Discrimination


One Of the great fallacies
OF modern thought, common
to both so-called liberals and
radicals. is the belief that
integration and democracy 60
hand-in-hand. The refusal
Of a Maryland beach to admit
Orientals and Jews is equaled
by an exclusive upper New
York State club that refuses
membership to Negroes and
Jews. The same club owns
an admirable original por-
trait Of the great abolition
list. John Brown.
Not too many years ago, q
friend and myself entered q
not too exclusive eatery in
Washington and were
politely but firmly informed
that this eatery was only for
colored people and they
would appreciate it If whites
did their eating elsewhere.
We left.
AS q veteran Of World War
II, I agree that, aside from
the atomic bomb. the world
has become q small, uncom-
Portable place to live. Even as
q white Southerner, I do not
recall ever harboring in my
heart or brain q speck of
racial prejudice. I think all
public schools, colleges, uni
versities and eating places
should be open to all Amer
lean citizens, regardless of
their skin pigment. At the
same time. I recognize the
desire of certain races to
gather in groups of their own
choosing. I do not say this is
good. It is q peculiar trait of
homo sapiens.
It takes education to over
come this prejudice, but you
cannot educate prejudice
away when the educators
themselves are prejudiced.
We have Catholic, Jewish,
and Protestant war veterans
associations. We have secret
societies that admit only
specified citizens to member
ship. This is just as true of
the Negro as it is of the Jew

individuals who call them
selves beatniks, are being
harassed for pursuing o way
Of life that Is somewhat Diff

norm. I wish to take issue
with this trend in Washing
ton thought and to caution
the critics Of this adolescent-

at length with some sincere

generation and to read some
of their literature. Their

To be beat is to surrender
to the Universities that face
man in life. It is quitting in
the face Of reality; a reluct-
ance to take UP the challenge
that spices our existence be-
cause Of the fear Of being in
evitably overwhelmed by the
pressures Of an imperfect So
ciety. Unlike Britain's "An-
cry Young Men," who are
fighting mad and with whom
beatniks claim q kinship.
the American beatnik is just
plain tired Of fighting.
There were beatniks at the
time Of the first man, as
there are beatniks now, and
just as there will always be
beatniks. They are not a
product of our times but
rather q cynical pessimism
that has defiantly reared its

Downs the WoF

While the approval Of
plans for any monument
having an important bearing
on the planning for the
Washington area should take
into consideration the views
Of the Fine Arts Commission
as to its esthetic value from
the standpoint Of art. there
are far more important con-
siderations which should be
taken into account in regard
to the Freedom Wall than
purely artistic views.
The issue here is whether
or not the Freedom Wall as
proposed. and the methods
Of financing its construction
which have been proposed
and which would have the
blessing and Endorsement Of
Congress II adopted, should
be approved at all by the
Congress and particularly.
whether or not this monu-
ment should be permitted to
occupy the specific land that
is proposed for 1t.
This same Freedom Wall
proposal was rejected by
Congress last year after long
debate on the House floor as
to its merits and dement's.
The size and plans for the
wall were not the major con-
Germ Of the Congress when it
turned the proposal down.
The unsavory earlier history
Of this same project which
failed when 1t was promoted
in Georgia, combined with the
reluctance Of Congress to give
authorization to a campaign
Of fund raising from the
school children of the Nation,
involving collection commits
sions for the promoters Of
this monument, and the de-
sire Of many members Of
Congress to use the land in
'volved to extend Arlington
National Cemetery. were the
considerations which Con-
gresS weighed heaviest in
making its decision to reject
the Freedom Wall proposal.
These same considerations
and objections exist today,
just as they did last year.
While 1t is unseemly
and shocking that the au-
thors Of the Freedom Wall
bill Of this year attempted to
eliminate the hazard Of Fine
Arts approval, this Is Just
one more reason why the
Freedom Wall and its spon-
sors should be blocked again
this year.

In an intimate way, he would
lean over the cathedral pull

What O motto for lifel To
praise people and to help

What q pathetic figure IL

"Oh Mary. Mary, I loved you

What q boon 1t Is In this
world Of hopes deferred when
the flowers Of praise arrive
far ahead Of the undertaken
If parents would but watch
for chances to honestly praise
their children. instead Of by
constant criticism giving
them q complex Of failure,
such scoops Of praise would

adult yardsticks. When q boy
Of 10 conducted himself In
such q way at q dinner table
that his mother knew he had
remembered her training, I
heard her whisper a word Of
maternal satisfaction. His
look of pride that he had
measured up was her reward.
Wives who take their hus-
bands toll, and even their
success. for granted could
do wonders for their COM
panions by serving with the
meals they so faithfully pre-
pare an occasional scoop Of
praise. An English author
published a book with a
wistful, pointed dedication:
ITO my wife whose lack of
interest in this volume has
been my constant despair"
No amount Of complimentary
reviews Of his book could
atone for the scoop of wifely
praise he so sorely missed.
And how the wilted flowers
in many a woman's life would
revive, like a garden after q
refreshing summer shower,
If she could but have put in

Inc melon season prouglt,

Home Rule and Taxes


During the 80 years I lived
In Washington there was al
ways a clamor for home rule.
It was something I never took
seriously. The only reason I
moved to Maryland was be-
cause Of an undesirable ele-
ment filtering into my vicinity
when urban renewal opera
tons In the Southwest scat
tered them. They Immediately
began to make a new slum
area out Of my neighborhood.
So / moved.
Taxes on my D. c. home
cost only $144 a year, and the
house was large and roomy.
In Maryland taxes on my
five-room house have been
almost double that, at $275
q year, but this year the
spenders elected by the voters
have been thinking up new
and bigger ways to spend.
and now want to move the
taxes on the house up to
1910 on October /. They'll
win!
That is q sample Of home
rule.
Maybe the reason Mary
land taxes are so high Is be-
cause there is no lump sum
from the United States Gov
eminent. Or, If there is such
q lump sum. 1t Is too small
to help taxpayers. In WASH
ington the lump sum may
never be adequate, but 1t does
help.
Never would I move out
Of Washington just to get
the vote.
But If home rule comes to
the District and the elected
spenders take charge, there
is no telling how high they
could move taxes up.
