Walk With Truman

The walkers of the world, until lately
a fast dwindling and dispirited lot, have
a new spring in their step these days.
President Truman is now swinging along
with them and giving new dignity to
the almost lost art of putting one foot in
front of the other to get somewhere. May
be it was only to be expected that man
who has shown such striking ability to
60 places under his own power, should
stride daily about the town. Perhaps 1t
was inevitable that a man proven to be
in such close touch with the people should
choose as his exercise the one paStime that
is within the reach of everybody who can
stand on his own two feet The Chief
Executives recent, much-heralded feat OF
footing it to Union Station to meet Mrs.
Truman and Margaret was the greatest
shot in the arm to pedestrianism since
the Model T first hit the road. People
who cannot go to the corner store or
around the block without benefit of
wheels were, astounded. People who had
begun to think that man within hun
dred years or so would be born without
legs we're treasured.
Walking has long needed an 1zaak Wal
ton or rallying point. To be sure, much
has been written about the delights of
springing from bed at dawn and briskly
stepping across the moors, bird book in
hand, before breakfast; but the simpler
pleasures of strolling on city pavements
have never been properly advertised.
Walking needs no expensive equipment
like skiing, no special weather like flying,
no club membership like squash no brain
straining like bridge. All you need to do
is set your legs in motion. You can see

Warning to Virginia

The contempt of court adjudication
which has been made against the public
school authorities in Gloucester County,
Virginia, carries with it an implicit warn
ing to the entire State. For what has
happened in Gloucester County conceiv-
ably may happen in any other county.
Gloucester is one Of those Virginia coun-
ties that seems to be slipping backward
It's population is declining, and its tax
revenues, even by rural Virginia Standards
are low. AS is the case throughout Vir-
ginia, it has a segregated school system
with the facilities provided forl tolored
children being inferior to those for whites
Some months ago a group OF Negroes
selected Gloucester as one of two counties
In which to test their right to have sub
stantially equal school facilities. Their
suit was filed in Federal Court, and Judge
Sterling Hutchinson ordered that substan-
TALLY equal facilities be provided. When
this was not done he held the county school
superintendent and the members of the
School Board in contempt. He postponed
sentence until April however, apparently
to give them more time to make the re-
quired improvements and thereby tighten
the penalty to be imposed.
Although it does not appear that under
the law Judge Hutcheson could have done
otherwise than he did, his order seems
eminently unjust to the defendants, eSpe-
cially the School Board members. AS rule
these are public-spirited citizens rendering
a public service without any material COM
pensation. But the effect of the order is
to make them the victims of a system over
which they have little or no control. This
inequitable result becomes the more glar-
ing in view of the attitude Of the Negroes
in Gloucester. One of the bases Of the
contempt judgment against the school
authorities was that they had not been
sufficiently diligent in trying to secure the
necessary 300 signatures to petition for
bond issue to build a new Negro school.
It was brought out at the hearing, however,
that although Negroes constitute about
40 per cent of the county's population,
not one Negro had signed the petition and
apparently the Negroes, including those
who instituted the suit, have made no
effort to obtain any signatures In other
words, the public authorities must pay the
penalty when it Is really the people Of
the county, including the Negroes, who are
primarily at fault.
Be this as it may however, the fact
remains that the authorities must do
everything in their power to comply with
the order or face serious consequences, for
contempt of court is no light matter. And
If the authorities in other counties where
Negro schools are inferior to white schools
are wise they will read the handwriting on
the wall It says very plainly that if Vir-
ginia wants to retain her segregated school
system, she must provide equal facilities
for all.

March of Dimes Cumpoiqn

The annual March of Dimes campaign
deserves the support of every citizen. It
is aimed at the conquest of one of the
several diseases which aff1ct children espe-
cially. The money raised each year is
spent for the care and rehabilitation of
patients partially paralyzed, for epidem-
biological research and for laboratory ex-
Fermentation looking toward definitive
solution of the whole problem of polio
nyelitis. Vast sums already have been
solicited and disbursed. Further help Is
required
Just now there is reason to believe that
victory may be in the making. Much has
been learned about infantile paralysis since
the historic outbreak of 1916. A nearly pure
polio-virus which long defied detection
finally has been isolated and currently is
being studied. Investigation of the FEAST
bility of vaccination against the disease is
being carried on by scientists who, not
unjustifably, believe they may yet be able
to announce a perfected technique.
Meanwhile, there is chance that polio
myelitis in its lesser forms has reached so
many millions of people that considerable
degree of general inlmunization is develop
ing. One theory is that multitudes have
had slight, perhaps altogether unnoticed
attacks and thus have been exempted
from serious infection. Another hypothesis
credits improvements in such widely varied
fields as nutrition, public sanitation, phys
ical education and housing with important
gains.
All of the indicated effort is needed. No
nation calmly can submit to the periodical
impairment of its boys and girls. Every
citizen of the United States should be as
glad to accept his own equitable share in
the task of defeating infantile paralysis
as he cheerfully would answer the call to
action against any other dangerous enemy.
The March of Dimes is convenient facil-
ity. It should be supported generously.

VA Hospital Cutbuek

While the purpose behlnd the puoSet
limitation on the veterans disqualification
expansion program is good one, 1t Is TOO
bad that the cutback decision has come so
belatedly In the case OF the proposed
Veterans Administration hospital on the
Nevius tract in Arlington, for example, the
reduction in scope of the project means
further delay in starting this much-delayed
project Entirely new plans may have TO
be drawn to replace the original Ones OH
Gals say.
President Truman told Congress In his
budget message that disqualification needs
of veterans had been overestimated and
that unless the program is curtalled now,
Serious overbuilding" will result Mr.. Tru-
man apparently had in mind two facts:
First, that the hospital program, as orig
inally proposed, included provision for care
OF veterans with non -servlce-connected
disabilities, in addition to those suffering
injuries or diseases arising directly from
war service; and, second, that there are
not enough doctors available to stan the
original program The cutback recon-
naended by the President will affect only
veterans seeking treatment for ailments
not resulting from the war VA offclals
assert that all service connected cases will
continue to receive full attention. 1t is
interesting to note that the Presidents
message followed closely a Hoover Com
mission suggestion that economies could
be effected by co-ordinating and consoli-
dating disqualification activities OF the Vet
Grams Administration and the armed
forces If Congress should adopt the
Hoover plan, the need for large expansion
of the veterans disqualification program
presumably would be lessened. This pos
sibility too, may have been considered In
the Presidents decision to cancel plans for
twenty-four new hospitals and to reduce
Ihe size of the one in Arlington and thir-
teen others.
The one-third reduction of the building
MANNED for the Nevius site, adjoining Ar
lington Cemetery at the intersection OF
Lee boulevard and Arlington Ridge road,
is of such major nature that more than
q mere revision of existing plans will be
necessary, officials fear. Under the new
plan the hospital would accommodate five
