Thief Robs Blind
Stand II Hosnital

An unknown thief rifled the cash
drawer Of the concession stand
operated by the Society for the
Blind in Huron Road Hospital last
Thursday and made off with sixty
dollars in cash.
John Warzycki, blind operator of
the concession, left the stand for
a few minutes in charge of Thomas
Cherruy, yard man at the hospital.
During the brief lapse of one
and a half minutes between the
time Cherruy went back to his
duties and Warzycki returned,
someone entered the drawer and
departed with a bundle containing
IL five-dollar bills. Left untouched
in the drawer was other cash
amounting to $11.

Regional Airport Authority

With new national airport authorized and
an estimated II smaller airports needed within
the next decade, the National Capital Park and
Planning Commissions proposal for a regional
airport authority is worth careful consideration.
Some overall agency, similar to New York's Port
Authority, would be helpful in planning and con-
trolling airport development in the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
The estimate Of new airports which may
serve Washington and its environs in the next
ten years was given to the commission by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration. The CAA and
the commission have been cooperating in picking
possible sites for a huge air terminal to re-
lieve congestion at the present Washington Ma
tional Airport.
The present airport is operated by the CAA
It's job will be enormously increased if it is given
the added responsibility of planning, building and
operating another major air terminal here The
need for regional control will grow as additional
airports are built for personal and non-scheduled
flying. New York solved similar problem by
bringing it's public airports under the Port of
New York Authority, which already controlled
harbor, bridge and other transportation facilities

thorities in the District, Maryland and Virginia

Suffering from diabetes, she had to
use sacharine tablets.
This chemical, to many, is one of the
worst tastes in the world.
Super-sweet,, it may be called; one
grain too much and it suddenly over
whelns the user.

classic example of this system is Hollands
refusal after the First World War to hand over
the German Kaiser to the Allies, who wanted to
place him on trial. Another example is the sane
tuary granted to Trotsky by number of coun-
tries during his fight from the Stain dictator
ship. Similarly since 1945, several Western states
have offered refuge to people running away from
the Soviet Union and its satelites-people
branded as Criminals behind the Iron Curtain
All of which makes one wonder about the
precise significance of the World Courts ruling
that Colombia is not entitled to decide uni
laterally that Mr.. Haya de la Tore is political
refugee. Does this mean that the long-estab-
lished rules of asylum are now amended? A
word of explanation is needed from the Court.

DEMOCRATIC political analysts have
- concluded that the setbacks Of
November are traceable to defec-
tions in the urban vote, which were in
fluenced "unquestionably'' by % "Mc-
Carthyism";; 60 worry about war and
draft; 90 high living costs and "a the
tremendous propaganda" Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, which has been
waging bitter fight on President
Truman's health insurance program.
Failure of labor to turn out "as well
as 1t should have" Is tossed In as an
added factor.
These findings sum up survey by
party workers which has been made
available to leaders who wanted an over
all picture of the results of the vote on
q State-by-State basis, especially since
their advance calculations were upset
so badly.
Going along with the contention Of
President Truman at his last news
conference that the returns often re-
fiected local situations and could be
explained on that basis, the survey
generally seeks to pin-point conditions
in the States where the principal battles
were waged. This narrowing of issues.
however, is not attempted in Ohio and
Illinois, where the smashing victory Of
Senator Taft, Republican. and defeat Of
Senator Lucas, Democrat, respectively.
amounted to major reverses, national in
character.
The survey disputes the false con-
clusion" that the election demonstrated
that the farm vote is being weaned from
the Democrats. It stresses also the argu-
ment of President Truman that the
losses In Senate and House-the net
was 5 and % respectiyely-were far
under those customarily sustained by
the party in power in an off-year.
with the exception of 1884 (when
the Democrats picked up on both sides
of the CapitoD the average mid-term
loss in the House since 1914 has been
48 Seats" the survey says. Even If you
include the phenomenal Democratic
gains Of 1884 in this average. the party
in power has lost an average of over
Al seats in mid-term elections"
Going further. 1t is pointed out that In
1916, "a million votes for House men,
bers produced 1873 Democratic seats; in
1850. 40-41 million netted 235 Democratic
seats. and in 1948. 46 million votes
brought 262 Democratic seats.

"Help!" he yelled. "She is trying to
commit suicide, right in front of my
counter"
These silly stories remind one Of an
equally silly one from Moliere's "The
Physician in Spite Of Himself"
An ignorant but shrewd charactey
named Sganarelle must choose between
taking beating or posing as physician.
He chooses to be a doctor.
Here is the scene as Moliere told 1t:
SGANARELLE: Thus these vapors
which I speak of. passing from the left
side, where the liver is, to the right side,
where we find the heart, it so happens
that the lungs having communication
with the brain, meet in their course the
said vapors. and that is the precise rea-
son why your daughter is dumb.
THE FATHER: It is impossible to
argue better. There is but one thing that
I cannot exactly make out: That is the
whereabouts of the liver and the heart.
It appears to me that you place them
differently from what they are: the heart
is surely on the left side and the liver
on the right.
SGANAREILE: Yes, this was so for
merly. but we have changed all that and
we nowadays practice the art on an en-
tirely new system.

Mr.. Pond on the Bonds

am sorry that Stan Stanton, In
a recent letter to The Star, holds the
Arlington Citizens Committee for School
Improvement, and myself, responsible for
the defeat Of the school bond referen-
dunn in the November Arlington County
election.
However. he is probably quite right in
suggesting the citizens committee made
mistakes during the campaign. I'm sure
great many mistakes were made. If
that were not the case, the proposal
could not have been beaten by an op-
position which based its campaign on the
simple technique of endlessly repeating
false figures and misleading statements
If our campaign had been perfectly con-
Quoted. and still had lost to opponents
who maliciously and unscrupulously
spread misinformation, then our faith
In the electoral process would indeed
have little basis.
7 am willing to take my share of the
blame-or all of it, for that matter-if
by fixing blame the supporters Of new
school construction can get their minds
fully onto the task that still lies ahead.
That task is to explain over and over
to the people of Arlington that defeat
Of the bond issue did not solve the prob
lem. Our $4,000 children (only 10000
in school; 10000 still to enter) must have
new schools. Presumably another bond
election will have to be scheduled within
a few months. Many of the persons
who voted against the bonds will have
to be convinced that to "pay as we use"
through a bond issue is really the only
way to keep the children from half day
sessions. from attending school in make
shift quarters. and from over-crowded
classes beyond the capacity Of teachers
to teach.

Behind Closed Doors

Senator Kilgore unquestionably is right when
he says that any re-examination of our foreign
policy should be conducted in private.
There is no other rational way in which this
inquiry can be held. public review of these
matters Is out for at least three reasons It prob
ably would degenerate into partisan political
debate. It would hardly be possible to examine
the facts of our relations, both present and pro-
spectve, with friendly countries with that degree
of candor which the seriousness of the matter
requires. And, finally, we would surely drive a
wedge between our friends and ourselves If the
essential questions should be asked and answered
in public forum.
The fact that this re-examination must be
made privately If it is to serve any useful pur-
pose does not mean, however, that it should be
any the less searching and determined
To say that our own future and the future
OF the free world depend upon the soundness of
the premises which underlie our foreign policy is
not an exaggeration. 1t can be said with equal
confidence that major error in these premises
Is very apt to prove fatal, that the forces Of
destruction which will be unleashed in another
world war will deny us any opportunity to muddle
through by the trial-and-error method.
So those premises should be re-examined
with cold and critical eye. Their validity may
have been affected by the lessons of Korea, by
evidence of changing attitudes in other countries,
by an appraisal of the new commitments which
loom ahead Of us and our capacity to meet them.
This most certainly does not mean that we
should waver or turn back merely because the
climb is sleeper than many of us anticipated. A
foreign policy is not something that can be
changed with every shift In the wind It must
have certain measure Of constancy and con-
tinuity. But neither does 1t follow that foreign
policy should remain unchanged If new facts
clearly point to the desirability or the need for
change. It is foolish to pull up growing crops
to see how the seeds are doing. It is equally
foolish to ignore changes in the weather after
the seeds have been planted.
There have been enough changes in the in
ternatonal climate to justify and even to dictate
re-examination Of our foreign policy. This
should be done for the single purpose of ascer-
tanning whether present policy continues to serve
our best national interests. There Is no room in
such an inquiry for partisan maneuvering.
Neither is there place for stubborn adherence,
regardless Of facts to old positions. What Is
needed is a new look at this whole matter. We
should not be afraid to take it. If the soundness
of the original premises is confirmed we should
resolutely pursue our present program. If changes
are indicated we should make them

ASYLUM and the World Court

Peru's dispute with Colombia-a dispute in
volving the age-old principle of asylurn-still
seems to be pretty much up in the air in spite
of what the International Court of Justice has
Just had to say about it.
The case revolves around the person Of Victor
Raul Haya de la Tore, Peruvian who heads
powerful political organization called the Arneri-
can Peoples Revolutionary Alliance Since early
In 1949 Mr.. Haya de la Tore has been living in
the Colombian Embassy in Lima, Peru, having
been granted asylum there against Perus efforts
to take him into custody.
In its appeal to the World Court the Peruvian
government has placed special emphasis on the
following points: () That Colombia has given
sanctuary to man accused by Peru of common
law crime, (2) that this action contravenes Latin
American treaties governing such situations, and
60 that the Colombian authorities have no right
to declare Mr.. Haya de la Tore political refugee
or to protect him as such.
The World Court, in response to these argu-
ments, has now ruled Cd that Peru is wrong in
It's contention as to the mans criminal status,
but (2) that it is right in claiming that the
treaties have been contravened and 90 that
Colombia is not entitled to decide unlaterally
that person seeking asylum is political refu-
gee Since rulings l and seem somewhat at
odds with each other, and since no explicit de-
cision has been rendered as to whether or not
Mr.. Haya de la Tore should be handed over to
the Peruvians it is not surprising that the Co.
lombians have petitioned the Court to clarity
and interpret its own findings
Certainly, such clarihcation would be helpful.
For the Courts decisions tend to raise measure
of doubt regarding what has long had general
International acceptance. Thus, for generations
past, governments have viewed it as the sovereign
right of any country to grant to fugitives from
other countries asylum within its own territory
or in its embassies abroad. The only limitations
placed on that right-apart from those agreed
upon in special extradiction treaties-have been
(1) that such protection be confined to political
offenders as distinct from criminals and (2) that

Using Land to Better ADVANTAGE

One section Of the summary planning report
of the National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission (the text of which is being published
serially in The Starr concerns problem which is
becoming increasingly serious as Washington
continues its growth. This is the occupancy of
large land areas in the District by Government
institutions having relation to activities of the
Seat Of Government.
The commission made special references to
the National Training School for Boys, on
Bladensburg Road, Northeast, and to the Soldiers
Home, in the Northwest. The report specifically
recommended removal of the school to some place
outside the District of Columbia, thus releasing
for recreational or other uses approximately 400
acres of rolling land owned by the Federal Gov
ernment
AS for the Soldiers Home, the commission
would like to see the home az least confined to a
smaller area plan which would reduce the
present grounds almost third, freeing the re-
mainder for hospital purposes, is under con-
sidefation. The plan involves construction of a
Veterans Administration Hospital and a Wash
ington Hospital Center at the south end of the
old reservation.
The commission points out that there are q
number of such reservations in the District that
should be studied in connection with the search
for space. Its proposal that a special board be
created by Congress to make this study is a good
one. The board in collaboration with the COM
mission, would be authorized to advise Congress
on the question of moving some Institutions or
OF reducing their holdings. Such an inquiry
might turn up lot of space which could be used
to much better advantage than is the case today
