguel Ydigoras
Fuentes. the rightist candidate. has
emerged from Sundays election with
big lead, but not enough to give him an
absolute majority Of the votes. Hence,
in keeping with the Guatemalan conSti-
tuition, the legislative branch Of the
government must choose between him
and his closest rival.
According to the latest unofficial
returns. this rival appears to be the
leftist Mario Mendez Montenegro, who
is possibility that a recount of the
ballots will show him trailing behind
Jose Luis Cruz Salazar, the middle-of-
the-road candidate representing the
party Of the late President Carlos Cas-
tillo Armas Should that turn out to be
the case, then the CongresS-which is
made up largely of members Of that
party-might well be tempted to place
Mr.. Cruz Salazar In the presidency
The chances are, however, that Gen.
eral Ydigoras will be chosen. This is
so not only because he has won a solid
plurality, but also because decision to
deny him the office would almost GER
tainly set of serious disorders. His sup
porters have left little room for doubt
about that, and apparently they mean
what they say--just as they meant 1t
last october when they unleashed vio-
lence in the streets and forced the Con-
gress to nullify the presidential election
held at that time, an election In which
he blamed his defeat on fraud.
In these circumstances, It seems
more than probable that General Ydig-
oras will be Guatemala's next President.
A former diplomat and high government
official, he is a man of considerable ex-
perience, but there are those who fear
that he has strong dictatorial leanings
and may undo much of the good work
done in the three-year period between
the overthrow OF the Red-inflltrated
Arbenz regime and the assassination Of
Mr.. Castillo Armas last July. Despite
such misgivings, however, 1t would be
presumptuous to pass judgment on him
before he has taken ONCE or had q
chance to unfold his policies.

Had Enough

Foreign policy is no longer
a minor element Of American
life, for the whole future Of
the American people will be
determined largely by the
manner OF our future particle
patton in the world commu-
nifty Of nations.
In view of this, why are
whole bureaucracies assigned
to every petty domestic prob
lem while the vital issues on
which the whole future of
Americans depends are given
over TO the judgment of such
narrow-minded individuals as
the present Secretary Of
State?
Instead Of acting on the
will and desire of the Ameri-
can people. the State Depart
ment has acted on some sort
Of illusion that it has the pre-
rogative Of deciding what the
will and desire Of the Ameri-
can people should properly
be! The State Department
concludes that We are un-
informed. We do not under
stand our own heritage. our
obligations. or what the prin-
ciples Of integrity and de-
mocracy consist of.
The Kremlin doesn't have
to fret about the matter of
''burying" US. We have our
own do-it-yourself kit-the

Voters Breathing Spell

The proposal that Arlington voters
be given a breathing spell between
County Board election campaigns makes
lot OF sense. Under the present annual
election system the campaigning for
votes never seems to end in the county.
And the campaigning m recent years
often has been marked by bitter fac
tional strife and personality clashes con-
fusing to the voters and disruptive Of
community teamwork
The plan suggested by Board Men,
Der David KrupSaw calls for elections
every two years. While this system
might not eliminate the factional war
fare, at least 1t would give the voters
respite from what Mr.. Krupsaw de-
scribed as the annual heat and bitter
ness" which have cleft the community
suffering from an itching rash of law
suits" 1t is not surprising that the
proposal has been greeted with general
approval by members Of both of the par
tisan factions in Arlington and by
others.
There are complications in the way
OF a change, however, that would have
to be solved, perhaps by legislation.
There are f1ve board members in Ar
lington, each serving a four-year term.
Every fourth year two members are
elected, while In the intervening years
only one is chosen. This makes It diff
ficult to accomplish the reform. How
ever, II the plan can be worked out
satisfactory it will save money as we'll

ing in Arlington.

Dear Sir:

umn is a must with me.

Temp Jones vitamins are
named the Common sense
brand.
This is the original vita
min," or life principle.
IN recent years. the word
has been applied mostly to
tablets. capsules and liquids
containing certain constitu-
ents Of foods.
Jones believes that COM
mon sense. literally provided
in life. will lead to a certain
amount Of health. II not
wealth, and comfort.
After all. nothing can pro-
vide wealth except good
fortune or a certain astute-
ness in money matters.
The good combination of
health and comfort usually
comes only from using COM
mon sense in the everyday
life.
Let us see how Jones does
1t.
First of all. he wants 1t
known that this is. definitely,
not Dragging.
He merely sees how so
many people come to grief
by not using common sense
as they so along.
They rush in where angels
fear to tread. then wonder
what went wrong.
often they do things any
ordinary plain thinking
person would brand as wrong.
or foolish. or not worthwhile.
or dangerous. or leading to
nothing.
They eat foolish combina-
tons. then complain because
they get indigestion.

Defense Report

The Senate Preparedness subcom-
mittee has returned unanimous report,
and this is tribute to the skill and,
one might say, the wisdom of Senator
Lyndon Johnson.
In matter of this kind, however.
a price has to be paid for a unanimous
report. The price in this instance is a
bland report which says little II any
thing that has not been said before, and
which Is remarkably free of significant
new conclusions.
This Is not said to belittle the work
OF the subcommittee. It has done q
great deal of work and 1t has laid a
foundation from which important pro-
posals may be expected to emerge. Sem
ator Johnson listed II recommendation
made to the subcommittee. Several Of
these are highly controversial and the
testimony which the subcommittee re-
ceived concerning them was conflicting
and confusing. The majority leader
says that these recommendations will
receive careful consideration" and he
promises that they will be evaluated in
the light Of the facts-carefully, thor
oughly and prudently" The real test
will come with the subcommittee's re-
port on these recommendations and the
most timid Of timid souls would not
hesitate to predict that this report will
not be unanimous.
Even at this stage, however, Senator
Johnson has something to show for
his subcommittee's work He cited Il
. actions" taken by the Secretary Of De-
tense since the investigation began.
These viii be helpful. and It Is fair to
say, although Senator Johnson refrains
: from saying 1t, that they are q result,
in part at least Of prodding by the
subcommittee.
One final word should be said, per-
hapS, on the partisan aspects Of this
investigation. Senator Johnson has been
quite successful, so far, in soft-pedaling
narrow partisanship. But partisan poll
tics turks just beneath the surface, and
will erupt before the investigation Is
finally completed. This is unavoidable,
and, assuming It win not be carried TO
extreme lengths, 1t Is not necessarily q
bad thing. For ours, after all, Is a two
party political system, and an election
is coming up. 1t would be unrealistic
to suppose that there will be no poll
ticking with the fruits OF this inquiry.
and the people should not be encouraged,
70 believe there will be none.

Park Program Stalled

Maryland has made fine progress
In preserving and developing nearby
stream valley parks under the Capper-
Cramton Act program. But the program
is far from complete. While about 90
per cent Of the land earmarked for parks
In Prince Georges County has been
bought, only go per cent Of the program
has been finished In Montgomery
County. Federal funds, granted in the
past ION a matching basis, soon will be
used up. There is understandable
urgency, therefore, in the plea to Con-
gress for additional funds with which
to carry out the long-range park plans.

InteoTotion Foes

Men like Gov. Almond.
Gov. Faubus and Senator
Russell are doing irreparable
harm to this country. These
are leaders who have sworn
to uphold the Constitution.
They are In the best posi-
ton to influence the think
ing Of millions Of people.
When these leaders condi-
ton the thinking and reac-
ton Of the masses by pre-
dieting that indignation is
impossible and that many
tragedies will result from
any mingling Of the races,
they are instigating dissen-
sion and antipathy.
At q crucial time like this.
when people all over the
world are concerned for their
safety. We appear ridiculous
when our politicians publicly
admit that the paramount
issue with them is to see that
no Negro child shall sit In
the same classroom with a
white child and that there be
no meeting where Negroes
may sit with whites. although
such a meeting could bring
about understanding and
brotherhood.
