Germans as compared to 48 million West
Germans. there will be nothing en-
barrassing about telling Russia where
to go. If the Russians maneuver craftily
to set up the new Germany so that, in
few years, it can emerge re-armed
under Soviet domination, we and the
British and French can cheerfully shout
them down, shoulder to shoulder.
No. the plain truth is that the more
genuinely conciliatory Russia proves in
her approach to the proposed foreign
ministers meeting, the more bothered
we are likely to be. Which is about as
unhappy position for diplomat as
could be devised-especially in this cru
cial period in the development of world
opinion.
OF course the United States does not
want war. OF course our whole line of
conduct. our whole effort to build the
strength of the West, is designed to pro-
duce just the sort of reaction as the one
we suspect the Russians may now be pre-

A County Survey Is Basic

The most important provision of the Prince
Georges County governmental reform bill is the
requirement for a comprehensive survey to deter
mine the type of government most suitable for
the needs Of the growing Maryland county. The
ultimate fate of the bills other provisions If
enacted, would depend on the findings Of the
survey. Changes in the present form of govern
ment called for in the pending legislation might
be nullifed by adoption Of any plan recon-
mended by the research group. To some degree,
therefore the bills provisions for certain changes
in the present administrative setup, including
repeal of the Sothoron Act may be considered as
premature.
It was apparently because of a desire to
avoid premature reforms that the county dele
CATION in the General Assembly decided to drop
a proposal for establishing county manager
in Prince Georges. The question of whether the
county should have county manager or should
adopt some other modern administrative system
is proper one for study by the survey organ
ization. The same principle might well be applied
to the new proposals for establishment of a
county architects office, of a personnel Office
and of revised departmental procedures in other
governmental fields. If the survey and SUISSE
quent reforms cannot be completed without years
of delay, however, there is justification for con-
sideration of interim improvements.

of the shortcomings of the presentSsystem of
government and the advantages of moderniza-

Cart Before Horse

It is officially announced that the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve System have reached
"full accord" with respect to acknowledgment
and monetary policies, and that If true, should
herald the end of long standing disagreement.
There is justification, however, for the wait
and-see attitude which some officials have
adopted, since there is at least some indication
that this "full accord" is an attempt at a
political compromise of an economic problem,
and it is doubtful that politics and economics
can be successfully mixed.
Certainly this is case of putting the cart
before the horse The gist of the announcement
is that a forthcoming Treasury refinancing issue
will be offered at an increase of " per cent
interest. Furthermore, 1t is stated, although
the exact meaning is obscure, that this new
issue will be non-marketable. At any rate,
the hope is that investors generally institutional
investors, will be induced by the higher interest
rate to exchange their present marketable securi-
ties for the new issue, and hold the latter as
an investment
If that hope is generally fulfilled the infa-
tionary aspect of this problem may be solved.
Still, this evidently is not solution which con-
forms to the views of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn. That agency, through its Open Market
Committee, has been buying all Federal securities
offered for sale for the purpose of holding the
interest rate at the az per cent level. This was
highly inf1ationary and the committee wanted
to discontinue the practice, and let the forces
Of the market determine the interest rate which
should be paid on Government issues. There
is nothing in the announcement, however, to
indicate that the open market purchases will be
stopped, and 1t is for this reason that the full
accord" is viewed with some misgiving. The new
plan may achieve the desired end of hating
the trend toward monetization OF the public
debt. This is open to doubt, however, and its
operation will bear close watching.

Our Pol Tito

take heed of the recent warning of the
former leaders of countries which are

Gafencu Of Rumania- Last week, in a
joint statement, these three declared
that communism is the enemy of the
free world whether it bears the Tito
or Stain label
This is especially true when considered
in the light of two statements which
Marshall Tito made last week. He
stated that Yugoslavia was prepared to
resist any aggression in Europe If it
threatened his country. In his second
announcement Tito amplified his posi-
ton by saying that Yugoslavia would
fight if an attack were launched through
Austria at Italy. if there were an attack
on Greece. or if there were an outbreak
In Germany.
Such statements are not reiterations
of friendship for the West; they are
nothing more than affirmations that

Better Start Over Aqoin

1t is becoming increasingly evident that the
much-publicized Federal dispersal program will
have to be modified considerably before Con-
gress will approve 1t. It needs to be modified.
The real reason for dispersal, and the one which
justified its inclusion in the long-range master
plan for Washington, is congestion in the Dis
trict, requiring search for Government building
sites in nearby areas. The labelling of the pro-
gram as an urgent security project apparently
was an afterthought that might better have
been dispensed with.
Either the atomic bomb threat has been
exaggerated-and The Star does not believe that
it has-or the type of dispersal proposed for the
Washington Metropolitan Area is very unreal
istic. With one hydrogen bomb an enemy could
effectively disorganize the dispersed agencies
without hitting any of them. All of the Offices
would be within 20 miles of the city, and there
is talk of placing one Federal center at Green
belt-only IA miles from the White House. Fur
ther discrediting the defense aspect OF the plan
is the disclosure that some of the agencies said
to be tentatively slated for dispersal are not
defense agencies at all. Some Of the more
vital Federal activities would remain right in
Washington.
An effective emergency security program
would include dispersal of critical sensitive"
Offices beyond 20-mile limit, rather than within
it, and construction of underground facilities
that would be reasonably pomoproo1. obviously,
such plan would be so costly as to be prohibi-
tive. The pending dispersal plan is not even
reasonable facsimile of genuine security project
for the Seat OF Government. It is, however,
good program for giving the Government estab-
lishment more elbow room, more space to relieve
overcrowding and to accommodate future expan-
sion than is available in the District. 1t will
pave the way for elimination of the unsightly
temporary buildings left over from two world
wars.
AS such a long-range program it merits
careful consideration of Congress. 1t cannot
receive that kind of consideration If 1t is to be
railroaded under the guise of an emergency
defense measure, which it is not. The House
Public Works Subcommittee has indicated that
1t will not be stampeded into approving the
costly dispersal plan originally submitted. 1t
would be good idea for the administration to
start all over again and prepare less elaborate
and less costly plan.

our will to resist.
But what bothers us here is a mat
ter of timing. The strength of the West
today is only just beginning to build.
The military power of free Europe so
far is nothing more than q hope. It
would be fiattering If these mere begin
nings were sufficient to force Russia to
take second look-to consider seriously,
for instance, whether she would be better
of with a unified, neutral Germany than
with her present solid control of East
Germany. But it would be shattering if
the realization that Russia had been
forced into such a backdown caused a
weakening OF resolve and q Slackening
OF defensive effort on our part and, more
likely, on the part of our allies.
Some observers, in studying this prob
lem. have stressed that West European
leaders are convinced Western Europe
cannot be defended unless revived Ger

vlously, if this is so, it has a bearing on
the problem. But there is a sounder and

able OF advance tomorrow as she is Of

would be ruinous, in the long run. to the

This, then, Is the thinking which lies
behind our Governments obvious mis-
givings about the Paris meeting. True.
the deputies will only be talking about
what they think the ministers themselves
should talk about at problematical flu
ture meeting. Nevertheless, DR.. Jessup
and his aides are sure to have all these
considerations in mind as they argue
about what should be discussed by the
ministers, and in what order and con-
text. And If the deputies fail to agree
on an agenda for their bosses, Paris may
be the whole show.
In spite Of the signs, there may of
course besno Russian conciliatory moves
In the offing. Our dilemma in regard
to these talks, however. emphasizes one
great weakness in our thinking so far on
the problems of war and peace. We do
not seem to have given enough thought
to the changes in our policy which would

in defeating Magnolia in the sea-
sons first conference game Friday,
September %, to the score of 1870.
Turner ripped the Magnolia line
to shreds time and again with his
savage thrusts, and was easily
the outstanding back of the game.
The first touchdown came in the
1st quarter, when Turner swept his
left end for 10 yards on beautiful
run. The try for extra point failed.
Turner again thrilled the spec
tators as he took the kickoff in
the 3rd quarter and romped rs
yards to Magnolia's yard line. On
the LIST play from scrimmage, he
scored on quick opener off guard.
The extra point was added by
Percy Moss.
On offense the fast charging of
Tillman, Evans, and Weathersby
played an important part in aiding
Bulldog backs to hit through the
line for long gains. On defense D.
Dials, I. Smith, w. Samuels, J.
Washington and F. Williams, in the
line, with B. Parrot doing stellar
job of linebacking, completely
throttled Magnolia's running game.
Magnolia threatened in the 4th
quarter, as they took to the air in
desperate attempt to score, but
this failed as the vicious Bulldog
line swept through to smear the
passer for considerable losses. The
Bulldogs missed the services of AL

JACKSON COLLEGE 400 VICTIM
OF MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE

ATLANTA, Ga. Sept 28-(Spe-
ciaD = In an amazing exhibition
of power, on a perfect autumn
evening, the Morris Brown College
Purple Wolverines edged the stub
born and courageous Jackson Col
lege Tigers, Friday night, at Hern-
don Stadium.
The Purple Wolverines and Blue
and White Tigers opened their
grid series by treating Atlanta
fans to one of the cleanest played
game seen here in years. Each
team received two off-side penal
ties and the referee stepped off Is
yards against Morris Brown late
in the fourth period for unneces-
sary roughness.
The purple Wolverines needed
only five plays to roll 70 yards
to pay dirt after the opccing kick
off, with Rufus Tribble, Asheville,
n. c., and Steve Daniels, Way
cross, Ga, moving the ball to the
Jackson 20 and Henry Mosley,
Chattanooga, Tenn, going the rest
of the way on the next play.
Daniels set up the next touch
down with a brilliant 31-yard
sprint, Tribble ploughing into the
end zone from the Jackson 6.
Early in the second period, Mos
ley and Tribble moved the oval to
the Jackson Sd. Quarterback Cole
of Perrine, Fla, hit Captain Regin-
aid Harvel, of Detroit, Mich, with
an eight-yard aerial, and Tribble
crashed over the double-striped
from the Jackson 4. Then just be-
fore halftime, Morris Brown went
81 yards to score, with Tribble
teaming up with Mosley Daniels
and John Williams of Asbury, n
j. Daniels scored from the Jack.

Xavier Defeats
Ala. State, 1870

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 81.
Goldrush tailed in two
periods, the first and the last
here tonight to down Alabama
State 1870 in the opening game
Of States home season at Hornet
Stadium before 1000 fans.
Xavier's first tally came late
in the initial period when the
Catholic crew recovered a Hornet
tumble on their own As and mixed
passing and running plays to send
Mckee, their flashy running back,
over from the one for the first
tally late in the first quarter.
Campbell converted from place
ment and scoring for the first half
was over.
The Hornets jammed back in
the second half to stall the Xavier
attack with vicious tackling but
yielded a late quarter touchdown
when the alert Xavier defense in
tercepted one of Quarterback Earl
Chetham's desperate passes on the
Hornet 40 to start another touch
down march. The anxious Hornets
gave up valuable yardage in pen
aities and snapped fumbles with
the visitors in this final touch
down drive which ended with Ly-
meal McClain, Xavier fullback,
squirting off tackle for 10 yards
to paydirt. Campbell's attempt
at conversion was wide and the
game ended three minutes later
with Xavier Is, State 0.
McCLain's running spanked the
Xavier attack which racked UP a
