Berlin Refugees

Rather interesting inter-
pretationS could be obtained
by reading between the lines
of an article in The Star of
July 18 entitled, Berlin
Refugee Flow Prompts Specu-
lation."
Take the sentences with
the Communist threat to
West Berlin sending record
numbers Of refugees into that
city, the question once more
arises: Why don't Commu-
mist police cut off the exodus,
which worsens production
shortages in East Germany
and gives the satellite regime
a worse name?" Or-"FeW of
the refugees are active anti
Communists though they dis
like the Red regime" and
THE refugees keep arriving
in droveS. Many have been
preparing their flight for
months"
Would not this situation also
have the possibility of a
subtle Soviet plot to pack"
West Berlin with a large
number of sympathizers to
the Red cause? If this pos
Sibility exists, then should
"free elections" be permitted
to determine the choice Of
the West and East Germany,
perhaps the majority votes
could add up to a victory for
the Communists! No doubt
our intelligence agencies have
considered this possibility,
and would have taken ap-
propriate steps; however, I
could not help but invite
your attention to the rather
ambiguous situation.

A. Persons born from about
July 81 to August 20 are
usually kind, generous, i'm
pulsive, loyal, vigorous and
proud, but some of them may
become overbearing, selfish
and egotiStic. The Leo-born
must lead, or be noticed, in
order to be happy. Charac-
teriStic occupations are stage,
public speaking. banking, po-
sitions of leadership. Leo
children are self-willed, af-
fectionate, vital and often tai
ented. Leo people. young and
old. resent dictation or inter-
ference, but respond quickly
to kindness and sympathy.

foreign aid has been that it
has gone in Spurts, that long
range projects having a bear
ing on really worthwhile and
lasting improvement could
not be undertaken because of
the necessity of getting an
nual appropriations. The
wisdom of being able to un-
dertake longer range projects
is obvious. True, there can be
some argument about wheth-
er borrowing or some other
m e thod of financing is
better.
The obstacle in Congress
now seems to center not SO
much on the ends and OBJ
jectives desired as on the
ways and means.
The Citizens Committee for
international Development
has made a study of this
and comes out with the con-
cluSion that borrowing au-
thority is the only feasible
method and asserts that
Congress can set the pace
and limits at which borrow
ing can be done; that Con-
gresS will establish the cri-
terra for loans; that Con-
gresS can amend and even
reduce the borrowing author
ity at any time. The group
equates the borrowing au-
thority with the sort Of de-
cision a board of directors
might make in authorizing
officers of a company to pro-
ceed on a given five-year
program, retaining the right
of review.
This is being explored IN
Congress and possibly some
better method will appear,
but an end to the annual
pickering is surely desirable.
It is just terribly impor-
tant for all of us, each Of us,
to be informed, to tell our
neighbors, to write our Con-
gressmen. to do what we can
to lift this consideration out
of log-rolling politics to a
plane Of humanity and peace
and stability where it
belongs.

Another Good Deed

Your story about Ralph
Solomon, "the kindly me-
chanic" (The Star, July 2O,
calls to mind an experience
I had on a Virginia highway
which I have set down in
the form of a parable to use
each time I give a sermon on
the Good Samaritan" I
call it THE Good Louisi-
anan."
One rainy evening in the
fall shortly after dusk on
the road between Washing
ton and Richmond a car full
of Campfire Girls from a
Negro congregation of the
Episcopal Diocese of Wash
ington had hardly reached
Shirley highway when a tire
went flat.
Many passersby slowed
their speed or raised their
headlights to see what was
the trouble, but satisfied that
the tire was being replaced
they continued on their way.
But the downpour became
torrential, and the clergy
man who was serving as
chauffeur had great diff
Guilty in changing the tire.
After many more cars had
passed one driver stopped to
see what was amiss. An
Army officer from Louisiana
who was stationed at the
Pentagon, he lived in near
by Springfield and was just
returning from depositing
his son at Cub meeting.
Immediately he directed,
"All of you get into my car,
and We'll all go to camp!"
Soon his automobile laden
with 10 passengers arrived
in Prince william Forest.
The officer borrowed a jack
heavy enough to raise the
clergman's car from the
muck and mire, and return
ing to the scene of the dis
ablement changed the tire.
With a CHEEKY God bless
you, Reverend" he slipped
into the drivers seat of his
car and disappeared into the
night to retrieve his son
from the Cub pack.

@. How do placer deposits
OF gold get started in a
stream? Why are they some
times found on dry land?
C. L.
A. Placer deposits result
from accumulation of parti-
cles of metallic gold set free
by the crumbling or decom-
position of gold = bearing
rocks. The gold works its way
downward in stream beds,
accumulating in grains or
nuggets in stream placers.
and may be carried onward
to sea beaches. After forma-
ton, placers may be buried
by sediment or lava or the
stream may cut a new or
lower channel and leave the
deposits on dry land. A fall
in sea level may leave a
beach placer above the new
shore line.

Rockets for Arabs

What is so wrong in the
State Department granting
the Arabs permission to buy
rockets from us? No one
could convince me that Israel
would be in a position to fire
a rocket, or anything else for
that matter, were it not for
the millions of dollars and
other means of support pour
ing in from the United States.
My hat is off to the State
Department for trying to i'm
prove Arab-American rela-
tions. This is possible with
fair treatment to the Arabs.

Frances Cards

France, for its part, has q
certain number of cards in
its own hand. For one thing,
this is a singularly bad time
in the face of the crisis in
Berlin for a serious division
among the allies over Bizerte
or anything else. Up to this
point the French have been
far from pleased by what
they consider a lack Of sup
port from their NATO part
ners. To prevent any real
damage from being done the
greatest discretion by Brit
ain and the United States
will be advisable in the COM
ing battle of words.

national brigade to help fight
the French at Bizerte.
A few Jordanian or Mo-
roccan troops might be no
special problem. One can
h ardly imagine, however,
that Mr.. Bourguiba would
really welcome large numbers
of Egyptians in Tunisia,
while an offer OF Algerian
Nationalists to come to his
assistance could be fatal.
There are almost as many
Algerian troops in Tunisia as
there are in the whole Tuni-
sian army. Their interven-
ton at Bizerte would almost
certainly involve the French
army in Algeria and extend
the war to the entire coun-
try. And it also would put
Mr.. Bourguiba himself COM
pletely at the very untender
mercy of his Algerian guests.
= In the coming diplomatic
struggle, TuniSia's greatest
asset, no doubt, will be an at
titude of hostility toward any
intervention on the part of
the French government.
President de Gaulle's pro-
found diSdain of the q. NJ,
his adamant refusal to con-
slider the possibility of third
party mediation in the dis
pute and his seeming indif-
ference to world opinion"
are all strong weapons on
the TuniSian side.
Whether or not this will
make very much difference
in the outcome. however, is
another matter in which the
current peSsimism of the
French is perhaps exagger-
ated. Though Mr.. Bourguiba
may enjoy a certain propa-
ganda advantage and use it
for his own purposes. this
in itself is not likely to win
him the practical objectives
he seeks.
