HIGH STORAGE PROFITS

A Senate investigating committees re-
port that commercial warehousemen have
been making high profits on storage of grain
for the federal government drew heated
criticism from Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son. Now, in statement released with the
Department of Agricultures own survey on
storage costs, Benson declares that the SEN
ate probe has made Notwithstanding
charges based on misinterpretation of par
tial information
There may have been some headline
hunting in the report issued by Senator
Stuart Symington's committee Yet it is
interesting to note that the Departments
figures largely bear out some of the COM
n1ittee allegations.
There are 9,610 warehouses which store
government grain. The Benson report is
based on study of costs in 432 of these, and
figures are then projected to apply to the
total number. 1t is shown that more than
half of the warehouses; which together have
almost so per cent of the total capacity a.
valuable, can store grain for 10 cents bu-
shell or less-and receive payments averag-
ing 16.5 cents a bushel

Dimes Opens First Birth Defects Center

A birth defects study
center, the first of its kind
designed to combine clini-
cal treatment with research
and teaching, has just been
officially opened at Colum-
bus, Ohio. It is supported
by funds from the New
March of Dimes, which is
now engaged in its January
campaign for contributions
to fight three major Grip
pling diseases including,
besides birth defects, ar
thrills and polio.
Medical experts say that
birth defects are the biggest
unmet childhood medical prob
lem in the United States today.
There are more than 500 differ
ent kinds of birth defects, or
"congenital malformations," as
they are called by doctors. They
range all the way from harelip
and clubfoot to mental retarda-
ton.
Some 250,000 American
babies are born each year with
one or more significant birth
defects; and about half of this
number are doomed to a life
time of serious illness or Grip
pling. About 81, 900 infants each
year are stillborn because of
these Affections, or die within
the first month of life. Medical
science as yet has few clues
to the causes of these disorders
that occur before birth; and
there are few known methods
of prevention.
Shrouded in Superstition
The study center in Colum-
bus famed Children's Hospital
thus represents the beginning
of the New March of Dimes
attempt to solve a medical
problem that has heretofore
been largely neglected by re-
search. It is a problem that has
for centuries been shrouded
in fear, superstition and shame.
BY tackling this issue with a
three-pronged program of re-
search, patient aid and training
of skilled medical professionals,
the March of Dimes organiza-
ton seeks to bring hope to the
hundreds of thousands of par
ents whose lives have been
blighted by bewildering grief
and heartbreak following the
birth of a malformed child.
This hope is bolstered by the
past record of the March of
Dimes organization in fighting
battling diseases. 1t was March

CAN DEMOCRACY COMPETE?

1 believe democracy is the ulti-
mate form of government. History
shows that no dictatorship has very
long existed. But I am far from
certain whether our. present form
of democracy car survive. There
will inevitably be more rapid basic
changes due to the constant level
ing down of those who have proper
ty and the building up of those who
have not The masses are on the
move and will continue to be. How
ever, the desires of our people
must change from glorification of
wealth and so-called success" to
love for unselfish and trained eff
iciency
Mr. KS apparent objective is to
eliminate private property, but he
is not alone. Six means to this end
are now being employed in six diff
ferent countries: ID BY confisca-
ton in Russia; (2) by nationaliza-
ton in England; (3) by taxation in
East Germany; (4) by public exc
cutions in China; 90 by unwarran-
ted price and wage legislation in
Cuba; and (6) by labor-union de-
mands and initiation as in the u. S.
Meanwhile, let us expend more
time and more money developing
our children's character, health, ed
ucation, and other fundamentals
which cannot be wiped out by an
other World War.

CIVIL WAR STAMPS

Is the Civil War still so sore point that
it cannot be- conlmemorated in postage
stamps? According to Karl S. Belts, execu-
tive director of the Civil War Centennial
Commission, Post Office Department stamp
advisory committee has objected that such
an issue would reopen old wounds. The Com
mission has appealed to Postmaster General
Arthur E. Summerfield.
The objection, if it has actually been
made, seems preposterous. The war was
honorably fought, honorably won and honor
ably lost. Southerners and NOrtherners made
common cause in the Spanish War, only
generation after Appomattox in both world
wars, and in the Korean War. Southerners
have served with distinction on the Supreme
Court, both houses of Congress, the cabinet
and the vice presidency.
The only reasons why there have been
no Southern presidents since the war is the
South's long, close adherence to the Demo-
cratic party Presidential candidates are
chosen from doubtful states, not from those
firmly held or hOpelessly lost. Now that the
Solid South has been repeatedly broken, the
time may not be far off when Southerner
will again occupy the White House.
"The Road to Reunion, Pulitzer Prize
book by Prof. Paul HI. Buck of Harvard,

ously think Civil War commemorative
stamps would reopen old wounds, perhaps
they had better examine the true situation
more closely.

STORY OF A LINE


The nations most famous internal bound
ary will be 200 years old in 1868. This is the
Mason-Dixon Line, which is generally sup
posed to divide North and South. Plans for
a celebration three years from now are al
ready under way.
This Mason-Dixon Line dates back to
colonial days. British charters often de-
scribed territory vaguely. Many boundary
disputes arose, notably between Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. Pennsylvania's claims
included Baltimore, while Maryland demand
ed possession of Philadelphia.
Finally the colonies invited two distin-
guished British mathematicians and astron-
omers, Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon,
to lay out the Pennsylvania-Marylan and
Maryland-Delaware boundaries. This task
took four years. Many of the stone markers
were found by 1850 survey to be still in
place. Some were damaged or lost. The
anniversary committee hopes to have all
restored and put in shape.
The idea that the Mason-Dixon Line sep
arated North from South is not strictly true.
Maryland and Delaware, as well as Pennsyl-
vania, stood with the North in the Civil War.
And the line does not go beyond West Vir-
ginia, not touching much of the South Also,
southern New Jersey lies below the Line. 1t
is not really demarcation of North and
South, but this does not detract from its
true historical significance.

SMOKING AND CANCER

The latest study to lend support to the
theory that cigarette smoking increases the
risk of lung cancer is one conducted by the
Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Re-
search.
The Institute made study of Seventh
Day Adventists, who do not smoke because
of religious convictions. The study was re-
vealng. 1t showed that men who are Seventh
Day Adventists are ninety times less likely
to get lung cancer than other men,
Not only did the study show that they
were ninety times less likely to get cancer,
but it showed that they had fewer heart at
tacks and a lower incidence of other cam
GERS, such as cancer of the mouth, larynx
and esophagus.
The real significance of the Sloan-Ketter-
ing study is that it refutes the theory of
those who are resisting the repeated con-
clusions which are obviously being drawn
from more and more research studies on
cigarette smoking. Many have said that
smoking might be, itself, symbol of GER
tain timer factor, or. a nervousness; or
something of the kind, and that smoking
might be a symptom of this timer factor"
rather than the actual cause of the cancer
which might be accreditable to the "inner
factor.
The study of Seventh Day Adventists
seems to refute this theory, because the
Seventh Day Adventists do not smoke re-
gardless of the so-called sinner factor, and
they do not seem to get the cancer because
of the timer factor"

PROPER PERSPECTIVE

A u. S. government group, which includ-
ed members of the Senate Interior and Pub
lie Works Committee, recently returned from
a trip to Russia during which it visited
Soviet power plants and dams. In its report,
it says that Russia "has undertaken literally
hundreds of new starts on hydroelectric de-
velopment within the past five years." and
that "unless we speed up or they slow down"
Russian power production will surpass ours
in about Is years.
Opinion and information of this nature
can be very valuable We need all the in
formation we can obtain about what our
cold war enemy is doing and planning. But
we also need to put it in proper perspective
In this country, far more power is used
by homeOwners, industry and agriculture
than in any other major nation-and they
are getting the power now not Is years or
so from now. In the average home cleo
tricity is about as common as water, and
not great deal more expensive. u. S. power
output swells year after year, as the popu-
latiOn grows and as the average consumer
increases his demand And the u. S. utility
industry, even as it makes the most of power
production from conventional sources, is
deeply involved in long list of atomic
power projects.
The point is that no one should minimize
Soviet achievement in power production or
any other field-but,a the same time, no
one should lose sight of what this country
has done and is doing. We are, as of now,
far ahead of Russia in the use and applica-
tion of electricity. And the electric indus
try, which plans years ahead, will continue
to provide every last kilowatt that anyone
wants.

FEBRUARY 1860

In the United States February is the
month of famous birthday anniversaries,
and is the last solid stand of Winter in most
parts of the country. The word February
derives its name from the Latin verb "feb-
ruare", which means to purify.
The two Americans who are probably
recognized throughout the world more than
any others, George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln, were born in February. Other
famous birthday anniversaries which occur
during the month are those of Aaron Burr,
which occurred on the 9th, Charles Dickens
on February 7th, William Henry Harrison,
February 9th, that of James Russell Lowell
on the 22nd, William F. Cody (better known
as Buffalo BilD on February 26th, and
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on February
9th.
February is also the anniversary month
of the Battle of Buena Vista, which occurT-
ed February 22nd and 23rd, 1847, of the dedi-
cation of the Washington Monument, which
occurred February 21st, 1885, of the in
auguration of jefferson Davis, which oc-
Cured February 18th, 1861, of the destruc-
tion of the Maine, in the harbor at Ha-
vana, which occurred on February 18TH,
1898, of the chartering of the Boy Scouts of
America, on February 18th, 1910, and many
others.
1t is the month of Valentines Day, and
of Gasparilla Carnival in Florida. In this
month also come Georgia Day and Grounding
Day, But generally speaking, this is the
birthday month for great Americans. Are
you among them?

Methodist Plan
ForWest-Red
Talks Backed
BY CASPAR NAMES
Star Staf Writer

Methodist Bishop John Wes-
ley Lord of Washington has
Endorsed suggestions that the
Methodist Church arrange in
ternational conferences OF
churches from Communist ma
tions and Western nations in
the interest of world peace.
Pointing out that the over
riding concern of people every
where is for world peace, Bishop
Lord noted yesterday that sug-
gestions have been made for
international conferences
sponsored by the CMethodist) |
church, in which an attempt
would be made to bring face to
face representatives Of oppos-
ing groups.
"Churchmen from Commu-
mist nations would come to the
West, and churchmen from the
West would go to Communist
nations. The Methodist church
would serve as catalytlc |
agent in setting UP such con-
ferences. Only to those who
have no imagination is such a
proposal unrealiStic.
400 Hear Talk
The Methodist leader spoke |
last night to more than 400
ministers and lay church lead
ers of the Baltimore Annual
Methodist Conference in the
Shoreham Hotel. They are at
tending a two-day Human Re-
lations Conference. sponsored
by 10 agencies of the Baltimore
Annual Conference, which has
nearly 100000 members in SAL
churches in Maryland, the Dis
trict of Columbia and three
counties in West Virginia.
DR.. Edwin T. Dahlberg of st.
Louis, president of the National
Council of Churches, will ad-
dress the closing of the confer
ence at 8 o'clock tonight.
Bishop Lord also told the
gathering that it is the respon-
sibility of the church to take
part in politics and in indus
trial and race relations issues.
"It is in just such issues that
the church must stand as in
terpreter and guide to righteous
moral conduct and behavior on
the part of all involved"
He further pointed out that
good people seem to weary of
supporting an honest man long
before bad people weary of sup
porting dishonest ones. It is this
wavering concern Of decent cit
liens for clean, economical gov
ernment rather than the evil
itself which is the problem.
See Labor Drift Away
Bishop Lord also:
l. Said that "by and large,
labor has written off the church
and failed to take seriously
what we say or do. This is a
luxury neither labor nor the
church can afford"
2. Hit at racial discrimina-
ton and enforced segregation
as having mo place in the
Methodist Church. Bishop
Lord declared til for the
Methodist Church to "discrim-
mate against a person solely
upon the basis of his race is
unfair and un-Christian."
3. Attacked the concept that
secularism in itself is bad and
asserted the church must not
cut itself off from valuable
allies who would assist and not
hinder us in the total task of
human redemption -. the
church is not the author of
every good, and many spiritual
wales have been nurtured in So
called secular movements. Per-
haps we need to possess hum
bier and more responsible spirit
toward these forces in human
society. There are many things
that need to be done that the
church cannot do alone"
