OF Filibuster On
Democracy

NEW YORK, March 21. (ANP)
Grave concern over the effect
of the senate filibuster upon the
processes of American democracy
was expressed last week by the
Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America. In a formal
resolution, the executive commit
tee, policy making body of the
Federal council, requested the
Federal councils advisory COM
mittee to make a detailed study
of the situation and to report to
the next meeting which will be
held in May.

advised Vice President Allen
Barley, as president of the SEN

not explained. but experiments have shown
that the end product Is superior to any
type of synthetic rubber yet manufactured
In fact. plant officials declare that cold
rubber Is superior to natural rubber In
every respect. For example. 1t adds 30
per cent to the mileage Of automobile
tires. they say. II this mileage were added
to all tires, the annual tire bill Of American
motorists would be reduced many millions
of dollars q year. And better tires would
mean. of course. fewer blowouts and fewer
accidents.
On the broader plane, the new rubber
process has great potentialities In the neid
of national defense. II America no longer
need depend on natural rubber for military
uses, the prospect Of any shutting on of
crude rubber supplies from abroad loses
importance. The availability OF cold rub
Der In q hot war would give a feeling OF
security never before possible. 1t looks
as though science once more has outdone

Another Home-RuIe Victory

The mere TACT tnat nOme-rule Dill mas
reached the Senate floor repeats the similar
triumph last year of getting the bill into
House debate. AS In the case last year,
with the House, the bill has got into the
Senate this year because Of the distin-
guished support behind it.
If the bill can reach vote in the Senate,
The Star believes it will pass. 1t is very
difficult thing for anybody who believes
in the principles of our American Govern
ment to find any sound reasons for oppos-
ing it. 1t has been most carefully written
and rewritten. 1t has behind 1t the excel
lent preparatory work that went into the
Auchincloss bill last year. And should 1t
be approved by the Congress 1t will not take
effect until the people here have had thor
ough opportunity to study 1t in detail
before themselves voting on the question
of accepting or rejecting it.
The practical question now confronting
the Senate leadership which favors the
bill and those who are sponsoring 1t is
whether the opposition will seek to talk 1t
to death-rather than accept vote on its
merits The question Is not new one,
of course It is raised in almost any con-
.troversial measure before the Senate that
Jacks great national pressure behind it.
In the case of this BILL with little likeli-
hood that it will even emerge from the
House District Committee this session, the
real test is going to be the amount of
time that Senate leaders are willing to
devote to it,
The Star hopes there will be vote,
a~ocadad y.y a h1a opoot1pt 0f de-
bate Senator Kefauver, Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, Senator Holland and Senator
Taft all made excellent speeches in its
favor in the preliminary discussion that
began on Friday The citizens actively
supporting the bill should not overlook
the opportunity Of having these state
ments reprinted and distributed widely In
Washington. Senator Kefauver, in par
ticrllar, made an interesting outline OF
District OF Columbia history which many
.Washingtonians will find readable and
informative Every time this subject OF
voting rights for Washingtonians reaches
the stage Of formal debate In either House
q valuable gain has been made-regardless
of the immediate outcome.
The Star, as 1t is well known, has
reservations as to this approach to the
ultimate goal of national representation
for our citizens and questions the actual
improvement that would result in some
of the local government changes contem-
plated in the bill. But in relation to the
cardinal principle of the right to vote,
which underlies even a measure for limited
home rule in Washington, such objections
take second place. The Star hopes the
Senate will approve this bill.

A PointIess SquubbIe

Unless There Is dSIccIlcuo AL So1SASe1
soon on what to do about remodeling the
White House the President will spend the
rest of his term across the street while
the mansion itself remains an empty shell.
Agreement has been delayed too long
now. Chairman Cannon Of the House
Appropriations Committee wants to tear
the building down and reconstruct 1t from
the ground up. Senator McKellar OF the
Senate Appropriations Committee wants
the outer walls untouched while the in
terror is rebuilt Failure to reconcile the
differences dropped the White House item
from the First Deficiency Bill. 1t is now
In the Second Deficiency Bill, on which
the Senate is completing hearings. II the
disagreement holds up that bill too long,
the repair item will be dropped out again,
perhaps to meet its fate In some other
measure.
Mr.. Cannon might point to some savings
In dollars that would result II the White
House were razed and rebuilt In Its en-
tirety. But the dollar savings would be
relatively small, while losses In other
respects would be irreplaceable. There Is
q sentiment about the lovely old mansion
Is 1t Is now and 1t Is close to the hearts
of the American people. 1t Is worth pre-
serving, along with the outer walls that,
with changes in the interior, will stand
indefinitely.
The President wants 1t that way. He
has ample professional support. Onicers
OF the American Institute OF Architects
back him up. So would public sentiment,
in The Stars opinion. Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt has expressed the thoughts OF many
people when she says that "The repairs
ashould be made, but In such way that
the house should be reconstructed as nearly
sss possible as It has been since George
washington planned 1t. No new design or
new house could possibly have the historic
Interest OF the old one There Is an

Theodore Roosevelt expressed much the
same thought-aSo far as 1t Is compatible

originally was : 1T Is q good. thing to
preserve such buildings as historic monu-
ements which keep alive our sense Of con-
tinuity with the Nations past"

Mr.. Coins NonsensicuI Ideu

About once every year somebody pops up
in Congress to make the silly proposal that
the civilian controlled Atomic Energy
Commission be abolished and converted
into sideline responsibility of the national
military establishment. The latest to
come forward with the idea Is Senator
Cain He wants to pass law turning
over the whole project to committee
made up of the four defense Secretaries,
the three Chiefs of Staff and one nuclear
scientist.
The nonsensical nature of the proposal
is almost breathtaking In It's sweep.
Wholly apart from ignoring the fact that
Congress and the American people exhaus-
lively debated the issue three years ago
and decided overwhelmingly on civilian
control, the Senator from Washington
appears to make no allowance whatever
for the vast, far-fung and enormously
complicated operations of the Acc, or for
the atoms tremendous actual and potential
meaning in the nonmilitary field, or for
the highly important point that the under
taking though not run by the armed
forces-has the closest liaison with them
and is concentrating primarily on weapon
development. Yet, If Mr.. Cain had his
way, this giant enterprise. with It's myriad
complexities, would become mere sub
section Of the huge defense establishment,
which is up to Its neck already in the
titanic task Of trying to achieve real inter-
service teamwork.
It may safely be assumed, Of course. that
neither the Joint Chiefs Of Stan nor the
defense Secretaries want any part Of the
setup proposed by Mr.. Cain. OF course.
too, most members Of Congress Including
Acc critics like Senator Hickenlooper
have repeatedly made clear that they think
the idea absurd. The wonder Is, In the
circumstances, that some members still
rise to espouse 1t. Apparently, II the
phenomenon can be explained at all, the
explanation must be that nonsense dies
hard.

An Old Issue Revived

Senator McCarran's effort to gain access
to confidential files Of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and the State Department
is not likely to be any more successful
than the numerous attempts of Congress
in the past to obtain such classified mate
rial. As In the past, the ultimate decision
will be up to the President-and he al
ready has made 1t plain that he is against
the release of any files that might reveal
confidential sources Of information or
other secret data which should be with
held in the interest of security.
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee has issued subpoenas for 1853
files of the Justice and State Departments
relating to subversive activities Of foreign
agents in this country. These files pre-
sumably contain a great deal of informa-
ton which If it leaked out, would spread
before the world highly interesting details
on our system Of counterespionage. That
Senator McCarran has an attitude toward
security of information different from
that of the executive departments is obvi-
Gus from his threat to disclose certain
confidential information already in his
possession, unless the files he wants are
not produced He will be assuming a
heavy responsibility If he carries out this
threat
The problem involved In this latest
dispute between the legislative and execu-
tive branches Is one that seems to recur
at least once every session and sometimes
more frequently than that Congress, of
course, is entitled to the fullest co-opera-
ton of the executive departments in its
search for information needed in the
shaping Of legislation. But the depart
ments, under instruction of President
Truman and many of his predecessors,
have drawn the line between nonclassified
and classified information. AS long as this
demarcation Is not used as q device to
hide from Congress facts to which it is
rightfully entitled, the policy of safe
guarding records classified as confidential
is sound one. The production of 1853
confidential files bearing on espionage
might well hamper the FBI and other
agencies responsible for internal security.
Congress should not ask, much less demand,
that such q risk be taken. @.. 49,
