Authorized is the word; they haven't

A little more than five years ago. at
the end of World War II, we had over
IL million men under arms, with the
strongest Air Force and Navy in the
world to back it up. Instead of keeping
a substantial part Of this huge fighting
force for defense, as history had taught
us we should Cor for aggression, as the
Russians would have the world believe
we did, we set out to destroy it as rap
idly as possible. We began demobiliza-
ton almost before the last shot was
fired. Our Navy was placed in moth
balls; thousands of planes, jeeps and
tanks were left in open fields, exposed to
the elements BY 1947 our armed force
had been reduced to $1,000 men, Russia
at that time had 200 divisions-3.8 mil

On VI day. August IA. 1945, we had

when the Communists invaded South
Korea on June Is, 1850. the best the
United States could do was to send one

Chinese Communists marched an army
OF 100000 Chinese Reds into Manchuria
to back up the South Korean Reds.

Prince William Forest Park

A week ago. a representative of the
National Capital Parks notified the
Summer Outings Committee that scenic
Prince William Forest Park may not
be available for children's camping this
year and for a number of years to
come. This statement was based on
an informal" request to the National
Capital Parks from the Defense De-
partment requesting use of this civilian
recreation area for military estab-
lishment.
This action by the Defense Depart
ment at this late date would probably
have meant abandonment of quality
overnight camping this season by the
Summer Outings Committee. 1t also
would have resulted in limited pro-
gram for years to come, because there
are no satisfactory unused. equipped
camp sites near Washington large
enough to accommodate the hundreds
of children this organization serves.
However, since last week, the Defense
Department has reconsidered and can
celled it's plans to take over the park.
This wise action by the Army, we be-
lieve came about as a result of The

ship to preserve this rustic park for
civilian recreation.
For this outstanding community
service, the members of the Summer

their grateful appreciation. We also

the same hand may be placed carelessly
on the back of his head, or neck.
Casual, is the word.
Take a tip from the advertisements
of ladies clothes, where the key word is
casual" No matter how much care she
puts on dressing. the effect must be cas-
ual, as if really she didn't care at all how
she looked. 1t is our modern American
idea of nonchalance. But the dog world
was away ahead. Those knowing ami
mails are casual to degree, and in
nothing more than their making the
acquaintance of a strange human.
Once a dog knows you. do not be too
sure that he remembers you. Each time
he comes out from behind the hedge, in
that sudden way, with scarcely jingle
of the tags, do not make the mistake
of greeting him as if he were your own.
He knows better, or ought to. The prop
er thing to do is to extend the hand
again. as if you had never seen him be-
fore. The stranger dog has had so many
contacts since he saw you last, he must
begin all over, in his practical but rudi-
mentary way. Always select name for
your new acquaintance, if you do not
know his correct one. and speak it firm
ly but calmly every time you meet.
Every dog likes to be greeted by some
name. even if it is not the right one.
Sometimes the friend of dogs wonders
what dog names really mean to them
Probably they think they are named
"Hereboy," and "Beatit," and "Getout."
Only dog can really know.

Perjury at the Top Level

If any proof was needed to establish the
desirability of continuing the RFC investigation,
1t may be found in the apparent fact that one
of two directors Of the Government lending
agency has committed perjury in testifying
before the Fulbright committee.
Even in this age of hardened moral arteries,
no one can remain Indifferent to the revelation
that director of the RFC has lied under oath.
This, after all, is one of the top-level posts in
Government, post in which integrity should
be prime qualification. If that qualification
is lacking at the top, if one of the agencys
directors is perjurer there can be no possible
excuse for dropping this investigation until
every ramification of this reeking mess has been
thoroughly explored.

Open to the Public

When Costello returned to the stand on
Monday, Senator Kefauver said the televison
cameras must not be turned on the witness
This admonition, one may be sure, was not in
spired by sympathy with the racketeer'S personal
wishes 1t doubtless was prompted by the Sena-
tors anxiety not to place in jeopardy the teSti-
mony of an important witness For witness
who declines to testify before the television
cameras may be upheld in his refusal to do so.
test of the witness rights in such circum-
stances will eventually come before the courts
One could hazard guess that if the courts were
presented with the question now, they would side
with the objecting witness. The Federal courts
continue to bar old-fashioned cameras from
their courtrooms. They are not likely to admit
television right away as an always-qualifed
participant in official proceedings.
Furthermore, it could be argued with some
merit that the presence of television cameras,
with their cold eyes focused on every drop of
perspration their sensitive ears picking up every
syllable and casting them before millions of
unseen people, is a diStracting influence and an
added hazard for a witness And televlSion has
the power to begue the members of a court,
whether it is a Senate committee or panel of
judges, into such diversions as stump speeches,
leading them away from the straight and marrow
path of fact finding and the pursuit of justice.
But 1t may we'll be that such objections are
associated with the novelty of televSion, rather
than with its actual invasion of any inherent
rights of the individual. AS we become more
familiar with the new-found magic of television
and accept it as one Of the facts of life, such
objections are apt to disappear For television's
vast audience is merely an overflow crowd, SO to
speak, beyond the narrow confines of hearing
chambers which, up to this time, have limited
"the public" to the privileged few who can be
accommodated. We have long since accepted
the publics rights" to open trials and open
hearings. Application of science has now made
1t possible for 'the public" in the truest sense
of the word to be admitted to public proceedings.
It seems unlikely that such admittance will
always be denied on protest from witness.
There is nothing new in the drama which
has been unfolded this week before the Kefauver
committee, sitting in New York. That tiny
segment of the public which manages to get into
courtrooms and hearing rooms can attest to
that The newness is in the size of the audience.
And in such proceedings as the Kefauver hear
ings, the larger this audience is, the better 1t
will be in the public interest Neither Journalism,
with the printed word, nor RADIO with the
spoken word, has been able to match the
spectacle of witnesses and prosecutors sparring
there before ones eyes and ears And nothing
is so likely to bring home to the people what this
whole investigation really means to put them
into the jury box, by teevision, and let them
hear, see-and think-for themselves.

will be best simply to stand ones ground,
hope for the best, and expect the worse.
That was what Templeton Jones did,
that time old Eric, the boxer, stood on
his hind legs and put both paws on his
shoulder.
Jones stood stock still, not making a
move. He didn't dare! He had seen
Eric many times, but didn't realize how
large he was. A boxer is no small dog,
especially when reared up. Jones kept
very still, pretending that he didn't mind
at all.
After a few shifts, Eric went back to
the ground with his forepaws. and looked
up. Jones swore afterward that the dog

forget it, for the nonce."
He was British dog you know.
A good thing to do, in most cases, is
to offer the hand to the inquisitor nose.
Put out the hand, not in a rapid way

could be more natural.

to take good sniff, and heaven help

Getting along with dogs is an art.
Some people are born to it, others
have to learn it.
Those who do not, are the ones who
are bitten, as rule.
It takes some doing, and some know
ing, to make friends with a stranger
dog.
Home dogs are different. They prob
ably recognize ones SMELL The stranger
dog has to become acquainted in the
only way he knows.
This is the reason why the personal
approach to such dog must be on the
slow motion side.
Never dash out hand and pat the
fellow instanter. Go easy, take your time,
and let the four-legged one do the in
vestigating.
He will do it, of course, with his nose.
The canine nose is one of the finest
instruments of it's kind in the world. 1t
cannot be surpassed except by another.
The dog nose seeks out all material ger
nane to the dog life. Here we have no
rokum, as is found among human
beings, no intellectual fencing, no cam
outage.
The dog nose cuts through all pre-
tense. What he smells either smells
good to him or it doesn't. All would be
plain sailing, if one could be quite sure
of what the fellow on four feet likes.
That is where the trouble comes in.

Of World War II. we also had the atom
bomb. What blessing that the posi-
tons Of the United States and Russia
were not reversed One shudders to
think what would have been the fate Of
the world had Russia possessed our
strength at that time
Surely If there had been the faintest
streak of aggressiveness or imperialism
in us, it would have manifested itself at
the end of World War I. Then, too, we
had one of the strongest fighting forces
in history. and the rest of the world
was practically PROSTATE. But then, as
always, we rapidly demobilized We had
81 million men under arms November
IL, 1918. This number had been reduced
to less than 175,000 by the end of 1920.
Not only did we demobilize but we
strapped our Navy, and kept it scrapped
right up to the tragic attack at Pearl
Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Thanks to the United Nations Rehabil-
itation and Relief program, Marshall
Plan assistance and the Voice of Amer
lea, the Russian propaganda seems to
be waning little, with reported deser-
tons from the Communist Party, par
ticularly in Western Europe.
Perhaps this is welcome evidence that
truth is beginning to catch up with the
Russian lies. as it inevitably must For,
as some philosopher has said, error has
many tongues. but the voice of truth is
one, and cannot be mistaken.

Mr.. Kress' Latest Gifts

Friends of the National Gallery had reason
to be grateful to Samuel H KreSs before the gall
lery was opened, March II, 1941. He was the first
great collector to respond to the invitation of
Andrew w. Mellon. to cooperate in creating
museum of art in the Capital of the United States
truly worthy of the Nation His initial benefac-
ton included 375 paintings and 16 works of scup-
ture all of which were on exhibition when the
gallery was placed in service just ten years ago.
Subsequently, he contributed II paintings and
rs pieces of sculpture in 1914 and 100 paintings
and 10 sculptured pieces in 1896 The latest of
his gifts number 116 paintings, is works of sculp-
ture and 1906 small bronzes, medals and pla-
quotes. Thus the whole catalog of Mr.. Kress'
donations adds up to 662 paintings, 10 sculptured
pieces and the bronze collection just mentioned.
No other modern philanthropist has excelled
this record. Perhaps even in the historic past
when important examples Of artistic genius were
relatively easy to acquire no similar achievement
went beyond what Mr.. Kress has done 1t is i'm
portant also to emphasize the fact that he has
accomplished his objective with little help save
that of his brother Rush Harrison Kress and
few intimate associates in the foundation which
he established for the advancement of his pur-
pose. His own metculous taste has guided him.
He has proved his right to be considered con-
noisseur of distinction.
In accommodating his treasures, he had in mind
from the start an intention to give them to his
country. He has been the servant as well as the
benefactor of the American people. His wealth
has become theirs In his endowment of the
National Gallery.

To Wait or Not to Wait?

Officials of the Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin have described perfectly
the dilemma which confronts Northern Virginia
communities with respect to sewage disposal On
the one hand is the constantly growing menace
of river pollution, menace which the State War
Control Board insists must be dealt with effec-
lively at the earliest practicable moment. On
the other hand is the very disturbing possibility
that too-hasty action might result in ill-advised
measures that would be less satisfactory and more
costly than well-considered and planned projects.
Chairman Harold Kemp and Director Edwin
r. Cotton of the Interstate Commission are
UNDERSTANDABLE concerned over the delay OF
many months" which would occur if Arlington,
Fairfax, Alexandria and Falls Church were to
defer action until an engineering survey is COM
pleted. Such a survey has been recommended
by an interjurisdictional committee. The COM
nttee estimated 1t would require a minimum
of six months to do the job. The Interstate
Commission has favored survey, but the pros
pect of considerable delay not only in making
the engineering studies but in inducing the
communities to accept them and act on them
is discouraging to the anti-pollution body.
Mr.. Kemp and Mr.. Cotton therefore have urged
that immediate steps be taken to construct
tangible facilities"
Arlington County has been ready for some
time to start construction OF such facilities.
Citizens of the county last fall approved bond
issue for an auxiliary seWage-disposal plant.
Fairfax, too, has approved bond issue for
treatment plant. An immediate start on these
projects would it is true, bring early abatement
of near-septc conditions in the river. But it
would be disservice to the citizens of nearby
Virginia not to apprise them of the definite
possibility that their bond money might be
wasted on patchwork projects which later might
have to be scrapped in favor of more effective
program of sewage disposal. A survey might
show that the only permanent solution would be
in joint disposal system, or in piping sewage
from nearby Virginia to the Districts treatment
plant at Blue Plains. The question which the
Virginians must decide is whether it is better
to give first aid to the ailing Potomac now, or
await diagnosis that might lead to a perma-
nent cure. 1t will be very costly to make
wrong choice.
