decision to print unlimited
quantities" of the inverted
Dag HammarSkjold stamp
seems to be par for the course
for this administration. Don't
stop at one error: jump in
there and deliberately multi
ply the errors. I think Mr..

phony.

The Post Office Depart
ment, under authority grant,
ed by the New Frontier, an
nounced that the country
would be flooded with upside
down Dag Hammarskjold
commemorative stamps to
undercut the inflated value"
of a few hundred sold by
mistake. the announcement
came after disclosure that at
least 400 Of the original 100
million stamps in the issue
were run through a color
overlay press upside down.
Because of modern preci-
sion equipment, it has been
decades since the Govern
ment actually issued even a
few hundred freak" stamps.
Imagine the excitement the
mistake" caused in phila-
telic circles and imagine the
letdown when philatelists
learned that these stamps will
be worth exactly 4 cents and,
in time, perhaps, inflated in
value to 10 cents.
I am not a stamp collector,
but I Strenuously object to
any such h-handed deci-
sion decreeing that no citi-
zen will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to capitalize on a rare
boo-boo committed by postal
authorities. The economic
structure of our democratic
government is based on cap
italism. This is not a coun-
try or a government based
on share -the-wealth" dog
ma, and I hope that phila-
telist societies as we'll as the
public in general will protest
to New Frontier officials re-
sponsible for this "commu-
nistic" trick.

THE field is the world" 1t
has taken 1000 years for
most of His alleged followers
to see the implications of
those five earth-stretching
words. Narrow fences have
done much to turn profeSSed
loyalties into fanaticism. A
splendid loyalty is not
ruined, it is glorified by being
captured by a larger spiritual
loyalty. National loyalty will
not be hurt by going beyond
parochial and provincial
fences to genuine attempts
at international concord and
cooperation.
This is not a plea for what
is sometimes called "a one
world state" The present
pack of aggressive wolves
loose in the world who guard.
their own fences but do not
respect the fences Of others
must first be liquidated be-
fore the barbed-wire fences
guarding decency can safely
be torn down.
However, proceeding with
all caution, the federation of
the world that modern tech
nology and the humiliation
of time and space have
shrunk to a neighborhood is
the only thing that can make
nationaliSm really great. The
fundamental fact is that hui
manity is one. 1t is only by
the common life that patriot
ism can be cleanSed from
ignoble strife and mean am
billions and washed pure from
hatred and malignancy.
When the shoemaker Carey
in Scotland, with a map of
the world in his lowly shop
and under it his Masters
words, THE field is the
world" undertook to go be-
yond the national fences
with the Gospel message,
Parliament passed a resolu-
ton calling him a lunatic.
But Carey's faith kept sing
ing in his heart, and the
modern missionary movement
was born.
The church, now ashamed
of its dividing fences, is try
ing as never before to be big
enough for the world. The
trouble has been with our
fenced-in churches that they
have not been big enough
for God. There is a world of
truth in a sentence used by
a great farm expert who in
an address used these
phrases, "Those crude,
Grabbed fences, horse-high,
bull-strong, hog tight and
manproof, mark Enclosures
within which one might hide
and be relieved of outside
obligation" Inside a fence is
a cemetery outside is a rich
and enriching harvest.

SPIRES or THE SPIRIT
On Being Fenced In
BY DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain of the United States Senate

The words came loud and
clear in a radio program,
Don't fence me in" 1t is a
song which epitomizes the
growing demand of humans
under all skies. They are cry
ing out vehemently for the
abundance and comfort which
other parts of the world en-
joy. The desire to escape from
the limitations, from the fet-
tiers, from the scarcity, from
the sheer misery of the part
of the earth in which they
happen to have been born is
the ferment of what we are
calling the world revolution.
This revolution is largely the
harvest of the seeds of de-
mocracy and Christianity. The
Communist conspiracy, which
puts up more fences to hedge
in the individual than any
other social system, as it
hoverS like vultures over the
misery of the underprivileged,
tells those demanding better
things that all they have to
do is to break down the fences
selfish capitalism has erected,
and a whole new world of a
CLASHES Utopia is theirs. Mil
lions who once accepted that
false gospel know now what
a mockery it is. No wonder
that our American poet Frost,
when he recently had a
chance to recite some of his
own poetry to the leader of
the Kremlin. quoted: In hui
mans, something there is
that does not love a wall"
Some day the cry will be
raised behind the iron cur
tain, Take down the fences;
don't fence me in" Then
that great people will proceed
to join the rest of the hui
man race, as together they
push on to a common, uni
versal goal.
The first and last command
in the fulfillment of an in
dividual human life is, Take
down the fences" The one
prayer to be answered If a
man is to reach his innate
possibilities is, Don't fence
me in" To find himself every
man must go on to something
outside himself. What phrases
they are of Sam Walter FoSs,
There are hermit souls that
live withdrawn in the place
of their Self-content.
Hermit souls live, or rath-
er, exist, back of a series of
fences. In 1860 a man in
Maryland said, Il am firstly
a citizen of Hartford County;
secondly, a citizen Of Mary
land; thirdly, a citizen of the
United States" He was look
ing at the world through the
pickets of fences he had
erected near his own back
door. His sense of Christian
responsibility begins at the
other end of Hartford Coun-
ty. When we pray to the
Father of all men. Thy
Kingdom come" we are say
ing. Don't fence me in"
John Wesley, whose spirit
ual descendants in the United
States alone number many
millions, had caught the
fenceless vision when in the
midst of his indefatigable
tolls in England he declared,
1.-The world is my parish" A
Christian who is not inter-
national in scope has never
known the Master, who says,

100 Years Ago

The first step taken by
Gen. Ambrose Burnside, as
new commander of the Army
of the Potomac, was in the
wrong direction - towar d
Fredericksburg, where cruel
defeat awaited him. McClel-
lan's strategy, abandoned
when he was relieved of COM
mand, was to cut between
Culpeper where Lee was)
and the village of Washing
ton, Va, proceed south of the
Rappahannock and then take
Fredericksburg. This would
have given Mcclellan two
routes to Richmond: By wa
ter to Harrison's Landing on
the James, or by rail through
Hanover. Burnside elected to
swing east for Fredericks-
burg, which he hoped to take
by surprise. Much, if not ev-
erything, depended on his
getting pontoon bridges sent
down from Harpers Ferry
promptly to enable his army
to cross the Rappahannock
at Falmouth. This had to be
done before Lee could man
and fortify Fredericksburg.
Although President Lincoln
considered Burnside's plan
risky" it was permitted and
his progress was applauded
in The Star of November 10,
1862, in a dispatch from
Manassas Junction: by this
evening, Gen. Burnside will
doubtless have established
his headquarters in Freder-
ickSburg for the time being.
His advance probably took
possession of that town yes
terday evening. The transfer
of his base of supplies, Incl
dent to this splendid flank
movement of his army, has
certainly been admirably exc
cuted. The movement must
have taken the rebels entire
ly by surprise, as they I'M
doubtedly expected a direct
approach on GordonSville,
which they had prepared to
DE fend desperately at the
Rapidan. =. If Burnside
pushes right ahead he may
reach Hanover Junctio n
probably before they can
transfer sufficient of their
army to it to offer him seri-
Gus resistance there; thus
compelling them to fall back
nearer Richmond, risking the
main battle for the possess
sion of that city almost i'm
mediately under its fortifica-
tions, which its noncombat-
ant inhabitants will hardly
relish. !" Elsewhere in the
same edition The Star pre-
dicted: Burnside to Be in
Richmond in Ten Days. A
glance at any good map of
Virginia will show the reader
that the fine march made by
Burnside on Sunday NOV.

Beware of Bear

1t begins to appear that
President Kennedy, in his
negotiations" on Cuba with
Chairman Khrushchev has
emulated the hunter about
whom the following story is
told by Maury Hubbard of
the Virginia Farm Bureau
Federation:
The hunter raised his rifle
and took careful aim at a
large bear. When about to
pull the trigger, the bear
spoke in a soft and sooth-
ing voice:
Isn't it better to talk than
shoot? What do you want?
Let's negotiate the matter"
Lowering his rifle, the
hunter replied: II want a fur
coat"
Good" said the bear,
That's a negotiable question.
I only want a full stomach,
so, let's negotiate a compro-
mise"
They sat down to negotiate
and after a time the bear
walked away alone. The ne
gotiations had been success
full: The bear had a full
stomach. and the hunter had
his fur coat.
Isn't this the way our ne
gotiations are going on the
Cuban matter? The bear is
getting what he wants-a no.
invasion pledge. Are our lead
ers too blind to see that the
fur coat they're getting is no
bargain?
Glenn A. Green.
Is history repeating itself?
The Cuban missile removal,
with no inspection. just ships
apparently carrying the hard
ware back to Russia, looks
very much like a Trojan
Horse"
Let's not be like the Tro-
jams and celebrate the re-
treat of the enemy. But make
sure that he has really re-
moved those rockets.

FROM THE STAR FILES.
SO Years AGO

Motorists were entering
the age of reckless driving
so years ago and District po-
lice were starting to crack
down. The Star of November
Is, 1912, reported those "au-
tomobiliSts" who were caught
speeding at intersections or
around . corners henceforth

Police Court, instead Of being
allowed to post and forfeit

the story said, Ito drive or
propel a vehicle across in
tersecting streets at a rate OF
speed greater than eight
miles an hour, while in turn
ing at corners the limit is
six miles. 1t is proposed by
Major sylvester (police
chief that the bicycle force
from all the precincts be put
on duty in the business sec

ment of the regulations. :"

Monticello, the Virginia
home of Thomas jefferson,
was not a shrine so years
ago, but was owned by Rep
resentative jefferson M. Levy
of New York, who made it
his summer home. The Star
of November IL, 1912, said
Mr.. Levy had turned down
an offer of the United
Daughters of the Confeder-
acy to purchase Monticello.
Mr.. Levy pointed out that
no one, since 1879, has at
tempted to disturb his pri-
vate possession until a year
ago, when the present cam
paign for it's purchase be-
gan" He said the public
has free access to it and
he is as patriotic a custodian
as could be found" A spokes-
man for the Daughters of the
Confederacy said Mr.. Levy
had assured them they would
be given" the property when
he had finished its use"
n So
The era of miracle sur
gerry apparently was dawn
ing SO years ago, judging
from a front-page item in
The Star of November 7.

Martinez, of Chicago, was do

inal operation in which sur

dozen screws and a silver

Chicagoans as the human

Red Goal UNCHANGED

Now that the excitement
over the Cuban crisis has
abated and Khrushchev is
propagandizing his peaceful
coexistence line stronger
than ever, let us not drift
back into apathy and COM
placency. The ultimate goal
Of the international Commu-
mist conspiracy. worldwide
domination, has not changed
and never will, The contro-
verSy between the Chinese
and Russian leaders deals
with methods, not end re-
suits.
The Communist Manifesto
of November, 1860, states:
I'd Peaceful coexistence is
desirable as a stopgap only,
in that 1t gives time for the
Communist countries to grow
stronger. 90 War between
capitalist and socialist ma
lions is unavoidable unless
the capitalist nations sur
render peaceably to the So
cialist nations.
Has KhruShchev renowned
this manifesto? Have the
Communists called off the
use of wars of liberation"
in non Communist coun-
tries? Are the Reds diSband-
ing the Communist parties
in rs non-CommuniSt coun-
tries? Have they announced
plans to free one person or
one inch of territory they
now control? OF course not,
they never will.
Our unexpected strong &C
ton over the military build
up in Cuba caught them by
surprise; they will now pause
and push for coexistence
with the free world as they
have done each time we have
been firm. This does not
mean that the cold war is
moderating, or that the Com
munistS are changing and
have suddenly decided to
a BAN don their plans for
world domination.

issue OF calling the special
meeting or waiting until the
regular March meeting fol-
lowed presentation by DR.. Isaac
Franck, executive director of
the Jewish Community Council.
of his organizations point of
view.
On January S the Jewish
Community Council of greater
Washington issued a letter to
the President OF the District
of Columbia Board Of Educa-
ton and superintendent Of
nearby boards of education ask
ing that the practice of observ-
ing religious holiday events be
discontinued.
DR.. Franck told the gather
ing there were three basic rea-
sons why this problem should
be carefully examined. He de-
clared that it was a source Of
"divisiveness in the public
schools" He further said that
the inclusion of religious OBJ
servances in the schools did
a grace disservice to the SER
iousnesS and the earneStnesS
with which religion should be
taken"
DR.. Franck's third reason
was that such observances were
illegal and unconstitutional
and violate the First Amend
ment."
Explains Views
The speaker commended that
newspapers reporting the jan
uary S letter did not deal with
two paragraphs that admitted
the right of religion as basis
for discussion in public schools.
For example, classroom dis
cussion on such subjects as reli-
gious freedom, religious plural
ism in America, the fact that
different religions have differ
ent beliefs and observances,
and the need for mutual &C
ceptance and respect among
members of different religious
groups. can be experiences of
lasting value in many a class
ROOM" DR.. Frank declared.
He also noted that the other
paragraph said, THE public
schools may and should teach
with full objectivity the role
that religion has played in the
life of mankind and in the de-
velopment of society"
