Sick Men Get Well

The back-to-work rush by the railroad
switchmen, following the Army's threat to fire
all able-bodied men who had not reported for
work by pm. today demonstrates the complete
phoniness of this "sick call" strike. 1t also dem
onstrates that these men can be induced to live
up to their responsibilities
The threat to fire the strikers was a serious
matter for them, because, if carried out, it
meant the loss of all their cherished seniority
rights. Although some of the men had gone
back to work prior to the Army's announcement
many of them had remained Indifferent to ap-
peals from Government officials and union
leaders These appeals carried no threat of
penalty, so why worry? But when severe penalty
became imminent, they changed their minds in
hurry
This indicates that the Government, if really
determined to do so, can deal effectively with
irresponsible conduct by union officials or union
members which threatens the security of the
country Something more Is needed, however,
than laSt-ditch threats to fire strikers
In his formal statement (the informal COM
parison with the Russians was most indscreet)
Mr. Truman said that strike which ties up the
railroads Is bad enough at any time and is in
tolerable in an emergency. "It is essential he
added, that precautions be taken against re-
currences of such threats to our national
security"
1t seems to The Star that this goes to the
real heart of the matter. It is not enough, in
time of emergency, to get men back to work after
enormous damage has been done to the country.
Some means must be found of preventing this
sort of thing.
hint of what may be impending is found
in the Army's statement. "If the dsputing parties
fail within a reasonable time to compose and
settle their differences, and as may be necess-
tated by developments subsequent to the issuance
of this order, the Army will recommend enact
ment by the Congress of such legislation as may
be appropriate to assure the resumption and
continuance of normal rail service and the
settlement of the dispute between the parties"
This language is somewhat ambiguous. But
it points to the best hope of real solution of
this problem. The railroad strikers have been
able, SO far, to tie up the roads and get away
with it,, The Governments efforts to deal with
the problem through the courts have not been
effective. It would seem, therefore, that the
only remaining hope is in new legislation de-
signed to deal with these strikes, and it is re-
assuring to learn that some thought is being
given to this possibility.

Light on the Peace Appeal

The move which the Department of Justice
has made against the Peace Information Center
and five of its officers for failure to register as
foreign agents has no relation to the McCarran
Act or its enforcement. Registration under the
Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1888 does
not necessarily imply that the registrant is in
volved in any activity of which he need be
ashamed. Many reputable organizations and in
dividuals. such as the information services and
officers of friendly nations are listed under the
1888 law. The McCarran Act, on the other hand
is directed particularly at Communist organiza-
tions and other foreign-controlled subversive
groups
If, then the Peace Information Center in
New York has done nothing it wishes to hide, 1t
should have no hesitancy in registering as an
agent of foreign principal" The Government,
in an indictment returned here, charges that the
center is acting as publicity agent for something
called the Committee of the World Congress of
the Defenders of Peace. This high sounding
name, the Department of Justice says, covers
an activity sponsored by the Cominform to
propaganda the so-called Stockholm Peace
Appeal. Secretary Acheson has described this
movement as "a propaganda trick in the spurious
peace offensive of the Soviet Union"
Certainly the American publicity representa-
tive of a Cominform- organized and promoted
organization is as much an agent of foreign
principal as the many other foreign publicity
organizations which voluntarily have complied
with the registration law. At any rate, the Peace
Information Center will have full opportunity
to show otherwise, If it can, when the case goes
to trial. The testimony should throw much ad-
ditional light on the phony Stockholm peace
offensive"

Army Nurse Corps

The Army Nurse Corps, now celebrating its
hftieth anniversary, was direct development
of the Spanish American War. Disease killed
hundreds more soldiers than died of battle
wounds in that conflict. President McKinley's
administration drafted" Washington woman
to recruit girls to nurse the military patients
assembled in hospitals at various points in the
United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines She was DR.. Anita Newcomb MCGEE, one
of the three gifted daughters of the famous
astronomer, DR.. Simon Newcomb, and wife of
the almost equally well-known anthropologist,
DR.. William John MCGEE.
For nearly three years "the only woman
holding commission in the Army" supervised
the experimental and organizing stages" of the
Nurse Corps. Time stained records show that
she was rated as "an acting assistant surgeon,
with the right to wear the insignia of that grade
and corps" Her devotion to the work earned
her repeated official concentrations. In 1904
she was appointed head of the nurses enlisted by
the japanese Army in the war with Russia
Still later she taught at the University of Cali
fornia and lectured on hygiene throughout North
America. Meanwhile, the Army Nurse Corps
continued to grow on the base which she had
established. Congress made it an integral part
of the Army Medical Department Just half
century ago. Under the leadership of DR.. Nc
Gees successors including Jane A. Delano and
Julia C. Stimson, it co-operated with all branches
of the national defense service the Red Cross,
various civilian agencies and institutions. During
World War II there were $1,000 women and girls
In the Nurse Corps. More than half this enlist
ment went overseas, were scattered from Iceland
to Okinawa. Today there are many Army nurses
In Korea. Some reached combat areas within
q week after hostilities began last June.
Current needs are for 5000 volunteers to aid
IN the expanded military program of the Nation.

nurses are asked to phone Liberty 5-6700 Exten

Sensible Policy on School Speakers

No matter how good a policy may be- its
success depends on the manner of its execution
The simple policy recommended by DR.. Corning
and approved by the Board of Education in the
matter Of clearing" speakers who appear before
children or teachers in public schools is sensible
enough. The Star hopes that DR.. Corning and
his school colleagues show themselves to be as
sensible as the policy.
It is a wise precaution to discuss in advance
the qualifications of speakers and the propriety
of their speeches before inviting them into the
public schools. Any school principal who wishes
to invite to his auditorium some speaker whose
remarks would be interesting and instructive to
school children should welcome the opportunity
Tor advance consultation and advice with the
superintendent and an assistant superintendent
before extending the invitation. In the case of
those invited to participate in the teacher in
service training program, the fact that they are
compensated from public funds may make ad-
visable some reference to the public files of the
House Un-American Activities Committee. But
the information received from this source should
be weighed in connection with other obtainable
information as to the character and standing of
those invited to appear on the program.
Washingtonians do not want to regard their
school administrators as mere automatons,
guided by set of nflexible rules and refusing to
think for themselves to rely upon their own
Judgment If they think they are right let
them stick to what they believe. If they are
wrong, let them acknowledge the error when the
error is evident But if DR.. Corning and his
colleagues will show that they, and not every
meddlesome trouble-maker in town, are run
ming the school system, both they and the system
will benefit.
Two speakers who should be invited by
some school principal to appear in the public
schools, after consultation with the superin-&
tendent and designated assistant superintend-
ent, are Mrs. Pearl S. Buck, the distinguished
winner of the Nobel Prize, and Marquis Childs,
the distinguished newspaper columnist Their
appearance in the public schools would 60 far
to correct, gracefully, previous error and would
be welcome assurance of recovery from recent

Addendum

mun1ty appreciates Gfe very instructive
description of our organization which
Caspar Names wrote in The Star of
February g. The article, as it appears, is
a fair presentation of the material which
our Office provided Mr.. Names. How
ever, we fear that the article leaves the
way open for misconception of the role
of the two parent organizations, Be-
thesda-Che Chase Jewish Community
Group and B'nai Birth Montgomery
Lodge, which were of such tremendous
service in bringing our organization into
existence From the article it might be
inferred that these organizations, which
founded M. C. J. c., merged and gave
up their separate existence. This is far
from true. Having provided the impetus
for the new organization, these two
groups have both continued their sepa-
rate and highly valuable services to the
community.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase Jewish
Community Group occupies its own
headquarters at Edison lane, Bethesda.
Md has its own Rabbi and conducts its
own program of activities for its men,
bers. The Bnai Birth lodges, both men
and women, are as active as ever, and
are carrying out their respective pro-
grams of activities.
We would appreciate 1t if The Star
would bring this additional information
to the attention of the public.
Abe M. Lerner,
President, Montgomery County Jewish
Community.

State University
Asks $19.3 Million
Budget for 1852

Regents of the University of
Maryland have asked for a Uni
versity budget of more than $19.3
million next year. This amounts
to about $3,274,o0O more than the
current budget.
The proposed budget would pro-
vide 20 per cent -the-board
salary boosts for faculty members
to be paid out of $1,267,661 in ex-
ira State funds, if such funds are
granted. The current budget in
cludes about $7,120,00O in State
funds.
The Budget Committee of the
Board Of Regents have recommend
ed that the Regents Officially re-
quest the Governor to give the
board hearing on its budget re-
quests"
This request was described as
unusual in that, normally, Cover
nors prepare their budgets pri-
vately and the public gets details
when the documents go to the Gen
eral Assembly.
The Committee said the Board of
Regents is anxious that the pub
lie, the people of the State of
Maryland, know just what the
board is asking and why, before
these requests are passed upon by
the Governor"
