River to a little below Hart
ford, down to New Haven and
then down the coast to New
York. This was the oldest Of
the three routes. The middle
route followed more or less
Of a straight line from Bos-
ton to Hartford where it
Joined the upper route. All
three routes ran together
from New Haven to New
York.
Mr.. Holbrook has been
over all three with great care,
and he reconstructs part Of
his trip for us. Here he talks
about a bit Of history, there
about the present state Of
this town or that, and oc-
casionally about someone
who had something to do
with the road or travelled it
on his way to fame and for
tune. One such was Louis
Sherry. No Partisan chef he,
but q native Vermonter. :.
who became one Of New York
City's most elegant and fam
GUS restaurateurs. :"
THREE ITEMS "That
made possible the settlement
Of the Great Plains" were all
produced along the Boston
Post Road. "The products
were: the Colts revolver, in.
vented and manufactured by
Samuel Colt of Hartford; the
barbed wire perfected and
patented by Joseph Farwen
Glidden, and manufactured
in Worcester; and the Halla-
day windmill, perfected and,
patented by young Daniel
Halliday. of South Coventry,
Connecticut"
Mr.. Holbrook ends with q
picture of the Capital Of the
United States in 1889. New
York honored the new Amer
ican Government by present.
ing 1t with the old city hall
which had been remodeled
into magnificent Federal Hall
by none other than Major
Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The
city had q population of 30,-
600 and even in those days
it was cosmopolitan place.
And before the year was
out, the first Vice-president
Of the United States was to
lease what was considered an
elegant country estate in
the Village Of Greenwich at
Varick and Charlton streets"
Mr.. Holbrook loves the
road and is learned in its
history. 1t would be hard for
a reader to avoid absorbing
some Of that history and
harder still to remain indif-
ferent to the old road.

Passes the Lie

An article by Allen Blakes-
lee entitled "U. 8. Children
Best in Tests Of Honesty"
which appeared in The Sun
day Star, September Is, dealt
with the findings Of Drs. Har-
old and Gladys Anderson Of
Michigan State University re-
garding the honesty Of chill
dren in the United States and
several foreign countries.
I find 1t difficult to under
stand why reputable news
papers like The Washington
Star and the New York Times
would print such specious
claptrap that reflects so un-
favorably on children in for
eign countries. DR.. Anderson
says that "truthfulness Is not
a trait - 1t is q way Of re-
lating to particular situa-
tionS." 1t is my understand
ing that truthfulness is a Vir-
tue and it is my firm convic-
tion that American children
do not possess a monopoly on
virtue. without the aid of any
silly statistics I feel supreme
ly confident in concluding
that the children of England,
Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Germany. Mexico, Brazil and
Puerto Rico are basically as
God-fearing and as honest
as their counterparts in the
United States including those
little cherry tree choppers in
Knoxville, Benton Harbor and
Cedar Rapids.
I believe it was Mark Twain
who once said that there were
three kinds Of lies - lies,
damn lies and statistics. I
have no objection whatever
to the Andersons amusing
themselves with their statis-
tics, but I have very strong
objections to their being
passed on to gullible readers
who will, doubtless, accept
them as further proof Of the
American super ego.
The honesty Of children in
several foreign countries has
been maligned and an apol-
ogy is in order.

I congratulate The Star
on George Sherman's series
of five articles on Brazil. An
admirable job, excellently
written and with an unusual
ly clear insight to the prob
lens at hand, Having spent
the last five years in Brazil,
I would like to say that he
hit more nails on the head in
these short articles than any
other I have had the oppor-
tunity to read.
His timing of the fifth and
final article with the APPS ar
ticle, Brazil Prime Minister
and Cabinet Walk Out"
(Brazilia September 14) was
uncanny.

THE World
De GouIIe Foes Invoke q Saint
BY CROSBY S. NOYEs
Forsisn Correspondent Of The Star

recognizes the legitimacy
Of what Is known as tyran-
nicide II certain conditions
and criteria are fulfilled ..
We secured the advice Of
eminent eccleSiastics. This
advice was that the required
conditions for tyrannicide
had been fulfilled In an over
abundant way"
This claim, needless to say,
has shocked q good many
other practicing Catholics
and has not gone unan-
swered by the church.
The first blast came from
the French Bureau Of Re
ligious Information" which
suggested among other things
that people like Bastien-
Thirty might do well to in
form themselves better on
the real teaching Of the
church" before presuming to
act upon 1t. Even q good
cause did not justify "intrin-
sically bad means"
The statement continued:
when one invokes the
right Of insurrection or calls !
for 'tyrannicide' (the church,
without denying this extreme
possibility is still more de-
manding and imposes COM
pletely exceptional conditions
which are by no means full
filled. ..."
st. Thomas Conditions
Since then these conditions
laid down by st. Thomas
have been spelled out by
other church authorities.
To Justify insurrection
against it, q government
must fail to supply Q mini
mum Of individual liberties.
All legal possibilities for
peaceful change must have
been exhausted. Insurrection
itself must lead to q positive
solution preferable to the
present government. It must
be viable and capable Of at
tracing the support of q
solid majority of the nation.
And finally the evils Of re-
course to violence must be
less than the evil Of sub
mitting to present injustice,
In the case Of tyrannicide,
st. Thomas lays down one
clinching condition. Execu-
ton Of the tyrant must be
the decision Of the commu-
nifty as q whole. Against
the tyranny Of the tyrant,"
wrote the learned saint, "it
is not the presumptuous
initiative Of individuals but
the public authority that
must take action"
On the whole, therefore, It =
would seem that st. Thomas
will make a better witness
for the prosecution in the
case Of Petit Clamart than
for the defense. Indeed, Bas-
tien-Thiry's lawyers already
are loudly complaining that
their client is being judged
by the church and condemn
ed without trial. The reac-
ton Of other church officials,
who suggest that perhaps,
after all, God is not on the
side Of the OAS, may. go q
long way toward clearing
away the deadly fog that has
clouded the vision Of these
supercharged patriots for too
long.

Parking Project

Buildings are going up fast
around Farragut Square.
Parking facilities are already
overcrowded and have been
for some time. It is incon-
ceivable to me that prepara-
tionS for building q public
parking facility under this
square are not in the works.
At a nominal fee this project
should pay for itself. The So
called parking barons would
not be too hurt since people
would be encouraged to again
venture into this area.

Thought for U.N.

It has been many years
since Socrates first intro
duced the idea of a forum for
discussion. 1t is interesting
to note that the United Ma
tions is designed on this
same principle. This year Mr..
U. Thant has disclosed his
hopes and ideals for this ses-
sion.
I suggest, that at the be-
ginning of each meeting the
members close their eyes for
one minute and mediate on
the business for the day.
This also is not a new meth
cd, but an effective approach
for clearing the mind for ac-
ton.

THE OLD POST ROAD, The
Story of the Boston Post
Road by Stewart H. Hol-
brook. Chapter headpieceS
by Larry Lurin. 273 pp.,
map. The American Trails
Series, edited by A. B.
Guthrie, jr., Vol. 2. CMc-
Graw-Hill Book Co., $6.95O
During the earliest years
Of what was to become the
United States, settlement and
commerce followed the wa
terways so closely that the
history Of these routes is very
nearly the history of Ameri-
can life itself. Long distance
roads came later, and i'm
portant as they were and are,
they were never arteries in
quite so literal a sense as were
the rivers.
The roads are difficult to
write about. Their history
must be excised from that of
the region they served and
it must not be damaged in
the process. The only alter
native is to become so in
volved with regional history
that one loses the path. This
is what happened to Jo-
nathan Daniels in his book
about the Natchez Trace
which was the first volume in
the American Trails Series.
The second book in the
series, Stewart H. Holbrook's
"The Old Post Road" is far
more successful. Though Mr..
Holbrook never seems to have
decided whether to be liter
airy, journalistic or colloquial,
he has had no trouble organ
izing the vast quantity Of
material at his disposal.
HE BEGINS WITH some
general history as it affected
the fortunes of the three
routes between Boston and
New York that were collec-
lively known as the Boston
Post Road. Riders and then
stage coaches carried mail;
indeed carrying the mail was
the riders function, while
mail contracts were as i'm
portant to stage coach lines
as they now are to airlines.
So the history Of the Post
Office affected the history Of
the road.
Stage coaches were made
by manufacturers and oper-
ated by stage lines. So there
is something about this in
dustry. Mail service by rider
began on the road in 1878.
The first coach line began in
1888 and the vehicles were
wagons rather than those
elegant conveyances which
have become so familiar
through the movies and TV.
Most people think Of the
Boston Post Road as q pre-
decessor of route U. s. /
between New York and Bos-

PARIS

PARlS
Thanks to the curious af-
finity Of the French for phi
losophy, the star witness at
the forthcoming trial Of
President de Gaulle's would
be asSassins may be none
other than the celebrated
18th century theologian, st.
Thomas Aquinas.
The way In which the good
saint entered the sordid case
Of the ambush at Petit Clam
art is q bit roundabout. 1t
happens. however. that st.
Thorn a s delivered himself
some TOO years ago Of an
opinion on the subject Of
tyrannicide-the murder Of
tyrants. And what he had to
say remains the official
Catholic doctrine today.
Leave aside for the mo-
ment the question Of whether
Gen. de Gaulle qualities as q
tyrant. The fact remains that
the teaching Of the church
has been cited as the opening
point for the defense in the
case. And II the argument
now raging In the French
press adds little either to po-
litical or theological dogma,
it Is stiIl revealing when it
comes to the state Of mind Of
those who have sought and
may seek again to kill the
president of France.
Jean Marie Bastien-T Thiry.
the renegade air force tech
nician with rank Of lieuten-
ant colonel and self-con-
fesSed mastermind Of the
August % plot. Is q typical
case in point. Like other
French officers before him.
Bastien- -Thiry claims very
loudly to be on the side Of
the angels throughout his
career of crime and terror
ism.
How often has one heard
in Algeria and elsewhere that
the French army was en-
gagged In q crusade whose
object was "the defense Of
Christian civilization" against
the goddess forces Of COM
munism? How often can one
hear In France today that
Gen. de Gaulle is the arch
traitor preparing "to sell out
his country to the Commu-
mist cause?
Goes to Great Lengths
All this and more is part
of the defense Of the assas-
sins Of Petit Clamart and
others who carry out the
murderous work Of the Sc
cret Army Organization. In
the case Of Bastien-Thiry
the effort to clothe himself in
the mystic mantle of &C.
clesiastic approval goes to
great lengths.
ION the moral level" he
told his inquisitors, II know
that our action will be dis
cusSed. We reflected q long
time about this aspect of the
question before committing
ourselves. Like my friend, De
la Tocnaye (another member
Of the plot) I am a practicing
Catholic. and our group was
partly formed Of practicing
Catholics like us.

year-old daughter, Anna Lynne,
who passed from this life to her
heavenly home. one year ago, April
8, 1861
l cannot say and | will not say.
That she is dead. she is just away
With CHEEKY smile, and a wave
of the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very
fair,
1t needs must be, since she fingers
there.
So think of her faring on, as dear,
In the love of there as the love of
here;
Think of her still as the same,
say,
She is not dead, she is just away.
SO very, very sadly missed by
her parents, sisters and brother.
