Japan Answers Back

Prime Minister KiShi's government
has hit back hard and effectively at
the Kremlin'S recent series of protests
against the new Japanese-American
treaty of mutual security and cooper
alton. With admirable bluntneSs, and
with accuracy, it has accused the SovietS
Of having engaged in "SlanderouS" prop
aganda, distortion of facts" and "will-
ful miSinterpretation" of the pact'S true
meaning-and all for the dark purpose
OF interfering in Japan's internal affairs
in manner calculated to weaken the
country'S defenseS.
Moreover, in thus brushing aside the
protests (Which apparently were timed
to support the Communist led mob ac-
ton in Tokyo), the Kishi government has
firmly and emphatically served notice
on the Kremlin that "the grim realities
in the Far East" make the stationing of
American forces in japan necessary for
securing the safety of the nation and
contributing to world peace" AS for
neutrality in the cold war, the Japanese
note, referring by implication to Yugo-
slavia, Poland and Hungary, rejects the
idea in the following words:
The Soviet government has on sew
eral occasions advised the Japanese gov
ernment to do away with foreign military
bases and to adopt a so-called neutral"
policy. But 1t is still fresh in our mem
ory that the Soviet Union denounced GER
tain countries in its own camp when
they sought to take an independent neu-
tral policy, or forced them to give up
such plans by oppressive measures.
Actually, Of course, as the Japa-
nese note aff1rms, the treaty with us is
wholly legitimate defensive undertak-
ing sanctioned by the Charter of the
United Nations. Wholly apart from its
provisions bearing upon nonmilitary COL
laboration, 1t Is pact designed solely
and simply to deter aggression, or "to
meet the common danger" in the event
OF IAN armed attack against either party
in the territories under the administra-
ton Of Japan" In short, It threatens no
nonaggreSSive country genuinely dedi-
Gated to peace.
Despite the recent riotouS demon
strations, the Kishi governments reso-
lutte defense Of this treaty very probably
reflects the basic feeling of the over
whelming Japanese majority. And by
the same token it casts large measure
OF doubt on the thesis that American
policy has suffered disastrous setback
over there as result of the mob forced
cancellation Of President EisenhowerS
planned visit. In any case, as to that,
the vigor Of Japan'S official answer to the
Soviet Union certainly tends to suggest
that the alarmists have exaggerated.

HighboHinq Trucks

Recently I have made sew
eral trips over the highways
Of Maryland and Virginia and
on many of these roads I have
noted speed limit signs of
Cars SIS, Trucks As" How
ever, I have yet to find a truck
which drives at As. Most drive
at least SIS and some pass my
car if I am driving at that
speed. All completely disre-
gard the speed limit. Although
I have several times seen
speeding passenger cars stop
ped by road patrols, I have
never seen a truck stopped
or even given a warning. This
cannot be the fault of the
road patrols who appear
courteous, alert and efficient,
but since trucks uniformly
exceed speed limits one is
given the impression that
patrols may be instructed not
to interfere. Gould this be so?
If it is. why not change speed
limits to Trucks IS and Cars
45"?

Chess With Statues

Now that William Jennings
Bryan and the old brewery
have parted company, where
will we put the Great Com
moner? I hate to think Of
him boxed up and stored
away down at Hams Point.
I suggest that he be re-
stored to good standing and
re-erected in the little plot
at Seventh and Pennsylvania.
From that vantage point,
WJB could waggle his up
raised finger at the common
man and watch great Dem
ocrats and deteSted Repub-
licanS come and go. At the
same time he could keep a
fatherly eye on both ends OF
the Avenue-particularly the
Treasury.
OF course 1t would be nee
essary to remove the neg
lected and battered Faith,
Hope, Charity and Temper
ance thing which currently
disgraceS that spot. I am
sure that none of us fervent
advocates of temperance will
object to the demolishment
of that stork crowned
ground wart."

poor government is the prod

intuition.
Falls Church as it exists
today is so close to the goal
of completion Of needed cap
ital improvements. with the
resultant Stabilization of rev.

questionably retain it's charm
for its residents-old- timers
and newer citiZenS-as a de-
lightful place to call home.
While many of us have, /
suppose, been somewhat pref
udiced against annexation
since it was first suggested,
we have made an honest ef-
fort to obtain information
which might suggest rea-
sons in favor Of such a step.
1t has, however, been impos-
Sible to secure factual infor-

dation that we as citizens
accept this drastic land ex-
pensive )change just because
some unidentified person feels
it will be good for U.S." asks
too much.
1t seems to me something
sad has happened in Falls

lost his right to know" In

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Even children know what
happens when this covering
becomes cut, scratched or
burned.
So
The drying effect Of out
door winds and weather is
matched by our super heated
interiors, ranging from homes
and Offices to buses.
Efforts to supply moisture
to dry interior air remind
one of the modern game of
taking the vitamins out Of
flour, in the milling, and
then putting them back
again in the baking.
We have here examples
of modern roundrobinS, and
while the end results may be
better than nothing, we had
better left things the way
they were in the first place.
Dry interior air means slow
desiccation, and this process
goes on to the greatest ex-
tent according to locations,
but is especially deleterious
to some people.
Being comfortable in an
uncomfortable and somewhat
hostile world means know
ing ones own self. above all.
In this case, it means ones
own trusty skin.
With ordinary caution.
ones skin can be a helpful
integument, indeed; it bears
the brunts of heat and cold,
rain and snow, freezing and
roasting; it protects from
germs and the pricks of out
rageouS fortune, as Shake
Speare put it; the skin takes
a great deal of punishment,
and usually comes up smil-
ing, which really means
clean, cool and comfortable.
Cleanliness is next to god
illness, said Luther, and no.
where is this more pertinent
than in regard to the human
skin, whose wonderful &C
tions help keep the stable
states of the body stable,
else we perish.
Pampering the skin, now
and then, is good for it. 1t
shows this worthy part of
us that we are its friend,
not foe.
A good hand and body To-
ton, or cream of some kind,
not only soothes and helps
the feminine skin, but the
masculine variety, too. There
is no excuse nowadays for
anybody going around with
rough, cracked skin. To be a
roughneck is old-fashioned
and unnecessary

Matter of Fact

There appeared in the
June "a edition of The Star,
an article stating that an
Arlington County lawyer had
been arrested on a bad check
charge.
AS president Of the Arling-
ton County Bar Association,
I received numerous tele-
phone calls over the weekend
with respect to this matter.
My fellow lawyers who call
ed, did not know this gentle
man and seriously doubted
that he was an Arlington law
yer.
An investigation shows that
he is not licensed to prac-
tice law in Arlington County,
Virginia, and while he may
have studied law some time
in his life. and may be a
member of the bar in some
other State, to state that he
is IAN Arlington lawyer" is,
to say the least, very mis-
leading.

University Builder

The tributes paid to DR.. Mordecai
w. Johnson on his retirement as presi-
dent Of Howard University were well
deserved. For it is no exaggeration to
say that Howard's remarkable growth
during the "a years of DR.. Johnson's ad-
ministration has largely been the result
of his untiring and jealous devotion to
the cause Of building great university.
When DR.. johnson came here in 1925
to take charge of the university it was
struggling educationally and financially.

The Star editorial Hail
King and Queen!" (June 28)
was in superb taste, brief
perhaps in length but large
in warmth and sentiment.
From a continent seething
with scorn and hatred Of
America. the youthful Thai
King and his delicate Queen
came as a ray Of hope for
democracy in Asia. In cover
ing the royal visit The Star
did much to illuminate this
Thai-American friendliness
and its significance. How
ever, I wonder If we have not
overlooked the most amaz-
ing facet of this relation
ship-the fact that it does
exist at all.
On June IL I had the
honor and joy of entertain
ing three Thai students visit
ing Washington. Our first
m o m ents together were
crammed with renewing ac-
quaintances-I discovered I
had met one youth in Bang
kok in l959-and a general
exchange Of ''hellos" and
"sawaddi khrabs";; yet some
how, in the midst of all this,
somebody managed to inter-
ject that Thai" meant
free" and that the Thai had
never been under foreign
domination. Whenever you
talk to a Thai, here or in
Bangkok, this fact is brought
to light somewhere in the
conversation, usually near
the outset.
II ever a country played a
joke on history it was Thai
land Cor Siam, as it was
called before the days Of It's
beaming nationalism). While
the British to the west were
killing the Lord White Ele-
phant Of Burma, and the
French to the east were sub
jugating Indo- China, little
Siam played the one Euro
pean giant against the other
so successfully it was finally
recognized as a buffer state

Eichmonn's Crime

One has to agree with the
contention of letter writer
Matthew A. McKavitt, that
Adolf Eichmann did not
violate Israeli law. Israel did
not even exist when Eich-
mann committed his crimes.
But why send Eichmann
back to Germany for trialP
His "horrendous" activities
did not violate any of the
equally horrendous laws of
Nazi Germany. Neither did
they violate Argentine laws.
Almost everyone will agree
that Etc h m ann violated
something. Now what could
that something be, and how
should he be brought to
task? Or should he be set
free again? Samuel Shapiro.

Unwonted Advice

Non-intervention in the po-
litical affairs Of Puerto Rico
is a rule that should be meti-
culously observed by every
one in the United States Co
vernment. Otherwise. we give
the ugly impression Of trying
to influence q Latin American
country at a time when we
can i'll afford to do so.
The recent announcement
that Senator Dennis Chavez
is going to be here July 3 to
attend a Statehood rally and
to speak on the touchy sub
ject of status is distressing to
those of us concerned about
the public relations Of the
United States.
Someone should remind the
Senator that the people Of
Puerto Rico have repeatedly
and Overwhelmingly voted for
Commonwealth status and
that only a minority want
Statehood. He should also
bear in mind that Latin
America generally favorS in
dependence for Puerto Rico
and the least amount of in
tervention from the United
States.
Senator Chavez's speech
will obviously do no good.
Governor Luis Munoz Marin
and his self-governing Com
monwealth are extremely
popular here and no speech
making by the Senator will
change that. What his speech
may do, however, is irritate
some of our good friends in
Puerto Rico and give the
critics of the United States
a juicy item to talk about.

Dear Sir:
"A personal experience Of
mine may help a lot Of peo-
pie next winter.
II found myself itching
more or less all over, and was
told it was winter itch, caused
by the cold weather.
II tried one or more hand
lotions and hand creams, and
found them all helpful.
Then came a fall, and my
back was injured a little, and
I used a heat pad against it,
with good results.
This was the spot that
finally caused the worst itch.
"The itching was so severe
that it never occurred to me
that it was caused by the
drying effect Of the heat pad.
II tried all sorts of reme-
dies, some of them with al
cohol, unfortunately another
dryer.
Everything I did was
making the place worse,
when I hit on one of these
super-duper creams the ladies
use for dry skin.
The thing was magic.
mo sooner had I rubbed
in a quantity of this, than the
itching stopped as If by a
miracle.
"The old skin and tissues
had been crying for lubrica-
ton, and when I supplied it,
the crying stopped.
Il hope this experience will
lead other sufferers from any
form of winter itch to try my
plan.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Truman Blast May Hurt Kennedy
By GOULD LINCOLN

Former President Harry S.
Truman'S dramatic decision
to boycott the Democratic
National Convention has not
only created a big splash in
the political pool but it may
have far more effect on the
actions Of the National Con-
vention than had he re-
manned a delegate and on the
inside. Four years ago Mr..
Truman. going to the Demo-
cratic National Convention
in Chicago, in press confer
enceS before the balloting on
a presidential nomination be-
gan, violently opposed the re-
nomination Of Adlai Steven
son, declaring that the for
mer Illinois Governor would
be beaten more badly by
President Eisenhower than he
had been in 1852. Mr.. Tru-
man was right. In 1856, how
ever, Mr.. Truman occupied
a seat in a prominently
placed box at the National
Convention. And when Mr..
Stevenson won the nomina-
ton Mr.. Truman, like the
true Democrat he is, joined
with other party leaders in
hailing the party's nominee.
Mr.. Truman was not then a
delegate. Senator Symington
was the favorite-son candi-
date Of Missouri-and a del
egate. Mr.. Truman had
plunked for his friend, Gov.
Hartman of New York, in
his effort to defeat Mr..
Stevenson for the nomina-
ton.
Cool to Stevenson
This year, however, Mr..
Truman apparently is not
going to take part in a Ma
tional Convention which is
considered at this point most
likely to nominate for Presi-
dent a candidate whom he
does not approve of, Senator
John F. Kennedy. What Mr..
Truman has done, his re-
fusal to take any part in
the convention and his res
ignation as a delegate, will
emphasize even more strongly
his position than had he
remained in the National
Convention. His own candi-
date for the presidency this
year is his fellow MiSsourian,
Senator Symington. He has
assured Senator Symington
that his resignation as a del
egate does not in any slight
est degree mean that he has
weakened in his support of
the Missouri Senator. It was
Mr.. Truman who first
brought Senator Symington
to Wa shington to take
charge of surplus war sup
plies and later appointed him
to other important posts,
including Secretary of the Air
Force.
Also there is a drive on
to nominate for President for
a third time Adlai Stevenson,
IN the event that Senator
Kennedy is stopped" and
unable to go across a winner,
Such a nomination Mr.. Tru-
man could not stomach again
with any enthusiasm. He does
not believe that Mr.. Steven
son is the man for the job.
And in all probability he
would not care to have Mr..
Stevenson as Secretary of
State, an Office to which Mr..
Stevenson might be appoint
ed If Senator Kennedy is the
next President. Mr.. Steven
son, having held aloof and
declared he was not going
to be a candidate for the
presidential nomination, has
now said that it will be all
Evening star., 1960-07-02

right with him If his name
is presented to the conven-
ton. And there you are.
Mr.. Truman is nothing II
not a hard hitter. He has now
struck hard, declaring that
the Democratic National Con-
vention has been rigged in
favor of the nomination of
Senator Kennedy or some
nominee other than Senator
Symington. The former PreSi-
dent has never run away from
a fight in his life. Quite the
contrary. And he is not doing
it now. While many political
observers and politicians have
been saying that Mr.. Tru-
mans withdrawal from the
convention and his resigna-
ton as a delegate have ended
the chances of Senator
Symington for the preSiden-
tial nomination, Mr.. Tru-
mans blast against Demo-
cratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler, charged with
favoring Senator Kennedy,
may have a very different
effect. 1t may strengthen the
Kennedy opposition, which
has rallied to Senator Lyn-
don johnson of Texas, ma
jority leader of the Senate,
to Senator Symington and
now to Adlai Stevenson.
Which of the Three?
If it becomes clear after
two or three ballots that
Senator Kennedy cannot win
the nomination, which OF the
other three candidates, Sen
ator johnson, Mr.. Stevenson
or Senator Symington, Is
likely to emerge a winner?
Where would the Kennedy
strength go? Some Of the
Democratic leaders think that
in the end of such a dead
lock the nomination may go
to the Missouri Senator. They
say that Senator johnson
from the South would not be
acceptable to the Democrats
of the North. to organized
labor and to the Negro vot-
ers, and that Mr.. Stevenson,
defeated twice, will not be
acceptable to a majority OF
the convention delegates.
This, however, is not the
view taken by Senator john
son and his supporters. The
Truman blowup has en-
couraged them in the belief
that the Texan, already hav-
ing strong support. will be
likely to gain from the
Symington delegates as the
balloting goes on. In the
johnson camp are many OF
Mr.. Truman'S old friends,
among them Oscar Chapman,
former Secretary of the In
terror and now a johnson
wheel-horse, and Mrs. India
Edwards, former vice chair
man of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. They are
shifting victory. They say
that resentment has been
mounting steadily against the
high-pressure maneuverS OF
the Kennedy camp and that
Senator Johnson has con-
stantly been growing In
strength.
Mr.. Truman's blast has had
the effect of bringing all this
resentment to a head and to
the boiling point. 1t is pos
Sible that Democratic leaders
now will take another look
when the convention rolls
around. They may figure that
if former President Truman
feels that way, other Demo-
Gratis will feel as he does
when it comes time to vote
next November.
