and manifest needs of our national
security"
One final comment seems pertinent
to Columnist Lawrence's reporting of
this issue. In contrast to the sympathy
he sought to elicit for industrys alleged
price-profit plight. he has on the other
hand been hypercritical of the equity
involved and/or the patriotic motivation
of workers who refrain from production
until their price is forthcoming. This
type of double-standard evaluation is
obviously unfair and undesirable.
On this point Representative McKin-
non of the Joint Economic Committee,
referring to the machine-to showdown,
asked Mr.. Wilson: "You mean the man
ufacturers also were on strike, the same
as labor sometimes goes on striker" Mr..
Wilson: well to that extent. that is
right" Representative McKinnon: so
often we read in the papers where labor
is always to blame for the slow-up of
our armament program, and I just could
not let that 60 by, Mr.. Wilson, by stat
ing that labor is not the only one that
sometimes wants money" Mr.. Wilson:
Il think anybody who thinks they are
the only ones is not very factual."

An Act of Fairness

Fairfax County has shown commendable
spirit OF fair play in appropriating $4,000 grants
to Arlington and Alexandria Hospitals. Having
no hospital facilities Of their own, the countys
residents have relied on the two nearby insti-
tutions for hospital treatment. It has been
estimated that about 40 per cent of the persons
cared for at the two overloaded hospitals have
been from Fairfax County. Many Of them have
been unable to pay for treatment. Arlington
Hospital alone has reported that services worth
$4,000 are represented in unpaid bills Of Fairfax
citizens. Some Of this viii be collected eventu-
ally, but much of it viii have to be charged
of as aid to indigents.
The Fairfax County supervisors by their
action, have recognized that the county is in
debted to the Arlington and Alexandria Hos
pitals for their willingness to administer to the
needs Of Fairfax residents Until such time
as the county has hospital within its borders
facility for which there Is an increasing need
Fairfax should see that the nearby hospitals
do not suffer losses through caring for its indi-
gent patients.

There are many ways in which the "Couriers

Joint Action on Mutual Problems

1t has taken long time to get things
moving, but it is nonetheless gratifying that
there has been definite action to bring about
better teamwork among the diverse political
subdivisions of the Washington Metropolitan
Area. A long step toward the goal of co-ordi-
mated, orderly development of the whole region
was taken when representatives Of all govern
ing bodies in the area agreed to form regional
council. This voluntary association of public
officials well may lead to some sort of statutory
joint action in certain felds-public- utility con-
troll, for example.
The spirit of cooperation which marked
the luncheon meeting last Thursday was in re-
freShing contrast to the every-community- for
itself attitude which has been all too evident
in years past. The era when isolated action
was logical faded into limbo with the phe-
nomenal population growth of Washington and
It's suburbs. Yet old ideas have persisted up to
the present In all but few fields of govern
mental activity. An interstate compact has
brought regional control of pollution in the
Potomac Valley Planning agencies have worked
together on highway and park problems There
has been some consultation among public utility
agencies. Loose arrangements for police and
fire protection reciprocity have been in effect.
But, except for the interstate compact COW
ering the Potomac River Basin, there has been
no blndlng agreement for integrated action in
any governmental field. AS result there have
been conflict and confusion from time to time
when joint action and understanding of mutual
problems would have prof1ted everybody. Com
missioner Donohue's proposal for an INTERRUPTS
dictional council represents sensible effort
toward mutual consideration and solution of such
difficulties. Such a council would be particu-
larly helpful in crystallizing public sentiment
for the much-discussed proposals for regional
planning and regulatory agencies. A bill to
create Regional Planning Council as an over
all co-ordinating body already has been drafted
by the National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. The suggestion for an area-wide public
utility control agency still is in the discussion
stage.
Consideration of this and other plans for
integrating action by the separate authorities
in Greater Washington should be given high
priority on the agenda of the new council. For
while a voluntary association of the council type
Is valuable, there are public utility and other
problems which call for Joint legal study and
decision. It will take more than an unofficial
council, for example, to bring interstate taxicab
fares and services under control. That there is
no such control now is but one absurdity of the
present patchwork governmental setup in the
Metropolitan Area.

Police Officer With q Heart

Captain Rhoda Milliken head of the
Women's Bureau of the Police Department, will
carry with her into well-earned retirement more
than the concentrations of her superiors and
OF the public for q job well done. OF more real
satisfaction to her, undoubtedly, will be the
gratitude which countless of her one-time
"clients" have expressed for her extra-ofncial
aid and counsel when they were in trouble.
Captain Milliken was a woman cop with
heart Thirty-three years of service with the
Police Department, during which she had dealt
with wide variety of women and children who
had become entangled with the law never
hardened her official mien or dulled her
interest in people. During those years she pre-
ferred not to wear a uniform or a badge or
otherwise to flaunt her authority before those
manded respect not only from her subordinates
and associates but from those who found them
selves in her custody-from wayward girl to
veteran shoplifter.
Her special concern was not the "toughies"
on whom she wasted no sympathies, but the
female first offenders, the alcoholics and the
children who were victims of broken homes
Toward these she acted more like sister or
foster mother than a veteran police officer
sworn to enforce the letter of the law She
felt it part her duty to take an active part
in organizations devoted to reducing juvenile
delinquency and improving Social-welfare con-
ditions generally. Her impending departure
from the Police Department and from her native
Washington will be distinct loss to the whole
community.

THAT Owen baltimore found life
- "lots Of fun-in the pre-McC Carthy
days" is evident in the grim humor he
displayed In swapping pungent phrases
at the Senate Internal Security SUBJ
committee.
Whatever may be said Of the professor
and he has been subjected to plenty Of
penetrating queries by Senators McCar-
ran, Ferguson. O'Conor. Watkins and
Jenner-even his severest critics some
times cry "touche" at his barbs.
The Johns Hopkins University expert
on Far Eastern affairs does not use all of
his ammunition on Senator Mccarthy,
Wisconsin, Republican. who accused him
OF being Russia's top spy in this country.
He has limited himself to describing
Senator Mccarthy as the wisconsin

burner"
In its efforts to learn whether MIR.
baltimore influenced United States
foreign policy and was friendly to Com

early in the hearings that he was not

them.

Budenz. II did not intend to convey the
impression that he was an Eagle Scout"
Mr.. baltimore said.
He condemned Harold E. Stassen
with faint denunciation by absolving
the perpetual candidate for President"

but calling him "too slippery" to be

Opening Relief Rolls
Wlfred Lumer.

Your editorial February 81 on pub
licizing relief rolls must be the fourth
or fifth on this subject in as many
weeks. This is, of course, The Stars
privilege, but surely responsible journal
like yours should not be guilty Of ar
guments that are classroom examples
Of logical fallacy.
Two main arguments are usually ad-
vanced against making relief rolls pub
lie: It subjects individuals to needless
humiliation as recipients Of public
charity; and it will not deter chiSelers.
Humiliation" says The Star in effect.
"Nonsense!" Experience in Illinois and
Indiana indicates that only a handful
Of people come to inspect the records.
Come now, sir. you can't have it both
ways. If only handful Of people look
into relief records, why should chiselers
be deferred by such a small hazard?
You report that relief rolls have
dropped slightly in Indiana and Illinois
since publicity was authorized, but you
offer no proof that publicity had any
thing to do with it. Post hoe, propter
hoe seems to be your line Of reasoning.
Relief rolls have been dropping all over
the country, which consists mainly OF
the As States which do not open relief
rolls to the public. Basic reasons for
this drop are twofold: CD The COM
ing into play of the 1850 amendments
to the old-age and survivors insurance
title Of the Social Security Act. SO that
more people are covered and larger
benefits do not require such heavy sup
fermentation from public assistance
funds; and CO high employment in
the country as whole.
The first factor will continue to op-
crate. But in at least % industrial areas
where unemployment is about double
the national average, relief rolls will
probably increase. hope that wou will
not then assert that the increase would

Muchine-TooI 'BottIeneck'

In keeping with The Stars consist
emily high standards of objectivity and
factual reporting, I am sure you will
want to supplement Columnist David
Lawrence's March presentation of the
facts about the machine-tool bottle
neck"
Charles E. Wilson, Director Of Defense
Mobilization, testified on January 26 be-
fore the Joint Congressional Committee
on the Presidents Economic Report as
follows:
II think there were delays in getting
some Of the new type machine tools
under way for great variety Of rea-
sons !. '. . think we have a certain
amount of responsibility for it. but
among the reasons there were also the
difficulties Of getting the contractors of
some Of these new weapons TO decide
what types of machine tools they really
ought to have, and then to get the mill
tary to give them the go-ahead on buy
ing the machine tools; and then we
woke up to the fact that the machine
tool builders were not going to go ahead
on the basis of the vastly increased
production that we were demanding,
because they did not like the price sit
uation and we had to get into that and
fix them up with prices that were as
much as 80, 40 per cent higher"
Thus, contrary to Mr.. Lawrence's ac-
count. price was not the exclusive cause
of delay. For, as Mr.. Wilson testified,
the delays related to design and procure
ment authorization were not eliminated
overnight"
Regarding the attitude adopted by the
industry on the price issue. it should
be noted that their position has not
been accepted so uncritically by the Sen
ate Preparedness Subcommittee. For
example, in its Interim Report on De-
tense Mobilization" dated November %,
1851, the committee considered the price
allegation and stated:
ut appears that machine-to con-
tractors were unwilling to expand their
facilities unless they were provided with
larger profit percentage.

incentive in, our American economy. In

The Courier

Another measure of the Kremlin's blghting
effect on human society is the fact that the
United States has now put into operation a
little ship whose sole function will be to sail
the seas as a rowing radio station designed to
penetrate the Iron Curtain with at least modi-
cum Of light and truth. That such a vessel
should have to exist in this super modern age
an age of instantaneous communication-con-
stitutes in itself a damning indictment of the
system that has forced it into being.
That system-the Soviet system-has within
its ruthless grip hundreds of millions of people.
These people, the people of Russia and all the
satellite lands, have been completely cut off
from the rest of the world Regimented op-
pressed, rigidly barred from outside information,
terrorized by the secret police and in general
forced to accept the most miserable kind Of
material and spiritual living conditions, they
have been subjected at the same time to
never ending barrage of monStrous propaganda.
The propaganda, on which the Kremlin and its
puppet tyrannies have been spending vast sums,
is made up almost exclusively of gigantic false
hoods calculated to destroy the meaning of
meaning, turn reality upside down. create an i'm
penetrable wall of misunderstanding, and brew
a great boiling broth of fear and hatred against
the free nations particularly the United States.
To cope with this systematic effort to
obstruct peace and poison the life of the world,
the free nations have been striving, with such
programs as the Voice of America, to cut through
the miaSma of lies and broadcast the truth to
the masses behind the Iron Curtain. But the
truth has had hard time getting in against
the Soviet "jamming" technique that has been
filling the airwaves night and day, with elec-
tronic shrieks and howls. That is why our coun-
try has developed the new seagoing radio sta
ton. The Ship-a Coast Guard cutter aptly
named "Courier"-is equipped with transmitting
facilities powerful and mobile enough to prom
ise lot Of headaches for the hammers" Ger
tainly, as the President has said in putting the
vessel into service, it promises to be highly
effective in helping to get our message through
to the oppressed over the heads Of the oppressors
The message, as MIR. Truman has summed
1t up, is a simple one. 1t is that our country is
eager to cooperate, like good neighbor, with
all countries; that we are the friends Of the
people of Russia, China and the other lands
"whose rulers are now assailing u.s.; that there
are no differences between us that cannot be
amicably settled If those rulers will turn from
their senseless policy of hate and terror; that
we and our Allies are arming to defend our
selves only because the aggression Of the Krem-
lin and its .puppet regimes has forced us to do
