Teachers Tenure
Faith Bradford

In an editorial May 19, you express
opposition to S.3171, the teacher tenure
bill, recently introduced IN Congress.
You object very strongly to the fact that
insubordination has not been specified
in this bill, as a cause for dismissal OF
teachers.
That sounds all right. The trouble.
however, with a charge of insubordl-
nation is that 1t may mean almost any
thing. Refusal to obey the most trivial
or unreasonable request OF . superior
officer can be construed as insubordi-
nation. AS a consequence. unless it is
very rigidly defined, the charge OF in
subordination can easily become an in
strument of administrative tyranny.
Like the sword of Damocles, 1t can be
kept hanging over the head OF any
teacher who shows any independence.
Moreover, you ignore the fact that
teachers are uncertain about their ten
ure status. This unsatisfactory condition
has lasted several years. Together with
low salaries and overcrowded classes, 1t
has undermined the morale Of the pub
lie school teachers Of the District.
This situation has lasted too long
and something should be done about it..
1t is very well to criticize the bill which
has been introduced; but constructive
suggestions are more in order.

Justice Douglas Weighs In

The obvious assumption Of the foes OF
transit radio-including Justice Douglas
of the Supreme Courts that captive"
audiences are about as responsive to
what they hear on the transit radio as
a sponge is to water. And therein. say
these folks, lies the danger in transit
radio. But is this actually the case? Don't
captive audiences from kindergarten on
up have astonishing ability to think
their own thoughts, to contemplate the
robin in the tree, or simply stare into
space to the utter exclusion Of the in
telligence being directed at them? Ask
any school teacher-or ask yourself?
if you can recall your own school days
is there some curious catalyst present
within the steel shell of radio-equipped
streetcar or bus that causes transit
riders to lose their lifelong ability to
ignore almost at will the ideas some one
else thinks they should assimilate?
For the sake of examining another
point, assume there is a true captive
audience in radio-equipped vehicle
captive in the sense that it. to a man, is
giving its collective and undivided at
tention to what is being said over the
radio. What do we have now? Is our
catalyst again at work, making our
audience extraordinarily sensitive and
receptive to what it hears? Has our au-
dience lost whatever powers Of judgment
and independent thinking it had before
depositing its collective fare in the coin
box?
Justice Douglas says: ''1f liberty is to
flourish, Government should never be
allowed to force people to listen to any
radio program. The right Of privacy
should include the right to pick and
choose from competing entertainments.

The Impossible Job
By Bruce Borton

On Friday, April IA, 1865, Abraham
Lincoln held the regular weekly meeting
of his cabinet. The war practically was
over: he was relaxed and chatty. He
told his advisers of a strange dream
that had come to him repeatedly in the
White House-always just before some
crisis or disaster.
"He seemed in the dream to be IN
singular and indescribable vessel" wrote
Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy
"moving with great rapidity toward
dark and indefinite shore"
Lincoln could not explain the dream
any further; but he was disturbed that
Il should have come to him again on
the preceding night. What could 1t pos
siblv portend when all of the news
seemed so good? II know Of no very
innortant event that is likely to occur
Just now" he said.
That night he and Mrs. Lincoln sat
in a box in Fords Theater. There. III
the midst of a cheerful comedy. Jonn
Wilkes Booth shot him: and at IL min
utes past 7 the next morning he was
dead.
Three Presidents, Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley. were assassinated; four
others. william Henry Harrison. Zach
ary Taylor, Warren G.. Harding ana
Franklin D. Roosevelt. died IN ONCE.
Seven casualties out of 80 incumbents.
Was Harry Truman sincere when ne
said he was retiring, and will he STICK
to it? am inclined to think so, ana
I base my opinion on report from
friend of mine who is also friend OF
his. The two visited informally IN the
White House just little while oe1ore
the Truman announcement.
The friend said that the President
looked tired. He leaned back in his
chair and spoke about as follows: There
is no letup in this job, not for minute.
Besides all the other duties, ! have to
shake hands with $4,000 people year.
Mrs. Truman has to give luncheon or
tea party or dinner, or all three. every
day. She must have shaken hands with
$4,000 people. Another four years OF 1t
would kill her."
An earlier President, Calvin Coolidge,
once talked to me in the same vein. IL
was at the little home in Northampton,
Mass, to which he had retired at the
end of his second term. asked him II
he had ever regretted his bombshell an
nouncement, "I do not choose to run"
Slowly he shook his head. Two
terms in that job will kill any man"
And he added, after pause, They
killed me-"
He gave every evidence at the time
of being in normal health. But few
months later he was dead.
The job today Is immensely more COM
plicated, though not more heartbreak-
ing, than in Lincoln's time. Historians
will be arguing for a long while as to
how well or how i'll Truman has sue
ceeded in his struggle with 1t. But all
will at least agree that he was wise to
lay 1t down. Eight years Is plenty In
the worlds most impossible job.

Area Control and Local Fares

The District Commissioners have called
attention of Congress to problem which should
be given careful study in connection with propos-
ais for Washington Metropolitan Area transit
control agency This is the question of how to set
uniform rates within the area without imposing
on District transit riders share of the cost of
operating Improbable suburban buslines.
Both of the principal bills looking toward
regional regulation of transit fares and services
under new authority would raise this question.
Whether the new overall regulatory agency
should be set up by compact among the Federal
Government, the District, Maryland and Virginia
or by single act of Congress as now proposed
in the Johnson bill, unified cross-boundary fares
would be an objective.
But, as the Commissioners pointed out in
letter to Chairman Johnson of the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee, Washington riders
should never be required to pay more than their
fair share of the cost of transit operations inside
the District "A rate imposed on particular
group" they said ito compensate the carrier for
transporting others in other areas is discrimina-
tory and unlawful" Any plan for unified regu-
lation of transit facilities within the area they
argued, should provide for recognition of the
length Of the haul and the cost of the service"
What the Commissioners no doubt had in
mind was the fact that the Capital Transit Com
pany contends that most OF its bus operations
In nearby Maryland are losing money. The COM
panys charges across the District line are regu-
lated by the Maryland Public Service Commits
sion, while those inside the District are fxed by
the District Public Utilities Commission. Because
of deficits in the Maryland operations, Capital
Transit has sought to curtail services sharply
on several lines and to close down others.
Under area control, one agency would fix
rates both inside and outside the District, insofar
as interstate lines serving the area are con-
cerned. But area control need not and should
not result in saddling District riders with. the
cost of transporting passengers on long suburban
hauls that are less profitable than city opera
tions. Transit riders should be assured that they
will pay only for their own transportation, and
not part of the cost of transporting Maryland or
Virginia passengers to the District line. Unless
this assurance is given, the District would stand
to lose more than it would gain by integrated
regulation of public transportation on an area
wide basis.

All honor to Justice Douglas for voting

The public should not meekly submit
to this nuisance, but dispose of it by

not to purchase anything they hear

Roses put something like that-a mys-
tic fragrance-into the very air. And
they. too, bring harvests out Of heaven
and keys to Paradise. In one of his scin-
tillating essays Ralph Waldo Emerson
explains this riddle of the rose by re-
marking that our fondness for flowers
, is an unconscious reaching out, through
them, for the infinite, the invisible, the
beyond But in that reaching out one
must be prepared for the pang Of a
piercing thorn guarding Red Rose Of
Pain.
i In speaking of roses, Christina Ros-
isetti hears them saying: "All my lowell
ness is born upon thorn" What vistas
that opens up with regard to the mas
Stery and mystery Of suffering! Henry
Van Dyke has that in mind when he
says: "The best rose bush, after ALL is
not that which has the fewest thorns,
but that which bears the finest roses"
Then, there is no lovelier rose than one
glorious with the crimson petals of Priv
ilege. Its name is Gratitude. Here in

June to present one fragile red rose"
to the British sovereign. as an acknowl-
edgment Of obligation to the crown.
There is still an annual ceremony on
Rose Sunday in number of our Eastern
American churches. On that day, at
the altar of worship, red rose is lifted
up as an emblem of the rich heritage
whose roots are in that garden OF our
culture which is England.
And when the rose breathes upon us
a sense of our obligation to those who
have made us what we are and have
given us what we have we are close to
. the answer of the mystic riddle. No
man is fit to live who does not wake
each new morning with an overwhelming
sense of privilege. For, as st. Paul
pertinently asks, what have we that we
have not received?"
But the choicest Of red roses fills the
air of today with the promise Of
brighter tomorrow. It is the Rose Of
Prophecy. Isaiah, knowing that "earth
might be fair and all men glad and
wise" seeing that radiant vision down
the vista of the years put it in deathless
words: "The desert shall rejoice and
blossom as the rose"
In the fullness of time came One whose
birth broke the ages in two. In His face
the final beauty is summed and centered
in a loveliness beyond compare. Him
the centuries have called THE ROSE.

Mediterranean Moneuverinu

The recent exchange of official visits between
Spain and some of the Arab countries of the Near
East reflects cautious approach toward a new
but probably limited partnership in the Mediter-
ranean area.
The motivation of this effort can be ration
allied rather easily. Both Spain and the Arab
powers are anti-Communist and well aware that
they could not long or successfully remain neutral
or untouched by an eventual war between the
Communist and nom Communist worlds. At the
same time, both feel themselves treated unfairly
by one or more of the major Western powers.
With the common frontier of the Mediterranean,
plus historic cultural and economic bonds they
have at least the superficial compulsions for
tightening their relationships with each other.
From their own standpoint, the Arab coun-
tries can visualize certain benefits from a closer
working partnership with the Franco govern
ment. One is the possibility of more tolerant
Spanish treatment of the Mosem population in
the Spanish zone of Morocco development that
Madrid already has limited might be forthcoming
and which, in turn, might influence France to-
ward more moderate policies toward the nation
aliSt movements in French Morocco, Algeria and
Tunisia A second potential benefit is the Spanish
influence of historic origin with the Latin Amer-
can republics, bloc of considerable weight in
the United Nations where the Arabs have sought
support for several of their causes.
At the same time, the Arabs are aware that
an outright alliance with Spain offers relatively
little in the way of economic or military assist
ance.
To Madrid, a new partnership with the Near
Eastern countries promises more in prestige than
in concrete benefits. Aware that Britain and
France, and even the United States are having
public relations troubles" in the Near East, the
Franco government could cite close relationship
with the Arab capitals as evidence of its own in
huence and its potential value to the Western
community.
While Britain and France may look upon
this present maneuvering as an irritant to their
own troubles in the Mediterranean area, its fun
damental effect is more likely to benefit the
Western interest It is an area that is important
in the East-West conflict and any addition to
its stability through Spanish-Arab understand
ing should rebound in the long run to the good
of the Western position.
