YOungsfer Gets
Tips on Railway
Prexy's SkiIIs

CHIcAGo.-Seldom does a young
ster get the opportunity for the
kind of advice that came to 15-
year-old Eugene Knoll, of Blue
Earth, MINI.
Eugene had wanted to be rail-
road president ever since he can
remember. A high school freshman,
he has his heart set on that job.
Now, he has taken the first step in
that direction.
He was assigned in school to
write a paper on what he planned
to do in adult life. He needed ex-
pert advice, so he wrote to c. H.
Buford, president of the Milwaukee
railroad.
The letter finally found its way
through all the intricate channels
in a huge railway office to the desk
of President Buford.
Buford said later he read the let
ter with nostalgia feeling It had
been years, he said, since railroad
presidents received letters from
boys with that ambition.
Ambition Fading
He recalled that at one time it
was the mark of a typical Ameri-
can boy. But today, Buford said,
that ideal seems to have disap-
peared in a world of atomics and
jet planes.
Buford was glad to write the let
ter, he said, and took considerable
time from his duties. He was ION
the spot, so he thought about it for
a long time, then sat down and out
lined the steps he believed brought
him to the top job.
This is his advice:
l. Keep strong and physically fit.
This is must for railroad men.
2. No young man can succeed in
any line unless he is scrupulously |
honest, conscientious and consider
ate of others. Develop confidence
in yourself, but don't be a smart J
aleck.
3. Industry and cooperation are
Teamwork is as essen
tial on railroad as on football
field.
Don't be Misery
4. Learn and remember the value
of the dollar. Don't be miserly, but
get value received for what you
spend, and don't squander either
your own or your employers
5. Cultivate and develop a pleas
ing and friendly personality.
6. Finish college, and, perhaps, a
technical or professional school,
Specialize in some type of engi-
accounting, business ad-
ninistration, law, or some other
field. 1t is possible to achieve the
through any of these
ines.
Z. Spend your summer vacations
on railroad. You must
Snow great deal about all types
If railroad work
8. When you get that vacation
OBJ, get letter of recommendation
n 60 on your own. Sell yourself to
'our employer. Tell him that you
ire not afraid to work and that you
ire ready to start.
3. When your preparations are
inished, go after your permanent
OBJ the same way you went after =
he vacation job.
From then on it's up to you.
The railroad president concluded:
Il sincerely hope that your am
ition may be achieved and that
ONE day, when am not around,
hose of your generation will read

Arms Standardization

The agreement just announced S1multan-
eously in Washington, London and Ottawa
for a joint program of arms standardlza-
ton is an event of much wider and far-
reaching Importance than its technical
aspect, important though that Is. Tne
implications reach beyond the military and
strategic aspects into those OF politics,
diplomacy and even psychology BY this
agreement, the three English-speaking
democracies, Britain, Canada and the
United States, announce an increasing CO.
ordination not only of weapons but also
of strategy and tactics, with pooling OF
information of every sort. Furthermore,
this is not blueprint for future action
It has been elaborated by the respective
defense stats for nearly three years and Is
already under way Most significant OF all,
the program has been worked out and can
continue to function without any sort OF
treaty, commitment, agreement, contract,
or other formal authorization. 1t Is the
rational response to considerations OF
obvious joint interest and common sense.
Consider the intellectual and psychologi-
cal basis behind this smooth fruition. 1t
rests on the instructive assumption that,
in any future war, Americans, Britons and
Canadians will automatically and inevita-
bly, be allies. This is the vital cornerstone,
not only of this agreement, but OF the en-
tire Atlantic Pact idea. For the three
English speaking democracies possess most
of the military productive resources OF the
non Communist world. And their stand
ardization program must inevitably be an
incentive to other members of the Pact to
seek and achieve similar coordination.
The range of the program is virtually
all-inclusive It extends from the highest
staff work and the designing of arsenals'
output to command formulas and methods
of uniform telephone and radio converse
tion. While it is admitted that some years
must pass before actual military "hard-
ware" of the three nations Is uniform, the
delays and frictions which threw so much
sand into the military gears during the
last war will be progressively eliminated.
For example, henceforth, exchange OF blue
prints of weapons under development or In
production will become standard procedure,
SO that technicians of each country can
work understandingly from the others
plans. It was recalled by a Defense De-
partment spokesman that during the last
war, it took eighteen months to convert
the plans of British airplane engine so
that American machinists could work
from them. That sort of thing will not
happen "next time"
The same deep-going trend that has
wrought this achievement in the military
sphere is undoubtedly at work elsewhere.

Welcome Back

IL is ROOQ 10 nave ocIldCOT tdlucuUS1S
back In the role he has filled with SO
much distinction senior Republican
spokesman in the area of foreign AFFAIRS.
The Michigan Senator has not fully
recovered physically from the serious
operation of two months ago. But his
remarks yesterday make 1t evident that
there has been no impairment OF his talent
for keeping his eye on the main chance
and putting first things first.
For some time now there has been q
restless stirring in the Republican ranks,
a rising revolt against the me me-tooism"
which some hold responsible for the sue
cession of COP disasters at the polls. And
there is more than a suspicion that some
influential Republicans have been playing
with the idea of carrying this revolt to the
extent Of junking the bipartisan foreign
policy in the hope that some partisan
advantage could be salyaged from the
resulting discord.
Senator Vandenberg has served notice
insists that we must continue to unite
our official voice at the waters edge 50,
that America speaks with maximum au-
thority against those who would divide and
conquer us and the rest of the free world"
And he warns by indirection against the
temptation to seek partisan advantage at
the expense of the national security.
This is the real heart of the issue. In its
vital importance to the Nation 1t tram
scends by far such collateral questions as
the extent of the forthcoming cut In,
Marshall Plan aid, or the matter Of recog-
nizing Red China and Franco Spain.
These are secondary issues that will cause
us no great trouble If our approach to
them is always guided by the primary con-
Germ of doing only that which will serve
the national security, and If we con-
stantly remember, as Senator Vandenberg
said, that there is but one true test of
the things that we are doing and will
have to do. Do they serve our own iptelli-
gent self interest? If so, we must do them.
And conversely, If they do not, we must
refrain from doing them.
These things may seem obvious. But 1t Is
easy to lose sight of them in the heat OF
the partisanship that is inherent in our
political system. Senator Vandenberg has
q gift of setting such matters in their
proper perspective in language that every
one can understand And this certainly Is
not the least of the reasons for welcoming
his return to the fray.

Let the Public Decide

During the fifteen years since the annual
snow parking ban has been the rule there
has been growing criticism of the plan but
no opportunity has been afforded the pub
lie to express its feelings in formal hear
ing. The Commissioners have acted wisely,
therefore, in deciding to reconsider the
three-nonth anti-parking order at public
hearing.
The argument. for continuance of the
ban is based on the contention that even
one heavy snow during winter is suff1c-
lent to warrant the ninety day exclusion of
night parking on the city's main through
fares. It is true that one snow can cause
trouble for a week or more, If it is not
promptly removed. But heavy SHOWS are
a rarity in washington. Weather Bureau
records show that during the past fifty years
there have been only thirty SHOWS of from
six to ten inches and only twelve OF more
than ten inches. Only one snowfall OF
ten to fifteen inches can be expected every
five years and one of over fifteen inches
every quarter Of a century. And from the
current weather, it would not be surprising
il we were in for another of the mild
winters which have been experienced here
in recent years.
Against this slight risk of heavy snow
storms should be weighed the serious dis
advantages. of barring automobiles from
the only parking space available in some
Of the more densely populated sections of
the city. The scarcity of garages in some
of the older residential areas confronts
many motorists with the question Of
whether to park blocks away from their
homes or to store their cars for the winter.
Either course involves hardships that

Home for Christmas

Christmas is above all feast for chill
dren. From honoring the Christ Child, we
progress naturally to honoring all children.
It is the one day In the year when every
body conspires to make them feel that this
is wonderful world and that they are the
most important people in it-as indeed
they are. And the sight of their faces on
Christmas morning makes all the fret and
rush of the season seem abundantly worth
while.
The forty families who propose to give
the children of st. AIMS Infant Home a
family Christmas are acting in perfect
accord with the spirit OF Christmas They
are much to be commended and even more
to be envied. For their own deep pleasure
in the day is insured by the pleasure Of
these homeless children. To the young
sters, the presents and the lighted tree are
enormously exciting, although the round of
Christmas parties planned for them by
various benevolent organizations has in
some measure prepared them for all this.
The great thing for them is to be for a
while part of family; and to be the
center Of attention for brief moment in
their young lives is bliss itself Institution
children must often be treated as group:
their disciplined response is required. OF
course, they enjoy one great boon of child
hood, plenty of playmates; but when play
time is over, this is not enough They seek,
either from memory or from instinct, the
reinsurance of being tucked into bed and
other small emotional luxuries which are
not always available when there are so
many.
So the rewards for both the temporary
parents and the children will be great. But
before the Christmas glow has faded, let
us remember the gentle reminder of the
Sisters of Charity, who take care of the
children at st. AIMS. Good people every
where are always most mindful of the
claims Of children at this time of year. But
Christmas is just one day, and there are
1854 others, when the weight of routine
presses heavily on young souls. For them,
next to having family of their own, hav-
ing an outing with some family for a day
is the most wonderful thing in the world.
For Christmas let us give them our promise
not to forget it,

the totalitarian threat is not military alone.
It extends to the defense of ideas, con-
cepts, hopes, aspirations, and ways of life.
These neither need nor should be identical
in the sense that guns, tanks, and planes
can be standardized But they should
and can be co-ordinated in large patterns
of harmonious policy and idealism. That
is the larger integration toward which the
English speaking democracies are instinc-
lively working under the spur of self
preservation. -

ana pension program won Oy Cne SteeA
union. Yet, on December 10, Mr.. Lawrence
offered an estimate-based on not very
clear statistics-that in the case Of the
U. S. Steel alone, "the social insurance and
pensions will cost close to $100,000.000 q
year
further comparison of Mr.. Lawrence's
two columns on the subject Of the steel
labor settlement shows only one common
note-the allegation that the union was
solely responsible for the strike which
started on October /. To arrive at this con-
clusion, Mr.. Lawrence was forced to make
some very peculiar interpretations OF his
tory.
On December 10, for instance Mr.. Law
renee wrote that Philip Murray's response
bility for forcing up the price Of steel"
arose from the fact Of his ignoring the
recommendations of the Presidents Fact
Finding Board "a. )" It is well known and was
published in every paper IN the country,
however, that when the Presidential Fact
Finding Board made public its recommen-
dations last September, the United Steel
workers of America fatty accepted those
recommendations though acceptance
involved the sacrifice Of the unions wage
increase demand. It is also history that the
steel industry rejected the Fact-Finding
Boards recommendations, both as pack
age or even as "a basis" for further nego-
tiations.
The responsibility for the steel strike,
under these circumstances. certainly can
not be ascribed solely or even in large part.
to the steelworkers union. which showed
considerable patience during the summer
of l949 in exhausting every reasonable
remedy short Of strike.
It further should be noted that Mr..
Lawrence's estimate Of $100,000,000 as the
cost Of the pension and welfare plans at

To the Editor Of The Star:
The cartoon In Tuesdays Star December
13) presents q fair picture of the public
mind venture to suggest that Gen. Groves
and others In like position Of responsibility
hardly can be expected to answer John as
query.
TO be sure these men in responsible posi-
tions might say: 'What is fundamental to
an orderly and secure world Is the presence
Of enforceable law, and it is preciselys the
lack Of such legal restraints against the
nation state which forces us to live "a
anarchy and precludes any acceptablo an
swer to your question" :.
But even If the General were willing to
stick his neck out SO far as to risk having
himself labeled naive, dreamer, an INTEL
lectual, and even, by segment OF the press
subversive, he could not adequately inform
the American people Of the possibilities for
the creation Of an international instrument
capable of assuring to all its members Sc
curity at least against aggression. which Mr..
Churchill, In Boston last spring, said ire
mains the key Of deliverance."
The only way Of getting such Information
to John c., not necessarily for acceptance
but 1t least for study. discussion. analysis
and exploration. is through the assumption
by press and radio Of their responsible role
Of dissemination Of information, . duty they
have conspicuously avoided to date.
