Big Dam at Seneca

Public outrage at the ruinous dam
age to the Potomac River valley above
Washington already has forced the Army
Engineers to beat prudent retreat from
one high-level dam propoSal-at River
Bend, Md. 1t is apparent now that their
substitute dam at Seneca, few miles
upriver, Is no more acceptable. For this
impoundment would spare only limited
area from its massive inundation. It's
waters still would destroy historic scenic
and recreational resources, creep over
private and public property on both
sides of the river, and back up the
Potomac nearly to Harper's Ferry.
This lamentable destruction could
be defended If there were no other way
to solve the most urgent Potomac River
problem-an adequate supply of water
for the Nations Capital. But that is not
the case. Many experts are convinced
that series of more modest impound-
ments on the Potomac and its tribu-
tarieS above Harper'S Ferry, coupled
with the normal flow Of the river, would
suffice for long, long time-and leave
the natural character of the main stem
Of the river intact.
The authors of the Seneca plan do
not contend that it Is justified by water
supply needs alone. They argue that the
waters Of this dam also are needed for
pollution control, and that its reservoir
would create new and more valuable
recreational resources. But on these
points, too, the evidence does not sup
port the claims.
Consider pollution. The plan is that
during periods Of low river flow, large
quantities Of water could be released to
surge down the river bed and flush the
pollution away. Certainly the day is not
far off when research and technology
will produce better method than this.
Indeed, experts even today differ as to
the effectiveness of the flushing" tech
nique. At the public hearing last week,
for example, David V. Aud, the Districts
sanitary engineering director, expressed
uncertainty about its value, and urged
that attention be paid first to "other
0ollution-con alternatives" This is
sound advice.
The Engineers are most vulner-
able, however, in their claims for
the recreational values which would
accrue to the public from the big dams.
For these values, whatever they may be,
would require the destruction Of the
infinitely greater natural values Of the
Potomac Valley. Surely the Army En-
gineerS can develop a plan which will
offer the people of the Potomac Basin
a better choice than that.

FROM THE STAR FILES.
100 Years AGO

The hard central core Of
Confederate resistance at
this time a century ago was
the area from Richmond
south to Alabama. This sec
ton contained the Confed-
eracy's factories, powder
mills, blast furnaces and the
like so necessary to keep the
cause" alive. Chattanooga,
Tenn, was the gateway to
this region. The city was on
the main East-West railroad
line, a transportation link
vital to both sides. Although
overrun by the Confederate
armies, most of Eastern Ten
nessee's mountain people re-
manned loyal to the Union.
Federal troops led by Cen
erals RoSecrans and Burn
side moved across Eastern
Tennessee In September,
1858. The Confederates evac-
uated Knoxville and Burn
sides men moved in on Sep
TENDER 4, 1868. Cumberland
Gap was taken five days
later, and Rosecrans' ad-
vance guard on the same day
slipped into Chattanooga.
The going was deceptively
easy, as the Confederates
gave ground without serious
fighting. The Star OF Mon
day, September 7, 1853,
headlined: Burnside in
Possession Of Knoxville |"
The story said: Gen. Burn
side has reached Knoxville.
and has seized the chief
strategic points Of East Ten
nessee. On the 4th instant,
a portion Of Burnside's cav
airy occupied Knoxville.
Others Of his troops were
at the time above and below
Knoxville. on the line OF the
East Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad. He has also cap

portation, ETC., and the blow
thus dealt to rebeldom.

Mr.. Ks Concessions

Khrushchev's much her
aided concessions" to the
captive nations are strictly
tactical propaganda moves
designed to weaken free
world moral support to the
enslaved millions behind the
Iron Curtain. In reality moth
ing has changed Cor wild;
the Russian Communists are
still the monolithic ruling
elite. Communist propaganda
is constantly being fed to the
world, especially the United
States to the effect that
communism is moderating"
and "the peoples of the So
Wet Union and the Red bloc
are gaining new freedoms"
etc. Indeed some minor con-
cessions have been granted
but only to bolster the prop
aganda drive; nationalism
and freedom are not attain
able under police-state So
cialism. Many liberals and
some Of the American press
have completely accepted this
false thesis and are, in turn,
influencing the general
public.
Since the BolShevik revo-
luton, the Russian Commu-
mist Party has actively, cease
leSsly and Systematically
worked for the absolute des-
truction of nationaliSm and
individual freedom within
their slave empire. Soviet
imperialism has advanced
worldwide over the bodies of
more than 20 million men,
women and children, Slaugh-
tered or worked to death in
slave labor camps. Does this
mass genocide mean nothing
to the foolish idealists in
America who continually
parrot the Communist line?
Will we not recognize the to-
tai Red conspiracy for what
it actually is? Lev E. Do
briansky, the outstanding
Kremlinologist, in describing
our record in relation to the
Soviet Union stated This
kind of record almost sug-
gests a bent toward national
suicide.
Must 1t continue?

Byrd and Gypsy Moth

Senator Harry Byrd has
been critical Of Federal funds
used in research on the gyp-
sy moth. He said:
"As for us farmers, let's
not overlook the fact that
two Agriculture Department
chemists recently reported
discovering that a male
gypsy moth on the wing can
spot the presence Of a recep-
tive, grounded, female gypsy
moth as far as a quarter Of
a mile away-downwind :"
This was known in 1895.
Over the years since then
female moths and extracts
from them have been used In
traps to assess the extent Of
gypsy moth populations in
the Northeastern States
where the insect continues
to be a major defoliator of
a great number of forest,
shade, and horticultural
trees, including Mr.. Byrd's
apple.
Great sums have been
spent to quarantine and
spray this pest. At least 60
natural control agents have
been brought from Europe
and Asia, native homes of the
moth.
What has recently been &C
complished by three USDA
scientists, Martin jacobson,
M. Beroza, and w. A. Jones,
is the isolation of 20 hun
dreths Of a gram of the at
tractant from the remains of
a million female moths. Con-
tinued work identified the
substance which it turns out
can be synthesized for IS a
pound.
The United States now has
a new tool with which to
stamp out the tree killer.
Males are compelled to visit
any object coated with a
trace amount Of the attract
ant. Brought to traps, males
would fail to fertilize fe-
males. It is not unthinkable
that the gypsy moth might
be eradicated from this coun-
try.
If so 1t could be done with
minimal use of insecticides,
the employment Of which is
being more widely challeng-
ed today.

reparably in the way Of sup
plies, rolling stock, etc.. and
bringing into our ranks hosts
Of the courageous Unionists
Of East Tennessee who have
persistently, at the hazard Of
life, refused to join hands
with the rebels. This
paper on September II, 1868,
printed a dispatch from a
New York Tribune corre-
spondent. datelined Cincin-
natl, September 8, "Chatta-
nooga's Occupation: Gen.
Bragg has again been obliged
to give way to the superior
strategy Of Gen. Rosecrans,
and Chattanooga, the last re-
bel stronghold in Tennessee,

forces without combat. With
its fall the whole Of Tennes-

mans skin and see what he
sees through his eyes. With
out a sanctified imagination
we cannot sit where others
sit. 1t was ironically said Of
a certain man that he al
ways approached every situa-
ton not with open mind but
with open mouth.
The second rule is-be a
little more interested than
necessary in the vital con-
Germs of others. A self-cen-
tered person does not get
along with others because he
really does not care about
them. He is always walking
with himself and talking
about himself. It is only
when we get away from our
selves that we get along with
other people. Not to give
yourself to others does not
necessarily injure them-it
ruins you! The one thing
which the greatest Person
who ever walked this earth
Is always saying by His
words, and by His deeds, is
that self-giving is the only
door to establishment. The
only hope for greatness
which any Of us can possess
is to live with, and for,
others.
And then, there is a third
rule to adobe a little more
appreciative than necessary
in approving the honest eff
forts of those who are doing
their best, and yet are so Of
ten denied appreciation or
applause. From 9 to 80, who
has not seen human faces
light up from an inner glow
of satisfaction when some
expression Of praise bright
ems up the crown Of self
respect, furnished perhaps by
a lack of recognition and by
a haunting sense Of failure?
There Is no verbal vitamin
quite as potent as praise
when administered by an OPP
perfume pat on the back.
So, to get along with
others, here is the priceless
secret-be a little kinder
than necessary, remembering
always Ian Maclaren's, Of
Bonnie Briar Bush fame, ex-
hortation-"Be kind, be kind.
Everybody you meet is fight
a hard battle!"
Then, be q little more con-
cerned than necessary with
the hopes and fears Of others,
and never fail to be q little
more encouraging than nee
essary in beStowing well
done" when praise is de-
served. Out Of the modest
practicing of these attitudes
is woven the crown Of life's
durable Satisfactions glimpsed
in the deep insightS of Words
worth's comment, 1.-THE
best portion of a good mans
life is little. nameless, unre-
membered acts of kindness
and of thoughtfulness."
1t is guaranteed that If
these rules for getting along
with other folks are habitu-
ally practiced, the total YER
dict Of our relationship with
our fellows along life's way
will not be People are
funny but
People are wonderful!

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
A Priceless Secret
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain, United States Sonata

ISIS Cne next stop a1Cer LABOR
Day is Home Sweet Home.
There awaits the old rou-
tine from which carefree
days have granted a respite.
AS one swings back into
waiting schedules the tasks
that fill the fall days what
ever be the setting-home,
office, store, factory, or
school-bring always both
CHI allen g ing opportunities
and puzzling problems. But
whatever it is that command
GERS our best efforts in the
taxing months ahead, there
. Is one assignment not one
of us can escape and that
is getting along with people,
for better or for worse. We
will find back of us, by the
side Of us, in. front of US,
others along the crowded
ways we tread. For every one
Of us life is made or married
by what happens when our
personality touches others.
People who have not mas
tered the art Of getting along
with others are doomed to
live in a turmoil of irrita-
ton and of emotional stress
and strain. Now, Of course,
human nature is a queer
and often unpredictable
thing. No matter how skill
full one may be in the use
of lubricants when the feel
ingS" Of others are involved,
we are sure to come in con-
tact with those who are al
lergic even to understanding
tact. There are those with
porcupine dispositions with
whom 1t is seemingly i'm
possible to get along. How
ever, to assume that it is
always the others person.
atty, and not our own,
which generates friction, may
be a long Sea-mile from the
truth!
Surprising as 1t may seem
the chief test of being able
to keep a job has little to do
with the qualities usually
listed, such as honesty, eff
ficiency, or punctuality.
Sometime ago a letter was
sent to thousands Of en-
ployers in all the States ask
ing what are the faults
which lead them to fire"
people from their establish
mentS. The educators who
sent this query, were really
aStounded when the replies
showed that more than two
thirds of the persons who
lost their jobs had been dis
charged for just one rea-
Son-they could not get
along with other people.
In the pilgrimage across
the isthmus of the changing
years, 1t matters little what
else one gets If in all the
commerce of give and take
he fails to get along with
those with whom he deals. If
one habitually alienates and
repels others, there is some
thing drastically wrong, not
necessarily with the others.
If a person is more often
than not on "the outs" with
his associates he had better
look within for the source Of
the hostility. One who in
his human contacts has a
propensity to rub people the
wrong way is likely in his
own mirror to find the justi-
fication for what people
think Of him.
In J. M. Barrie's Little
Bird" one of the char
acters in that story says
Let us make a new rule from
tonight, always to be a little
kinder than necessary" Be-
cause in that simple suggeS-
ton, there is mirrored a Sc
cret more golden than gold;
shall we put that down as
the first rule in getting
along with others-be kinder
than necessary! Kindness

carded a club, and South let
out q howl Of anguish.
'The odds we're a million 10
one" South began, but North
didn't let him finish. "The
trumps break 10 about once ln
ten hands," North corrected
his partner. "0nce every twen-
ty hands the four trumps win
be held by the wrong oppo-
nent."
South could have recovered
II West had held the four
trumps, since he could have led
a low trump through the queen
toward dummy's jack. There
was no recovery, however,
when E asst had the four
trumps. South was doomed to
defeat.
Safety Play
A simple safety play would
guarantee the slam against
any break. After winning the
first trick with the hing Of
hearts South should lead a low
trump instead Of the ace.
When West shows out, South
plays the jack from dummy.
East wins with the queen Of
spades and returns a club.
Declarer wins In dummy and
returns a trump. II East plays
low, South will let dummy's
trump win the trick. East must
therefore cover with the nine Of
spades.
South wins with the king and
