Titoism in Tokyo?

It is interesting, if not significant, that
the Communist Party in Tokyo has ex-
PEELED one of it's members for supporting
an, official attack made jointly by the
Cominform and Moscow's Pravda on a
leader of the Japanese Reds. In effect.
the expulsion has all the earpaarks Of
being a defiant rebuke to two Of the
Kremlin's most august mouthpieces-a
nose thumbing gesture, disreSpectful
declaration of independence, an impolite
theological snort, a rude and rebellious
notice to the Soviet Union to go fly kite
and mind its own business. Heresy of the
worst sort
Could this mean that the Kremlin has
Just seen cloud no bigger than mans
hand? Could it be portent of things
to come? Is it possibly the first tiny symp-
tom Of Titoism in Asia? And Is there a
chance that the contagion may spread to
China and eventually reach epidemic pro-
portions? The questions may be alto
gether senseless; but conceivably the Soviet
Politburo is mulling them over, not least
Of all because the fellow it tried to chas-
tise-a Marxist named Sanzo Nosaka-
was a close wartime collaboration of Mao
Tze-tung, the leader of the Chinese Reds.
The wishful cannot be blamed too much
If they find some comfort in the incident.

1t Will Always Be q Mess

The glamor boys of the Air Force are
going too far when they set out to glamor
ize the mess hall and that hated duty in
connection Herewith known as K. P. BY
any other name K P. will never smell any
sweeter to those unlucky enough to get
the assignment.
Colonel Amen, commanding the Boiling
Air Force Base, has undertaken bravely to
carry out the glamor motif within his
command, but there is good reason to
believe that he is espousing lost cause
The Boiling mess hall has been renamed
the dining hail." the mess sergeant is
food supervisor" and the kitchen police
victims are designated as flood service
attendants"
But the food is the same and the methods
of cooking and serving it are the same.
There are just as many spuds to peel,
tables to clean, floors to scrub and garbage
cans to scour as ever. Whether one is
known as K. P. or food service attend
ant, the arm and back aches are as real
as those suffered in discreet silence by
generations of kitchen police here and
abroad. t'..
Colonel Amen and his superiors will be
disillusioned If they really believe that a
change in nomenclature will fool the lads
who man the Air Force kitchens. Any
veteran can testify that any way one looks
at it, military chow Is mess for nearly
every one concerned.

Election in Egypt

The sweeping comeback of the Wafdist
Party in Egypt presages somewhat more
liberal domestic regime and continuing
Western foreign policy. The Saadists,
in power since 1945, have suffered an over
whelming defeat in the general election,
apparently because of widespread dis
satisfaction with their management of the
war in the Holy Land.
Headed by 71-year -old Mustafa Nahas
Pasha-premier in 1929-30, in 1936-37, and
again in 1924, when the British wanted
him in Office during the Nazi threat to
Suez-the Wafdists have won an absolute
parliamentary majority, their first since
boycotting the 1945 election. Though
strongly nationalistic in viewpoint and
bitterly opposed to the new state of Israel,
they lean toward policy of reform at
home and are all for cooperating with the
West abroad in checking the Red tide.
On the home front, now that they are
back in power, the Wafdists are expected
to organize a government that will relax
some of the controls-including censor
ship and martial law-still in effect in
Egypt. They are also expected to enact
moderate social and economic reforms,
such as improving the distribution of land
holdings and liberalizing the treatment
accorded communities of foreign minori-
ties in different parts of the country.
In the field of foreign policy, the Waf-
dists are not likely to effect substantial
changes. II anything, they may be even

of wire tapping, would be reversed by the
higher court.
Judge Holtzoff's view is in line with that
of Pennsylvania court, which held that
the FEC Act outlawing "interception and
divulgence" of wire messages does not
preclude having stenographer listen in on
phone conversation and transcribe it
for her employer.
Judge Holtzof made it plain, inciden-
tally that he does not approve of indis-
criminate wire tapping of the type which
involves actual tapping of line, without
knowledge of either party. His stand on
wire tapping is a sound one. He agrees
with Attorney General McGrath and his
recent predecessors that Federal wire tap
ping should be restricted to cases involving
the Nations security-as in espionage in
vestigations- to kidnapings. And even
then the intercepted information cannot
be divulged in court, under a Supreme
Court ruling-a restriction that handicaps
our counterespionage forces in their efforts
to convict spies and kidnapers.

Movinq Forward

The District Recreation Board has an
nounced two decisions which indicate that
1t is moving cautiously in the dlrectlon OF
its goal of eliminating segregation on play
grounds in areas where public sentiment
will accept such change.
One of these decisions involves the New
York avenue playground, now used py
white children. This playground is in an
area which over the years has been chang
ing from predominantly white to pre-
dominantly colored 1t is adjacent to Ter
rell Junior High School, a colored school
which is without recreation facilities OF
its own. 1t is also near Dunbar High
School, where additional facilities for
colored students are needed.
So the Recreation Board has proposed to
the Board of Education that the play
ground be made available for use by the
colored children until pm, and possibly
until 3 pm. In the later hours it will
revert to white use.
This is not solution, of course, which
will satisfy every one. But it has sub
stantial support, including that of the
Terrell PTA, and Is unquestionably an evi-
dence of progress.
The other decision was to appoint
committee to study the wisdom of open
ing the Park View playground to both
white and colored children, and the
chances are that this will be done.
Here, again, would be change sug-
gested by the changing character of a
community The playground and the Park
View School which adjoins it formerly were
white. Last year, however, when the school
had been opened for colored use, the play
ground was put on segregated basis for
colored children. These are factors which
suggest that the experiment of convert
ing the playground to non-segregated
basis can safely be tried. It may not turn
out satisfactorily. But the Recreation
Board is committed to work toward a
status of non-segregation on the play
grounds, and, in all good faith, it should
move in that direction as reasonable op-
portunities present themselves.
It is worth noting incidentally that
these Fairgrounds are not on park land,
and therefore not subject to the coercive
tactics sometimes adopted by the Interior
Department. The boards decisions have
been entirely voluntary, and consequently
are more impressive as evidence of its
sincerity of purpoSe

Letters to The Star
Challenges Saturday Evening Post Writer
To Name "Ball- and Chain" School

Challenges Saturday Evening Post Writer
To Name BALL and Chain" School
To the Editor of The Star:
The article by Frances v. Rummell en-
titled whats the Matter with our High
Schools" published in the Saturday Evening
Post of December 81, notwithstanding the
hardly convincing to those parents who have
taken the time and trouble to do some
research on the philosophy of education
dreamed up by ivory lowered educators"
and accepted CD by the overwhelming ma
jority of the men and women who are per-
mitted to sign on as teachers in the public
schools of this country.
Miss Rummell points out at length the
startling deficiencies in children's education
today and glibly attributes these deficien-
cies to the alleged fact that "hamstrung
by moth-eaten curriculums most of this
country's high schools are teaching our
children things they'll never need to know"
She then states that in her "oWn commun-
ity Montgomery County, Maryland,' there
Is confagration raging because of school
administrators attempts to cut loose from
a ball-and-chain curriculum"
challenge Miss Rummell here and now
to name just one public school in Mont
gomery County where there is. or even
has been in the past 10 years, "ball-and-
chain" curriculum from which to cut loose.
1t seems that Miss Rummell hopes her read
ers will believe that the educational def
ciencies of todays youth are due to sys-
tenn of education which has not generally
prevailed in the public schools of this coun-
try for the entire period of their primary
and secondary schooling Ridiculous, isn't
it? Or are we parents really that gullible!
What then can be the purpose of Miss
Rummells article? She clearly condemns
the present system of education, whatever
it may be. Is it, perhaps, that she hopes
to prepare the parents for some more "ex-
permentalism" in the public schools without
admitting that the great experiment in
progressive education or "developmental
education" has failed miserably? It seems
safe bet that parents from now on can
expect to hear more and more of still
another experiment in education, namely,
"life-adjustment education" And it will
be honey!
With all due respect to Miss Rummell I
urge all parents and taxpayers who really
want to know whats the matter with our
high schools" to read the recent book by
Mortimer Smith entitled "And Madly

Not Wire Topping

District Court Judge Holtzoh has drawn
a common-sense distinction between wire
tapping in the ordinary sense Of the term
and listening in on telephone conversa-
ton by consent of one of the parties in
volved. It is a distinction which other
Judges have recognized and which the,
Federal Communications Commission has
accepted in permitting the use OF record
ing devices in business offices.
In the gambling case under consideration
there was no evidence of surreptitious
interception of messages by technicians
skilled in cutting in on telephone wires at
hidden spots. The testimony showed
merely that on three occasions wire re-
cordings were made by representative
of the District Attorney of conversations
between Government witness and other
persons each instance with the per-
mission and in the presence of the Gov
eminent witness.
Judge Holtzoff admitted that his opinion
differs from that held by two members
of the three Judge Second Circuit Court
of Appeals in New York, who ruled in 1910
in a perjury case that consent of both
parties to telephone conversation must
be obtained before the conversation can
be divulged to third party. But, as the
dissenting judge of that court pointed out
at the time, strict application of such a
broad rule would prevent businessman
from debating notes of conversation to
his secretary, without first obtaining per-
mission of the person on the other end
of the line, and would even make it illegal
for any one to repeat anything told to
him over the telephone, except by prior
permission of the other party One OF
the two majority judges in the New York
case agreed with the dissenting Judge as
to the absurdity of such a development,
and expressed the hope that the majority

view of the Supreme Courts denunciation

of automobiles each year. 1t remains, I think,
the drivers of the cars who create the menace
on our highways, and therefore it is they who
should stand inspection yearly.
Mechanical failures in automobiles many
times develop suddenly and therefore seem
to prove automobile inspection a cause of
dangerous false security.
If the solution to real problem is sought.
it seems that more realistic approach would
go further to instill in the minds of the
public realization of the implications of
making automobile travel safer. If The Star
chooses to support the demand for safety
inspections, let it first point out the real
problem, blameworthy drivers.
