Effect of Public School Tuition

The sharp reduction in public school en-
rollment of pupils from outside the Dis
trict Line is the result of the rider In THIS
years appropriation bill requiring that
they pay tuition.
The rider has an interesting history For
wears it was inserted on the House side IN
the District bill and as consistently re-
moved by the Senate Appropriations Com
nnittee under the persuasive pressure OF its
Chairman, the late Carter Glass OF Viz
ginia.
The argument on the House side was
logical District residents were being highly
taxed for public schools, but the facil1-
ties of the schools were being used without
charge by nonresidents who contributed
nothing in local taxes
A wear ago the House Appropriations
Committee inserted the rider again. But
1t contained an ambiguous phrase, limit
ing the tuition payment to newly enrolled
pupils An Interpretation by the Cor
poration Counsel exempted pupils already
enrolled-that is, who were attending
school before the bill was enacted. But
this past year the tuition requirement was
inserted without modifying language OF
any sort. More than half of the 1000 out
of-toWn children attending District public
schools last year evidently have withdrawn
rather than pay tuition.
The fees fixed for last year, which may
be slightly increased this year, are not to
be sneezed at. Tuition per academic year
at Teachers College is S343; Senior High
schools, $194 Vocational schools, $3.50;
Junior High Schools, $3.50, and elementary
schools, $1O6. The charges are based on
cost per pupil.
The development in surrounding coun-
ties of school systems far more. adequate
than they were in the thinly settled COM
munities of a dozen years ago has re-
duced the hardship in the tuition fees. The
Washington public schools few years
ago, were the only good schools available
to many of the children living in the coun-
ties But as the counties assume the quail
ties of urban communities themselves,
there is not the same dependence on Dis
trict schools And the reduction In de-
mand on local school facilities will help the
adjustment of available facilities to the
substantial increase in school population
now forecast by the birth rate.

Stain and the Pope's Divisions


To the Editor of The Star:
The September IA issue Of The Star con-
tanned Con Page A-2 q story (told by Presi-
dent Truman) to the effect that at the Pots
dam meeting the Prime Minister Of Great
Britain remarked that certain plans with re-
spect to Poland would not be pleasing to the
Pope, whereupon Premier Stain In 1acetious
manner raised the question as to the numDer
of military divisions the Pope has.
Permit me to direct attention to the con-
densed form of an article on the subject Oh
Joseph Stain" in the July. 1913. issue OF the
Readers Digest This article was written oy
Louis Fischer who is the author of numerous
books pertaining to Russia, having resided in
Moscow for IA years The article on page 49,
contains the following statements:
I'm 1906 during the popular upheaval that
shook Russia, Stain declared at workers
meeting, What do we need to really win?
Three things: First, arms Second, arms
Third, arms and arms again
This habit of mind persisted. In May 1885,
Premier Laval of France, negotiating with
Stain in Moscow pleaded for better Soviet
treatment of Roman Catholics. Tt would help
me so much with the Pope Laval explained.
"'Oho.' said Stain, the Pope! How many
divisions does he have?"
Although the Russian dictator is cold and
hard, as his chosen surname is supposed to
indicate, apparently he occasionally exhibits
a slight sense Of humor, and it would seem
that the Potsdam episode gave Joe an oppor-
tunity to spring one Of his "old gags"

The KILLING of Bernudotte

Time alone can tell what new evils may
flow from the shocking assassination OF
Count Folke Bernadotte and his French
aide On the basis of current reports the
full significance of the act can hardly be
assessed with accuracy. The only thing
certain at the moment is that man OF
good will, man of peace, has been wan
tonly killed. and that Palestine and the
world at large are the poorer for it.
According to the American Consul In
Jerusalem, the killers presumably" were
members of the terroristic Stern Gang out
laWed by the Israeli government But an
other source declares that they were
dressed in the uniforms of the regular
Jewish army. Unless the uniforms were
stolen or unless Sternists in the Jewish
Army violated their oath, the two reports
do not fit together, nor can there be any
real clarifcaton without thoroughgoing
investigation by the United Nations.
Such an investigation is obviously neces-
sary The Stern Gang has long been sus-
pected of being either Communicated or
at least strongly attuned to the Moscow
party line. Accordingly, if Count Berna-
dottes killers were members of 1t, the
world will want to know whether their act
was done in a fit of bloodthirsty lunacy or
plotted and carried out on orders. If the
latter, who did the ordering, and why?
What was the purpose of the murder, and
whose ends was it designed to serve? The
United Nations, with the help of the.Israeli
government and the Arab League, should
spare no effort in seeking answers to de-
l. I1o Il Il dorlyor
motivation than that of individual fanati-
cism gone mad.
Certainly, If it was not an act to serve
some deep political intrigue, then the as
sassination of the United Nations mediator
In Palestine was sheer madness. Count
Bernadotte did not deserve to die this way.
He was the kindliest of men. He believed
that he lived not so much to be happy him
self but to make others happy. To that
end, as head of the Swedish Red Cross and
in association with numerous other organi-
cations, he devoted himself for years past
to doing good wherever he could do it, as
when he arranged the exchange of
wounded Nazi and British prisoners during
the war, or when he acted as intermediary
at the time of Germany's surrender, or
when-within more recent months-he
went back and forth between the Arabs
and Jews in a patient and warmhearted eff
fort to end the torment of the Holy Land.
1t is shocking and bitterly tragic thing
that such a good man, such an earnest
friend of peace, should be brutally shot
down at time when the world-particu-
larly Palestine-is sorely in need of the
kind of services he had been 50 generously
rendering. 1t remains for the United Ma
tions to do everything possible to get to
the bottom of the killing. Meanwhile, the

Inhumanity of Atheists

To the Editor OF The star
The complaint OF the atheists that they are
denied the opportunity to promulgate their
unbellef on the radio naturally has aroused
much feeling and discussion. Why should they
desire to undermine the faith of those who
cherish their belief in Christianity morS than
their life? 1t is a recognized formula Of pro-
priety that a man has no right to destroy
system unless he can substitute something
better James Russell Lowell once said, "The
worst kind of religion Is no religion at all"
What does atheism offer instead Of that
which it attempts to destroy? Nothing. Its
efforts are exclusively destructive. 1t is difi-
cult to understand why any man with any
feeling Of humanity should desire to deprive
any one of that which gives him the greatest
comfort and satisfaction in life, and which
to quote Lowell again-"alone robs death OF
its terror and the grave of its gloom"

Political New Look

The Republicans, on the basis of Gov
ernor Warren's Salt Lake City speech, are
way out in front in this campaign. It
looks almost too good to be true.
The contrast is striking President Tru-
man, of on his tour of the West, serves
notice on the Republicans that he is going
to give 'em hell" No doubt he will. Henry
Wallace, speaking in Buffalo, is playing
the same old record-smear the Repub
licans and smear the Democrats; there Is
no virtue in any one save himself.
But out in Utah the Republican vice
presidential candidate was striking q diff
feernt note, introducing q new look into
American politics.
II believe" he said, that our best chance
Of preserving responsible government
under the party system depends upon
how wholesome our campaigns can be,
how free they are from prejudice of party,
class or race, and upon the extent to
which we can unity, rather than divide,
our people"
There is good he said, in the record of
both parties, as we'll as bad. And the
people know this. What they look for is
the quality of leadership put forward
from one election to another, and this
year, in his judgment, the Republican offer
Is better. But there was no throwing of
political brickbats or mud. The emphasis
was on national unity in troubled world.
AS political speech, it was reminiscent OF
the lines by the unidentified author:
There is so much good In the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us.
That 1t ILL behooves any of us
To find fault with the rest of U.S."
OF course, it is still early in the season.

They Should Get Together

The assertion by David E. Lilienthal,
chairman of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, that the atomic energy program al
ready is suffering and is threatened with
further damage as a result of indiscrimi-
nate "smears' on scientists ought not to be
brushed aside.
This complaint, of course, is not new
one 1t has been put forward by the Presi-
dent and by various spokesmen for scien-
tific groups. 1t has seemed to The Star
that these earlier criticisms were not spe-
cific enough to warrant acceptance of their
validity, and in sense the same thing is
true of Mr. Lilienthals remarks.
He says there are number of reasons
for the reluctance of scientists to enter
Government service, adding that the fear
of Anonymous vilifcation" is only the
newest of these reasons. He does not say
how many have left the service for this
newest reason, or how many, If any, have
refused to enter it on this account. Mr..
Lilienthal recognizes, as he always has,
that guards and fences and investiga-
tors" are necessary, and he comedies that
under the best procedures there still will
be occasional abuses and occasional unfair
accusations.
In this situation, it would seem that
there is urgent need for an earnest at
tempt to get down to cases. Presumably,
the complaints of the Acc chairman are
aimed at the House Committee on Un-
American Activities This being so, the
committee will be derelict in it's duty if it
is content to rest on the observation of one
of it's members that the Lilienthal COM
ments were 100 per cent political state
ment," and that he (the committee men,
ber) does not believe that Mr.. Lilienthal
is telling the truth.
1t seems to The Star that the proper
thing for the committee to do would be to
ask Mr.. Lilienthal to appear before it, in
executive session if the matters complained
of cannot be discussed publicly, and en-
deavor to get to the bottom of this mat
ter 1t is not reasonable to suppose that
the committee would be willing to aban-
don its investigation of what it calls atomic
espionage, nor has it been established that
it should be abandoned. The committee
should be willing, however, to give the most
careful consideration to any specific show
ing that its methods and procedures are

Government to have Congress pass some law

Science Challenged by Religion
To the Editor of The Star:
In the August 27 issue, you gave space to
D. F. Haynes. protesting against your edito-
rial, Five Human Species August "a, as
conflicting with his hereditary notion OF the
creation.
Every error in physical science, now ex-
ploded, was justified at the time to be the
voice of Scripture. Augustine denounced the
idea of there being antipodes or men on the
opposite side of the earth The roundness OF
the earth was thought to be disproved by the
text Psalm 104, 2.
Galileo was forced to sign q statement that
the proposition that the sun Is the center of
the universe and immovable Is absurd, and
that the earth is not the center, but that 1t
moves, is heretical and erroneous in faith
Psalms 90, /; &c. TO- Eccles /, As. Even
Calvin urged that these texts proved the
earth is at rest in the heavens, the sun moving
around it.
Columbus was assailed with quotations from
the Bible to prove the impiety Of his belief
In the existence of America.
The aim of the Creator in forming the
earth, in allowing the successive changes In
geology, and all the different types of animal
life which have passed away was to introduce
man upon the surface Of our globe. Man Is
recognized as the ideal being towards whose
appearance nature has been working from the
