dents to enter the medical field. The
council has been quite successful in
achieving both detectives.
Established IS years ago and fl
anced with private funds, the council
has aided many communities, especially
in rural areas, to obtain physicians and
surgeons. The drive to enlist more
young people in health professions,
from doctor to that of hospital admin
iStrator, was begun more recently, with
y grant from Paul Melons Old Domin-
ion Foundation. Representatives of the
council appear before many groups of
students and cite the opportunities
which lie before those who enter the
health field. The response has been
surprisingly rewarding. The council
deserves widespread public support in
its very worthwhile program.

Boost to Hospitals

Health, Education and Welfare
Secretary Ribicoff's proposal to relieve
the District of the burden of reim-
bursting the Treasury for third of
the Federal grants for private hospital
construction in Washington is realistic
and fair. The new financing formula,
If approved by CongreSs-as we hope it
will be-will remove restraints which
had resulted from the Districts budg-
etary problems. Under the plan the
Federal Government would pay half the
cost of new hospital facilities here-a
recognition of the fact that a major
percentage of patients in local private
hospitals are not District residents.
The other half of construction costs
would come from private sources.
Secretary Ribicoff informed Con-
greSS that he feels that the Federal
Government should pick up the tab for
half the cost of hospital projects
because of the special relationship
between the Federal and District Gov
ernmentS." He referred to the city's
status as seat of the National Govern
ment and the fact that local hospitals
must be ready to serve the entire Met
ropolitan Area. He said the old Hospital
Center Act, under which the Washing
ton Hospital Center and other local
hospitals have received Federal and
District aid, has outlived it's usefulness.
First hospital to benefit from the
proposed plan would be George Wash
ington, which is preparing to build an
addition. Under bill suggested by
HEW, the Government would pay $2.5
million toward the cost of the addition.
This proposal undoubtedly will be
welcomed by the District Commissioners,
who have been concerned about the
Sl7.8 million the District already owes
the Treasury under the Hospital Center
Act. The prospect of further increases
in this debt had diSmayed District
officials. The new financing program
would tend to promote more hospital
construction to meet the constantly
growing needs of the Metropolitan Area

1t 'Ain't' Good

The Merriam Webster unabridged
dictionary, in its first completely new
edition since 1884, contains a number
of startling reviSions. They are revi-
SionS likely to shock more than a few
Of US who happen, for better or worse,
to be traditionaliStS congenitally OPP
posed to change just for changes sake
In that respect, perhaps the most shock
ing thing in the whole book is that it
takes rather respectful view of "aint"
as word that is now used orally in
the U. S. by cultivated speakers"
This is certainly far cry from the
dictionary's 1884 edition, which bluntly
and correctly, in our view brands
"ain't" as "dialectal" and "illiterate"
expression employed by people on the
fringeS of polite society. But now, along
with lot of other vulgarisms that have
become respectable, this basically I'M
pleasant, unnecessary and dramatically
gauche word has been more or less
legitimatized by the Merriam Webster
people.
Alas, how unStern and almost I'M
scholarly scholarship seems to have
become. Small wonder that our Eng
disappearing world, when it thus toler-
ateS the debaSement of its language, is
having trouble with creatures like
beatniks-not to mention Nikita Khru-
ShChev and his kind-who are develop
ing style of writing that may best be
described as literary anarchy, to use
polite word.

Determined Chairman

Roger l.. Stevens, newly appointed
by President Kennedy as chairman of
the National Cultural Center, says that
the one thing can be proud of is that
l finish what 1 start"
That is an admirable attitude, and
one which will be sorely tested by his
latest endeavor. For few projects in the
history of the Nations Capital have
proved as frustrating as the effort to
give substance to the dream of a
National Cultural Center-a task to
which good many other talented and
dedicated citizens in the past have not
been equal
In his capacity as chairman, Mr..
Stevens faces two primary chores. First,
he must determine whether to proceed
with the construction of the center in
stages, recommendation made by the
trustees last fall which seems wise
Then he must develop and launch a
drive to raise the necessary funds-$30
million to complete the initial phase
Again, we believe there is good sense in
the proposal to approach this all
important program through appeals
first to the largest of the Nations
foundations and other philanthropic
organizations. AS well-known patron
of the arts and as sound businessman,
eminently successful in wide range of
activities, Mr. Stevens appears to be
good choice both to develop a sound,
workable program and, more i'm
portantly, to inStill an ideal which never
yet has truly caught fire: Cultural
Center to meet long-neglected ma
tional purpose which is not now being
served anywhere.

and safety first and whose
favorite seat in any contest
is the fence? Such persons
aim to please all sides by not
taking sides. They seem to
choose the permanent role of
being an inquiring neutral.
This is true even with re-
gard to the titanic global
struggle now going on be-
tween decency and deviltry,
between honesty and CHI
canery, between freedom and
slavery. and between a loving
God and blind force. Such
neutrality is the gateway
through which the Trojan
horse of destruction enters
into the City of Compromise.
The shame of a neutral
may be branded upon the
brow even of those who
are catalogued by the COM
munity as good. To be really
good is to be good for some
thing. Genuine goodness al
ways possesses a sword-and
there are times when the
sword is unsheathed and
grasped by a hand unafraid.
1t has been truly said that
by superior energies, and by
firmer faith in their unhal-
lowed detectives, the bad
often win over the weak and
vacillating.
In a day like this, above all
else. we need those with con-
victions who go valiantly as
far down the road of faith
as did the three young men
facing the fiery furnace and
who said with its hot breath
Scorching their faces. Our
God whom we serve Is able
to deliver U.S." Then comes
those Steel-ribbed words, But
If Not"-still they would
make no detour. Here then
is the conclusion of the whole
matter. The fact is that it is
shameful to be neutral about
the vital issues of life, broad
minded about all creeds
but committed to none, agree
able for safety's sake to COM
promise with evil, liberal
about all ideas by holding no
personal convictions which
are not for sale and which
like Steeples point to the sky.
Yes" says one, that is
all very high sounding, but
after all a man or a country
must live" All, that is the
shame of the neutral!
But is it so? Pray tell me

Life at such cost you haze

In tUhdt religion Were you
told man must hUe?
There are times tUhen a

Southern Army. The general
issued the following procla-
nation: I have come among
you not as an enemy, but AS
your friend and fellow-citi-
zen, not to injure and annoy
you, but to respect, defend
and enforce the rights of all
loyal citizens. The enemy is
in rebellion against our COM
mon government. He has
taken possession of and
planted his guns upon the
sell of Kentucky and fired
upon our flag. Columbus and
Hickman are in his hands
and he is moving upon your
city. I am here to defend you
against this enemy, to assist,
to maintain the authority and
security of your government.
.. When you are able to de-
fend yourselves and maintain
the authority of your govern
ment and protect the rights
of loyal citizens, shall with
draw the forces under my
command. >" In this
venture Grant drew a repri-
mand for having telegraphed
the Kentucky Legislature be-
fore leaving Cairo, inform
ing that body that the Con-
federate Army had invaded
the State. His launching of
his mission before Fremont
could approve or disapprove
was illustrative of how he de-
tested red tape. Later Lincoln
would say of him that he
was the sort who got things
done. On September 10, 1861,
this paper reported Gen.
Leonidas Polk, whose Confed-
crate forces occupied Column
bus and Hickman, had pro-
posed that both sides with
draw from Kentucky and re-
Spect the States neutrality.
Two days later, The Star said
the Kentucky House had
adopted a resolution directing
the Confederate troops to
move out, but throttling a

mand on the Union Army.

into an aerial act largely
dominated by the Army. The

10 miles, but rough air made
the flight around 1875 miles.
Rodgers flew it in 4 hours, 20
minutes. The account said:
When word was received in
Baltimore that 1t. Rodgers
was on his way to his old
home through the air, the
streets, hilltops and railroad
entertainments were crowded
with people, and a great
shout arose as the naval Off

let's give them a new line.
Why not have them say

1t is we'll known every
where that a seated person
can drink more alcoholic
beverages without showing

tionS in the District of Co.

who are under the influence

they are obnoxious, pugnaci-
Gus, argumentative or unable

Vertical DRINKING

The furry of comment
concerning the proposal to
permit vertical drinking in
ashington bars and
lounges displays views and
positions which are unten-
able to say the least.
The richards of the old
Anti-Saloon League and Pro-
hibition Party seem to be
responsible for most of the
ore v ailing confusion. Ma
tional prohibition of alcoholic
liquors was voted out of eff
feet more than Is years ago.
The present D. C. regulation
prohibiting stand up"
drinking was adopted at that
time as a result of the repeal
of the Federal Prohibition
Law. Since that time the
D. {. regulation has been
the laughing stock of the
rest of the country, as we'll
as a constant and strong
irritant of visitors to Wash
ington. Furthermore, the
District of Columbia is
penned in on all sides by
Virginia and Maryland,
which States do not have
similar ridiculous regulations.
The letter of mfr. Com
mon Sense. appearing in
your columns September 81,
is about as far off base as
the D. C. regulation. He
states: II repeal of the D. C.
regulation will mean the re-
turn of the old-time saloon

aspects, D the standee at

Steinmetz Right

Reports coming from the
African nations indicate that
the principal reason that
Russia has not been able to
make much Roadway with
them is that the people of
these nations refuse to go
along with a theory which
makes no secret of the fact
that it intends to drive the
idea of God out of the hearts
and minds of the peoples of
the earth, if it can do so.
This reminds us that when
Russia first sought to build
up communism in the United
States, they counted heavily
upon the belief that the
colored people of this country
would be quick to seize upon
communism as a way to adj
vance their political aims.
However, the word wenG back
to Moscow that the colored
people of the United States
would not go along with any
theory of government which
sought to drive God out of
the lives of men.
Steinmetz, known as the
Wizard of Schenectady,
was asked what, in his opin-
ion, would constitute the
greatest advance during the
next so years. His questioner
probably expected him to
say that electronics or the
atomic field would constitute
the path of greatest devel-
opment. His surprising an
swer was that the greatest
development in the next so
years would be in the field
of religion.
Man has been brought up
to look upon himself as a
chunk of matter separate
from the creative force which
put him here, with the re-
suit that the hospitals are
filled with people having no
tangible organic disease. but
who suffer from all sorts of
psychosomamtic aim e n t S
which are the product of
worry and fear. Now it ap-
pears that Steinmetz was
right, and if the promised
religious advance teaches
people that they are spiritual
entities and that the power
which created them is avail
able to them, then Russia
will find few to follow her
lead in trying to destroy
mems faith in God. Mr..
KhruShchev will find that
when he took on God as an
antagonist, he overreached
himself.

100 Years Ago

A brand-new general who
didn't even have a uniform
when he reported for duty,
broke into print with a bang
a century ago. He was Ulys-
ses Simpson Grant. The &C.

Valley. In August. 1861, Pres
ident Lincoln had to find
more brigadier generals to

Army. He asked members Of
Congress to suggest some
candidates and Grants name
was among those proposed.
Grant. then a colonel COM

He was assigned to Maj. Gen.
John C. Fremont, who was
running things in Missouri.

win control Of the Mississippi
Valley. He put Grant in

souri,. Grant wore multi
when he reported to Cairo on
September 4, 1861, because he

his brigadier's blues had not

North and South wanted

zens we're divided in their

to place cannon on the Co.

unless forbidden to do so.
He took off before getting a
reply. The Star reported on
September 7 1861: Cairo
Sept. 6: Gen. Grant, with
two regiments of infantry and
a company of light artillery
and two gunboats, took pos
session of Paducah, KY. He
found secession flags flying
in different parts Of the town,
in expectation of greeting
the arrival of the Southern
Army, which was reported to
be $500 strong. and only Is
miles distant. The loyal citi-
zens tore down the secession
flags on the arrival of our
troops. Gen. Grant took pos
