East Front Views

Until the publication OF
The Stars series Of stories on
the Capitol. ! was one of
many architects who have
been completely confused by
articles in the public press
and in the organs Of the
American Institute Of Archi-
tects telling Of the terrible
devastation which is being
proposed.
Now that you have ex-
planned the condition Of the
Capitol and have clarified the
effect Of the dome overhang,
! cannot see where any van
dalism is imminent.
Thank you for straighten-
ing me out.
James Yates Bruce,
Allender Bruce-Parrish,

st. Petersburg, Fla.
After reading your articles
and others on the remodeling
Of the east front Of the Capt.
toll. I feel compelled to voice
my opinion. Having been in
the stone business for II
years. both cutting and set
ting, I feel qualified to speak
as an authority on the DIFF
ferent qualities Of stone.
The stone used in the east
front of the Capitol, Aqua
Greek sandstone, chosen no
doubt because Of its availa-
bility this stone was brought
by barge from the quarry at
Aqua Greek. Virginia. to
Washington is probably the
most porous stone ever used
in the construction Of build
ings. Sandstone will absorb
more water than either lime
stone. marble or granite. The
deterioration of stone work
is caused mainly by the water
absorbed freezing then thaw-
ing. Even painting does not
exclude all moisture.
I feel that II the present
walls Of the Capitol are not
changed. either by veneering
or new walls Of a different
material, 1t will be only a
question Of time mot too dis
tant future) when the pres
ent sandstone will have dis
integrated beyond repair.
Refacing, as some have
suggested. is not the answer.
as removing "a inch or more
will not remedy any Of the
structural defects and the
surface would still have to be
painted. It is a disgrace that
the Capitol's east front must
be painted TO keep 1t water
tight and hide its defects.
Can you imagine what
tourist attraction the Pyra-
mids and the Sphinx would
have II they were painted?

before, are fast enough in
company they like, but they
make up for it on boarding
buses.
They fairly crawl aboard.
Ask any operator. He will
tell you that an old lady with
a crutch positively sprints
when compared with the loco
motion of little Johnny who
can't read.
Our boy was is minutes
late, by now, and still the
driver showed no intention Of
speeding up. He managed to
miss the blamed light again.
'Drat it," or words to that
effect. said the passenger. II
wish you'd hurry. I'm late
to work"
The driver, by an inclina-
ton of his head. a really
dramatic gesture, seemed
somehow to indicate that this
was not his fault at all.
IF you would get up is
minutes early" his gesture
seemed to say. you would
have no trouble at ALL"
The young man. eager with
anticipation of life. as all
young men are. aren't they,
could find no answer at all,
except to say:
II guess I'll have to turn
you in"
This is a remark that al
most invariably makes a bus
driver see red.
But this particular driver
was immersed on traffic, or
something. He steadfastly
drove on. at a snail's pace.
while our hero fidgeted his
way to the door.
There was Just one more
hurdle to 60 over, one more
river to cross. and this was
a three-minute wait at Thir-
tenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
At last! The light changed,
and the bus shot forward.

Have you ever listened to
a gang Of bus passengers
going down the back steps?
It is one of the strange
sounds of the modern city.
the city in which everybody
is in a hurry except the
driver who takes you to work.
His only hurry is to get back
home alive. Don't be i'm
patient with him. Your own
safety often depends upon
him.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Democrats on q Scare Drive
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Judging from some of the
Democratic speeches made
during the Easter recess of
Congress the Democrats still
are intent on soaring the
American people (a) on the
economic situation and (b)
on the international situation,
with particular regard to the
threat Of international COM
munism and Soviet Russia.
This kind of tactics is de-
signed to make votes for
Democratic candidates in the
congressional and State cleo
tions next November.
Take, for example, the ad-
dress Of Democratic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler at
Huntingburg, Ind, Tuesday
night. His theme was "Over-
ride President Eisenhower's
veto Of the high, rigid farm
price supports bill" He pic
tured a wide depression, with
millions more people out of
work II this bill is not permit
ted to become a law. "Mr. Eli
senhower is continuing this
Republican administrations
agricultural policies that
started the farm depression
five years ago which has now
spread to the rest of the
economy" Mr.. Butler said.
Mr.. Butler failed to say
anything about the serious
drop-of in farm prices and
farm economy which occurred
in the last years Of the Tru-
man administration. Nor
did he mention the fact that
the high and rigid supports
for "basic crops" which the
vetoed farm bill wished to
have made effective for the
next year, were in effect dur
ing the Truman adminiStra-
ton and also during much of
the Eisenhower administra-
ton, and did not stop the
drop in farm prices and farm
income. Not only was Mr..
Butler trying to scare the
farmers Of the country. but
also the city jewellers, pic
turing the farmers as leaving
the farms in droves and clut-
tering up the labor markets
in the cities and towns.
For Many Remedies
Also Mr.. Butler in his cam
paigning Is taking a strong
stand in support of the many
remedies, including tax cut
ting and huge deficit spend
ing projects, which have been
advanced by Democrats in
Congress to check the recess
sion and stimulate recovery.
He does not like President
EiSenhower's attitude Of
waiting to give the economy
a chance to do q little recov-
ering on its own. aided by
industry and the American
people, themselves. In fact.
he sounds overweight in his
declaiming against the idea
that perhaps things may i'm
prove.
THE Republican attack
launched against the Demo-
cratic antirecession pro-
gram" he asserts. sis born
of desperation in the face of
a serious recession and an
upcoming congressional cam
paign. But that does not ex-
cuse the Republican Party
for its shabby politics in the
light of human suffering and

Gods impatient young
man
He was already late to
work, and he naturally de-
sired to lay the blame on the
bus driver.
The bus driver had his own
ideas about the delay.
It was true traffic was
heavy, and it was true that
the lights changed "red" Just
when they shouldn't.
Everyone has had this ex-
perience.
No doubt Gen. George
Washington suffered in much
the same way when his coach
was going through George
town up High street. as Wis
consin avenue was called
then.
Our boy was so swift, he
hated the whole thing.
The lurching bus. the
crawling traffic. the mental
picture Of the boss with a
big B.
These things. and one
more
That damned driver.
Bus drivers have to suffer a
lot in this world.
They are blamed because
people simply won't get UP on
time. they are blamed because
everybody in town has the
same idea of going to the
same place at the same time.
they are criticized for the
faults of operation and the
faults Of management.
Everybody places the blame
on the silent. capable man at
the wheel.
IF you would go a little
faster" the young man sug-
gested.
The driver made no COM
ment.
Did you know that bus OPP
orators have been instructed
not to talk back" to the
customers?
It's a fact.
And it's a good idea, one Of
the better ideas of manage
ment with q big M.
These hardy men. our bus
drivers, have enough to do in
modern traffic without argu-
ing.
They must meet the un-
ceasing assaults of taximen.

Good Deed
G. A. Lewis.

On behalf of the children
of the United Cerebral Palsy
Therapy Center in Bladens-
burg, Md, I would like to
commend Dave GinSburg.
manager Of the Sidney Lust
Theaters, for his part in
making our Easter party for
the children such a success.
Uncle" Dave. as he is
known to all the children
in the county. brought his
trained dog. Rusty. to put
on a special performance for
the children's party.
This he did on very short
notice and at a time when
he must have been very busy
with plans for the big Easter
egg hunt at Magruder Park.
We Of the county probably
take Dave Ginsburg very
much for granted. Through
the years his enthusiasm has
never waned-each time he
seems to be having a whale
Of a good time along with
the children. Sometimes we
forget how very much OF
himself he gives.
Our letter Of thanks won't
mean half as much to Uncle"
Dave as the delighted smiles
Of the cerebral palsied chill
dren as they watched him
put Rusty, the trained dog.

tricks. But. anyway. We at
the center say. Hats of to

want caused by unempioy-
ment."
He leaves people wonder
ing what he would say if the
economy does take an up
turn. with more employment.
He might accuse the Repub-
licans of a dirty political
trick. The March rise in
unemployment has been the
smallest for five months and
the number of employed has
increased-indeed, the Gov
eminent figures show that
unemployment increased by
Is, 900 in March. while en-
ployment increased by $685.
900. This is one of the facts
which has led the President
to say that there is a slowing
up Of the downturn and hope
for improvement in the econ
omy.
The Big Issue
But Mr.. Butler comments:
1.-THE big issue facing the
American people today is
jobs, not political gains next
November. We cannot afford
to wait and see millions Of
American men and women
out of work and do nothing
about it,"
This sounds a bit disin-
genuous, coming from the
spokesman of a political
party which has shouted
predictions of economic de-
preston If the Republicans
should be in power, ever since
the days of President Hoover.
a party which has sought
votes year after year on the
plea that only the Democrats
can and will take care of the
people, and a party which
adopted the plan to spend
and spend - Government
funds taken from the tax
payers-and elect and elect.
The Democratic program,
which Mr.. Butler extols.
seems based on that same
old program.
President Eisenhower has
refused, and is refusing, to
be panicked into either tax
reduction - when revenues
are needed for national de-
tense as well as many other
Government services for the
welfare of the people - or
great deficit creating pro-
grams which cannot help the
employment situation imme-
diately but which will place
an even greater load of taxes
on the people in the future.
The President has taken
steps to improve the economic
situation and is prepared to
take others if they become
necessary. This, however.
does not suit Mr.. Butler and
other Democrats. If there is
to be recovery. they want it
said that it was the Demo-
cratic program that brought
it about. The President be-
lieves that the Government
should help where it can, but
he is not convinced that the
Government should do it all,
certainly not in a situation
where there are some 81 mil
lion employed in this coun-
try, and where the savings
Of the people are enormous.
The Democratic idea, on
the other hand, seems to be:
Let the Government do it all.
and let the Democrats con-
troll the Government.

In your editorial on Our
Tests and the Kremlin"
March 81. you attempt to
justify within our trusteeship
of the Marshall Islands the
use Of Eniwetok for nuclear
weapon tests. Granted that
the record Of the Security
Councils past action may
leave no room for doubt, and
that the Kremlin is not in a
position to throw stones, you
still have the problem Of
squaring our conduct with the
moral law.
We of the United States
like to think that our Nation
occupies a place of moral
leadership in the world. Pres
ident Truman, while in Office,
said that we are governed by
the golden rule in our rela-
tons with other nations.
Chief Justice Warren and
many other national leaders
have publicly claimed we are
Christian Nation. President
Eisenhower openly processes
his religious faith and is often
photographed ding
church. Secretary Dulles is
an eminent churchman and
has held positions of respon-
sibility in the National and
World Council Of Churches.
We stamp In God We Trust"
on our coins. and insert ''un-
der God" in the salute to the
flag. More than half of our
people are members of church
or synagogue.
Why. in spite Of all this
evidence of religious faith
End moral idealism. do we fol-
low a foreign policy that in
many respects is a contradic-
ton Of our professions? Have
We been practicing the gold
en- rule in our high-handed
treatment Of the helpless
Marshallese. or our disregard
OF Japan's appeals that we
halt nuclear tests? What
would we be saying If Russia
or Communist China were to
mark of a large area Of the
Pacific for testing bombs?
How can we morally JUS
tify a policy that may infiict
bone cancer or leukemia
upon countless little chill
dren? Granted that the scien-
lists disagree on this point,
doesn't a due regard for hui
man life dictate that we play
it safe?
Washington has roundly
condemned the Kremlin's
disrespect for human rights
in Hungary and Poland. But
what Of our disrespect for the
rights Of the Marshall Is
landers. or unborn genera
lions who cannot defend
themselves? We are unrelent-
ing toward China for her "ag-
erosion" in Korea. But what
of our aggression" on the
whole human race by poison
ing the atmosphere of the
earth with strontium 90?
The United States has a
valuable contribution to make
to the world, but it will not
make 1t by acting as If it
owns the Pacific Ocean, or
has the right to contaminate
the earth's atmosphere in the
interests Of national security.

The Case of Ezra Pound

Poet Ezra Pound has been confined
In st. Elizabeths Hospital for Is years.
He was indicted for treason in 1943, the
charge being based on broadcastS SYM
pathetic to Mussolini which Pound
made from Italy during the war.
The poet was picked up by Ameri-
can troops after Italy fell. Returned to
this country he was found to be men,
tally unfit to stand trial, and has been
confined since in st. Elizabeths. The
prospect is that he will not recover
sufficiently to stand trial, but that his
mental state may be such that he could
be released without danger to himself
or to others. The law firm headed by
Thurman Arnold is expected to file
petition seeking Pounds release within
the next few days.
There is no doubt, of course, that
Pound made the broadcaStS attributed
to him, for they were monitored and
recorded. There may be doubt as to
his sanity at that time, however. Pound
finished The PiSan Cantos" (for which
he was awarded the 81, 900 Bollingen
Prize in Poetry while in military GUS
tody after his arrest. Consider these

way have interceded in Pounds behalf
Furthermore, the poet now is 70 years
old and his wife is able to care for him.
Considering all the circumstances. 1t
does not seem to us that the ends of
justice will be served by the continued
confinement of this man.
