sumably, too, they feel that Soviet
policy-with the United States shifting
from the Eisenhower to the Kennedy
administration should be less aggres-
sive and more circunspect than usual
during the period Of transition.
In any event, coupled with the re-
newal Of q similar agreement between
free Germany and the Soviet Union,
the continuation Of the trade pact
between the West Germans and East
Germans constitutes a temporary
guarantee of sorts against criSis-pro-
voking actions In and around Berlin,
which Is potentially one of the most
explosive points In the world. To that
extent, therefore, the world at large,
on both sides Of the Iron Curtain, has
reason to welcome the development
with certain sense Of relief.
Mr.. KhruShchev and his Cocoon

although the evil Of a crisis in that vital

We think James Roosevelt quite
rightly surmises, however, that his
father would not have liked the weird
modernism Of the winning Pedersen-
Tilney design which, equidistant be-
tween the Lincoln and Jefferson Me-
MORALS, is so jarringly out of keeping
with their classic loveliness. And F. D. r.

disappointed, as we are, that nothing
more than this has come forth to satisfy

A Scholar Returns

Lebanon as professor in the School

A former Minister and Ambassador
to the United States and once President
of the United Nations General Assembly,
DR.. Malik has earned a reputation as a
distinguished scholar.
The plans for DR.. Malik provide a
broad stage for his contribution locally.
Selected students from all universities
In the Washington area will attend his
lectures on the philosophical issues in
world politics, and he will conduct a
faculty seminar in the same field for
all universities of the area. This inter-
university arrangement Is an excellent
example Of cooperation in the field of
higher education, and the selection Of
DR.. Malik to carry 1t out Is fine one.

Berlin Respite

Il appears now that the Kremlin
is not planning to precipitate near
future crisis over Berlin. Chief evidence
of this is the fact that free West Ger
many and Communist East Germany
have agreed to renew THAR trade pact,
which involves an annual exchange Of
goods valued at about $500 million.
This pact has been subject to
serious strain ever since last September
80, when Chancellor Adenauer's Bonn
government announced plans to cancel
the undertaking-effective New Years
Day-unless the puppet East German
Red regime ended mounting pressures,
including travel restrictions, against
free Berlin. In response, that regime,
though dependent in large measure on
steel and other imports from West
Germany, threatened to retaliate with
counter-measures severe enough to
create grave new international tensions.
One Of these counter-measures, of
course, might well have been the quick
imposition Of another total blockade
designed to strangle free Berlin into sub
mission. But Premier Kfrushchev and
his colleagues In Moscow apparently have
decided against resorting to such a
drastic move at this time. Presumably
they are aware that 1t would involve the

FROM THE STAR FILES...
100 Years AGO

Withdrawal or Federal
troops from Fort Moultrie. in
Charleston Harbor. led to an
other vacancy in President
Buchanan's cabinet q century
ago. Secretary of War John
B. Floyd was shocked and
angered when he learned
Maj. Robert Anderson. acting
on his own authority. had
abandoned weakly garrisoned
Moultrie and used its men to
strengthen Fort Su m ter.
Floyd felt that this action
would provoke the new South
Carolina Commonwealth into
an armed clash with Union
forces. Prior to resigning. he
wrote Buchanan this letter
which The Star printed on
December 81, 1850: "It Is evi-
dent now from the actions of
the commander at Fort Moul-
trie that the solemn pledges
Of this Government (not to
disturb the status quo Of the
Charleston forts) have been
violated by Major Anderson.
In my judgment, but one
remedy is now left us by
which to vindicate our honor
and prevent civil war. It Is In
vain now to hope for conf
dences on the part of the
people Of South Carolina in
any further pledges as to the
action Of the military. One
remedy only is left and that
is to withdraw the garrison
from the harbor Of Charles
ton altogether. I hope the
President will allow me to
make that order at once. This
order, in my Judgment, can
alone prevent bloodshed and
civil war. :" President
Buchanan not only denied
Floyd's request, but instead
ordered reinforcements for
Mai. Anderson. After South
Carolina had left the Union,
Floyd had taken q determined
stand at cabinet meetings
against reinforcing Sumter,
arguing that it could only
lead to a fight. Floyd, q for
mer Virginia Governor, had
opposed secession, but when

time Of life. It is'a state Of
mind; it is not q matter Of
red lips and supple knees. It
is q tempo Of the will, a
quality Of the imagination.
It Is the freshness Of the deep
springs of life. You're as
young as your faith. as old as
your doubts; as young as
your hope and old as your
despair"
The story Is told Of o mis-
sionary in Africa who, re-
turning from England to his
field after q furlough, took
back with him q sun dial to
help the folks in the African
village tell the time Of day.
The natives were so full Of
wonder and reverence for the
object that while the mission
ary was absent at another
station they built q roof over
1t, to protect it from the sun
and rain. They knew not
that when they shut out the
light of a blazing world the
dial failed to register any
thing-it was meaningless.
And so clocks and calendars
In our advanced" civiliza-
ton are robbers Of life's chief
meaning II there falls upon
them no light from another
world.
Without q faith in spiritual
verities and an escape into
eternity, which gilds with
glory the most commonplace
task, figures on q dial are
but the symbols Of an exist
ence Of dimishing zest.' But
to write at the top Of a New
Years calendar. Enter God"
changes everything.
II we are permitted to stay
here during the IL months Of
1861, what will these added
days bring TO our inner life?
Where will the river Of this
year take US? For move we
must. We are dealing with q
stream-we cannot stay where
we are. We can't do that
physically-time marches on!
On this voyage down the
river of the years we need
always at hand q mirror and
a window. A searchlight
sweeping the circumference
Of the earth is no substitute
for q hand mirror. Like
charity. criticism should be-
gin at home. But to be shut
in with Q mirror leads to
spiritual suicide. It Is
through windows that we
glimpse vistas and heights as
with the years the shore line
changes.
Now this blessed trinity Of
q mirror, q window, and q
moving ship does not mean
that the externals Of life are
to be radically altered. It
does mean the glorification
Of the commonplace: for. as
Edna st. Vincent Millay
puts It:
Life goes on toreper like the
gndtDing OF a mouse.
And tomorrow, and toptorroio,
and tomorrow
There's this little street and
this little house.
But your little street" may

mo Misconduct

Concerning your Christ
mas Day editorial mo Mis-
conduct" I find fault with
the thinking Of the Maryland
Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty on the medical ethics
Of secrecy In doctor-patient
relations, Admittedly. not
everyone Is familiar with the
principles involved in pro-
fessional secrecy and the
case In the editorial would
seem to the average person
to constitute q dilemma.
The obligation Of profess
sional secrecy arises from the
necessity Of preserving the
common good Of society in
this sense, that this common
good would suffer serious
harm If people could not
consult others In their need
for competent help without
constant fear that their Sc
cret might be divulged. Since
the common good imposes
the obligation Of keeping q
professional secret. this OBJ
LEGATION naturally ceases
when that same common
good Of society is threatened
with serious harm by the
keeping Of the secret. It may
be argued that this Is pre-
cisely the case at hand-the
keeping Of the professional
secret here would have been
O threat to the security Of
our country. However. may
] point out for the consid.
Grafton Of the Maryland
Medical and Chirurgical Fac.
ulty and The Star:
(a) Detailed revelation OF
secret patient-doctor infor-
nation was made after the
detection was an accom-
plished fact.
(b) There was revelation
to proper Government au-
thority Of much more than
was necessary for security
purposes. The end result Of
the thinking Of the MM&CF
and The Star can be only to
seal the lips Of Government
employees who are honestly
seeking psychiatric help.
This can harm irreparably
the security Of the country.
Stretching the code Of medi-
cal ethics to the limit, the
most o doctor could do in q
similar case, and that before
any detection. would be to
contact the CIA and point
out that q patient Is mental
ly Ill and would bear in
creased watching or removal
from sensitive position.
(c) Worst Of all, the pa
TENTS secret information was
given to the whole public,
this being absolutely unnec-
essary for the protection Of
the country, and seriously
harmful to the common good.
This above all must be con-
demned as unethical and i'm
moral.

Delicate Diplomatic Role

There is combination Of both clarity
and righteousness In President-elect
Kennedy's plans for employment Of
Averell Hartman as a special ambas-
sador-at-large. This may be so because
the very nature Of the role is one that
can take exact shape only as needs and
assignments occur. At the same time,
It leaves room for speculation as to
whether Mr.. Hartman Is to be sort
Of 1alfway-to-the-summit represen-
tative Of the President who will outrank
the regular ambassadors wherever he
goes. A
In news conferences discussion
prior to naming Mr.. Hartman, Mr.. Ken
nedy emphasized that he was not,
thinking Of vesting in special envoy
the unusual power and influence possess
sed by Harry Hopkins during so much
Of the administration Of President
Franklin Roosevelt. He was likewise
SPECIFIC in saying that such an ambas-
sador would be "tied directly TO the
Secretary Of State"-which was not the
case with Mr.. Hopkins or with others
who have held a similar title in other
administrations. Some Of these operated
Independently or directly out Of the
White House.
It Is true, perhaps, that there are
occasions when special envoy with
qualifications particularly suited to some
unusual situation can take an extra
load on q resident ambassador. DR..
Philip c. JeSSup did this on several
occasions on assignment from Presi-
dent Truman, and Mr.. Kennedy has
cited the Jessup role as comparable to
what he has in mind for Mr.. Hartman.
There are ceremonial occasions, too,
when the presence Of q special repre-
sentative Of the President, with the
rank Of ambassador, may be interpreted
as according extra recognition by our
Government.
On the other hand, Mr.. Kennedy
has emphasized that he intends to seek
the best possible men, in or out Of the
career diplomatic service, for appoint
ment as ambassadors, and he repeatedly
will ask Congress to be more generous
In providing public funds to permit men
short Of private wealth to serve in i'm
portant, but expensive, posts. In such
case, the idea Of having an ambassador
at-large take over on occasions Of
greatest moment could remove some Of
the incentive for service by others Of
high qualifications.
AS an individual, Mr.. Hartman has
had wide experience both as q regular
ambassador and as special envoy. The
net effectiveness Of his service In this
case, however, will depend upon the
precise definition Of his duties in each
assignment and q careful coordination
Of his work with the State Department
and the ambassadors already in the field.

"'Big Ear to Probe Mystery.

your readers. This radio tele-

project with the vague-and
incorrect-statement. when
completed by the Naval

etc.
The Naval Research Lab
oratory employs some Of the
finest scientists in the world
to conceive and develop ideas
for advancing the technolog-
ical aspects Of Naval opera
tions. The big Ear" is the
outgrowth Of one such idea.
But once the idea has been
developed and approved, the
Naval Research Laboratory
refers the project to the
Bureau Of Yards and Docks
for construction. It is then
the responsibility of the Civil
Engineers Corps officers and
civilian engineers Of BuDocks
to provide the physical facil-
ity required. This is accom-
plished throug h contracts
with civilian firms which
perform their assignments
under the supervision Of CEC
officers.
Thus, at Sugar Grove, West
Virginia, the prime construc-
ton contractor is a Joint
venture of the Tidewater
Construction Company, Nor
folk. Va: the Peter Kiewet
Sons Of Omaha, Neb.; and
Peterson. Emerson, Comstock
Of Pittsburgh, Penn. Various
companies, Of which the
American Bridge Division Of
United States Steel Is one, are
performing specific parts Of
the job under subcontracts.
And a senior Civil Engineer
Corps officer who is assigned
as Officer-in-Ch Of Con-
struction is supervising the
work and is responsible for
its successful conclusion.
In this way the Bureau Of
Yards and Docks is able to
utilize the varied talents Of
many experienced specialists
both within and outside its
organization.
AS q result. the installation
scheduled to be turned over
to the Naval Research Lab
oratory for operation in 1864
will be the best that can be
devised by American ingenu-
ity at the lowest possible cost
to the taxpayer.
