She is right.
And now come marvellous revisions of
the older translations, both Protestant

own ideas about the newer versions We
stand firmly on the King James version.
To us, that is and always will be, the

There can be no question, however,
that the newer versions correct some Of
the misunderstanding of earlier trans
lators. They are easier to read and
more in the context of our days.
One advertisement Of the new revised
standard version says. "For those who
already have Bible"
This is good idea. The newer books
admirably supplement the older and
afford sort of commentary. There is
no reason why the average American

U. N. Needs HeIp
Robert Linton.

Constantine Brown says the 'U. N. is
fast losing the confidence of loving
peoples" This may be so. but one can
not help wondering whether some groups
IN the United States are determined to
do their best to promote this very trend.
There is indeed a grave crisis in the
U. N. brought on by the Vaccinations of
the McCarran committee, which is doing
its utmost to discredit the organization.
To Senator McCarran, the U. N. is neces-
sarily an evil institution, since it is full
OF damn foreigners" There have been
many other groups taking pot shots at
the U. N. for various reasons.
Can the U. N. survive and retain the
trust of peace-loving peoples? I think
that depends largely upon the willingness
OF American representative organs to
deal fairly and justly with the organiza-
ton and Of the American press to report
the facts effectively rather than appeal
to popular prejudice. I believe that the
United Nations still represents the hopes
OF millions throughout the world, and
that it can be made to function if we
are prepared to be patient and to help
rather than hinder it in the exercise of
its enormously difficult functions.

The Campaign Should Go On

This years Community Chest campaign has
been going so well that it would be mistake
to call off further solicitation at this time. The
canvassing job cannot be regarded as completed
as long as many potential givers remain unso-
licited-as is the case today. A weeks extension
of the drive originally scheduled to end today is
the least that should be considered The goal Is
within sight The campaign should be continued
until every untapped source of possible donations
has been reached.
AS the tireless workers assembled today for
luncheon they had reason to be cheered by the
fact that they have raised 100000 more than
last year for similar period. The total stood
at $3,536,673, representing contributions from
363,203 persons in the Washington Metropolitan
Area. The goal is $4,15OOOO. The campaigners
are only Is percentage points from victory. This
is a creditabe showing, considering the fact that
the drive in the suburbs concided with spirited
election campaigns that not only diverted public
attention from the Chest but hampered the
canvassing. With conditions more normal there
is good reason to believe that considerable
amount of additional money can be raised by
continued efforts of the teams. An extension
Of the drive-until Christmas if necessary-would
be imposing additional burdens on an already
satisfaction that would come with ringing up
the first Chest victory in years should be an
inducement to carry on until the goal is attained
Or until every possible chance of reaching it
has been exhausted

A Loss to Woshinoton

General Robinson's relief as Engineer Com
missioner and his transfer to the office of Chief
OF Engineers for future assignment imply pro-
motion for him and broader responsibilities in
his chosen professional career.
That fact will dampen what in other cir
cumStances would be very genuine protest
from citizens of Washington over the premature
ending of his services as District Commissioner.
1t has been a short service-only 1S months of
what is normally three-year assignment. But
in his service here he has shown a singular
aptitude in his progressive leadership and magi-
native understanding of some of the serious
problems facing the city. It is unfortunate that
what he has begun so we'll will not have the
personal guidance that would be helpful in
bringing it to successful completion
1t is too early now to forecast the outcome,
In ef1clency and in economy, of the reorganiza-
ton OF the municipal government for which
General Robinson was more responsible than any
other individual. But the important part of this
reorganization plan was its substitution for an
other plan of organization that was favored in
influential quarters, but which would have been
difficult to adapt to the unique conditions of
municipal government in Washington. It was
General Robinson who organized local citizens
behind the existing plan of reorganization which
was finally adopted.
His other great contribution to washington
has been the careful survey of unmet needs
confronting the city, which if permitted to accu-
mulate can seriously impair the future of Wash
ington as the Capital City. He helped to form
the citizens committee which performed an
extraordinary job in its appraisal of need and
method of financing that will produce the public
works program without imposing a crippling
burden of taxation on the community. One un-
fortunate effect of his forthcoming transfer is
that 1t comes in the midst of preparations now
to present the public works program to Congress
and obtain the approval there which is necessary
before it can be carried through. It is true that
success in that quarter rests primarily on the
citizens Of Washington, rather than the Engineer
Commissioner. But one of General Robinson's
great assets has been his gift for leadership, and
his ability to inspire voluntary effort by able men
in behalf of the community.
Washington has been the beneficiary of the
assignment to duty here of outstanding officers
of the Corps of Engineers. In fact, the Corps of
Engineers, through the Engineer Commissioners
and other engineer officers assigned to specific
projects in this area, has been a conspicuous
force in the physical development of the Capital
through the past century. General Robinson has
offered fine example of the contributions of
the Corps of Engineers in this respect. He will
carry with him the best wishes of Washing
tonians wherever he goes

On Judqinq Art

John c. Rogers letter of November II
titled "Fiasco in Art" is a statement of
fact. 1t is high time the American pub
lie became aware of what is happening
in local and national art. If they knew.
they would throw the rascals out. In
many cities, art juries are slanted
toward Communists and decadents who
are sent down from New York City and
who are deliberately preventing the
works of local talent. who do not believe
in their type of modernism, from being
seen or heard.
This racket must be broken up if de-
mocracy is to survive in American art.
The gang of Reds, fakirs and cynics in
New York call the tune. They are backed
up by many critics and art dealers who
have made fortunes writing incompre-
hensible bunk about Red and corrup-
zionist artists" whose work is not worth
the canvas and paint it took to put it

Truce Outlook

Now that Soviet Foreign Minister Vishinsky,
with his customary virulence, has fatty rejected
1t, India's prisoner war proposal seems to have
promoted little more than Anglo-American fric-
ton. Certainly, although modified version of
1t may yet be adopted by the United Nations
General Assembly, it holds out virtually no hope
OF bringing about an early break in the Korean
truce deadlock.
AS for the friction between our own country
and Britain. it apparently has passed. and there
Is good reason to doubt that it would ever have
been allowed to develop into genuinely serious
split. Our American position all along has been
the same the British in agreeing with the
principles and objectives Of the Indian proposal.
The differences have revolved around our in
sistence-as set forth by Secretary Acheson and
others-on notifications designed to make the
proposals language more specific and to emi-
nate certain obvious weaknesses particularly in
order to insure against the indefinite captivity
of prisoners refusing to be repatriated to Com
munist territory.
The American-proposed changes have so
much to be said for them that they may be
adopted, with India concurring. However, as far
as the truce deadlock is concerned, the whole
undertaking and its attendant controversy have
ceased to have much meaning. For the Kremlin,
through the ViShinSky statement, has made clear
that it will not accept the Indian plan in either
modified or unmodified form. And that means,
In turn, that the North Korean and Chinese
Communists can be counted on to reject 1t, too.
AS for the Republic of South Korea in the south,
1t has just been at pains to announce that it will
not agree to any arrangement that may be worked
out without its official and full participation
with the unrestricted voice sovereign nations
usually exercise in similar matters of exclusive
concern to themselves"
Tins evervthino copsidered priroe M;pictar
Nehrus earnest and high-minded effort to pro-
mote Korean peace seems to add up now to
merely another example of loves labor lost. The
most that can be hoped for in the circumstances
Is this That If modified proposal is adopted by
the overwhelming majority of the U. N, and if
the Kremlin continues to scorn it, there will be
less confusion and doubt in India and certain
other Asian nations about who is really to blame
for the truce deadlock. To that extent the cur
rent proceedings may result in propaganda
setback for the Soviet Union in that part of the
world, and they may also help to diminish some
of the "neutralist" sentiment that exists there.
AS for the deadlock itself, however, the out
look for breaking it seems as bleak as ever, if not
beaker. Quite obviously the men of the Kremlin
do not really want truce at this time, and they
will continue to block an agreement on one as
long as they find profit in having their Pyong-
yang and Peiping puppets keep on fighting. That
is the sorry sum Of the situation as it stands
today. It lends an air Of very real solemnity
to President-elect Eisenhower's trip to Korea.

Crowded School Solution

AS resident Of Old Southeast. which
has some hopes, dim though they be,
Of becoming another Georgetown, I am
interested in the proposed transfer Of
Bryan or Buchanan School from white
to Negro.
A spokesman for Negro groups argues
that there is a shortage of 152 seats
for Negro pupils in Northeast and South
east schools. So he proposes turning
500 or 600 white pupils out of Bryan
or Buchanan, or both, to make room
for 152 Negroes On the face of it,
such a proposal is utterly devoid of
common sense.
Three white schools were completely
abandoned in Southeast in the not too
distant past. They were Cranch. B. B.
French and Wallach The School Board
has been treating Southeast like an un-
wanted stepchild for too many years.
The logical solution to the problem
of overcrowding in Negro schools in
East Washington is to build a very
large new elementary school for Ne
groes on the grounds of Eliot Junior
the money will come from-the great
increase in Negro population in recent
years has certainly increased District
revenue.

believe division of schools among
white and colored should be done fairly.
And it is not fair when the colored
want more schoolroom space than they
need.
There are 246 more white families
than colored in the Buchanan School
area in Southeast. And the enlarged
Payne School provides the needed space
for colored. Yet the colored are fight
ing to take over Buchanan and have
carried their case to the Board of
Education.
If the board grants the colored wish,
it will mean that white pupils will have
to walk 10 to 18 blocks to another school.

Lie q la Ballet

Like everything else in the Soviet Union,
the ballet-once supremey lovely expression
OF Russian culture-has been harnessed to
MoscoW's gigantic lie machine. At the moment,
at the Shevchenko Theater in Kev, the ideologi-
cal choreographerS are presenting q version of
1t entitled Under Italian Skies" AS told in the
dances and pantomime, 1t is story of trans
oceanic gangSters" from the United States
American military authorities who take over a
small port in Italy, bring in tanks and planes,
terrorize the towns population and cold blood
edly shoot down demonstrators for peace"
The climax of this monstrous lie la ballet
comes when aroused dock workers, fishermen,
students and other good people-after tossing
the war equipment into the sea-espy one of
the Kremlin's ships putting into the harbor.
The ship, of course, is laden with food for the
famished citizenry, and the mere sight of it
naturally impels all hands on stage to give out
with a thunderous cheer and with touching
lyrics singing the praises of the great the kind
hearted, the wondrously beneficent Stalin-by
far the gentlest and best Of men, and the worlds
only true genius.
Here is something that speaks for ITSELF The
Russian ballet has been debased to point where
1t must prance around in a vilely naked burlesque
of its past loveliness-the miserable wreckage of
an art that has been converted by the Kremlin,
along with all other forms Of expression behind
the Iron Curtain, into an instrument of hate
America propaganda The development Is as
pathetic as it is ludicrous More important STILL
it constitutes another instructive measure of
the criminal nature Of our enemy and of the
psychopathic thoroughness Of his effort to stir
up bitter hostility against us everywhere.

Mr.. SummerfieId's Reward

PreSident-elect Eisenhower has followed a
well-established political custom in naming
Arthur E. Summerfeld to be Postmaster General.
In recent times, under both Republicans and
Democrats, the office has been reserved as a
fitting reward for the chairman of the national
committee of the victor party. Jesse M. Donald
son-the present incumbent a career man who
began as a letter CARRIERS a noteworthy excep-
ton, but the exception merely proves the rule
Although he has been head of the Republican
committee only since last July, Mr.. Summerfield
has labored long, hard and successfully for his
party. businessman of large stature in Michi-
gan Che is one of the countrys biggest automobile
dealers) he first entered the political vineyards
in 1910 when he volunteered his services to
Wendell Wilkie. Thereafter he became increas-
ingly active, particularly in working out sound
financial plan for the State G. o. P, and by
1944-when he did his best for Governor Dewey
his influence was felt in the partys national
councils.
In 1948, still laboring in the vineyards, Mr..
Summerfeld though maintaining strong liking
for Mr.. Dewey, undertook personal campaign
to promote Senator Vandenberg for the presi-
Dental nomination, but Michigan's favorite son
refused to cooperate with him. After that, step
by step, he moved up in the party organization
until 1949, when he became executive chairman
Of the Republican National Strategy Committee
In that post which he resigned in some bitterness
about a year later, he clashed with the Taft
element in policy disagreements that presumably
led him to make up his mind in favor of General
Eisenhower.
An attractive personality Mr.. Summerheld
at So has the well-earned reputation of being
kind of dynamo equipped with outstanding
organizing ability. In his political work, including
that carried on before his service to General
Eisenhower, he has travelled hundreds of thou
sands of miles from coast to coast. He has done
a good job for his party in all parts of the
country. Whoever succeeds him as national
chairman will have big shoes to FILL

Hiss Deserves No Leniency

The unanimous decision of the Federal
Parole Board against granting parole to Alger
Hiss emphasizes a fact not always understood
that parole is not matter of right. 1t is form
of official lenency which may be granted to
prisoners who merit such leniency in the opinion
of those charged with discretion in granting
parole. Several criteria are used on which to
base such decision. One is whether the grant
of parole would create popular resentment
against the prisoner making it difficult for him
Evening star., 1952-11-26

to return to his home and take up a normal
existence. One is the prisoners own attitude
toward the offense for which he was sentenced.
Hiss was convicted of lying when he denied
that he had given State Department secrets
to Communist espionage ring. Nothing has
developed since his conviction to justify his
release. His penalty is light enough, when the
enormity of the crime behind Hiss perjury is
taken into account.
