THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The old coffee flavor was
wearing of. He no longer got
a kick out of being at a table
with his friends.
What had happened to
him?
Probably 1t wasn't any
thing more than what is
happening to everybody
everywhere.
The years go by, made UP
of minutes. hours and days.
1t is called time.
1t is time that does some
thing to you, and nobody Is
quite sure what.
In the old days, people had
the comfortable assurance
that the table they drank
coffee from was solid wood,
but nowadays they are told 1t
is merely a whirling aggrega-
ton of atoms. neutrons and
other queerly named things.
Today's understanding Of
an atom is much different
than it used to be.
When d e m oeritus and
Epictetus and LucretiuS wrote
of the atom, they had the
simple idea that it was Just
a very tiny sort Of thing. and
that was all.
Now we unfortunately
know this tiny sort Of thing
is made up Of positive and
negative charges of electricity
and heaven knows what else.
&&&
II Is pleasant to give up
atoms, Of which we know
nothing, and get back 70
coffee, Of which We all know
something.
Men, particularly, like to
sit around a table with mug
in hand. and talk about
things. personal or imper-
sonal.
The coffee break. what
ever 1t means, is the modern
substitute for the old-time
saloon. with its big brass rail,
its DRINKS and its free lunch.
Coffee time gets Just as
much talking done. and
leaves the whole man ele-
waited a bit. through the be-
nign influence of caffeine.
one Of the elder drugs. the
other two being theien. in
tea. and theobromine. in
cocoa.
They are all essentially the
same, with caffeine much
used in medicine. too. Every
modern cold capsule has
caffeine in it. to counteract
the depression Of the malady.
A cup OF coffee has q great
deal more caffeine in Il. and
will elevate the mood.
whether one is conscious Of
1t or not.
Too much caffeine. on the
other hand. will cause the
filters. as some call II, and
leave the stomach a wreck.
More terrible drugs are
particularly bad when one
tries TO stop using them.
Withdrawal symphonic they
call thal.

River GombIinq

Delegate John T. Parran
from Charles County has an
nounced his support of a bill
to outlaw gambling establish
ments on the Potomac River
licensed by Charles and St.
Marys Counties. This was an
act of great moral courage on
Mr.. Parran's part as 1t will
incur the organized and we'll
financed opposition of slot
machine and tavern inter-
estS in this area. 1t is to be
hoped. of course, that those
who recognize the blighting
effect upon the social and
moral health of a community
that commercialized gam
bling has when permitted to
establish itself at every four
corners and when it sets the
tone of the area, will give
their support to young Mr..
Parran'S fortnight stand.
l do not maintain that
gambling is morally wrong
per Sc. ! do maintain that
wherever a community has
legalized slot machines and
has licensed them on a liberal
scale, crime and corruption
have increased dangerously.
And it is most unhealthy for
a society to rest its economic
foundations upon such a
base. More than that. in this
particular case, the arrogant
locating of gambling floats
on the Virginia shore under
the nose Of the Virginia au-
thorities is an irresponsible
and miSchievous act.

Exchange With Soviet

Some of us are prone to q
mistaken and unwarranted
sense of achievement as we
regard agreements for eco
nomic and scientific or cul-
tural exchanges with the
Soviet Union. We know that
the Communists stress ma
terialiSm to the exclusion
and. denial Of spiritual values.
Yet, in entering into agree
ments with them, we make
no reservation of principle to
indicate that our own think
ing and values are different
from theirs.
Thus we have received
from and sent to Russia GER
tain industrial. scientific,
and artistic (there may be
disagreement on thiS) per-
sonnet. To the extent that
the exchanges have been
confined to these fields we
have adopted the Com
munists' position that the
spiritual is to be ignored!
For example of the vari-
Gus freedoms, is there free
dom of movement? Will the
Communists permit private
citizens to visit US, and our
own to travel in the USSR
without the restrictions now
imposed? Let us begin with
a few professionals: We will
welcome their newsmen, let
them receive ours to travel
throughout the country,
seeking, gathering, and
transmitting facts.
We should at least make it
clearly known and continue
to advertise to all the world
that we recognize spiritual
values and that we regret
the Communists refusal to
enter into exchanges which
reflect such values.

Rescue Mission

My sorrow at the recent
tragic death of Robert l..
Grimsley in the mountains
along the Virginia West Vir-
ginia border is tempered by
my gratitude to the good men
of Shenandoah County, Va,
and vicinity, the men,
bers of the Washington Ski
Club, the group from the
Washington Missionary COL
lege, and Bob's fellow mem
bers of Potomac Appalachian
Trail Club, who so generous
ly gave their time and en-
ergy in searching for him
under hazardous conditions
in sub-zero weather. The
unselfish generosity and the
true Christian spirit Of those
good people cannot be praised
too highly.

University Site

! was surprised at your edi-
torial Of February 10, in eff
feet indorsing selection Of
the Bowman site for the
Northern Virginia branch of
the University of Virginia.
I have consistently APP
plauded your campaign to
clean up the Potomac River.
Now you indorse a proposal
which could do great damage
to the Metropolitan Area
water supply and which has
little or no possibility of being
corrected by extension Of
county sewer lines because
of the excessive cost.
If the 100000 sewage dis
posal plant for the college
goes on either Sugarland
Run or Difficult Run, the
pollution problem will be just
beginning for Fairfax County
and the Metropolitan Area.
The plant will be overloaded
before 1t is completed. A
plant of that size will hardly
take care of the initial stages
Of a college, much less the
city of 10000" planned by
the Bowmans.
II the coming and sewage
treatment restrictions in this
area break down, the entire
Metropolitan Area will suf-
fer. since there is little posi-
bility Of Fairfax County being
able to sewer the area to a
point below the water intake
any time in the foreseeable
future.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Wide Unity on Mutual Aid Louded
By GOULD LINCOLN

The country's leaders in
government Democratic and
Republican,, in religion
Catholic, Jew and Profess
tant), in business and in
dustry and in other i'm
portant fields gave q ire
m endous demonstration
Tuesday of bipartisanShip
and unity in support of
mutual aid" military and
economic, designed to ad-
vance the peace of the world
and Of the United States.
More than a thousand "dele-
gates" from every part Of the
country attending the Con
ference on Foreign Aspects of
United States National Sc
curity" will not soon forget
the urgent pleas Of President
Else hover and former
President Truman, Of Secre-
tary Of State Dulles and
former Secretary of State
Acheson, of Bishop Fulton j.
Sheen. Rabbi Theodore L.
Adams and Rev. Edwin r.

that the mutual aid appro-
priations asked by the adj
ministration be not cut by
Congress.
Nor does it seem likely that
the impact of this conference
on the general public and on
members of the Senate and
House will be lost. The con-
ference, indeed, was unique,
as President Eisenhower him.
self declared, and its en-
thusiasm genuine.
The Congress last year
Slashed the mutual aid ap-
preparations. despite the ear
nest requests of the Presi-
dent. But it also Slashed the
Presidents requests for mis-
sile and earth satellite de-
velopment-some Of it's mem
bers spoke gloatingly Of that
performance. The Russian
SputnikS have shown how
dull they were. Also the
spread of Russia's economic
assistance to India, Egypt.
Syria and other nations-in
addition to military aid to
some of them-has indicated
anew that the Soviets are
pressing more and more
strongly their drive to DOM
mate and communize the
world.
In Lap Of Congress
The issue of mutual aid
rests today in the lap Of Con-
gress, where in the last ses-
sion both Republicans and
Democrats - in too large
numbers-turned a deaf ear.
Neither President Eisenhower
nor former President Truman
minced words in discussing
this issue. The President
pointed out that the confer
ence was considering a pro-
gram of aid to our friends
abroad and to underdevel-
oped regions Of the world
which had been proving its
worth during the last ten
years. He said it's opponents
attacked the program. not on
it's merits and not on its
record, but on the basis of
such slogans as "giveaway."
on the basis of prejudice and
of penny-wise economy.
OStrich-like. he said, the

Trade and Aid

Now that he has just turned 10.
the indefatigable Secretary Dulles can
be sure of at least one thing: He con-
tinues to display vigor and lucidity of
sort worthy of the admiration and envy
of Americans much younger than he.
A good example of this can be found in
the appeal he made the other day to
the House Ways and Means Committee
for f1ve-year extension of our recipro-
cal trade program-without Gripping
amendments.
Faced with opposition from high
tariff protectionists, including more
than few influential Republican mem
bers of Congress, the program is
threatened with restrictive revisions
that could hardly fail to have a major
adverse effect on our export-import
trade. This is so because the revisions
would raise barriers, both actual and
potential, making it more difficult than
ever for friendly nations abroad to sell
to us in order to earn enough dollars to
buy from us.
In support of their position, the
protectioniStS argue that such barriers
are necessary to safeguard our own in
duStrieS from foreign competition. Yet,
although the current recession has been
helpful to that argument, and although
imports from overseas can cut into
certain types of domestic business, the
fact remains that the reciprocal trade
program is vital to the overall we'll
being of our economy. Indeed, as Com
merce Secretary Weeks has warned,
Congress can fail to extend the pro-
gram, or can cripple it by amendment,
only at the risk of jeopardizing the
jobs of more than As million Americans
now working in many key enterprises
dependent on healthy flow of world
commerce.
AS for his own testimony on the
subject, Mr.. Dulles has eloquently en-
phasized to the Ways and Means Com
mittee that the program, wholly apart
from its immense dollars nd-centS
value to us, is indispensable to our Sc
curity. For if we fail to continue it,
or if Congress amends it in a way that
would sharply reduce it's effectiveness,
the international result would be
totally disastrous" It would be that
because it would UNNECESSARILY" help
the Communists to carry out their
trade-and-aid warfare aimed at alien
ating other lands from us and bringing
about the economic enlightenment and
ultimate strangulation of the United
States"
These are strong words, but Mr..
Dulles has made them sound thoroughly
onvincing-convincing enough, GER
tainly, to leave little room for doubt
that Congress will be taking a decidedly
risky gamble if it turns a deaf ear to his
counsel. And the same holds true, of
course, for our foreign economic and
military aid. AS UNDERSIGNED at Tues
days bipartisan conference here-not
only by Mr.. Dulles, but by President
Eisenhower, former President Truman
and other leaders-thiS aid, like recip-
rocal trade, is of prime Importance to
our safety. The two programs, the aid
and the trade, are Complementary in
that sense; to scuttle either would be to
hit hard at the security of the Nation.

1912 million. for technical CO.

Coffee talk Is part Of the

it "the longest 10 minutes In

Gossip is a part Of talk.
Some people deprecate
gossip, as If it weren't the

Your gossip Is all wrong"
they seem to say. mine is
all right"
The truth is that gossip Is
just what happens. or what
one thinks Is happening.
The true gossip, in the
ancient sense, keeps life on
an even keel by maintaining
the balance between right
and wrong.
When people talk about
other people, 1t is necessarily
behind their backs. and 20
one sees always that such
talk is not bad unless 1t is
malicious.

In other words. gossip Is
good. when 1t is honest: bad
only when 1t Is dishonest.
The honest gossip. there

local schools. Since 1886 he
has been with the local
teachers college where he is
now professor of chemistry
and assistant to the preSi-
dent. In his association with
this institution he has had, of
course, a wide contact with
local schools and individual
teachers.
Too many educators lack
contact with the world out
side the schools. This is not
the case with DR.. Haworth.
He has earned credits at the
National Bureau of Standards
in administration for Scien-
fists and is active in the
District of Columbia League
for Nursing.
Having two children in the
public schools, he has been
active in PTAs, often repre-
Senting them at congressional
hearings. He has likewise
represented his neighborhood
citizens association and the
Northwest Council of Citizens
Associates at hearings on
school matters and the D C.
budget, and has served as
president of both.
His additional civic activi-
ties include membership on
the Lay Advisory Committee
to the District of Columbia
Juvenile Court (1936-50 and
membership on the Educa-
tional Planning Committee Of
the National Conference Of
Christians and Jews, 1948 to
date. He is also president of
the D. c. Teachers Federal
Credit Union.
His other activities in ma
tional scientific and educa-
tional organizations are far
too many to enumerate here,
as are the courses which he
has taught ana the other
responsibilities which he has
discharged within the school
system.
Certainly his record makes
him a candidate worthy OF
serious consideration.
