Tough for Criminals

House passage of the Davis anti-crime bill
provides further evidence of the fact that things
are getting tough all over for. those who live
outside the law. The Davis committee, in effect,
has been local Kefauver committee. Out OF
Its investigation into many phases Of the District
crime problem has come the stern legislation
which now awaits Senate action. If the Senate,
too, approves of this legislation, the hand of
law enforcement will be greatly strengthened
here. And that will help to dispel the notion
that seems to prevail that Washington is a
"soft spot" for criminals.
Contributing to the disillusionment Of law
less elements who may have had such notion
would be numerous amendments to the criminal
code that will make life more dangerous and
altogether miserable for many types of offenders.
One Of the drastic provisions would fix stiff
minimum penalties for such serious and fire.
quently recurring crimes as armed robbery,
housebreaking at night, rape, assault with intent
to commit rape and second -offense crimes Of
violence in general The mere existence of
such a law would serve as deterrent to many
would-be offenders. If there is anything that
will make criminal stop and think it Is the
knowledge that he will go to jail for specific
term If caught and convicted. The provision,
as it now stands, would be in conflict to some
extent with the proposed amendment to bring
the District within the scope OF the National
Youth Corrections Act. The minimum sentence
plan should not apply OF course, in the case OF
youths whom the rehabilitation law is designed
to help, and Congress should see that there Is
no conflict between the two bills.
Another provision of the Davis bill would
give District authorities the power to regulate
the crime-breeding bottle clubs" out OF exist
ence The House amended this section to prevent
these night spots from operating "after hours
thus eliminating the chief reason for their exist
ence The bill also would crack down on the
carrying Of dangerous weapons, tighten up on
disorderly conduct, gambling and. sex ofense
laws and improve prosecution and police admin
istration The Senate should be willing partner
In this promising law-enforcement enterprise IN
the Nations Capital.

Improved Outlook in Iran

DESPITE the mixup in their delivery, President
Truman's personal letters to Prime Minister
Attlee of Britain and Premier Mossadegh OF Iran
seem to have had a calming effect on the crisis
swirling around the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company
At any rate, both sides have responded in way
that has brought about at least temporary re-
vival Of the hope that passions will be restrained
and an amicable settlement worked out.
Similar to the one addressed to Mr. Attlee,
the Presidents message to DR.. Mossadegn mas
voiced our Governments strongest anxiety" re-
garding the situation urged that the authorizes
at Teheran meet with British representatives to
discuss all the problems involved, and summed
up our national attitude in these words: "The
United States of America is close friend OF
both countries and is seriously interested in
finding solution that satisfies the wishes Of the
Iranian people for the naturalization of their
oil industry at the same time guaranteeing the
fundamental interests of Great Britain, and also
securing continuation of the flow of Iranian oil
to the economic channels of the free world"
Only short time ago, when essentially the
same attitude was expressed In an American
aide-memore to Teheran, the authorities there
accused us of interfering in the internal affairs
of Iran. But now, in heartening contrast, they
appear to have responded cordially to the Presi-
dents letter, and they have indicated willing
ness to discuss reasonable settlement with the
Brtish-on the assumption, of course, that Trans
right to nationalize is recognized AS for Britain,
1t has come around to accepting the principle of
some form Of naturalization for the company,
and 1t has made clear, on the heels of the Presi-
dents message to Mr.. Attlee that it is ready for
"full and frank" talks with the Mossadegh gov
eminent.
What all this amounts to is an improvement
IN the atmosphere surrounding the Anglo
Iranian crisis. Although Trans popular temper
aroused by nationalistic fanatics and Commu-
nists exploiting very real grievances-still re-
mains a highly volatile factor making events
unpredictabe from one hour to the next, there
seems fair chance for the kind of settlement
the President has appealed for. No effort should
be spared to make the most of that chance; if it
Is lost, the consequences are likely to be grave
for the Iranians themselves as well as for the
rest Of the free world

ANA and Politics


Our American Medical Association Is
planning q second major venture into
national politics. This time 1t proposes
to rescue our deficit spending medical
schools from bankruptcy by voluntary
donations. Dr.. Leonard A. Scheele.
Surgeon General, United States Public
Health Service, authoritatively has de-
scribed the projects magnitude: The
gross total Of the budgets Of the medical
schools Is something over $50 million
per year and the income from tuition
and fees Is about $13 million. Thus
medical schools must find from some
other sources as State appropriations.
endowment income, gifts and grants
nearly $40 million each year. The
average cost of educating a medical
student is reliably estimated to be at
least s2,20o per year, and the average
income from tuition is $780,
ANA proposes to meet this growing
deficit by voluntary donations to ma
tional medical education fund. It has
appropriated $500. 900 toward the funds
1851 budget and hopes to increase this
amount to IS million through national
campaign. This project is our ANA
alternative to Federal subsidy of med
ical school deficits. Federal grants-in-
aid are opposed because it is feared such
support will sooner or later impair or
destroy the freedom Of medical schools:
and second, the possibilities Of securing
adequate funds from private and local
sources have not been fully explored.
Neither Of these objections to Federal
grants-in-aid appears valid or sincere.
Private philanthropy throughout our
Nation has failed to meet Snow-balling
community needs. What hope is there
of an already exhausted philanthropy
taking on another multi-million dollar
project that lacks convincing appeal?
But 1t is even more difficult to see how
Federal aid to medical schools can de-
stroy their freedom. Surely there is
no political angle to the nationally uni
form standards Of q medical education.
Political attitudes and persuasionS fol-
low doctors graduation. They do not
precede it. Every CT who has received
his higher education through the Bill
Of Rights is indubitable proof that our
Nation can Subsidize education without
making the graduate political syco-
phant.
There are many loyal members Of
ANA who are disappointed with its
political ventures.
Perhaps it might be wise for all of us
to consider the counsel of the Great
Physician: No man having put his hand
to the plow, and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God. Is it worthy Of
our ANA to start job which common
sense tells us It can not finish?

Selling the y. N. to Skeptico| World

100 members it offers an unusual op-
portunity for citizens, In cooperation
with their Government. to take part in
the affairs Of an international agency.
Sixty members represent national or
ganizations, such as the Red Cross, the
American Society of Newspaper Editors,
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, the American Federation Of La
Dor, the Congress Of Industrial Organi-
cations, and the National Council of
Churches. The other 40 are chosen as
individual leaders In various UNESCO
fields.
The commission is provided with the
services OF small "UNESCO Relations
Stan" in the State Department. But
most OF its work is handled through ma
tlonal organizations, many of which
carry out UNESCO projects with their
own funds. The commission also works
through committees and panels of it's
members and outside experts.
1t was at its annual meeting here last
month that the commission decided to
give major emphasis to its program for
vigorous and effective support of the
United Nations, Including collective
security. human rights and the develop
ment Of sense of loyalty to interna-
tional corporation"
Among its other activities are projects
TO improve teaching materials for bet
ter international understanding, assist
ance to educational institutions in other
countries, and promotion Of plans for
exchanges Of students, teachers and
other such groups.
American views on future UNEScO
policy will be presented by a fve-member
delegation to the UNESCO General
Conference, to be held in Paris later
this month.
Next major step in the United States
program will be conference Of more
than 1000 leaders at Hunter College
in, New York In September. Repre-
sentatives Of more than 500 national
organizations and hundreds Of commu-
nifty leaders and experts in the sciences,
arts, business. labor. press, radio, films
and television are expected to attend.
The objective, according to DR.. Stod-
dard, will be to help leaders take home
the best available information on the
progress and problems Of the United
Nations as an organized international
approach to world problems.
From there the work will move to the
community level where use Of such in
formation will determine the success or
failure of the National Commissions

TRYING TO CLAMP DOWN g..

After learning about the hearing
last week at Annapolis concerning
state control of the gas wells in this
area, we are more convinced than ever
that once such bill was passed, an
individual would have no say what
ever over his own property and we
would be one step nearer socialism.
Those who favored state control at
the hearing were given every consid-
GRAFTON by A. Gordon Boone, chairman
of the Ways and Means committee Of
the House Of Delegates. Representa-
tivcs Of the department of Geology,
etc, representatives Of the larger gas
companies who already have leasing
power over a great extent Of Garrett
county land in the supposed path of
gas possibilities, were all allowed to
speak at length.
But when the little companies, the
Garrett County Commissioners and
Senator Fraley wanted to be heard,
the attitude was much changed. Rich
ard Hill was allowed just one minute
to say his piece for the smaller com
panies, and the chairman was very
gruff about even that one minute The
attorney to the commissioners was not
given an opportunity to speak
If that is sample of authority,
without actual law, to what extent
would those in power go when they
actually had the backing Of such
law?
No law at present prevents man
from opening a coal mine on his
property. He can dig to his hearts con
tent, as long as he regards the safety
laws Of his workmen. Why can't the
owner Of small plot of ground dig a
hole on his property to discover
whether or not there is gas under
meath, without state law which tells
you just where and when you can drill
and how?
Such law, if passed, would give
two large companies all drilling rights
in this county, and only because they
got on the ground first and leased
most of it for small amount per
acre. And under that law the Geology
department would be authorized to
"promulgate such rules and regula-
tions as may be proper for this pur-
pose" AS we indicated last week who
is to determine what is proper" when
ones individual rights are concerned?

Instrumental Gems ,
BY j. Henry Randall

The frantic bop" innovation
fathered by Dizzy Gillespie may
be a thing of the past, but the
author of this radical style is still
very much in the picture as a
trumpet artist. Gillespie, who is
now co-operator of a record firm
which uses his initials ID. c., for
label Identification, comes up with
four very, very interesting sides
for his first release. The sounds
he now gives out with are what is
being called progressive" or
modern"
Three are original items, the
best being a thing called Birks
Works, "Birks" is Dizzy's middle
monicker. A tantalizing instru-
mental, it uses much of the old
bop" drive, but is easier for lis
tening, dancing and general foot
patting. Like most of Dizzy's
strictly bop" items of the med
tempo, this is cool, relaxed and the
sort of thing which gets under
your skin in a gentle soothing
fashion.
The musicians walking the pace
with Die are Milt jackson, vibes;
John Coltrane, tenor sax; Kenny
Burrell, guitar; Percy Herth,
bass; and Kansas Fields, drums,
Mate is an item mixture OF Afro
Cuban-Calypso rhythm which re-
ceives added support from a group
known as the Calypso Boys. Title
is Tin Tin Daeo. This. too, is one
which bears watching.
Can't tell offhand how many
different and exciting versions OF
the pop standard Lady BE Good
there are on the market, but the
latest one, by Diz and crew is
quite a novelty. Unlike others, the
tempo has been slowed down to a
pace which is just right for a
viper's strut. Joe Carroll sits In
with a jivish bop vocal. The crew
here includes Budd johnson, tenor
sax, j. ]. Johnson, tram; Milt
Jackson, piano, Herth, bass; and
Art Blakey, drums. On the other
side, Kenny Clarke, another of the
front-runners in the now buried
bop" idiom, plays his original
composition OF KIoOk Returns.
This is also one of the progress
sive" saunders, and is equally as
good as the other three (DeeGee)
Bolluds und Blues
One of the choice items avail
able Is an early Billy Eckstine
disc, waxed when Mr.. B. fronted
his own orchestra. This of course
was before his going single and
switching to another label. The
two sides are without a Song and
