The State Department had the

learned, and advised caution in
announcing the event because
neither the attacking MIG-15

reasoning of some diplomats ran
like this:

comittee to investigate whether
ian element of q chip on the

B-50 may have entered into the
Skirmish.
Both Senators expressed the
opinion the American plane
might have ventured too close
to Russian territory just to OBJ

Senator Magnuson pointed out
the B-50 was 600 miles west of
the nearest American territory
in the Aleutian chain. He said
he could understand why the
Russians would want to chal-
'lenge the American plane but
there was no excuse for the MIG

the bitter winters of the Korean
war now are eligible for the $45-
a-month combat duty pay for
the time spent in recovery.
A spokesman for Far East
headquarters said the new plan

Progress by Research

Most Of human progress at least in the
material things, has come by piercing the
frontiers Of the unknown-by exploration and
research. ..
The Research and Development Board of
the Defense Department, peculiarly we'll stu
ated to know how extensively private industry
has participated in research for more than
better-Selling gadgets, has recently completed
a study showing that the Nations total effort
in this direction in 1852 was $3.5-billion bust
ness, with $2.3 billion of this performed in
privately owned and operated laboratories
Most of the balance went on in facilities owned
by schools and the Federal Government
While Government underworld much of the
overall COST including that done in private
facilities, the ultimate benefits have been public
ones in terms of national health, security and
general standards of living. The industrial
leaders were the electrical machinery, chemical
and aircraft Notwithstanding for SIS per
cent of the estimated $4,000 engineers and
scientists employed in the research field.
It is encouraging that the best available
comparison between 1852 and previous years
reflects a steady upward trend in this partner
ship between private and public enterprise.
There is good reason to feel confident that this
course will not be reverSed-and that the dol
lars involved will be insignificant as measured
against the benefits to the Nation.

The robin in the snow turned up
his bill at the variety of foods we put
out for him.
Although he flew down and inspected
the Clearly swept place. he did not
venture into it, but let it go by default
to the mockingbird and few others.
Robins, birds of the open in peculiar
sense. do not like any appearance Of
things out Of the ordinary.
In other words. this robin in the
snow feared the layout just because
it was not snow!
Birds are that way. They fear traps.
and will not willingly visit any place
that for any reason suggests one.
So, If you would intrigue the early
robin, be casual.
Do not prepare a place for him, in
any sense. but let your preparations be
nil and your food plenty.
Raisins just sprinkled in the grass
will be best.
Just toss them out, and let fall
where they will.
Be sure that the robins will find
them, also the cardinals, sparrows,
StarlingS and others. Later the catbirdS
will find them good eating.
The raiSin eaters, as we call them,
include some Of our best species, the
mockingbirds, catbirds, cardinals and
robins.

materials that we receive from abroad in ex-
change for what we supply.
More important still, as measures designed
to operate as direct stimulants on the flow of
commerce between us and our friends, the
President wants two things. He wants Congress
to revise and simplify our customs regulations
to remove unnecessary red tape and other pro-
cedural obstacles that now seriously hamper
and discourage importers in this country and
exporters abroad In addition, while noting the
need for Legitimate" safeguards against injury
to our domestic industry and agriculture, he
wants an extension of the largely successful
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act which was
first adopted in 1884.
These are views that leave little room for
doubt regarding President Eisenhower's inten-
ton to stimulate international trade as part of
his overall program to increase both the eco
nomic and military strength of the free world
IT our allies abroad-especially in Western
Europe-co-operate along the lines he suggests,
and If Congress does the same real progress
can be made toward the goal he has Set and
our own and every other nation involved will
be the gamer.

wood, stationery, newspapers and ga
zettes. But, in 1871, the Congress
trimmed this modest figure to just over
$4,000. In 1892, when we had five
ministers and sixteen consular officers
abroad. the estimated cost of our
foreign service was $4,000.
These figures are eloquent testimony
of the magnitude of the change that
has taken place since Jefferson's day,
not only in the physical handling of
our foreign relations, but also of the
emergence of the once weak Republic
to position OF pre-eminent leadership
in world affairs. Nonetheless, these
enormous differences between the 1905
and 1853 should not lead us to forget
that there are certain basic similar
tiles between the situation then and
now. In that distant era, as in 1853,
the United States had to play its part
in a world torn by the conflict of
ideologies and world politics. Then.
as now, the conduct of our foreign
relations was Of vital Importance to
the Nation.
The United States can be grateful
that the new Secretary Of State comes
to his high Office in 1858, as did his
illustrious predecessor in 1870, after
a distinguished career in law, politics.

A few months after Jefferson took
Office as Secretary of State in 1870,
he sent to Congress an estimate Of less
than $4,000 as the probable home ex-

one year. This figure covered the Sec

We can recall several years ago,

There was one robin in our yard at
the time.
He looked so cold and miserable that
we decided to do something for him.
Accordingly. we cleaned off a space

species, including the robins and mock
ingbirds
One does not bake a cake just for
them, of course Perhaps there is
slice or two left over, and these are
getting a bit stale.
The birds will not mind. They are
never "f1nicky," in the human sense.
Good cake offers real nourishment
to the various species. For one thing
it is seldom ruined by too much process
ing, or the addition of chemicals.
Though honestly made cake has
many calories, it does not suffer from
such chemicals as propylene glycol and
sodium proprionate, to be found In
some bread and rolls.
Any cake, then, makes good bird
food. as well as human food.

The Basic Law Is Unfair

The Arlington Circuit Courts ban on Fed
eral employees as school board members is con-
sistent with its previous custer of such employees
from the County Board. However, the law on
which both rulings were based is not consistent
with democratic principles of representative
Self-government. The next General Assembly
should see to it that the injustice being done
Federal workers living in nearby Virginia by an
outmoded discriminatory law is corrected.
The basis of the two rulings is 1887
statute barring any employees of the Federal
Government from holding public Office of any
kind in Virginia The purpose of the law was
to prevent what the Legislature felt was
possible threat at that time of Federal domino
ton of local government through infiltration.
Because this fear was without basis insofar as
local rule in Arlington and Fairfax Counties
was concerned, the Assembly in 1923 excepted
the two counties from the ban. One exception
applied especially to county boards and another
to school boards. AS result of challenges by
John Locke Green, former Arlington treasurer,
the courts first ruled invalid the 1928 exception
affecting county boards, on the ground that
it was special legislation" for particular coun-
ties and hence not constitutional. The school
board exception now has been thrown out on
the ground that the law exempts only
Federal employees in Washington from the 1873
ban and therefore is discriminatory.
Although another law permits Federal
CLERKS" to serve on city councils and school
boards, question has arisen as to whether or
not the courts would regard this exception as
discriminatory too. No challenge so far has
arisen in this connection.
The whole situation is disruptive of orderly
government in nearby Virginia communities,
where Federal employees and their families
compose a large percentage of the population.
In Arlington, for example. more than half the
residents are dependent on the Federal Govern
ment for their earnings. They are substantial
taxpayers and good citizens. To bar them from
public service is unfair both to the individuals
concerned and to the communities which they
are capable of serving so well.

Eisenhower on Trade

AS indicated in his state-of- the Union
message President Eisenhower proposes to take
an active lead in promoting profitable and
equitable world trade" A number of his fellow
Republicans in Congress may give him some
trouble on that score, but he himself seems
firmly committed to the interchangeable idea
that such trade is essential to the well-being
and safety of all free countries, including our
own, and that an affirmative program is there
fore needed to encourage it to the greatest
possible extent.
What the President has in mind is pro-
gram that begins with like-minded nations
abroad particularly the members of the At
lantic alliance. Pointing out that the Western
European countries, although they have made
considerable progress in the right direction,
are still far short of the economic indignation
that their own situation requires, he urges them
to take the initiative in creating broader mar
ketS and more dependable currencieS, to allow
greater exchange of goods and services among
themselves" Further, he advises them that
they will invite vital help from us" If they
exercise that kind of initiative.
This vital help-as explained in the PreSi-
dents message to CongresS-meanS a number
of things. 1t means special effort to encour-
age the flow of private American investment
abroad. It means an intensihcation of the So
called offshore procurement program under
which we avail ourselves of facilities overseas
for the economical production of manufactured
articles which are needed for mutual defense
and which are not seriously competitive with
our own normal peacetime production" It
means, also an increase in the amounts Of raw

Fairfax Is GROWING Up

The changing character of Fairfax County
is reflected in the overwhelming vote of its
citizens for another substantial bond issue for
schools and for a bond issue with which to
build health center Fairfax whether its
longtime residents like it or not, is rapidly
becoming urbanized-the inevitable result of
its proximity to the ever-expanding National
Capital And even the bond issues voted this
week will not provide surplus of school and
health facilities. The countys growing pains
are likely to continue for some years to come, If
present trends are guide to future progress.
The new $11 million bond issue for schools
was approved before the building program
under a 1850 bond sale was completed. The
necessity for extending the construction pro-
gram could be seen by many of the voters as
they went to the polls The county still houses
some Of its students in tar-papered frame class
rooms, in temporary QuonSet huts and in Dor
rowed hrehouSe space. Several of it's high
schools lack full generalization because of in
ability to meet accepted national standards for
education. With the additional money the
county hopes to relieve overcrowding for to-
days children although it may be necessary
to continue the use of in1provised classrooms if
the rate of increase in school population
continues.
The proposed medical center will fill
long-telt need in the county. The $4,000 in
bonds just voted represents only the county's
share Of the cost of a $175,OOO building The
remainder Of the cost will be borne by the
Federal Government and the State under the
hoSpital-aid program. Land for the center has
been donated near the town of Fairfax
The decision to approve more bonds means,
OF course, higher taxes for every one, prospect

latter are hard HIT for the chief burden of taxes
falls on the land, on which the farmers depend
for their living. Most of the opposition to the
bond issues came from the rural sections of
the county. The plight of these veteran resi-
dents deserves special consideration as the
county continues to grow. Some more diversi-
fed spreading of the tax burden will be required
If the farmers Of Fairfax are to remain in
business.

Eund-Locked Boliviu

In two-day conference in africa
between the foreign ministers OF
Chile and Bolivia, Chile has promised
Bolivia to improve the transportation
facilities of the railway between africa
formerly Peruvian Seaport) and La
Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Chile has
also promised Bolivia to build high
way and a pipeline between Iquique
(also a former Peruvian seaport) and
Oruro, an important mining and oil
center of Bolivia.
These promises come forward after
all transit of Bolivian-bound goods
through Chilean territory was held up
for several weeks by Chile by order of
the Chilean courts at the request OF
Chilean capitalists who control the
principal trimming companies Of Bo-
livia. This embargo was the Chilean
reaction to the naturalization Of the
tin mines by Bolivia.
It is obvious that these Chilean
promises to Bolivia are directed to
divert her aspirations to seaport from
Antofagasta formerly Bolivian sea-
port) to africa and Iquique formerly
Peruvian seaports.)
Peru has made it known, with I'M
mistakable clarity, that she will never
agree to the delivery of the former
Peruvian seaports of africa and Iquique
to Bolivia, which territories Peru ex-
poets to recover with the cooperation
of the United Nations, and that the
only way to give again to Bolivia access
to the Pacific Ocean is by returning
to her the former Bolivian seaport
of Antofagasta. which Chile took away
from her by force in 1879 and which
is still in the possession of Chile.
