Mr. Burke meanwhile returns to the
branch Of the department in which he
was engaged as Deputy First Assistant
from 1888 to 1885. He knows the work
thoroughly from having dealt with it when
Senator Joseph c. OMahoney of Wyoming
occupied the position to which he now
advances. Nothing novel in the way OF
changes is expected. Mr.. Burke will carry
on the routine already in effect Such will
be his duty and he can be relied upon to
meet its every requirement with efficiency.
His tenure as city postmaster was period
of tremendous expansion. Whoever takes
over locally will have the benefit Of his
example as well as his counsel and advice.
This represents an advantage to the whole
community.
During his fourteen years here, Mr..
Burke has become genuine Washing
tonian. He is a good neighbor. sharing
generously in many enterprises OF civic,
social and philanthropic character. His
popularity, like his good fortune in his
country's employment, has been deserved.

pakistan, many Of whom volunteered to
help their Kashmiri brethren.
At this point new complication arose
in the shape of wild tribesmen from the
northwest border with Afghanistan. Devout
Moslems, their religious fanaticism was
coupled with lust for loot. And they had
gotten entirely out Of hand since the
disappearance of British rule, which had
kept them relatively quiet by a mixture
of the firm hand and subsidies to mitigate
their chronic poverty.
The chief complaint of the Indian
spokesmen before the Security Council is
that Pakistan has not restrained these
tribesmen but has abetted them in their
incursions into Kashmir. Yet there is
evidence to the effect that the Pakistan
government could not restrain the tribes
men even If 1t SO wished. The Pakistan
spokesman seeks to broaden the issue by
placing it against the entire background
of the native states problem. Here,
surely, would seem to be an opportunity
for statesmanlike action.

PUG Duplication

The Capital Transit Companys petition
for extension of the Washington area
commercial zone within which the inter-
state Commerce Commission foregoes rate
control indicates the difficulties which
come from divided public utility authority.
The company now must reckon with the
District Public Utilities Commission and
the Maryland Public Service Commission
every time it proposes route or rate
changes on lines crossing the Maryland
boundary. If it should wish to extend It's
Maryland lines even short distance
beyond the Washington area zone estab-
lished by the ICC ten years ago, it would
have to deal with a third regulatory body
the ICC.
But that is not all. If proposed
regulation under consideration by the 1CC
should be adopted, all local commercial
vehicles buses to small delivery
trucks-would be required to comply with
the ICC safety code If they ve1tured across
the District line That code, adopted Tor
interstate carriers, would be superimposed
on the already comprehensive and strictly
enforced safety regulations of the District
wholly unnecessary duplication of safety
codes and safety enforcement. The Cap
ital Transit Company and local delivery
interests justifably are opposing this
extension of ICC authority into an area
essentially metropolitan and local.
All of this gives force to arguments in
behalf of one overall public utilities COM
mission, independent of existing Federal
and local agencies, to handle problems
which, though technically cutting across
State boundaries, are of concern only to
residents of the Washington Metropolitan
Area. The ICC should not be burdened
with purely local problems affecting this
area And carriers and utilities operating
within the area should not be regulated
by several diverse commissions, with
varying codes, regulations and policies.
Congress should look into this perplexing
situation. 1t could start the ball rolling
by initiating an interstate compact for
Metropolitan Area PUG. empowered to
handle so-called Interstate" cases jointly
affecting Washington and its spreading
suburban communities in Maryland and
Virginia.

Our Aid and Bases

Secretary Marshall has taken wise and
timely action in issuing formal state
ment emphatically denying that the
United States intends to seek military
bases in return for the economic aid it
Recovery Program.
Twisted reports to the contrary have
been circulating abroad, and they could
create lot of mischief If allowed to go
uncontradicted. Nothing could be of
greater help to Soviet propagandists try
ing to sell the h-butchering line that
the ERP is designed to undermine the
sovereignty Of the participating nations
and serve the ends of American "imperi-
alists" bent on war and world domination.
OF course, to insure its maximum eff
fectiveness, the ERP will be based on
certain important conditions Each re-
cipient country, for example, probably
will have a bilateral agreement with us
to do such things as stabilize currencies
or provide us with materials for our
strategic stockpiles. But every precaution
will be taken-or ought to be taken-to
avoid measures impinging on national

of an American desire to exact excessive
concessions or to boss the world.
It may be that we need more bases than
we have now. It may be-though it
seems doubtful-that we have enough
trained manpower and equipment to
operate several new ones. The fact re-
mains, however, that the acquisition of
them must be considered entirely apart
from the European Recovery Program.
The purpose of that program is to pro-
mote our own economic well-being and
security not by accumulating military
real estate but by helping Western Europe
to regain it's strength and remain free.
Given success in that, given the comeback
of our friends abroad, we can be reason
ably sure that bases will be available to
us in the future if we and the rest of the
democratic world need them.
Secretary Marshall has done well, In
any case, to make Enthusiastically clear that
we are not going to bargain for them with
our aid under ERP. The point merits the
strongest possible emphasis. We have to
be on guard against playing into the

The Kushmir Case Before u. N.

The Security Council Of the United
Nations has a real opportunity for con-
structive craftsmanship in its handling OF
the Kashmir case that has been laid
before it. It is to be hoped that the
councils deliberations and decision will
take into account the equities as well as
the legalities of situation not only
explosive in itself but capable of setting
a wise precedent for similar situations in
India which already exist and may soon
become acute.
Kashmir is exhibit A" in a whole
category of anomalies caused by the dis
appearance of British rule. These are the
native states" which enjoyed autonomy
under the British RAJ" Numbering sew
eral hundred, large and small, these
states formed an irregular mosaic set into
the background of British-ruled India,
with which they were not organically con-
nected Their native sovereigns owed
allegiance only to the King Emperor and
they did much as they pleased within their
own confines.
Obviously such an arrangement became
unavoidable when the Subcontinent was
emancipated from British rule. So deep
were the religious divisions among its in
habitants that the only feasible arrange
ment seemed to be partition of the
country between Hindus and Moslems.
So far as British India" was concerned,
this partition, while difficult, was not
insuperable Therefore. we have today
predominantly Hindu India" and pre-
dominantly Moslem "Pakistan,' both pro-
visionally dominions of the British Com
monwealth.
However, the problem of the native
states remains. Logically, the same test
=. would seem to be applicable. -Unfortu-
nately, there are a number of instances
where the ruler is of different religion
from the majority of his subjects. So the
question arises whether the will of the
ruler and his supporters or the desire OF
a popular majority of his subjects should
determine the adhesion of the state to
India or Pakistan.
Kashnir is the outstanding instance OF
this dilemma. This state, the largest in
india is situated at the northwestern tip
of the subcontinent and adjoins both
Dominion India and Pakistan. Most of
its inhabitants are Moslems, but the ruler
Is Hindu Maharaja, and his autocratic
rule is buttressed by an aristocracy of
high-caste Hindus together with private
army, mostly Hindus or Sikhs. When
British India was partitioned between
Hindus and Moslems last summer, the local
Kashmiri Moslems began agitating for
union with Pakistan while the Maharaja
showed disposition to apply for union
with Hindu India. Then. when troubles
broke out, he appealed to the dominion for
aid and his application for union was
accepted. This infuriated not only the
local Moslems but their coreligionists In

AsAAaNAS fASCS LUCAS
To the Editor of The Star:
G. s. Longacre still persists in not recogniz-
ing the fact that he is talking about two things
and mixing them together in way that even
he will find hard to unscramble. He started out
by calling on our statesmen to have better sense
than to use war as an agency for settling inter-
national disputes. When asked what remedy
he would have them use, he recommends the
Gospel of Christ; and he now insists that the
Gospel Is for statesmen of the present world
for use in settling political problems.
II this means anything, it means that the
church, which Is the custodian of the Gospel,
should take over the settlement of interna-
tional disputes and the matter of governing the
world; that civil government should apply the
principles of the Gospel In the settlement of
civil problems such as war; that the solution
OF all human difficulties Is a mixture of religion
and politics. church and state, and the applica-
ton OF the Gospel to political problems

Job for the ANA

The complaints of "chiseling" brought
against q few Of the private physicians
participating in the Governments medical
program for war veterans should be
thoroughly Investigated. The Veterans
Administration believes the investigating
and any action resulting therefrom should
be left to the American Medical Associa-
ton and its constituent societies. This is
a sensible decision. The medical profess
sion is jealous of It's reputation. If some
of its members have been exploiting vet
Grams and cheating the Government; the
reputation of the profession generally will
be hurt. It behooves the ANA and the
various medical societies to see that rack
eteers are exposed and disciplined.
DR.. Paul Magnuson, VA medical director,
has agreed to submit to the ANA a list
of doctors suspected by the VA of over
charging the Government for treatment
of veterans, of continuing treatment be-
yond the need, of cursory attention to VA
patients and of otherwise "chiseling"
under the VA auxiliary care program. This
program enables veterans to receive home
town care from private doctors on fixed
fee basis, with the VA paying the bill.
It was adopted to augment the regular
VA disqualification program because of the
shortage of official facilities. Without this
supplementary medical care arrangement,
many ailing veterans would be deprived
of the medical services to which they are
entitled by law.
It is not surprising to learn that the
complaints of abuse of the hometown care
program have been relatively few and that
they involve only small number of doc
tors DR.. Magnuson undoubtedly is cor
rect in asserting that the overwhelming
majority of medical practitioners are
honest. It is for that very reason that
they will want to keep their house clean.
They have ways, through their medical
organizations, OF disciplining members who
fail to live up to the ethics of the profess
sion. They should lose no time and spare
no pains in seeing that their house is kept
in order in relation to their responsibilities
to veterans and to the Government.
