set up to delay them, it appeared that
the Oldest of the German nations. in
point of civilization, had succumbed.
The paradox is that this nation, which
was the weakest survivor of World War
!, has shown amazing strength since
its liberation at the end Of World War
II. And much of its will to live can
be credited to our visitor.
What the will to live can overcome
is well illustrated by what Figl survived
at Dachau. He was IS. For two years
he had been director Of the Farmers
Federation which had fought the ris-
ing tide of National Socialism in Aus
tria. He was in the first transports Of
prisoners taken from Austria to Dachau
after Anschluss. There at the risk of
his life he repeatedly tried to save his
comrades and the SIS guards frequently
condemned him to the lash. This meant
being tied to a wooden block and being
beaten until he lost consciousness and
collapsed in pool of blood.
After the war he became head Of the
Austrian Peoples Party, which sue
ceeded the Christians Socialists. The
party won majority in the first elec-
tions in November, 1945. But Ma
tionalist government was formed
including the Socialists headed by Vice
Evening star., 1952-05-12

Chancellor Adolph Schaerf, who is still
in Office, and single Communist.
The Communist member dropped out
in 1947 but the Peoples Party (the old
Christian Socialists or Catholic Party)
and the Socialists have worked together
despite their bitter prewar differences.
Despite the money made available to
them from an unknown source, the
Communists have got nowhere. Figl has
remained on top through those trying
years when Chancellor Macy of Hungary
to the south fled a successful Com
munist coup and Masaryk committed
suicide in Czechoslovakia to the north
after the Communists took over.
Figl's long fight for peace treaty,
which is one of the reasons for his
American trip. has been based on the
evidence of his nations will to live and
it's viability-its means to live. He
points out that with abundant supplies
of iron ore, oil wells and the tremendous
possibilities Of hydroelectric develop
ment on her Alpine slopes. Austria can
be industrialized and can be self-sup-
porting. He feels that Austria owes
much to America. But every American
owes something to this modern knight
for his successful stand on the marches
Of the East.

The European Army

Six European nations took an unprecedented
peacetime step of blending sovereignties with
the initiating in Paris of the European Defense
Community treaty
BY terms of the agreement, the six-France,
West Germany, italy, Belgium. the Netherlands
and Luxembourg merge their armed
forces into a one-uniform supranational military
establishment under single commander of the
NATO structure Marshal Alphonse JUN OF
France already has been named commander. A
co-ordinated system of supply Standardization
of armaments and joint financial support would
be applied. Only such national forces as might
be designated for duty outside Europe would
remain out OF this pooling arrangement Air,
ground and sea components would be included.
Fifteen months of thought and negotia-
tions have gone into the project thus far. Many
hazards remain before the paper plan can
become a reality in terms of armed strength.
The next step, not expected to be difficult
one, will be the signing of the treaty by the
foreign ministers of the six governments. After
that will come the more difficult and time
consuming problem Of gaining parliamentary
approval in each of the countries. The French
and West German governments, each support
ing the plan, face political reservations or out
right opposition in Paris and Bonn and their
legislative approval may require additional
amendments to the draft treaty.
Another potential delay exists in the con-
dition that the treaty does not become effective
until the signing and ratification of the pending
peace contract between West Germay and the
United States, Britain and France. Agreement
on this contract has been expected soon, but
high degree of political uncertainty has de-
veloped in West Germany as consequence Of
Russian proposals for uni1cation and rearma-
ment of Germany as whole.
Despite the obstacles and uncertainties still
facing it, the project has prompted a whole
some exercise in mutual international planning
That six governments would carry even to this
extent the idea of surrendeEing exclusive control
Of their national military facilities reflects their
genuine intent to remain at peace with each
other and to stand together against any aggres-
sion from outside Such philosophy is In itself
a deterrent to aggression by others. Since MAIN
tenance of the peace, even in its present uneasy
stage, is the basic objective Of all of today's
efforts by the free nations there is an indirect
value at least in the progress made thus far
toward creation of the European Defense Com
munity.

'ReoI villain in Steel Crisis

In his May column, Lowell Mellett
directs attention to the real villain" OF
the steel crisis-the price Of steel. He
clearly points out that the cost OF steel
will determine whether or not we will
have insufferable imitation; that it un-
derlies everything made Of steel and
thus reaches out to all corners OF the
country and all parts Of the Nations
economy. He notes that the steel COM
panies insist that prices must go up II
they are to pay the demanded wage in
crease, while the Government contends
that the companies can pay the higher
wages without increasing prices and still
have satisfactory profits" He believes
that cit is fair to assume the Govern
ment has gone thoroughly into the price
and profit structure of the steel indus
try" and accordingly we can assume
that Mr.. Mellett believes the Govern
ment's contention to be correct.
We have no way Of knowing which
side is right on the price of steel:
whether the steel companies are honest
and accurate in their claims; or whether
the Government has thoroughly and
fairly studied prices and profits in the
steel industry.
But. if the Government is correct in
maintaining that the companies can pay

All Chiefs and No lndiuns?

Joe Young in a recent column says
that Civil Service Chairman Ramspeck
has proposed that a "top-flight man
agement expert" from private industry
be brought into the Government at a
salary of $4,000 year to spur better
management efforts in Federal agencies:
also that career business manager
be appointed in each department or
agency to assure continuity of good

Mr.. Young does not, however, state
what the present officials, whose salaries
range from $4,000 to $4,000 year,
are supposed to do when the new jobs,
above-named, are created.

more clerks to do the actual work and

Eric was the soul of honor, quite in
keeping with Phyllis McGinley's poem
in the New Yorker:
Jones was walking along, being an in
verterate pedestrian, when suddenly he
was confronted.
The dog suddenly raised up on his
hind legs, and put his forepaws on Jones'
shoulders.
This brought the big, handsome, fierce
canine face quite on level with Jones
mug.
Dog eyes looked into human eyes, For
a second Jones succumbed to panic. He
had never before been greeted by a
boxer.
Then his mind took control.
"How. are you, dog?" asked Jones.
Eric made no reply, other than to re-
lease his hold and drop down to more

Calculating .Crucifixion Dote

A letter from Bernard r. DeRemer
appearing April IS stated that in the
calculation of the date Of the crucifxion
of Christ. 1t was well known that they
(the ancient Hebrews) reckoned the
day from sunset to sunset. That is cor
rect; but he further stated that part
of day was counted as whole day
and that a part of Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday was considered as three
days and three nights" Gas stated in
Matthew xii.40) as the time that Christ
said that He would be in the heart OF
the earth.
It is practically unanimously agreed
among authorities on ancient Hebrew
that in the calculation of a period Of
days, like three days, five days. or seven
days, or any such period of days, a part
of the first day of such period, or part
of the last day Of such period, was con-
sidered day. but in no case was a part
Of the day at both ends Of the period
considered a day. Such calculation is
preposterous, and had no basis among
scholars, as a study of ancient Hebrew
writings will disclose.

AS Chancellor Of Austria, he has spoken out fear
leSSly, and repeatedly against the Kremlin's per-
sistent, refusal to honor solemn international
commitments to restore the liberty and inde-

acing Soviet occupation forces has not intimi-

to intensity the forthrightness and emphasis of
his just demandS-demandS that have the full
backing OF France, Britain and the United States.
It is not surprising, of course, that DR.. Figl
has acted without fear or equivocation. son
OF the soil, acutely conscious of Austria'S rich
history and key role in the development of
Western civilization, he has been partisan of
freedom throughout all his adult life. Tyranny
and aggression are not new to him. He remem-
bers only too well the long and bitter years he
spent in Hitler's concentration camps during the
Second World War. He remembers, also, how
close he came to being executed by the Nazis
for "high treason"-the crime of loving his coun-
try, of dedicating himself to the cause of inde-
pendence, Of standing up bravely,- and in the
open, as an unqualified champion of individual
and national liberty Small wonder that the
Red totalitarians have been unable to COW him.
It is against his nature to be frightened by
bullies. More than that, it is against his nature
physically and morally-to compromise with
what he has called, right in the teeth Of the
Soviet occupiers "the demoniacal spirit of de-
struction" inherent in the Communist con-
spiracy to sweep away everything that is good
and decent on this side of the Iron Curtain.
Officially and unofficially Washington and
the United States as whole should extend the
warmest welcome and the fullest honors to this
man during his brief visit BY word and deed,
ut great personal risk, he has long since aligned
himself and his country with the forces of free
dom. In return, in addition to receptions and
laudatory speeches, America owes 1t to him to
keep on striving with France and Britain-by
every means within reason--to make the men
of the Kremn abandon their shameful obstruc-
tionism and live up to their pledged word to
restore Austria's independence without any 'ifs,"

Dr.. Montessori

The Netherlands at 81, was only name to the
Younger generations of today. But Washing

a sensation in social and educational circles DR..
and Mrs Alexander Graham Bell gave recep-

though she were movie star.
The explanation of such adulation probably
lay in a skillful publicity campaign which had
been conducted in Dr. 'Montessori's behalf by
Col s. S. Mcclure and her American translator,
Dorothy Canfield Fisher Her work, as seen by
Italians had aspects of novelty which did not
appeal to all Americans Originally, she had spe-
cialized in the training of infants who were re-
garded as defective. When she declared that the
same methods of instruction and guidance
could be applied effectively to normal youngsters,
there was criticism of the idea. rival psycholo-
gist accused her of creating "egomaniacs."
But the Montessori technique did have con-
structive effect in schools devoted to the educa-
ton Of exceptional children. The emphasis of
the founder of the Casa del Bambini on individ-
uality was helpful in offsetting augmentation In
the lower grades. To her credit it should be men
toned that she opposed Mussolini and the Fascist
dictatorship in her native country. BY 1891 she
was "a dumpy old lady," wandering from capital
to capital over Europe. During World War II
she was interned in India. Now her story is nm
ished She will be entitled to place in the his
