For Voluntary Training


To the Editor of The Star:
The thoughts expressed herein come from
one, experienced in military training, who Is
heartily in favor of our young manhood having
it in the traditional American way.
The founders OF our country contemplated
land of free men. For true vision and strong
conviction leading to decent, worthwhile living
no group of men have surpassed them before
or since their time.
Forced, regimented military training Of all our
youth would be no solution of the atomic bomb
threat A few scientists conceived and developed
this frightful instrument and they will have to
devise means of control. Fear of the bomb Is
futile and impotent, viewed in any light.
Our country has always arisen to any need or
emergency of its own free will and accord with
out permanent control and dictation, DEATH
dealing to the spirit of America. The pattern
should be for the vast majority, rather than
for few irresponsible citizens.
Adequate military training, together with
vocational training could be accomplished for
less money if some of the taxpayers money
were allotted to good military schools, so boys
tuition would be $3.50 or $500 year, rather
than $500 or $1,000. as is now the case.
The vast majority Of our youth would recos-
nize good cause and avail themselves OF the
opportunity and strain on the "old man would
be less. Individuality and initiative are I'M
portant unlike compulsion.

Call for Senate Action

The House of Representatives having
voted to admit Hawaii to the Union, 1t is
to be hoped that the Senate will find time
and opportunity to welcome the forty
ninth State before adjournment. NO
reason now exists why this action should
be postponed. Statehood was promised to
the Hawaiian people half century ago;
they have qualified for it in the greatest
war in history; simple justice dictates that
the pledge should be kept to people
abundantly deserving of the full privileges
and obligations of citizenship.
The notion that the Hawaiian Islands
are overly distant from the mainland no
longer is tenable. In terms of hours OF
travel they are nearer to Washington today
than Maine and Florida were when they
were granted admission. Similarly, 1t is
useless to argue that because of their poly
racial character the people OF Hawaii
should be kept IN a dependent status.
Their loyalty, their patriotism, their
capacity for working together have been
demonstrated under conditions of the most
exacting nature.
But admission to the Union will not be
a one-sided affair. The Nation as whole
will be advantaged by the closer adherence
of Hawaii Both in the eyes of the world
at large and in the islands the fulflllment
of the promise of 1898 will be regarded
as a proof of good faith.
Senate consideration of the bill which
Evening star., 1947-07-02
A Necessary Safeguard

The joint request by the State, War and
Navy Departments and by the Atomic
Energy Commission for authority to dis
miss instantly and without explanation
any employe suspected of disloyalty is
not an unreasonable one. Nor is the power
sought new and untried extension OF
administrative authority. The Secretaries
of War and Navy have been vested with
such arbitrary dismissal powers since 1910,
under an emergency law, and the Secre-
tary of State was given similar authority
by the McCarran rider to the 1947 appro
priation bill.
These admittedly great discretionary
powers were examined by the Presidents
Commission on Employe Loyalty and found
to be necessary in the interest OF national
security In its report to Mr.. Truman the
commission declared that there are com
pelling reasons" why the State, War and
Navy Departments and the Atomic Energy
Commission should be granted perma-
nently the right to GUST "summarily' any
employe whose presence might endanger
the Nation. These more sensitive" agen-
cies require special authority, the commits
ment from the destructive influence of dis
loyal or subversive persons" In its report
the commission repeatedly called attention
to the disclosures in the Canadian espio-
mage inquiry as evidencing the need for
stricter precautions against subversive in
filtration of Federal departments.
Because the authority for summary dis
missal is so broad, it is essential, of course,
that it be invoked with the greatest care,
lest there be abuses of the witch-hunting
type. The Secretaries of the three de-
partments and the director of the Atomic
Energy Commission should delegate this
authority to no subordinate. If, in fact,
the security of the country Is at stake
in any case arising under the proposed law,
the matter merits the full attention of
the topmost official. He has the supreme
responsibility for protecting both the
integrity of the Government and the rights
of the employees. The only conflict between
the two will be when a question of dis
loyalty arises-and then he should have
full authority to resolve the question in
favor of the Government If necessity
requires.

Troubled France

:: The news dispatches from France are
hard to interpret, these days. The solemn
announcement by Edouard Depreux, Min
lister of the Interior that plot of right
wing reactionaries has been discovered is
certainly pat. 1t fits in amazingly well
with the present cabinets middle the
road program, championing French de-
mocracy against assaults of Communists
and ex-collaborationists alike. The dis
covery of plots seems to be standard polit-
ical procedure in Europe, these days, for
shaky regimes, even where, as in Hungary,
a Prime Minister is accused of having
plotted against himself!
We are told that collection of RoyalistS,
Petainists and Cagoulards, or hooded
ones" schemed to overthrow the republic
and establish military dictatorship to
avert similar coup d'etat by the Com
munists to set up Red dictatorship. Now
it may we'll be that, in the almost psyche
pathic state of French national psychology
today, such hare-brained movement was
Matched. The question, however, still re-
mains as to whether 1t merited the official
publicity given it at this precise moment.
1t is interesting to observe that M. Depreux
explicitly exculpates General de Gaulle
and his followers from any completely with
the plot. But De Gaulle is supposed to be
the mainstay of conservative resistance to
communism Hence, the logical inference
that the French government made the
most of good opportunity to publicize its
devotion to French ideals.
What is perhaps more significant is the
plan announced by Premier Ramadier for
the formation of cabinet of national
salvation" as the last chance to save
France from galloping imitation. This plan
envisages a revamping OF the present
coalition representation, with the addi-
ton of certain outstanding leaders from
those groups, including notably the Social
list veteran, Leon Blum. Indeed, the key
note of the new program would be a
revival of M. Rlum's original scheme for a
freezing of wages and prices. The hope
is that M: Blum's prestige would enable
the government to make headway against
the epidemic of strikes which is putting
in jeopardy its present "hold-the-line"
policy. Many, If not most, OF those strikes
seem to be inspired or encouraged by the
Communists, who, since their election from
the cabinet, have been doing their best
to make the government unavoidable.
All this political pother in France today
should, of course, be read against the larger
background of Soviet Russian ambitions to
dominate Europe and the resistance of the
United States and Britain to such an
eventuality France is inevitably key
point in the struggle. The next moves
in French politics will undoubtedly be

Republican Stroteeists
Search for Two Rabbits
Hope for Action on Tax Reduction and
Minimum Wage Law
By Doris FseSon

Republican strategists hope to pull two rab-
bits out Of the congressional hat before ad-
journment. One is tax bill. The other is
minimum wage legislation.
They are having to wait on the House for
taxes. They figure on the Senate for quick
incubation Of a minimum wage statute whose
ehects-they hope-w1ll counteract the prop
ertied flavor of their recent legislation curbing
labor. raising rents. helping railroads and
supporting wool prices.
Senator Baldwin of Connecticut is also max
ing strenuous efforts behind the scenes to
convince the leadership that they must enact
housing relief. But the leaders incline to the
view that it's waste motion because the House
will refuse to go along.
Housing will probably end up with educa-
tion, medical aid and similar bills in one
bundle marked 1948. The more cynical add
the phrase, "just before election" In any case
this group Is destined for pious promises and
no more at this session.
The activity on the tax bill merits the over
worked adjective of frenzied. Unoficial polls,
according to an informed source, now show
that 81 votes stand ready to override a presi-
dental veto, three short of the necessary IS.
Senator Byrd Joins Drive.
Working with the Republicans is Senator
Byrd of Virginia who has exacted the con-
cession of comparable budget economies.
Democratic Senators being asked to pledge
themselves to override veto are also told the
tax cuts in a new measure will not be oper-
ative until January next. 1t is argued by
some among them that this represents a sub
stantial victory for President Truman who will
be able by reason of his original veto to apply
four billions on the debt
The House will certainly vote to override n
tax veto. That it did not do so before was due
to a tactical blunder by Majority Leader Hal
leck. Overconhdent Of the result, Halleck did
not order a quorum call prior to the actual vote
being taken; the result was that many members
who could have been produced during the time
consumed by the quorum call were not present
to vote.
1t was not too material-the Senate would
not have overridden that veto But the poll
takers now claim things are coming their way.
1t is candidly admitted that the dark horse
minimum wages-is escaping from the stable
due to sober second thought about the rightist
pattern of the Republican product so far.

Thirteen Is a Lucky Number

Twelve years ago the Board of Education
smashed precedent and for the first time
in its history elected a woman as its pres
ident At the time The Star suggested
editorially that gallantry had nothing to
do with it, In Mrs. Henry Grafton Doyles
election the Board of Education was fol-
lowing the dictates of its intelligence,
though its heart was in it, too.
1t is hard to believe, looking back over
Mrs. Doyle's twelve years as president and
reading the news of her election this week
for the thirteenth time, that the board
could have made wiser choice. She has
been so consistently able, so thoroughly
understanding, so alert to the needs OF the
community, as we'll as to the needs OF the
schools in meeting them, that the position
she graces has attained distinction all its
own in Washington. Under her direction,
the Board of Education has justified the
soundness of the principle of independent
citizens boards when manned by the right
type of citizens. The teachers have found
in Mrs. Doyle an effective champion, for
she was herself teacher The parents
know that Mrs. Doyle understands their
point of view, for Mrs. Doyle is an emf
nently successful parent. And the citizen
knows that Mrs. Doyle is looking out for
his interests, for she is, herself, one of the
most useful citizens that the Washington
community has produced.
Twelve years ago The Star congratulated
the board and the community on MIS-
Doyle's first election 1t repeats the sentl-
ments on the occasion of this, her choice
by the board for the thirteenth time.

Small Number of Protests

To the Editor Of the Star.
In the weeks of discussion pre- ceding the
passage and the veto of the Taft-Hartley bill,
the White House claims to have received .
large number of letters cards and kilograms
expressing disapproval. but the number ad-
mittedly is far less than one million. Now
with about $4,000 600 members claimed by the
larger unions alone, why were such compare
lively small number of protests received? Can
it be that the majority of members are tired OF
bondage under the unions and unlike Mr.. Tru-
man approve this bill? The polls taken by
various organizations showed this to be the
case. A. w. LARMAN.
