ITS A FUNNY THING .
how different subjects can pop
up when you're just sitting with
a bunch of cronies like / was
Monday night. We was just talk
ing about first one thing and
then another (including how nice
the young ladies were looking
that were saundering in and
out of the place) when one of
the good brothers started talk
ing about how he don't like to
go to church now as much as he
used to because half of the
time he can't understand what
the choir is singing about. He
said that there was a time when
he could go to his church and
just sit up there and enjoy the
music they sung before time for
the preacher to get up because
they was songs he knew and
everything and songs he could
join in singing along with the
choir. Now says this broth
er, at my church they're singing
them high-faluting anthems
with three or four people sing
ing high - and three or four
people singing low and all of EN-
singing about something nobody
understands but them and
half of them keep their heads
buried in them books like they
don't know what they singing
about either. He went on say
ing that every since they stop
ped picking out them old
Hines" out of the blue back
book in his church and started
using them little pieces of pa
per with one song on it there
amt been no singing to amount
to nothing in his church. He said
they hadn't sung "Rock of
Ages" in his church since World
War II say they just keep
singing all that stuff by some
fellow named "Boch" or Bait
holding" or something :. my
friend said "You know / don't
even believe them was Colored
cats that wrote them songs
cause they just don't sound like
US" He wound up by saying
that he wasn't going to stop
going out to his church every
Sunday just because of them
fancy" songs they was singing
but he shore would be glad
if every once and awhile they
threw in one of them good ole
numbers that they used to sing
when he really liked to go to
church just to hear the choir
sing.
TALK ABOUT EYES POP
PING When that cute little
teen-aged twosome switched
down Parish street near Hamil-
ton the other eve in their match
ing jackets and Capri pants ev-
erybody in the block got eye
strain trying to watch 'em with
out turning their heads E.
man-o-man tickled me.
SOME PEOPLE ARE TALK
ING about the conduct of
"some" of the baseball players
at the Sunday afternoon games.
Seems that one lady "spied" one
of the players taking a bit of
"refreshment" from a funny
looking bottle while the action
was at a lull on the field and
promptly took her little boy by
the hand and lead him home.

Original
Recipe Is
AWinner

That old proverb about
necessity being the mother Of
invention coupled with a
dash of imagination has paid
off for Lawrence M. Prescott,
a teaching fellow and gradu-
ate student In the Medical
School at George Washing
ton University. Last week his
original recipe for a meat loaf
won the District of Columbia
championship in the Mems
National Cooking Contest,
sponsored by the Potato Chip
Institute.
Up until a couple of years
ago the kitchen was foreign
territory as far as he was
concerned. Then his wife
came down with the flu and
1t was up to him to prepare
the meals.
I'D never so much as
boiled a cup of water before
that. I lived at home before
/ was married and never had
occasion to learn to cook"
says Mr.. Prescott.
He had watched his wife
make meat loaf so decided to
try his hand at it, substitute
ing potato chips and a can of
vegetable soup for some of the
ingredients. A few months ago
he happened to see the notice
of the potato chip contest in
a magazine. II decided to
send in my entry just to see
what would happen"
Mr.. Prescott admits he
wouldn't care for cooking as
a steady diet but likes to fill
in occasionally when the
mood hits him. He sticks to
the simple things and
favors dishes made with ham
burger because they're quick
and easy.
According to his theory
cooking is a sort of high
chemistry and If you follow
the rules things usually come
out right" His other hobbies
include music composition,
poetry writing and painting,
all for his own enjoyment.
His main interest is chemo-
therapy, a career he plans to
pursue.
If his recipe for savory
clipper loaf wins the South
ern Regional honors. he will
be awarded a week long, all
expenses-paid vacation for
two in Chicago at the end Of
the month. There the other
regional winners will compete
for the title of national
champion. The national win
ner will receive a $1,000 grand
award plus a second weeks
vacation for two.

Non-Portison Fiqht

Governor Tawes is expected to sign
a couple Of hundred bills into law to-
morrow, including, very possibly, the
iniquitous measure approved by the Legi-
stature to set up new congressional
districts in Maryland.
1t would be much better, OF course,
II Mr.. Tawes would veto this awful bill
Since II contains his own redistricting
scheme, however, that is unlikely. The
only practical recourse is for sufficient
number OF voters TO sign petitions which
would block the bills effectiveness until
Statewide referendum can be held on
1t in the 1864 general elections. For
tunately, the petition drive is all set TO
90. Now, however, there is some spec
ulation that the Governor might try TO
torpedo the petition drive by waiting
until Just before the June petition dead
line TO sign the bill
These suggestions are based on the
contention OF some officials land dis
puted by others) that the referendum
petitions cannot be printed until they
bear the official designation Of the signed
public law. II so, this is loophole In the

Matter of PrincipIe'

The refusal of two officials Of the
Philadelphia Bulletin to divulge certain
information to grand jury Or Judge
was not based, Of course, on any spirit
OF defiance Of the court, or for any pur-
pose Of obstructing law enforcement. On
the contrary, as their attorney stated,
theirs was position taken "as a mat
ter Of principle"
Generally speaking, in the absence
OF some local law to the contrary, a
newspaper cannot legally refuse to di-
vulge information demanded by court.
Pennsylvania, however, has a statute on
this subject which provides that news
papers shall not be required to disclose
sources Of information "in any legal pro-
ceeding, trial or investigation before any
court, grand jury, traverse or petty jury"
Thus, the legal issue, we suppose, is
whether the demands made on the Bull
letin officials amounted to requirement
that they divulge material which could
lead to the Identification of informants
who, under assurances of anonymity, had
given data to the paper which resulted
in articles exposing corruption in Phila-
delphia's City Hall.
Having ruled against the papers po-
sition, the trial Judge has imposed fines
and jail sentences on the two officials.
The officials, Of course, will appeal from
this ruling, and we hope the higher
courts will overturn the trial Judge.
There is much more involved here
than the relatively nominal fines and
jail sentences imposed on the two Bulle-
tin officials. What really is at stake is
the freedom Of newspaper, for the bene-
fit OF the public, to expose official cor
ruption In city which, to say the least,
has not been conspicuously free Of cor
ruption. We are aware that the trial
Judge said the news officials could edit
their material in order TO delete names
Of informants, with the exception of one
man who had been named in the ex-
posure stories. II is also safe to say,
however, that the identity Of an inform
ant might readily be ascertained from
information disclosed through release Of
a tape recording, for example, even
though the actual names had been
deleted.
We should also like TO say that the
Philadelphia Bulletin is a responsible
newspaper, edited by responsible men.
They are not in the business OF print
ing phony stories or impeding justice,
and we are glad that this contempt
conviction is being appealed.

State constitution which could be used
to cripple the referendum process, and
which should be closed.
But there is nothing to indicate that
Governor Tawes is leaning toward any
such action in the redistricting fight, or
to justify hySteria on that score at this
point. Only couple Of weeks have
elapsed since the end of the session.
And Attorney General Finan has not
used any Of several means available to
him to delay the bill on its way to the
Governor.
We think most of the opponents Of
the rediStricting bill are keeping their
heads and holding their tongues. The
charge oy Republican Newton I. Steers
that Democratic Governor Tawes is
guilty of Shocking negligence, If not
worse" in failing to have signed the bill
before this, is partisan gesture Singu-
larly out of consonance with the nom
partisan nature of the broadly based
referendum campaign.

Solidarity in Art

There was time when union boss
would have been hooted out Of the hall
for suggesting that what youse boids
need is to soak up some culture" One can
hear the answering roar: Millions for
the defense fund but not one cent for
Beethoven"
So times and scenes change and here
Is the AFL-CIOs Leo Perlis on a Nation
wide hookup exhorting the Is million
members to set up united arts fund"
fashioned after the United Givers Fund.
Maybe John L. Lewis, leading the coal
miners with a club in one hand and a
Shakespearean shaft in the other, set
the stage. Anyway, against a backdrop
Of bulging union Golfers and more leisure
time, Mr.. Perlis' challenge is far from
fanciful.
Like the guilds Of old, the unions are
Ideally placed to fulfill Mr.. Perlis' vision
Of professional and amateur orchestras,
theater, workshops, ETC., in every COM
munity. AS he so aptly put it, failure
to use free time conStructively will hurt
not only the individual, but our whole
Nation"
The AFL-CIO's goal Of the full life
through education, appreciation Of the
arts, recreation and public service de-
serves the fullest support. John Ruskin
saw 1t this way: Life without industry is
guilt, industry without art is brutality"

Toward an Open World

Much as the Soviets may wish to per-
petuate 1t, the Iron Curtain definitely
appears to be growing obSolescent. And
the same holds true for many aspects, in
cluding the military, of the bleak closed
society that exists behind it.
At any rate, progress in space leaves
little room for doubt that the day is COM
ing when the entire globe-particularly
the now-hidden Communist parts Of it
will be very much exposed to all-Seeing
man-made eyes In the high heavens.
These eyes, such as those that have been
under development in our Project SamoS,
will ride in constantly orbiting earth
satellites. The satellites will be equipped,
in other words, with incredibly powerful
cameras capable of televising back to us
amazingly sharp pictures (for example,
a thing as small as a golf ball photo
graphed at distance Of 600 miles) from
lands like the Soviet Union.
Clearly, by way Of comparison, the
celebrated U-2 "spy plane" seems de-
Stined to be remembered despite Nikita
Khrushchev'S enraged attack on it, as
merely the beginning of truly spectacu-
lar spy-in-the-Sky reconnaissance sys-
tenn. The prospect has been well defined
by Leonard C. Meeker of our State De-
partment Certainly, as he has declared
in speech at Montreal's McGill Univer-
Sity, what is happening in space "de-
crees that we are all to live in an increas-
ingly open world"-a world in which our
country, because Of just such undertak-
lngs as Project Samos, will be able to cope
effectively with "the secret development,
testing, and deployment Of national
armament :. within closed societies"
This promising world is not Just
around the corner, of course, but 1t is
sufficiently near to suggest that the men
Of the Kremlin-who are reputed to be
realistic-may yet cooperate according
ly.

'EnqIond Hath Need =

It may be that most of Britain's
ban-the-bomb zealotS are well-inten-
toned men and women whose only basic
fault is that they tend to be governed
more by emotion than by common sense
Even so, as they have shown over the
Easter week end, their mobilize unruli-
ness, their bleakly negative brand Of
patriotism, and the burleSque they make
Of intellectual objectivity in relation to
defense measures measures vital to
their survival as free nation) hardly
merit tolerance or respect.
Beyond that, there seems little doubt
that the ranks of these not-too-admir-
able people have been infiltrated by
large numbers of Communists and fell
low-traveling extreme leftists, whose
only objective is to paralyze the will of
the British and frighten them into uni
lateral disarmament. This, Of course, Is
ardently desired by the Kremlin, for
nothing could better serve Soviet am
bitions to take over the whole Of free
Europe and march on to complete mas
terry Of the globe.
The most sinister aspect Of the
whole business is that large numbers Of
the weekend demonstrators have de-
lighted in lampooning and violating the
Official Secrets Act by helping to pro-
mote what officials have described as
major breach of Britain's national Sc
curity. This they have done by distrib-
uting a pamphlet (the work of a pre-
'sumably Communist organization called
"Spies for Peace"O apparently revealing
highly classified information on Britain's
plans for governing itself in the event
of nuclear attack.
The crime implicit here must make
many true Briton dolefully wonder
over what has happened to all too many
Of his countrymen. Why have they soft
ened? Why have they come out for peace
1T any price? Why are they espousing
a policy declaring, in effect, that it is
netter to be Red than dead? These are
not Winston Churchill's Englishmen, nor
those of Milton, Of whom Wordsworth
has written q. England hath need
Of thee," and who once said Of his land:
"Methinks see in my mind noble and
puissant nation rousing herself like
strong man after sleep, and shaking her
;nvincible locks. Methinks see her as
an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and
kindling her undazzled eyes at the full
midday beam"
Obviously this is not what the BAN
:he-bombers are doing-or the young
comics who make spool of their coun-
try's ancient virtues, and give voice to
sort of hilarious but quite deadly nihil-
ism over the government-owned British
Broadcasting Corporation. More and
more. it would seem, in Britain as else
where, the old verities become less and
less eternal. Which is one Of the great
pitieS Of our time.

Drafting Doctors

Recently 1t was announced
that, with a single exception,
military draft Of fathers
would be suspended. The ex-
ception was for doctors and
dentists, who are found In very
short supply by the military.
I have nothing in common
with the medical profession
beyond a college education,
and no personal concern
beyond my conscience, but
1t strikes me that this is
an example Of public dis
regard for individuals. Can
we not provide medical serv-
ice to the military with less
inhumanity to the draftees
in question?
Since graduation from col
lege I have earned some $50,-
900; 1t is startling TO realize
that II I had entered medi-
cal school I would have been
paying tuition and working
harder for the privilege; /
would not yet be finished my
internship. ! would have yet
more years TO go to become
any sort Of specialist. This
young father whom we can
not exempt from the draft is
just about my age. He has
given much more TO life and
the world than I have, and
will continue TO do so, but II
will be a precious long time
before he will have received
as much return as ! have.
For my part. society has no
fair claim TO still more OF
this mans life. II the military
requires more recruits from
the medical professions. then
II should. In the name OF
simple justice. offer at least
some incentive comparable 10
those which have now made
drafting Of less dedicated
fathers unnecessary.

Coping With Cuba

Raids by Cuban exiles are
sooner or later going 10 give
the United States q black
eye and possibly spark q war.
With the many reports of the

ginning. the United States

In coping with the situation
In Cuba.

entrenched, God only knows
what can be done without

Tosses in q Hot

Recent news stories have
mentioned several prominent
Republicans as potential
presidential candidates, but
I believe that the best candi-
date OF all has been largely
passed over by the press.
! would like 10 call atten-
ton TO the record OF our
Buckeye-James Rhodes. In
his first few days OF office,
he fired all State employees
hired after September ID,

River Right-of-Woy

The recent hour long
morning rush hour traffic
tie-up at the malfunctioning
South Capitol Street Bridge
was entirely unnecessary. The
Navy tug, for which the
bridge was raised, should not
have passed there at the
morning rush hour, since
there was no emergency.
Even If the bridge had func-
toned properly 1t would have
meant quite a traffic delay.
Furthermore all towboats
and similar vessels which
regularly use rivers and in
land waterways have either
retractable or foldup masts
so that they can pass under
most bridges. The masts Of
tugs can be light and quite
low because their only pur-
pose is to carry navigation
lights and they do not have
heavy cargo booms as on
freighters. Therefore e, the
folding Of such small masts
while passing under bridges
is no problem. The Navy tug,
however, has an exceptional
ly high non-folding mast.
In addition a to folding
masts some towboats even
have q retractable pilot house
such as q large 95-foot tug
recently built at a shipyard
in Louisiana for operation on
the Mississippi and Illinois
waterway. This pilot house
can be lowered and raised
hydraulically by IA feet.
All companies operating
various vessels on the WASH
ington area waterways should
be requested to comply with
these long-established rules,
which are worldwide, and
the bridges should be opened
only for larger ocean-going
ships. w. o. Schrader.
