Good Sense Spares a Tree

The mail mustJgo through at any
and all costs, of course, but not at the
cost of destruction of the fine old Japa-
neSe cherry tree at the Bethesda post
office, we are glad to note.
The spreading cherry tree, spring
time attraction for many years at the
intersection of Wisconsin avenue and
Montgomery lane, had been marked for
early removal in order to provide more
parking space for the Bethesda fleet of
postal motor scooterS We are in favor
of the motor scooters and all the other
gadgetS which Postmaster General Sum-
merfield and his staff have installed to
speed delivery of the mail through snow,
rain, heat and the gloom of night
But it was silly for anyone to think
that the magnificent cherry tree that
glorifieS the Bethesda postal parking lot
was impeding Mr.. Summerfleld's cour-
iers in their appointed rounds. The
order Sparing the tree makes sense
which is more than the cut-it-down
order did.

Political Frutricide'
1t Seemingly has fallen

It seemingly has fallen to Senator
Morse of oregon, an articulate imam in
motion" in politics, to reveal publicly
what is probably the real motivation for
the Democratic ''revolt" against the
party's leadership in Congress- The Sen
ator-once a Republican, later "unat-
tached" and currently Democrat by
party Labelled more than join the dis
sidentS in an outspoken attack few
nights ago upon Democratic leaders on
Capitol Hill. He spelled out explicitly
the objective of driving Southern re-
dictionaries -. political soft pedalers
and pussyfooters" out of positions of
influence in writing the Democratic
platform and picking the party's presi-
Dental ticket in 1860.
Speaking in Wisconsin, Mr.. Morse
launched his attack by applauding that
States Senator Proxmire for his criti-
cism of Majority Leader Johnson's .'un-
democratic rule" of the Senate. The
Oregon Senator, however, released a
much broader and heavier fire on the
party's legislative record and its leader
ship in both Senate and House than has
Mr.. Proxmire or another Democratic
critic, Senator Mcnamara of Michigan.
On civil rights and natural resources
legislation, for example, Mr.. Morse made
it clear that his charges of "unconscion-
able compromise" and 'iunholy political
alliance" applied as much to Speaker
Rayburn as to Senator Johnson. On
revenue legislation, he scored the chair
men of the Senate and House tax COM
mittees-Democrats Senator Byrd of
Virginia and Representative Mills of Ar
kansas-as being no different "from
their Republican counterpartS
1t is fair question, Of course, to ask
what influence Mr.. Morse represents in
the Democratic Party. And the answer
is, not much-by comparison with that
possessed by the targets of his attack.
Even so, it is obvious that the maneu-
vering for the Democratic presidential
nomination-or for king-making role
in the party's 1860 convention-alread
is in high gear and that main line of
division is between liberal" and "con-
sentative" factions.
Mr.. Morse, even if self appointed, is
a spokesman of the liberal camp. Sig
nificantly, perhaps, in his Wisconsin
speech, he referred to the party's nomi-
nee in 1852 and 1856 (the still available
Adlai StevenSon) as "a man who exem-
plified great political truth, namely,
that in the White House there can be no
substitute for brains"

Stote Of the Economy

ais The most persistent and disturbing
aftermath of the 1957-58 recession
steepest and deepest since World War
n-finally has shown signs of solid i'm
proyement with the announcement that
unemployment dropped by $4,000 be-
tween mid February and mid-March.

under "A million, is the sharpest for

fna simultaneously with release of the
encouraging statistics by the Labor
Department, there were other forecasts
and indicators based upon first-quarter
evidence that 1859 may yet be record
breaking year of prosperity. On un-
employment, for example, Secretary of
Labor Mitchell predicted improvement
to a point where the jobless total by

Secretary of Commerce Strauss, calling

there were indications the pace would
be much higher by the end of the year.

kinds, the harmful and the
Indifferent.
The harmful include dogs,
cats and people.
The Indifferent smells are
those of birds and gasoline
and the hundred and one
other odors of life and nom
living things that play no
part in the rabbit economy.
Life, in its hazy but still
sharp enough way, gives the
rabbit this merciful division
of smells. so that it will not
have to think about them, be-
cause it cannot think about
them. This is mercy in ma
ture.
One snowy winter many
years ago, a new resident of
Chevy Chase, Md, saw a
big rangy wild rabbit
crouched down by his garage.
These beasties seek such
places to get out of the wind,
also to protect them from
being seen by dogs.
Dogs running loose are the
greatest menace to rabbits,
still to be found in numbers
in all suburban areas. The
dogs gang Up on them, run
ming in packs, and sometimes
bring them down.
The rabbit by the garage
struck a chord in The heart of
the owner, and he went to a
pet supply house and pur-
chased a big bag Of alfalfa
nuggets.
He pictured to himself the
delight Of the animal in find
ing such nice food, and
watched eagerly for its return.
Sure enough. just at dusk
the creature came hopping
over the snow.
The watcher got out his
binoculars, to watch the feast.
He saw the big white fellow
sniff at the food
Then turn away, as II
something were after him.
The human smell had done
it.
Wild rabbits are afraid of
us. Most things IN the world
are afraid of us. What have
people done. that the wild
creatures are still afraid Of
them, after all the centuries
Of talking about love?

Dr.. Adenouer at Sunset

Although he Is SO years old, age has
not withered Konrad Adenauer, nor has
it stalled his far-seeing craftsmanship.
SO he has taken the world by surprise,
almost to a shocking degree, in deciding
to retire. effective next September
from the towering role he has played
in West Germany ever since 1945.
What the decision means, in effect,
is that this great Christian Democrat
has made up his mind to get out Of
active politics and let somebody else,
some younger man, become West
Germany's top leader. Accordingly, in
stead of seeking fourth term as Cham
cellor, he will campaign only to succeed
Theodor Heuss as President of the coun-
try. In short, he has chosen to ex-
change post of overshadowing power
for one that is largely ceremonial
office which up to now has had little or
no significance in terms of shaping the
domestic and foreign policies of the
Bonn government.
g. Together with Communists else
where, the puppet East German regime
has been quick to interpret this devel-
opment as an admission by DR.. Ade-
nauer that his international policies
have failed in a way that has forced
him to bow out of the picture in order
to let new Chancellor try something
different. Indeed, even on the free side
of the Iron Curtain, more than few
startled observers have read into his de-
cision disquieting evidence suggesting
that he sharply disagrees with other
Western leaders regarding negotiations
with the Kremlin and that he therefore
wishes to strike an aloof attitude toward
next months foreign ministers meeting
and the summit conference that is ex-
pected to follow.
There are certain facts, however,
that make all such interpretations seem
extravagant. To begin with, DR.. Ade-
nauer's successor as Chancellor (Eco-
Monies Minister Ludwig Erhard is a
leading prospect) will almost certainly
adhere to the essentials of Bonn's pres
ent policies. More important still, DR..
!, Adenauer himself will be on the job as
West Germany's chief decision maker
until September long enough to keep
him in the saddle at least through the
foreign ministers meeting, and perhaps
even through summit conference if
one is held. Further than that, assum-
ing he becomes President, he will have
a constitutional right to attend cabinet
meetings and thus exert measure of
continuing governmental influence.
Everything considered, therefore,
there is little reason to regard DR.. Ade-
Ilauer's prospective retirement as sign
that what he has stood for is now about
to be discarded or greatly modified. He
has been rocklike, inspiring and gen.
timely great leader. and free Germany
is not likely to ignore, his counsel or
abandon the course he has set merely
because he. has decided to live more
quietly in his sunset years.

Parties in Off-Yeors

does it not seem too little
rather than too much when
we learn that the total spent

the national Offices Of our

fective. Many would agree

being well done, that Is no
reason to stop trying. Some

not have the situation where
a national magazine spends

it does rather lamely making
excuses for that same party's
failures.
We need a President and q

when our Nation operates at
half steam with a divided
Government. The kind OF
Government we have now
isn't cheaper, we just get a
shorter ride for the price. II
hard work by our national

quency in the ground-up
bodies Of jungle mosquitoes

The Darien reservoir un-
questionably exists, DR.. CAL
indo says, and it probably ex-
tends into the nearby dense
jungles of northern Colom-
bia. There is q high probable
ity that this Is the "home"
Of the disease to which it is
ordinarily confined by natu-
raj conditions but from which
1t may escape at any time.
Search for Carriers
The persistence of such a
disease, DR.. Galindo points
out, requires a mammal or
bird "vector" through which
the inflnitesimally minute
virus particle is transferred
from mosquito to mosquito.
The sudden disappearance in
the United States almost un-
questionably was due to the
exhaustion or scarcity of ami
mails capable of carrying the
virus in their blood streams.
One species of bat definitely
was implicated.
But thus far search for
such a vector here has been
futile. None of the mammals
examined have the virus, or
signs Of having suffered with
a similar disease. Probably
the carrier is itself immune
and humans the only vic
tins.
DR.. Galindo and his asso-
ciates have made blood tests

gigantic accomplishment in
this sparsely inhabited and
entirely communicationless
country. If the malady ex-
lists among jungle Indians,
he believes. it probably is
relatively mild and news of
an outbreak would not be
likely to spread.
Many other viEuses have
been discovered in the
Darien mosquitoes but no
known disease has been
traced to them. Some, how
ever. are quite similar to the
st. Louis virus. They prob
ably would produce some de-
gree of immunity. Perhaps a
victim hardly would realize
he was sick, and these par
ticular Indians are a tough
lot, not given to hypochon-
