Advocates German

Regarding the recent con-
troversy in your columns
concerning foreign language
teaching, I believe, as a Ian
guage teacher, that there is
too much good in all our
major languages for us to
deprecate any Of them, espe-
cially when we are trying
to bring about international
understanding.
I must disagree with Paul
Russel's minimizing the i'm
portance Of French. On the
other hand, I will have to
agree with Mr.. Russell re-
garding the need for German.
The status Of German in our
public schools is deplorable.
This is due in part, and
understandable so, to the
bad taste that things Ger
man leave in many peoples
mouths, what with two wars
and the Nazi regime.
All wars aside, we trust,
what are some reasons for
German study? /. One
American In six is Of German
descent. This fact alone
should make German an i'm
portant part Of our school
curricula. The impact of
German through our immi-
grants has been. tremendous
on our American culture.
2. In our Western culture
German is exceeded in num-
berS Of speakers by only
English and Spanish. 8.
Germany is now economically
the strongest nation in West
ern Europe. This makes it
important to know their
language for business pur-
poses. 4. German scholars
in all fields are producing
floods Of significant writings.
Between 1850 and 1854 Ger
many exported over $50 mil
lion worth of books and
periodicals. 5. German stands
next to English in the OUT
put Of scientific literature.
Many university science de-
partments require a reading
knowledge Of German. 6.
Most universities require q
knowledge Of German or
French for M. A. work, Ger
man and French for Pho.
work. Z. No musician, par
ticularly vocal, can be con-
sidered well-rounded If ig-
norant Of German.
To say German is an ugly
language is ridiculous. OF
course, the language of the
unlettered German, as Of any
other nationality, is unpleas-
ant, but where can you find
anything more beautiful than
the lyrics of Goethe or
Heine?

Legacy to the Blind

Because the Eye-Bank for
Sight Restoration, Inc, has
greatly increased its educa-
tional program, over $4,000
individuals signed the eye
donor pledge last year so
that their eyes could some
day be donated to the Ma
tional Eye-Bank.
However, it is a very tragic
fact that many people still
put this request in their wills.
The Eye-Bank so often re-
ceives q copy Of a probated
will long after it is too late
to carry out the generous
wish of the deceased.
I would like to bring to
your readers attention the
fact that the donation Of
eyes to the Eye-Bank should
never be put in a will. The
only way to make certain
that such a very fine wish is
carried out is by signing the
proper eye-donor pledge and
identification card which are
included in the booklet. "A
Gift Like the Gifts of God. "
This booklet may be OBJ
tanned from the Eye-Bank
for Sight Restoration, Inc,
21O East Sixty-fourth street,
New York 81, NY.
There are over 10000 in
dividuals blind from corneal
defects who can some day
have their sight restored or
improved by the generosity
of those interested in sign
ing the correct eye-donor
pledge.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Hartman Has Problem on Ticket
By GOULD LINCOLN

Gov. Averell Hartman Of
New York, who wants in a
big way to be reelected in
November. is having troubles
over the nomination of a SEN
atorial candidate to run with
him on the Democratic tick
ct. And the nearer he gets to
the Democratic State Con-
vention, September rs and
rs, the greater the need for
o solution.
The Governor, with the aid
Of Carmine q. De Sapio,
Tammany leader and his
righthand man - who Incl
dentally put Gov. Hartman
where he is today-can i'm
pose a Senate nomination on
the convention. There is no
doubt Of their power to do so.
But the Governor wants the
conservative Democrats and
the Liberal Party both in his
corner on election day. If he
fails to have one or the other,
In a close election his politi-
cal ambitions-one of which
is q presidential nomination
In 1960--will go down the
drain. His election in 1854
was with the support Of the
Liberal Party and the con-
sentative Democrats. The lat
ter did not want Franklin
D. Roosevelt, jr., and sup
ported Mr.. Hartman for the
gubernatorial nomination, and
went along with him in the
general election. Even so, the
Governor won by only 200
votes. It Is claimed by the
Democrats today that this
Is a Democratic year." that
the trend is all their way in
the political field. It just hap
pens that 1854 was not a Re-
publican year. The Democrats
took over the control of
Congress, and picked up a
considerable number Of Gov
ernors of States which had
been held by Republicans in
that year, including New
York.
Hopes to Please All
So Gov. Hartman is
proceeding with caution,
hoping to have a peaceful
State convention and the Sc
lection Of a ticket that will
please all groups. including
the Negroes in Harlem. The
last may also prove a prob
lem for the Governor and
Mr.. De Sapio. They did their
best, particularly Mr.. De
Sapio, to turn out of ONCE
Representative Adam Clayton
Powell, jr., who has been the
Harlem Congressman for
years. They failed miserably.
Mr.. Powell was renominated
on the Democratic ticket over
City Councilman Earl Brown
by a devastating vote
1887 to 1895. Mr.. Brown
had backing of the Governor
and Mr.. De Sapio and the
party organization.
Mr.. Powell so far has de-
clined to say whether he will
support Gov. Hartman. Fur
Their, he has implied that If
he is not permitted to re-
vamp the Democratic organi-
cation in his congressional
district to his liking, he will
not support the Governor.
The reason given by Mr.. De
Sapio and the Governor for
seeking to Gust Mr.. Powell
was that in 1856 the Con-
gresham came out for Re-
publican President Eisenhower
and against the Democratic
candidate, Adlai Stevenson.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-16

Mr.. Powell's explanation was
he liked President Eisen-
hower's stand on civil rights
better than he did that Of M
Stevenson. Mr.. Powell has
been a hard and bitter fighter
for years for civil rights, one
Of his claims on Harlem'S big
Negro population. It might
not be too hard for him to
go for the COP. gubernatorial
nominee, particularly II 1t
should be Nelson A. Rookie
Teller. The Governor and Mr..
De Sapio didn't lose five min
utes in sending word, when 1t
was clear he had won over
Mr.. Brown. that they would
support him for reelection
and hoped the party would
get together. 1t happens that
the Republicans gave Mr..
Powell their nomination for
Congress, too, so that, If Mr..
Brown had defeated him for
the Democratic nomination,
Mr.. Powell still could have
run in the November election.
Mr.. Brown is left with the
Liberal Party nomination
alone-and is not likely to get
anywhere, even If the Gov
ernor and Mr.. De Sapio got
back on his wagon.
Prestige Hurt
The Powell victory was a
blow to the prestige Of Mr..
De Sapio, the Tammany
leader and, in fact, leader
Of the whole city and State,
with the Governors blessing.
1t gives them both pause
when it comes to dividing
on a Senate nomination.
The Liberal Party, which
gave Gov. Harrim a n $780,
600 in 1854 and made pos
sible his election by a mere
1920 votes. wants Thomas
K. Finletter, former Air
Force Secretary, a New York
lawyer who in 1866 led the
Stevenson forces in New
York against Gov. Har-
riman for the presidential
nomination. To be sure Of the
Liberal Party and other lib
erals In the state, Gov.
Hartman would like to have
Mr.. Finletter. But If he gives
the nod. the supporters Of
former Postmaster General
James A. Farley and other
conservative Democratic can.
didates for the Senate NOM
nation might refuse to sup
port the Governor in the gen.
eral election. This is the
lever to which Mr.. Farley
clings in his battle to win the
nomination.
If the Governor cannot have
Mr.. Finletter-an I'd 1t is
doubtful he can unless all
the power Of the gubernato-
rial Office and Of Mr.. De Sapio
is bought to bear on the con-
vention-the Governor may
have to decide between
Thomas e. Murray, former
Atomic Energy Commissioner.
and District Attorney Frank
s. Hogan Of New York
County, both like Mr.. Farley,
Irish Catholics. Rather than
offend the Irish c q tn Ollie,
conservative element in the
party, the Governor lay
have to take one Of them
but it will not be Mr.. Farley,
because the Liberal Party
does not like him. It might
go for Mr.. Murray or Mr..
Hogan.
1t is not yet all beer and
skittles for the Democratic
Party in New York.

Shares an Experience

I was delighted to see in
The Star the letter from Ar
lene L. Scheidt concerning
her experience with a So
called automobile insurance
company so closely interre-
lated with an automobile
service club.
Ny experience with this
insurance company should
have some public notice too.
For the last II years they
have cheerfully accepted my
money and have had to pay
out nothing but the commits
sion to the association.
I have driven automobiles
Al years without costing any
insurance company a cent,
and now at "a years Of
age this insurance company
thanks me for my past pa
tronage but on the expiration
date of my policy they will
not renew it. This is the
treatment for a no accident

tighten your readers on the
already complicated situation
in the Middle East. Emo
tional and over enthusiastic
pleas for Nasser cannot solve
the problem.
It is true that the Middle
East is q vital region for our
national defense and that we
need Arab friendship. Just
for setting the record straight
and to see what we can ex-
pect from Nasser, allow me
to sum up the Arab record
since World War I:
Various sources tell us that
even in 1914-17 the Arabs
would not join the Allies
against their Turkish oppreS-
sor until they were sure they
were backing the right horse
and not before they were
reimbursed with gold. In
World War II, Egypt, Iraq
and the Levant states liter
ally co-operated with the
Germans. None Of the Arab
states declared war on the
Axis before February, 1945.
and even that was done only
to qualify for United Nations
membership. None of the
Arab states ever declared war
on Japan. The Arab attitude
on the Korean war is only
too fresh in our memories to
require elaboration. Many
of the present Arab high Of
f1cials in Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Egypt and Iraq spent the war
years in Germany working
feverishly and praying ar
IDENTIFY for our defeat. Today,
only because we won that
war, some Arab states are
able to indulge in nothing but
hating us and pouring on
us the vilest type of propa-
ganda the world has ever
known.
We wish to befriend the
Arabs but we shall never buy
this friendship by sacrificing
our true allies, the Turks, the
Israelis, the Iranians or the
Ethiopians.
Once and for all let us stop
blaming Israel for whatever
Nasser does not blame her.
J. G. Engel.
Perhaps Arab memories are
not as short as ours. They
still remember the promises
made to them that the Israeli
area would be a haven and
homeland for Jews, but never
an independent state. And
they remember how approval
Of statehood was shamefully
presumed through United Ma
tons in 1913.
In regard to all the criti-
cism Of American Friends of
the Middle East. remember
that zionism, with its high
pressure propaganda, came
into being long before AFME.
