The area was certified as critical

because of a sharp influx of popu-

and with it the threat of excessive

areas, unless the Rent Advisory

MANDARIN

SINGAPORE 49, up - An en-

Peter Lewis, 81, said it works
this way: he teaches English to

he made the sketches. Actually, the first truly
successful helicopter was twin-motor machine
designed by German engineer in 1886, only le
years ago, and preceding by only year the first
Sikorsky model. Used first for reconnaissance
work in World War II, its value in rescue mis-
sions and other miscellaneous assignments be-
came recognized later. It has been used with
greatest effectiveness for all these functions in
Korea.
The first scientific objective of the trans

Atlantic 'Copter Hop

Another of the notable first flights in avia-
ton history was completed last week when two
Air Force helicopters landed in Scotland after
transatlantic crossing.
In the early years of aviation there was
tendency to consider many of the epochal events
in its dramatically rapid development more like
stunts by foolhardy daredevils than like great
pioneering accomplishments. The public imagi-
nation reacted admiringly to the Wright brothers,
Louis Bleriot, Glenn Curtiss and others but it
did not always see the far horizon which lay just
beyond their individual deeds. Fortunately, there
were some who did and who kept increasingly
on with the search. Ironically, perhaps the
greatest single stimulus to advancement In avi-
alton has been two great wars. The threat OF
another one is having similar effect today.
Leonardo da Vinci, Italian artist and inven-
tor, Is generally credited with having designed
the first helicopter but since his drawings show
no power Mechanism 1t is not quite certain
whether hee5as being artist or inventoe when

the "New Deal" (socialized pragmatism)

Time for q Chonqe-With Stevenson?

Ever since the first World War, West
ern Civilization has been In O process
Of being uprooted from its foundations
not only in nature but In tradition.
Around that time. too, the liberal ira
dition began to regreSS from the domin-
ant position 1t had in the 10th century.
Although 1t Is still powerful as a prac-
tical force in the sphere Of humanitari-
anisrn and social reform. and Of course
1t continues to exist in politicS-never-
theleSs 1t Is everywhere fighting losing
battle with the factions Of the right and
left. But In the intellectual world
and this is world in which Gov.
Stevenson is much more at home than
his opponent-the reign Of liberalism
Is over. The liberal doctrines Of progress
and perfectibility Of society by purely
rational means have not been accepted
as undiSputed dogmas by the thinkers
and writer's Of the last 10 years. Gov.
Stevenson is aware Of this. Consequently
he knows that the skepticism and un-
belief which is the heydey Of liberal
enlightenment. and which. In Europe at
least. was for long time directed
against traditional religion. has for some
time now been turned against the foun-
dations Of liberalism itself.
But there Is something else Of greater
importance that Gov. Stevenson UNDER
stands more profoundly than Gen. Eli
senhower. In fact he almost groans
with appreciation Of the fact that be-
fore the necessities Of the fundamental
changes that are necessary, the wills
OF the leaders Of the present day are
practically poWerleSS. Or, to put this
the way Jacques Maritain expresses it.
they are "impotent to effect the exist
ence OF what may be called the ge-
nertc demand for radical change which
marks our time. and which vet re-
mains In certain essentials underlined
and undetermined. The will of man
Is obliged also to recognize this other
fact: That the logic Of historical fail
ure and the inclination of our human
weakness to follow the line Of least
resistance importunately urge this un-
defined demand for radical change to
seek fulnllment in easy courses and
inferior ways"
It is in the light Of this that one
can foresee that some Of the most pro-
found changes Of thinking and doing
ever experienced by the American people
will gradually come about II Adlai
Stevenson Is elected President Of the
United States; for this man is pre-
eminently favored with those intellec-
tual and moral resources which would

They All Agree on This Item

The annual hearings on the budget estimates.
at which citizens are invited to appear before the
Commissioners to suggest ways of spending or
saving more money, undoubtedly are useful.
They are more helpful, however, in the sense
that town meeting is helpful than in furnishing
precise suggestions on framing the budget. This
Is true because the citizens are not given the
budget details on which to base their recommen-
dations. They do not know how much money the
commissioners will have to spend. They do not
know what budget total the Commissioners will
recommend, for this is secret until it Is revealed
BY the President next January. They lack the
time and the preparation which would enable
them to testify with any authority as to the
relative Importance Of controversial budget items.
Most OF those who appear at the hearings are
there for the purpose of getting more money for
items in which they have some particular interest.
For such reasons, there is little unanimity of
opinions on the budget that the Commissioners
can utilize to their great advantage. But there
was an unusual degree Of unanimity this year on
one subject: The Federal payment, and the need
to increase 1t. For citizens generally are coming
to realize that the Federal payment is of cardinal
Importance in District budgeting. If the decrease
in the proportionate amount Of the Federal
payment continues, the citizens know that the
stage is being set for another round Of local tax

the Federal Government to escape payment of its
own financial obligation in support of the city.
The District Auditor, Arthur R. Pilkerton,
suggested the other day that Congress be urged
to meet the expense of the United States Park
Police out Of Federal funds. This expense now
exceeds half million dollars annually. The Park
Police is purely Federal agency. It is merely
one of many examples of how the local taxpayer
is charged for something that is not his RESPONSE
bility. AS it is now, the Federal payment does
not meet the cost of services rendered to the
Federal Government by the District plus the
extra expenditures required of the District
because this is the Federal Capital.
The Commissioners would do well to follow
the advice of the citizens testifying at their
budget hearing. and take as their number one
budget objective next year an increase in the
Federal payment.

Polluted Potomac

Knowing that you are interested in
pollution problems Of the Potomac River,
I am forwarding the following data
which hope you will pass on to some
agency having responsibility or interest
in cleaning up the Potomac.
The place is above Key Bridge, 800
yards upstream from the Three Sisters,
and on the Virginia side Of the river.
The very pretty waterfall which comes
down over the rocks there Is being pol
luted somewhere upstream by either
laundry water in large quantities, or
the runof from many cesspools or septic
tanks. This situation is worse this year
than last. Last year was the first time
that had noticed it.
It should be easy to trace this source
Of contamination. for the stream is small.
I would do this myself. and report the
offenders, but am due to 20 overseas

Another Loyalty PIedqe

For the benefit Of many bewildered
lay members Of the Virginia Democratic
Party, I hope the State Democratic Of
f1cials will explain publicly why, at the
Chicago convention. they objected so
violently to even a general statement
promising loyalty to the national ticket,
in view OF the strict loyalty pledge which
the Virginia party imposes at the State
and local level.
This local-State pledge, required Of
delegates to county and State conven-
tionS this year, is as follows:
i do state upon my sacred honor that
am member Of the Democratic Party:
that voted for and supported the fol-
lowing nominees of that party at the
last preceding general election:
QIist Of nominees here.)
or, at the last preceding general election
in which I participated and in which
the Democratic nominee or nominees
had opposition. voted for and SUD-
ported all the nominees of that party.
THAT hereby promise on my honor
to abide by the action of the Arlington
County Democratic Convention, and any
other convention in which may par
tlcipate as delegate held in connec-
tlon with the general election on Novem-
ber 4, 1882"
A similar pledge Is required Of any
who wish to run for the local Democratic
committee or for public Office in the pri-
mary election.
Does this mean that the Virginia
Democratic Party actually believes that
the concept Of party loyalty is q fine
thing up to the State level, but beyond
that becomes reprehensible?
Confused Rank and File Democrat.
