What? No Sphere?

Maybe it will be lion. Archibald
Roosevelt is reported to favor one as
memorial to his father. Mrs. Longworth
is reported to lean toward an animal,
but an American animal. Maybe a
mountain lion? If Mrs. Darby, the third
surviving child of Theodore Roosevelt,
has expressed preference for memo
rial it has not come to our attention.
At any rate, Congress has wisely
given it's consent to a memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt, to be erected in the
shadow of the Theodore Roosevelt Me-
mortal Bridge on Theodore Roosevelt
Memorial Island. Provided that the
children of the 26th President add their
approval of a design to that of the Fine
Arts Commission, the National Planning
Commission, the Theodore Roosevelt
Memorial Association and the Secretary
of the Interior.
Senator Case of South Dakota, pilot
ing the measure through the Senate,
produced letter from Hermann Hage-
dorm, the esteemed director emeritus of
the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial AS
ISOLATION, which clears up certain mis-
understandings. He wrote, in part:
In view of the storm of adverse criti-
cism which the proposed celestial sphere
has aroused I want to point out that,
in the plan which the TR Association
originally proposed and the Centennial
Commission adopted, the sphere was
detail and, by no means, the essential
feature what the TR Commission
proposed was a semicircle of granite
panels, IL feet high, bearing quotations
from TR (and. if it seemed desirable.
from other great American leaders as
welD on the moral foundations of free
dom, with smaller granite tablets, or
boulderS, on the paths approaching the
semicircle, bearing quotations on the
same theme, from great leaders of the
other free peoples. The Commission,
that is. proposed Sanctuary of the Free
Spirit which should have significance not
only for the American people but for the
whole world. In this plan the celestial
sphere, which has caused all the commo-
ton :. is a secondary issue. You can
take it or leave it, The sanctuary is the
essential thing On the base of the
sphere, the Commission proposed a bronze
bas-relief of TR speaking to an audience
stretching out to infinity. Such bas-
relief, however, does not require the
sphere.
We definitely disagree. OF course,
it requires the sphere. 1t would be a
shame to abandon the sphere now.
There is still roon14for compromise, how
ever, at the top of the sphere The lion,
or some American animal, might be
placed there.

Elder Michoux' Plan

The proposed housing
project of Elder Lightfoot S.
Michaux is supremely COM
mendable. 1t is. regrettably,
not too often that well-to-do
Negroes make such invest
mentS.
Even though lack of ade-
quate residences is more
acute for Negroes than for
other racial groups. I think
that the Elders undertaking
would be more laudable if
he should follow the "open
occupancy" principle. First
of all, it is the Christian
thing to do. Secondly, it
would be a sparkling ex-
ample of practicing what
others are criticized for not
doing.
I have no doubt that Elder
Michaux welcomes all races
to his Church of God" He
should welcome all peoples
to his apartment project.
]. w. Haywood, Jr.

The announcement of the
effort of Elder Michaux is
like a fresh breeze. The good
elder proposes to offer the
Negro better housing. This
is an example of the Negro
moving to better his own lot,
by his own efforts. And in a
vital area. And not by &C
tions Objectionable to any,
one, SO far as I know. Elder
Michaux, I salue you! What
a pity there are not more

Weight Gain Stressed
A trend in modern pedia-
trio practice, he said, is to
stress weight gains. A baby

more this month than last

with proper milk formulae,
and over-feeding. The moth

Gyorgy, "can physicians be
sure that accelerated weight
gains are only temporary in
terludes, and will have no
lasting effect that may DEM

decades later?" There is no
reason to believe that maxi
mum weight gains are only
temporary interludes and
should be the optimum nu-
tritional goal"
In the United States, he
stressed, at least 80 per cent
of infants are receiving some
supplemental foods before
they are three months old,
and often during the first
weeks. Baby foods" have
been introduced on a large
scale and are excellent. This,
however. does not apply to
much of the rest of the world.

Labor Day has come and
gone with the pleas and argu-
ments of both Democrats and
Republicans to the working
men and women of the coun-
try to get behind and vote
for Senator Kennedy, the
Democrat, and Vice President
Nixon, the Republican, for
President of the United
States. In advance. almost all
the bigwigs in the AFL-CIO
had announced their support
of Senator Kennedy of Mas
Sachusetts. This was not un-
expected-although there is
some division among the la
Dor leaders. Organized labor
has for some years been one
of the strongest allies Of the
Democratic Party. In some
districts, indeed, and even in
some States, it has virtually
taken control. This year most
of the leaders of organized
labor are going all the way to
bring about the election Of
Senator Kennedy.
The question arises wheth-
er after eight years the coun-
try is going back to the elec-
ton of its President and
Chief Executive by bloc"
voting. In the two Eisenhower
elections bloc voting had vir-
tually no effect on the out
come. The organized labor
leaders were almost solidly
favorable to and working for
Adlai Stevenson, and many
of the farm leaders and the
Negro leaders also went along
with the Democratic candi-
date. None of these leaders
were able to deliver" as they
had when the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt was
running for election, and to
a lesser degree, when former
President Harry S. Truman,
Democrat. won in 1948. In the
Eisenhower elections there
was a tremendous amount Of
independent voting. This was
true particularly Of the wives
and women kinfolk of the
members of all groups. The
great issue was peace-and
the farmers, the workers, the
Negroes and others put this
ahead of all other issues.
Eisenhower Kept Faith
It remains to be seen if this
same issue will be effective in
the campaign now underway
In 1852, the war in Korea
against the Communists was
still at stalemate. The coun-
try, having won the Second
World War and helped to set
up the Unitel Nations dedi-
Gated to maintaining peace
full world with justice, had
been disillusioned when the
Democratic administration
had seemingly opened the
door to Communist aggres-
sion against the Republic OF
Korea. Mr.. Eisenhower and
the Republicans promised to
end the war in Korea and to
work for a peaceful world. He
was overwhelmingly elected
He convinced the people he
was sincere, and they have
never lost faith in him, not
withstanding all the attacks

passport abuses. Such legislation was
urged on Congress by President Eisen-
hover after the Supreme Court ruling
in 1858 and the request has been re-
peated-without result. So the State
Department, against It's will, must con-
tinue to issue passports to such persons
as Halperin, believed to be part OF the
Communist conspiracy against us and
the Free World in general. Small wonder
that the Communists look upon us as
decadent, docile doltS!

Nosserism

To your editorial (Septem-
ber II concerning the most
recent act of political assas-
Sination in the Arab world I
would like to add a few points.
I am. of course. referring to
the role of Nasserism in the
whole of the Middle East and
Africa.
Cairo harbors today many
political exiles from Jordan,
Iraq, Tunisia and some of the
African territories. Giving
asylum to political refugees is
not in itself a negative act,
but in the case of Col. Nasser
it is an altogether different
situation, because Cairo not
only invites these people but
she encourages them. guides
them, and finances their acts
of subversion in their former
homelands. Thus Salah Ben
Yussef of Tunisia has become
the symbol of the rift be-
tween President Bourguiba
and Col. Nasser. Tunisian au-
thorities discovered a plot to
assassinate Mr.. Bourguiba
and all the signs and evidence
point to Cairo as being the
center of this plot. In Damas-
Gus, the capital of the north
ern region of the United Arab
Republic, one may find quite
a large number of former
Iraqi citizens on whom Col.
Kassem would very much like
to lay his hands.
King Hussein of Jordan is
now accusing President Mas
ser of having supported the
numerous plots against him
and his country. The death of
Premier Najali is no doubt
the result of the Subversive
activities of the United Arab
Republic and the open incite-
ment to murder the pro-
Western leaders of Jordan
emanating from the powerful
broadcasts of Radio Cairo.
Cairo is not only the center
for subversion in the Arab
world but it is also a place
where any nti-WeStern agi-
tator is always welc me,
whether from Cuba, Algeria,
Alden, Kenya, Congo, or Pan
ANA. Cairo - together with
Leopoldville and Havana-is
probably the most active CEN
ter of Communist subversion
outside of the Soviet bloc.
Thus the Communist-con-
trolled Afro-Asian Solidarity
Conference has its headquar-
ters in Cairo and derives its
budget from the Egyptian
Government.
There is no doubt, and the

Willing to Serve

I am conversant with the
new D. C. law which has ref
erence to jaywalking. From
the viewpoint of one who is a
member of the American So
ciety of Safety Engineers.
who functioned as Chief Ord
nance Safety Engineer during
the last war, who has held
the post of Safety Engineer
for the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road and who has been Su-
pervisor of Safety and Pro-
duction for all Federal Pris-
ons, believe I am capable of
some rapport with the prob
lens faced by the District
Safety Commission.
1t is difficult to cater to a
broad spectrum of the popu-
lace and retain the effective
ness of such a regulatory
process. The problems posed
shall undoubtedly require an
enormous expenditure of time
and study. Many revisions
must be effected if public
sentiment is to be summoned
on the side of existing law.
No law is worth its weight in
sand unless the public is con-
vinced that its interests are
served. Prohibition was a sig
nificant illustration of this
theory.
AS a citizen l am interested
in this law, and would well
come the opportunity to serve
in any manner the Safety
Commission sees fit.

BLOOD
PRECIOUS

We who live In
This present age m
have become ac-
quainted with the
value Of blood
tran U sions.
Thousands Of
people who are
living today owe
their lives TO This
remarkable dis. N 5M
eovery. When God sought TO
choose one substance in the
world TO convey the idea of re-
demption, He chose blood. From
the very beginning God SET
blood aside as something pree-
ioUs. The IsraeIites were not to
eat il, and If blood was spilled
on the ground il was to be COW
cred. God told Noah that the
life Of man was in the blood.
Years later when Christ hung
on the cross, one Of the soldiers
thrust a spear into His side and
there came forth blood and wa
ter. The Apostle John in writing
says in ! John l:7. and
the blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanseth US from all sim"
This healing serum for sin is
one Of the most important doc
trines in the whole Bible but
modern religion is strangely 81
lent upon this score. Yet how
important it is. Even as blood
transfusions mean life TO ailing
bodies, so the blood Of Christ
means life TO sin-sick souls who
apply II by faith. For a very in
teresting study in the Bible
