The action Of Supreme
Court Justice Whitaker In
upholding q Federal Courts
decision in the Starkweather
case is fantasticl
How any man, with good
moral principles and q judi
cial background, can ration
alize an appeal In Stark
weather's defense Is incom-
prehensible.
Under American trial-by-
jury procedure, a person must
be proved guilty beyond all
reasonable doubt before q
guilty" verdict can be rem
dered. In the Starkweather
case the jury found the de-
PENDANT guilty as charged"
because of the defendants
own admission and the testi-
mony of witnesses for the
prosecution. What else does
Justice Whitaker need to es-
:ablish the unquestioned guilt
Of a self : admitted. cold =
blooded killer?
Eleven persons were MUIR
dered without cause. without
provocation and without q
chance to defend themselves.
Can the families Of these
murdered people now appeal
their deaths on the basis Of
technicalities? Can these
families stay the untimely de-
mise of their loved ones be-
cause Technically" they we're
at the wrong place at the
wrong time when Stark
weather gunned them down?
Can the children Of the par
ents murdered by Stark.
weather appeal to Justice
Whitaker to reverse Gods
decision that these parents
die as they did2 In the name
Of all that's logical, moral
and sane-how far can APP
peals 80 on the basis Of tech
nical error (s)?
What must the families
and friends Of Starkweather's
victims think Of q Federal
Judge and q member Of the
Supreme Court who weighs
the scales Of justice with
meaningless and ridiculous
technicalities to the extent
that they slip from the full
crum?

Fair News coveroge

This Is TO express my
thanks to your fine news
paper and writer's for the
coverage given the campaign
and election Of Lee Rhoads,
Charles Hedetniemi and my
self TO the Falls Church City
Council. The news stories
and editorial comment have
been fair and, ! believe. very
helpful not only to the Sue
cessful candidates but to the
voters who turned out in un-
precedented number to ex-
press their Judgment. I be-
lieve that everyone agrees
that the people Of Falls
Church were better informed
this year than ever before.
and this was due in part to
the newspapers.

Hartman Taken In

A naive capitalist speaking
positively OF communism
outweighs any number Of the
Reds own propagandists. No
wonder. then. that the Soviet
bosses so eagerly give inter-
views to bourgeois journalists
and dignitaries. show them
the places which the Soviets
wish to be seen. and lavish
on their guests the most
luxurious hospitality. This
shrewd policy pays the ex-
pected dividends. The visi-
tors. generally, report OBJ
jectively" to their home
countries what they we're
told and what they saw with
their own eyes. Thus, not the
truthful image Of the sad
Soviet realities is being con-
veyed by travellers TO their
compatriots at home but
that of the Soviet con-
structed facades.
1t is regrettable that a
former American Ambassa-
dor to the USSR. an ex-
governor. q presidential can
didate and a millionaire was
taken In by the Soviets. In
his first two articles on his
tour In the Soviet Union,
Averill Hartman presents
pacif1srn as the Soviet ma
tional preoccupation and,
further. declares that from
all available evidence" the
Soviet slave-labor camps are
"a thing of the past"

lasting peace can and will be

Backs Summit Stand

The President has declared,
again and again, that he viii
not journey to the summit
unless three preliminary con-
ditions have been fulfilled:
"a Some progress toward
negotiated agreements made
at meetings Of foreign minis
tiers or other preliminary con-
ferences. (2) Formal recogni-
ton by the Soviet Union that
the United States. Great Brit
ain and France are Of right
In West Berlin, with free ac-
cess thereto. 90 Absence Of
any threat.
The President recently de-
clared in the press that he
didn't see how the head of
any self-respecting govern
ment could go to an interna-
tional conference In response
to any kind Of thing that
could be interpreted as q
threat. On this ! think he is
absolutely right.

ditions has been met, or dis

has happened at Geneva.
With his 1860 ultimatum a
few days ago, Khrushchev
climaxed the insolence of his
ascending series Of threats.
I feel sure that Mr.. Eisen-
hover meant what he said.
and means 1t. But I am
equally sure that even in the
face Of Geneva. pressure will
be piled on the President TO
get him TO change his mind:
Pressure not only from neu-
tralists, Britain and some
groups in France and West
Germany but from our own
liberal appeasers, as Senators
Fulbright and Humphrey
have already made plain.

The rejection by the SEN
ate Of the nomination Of Ad-
miral Lewis l.. Strauss TO be
Secretary Of Commerce leaves
q bad taste In the mouths Of
millions of Americans. There
are q number Of reasons. In q
measure. the action Of the
Senate against President Ell
senhower's choice for an inn
portant cabinet post Is a blow
TO the prestige Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States
when this country is engaged
In vital negotiations with for
eign powers. But mostly.
many Americans will view the
action Of the Senate In reject
ing Mr.. Strauss as an injus-
tice to q man who has faith
fully served his country In
important ofiices. They will
view the action Of the Senate
as a rejection on fiimsy and
unsubstantiated charges-
charges brought because Of
personal animosity, because
Of Admiral Strauss position
against the plans of those
who want the Federal Gov
eminent 10 90 farther and
farther into the development
Of public power, and because
Of partisan politics.
There was no charge Of
venality against Mr.. Strauss.
Not even his enemies said he
was corrupt or fatty dishon-
est. 1t is noticeable that Is
Democratic Senator'S voted
for his confirmation. Some Of
them praised him highly. It is
noticeable. too, that all four
Of the Democratic Senator'S
who are considered potential,
II not actual. candidates for
a presidential nomination
next year voted against Mr..
Strauss - Senators Lyndon
johnson Of Texas, John F.
Kennedy Of Massachusetts,,
Stuart Symington Of Missouri
and Senator Hubert Hum
phrey Of Minnesota.
Johnson Vote Il Key
Senator johnson is the
majority leader Of the SEN
ate. Had he voted for Mr.,
Strauss, 1t is widely believed,
the admiral would have been
confirmed. AS 1t was. the
change Of only two votes on
the roll call would have
brought victory to Mr..
Strauss and President Eisen-
hover In this contest.
Whether the votes against
Mr.. Strauss will aid any Of
the potential candidates for
the Democratic presidential
northumberland If one Is
nominated, will aid him in
the general election next
year-remains to be seen.
Not all the blame for the
defeat attaches TO the Demo-
Gratis. Two Republicans, Sem
ators LANCER Of North Dakota
and Margaret Chase Smith
Of Maine, voted NO" Had
they voted for Mr., Strauss,

New Lighthouse

In view Of the fact that a
great many people in the
Metropolitan Was hington
Area are interested in and
generously support the Co
lumbia Lighthouse for the
Blind. we feel that an ex-
PLANTATION in regard to the
delay in moving the Light
house to its new quarters Is
essential at this time.
An excellent building at
202l Fourteenth street NV.
was contracted for in Octo-
Der. 1858. and plans were
Immediately gotten under
way to modify the building
for Lighthouse operations. At
that time we were confident
that we would be able to
achieve the move not later
than May / Of this year.
Based on that time sched-
ule, the printed material used
In connection with our public
education and our appeal for
funds was designed SO that
the material we began using
May ! contained pictures of
the new building, and our
letter accompanying the fold
er states definitely that we
are in the new building.
The Lighthouse is still op-
Grating at its old quarters at
Ninth and e streets S.W. and
to date the remodeling Of
the new building at 202l
Fourteenth street NV. has
not been started because the
estimated cost Of remodeling
Tar exceeded what the Light
house had available.
A revision of plans has
brought the estimated cost
down to a level which the
Lighthouse Board Of Trustees
feels is reasonable and we
confidently expect starting
the remodeling in July and
hope TO be occupying the new
building before October 1.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

Persons recently moved
from the city to the suburbs
find that the noise" as they
call 1t, keeps them awake.
Ali Of these hearty habits
of q hearty bird are seen at
last in their proper perspec-
tive.
It is then that even these
persons begin to realize that
this is one Of the best Of birds.
The remainder, certainly
the great majority, knew it
all the time.
The mockingbird's many
endearing qualities come to
q climax in its habit Of look
ing in the window for food.
This food is seedless rail-
sins, obtainable the year
around, equally good for
mockinHbirds in winter as
well as in summer.
Only at q few times will
the Knockers absent them,
selves. Then their friends
may know that they are
eating cherries. or mulber- !
ries.
The flashing white Of the
wings Is missed for q time.
One wonders where they are.
Then there they are againl
They have either eaten all
the cherries, or are tired Of
them, and have come back
for their steady diet Of raj
sins.
Unlike the starting, which
greedily and rapidly eats all
the raisins In sight, the mock.
ingbird seldom eats more
than three, taking one away
to feed TO mate or young.
We are fortunate in hav-
ing this bird the year around.

in meeting at Norfolk on
June 10. for the spirit OF
Christian concern shown in
their actions of that date
requesting Gov. Almonds
continued efforts on behalf
OF Virginia's public schools.
1t is heartening for those
Of US who believe so fervently
In interracial and inter-

on all levels, to have another
Of our cooperating denomi-

rageous action which will
eventually and surely lead
our people away from hatred,
suspicion and fear.

Birds are getting chased
all over America by chang
ing food patterns.
Our local evidence Of this
IL the presence of evening
erosbeaks every spring.
Mrs. H. C. r. Of Salem.
Greg, writes:
Yesterday I heard the UNI
mistakable song Of q mock
ingbird here in South Salem
where we now live.
IT thought I must be
dreaming"
She inelosed q short item
from the Oregon Statesman,
which said in part:
They are warm-climate
birds, usually found only in
Eastern and Southern States.
The birds are gray, slightly
larger than robins.
"A distinguishing feature
are large white spots on
flight feathers that flash
when they fly. The outer tail
feathers are also white"
y
When we think Of our
mocker as q common bird
here in summer. we realize
how fortunate we are to have
him and her.
What others find q novelty,
we know as plain and every
day as the common sparrow
or blue jay or cardinal.
Washington's roster Of bird
life is a good one.
Basic, we feel. are the
pigeons. sparrows and star
lings.
Despite the hue and cry
against these species, they
play a very good part in help
ing to clean up foodstuffs
scattered all over the place
by careless people.
Pigeons, in particular, often
risk their lives to gather up
food which somehow has
found its way into the middle
Of the street.
r 4 4 y
Our mockingbird Is cor
rectly q favorite everywhere,
but sometimes people have to
learn to like it.
This comes about through
several Of its ways.
This hearty bird often
tends to drive all other spe-
cies away from a feeding sta
ton, for instance. What 1t is
doing is trying to get in trim
for the nesting season, when
1t must defend its nest. or at
least thinks it must.
This dog-in-the -manger &C
ton often offends household
ers. who soon see that the
bird does not want the food
himself but will not permit
any other bird to have it.
Another habit Of the mock
er brings ire on It's head.
This is the way 1t chases
and positively persecutes cats
and even people at nesting
time.
It is no unusual thing for
a belligerent mocker to drive
a cat to a place Of refuge,
even to attack 1t on a porch
and puncture its eyes.

Children's wear designers
have combed the world for
fashion inspiration of bygone
days.
Early American" defines
many Of the current styles
and the European look is
well represented. No matter
which side Of the Atlantic

waists. full skirts. and q
wider look through the
shoulder accomplished by
sleeve and collar emphasis.
Old Fashioned Charm
Sleeves play a dramatic
role in the old-faShioned
charm of new-fashioned
dresses. Sleeves are long, al
most without exception, but
treatment varies. Many are
pulled with unusual fullness
ending just below the elbow
in a furry of self-fabric ruff
f1es. Others are long and
narrow, set off with ruff1es
or tailored cuffs.
Necklines are modeStly
high. A Puritan look is
given to some styles by omis-
sion of neckline trimming.
More decorative necklines
are set off with face framing
rufhes of self-fabric or lace.
When collars are used they
are either large and cape
like or small Peter-Pan types
in white delicately trimmed
with lace.
Fabrics and trim help to
tell the story of the old
fashioned look and are au-
thentic in print and color.
