PAA Super-6 Clippers
To Fly New York
Buenos Aires Route

The Douglas Superb Clip
per, most modern aircraft in
Pan American World Air
ways fleet, is being placed in
service between New York
and Buenos Aires January |.
Port of Spain, Trinidad,
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and
Montevideo, Uruguay, are the
only other cities served en-
route on the 6,165-mile flight.
The Super-6s will replace
B oeing "Strato" Clippers,
which are being transferred to
transatlantic and trans-Paci-
fic routes.
Latest and greatest in the
long line Of Douglas aircraft,
the Superb has a 56-passenger
seating arrangement, includ-
ing five berths, for the first
class i~nter-hemisphere flights.
The 325-mile-an-hour S K u

Old Stone Windmill
Towers Serve MdnY
Uses in ST. Croix

Once a symbol of prosperous
sugar plantations, t h e old
stone Windmills that c a p
many of the rolling hills Of
st. Creix in the US. Virgin Is
lands today serve in such far
removed roles as summer
homes and water reservoirs.
Back in the days of Danish
rule-before the advent Of the
steam engine-these sturdy
windmills provided the power
for grinding sugar cane, the
islands money-making crop,
according to a release issued
by Pan American World Air
ways, Inc.
M 0 S t of the cleaning
beaches edging St. Croix are
privately owned but, since
tourists get the treatment of
personal guests, swimming or
summing under ideal conditions
never are a problem,
st. Croix is an agricultural
island, and clucking hens and
strutting ROSTERS are a COM
mon sight, even in the public
squares Of the two towns
Christiansted on the north
coast and Frederiksted on the
western tip.
The islands capital, Chris
tiansted, also is its commercial
center. But the city, with it's
peaked red roofs, arched door
ways, arcaded walks and cob
blestone streets, bears a much
closer resemblance to a tran
quill, rustic village.
Small hotels, clubs a n d
guest houses make up the ac-
commodations in st. Croix,
providing visitors with a maxi
mum Of comfort without any
of the attendant furry found
in some Caribbean resorts.

youngsters would tear them up
And, having been professional mu-
sician all my life, I was interested in
what you said, a couple of evenings

the lack of melodies-really lack Of in
spiration-in so many Of the modern
composers.

generations that are coming on will get
their ears attuned to them, even as we
have come to love much Of Debussy and
some of Stravinsky and Schenberg.

Bury 1t for Good

The rider to ban accumulation of leave by
Federal employees has received from the Senate
the rough treatment that it deserved to get The
Senate knocked the rider off the Independent
Offices appropriation bill with one firm stroke.
It's final death would be victory for orderly
law making
The fate of the rider now rests with the
Senate and House conferees on the bill. The
House tackled the rider onto the appropriation
measure in misguided economy gesture. But
if the House conferees study the objections made
to the rider they will find that the proviso COM
pletely reverses policy adopted by Congress last
year, that it would be unfair to employees in Of
fices where the work load does not permit vaca-
tions this summer, and that its passage would,
in effect be a slap to the Civil Service Commit
tees which are charged with considering such
legislation.
When Congress revised the leave program
for Federal employees, shortening vacations for
most workers, 1t was agreed that the right to
accumulate leave would not be interfered with.
Congress should not break faith with Govern
nent employees on this matter In any event, no
drastic reversal Of policy affecting Federal en-
ployes should be undertaken without adequate
study by committees familiar with civil service
problems.

This and That

That great musician Stravinsky has
q world Of tunes in him.
Right in the middle of "Petroushka"
there is one of the finest hurdy- -gurdy
music.
The ballet mentioned above would fool
any one, because Stravinsky was con-
sciouSly initiating others to please the
one for whom he was writing.
The point is that he was unable to do
anything but q good job. as every good
musician and composer must.
Changing tastes in music offer one
Of its best incentives to the young.
Music is always theirs.
In other words, music is peculiarly
the language of the young.
It speaks the old tongue, but always
in new way.
Aviaturs in Bates famous story, Colo
mel Julian" now in book form, speak
words the old soldier did not under
stand at all.
A touching tale, for new age.
Music is much the same way. It is
old. but forever new. As our correspond
ent points out, Debussy was once high
hat" But all one has to do Is listen.
A real composer sees to that.
What is missing from the fakes, how
ever. Is the seeing" They cannot put
In their sounds what they do not have.

Teachers Tenure Law

Your recent editorial attacking the
proposed teachers tenure law for
Washington Is based on erroneous as
sumptions and not on facts.
Actually. there Is no well-defined,
basic tenure law for our school employees.
There was an implied reference to
tenure In the organic law Of 1905 which
asserted the right of trial for employees
who may be accused. Some leaders in
Congress are not satisfied that even
} these few lines were retained when q
few years ago much Of the basic law
was repealed. and only certain sections
were expressly retained. But assuming
these few lines pertaining to tenure were
retained, these lines would now consti-
tute the basic tenure law. No grounds
for dismissal are set forth in this
statute. Yet, in keeping with sound
principles of law, the administrative
body for the schools. the Board Of Edu-
cation, has under this law, with no
grounds expressly set forth, promulgated
the rules to which you refer. There is
no question whether the Board of Edu-
cation has the right to promulgate rules
through which to interpret and imple-
ment the law. OF course it has that
right; it has that duty. Hence, under
whatever law there may be. be it the
tenure clause Of the law Of 1906. or the
Johnston bill, if it were enacted. the
Board of Education would adopt rules to
implement the law.
Actually, the grounds for dismissal
would be neither enlarged nor reduced
if the Johnston proposed tenure law
were passed-unless the board adopted
rules broader or narrower than those
now in force. Under your implied Sug-
gestion, every time rule were changed
the law would have to be changed.
Would this be wise or sound?

Secretary, Washington Central Labor
Union.

BY Charles E. TroceweN

Maybe it is the same with parks.
Probably Dupont Circle no longer
looks right because we cannot find its
tune any longer.
Yet, how beautiful it was in the old
days!
The ideas of beauty, in such things,
were different, too.
Now we have new ideas, and 1t is
problematical whether we shall ever like
them as much.
Going along past Franklin Park the
other day, we noted that at least half
Of the space has been taken up with
heavy evergreens.
Many scores Of persons, apartment
bound, could find rest and fresh air in
that space.
Mans inhumanity to man goes as
far as depriving him Of q chance to
get sun tan.
Who are the parks for except the
people who use them?
Just to have something pretty to look
at when passing by is not enough.
The integrated park system must be
based not only on overall appearance,
but also on proper usage.
No doubt today's children are missing
more than they know, not only In parks
but in music and in literature, unless
they find 1t for themselves, as many Of
them do. It u the hope Of the race.

The California Voters Speak

California, with a powerful bloc of delegates
to each of the national conventions made some
clear-cut choices in its primary on Tuesday
One Of these expressions was another i'm
preSSive victory for Tennessee's Senator Kefauver
the front runner among the Democratic presi-
dental hopefuls. Bucking the party's State or
ganization, as he has done successfully in sew
eral other tests, the Tennessean picked up 68
more convention votes in the so-called Golden
State. To accomplish this, the Senator more
than doubled the public vote given the opposition
slate headed by State Attorney General Brown
The Brown ticket, set up originally as part of
Truman band wagon that was immoblized by the
Presidents decision not to run, had since taken
on "free choice" aspect calculated to make it
available and in good bargaining position when
and II the party'S national leadership settles on
its choice. It was freedom" which seemingly
did not appeal to the California Democratic
voters.
Combined with previous victories, and an
equally easy pickup Of eight South Dakota del
gates also on Tuesday, the Tennessee Senator
now estimates that he will enter the convention
with more than 800 committed votes. The re-
naming margin needed for nomination may not
be as easy to obtain but today no other Democrat
is within shooting distance.
Appraisal of Senator Kefauver's California
victory may be coupled logically with that Of
Republican Senator Knowland running for NOM
ination on both Republican and Democratic
tickets. Opposed by Democratic Representative
McKinnon, pro-Truman Fair Dealer, on both
states, the Senator showed under his rival on the
Republican ticket and gave him handy trounc-
ing on the Democratic ballot. California evil
IDENTIFY wants no more of Mr.. Truman's political
leadership
At the same time Governor Warren did
equally well in the Republican presidential pri-
mary by overwhelming pro-Taft ticket. With
10 convention votes thus placed securely in his
hands, the California Governor-who has been
considered sympathetic to the Eisenhower can
ddacy--is in good position to be very helpful to
the general, or to be well fixed strategically to
emerge as compromise choice in event the Taft
and Eisenhower forces get into hopeless dead
lock. Keynoter at the last Republican convention
and the vice presidential choice of his party in
1948, the Governor has demonstrated an es-
tablished political power in California and the
capacity for national appeal. His spot in today's
picture is a good one, and Californias voice in
the two conventions Is sure to be heard.

The Koie Affair

The Koje Affair
Now that Gems. Dodd and Colson
have been punished. we may hope that
the Communists who committed the
original crime will be treated to a little
punishment, too. So far they haven't.
Gen. Boatner lays it on the line:
Prisoners don't negotiate" Then he
promptly proceeds to receive represen-
tation of the Red prisoners, and if it isn't
to negotiate, it certainly entities the
Reds to say it was, anyway.
This is the first time in history that
a military action has been fought by
war prisoners, and so far fought sue
cessfully. The basic principle of all
warfare has been abandoned, and no.
body notices 1.-THE principle that in
war the decisions must be made on
the field of battle. And the longer the
principle remains suspended. the longer
and bloodier the inevitable conflict is
going to be.
Charles b. Mcdonald.
Hollywood, Fla.
The real tragedy Of Koje, 1t seems to
me. Is not the fiasco of Colson and
Dodd. although that was bad enough.
But whose bright idea was it to keep
packing in the die-hard PWs until
their numbers reached unmanageable
proportions? don't see how Gems.
Van Fleet and Ridgway can shrug of
the ultimate responsibility.

do believe that the main obstacle to
peaceful settlement of the prisoner
problem on Koje is primarily lang
uage problem. So I would like to sug-
geSt that the guarding Of the prisoners
be turned over to the 1st Marine Divi-
sion. The Marines speak q Language
that the Communists have no trouble
understanding. Don't anyone misinter-
pet this; the Marines are not cruel or
tyrannical. But assure you, if the
Marines take over, the Communists will
outdo themselves and become model
prisoners Koje will no longer be in
the headlines. There will be no more
foolishness.
The Marines could do with q rest;
they have been In Korea since shortly
after the conflict started. They are
probably the oldest outfit in Korea
at present. Let's get them relieved!
