THE POLITICAL MILL
A Far Cry From Stephen Decatur
BY GOULD LINCOLN

We have gone a ''fur-
piece" down the road since
the days of Stephen Decatur.
a United States naval hero in
the early 1800s. It was Deca-
tur, responding to a toast,
who said: "Our country: in
her intercourse with foreign
nations may she always be
right; but our country, right
or wrong" Today it has be-
come popular in certain quar-
ters to decry the President of
the United States and the
country's intercourse with
foreign nations. The chair
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, no less
Senator William Fulbright of
ArkanSaS-at a time when
this country and President
Eisenhower are under bitter
attacks by the Communists
of Soviet Russia and China,
has seen fit to charge that
the prestige Of the United
States is at a new low" due
to the U-2 incident and Jap
ans withdrawal of her invi-
tation to the President to
visit Tokyo.
Play Mr.. KS Game
Mr.. Fulbright's address to
the Senate followed a few
hours after President Eisen-
hover, reporting to the ma
ton on his recent trip to the
Far East, laid the blame
squarely on the Communists
both for the blowup of the
summit conference in Paris
and for the riots in Japan
which led to the withdrawal
of his invitation to visit that
country. And he said: I'VE
in the United States must
not fall into the error of
blaming ourselves for what
the Communists do; after all.
Communists will act like
Communists" He added:
above all we must bear in
mind that successful imple-
mentation of any policy
against Communist imperial
ism requires that we never
be bluffed, cajoled. blinded
or frightened. We cannot win
out against the Communist
purpose to dominate the
world by being timid, passive
or apologize when we are
acting in our own and the
free worlds interests"
The chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, in
his bitter criticism of what
he called the "bumbling and
fumbling" of the administra-
ton, said the country could
not begin to regain our posi-
ton in the world until we can
disabuse ourselves of the hab-
it of self -delusion. of viewing
defeats as victories and of ad-
vertising blunders as strokes
of genius. He went on to
say that Adlai Stevenson, an
other Democrat, had been
right in his May 19 state
ment that this Government
had given Russian Premier
Khrushchev the "crowbar and
sledge hammer" to wreck the
Paris conference. And Mr.
Fulbright added on his own
1--WE might even go further
and say that we forced Khru-
shchev to wreck the confer
ence by our own ineptness."
Apparently the Democrats
have now elected to make po-
litical capital out of the U-2
incident and the withdrawal
Of the invitation to President
Eisenhower to visit Japan. In
their efforts to discredit Mr.,
Eisenhower and the Republi-
can administration, they seem
to overlook the fact they are
Evening star., 1960-06-30

helping to play Khrushchev's
own game, which is not only
to divide the American peo-
pie, but to make us appear
weak and inept in the minds
Of our allies. This is not a
pretty picture. 1t may in the
end prove mighty poor poll
tics.
Part of the Democratic ef-
fort. too, is to belittle Presi-
dent Eisenhower because of
his goodwill trips to many
nations of the world. All their
criticism is based on the fact
that the visit to Japan did
not come off. They overlook
the wonderful receptions ac-
corded Mr.. Eisenhower when
he visited capitals of our Eu-
ropean allies. and then later
India and other nations of
the East, and later still when
he toured South America.
President Eisenhower, in
his report to the Nation.
strongly pointed out that the
Communist leaders had come
to regard these goodwill
visits Of the President of the
United States to the nations
Of the world as a blow to the
Communist drive for world
domination. So much had
they become aware Of this
danger. the President said
that they had used false rea-
sons for withdrawing the
Khrushchev invitation to the
President to visit Russia, and
later had gone to great
lengths to stir up riots in
Tokyo that, in the end, COM
PEELED the Japanese govern
ment to withdraw its invita-
ton, too. The President
couldn't be Fighter. Yet his
critics in this country insist,
that these actions on the part
of Red Russians and the Red
Chinese are to be overlooked
because of our own bum
bling and fumbling." How
do these Eisenhower critics
expect the American people
to react to the critics own
blunders?
Attacks Not New
Such attacks by Democrats
on the Eisenhower admins
tration and its handling Of
foreign relations Of this
country are not, in reality,
new at all. When the late
John Foster Dulles was Sec-
retary of State, the Demo-
cratic shout was that we had
lost all our friends abroad;
that Mr.. Dulles was constant
ly bringing us to the brink Of
war, and that he was either
too adamant or too yielding.
Indeed, Mr.. Dulles was criti-
cized for constantly travelling
about the world on many
missions. In those days the
same charge was made. that
the prestige of the United
States had fallen to a low
degree. Mr.. Dulles died. The
expressions Of regret coming
from our friends abroad were
sincere-and they expressed
their feeling of loss because
of the death of a strong,
valiant leader against world
communism. We rediscov-
cred, if we did not know it
already, that we-and Mr..
Dulles-had plenty Of friends
abroad.
The Democrats will have a
tough time, if they try it,
making the American people
or our allies believe that
President Eisenhower has
sold them short in defense
measures against the Com
muniStS, or that he has failed
to lead a courageous crusade
for world peace.

Better Course
Before Teaching
Child Language

According to DR.. HI. Nichols,
superintendent of schools, For
eign languages again this year
will not be offered as part OF
the elementary school program.
However, experiments in for
eign language will be given at
both Prospect and Superior
schools.
In discussing this subject, DR..
Nichols said that it would be
unlikely that the East Cleveland
school system would teach for
eign languages on an element
ary level until some standards
are set, and the equipment and
foreign language teachers at the
elementary level are better and
in more abundance. He said
that educators are presently
evaluating the program as it
exists in other systems. The
Superior Prospect experiment.
with foreign language tapes
will also add to the knowledge
and evaluation of the programs.

A Boy And Baseball

When Baseball season rolls around
A boy, it always seems
Not only plays the game all day
But all night long in dreams.
He is a Little Lacquer but
Just watching him, you'd know
He's ready for the big time, thinks
He really is Pro.
If his team wins, he's full of glee
If losing full of shame
1t was pure luck or better yet
The umpire was to blame.
He cannot work around the house
You see, he's all tired out
But come game time, he sure is off
And running with shout
Imaginary games, he plays
When going down the street
An unseen ball he throws, then bats
It's really quite feat
His mother thinks that sometimes folks
Feel sure her son is queer
That's why she heaves great big sigh
When winter time draws near.

DIT. Baker Nets
; Burglars
In Station

Commended by Police Chief
H. S. Weaver or excellent
police work was Detective Will
liam Baker who prevented a
burglary at Cipiti gas station
July 3Oth and captured the
would-be thieves.
Dt. Baker was driving past
the gas station, 1886 Hayden
ave., at 1885 am. Saturday
when he noticed the front door
of the station being closed. He
drove into the property and saw
a man inside stopped over in the
fabrication room of the station.
At about the same time he no.
ticed two other men in the
office of the station. He radioed
for assistance, got out Of his
car, pushed open the front door
of the station and told all the
men inside to lay down.
Two of the men had canvas
gloves on and were holding
screw drivers. Burglar tools
were found in the trunk of the
car in which the would-be
thieves arrived. The three men,
ages, 18, 10 and 20 were arrest
ed. One of them had a police
record as a juvenile, the others
denied ever committing any
other crimes.
Three police cars responded
to Dt. Bakers call and took the
to Jail. Policemen on
the scene included 1t. Herbert
Fortune, Sgt. Allan Pearce,
Ptlm. Bernard Nc Alea, Peter
Tarbell, Leroy Heidenreich, Ron
Williams and George Williams.
Joseph Cipiti, station owner
reports that nothing was taken
from the station.

Cleveland depot.
Deep and jagged chunks of
pavement are missing across
the entire breadth of the park
ing lot, making it impossible to
pick even a visual path over it.
The appearance is so forbiding,
that more timid souls would
feel braver crossing the coun-
try on rails at 80 mph than
crossing the parking lot at
night in high heels.
A sign on the middle door,
which is the main entrance
to the depot, requests that
you use the doors on either
side of it. It reads, 'Please
use" and the PLEASE is in
capital letters. The sign is
downright provocative,
Once inside the station, a
glance at the massive patches
where parts Of the cornice are
missing leads one to wonder
if they were Clipped out in a
sudden surge of economy to
fill in the areas Of the parking
lot so desperately in need of
attention.
By careful scrutiny about
four people can be seen on
hand. These are the people who
are employed here and during
most of our visits they have
outnumbered the passengers
using the station.
In it's 1859 annual report.
New York Central Railroad
Company said it is "refurbish-
ing commuter cars and sta
tions". 1t was careful to ex-
plain that this program was be-
gun that year in the New York
City area. 1t doesn't say if it
plans continue this practice
across the country. Even if it
does there are a lot of stations
between New York City and
East Cleveland.
Also contained in the same
annual report are pictures of
former railroad depots. leased
or sold to outside interests.
Numbered among them is one
in Buffalo, N. Y. and one in
Briarcliff, N. Y. The one in
Briarcliff is now being used
as a library. Rumor has it
the depot in another large
city, Rochester, N. Y. will
be closed down except for one
ramp which will serve pass
engers. The rest of the sta.
tion will be used for a
shopping development. Other
depots have been turned into
museums, banks and club
houses.
The report states that 1857
losses were cut in
half in 1859 by fare adjust
ments and elimination of "un-

Board Asks
For Lew
Renewal

A reversal in today's trend
towards higher and higher taxes
is expected at Monday nights
School Board meeting. Although
it will not seek a decrease, the
East Cleveland Board is going
to ask for renewal of the same
tax levy it has been using for
the past five years which is
~ mills.
A renewal Of this levy will
keep the East Cleveland rate
at 1877 which is the lowest
school tax rate of all suburbs
in Cuyahoga County. Of East
Cleveland's total, 1888 is used
for operation and 1872 for debt
retirement on the new building.
Shaker Heights has the high
est county tax rate and highest
per pupil cost in the state with
a 28.8 levy. Shaker is able to
provide the lowest teacher
pupil ratio in the area.
Cleveland had the lowest
school tax rate last year with a
1873 levy. However total taxes
in Cleveland came up to $50 per
$1,000 valuation while East
Cleveland's total taxes were
$33.70 per $1,000.
School tax rates in surround
ing communities for the past
year show these figures, Cleve-
land Heights, 28.7, Lynhurst,
28.7, Mayfield Heights. 23.9,
and Euclid 23.8. East Cleve-
landers will vote on the school
tax levy in November
