Trouble at the Pools

! It is important that the people of Wash
ington should understand why majority
of the District Recreation Board has voted
to withdraw its support of the free SWIM
ming program at pools where nonsegrega-
ton is practiced.
The board majority believes that Incl
dents which have occurred at the Nc
Kinley and Anacostia pools, when colored
children came there to swim with whites,
point to a real risk of serious racial trouble.
This view is not shared by Mrs. Alice c.
Hunter, Negro member Of the Recreation
Board, and presumably not by Irving c.
Root, the Interior Departments represent
alive, both of whom voted against with
drawing support Of the swimming program
The Star is convinced, however, that the
majority view is sincerely held.
As yet there have been no really serious
incidents. When a group OF Negro boys
went to the Anacostia pool. which, OF
course, has operated heretofore as white
pool there was fight in the locker room.
in which one colored boys nose was
broken. The police stopped the fight and
the colored boys left. On another occasion
1t is reported that police searched boys,
both white and colored, and found a
variety of weapons. On still another
occasion, when Negroes were swimming in
q formerly white pool, about 1000 white
people gathered There was booing and
some name calling, but not actual vio-
lence.
Whether incidents of this character
point to a danger of really serious trouble
is. a matter of opinion. The board ma
tority believes, however, that the danger
is present, and points to the recent ex-
periences in st. Louis and Youngstown in
support of its belief In this situation the
majority is not willing to assume respon-
sibility for what may happen, and conse-
quently has voted to withdraw It's instruc-
tors and guards from the free morning
swimming periods at any pool at which
"racial incident" occurs.
If it comes to this, a spokesman for the
Interior Department has said that 1t will
exhaust every possibility to keep the morn
ing programs operating on nonsegre-
gated basis This is appropriate enough,
since the Interior Department in fact Is
the author of the nonsegregation policy.
Secretary Krug and his aides may believe
that there is no serious danger of trouble.
Or it may be that for other reasons they
are willing to incur the risk. But If the
judgment of Federal official is going to
be substituted for the judgment of local
officials in a matter of this kind, then it
should be done in such way as to place
responsibility squarely where it belongs
on the Interior Department.

No Thinking Machine

The thinking machine" at Cambridge
University in England is not really and
truly machine that thinks. M. v. Wilkes,
who had a lot to do with building the
contraption,. says that it is, in effect, a
moron. 1t may do single multiplication
in one five-thousandth Of second and 1t
may be helpful in computations in nuclear
physics, aerodynamics and astral research,
but it has no creative intelligence.
Such gadgets were assembled by van
ished geniuses of remote antiquity. The
ancients were intrigued by the notion that
contrivances could be developed that would
simulate the motions of animal life per-
fectly. As far back as 400 BIC, Archytas
of Tarentum put together wooden pigeon
that could fly During the Middle Ages,
hundreds of automata were constructed.
The Twelve Apostles were disciplined to
march around clocks in so natural
manner as to lead spectators to believe
them to be living men. Regiomontanus
possessed an iron fly that would f1utter
around the room and return to his hand.
When the Emperor Maximilian entered
Nuremberg a mechanical eagle preceded
him into the city. Kempelen's chess player
was half a doll and half a man. ]. N.
Maskelyne in Queen victoria's reign devised
q machine called Psyche, which was adept
at cards, and another, named Zoe, which
drew pictures with amazing facility. At
the Birmingham Fair in 1928 there was
q figure ten feet high which stood, sat,
cut steel and made speeches on the virtues
of the products of the firm to which 1t
belonged.
But these automata had power Of motion
only under conditions fixed for them, NOT
by them None of them was capable OF
cogitation, meditation, mental action OF
any independent variety. In none was
there any capacity of imagination. any
power of opinion. judgment, belief or doubt.
None had a mind Neither has the Cam
bridge monster Edsac. It may weigh ton
and cover 500 square feet of floor space,
but 1t is only an "electronic delay storage
automatic calculator" a Thinking
Machine as the novelist Jacques Futrelle
visualized Professor Augustus s. F. x. Van
Dusen In The Star in 1907, iogician to
whom "two plus two are four, not some-
times but always" Certainly, 1t is just as
well that no concatenation Of insensate
material can solve a problem, write q
sonnet or q symphony, dream up q more
perfect cosmos. AL the monsters OF all
the Frankensteins definitely are-simply
monsters. II is circumstances to rejoice

Merit Versus Putronuqe

President Truman will have a 10, OF sup
port in his proposal that the merit sys-
tenn be substituted for patronage in the
selection of nearly 81 900 postmasters. The
plan did not originate with Mr.. Truman. Of
course. 1t has long been advocated by the
Civil Service Commission. The Hoover
Commission took up the cry in its recent
report on the Post once Department But
the idea needs strong executive backing TO
overcome resistance at the Capitol. The
Presidents message should greatly en-
nance chances OF congressional approval
Although the Civil Service Commission
supplies the lists of ehgihles for appoint
ment of top postmasters, political patron
age has q part in the actual selections.
theoretically the appointments are made
by the President from lists OF three eigi-
bles each prepared by the commission. In
practice, however, the choosing Is done by
the congressional delegation involved
usually by the Representative in whose
home district the post Office Is located.
This means that the appointees generally
are of the same political party as their
sponsors. The deciding factor, therefore,
often is the political background Of the
three persons suggested by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
There Is no good reason why the higher
ranking postmasterships should be under
political control, while some 10000 addi-
tionai postmasterships in smaller cities
and towns are under the merit system. The
President, the Civil Service Commission
and the Hoover Commission are in agree
ment on the desirability of making the
postal service q real career service. Mr..
Truman evidenced the sincerity of his con-
victiop when, in l947, he promoted Jesse
M Donaldson, onetime mail carrier, to
Postmaster General.
There will be opposition to the Presi-
dents plan at the Capitol from those who
resent any curtailment Of patronage priv
ileges at any time or in any direction. But
there are indications that considerable
number of members of Congress will well
come being relieved Of the responsibility
Of designating postmasters. Many Of the
legislators are harassed by deserving con-
stituents every time vacancy occurs For
every friend made through an appoint
ment, however, other friendships are lost
It would ease the tasks OF the legislators
II they could wash their hands Of the
whole business. And there can be no
doubt that a better postal establishment
would result.
