pouch especially for mail addressed to-
the commissioner.
As it turned out. the papers filed Feb.

--and two valuable patent applications
were held abandoned"
All the Washington Post once was
required to do, after cancelling the
stamps, was to carry this mail a few feet
and drop it into the Patent ONCE pouch.
The Post Once had "a hours In which
to accomplish this easy task. It failed
to act because of its indifference to the
loss Of patent rights. The Washington
Post Office has clearly degenerated and

Restricting Red Travel

The new travel restrictions imposed upon
Soviet representatives in the United States and
several other countries belonging to the Atlantic
Alliance have been designed solely to give the
Kremlin dose Of its own medicine. No effort
has been made to disguise the fact that the
action has been taken for only one purpose:
To retaliate, to pay back in kind, to offer tit
for tat, in the hope-a tenuous one-that such
course will lead to relaxation Of the similar
but incomparably sitter regulations limiting the
movement of foreign diplomatic personnel in
Russia.
As far as our own country is concerned,
Russian citizens in our Inidst-excepting those
whose movement as United Nations workers is
governed by a special u. N. compact-must
henceforth confine their travel to an area within
q 25-mile radius from the center of Washington
or New York. # they wish to move beyond
that, they must on each occasion inform the
State Department of their desire 48 hours in
advance. II they 60 "off limits" without first
filing such notices, they will be inviting action
by our Government demanding that they be
recalled home. The individuals affected-who
together with their families number about $50
in all are those associated with Soviet agencies
like the embassy, Che Antorg trading organiza-
tion and newspaper services
The restrictions which are milder than
those in effect against the personnel Of Red
Hungary and Red Romania,- obviously not
very severe. They are not meant of course, to
cope with espionage, which Is dealt with In
other ways. They are meant merely to be
annoying. That point has been made clear with
complete official frankness. In effect, IN impos-
ing the limitations, our country Is In part aping
q despicable system, but the aping is being done
with reluctance, and its only objective, in the
words Of the State Department Is TO try to
persuade the men of the Kremlin that "such
treatment Of foreign representatives by receive
ing state Is not necessary, customary or correct,
nor Is 1t conducive to the proper conduct Of
relations between nations"
But the men Of the Kremlin. in all prob
ability, viii decline to be persuaded. Indeed,
even though most of Russia Is already closed
to travel. they may respond BY clamping addi-
tional restrictions On the few still open to
visitors in which case, presumably, we win re-
taliate some more. In terms Of easing interna-
tional tension and promoting mutual UNDER
standing and good win, the prospect thus seems
about as bleak as Il could be.

Victory for Clean Government

The Senate's approval Of the Presidents
plan for reorganizing the Internal Revenue
Bureau represents resounding victory for clean
government It means the end of a political
patronage system under which the Federal tax
collection service deteriorated to a degree that
has shocked the Nation. Hereafter the officials
intrusted with the vital job of administering the
tax laws will be chosen not because they have
qualified as political henchmen of the party in
power but because they have qualified as poten-
tial public servants Of ability and integrity.
It would be unfair, Of course, to charge that
all opponents Of the reorganization plan were
mottvated by selfish patronage considerations
Perhaps the plan could be improved But it is
generally in accord with recommendations Of the
Hoover Commission and 1t bore the Endorsement
las far as it goes-of Mr.. Hoover, the Citizens
Committee for the Hoover Report the Civil
Service Commission and other fighters Of the
spoils system. To have rejected the plan in the
face OF the Nationwide demands for revenue
reformation inevitably would have been inter-
preted by an outraged public as senatorial
blow to the merit system-and tacit condonement
Of the disruptiye and corruptive influences of
political patronage.
The job of lifting the hands of the spoils-
men from Federal employment is not completed,
however. The Hoover Commission called for
sweeping divorcement Of appointments and
politics in non -policy-making positions. There
are many such posts stil subject to political
influences including poStmaSterShipS Congress
should not be content with doing half way
job on the spoils system. Only complete
changeover to appointments by-merit will give
the public a feeling of assurance that their
Government has done everything in its power
to clean its house of faithless servants.

Council Of All Foiths

We have had q number Of inquiries
about the nature of the Community
Council for Social Progress since q
reference to 1t in The Star Of February
% in connection with our efforts on
behalf of Redevelopment and Hous-,
ing Authority for Arlington.
The Council Is an organization Of
individuals Of all faiths working for
democratic principles and an atnos-
phere Of good will in the community.
Your reference to the organization as
"a Unitarian group" was understand
able, since 1t is sponsored by the Uni
tartan Church, but the sponsorship is
not exclusive. and the organization It
self is interdenominational. Without
wishing to minimize in any way the
leadership Of the Rev. Rose Allen
Weston Ii launching the organization,
and the cooperation Of the Unitarian
Church IN providing meeting place
and IN giving moral support, 1t should
nevertheless be pointed out that it
would not be what it Is had II not had
from the outset the active leadership
Of members Of the Methodist, Baptist,
Catholic, Episcopalian and Jewish faiths.
Since all Of us Participate as indi-
viduals rather than as representatives
Of our respective churches, ! mention
only those Affiliations which happen to
be known to me. Our approach Is not
unique, and we cooperate Of course
with other agencies. The councils en-,
deavor is to see our common problems
whole, regardless of race or creed, and
to work for the common welfare in q
considerate spirit.

/ was, OF course, rather taken aback
by Miss Berryman's remarks that ''it is
regrettable that Miss Bishop chose to
award the three painting prizes and an
honorable mention to four Of the So
ciety's nine officers and committee mem
bers. There is no question Of her integ-
rity nor Of the merits Of the works
selected, but there is certainly question
here OF taste. Furthermore. one cannot
but wonder why the officers did not
surrender these prizes, under the cir
cumstances. and ask Miss Bishop to
make other selections"
Concerning the question Of "taste,"
does Miss Bergman imply that officers
Of the society should be penalized be-
cause they have produced meretricious
works Of art? The record Of past exhibit
tions win show that there is no precedent
for officers to place themselves outside
prize competition. In fact. prizes are
frequently won by officers, since those
who are elected to Office in any profes-
sional organization are often the most
active In their profession and are there
fore logical candidates for prizes. Our
officers are artists first and, as such,
have won recognition in national and
international competitions. It should,
therefore, not be surprising that their
paintings would place well In local COM
petition. On the other hand, the Goth
Annual Exhibition was open not only to
society members but also to all artists
residing within q 25-mile radius Of WASH

In view OF Miss Berryman's well-estab-
lished reputation for fairness. the state
fnent that the prize winners should have
relinquished their prizes merely because
they are officers In the society is most
unfortunate. It implies that the winning
Of prizes and the holding Of office are
In some way connected, which we know
Is not true.
