More Than a Parkway

To avoid any misunderstanding, 1t should
be made clear to Congress that the substantial
sum provided in the Federal budget for the@
Washington Baltimore Parkway would buy
something more important than scenic drive
for the pleasure of the motoring public This
partly constructed highway through Maryland,
while qualifying as parkway under the diction-
ary's definition GA broad thoroughfare beauti-
fed with trees and turf."), is badly needed
traffic-relief link between this city and Balti-
more. Moreover, 1t will give military installa-
tions here direct connection with Fort Meade
a fact that has been stressed repeatedly by
defense authorities Hence, the highway would
contribute to traffic safety and national safety.
Begun during World War II, the parkway
project is a Joint undertaking Of Maryland and
the Federal Government, with the District aiding
only In the building of approaches this side OF
tie District line. Maryland has carried out its
part Of the bargain, having completed the high
wav as far as Friendship Airport, near Fort
Meade The Federal part of the road was graded
during the war but the work stopped when
hostilities ended. The rehabilitation program
brought renewed interest In the parkway on the
paft of military agencies, with the result that
work was resumed last year. The President has
asked for an additional appropriation OF
$6750OOO with which to complete the grading,
build bridges and grade-Separat1on structures
and begin the paving of the dual-lane parkway.
Related to the Federal request are District nigh
way items totaling more than 81 million. One
local request is for $7O50 600 to extend New York
avenue east of Bladensburg road and another is
for 100000 to buy land along Kenilworth avenue
Northeast These projects, with some paving irn-
movements on South Dakota avenue east OF
Bladensburg road, will tie the parkway into
VIC el,ix,0tnYss street system
All of this money is an investment in
parkway that will relieve dangerous congestion
on the Baltimore pike, that win be potentially
useful for civil defense and military purposes
ia an emergency and that eventually may become
part Of bypass around Washington for north
south traflc via U. S. Route |. The investment
is well worth It's cost.

The Right to Check on SPENDING

Ine split which has developed among the
District Commissioners over the issue of conf
dentiaity of relief rolls is indicative of the wide
divergence of public opinion generally on this
subject Some Of the opposition to so-called
relief publicity undoubtedly arises from a mis-
\ Interpretation of what advocates of the plan
mean by publicity letter to The Star, pub
lished elsewhere on this page, contains an exam
pie of this misinterpretation. It also overlooks
an important principle bearing on the publicity
queStion-the right of the people to know how
their tax dollars are being spent
Chairman Schiff of the District Chapter of
the American Association of Social Workers
says in his letter that The STAR in supporting
open relief rolls, "aligns itself with those who
would expose the poverty of our needy citizens
the aged, the blind, our dependent children
and the disabled" The Star does not desire to
expose any citizens poverty. If public assist
ance records are made available to the press,
The Star does not intend to publish the lists
of names But The Star does believe that or
ganizations or individuals, including representa-
tiveS of the press, should not be barred from
inspecting the rolls in search of suspected
chiselers. OF course, as Virginia's Governor
Battle recently pointed out in urging the Gen.
eral Assembly to open the States welfare lists,
there should be restrictions on the right of
access, to safeguard against commercial, po-
litical or other improper exploitation of relief
recipients.
Mr.. Schif correctly states that The Star
is strong champion of rights of the individual.
Among the rights which many social workers
seem to have forgotten but which The Star
regards as extremely important in democracy
is the one mentioned in the opening paragraph.
A great deal of money is spent here annually
on public assistance, yet the public which pays
the bill is prevented from checking on where
the money goes Welfare is the only depart
ment of local government where this secrecy
curtain exists. Mr.. Schiff says there was no
appreciable decline in relief rolls in Minnesota
and Indiana after they were opened to the pub
lie, and concludes that publicity is not deter
rent to chiseling. The conclusion also could be
drawn from the same facts that public nspec-
ton did not frighten any needy citizens into
withdrawing from the program. " A4
Whether the threat of publicity would deter
chiselers not, the right of the public to protect
itself from relief frauds remains paramount It
cannot be sure of protection under the present
policy of keeping the records under lock and key.

Thrift
By Bruce Borton

! have lived in New York City more
than 40 years and have had chance to
watch the careers of many young men.
I have seen surprising successes and dis
tressing failures.
One impressive fact is that some men:
can and do save money. no matter how
small their salaries or how difficult their
business or domestic problems. But
there are other men who often seem
more favored and yet are in financial
difficulties all the time.
Thrift is not q natural habit. Nature
is prodigal, and so is man. When boy
sets out to be thrifty, he Is undertaking
to do something hard. But there is no
good habit whose results are more cer-
tain to be rewarded. In practically every
human career there comes at least one
moment Of opportunity when . few doll
lars will open the door to greater sue
cess. Nobody can predict when these
opportunities will arise. and the thrift
less people, who are chronically broke.
are apt to be critical when they see what
looks like pure good fortune camping on
another's doorstep. what has he got"
they ask, that haven't got?"
In many cases the answer is, Hes
got some dollars in the bank, as result
Of self discipline and rigid self-denial.
Today we Americans have lots Of dol-
lars. but their purchasing power con-
stantly is shrinking. And we have .
Government which. having taxed every
thing else, is now taxing even savings
banks and life insurance-the deposit
tories Of the peoples savings. In other
words, the Government Is treating saw
ings just like liquor or tobacco-a .
luxury for which the people who indulge
must expect to be penalized.
So these are tough days for the thrifty.
They have to curb their Government as
well as their own natural impulses to
spend. But tough days, merely as an
excuse for the weak, invariably are .
stimulus to the strong, and even In such
days some men and some women VIII
save and win be very glad later on that
they did.

Nj. Dewey,s Worning

8 In MS new 4Ofk &QQE6SS 10 LIE NablUIlAl
Industrial Conference Board. Governor Dewey
has made proposal that can be more easily
proposed than put into effect. The Pacific Pact
he envisions is certainly as desirable IN principle
as the Atlantic Pact or the Pact Of Rio de Janero
AS practical matter, however, such q security
alliance cannot be organized very readily.
In that respect free Asia differs funda-
mentally from Western Europe and the inter-
American community of this hemisphere. Quite
obviously, some of the key countries out there
notably India. which Mr.. Dewey has failed to
mention, just as he has failed to mention
Pakistan-are politically allergic, at this stage,
to the idea of joining a defensive coalition
against the threat of Red aggression.
But to say this is not to say that Mr.. Dewey
has misread the meaning of what is happening
in the Far East today. He has not exaggerated
in warning that the Communist menace in that
part of the world has catastrophe potentialities
and that something more is needed to meet that
menace than our pending treaties of mutual
defense with Japan, the Philippines, Australia
and New Zealand For it is a fact that those
treaties, necessary and sound as they are, are
not enough in themselves to guarantee the free
worlds security in the Pacific. Thus, wholly
apart from India and Pakistan, they do not cover
Indo China, Thailand, Burma, Malaga, Indo-
nesia or Southeast Asia as whole.
The significance of this region has been well
summed up by Mr. Dewey in the following words:
Moscow knows that If those nations fall Japan
would also fall. The Communists know that If
they can get that area, they will win Sc per cent
of the worlds tin, 80 per cent Of the worlds
natural rubber two-thirds of the worlds export
able rice, an enormous and growing percentage
of the worlds oil, coal, tungsten and many other
products ESSENTIAL TO our survival in America
The Communists know also that if they win
that area, the Philippines will be surrounded on
three sides and Australia and New Zealand
iSolated."sgs@ z.snteF
More specifically, paying warm and de-
served tribute to the French in Indo-China for
zone of the most sacrifcial struggles of their
history" Mr.. Dewey has warned that If Red
China should invade and overrun that country,
there would be little hope of holding on to any
of Southeast Asia-including the islands OF
Indonesia-for very long. And in that case the
chances are that the defense of our own country
would shrink back to Hawaii or to the coast OF
California" s1e4
It is because of this that Mr.. Dewey has
appealed for Pacific. treaty backed by an
unequivocal American warning that I'VE will
not hesitate to use every weapon" against
aggression in that region. Politically, such a
pact may be unattainable at this time. But the
military realities remain, and it is only through
some such arrangement that any real security
in the Far East can be obtained.

Propaganda Over suez

It is not surprising that the skillful Russian
propagandistS are striving to take fullest advan-
tage of the state of near war which exists today
between Britain and Egypt. 1t is indeed dis
turbing, however to realize that they are dealing
with situation that is almost made to order
for their purposes and that despite their
hypocrisy, they are easily able to fashion an
appeal that is almost certain to gain an increas-
ing responsiveness from an infiamed Egyptian
population.
It is likewise frustrating that neither Britain
nor the West has any easy avenue by which they
can counter the damage. In the Egyptian point
of view. despite their unilateral treaty cancela-
tion. they are fighting foreign imperialism,
striving to end an occupation Of their country
NV the forces of another power. In their minds,
rightly or wrongly, there Is no real issue over
the security of the Suez Canal. til their con-
tention that the Canal is not being threatened
by ANYBODY and that the. British preoccupation
with this issue is merely mask for the Interior
motive of maintaining British troops on Egyptian
soil and perpetuating condition OF imperialiSt
domination.
This analysis may be disputed honestly by
Britain or by some other Western power. Ger
tainly Russia,s Imperialism is more aggressive
today than that of any other nation In the world
and its effects are more destructive 1.-the type
of freedom which Egypt seeks than Britains has
been in any modern manifestation. Russias
evil aspirations in the Middle East have been
openly expressed in the past It Is impossible
to believe that the creation of vacuum OF
mower in the Suez would not set up an inviting
target for neW Communist designs.

often fails in some crucial test. It acts
as If it had suddenly developed q short

the tip Of the tongue in time.
We hear folks benaoan the holes In
