impose a policy which the community Is
not ready to accept. How could a Fed
eral official possibly act in any other
way? Secretary Chapman stated the po-
sition honestly and precisely in his state
ment to the press when he said: IT is
the duty Of the Government to provide
swimming pools and other recreational
facilities which are essential to the pub
lie welfare and to make them available
to all Of the people. BY the same token,
the Government does not compel people
to use these facilities. 1t is, however, the
responsibility of the Government to pro-
tect the rights of all of the citizens who
choose to use such public services"
We believe that 1t Is the responsibility
of the civic groups and newspapers and
radios in the community to help carry
out this policy. This can be done in a
quiet. orderly way. as it has been done
in many other communities in the
United States.
For its part. the Department Of In
terror Is preparing staff and police for
the summer swimming pool program. We
call on responsible elements in the COM
munity to support and help carry out
this program.

A. D. A. on Swimming Pools

The Washington Chapter of Americans
for Democratic Action strongly supports
Secretary Chapman and the Department
of the Interior in it's position regarding
the swimming pools. We believe that the
Secretary acted in accordance with long
established and democratic practices in
insisting that swimming pools turned
over to the Board Of Recreation be nom
segregated.
It has been an accepted principle that
the Federal Government serves all of
the people without regard to race. color
or creed. When the Federal Government
has turned over such recreational facil-
tiles as golf courses, tennis courts, boat
ing and bicycle concessions in the Dis
trict during recent years. the Recreation
Board has accepted the condition that
these facilities should be operated upon q
basis Of non- segregation.
Now when the Department Of Interior
has offered to turn over six swimming
pools, provided that they be operated in
this same fashion, the Recreation Board
has refused. and charges are being made
that Secretary Chapman Is attempting to

Telling Our Story

There can be little disagreement with the
Presidents appeal for "a great campaign of
truth" to combat Communist propaganda and
to get our own story before the nations of the
world.
Much is being done along this line, of course,
at the present time. But there is ample room
for further effort AS the President told the
American Society of Newspaper Editors, the
truth is an important weapon in the battle being
waged for the minds of men. We are spending
billions of dollars to maintain our armed strength,
to bolster the military power of our friends and
to strengthen them economically. All of this is
essential. But 1t Is apt to prove to be futile
effort If we let the Communists win the propa-
ganda battle.
Most Americans are indifferent If not hostile
to propaganda. The word inspires dstrust. We
know what 1t ans to live in a country and
under political system which has given us
liberty, the freedom to plan our own lives, and
O great abundance of the material things. We

This and That

Miracles, some people say, are un-
believable.
A little girl said, Faith is believing
in something you know isn't so."
But every day there are things hap
pening that seem impossible.
Consider that blue egg on Easter Mon
day.
1t rolled down the aisle of a crowded
bus that stopped at the Zoo.
It landed on the bottom step, and
remained there while scores of trampling
feet went ever it.

On the bottom step
Unharmed, undented and unbroken!
People who knew it was there watched
with baited breath, as the old way of
putting such things was, and people who

in and out the bus.
The egg rolled back and forth.
Not a foot touched it.
1t did not roll out.
When It arrived at the circle, one of
the watchers picked it up.

A mockingbird settled the matter.
He made such a sound of singing off
to the left that he fairly shrieked to the
world:
Put that egg to some good use! Throw
it over here, and some Of my friends
will eat 1t. They seldom get eggs for
supper"
He who had accompanied the egg
from the Zoo held 1t thoughtfully in
his right hand.
It was an egg befitting pleasant day,
an egg with memories, an egg Of achieve
ment.
Should he throw 1t overland, or Just
give 1t q toss underhand?
There was q fat-breasted robin not
too far off.
The holder of the egg realized that
his pitching arm was not what 1t used
to be, so he decided on an underhand job
Swish!
Away went the egg. 1t went up over
the evergreens and landed with thunk

He could see that bird appraising It.

Unfair to Reserve Officers

To maintain it's active strength, the
Air Force must depend upon the Reserve
forces for a vast majority of its officer
personnel. This being true, one might
assume that the Air Force would give at
least the same consideration to its Re-
serve officers on active duty as it gives to
its regular officers.
But in the Air Force thousands of
reserve officers are required, If they want
active duty, to serve in grades lower than
the permanent grades which they hold
in the Air Force Reserve It Is not
question Of lack of money or lack Of
suitable assignments. While Reserve Of
ficers are serving in lower grades, regu-
lar Air Force officers are serving in grades
that are one, two, and In some cases.
even more notches higher than their
permanent grades. In no case Is regu-
lar officer required to serve In q grade
lower than his permanent grade.
Now these regular officers who are
serving in the advanced grades are not
older, wiser. more capable. or more ex-
perienced than their Reserve brothers.
In most cases, the reverse is true. The
regulars are advanced and the Reserves
are held back simply because of their
categories. Of course there are excep-
tions where Reserve officers with West
Point backgrounds are advanced.
This situation while legal, Is not only
unjust, 1t is intolerable. While funds are
available, every Reserve officer should be
permitted to perform duty in his per-
manent grade. If it is found that Re-
serve officer is not qualified to perform
duty in his permanent grade, he should
ha Serorated or dpmotod to a lower rer-
manent grade.

Helping the States Fight Crime

Senate passage without debate of the Depart
ment of Justice-sponsored bill to ban shipment
of "one armed bandit" slot machines to States
where they are outlawed is good indication of
the determination of Congress to assist local
authorities in their war on crime. Such aid
should be given whenever and wherever possible
provided always that the line between Federal
and local law enforcement responsibilities is not
transgressed
FBI Director Hoover has testified that such
a law would hamper the operations of large gam
bling syndicates. Police in many Jurisdictions
have found not only that the slot machines are
rigged so as never to give the suckers break,
but that the business breeds racketeering and
violence. It is for these reasons especially the
latter one, that the devices have been made
illegal in number of States, counties and mu
inequalities. Representatives of these jurisdic-
tionS at the recent crime conference here asked
for Federal help in dealing with the problem.
There is another pending anti-crime bill,
also sponsored by the Attorney General, which
calls for much more deliberation than the Senate
gave the slot-machine measure. This is the
proposal to bar use of interstate communications
for transmission of gambling information" AS
The Star has pointed out heretofore the bill Is
SO loosely drawn and SO potentially broad in scope
as to threaten legitimate broadcasting by radio
or JeleVlSlon OF morse races at Jne Clme OF run
ming. 1t has other questionable features. No
urgent need for such drastic legislation has been
shown. The fact is that the Federal Communi-
cations Commission already has afforded local
authorities means of banning use of communi-
cations for illegal purposes, under special regu-
lations authorizing removal of facilities when
police attest their illegal use. This bill should
not be passed in It's present form-and 1t should
not be passed In any form until better showing
is made by It's sponsors as to the need for this
type of aid to State authorities.

Rising French Birth Rate

An exhaustive report made by the French
Topographic Institute has just been concluded
on the sharp rise in the French birth rate during
the past decade and its apparent stabilization
on level higher than any in nearly a century.
This unexpected development again shows the
difficulty of evaluating vital statistics and still
more of plotting future trends.
France has hitherto been taken as the classic
and dependable example Of a general process in
virtually all Western nations toward stationary
or even declining population In France, this
process showed up earliest shortly after the
Napoleonic Wars. Previously, France had had
high birth rate, being actually the most popu-
lous country in Europe at the turn of the nine
teenth century. But by 1890 growth had virtually
ceased, and In some years there was an excess
of deaths over births. The expected rise In births
after World War I was moderate and short
lived. The present upswing, as already remarked,
began in 1885, simultaneously with the outbreak
of World War II, and though 1t has now receded
from its immediate postwar peak, 1t shows no
sign of relapsing to former low levels It now
runs 40 per cent above prewar.
The institute regards this as fact without
parallel in history, seeming to indicate an actual
transformation of French attitudes regarding
maternity and not merely due to temporary
factors
OF course, one should not be tempted to draw
too broad conclusions with the current birth-rate
rises in France and the United States. Never
theless, there is considerable evidence to show
that we may be in the presence of factors that
must be explained, not only in purely material
terms, but also on the basis of changing social,
idealstic and spiritual attitudes. If true, this
is especially significant as being the antithess
of that hard economic determinism which is the
basis of communism. It could, therefore, denote
a revolution of the free world against the Com
munist menace much deeper and more instructive
than anything previously apparent

This Is Getting to Be Monotonous

Monotonous and silly though it may be, 1t
looks as II Congress Is going to give the local
daylight saving bill the usual annual merry go
round treatment Year after year Congress kicks
this legislation around until the last minute
or later-and then hastily agrees to a one-year
resumption of daylight saving for Washington.
And year after year the same old irrelevant
arguments against the bill are made by legisla-
tors who have farmer constituents.
That Congress never profits by the time
wasting experiences of the past was demonstrated
in the Senate when the bill to give the Comms-
sioners permanent authority to proclaim daylight
saving for the District was called up for con-
sderation. Only one objection was needed to
long in coming. Senator Mcclellan of Arkansas,
who represents lot of farmers west of the
Mississippi, objected So did Senator Robertson
of Virginia, who spoke for farmers of his own
State and Maryland, as well.
It is probably true that farmers generally
do not like "fast" time. But it is also true that
the people of the District of Columbia, or at
least an overwhelming majority OF them-as the
recent referendum indicated-do like it. The
bill in question is designed to let these local
people have it If they want it, without the repe-
titious business of having Congress pass special
bill every year. Senator Lucas of Illinois, who
also represents many farmers, took a common
sense view when he told his colleagues: II think
they (the people of the DistricD are really en-
titled to make this decision themselves. II the
people of the District of Columbia want daylight
saving time, it seems to they ought to have it;
and simply because come from Illinois or be-
cause some one else comes from Virginia and I
am being affected slightly in Illinois because of
what is happening here in the Districts no
reason why the people Of the District should not
have It,"
That is the only real issue at stake-whether
or not Washington prefers daylight saving to
standard time. The bill on which action was
postponed would relieve Congress of the tiresome
task of considering this purely local matter every
year. What farmers elsewhere think about day.
light saving should have no bearing on the
question

AIRS Well That Ends Well

Municipal Court Judge Fennell's decision
that newspaper reporters are entitled as matter
of right to attend criminal trials straightens out
what was threatening to become a fantastic
state of affairs
The issue arose in the trial of man accused
by two young girls of sex offense. When that
kind of case is on trial, newspapers in-The Stars
opinion at least, should refrain from publishing
the names of complaining witnesses. There are
several reasons for this. Publicity tends to SUBJ
ject the innocent complainant to needless en-
barrassment. In some cases fear of publicity
deters the victim of a sex offense from appearing
ss witness, and that, obviously tends to hamper
law enforcement and to work an injury to the
public by enabling offenders to escape punish
ment
But no such question as this was before
Judge Fennell. His tentative move to exclude
reporters was made, not to protect the victims
of the ofense, but to shield the accused offender.
That Is not proper business for any court to be
in. An accused man has certain rights, primarily
the right to fair trial, and he is entitled to
full benefit of them. But he is not entitled to
have the facts of his case covered up by the
court merely because his lawyers may believe
him to be innocent and because they look upon
reporters as "intruders" at the trial.
The people of the community have an inter-
est in these matters which ought not to be over
looked. When a person is accused of sex
offense, or any other offense the public has
right to know what the facts are and the news
papers have both the duty and the right to
report those facts honestly, provided only that
they do not obstruct the administration of justice
Closed trials are star chamber proceedings, and
In the long run they hold greater promise of real
injury to all concerned. This is the view that
Judge Fenneu seems to have taken, and The Star
believes 1t is the correct view.

Proof of Our Decuy'

The disappearance of economic equal
ity and honorable freedom is positive
proof of our political democratic decay.
The United States is fast becoming a
police state under the banner of New
Dealism. The longer the New Deal holds
its evil spell over the American people.
the more difficult it becomes to preserve
personality and democracy. The ever
growing powers of the New Deal over
our traditional way of life. which is
being torn asunder by bureaucratic
planning schemes inspired by Socialists
and Communists and their twin, medio-
Gritty. makes 1t more than obvious.
especially to those of us who do not
subscribe to New Deal political and eco
nomic corruption. that democracy in the
United States Is on the way out.

Cabinet Changes in Greece

In Greece the expected happened when the
short-lved government headed by Premier
Sophocles venizelos resigned and General
Nicholas Plastiras was handed mandate from
the King to form q new cabinet. Premier
Venizelos' position had been shaky and anomalous
from the first. It became obviously untenable
when our Ambassador, Henry F. Grady, sent
him letter broadly limiting that Mr.. Venizelos
should either resign or broaden his government
to include other center parties. Our Ambassador
added pointedly that the United States could not
continue to extend economic aid to any but
broadly representative government. With Greece
vtally dependent on American economic assist
ance and diplomatic support, there
alternative but compliance with the American
viewpoint.
That our Intervention was justified, not
only because of our own stake in Greek stability
and recovery but also in the best interests of
Greece itself, Is clear from the record The out
come of the recent elections showed that
majority of the Greek people wanted coalition
government trif1e left of center, which would
transcend the rancors left by the civil war and
tackle effectively the imperative problems of
national reconstruction.
These vital tasks the Venizelos government
could not perform. It arose out of backstairs
intrigue between MFR. Venizelos and former
Premier Constantin Tsaldaris BY this slick bar
gain Venizeos and his Liberal party, which had
only trif1e over go seats in a Chamber of $50
members, was to be supported by TSaldarls
reactionary Populists plus other extreme Fright
groups. This situation was not only counter to
parliamentary practice but left the Liberal
minority cabinet continually at the mercy of
the rightists though the latter had been just
been discredted at the polls and assumed no
overt responsibility
That was certainly not what the Greek people
had expected from the elections. Indeed, Mr..
venzelos had previously indicated his willing
ness to enter a coalition cabinet, presumably
headed by General Plastiras who had proved
the most popular candidate and had aroused the
greatest popular confidence Venizelos' exit makes
possible carrying out OF the popular will
