Four Horsemen at the Bridoe

1t is not the statues themselves, but their
golden glitter and their dominance of the Lincoln
Memorial that provoke DR.. Marvin's letter, else
where on this page today. The same thought
must have come to other critics of the statuary
The disturbing fact is that the glitter is not apt
to be softened by time, for it results from the
heavy content of gold in the gilt with which the
bronze has been treated When the gilt does lose
its luster, it is probable that another layer may
be used to freshen 1t up
It was not planned that way. The designs
for Memorial Bridge called for statues it is true
but statues of granite to be placed the granite
pedestals vacant for so many years. The money
for the granite statues was not available. 1t was
the strange alchemy of Marshall Plan funds, plus
the sincere generosity of Italy that produced the
casting of the statues in four Italian foundries
and their return to us as gift.
The dedication of the statues will take place
some time in October. Once dedicated, there
they are apt to remain-majestic reminders of
the tendency in this country and the history of
Washington, to make noble plans and then alter
them as expediency shows its ugly head.

Good News for q Chonqe

There is one cheerful news item from behind
the Iron Curtain. In East Berlin, where the Com
munist World Youth Festival has been under way,
the spectators booed the soccer team sent from
Moscow to play an all-star team from East Ger
many
The reason for the booing, according to the
Communist press, was that the East German
Communists sore because their team was beaten
by Moscow's Dynamos, had not "lived down their
old nationalistic arrogance" nor proved them
selves worthy "of the great confidence of the
youth of the world and, above all, of the friend
ship of the great Soviet people"
According to the editor of little Christian
Democratic newspaper, who reported the soccer
game the real reason for the booing, however
was that the Muscovites brought along their own
referee. He called all the fouls against the Ger
man Communists, but overlooked the fouls by the
Moscow Dynamos-as we'll he might.
The booing incident is important The
Comnlies always insist on doing their own refer
eeing, calling fouls against everybody except
themselves When people realize that this is true
in soccer, it is but short step to the realization
that it is true of everything the Communists do
And If they boo in one case, there is no good
reason to believe that eventually they will not
boo in Others This is progress. This is good
news.

In the Right Direction

The agreement on reducing the number Of
Government jobs reached by House-Senate con-
ferees on the 1852 independent Offices bill is
step in the right direction, even though at first
glance the economy achieved is not too i'm
pressive
The national emergency program has re-
suited in vast additions to the Federal payroll
And the end is not in sight. Only last week
the House approved the 1852 military money bill
which gives the defense agencies enough funds
to hire an additional 10000 civilian workers.
This will give the Government more than "a
million employees.
Congress cannot hope to halt the upward
trend in Federal personnel in the defense es-
tabliShments but as the House-Senate conferees
agreed the other day, an effort can be made
to offset the defense hirings somewhat by cutting
down on non-defense agency personnel
If applied to other agency money bills, the
10 per cent personnel cut formula approved by
the conferees would eliminate about 10000 to
$4,000 Federal jobs in non-defense bureaus.
This may cause some hardships among agencies
and their employees but for the most part the
reductions can be made by attrition-through
not filling many of the vacancies that occur each
year through ordinary personnel turnover. This
is the most painless way yet devised to eliminate
Jobs.

This and That

Tommy Sparrow was conceited little
bird.
He would pay no attention when his
cats.
do not fly down on the ground for
a time" his mother pleaded.
why not?" snapped Tommy.
Because cat will get you"
Cats" sneered the fedgling. "Who
is afraid of cats?"
ANY sensible bird" growled the
father. Mind your mother and keep
off the ground"
Tommy Sparrow ruffied his tail.
But I want to hop on the ground"
he said.
There will be plenty of time for
that" soothed his mother.
She started to cram a worn down
Tommy's bill, then thought better of it.
1t was about time she made the little
rascal find his own food.
He was large enough now and thought
himself quite as big as any sparrow.
SparroWs, ordinary common ones, are
among the most egotistic of all the
tribes of the air. They know what
they want and go right after it.
That was the way they made their
way in America, after having been
brought here in 1856.

so be careful. now, Tommy" warned
his mother.

in q graceful curve.
Look, Mommy." he shouted. without

Wing and Group

In addition to giving some people the shakes
because of the economic costs involved, all this
talk about greatly expanding the United States
Air Force has led to muddle of sorts over the
difference, If any, between wing" and group"
The two have been banded about with consider
able looseneSs by armchair strategists, distin-
guished members of Congress, and even certain
officials over in the Pentagon The words have
been used INTERCHANGEABLE as if describing the
same thing. But that is wrong. Each is sup
posed to have its own special meaning.
Thus, according to the latest definitions from
the Air Force, group" is the combat element
of wing" That is to say, group" is made
up of bomber planes, fighters ETC., while wing"
is made up not only of this actual battle force
but also of an air-base group" medical
group" and maintenance and supply group"
the three non-combat supporting elements of
the combat element. The wing" in short is
the big thing embracing everything else, and
the commander of the "wing'-who at present is
also the base commander-is the top overall
