THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The latter are impossible
to see, and the sweaty hand
forms a good breeding
ground. So that hours later,
even washing does no good.
The ability of a good gar
den-sized fungus to stick to
the human skin is one of the
amazing facts of nature.
We might say, any fungus.
for the one that gets between
the toes is one of the worst
Of all. Actually. there are
many different ones,

can transfer 1t from one
place to another.
Gloves avoid this.
1t is more q matter of get
ting used to them than any
thing else.
Tough-skinned people may
get along without them, but
those whose work Is mostly
indoors. especially with pa
per, ought to use gloves for
outside work.
There are on the market
now very cheap gloves of very
thin plastic. which may be
worn directly over the hands,
with another glove of cot
ton over this.
Two gloves are no hotter
than one, and give added
protection. The combination
suggested prevents both liq-
uids and solids from getting
next to the skin.
Our skin is not Just a COW
ering, but a living. breathing
organ that needs all the pro-
lection we can give it.
One becomes so accus-
toned to ones skin that or
dinarily it is quite forgotten
unless hurt in some way.
Here prevention is, in
deed. worth a pound of cure,
and sometimes more. But
even the best gloves will not
keep one from being bitten
on the knuckles by a mos
quito. These hardy insects
seem to love to bite through
cloth. Probably gives them a
better hold, or something.

AChonce to Talk

The suggestion which has come from
Communist China's Premier Chou En- -lai
for talks at the arnbassadorial level to
maintain peace in the Far East, and our
own favorable response to that suggeS-
ton, encourage hope that the Formosa
issue may yet be settled without resort
to serious shooting war.
This may be an empty hope. Every
thing depends upon the real intentions
of the Peiping Communists. If they
really propose to "liberate" Formosa by
armed assault, as they have proclaimed
again and again, there Is no reason to
believe that diplomatic discussions will
prevent an eventual war. We are COM
mitted by treaty to assist the Nationalist
Chinese in the defense of FormoSa and
the PeScadores Islands Nothing in the
foreSeeable future encourages a belief
that we can or should abandon this COM
mitment. If the Communists really in
tend to attempt to take FormoSa and the
Pescadores by force we suppose that a
war between the United States and
China, presumably with Russian support
for China, is inevitable.
This may not be true, however, of
the coastal islands notably Quemoy and
the Matsu group. These coastal islands,
as distinguished from Formosa, have al
ways been considered Chinese territory.
1t is doubtful that their possession by
the Nationalist Chinese is essential to
the defense of FormoSa. And it is even
more doubtful, as former Secretary of
State Dean Acheson has suggested, that
American armed forces should be thrown
into fight between the Nationalist and
Communist Chinese factions for these
relatively unimportant islands.
1t is in this area, presumably, that
the opportunity for diplomatic negotia-
ton may be found. If the question of
who holds the coastal islands is not
worth war. and we doubt very much
that it is, settlement, even at the am
bassadorial level, may be possible. There
will be no real or lasting settlement,
however, If the Communists expect to
use ambasSadorial negotiations as
stepping stone toward the conquest of
Formosa.

Justice Douglas Visits Devil Cult
BY THOMAS R. HENRI

Worshippers Of Satan are
standing firm.
They remain devoted TO
their ancient faith despite
some recent reverses, 1t was
the impression Of Supreme
Court Justice william o.
Douglas, who recently spent
an entire day with Prince
Yosofi, their present leader.
In their curious city Of
Baashika. headquarters Of
the cult. near Mosul in Iraq.
The Devil Worshippers
now number about $4,000.
Prince Yosoff told Justice
Douglas. but they have sever
al thousand fellow sectarians
across the Russian border
with whom they have been
unable to keep in touch for
forty years. There also are
considerable numbers in
Turkey.
Justice Douglas is one Of
the few Westerners who has
been able recently to pene-
trate the land Of the Devil
Worshippers. he told the
Washington Group Of the
Explorers Club Of New York
the other night. He was well
coined by the prince.
Adore Fallen Angel
The Yazidis, as they call
themselves, are essentially a
Moslem sect with some curl
Gus variations, chief of which
is their alteration of Shat
tan, the fallen angel of the
Old Testament. The Lord
and the other angels they
hold are good and benevo-
lent. They have no evil in
tentions towards men. Hence
there Is no good reason to
curry favor with them. But
Shaitan supposedly is malev-
client. 1t is well to stand in
with him to ward on the evil
he might visit upon them.
The Bible of the Devil
Worshippers is the Moslem
Koran, but from it every
reference to Shaitan has
been stamped out. For the
most part, as in the Hebrew
Scriptures, these references
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-08

are quite uncomplimentary
to the Father OF Evil and
calculated TO annoy him.
The Yazidis, Justice DOUG
las said, obviously are people
Of the Semitic race, differing
very little except in customs
from their Arab neighbors.
They have a system OF
polygamy. especially for the
priests who wear flowing
white robes and Arab head
dresses. There is also a class
OF nuns who are vowed to
lifelong celibacy.
According TO the Devil
Worshipper creed. as 1t was
described to Justice Douglas,
Shaitan will remain in power
and able to do them mischief
at his will for 1000 years.
At the end Of this period he
will be overthrown and there
will be no further need to
kow-tow to him.
They are. the justice found.
extremely Secretive. not be-
cause there is any very great
mystery about their cult
practices but because in the
past they have been cruelty
prosecuted by Moslem rulers
and they hardly can believe
that those days are over.
Their language is an Arabic
dialect. They seem to be quite
closely inbred and almost
everybody is a first cousin.
probably as a result of oblig-
atory marrying within the
cult.
Sacrifice White Bull
Their services are very
similar to those of orthodox
Moslems. except for one spe-
cial festival which is devoted
to sacrificing a white bull.
Their characteristic houses,
Justice Douglas said, have
the appearance of inverted
ice cream cones.
Once admitted among
them, Justice Douglas found
they are a very friendly.
cooperative people, but II
they do not know an intruder
their natural instinct. from
generations Of persecution, is
to hide.

Program for Action

While disavowing at one point that
he was outlining administration pol
ICY" Vice President Nixon nevertheless
set forth in his Boston speech last Sat
urday significantly broad program for
both Government and non-G Govern
ment action in the field Of domestic
affairs. 1t was, in sense, State of the
Union message that Mr.. Nixon delivered
to the Harvard Business School AsSocia-
tion-emphasizihg the strength of the
Nation, defining its responsibilities in
the world today and recommending
unequtvocally some next steps to be
taken. If not a political platform as
such, 1t could serve as one in the COM
ing congressional campaign and, in any
case, makes completely clear where Mr..
Nixon and probably many of his party
associates stand on some major contro-
versial questions. Indeed, so explicit was
the Vice President on most points that
1t may reasonably be assumed he was
speaking for more than himself alone on
what should be done before and after
Congress returns
If there was keynote in the Nixon
speech, it was that I'VE must not allow
the fear Of temporary budget deficit
to. 3. keep us from doing what we ought
to do" In his opinion, what ought to be
done by Government-requiring execu-
tive and legislative collaboration-iS to
extend, and make permanent, liberaliza-
ton of the unemployment compensation
system, and to overhaul the entire Fed
eral tax structure in way to offer
greater incentives to business and to
individuals, particularly those in the
higher brackets where almost confisca-
tory" rates have stif1ed risk-taking and
encouraged tax avoidance devices.
Specifically, on taxes, Mr.. Nixon recon-
mended more liberal treatment of
depreciation allowances, reduction of
the present So per cent levy on corpora
ton income, downward revision OF the
present "hodgepodge" of excise taxes
and some reduction" in the high
bracket individual income tax rates.
Greater revenue, rather than less, would
flow eventually II not at once from any
or all Of these changes, he~predicted.
Turning to the continuing menace
of imitation, the Vice President empha-
sized that Federal economy and none
tary policies alone are not the full
answer Business and organized labor
have their share Of responsibility. The
former must price for volume sales
with low unit profits" both must exer-
else "self-discipline at the bargaining
table" And unless union leaders recog-
nize the harm in wage increases which
force price increases, he warned that
there will be strong demands to control
by law those union activities that are
monopolistic in character"
Mr.. Nixon acknowledged that some
of his proposals, particularly on tax
relief to business, may seem politically
foolhardy. There is little doubt that they
will be debated Sharply-and probably
more on political grounds than on
economic ones. The fact remains, how
ever, that they reflect not only political
courage but considerable amount of
economic good sense. It is good thing
to have them on the record.

Many home gardeners to-

Small Splinters and thorns
have a way of getting stuck
in such skin, and often can
not be easily removed.
The work Is such that one
hates to quit for the sanitary

for.
This always increases the
danger.
Gloves help to keep ones

weighed the merits of the Su-

writ, moves on :" And this

happens to be the United

Sympathy for the South

actually; but encouraging re-
