1t Is Mr.. Chopmon's Responsibility

Secretary Chapmans offer to turn over to
the Recreation Board six of the city's outdoor
swimming pools, on condition that there be no
segregation evidently brings to an end the recent
negotiations in search of more acceptable plan
The board has declined this offer in the past
and its chairman Harry S. Wender, has recon-
mended that it do so again.
The responsibility should remain with the
Interior Department. That responsibility, delib-
erately chosen, is to demonstrate the accept
ability of racally mixed use of municipal SWIM
ming pools in a community which has shown
no indications that it is prepared to go so far
80 fast
The plan received it's first test last summer
The Anacostia pool was closed, after brief
riot 1t remained closed for the remainder of
the season. The repetition of such disorder can
be avoided by adequate police protection and
the Park Police have been undergoing training
In this connection
The Mckinley pool presented another pat
tern, for the new policy there resulted in change
OF patronage from white to coored-with sharp
decline in the number of people who used the
pool. Two other pools previously designated for
white-East Potomac and Takoma-continued
to operate without incident, for few if any
colored people attempted to use them.
The Star regrets that Mr.. Chapman has
chosen to make this decision. more gradual
approach, as decided on recently in st. Louis,
might have been closer to reality. The Interior
Departments control of certain swimming pools
in Washington is the result of the unique divi-
sions of authority characteristic of government
in this Federal City. 1t is an unnatural and
Illogical arrangement which finds great de-
partment of the Federal Government arbitrarily
attempting to enforce certain abstract prin-
ciples for the solution of the intimate neigh
borhood problems of a large city and doing
10 without heed to local custom or sentiment
While the wisdom of the decision remains
to be tested by experience it is difficult to believe
that any desirable purpose is being achieved in
the field of improved race relations or in organ
lied public recreation.

Bonn, the Soor and Strosbouro

The decision of the Council of Europe to
invite the West German Federal Republic to asso-
ciate membership poses concretely the relation of
West Germany to the remainder of Western
Europe. Under normal circumstances, such an
invitation would be welcomed by the West Ger
mans for both prestige and practical reasons.
Unfortunately the matter is complicated by the
Councils simultaneous invitation to the Saar to
similar associate membership This raises in
acute form an issue which beclouds relations be-
tween West Germany and France, and which
also arouses German nationalist passions to
high degree.
With the assent Of America and Britain
France has fully integrated the Saar, with its
rich coalfelds and heavy industry into the
French economy, and has established a local
government largely beholden to France All this
has been done against heated protests by the
Germans, who consider this yelled annexation
To be sure, the ultimate political destiny of the
Saar Is to be reserved for a general German
peace settlement. But such settlement appears
far distant, and meanwhile the Germans feel
that the saars destiny is being determined by the
accomplished facts" of French economic integra-
ton and control
Under these circumstances, Germans fear
that acceptance of associate membership in the
Council of Europe on equal terms with the Saar
would imply their tact acquiescence in the Saar's
separation from Germany which would preju-
dice their case for eventual political reunion of
the Saar. The issue looms so large in German
eyes that powerful sections of West German
opinion think the Bonn government should re-
fuse the council invitation so long as the Saar
is likewise hidden to associate membership. That
is emphatically the stand Of the Social Demo-
Gratis, the strongest opposition party in the Fed
eral Parliament together with the strongly ma
tionalist rghtist groups.
But West Germany's refusal of the invitation
would be most unfortunate Despite its embryonic
character the Council Of Europe is hopeful
beginning toward union of the continent under
democratic institutions and ideals AS Secretary
Acheson and High Commissioner McCloy have
just re-emphasized, Germany's integration with
Free Europe" is vitality needed and should be
carried out as rapidly as possible. With France
anxious to promote such development In close
association with Britain, . German refusal to
participate might have grave consequences.

Letters to The Star

The time has come when they should be
required to face the facts.
There has been no discrimination
against them. They have exactly the
same privilege of voting as the 95 mil
lion qualified voters in the United States,
The statement usually made is that resi-
dents Of the District are not allowed to
vote. That is not correct. About $4,000
OF them actually do vote, and the others
could If they would do what those voters
have done to qualify.
The statement should be that residents
OF the District are not allowed to vote
in the District. But that restriction does
not apply only to District residents but
to all the other 95 million voters. No
one, not even the President, is allowed
to vote in the District In political elec-
tions. The District is Federal reserva-
ton, maintained to serve an essential
function of the Government, and is un-
der the exclusive control of Congress.
No citizen has an inalienable right to
enter the reservation or to establish a
residence in it. Congress has the power
to decide who should be allowed ad-
mittance to the District.
These facts show that the District resi-
dents who have complained so long
about being disfranchised are persons
who have not been serious enough about
their patriotism to qualify as voters; or
perhaps they are ignorant Of their elec-
toral status. After the facts have been
made clear to them, qualifications as
voters should be required of them by
Congress as a condition for maintaining
residence in the District No person
so lacking in a sense of civic duty as to
fail to qualify as voter should be per-
mitted to live in the District.
That is solution to the District suf-
frage problem, and that, briefly, is an
answer to your question, But How
About the District?"
George Frederick Miller.

More Planes for Safety

Chairman Vinson of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee has strong military support for
his proposal to raise the pending budget for
military planes by half billion dollars. Mr..
Wilson'S urgent request to the House follows
General Eisenhower's recent warning that some
phases of national defense, especially arpoWer,
have been cut too low for safety.
General Eisenhower told Senate subcom-
mittee last week that the budget now before
Congress was not built entirely in accord with
his specifications although it is known at the
Pentagon as "Ikes budget" He said he was
ordered to make certain additional reductions
of which he disapproved. One of these was in
the funds for maintaining the 48-group Air
Force, another in the allotment for anti
submarine warfare He felt that the 48 groups
could not be kept fully eperational and fully
effective unless more new planes for replace
ment of old types were made available Air
Secretary Symington had expressed similar
views at committee hearings. And now the
latest opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is to
be sought by Defense Secretary Johnson.
The vinson plan would provide the Air Force
with 5000 million additional for keeping steady
flow OF reinforcements to the 48 groups. In
addition, $500 million more would be appropri-
ated for naval aviation, largely to strengthen
anti-submarine reconnaissance and attack units.
Admiral Sherman has expressed publicly his
fear that the anti-submarine forces are not as
strong as they should be. Planes of the naval
air arm are not up to standard, the Chief of
Naval Operations declared.
AS Admiral Sherman has commented philo-
sophically, military men never are completely
satisfied with what they get from Congress.
What he meant is that line must be drawn
somewhere on military spending in peacetime,
and the line always falls short of what the
experts consider to be maximum security or
ganization. Neither General Eisenhower nor
Admiral Sherman is a jingoist They realize
that there must be a limit on defense expendi-
lures. It is with full realization of this eco
nomic fact that both have voiced their warnings.
Therefore, their views should carry a lot of
weight at the Capitol.

Israel Planning Elections;
Interim Cabinet Rejected
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Oct. 18.-Israeli
political leaders today faced the
task of setting up a caretaker
government pending the national
elections authorized by the Knes-
set (ParliamenD
The Knesset voted yesterday to
dissolve and call new elections.
Earlier it rejected outgoing
Premier David Ben-Gurion's pro-
posed interim cabinet.
His suggestion that eight men,
bers of his present cabinet be
retained as the caretaker group
was voted down, 81 to 43. with
only Ben-Gurion's Mapai Labor)
Party supporting it.
-Gurion resigned Sunday
after three members of the con-
servative religious bloc withdrew
from his cabinet in opposition to
a proposed cabinet shift to deal
with Israeps financial problem.

If there is anything the Ethyl
Corp. doesn't want, it's to have
automobiles run out of gasoline.
But to put over a good point,
the corporation staged a running
QUITO gasoline contest on Mount
Vernon highway yesterday, fea-
turing a 1921 model Cadillac,
which stole the show but still put
over the point:
Motorists of 1850 are getting
better gasoline than ever before.
To do it, Ethyl's engineers used
a 1850 Cadillac, a 1850 and 1949
Oldsmobile and sent them over
measured courses on the highway.
Spectators included representa-
tives of the Bureau of Standards,
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Evening star., 1950-10-18

the Armed Services, Federal
Trade Commission and the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
The program, cognizant of this
weeks observance of Oil Progress
Week, was staged in cooperation
with the Oil Industry Information
Committee and was presented in
three events.
In the acceleration class, the
ancient Cadillac, using 1925 gaso-
line, competed with the 1850 Cad
lilac burning 1850 fuel. Paced at
10 miles an hour for a start, the
two were head to head only for
an instant. The new model rapidly
pulled away. The 1921 model,
under force feed, sounded as
though it had square bearings.
The 1850 covered 1870 feet in
Evening star., 1950-10-18

the 20 seconds allowed. The 1921
model did $50 feet.
In fuel economy. the tests put
a 1949 Oldsmobile. a 1850 Olds-
mobile, both with experimental
engines, and the 1921 Cadillac
over a course determined only by
how long they could run on one-
tenth of gallon of gasoline.
Cruising at a constant 80 miles
an hour, the three cars made
these averages, based on miles
per gallon:
1949 Oldsmobile - 1925 and
1906.
1850 Oldsmobile - 20.80 and
22.19.
1921 Cadillac-12.97 and 1881.
It was the second demonstra-
ton staged by the corporation.
