The race for the 1860
Democratic presidential nom
ination is fast shaping into
the field against Senator
Kennedy. And, indeed, the
popular young lawmaker from
Massachusetts, appears fully
cognizant of the situation
and is willing to take on all
corners. This means a will
ingness to enter important
presidential preference pri-
maries. For that matter, he
has expected to follow such
a course for some time.
He has seen his chances
threatened by plans in a
number of the primary States
to put forward favorite-son
candidates to hold the line
against him; for example, in
Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio and
Maryland. Also, should It be-
come necessary in the opinion
of Kennedy opponents, such
a course might be followed
in Pennsylvania, although at
present Democratic leaders
there are planning to take an
uninstructed delegation to
the national convention in
Los Angeles next July.
Senator Morse of Oregon,
however, has declined to run
as a favorite son in the Ore
gon primary, and in WiScon-
sin it now looks as though
the primary will be left open
to any and all Corners.
There still remain, of
course, favorite-son candi-
dates in such important pri-
mary States as California
and New Jersey, where Gov.
Pat Brown and Gov. Robert
Meyner appear unchallenged.
Senator Kennedy is not ex-
pected to enter primary con-
tests in these States. But he
will challenge Gov. Tawes in
Maryland and Gov. Mike Di
Sale in Ohio, it is said, if
these Governors persist in
plans to be favorite sons.
Formidable Field
The field against Senator
Kennedy generally is consid-
cred to include three of his
colleagues in the Senate
johnson of Texas, Symington
of Missouri and Humphrey of
Minnesota. In addition, there
are three Governors-Brown
of California, Meyner of New
Jersey and Williams of Mich
igan. and a former Governor
of Illinois, Adlai Stevenson.
This is a formidable array.
While no one of them singly
might prevail against the
Massachusetts, Senator, col
lectively they pose a real
threat.
Senator Kennedy's best
chance-and perhaps his
only chance-lies in his abil-
ity to demonstrate he is a
good vote getter in the COM
ing presidential primaries
and to prove to the party
leaders he should be the
choice. In the public opinion
polls the Senator already has
demonstrated strength, and
only Adlai Stevenson has run

I want to congratulate The
Star on the excellent editorial
entitled Still Controversial, !"
and to commend you on your
Endorsement of the proposed
legislation to extend Airing
ton National Cemetery. There
could be no more proper use
for this land that is located
next to the cemetery.
There are millions of acres
of land owned by the Govern
ment, all over the United
States, which could be used
for the Freedom Wall loca-
ton. But, there is only a very
limited amount Of land that
can be added to Arlington
Cemetery and which borders
the cemetery here.
Why on earth must the
Freedom Wall people insist
on taking this land away from
the cemetery? Do they have
no feeling at all for the time
honored tradition in this
country Of affording recogni-
ton to our war heroes for the
many sacrifices they have
made to preserve our free
doms and our pursuit Of hap
piness under our system of
government?

I have noticed in your
newspaper the controversy
between the Fine Arts Com
mission and the Department
Of Interior over whether or
not the commission will be
permitted or required to ap-
prove the plans for the
Freedom Wall" monument,
which is again being pushed
by the Interior Department
and the architect of the pri-
vate Freedom Shrine Foun-
dalton, Mr.. Gugler.
1t is most surprising to
learn that the plans for the
Freedom Wall were never &C
tually approved by the Fine
Arts Commission heretofore,
and that this controversy
over this matter has hap
pened so recently.
In a departmental report to
Congress on this monument
legislation in 1857 the De-
partment of Interior advised
the Congress that plans for
the monument had been ap-
proved by the Fine Arts Com
mission and others as re-
quired by the act of August

to be secured for such a mon

gress told such a thing when
it is now obvious that no
such plans could possibly
have been approved?

I am astonished to learn
from your paper that the
Freedom Wall" is still alive
and being forced on Con-
gress again. After its de-
feat last year, and after all
the mess that came out about
it. anyone would think that
the people behind the wall
would have left our Capital
City for good.
I just read in your paper
about two months ago that
Representative Gary of Vir-
GINA had proposed that the
taxpayers land sought by
the Freedom Wall group
should be added to Arling-
ton Cemetery, since the GEM
etery is one of the most
worthwhile monuments to
America and to Americans
in the whole Washington
area. What has ever hap
pened to Mr.. Gary's pro-
posal? Surely, Congress will
give attention to this very
sound recommendation, and
not take seriously the second
effort of some persons to
grab the land for the du-
bious Freedom Wall.

I see from your paper that
the Freedom WALL" pro-
posed and defeated in Con-
gress before, is being pushed
again.
Since this project of very
doubtful value would be
built next to Arlington Gene
terry, as. a veteran of World
War II, I wish to vigorously
protest its being approved.
The land which would be
given for this monument was
bought for a Veterans Hos
pital. This hospital was
later blocked, and these
monument people have tried
to get the land ever since.
The veterans have asked that
the land be used to extend
Arlington Cemetery-as the
cemetery is running out Of
burial space, and must be
closed in a few years.

Dear Sir:
my child loves peas. and
wants them for every meal.
even breakfast.
Il have not given in to his
whim completely, but only
let him have the peas two
times a day, for lunch and
supper.
Il know your interest in
diet, and would like to hear
your opinion of this idiosyn-
Grassy.
Il try to interest him in
other protein foods, such as
meat and cottage cheese, but
no, he wants peas.
Are the canned sort as
good as the fresh? Much to
my amazement, he prefers
the canned.
Yours truly, ]. r."
Peas have been favorites of
mankind, and womankind,
too. for thousands of years.
These legumes, really round
edible seeds. are rich in pro-
TEN, and that is the reason
Mrs. RS son likes them.
1t is the basic fact, next to
taste, why we all like them.
The edible pea is a rich
mine of food value.
Its only fault is that it
may be a bit too concentrated
for some digestive tracts to
handle easily.
On recovery from various
illnesses. the average con-
valescent needs plenty of
good protein.
Often the taste runs to
peas, in any form.

We recall once when a
young man had the flu, pneu-
monia and pleurisy all at
once.
This was during the cpl
demic of Spanish influenza,
so called.
Upon convalescence, he de-
manded peas, nothing but
peas.
Since this was in winter, in
those days there were no
fresh peas to be had, so he
had to be content with the
canned sort.
He preferred the small
ones, and we have always
thought he had very good
taste in this.
1t may be that one does
not have to be i'll to get a
craving for peas, since they
are such an essentially rich
food, laden down with the
good protein that is the basis
of life.
We are not quite sure
whether this protein is what
is called complete. No doubt
a experimentation with meat,
milk and cottage cheese
would afford a better basic
fare.
Peas eaten three times a
day probably would be fat

So the older person, espe-
cially one on a diet, might
do we'll to think of this as

NAACP Tells The Record
I'VE of the NAACP do not
presume to tell people for whom
they should vote. We endorse no
candidate. We tell the record and
let the voter be the judge. The
solution of many of our problems
and the destiny of our citizens may
well rest in the judgement of the
individual voter in the polling
booth"
The NAACP leader recalled the
origin and early history of the
Association, appraised the pro-
gress made and expressed confid-
ence in the future.
Affirming the determination of
Negroes to secure their full rights,
he condemned the propaganda
that Negro citizens must earn
their rights through good behavior.
Good behavior - responsible, ad-
ult, law-abiding behavior wins
the respect of our fellow citizens,
which we value and seek, but no
American is required to earn his
rights as a citizen. His human
rights came from God and his
citizenship rights came from the
Constitution"
