Why the Delay?

Disclosure at the annual Judicial Conference
Of the District Court that the machinery for
administering the two-year-old Youth Correc-
tionS Act is not yet in operation is disturbing to
say the least. It is hard to understand why the
Department Of Justice has delayed so long the
assignment of personnel and facilities for this
important penal reform.
Wilbur La Roe, jr, long active in the field of
prisoner parole and rehabilitation told the con-
ference that although funds for carrying out
provisions of the Youth Corrections Act are
available, the department has not yet put the
plan into effect The law, passed in 1850, provides
for establishment in the department OF youth
corrections division, to which Federal judges
could refer youths under % who had been con-
with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, was empow-
cred to place the young prisoners where they
would be less susceptible to the influences of
hardened criminals and where rehabilitation
measures could be taken in an effort to make
them useful citizens
The District of Columbia was brought within
the scope Of the national act recently through
an amendment sponsored by Chief Judge Laws
of the District Court and Others The appropria-
tion necessary to administer the District phase
of the program has not yet been voted. However,
the District could not enter into the plan,
anyway, unless the Federal division was func-
tioning The delay in putting the act to work
should be given prompt attention by the new
Attorney General.

Louis BruiIIe Centennial

France has taken advantage of the one
hundredth anniversary of the death of Louis
Braille to place his earthly remains in the Pan
theon in Paris. Such recognition of his services
not merely to the blind but really to all mankind
is proper homage Yet it hardly was needed
His fame is secure, the gratitude of successive
generations Is assured.
Braille himself was blind from his third year
onward. In 1926, when he was II, he decided
to devote himself to the education of the sight
less. Specifically he wished to improve those
systems of printing in raised symbols then avail
able. Perhaps his love of music-and his skilled
knowledge Of its principles helped him to his
goal. In any case, he perfected new alphabet
of sort which bears a certain resemblance to
the printed notes of the traditional scale
His invention left behind the old attempts to
reproduce the letters of the ordinary Latin
alphabet. 1t consists of 63 distinct touch
pictures"-63 different arrangements of embossed
dots.
The blind, quick to respond to tactile routines
caught on" promptly Braille'S system was not
officially recognized until two years after his
death in 1852. Then it was accepted practically
everywhere. Perhaps the greatest collection of
books transcribed in the Braile manner is in
the Library of Congress, but there also are
important Braille libraries in Paris. London and
New York.

Reorganization Setback

Killing by the House Appropriations Com
mittee of 100000 supplemental item for
District reorganization is setback for the reform
program, although not necessarily a fatal blow
The economy minded committee is against per-
sonnet increases as general principle. 1t is
hardly surprising that it baked at granting funds
to be used largely for an added payroll. The
executive officer and other staff for the proposed
Department of Administration, to meet expenses
OF the proposed Citizens Advisory Council and for
similar new phases of the reorganization plan
Engineer Commissioner Robinson says that
these are key parts of the program that should
be given priority and that cannot legally be
financed out of existing appropriations. The
committee members felt, however, that much of
the preliminary reorganization planning could
be done without hiring additional help. They
had been informed by District officials that the
changes were to be carefully planned and made
gradually over the next year or two.
Under the circumstances the Commissioners
apparently will have no alternative but to do
the best they can with the personnel and funds
they now have. The District government has
personnel now who are competent to assist in the
planning and they ought to be utilized to the
fullest extent possible. When this preliminary
work is out of the way, the Commissioners will
have stronger case for whatever money is
needed to carry out special parts of the reorgan-
cation not covered by present appropriations.

Economies on Conoress
Observer.

In MS TRANSPORTATION of the bill to
increase" the pay Of the armed services.
senator Russell Of Georgia has demon
strated that he is economy minded
That is the type Of man needed in Office
today. To hold down the pay of any
one, in any industry, will assuredly mini
mlze the threat of imitation.
It may not yet have occurred to the
good Senator that the cost of the very
Senate itself could easily be cut in half.
To provide one Senator from each
State, instead Of the two as we now
nave. ought to make good beginning
toward reducing cost of Government.
The House, likewise, would be a much
less expensive luxury if we had but one
member where two grow today. Such
smaller legislative groups would not only
be less expensive to maintain. but they
could accomplish more work in less time
than is possible with the Congress as it
exists.
smaller Congress would not only de-
crease the payroll. but it would release
much Office space that could be used for
some other purpose. The cost of the
Congressional Record would be dimin-
1shed. There would be fewer automo-
biles on the streets of Washington.
There would be more houses to rent.
The Post Office would have less franked
mail to handle at a loss. We neighbors
believe that the Inauguration of such
plan (to reduce the cost of Government
at its source) would be of far greater
value to the country than the Inaugural
ton Of Senator Russell as it's President.

Improvement in Indo-Chino

The outlook in Indo-China continues to be
encouraging Under French leadership the Asso-
ciated States of Cambodia, Laos and Wet Nam
have been strengthening themselves not only
politically but militarily as we'll Their own armed
forces, which have been fighting with distinction,
have been growing steadily and significantly
enough so to justify the hope that the time may
be not too distant when they will be able to re-
lieve France of the main burden Of the struggle
to save the country from being dragged behind
the Iron Curtain by Ho Chi Mimi and his Com
muniSt guerrillas.
This markedly improved situation is attribut-
able in large part to the fact that the alliance
between France and the Associated States has
been towering in way that has won widespread
popular support among the Indo- Chinese. In ad-
dition from the military standpoint, the alliance
has gained in fighting power from day to day,
and is still gaining with the help of arms ship

forces have suffered serious reverses during the
past year, and eventually they will be hopelessly
outclassed unless Red China resorts to large
intervention-a possibility that must have re-
ceived serious attention during the recent talks
here between our own officials and Jean Letour-
neau, 1ndo-China's French minister. But the
Peipng regime, with or without advice from the
kremln probably will not be too eager about
making such move. for Korea has demonstrated
that aggression against the free world has ceased
to be either easy or inexpensive.
In any event, regardless of what Peiping may
or may not do, France and the Associated States
are to receive stepped-up aid from the United
States. The precise nature of the aid, which will
be within the limitations set by Congress-" has
not been revealed, but it will be tailored to the
objective of ending the Red threat to Indo-China
the strategic gateway to Southeast Asia. It is an
objective of the topmost Importance, and now
that real progress has been made toward attain
ing it, no effort should be spared to keep the
Communists on the run until they are finally

The DisgrocefuI Steel Case

Dull OIduCIleS OF the congress nave now
joined In request upon the President that he
invoke the Taft-Hartley Act in the steel strike.
Their action is not an order, of course, but it
Is indeed an unusual effort on the part of the
legislative branch to persuade the executive
TO employ the only statutory instrument now
available for use in this emergency. The fact
tnat such an effort is needed at all is not the
least unusual element in situation where vital
Nationwide industry has been shut down for
nearly month, circumstance which the Presi-
dent himself once declared would endanger the
country's security and the lives of American
boys in Korea.
Despite this serious view of the implications
OF steel shutdown Mr.. Truman has done little
or nothing since June 2, when the Supreme Court
stripped away the fiction of his inherent powers"
and declared seizure of the industry illegal, to
restore production. He has instead merely
reafirmed his attitude of disdain for the Taft
Hartley Act, state of mind in which he has
luxurlated for five years past. So prejudicial
has his conduct been in the whole steel case.
and particularly toward employment of the Taft
hartley Act, that union leaders are openly and
without being disputed asserting that he assured
them months ago they need have no fear" of
Taft-Hartley injunction. In fact in remarking
contemptuousy last Sunday that "the Taft
Hartley law does not manufacture STEEL" union
president Philip Murray implied rather clearly
that the workers would not even honor a strike
injunction obtained through statute that is
part of the law of the land This implication.
coincidentaly, fits very neatly into Mr. Truman's
expressed doubts as to whether the steel workers
would respect the law. The next step is to wonder
whether the steelworkers' union has become a
power aboUe the law, or one. which will be pro-
tected by its friend in the White House against
embarrassment of the law.
Meanwhile, as both management and labor
acknowledge that the only real stumbling block
to settlement is the union-shop issue, no steel
is being produced, armament manufacture is
slowing down on broad front and layoffs are
hitting other industries dependent upon steel.
Obviously there will be an end to this disgracefu
situation in due time But whether it will be
at the pleasure of the selfish and political
interests involved, or just possibly out of
mutual recognition Of the national interest. is
not yet clear. However the ending is accom-
plished, the entire incident has been show
piece of inept management-labor relations and
dishonorable Government Intervention. It can
be studied prohtably as case history of how
such problems should not be handled.
