Nearby School Issue

Ivan Booker. assistant director Of re-
search of the National Education Asso-
citation. has denied my charges that
Arlington has a school machine" AS
a very important cog in the machine"
and one whose reputation as an inde-
pendent, fair-minded citizen is at stake
in the community, I can understand
why he seeks to explain away these
charges and to distract attention from
the issue by countercharges.
Mr. Booker was chairman Of the
school board nominating convention
that nominated the six school board
candidates for the three seats that were
filled in the recent election. At this
convention the IL aspirants were given
exactly minutes each to state their
views on school problems and issues.
and no questions from the delegates
were permitted until the first and
decisive ballot had been taken.
I made repeated efforts to amend the
rules to give the candidates who we've
not incumbents a chance to become
known to the delegates. but was howled
down by the school machine" who
were aided and abetted by several ques-
tionable parliamentary decisions on the
part of Mr.. Booker. BY taking ad-
vantage of the general lack Of infor-
nation about the candidates. by hold
ing caucuses, making deals. and carry
ing on telephone campaign, the school
machine" was able to nominate all
six candidates and eliminate any pos
sibillty of the voters having real choice
on school issues.
For years sought to restore control
of the Arlington school system to the
parents, taxpayers, and voters, and
through the Civic Federation, Citizens
Committee for Scnool Improvements.
ard non partisan politics launched the
effort that resulted in the legislation
that created the elected school board.
In so doing, however, l never intended
to merely swap control by Richmond,
the local branch of the State political
machine" and the real estate interests
for control by self f-seeking opportunists,
educational theorists, cliques. fat cat
school contractors and crackpot spend
thriftS.
I am still fighting for non-partisan
principles.

A S GEN. MacARTHUR's speeches
4 n grow hotter to handle politically,
they become harder to parallel histori-
cally.
American history serves up some siz-
zling examples Of polemic encounters.
ranging from stiffly polite skirmishes to
all-out campaigns, between Presidents
and military men. But, in certain re-
spects and attitudes, Gen. MacArthur's
method of attacking President Truman's
policies-and doing it while in uniform
and in the role of a general-for-l life
has few if any exact precedents.
Andrew Jackson, George B. Mcclellan.
John C. Fremont, Alfred T. Mahan,
Leonard Wood and Arthur Macarthur
were among generals or admlrals who
disagreed to spectacular degree with
their commanders-in-c chief.
Historians, however. see something
different in the current Macarthur Sit
uation particularly in view of his recent
frankly political speech in Seattle. 1t is,
they note, not merely what he says but
how he says it in flve-star and national
sounding board fashion.
Andrew Jackson, a first-class fighting
man In more ways IMAM one, SClrreO
trouble nationally and internationally
when in 1918. without orders. he marched
troops into Spanish Florida and
court-martialed and hanged two British
subjects on charges of melting Indian
attacks. Old Hickory, while never at
loss for words. had no open break with
President Monroe. He held his verbal
charges and counter charges fairly we'll
in check until he met political foes in
the civilian campaigns which eventually
brought him to the White House.
The patient President Lincoln had
more than his share of troubles along
that line. Those difficulties, although
often fundamentally political, developed
mainly in the field. Whatever various
Army or Navy chieftains thought Of Mr..
Lincoln, most of them managed to con-
fine their comments to comparatively
small circles.
Removal of Gen. Mcclellan from ac-
tive command in November. 1862. only
two months after the battle at Antietam.
caused bitter controversy. Little Mac"
was ordered to await orders at Trenton.

ing increased attention these days, but
neither she at the window nor in pass

"Templeton Jones, in one of your re-
cent articles, tossing his coin brings to

was rulhleSSly and crirninally hit during the

Americans naturally will believe their own
Governments report, and Russians will believe
the Kremlins. AS for the United Nations as
whole the two versions are so much at variance
and so difficult to check that there can hardly
be satisfactory international clarifcation BY
and large, however, in view Of the Soviet record
OF deceit and aggression, the free and informed
peoples of the world are likely to place their
faith in the facts set forth by the United States.
Beyond that, not without reason, they will de-
plore the incident as another grim example of
how Stains policy seems deliberately designed
to aggravate, rather than ease, today's grave
War-breedng tensions.

Peace and the Hungry

At its opening session in Rome. the United
Nations Food and Agricultural Organization has
heard report that grimly underscores the
urgency of the peacemaking appeals that have
been addressed to the Russians at the current
meeting of the General Assembly in Paris.
Submitted by Norris E. Dodd, director gen.
eral of the FAC, the report warns OF the grave
dangers inherent in these facts: Cd That world
food production has increased only per cent In
the past six years, whereas population has in
creased IL per cent; (2) that most of the hunger
areas are worse of now than in prewar days,
while the well-fed areas have as much as ever.
or even more; and (3) that unless international
action is taken to check this steady deterioration
In OUTPUT and distribution, "a rising tide OF un-
rest and revolution and war" will be inevitable.
The nations of course, have it within their
power to deal successfully with this situation.
Although the population Of the world is increas-
ing at rate of 200 million every decade-which
means that there may be at least billion human
beings to feed 100 years from now-most experts
are agreed that excellent diets can be assured
for all merely by the application OF present
agricultural knowledge throughout the globe.
Beyond that, there is a very real promise that
science, working with things like growth-regu-
lating compounds and the harnessed atom, will
yet find the key to the production of virtually
limitless food supply.
But the trouble is that present agricultural
knowledge leaving aside the great possibilities OF
the future, is not being applied with the vigor
or on the scale required Projects like the Point
Four Program-which envison the export of
knoW-how and a relatively modest volume OF
chronological equipment-are not being pushed
the way they must be pushed if the backward
areas, the areas that are the center of most of
today's dangerous mass unrest, are ever to rise
from misery to reasonably decent standard Of
life Cooperative international action is urgently
needed to cope with the problem, but no real
action is being taken.
Why? The answer is that the major powers
are preoccupied with the hot war in Korea and
the cold war that threatens to become hot else
where. Thus, as they rearm to meet the menace
of Red aggression, the Western Big Three are
distracted from projects like Point Four, the more
so because the Soviet Union seems determined
to be deaf to appeals for cooperation in efforts to
achieve step-by-step progress toward peace.
AS long as this situation obtains as long as
the Soviet Union refuses to do things like ending
the Korean aggression and joining in a good
German settlement, the world will continue to be
diverted from the imperative task of building up
its food resources. In sum, unless real progress
can be made toward peace the hungry only
look forward to more hunger, and that condition
in turn will increase the possibility of a war
that no people, including the Russians, really
want. The FAC report should be required read
ing at the Assembly meeting in Paris, particu-
larly for Foreign Minister Vishinsky. ,

public record" No member has made,
or ever attempted to make, any effort
to cover up or bury the audit 1t was
received in precisely the same manner
that I have received previous audlts.
All members offered their copies for
loan to any interested parties. There

there were no reporters present in the

Of long. strenuous session. Mr.. Cox

cedure and that the rest of the board
was stupid in their action.
BY the way! Does the Editor know
that my copy was borrowed that very
evening by The Star for a period of
three days that they might review and

ALEXANDRIA, Va.

Dear Sir:
Having recently moved to a new
locaton-putting up our bird feeders in
the first hour here-We are hopefully
awaiting birds.
AT our former home we had listed
38 varieties to visit us in the year and
around IS kinds daily.
Each new arrival here is thrill to
see. as one felt bit guilty in ending
source of food for such grand compan-
ions through the years.
Just few days before leaving we
had chipmunk feed daily. He acted
so secure in his belief that he had found
a good place.
I'VE purchased each month 100
pounds of cracked, mixed grain as for
young chickens, 20 pounds of sunf1ower
seed. 10 of peanut hearts, plus raisins,
suet and extra bread.

half mile, or mile, or 10 miles to a
bird?
They are the freest of living things,
and think no more of flying to Rockville
for their dinner than most human
beings do of walking across the street.
Another point
No matter how much we feed the
birds, we can in no sense really spoil
them. for behind their activities lie lit
orally millions of years of activities.
They may return to a yard for three
or four days. but once they make up
their odd little minds that the hand
outs" are gone. they will fly away to
some other place.
Their beady little eyes see far and
wide, and they also have ears. But it is
with their eyes they see, not so much
the food itself, as the congregation Of
birds.
They do not have to see them on the
ground, even, but are able to watch the
inflying of many from different direc-
tions, and once they see this they know
that something is going on, most
probably in the food line.
Hence all persons who move, and so
give up feeding birds in one spot. need
not in the least feel any more than
temporary guilt at deserting them.
They are all Gods children, and in
a better sense than can be applied to
us, they deserve well of Him, and are
supplied their daily food whether we
know about it or not. They are fed, at
least. until mans interference with
nature upsets the precious balance
ordained In the first place.

All Is Forgiven

The invitation which has been extended to
West Germany to join the family of free nations
is not f1attering commentary on the past
wisdom and vision of some statesmen.
Six years ago we and our victorious associ-
ates in World War II were bent upon the
destruction of the sources of German power
Some men holding high position in our Govern
ment were urging that Germany be reduced to
the level Of an agrarian land. But now the
wheel has swung around. The Germans whose
military power was to be forever destroyed are
being assiduously courted as allies In the COM
mon cause against the threat of an armed
militant and aggressive communism. We are
asking them to re-arm and prepare to fight with
the rest of u.s. subject to such Safeguards" as
may be found in the creation of a federated
European community controlling a common
army
The agreement which has been approved in
Paris by the Foreign Ministers of the United
States, Britain, France and the Bonn regime
of Chancellor Adenauer Is merely a first step
in what may prove to be a hard, slow Journey.
Before the peace contract" agreed on by the
Foreign Ministers can become operative, f1ve
supplementary conventions must be ratified.
When these hurdles, and some of them will be
difficult, have been surmounted, the whole
project must win the approval of the partci-
pating governments
At the end of this road If it is successfully
travelled there will be found certain results. For
Germany, battered into unconditional surrender
six years ago. there awaits the reward of
restoration of sovereignty almost, but not quite
total in form. For the continental vctors of
1945 there will be the promise of some kind of
federation, economic and political with a COM
mon army reinforced by perhaps IL German
divisions. And for the skeptics of whom there
and miSgivingS
II 1t be assumed that all of the difficulties,
political and otherwise, can be overcome, and
that the concept Of federated Europe Is trans
formed into reality, the question remains
whether, once again. wisdom is being subord-
mated to expediency. Will the Germans them
selves subscribe whoeheartedly to this project?
AS the restraints are lifted will they keep within
the contemplated framework? Or will they. as
they gain in political, economic and military
stature bid for dominance in Europe or seek
to drive better bargain with the Russians?
That these are among the substantial risks
being taken can hardly be denied. STILL it is
difficult to see how they can be avoided. For
without Germany as working partner there
is little hope of achieving either sound economy
or an effective defense in Western Europe. The
single fact which justfes assumption Of the
risks, and which brightens the outlook for even
tual success, is that in some such federation
lies the only hope, not only for France and the
others but for the Germans as we'll, and tntel-
gent men in all countries know 1t now, If they
did not know it six years ago.
