A Promising Board
There is room for considerable sat-
isfaction in the composition of the first
hoard of directors of the new Hopkins
County Hospital District as determin-
ed by the county’s voters Saturday.
The five members elected all are
outstanding citizens with proven rec-
ords of accomplishment and a deep
concern for the improvement of the
hospital. If any qualification might
be expressed regarding the will of the
voters, it would lie in the fact that all
of the directors chosen are residents
of Sulphur Springs. Having at least
one member living elsewhere in the
county might have proved advanta-
geous in maintaining public support
for the new program.
It is interesting to note that two of
the new directors are former Kansans,
one a former Californian and two na-
tives of Hopkins County.
The board has a tremendous job
ahead familiarizing itself with details
of the hospital operation, studying the
improvements that can be made with-
in range of the district’s ability to pay
and winning support for its decisions.
Its members deserve the fullest public-
understanding and backing as they ap-
proach their big new task.
ed words will succeed in imposing ord-
er on events.
Certainly there are moments in his-
tory when this may be so. Sir Win-
ston Churchill's eloquent utterances in
Wortd ' War ii t>espoke a grand de-
sign': the survival of Britain find all
free lands. Our founding fathers gave
history expression to a national pur-
pose that has guided us nearly 200
years.
Forceful words are always an im-
portant ingredient of leadership, but
they have their limits. Even in crises,
their usefulness is governed by the
hard realities in the field of action. It
is especially so in times of sharply di-
vided outlook like the present.
We need the seekers after order.
But we need not buy their argument
that all is lost without it. For most
of the order the world has had was
provided by those after-the-fact pack-
agers we call historians.

The Power of Words
In American political life, those
who hold stoutly either to liberal or to
conservative doctrine are by that fact
much attached to the power of words.
Many liberals made no secret of it
that their durable affection for Adlai
Stevenson, the 1952-56 Democratic
presidential nominee, was due in con-
siderable part to his superb command
of the English language.
Beyond Stevenson, the liberals have
sHbwn greatest interest in those fig-
ures who. like Minnesota’s Sen. Hu-
bert Humphrey, tend to articulate the
liberal philosophy in “fighting terms.”
It should be no surprise that mat-
ters are exactly the same on the Right.
A substantial part of Sen. Barry Gold-
water’s appeal to conservatives is his
dramatization as a fighter, a man who
rips the opposition up the back.
A liberal, chiding out leaders for
too much emphasis upon the military
element in our ties to foreign friends,
can raise the roof with: “What we
need is more warm hearts and less
cold steel.”
A conservative, rapping big gov-
ernment, can do the same with: “Let’s
get the government out of our private
lives, and let the people make their
own decisions.”
Yet stony silence can greet the
middle-roader when he says:
“Restoring the nation’s economy is
a very complex matter, with no black
and white solutions. This year we are
trying this particular tax formula. If
it doesn’t work, we’ll try something
else.”
A typical response of the doctrin-
aire liberal or conservative: “What did
he say?”
The truth is, the doctrinaire peo-
ple are worshipers of order in a world
with not much of it. In small matters
they seek the neat package. In large
affairs, the grand design.
They believe that the leader whe
expresses such designs in firmly utter-
THE BIRDCAGE.
per & Row. S3.95.
In the school of modern realism, the dif-
ference between effective communication with
the leader and dull gibberish seems to hinge
a gieat deal upon the author’s ability to ob-
srve keenly and report significantly.
Bowen is an able realist with enough skill
to select the proper elements that make up
the essential ingredients of fiction.
He is waiting about middle-class English
people. His principal" characters are Peter
Ash. a notrtoo-normal individual who had be-
come, more or less by accident, the host of a
series of movie shorts leaning toward the
cultural side: and Norah Palmer, a script edi-
tor in a company producing commercial tele-
vision shows that make some pretense of be-
ing cultural.
So fat as the plot is concerned, it deals
with the breakup of a casual alliance between
Peter and Xorah, and their eventual return
to that alliance.
There is a subplot involving an aged civil
servant named Edward Laverick, who once in
his youth had written a play. The author
makes Laverick a rather poignant character
who clings stubbornly to those quaint old
virtues, honesty and integrity.
Bowen’s book comes under the heading of
social comment. The characters and situations
which he presents may seem a little odd, but
the point is that he gives the reader an adult
type of entertainment as he spins out the
tale.
it
This may not be a novel that will shake
the world. But it does have some valid dis-
closures of several individuals’ reactions to
the human predicament, and Bowen has a
deft facility for turning the cool light of ob-
servation upon his characters’ lives.

I World Museum on Water
Is Still in Fluid Stage -?
By PETER EDSON
Washington Corrzspondonl
Newspaper Enterprise Assa.
Washington, (NEAI — Bills have been filed to pavej
way for construction of a $10 million water museum and)
search tenter on government park land near the Washing
Monument. They were recently introduced by Chairman Wa
N. Aspinall, D-Colo., of the House Interior Committee, and
Robert L. F. Sikes, D-Fla.
The exact location proposed Is 15th St., and fndependd
Ave., S\V., west of the Bureau of Engraving and north of|
cherry blossom Tidal Basin, known to all tourists.
The proposed legislation calls for the government to 1^
this choice land for $1 n year for up to 99 years to the Bur
of Water Resources.
This is a private trust set up by the National Rivers
Harbors Congress, one of the most powerful organization^
the 9o-called “water lobby.”
Bureau of Water Resources proposes to raise funds by|
sale of bonds for construction of a six-to-eight story build
covering the equivalent of a city block.
Operation and maintenance of the building would be|
named by rental of office and exhibit space to the 50 sta
federal government agencies handling water resources, andj
lated private, nonprofit organizations.
The “Water Resources .Educational Building”, as it’d
be called, is the brain child of Henry Holland Buckman, a j!
sonville, Fla., engineer who has been president of N’atid
Rivers and Harbors Congress for the last five years. Hd
the first head of the 100-year-old organization who has
been a member of Congress or an ex-member.
Buckman has been working on this project for sevi
years. His idea is to make this a warld center of water resou)
information.
The proposed building would house the world’s largest
brary on water and related subjects in ail languages. A id
division would concentrate on water laws throughout hist

Austin — Clean up the road-
sides is a message being deliv-
ered by the Texas Good Roads
Association and the Texas Jun-
ior Chamber of Commerce.
Project is described as an
“important contribution of the
pleas of Governor Connally
and the Legislature to seriously
and systematically promote
tourist travel into and through
Texas.”
Texas Junior Chamber will
encourage its members to join
in a project to remove debris
and litter from city streets,
county roads, and state high-
ways.
Texas Good Roads Associa-
tion will give the junior cham-
bers money prizes for the best
local progress to make their
areas more attractive to visi-
tors of Texas.
Water—Final legislative ac-
tion is near on the bill by Sen.
Rep. Eligio de la Garza of Mc-
Allen to set up machinery for
the state to help out financially
on big water projects.
Both Houses have adopted
the bill, with a small differ-,
ence. Sen. Ralph Hall of Rock-
wall added an amendment to
give county commissioners
courts approval power on rec-
reation facilities planned at res-
ervoirs built under the pro-
gram. Since no county money
will be involved, the House
took out this provision.
Voters approved the plan last
November by which the Texas
Water Development Board will
be allowed to use up to half of
its $100,900,000 borrowing
power to pay for, or contract
new or expanding old, factories
in Texas, if the House and the
voters approve a plan by Sen.
