They already are prepared to do so.

part Of the park funds. The preserva-

The Rally That FIopped

). George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of
something he calls the American Nazi
Party, blamed the rain for the sparse
attendance at party rally" last Sunday
ina park at Ninth street and Constitu-
tion avenue NV. Reporters said that
only about half dozen persons-other
than reporters and photographers
on hand to hear the American fuehrer
make short speech, during which he
called the whole thing of until next
Sunday.
The published picture of the little
group gathered around Mr.. Rockwell
somehow brought to mind-by contrast
those photographs back in the thirties
of the sieg-heiling throngs that greeted
the original fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, rain or
no rain. If Hitler were alive today he
would not be dancing jig over the be-
draggled turnout of his followers at the
Rockwell rally.
Which brings us to the point of our
editorial: We deplore the principles for
which Mr. Rockwell and his little band
profess to stand, but we think the park
officials were right in allowing him to
have his say-free of police or other in
reference of the sort which prevented
anti-Nazi demonstration in Hitler's
Germany Now Mr.. Rockwell, not in a
position to claim martyrdom, can blame
nobody but the weatherman and the
faintheartednesS of his party members
for the flop of the demonstration last
Sunday.

on some personal grudge that
Mr.. Carmody harbored. Many
productions vastly inferior to
this one have played at the
National and received far
more favorable and less Wit
riolic reviews than your critic
heaped on "A View From the

Could it be that, because
this group has only one big

Morse 'Mistreoted'

We, the members of the
Uptown Morse for President
Club protest the unfair treat
ment our Senator has been
receiving at the hands of the
local press.
Our chief complaint is the
constant referral to Senator
Morse as the candidate who
is not serious" This, in spite
Of the fact that Senator
Morse has continually re-
peated in his speeches, the
majority of which are not
covered by the press, that he
is dead serious and that no
one knows what might hap
pen at the convention in
Los Angeles.
There is almost a complete
lack of coverage of the &C
tive campaigning of Senator
Morse here where he has
been averaging several
speeches a week while there
is practically total coverage
OF Senator Kennedy and
Senator Humphrey in far
away States.
This is unfair reporting
which one is taught not to
expect OF such a great paper
as The Star.
Senator Morse, to us, is the
modern-day Abraham Lin
coin and can provide the type
Of leadership so much needed
and which we so desperately
lack.
Let us all exercise our right
to vote in this primary by
registering to vote on April
Z, 8. and 9, and voting on
May 3 for Senator Morse,
who was instrumental in
passing legislation to feed
1000 hungry school children;
who is a leader in the fight
for home rule; who believes
in civil rights for all, ire
spective of race, color. or
creed. and who introduced
legislation permitting the
residents Of the District of
Columbia to vote in this
primary.
God bless Senator Morse, a
true friend of the poor and
downtrodden.

had to justify it after the
fact? I'm surprised no one
in the audience at the Ma
tional stood up to say, "Mr.
Adler, I cannot feel sorry for
you; you already feel sorry
enough for yourself" Why
didn't anyone care enough to
ask, Mr.. Adler, when was
the last time you made a
curtain speech thanking a
critic for a favorable re-
view?"
It's about time that some
notice was taken of the
thought, attention and devo-
ton that Mr.. Carmody (and
Mr.. Coe and Mr.. Donnelly)
have for the legitimate the
ater. Washington has only
two professional theaters-
National and Arena Stage
yet these men and their
newspapers care enough
about them to donate more
space per production than
do the critics and papers in
practically any other metro
politan United States city.
My hat is off to Mr.. Car
mody; he wrote a brilliant
review that attracted atten-
ton; that is his job. Too bad
Mr.. Adler chose to attract at
tention by reflection and not
by his job. AS soon as audi
ences learn to perform their
duty-to be audiences, not
be sheep-the theater will
have reached the position that
all the critics want for it.

Deprived of HERITAGE

I should like to add my
voice to the many which I
am sure will be raised advo-
eating suffrage for the District
of Columbia. The need for
and indeed the right of-this
franchise would appear to be
automatic that no additional
words Of explanation or justi-
f1cation should be necessary.
Through the centuries men
have been willing to fight and
die for the right of self-gov-
ernment, and our country was
founded on this principle.
Each time a schoolboy recites
the American Greed he claims
a privilege to which his Amer
ican heritage apparently en-
titles him. What a mockery
such a recitation becomes in
the District of Columbia.
There is nothing wrong
with our commissioner form
of government. Indeed, we
are fortunate in the basic
type of rule existing in our
city, for the presidential ap-
pointees have been men Of
outstanding character and
ability. They are, however,
powerless when we are with
out representation in the ma
tional legislative bodies and
have no voice in the selec-
ton Of the Chief Executive.
On the contrary, most of our
municipal ills would be cor
rected If this franchise were
granted US.
The current resolutions be-
fore Congress are inadequate
in that they do not provide
for representation in the
Senate nor do they guarantee
that the persons duly elected
to the House of Representa-
tives will have a vote. AS cur
rently written they seem to
me rather insulting to the cit
izens of the Nations Capital
and will, I hope, be amended
so as to give us the proper
voting representation in both
houses as well as a vote for
the President and Vice Presi-
dent. This right is long over
due.

Spotlight on Role of Drama Critic
Joe Smith.

Janet K. Dorsch's letter
deserves the same amount of
attention received by the
Adler-Carmody S situation.
Maybe more. The question Of
how much WashingtonianS
allow their critics to make
decisions for them, Miss
Dorsch. is precisely the ques-
tion that should not be left
aside. If the audiences are
willing to be led, like sheep,
and if they can think for
themselves only when it
comes to choosing cigarette
brands, don't suggest that
the fault lies with the critics.
They are newspapermen who
are capable of performing
their jobs extremely well.
Be thankful that Washington
has a Mr.. Carmody who can
use his gifts as a writer to
compose a brilliantly written
review. From others whose
judgments I also respect, he
did his newspaper job far
better than Mr.. Adler did his
theatrical assignments.
What harm did Mr.. Car
mody do by "such left
handed reviewing? He may
have given Luther Adler some
thing that he does not de-
serve-immortality.
When an actor walks out
on the stage, he knows he
is exposing himself to all
kinds of criticism. He has to
be prepared for it: he ex-
poets it; he wants it. The
more balanced ones are able
to profit by the judgment
of others. So, Mr.. Adler
found it necessary to "read
from a couple of the many
favorable reviews he said the
play had had"? He did this
for the benefit of the audi
ence after they had seen the
play? Could he not have
allowed his performance to
speak for itself? Did he him.

THE POLITICAL MILL
The Roles of Nixon, Rockefeller
By GOULD LINCOLN

There is room for two
strong figures in the ma
tional Republican Party =
Vice President Richard NJ.
Nixon. a. Californian, and
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
Of New York. The COP. is
lucky to have them. Gov.
Rockefeller's record as chief
executive of the Nations most
populous and wealthy State
and the progress the State
has made in one short year
through the cooperation of
the Governor and the Repub-
lican Legislature have been
remarkable. 1t should be a
symbol to people of what
may be done by Republican
rule in domestic affairs. Vice
President Nixon, for his part,
has done a remarkable job
in an Office which is the sec
ond highest (electively) in
the United States but which
has been too long neglected.
Because of President Eisen-
hower's foresight and will
ingneSS to make use of Mr..
Nixon's ability. the Vice Pres
ident has been a great help
in tackling both international
and domestic problems.
The New York Legislature
last week completed its work
and adjourned, the second
annual session since Mr..
Rockefeller took over from
Democratic Gov. Hartman.
1t is now possible to estimate.
what has been done, to take
a look at the record. Republi-
can State Chairman Judson
Morhouse, summing up, said:
This session will be remem-
bered as the successful turn
ing point in re-establishing
solvent, efficient and pro-
gressive government in our
State. In one incredibly short
year-following the difficult
decisions of 1859 to resolve a
$700 million budget-balanc-
ing deficit inherited from the
Hartman Levitt admins
tration-Gov. Rockefeller and
the Republicans in the Leg
islature have achieved a truly
balanced budget and a strong
pay-as-you-go posture, point
ing toward tax relief and tre-
mendous savings for the tax
payers in the years ahead"
Increase State Aid
In addition to this budget
balancing, the Republican
government of New York has
taken important steps to
solve economic, social and
educational problems. For
example, Gov. Rockefeller
and the Legislature provided
a record increase of $99
million in State aid for edu-
cation; a SAL million in
crease in State aid for New
York City to an all-time-
high of $425 million; and
has developed new concepts
in two critical areas-invest-
ment Of private capital in
housing for middle-income
families and the utilization
OF the States credit to as
sure completion of a half
billion-dollar program of
building facilities at private
universities and colleges to
accommodate the rising tide
Of high school graduates. The
State financial aid to educa-
ton has reached an all-time
high of $500 million. These
increases and totals are not
chicken feed. Further, legis-
lation has been enacted look
ing to heavy aid in highway
development, an increase e
in unemployment compensa- l.

Dear Sir:
II hope you can help me
with a problem relating to
my child. She is 8 years old
and shutters. We have tried
all the remedies suggested
by good friends without
results.
"She is a happy, beautiful
child. with no fault except
this inability to talk prop
erly. especially with others.
At times, when with me, she
does not stutter at all.
Il have tried various meth
DDS with her. such as hav-
ing her wave her hand as
she speaks, and have tried
singing lessons. and careful
reading, but nothing seems
to do much good.
"She is not a timid child,
in the usual sense.
Il recall having read, a
long time ago. that the
French doctor, Emile Coue,
cured some local child of
this malady.
do you know anything
about that?
knowing your interest in
people and all living things,
I have been spurred to write
to you, and hope this isn't
a bore.

Nobody seems to know
much about this speech de-
feet. even today, with all the
advances in medicine.
That it is a personality de-
feet is generally believed.
The leading theory is that
fear is what motivates the
stammerer.
The remedy, then, is love.
This is no reflection upon
anybody, it is just what hap
pens in life, sometimes.
The child may have heard
a quarrel, or have been
frightened by rough laughter.
There is no telling what it
was. and really no need to
know.
Sometimes this defect can
be cured by a strong per-
sonality using the powers of
persuasion.
1t is, at bottom, a fear Of
human contacts. Somebody
or something in the past set
up a chain of fear. Now the

can. The suffering child
must be surrounded with
care and affection, just as
some babies are in hospitals.
Loving tender care" they
call it for babies, and 1t is
just the same for older
children.
1t is held that prior to
speech, the human being
makes many queer noises
that are a veritable part Of
the past.
These odd sounds are un-
derstandable in all babies.
They are basic to human
speech, but for any one Ian
guage, there are too many of
them.
The child as it grows must
reject most of them.
The child that, through
some sort of fear, hangs onto
more of them than he needs,
is the sufferer.
This is easily heard in the
queer gurgles made by many
persons who Stutter. Instead
of making the sound they
should, they first are using q
sound from the childhood Of
the race.
&&
The normal child has
managed, somehow and willy
nilly. to discard all but the
speech sounds needed in
talking English, let us say.
The stutterer holds onto
too many ancient sounds.
The result, for him, is that
he cannot launch himself
definitely and instantly at a
certain needed sound.
The thing sounds sensible.
The problem, of course.
especially with the older
child, is how to teach him to
adjust to other people.
He must, somehow, lose his
everyday fear of others, es-
pecially strangers.
Here only the expert in this
work can help. since the
problem is beyond the powers
of even the most loving par
ent or friend.
The beautiful child cured"
by Emile Coue did not stay
cured. The power of his per-
sonality was able to help her
immensely for a few days, but
after that she reverted to her
former stammering. We have
always wondered if she still
stutters. There can be no
doubt that if Coue had been
able to treat her further, she
would have been cured In
actually.

1t may cause some irritation.
But that's the way to

But, why limit the good
deed at this particular time
to South Africa? If 20 Asian
and African nations would
make the request we might
very well use services of
United Nations in the USA,
for the benefit of our civil
rights marchers, lunch coun-
ter sitdowners and desegre-
cation rioters. On the other
hand, while the book of

mum weekly benefits, also

insurance and sickness disa-
bility insurance, for relief Of
small business. and q guaran-
tee to elderly people that,
upon retirement, they can
convert health insurance
from group coverage' to in
dividual protection at q rea-
sonable rate.
With such a record Of ac-
complishment, the Republi-
cans in New York should be
able to look forward to fu-
ture victories at the polls
for the Legislature, for Con-
gress. and for reelection Of
Gov. Rockefeller in 1862 -
If he runs. Democratic-con-
trolled States - and there
are many of them - will
have a hard time matching
this record.
Can Aid COP.
OF these two Republicans,
Mr.. Nixon is a candidate for
President, and the Governor
announced last winter he was
withdrawing from the presi-
dental race. The Governor,
however, is in a position to
aid the COP. national tick
ct tremendously in the COM
ing campaign. He can either
accept a vice presidential
nomination if the national
convention should draft him,
or he can throw himself
heartily into a drive to elect
Mr.. Nixon President next fall.
Some Republicans are re-
ported to have the political
filters because Mr.. Nixon has
fallen of in some of the pub
lie opinion polls as an oppon-
ent either of Senator Kennedy
or Adlai Stevenson, Demo-
Gratis, for the presidency.
This kind Of fear seems at
the very least premature. Mr..
Nixon did better than Presi-
dent Eisenhower's record in
the recent New Hampshire
presidential primary. He is at
tending to his work in Wash
ington, getting few headlines
while Senator Kennedy has
had the spotlight campaign
ing in the Wisconsin presi-
dental primary, and Mr..
Stevenson, as q potential
winner of the Democratic
presidential nomination over
the Senator, has been much
in the news. When Mr.. Nix
on has been nominated and
starts campaigning against
a Democratic candidate, the
picture could change greatly
if the present business in
crease continues and the in
ternational situation improves
at the summit and other con-
ferences. Mr.. Nixon, himself,
is not the jittery kind. He
will fight hard when the time
comes.
A lukewarm Gov. Rookie
feller-once the Nixon nomi-
nation is made-would be q
blow to COP. chances in the
general election. But why
should he be lukewarm? To
be so would make him out a
poor loser. an ambitious, rich
young man who dislikes any
body who gets in the way Of
his chief ambition-the White
House. 1t is not expected the
Governor will play such a
role. Certainly, If the unex-
pected happens and the Re-
publican convention should
turn from Mr.. Nixon at the
last moment and nominate
Gov. Rockefeller for Presi-
dent, the Governor could ex-
pect the warmest and hard
est fighting support from Mr..
Nixon.
