The Need for Understanding
By the Reu. Waiter F. Wolf,
Pastor, Arlington Presbyterian Church.

where they sit" Understanding. and
not condemnation, Is the order of
the day.
There is need for deeper under
standing of our feilowmen OF other
races. The war has brought to the
fore the relationship OF white peo-
pie and Negroes. Attacking the prob
lem that exists with prejudiced
minds will bring no lasting solution.
Only a desire on the part of each
group to understand the other will
bring satisfactory answers to the vex-
ing issues. Negroes must realize that
there are a great many white people
sympathetic to their struggle for
equal rights; and many more white
people must come to realize that any
race that could produce a great man
like DR.. George Washington Carver
deserves our whole-hearted help and
fair treatment.
There is need for the spirit OF un-
derstanding in the realm Of religion.
1t is tragic fact that there are over
225 different Protestant denomina-
tions In our land. Instead of the en-
phasis on competition that all too
often is evident, there must come a
stronger will to unity in the Protes-
tant Church. AS most people know,
the relation of the Protestant and
Roman Catholic churches is very
much in the limelight. Bitter denun-
citation Of one group by the other
will only serve to widen the rift be-
tween these two branches of the
Christian Church. Here, as in all
other phases of life, We must apply
the philosophy of Ezekiel. In our
Nations Capital, efforts have been
made to effect closer cooperation be-
tween Protestants, Roman Catholics
anG Jews. But the will to work to-
gether must be equally strong on the
part Of each group before satisfac-
tory results can be accomplished.
Lastly, we assuredly feel that there
is very great need for larger un-
derstanding In domestic political and
international relations. If we ever
are to have an enduring peace at
home and in the world at large,
sympathetic understanding must
play part in the solution Of the
vexing problems that face humanity.

Until We Have Control

In opening series of eight atomic
energy lectures to be delivered be-
hind closed doors to key group in
the Army. Secretary of War Patter-
son has made it reassuringly clear
that American military leaders are
not likely to plan the Nations future
security in terms of the kind of war
fare that antedated Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. On the contrary, their in
tention is to devote the fullest pos
sible effort to keeping preparedness
up to the minute-offensively and
defensively-with all the terrible po-
tentialities of A-weapons.
No less than the Navy, the Army
on the ground as well as in the air
faces fundamental new problems
as result of the Buck Rogers vistas
now spread before it. Nothing could
be more obvious than that these
problems call for radically changed
thinking as regards not merely mat
ters like equipment and organiza-
tional structure, but also battle tao
tics and strategy. They call, too, for
planning and action in the broad
field of longrange civilian defense
policies, including the question of
industrial decentralization. And of
course they make mandatory a con-
tinuing program of research and de-
velopment on scale great enough
to guarantee that every military
aspect of atomic energy will be
thoroughly explored and exploited
by our armed forces.
In other words, as Mr.. Patterson
has bluntly but truly put it, the
Army, like the Navy, must plan and
equip itself for atomic warfare un-
less and until the nations of the
world unite in subjecting A-weapons
to a system of rigid interna tionaI
control along the lines proposed by
the United States. To follow any
other course, in the absence of such
control, would be to gamble reck-
lessly with American security in an
age when that kind of gambling
could mean suicide. As indicated by
the series of in-camera lectures Just
lnaugurated in the Army and by the
Navy's reaction to the Bikini tests.
our military leaders are we'll aware
of this.
In Mr.. Patterson's words, military
planning on all levels must be kept
abreast of this new fact in the
world" and 1t must be directed
toward determining what the Army
and Navy can do and what they need
no longer do. Organization, mate
riel, size Of forces, tactics, strategy
these are the things which must
now be re-examined and changed In
keeping with the atomic bomb and
kindred weapons. To be sure. every
sane American must hope that there
will eventually be effective inter-
national atomic control, but until
we have that control-and the future
will be dismal and unprecedentedly
dangerous without 1.-THE law of
self-preservation will make full pre-
paredneSs imperative.

Now For the Experts
From the Los Angeles Times:

The main value of the Pearl Harbor
investigation, however, does not depend
on the opinions of the Senators and
Representatives who listened to the evi-
dence and wrote the reports. 1t lies in
the collection of evidence and relevant
data which the committee assembled.
At best, these Senators and Representa-
tlves are military and naval amateurs
and amateur historians. But what they
brought together may be assessed by
experts, now that it has been brought
together. 1t is both a source book OF
great value and directory of the data
that was omitted. The Pearl Harbor
inquiry was worth making from that
standpoint alone u

Loeqting the HOSPITAL

The Star does not believe there
can be any real controversy between
offlcials of the Veterans Bureau and
those of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the
Fine Arts Commission over appro-
pirate design of a veterans hospital
on the Nevius tract.
If there is one, it should be quickly
resolved. For if the Veterans Ad-
minlstration, through the Corps of
Engineers, cannot arrange for the
design Of building which meets the
requirements of a hospital and at
the same time conforms to esthetic
standards which this unusual site
requires, the site will have to be
abandoned. Under law and execu-
tive orders the Planning Commission
and the Fine Arts Commission must
approve the design of any Govern
ment building erected on this site,
and their responsibility is to prevent
any development there which would
detract from the surroundings and.
In a larger sense, mar the Washing
ton plan.
AS a matter of ironical fact, the
jurisdiction of the Planning and
Fine Arts Commissions extends to
the Nevius site only so long as it is
used for Government development.
A commercial structure would be
free of such control. And the erec-
ton OF a commercial structure on
this site-which long ago should
have been acquired by the Govern
ment to assure its development in
keeping with the surrounding area,
with specific attention to protection
of the Virginia background and the
Lincoln Memorial-would be a re-
grettable departure from the Wash
tngton plan.
AS National Government agencies,
therefore, it is highly desirable that
representatives of the Veterans Bu-
reau, Park and Planning Commits
sion and Fine Arts Commission find
the means to agree, and such agree
ment shoulds not be difficult. . 1t
would, moreover, offer a sound solu-
ton of the problem represented in
the clash of interests between the
Arlington County and National Gov
ernment authorities over eventual
use of the site, now privately owned.
For revenue-raising purposes, be-
cause of its tax value, commercial
development of the Nevius tract is
desired by Arlington County. The
sentiment in Arlington County
against continued Federal encroach-
ment, which removes producing
property to the exempt list, is well
understood in Washington, where
only half the real estate is now
taxable. Furthermore, Arlington
County officials are desirous of some
bigh-class hotel apartment develop
ment-such as discussed for the
Nevius tract-as a benefit to the
county.
In the case of the Nevius tract,
county officials, while requesting the
Veterans Bureau to exhaust the pos
sibilities of other available sites,
have taken the commendable posi-.
ton that they will not fight the
location there of a veterans hos
pital. From the national standpoint,
certainly, the site should be used for
public rather than private purposes.
Failure to find such use will con-
tinue to threaten, by undesirable
commercial development, an area of
the Federal City and its environs
which should be dedicated in per-
petuity to public use

you want to or not"
Megan drew a long breath and
said quietly, II don't think so, Dad.
The place was left to us jointly;
neither can sell without the consent
of the other. / am certain that
l can't be forced to accept deal
that you and Matthews have cooked
up without even consulting me-"
"Well, perhaps not" he admitted
reluctantly. "But of course, we will
have to pay him his commission,
even though the sale doesn't go
through, since it was our fault
yours, rather-and not his, that it
did fall"
"And his commission is ten per
cent" said Megan quietly. "That's
seven hundred dollars"
She stared at her father in de-
spair, but he merely extended his
cup for more coffee and said pleas
antly, $50 / think it would be much
better if we just let the sale go

any appetite for the dinner Annie
had prepared while she sat on the
Ridge and reached the decision not
to sell the old farm. "Maybe Lau-
renee can figure way out"
'The only way out, if you are
stubborn enough not to sell, is to
pay Matthews seven hundred dol
lars" her father assured her grim
ly, looking at her with angry sus-
picion. "And if you've got seven
hundred dollars available, to be
thrown away like that, it will sur
prise me lot-after I've been kept
practically penniless for longer than
care to remember"
II haven't exactly found it diff
cult to spend what little money I've
had either" she answered him with
spirit. "And as for having seven
hundred dollars on hand to pay
Matthews-that's a little bit funny" !"
SIS it? / hope it's joke you'll
enjoy" said her father as he thrust
back his chair, and leaving his
breakfast half eaten, went out. She
heard the outer door close hard be-
hind him.
Megan sat on for little at the
table, though her appetite for food
had long since vanished; and then
with sudden decision she got up and
went to the telephone and called
Laurence in Meadersville.
His voice sounded warm and
cheerful and eager, as though he
was delighted to hear her say,
Larry, this is Megan-Tm in a
JAM"
"Not you, darling" he countered
gaily. 81 don't believe it-you're
covering for somebody else"
"Well, perhaps-in a way" she
admitted reluctantly. Then as brief
ly as she could, she related her IA
theirs conversation with Matthews.
When she had finished, she asked
anxiously, do I have to pay Mat
thews' commission, even if the sale
does not 60 through!
"Not unless you and your father
both signed the papers with him
authorizing him to make the sale, "
Laurence assured her promptly.
"Thank goodnessl" said Megan
youthfully.
The night was superb. A full
moon, silver-white in pale blue
sky, rode high, and beneath the thick
dark of the shrubbery on the lawn
and the ancient live oaks, the shad-
ows were like soft black plush. Me-
gan's room was flooded with the
silver-white light when she awoke,
and she lay still for moment,
puzzled to know why she had awak-
ened. And then the sound came
again, a knocking at the kitchen
door downstairs, a knocking soft,
urgent, repeated, insistent.
With her heart hammering with
sudden uneasiness. she slid out OF
bed, thrust her feet into her slip

thought 1t over a long time. She loved
the old farm, every rock and every

The inVolvemerts that follow put considerable pressure on her manager and on Joyce Struthers who is engaged to Bud, but it all irons out in this delft daft satire on Hollywood glamour girls.

US. Lines
 FIy200,000 Mile Routes

Washington, Aug. 19.-CUP)- United States airlines have been authorized to fly approximately 200,- 900 miles of international air routes radiating from 21 U. S. cities to every area of the world, a survey showed today.
 Thirteen airlines hold franchises for these routes, extending into some SO foreign countries and col- onial areas.
 Now it is up to the State Depart ment to make operation of all these routes possible by negotiating land ing rights agreements. This al- ready has been done with most Eu- ropean and Middle East countries. The toughest jobs lie ahead in Asia and Latin America.
 Pan America Given Permit
 The Civil Aeronautics Board com pleted the route pattern proposed in 1914 when it awarded Pan Amer ican Airways two routes to South Africa.
 It previously had granted permits for routes across the north Atlantic, Pacific and to Latin America.
 From New York, Boston, Phila- delphia, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, three airlines-Pan Ameri- can Overseas and Trans World now fly the Atlantic
 But American overseas is stopped at Berlin and Stockholm because there is no agreement with Russia, The same factor prevents Pan American from flying through the Balkans And both Pan American and VIVA are untable to start ser- vice to India because there is no agreement.
 Get Latin American Rights
 American airlines, Braniff Air ways, Chicago and Southern Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, National Airlines and Western Air Lines have been awarded Latin American routes in competition with Pan American, which has obtained additional grants there.
 In the same proceeding, CAB granted Colonial Airlines a route from Washington and New York to Bermuda.
 U. s. cities affected by the new Latin routes are Fl Paso, San An tonio, Fort Worth-Dallas, Houston, Laredo, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, New Orleans, Miami, Tampa. Wash ington, New York, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Teachers In Renewal Of Salary Fight
 Committee to Await
 On Board This
 Evening

A delegation from the Waterbury Teachers Association, which has att tended Board of Education meet ings regularly for the past few months, is scheduled to appear be- fore the board again tonight to renew request Tor revision of the teachers salary schedule.
 The association has asked the board to adopt single salary plan, whereby teachers would be paid in accordance with the amount of their training. A specific salary schedule has been drawn up by the associa- tion in connection with the pro- poSal.
 Several meetings have been held by members of the board with the associations committee, but no in- dication has been given what prog ress has been made to revise the current salary program.
 Indications were that the teach CTS unit will increase its pressure for the revision during the next few weeks, with the approach of the Sept. 15 deadline for filing of next years budget by the board.
 The Waterbury Principals Asso- citation, which also has asked for salary reyisions, is also expected to be represented at tonight's meet ing.
 Many new teacher appointments and transfers are expected to be made by the board tonight. The meeting will be held at 8 PM. st Crosby High School.

CeIIer Sees Congress OK On DPS Plan
Defends Proposal For Immigration M Europeans

Washington, Aug. 1e.-(UP)-Rep. Emanuel Celler, (D.-N. Y) predicted today that the next Congress will approve President Truman's plan to permit immigration of a limited number of displaced Europeans.
 In a statement, Cener said he was certain that in the final test more than majority of members (of Congress- will vote for the Pres ident's humanitarian proposal"
 Before leaving Friday on an 18- day cruise in Atlantic waters, the President said he planned to asl, Congress for special legislation to permit a fixed number" of the displaced persons, principally Jews, to enter the United States. His proposal was made to alleviate. in part, the boiling Palestine situation.
 Defends Immigration
 Our land has always been an asylum for the oppressed of all lands" Celler said. "A mere trickle of immigrants amidst 10000 900 people would not put our economy out of kilter.
 Winaht SHRDL UU UNU
 Indeed the talents, the ingenuity. the artistry, the wisdom, the will to work and the sacrifice of these im- migrants would encourage that economy.
 They would become citizens by choice-not by birth. That would all the more make them understand and cherish our liberties and insti- tutions"
 Celler took vigorous issue with a statement made Saturday by Rep. John E. Rankin, (D.-Miss), who suggested that refugees already in the United States be sent back where they came from.
 Rankin Reaction Expected
 Noting that "real' congressional opinion has not yet been sampled on the Presidents immigration plan, Cellar said that of course the gen. tleman from Mississippi (Rankin) would screech No "
 Instead he yells deportation" Celler added. With him there is usually much outcry with little out come.
 He does not reflect the true views of the Congressmen and Sen- ators."
 Celler indicated that the Presi- dent had in mind the admission of | approximately 5000 displaced Eu- ropeans. Such proposal has been made to the president, by a special cabinet committee on Palestine.
