Horrin1on: Vote-Getter

Averell Harriman's overwhelming victory
over Senator Estes Kefauver in yesterdays
Democratic primary here has more local than
national significance Without discounting the
olow to the Kefauver cause inflicted by such
complete defeat, with its loss of the Districts
SIX votes on the first convention ballot, it Is
obvious that national issues-except for FEPC-
had little to do with the outcome Both can
didates saw alike on nearly everything but COM
pulsory Federal fair employment practices. Mr.
Hartman made the most Of the fact that he
was Tor FEPC 100 per cent, while his opponent
would support 1t only If the party platform re-
quired him to. Campaigning like a veteran
politician Mr.. Hartman made direct personal
appeal for the Negro vote-with tremendous
success.
The effectiveness of MIR. Harriman's racial
approach can be seen from the lopsided results
In areas where colored voters predominant.
Senator Kefauver received only 80 votes to Mr.
Harriman's 1,158 at the U street polling place,
for example. The ratio was to 159 at the
Benning road Northeast station, % to SIG at
Second and M streets and to 381 at 2001
Fifteenth street Northwest. The TenneSSean won
only at the polls at 1900 Wisconsin avenue
Northwest, at 4801 North Capitol street North
east and at 2813 Pennsylvania avenue Southeast.
This was Mr.. Harriman's first experience in
o primary contest and he has a right to crow
over 1t. It was Senator Kefauver's second defeat
IN 16 primaries-the only other having been his
loss to Senator Russell in Florida. There the
situation was the reverse of that which prevailed
here-Senator Russelrs all-out opposition to
FEPC winning him votes of many Floridians who
felt that the Kefauver stand was too wishy-
Washy.
The primary yesterday was noteworthy for,
the record breaking turnout Of voters. More
than 1900 Democrats cast their votes, as COM
pared with less than 5000 in the Republican
primary last month. This is healthy sign of
civic interest-and the disparity will be pointed
to by the Democrats as indicating trend that
could mean lot in November.

Piston Pepper Confused With Hot Rod
To the Editor Of The Star:

This is especially addressed to Fright
ened" (Star, June - but should be Of
significance to every person in this area
that drives a car. rides In one, or even
has to cross the street. I'm sick Of hear
ing every piston popping pile Of junk
with pair Of Hollywood mufders being
called 'hot rod" and the accidents
caused by these heaps being blamed ON
"hot rodders."
To the informed, "hot rod" means q
finely tuned racing machine with safety
the predominating feature. They are not
built with the intention Of soaring"
the average driver, but as an of the
road competitive car. OF course, some
are driven on the road but true "hot
rodder" never would ruin his chances in
competition by driving like a maniac.
Most "hot rodders" belong to organ
lied clubs which have full backing Of
police departments in their locales, and
safety regulations are very strict-a mis-
demeanor meaning loss Of membership
or probation period. All cars are in
spected frequently and not allowed to
carry the club name If not in top shape.
The progress which has taken place
on the West Coast in just q few weeks
Is q fine example Of what can be done
with the shot rod" movement Accidents
have been kept down to rock-bottom
minimum by giving these young men
and women safe place for drag racing
and time trials. Here they can see what
their cars will do without endangering
life and limb. and they no longer have
the desire to burn up the public high
ways. Only under these conditions
should they be entitled to the name
"hot rodder."
The "hot rod" movement is not some
passing fad that can be squelched by
prohibition methods. The young people
of today cut their teeth on speed and
will not be content without it. Other
cities all over the country have had the
same problem and are solving it through
organization, enlightenment, and UNDER
standing. Why cannot the leading city
Of the Nation be leader In this also?
I'm sure the police department would be
1000 with any group that could lower
traffic fatalities and it can be done. I'm
also sure that If Frightened" is half as
frightened as he says. he should be the
first to volunteer assistance.
But 1t must be done! Call these young
people together; enlist the aid Of the
police and experienced "hot rodders" to
help them organize and enforce strict

Toward European Unity

Now that the italian Chamber Of Deputies
has voted its approval the Schuman Plan has
at last been ratified by all six member nations.
Free Europe thus has taken another good step
forward toward economic integration of a kind
that can hardly fail to promote real progress
toward political federation.
With the ratification completed, the six ma
tions-France, West Germany, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Luxembourg and Italy-will next
act to translate the Schuman Plan into work.
ing reality. To that end their foreign ministers
are to meet in Paris on June 80 for conference
that will define organizational details and set
up administrative machinery to put the historic
project into effect
Although it is not likely to function smoothly
right at the start the project, once 1t begins
operating, will pool the coal and steel resources
of the six nations under supranational au-
thority unprecedented in modern history. The
authority will exercise powerful influence over
things like production quotas, marketing prices,
labor conditions and freight rates, and the pool
ing process itself will create vast new economic
unit in Western Europe. Difficulties and diff
ferences must be expected, but the net effect of
this great cooperative enterprise will be to
promote the mutual enrichment of all the par
ticipants
Not less important than the Schuman Plan,
and tied in with it most closely, is the yet-to-be
ratified treaty on the European Defense Com
munity. This treaty, involving the same six
sgnatories, will set up supranational army,
thus establishing in the military field the sort
of integration that the coal-and-steel merger
is designed to establish in the economic field
integration that is bound to encourage close
political ties
OF course actual political federation-the
creation of United States of Europe-still
seems a long way off Yet, as demonstrated by
the Schuman Plan and the European Defense
Community, the ancient dream Is definitely be-
ginning to take on substance, and the free world
is the stronger for 1t.
