THE LONG ROW of whole
sale food houses west of
Twelfth street had dis
appeared completely.
The Terminal Warehouse
at the northeast corner of
Twelfth and F streets is a
blasted ruin. But the bell
tower still stands, a beauti-
ful octagonal brick struc-
ture, reminiscent of the early
church towers of Lombardy.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
The bells that chimed on
each quarter of the hour are
gone. The clock that in
formed passing thousands
whether they were on time
or late for work is gone. The
weather vane is gone.
Yet 1t was only in 1882
years ago-that the tower
was dedicated to Clarence F.
Norment, chairman of the
board of the Terminal Ware
house and Of the Norfolk &
Washington steamship line.
His widow, who lived at the
sheraton-Park, died only a
few months ago, well over
100.
And now the tower has to
go. There is something so
American about this imper-
manency Of our memorials.
But Southwest is no Car
thage. 1t is rather a phoenix,
the Egyptian bird that, de-
stroyed by fire after a few
centuries, arose fresh and
young from its own ashes.
William Zeckendorf has at
last been allowed to start his
Town Center" a shopping
center and two large apart
ment houses on Fourth
street, and his contractor,
Jack Bender of Blake Con-
struction Co., has done an
amazing job Of excavating
and pouring concrete in the
few weeks since ground was
broken.

The
Rambler
.Reyisits
Old Southwest
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler rather
dreaded it. But he will 60
anywhere in the line of duty.
He steeled himself and
told a taxi driver to give
him a tour of the old South
west.
The driver had a friend in
the front seat and the
friends amazement at the
destruction was significant.
Southwest has been de-
stroyed as thoroughly as the
Carthage that Cato, the Gen.
sor. inveighed against with
his "Carthago delenda est"
After passing acres of
snow covered fields that
had been highly populated
-"slumS in the shadow of
the Nations Capitol" - we
came to the Municipal Fish
Wharf.
Only the central, two
story section, the part long
occupied by Herzog's restau-
rant. was still standing. The
concrete piers of the super
highway that destroyed the
wharf are standing in Wash
ington Channel.
1t seemed a long time ago
when the Rambler had dined
on its balcony, thrown PEN
nies to children dancing on
the wharf and watched the
sun go down behind the trees
OF Arlington Cemetery.
And it was a long time ago.
1t was another world-the
world between world wars.

After the establishment of the
national government in Nam

United States again took the

material support to China in

fought shoulder to shoulder

victory.
After the Chinese Commu-
nistS seized the mainland and
set up a puppet regime there
under the ageis of Soviet Rus

ment has consistently MAIN
tained a just stand by denounc-
ing the Peiping regime.
U. S. Support Outlined
I On the one hand, it has con-
scientiously upheld the position
of the Republic Of China in
the world community, and on
the other hand it has barred
the Chinese Communist re-
gime from gaining admittance
into the United Nations. In the
meantime, it has steadily sup
piled the Republic of China
with military. economic and
technical assistance to help her
build up here on Taiwan a base
for national recovery so as to
keep alive the hopes of deliv-
erance on the part of the mil
lions of people enslaved on the

order to insure the free worlds
security in the Western Pacific
In the autumn Of 1858, when
the Chinese Com nun i S t S
launched a large-scale artillery
bombardment against Kinmen
[Quemoyl and used aircraft
and naval vessels to cut of sup
plies from reaching our garri-
son forces there, it became in
Stantly clear that this was a
part of an attempt not only to
seize this shield of the Taiwan
straits but also to overcome
our baStion on Taiwan on which
the security of the Western
Pacific depends.
Challenge Met
Our garrison forces imme-
diately rose to the challenge
and fought back. and with the
effective logistic support Of our
American ally, we won a bril-
liant victory. This has not only
secured the offshore islands,
but has also caused the Chinese
Communists military venture to
end in a disastrous defeat. This
serious test, to which co-opera-
ton between our two countries
under the mutual defense treaty
had been subjected, has fully
demonstrated its effectiveness
and its special value.
Your Excellency, relations
between our to countries in the
116 years since our first formal
diplomatic contact have been
a long record of genuine
friendship which has been as
great as it has been deep. OF
this record our two nations
can feel justifiably proud.
Today the world is in the
grip of tension and uneasiness.
This is the result Of the con-
spiracy between the Soviet
Russian imperialiStS and their
puppet the Chinese Commu-
nists. They are out deliberately
to undermine peace and to
upset order in an attempt to
conquer the whole world and
to enslave all mankind. This
has increased the responsibility
of the United States to lead
the free world In resisting this
evil force of communism.
/ In this connection, ] would
like to stress that right now
the Communist bloc is con-
centrating its aggression in
Asia, where the Chinese Com
munists are the principal per-
petrator. Since the United
States and the Republic o1
China have the joint RESPONSE
bility as allies to resist aggres-
sion and secure peace in this
area, solidarity and co-opera-
tion between our two countries
have become a matter oi
greater Importance than evel
before.

a brilliant young revolutionary
leader who unified China in a
series of mastery campaigns.
He set it on the road to be-
coming a modern democratic
nation. He further deepened
our respect and earned our
gratitude by his indominatable
leadership of our great Far

Recalls 1946 Visit
This is my second visit to
the government of the Repub-
lie Of China, as President
Chang has remarked. In 1916,
when I visited China, as Chief
of Staff of the United States
Army. President Chang had
just led his embattled people
to victory in the face of tre-
mendous odds. He was then
acutely conscious that China
faced a new threat, one as yet
scarcely recognized in the rest
OF the world.
President Chang, with un-
diminished courage and vigor,
still leads China in resistance
to the menace he saw so clear
ly IA years ago. He stands now
as our partner in a great al
lance of free peoples, who have
come to share his own appre-
citation of the need for unity
against the global threat of
Communist imperialism.

Your Excellency has come a
long way to visit our country.
This is an event of great his
toric significance and has great
bearing on the promotion of
Sino-American friendly rela-
tionship and the strengthening
of our cooperation in our COM
mon struggle against interna-
tional Communist aggression.
For this reason the govern
ment and people of the Re-
public of (Nationalist) China
feel greatly inspired by your
presence in our midst.
I recall with pleasure our
first meeting at the Cairo con-
ference in 1943 and our second
meeting in Marking in 1916
when you visited China in your
capacity as Chief of Staff of
the United States Army.
Today, IA years afterward.
I again have the pleasure of
receiving you and renewing
with you our old friendship,
this time in this bastion of our
national recovery. On behalf
of the government and people
Of the Republic of China I wish
to extend to Your Excellency
our warmest welcome.
Our two peoples have long
cherished the same ideals. We
both treasure freedom, love
peace and uphold justice. The
fundamental principles on
which our two nations are
based are virtually identical
The three peoples principles

racy and social well-being) ad-
vocated by DR.. Sun Yat-sen

to stand fast on moral grounds
and to fight together for free

Your Excellency's visit will
not only promote the traditional
friendship and close co-opera-
ton between our two countries,
but will also further inspire the
.enslaved people on the Chinese
mainland in their hope to re-
gain freedom, and further con-
solidate the will and resolution
of all the peoples in Asia to
resist Communist aggression.
The significance cannot be over
estimated.
On behalf of the government
of the Republic of China and

self of this opportunity to ex-
press my most sincere respect

and military personnel alike,
your presence in our midst as a
great ally and friend to share
with us whatever difficulties
may lie ahead of US. carries
with it an unusually great sig
niflcance. We shall forever
remember the precious friend
ship you have brought us in
this visit.
Your Excellency, when you
began your presidency seven
years ago you advocated the
policy of liberation for people
behind the Iron Curtain. This
policy has been a cause of
encouragement to all freedom
lovers the world over and par =
ticularly to the 800 million
people enslaved in the Com
munist-controlled countries and
areas. We believe that a real
world peace must be based upon
freedom and justice. but free
dom and justice can be secured
only by the early removal OF
the Iron Curtain.
The present state Of slavery
can never be permitted to per-
petuate itself. I am glad to
inform Your Excellency that
thanks to your great policy, we
have succeeded in building here
on Taiwan a base for the even
tual liberation of our people
on the mainland. One day
when all our compatriots at
present under the Communist
yoke are free again, they will
never forget what your great
policy has meant to them and
to entire mankind.
The Republic of China and
the United States have been
faithful friends in need in the
past and they are staunch allies
today. Henceforth we should
further strengthen our CO.
operation and strive harder for
the attainment of this noble
goal.

she should not have told you

their offspring they can &C.
cept q date or q party invita-
ton but later change their
minds and just leave 1t TO the
youngsters to explain to their

my opinion, parents should
show consideration for q

avoid doing or saying things
which might embarrass them
in front Of other people.
