Scope of the inaugural

Joseph C.. McGarraghy was q logical choice
for the Craftsmanship of the Eisenhower Inaugu-
raj Committee. He not only has been an indie
fatigable leader of District of ColumbiS Republ-
cans but has proved to be an outstanding civic
leader as WELL With Mr.. McGarraghy as head
Of the committee and with a group of capable
men and women as vice chairmen, the planning
for the first G. o. P. inaugural since 1929 can
proceed with the speed and energy required for
the big undertaking.
Chairman McGarraghy is in full agreement
with President-designate Eisenhower on the de-
STABILITY Of keeping the January 20 ceremonies
on dignif1ed level. He will have the difficult
Job of preventing the long -pent-up exuberance
Of the Republican Party from exceeding the
bounds which Mr.. Eisenhower may specify The
PreSident-elect Is UNDERSTANDABLE loath to be the
center of a Hollywood-like extravaganza at a
time when thousands of young men are engaged
in fighting war in Korea. Mr.. McGarraghy
believes, however that the inaugural can be
"big" and reasonably gay without taking on an
Objectionable carnival aspect. Unless tradition
is brushed aside, there will be a parade from
the Capitol to the White House along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and a grand inaugural ball. Prop
erly planned, neither of these events should be in
conflict with the new Presidents wish that the
ceremonies be made simple as possible
Whether there will be additional events to mark
the celebration of the advent of new admins
tration is question which Mr.. Eisenhower and
his advisers should settle soon.
There is much to do between now and In
auguration Day, however limited the ceremonies
may be. The bulk of the task will rest on Chair
man McGarraghy and his committee, the large
membership of which is yet to be appointed. The
cooperation of Washington's civic and business
organizations will be needed. For the Nation is
depending on the local community to arrange
truly national celebration of the induction of
a President who received the largest popular
vote in history.

Tito's PIedqe

Marshal Tito, IN his ADDRESS to YugoSaV1a'S
Communist Party Congress, has attacked the
Kren1lin 50 scathingy and so dehantly that his
1948 break with that fountainhead Of Red totai-
tarianism now seems about as irreparable as
anything could be. At the same time he has been
at pains to align himself more firmly than ever
with the Vests defensive effort against the men
ace of Soviet aggreSSion-a fact to be welcomed
in the free world even though he heads a die
tatorship that processes to be the only true prac
titioner of the doctrines of Marx and Lenin.
Speaking of internal and external Soviet poll
cies this man-once regarded by the Kremlin as
its best and strongest puppet-has scornfully de-
clared that "the great Lenin would turn over in
his grave at the unSurpassable stupidities" of
Stain and his colleagues and at "the horrible
degeneration of the achievements of the great
october revolution" Tito has not minced words
in his indictment: In addition to grinding down
RuSsia'S workers, the Moscow dictatorship is
guilty of having fused its influence to push North
Korea into aggressive war" Further, it is guilty
of threatening the peace of the world with an
imperialism under which it "is arming itself and
It's satellites in order to achieve its aims by force
To hold enSlaved countries in Subjugation, to
seize new territories and enslave other peoples"
BY way of contrast, relatively speaking, Tito
has heaped praise on the Western Powers not
ably France, Britain and the United States.
Thus while chiding them for making deals with
the Kremlin at Yalta and elsewhere cbargain-
ing for spheres of influence" at the expense of
smaller nations), he has been emphatic in
thanking them, especially our own country, for
extending economic and military aid to enable
Yugoslavia to stand firm against the threats and
pressures of Stalin'S Cominform. Realistically
enough-and in this he Is right-he has observed
that in Anglo-French-Am American circles there are
more than few people (he calls them reaction
ariesD who entertain no love" for his regime
but that they are nevertheless cooperating
with him ION a number of questions of common
interest"
In other words, despite theological incompati-
bility. there is kind of wedding of convenience
between the free West and Communist Yugo-
slavia This wedding, of course, makes sense be-
cause it offers the contracting parties mutual
benefits, particularly as regards the biggest Of
all the questions of common interest"-that
having to do with cooperation in building up
defenses against the threatening Soviet Union.
Certainly Titos pledge on that score is helpful
not only to himself but to our own world as well.
AS long as he stands by it, he will merit aid. A
glance at the map shows why: His country occu-
pies position of great strategic Importance in
Europe More than that, his continuing defiance
of the Kremlin has major potential significance
in terms of how 1t may encourage other Titos
to arise in some of the satellite lands behind
the Iron Curtain.

Those Muscular Habit Patterns

The chair-borne forces, often under heavy
FIRE from their athletically eager compeers, have
received moral reinforcement from the National
once Furniture Association.
The association looked over its own desks
and chairs and discovered that one out Of every
three businessmen puts his feet on the desk. BY
combining this statistic with some unrevealed
formula on mortality and all-around zest for
living, it was then deduced that while 1t may not
be mannerly habit 1t is a healthful one. There
should be more Of 1t, the authority advises

without concern over the number of desks that
would be scratched or chair backs broken.
Sticking strictly to the scientific aspects of
the matter the association asserts that one OF
the most common symptoms of business worries
is muscular tension" Raising the feet to desk
level breaks up muscular habit patterns and
releases tension"
It is indeed encouraging to feel that busy
association can take time out to bring comfort
and reinsurance to those who feel that even
sitting up straight is too much Of an effort.

Union Shop
Charlotte p. Gannett.

Union Shop
I was glad to see the excellent letter
by A. j. Bier regarding the union shop.
Doubtless many other thinking persons
foresee the subjugation Of the worker
through extension of the union shop,
but so far few speakers and newspapers
have gone on record as opposed to this
form of discrimination against job seek
ers. Today we talk loud and long about
the first three of the forms of discrim-
ination noted below, but not about
the last two. The five forms are dis
elimination against certain job seekers
because of race, creed, color. age. union
membership.
The last two are more far-reaching
and hence are proper subjects for Fed
eral law, while the first three may not
be. The fifth form especially has needed
congressional attention for long time.
There is no reason, in my opinion. for
further hesitation on the part of Con-
gress in outlawing the union shop.
Labor does not need it. Industry does
not need it. The job seeker certainly
will be glad not to have the hurdle of
the union shop to cross. It is not the
American way to place obstacles in the
path Of the honest seeker. for work.

Wet Mimi Smash
Into Strategic Town
By the Associated Press

HANOI, Indo-China, Oct. 18.-
Communicated Wet Mimi today
smashed their way into the stra-
tegic town of Nghia Lo, 100 miles
northwest of Hanoi, and drove on
toward the Red River delta, main
French defense bastion in Indo-
China.
French army headquarters said
the Reds used more than 5000
shock troops to beat down the re-
sistance of 900 defenders in Nghia
Lo.
There was no indication of how
far the Wet Mini thrust might
go before the Reds ran into a
major battle with the French.
There are numerous strongly de-
Tended French posts beyond the
town which the Wet Mimi would
have to crush to continue their
drive.
The French threw in waves of
bombers and fighter planes in a
vain effort to beat off the Red
shock troops who had been pound
ing the town with artillery and
mortar fire since Thursday.
Nghia Lo, a town of 5000, is
the gateway to the mountainous
Thai country that stretches up to
the border with Red China.
The speed, precision and style
of the Wet Mimi attack clearly
indicated they had a thorough
briefng from the estimated 10000
Chinese Communist military ad-
visers and technicians reportedly
with rebel leader Ho Chi Minis
forces.
