Heaven Help U.s.

Disappointed" writes to
The Star to deplore the "un-
diplomatic or nonSensical be-
havior" of Vice President
Nixon. Heaven help u.s." he
says.
And he's right! Heaven
help us if we do not appre-
ciate Nixon's courage to
stand firm in the face of
Communist clustering and
heckling. Heaven help us if
we criticize Nixon's ability to
walk the narrow line of dig
nifty without submitting to
unreasonable rage or humil-
iating acquiescence. Heaven
help us if we don't realize
that the whole world now
knows that old Khrusch met
his superior in Dick Nixon.
Heaven help us indeed.

It was with a great be-
wilderment that I read Fred
Theroux' article, 'FThat Cap
tive Nations Week Has Many
Diplomats Puzzled" in The
Sunday Star.
Are we to understand that
our diplomats have hit the
hardest blow in the cold war
and they didn't even know
what they were doing until
Mr.. Khrushchev started to
wall? Didn't our diplomats
know that the USSR is not
a monolithic Russia" but a
multinational empire? Didn't
they know that every ma
tionality in this so-called
Union" strives to be inde-
pendent and free from Rus
sian domination and that
these very national aspira-
tons of different parts of
USSR is the solar plexus of
the whole Soviet system?
Didn't our diplomats realize
that the SovietS, for instance,
would be afraid to let go
Ukraine, which is as big as
France and Italy together and
twice as rich?
If they are really so
ignorant about the situation
inside the USSR, then there's
no wonder that we are losing
in the cold war.

Downfall in KeroIo

The Communists have had 1t in
Kerala. Two years ago, pretty much to
their own surprise, they won IS per cent
of the states sharply divided popular
vote-enough to give them governing
control as the first Red regime ever
chosen to run major political Subdivi-
sion of India. But now they have been
tumbled from the seats of the mighty,
and the reasons for their downfall are
not hard to find.
For Kerala, despite it's economic diff
ficultieS, is not place Intellectually or
spiritually receptive to the kind of
totalitarianism that the Communists
have sought to impose upon it. Located
on the southwest coast of India, it has
a mixed population of 8.3 million Hin
duS, million Christians and % million
Moslems BY and large, despite the vote
of two years ago, these people-the
overwhelming majority of them, in fact
are politically and religiouSly opposed
to atheiStic MarXiSm. So it is not sur
prising that they have resisted the Red
regimes efforts to do such things as the
following: (1) BrainwaSh them with
Soviet propaganda, (2) resort to threats
and terroriStic measures to make them
docile, (3) gain control of their thou
sands of private schools, most of them
Roman Catholic, and az deprive them
of their constitutional rights and lib
critics.
Having overreached themselves in
these matters, having bitten off more
than they could chew, the Communists
of Kerala have been overthrown, in eff
feet, by popular campaign of both
passive and active resistance. Thus, for
the past two months, the states Hin
dus, Christians and Moslems have acted
as one in protesting against brazen
unconstitutional operations, including
mass arrests, murder in the streets, and
brutalized repression in general. AS a
result, Kerala'S Reds have been thor
oughly diScredited and reduced to kind
of paralysis. In turn, in keeping with
midas basic law, this has led Prime

Use of Reverend

I was amazed at Myrtle E.
Powell's letter taking William
Morris to task for stating
that the word reverend" is
an adjective and not a noun.
I would refer her to Web
ster's New Collegiate Diction-
airy which also states that the
word is an adjective and that
its use as a noun is a COLO
quialism. The book also states
that "colloquial" m e a n S
familiar" and I do not be-
lieve Miss Powell wants to
address the reverend clergy
in a familiar manner.
I would refer her also to
the oxford Dictionary of the
Christian Church which
limits the words use to ad-
dressing correspondence to
the clergy.
A check of any standard
book of etiquette or reference
book on correct usage will
bring out the fact that a
minister is spoken of as "the
Reverend Mister" and a priest
of the Roman or Orthodox
Communion as well as many
of the Anglican Communion
is spoken of as "the Reverend
Father" Hence, in speaking
to them they are either Mis-
ter" or Father"
Furthermore, I fail to see
the relationship which she
attempts to draw between a
college degree and the word
reverend" The only degree
that warrants use as a title
is the doctorate. I never
heard of a Bachelor of Sacred
Theology being called Bach

DEALING With Russia

Why do we continue to de-
Jude ourselves that we can
negotiate with the Commu-
nists? They have the most
deplorable record in all his
tory for violation of solemn
treaties. 1t is the policy of
Communists to promise any,
thing and to perform Moth
ing unless it serves their
immediate ends. Just as a
confirmed alcoholic is not
cured by being invited to
have one more drink, so a
confirmed treaty-breaker is
not cured by being invited to
sign a new treaty.
The President was right,
some months ago, in demand
ing that the Communists
first demonstrate their good
faith by complying with their
prior agreements. Without
such evidence of good faith
a conference becomes merely
a Communist vehicle for
propaganda purposes. Why
have our leaders not per-
sisted in that demand? Why
are they now comforting fur
Their responsibility on the
Communist leaders by hold
ing further conferences?
Let us sever diplomatic
relations and stop all trade
with Soviet Russia and her
satellites Immediately and
have no further dealings
until they fulfill previous
promises. If they retaliate by
closing the Berlin corridor,
the free world should do as
the Netherlands ambassador
suggested close the Baltic
and the Mediterranean to
Russia.
We can thus seize the
initiative in the cold war and
put the Communists on the
defensive, stripping them of
prestige before the world and
injecting courage into free
and ehslaved peoples alike to
resist these enemies of God
and freedom.

Displaced Persons

ing story on the Southwest

mentS, in The Star July rs,
was silent on a vital point.
What about the 10000 per-
sons displaced to make room
for the new housing?
It seems to me The Star
cannot afford to remain
silent on this matter, which
affects so many human be-
ingS who were uprooted
several years ago with at
least an implied promise that
housing would be made avail
able to them in the South
west at a later date. Now
we have grandiose plans for
high-rent apartments an d
houses in the area and hear
no more about returning the
uprooted to their former
lands.
This is but another mani
festation of the increasing
disregard we in America are
showing for human values.
Because these people are

NegroeS) they are assumed to
be Subhuman. We see this not
only in housing, but in the
vast clearing for new streets,
highways and airportS.
But, at least in Washing
ton. we seem to apply two
different standards. In areas
populated by more influential
people great care is shown to
take as little land as possible
and to avoid antagonizing
the residents when streets
are widened. Compare the
Military road Northwest
street-widening project with
the Rhode Island avenue
Northeast and Sherman ave-
nue. Northwest jobs. In the
two latter the street widenerS
(whose pace, incidentally, is
somewhat less than a Snail's)
have ruthleSsly cut into al
ready Scanty front yards until
the street is almost in living
rooms. In other areas citi-
zenS are able to muster
enough influence to prevent
this.

Inroods on Parks

/ note the filing OF a suit
which challenges the use of
Glover-Archbold Park as a
multi-lane freeway under
terms of the deed by which
the Government accepted this
property. Such a proposed
use of the area would, of
course, result in its total de-
struction and would be in
moral if not legal violation
Of the deed.
But beyond the technical
LOCALITIES, there is a point not
generally grasped. This is
the irreplaceability of park
land. Homes, apartments,
commercial enterprises - all
are replaceable. They may be
demolished in order to build
roadways for speeding auto
mobiles. 1t is done all the
time. But rarely. if ever,
is there demolition for a park.
Under our quaint moreS, the
speeding automobile takes
precedence over everything;
recreation and beauty are low
on the pole.
This means that once a
park has been obliterated,
that is the end of it. You
never get it back. This is the
real tragedy in the proposed
destruction Of Glover-Arch-
bold. Once this incompa-
rable area with its natural
beauty and prolific wild life
has been covered with black
top. the damage will never
be rectifled. The beauty is
lost forever, and forever is q
long time.
Surely Gen. yelling ana
our Maryland congressman
can be persuaded that the
District is not just a place
for people to race in and out
of. 1t is a place for people
to live. It is the pride and
joy of the Nation. 1t is not
too late. Let us not make
ourselves the object of head
pointing incredulity by gen.
erationS to come.

without even knowing it was
there, as probably was the
case with many others. To-
day it is a thing of beauty

uses it. Kensington parkway

Ill Ills recent ADDRESS 10 Cne Ma
tional Strategy Seminar for Reserve
Oh1cerS, Director Allen w. Dulles of the
Central Intelligence Agency had num-
Der of common-Sense things to say
about Soviet political, economic and mil
itary power. In effect, he placed the
threat in perspective, and he took
relatively optimistic view-though a
highly qualified one-of the free worlds
ability to cope with it in the years
ahead.
Thus, in Mr.. Dulles words, the West
is too often inclined to go to extremes in
analysing the danger. The prophets of
gloom" on the one hand, magnify 1t
beyond the bounds of reality. and the
Pollyannas, on the other, minimize it in
a way that amounts to the worst kind
of wishful thinking. Actually, according
to the CHA chief, both these assessments
miss the mark by wide margin. For
the Russians are not 10 feet tall, nor
are they midgets; they are just humans
like us, and their true strength must be
measured accordingly, on realistic
basis.
Mr.. Dulles, of course, has sources Of
information that are top-secret, and on
the basis of these, he has confidence in
the following judgments, among others:
~ The Kremlin does not deliberately
want to provoke an about nuclear war
(2) The Russian missile program is mot
immune to the many difficulties inher-
ent in developing new and untried hard
ware into a reliable weapons system"
(3) Although Premier Khrushchev has
belittled our manned bomberS as "mu-
scum pieces" the USSR's tremendous
current effort to build up defenses
against them would seem to belle" such
belittlement. And ~ there is an abun-
dance of good evidence on which to
reject" Moscow's noisy, propagandistic
contention that the Soviet Union "has
already achieved state of military par
ity, If not superiority" vis-a-vis the
United States.
These are some Of the reasons why
Mr.. Dulles believes that the Kremlin-
barring tragic observation-disclosures not
bent on resorting to armed force, but is
instead banking on attaining global
domination through "the slow attrition
of the power position of the free world
by a combination of political warfare,
and economic penetration and Subver-
Sion." Here again, however, the CHA d.
rector is relatively optimistic, though
still with large measure of qualif1ca-
ton. As he has put it, with a rather
cryptic reference to the need for silence
about certain programs, II can assure
you that we are better prepared and
better co-ordinated to deal with this
challenge, and are dealing with it more
effectively, than many of you realize"
Mr.. Dulles qualifying phrases, how
ever, ought not to be overlooked. En-
phaSizfng that "it is more dangerous to
underrate than to overrate" the Soviet
menace, he has made clear that his
rather reaSSuring views are based on the
assumption that the free world will re-
main firmly united and that the United
States and the West as whole will I'M
waveringly do what must be done-po-
litically, economically and militarily-to
hold the line against direct and indirect
aggression. Involving as it does many
big "ifS," this is something that allows
no room whatever for complacency.

to a lady, inviting her to
meet him at 3. o'clock at the

this note fell into the hands
of the husband, who, arming
himself with a stout pair of

the Patent Office. The
race that then and there
came off, up and down those
