Whether he knew he was being

His reward was convincing, but not
large enough, he thought.
One of this beautiful dogs prize ex-

the family across the street was holding

to the front steps "a real Stoop, and so
called. When he saw the cat in the

his leash, tore across the way and
leaped through the window after the
cat. The cat ran through the parlor
and underneath the table. with the big
white dog foot behind him. Cat and
dog went out the back window one
after the other, to the amazement and
utter confusion of all the watermelon
eaters, who scarcely had time to see
the white dog chasing the black cat,
but realized something very unusual
and rather disturbing had taken place,
something that really had no right to
happen at weN-bred watermelon feast.

solution. AS statues go, our gift from

ably with most of the other monstrosi-

Practically all of the local statuary is

Actually, Georgetown is probably the

condemning the horrible background of

rather like pot calling the kettle black.
We even carried the Greek complex to

Choosing Future Military Leaders

There are some members of Congress, no
doubt, who treasure as a personal prerogative
the privilege of appointing young men to
West Point and Annapolis. But to others, the
system must at times become a burdenSome
responsibility which carries with it more polit-
ical liabilities than aSSets-for most members
of Congress are placed IN the position of dis
appointing more constituents than they please
in making such appointments. Regardless OF
all that, the present system is not one that
stands up to critical examination in such things
as equality of opportunity or its success in choos-
ing the best candidates for education and train
ing, at public expense, for the future leadership
of our military forces.
Representative John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts is an Informed critic of the existing
system He does not want to take away from
members of Congress the selection of candidates
for West Point and Annapolis, for he seems to
believe that this feature assures the supremacy
of the civilian over the military But he believes
the system as it operates is deficient in many
respects and could be improved He has just
proposed resolution which would authorize
creation Of a commission to study the subject
and come up with suggestions for its improve
ment.
About half the members of Congress, accord
ing to Mr.. Kennedy, who wrote an article on the
subject for the New York Times Magazine en-
ploy some sort of competitive test in selecting
candidates. Some of these members undoubtedly
abide by the results of the tests in making their
appointments. Others use the test as camoufage
for self-protection for the results of the COM
petitive examinations are not public property
and the members of Congress can make appoint
ments regardless of the results. Other members
of Congress make the appointments on the basis
of friendship, without tests of any kind, or out
of political considerations which are a part of
the whole system. There is no standard to guide
the members aside from their personal prefer
ence as to methods used, and there is consider
able evidence to show that the methods used
do not always produce the best men available
Within the framework of the congressional
appointment system, however, Mr.. Kennedy be-
lieves that much could be done in the way of
screening applicants by impartial tests designed
to emphasize fitness for military careers, earnest
ness of purpose in the candidates and other
desirable traits of character that have nothing
to do with mere ability to pass an entrance
examination. Such standard procedure in ap-
pointments, he believes, would cut down the
extraordinarily large rates of undesirable at
triton" at Annapolis and West Point, reflected
in the number of men who drop out of the
service, for one reason or another, after gradu-
alton Furthermore it would tend to eliminate
discrimination as between candidates on purely
political grounds.

Ambassador to the United States, he told him
that our once cordial relations with that country
have deteriorated steadily since the murder Of
Jan Masaryk and the best way to improve those
relations now will be to send William N. Oats
home. Mr.. Oats is the Associated Press cor
respondent in Prague, sentenced to Jail for trying

Bad Labor Timing

The decision of the American Federation
of Labor to withdraw from the United Labor
Policy Committee is an untimely one at this
stage Of the Nations defense mobilization.
~ In explanation of its action, the AFL asserts
that the collaboration between various labor
groups primarily the AFL and the CIO, inherent
in the Policy Committee could not properly be
considered a satisfactory substitute for organic
unity in the labor movement. AS temporary
expedient, the Federation says, the committee
has served its purpose of assuring labor voice
at policy levels and at the levels executing such
policy This explanation is valid as far as 1t
goes, but it is obvious that labors job in the
Nations mobilization is far from finished The
past IS months have been only the first round
a period of drafting requirements, letting con-
tracts expanding and retooling plants, rolling
up our sleeves for the work yet to be done.
Labor harmony from the policy level down to
the man at the workbench, will be more than
ever essential in the months to come.
The AFL contends, in effect. that it's with
drawal from the joint Policy Committee will not
be disruptive of such harmony. 1t is hoped that
this contention will be proved true. It is
fact, however that the splitting of the Policy
Committee perhaps its complete disappearance,
will leave the Office of Defense Mobilization with
the requirement of submitting its problems OF
labor policy not to one combined ADVISORY group
but to two or more This in itself would seem
to be an added administrative burden. II the
differences which have always existed among
the various labor fragments are no longer going
to be ironed out within such framework as the
Policy Committee but are going to be dropped
instead into the hands of the Office of Defense
Mobilization the burden could become intoler-
able.
In short, If this action, by intent or other
wise, signals reopening of the old struggle for
power within the ranks of labor it is most un-
fortunate not only for labor but for the country
as whole.
