to take Statewide view of problems.
They cannot be expected to give a great
deal of weight to the opinions expressed
by purely advisory group such as the
Arlington PUG.
How much longer the citizens of Arling-
ton will be content to put up with the
present unsatisfactory arrangement is
question which only they are qualified to
decide. But it seems to The Star that the
time is coming, If it is not already here,
when Arlington must have a real PUG,
fully empowered to protect the interests
of its thousands Of residents. And even-
tually it may be Supplemented by Metro
politan Area PUG, created by District

area. In the meantime, If the present

that it is provided with written instruc-
tions as to its duties and with some sort
of tools to carry out whatever responsible

Dutch-Indonesion Accord

! The successful conclusion of The Hague
conference between the Dutch and Indo-
'nesians Is bright development in
troubled world. After ten weeks of arduous
bargaining the plenipotentiaries signed
a complex series of agreements which
regulate the future relations between the
Netherlands and their former colonial
.empire in the East Indies, now to be trans
formed into the Republic of the United
States of Indonesia. Thereby, an immense
archipelago with 100000 inhabitants
will take its place on the roster of the
worlds sovereign nations.
!, As indicated by its title, the new country
will have a federal form of government,
somewhat similar to our own There will
be something like dozen states, CORE
spending to the different island groups
and peoples which make UP the entire
archipelago. The Senate or upper house
.of the Federal Legislature will have two
members from each state. The lower
chamber or House of Representatives will
be elected according to population, though
1t is stipulated in the constitution that the
.Indonesian Republic, comprising Java and
parts of Sumatra, will have >one- third of
the House seats, corresponding to It's popu-
lation status.
More interesting to the outside world
are the relations between the q. s. OF
Indonesia and the Netherlands. This
relationship will be analogous to that be-
tween Britain and the constituent men,
bers of the Commonwealth, each of which
are sovereign yet bound to each other in
voluntary association. The ties between
the Netherlands and Indonesia are some
what more precise being carefully itemized
in Statute of Union which constitutes
partnership in the fields of trade, foreign
relations, defense, and, social and cultural
matters. This friendly cooperation Is
another pioneering venture along the trail
already blazed by the British in the trans
formation of former colonial empires into
associations wherein the former colonies,
while acquiring independence, still retain
the benefits of the experience, assistance
and "know-how" possessed by their for
mer rulers. The mutual advantages of
such connection are obvious and should
rebound to the benefit, not only of the
immediate parties concerned, but to the
world as a whole. What these liberated
countries need above all else is economic
reconstruction and development. which
presumably they could not get from in
experienced native regimes without West.
ern aid.
OF course, the signing OF these agree
ments. vital though they may be, must be
supplemented by sincere and genuine
augmentation on both sides. That may

For Relief at Curdozo

. From the standpoint OF cold logic and
savings for the taxpayer, relief Of conges-
.tion in the colored high schools would
best be accomplished by turning Central
High School over to the colored divisions
:or by ending the dual system of public
,schools. For there is room to spare in
.all but one of the white high schools, while
:all the colored high schools are operating
.above capacity.
. But neither cold logic nor savings for
the taxpayers is the governing considera-
stion in maintaining the dual system. And
as long as it continues to be maintained,

.ommendation for treating the overcrowd-
ting in Cardozo High School -by using the
Park View Elementary as Cardozo annex
sis probably the best one yet advanced.
/. If Central High School were turned
.over to the colored schools to relieve
existing overcrowding, and if the new
.Spingarn Negro High School is completed,
!. as planned, in 1851, all needs of Negro
high school students would be met for
many years to come. In addition, Cardozo
could be abandoned. And plans to build
"a new $2,500,000 Armstrong colored high
school and new $3,50O,000 Cardozo could
sbe scrapped. The additional space pro-
.vided by Central and the new Spingarn
would leave the colored high schools with
"a surplus capacity Of nearly two thousand
.students without overcrowding the white
thigh schools.
f. But continuance of the dual school
system should mean retention of Central
as white school, for ultimate possible
use as Junior college, If the recommends
tions of the Strayer report are followed.
And continuance of the dual school sys-
tenn will demand, in addition to the new
Spingarn, two new colored high schools
to replace Cardozo and Armstrong, at a
.cost of something more than $6,009,00O,
:including sites. For the only acceptable
legal defense of the dual system, in the
Federal courts, is provision of equal facili-
tiles. And without such new facilities as

not be too easy, especially for the 1ndo-
nesians, who have to contend against much
domestic opposition, particularly from the
Communists who strive ceaselessly to undo
the good work and produce chaos from
which they might hope to profit. This,
however, is understood by the wiser Indo-
nesian leaders, who have already shown
ability in dealing with radical or anarchic
elements. And they will return home
strengthened In prestige and authority by
the outcome of their negotiations with the
Dutch. The way, therefore, seems open
for constructive evolution of the

Hard Times for the 6. O.P.

How times have changed! It was not so
very many years ago that the Republican
Party was rolling in wealth, to the envy
and dismay of the penny -pinching Dem
ocrats. Cartoonists depicted the G. O. P.
as well-fed, silk-hatted prince of privi-
lege, his pockets bulging with folding
money of the higher denominations.
But those days are gone-at least for the
present. The G. O. P. has lean and
hungry look, and its pockets no longer
bulge. In fact, its bank account has dwin-
died so alarmingly that its treasurer has
decided to quit-apparently on the theory
that If the bank balance shrinks much
further he would have nothing to do.
In resigning as custodian of Republican
funds, James S. Kemper disclosed that
the party's reserve funds have dropped
from 1892, 900 in 1948 to 1000 as of today.
What makes matters worse, he says, is the
bleak prospect of any appreciable collec-
tions to reverse the downward trend.
Collecting funds is not the treasurer's
business. That is the job Of the Finance
Committee. It seems obvious that the
committee will have to stir itself if the
party is going to have any money to spend
on the 1850 congressional campaign.
Meanwhile the Democrats do not seem
to be having any money worries worth
noting. Having developed winning habit
for so many years, they are not likely to
have difficulty in hitting the jackpot when
ever additional funds are needed. They
collected plenty of dollars for the Tru-
man campaign and had a stable sum
LETT over. Their era of scrounging for
campaign funds is but dim and unpleas-
ant memory. They are not apt to charge
plagiarism if the G. o. P. adopts their
pre-Roosevelt slogan, Brother, can you
snare n dimeo"

A PUG in Name OnIy

1t is unfortunate that the timing of
the designations of five of the six members
OF the Arlington Public Utilities Commis-
sion gives political complexion to a
problem which deserves serious non-parti-
san study. The joint letter of resignation
reveals the utter futility of the existing
PUG (so-called) setup in Arlington. Here
Is county which has every aspect of
growing city, yet is without any effective
local supervision of its public utilities.
The Arlington PUG not only has no
regulatory authority; it is devoid even of
basic instructions as to what it is supposed
to do. Created in the days when the
county was just beginning to emerge from
Its rural era, the group resulted from a
resolution adopted with little or no ex-
planation or debate at meeting Of the
old Board OF Supervisors. The idea, as
announced at the time, was to give the
board the benefit Of advice on utilities
matters from group Of representative
citizens.
But throughout the years this amorphous
group has been without statement Of
policy, without staff and without funds.
except for occasional allotments to pay
expenses of members willing to take time
off from their business affairs to attend
hearings at Richmond or elsewhere. The
advice which such group can give is
understandably of a sketchy variety. Re-
Gently the members sought permission to
hire at least part-time staff, expert to
assist in collecting information on bus
fares and other current utility problems.
The commission requested q thousand dol
lars for this purpose, but was granted only
two hundred dollars.
That the PUG members should suffer
from a sense Of Illustration and futility is
but natural. A PUG so constituted is
useless appendage. Either 1t should be
supported, or 1t should be abolished. OF
course, under Arlington's present govern
mental status as county, there Is no
legal authority to establish commission
with actual regulatory powers. Even the
County Board has no such powers. The
county's public utility problems perforce
must be handled by the State Corporation
Commission in Richmond But experience
has shown that Richmond authorities have
difficulty In understanding Arlington's
peculiar utility needs. They are inclined
