Talk Of New Election
Springs Up in Greece
BY the Asseeiaied Press

ATHENS, Greece. Sept. a.
Talk of a new election in Greece
has sprung up in the wake of the
failure of the Greek Rally Party
Iof Field Marshal Alexander Pa
pagos to get the absolute parlia-
Iment control it sought in last Sum-
days voting.
Marshal Papagos has announced
he will not join any coalition cab
met. A combine of the second
place National Progressive Party
of Gen. Nicholas Plastiras and the
third place Liberal Party of for
mer Premier Sophocles Venizelos
lacks strength.
Marshal Papagos would get lot
lof Parliament's $50 seats under
the latest unofficial ALLEGATION, the
Progressives 70, the Liberals So,
and extreme left-wing groups only
a scattering.
Marshal Papagos' party aide,
former Premier Panayotis Camel
Ilopoulos, charged last night that
a secret decree changing the elec-
toral law had robbed the Greek
rally OF a dozen seats it should
have had. He accused Mr.. Veni-
zelos of engineering the change
while he was head of a caretaker
government prior to the election.
A Venizelos spokesman said the
law had been changed for clari-
If1cation. but said charges of Sec
lrecy were bunk"

The Inspection Must Be Real

If there is to be near-future armistice in
Korea, the Communist negotiators at Panmun-
JON will have to accept a system of policing and
inspecting that will police and inspect much
more thoroughly than the one they have pro-
posed. In its present vague form, their plan
is simply no good, and our American and allied
United Nations forces-aS a matter of military
common sense-obviously must reject it.
For what the Communists propose is
wholly inadequate, sieve-like system under which
neutral inspection teams would be strictly limited
in the areas they could visit. These apparently
would consist solely of ports of entry" There
would be no real behind he-lines observation
or policing-nothing even remotely like the
u NJ plan, under which the inspectors would be
free to travel and inspect anywhere in Korea,
on both sides of the cease-ire line and demilitar-
ized buffer zone

didn't think much of them.
She liked best the slices of bread
found in the yard at certain place.
They We're good to eat, and they
started to make her fat. Every night
she would come down the locust tree,
using her marvellous paws like little
hands. Gradually she began to take
shape, the famous opossum fall figure.
To a critical human eye, she might
have seemed too plump. But to an
opossurn she was just right.
It took lot of fat to put one through
the cold months.
Carefully she made and remade her
nest.
Leaves were pulled in, then flattened,
some branches bit off with her sharp
teeth, until all was right.

This and That

Do you think the eternal brute lives
just in Russia, or North Korea, or
China?
No. he lives in the very heart Of
America, he may be right next door,
who knows?
The mother opossum had forgotten
all about him, If she ever knew. Per-
haps she didn't, and, as it turned out,
it was just as well. She had spent a
happy summer, and had come to
autumn, warm autumn, in good
health. Life seemed good to her, in
her animal sort Of way, which Is not

The opossum was lean, but she had

Better than that, she had found In

decay had eaten into the trunk, as is
so often the case with locusts. They
look all right, from the ground, but
sometimes trunks are perfectly hollow.
It was this hollow that delighted the
lean animal. It was such a nest as
all members of this curious tribe look
for In autumn. The fact that it was
a very warm fall made no difference.
Opossums run on an age-old schedule.
They fatten themselves up, and live

Of slices Of bread, but somehow she
was no longer hungry.
Her friend, nature, had taken care Of
her.
One day men came into the yard and
started to cut the trees down. The
mother opossum did not hear them,
or if she did she was cautious.
One man peered in, shouted "Pos-
sunni" and seized her by her hind legs.
Held like a sack of meal, she came down
the ladder. Now she was playing
dead" She did not move.
"Hit her on the back Of the head"
shouted one man.
The brute picked up club, and
holding the opossum by the legs, struck
her repeatedly. He threw her to the
ground. where she writhed in con-
vulsions.
"Hit her again." commanded one.
A few more blows, and she was thrown
on the ground again. This time the
animal quivered, and then lay still.
Amid shouts of merriment the opos-
sum was thrust into a sack and turned
over to a snickering person who had no
idea she was witnessing tragedy.
To her it was just fun-and dinner.
It was all exactly as Henry James
said many years ago: Life is, in fact,
a battle. On this point optimists and
pessimists agree. Evil is insolent and
strong; beauty enchanting but rare;
goodness very apt to be weak; folly
very apt to be defiant: wickedness to
carry the day; irnbeciles to be in great
places. people Of sense in small. and
mankind generally, unhappy"

and keep them as far away from the Re-
publican Party as possible As Republi-
can, I have no wish to whitewash the
party's past mistakes, or to claim that
it has always been as pure as the newly
fallen snow, and never touched with cor
ruption and special privilege.
Power corrupts, and long undisputed
power corrupts completely any political
party. Witness the present Democratic
Party. It smells to the heavens. Thirty
Years ago the Republican Party devel-
oped bad smell, but after the death of
the betrayed Harding. "The Little Man"
from New England cleaned up the mess
and under his administration and under
Mr. Hoover'S, corruption in the admins
tration OF the Government was not an
issue. Unfortunately, the same could not
be said of special privilege, but at its
worst 1t never approached the unholy
mess being exposed in Washington to-
day. That was 80 years ago-and the
Democrats have been using it ever since
as political issue-but they can't cam
paign on ancient history forever. And
somehow feel that they won't care for
corruption in government" as an issue
next year.
The Republican Party of today is the
only comparatively honest party for the
independent voter to turn to. It is the
party of the great unorganized middle
class of Americans that have been out
ragged BY the chicanery. corruption and
incompetence Of the Democratic admin

power and the big money today is behind
the Democrats. Who has made the big

Mr.. CoudIe's Charmed Career

The mystery of how Theron Lamar Caudle
managed to win friends and influence people
grows deeper.
There is certain element of mystery in the
circumstances which placed Mr.. Caudle in high
position in the Department of Justice. He was
put there-frst as Assistant Attorney General in
charge of the Criminal Division and then, when
he tired of that, as Assistant Attorney General
in charge of the Tax Divison-by Supreme
Court Justice Tom Clark, who was then Attorney
General At the time Mr. Caudle was an obscure
United States Attorney for the western district
OF North Carolina. Asked how it happened that
he was plucked out of that job and given one
OF the Nations top reinforcement posts he
said he didn't know. 81 guess the wheel just
stopped on me-" he volunteered.
Now a new and possibly more mysterious
chapter has been added. Peyton Ford former
Deputy Attorney General and Mr.. Caudle's su-
perior, became suspicious last year that informa-
tion on tax case was leaking from Mr.. Caudles
office to the Office of Congressman. The at
torney handling the case had been working under
Mr.. Caudle. Mr.. Ford, to protect the security
of the Governments information, told the at
torney to bypass Mr. Caudle and report directly.
to him. He also said he is sure he told Attorney.
General McGrath what he had done.
That was year or more ago. But Mr.. Caudle
stayed on as head of the Tax Division. It was
not until last month that he was ousted by
President Truman, and in all probability he
would not have been fired to this day except for
the fact that the heat was being turned on by
the congressional committee investigating the
case.
Which raises the question: What is the
secret of Mr.. Caudles success how did he man
age to land his choice jobs and TO hang on long
after his superiors, in effect. had recorded vote
Of no confidence in him? Ht

Buekinq the Maryland Line

Recent articles have discussed the
small turnout for Maryland's all-win-
ming football team in games at Byrd
Stadium, which hasn't been filled since
the opening game with Navy in 1850.

adequate. Unless the situation is i'm
proved next year. I viii be content to
sit home and watch television rather
than buck the terrific traffic tie-ups
that occur every game.
Living in Bethesda, 1t is necessary
that we leave for Byrd Stadium at least
two hours before game time. There is
only the one road that can be used,
namely. University Lane, and cars are
bumper to bumper for miles. The in
adequate parking facilities and the
much longer return trip down the same
highway Il got home at Z pm. after the

be desired for a pleasant football holi-
day.

Why the Tensions Continue

In effect, with the Soviet bloc alone dissent
ing and with only Iran and Afghanistan abstain
ing 80 members of the United Nations General
Assembly have now challenged the Kremlin to
take one of the several steps it must take to
prove the sincerity of its self-procairned desire
TO ease international tensions and cooperate in
building good peace
The challenge-which has been drawn up in
the Assembly's Special Political Committee ee-is
in the form OF simple resolution. Mildly
worded the resolution requests the Soviet Union
and It's satellite Cominform states to get together
with Yugoslavia i1tfSasaing the following things:
Cd Conducting ths1 feaations and settling their
disputes in accordahce with the spirit of the u N
Charter. (2) making their diplomatic intercourse
conform with the customary rules and practices
OF international relations, and 60 ending their
frontier incidents by means of mixed commits
sions or similar peace promoting machinery.
In other words, in line with an urgent plea
from Marshal Tito's government the resolution
calls upon the Kremlin and its puppets in Eastern
Europe to stop doing what they have been doing,
with mounting intensity, ever since the Com
munist regime at Belgrade declared its inde-
pendence of Moscow more than three years ago.
That Is to say, it calls upon them to put an end
to their relentless campaign-in the form of
violent propaganda, economic warfare subversive
acIlVltleS ana constantly increasing shooting
affrays along the frontier-to overthrow Tito and
drag Yugoslavia once again behind the Iron
Curtain. In short, it calls upon the Soviet Union
to abandon its aggressive pressures and start
translating its high-sounding peace avowals-
which its actions have belied up to now-into
concrete peacemaking deeds.
Considering Yugoslavias position in the stra-
logically important Balkans, such change in
Soviet conduct undoubtedly would encourage a
lessening of international tensions. OF course,
to bring about an atmosphere genuinely con-
ducive to the establishment of a sound world
peace, the Kremln would also have to revise its
policy regarding issues like atomic control
Austria's status, and free elections and unlfy-
ing treaty for -partitioned Germany. Yet, since
1t would be evidence of good faith and a first
step toward general abatement of the crisis
in East-West relations, satisfactory settlement
of the Yugoslav-C -Cominform conflict could hardly
fail to brighten the present outlook to signsf-
cant degree.
Unfortunately, however, by voting against
the resolution on YugoSavia and efforts to deal
with such problems as Germany and the atom,
the Russians have made clear that they are still
not ready to work for peace. They make loud
speeches in favor of it, but their actions continue
to block 1t. Plainly enough, unless and until
they reverse themselves, the whole subject will
remain pretty academic, and the arms race will
go on and on toward climax full of potentiali-
ties too terrible to contemplate.

Fluctuoting Wages

Quarterly:

persons who are gainfully employed live

fact grows the wage problem, which has

Appointing the School Board

Numerous of his predecessors have .advo-
Gated, as Commissioner Donohue does now,
restoring to the Board of Commissioners the
power they lost in 1906 to appoint members of
the Board of Education. Much testimony has
been heard on the subject. Nothing has ever
come of it. Yet the change itself, in which the
appointing power was taken away from the
Commissioners and assigned to the judges of
what was then the District of Columbia Supreme
Court (now District Court, was unexpectedly
voted in the House one afternoon in what seems
TO have been a spirit of whinsy and over the
opposition of the House District Committee and
many leading citizens of Washington.
The House was considering bill to bring
about changes in the school system administra-
tion, to raise teachers pay and accomplish other
worthy objectives. In committee, there had been
testimony favoring appointment Of the board
members by the President and appointment by
the judges But the committee was persuaded
that the appointive power should remain with
the Commissioners and it so recommended
1t seems to have been short speech by
the late Champ Clark which brought about the
change. Representative Foster of Vermont had
moved to amend the bill and put the appontive
power with the judges. Mr.. Clark said the
schools seemed to be in good shape and that he
mad nothing against the Commissioners But
referring to row in the school system involving
the conduct of school principal, he said that
1t should have been quickly settled, either by the
Commissioners or the school board. And as they
had not settled it, then the appointing power
should be changed The House backed him up,
the Senate later coneurred without showing any
interest in the matter one way or another and
the job of appointing the school board went to
the judges much to their regret at the time.
On the whole, the judges have done good
Job in their selections. That doubtless explains
why they still retain the appointing power. What
The Star feared would happen, back in 1906, did
not materialize. The Star thought that if Con-
gress clipped the wings of the Commissioners in
school board appointments, Congress might go on
from there and put the Police Department under
the War Department, the Fire Department some
where else and the Commissioners would end up
with no power at all.
Reorganization of the municipal govern
ment will, in time revive the debate. But it is
possible that as many people would oppose the
change now as opposed the original change in
1906. That is one reason the Commissioners are
not inclined to press for it at this time and why
Mr.. Donohue reserves his full argument until
later on.
