Be Sure to Include Them

When the House Civil Service Committee
decided to report bill calling for fiat $4O0-a-
year pay increase for all Federal and District
classified employees, 1t included District of Coum
bia teachers firemen and policemen.
Representative Davis of Georgia is member
OF the District of Columbia Committee as we'll as
the Civil Service Committee He is reported to
have raised jurisdictional question in connec-
ton with including teachers, f1remen and police
men in the overall pay bill. These, he con-
tended should be handled by the District of
Columbia Committee in separate legislation
Chairman Mcmillan of the District Committee
seems to have taken the same position. At any
rate, the Civil Service Committee cut the teach
ers, firemen and policemen from the general
pay bill-leaving it up to the District Committee
to take care of them.
This is picayune stuff. The whole principle
Of the House pay increase bill is to make the
same increase for everybody, instead of going
about it by positions or on percentage basis.
1t would have been more simple and more
expeditions all around to have handled the
teachers fremen and policemen in the same
Aill with other Federal and District employees
: But if the House District Committee is so
anxious to protect its prerogatves in the matter,
It should proceed now to arrange for hearings,
# these are considered necessary, and have its
own bill for teachers, firemen and policemen
ready for consideration. It is going to be difficult
enough to get the pay legislation through Con-
gress as it is. 1t would be deplorable if the
teacherS, fremen and policemen were left out
on a limb because of the District Committees
anxiety to protect its own jurisdiction.

Government Morals

In commenting on the statement by
two members of the Republican RFC in
vestigating committee that Government
morality had sunk to its Lowest ebb"
in history. your able commentator.
Fletcher Knebel, stated that there also
was an "ebb tide" in Government mo-
rality under the Harding administration.
However. Mr.. Knebel failed to point out
the difference between the results of the
two "ebb tides" which is as follows:
In the Harding "ebb tide" those who
were responsible for the beach being lit
tered with rusty oil cans, broken teapotS,
unsightly oil pumps, etc.. were hunted
down and sent "up the river" for their
indiscretions. But in the present "ebb
tide" those who have been responsible
for the beach being cluttered with smelly
fur coats. rusting deep freezers. frayed
RFC contracts, etc., have been tenderly
whitewaShed and held up to the public
as innocent Alices in Wonderland

home for summer of golf and writing.
Then came a call from Clark CLIFFORD

three hours later the appointment was
announced.
The State Department, which had not
seen eye to eye with the President on
Palestine policy. had it's own ideas about
the mission to be sent to Israel. The

Koreu Negotiations

Apropos the peace" or truce" talks
in Korea, should like to recall the re-
frain of poem of Bret Harte, pub
liShed in 1870:
Which I aUiSh to remark
And my language is plain
That for Ddys that are dark
And for tricks that are D1in,
The heather Chinee is peculiar,
Which the same ! Dould rise to
Maintain.
Seems we'll worth considering at our
highest levels of negotiation.

Whut q Man

Gen. Eisenhower. if elected to the
White House, would make a delightful
puppet for Republicans, but poor Pres
ident for the people as whole because
he has no knowledge of politics. Harry
Truman should be reelected in 1852 be-
cause he has become capable President
of whom the American people should be
most proud. I like Harry Truman better
every day because he is no puppet; he
swears when he pleases and tells all of
them where to go when he pleases.
What President what a politician,
what great, great American whom his
tory will make immortal

Birth Of q Diplomat in a New Nation

Of friendliness for Zionism, was not ex-
actly welcomed with open arms. In a
month Of briefing at Washington, Mr..
Mcdonald was treated politely, but he
never did succeed in finding out just
what American policy toward Israel was
supposed to be.
In Tel Aviv. the crowded Israeli capi-
tai, the new envoy found the atmosphere
quite different. Complicated problems Of
government were being tackled by en-
thusiastic amateurs, but things seemed
to work out. The Israelis, with Arab enc
mics on all sides, were willing to 60
along with the United Nations, and par
ticularly the United States, to point.
On matters that seemed to them to
threaten their national existence, they
were ready to defy the world.
Mr.. Mcdonald found old friends
Prime Minister David Benz -Gurion, For
eign Minister Moshe Sharett, later Pres
ident Chain Weizmann. He enjoyed his
work despite major crises such as the
assassination Of Count Bernadotte, the
Israeli attack over the Egyptian border
that brought the threat of British inter-
vention on the side of the Arab States.
and the shooting down of British war;
planes over Israeli territory.
American policy seemed to shift err
ratically, but always Mr.. Mcdonald
could feel that Israel had firm friend
in President Truman. The embassy
crises, big and little, were met, and with
the truce worked out by DR.. Ralph
Bunche, an uneasy sort of peace settled
over the Holy Land.
Now back in private life Che resigned
as Ambassador at the end of 1950) MIR.
Mcdonald is aware that Israel still faces
many internal problems. But it has a
stable government, firmly oriented to-
ward the West, and is growing steadily
in population and resources.
The future of Israel as land Of ref
uge is, thanks to the courage of its
inhabitants and the devotion of Jews
throughout the world, substantially as
Sured, Mr.. Mcdonald believes. Eco
nomic difficulties will be met somehow
or other. Israel. he says, is country
which habitually acts as if it were en-
titled to miracles; as a strategy, this
almost always pays off.

Honor in General
J. J. S.

I feel sure that thousands of grads
must be deeply grateful to you for pub
fishing the article in your Sunday paper
entitled: West Point Cadets Plan Drive
to Wipe Out Scandal Dishonor."
It seems hardly necessary indeed for
the statement in brackets in the article
that the writer, newspaperman, is a
West Pointer, for cannot conceive how
anybody but West Pointer could have
written it.
The reason that this unfortunate situ-
alton has apparently been so little un-
derstood by the general public is because
an honor system, outside academy walls,
is violated continually by so many.
Being stepped in the honor system of
an old traditional American home as well
as that of West Point modern business
and political life have become unfathom-
able and almost intolerable to me.
I should like to make this constructive
suggestion: That some of the millions
going down the political drain be re-
deemed to establish national univer-
sity with four-year training course
sponsoring the honor system for all boys
anticipating the entry of public life in a
civil capacity.

Does this religious, or civic or

with the destitute and underprivi-

ing to ease the burden of living
for unwed mothers and delinquent
youths?
In nearly every community in
the world there are either individ-
uals or organizations whose prin-
ciple task is to help their fellow
humans toward a better way Of
life. Even in prosperous United
States there are thousands of or
ganized charities in churches,
schools, clubs and fraternal So
cieties; not to mention, hundreds
of large national organizations.
Are you, yourself, a member
Of any group engaged in charity
work?
If you are, here is something
for your group to think about.
Here is a program of action de-
signed TO help your group get
more funds for it's work.

it is this:
Art Rooney wants a winning
fdtball team to be wearing the

Nicholson as head coach, is
charged with the task of develop
ing same.
If Rooney, upon awakening
Christmas morning, happens tofind
a Information quarterback in his
stocking he will fell that he is
pretty well on his way to that win
ner.
Bach will throw out the single
wing which Nicholson inherited
from the late Jock Sutherland and
put in his own version of the T.
formation now-you-see-it-now you

It is a cinch that any change
in the Steelers' fortunes must be
forthe better. They are one Of the
losingest teams in the NationalPro-
League, and have been for years.
They dropped seven games during
the past season.
This, incidentally, was a club
which everybody was rather high
on until it moved into action. It
took only a short while to see that
dreams of a winning campaign were
domed to remain just dreams and
that Nicholson either must jump
or be pushed at the finish.
It may not have been his fault.
Perhaps he did not have sufficient
talent for the chore at hand, but
he also used an outmoded weapon
in the single wing while others
turned loose the A-Bombs.
