The Job Should Be Done

Growing demands for special session of
the Virginia General Assembly to reapportion its
legislative districts are based on law and equity.
Unless there is a special session before the end
of this year, the Legislature will be unable to
comply with constitutional requirement that
the State be redistricted two years after every
decennial census To leave the Assembly districts
as they are would be unfair to many areas which
have undergone substantial population growth
during the past decade.
The Assembly baked at the redistricting
task during its regular session earlier this year.
A comprehensive reapportionment plan was pre-
sented to the Legislature by special commits
sion but only the congressional redistrictng pro-
gram was adopted. Northern Virginia's new 10th
district was created after long and bitter fight
The commissions recommendations for legisla-
tive reapportionment would have given Northern
Virginia not only its own member of Congress but
one more State Senator and three more Delegates.
There are now only two State Senators and four
Delegates from all of the Arlington, Alexandria,
Fairfax-Fals ChurchPrnce William area. The
commission properly felt that this heavily popu-
lated region should have greater voice in the
Assembly.
Governor Battle has indicated interest in
the special-session plan. He has said, however,
that he is reluctant to call such session, involv
ing a cost of about 100000, unless he is
assured that the Legislature will tackle the re-
districting job with more hope of success than
It did few months ago. The job will be under

Sometimes one of the latter is built
between a screen and window. In that
case, there must be some small opening
where the insects can get in. It may not
be seen at first, but if the wasps are
watched, they will reveal where it is.
Care should be taken. in such case.
to let the window remain down all
summer, else the wasps will fly through
the house, which is not at all desirable.
Keeping the window closed will be a
small deprivation for the amount OF
amusement the wasps will afford.
The creation of the cells Of the nest
is most interesting.
Bees in the garden pay no attention
to wasps, and leave them entirely free to
live their own lives.
The best an average watcher can do
is to listen to the hum of bees and wasps,
individually. There will not be much
chance of welding then into any sort Of
orchestra. But if one listens carefully,
on warm summer afternoon, the tones
of an orchestra can be heard, as the
various living things. including the birds,
make their own sounds in their own way.

BIorney for Rent

Washingtonians who are having housing
troubles, or some who may not plan to be in
residence here after next January 20. might do
well to consider the Irish real estate market.
Blarney Castle, complete with the famous
old stone and its builtin gift of eloquence is for
rent. Aside from the well-kisSed stone, the
property includes II fully furnished rooms with
10 bedrooms. Three tennis courts plus hunting
and fishing spots, are within the grounds.
Family y-owned, the castle is now under
trustee care of one Mrs. Penelope Hamilton.
Mrs. Hamilton is having trouble that is not
unfamiliar here in the form of tax bill that
makes living on her own estate too expensive.
Precluded by terms of the previous owners will
from selling the property outright, she is astute
enough to realize that selling the stone alone
would be as destructive as selling the diamond
out of ring. Consequently, she is resisting the
"blarney" of several who proposed to purchase
the stone and move it to some spot where its
charm might be raffled of in osculatory fashion.
Those who have climbed the steep and narrow
stairs and subjected themselves to the hazards
and indignity of hanging upside down over the
castle wall to pay customary homage undoubt-
edly will indorse Mrs. Hamilton's decision.

the driver to take him at once to good

Syngnnon Rhee and Korean Democracy

purely q civil law case having no refer
ence to the political situation.
AS for martial law, it was imposed
temporarily because of unsettled con-
ditionS which led to the murder of five
American soldiers by guerrillas on the
very outskirts of PuSan, and because of
the outbreak of demonstrations in
PuSan in which hundreds of people were
wounded. Tempers in Korea these days
are at whitehead. and strong measures
are required to restore order.
In letter dated June 2, addressed to
the United Nations Commission, Presi-
dent Rhee said: Some of our friends
(have) openly criticized me as engaging
in a struggle for power. This is abso-
lutely untrue. The real struggle for
power is being launched between the peo-
pie demanding the direct election of the
President and some members of the
National Assembly who, ignoring the
wishes of the people, are insisting that
they should elect the President. .. I am
convinced that, after the present politi-
cal battle is over, you will realize that it
is l. not my opponents. who are helping
you in your mission in Korea"
Events IN Korea are not conforming
to the political patterns established in
the United States. Neither are the con-
ditions similar. On the other hand.
President Rhee is not trying, as have
some Latin American dictators (two of
them in recent weeks, to seize power
through a military coup. On the con-
trary, he merely is trying to guarantee
to the people of Korea the essential
right of electing their own President
a right that is inherent in true democ-
racy everywhere.
If his whole program-everything he
is fighting for-is completely successful.
this is the sum and substance of what
he will have achieved. Who wants to
quarrel with that?

Mossodegh h in Court

Premier Mossadegh of Iran has said nothing
new in his personal appearance before the Inter-
national Court of Justice at The Hague. He has
merely restated his familiar argument that his
governments dispute with Britain over the
Anglo -Iranian Oil Company is purely internal
affair and that the court therefore has no right
to intervene or hand down ruling of any kind.
This position is based on the contention that
the 1888 Anglo-Iranian contract-which was
drawn up to remain in force until 1993-cannot
be regarded as having been treaty between
two nations. Instead, according to Mr.. Mossa-
degh, it must be viewed as having been nothing
but simple agreement between sovereign Iran
on one hand and private business on the
other-an agreement that Teheran has been
entitled to end unilaterally by Matchmaking all
the properties involved.
In narrow technical sense, there may be
some superficial merit in this argument as far
as it goes. In terms of equity and common
sense, however, the argument is bascally weak
because it ignores the fact that the British
government considers itself the owner of more
than half of the stock of the now nationalized
Anglo-Iranian Company. Practically speaking,
therefore, Mr.. Mossadegh seems less than
realistic when he insists that the dispute does
not involve two sovereign countries but only
sovereign Iran and unofficial oil enterprise.
1t is for this reason that the British have
called upon the World Court to assume jurisdic-
tion in the controversy. They hold that the 1888
contract must be dealt with as a bona fide
international compact under which the Iranians
have been committed to the principle of arbi-
tration in case of serious differences between
themselves and the company. The further point
has been made that the Teheran government is
subscriber to the statute under which numerous
countries have agreed to submit to the court
controversies involving the Interpretation and
operation of treaties.
After it gives full hearing to these argu-
ments, the first thing the court must determine
is whether or not it has a right to intervene If
1t decides in favor of the Iranian view that will
close the issue insofar the court itself is con-
cerned. On the other hand if it agrees with
Britain it will then lend itself to legal proceedings
aimed at working out a fair and equitable settle
ment. However, Mr.. Mossadegh has served notice
that he would consider such proceedings null
and void"-a frame of mind that holds out little
hope for sound compromise.
Yet such compromise-whether or not the
World Court intervenes-is obviously needed,
and it is needed most of all by the Iranians
themselves. For the controversy has brought
their countrys once-great oil industry to a
virtual Standstill with the result that their weak
economy has been steadily deteriorating toward
the point of collapse. A just settlement, wholly
apart from being good for Britain and the West
as whole, would therefore be especially good for
them. Indeed, they require it so imperatively
that Mr.. Mossadegh's intransigent attitude seems
to add up to cruelty senseless disservice to his
own people.

Equity for Korean War GIs

The new "GI bill of rights" legislation Just
approved by the House will give veterans of the
Korean war benefits comparable to those awarded
World War II veterans-but with an important
difference. This time there would be none of the
fagrant abuses which brought the previous pro-
gram into disrepute
The House bill rules out the much criticized
1920 club" which was discreditable part of
the World War II law This was the CLUB" made
up of veterans who, while able to work. made no
effort to do so while drawing special unemploy-
ment stipend of $40 week for as many as So
weeks. The bill provides for the same mastering
out pay as veterans of the other war received.
Nor would the House bill encourage estab-
lishment of fy-by-night schools for CT training
as the expired statute did. Before a school could
be certified as eligible to participate in the pro-
gram it must have been in business at least two
years. And the bill excludes from the educa-
tional program CT courses in ballroom dancing,
tap dancing bar-tending, personality develop
ment, hobby training or similar courses that
were denounced by congressional committee
which investigated abuses under the broader
World War II program.
An important change from the former system
of paying tuition was written into the House
measure after long debate. Instead of payments
being made direct to the schools by the Veterans
Administration, they would be made to the vet
eranS themselves Advocates of the plan insisted
that this would eliminate irregular practices
which Investigators found to exist at some insti-
tutions-to the disadvantage of both the student
and of the Government. Opponents of the
plan thought it might lead to other abuses
including unnecessary payments to. public
supported schools to the disadvantage of the
colleges and universities which stand on their
own feet.
Whatever the plan finally adopted by Con-
gress, it will remain the responsibility of the
Veterans Administration to guard against abuses
wherever they might arise. Congressional investi-
gators found that the VA was sometimes lax in
policing the former program. There must be no
laxity in the Governments vigilance against
waste in this new billion dollar program.
