Rockefeller Foundation Report

The social fruits of what Karl Marx and his
disciples critically call "the capitalist system"
are worldwide benefaction. At least this seems
a logical conclusion from reading of the 1e49
report of the Rockefeller Foundation
y With book value of $153 million, the
Foundation had roughly $40 million to give away
during the year. It appropriated $1,850000 for
medical research on an international level, a
generous portion of the money going to fight
malaria in the island of Sardinia-a natural area
for such an intensive campaign. Grants coinci-
dentally were made to long list of activities in
medical science in different centers in the United
States and in Canada, Denmark, Sweden France
the British Isles, Mexico, Peru and Japan For
the so-called natural sciences" help went to
Duke University, Cornell Purdue, the University
OF California, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow Graz
in Austria, Rio de Janeiro, the Ministry of Public
Health in Uruguay and many other institutions
But aid was not limited to laboratory re-
search Close to 100000 was sent to Mexico in
a drive to improve agriculture. A similar pro-
gram in the Colombian Republic was endowed
The Institute of Agronopy in Brazil received
$4,000 to pay for an investigation of pint
vruses Equipment and supplies were provided
for the University of San Marcos in Peru, where
the faculty of veterinary medicine needed
assistance. Meanwhile, Rockefeller money paid
for studies in economic history at Harvard, in
dustrial research at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, a program of Slavic investigation at
Vancouver, routine budget expenses of the Insti-
tute of Pacific Relations in New York and
Honolulu and systematic examination of prob
lens relating to aid to Europe under the Council
of Foreign Relations in New York.
Support likewise was accorded to studies on
"the impact of an aging population on American
society" at Berkeley and on "the validity of
survey data and of basic determinants of eco
nomic behavior at Ann Arbor, research in the
Institute of Economics at Oslo and in sociology
and demography at the London School of Eco
nomcs and research connected with the
development of code of ethical practice for
psychologists under the management of the
American Psychological Association here in
Washington.
THE field is the world" for the Rockefeller
Foundation, and this is a fact of which all con-
cerned should be proud.
AS he sets out on the far-reaching probe of
a gambling combine great things may be ex-
pected of the solon who thinks a scratch sheet
Is some kind Of sandpaper.

Senate in Mourning

Having never been among those who believe
or who profess to believe that compulsory FEPC
law would be good legislation, this newspaper is
not to be listed among those mourning its defeat
in the Senate. The most sincere believer in the
merits of FEPC, however would be hard put to
join in the Senate grieving.
The FEPC defeat came in the form of failure
to adopt proposal to limit debate on a motion
to call up the FEPC bill. The vote was 50 for
and 80 against. Since 64 favorable votes were
needed to invoke cloture, this means that FEPC
is dead for this session. Majority Leader Lucas
talks bravey of trying again, but the plain fact
is that the FEPC advocates have not the neces-
sary votes, and they know it,
In The Stars opinion, not more than a
corporals guard of Senators really believe IN
and want to adopt a compulsory FTPC. No
other issue has been so shot through with parti-
san politics as this one, and that is something
which has to be kept in mind when in the wake
of the vote the senatorial pot begins to call the
kettle black.
The Republicans obviously are trying to make
all of the political capital they can out of the
administrations embarrassment. The President
has put FEPC at the head of his civil rights pro-
gram, although it is by far the most Objectionable
of those proposals. When the test came, only
10 Democratic Senators voted for cloture and 26
voted against So it is not surprising, our politics
being what they are, that the Republicans should
be pounding the partisan drums.
Senator Taft is taking the lead. He points
out, in doleful tones, that the Democrats could
muster emily 35 per cent of their total strength
for cloture, that the President did not put pres
sure on his party members, that Majority Leader
Lucas did not bring up FEPC at the beginning
of the session, etc. But how is this to be taken?
Senator Taft heretofore has advocated a volun-
tary FEPC. Does he now favor compulsion?
Would he vote for such bill on final test?
On both counts the true answer probably is no.
The Ohio Senator, by implication rebukes the
President for not putting pressure on the Demo-
Gratis. Would he feel the same way if the issue
had been repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, and
the President had refrained from pressuring the
Democrats? And why chide Senator Lucas for
waiting to bring up FEPC? The votes for clo-
ture would not have been forthcoming at any
time, and to have brought FEPC up at the be-
ginning of the session would have delayed and
might have killed other more important legs-
lation.
So as the Senate goes into mourning over
this matter the people have reason to frown on
the whole performance It is performance
which, on both sides of the aisle unmasks politics
in its drabbest form. The only Senators who can
be said with certainty to have voted according
to their convictions are the six Republicans and
the 26 Democrats who combined to beat the
cloture move.

Biggest District Budget

There is no reason to believe that the District
will be crippled by the cuts made in the 1851
budget by the House Appropriations Committee.
Although the budget submitted by the Commits
sioners was reduced $6.3 million, the bill still
provides $112,84O34O for the city-the largest
sum ever proposed for running Washington's
municipal government. The committee fortu-
nately distributed the cuts broadly. And it made
a number of suggestions which merit careful
consideration at the District Building.
Actually, the reduction, in the end, probably
will be closer to 81 million than $63 million, for
it is very likely that Congress will agree to grant
So million for start on the long debated East
Capitol street bridge This fund was knocked
out OF the bill by the House group at a time when
the Commissioners and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission were at logger
heads over the project. Now that both parties
have come to a satisfactory understanding
regarding the Anacostia span House and Senate
may be expected to appropriate the money
needed to begin work
The prospect of a substantial surplus next
year is gratifying, for, as the committee pointed
out, it paves the way for an enlarged capital
Improvement program not covered in the pending
bill. Funds are allotted for much important
school construction work and for a number of
other long g-awaited buildings and facilities.
Police, fire, welfare and several other depart
ments were given additional facilities and man
power.
The care with which the committee per-
formed its difficult job is indicated by the number
of recommendations for studies to be made by
the Commissioners. Such questions as higher
rentals for DiStrict-oWned market properties, the
financing of school athletic contests and the use
(or misuSe) being made of official automobiles
are worth inquiring into
Less logical however, Was the slash made in
the fund asked for reimbursement of private
hospitals for treatment of INDECENT patients
The arrangement with private hospitals for care
of such patients is one made necessary by the
inadequacy of municipal hospital facilities. The
hospitals have suffered some losses in the past
because of underpayment for services rendered
to needy persons. These institutions already
hard pressed financially, should not be expected
ta incur losses on this class of patients To force
them to absorb the losses would be unfair to
patients who pay their own bills-for the latter
inevitably would have to share the burden The
full cost properly is charge against the whole
community.

canism declares in trumpet tones that to
every citizen worthy of the name the
United States is not a trough for swiniSh
greed; it is the solemn realization that
when any one tries to debunk the Ten
Commandments and the Sermon on the
Mount, he is preparing for himself hell
in this world, to say nothing of the next;
it is deep concern not as to what we
can get from our country, but what we
can give to our country; it is the radiant
faith that our American revolution was
much more fundamental than the Rus
sian revolution, and that the inSpiri~g
symbol of the common man is not Lenin,
but Lincoln.
To be an American is to believe, as we
look at any man, he, too, is child of
God-no matter what the color of his
skin. the accident of his birth or the
particular creed which he may profess;
for in the kingdom of democracy no one
has priority on abundant life. 1t means
that in this blessed Land of Room
Enough ordinary men and women, un-
Coerced, can grow to their full stature.
When we leave the territory bounded by
that faith, we forsake America and are
no longer Americans. That is why it is
suicide to become un-American. even to
defeat things that are un-American.
Americanism is not just the rule of the
majority. but the sacred rights of minori-
ties. Nowhere on earth today has any

which affects adversely the reputation of or
otherwise defames person, 1t shall be the policy
to give that person reasonable opportunity to
call witnesses in his own behalf, and otherwise
to answer adequately the charges against him"
Implementing this is list of ten rules one
of which provides that in public hearings
any person who is the subject of an investigation
may cross examine other witnesses giving testi-
mony relating to his case by submitting questions
in writing to the chairman. These questions, with
the consent of majority of the committee, will
be asked by a member or by counsel for the
committee.
AS further safeguard, all witnesses, except
high Government officials, will be questioned in
closed session before taking the stand in public
hearings. This will enable the committee to know
in advance the nature of the testimony to be
given, and will protect against injury to the
reputation of innocent people.
This committee policy and the rules of
procedure, the latter having been drafted by
subcommittee composed of Senators O'Conor OF
Maryland and Wiley of Wisconsin, should insure
fair hearings. They are indicative of an attitude
which other congressional committees might
we'll emulate.
