Wants Democracy as Parking Let
Where Government Employees Are Favored
Ts -. E13ser o. Tas sssr
In a recent issaae o. The Star ihevp ar
peared an item on the announcement al BIDS
for the operation OF one of"the cttyS mos;
profitable parking lots al Fourteenth and n

The release stated that the Iot had u ! As

Government employees al the rate o. SIS q
month. Al this reduced rate Government
employees also set preferred Spacs.
This leaves lSS spaces available 10 other
vehicle owners a. the rate Of rs cents cay
or approximately sl7 n month. The parking
situation in downtown Washington would he
greatly relieved. II the lot were operated OF
an impartial basis at parking rates currently
existing In the downtown area
The question arises why motorists Of one
group should be given preferred parking
rates and space over another group on
Government owned parking lot Many Of
those who are given special parking permits
at low rates are not residents Of the District
and pay no taxes in the District. The -Four
teenth and D streets lot. one OF the citys
most profitable parking lots" would be more
profitable II the S4o cars which are provided
all-day parking al the rate Of SIS per month
were charged the prevailing rate. which IS
more than three times that amount.
The lot should be available TO the public
without special privilege to any group. This
would increase the income TO the Govern
ment. relieve the parking situation in the
business area and. what is more important.

Costly Do-Nothino Policy

Congress deserves the cauSflc reminder
which President Truman gave it yesterday
about the apparent do-nothing attitude At
the Capitol on legislation 10 raise the pay
of Federal executives. This do-nothing
attitude on the subject Of salary ceilings
Is not a new development. Congress has
been doing nothing about this matter for
years. During this time Congress has
handed out several pay raises 10 Federal
employees below the ceiling to the President
and Vice President. to Federal judges and.
naturally to its own members, But in
variably the laws which have prevented
certain key administrators, commission
members and professional men from get
ting higher salaries have remained un-
disturbed
The President cited an example OF this
unfair, efficiency -impairing discrimination
that Is notorious. This is the failure TO
increase salaries of Federal Trade Commits
sion members in the past thirty five years.
The net effect, in view of the declining
value of the dollar over that period, has
been to impose on these commissioner a
pay reduction of more than so per cent
since 1914. Numerous other inequities have
developed because OF congressional neglect
of Government employees in the higher
salary brackets. This neglect has damaged
morale and caused the loss to the Govern
ment of many administrators and special
lists whom it could i'll afford to lose. And
the task of filling these vacancies has be-
come increasingly difficult.
All of this has been brought to the
attention Of Congress repeatedly by Presi-
dent Truman and several of his predeces-
sors and by the Civil Service Commission.
Bills have been reported to both houses
at this session, but they are yet to be
called up on the floor. Yet legislation to
provide additional clerical and communi-
cation facilities for Senators and Repre-
sentatives-at a cost more than the ST.
100000 required to raise pay ceilings of
executives-went through the legislative
mill with the greatest of ease The record
of Congress on the pay-ceiling bill Is not
pretty one. It Is time to correct this
record, not only in justice to an important
group Of employees but in the interest of
more efficient Government.

To Fiqht Dental Disease

The American Dental Association has
good arguments to offer In support OF Its
appeal for Federal funds to establish a
national research institute at Bethesda.
The institute-to be built and equipped
at a cost of $4,000, ,000-was authorized by
the S0th Congress, but the Presidents pro-
posed budget for fiscal 1850, either through
oversight or otherwise, failed to include
an appropriation for it. The Senate has
since voted to approve the outlay, but the
House has not, and the issue now rests
with a conference committee, with the
ADA still hoping that the Anal decision
will be at least favorable enough to make
available $500,00 for preliminary work
on the project.
Certainly, the project-which the ADA
has been pleading for for the past ten
years-has much to commend 1t. As a
Senate committee pointed out to the 80th
Congress, diseases of the teeth are among
the most prevalent of human ailments,
Frequently, either as causative or aggra-
waiting agent, they are directly connected
with arthritis, neuralgia, heart trouble, and
such other Affections as infections Of the
kidneys and gastro-inteStinal tract, and
they added up to large problem In the
armed forces during the recent war. Yet
research aimed at dealing with them more
effectively has been scattered and made
ouate, so much so that it has been impos-
sible for the dental profession to make
as much progress against them as Ii would
like to make and can make.
That is why the ADA has been so per-
sistent in its effort to make going con-
cern of the projected national institute
for dental research. The enterprise Is
designed to contribute to the health-and
hence to the wealth--of the country ai

Soviet Encyclopaedia

The Council Of Ministers at Moscow has
ordered Sergei vavilov, president OF the
Academy of Sciences, to produce fifty
volume Soviet encyclopaedia, bringing "the
entire world OF thought" into proper Com
u1unist focus. This work must be done
within six years. It's purpose will be the
correction of "gross theoretical and polit-
ical errors" aliegedly found in other works
of the same ssification-including a
preliminary Bolshevik encyclopaedia fin
ished as recently as 1s47. The need for
the new work, 1t has been explained, arises
from Important changes in the life OF the
Soviet Union and foreign countries" during
the past decade.
Specifically, 'new discoveries" in "the
fields of atomic and general physics,
astronomy, geology, chemistry, physiology

Now is the Time

In his separate meetings with the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee and
the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
Secretary AcheSon has made point fully
supported by the compelling logic of the
cold war. The point is simply this: That
If the free Western world is to maintain
its present favorable position in that war,
the United States must ratify the North
Atlantic Treaty and adopt the related
military assistance program before Con-
gress adjourns
AS far as the treaty is concerned, there
is virtually no doubt that the Senate will
ratify it overwhelmingly within the next
few weeks. But there Is some question
about congressional action to back it up
with limited ornaments aid to Britain and
the European signatories. Mr.. Acheson has
in effect warned against delay, postpone
ment or vacillation of any kind. He has
done so on the common-Sense ground that
slackening of effort at this point would
serve only to help Russia. The cold war,
in other words, is still see-saw propo-
sition; at the moment, the West seems
clearly to have the better of it, but If we
let up now, that advantage will be lost.
Mr.. Acheson has stated it as his firm
conviction that such projects as our
Greek Turkish aid, the European Recovery
Program and the mere signing of the
Atlantic Pact have played vital role in
persuading the Kremlin to lift the Berlin
blockade and to adopt the more temperate
attitude displayed by Mr.. Vishinsky at the
Paris Conference of Foreign Ministers.
The common political, economic and mill
tary front presented by the West sundoubt-
edly has hadaa sobering effect on the
Russians. ThSS respect strength~and a
resolute spirit. What they thrive on is
weakness and irresolution-the sort of
thing that creates soft spots Offering little
or no resistance to their direct or indirect
aggression. M
= Certainly, Taevents themselves. have
demonstrated that Western hrnAness has
paid dividends in the cold war, and now
is the time not merely to maintain that
firmness but to make 1t even firmer by
ratifying the Atlantic Pact and effectuat-
ing the projected program of military
assistance to our friends abroad. There
should be no letdown, no loss of momen-
tum, no resting on oars, at this stage.
Instead, while keeping all doors open to
a genuine understanding, the West as a
whole must build on its present advantages
by pressing forward with every measure
calculated to strengthen 1t vis-a-vis the
Soviet-dominated East.
Accordingly, before Congress adjourns,
we should have not only the Atlantic Pact's
ratification but also the enactment OF the
implementing arms program. The issue
is altogether nonpartisan. Along with such
outstanding Republican statesmen as
Senator Vandenberg, the Governors of the
forty eight States have voiced essentially
the same view as Mr.. Acheson. and there
is good reason to believe that their senti-
ment is identical with that of the vast
majority of Americans Given the action
asked for, the Vests position will be
stronger than ever when the Council of
Foreign Ministers meets again in the fall

Criticism Of DIR. Evatt On Immigration
Denied by Information Minister


It is to be regretted that Don Wilmington,
whose article on DR. Eyatt appeared in The
Star OF June 10, should have marred his
contribution by a completely unworthy and
untrue Story about supposed conflict between
DR. Eyatt president Of the United Nations
General Assembly. and his colleague, Arthur
Calwell. Australian Minister OF lnforma-
ton. have before me a statement by MIR.
Calwell in which he denies unequivocally
that he had sharply criticized DR.. Evatt for
his recent attitude TO Australia's immigra-
ton policy"
Mr. Calwell said i share the admiration
which all right-thinking Australians have
for the splendid work done by DR.. Evatt at
UNO. have always received from him and
his offcers abroad the fullest support in
carrying out the laws which 1t Is my duty
to administer Neither in the cabinet nor
in the caucus room has DR.. Evatt criticized
the administration of Australias immigra-
ton laws
The allegation that there was hostility,
deep seated or otherwise between DR. Evatt
and himself was a fantastic fabrication. the
minister added. He had expressed the view.
in q letter to the Prime Minister that per
haps q press statement could have been
issued subsequent to the discussion at the
U. NJ explaining Australia's position. but he
had never suggested, nor did he feel. that
Russia's charges should have been answered
during the Assembly debate. Not one word
of criticism of DR.. Evatt had been contained
In his letter to the Prime Minister.
I hope you will be able to publish this
letter to remove the entirely false impression
created by Don Whittingtons article.
