East to an unbridled ornaments
race.
Speaking before the Council on
the recommendation by U. N.
mediator DR.. Ralph ]. Bunche
that the functions of the media
tor be terminated, Mr.. Eban told
the Council that an ornaments
race would not benefit the demo-
cratic institutions nor the econ
omy of that region. However,
if such a race takes place, he
warned that Israel will not al
low itself to be overtaken." He
agreed with the acting mediator
that the truce regime in Pales-
tine has been replaced by the
armistice agreements. He sug-
gested however, that the Council
would do we'll to issue "a clear
moral directive" against Mid
die East armament competition.
Mr.. Eban also told the Council
that the time has come for lift
ing all other artificial restrictions
imposed upon legitimate COM
merce and shipping. Il have in
mind the practice of Selling
cargoes of civilian commodities
passing through Suez on their
way to Israeli ports" he added.
The Israeli representative call
ed the attention of the Council
to at least one provision in the
armistice agreement with Trans
Jordan which has not been i'm
plemented. He specifically re-
ferred to the fact that up to this
date there is still no free traffic
on the vital Latrun Jerusalem
road, and the fact that no prog
ress has been achieved in the
resumption of normal operations
of the Hebrew University and
the HaJassah Medical Center on
Mount Scopus. He blamed the
Transjordanian intransige n e
for this condition.
French Representative Outlines
! Position of His Government
The Security Cvuncil session
opened with statement by
French representative Jean
Chauvel who said the Council
faces a problem of terminating
the truce. The French position,
he said. is that the armiStice
agreements have replaced it, and
that the augmentation of the
agreements should be left to the
parties themselves and the mixed
armistice commissions with
minimum of U. N. supervisory
machinery. Mr.. ChauVel dis
agreed with DR.. Bunche that diff
ficulties arising under the agree
ment should be placed before the
Cancellation Commission. The
hands of the Commission, he said,
should be left free in the pursuit
of peace. He admitted, however,
that the Council should continue
to maintain its vigilance" by re-
tanning the Palestine case on its
agenda.
In a brief statement before the
Council, DR.. Bunche said there

1t Hurt Our Feelings, Too!

There Is a story that the most en-
barrassed man in the world was the fellow
who brought his harp to party and was
never asked to play Imagine our en-
barrassment here at The Star yesterday,
when we produced q sixty page paper,
revising and keeping up with the latest
news through five editions, yet nobody
read It'll The paper was complete In every
detail-but there was no paper. The
reporters were writing the news, the pho
tographers were taking the pictures, the
advertising department was collecting and
arranging the displays of things to sell,
the composing room was setting the type
and filing up the forms, the stereotypers
were molding the matrices and casting
the plates-but there the process stopped,
Hamlet without Hamlet, story inter-
rupted and left hanging in the air, the
great battery of presses sitting in somber
silence. The radio and television helped
where they could. Snatches of the news of
the day we're flashed at intervals through
the microphones and the television came
ras. But when the day was over we missed

us they did too, and we hope 1t will not

which We still adhere to-to oppose any
foreign domination OF the Chinese as q
menace TO our own country.
But the fact We must face Is that night
now there Just does not seem TO be any
thing we can do TO solve our dilemma in
trying to support that policy. One thing
we can hope for, of course is that If the
West wins the cold war in industrial Europe
which Is strategically more important
than predominantly agricultural China
the Asiauc outlook may improve auto
hatically. Another possibility is that the
Chinese Communists. II and when they
attain full control, may split with the
Kremlin the way Tito's Communists have
done in Yugoslavia The "ifs" here. how
ever, are too uncertain to be very comfort
ing. Quite obviously even though 1t may
defy solution at the moment. We need
to do some serious thinking about the
future of Asia and It's bearing on our posi-
ton in the world balance Of power.

Public Support Essential

Former President Hoover has witnessed
the rise and fall of number of efforts to
reorganize the executive establishment.
His observations have convinced him that
much more would have been accomplished
in the past had there been widespread and
determined public support of the various
efforts. One of the reasons for the appar-
ent apathy Of the citizens has been the
, failure of reorganization advocates ade-
quately to educate the people as to the
need for more efficiency in government.
It Is gratifying, therefore, to learn that
q Nationwide committee is being formed
to make certain that the Hoover Comfnis-
non's exhaustive findings and recommen-
dations do not suffer from lack Of public
understanding. This nonpartisan citizens
group is headed by DR.. Robert L. Johnson,
president of Temple University, who was
q member of one of the Hoover Conlmis-
don's task forces" More than seven
hundred persons have accepted member
ship on the committee.
Although the avowed objective Of this
group, In the words Of Dr.. Johnson, Is to
prevent the voluminous Hoover reports
from gathering dust" at the Capitol, it
will not be lobbying outfit in the usual
sense. Most of the education work will
be done not in the halls of Congress but
among business, farm, labor, educational,
veterans women's and other representa-
tive civic organizations and groups
throughout the country. This, then, will
be primarily campaign to inform the tax
payers of the added burdens imposed upon
them by costly waste, duplication and
general inef1ciency within the Govern
ment departments and agencies. DR..
johnson estimates that the taxpayers
could save about $500 100000 year by
eliminating overlapping functions, unnec-
essary activities and other uneconomic
practices.
The idea behind the new committee is
q good one. MIR. Hoover has warned that
this may be the last chance to do an ef-
fective reorganization job. This is a
matter which touches the pocketbook Of
every citizen. If Congress knows that the
overwhelming majority of the people want
the reorganization effort to succeed, it is
not likely that the splendid work of the
Hoover Commission will end up in
dormant file

Field. The Navy has established its main
base to the south Of these, on Kodiak
Island. The once powerful naval base at
Dutch Harbor Is closed and Attu. far out
on the Aleutian chain, has become just q
weather station.
Thus, the Aleutians, once called by our
troops the northern highway TO victory"
have been relegated TO relatively minor
position in our postwar military strategy
The real pathway to victory in another
war will be high in the clouds, across the
top Of the world, with our Arctic bases

Help Them This Eostertide

Down through the ages proportion Of all
the children born into this world have been
deformed by what is called cerebral palsy.
There are about 800 of these children in
Washington and each year about forty
eight more are born at what seems TO be
q grimly fixed rate. The afiiction can
strike anywhere. Its cause seems to be q
physical injury to the prenatal brain,
but how 1t happens nobody knows Agoniz-
ing discovery by the parents comes in the
early months OF child's life.
Years ago there was a stigma. hxed by
ignorance and suspicion, on these tragic
victims Of accident some OF them speech
less, some OF them lacking muscular con-
troll. Today medical science has lifted the
stigma and Is making progress in learning
ways to help the children. They are being
taught to speak, to walk, instead Of being
sentenced without appeal to lifetimes Of
hopeless invalidism.
In Washington much of this work Of
treatment is financed by the Easter Seal
campaign Of the District of Columbia So
ciety for Crippled Children. How appro-
pirate the Easter season is for such an
effort! Successful treatment of one OF
these child victims means true resurrec-
ton, a new birth, life lifted from dark
ness. The society's modest budget supports
a clinic, physical therapy and speech train
ing, counseling parents, health education
and other activities designed to combat
a scourge of childhood that ranks with
infantile paralysis. Your dollars, sent to
the society's headquarters, 1857 Massachu-
sets avenue, will go long way to bring
some child truly Happy Easter.

Our Chinese Dilemma

In attacking the Atlantic Pact and VOW
ing to fight on the side Of the Soviet Union
in any war with the West, the Chinese
Communists have done two things: ID
They have demonstrated the emptiness
Of the theory that Chinese Communists
are merely "agrarian reformers" who are
not beholden to the Kremlin, and (2) they
have said something that calls attention
once again to the potentially grave prob
lens created for the United States, and
for the free world In general, by the virtual
collapse OF the Nationalist armies in China.
Despite loose criticism to the contrary,
that collapse cannot be explained away
simply by blaming it on too-ittle- -too-late
American aid. The United States may not
have done all that it could have done to
bolster Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek,
but 1t nevertheless did do great deal,
corruption, by shattered public morale,
and by long series of military disasters
attributable in large part to bad general
ship and dispirited soldiers-disintegrat
The result today, Of course, is that Chiang's
successors are trying to negotiate peace
with the Communists, whose objective Is
to take over and soyietize the whole Of
China, the greater part of which is still
out of their hands.
Since so much of the country continues to
be held by the Nationalists, many Ameri-
cans argue that the United States should
rush large-scale new aid to confine the
Communists to the areas they now control.
The problem, however, is not nearly so
simple as that. In the first place, mill
tarily speaking, the armies at the disposal
of Chiang's successors apparently show no
evidence of being any more likely to put
up tight than the ones that have already
surrendered after offering scant resistance.
In the second place, because Of this, there
Is good reason to believe that if we sent
armaments and other help right now,
most of 1t would quickly flnd its way into
the hands of the Kremlin- serving Chinese
Reds
There are no easy answers to this d.
lemma. Nor Is 1t dilemma that we can
safely view with complacency, or put out
of our minds altogether, simply because
there are no easy answers to 1t. As Win
ston Churchill declared In his recent Bos-
ton address, the long term danger involved
In 1t is that 1t opens up the possibility that
China, India and other parts OF Asia will
eventually be absorbed into "the Kremlin-
controlled Communist empire"-a develop
ment that would certainly bring measure
less bloodshed and misery to eight or nine
hundred million people" Moreover, as far
Is our own vital interests are concerned,
1t would cut across our historic policy-one

Booking the Pact With Arms

Plaln-SpOken General Omar Bradley mas
cleared away any lingering doubt that
might have existed in Moscow as to our
determination to back up the words Of the
Atlantic Pact with effective military action.
His Army Day speech In New York was not
the harangue of a. .warmonger but the firm
pronouncement of q soldier statesman
intent on preserving the peace. Nothing
in this major policy pronouncement-for it
was made at the invitation Of the State
threat to any one except q potential ag-
gressor. To would-be disturbers OF world
peace the statement was grave warning
and to free peoples of the Western alliance
solemn promise-that our defensive
frontier now extends across the ocean to
the far boundaries of our Allies.
AS the Army Chief of STAFF pointed out,
the United States too long has been ques-
tion mark not only to Russia and her satel-
lites but to democracies close to the posi-
BILE cockpit of future aggression. The great
enigma in the past year or so has been not
Russia's intentions-for she has made them
plain enough for any clear thinking per-
son to see-but Americas intentions. Cen
eral Bradley observed that the Communists
have demonstrated by cynically reaching
for what they wanted that they know
where they are going, and are getting there
as fast as they can"
Today the world knows where the United
States stands. In General Bradley's we'll
chosen words, we have stated plainly that
the security of our Nation is indivisibly
bound to the security Of all free peoples of
the contracting globe" Abandoning isola-
tionism's false hopes, we have served notice
that never again will we stand by while
ruthless aggressors pick of our Allies, one
by one. That guaranty, in General Brad
ley's estimation, may be as effective a
deterrent to aggression as our possession
of the atomic bomb.
The Atlantic Pact means a profound
change in our military strategy. To such
an experienced strategist as General
Bradley 1t means the funneling of our
military might to the front-line ramparts
of democracy across the Atlantic. Without
such military implementation the Atlantic
Pact would be little more than piece Of
paper. More than words of encourage
ment are necessary to insure bold resist
dliCC ny IILIcdIcllcQ FlCtllIlS VI iuNdSlOll
General Bradley is correct in holding that
we cannot count on our friends in Western
Europe If we repeat the tragic strategy Of
first abandoning them to the enemy and
then trying to liberate them. 1t is impera-
tive that we take active steps to provide
our European defenders Of freedom with
the means to resist attack, and to assure
them Of our immediate military aid II an
attack should materialize.
That this new policy will be costly in
terms of dollars is certain. But In consid-
ering the cost, Congress and the American
people would do well to ponder these words
Of the Chief of staff: IT know Of no other
expenditure that can produce greater
security at more reasonable cost than
investment in a timely defense Of the
borders of Western Europe. There Is no
accounting system that can compute our
profit and loss in mutual security plan"

Alaskan Strategy Is Changing

The Aeutian Islands, objective of early
Japanese attacks and scene of bitter fight
ing In our successful effort to drive the
invaders out, have lost the strategic sig
niflcance which they once possessed. 1t
should occasion little surprise to learn
that some of the bases which we built
during World War II on these stepping
stones to Northern Asia are being aban-
doned to the williwaws. The Navy will
continue to use a few of them for sub
marine and antisubmarine operations.
But, with the emphasis nowadays on stra-
tegic bombing, it is but natural that new
Importance should be attached. to the
Alaskan mainland, where there Is plenty
of room for major airbases.
There no longer Is any danger OF an
attack on the Aeutians Of the type which
the Japanese Navy launched as diversion
airy thrust during the Pearl Harbor strike.
Russia has no surface fleet capable OF
mounting such an invasion. The Soviet
submarine fleet is the chief naval threat
behind the Iron Curtain. E.en II an
enemy could effect landing on one or
more Of the Aleutian outposts, our Air
Force on the Alaskan mainland would
have little trouble In detecting 1t and
dealing with 1t.
In view OF these changed conditions,
the decision to concentrate on the develop
ment Of major airbases in Alaska proper
is a logical one. According to Hanson
