Rudur for AirIines

The eagerness with which air
traffic controllers here and elsewhere
are awaiting radar installations will
be accentuated by the effectiveness
of the electronic scanning device in
demonstrations at Andrews Field.
Control operators at Washington
National Airport are looking forward
to early completion of radar in
stallations of several types. They
could have made good use OF the
apparatus, for instance, on a night
not long ago when sudden sleet
and snowstorm closed in on the area
and forced number of commercial
and other planes to make forced
landings elsewhere AS it was, the
control tower crew "sweated out"
seven emergency landings which
might have been made with relative
ease had radar been available.
The radar system being installed
here and at several other well-known
airports-including New York's La
Guardia and Newfoundland's ILL
starred Gander Field-does not re-
quire radar equipment In the planes
themselves. The basic unit is what
the Army and Navy know as GCA,
or Ground Control Approach. A
radar scanning device pictures the
approaching plane on screen in
the control tower. so that the pilot
can be talked in" to safe landing.
In addition, the local airport will
have a powerful AAF@radar set ca
pable of seeing" planes in fog, storm
or darkness as far away as 100 or
more miles.
The impatience with which airport
officials await these. radar instru-
ments is understandable. The slow
progress made in equipping airports
with such valuable safety devices is
said to be attributable largely to
delays in production of the compli-
Gated equipment, as modified for
peacetime uses. Although the addi-
ton of radar to commercial plane
equipment would no doubt provide
a greater measure of insurance
against blind landing accidents, the
weight and cost of the airborne set
have been deterrent to its adop-
ton. It is logical to expect that
eventually. however, planes as well
as airports will be radar equipped,
in response to public demand for
greater safety in flying.

Teachers Poy Unity

however Well-lnLenJlOneQ, the Qe-
veloping movement to seek from
Congress a teachers pay schedule
more liberal than the one already
approved by the Board of Educa-
ton, the superintendent of schools
and most of the teachers organi-
cations is extremely ill-advised. If
pressed too vigorously, the inevi-
table result will be disunity among
the teachers, the same sort of dis
unity that delayed passage of the
$3.50 pay raise until the closing days
of the Seventy-ninth Congress.
1t was largely as result of that
conflict and confusion that Congress
instructed school authorities to
make a comprehensive study of
teachers salaries in Washington,
with view to presenting to the new
Congress a coherent, precise pay
program for the entire system. This
study was carried out in effective
manner by the Legislative Council,
which includes representatives OF
forty-four teachers and school Off
GERS groups. The final report of the
superintendent to the Board of
Education was based almost entirely
on the communications of the
teachers organizations. All OF the
teachers were given opportunity at
a public hearing to criticize or other
wise comment on the report. With
very few exceptions the pay recon-
mendations submitted to the board
: were hailed as satisfactory.
Despite this general unity in sup
port of the boards program, Sen
ator McCarran has announced his
intention of seeking congressional
approval of schedule providing
for even higher starting salaries
than the $2,500 recommended In
the school report and for annual
step-ups of 5000 instead of 500. The
boards schedule would place local
teachers in the very top rank of the
Nations teachers as regards pay
and promotion. Senator McC Carran's
proposal would lift them higher still.
There is Justification for the con-
tention that Washington's teachers
should be model for those OF the
remainder of the country, both with
respect to pay and teaching stand
ards. In seeking to attain this goal,
however, the hard realities of the
situation require that some consid-
Grafton be given to cost Of the un-
dertaking to the community-a fact
easy to lose sight of in the COM
mendable enthusiasm of aiding the
teachers.
Because of the serious financial
plight of the District, it will be diff
cult enough as it is to find ways
and means of paying for the $780,
900 cost of the pay-increase plan
recommended by the Board of Edu-
cation. The best hope of the teach
ers and those who demand that they
receive Just and fair reward for
their important work lies in pre-
senting to Congress united front
in behalf of a sound and well-con-
sidered program. Anything short of
that may do the cause more harm

Soviet Union Menace to Peace
To the Editor of The Star:
sAll this talk about war with Russia
is just nonsense, because she would
not last 30 days in a war with us. Rus
STA today is just nightmare. Her
cities are shambles' even Stalirgrad
is gutted. The Germans marched right
up to the gates of Moscow and laid
waste everything.
Russia is brave, indeed, against help
less small nations. What would have
happened If Germany had fought RUS
sia alone?
Russia was on her knees begging for
a second front. When we won the war,
thankless Russia sent her spies into
Canada and the United States to I'M
dermine our Government and acquire
atomic, bomb secrets.
If some naive Americans lived tor
two months in Russia, they would ap-
preciate our country.
No wonder foreign correspondents are
barred from Russia, where poverty,
tyranny and distress stalk abroad, while
per cent of the population keep the
masses of the people in slavery.
We never must forget that Russia
signed protocol with Hitler while
Poland was fighting with her back to
the wall.
Russian conduct is characterized by
treachery, col.asioa and duplicity. The
Soviet Union is the only obstacle to
world peace aday.
Let us hope the people of Russia soon
will free themselves from their bond

Dissents From Football Editorial
To the Editor Of The star
May disagree venemently with the
editorial suggestion that "the only sem
sible solution" of the Davis-Blanchard
foothallrleave applications by the War
Department is to grant them?
I can think of no more outrageous
application of the speciai-priyilege
principle than acquiescence in such a
request.
And. when they give it a second
thought, I am sure Glenn Davis and
Doc Blanchard themselves will rue the
weak moment in which they thought
of football before country.
How about at least this much de-
emphasis on football? And, more inn
portantly, how about encouraging
youngsters TO live up to their agree
n1ents? J. G.

people mistakenly 1nSlSt-to restrain one
of the great powers by the military
force of the others. If 1t comes to that,
the world is at war and the declared
purpose of the Charter has failed of
accomplishment.
1t is true, as Mr.. Krock says, that
Article 81 is a reservation against the
ideal operation of the Charter" We may
wish that we had reached the stage
when we could depend on "the ideal
operation Of the Charter" to give us full
security. But we have not. and we must
therefore take the reservations into ac-
workable agreement on the international
control and inspection of atomic energy
which would be otherwise unattainable,
by all means let us not refuse our cake
because we cannot have frosting on 1t,
too.
There is, after all, something to be
said for the moral force of collective
world opinion, when expressed through
such a medium as the Security Council.
No one proposes to put all our reliance
on Article 81 and the right OF self-de-
fense. But the Charter itself, and the
system Of international cooperation
which has grown up under it, are tender
shoots as yet, not yet sturdy and reliable
supports upon which we can depend In
all conceivable emergencies. That was
the reason for reservations such as
Article 81. It Is still the reason why We
should make due and proper Use of tf1osa
reservations to accomplish the purposes
Of the Charter while still retaining
reasonable precautions against Its fall

NATIONAL RED CROSS
CONVENTION IN
CLEVELAND

American Red Cross chapters
throughout the nation will have
far greater voice in the organi-
zation's policies and humanitari-
an program after the National
Red Cross Convention at Cleve-
Land Public Hall, June 9-12.
Albert M. Higley, Chairman
of the Greater Cleveland Chap
ter which will serve as conven-
ton host, made this known to-
day. He said National Chairman
Basil O'Connor has announced
that three-fifths OF the national
governing body hereafter will
be drawn from chapters. Recent
amendments to the Red Cross
charter, passed by Congress and
signed by President Truman,
make it possible.
Revisions of the Red Cross
national charter constitute the
first major change in the organi-
zation's basic structure since
1905. They are in line with rec
concentrations made by a ma
tional advisory committee ap-
pointed by Chairman O'Connor.
The main purpose is to give Red
Cross chapters far greater rep
resentation in management and
control of the national organiza-
ton, Mr.. Higley pointed out.
Twenty-seven outstanding COM
munity leaders from all sections
of the country comprised the ad-
visory committee, headed by E.
Roland Hartman of New York.

U.S.A.Y.C. OBSERVES
FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Recollections of the founding
of the first Slovene American
Youth Group in greater Cleve-
land, bring fond memories to
charter members of this now &C.
tive group.
It was with anticipation of a
united youth group in this city,
that prompted Eleanor Kline to
contact several young people
and invite them to a meeting a
year ago at the Slovene Work
mems Home on Waterloo Rd.
At the initial meeting there
were only six young men and
women present. Of these, four
represented the Collinwood dis
trict, while two hailed from the
St. Clair district. Following an
informal meeting, the possibili-
ties of the formation of an ac-
tive youth group were discussed,
and plans formed to mark the
group as the first representative
body of youth whose aim was,
along with social gatherings and
educational program, to aid the
desperate youth of their par
ents' homeland. Thus started the
United Slovene American Youth
Club of Cleveland. Although the
active membership is about Is,
the group has shown much prog
ress during it's year of exist
ence.
AS we review the past, we
find that the main purpose of
the group is to keep youth of
Slav origin united. Their first
gesture in aiding Jugoslav
youth, was the proposal to,
