WASHINGTON.—A boy joined the
staff of a four-page paper of which
he was one day
to become editor. | ;
The office was a F
rattle-trap build- '
Ing whose notable : ’
characteristics,
he later said,
were “sewer gas. fc i Eft
rats, dirt, over- MjByg A
grown rowdy
newsboys who had /fi .■S3
to be held in ■■■■H
check by a long
whip and Are- J
arms,” and it was
“positively dan-
gerous at times to go into the al-
ley which they infested, leading to
the composing room.”
The town as the boy nad grown
up in it was a straggling over-
grown country village “with zigzag
grades, no sewerage, no street cars,
no water supply except from pumps
and springs, unimproved reserva-
tions, second-rate dwellings and
streets of mud and mire.”
That doesn’t sound like the na-
tion’s capital whose budget for the
coming year is $76,755,009—but that
was the way it was in 1858 as de-
scribed by the editor of the Wash-
ington Evening Star, Theodore
Noyes, who died early this month.
He joined the paper in 1877.
Except for the Australian capital
of Canberra which arose almost as
Camelot at a wave of Merlin’s wand,
there is nothing to compare with the
bizarre history of a city whose site
was based on a political deal and
no city which has gone through
more vicissitudes than this Baghdad-
on-the-Potomac.
No city was ever more magnifi-
cently planned, or more discredit-
ably neglected in its early days, as
Mr. Noyes’ description indicates. To-
day, as the undisputed capital of
the world, it still has to battle with
a grudging congress for its budget.
It remains the chief city of the
greatest democratic republic whose
938,000 citizens have no voice in their
own government and whose citizen-
ship itself is a bar to the basic priv-
ilege of a democracy—the ballot.

paper he served, a Washington in-

War Profiteering
Will Be Scandal
The juicy scandal uncovered by
the senate war investigating com-
mittee in which “profiteering at its
worst,” as Senator Mead called it,
was exposed, is, I fear, only the be-
ginning.
Any moment 1 expect to hear an
explosion in connection with surplus
property. War breeds waste, and
the cloak of patriotic endeavor as
Samuel Johnson indicated even
more bluntly, often covers skulldug-
gery.
The same thing happened after
TRUMAN:
Temper Short
Maybe it’s hot weather, but Presi-
dent Truman’s temper is consid-
erably shorter than it used to be.
This was evident recently when
he spoke out at a press conference
stating that John O’Donnell, a re-
porter, had spread “another lie.”
(Incidentally, O’Donnell once re-
ceived an iron cross from FDR.)
Other displays of irritability have
been noticed by those close to him.
Is it his health? No, says his doc-
tor; it’s just being President.
“I don’t know of any President
who kept so many appointments,”
said Col. Wallace Graham, the
President’s physician.
Mr. Truman wakes himself be-
tween 5:30 and 6:00 each morning,
showers, shaves and dresses without
the aid of a valet, and goes for a
mile walk. He sometimes splashes
in the White House swimming pool,
but never plays golf or engages in
any game more strenuous than
pitching horseshoes. He may keep
eight or ten appointments of 10 to
20 minutes each, see visitors, legis-
lators, foreign diplomats, head a
reception line and do some work in
his office, all in an afternoon and
evening. He sleeps soundly too.
But sometimes these days, he’s a
little irritablel Maybe he's just like
the rest of us.

BRITISH ON DEFENSIVE
But the first Lange resolution
hoped and expected “the Spanish
people will regain the freedom of
which they have been deprived.”
The same hopes and expectations
could be expressed about the Rus-
sians. All free people would like to
see other people free also, but no
proposal was made to have every
nation sever diplomatic connections
with Russia.
So the Communist proposition
was rather absurd. The truth is
it was cooked up by the Rus-
sians, who put the Poles up to
it, in order to make the western
world stop debating Iran, the
Communist revolution in the
north province there, and to put
the British diplomatically upon
the defensive. The Russians
themselves vetoed one move
to send the problem to the large
assembly of nations, where they
can expect to fare worse than
in the council. About the only
thing the Russians achieved
was the putting of the British
on the defensive and sub-
mergence of Iran for a time.
Thus the status quo of Spain is
likely to continue, with only in-
creased Communist agitation with-
in its borders where strikes are re-
ported, and the usual Communist
methods developing.
| You must remember Communism
does not really recognize free dem-
ocracy as a proper philosophy of
government. They like to think of
the world as divided into two parts,
one Fascist, and the other dom-
inated by themselves. This does not
happen to be the case. The two
great parts into which the world
is divided is free and slave. On one
hand are we, believers in freedom
of the individual, parliamentary
systems, elections for all parties,
even the communists. On the other
are the Russians who do not believe
in the freedom of the individual, but
in his subservience to the state,
have no parliamentary system of
government, and hold only one-
party elections which are not elec-
tions at all. but popularity
tests in which anyone
votes against the government
better start for the border.
In that conflict, Spain or the
cists do not measure much,
cism (Fasces) means group cantro)
—like they have in Russia. The dif-
ference between Spain and Russia
to the citizen thereof, is that Spain
is run by an army man while Rus-
sia is operated by "GeneMlissimo”
Stalin (the generalissimo having
originated in civilian life).
We do not believe in either kind
of dictatorship. But if we allow our
selves to become immersed in argu

The June "Economic Outlook,”
published by -the Congress of Indus-
trial Organizations, contains an ar-
ticle entitled “When the People Vote
—They Win.” That might be in-
terpreted in more ways than one.
The article points out that an “off
year” is so designated politically
not only because the presidency is
not at stake, but because the poli-
ticians know that general apathy on
the part of the voter has marked
those elections in the past: 1938 (off)
thirty million voters went to the
polls; 1940 (on) fifty million votes;
1942 (off) twenty-eight million; 1944
(on) forty-eight million.
. The CIO takes the attitude that
what the people as a whole want is
what they (the CIO) want, and that
the people get what they want when
they vote for it. They say: "Mass
registration and mass voting is the
best guarantee of liberal progres-
sive government.”
They might also add that if
want conservative rather than
eral progressive government,
have to vote for it, too. In
case you can’t get what you want un-
less you go after it. The “Out-
look” prints a table showing how
the vote shifted in certain districts
in off-years. The table showed that
when the vote fell off, it was the
Democratic vote. Districts which
swung from Democratic to Repub-
lican candidates in most cases shift-
ed with a decrease in the total vote
. . . “the Republican vote remain-
ing relatively stable, while the Dem-
ocratic vote dropped sharply.”
Does this prove that Democrats
are sleepier than Republicans, or
that the Republican is a creature of
habit?

SPANISH ISSUE IS JUST
RUSSIA’S ’RED HERRING*
WASHINGTON. — The British
handled the Communist-pushed
Spanish questions in the security
council — and deftly, they worked
affairs around so no important
action was taken, and the United
States merely went along. Behind
their energy was their knowledge
that installation of an unsympa-
thetic regime in Spain would threat-
en Gibraltar, still the rock or at
least the pebble of empire.
The seven to four vote against
the Polish resolution, urging a
break of relations of all nations with
Spain, was about as good as the
Communists will do in the security
council. On the CP side were Soviet
Russia, Poland, France and Mexi-
co, while the British got Australia,
the Netherlands and Egypt and we
may have helped some in lining up
Brazil and China for the majority
of seven.
The division showed that as
long as the U. S. and Britain
stand together in the council,
the free democratic side is not
in much UNO danger. But if
they ever break and either sides
with Russia, there may be
trouble. The difficulties of Com-
munism are due to Russian
joint antagonism of the British
and Americans, driving them
together. This is not unnatural
because of the common associ-
ation of ideals, our joint favor-
ing of the parliamentary sys-
tem, and corresponding Chris-
tian ideals.
In this case, the British had an
easy opportunity. The whole Lange-
Russian case was founded upon the
assumption, as stated, that Spain
“is a serious danger to the main-
tenance of international peace and
security” — which everyone knows
is not a
borders
neither
actually
vaded anyone. She is not a world
power. These things are evident.
The council’s own investigating
committee found only that Spain “is
not an immediate but a potential
threat to peace,” according to Dr.
Lange, although the British do not
agree with this interpretation. No-
body said when she might be a
threat.
Rats Were Menace
To City’s Health
Some time ago I had occasion to
mention the invasion of Washington
by rats and how the city hired a
modern Pied Piper who has done an
effective, if silent, job. This was
brought to my mind recently when
I encountered a fat, black cat on my
way to work early one morning.
The cat had a guilty look, and I had
a hunch he had spent the night in
riotous living and was merely
sneaking in to change his collar.
However, the cataclysm caused by
the rat-invasion in which, believe it
or not, a baby’s hand was eaten,
brought hasty action and I see that
it was considered worthy of com-
ment by experts, including the edi-
tors of the magazine of the Amer-
ican Museum of Natural History.
The campaign began when a case
of typhus which is spread by fleas
and mites on rats, was discovered.
Traps set in the neighborhood
caught a number of rats whose
blood was typhus-infected. The
United States Public Health service
got busy, shocked to learn that the
scourge of Europe two centuries ago
was a possibility right here in our
fair capital.
An expert was called in. He first
sealed up all points where commer-
cial transportation entered the city.
Then 300 traps were set up in the
zone where the infection had been
found. Five days later the traps
were taken in and the area was
thoroughly dusted with DDT, the in-
secticide which the army perfected.
Next red-squill bait was distrib-
uted. It kills rats, but not pets or
children who might pick up the bait.
In places where there was no dan-
ger to human beings the deadly
“1080” was distributed. The cam-
paign was successful. Meanwhile, a
clean-up of potential rat-breeding
premises was started with court ot-
hers to enforce it. Today Washing-
ton has a complete scientific rat-
control program which will cost us
about $75,000 annually.
However, it still leaves a few rats
for energetic cats.
can’t see anybody on the line, no-
body is there.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn
that telephone conversations with
most of the government departments
are being recorded right now. I
have reason to
the question of
corders in the
brought up, it
down. White House employees have
a long and excellent record for fidel-
ity. Of course they are carefully
screened, and when the campaign
to get everybody fingerprinted (an
excellent idea if you have nothing to
conceal about your past and no plans
for an over-adventurous future) was
begun, the White House employees
voluntarily came forward and of-
fered

cret weapon or invisible death
around that South Pacific area for
hours and days—and even longer
perhaps.
The blast of x-rays and invisible
alpha, beta and neutron rays that
hit ships from the atom bomb were
more crippling than the blast that
smashed down and the heat that
wrecked some. One of the navy’s
“drone” ships, which went pilotless
into the cloud and returned, was un-
safe to approach for more than
three days. It is believed that had
there been pilots in the planes they
would have been killed. ’ Mice that
flew into the cloud changed color.
White mice became brown. Hair
usually turns white or gray when
exposed to radioactive rays. All
the drones brought back evidence of
extreme radioactivity in or near the
cloud. This invisible ray attack
was worst at about 15,000 feet alti-
tude. The roof of X-ray is placed at
about 2,000 feet, so the other rays
were different.
So far the scientists have made
no report. But newsmen are ask-
ing: “Could human beings have
lived on airplanes and ships after the
blast?”
COTTON:
Crop Is Bigger
There were 18,316,000 acres of cot-
ton in cultivation on July 1, or 3.3
per cent more than a year ago, the
department of agriculture has es-
timated.
The acreage in cultivation July 1
and the percentage of the 1945 acre-
age, respectively, by states included:
Missouri, 310,000 acres and 116 per
cent; Virginia, 20,000 and 105; North
Carolina, 580,000 and 102; South
Carolina, 950,000 and 98; Georgia,
1,235,000 and 98; Florida, 23,000 and
100; Tennessee, 600,000 and 99; Ala-
bama, 1,510,000 and 107; Mississippi,
2,420,000 and 106; Arkansas, 1,660,-
000 and 107; Louisiana, 900,000 and
104; Oklahoma, 1,120,000 and 95;
Texas, 6,350,000 and 104; New Mex-
ico, 116,000 and 99; Arizona, 145,000
and 94; California, 359,000 and 113,
and all other states, 18,000 and 99.
WHEAT QUOTA:
To Europe Passed
The United States was ahead of
its quota of wheat shipments to Eu-
rope in the first six months of 1946,
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son reported a few days ago. He
reported to President Truman that
50,000,000 bushels were shipped in
June, bringing shipments for the
year up to 397.000,000 bushels.
COAL LAND:
Good for Farming
At Altoona, Pa., tests have shown
that stripped coal fields, properly
backfilled, are better farm land
than before the coal was removed.
It was the opinion of the state
mine inspector that practically all
of the land can be restored for agri-
cultural purposes, either for crop-
ping, grazing or planting orchards.
