Fairfax and the Parkway

With the scheduled opening tomorrow of the
Key Bridge-Lorcum Lane unit of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway the necessity
Of early action by Fairfax County to carry out
its part of the Federal-State agreement on the
parkway will become more apparent. Arlington
County, having fulfilled it's obligations under the
pact, is about to receive splendid return on it's
investment. There are encouraging signs that
Fairfax finally is awakening to its responsibilities
in the project.
One sign is the creation recently of the
Fairfax County Park Authority, for the purpose
of preserving for park purposes undeveloped
land that is threatened with invasion by sub
division promoters. The parkway undertaking
faces similar threat in Fairfax County Unless
action is taken promptly to reserve right-of-
way for extension of the parkway from the
Arlington line to Great Falls the project will
run into serious difficulties.
Another augury of progress is the disclosure
that Fairfax and Federal officials are to consult
shortly on the parkway program. There will
be no discussion of plans for immediate con-
struction, of course for even If the right-of-way
were available there would be slight possibility
of obtaining priority for such a non-defense
highway as long as the emergency continues.
1t would be to the mutual advantage of Fairfax,
the State of Virginia and the Federal Govern
ment, however, to acquire the right now,
before land prices 60 higher. 1t is false economy
to delay action-as Arlington learned through
sad experience.

Completing the Investigation

Dismal experience in the past has taught
us that charges by ex-Communists and others
rejecting on past records of Enthusiastically
those considered for high public offlce-cannot
be passed over without investigation
The conduct of such Investigations, there
fore, becomes of vital Importance Investigation
Of charges against Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, as
conducted by the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee under the Craftsmanship of Senator Russell
Of Georgia, was exemplary in It's thoroughness
and the dignity Of its procedure. The unanimous
vote Of the committee in finding the charges
to be completely without foundation finds added
support in the public confidence inspired by
methods chosen to pursue the investigation.
The Star hopes that the investigation has
not ended with the clean bill of health for Mrs.
Rosenberg. The public is entitled to know some
thing about the motives and the methods of her
accusers and their collaborators And If the
committee record reveals the slightest evidence
of willful perjury, it ought to be taken for
granted that the committee will not rest until
it has placed that evidence in the hands of
the Department of Justice for prompt and
appropriate action.

A Strike for Extortion

The unauthorized" strike OF railway yard
men is an outrage that threatens to sabotage
the Nations war effort at critical hour in our
history. Technically employed by the Army,
which took over the railroads last August, these
work slackers in effect are playing the enemy
game while their fellow countrymen are fighting
for their lives and for their country in war
ravaged Korea. 1t is hard to believe that Ameri-
can workers would be capable of such shameful
responsibility
Nor can union leaders escape a share of the
blame by pious protestations of innocence The
public will not forget that only Army seizure of
the roads averted general walkout by the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order
OF Railway Conductors last August. That threat
to paralyze the country was made as our troops
were in desperate need of reinforcements and
supplies as they retreated into the Pusan beach,
head
1t is disgraceful that the Army has had
to run the railroads at home these crucial months
in order to back up the men who are giving or
risking their lives in Korea. It is even more
dlsgraceful to have large groups of union men
violate the no-strike pledge which their leaders
gave the Government when Federal operation
OF the railroads began.
This is attempted extortion, pure and simple.
The strikers are seeking to force the Govern
ment to give them something which a presi-
Dental fact-1nding board said they are not
entitled to get. The board recommended an
increase in wages of approximately IS cents
an hour, which the railroads agreed to give but
which the two unions rejected. The railroads
then offered an increase of % cents an hour
but this, too, was turned down. The unions
are demanding 31-cent raise or else Unfortu-
nately, they have been encouraged in such ex-
tortionate tactics by previous successes in over
riding recommendations of boards appointed
under the Railway Labor Act
Union officials say that the men are i'm
patient with the slow progress of negotiations,
which are in charge of Presidential Assistant
Steeman. But if the negotiations have made no
progress it is because of the all-or-n nothing
attitude which the brotherhoods have evidenced
in this and other cases. This is just another
example of what a presidential emergency board
in another dispute last August called "the grow
ing practice" of creating an emergency situation
in order to extort concessions from a special
board. To tolerate these unconsconable tactics
while the Nation arms for self-preservation
would be unthinkable. The people will demand
and support the use of every possible weapon
which the Government has at its command to
meet this reckless challenge.
