A Sleeping Bill Wakes Up

Sudden collapse Of opposition and the
6enate's quick approval OF the home rule
measure yesterday took even Its most
ardent proponents by surprise. There had
never been much doubt that 1t would be
approved If it reached vote. But Senate
leaders obviously were unwilling to auot
much time to debate, II obstructionist
tactics were employed. The fact that they
were not employed presented the real
surprise.
The explanation may be that there Is
no real hard core of opposition to home
rule. There are lot Of people who doubt
sincerely that home rule will bring any
real improvement In local government and
who believe that the injection Of municipal
politics is apt to be loss rather than q
gain. But the principle itself is unassail-
able, and it is on the grounds Of principle
that the issue Is drawn.
The question now Is what will happen
In the House, particularly in the House
District Committee, which has kept the
bill under wraps this session. Last jan
uary 26 Chairman Mcmillan reshufaed his
subcommittee. The effective Home Rule
subcommittee OF the Eightieth Congress,
headed by Representative Auchincloss OF
New Jersey, author Of the home rule bill,
was abolished It's duties were transferred
to Judiciary subcommittee, headed by
Representative Harris Of Arkansas. Both
Mr.. Mcmillan and Mr.. Harris were leaders
of the opposition in the Eightieth Congress
which successfully stymied home rule by
delays after Everett Dirksen, then chair
man Of the District Committee, had got
1t to the floor for two days OF debate.
But both MIR. Mcmillan and Mr.. Harris,
last January, announced that no home,
rule bill would be strangled in the
judiciary Subcommittee. And a. i gesture
Of assurance In that connection Mr.. Nc
MILAN appointed to the judiciary Eubcom-
nittee all the holdover members q the
former Home Rule subcommittee. Moth
Ing has been done this session, however,
to consider the bill. Mr.. Auchincloss' glum
prediction that "the bill ought to sleep
very peacefully" has been borne out up
to now. .zF -
Senate passage, however, puts q dif-
ferent light on the matter. In accordance
with their own assurances, as well as cor
rect procedure, Mr.. Mcmillan and MIR.
Harris are obligated to bring up the
senate-passed bill in the District Commit
tee and let the votes there decide its fate.
Next Monday is the scheduled day for a
meeting OF the committee, and appro-
pirate action should be taken at that time
to start the bill through committee. It
will pass the House II it reaches q vote
and there is ample opportunity to bring
It to q vote in this Congress.

Murrinq q CIeon Record

With lynching becoming rarity In
America, it Is especially shocking to read
of the brutal Staying of Negro prisoner
by two unidentified white men at Irwinton,
Georgia. The Nations frst lynching this
year was even more callous than the
average In the dark past, for the victim
had committed no vicious crime to arouse
the basest passions of mob. His worst
offense, according to news reports, was TO
resist arrest by firing wild shot ut the
sheriff.
Early accounts of the efforts Of local
authorities to investigate the lynching
were not reassuring to citizens who abhor
mob violence and who had hoped that
lynch law was dead In this country. The
sheriff, who had lefb the Jail unattended.

Secret, Risky-und Necessary

That America has had Salutary aWaK-
ening to the need for better foreign intelli-
gence is abundantly evident in the celerity
with which Congress passed the super
secret bill to strengthen the Central In
telligence Agency. It is an extraordinary
occasion when the Senate approves unani-
mously bill so drastic in its implications
and so meagerly explained as the CIA
measure As Senator LANCER commented
during the brief debate, this is probably
the first time that Congress has been
asked to pass bill without knowing what
MI Of its provisions meant.
But in foreign intelligence, just as in re-
spect to atomic energy, we are venturing
into q field new to uS-one that involves
activities that seem to run counter to our
traditional concepts of democratic govern
ment. Senator Tydings put 1t aptly when
he told the Senate that we are babes In
the woods In the business OF overseas
espionage. It was because OF our ineptness
In the field of spying on other nations that
World War II caught us woefully lacking
In information about our enemies Most
of what we did know eventually came to
us from our allies. We were the only major
power that entered the war without real
intelligence service in foreign lands. Our
belated efforts to fill the voids in our in
formation files were only partially sue
cessful.
From that lesson has emerged our new
intelligence setup, about which little can
safely be told lest ii benefit potential enc
mics. Presumably it has been patterned
generally after the efficient European sys-
TENS, particularly that OF the British,
which has the reputation of being the best
In the world. Although the bill passed by
the House and Senate gave few details.
some Of its provisions made it plain that
we are organizing q spy service abroad
that includes use of alien informantS. One
provision of the measure would permit our
giving refuge in this country to such in
fornsants up to maximum of hundred
year. Suggestive, possibly, Of the perils OF
espionage was clause guaranteeing pay
nent of costs of returning bodies Of agents
and their families to this country for
burial.
Espionage Is dangerous and difncult. 1t
can be made more so by too much pub
licity. That is why Congress accepted the
CIA bill with minimum Of debate. It is
nnfortunate that We must legislats In this

Economy and the ERP

The House has reached q satisfactory
compromise on funds to cover the opera
tions of the European Recovery Program
for the fifteen month period ending June
so, 1850. Although agreeing to the Appro-
priation Committees cut Of $629, 100000, 1t
has voted to make the committees ap-
proved total Of $4,e42, 10000 available for
spending In thirteen and half months
instead Of fifteen.
In effect, this means that the ERP need
not be materially slowed down or cut back
during that time, and 1t opens the way for
q deficiency appropriation when and If,
at the close of the thirteen and q half
months period. there is not enough money
left to carry the program through to the
end of fiscal 1850. Like all compromises,
the arrangement leaves much to be desired,
but at least ID should serve to prevent a
loss of momentum in European recovery.
Right now, along with the Atlantic Pact,
the ERP is of crucial significance in the
cold war. BY pulling Western Europe out
of the economic doldrums, it has already
done a great deal to block further Soviet
expansion oh the continent But its Job
still is far from complete. It needs to keep
on operating without letup. Congress can
not make drastic slashes In its funds with
out at the same time creating the danger
that the recovery pace may be held back
at the very moment when every effort
should be made to speed 1t up.
It seems fairly obvious that any ERP
showdown would be helpful to nobody but
the Russians. That is why the House has
adouted its COMPROMISE to soften the i'm.
pact of the slash made by the Appropria-
tions Committee The Senate. which must
now act upon the measure. should be
governed by the same consideration. Ger
tainly, because excessive cuts could lead
to serious international consequences,
economy in this field calls for caution.

A Sod Spectacle

School and military authorities win have
to come to q decision soon O. to the
future of the High School Cadet Corps in
Washington. The sorry showing Of the
undermined corps at this years competi-
tive drill makes 1t evident that some way
must be found to revitalize the organiza-
tion-or else 1t should be abolished.
1t Is distressing to see this once -outstand-
ing military outfit reduced to the hollow
shell OF q corps that 1t Is today. It's proud
traditions are Knocked by the deterioriated
strength and ebbing morale which were
50 apparent to the few spectators at
Griffith Stadium yesterday. The corps has
been the early training ground Of many
distinguished officers. including General
McAuliffe, the hero of Bastogne. It must
be q shock to such men to learn that
today's cadet ranks are 20 thin that
Mckinley Tech, for the first time on record,
was unable to muster enough men to
compete In the annual drill and that two
other high schools had to merge companies
in order to participate.
School ofncials have sought to revive
interest in the corps during the past year,
as result of threats by the Army to with
draw its support unless conditions change
for the better. Superintendent Corning
early this year authorized the various
schools to institute certain changes in the
cadet program designed to offer more in
ducements for joining and to raise morale
Of members. Either these suggestions were
not complied with very diligently or they
were insufficient to resuscitate the corps.
That parents must share the blame for
the low estate of the cadet corps Is
obvious, for, under the law, all high school
boys must take the training unless excused
by parents.
The chief questions now are whether the
school authorities have done all that they
reasonably can be expected to do to put
the corps back on its feet and whether
further efforts should be made to save the
corps from extinction. II there Is any
chance of saving the corps, 1t should be
made. Otherwise the Army would be fully
justified in ending all assistance. And
without Army supplies and other aid the
corps cannot exist

OF Military Pay Increase LEGISLATION
To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me to ofier few comments on the
defeat In the House of the bill authorizing
increases In the pay OF the personnel Of the
Army and the Navy.
Press reports attribute the defeat Of this
act to the work Of freshmen Congressmen.
Why not ask start these freshmen on .
second lieutenants pay and allowance? But
that Is not done. They start At top pay
ul0, ,000) and allowances 20 cents q mile for
travel. while officers only receive cents.
Yes. well know these same freshmen
when they enlisted In the Army had plenty
of gripes. and they unfairly blame the
ofncers for all the hardships Of war. which Is
not . pink tea party for ofhcers or their
families either.
II had my way. every general and ad-
Marshall and Admiral King should have
received 100000 year for services rendered
during World War II.
About 1885, was In conversation with
colonel who was due for retirement, and
remarked: You are going to live In Wash
ington?" He replied that the small amount
Of his retired pay would not permit him
TO do 80.
During the last war. q high-ranking gen.
eI&l OIIlCeT was kllicQ III hCtioA Ec was
called by General Marshall "the brain OF
the ground army" When his estate was
probated in court he left his widow only
81 TOO. Just one years living expenses. He
should have been paid 100000 year during
World War II.
q brother oficer Of mine had to retire as
. colonel and accept . position at his alma
mater which pays him much more than
general. He told me he had to do 1t so ne
could educate his four children.
II members Of Congress need more pay
and allowances. they vote 1t. and in addition.
put members Of their families on the Gov
ernment payroll at good salaries. I. for one.
approve of adequate pay and allowances
for members of Congress. who In turn should
be willing to grant the ofncers OF the armed
services the same consideration.
Congress votes millions and millions for
foreign countries. which may be the right
course Of action: but charity should begin
at home. The writer Is not retired oficer.
but have learned from experience that our
Government does not appreciate the services
