Senator Brewster's Ethics

There was disingenuous quality in Senator
Brewsters testimony before the House committee
probing internal revenue scandals that he had
employed Henry w. Grunewald as go-between
in deliberate circumvention Of approved rules
against contributions in primary campaigns.
AS chairman of the 1850 Republican Senate
Campaign Committee, Senator Brewster was q
party to the committees decision that it would
not make monetary contributions to Repubn-
cans opposing other Republicans in primary con-
tests It was a decision reached, in the Senator's
own words, "by very frm VOTE" The Senator's
manner of "honoring" this decision was, by his
own version to borrow $4,000 and transmit 1t
in two 5000 checks to Mr.. Grunewald for re-
transmission to the campaign treasures Of the
present Senators Nixon Of California and Young
of North Dakota. At that time. both Mr.. Nixon
and Mr. Young were engaged in party pri-
maries. When they won their nominations, the
committee then made proper contributions in
like amounts and Senator Brewster was repaid
through reversal Of the same devious pro-
cedure.
The Senator chose to emphasize before the
House committee that there was nothing "irreg
ular or improper" In the procedure. While in
q legal sense that may be true 1t strains Gre
dulity to think that the Senator expects others
to feel that 1t was not highly irregular and
improper. It must, for example, be rather shock

History Of Mankind

The Congressional Record of February
10. contained an article in the apper-
dix copied from the Los Angeles Tid-
ing stating that 100000 of our hard
earned tax money is being squandered
by UNESCO to write history Of man
kind. And the people prominent in the
proposed writing are noted atheists
and agnostics.
The Record carried another article
stating that the man selected to head
up the job was dismissed from the
faculty of the University of Pittsburgh
in 1934 on complaints Of students. par
ents and religious leaders that he was
atheistic and contemptuous and flippant
toward religion. Just how much will
this history contribute to the peace Of

do you think he will produce?
Surely Congress will not allow such
squandering on this boondoggling.

Jopon's 'Greotest Problem

General Ridgway, in his interview with Jap
anese newspaper executives, has made very clear
just why the United States Senate, like the Par
lament In Tokyo, has ratified the special security
pact between our two countries. The reason
is quite simple: It is the threatening position
OF Soviet military power and the aggressive atti-
tude Of the Kremlin, which has grimly rejected
the San Francisco peace treaty.
AS for military power, one OF his interview
ers has quoted General Ridgway as declaring
that the Russians, besides having formidable
submarine fleet in the Japan Sea- have gathered
an air armada of something like 5000 fighters
and bonnbers in Siberia and on Sakhalin Island,
all within a short distance Of japanese soil. In
addition, they have organized strong ground
forces in the same uncomfortably near area.
General Ridgway has been further quoted
as saying that this heavy concentration Of power,
although it probably is designed to generate
fear in a non-shooting war of nerves, must
constantly be reckoned with as something that
might be unleashed "at any time" in direct
military assault Accordingly, in his opinion, it
constitutes the greatest problem facing the
japanese as they begin a new chapter in their
history with the impending restoration of full
self-rule under the San Francisco peace treaty.
It is because Of this outside military threat,
coupled with the internal threat of intensified
Japanese communist acCIVlCy IN Denal1 OF the
Kremlin, that the Tokyo-Washington security
pact has been ratified along with the peace
treaty. At present, Japan is virtually disarmed,
and until it can build up defensive strength of
its own-a build-up requiring repeal of its con-
stitutional ban on rearmament-it will need the
protection of the American forces that are to
remain on its soil, in an allied status, during
an indefinite post-occupation period.
Without such an arrangement-drawn up in
keeping with request from the Tokyo govern
ment-Japan, which at present has practically
no means of self-defense, would be q pushover
for Kremlin- directed internal subversion and
external aggression. The bilateral security pact
insures against that. More precisely, it means
that any Soviet attack would result in direct
clash with American arms-a thing the Russians
will not try unless they are ready to start
full-scale war.
Some Tokyo newspapers have been critical
Of all this on the ground that it dilutes the
sovereignty restored by the peace treaty. The
critics, however represent only small muddle-
headed minority. The overwhelming majority
of the japanese people-as their Parliament has
shown-are well aware that the security pact
is of vast Importance to themselves as well as
the United States. They are not blind to the
menace of nearby Soviet power.

engaged In willful negation Of their decision.
It may likewise be shocking to the unsuccessful
primary opponents Of Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Young
to learn that their defeat was facilitated by
an underhanded repudiation of an influential
party committees announced position
Even the choice OF the go-between COM
pounded the Senator's unadmirable interpreta-
tion Of political ethics. For him to comment
jokingly before the House committee about the
superior wisdom Of his choice because of Mr..
Grunewald's capacity OF keeping his mouth
shut"-a quality for which Mr.. Grunewald is
now facing House contempt citation-merely
adds bad taste to the whole incident.

School lntegrotion

With unlimited funds it would be pos
sible to equalize educational facilities in
District schools. This, however, would
not insure equal educational oppor-
tunity. This is obvious, because true
learning is not confined to the class
room alone. but projects out into many
ramifications of a child's experience
and contact with people.
In schools which serve all the chill
dren OF all OF the people. we find boys
and girls OF widely varying backgrounds,
abilities and needs. Many phases of the
child's learning will be subjected to his
conversations and experiences with his
classmates. If he is restricted by segre-
cation to aSsociating with children of
limited experiences and backgrounds like
his own. then he will be deprived Of
one Of the greatest educational oppor-
tunitieS.
The lack Of many needed educational
devices are found more often in the
Negro schools. This makes it always
desirable for parents of Negro children
to want their children to be in white
schools. where usually are found the
necessary educational devices. This is
also true Of scholarships and work op-
portunities. Many such offers come to
the white schools that do not come to
the colored schools.
I wonder how many persons COM
pletely understand how limited some of
our Negro students are by not being
able to compare experiences with fellow
students who have Travelled extensively
or have talked with financiers, execu-
tives. judges. congressman and others?
Many believe that integration is fast
becoming an economic necessity. If
this is true, then it is foolish to spend
millions for Negro schools. II there
is even remote possibility of integra-
tion, then steps need to be taken to put
administrators teachers, pupils and
parents In a state Of readiness for it.
Integration should not be done on a
snap-judgment or pressure basis. Civic,
educational and religious leaders should
enter into q definite planning phase
before any other considerations are
made.

tCun Be Done. Says Mr.. Dunn
By Bruce Borton

Back in 1884 young man came into

shoes were shabby; he looked as If he

less, he had not come to ask for a Job.
II have project under way" he said.

told him he was welcome, and then
forgot all about him until, in the late
'30S, received document called the
Dunn Survey, which said that, with the
payroll VOTE" the Democrats would win
again in l940. The discovery of and
emphasis on the payroll vote" was the
new element Rogers Dunn introduced
into forecasting. He does not sample
voter sentiment. Instead, he starts with
what he calls the normal Democratic
vote and adds to 1t the bought" vote

1910, reported Roosevelt would win with
36 States: he won with 80. 1914, re-
ported Roosevelt would win 81 per cent
of the vote and about 400 electoral votes.
He won 53.8 per cent and 432 electoral
votes. 1948, reported Truman would win,
and Democrats carry both Senate and
House.
Now Mr.. Dunn Is out with his 1852
prediction-that Truman or his hand
picked candidate" will be elected, and
that the Democrats win gain seats In
both Senate and House.
There are now 2.5 million employees
on the Federal payroll, each of them
figured by Mr.. Dunn as good for four
votes. So the Democrats start election
morning with 10 million in-the-bag

Same Old Story

ct The Wage Sterilization Boards proposals
Tor settlement of the steel dispute follow a
generally familiar pattern.
If the recommendations, adopted by the
public and labor members over the opposition
Of the industry members, are followed, Philip
Murrays steel workers will get very substan-
tlal wage increase. Estimates and interpretations
vary, but the "package"-wage boost and fringe
benefits will total about 1873 cents an hour for
1852, and will go higher next year.
This comes at time when the Bureau of
Labor Statistics reports a downward trend in
living costs. The price index dropped 06 per cent
from mid-January to mid-February. This was
the sharpest decline in more than two years,
ana the indications are that the index will show
an additional drop this month.
hf This trend that may soon be reversed how
ever, for wage boosts in steel will certainly be
accompanied by price increase for steel prod
ucts. Again, there is dispute as to how much
of price increase will be necessary to cover
the rise in costs. But any rise in the price of
steel will have its impact on the economy as
whole, and the Wage Board is simply kidding
itself if it thinks that wage boost for the steel
workers will not be followed by wage boosts in
other basic industries. The effect is to punch
big hole in the Stabilization program Just
when the cost-of-living picture was beginning
to improve.
The board majority also recommended
union shop. the details to be worked out in
collective bargaining. The effect of this, no
matter what disclaimers may be put forward,
is to lend the weight of Government sanction
to compulsory unionization of workers who do
not want to join union. It is matter which
by no stretch of the imagination is legitimate
concern of the Sterilization Board. And while
its practical effect in the steel industry may not
be great, it nevertheless does violence to the
principle of freedom of choice in joining or not
joining union. The Government ought not to
be in the business of coercing of individuals in
matter of this kind. But this recommendation
marks start in direction from which it will
be hard to turn back.

Our Neglected Children

+ The story Of Washingtons institutional care
OF its dependent and delinquent children is told
In todayS editorial section. It is story of habit
ual neglect, OF repeatedly putting of until tomor-
row what ought to be done today, of temporary
delays" that run into decades, and of one make
shift expedient after another to stall of recurring
crises. The bright side of the story is the
dedicated effort of welfare administrators to
make the best OF what they have. The dark side
OF the story is the lack of any sustained deter
mination to carry out program, on paper for
many years, to provide decent institutional
facilities.
The Star is devoting most of the space in
todayS editorial-Section to this story. It is
important that the community know about it,
And it Is highly important that the threat of
another postponement in systematic execution of
plans be averted. Even the money for prepara-
ton OF building plans has been cut out of this
years welfare budget. That money should be
restored. This is the year to carry forward the
delayed start made last year in public-welfare
construction.
Many needs face the District They include
modernization of the water system, for which
loans have been authorized. They include new
sewers new schools, new highways new bridges
for which some borrowing program is now
being sought. The danger is that in meeting
these needs, public welfare and the dependent
child wards of the District will be passed by as
has happened so many times before.
The reader of today's story of how the Dis
tfiet is falling down on one of its fundamental
responsibilities should agree that an item of
$4,000, for planning some of the new facilities
most urgently needed should have high priority

Confidence ip Dr.. PuIIen

I should like to commend your recent
article covering the Maryland PTA
reaffirmation Of confidence in DR..
Thomas q. Pullen, State Superintendent
Of Schools, which gave DR.. Pullen "un-
qualified confidence in the belief
that he has performed outstanding serv-
ice in improving the educational oppor-
tunities for all the children of the State
Of Maryland"
Personally, have often wondered
what Maryland budget statistics would
show as to the relationship of the
amount spent per pupil in the primary
grades to the amount spent per Mary
land student at the University of Mary
land.
It is in the primary grades that basic
work habits are set which determine
later abilities, whether or not further
educational training for our children
would be worthwhile investment.
