The truth about Huston Is
that. like his father, he is 4
restive man who enjoys work
ing in different milieus. The
latter stayed put nowhere. He
could turn from '.DodsWorth'' to
the musical 'Knickerbocker

His artistic concern is with

1t is f1agrantly clear that he
has done this in directing 4Afri-
can Queen" And, that the
latter does not represent q
reckless departure from the
John Huston program is sug-
gested in the fact that his first
successful film, "The Maltese
Falcon, was also melodra-
matte comedy. More melodra-
matte than comic, truly, but

Kramer. himself, denies any
such exclusive commitment. Al
though all the evidence points
to an unwavering interest in
serious themes with the ex-
ception Of the "Cyrano" pro-
duction-his company has no
policy that would reject the
chance to make the right COM
edy. The one that catches his
fancy has not come along in
the multitude of scripts which
he is constantly considering.
When. and if. it does, the
chances are that the accusa-
ton Of heresy will be louder in

This, in spite Of the fact that
neither has ever expressed a
conviction that contemporary
living has no lighter side.

Dreory Prospect

Returning from the Far East earlier In the
week, Admiral Fechteler, chief OF naval opera
tions, told newsmen he still expects an armistice
in Korea. II think we are going to get It, he
said, because the Communists want it. The
reason: Every time they stick their heads up they
get hurt"
If Admiral Fechteler had any better reasons
for his optimistic view, he did not state them.
And the chances are he had no better reasons.
At any rate, General Van Fleet, 9th Army
commander, has now come forward with state
ment of his own which throws a large bucket Of
cold water on any optimism with respect to
Korea
General Van Fleet who Is on the combat
scene and who ought to know the facts better
than any one else, says that there is less chance
for an armistice now than ever before. And the
principal reason he gives is that the Communists
are prepared to sit out stalemate and they
believe that the United Nations forces will not
attack to enforce truce.
That unhappily, is true. We will not, and
perhaps cannot, launch an attack on the scale
required to bring victory in Korea, and neither
is there evidence that we have any plan or pro-
gram that will bring an honorable peace through
negotiation.
SO the dreary prospect is that the war in
Korea is going to drag on and on and on
regardless of the optimistic note that has been
struck by. Admiral Fechteler.

This and That .
By Charles E. 7rocewen

believe it. millions of Americans would
rather have been shot than have vio-
lated the decree?
The hat men had another mandate,
then, equally enforced, that every male
American over 16 years old should re-
vert to a felt hat on September Is.
These laws were as inviolate as the
famous edicts of the Medes and the
PersianS.
Actually, in those days. men. were
afraid not to wear hats, afraid to wear
hats, afraid to wear the wrong hat;
they were hated this way and that way.
and were more timid about the wrong
hat than the wrong answer.
It was socially bad to appear in an
iron hat. when one should have been
wearing straw.
An iron hat" of course, was the
derby. which not one man in 10000
looked well in.
The men at ball game on Septem-
ber is threw their straw hats into the
arena. upon some memorable play.
AS for the cap. that was held to be
fit only for workingmen. with accent
on the first syllable.
It was socially bad, In the Washington
Of the gay COS, to appear in public with
out ones coat.
Only in the last 20 years. since the
invasion Of the young barbarians In '33.

What IsGood

Governor Stevenson closed his acceptance
speech before the Democratic Convention with q
pledge. II shall always try" he said, 'to do
justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with my God.,"
The quotation is from the sixth chapter Of
Micah. It outlines the creed Of a humble man.
But the context in which it occurs does more
than that, for it offers concept of values which
is of some comfort to humble men everywhere:
wherein shall I come before the Lord, and
bow myself before the high God2 Shall come
before Him with burnt offerings, with calves OF
a year old?
"Will the Lord be pleased with thousands OF
rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall
I give my first born for my transgression, the
fruit OF my body for the sin Of my soul?
He hath showed thee, o man, what is good;
and what doth the Lord require Of thee, but to
do Justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy God?s

Sudden flash floods are no new thing
in Washington.
We can recall, in the summer of 1913,
how water raced from curb to curb down
Seventeenth past @ street.
Fresh from college, we wore trousers
and T-Shirt, to run down to see the
waters, and horrified old ladies who liked
to be horrif1ed.
1t is wonderful, and was then, the
capacity of the American people to be
upset. Perhaps that is a good thing. It
helps hold the balance true, and works
both ways.
In those days, the young boy who
appeared without hat was frowned
upon.
They had capacity for frowning. too.

GorfieIds School Of Nursing

Garfield Hospital School of Nursing, begun
in 1899 is one of the oldest in the country and
has won a fine reputation. The announcement
earlier this month that it would be closed this
fall, after graduation of the senior class, was
bitter blow to many of its students and dis
appointment to those associated with the hospi-
tai. That is what makes all the more welcome
the news that an effort may be made to keep the
school in operation for at least another year
Financial difhculties are chiefly responsible
for the decision to close the schools They are diff
Hculties common to almost all voluntary hospi-
tails Another reason given for the decision was
uncertainty whether there would hesa nursing

Even now, men prefer to hold the
coat over the arm, just to show all and
sundry that they actually own one.
It was a silly, beloved era, whose chief
sign, as we remember 1t. was the ad-
herence to laws and injunctions, many
of which were unwritten. just as the
children were responsive to various
movements, such as the proper day to
begin baseball, football and top spin
ming.
Children, being great conservatives,
still stick to the customs mysteriously
handed down to them by the genera
tions Of children who have vanished
into adulthood.
Lemonade with meals was gracious
old Washington custom.
They had never heard Of vitamin c,
but they got it just the same when
they drank their lemonade.
There was big frosty pitcher in the
pantry, where the dumb waiter, as it
was called, came up with sundry creak-
ings Of invisible ropes.
Who remembers the water filter? Local
water was so muddy In those days that
big crock held q filter of porus stone,
through which water was trickled for
drinking.

into operation. Washington water was
so murky that har Of soap that sank
in the tub was lost To sight.

ways and means of keeping the school alive for
another year 1t would require about $22,O 600 to
do that. But pledges amounting to almost half
that amount are said to have been received al
ready, and there is some prospect that additional
donations up to the amount required will be
available. It is to be hoped that the funds can
be secured before the deadline of August Is. If
it is possible to include nursing school as part
of the new hospital center, the continuation of
the Garfield school woulc be natural step in
that direction Abandonment of Garfeld's School
OF Nursing, pending final decision on new
school, might be unwisely premature.

Future of Capital Transit

One OF the five alternative plans for the
future of the Capital Transit Company, offered
to the public by Board Chairman Louis E. Wolf
son, will be received with something less than
unrestrained enthusiasm This is Mr. Wolfson's
suggestion that all the public transportation
companies now serving the Metropolitan Area
be merged through purchase by Capital Transit
and operated as a unit.
There is little to indicate that the Wolfson
group, since obtaining control of Capital Transit
has had anything in mind other than Specula-
tive investment which has already paid hand
some profit, or that its aims would be otherwise
II it owned all transit facilities. The controlling
interests of Capital Transit have demonstrated
that their chief concern is the stockholder, and
the dividends that his stock purchase entities
him legally to receive. This is a permissible
point OF view for private enterprise. But some-
thing else is necessary in the operation of a
public utility, which is given exclusive privileges
in return for services rendered the public. Some
method must be found under which the public
interest comes first.
That is why Mr.. Wolfson's other alternative
plans are OF some interest to the public. They
tend to prepare public thought for eventualities
which may not be so far away If private own
ership and operation of the transit company
cannot meet public demands for good service at
pront TO private investors and at rates that
attract, rather than drive away, new streetcar
and bus riders, then some substitute must be
sought and found Mr.. Wolfson has outlined the
nature OF some of the substitutes. They range
all the way from operation of the transit COM
pany as charitable foundation to establishment
/ of public transit authority, which would buy
the transit line and pay for it out Of operating
revenues, thereafter continuing to operate it
without private profit as public service.
There is certain timing in Mr.. Wolfsons
having suggested these alternatives now. There
is pending before the Public Utilities Commission
the company's latest petition for another boost
in fares. The import of Mr.. Wolfson's suggestion
OF alternatives seems to be that if the commits
sion does not come across with fares that will
pay private ownership an adequate return on its
investment, then the public should begin looking
around for some other method of obtaining
public transportation facilities. The time to
begin such exploration is probably not far away.

The Grow Diary Case

Major General Grow has been convicted and
punished for improper use of secret official in
formation in the form of private diary. Al
though the trial was conducted in closed court
martial there has been sufficient information re-
leased on the case to indicate that the proceed
ings and their results were fully justified.
With that said there is obviously no use in
q further castigation of General Grow for an
indiscretion which now mars an otherwise fine
military record. It is possible, however, to turn
even such an unfortunate incident to some good
end; in this instance recognition Of the clever
and unscrupulous distortions which Soviet prop
agandists applied to the Grow diary in making
it public. The Army Department has made such
a case history study.
The renegade British author, Richard squires,
was the principal publicist of the stolen diary
in a book entitled ION the Path to war"
Whether Squires did the actual misinterpreting
and supplementing of the generals notes, or
whether some artful conSpirator In the Kremlin
composed the false but damaging interpretations
is neither known nor particularly important.
It Is important that the comparative study be-
tween what General Grow wrote and what APP
peared in the Squires book has been made by
the Army and that there should be an aware-
ness of the unprincipled code of Communist
behavior.
Several of the most inhammatory state
ments as quoted by Squires and broadcast over
Europe through Communist media do not appear
at all in the Grow diary. In other cases the
familiar device Of quoting out of context lends
an entirely false meaning to the sections so
chosen Perhaps one of the most effective deceits
practiced by Squires is the posing of hypothetical
questions by the author with phrase in seeming
answer lifted out of the diary.
It may be rather difficult to establish the
fine line as to what military attache should
or should not put on paper, but it is quite easy
to conclude that nothing however innocuous,
should be allowed to fall into Communist hands.
