Gen. Walker thinks he was

Senators who provoked the

Importance Of the hearings.
The determination of the
subcommittee to be scrupu-
lously fair was emphasized
when Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican of
Maine, moved that the sub
committee ask former Presi-
dent Truman for his views
since it first heard those of
former President Eisenhower.
Different as the two former

they both quelled the mill

have never seen significant
military service, and un-
consciously resent those who
have. Some of the right
wingers have seen such mil
itary service-sometimes dis
tinguished service-and so
think of themselves as even
more CALAMITY martial and
gung-ho than the profession
ais.
Either boil could be made
highly dangerous-even can
cerous-either by ham
handed and excessively
tough" treatment or by the
absence Of any treatment at
all.
The job Of calm, hygienic
surgery is being done by the
chairman of the investigat-
ing subcommittee, Senator
John Stennis Of Mississippi.
If Senator Stennis completes
the operation as wisely as he
has begun it, the country will
owe him much. 1t might also
begin to understand why it
is that the sort of tradition
minded, responsible and not
very partisan conservative
Southerner of whom he is so
typical is so literally indis-
pensable to this Nation in
times of root crisis.
For two deeply traditional
concerns are involved here.
One is constitutional Govern
ment. The necessity here is
to maintain the ancient con-
stitutional principle that the
military must always be I'M
der civil authority. The other
is the physical safety of the
United States in the cold war.
The necessity here is to turn
back those who would de-
grade and intellectually de-
stroy the military-to see to
it that proper military sub
ordination to civil authority
Evening star., 1962-01-24

Two national boils are in
process of careful, antiseptic
lancing in the Senate's in
vestigation of the "gagging"
of high military officers by
civilian superiors in the Pen
tagon.
The first boil results from
the violent -simplifica-
tions of far right-wingers.
These people lean to the be-
lief that if only an officer is
loudly anti Communist"
enough, no one has a right
to check his political actions,
however extreme those ac-
tions may be and even though
the restraining official is his
constitutional superior and
is himself thoroughly anti
Communist, too.
The far right-wingers be-
lieve that men in uniform
are likely to be more truly
committed against commun-
ism than are others, simply
by the fact of being military
professionals. Thus any CEN
sorship Of these officers by
civilian Superiors is regarded
as next door to crime against
the Republic.
The second boil results
from the violent -simpli-
fications of the far left-wing-
ers. These fellows incline to
the conviction that profess
sional military men are: l..
Witlessly determined to pro
woke" war. 2. Hostile to all
reform and to civil rights. /"
3. Not really liberal" in any
way at all-this, of course,
being the ultimate of all
crimes.
The far right-wingers, in
short, believe deep down that
military officers usually are
more patriotic than civilians
and that Notwithstanding
a Secretary Of Defense or a
PreSident-should really be
allowed to order them about
in their "anti-Communlst
crusades."
The far left-wingers, on
their side, really believe that
the military should be treated
as a hulking nuisance, like a
football left guard at a tea
party of Self-elected intellect
uals. and kept in a very low
place.

Judicious Start for Military Probe

made pointed inquiries after
he read in the newspapers
what Gen. Walker had been
saying to his troops in Ger
many.
Gen. Eisenhower permitted
himself some purple prose in
suggesting that the military
not be pushed behind an
American iron curtain" He
also spoke of a "spate of at
tacks upon the competence
and loyalty of the military"
From a Washington seat, it
appears the spate was coming
from right wing sources
against the competence and
loyalty Of the civilian chiefs
Of the Defense Department.
But in general, as with the
remarks of former Defense
Secretary Lovett and former
Chief of Staff Arleigh Burke,
the Eisenhower discussion
was philosophical. The sharp
est political blow was struck
by Mr.. Lovett who called at
tention to what was happen
ing in France and Algeria.
There will be dramatic mo-
ments in the Stennis hear
ings. When an inquiry deals
with genuine problems about
which many people feel
deeply, they are bound to
occur. Gen. Walker will have
his day III court, and it re-
mains to be seen what ef-
fective supporters can be
summoned to help him.
But the initial climate is
judicious. and it will not be
easy to change it.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Three hundred pages OF
Yobbledygook" on how the
ktp.nedy administration in
tends to operate, If it can, a
managed economy reminis-
cent of the 193os have been
submitted in a message to
Congress. Part of it is a
statement signed by the Pres
ident. and part of it is a re-
port to him by the Presi-
dents Council of Economic
Advisers.
The net of 1t all is that
the Executive branch Of the
Federal Government intends
to use its monetary powers,
it's controls of credit, its pub
lic-works appropriations and
its powers OF taxation to in
fluence the operations OF
American business. But not
the slightest measure Of re-
straint is to be exerted upon
labor union onopoies
which bring about initiation
and depreciate the dollars
purchasing power.
Congress has yet to concur
in the recommendations OF
the message, but there are
many powers already vested
in the Executive branch OF
the Government that can
make all the difference in
the world between having a
recession or depression and
having prosperity. Typical Of
the astigmatism Of the ad-
ministration is the following
excerpt from the Presidents
message:
when better plant and
equipment enable the labor
force to produce more in the
same number of hours. there
is more to share among all
the contributors to the pro-
ductive process-and this can
happen with no increase in
prices. Gains achieved in this
manner endure, while gains
achieved in one turn Of the
price-wage spiral vanish on
the next.
1.-THE Nation must rely on
the good sense and public
spirit of our business and
labor leaders to hold the line
on the price level in 1862. If
labor leaders do hold the line
industries will accept the
productivity benchmark as a
guide to wage objectives, and
if management in these in
dustries will practice equiva-

lent restraint in their price
decisions, the year ahead will
be a brilliant chapter in the
record of the responsible
exercise Of freedom"
But what is the "produc-
tivity be n C h mark? The
Presidents Council Of Eco
nomic Advisers, in the very
same report, puts it this way:
How is the public to judge
whether a particular wage
price decision is in the ma
tional interest? No simple
test exists, and it is not pos
sible to set out systematical-
ly all of the many considera-
tions which bear on such a
judgment. However, since
the question is Of prime i'm
portance to the strength and
progress Of the American
economy. it deserves wide
spread public discussion and
Qualification Of the issues.
What follows is intended as
a contribution to such a dis
cuSsion."
But what follows" is lin
tied in scope and significantly
omitS all reference to the ir-
responsibility of trade unions
and the monopoly power they
WELD through industry-wide
bargaining. Somehow, the
entire document, including
the Presidents part of it,
shows a timidity, If not a
fear, about dealing with the
touchy subject of union ex-
cesses. Instead, there is en-
phasis on management'S
tendency to increase prices
to absorb labor costs, as If
this were a sin.
Both the President and his
economic consultants, how
ever, would have been well
advised to study what hap
pened in New York a week
ago and take its lesson to
heart. The Star. in an editorial
last Sunday, called attention
to a fundamental weakness in
the economy when it said:
THE settlement of the
electrical workers strike in
New York City is a perfect
example Of what's wrong with
the construction industry in

Yule Riddle
Links Santa,
|Pawnshops

What is the connection be-
tween Santa Claus, the custom
of hanging up Christmas stock
ings, and a pawnbroker's sign
of three gold-colored balls7
A Scrooge might say that
the answer to the Yuletide riddle
is that Santa Claus would need
help from a pawnbroker, to pay
for filling all the stockings
but Scrooge would be wrong.
Both Christmas stockings and
pawnbrokers' signs are trad
itions that come from legends
about the first "Santa Claus"
st. Nicholas, bishop ofMyra,
in Asia Minor--according to the
Encyclopedia Americana.
This early Santa was known
far and wide for his generos
ity. And, SO the story goes, he
wanted to help a merchant who
had lost all his money and had
no way to provide dowries for
the marriages of his three
daughters.
Like Santa today, St. Nicho-
las wanted to be a generous
but secret giver. When the
oldest daughter was old enough
to marry. he went at night to
the merchants house, with a
bag of gold.
Some legends say he threw
it through the window, and
others that he threw it down
the chimney. At any rate, the
oldest daughter had her dowry
and was able to marry.
St. Nicholas repeated the pro-
cess for the second, and then the
third daughter. The third time,
the merchant watched to see who
brought the gold and told the
story of the good saints gen.
erosity.
According to legend. one bag
of gold fell into a stocking
hung up by the chimney to
dry, and thus began the Gus
tom of hanging up stockings to
be filled with gifts.

Just when the sending of
greeting cards first began is a
question that may never be

The Cole-Horsley card is
considered by many to be the

1t was designed in Britain in
l843 by John Calcott Horsley,
well-known artist of the per-
iod, for Sir Henry Cole, di-
rector of the Victoria and Al

Beasts and Birds Share i'm Yule Legends

In the lore and legends of
Christmas, the beasts of the
fields and the birds of the air
play their part - and appro-
priately so, for the Oldest and
holiest Christmas story of all
tells of shepherds with their
flocks - shepherds who went
TO seek and find a Holy Babe
lying In a manger.
Animals of the manger in
the time of Christ we're likely
to be the sheep and goats, cat
tie, horses, donkeys and pigs.
All of these figure in Yuletide
songs and stories - even the
pig, who has held the place of
honor at many a Christmas
feast.
Telling of the First Christ
mas Eve, the famous carol,
"Away in a Manger, says,
"The cattle we're lowing" and
religious paintings through the
ages have depicted both the
cattle and the other animals
in the manger, as we'll as the
flocks of the shepherds.
A
Feeding Birds
In Scandinavian countries
people place sheaves of grain
and bits of suet on trees and
rooftops, so birds can feast.
They Feast
Because an ancient tradition
holds that animals helped to
spread the glad tidings of the
birth of Christ, barnyard ami
mails in many countries are
still served a special supper on
Christmas Eve.

Cattle Speak
An old German legend has
it that cattle kneel in their
stalls at midnight on Christ
mas Eve. Then, for a moment,
they have the power of speech.
Other legends broaden this

Spanish legend, COW in the

Jesus to warm him.

DR.. Lazzarini : Robertson
found that both diseased and
normal tissues were able to
manufacture fat components
locally from this food supply.
He said this was normal, since
almost all cells must produce
fats as part Of their normal
life requirements.
Production Limited
But he noted that produc-
ton of new fat in the cells
was inhibited when he "bathed"
the test-tube tissues with con-
centrations Of radioactively
tagged fats normally carried IN
the bloodstream.
He noted also that the cells
from the diseased tissue alb
sorbed far more fat-at a faster
rate-than did the normal cells.
Presumably this was because
the diseased tissue was unable
to digest" or break down the
extracellular fat load as well
as normal tissues could. DR..
Lazzarini- Robertson said.
AS more and more fat is &C
quired, the cells degenerate into
"just bags of fat" the doctor
said. These fat droplets even
tually break open, releasing
more. fat to add to deposits
which in turn swamp nearby
