BoIky Commuter

Now 1t comes out into the
open. We have the long
awaited answer to the ques-
ton, How can you get COM
muters to ride a subway or
rail line?"
I am informed that the
planning brains within the
National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency, headed by Mr..
Stolzenbach, have the solu-
ton. This agency's grandiose
scheme for solving all the
transportation problems Of
the Washington area will
have bus service leading into
the Nations Capital. But,
they viii disembark their
cargo at outlying subway and
rail stations from which Mr..
Commuter will continue his
journey into the downtown
area.
So, "how can you get COM
muters to ride a subway or
rail line?" You simply pile
them into buses and then
dump them at the subway or
rail station, giving them no
other alternative to get
downtown: forcing them, If
you please. into patronizing
the trolley line.
The routine Is ridiculous.
You leave home and wend
your way to the nearest bus
stop. You board the bus for
a subway or rail station, get
off, and board the rail line
for q downtown stop. Then
you walk or grab a cab to
your office. And you repeat
the process at the end Of the
day.
No, thank you. Mr.. Stol-
zenbachl P. Y. X. HOwat.

Youth Corps for US.

I have been reading a great
deal about the Peace Corps
and our young people who
are serving our country
abroad. why couldn't we
have an American Youth
Corps at home, with chapters
in high schools where teen
ayers could work for improve
ment Of themselves and for
the betterment Of our own
community?
After all. before we can sell
ourselves abroad, we must
become better citizens our
selves.

Common Market

Since Premier Khrushchev
and his Communist allies
have developed a good sized
headache over the success of
the European common mar
ket, 1t might be good busi-
ness for the United States to
seriously consider becoming a
part of this group.
We would have q twofold
purpose in joining. In addi-
ton to the problems for Mr..
Khrushchev, we should take
into account the long-range
economical and political
benefits from such an asso-
citation.

grain region in the world.
The amply stored Dutch
barns in Middle Pennsylvania
present an idea peculiarly
propitious to the success Of
a great military movement.
Our generals need not be
very scrupulous in appro-
priating the treasures S of
these Dutch barns. The abo-
lition Congress itself has de-
clared that the armies en-
gagged in this war must sub
sist off the country which
they invade. Considering
all the contingencies of the
war, we cannot avoid con-
cluding that the future prog
reSs of our army now in
Maryland must be as pros
porous as its past" At the
time these Richmond papers
reached Washington, how
ever, Lees army was in the
area Of winchester and
Bunker Hill, being given a
much-needed rest while the
general busted himself re-
cruiting and drilling new
troops. The Star Of October
l, 1862, reported: 50. +. Since
his retreat into Virginia, Lee
has undoubtedly received re-
Inducements to the extent of
between 10000 and 10000
men, all conscripts, with very
few exceptions. Lee is still
conscripting the country
around him with remorseless
energy, seizing all under As
who fall within his reach;
taking citizens walking in the
streets, accompanied by their
wives and children. The pres
ence Of troops so obtained

sensed victory and want
ed action. McC cClellan's days as

BowIes-Lone Debate

At last Chester Bowles, as
representative of the faction
currently IN power. has out
lined for us precisely what
our Government is trying to
accomplish in foreign affairs.
Many of US have certainly
wondered.
He tells US. for instance,
that we should not support
willy-nilly any government
that agrees with our view of
world affairs" No? Then
what do we expect to gain by
opposing our friends and sup
porting willy nilly" those
who disagree with us, which
seems to be the present un-
failing practice? At least we
know now that this weird
concept is, indeed, an Off
cial policy" and not the re-
suit Of an outbreak Of en-
demic idiocy among those
who act-supposedly--in our
behalf, If that's any comfort.
But the most completely
frightening picture drawn by
Mr.. Bowles is that of watt
ing patiently for the people
Of Cuba to free themselves
from communism unaided.
Where is the precedentP Sure
ly, surely, he must realize
unless he Is utterly blinded
by wishful thinking = that
this viii happen when Mr..
Khrushchev's shrimp learns
to whistle. The Reds are
masters at forestalling and
crushing nter-revolution.
They learn by experience, q
fundamental index to intelli-
gence where our own mark is
zero"
Evidently this entire, In
sane course is dictated by
fear Of censure by the United
Nations. Sir, the support"
Of the U. N. Is about as de-
pendable as that Of tissue
paper stills, and its censure
as much to be dreaded as the
rage Of q rabbit.
No. Mr.. Bowles, If your
speech was intended to reas-
sure us, you have failed. Now
we are really upset!
Eleanor M. Smith.
The Bowles-Lane debate on
Stopping the Communists
was q superlative presenta-
ton Of a vital issue. I con-
gratulate The Star for its
public service.
Gen. Lanes presentation
reflects one Of the keenest
minds In this country. Such
advice will have to be fol-
lowed If we are to survive as
a free nation.
Chester Bowles' words
sound plausible. His thinking
however, is perhaps epito-
mized in his statement,
"Soooner or later the Cuban
people will regain their inde-
pendence." A few years age
such words were used in ref
erence to Czechoslovakia,
then Hungary, etc. The Bet
ter Red than Dead" advo-
Gates are even now saying
these words to us. Those who
understand the value of free

them or Mr.. Bowles.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Foot Toward Heaven
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

For those who have eyes
to see, the most significant
and exciting thing which has
been coming to pass these
past months in the Nations
Capital has not had its set
ting under the Capitol's white
dome or at the White House.
It is not connected with any
governmental building. 1t is
the gradual lifting up above
the tumult Of a world city
of q cathedral tower. Years
ago multitudes Of people we're
reading q church story with
the title, zone Foot In
Heaven" With its daily new
chapter, the Washington
story might be called, "One
Foot Toward Heaven. For
after more than q half CEN
tury of building and waiting
for dreams to come true, the
massive central tower of the
Cathedral of st. Peter and
st. Paul is climbing skyward
at the rate of a foot every
"a hours. This process will
continue until, vying with
the Washington Monument
in its spectacular sky-leap-
ing achievement, the Gloria
in Excelsis Tower with its
lofty crowning pinnacles will
dominate the Washington
skyline, and will be an i'm
posing witness to the Chris
tian faith which girds the
republic.
The late Senator George
Wharton Pepper, whose life
was twined with the growing
edifice on Mount st. Adams,
has left this ringing testi-
mony, ''I yield to no man in
my loyalty to my country,
or my respect for the Gov
ernment of the United States,
but I say to you, with all
the intensity Of deep con-
viction, that if the United
States of America survives it
will be because of the sur
vival of truth for which
Washington Cathedra a /
stands" That striking con-
fession Of faith reminds US
Of Heine's declaration, I'VE
moderns have opinions. It
takes something more than
an opinion to build q Gothic
cathedral"
A New York columnist who
was read by millions and who
was no churchman, shortly
before his death, writing on
cathedrals had this comment
to make, "I have watched
cultured men at Rheims,
Rouen, and Chartres. Invari-
ably they tiptoe inside, slip
into some pew, and lese
themselves In revery. In
reality they are clutching the
hem of some thought-swell-
ing reverences that skirt the
enormity Of eternity" What
he was saying is that in the
cathedral they were finding
the cathedral within.
A believing America, turn
ing from all the false lights
of secularism, must have its
cathedrals and is achieving
them. The Washington
House Of Prayer for All
People," whose majestic GEN.
tral tower is one foot nearer
its coronation than yester-
day, speaks to this bewildered
time with q potent voice
which will be heard by un-
told millions in increasing
volume as, across the years
ahead, the people of America

The office suggestion box"
made its first appearance in
the departments Of the Fed
eral Government so years
ago, with the incentive that
good ideas that would save
Uncle Sam money were worth
cash to their originators. The
Star of September 20, 1912,
reported that the scheme to
award cash prizes to Govern
ment employees who offered
time or rnoney-saving ideas
worthy of adoption was the
conception of Brig. Gen. viii
liam Crozier. chief Of ord
nance, United States Army,
who was himself an inven-
tor of valuable devices given
to the Government. Gen.
Crozier's plan met with the
approval of Secretary of War
Stimson, who persuaded Con-
gress to approve it. It was
decided to give an employe
10 per cent of the amount
an idea might save the Gov
ernment in a year, with the
top limit being $1,000. For
example, If a Federal worker
suggested a plan whereby the
Government would save ST.
900 a year, he would be paid
$700 for the idea.

Comparing these memories
with her impressions OF the
Johnsons' recent trip to the

Johnson asserted: II think
1t is well for the American
abroad to remember that 1t

there were open sewers in
some of our streets. Indeed,
when we we're an UNDER

Those two vital ingredi-
ents, natural resources and
the catalyst of enlightened

American Footprints
She recalled that Ambas-
sador Kenneth Galbraith
once said that when he trav-
eled abroad he didn't want to
see "the footprints Of the
ugly American, or the snowy
American; what I want to
see is the footprints of the
normal American"

Reform Underway
Giving general impressions
of those countries she visited,
she noted: Social reform is
underway-and, I'm glad to
say, with the great impetus
of women. Certainly. there is
no better stopwatch on the
Soviet than wiping out pow
erty, disease. ignorance. The
great zest for learning and
doing is in the air"
AS she looks back on her
trip, Mrs. johnson said she
saw the countries Of the Mid
die East "as Phoenix lands,
bright with the fires of their
own renaissance. And ! be-
lieve the light they give forth
