than previously, for, first, he argues like
Herbert Hoover. then like Norman Thomas
But to the argument itself.
I most certainly do believe that man can
not exist at random and not be governed by
a system OF principles adherence to which
would insure his spiritual growth and ma
terial well-being." 1t was because found
SO little of this philosophy advocated in his
first letter (and now his second) that felt
1t necessary to write at all. It was because
his rugged individualism'' is no more than
randomness without morality that l took
exception to him. Perhaps did not make
myself clear.
OF course. a man should have full rights
to what he has honestly accumulated. It is
in the meaning Of the word honestly" where
we probably differ most. II in the process of
accumulating one has violated the human
rights OF others. by what right should he
consider his accumulation inviolate? That
this Is done constantly in this economy of
ours Is self evident. Is there any one left who
would dare say that our distribution of
wealth is perfect? If not, then those of us
who have too much must have violated the
rights OF those who have too littre-except-
Ing, OF course, the INDECENT Abilities vary,
but not in the ratio that wealth accumula-
zion varies. ratios on the order of 200 to /.
IL is because mans spirit is moving to ever
hfgher planes that we have the assorted New
Deals, Fair Deals and Welfare States coming
into being. Taxation Is the device by which
the lost rights Of the less able are being re-
turned to them. VIM. H. REYNOLDS.

Suggests That Children Might Profit
From Seeing Payrollers ut Dinner
To the Editor Of The star:
The editorial "A Doubtful Lesson in Civics"
in The Star Of January L. stated that it
would be well advised for jackson Day Din
ner Chairman Charles Luckman and Demo-
cratic Committee Chairman OBoyle to re-
consider their plan for exploitation Of school
children in connection with the big doings at
the National Guard armory on February Is.
But these children might benefit from at
tending the great gathering and looking
down from the gallery on the great men
who have become permanent fixtures on
the public payroll and are making forced
donations Of 500 each to the Fair Deal
Party kitty to keep their jobs secure.
Exploitation Of school children of the
District Of Columbia in their effort to add
prestige to these money-raising affairs is
hitting q new low, but this is nothing new
to the payrollers Of the New Deal and
the Fair Deal.
It is q singular thing that Presidents who
have been responsible for running the Ma
ton into debt the deepest like to compare
themselves with Andrew jackson, who was
just the opposite kind Of man.

1t is also proof that Malik il

The Communist Party strangle-
hold on positions in the field OF
public affairs sharply limits the
opportunities open to energetic
young men and women. Only the
best make the grade.
In line with the practice of
most Russians abroad, Malik
keeps away from parties and re-
ceptions. The few. in the diplo-
matte colony here who have seen
him socially report that he is a
good host, a friendly guest and a
sparkling conversationalist with q
very good sense of humor.
In his public appearances these
amiable qualities disappear and
Malik is noted for his serious,
almost bitter, tone in U. N. de-
bate.
His years at the Soviet Insti-
tute OF Foreign Affairs, a training
school for fiedgling Soviet diplo-
mats at the University of Moscow,
emphasized the Far East. To-
day he is the acknowledged So
Wet diplomatic expert on Asia.
Since the problems of Asia, in
cluding who is to represent China
on the Security Council as well
as the Korean war, will be the
most important-perhaps the only
topics before the council in Au-
gust. Malik is well prepared to
carry out his instructions from
Moscow.

or morally indefensible. to ac-
complish Stalin's purpose.
Man of Surface Culture.
Despite this typical Soviet mar
rowness of outlook Malik is a
man of education and surface
culture. He holds a high degree
in economics and can say mo
comment" to the press of the
world in English. French and
Japanese as well as Russian and
Ukrainian.
1t is interesting to note that
Malik is a Ukrainian, born in
Kharkov, not Russian. Yet he
has become such a sturdy Russian
nationalist that he would like to
forget about his Ukrainian origin
and he has told interviewers that
he was born In Moscow.
Malik is only "A years old. But
he has already served his country
as deputy press chief in the for
eign Office, counselor of the en-
basSy in Japan, ambassador to
Japan during the crucial years
1942-45, deputy foreign minister
in charge of Far Eastern affairs
and now deputy foreign minister
and chief delegate at the United
Nations.
The rapidity Of his rise is proof
that he is sound, obedient Com
munist. In the Soviet Union you
just don't get to the top in any
field if you make theological mis-
takes along the way. That is
especially true of the diplomatic
service because it is so easy for a
dissident Russian diplomat to

and keep the Korean question at
the top of the agenda.
Malik revealed the latest Soviet
plan in a proposed agenda for
today's meeting. submitted late
yesterday and listing the China
recognition issue ahead of the
Korean conflict. This dashed the
hopes of those who had expected
RuSSia'S return to signal an i'm
portant change in Soviet foreign
policy.
Council delegates generally
agreed that a major procedural
battle would be waged over any
Russian attempt to delay debate
on the Korean conflict. Malik,
as council president for August
under the monthly rotation sys-
tenn, submits the councils pro-
visional agenda. But the council
majority has the power to adopt
any order of work it desires.
The stage was set for such
fight by United States Delegate
Warren r. Austin's surprise pro-
posal late yesterday. This called
for a new condemnation of the
North Korean invaders and
new appeal to all countries to try
to stop the fighting or at least
prevent it from spreading.
Mr. Aucfiv, ocbaI that III rnen
luton be taken up at this after
Moons council meeting.
But the wording of the draft
agenda submitted by Malik would
bar discussion of the American
proposal.
The Soviet work sheet is worded
this way:
/. Adoption of agenda.
2. Recognition of the repre-
sentative of the central peoples
government of the Peoples Re-
public of China as the represen-
tative of China.
8. Peaceful settlement of the
Korean question.
Experts were quick to note that,
in the draft Soviet agenda, the
Russians now demand recogni-
tion of Red China by the council
instead of demanding the custer
of the Chinese Nationalist repre-
sentatives, as they did last jan
uary.
The councils rejection of that
previous demand resulted in the
Russian boycott. Observers be-
lieved the new agenda proposal
indicated that Malik, as president,
might declare simply that China's
seat was vacant.

The eyes of the world will be
focused this month on Jacob A..
Malik, Soviet president of the
United Nations Security Council,
as he plays his country's diplo-
matte hand at Lake Success in a
game in which the stakes are a
continuation of precarious peace
VS.. global war.
Malik represents the new type
of Soviet diplomat, the younger
man who is wholly a product of
Communist totalitarian education
and propaganda.
Perhaps it is nothing more than
coincidence but Malik was named
deputy foreign minister of the
U. S. S. r. on the same day Maxim
Litvinov, onetime crusader for col
lective security, was dropped from
similar post.
Malik Product of System.
Men like Litvinov, whatever
their faults and they were many,
were Communists by conviction
and deliberate choice. Their years
of exile before the Russian revolu-
ton gave them a comparatively
tolerant, slightly internationalist
viewpoint. Sometimes, in their
diplomatic maneuvers. they would
even compromise or yield a point.
In contrast Malik, like Andrei
Gromyko. his predecessor at Lake
Success, is a thoroughly condi-
toned and inflexible product of
the Soviet system. Orthodox COM
munism is his religion which
means that his diplomacy is in
tolerant and unyielding. Religious

men do not compromise with their

So thorough are the indoctrina-
ton methods of RuSsia's Marxist
educational system that not even
nine years abroad in various dip
lomatic posts have been able to
strip the blindfold of Soviet chau-
vinism from Malik's eyes.
Today, as when he began his
career. Malik knows only one
guiding principle. Stain is right,

question as the first order of
business.
The Security Council itself will
determine the actual agenda by a
majority vote-with no one having
a veto on this procedural matter.
The United States, which has
consistently opposed Chinese
Communist representation in the
u. N, insists that the threat to
the whole U. N. structure raised
by the North Korean Communist
aggression in South Korea must
be ended before the Chinese ques-
ton is considered.
The American position is that
this is just not the time to go
into the Chinese representation
issue. One argument is that it

Chinese representation. Fourteen

American officials contend that
the question before the Council
today is not who is right and
who is wrong on the Chinese Com
muniSt issue. but rather a matter
of the proper time to consider it.
The United States has an
nounced that it does not consider
the matter of admitting U. N.
member a vetoable question and
that this Government will abide
by whatever majority decision is
reached on the issue. But the
American position is one of
adamant opposition to considering
the question now.

Apartment Rezoninq
Asked for Historic
Bethesda Church
By Gertrude BrodIey

The church building on Rock
vile Pike from which Bethesda
is believed to have taken it's name
may be demolished soon to make
way for a s3,000,000 l2-story
apartment house.
This was revealed last night at
a zoning hearing in Bethesda be-
fore the Montgomery County
Council. The White Fathers Of
Africa, who took over the old Be-
thesda Presbyterian Church build
ing and the 171a acres on which
it stands about five years ago, are
seeking to have the tract rezoned
from residential A to permit the
construction of apartments.
Solid Rock Base.
Milton c. White. agent for the
Catholic missionary order, said
the property now is in the process
of being sold to Walter Swanson
for apartments development. Mr..
White revealed plans for the con-
struction of two large apartment
projects, one high cost and one
low cost. to be separated only by
a cemetery. The low-cost develop
ment would contain 100 units for
rental at $50 and up. The rentals
in the other probably would start
at $l00, it was indicated The new
owners would dedicate the ceme-
terry to the county as a park
reservation.
Louis Justement, Washington
architect, who drew the plans for
the history building, said the
land on which it would be placed
lies on solid rock. This would
make it difficult and expensive to
develop single-family dwellings on
the tract, he said.
The project would be about
one-quarter mile from a multi
million dollar skyscraper type
apartment now being erected on
the Pook's Hill tract.
Petition Filed.
Warren Browning. attorney for
Mr.. Swanson, spoke of the need
for additional apartment units in

sion of the National Health In

Recognition Would Alter Situation
It has been pointed out to the
State Department that so long as
the British government had not
recognized the Communists, the
planes could be flown to a place
of safety after the American reg
istration formalities were accom-
Iplished. The situation would be-
come entirely different after the
British recognize the Peiping gov
ernment this week end. The Com
munists would then question the
legality Of the sale of Nationalist
government planes to an Ameri-
can concern. It would insist that
as a fully recognized successor of
the Kuomintang. it has q legal
right to those planes. The re-
fusal of the Hong Kong authori-
ties to permit the CAA officials
to place the American stamp OF
ownership on them strengthens
the suspicion that the British
