On Second Thouqht

The Ahoskie North Carolina) Kiwanis
Club, on taking second thought and appar-
emily under some prodding from the pres
ident of Kiwanis international, has decided
to present new automobile to Negro war
veteran who was dealt out of the prize in
a recent club rattle.
The Negro held the winning ticket on a
new Cadillac being raffled by the club "for
the benefit of the underprivileged." When
the committee in charge learned that the
winner was colored, however, its members
belatedly came up with rule to the effect
that the rattle was for white people only.
They held a second drawing, and presented
the prize to doctor. This exceedingly
shabby performance finally came to light
as result Of an indignant editorial in the
Elizabeth North oaroaina} Independent.
And as the heat began to be turned on, the
Kiwanis committee called meeting and
announced that it had decided to buy an
other Cadillac and present 1t to the original
winner.
This at least removes the element Of
flimfam from the original handling Of
the incident. Unfortunately, even with
the benefit Of second thought, those re-
sponsible for this affair cannot remove the
clear evidence that they were willing to
take unconscionable advantage of a man
simply because of his race The display of
healthy indignation which followed ex-
posure of the attempt, however, is an
encouraging sign of the times
Evening star., 1947-07-17
LOOKING for q Practical Solution

Testifying before the Auchincloss Sub
committee yesterday on District Gov
ernment reorganization, General U. S.
Grant III prefaced his statement with
this observation:
So = In my opinion the people of the District
of Columbia are very much more concerned
with the obtaining of a vote in national elec-
tions and some sort of representation in Con-
gress than they are in any special degree of
autonomy in their local government The
essential need for a change in the latter seems
to me to be due more to certain amount of
ineffectiveness in 1t and the large number OF
municipal problems which Congress is now
called upon to resolve.
With this approach in mind, General
Grant is able to relieve himself of the
problem of attempting, through local gov
ernment reorganization alone, to satisfy
the healthy and natural aspirations of good
Americans for an effective voice in their
Government. He recognizes that anything
short of voting representation in Congress
and national elections will not remove the
disgraceful anomaly of taxation without
representation "in the Capital of the. out
standing government of the world repre-
senting democracy"
But there are practical methods of rem
edying some of the "inefectivenesS" of
local government, of relieving Congress of
much local legislative trivia and of giving
Washingtonians greater voice in local
government than they have now-without
affecting congressional control over the
Seat of Government. He suggests how
these things might be done.
His proposal is novel. Yet he believes
that it would represent natural transition
from the present form of government,
dating from 1878, with minimum Of con-
fusion. An appointed Governor and an
appointed Commissioner of Public Works,
an elected Commissioner of Education and
Public Welfare and City Council of eleven
members, seven of whom would be elected,
with Controller appointed by the Cover
nor by and with consent of the Council,
would compose the governing body. With
some changes, most of the independent
boards would continue to function as they
do now. General Grant does not share
the views that citizen boards are without
value. Protection of the Federal interest,
with assignment of definite responsibility
and the delegation by Congress OF some of
It's governing functions, would be accom-
plished.
The proposal is interesting and worth
the careful study Of the Auchincloss sub
committee. 1t does not make the mistake
Of attempting to apply principles of charter
government to Washington that are found
in the normal American community For
Washington is unique. 1t presents prob
lens found nowhere else in the United
States. Special treatment is called for.
General Grants proposal contains a lot
of common sense and offers basis of
approach that does not confuse some local
voting rights for Washingtonians with the
fundamental right of .Washingtonians to
be represented in their own Government,
which is the Government Of the United
States.
Evening star., 1947-07-17

minds, as to what they were about and
went on to state his Interpretation of the
disputed points. Since Molotov did not
dispute Marshall's contention, the logical
presumption was that the renewed discus
sions would be based upon Marshall's In
depreciation.
However, logic has scant place in Soviet
diplomacy. So, when the Joint commits
sion reconvened on May 81, it soon became
clear that the Soviet delegates had not
budged an inch from their previous de-
mands and interpretations. And when
the American delegates objected, utter
deadlock again ensued. This fragrant
breach of every agreement has just been
scathingly exposed by Major General
Albert E. Brown, head of the American
delegation who accuses the Russians of
unilaterally exercising veto power for
which there is NO justification and of gen.
orally refusing to come to any decision
through mutual agreement"
There the matter stands today Although
the. commission is still technically con-
vened, the indications are that the dead
lock is again unbreakable. Once again,
Moscow has shown that it will "play ball"
only on its own terms.

SPOTTED Fever Inoculations

To the Editor Of The Star:
The situation concerning Rocky Mountain
spotted fever shots is interesting, If only as an
indication of the need for socialized medicine.
To illustrate efforts have been made by men,
bers Of the Office force Of the Government
agency for which I work to obtain these In
oculations for themselves and their families
at q reasonable cost. Net results are these:
The serum (Which, according to the news
papers, is manufactured by the Government at
Government expense) is obtainable by doctors
free OF charge. 1t is not available to the gen.
eral public. So far as can be determined, no
free or inexpensive means Of obtaining these
inoculations are available either in the Dis
trict or in Virginia.
The M DIS, even though obtaining the serum
free. charge $40 for series of three inocu-
lations The time Of administering each is
only few moments. For family of five, the
cost would be $50 Most family groups would
have to take chance Of infection, as they
could not afford this drain on the family
budget

EQUATIONS u indicated. N p. ].
