When the Price Is Riqht

The Treasury Departments uphill
battle to manage the massive public
debt received modest announcement
last month. Holders of nearly half of
the $16 billion 2.5 per cent and G say
tngS bonds maturing in 1860 exchanged
them for ATS per cent notes due in 1864.
In addition, cash sales of small denom-
tnation E and H bonds, now drawing 3.75
per cent, topped the total for the CORES
ponding month in 1858, for the first time
this year.
Both cases reflect the SoundneSs of
the Treasury Department insiStence that
1t must be authorized to offer rates of
return that are competitive in todays
money market. On this basis, Govern
ment securities have an appeal. On less,
they are at disadvantage by COMPARE
son with other investment opportunities.
Congress should keep the November re-
turns in mind when it is called upon
again during the coming winter-as
already announced by administration
SpokeSmen-to remove the 40-year-old
4.25 per cent interest ceiling on long
term securities. Continued inaction will
surely force the Treasury into more and
more Short-term financing, where there
Is no ceiling, at substantially higher
rates.

Cheers in Madrid

President Eisenhower'S visit to Ma
drid, and the cheering throngS that
greeted him there, combine to teach
useful lesson on the general subject Of
today'S foes and tomorrow'S friends.
It might have seemed inconceivable
IA short years ago that an American
President, with Generalissimo Franco at
his side, would be telling Madrid audi
ence: Il say to Spain and to the Spanish
people that we are working together for
a world free of war and hunger and for
peace, liberty and justice"
It might have seemed inconceivable
because in 1945, 1916 and 1947 we were
otherwise engaged. We were too busy
joining with the Russians and the
British to bar Spain from the United
Nations, too active in uniting with the
French and British in an appeal to the
Spanish people to get rid Of Franco, too
busy urging U.N. members to recall
their ambassadors from Madrid in the
misguided hope that this would bring
Franco down.
1t is easy, of course, to say that
this is the wisdom of hindsight, and in
a;SenSe it is. If we will not learn from
experience, however, we will learn moth
ing. And the principal thing we should
learn from the Eisenhower mission to
Madrid, against the background of what
preceded it, is that we should be ex-
tremely wary of hasty judgments of men
and nations. If we think today of
frances Spain as a good friend and
trusted ally, we should be slow tomorrow
to believe, or to let ourselves be per-
Suaded, that any man or any nation is
forever beyond the pale.

He Gets No Gravy

The recent and unfinished
congressional investigation
into the unreasonably high
prices of miracle drugs
should cause the public to
revise its belief or suspicion
that the corner drugstore
owner is the Tiffany" of his
community.
The public ought to draw
the honest conclusion that
the drugstore owner and his
associate pharmacist, VIII o
work all hours to serve the
public, are not the recipients
of the fat gravy.
These learned men must
work hard and long in order
to make both ends meet and
often fail to do so.
Let all those who have felt
that the pharmacist peels
the skin of their backs every
time they bring a little paper
illegibly scribbled on by a
doctor, know now that the
fat gravy is not for the re-
tail pharmacists dunking.

Plug for Sponsor

I was much impressed by
Irving Lowens' fine piece in
The Star of De C e m ber 13,
entitled Cultural Center's
Role as Angel of the Arts"
AS a flrst-rate music critic,
he does not confine himself
to his own particular cultural
speciality. rather he tskes on
the broader problems Of max
ing the proposed National
Cultural Center a useful furc-
ton Of the entire community.
Mr.. Lowens suggests that
a fine library be established
at the National Cultural Gen.
ter. In order to prevent the
center from developing into
a giant mausoleum," he
recommends that the D. C.
Public Library music and
art sections be incorporated
into its function. BY way of
example he points out that
the music library of
the New York Public Lii
brary is to be a part of the
new Lincoln Center of Per-
forming Arts.
The Star critic goes on,
so long as we are going 10
have a National Cultural Gen.
ter, why should we not do
the job properly and have
something all Americans can
take pride in, something
which will be a cultural bea-
con for the free world?" He
adds, THE time to think and
dream is now, before things
get past the drawing board
stage. When the buildings
start up, it will be too late. "
How true.
Finally. your music critic
asks, why not a proper IL
brary-museum worthy OF a
National Cultural Center?"
True again!
For the information of Mr..
Lowens, and The Star, bill
proposing a Library of the
Performing Arts was in
troduced earlier this year by
Representative John r. Foley
Democrat of Maryland) and
his colleagues, Representa-
tive Don Irwin Democrat of

sentative Gerald T. Flynn

The Last Veteran

Americas Civil War was fresh in
eVeryoneS mind when a Northerner,
francis Miles Finch, was moved to
poetry by reading in 1857 that some
women in Columbus, Mississippi, had
decorated with flowers the graves of both
Union and Confederate dead From his
poem, THE Blue and The Gray" these
lines are best remembered:
These in the robings of qlorv,
Those In the gloom of defeat;
All Uith the battle blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Dau:
Under the laurel the Blue,
Under the 1uillo1U, the Gruu
This may seem excessively Senti-
mentalized in our day, when time and
popular romanticism have obscured
the agonieS of the terrible conflict which
began almost century ago. Most of
us have forgotten that the Civil War
engaged some four million men and
claimed the lives of 493,313 of them
an appalling price for a young Nation
W pay Ao1 It's 1Olly. In 1857, however,
the bitter memories were very much
alive, and both FinchS lines and the
occasion which inspired them were
remarkable.
Now, SO years and eight months
after Fort Sumter, the sole surviving
veteran of the Civil War has passed on.
II there are those who dispute Walter
Williams claim, it really doesn't matter.
For the fact is that of the four million
Americans who fought each other with
such ferocity, not one is left alive. All
are awaiting the Judgment Day.
Is there any meaning in this for
our generation? The President has taken
the occasion to say that the wounds
of the Civil War have long since healed,
and that "a united America in a divided
world now holds up on larger canvas
the cherished traditions of liberty and
justice for all" A noble sentiment
but do all of us really subscribe to the
traditions of liberty and justice for all?
We will have to answer on our own
Judgment Day.

Sewer Problems

II is time to call for a halt
to the mixing of the D. c.
and Virginia sewer problems.
Fairfax County mas unreal
istically used the Dulles Air
port sewer situation as the
answer to sewer problems Of
the Northern Virginia area
and consequently hit an OBJ
stacle so that no one can
think nationally about the
whole complicated mess.
The interim" proposal is
a gimmick adopted by Fair
fax County to find an excuse
for the poor operation of
Fairfax existing sewer facili-
ties. Your editorial of Novem-
ber q. Unacceptable Plan"
completely ignores the fact
that a Joint Federal-State
plan is expensive-that the
Dulles Airport plant can
not ever operate efficiently
that the county should i'm
prove operations. Federal aid
for cleanup would be less
expensive and the money
would cure the offending con-
dition. A joint system with
the airport as the focal point
would leave the offending
county problems unsolved.
Ironically. if the airport
builds only a sewage disposal
plant, efficiently operated or
not. the county would lay the
blame for all their other ills
on the Federal Government.
Either way the county comes
out clean. 1t is not beyond
speculation that Fairfax
County officials are delighted
to be included in the Potomac
pollution fray because it
serves some few in the race
toward State and Federal
political rewards. If they use
this deplorable condition in
the Fairfax and Washington,
D c., areas as a stepping
stone. it is a perpetrated hoax
on the public. If they are
not qualified to solve prob
lens in the county seat, they
surely are not qualified to
solve State and Federal prob
lens in the Nations Capital.

Templeton Jones recently
purchased three ball pens,
red, green and blue. only to
find the next day that he
might have bought all three
in one pen.
So the world progresses.
We asked Jones what he
was going to do with his three
separate pens, red, blue and
green, now.
Use them!" he grinned.
This master of the practical
never lets modern inventive
genius get him down.
He was one of the first to
try the ball points when they,
or rather it. came out during
the last war.
1T didn't write well, and !
said So" he recalls.
Nov the world agrees with
me. and the manufacturers of
these pens have improved
them right along"
So -
Jones said he did not yet
regard them as good as the
old-fashioned fountain pen
you almost had to stand on
your head to fill.
It was the nib, he affirmed.
The pen points, of pliable
gold, had a way Of giving to
ones signature.
In this way, ones hand
writing really amounted to
something.
Whereas, Jones AYERS, the
ballpoint, even the best Of
them, is too stiff to do q good
job of signature writing.
Handwriting has taken a
beating in this our modern
age.
At one time it was a sub
ject taught with pride in all
the schools.
If one wrote a novel, it was
really a manuscript, or hand
writing.
Then came the day Of the
typewriter and the debating
machine, but always at the
last the thing is written out,
in some form.
Seldom, however, by hand
or, pen.
One wonders at the stag
gering labors of the older
novelists, especially of Eng
land, France and Russia.
Their books were as long
as many of the gigantic
stories of today, and every
last word and comma was
put down by the author hold

up, and wrists and fingers got
stiff, but the work came
through.
Typewriter manuscripts
and they are still handwrit-
ten-manage to get the full
flavor of the writer's heart
and mind.
That is why there is no
particular difference between
the best of the stories Of to-
day and the best Of the older
works.
A tie has been established
in both instances.
A book or writing of any
kind is done by the hand
somehow putting down the
symbols of heart and mind.
Thinking, it is called. 1t is
just q little more than that.
It is the heart and mind sud-
denly standing up on little
stalks. for all to see, just as
the eyes of the fiddler crabs
are mounted on little pro-
jections.
This barring of the soul is
what makes q great novel
great.
1t is not just the love
scenes; these grow a trif1e
tiresome. 1t is not just the
excitement; a movie can do
as well.
No other art form, how
ever, not even a great SYM
phony. can put the very man
or woman into the heart and
mind of another, the reader.

The writing pen can do all
this, so it must be regarded
with a mixture Of awe and
veneration.
The ball point has its
points. but they are still too
inf1exible to allow the full
character Of the writer to
come through the tip.
Maybe before another year
has gone by, there will be
new and better pens on the
market. to give the user q
chance to display his charac-
ter, if any.
This is a curious thing, how
the inner man can be put into
curves and curlecues, but it
is so, and always has been
so, that is why the pen
makers are shortchanging
the American people in this
regard.

Several families IN the
metropolitan w a hington
area will have a happy New
Year, instead of a tragic one,
because the following people
will think and react normally.
Somewhere in the National
Capital area, between now
and the end of 1860, these
things will happen:
A driver will glance at his
speedometer. realize that he
is driving too fast for condi-
tions. ease his foot of the
accelerator and be able
to stop in time to avoid a
child or elderly pedestrian.
A youngSter will dart out
from a driveway or from be-
hind a parked car. An ap-
preaching driver will stop in
time to avoid hitting him,
because he remembered his
own boyhood and had trained
himself to expect the un-
expected.
A driver will encounter snow
and ice conditions. How
ever, he will be able to get
through safely and on time
because he was prepared with
a set of tire chains in the
trunk. and took 10 minutes
to put them on. He saved q
life-hiS own.
A pedestrian will start to
cross against the light .
remember and wait.
A man will drink a final
highball, realize his condi-
ton, and hand the car keys
to his wife. .... ...
A walker, about to walk
on a suburban road, will re-
turn to the house to get a
flashlight.
A driver will ask his gas
station attendant to check
his windshield wiper arms for
adequate pressure, so as to
keep rain and snow of and
let him see. He will see-in
time-his child running to
greet him.
Yes, several lives will be
spared. Several people will be
with us next year who would
not have been here-had
these people failed to think
and react senSibly.
No. these things will never
make the headlines. In fact,
there will be fewer. head
lines, fewer "crash" stories to
write, and fewer statistics to
add to the grim total OF
WaShington'S deaths and
injuries.
Thinking can save lives
