Charles H. Ruth

Charles H. Ruth came to The Star in
1919. An engineer by profession, his first
assignment was in connection with con-
struction of the annex of The Star Build
ing, just then getting under way. Later
he held the title of general superintendent,
with supervisory control over construction,
production, purchasing, personnel and
related activities OF the company. His
work became his consuming passion and
he devoted to 1t an extraordinary degree
Of energy and reSourcefulnesS. His death
followed long and incapacitating illness,
especially painful to a man whose life had
been filled with intense activity. His
courageous and stole acceptance of this
personal misfortune revealed to his friends
new qualities in his character as a man.
The Star notes his death with deep appre-
citation of his devotion and loyalty to its
interests, which he made his own.

Make Them Really Temporary

The Fine Arts Commission has given
conditional approval to the designs for
the Sesquicentennial buildings at the foot
of East Capitol street. The condition is
an important one 1t is that the structures
be temporary In every respect.
The commission and the citizens of
Washington generally have learned from
sad experience that some Temporary"
buildings have remarkable longevity at
tributes. Washington park areas still are
afflicted with emergency" buildings
erected as long ago as World War I. A
new crop Of World War II temporaries
is scattered along the Mall in East Po-
tomac Park and In the front yard" of
Arlington National Cemetery. There is
no immediate prospect for their removal.
The Freedom Fair buildings will take
up acres of space reserved for scenic and
recreational purposes. This encroach-
ment can be justified only If all parties
concerned agree that the park areas will
be restored to their original uses when
the Sesquicentennial celebration is over.
The eventual clearing away of fair struc-
lures and repair of any damage done the
grounds should be solemn obligation of
the Sesquicentennial Commission.
Evening star., 1949-10-21
Conqress and the District

Washington has good cause to pay its
respects to the first session of the 81st
Congress. Constructive legislation was
passed. The District is especially grateful
for a new revenue act that paves the
way for many urgently needed improve
ments, for a strengthened judiciary, for
benefits given municipal employees and for
last-minute rescue of the Sesquicentennial
appropriation
The new tax law provided, for the first
time, sales tax, which municipal fiscal
experts deemed necessary to raise the
additional funds required to meet current
expenses and make some capital improve
ments. Without this additional source of
revenue the citizens of Washington would
not have been able to meet many of its
more vital needs during the coming year,
or make definite plans for meeting other
needs, including more schoolroom facili-
ties. Nor could the increased pay rolls
of the police, fire, school and other
departments have been met.
Law enforcement was greatly reinforced
by the creation of ten new judgeships for
four courts. The Court of Appeals, District
Court and Municipal Court thus will be
expanded by three judges, each, and n
new judge was provided for the Juvenile
Court, which has been kept going during
the prolonged illness of Judge Fay Bentley
by the loan of judges from the hard
pressed Municipal bench The enlarged
judiciary should bring salutary reduc-
ton in the docket logjams which have
slowed up justice during recent years,
particularly in the civil division of District
Court. And the cause of law enforcement
was promoted further by the launching of
special crime investigation by a House
District subcommittee.
Worth special mention is the legislation
giving school teachers paid sick leave.
This long advocated measure rights a
wrong that has contributed to the diff
culties experienced by school authorities
in recruiting and keeping qualified teach
ers. Heretofore i'll teachers have had to
dig in their own pockets to pay for SUBJ
stitutes-a requirement that was unfair
and that long has been source of irri-
tation among local teachers.
Left for further consideration were such
problems as home rule, District representa-
tion in Congress, the future of the slum
Clearance and Redevelopment Land
Agency and the Sasscer Metropolitan
Area coordination bill. The last-named
measure grows in Importance as the field
Of conflicting governmental activities
grows larger in the fringe communities
around the District. The second session
OF the 81st Congress would be justified in
giving early attention to the problem of
bringing about better coordination of
interarea planning and action throughout
the Greater Washington region.

The Farm Hundout

With all OF the House and third of
the Senate facing reelection tests next
year, it is not surprising that Congress,
before adjourning, gave overwhelming
bipartisan support to the compromise"
farm bill. Political realities being what
they are, the Democratic and Republican
legislators could hardly have been ex-
pected to be niggardly: The votes Of
agricultural America are much too i'm
pertant for that.
So, with relatively few dissents, Congress
has provided an altogether lavish handout
system for the farmers. What the system
does is to insure a continuation of high
wartime props to guarantee prices at 90
per cent of parity to growers OF wheat,
corn, cotton, peanuts, rice and tobacco.
It also insures continuation Of similar
supports for dairy products, potatoes,
tung nuts, ETC., though on less rigid
basis After 1850, theoretically, but by
no means certainly, flexible, sliding
scale formula is supposed to go into effect
to allow for decreases in what our national
treasury has to pay out in the bolstering
process.
Parity technicalities to one side, what
this means is that the Government will
continue to make purchases and loans in
order to prevent surpluses from glutting
the market and thus hurting the farmers
income. In principle, because of the key
Importance of agriculture in our overall
economy, there is something to be said
In favor of this kind of subsidlzation. In
practice, however, it is working badly.
Because they know they can count on 1t,
1t is an invitation to farmers to produce
as much as they can of the commodities
enjoying the props. At the same time,
while thus encouraging excessive produc-
tion, 1t has the effect of perpetuating high
food prices for the consumer. Above all,
besides making the Government buyer
of groceries and distributor of free
vegetables, it constitutes an alarming drain
on the Nations pocketbook-a drain esti-
mated to reach a total upward Of
$4,000, 100000 by next year.
OF course, as far as the foreseeable
future is concerned, it is almost certain
that farm-price supports in some form
will remain as standard feature of our
economy. Yet nothing could be clearer
than the fact that if they keep on in
definitely at their present high levels, the
consumer and taxpayer-including the
farmer himself-wil be hurt and hurt
Evening star., 1949-10-21

hard. This is so for the simple reason
that the Federal Treasury-whose money
is the money of the American people
can crack under the strain of having to
pay out these huge subsidies along with
all the other tremendous outlays that
must be made in this day and age.
Accordingly, whatever may be the die
tates of vote-getting politics, 1t seems in
evitable that Congress, sooner or later,
will have to undertake a drastic over
hauling of the present price-support
system Economic sanity demands that
the thing be scaled down sharply and
made highly flexible. Otherwise the day
is likely to come when such subsidization,
with its excesses, will do serious harm to
the farmers themselves as we'll as to the
rest Of the Nation.

Protecting ChiIdren's Welfare

IL Is narQ TO follow the reasoning OF
school authorities who contend that the
welfare of the children at the Briggs
Montgomery School is protected by in
flexible adherence to a twenty -five-year-
old rule against questioning by police of
children at school. Already one student
of this school has been fendishly mur-
dered by man who is still at large
The safety of other children at the school
Is threatened as long as the unknown
killer is free. If an exception to the
old rule will aid the police in identifying
and capturing this man before he kills
another child, would not the welfare of
the children at the school and of the
whole community be benefited?
The rule, in its general application, is
a good one. In most Investigations police
can do their questioning of children Just
as well at their homes as at school, The
sight OF an officer questioning student
in the schoolyard could lead to unfounded
suspicious and subject an innocent child
to unnecessary embarrassment. Children
should be protected from such embarrass-
ment. But what the police officers
wanted to do at the Montgomery
School was something entirely different.
They wanted to ask the student body in
a general assembly If any of them had
seen the murdered boy in company with
a suspicious man on the fatal day or
before, and, If so, what the man looked
like. They had promised to be discreet
in pursuing this line of inquiry.
Having been denied this opportunity to
speed their investigation and perhaps to
'find the murderer before he has chance
to commit other crimes the police now
must adopt the time-consuming procedure
of visiting each child at his home. But
every hour saved counts in such a man
hunt as this. The Board of Education and

In Defense Of "The Brass"

In Defense Of "The Brass"
To the Editor Of The Star:
The greatest stigma on the American pub
lie is that 1t has permitted the insidious
epithet brass hat to be pinned upon some
Of its most valorous defenders. Newspapers
and commentators make continual field
day OF this expression with its implied
ignominious connotation because refutation
In the military services is conspicuous by
its absence. Nonrefutation is an unwritten
code strictly adhered to through the years.
In origin, this code Of thinking is knightly
and admirable but impractical in a revo-
lutionized world where press relations have
become so vital. In my opinion, the subject
is debatable and the public should have a
deciding vote.
In recent broadcast, naval officers were
grouped as visioniaries living in a land Of
romance. The denial or affirmation of this
analysis Is not important What does seem
important is whether or not the idealist
should still be permitted to dream, especially
Il those dreams, accompanied by an inner
right4ess. reflect themselves upon thosek kJth
