The right Of constituted authority to

Of dire emergency, when the common

Who in his right mind would deny
the right Of policeman to commander

Who is not familiar with instances

Recalls Potsdum Poet

Constantine Browns May 20 article.
Reds Cannot Create New Korea" gives
a highly erroneous impression of terri
torial changes which took place in Cen
trail Europe after World War II.
Being very far from feeling sympa-
thetic toward the present Warsaw pup
pet regime, I must. however, admit that
Poland did not "annex" East Prussia
and Silesia-only took possession in &C
cordance with the Potsdam agreement,
which was signed by the United States.
I am certain that it is a mere over
sight on the part Of Mr.. Brown who,
don't doubt for moment, would never
accuse his own country of taking part
in any act Of annexation"

ReqionuI Traffic Problems

It has become evident that traffic problems
of Washington and its suburbs are so interrelated
that joint action to solve them is essential.
Harassed motorists Of the Metropolitan Area
should welcome, therefore, the progress being
made toward co-ordinated planning and con-
struction Of new highway facilities in the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia. Latest indication
of this constructive movement is to be seen in
the report Of the Traffic Congestion Committee
of new regional organization, the Commission
ers' and Governors Conference on Metropolitan
Area Traffic Problems.
The committee did not have to look far
for the reasons behind our present-day traffic
troubles in the area. Most of the streets inside
and adjacent to the District were laid out 80
years ago or earlier. They were designed to
handle traffic loads less than half those which
are imposed on them today AS the loads in
creased, patchwork improvements have been
made to the system to relieve bottlenecks and
facilitate the flow of cars. For the most part
the planning and building of roads has been
done on jurisdictional basis, with little atten-
ton to what other nearby communities were do
ing or to the future requirements Of the region
as whole
The congestion committee believes that the
Federal Government should create a special
agency to concern itself with the vital interest
of Federal departments in adequate highway
facilities in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
It correctly assumes that the orderly functioning
of the Government is dependent on rapid trans
portation to and from all parts of the area both
by means Of private cars and public carriers.
The Federal interest, the committee says, re-
quires that it aid in the financing of main thor
oughfares.
On the non-Federal levels there should be
q traffic advisory board and traffic engineer
in each jurisdiction, the committee asserts. OF
particular interest to Maryland is the recon-
mendation that all jurisdictions maintain COM
pulsory systems of automobile inspection. Mary
land alone is without such system today.
These and other suggestions for relieving
congestion will be discussed at the forthcoming
regional conference Of traffic and transportation
authorities Of the District, Alexandria, Falls
Church and the Virginia and Maryland counties
surrounding Washington. This viii be the first
conference Of its kind and, as such, it will mark
a milestone in Metropolitan Area traffic CO.

Raw Deal in Texas

Democratic Party dominance In the South
way of political life in that section over most
of the past 80 years, threatens to have distortng
effect on the coming Republican National Con-
Vention.
Perennially the underdog in its home area
the Republican Party in the South has not often
enjoyed good health in an ordinary political
sense. In its also-ran role, with local patronage
almost non-existent, it has offered little induce
ment to younger people as they came of political
age result has been the entrenchment of
small groups running skeletonlike State organi-
cations. Each four years these organizations
represent power far out of proportion to their
public backing as they exert their influence If
not complete control over their delegates at the
partys national convention. The story is being
repeated this year and the closeness of the
Taft-Eisenhower race gives to these Southern
delegations an Importance that distorts more
than usually their representation of public
sentiment
The situation in Texas, where the party is
holding its State convention today points up the
problem. Thirty-eight votes at the national
convention are at stake. Young Republican
movement in the State has been carrying the
Eisenhower banner in precinct and county
contests and claims public Endorsement for at
least rs pro-Eisenhower delegates. In some
districts it has won overwhelming public in
dorSement. The State Republican Executive
Committee, the Old Guard of the party in Texas
and admittedly pro-Taft, does not dispute the
showing of Eisenhower strength but repudiates
1t as "subversive movement initiated by Re
publicans for day only" It seems likely now
that the question of who will finally represent the
Lone Star State viii be settled at Chicago itself,
where Taft partiSans are generally credited with
control Of the Credentials Committee.
Comparable situations have developed In
Southern Republican ranks in Georgia, Louisiana
and Alabama. In all cases the onger-estabished
party control is pro-Taft while the younger
element, displaying wider public support and
perhaps promising more toward rejuvenating the
party in the South, is pro-Eisenhower
The circumstance that gives all of this more
than local significance is the fact that Senator
Taft and General Eisenhower are going into the
convention neck and neck Manipulation of the
entrenched State organizations in the South
might provide margin for Taft victory in the
convention. The character Of the pro-Eisen-
hover movements in these States, however. indi-
Gates that the public support they have mustered
for the general would not necessarily carry over
to the Senator in the presidential election If
this should be so, the Republicans would once
again have lost an opportunity to crack the solid
South and perhaps to give their party a real
foothold in that section of the country.

were sold after 1t, but the virtue of the idea had
been proved
Today, the system is privately operated as
contrasted to ment-subsidized operation
during the war. Swiss nationals are trained at
British maritime schools and the fleet now
carries about one-tenth of the country's ocean
trade. 1t may not be navy in the customary
sense. but it takes the Swiss down to the sea

Arlington School PIons

When people repeatedly conduct an
activity they become expert. For ex-
ample, most adults have purchased more
than one automobile, and know exactly
how to procure the automobile that they
want to possess. If the same methods
and standards are applied to other
things. an equally expert result is OBJ
tanned.
Many of the hundreds of people of
Arlington County who. in the past sew
eral months, were subjected to the pSy-
Geological indoctrination conducted by
the Arlington County School Board did
not apply to that presentation the stand
ards and requirements which they would
have used to buy an automobile.
If they had done so they would have
noticed that the Arlington County school
construction program "has no brakes"
Also, though the projection into the fu-
ture Of plan of providing school facili-
ties must consider the total population
involved, and the total number of chill
dren Of Arlington County in all schools,
the Arlington School Board has no
knowledge of how many Arlington chill
dren are in private schools; the total
capacity of private schools serving tie
children of Arlington County; or, of the
private school plans for providing future
facilities.
The Arlington School Boards con-
struction program, "16-cylinder job,"
is based on the theory that no teacher
should have class exceeding 80 pupils.
A "6-cylinder" program of IS pupils per
teacher per classroom, with the teacher
receiving $1,000 per annum pay in
crease. would be more in line with proper
economics, and would probably not re-
quire the construction Of any additional
schools whatsoever.

Tungston Rooms Town
 As Vital Defense Link
AP Newsfeatures


 TUNGSTEN, NC. = Because Chinese Communists control SO much of the worlds supply of tungsten, this little mining town has become a strategic center in the US. defense program. It is one of the few places in the country where the metal has been found.
 The Hamme mine and mill is working to maintain supplies and build up stockpile. Tungsten went into the A-bombs in Wl.ld War II. It will also have a part in the H-bomb if and when it is built. It is used in jet engines, light bulb filaments, radio and radar. Cutting tools and armor- piercing shells also use it.
 The depoSi: here was diScov- cred in 1901. The trouble with mining it is that prices varied so sharply It cost $100 for 20 pounds in World War I, but inn ports from VChina later brought the price down to SIP for 20 pounds.
 Now the US. government has guaranteed a price of S63 for 20 pounds to domestic producers and the Hamme works are booming.
