Vishinsky's Wasted Breath

With the fve-member Soviet bloc alone
dissenting, the United Nations General Assembly,
in its Special Political Committee has once again
raped the knuckles of the men of the Kremlin.
This time the rapping has taken the form of an
overwhelming vote rejecting their charges that
the United States is engaging in subverson (in-
Guiding the financing of armed opposition forces
on Russian SoD designed to overthrow the Stain
government and all the puppet Red regimes in
the peoples democracies" behind the Iron
Curtain.
Ever since he first submitted them about
month ago, Foreign Minister Vishinsky has been
making great deal of propaganda noise in
connection with these charges. Most of his attack
has been concentrated on the Mutual Security
Act adopted in the last session of Congress to
supply armaments and economic aid to our
friends abroad His chief target has been that
section of the act-an amendment not asked for
by the executive branch-under which the sum
OF $l00 million has been earmarked to help
selected persons" living in or escaping from
Russia or any satellite country to form elements
OF military forces supporting the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization or for other purposes" The
amendments sponsor - Republican Representa-
tive Kersten OF WiSconSn-is on record as in
dcating that the "other purposes" call for spend
Ing some OF the money, when the time is
opportune," to encourage people behind the Iron
Curtain ito liberate themselves"
Coupled with the fact that our official policy
is frankly opposed to Communism everywhere,
this clumsily worded provision in the Mutual
Security Act undeniaby lends itself to easy dis
tortion and Misrepresentation Mr., Vshinsky-a
Supremely expert distorter and misrepresenter-
accordingly has made the most of it. Thus, with
fists clenched and voice shouting, he has pre-
Sented it to the U. N. as proof positive that our
Government is guilty of grossly violating the
1888 Roosevelt-Litvinov agreement pledging the
United States and the Soviet Union not to resort
to SubverSion against each other. Further, with
his celebrated talent for upending the truth, he
has cited as supporting evidence" the recent
incident in which one of our transport planes
which seems very definitely to have lost its way
on fight from Germany to Yugoslavia-was
forced down over Hungary by Soviet fighters.
The planes action, according to his view, serves
as an horrendous example of the program Of
sabotage, espionage and aggression that our
country has undertaken in "warlike" effort to
destroy the Stain regime and its puppet coun-
terparts in places like Poland, Czechoslovakia,
etc.
But the General Assembly, through its Spe-
cal Political Committee, has in effect told Mr..
Vishinsky to stop wasting his breath It has given
the United States what amounts to an over
whelming vote of confidence by upholding the
Mutual Security Act for what it is: wholly
legitimate part of the free worlds defensive effort
against the threat of Red aggression In taking
this altogether sensible position the vast major

Put the Plan to Work Promptly

Although some parts of the Districts emer-
gency plan for handling traffic during snow
storms will be imperative during the critical
holiday season, there is no good reason for
delaying action on other important phases of
the program For example, immediate efforts
ought to be made to bring about Federal CO.
operation with District authorities in traffic
control arrangements. Such cooperation has
been conSpicuously absent in the past Prompt
coordination OF suburban and District police and
highway activities in winter emergencies also
should be effected
The aloof attitude of the Federal DEPART
ments toward proposals for teamwork with
District officials is nothing new. Back in 1949
a definite plan for controlling the release of
Government employees in time of snow or icy
conditions was presented by District traffic
authorities. Under the plan there would have
been staggered release of workers according
to advice received from the Traffic Department.
The idea was rejected at that time by the
Budget Bureau on the ground that hours of
Federal employees were not properly subject to
control by the District government
Last weeks city-wide paralysis of trans
portation resulted at least in part from this long
standing shortsightedness of Federal admins
traitors 1t is all right for the departments to be
jealous of their rights but to stress those rights
to the point of foreclosng reasonable co-opera-
ton with local traffic agencies is self-penalizing
and senSeleSs. Government employees were among
the worst sufferers during last weeks protracted
tie-up. The Commissioners special advisory
committee recommends a roundabout method
OF trying to get more cooperation from the
Federal Government letter is to be sent to
the Civil Service Commission with a request that
the commission confer with the Federal Council
OF Personnel Administration about timing the
release of employees. This smacks of time
consuming red tape. Emergency plans warrant
emergency short cuts in getting them into opera
tion.
Quick action to bring nearby Virginia and
Maryland authorities into the trafic-control
program is imperative. More letter writing
should not be necessary. A few phone calls to
key officials might produce immediate results
The whole community is concerned about the
problem and is impatient for something to be
done about it before another major snowstorm

ments are not worrying unduly because
sales figures for important pieces OF
household equipment are rising.
Husbands and wives come together to
choose major items such as washing
machines. cookers. refrigerators, or
lesser purchases like pressure cookers.
''The knowledge that metals are being
cut for "inessential goods term
which includes home market supplies" I"
says the merchandise manager OF one
of London's big stores, "is making house.
holders buy important household items
rather than decorative or fashion gifts"
The toys being bought are chiefly
those in metals about to be withdrawn.
Train sets and constitutional toys are
being bought by parents aware that an
immense improvement in the strength
OF toys has taken place in the last year.
1t Is worth while paying fairly high for
toys which can be passed later to
younger brothers or sisters.
Boxes and hampers of foodstuffs are
popular gifts and one store notes that
in the last few days there has been a
little run on the ask-and-sandwich
cases formerly sold as Hunting can
teens" One purchaser explained that
she was giving it to her husband so
that he could take his own lunch to
work instead of relying on snack bars,
whose supplies are to be severely lin
tied. Another unusual gift bought in
the same department was a metal and
leather seat-stick It was not being
bought for racing, It's purchaser said,
but for use by her husband in the cor
ridor of the overcrowded train in which
he travelled to work and in which he
was seldom able to get seat.

In the Storms Wake

Washington drivers would do well to
buy chains the next time they venture
out in a snow storm. One complains
about the failure Of Fairfax crews to
plow hills. Another claims that sanding
hills is cheaper than buying chains.
Have they ever thought how crews are
expected to reach hills to sand same
when chainless drivers block all roads?
Let's stop blaming others for the jams.
Go out and buy some chains; they'll
take you up any hill, and even though
they cost bit they save lots of tenn
pers.

New School Bourd?

Your paper recently published an edi-
torial which included these statements:
"The resignation of President Sharpe
and Vice President Lee would benefit the
school system more than change Of
superintendents" and THE judgment Of
his (Corning's) competence is Of course
the responsibility of the Board of Edu-
cation"
Many citizens agree with you. Some
of those who feel that they are not suf-
ficiently we'll informed to be able to take
part in these arguments think that your
suggestion did not go far enough.
Wouldn't the immediate resignation of
all of the board members have many ad-
vantages? For example:
No new member worthy of this trust
would want to accept place on this
board. 1t is divided. Its public dissen-
sions have caused it to lose the full con-
fidence and respect Of many people. It
will be easier to interest persons in this
thankless job If each one feels that he
or she will be member of an unbiased
group which is to hunt and evaluate
facts for its own information and guild
ance.
This step would give the judges an
opportunity to select people who are
esteemed and honored by the citizens
of the District of Columbia. OF course,
the judges are busy men, but no job they
have can be of more Importance than
the welfare of the children. Surely, by
now. these officials are convinced that
the positions on the Board of Education
should be given to persons whom they
seek. not to those who run" for the
appointment. Often those who maneu-
yer to get positions on boards have some
AK to grind.
