Our Brand of Smoq

Americans travelling in
tropical countries are on oc-
casion shocked to encounter,
in small country towns, open
bitches in the streets used
as sewers. Some Of us are
inclined to feel very superior
on such occasions, and to
thank God that we live in a
civilized country.
While standing on a Wash
ington street corner waiting
for a D. C. Transit bus to
pass. I was nauseated by
fumes from the bus fully as
badly as I ever was by the
stencil from a Latin Amer
lean open sewer. I began to
wonder if we really have any
reason at all to feel superior.
In all probability this foul
mixture of carbon monoxide
and partially burned hydro
carbons is fully as bad a
threat to health as is the
open sewer. And we have
much less excuse for this sort
of thing if we are as enlight-
ened and civilized as we
claim.
Recently there was a no.
tice in the papers that the
California legislature had
passed a bill to require smog-
removers on all cars sold in
the State. I don't suppose
that we could be expected to
be that enlightened here un-
til people begin to die in the
streets from smog poisoning.
However, I should think that
the D. c. Public Utilities
Commission, that so readily
grants fare raises to the bus
lines, might serve the public
interest, for a change, by re-
quiring smog-removers on all
buses and trucks that are
permitted to operate in
Washington. I am sure that
the results would be as no.
ticeable and as appreciated
as those of the efforts to i'm
prove Washington by slum
clearance. And the benefits
would accrue to every human
being, resident or visitor, who
walks or rides in the streets
of Washington.

Under Public Law 85-157,
policemen and firemen who
retired after October l, 1856
receive up to 20qo more an
nuity than those who retired
prior to that date. There are
many cases now existing
where a retired private with
less time in service receives
a much larger annuity than
a retired lieutenant with
many more years of service.
We just wonder.

Dear Sir:
Spring days take us all
into the gardens. and we
hear the birds, but they are
not all.
There are a hundred diff
ferent noises that come to
ears that really listen. 1t has
always seemed to me that so
many people miss so much
by not really listening.
'"I have found a good way
to hear everything is to take
a seat in the yard, preferably
in the mid-afternoon, and
then to truly listen. I do not
mean Just with the ears, but
with the mind, too, and this
is the most important.
Most people have good
enough hearing. but too Oft
en- they fail to coordinate
this sense with the mind.
Here, as elsewhere, one
hears what one listens for,
perhaps: the mind attuned to
many interests will hear
more.
Il listened for half an hour,
recently, in this way, and
heard at least 33 different
sounds, or kinds of sounds.
"At first, the listener will
hear only three or four
noises, the kinds most ia
miliar to him. Soon, smaller
and more distant sounds will
become familiar. He will
recognize, almost with Joy,
the far cry of a dog at
distance, whereas all he had
heard before was the bark Of
a noisy dog in the next yard.
Close sounds tend to blot
out, for a time, distant
sounds. but only for a time;
after a while, the keen edge
of close listening is dulled.
and the distant listening, if
so it may be called, is stepped
up, or whetted.
- -
In this way, a variety of
noises are heard, really ap-
pretended, in some such
fashion as a conductor of a
symphony orchestra hears
the smallest instrument in
his group.
so you see. this sort of
lolling in a chair is more
than just plain lolling. 1t is
finding something precious
on the air. So much rot is on
the air, these days, it is pleas
ant to find the natural

sounds that have come down
to us from beyond the flood.
Better than somebody's
idea of Jazz is the classic
simplicity of the blue Jaws
call, and I am sure that the
concert put on by our mock
lngbird any afternoon is far
better listening than most OF
the stuff we pay to hear.
Even in the whirr or chirr
OF an old fashioned lawn
mower is a happy sound.
much better than the awful
roar of a modern monster
that fails above all to do even
a fair job in cutting the grass.
My neighbor has one, and It
leaves ridges. 1t also stinks.
= II
"The listener will always
come back to the birds and
their joyous singing.
Il have listened to many
human choral groups. and il
there is one thing about their
work that distresses me it is
their evident distress in the
singing. They are not happy
doing it. it seems to be work,
and hard work. not the happy
expression of JOY that sing
ing should be.
1T seems to me that the
ancient prophets had the
right idea in music, as they
had in so many other things,
that music should be an ex-
preston Of happy worship.
Sing unto the Lord a
happy song, they advised. and
this is just what the birds
are doing all the time.
so do not permit them,
please, to be just something
in the background of your
lives, but go out into the
yard and listen, and there
you will find peace and
happiness and relaxation all
mixed together in Gods own
inimitable manner.
Your truly. H. j. R."
This correspondent has we'll

1t must be afternoon.

cares, and evening dissolves
into night.
The best time, as Mr.. R.
says, is mid-afternoon.
Then, if ever, occur all the
sounds he enumerates, and
many more.

Nearly all the candidates
and potential candidates for
the presidency in this years
coming election - Protestant
and Catholic = have spoken
out on the so-called religious
issue. All of them have de-
plored the idea that a candi-
date should be opposed, or
supported. because of his re-
ligious faith, his membership
in any church. Vice President
Nixon has said that, so far as
he is concerned, the religious
issue would be important only
II a candidate was shown to
have no belief in God.
While the candidates in
this campaign have differ
ences on other issues" the
Vice President said to the
newspaper editors meeting
here last week, they are all
men who recognize and cher
ish, both in their personal
and public lives. the religious
and moral principles which
are the very foundation of
our American ideals"
But whether the religious
issue can be sidetracked and
avoided in this campaign will
depend, as Mr.. Nixon pointed
out, on the extent to which
this issue is pressed by the
candidates and their support
ers. He might have added, by
the rank-and-file voters.
Today the front-running
candidate for the presidential
nomination on the Demo-
cratic side is Senator John
F. Kennedy of Massachusetts,
a Catholic. The front-runner
on the Republican side is
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon of California, a Quaker.
Senator K mn e y has an
nounced he will support the
Constitution which provides
for separation of state and
church. Vice President Nixon
not only subscribeS to the
doctrine of state and church
separation. but he has given
proof he is not governed by
the pacific teachings of his
church in a manner which
would hamper in any way his
acting as Commander in
Chief of United States mill
tary forces. He served in the
Navy during World War II.
The main reason the re-
llgiouS issue has become a
political issue this year lies
in the fact that Senator Ken
nedy is a Catholic, and many
Protestant Americans are
worried. These worries arise
because of a latent fear that
the church may move in
some ways and to some degree
into control of the state.
Brings It Into Open
Senator Kennedy has cou-
rageously brought the whole
matter into the open. BY his
public statements and his
frank answers to all ques-
tions put to him he has con-
vinced many people he would
meet and deal with all prob
lens and issues that might
come to him as President en-
tirely in the interests of the
American people. He has said
he does not speak for the
church on governmental af-
fairs, nor does the church
speak for him. There can be
only praise for Senator Ken
nedy and the courage he has
shown. For this issue, call it
religious, political or both,
still runs deep in this country.
Equally, there must be praise
for all the Protestant candi-
dates for President who have

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN {
Separation of Church and State

declared that a mans faith
and church membership
should not be used against
him in a political campaign
and election.
Thirty-two years ago the
first Catholic ever nominated
for President by one of the
major political parties, Gov.
Alfred E. Smith. a great
Democratic Governor of New
York, was pitted against
Herbert Hoover, another
Quaker from California and
a Republican nominee for
President. At that time. Gov.
Smith forcibly declared his
belief in the separation of
church and state. The issue
of his church, however, was
vigorously pressed against
Smith, though for the most
part it was sub rosa. To one
who followed the campaign,
however, the vicious attacks
on the New York Governor
because of his church were
evident on all sides. Gov.
Smith probably would have
lost the election that year
had he been a Protestant.
For he was a foe of national
prohibition. he was known as
a Tammany man, and the
country was prosperous un-
der Republican rule. But the
extent of the Smith defeat
particularly in the South
was due in part to the reli-
giouS issue.
Less Feeling Claimed
1t is argued now that feel
ing in this country regarding
a Catholic candidate for
President has changed; that
there is less "bigotry." This
can be proved only at the
polls on election day. 1t is a
fact, however, that Senator
Kennedy was able to win a
majority of the votes in the
Wisconsin presidential pri-
mary against his Protestant
rival, Senator Humphrey of
Minnesota, by a large pop
ular vote. 1t has been argued
that many Catholics rallied to
his support, Republican and
Democratic alike, and that
other Republicans crossed
over to vote for him, feeling
he would be an easier candi-
date to defeat in the general
election next November. Next
month Senators Kennedy
and Humphrey will get a
decision in the West Vir-
ginia presidential primary-a
State where the Protestant
population far outnumbers
the Catholic. This may be a
severe test. The religious
issue has been raised there in
a big way.
1t is high time that
Americans should give this
issue their real attention.
whether it can be settled in
this campaign or not. Reli-
gious freedom in this coun-
try is a fundamental right.
as well as the doctrine of
separation of church and
state. No mans religion
should be a liability to him
in running for public office,
even the presidency, unless
it can be shown that he and
his church do not subscribe
to the doctrine of separation
of church and state. Senator
Kennedy already has spoken
out on that point, as did
Governor Smith and many
other leading Catholics. In
deed, the Catholic Church in
this country has gone along
generally with this doctrine
OF separation.
