 Taft-Hartley Law Creates Friction

B-36's Look Good In Operation

FORT WORTH, Tex. tP)-Arc- tic training flights for Fort Worth based B-36 bombers must await study of winter Arctic tests now being made with a B-36 sent from Eglin Air Base, Fla, to Alaska recently.
 Maj. Gen. Richard C. Lindsay, deputy chief of air force plans and operations, reported this.
 He said: Even then, limited housing and maintenance facilities at Alaskan bases will be able to only a few planes at a time-nothing so large as a group" Lindsay explained.
 The B-36's looked fine in their demonstration flight over Wash ington last Tuesday," Lindsay re- ported. "In fact, the more we see of them, the better they look in operation"

No $. o. B." Can Influence Truman In Appointments

WASHINGTON, (H)-CrltlcS Of his administration had personal and blunt notice today from Pres ident Truman that no "S. o. B." is going to influence his appoint mentS.
 Some 200 persons-members of the reserve officers association and their wives-heard MT. Tru- man deliver that startling pro- nouncement in an earthy, matter of-fact, impromptu talk last night at a dinner honoring Maj. Gen. Harry II. Vaughan, his military aide
 The diners were brought to sharp attention as MT. Truman departed from his honey, neigh borly style and turned to artillery language:
 Now, I am just as fond and just as loyal to my military aide as I am to the high brass, and l want you to distinctly understand that any s. o. B. who thinks he can cause any of those people to be discharged by me, by some smart aleck statement over the air on in the paper, he has got an- other think coming. No commentator or cOlumniSt names any members of my cabi- net, of my staff. name them my self, and when it is time for them to be moved on, 1 do the moving, nobody else"

matter with me by my father.
He is SO. Not that he ever speaks
to me directly with reproaches

my own delinquencies to me in
the evening when, on his sickbed,
he opens his eyes and sees that

the evening which he first learn

The Facts

But we're seldom in the syna-
gogue. Many of us don't work on
Saturday, but we don't know the
Jewish Sabbath. The temples, on
the Sabbath, contain nice elderly
ladies who have come there to
recite kaddish for their kinspeo-
pie. Few are the men.
The more orthodox synagogues
are inhabited on the Sabbath by
old and aging men who have
carried the habit of religious wor-
ship from their remote youth.
Sometimes the old men think
out loud: What will become OF
these synagogues after they are
through with them and they have
gone away to speak to God In
person?
One Diagnosis
Rabbi Polish says maybe we're
tired of saying the old prayers
over and over again. He proposes
a prayer-service that will not be
the same all the time, but will
have variety each Sabbath.
Not Too Sure
Rabbi F'reehoff isn't too sure
what the cure is. He finds that
the spiritual sickness is also
among Protestants and Catholics
as well. He points out that the
synagogues are crowded on Rosh
Hashonah and Yom Kippur
''In these two services, he says
''there is a tremendous power OF
attraction as strong for modern
people as for past generations. We
have never analyzed the source
of strength of these two services.
Now let one of the patient:

little profit.
Maybe what's the matter with
me is that I am the spoiled kid
who has too many things to play
with and all the others
of us who are spared the drudging
toll their fathers had to take.
We feel that scientific progress
will keep on taking care of all
that for us forever.

been entrusted to it. These men can be
wrong, but neither their good faith nor
their professional competence can be
seriously challenged.
Finally, there is the question Of what
it is that we want to accomplish. First
there is the aim to prevent war from
starting, and it is hard for the layman to
believe that there could be any other
feasible deterrent as effective as the
knowledge that this country has fleet
of bombers capable of carrying the atomic
bomb to virtually all important targets
within the borders of any aggressor. If
this knowledge will not prevent war,
nothing will. Should all peace efforts fail
and war begin, then all of our energies
would have to be thrown into an effort
to destroy the capacity of the enemy to
wage war; That enemy would be Russia,
and while it may be true that the B-36
could not do the job alone 1t certainly
would be the most effective single weapon.
So, when all is said and done, the
question comes down to matter OF
apportioning to best advantage limited
funds and limited resources. That Is an
exceedingly difficult question, one that
calls for the most expert of professional
Judgment 1t surely is not question that
can be passed upon by laymen, be they
in or out of Congress.

New Hope for the Celebration

President Trumans own insiStence,
supported by the persuasive arguments
of Carter Barron, executive vice chairman,
and Edward Boykin, director of the Ses-
quicentennial Commission, seems finally
to have brought results. If the House
follows the lead of its Appropriations
Committee, appropriate observance of
Washington's sesquicentennial will begin
next spring.
No comparable undertaking has had to
overcome so many disappointing Setbacks.
Created by Congress, the commission
originally requested fund of $3,000,000
This was cut in half by the Budget Bureau
and knocked out entirely by the House.
The Senate restored the item and increased
the fund to $2,00O,O00 But the House
Appropriations Committee baked again
and killed the appropriation. Yesterdays
approval of the original $3,000,000 by the
same committee should stand up in the
House, for 1t came about largely as the
result of the Presidents intercession, and
prospects now are that the long-delayed
construction work of necessary buildings
can soon begin.
The appropriation has been described
as an underwriting fund, rather than an
outright grant. Those who have planned
the celebration argued consistently that
the returns from admission prices, exhibit
tionS and concessions would more than
repay the costs. Decision to change the
location of Freedom Fair"-the principal
attraction-from the Monument Grounds
to the foot of East Capitol street seems
wise. More room for automobile parking
and exhibition buildings will be available
without the added complication of razing
temporary buildings to provide space.
Some of the previous actions in Congress,
which at one time seemed to have killed
all hope for the sesqucentennial celebra-
ton, apparently were based on misconcep-
tions and lack of understanding. 1t is to
be hoped that these have been cleared up
by repeated hearings and the fact that
most of the original objections have been
satisfactorily met, either by revision of
plans or convincing argument.

Arlington Hospital

A news item in yesterdays Star recited
the details of an unflattering story OF
apathy in Arlington County.
officials of the nonprofit Arlington
Hospital Association want to buy the u.s.
bed general hospital in the county that
was built and equipped in 1914 with
Lanham Act funds. The cost at that time
was 1861 900. 1t would cost about 81 ,00O, 900
to replace it now. The Federal Govern
ment has agreed to sell the hospital to
the association for $125,000, provided a
down payment of $4,000 is made.
Hospital officials, however, have been
unable to raise the money for the down
payment. AS with most hospitals Arling-
ton operates at a loss. This requires a
solicitation of funds from the public, and
not since 1946 has this annual drive
reached its goal.
At the moment, no money is in hand
for the down payment, which should be
made three weeks hence. So drive to
raise $4,000 will begin this Saturday
among Arlington business and professional
people. 1t is to be hoped that they will
support the campaign. But the same
thing applies to all of the people of
Arlington, as we'll as to those in the Falls
Church and Fairfax area, who are served
by the hospital. To forfeit this opportunity
to buy the hospital at bargain price
would be a deplorable example of a
community's indifference to its own
welfare
