Impact of March

The right of each citizen to
make known his grievances is
an important part of our
Constitution, but that right
should not be allowed to dis
turb an entire city. The
forthcoming march does just
that. The Civil Service Com
mission has strongly recon-
mended that all workers not
essentially needed should
take annual leave for that
day. The Senators Baseball
Club has rescheduled two
games because of the demon
stration. Commissioner To-
briner has suggested that all
people not in the march
should stay away from that
area. Finally, many demon
strators will be arriving by
automobiles which will not
help our already traffic-con-
gested city. Isn't this going
too far? Must Washington
alter its activities every time
a group decides to march on
the Government? Will Wash
ington so cordially welcome
the NaziS and the segrega-
tionists if they attempt to
make known their views on
the civil rights legislation
pending before Congress?
However, the greatest
drawback to this march is
the possibility Of violence.
Can the leaders of the march
assure us that there are no
militant extremists among
the 100000 who would not
benefit from violence that
this Nation would not soon
forget? If trouble does occur,
the State Departments baby,
prestige. will really need some
caring for, and even worse,
the Negro's drive for COM
plete emancipation might be
impaired. When will intelli-
gence and objectivity once
again spearhead the Negroes
drive for equality?
Kenneth Weeden.
y
Commissioner Tobriner has
urged that anyone not in
volved in the march on Au-
gust % stay out of down.
town. This is a sensible sug-
gestion.
The masses expected will
create a traffic problem, and
any agitators who may, sadly,
appear, will be much more
easily contained If unneces-
sary thousands of Washing
ton residents are at home.
Why, then, do the depart
ment stores persist in their
decision to open? 1t has been
suggested that they will save
face"-they will not be in
timidated into closing. Surely
the 28th will rival any of our
winter "snow days" for negli-
gible receipts. The people
affected would surely be
grateful for a decision that
freed fathers, mothers, and
grandmothers from the obli-
CATION to be part of a mob

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Burning Buddhists
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain of the United States Senate

more ana IIlOTc OGlCNlSIOAL
screen where increasing mil
lions watch the whole world
go by. Recently at one Of
the trouble spots on this
little planet spinning in the
whirlpool of space, gazing
spectators were Mortified to
see yellow-robed Buddhist
monks burn themselves to
death as a witness to their
religious faith. Being burned
for ones convictions seems
to belong to a chapter of
persecution which harks
back to old unhappy, far-off
things, but quite out Of
character in this last half of
the goth century. Yet here,
in this sophisticated, sky
scraper, jet age, are repre-
sentatives Of a religion set
ting fire to themselves as a
protest for what they con-
slider an affront to their
creed.
Now, while these suicides
were doubtless sincere
enough as individuals, 1t
must be said that the reli-
gious beliefs for which they
died are so vague as to the
stupendous meaning Of a
personal God, that it is quite
possible for atheistic commu-
nism to slip into that vacu-
um and to use this ancient
faith for it's own evil ends.
There is every evidence that
Red China is doing that
very thing and that the fol-
lowers of Buddha are sus-
ceptible to such radical in
roads.
The same sinister system
which is endeavoring to wipe
out all traces of Christianity
on mainland China is using
Buddhism to halt the spread
of any religion coming from
the white mans west. A
knowledgeable expert in this
matter warns that Mao, who
is against all vital religion,
is ordering extra gold-leaf
for the laughing Buddha in
Peking. A young Buddhist
monk in Ceylon has recently
said that he, and 80 per cent
of his contemporaries, hope
that their country will soon
have a Communist govern
ment.
In Red China is published a
monthly Modern Buddhism"
which constantly advocates
that by wiping out "Amer-
lean imperialists," who are
the disturbers Of world peace,
the Buddhists will gain credit.
So, let us take with more
than one grain of salt the
charge that the ominous STIR
rings among the predomi-
nantly Buddhist population
of Wet Nam, where our boys
are dying, to stop the Com
munist take-over in Asia, is
explained by alleged Catholic
persecution of that faith.
There is pink manipulation
back of the saffron robes!
However, so far as Bud
dhism is concerned, even
without being infiltrated by
Marxism, there Is being
manifested a new militancy
to which Christianity dare
not close its eyes. This is
true also with regard to
Hinduism and Islamism. This
trio of faiths have always
assumed that there is that
in them which appeals and
applies to all mankind.
Islam is raising its minarets
in most of the chief cities Of
the earth. 1t is making
marked inroads in Europe.
And, in Africa it is estimated
that today to one convert OF
Christianity there are 10 to
MohammedaniSm. Hinduism
also is lifting its standards
as a world faith. Even
Gandhi was a Hindu and be-
lieved until the day of his
assassination that Christian

This meant new coffin was

A family got word one day last
week that one of their sons was
badly injured in an industrial ac-
cident in California. No one in the
family could talk English to make
a phone call to the hospital in
California to find out how their
son was getting along. They went
to the center, and a member of
the staff made the call for them.

She didn't return until late that

this letter is answered by the
letter from Harvey Dixon which
follows it was appr opriate to run
both letters for the benefit of our
readers.
To The Editor - 1t is noted
that over half of the Navajo tribal
councilmen have expressed dis
satisfaction with Raymond Nakai.
Undoubtedly, of the rem a lining
group of 80, there are is or 20
who are unhappy also but have not
EXPIRE ssed it in writing.
Many of the re servation Nava-
jos think Nakai has caused much
confusion. His campaign pro-
mises to develop jobs first have
failed to develop. Instead, the first
issue was his demand for his raise
in salary. He alsopromi sed legal
izing use of peyote. Instead, he is
advocating use of wine on his radio
commercials.
Raymond Nakai is quoted inthe
papers as saying, "All | know is
what l hear in the newspapers"
He has no gripes because he
is getting some of his own medi-
cine. The councilmen do not know
most of the things that he does.

For Retiring Hounds

District officials are growing

the dogs themselves.
The bloodhounds are victims
of progress: Encroaching ur-

with its many distracting
smells, has made it impossible
for the sad-faced sniffers to
continue their trade of track
ing fugitives.
Seldom If ever has the forced
retirement Of loyal city en-
ployes caused such a public
baying. Bloodhound lovers
have been calling up District
officials, from Commissioner
Walter N. Tobriner on down,
to moan and sniffle about the
dogs future.
A high-level conference was
held last week to consider

the retirement problem. Among
the questions that came up
were: What kind Of home does
it take to make a bloodhound
smile? Are the dogs eligible
for a police pension? If not,
how about job retraining?
Could they be taught to track
errant husbands to the corner
saloon? How old does a dog
have to be before he is too old
to be taught new tricks?
After solemn deliberation,
Mr.. Tobriner issued the follow
ing communique:
Unfortunately, the District
has no legal means to assure
that these dogs find suitable
homes. Therefore, we appeal
to Washington dog lovers
Don't turn UP your nose at
