Youth Shortchunoed

For some weeks now, articles, judges,
editorials, readers, commissioners and
profeSSed experts have wrestled with
the topic of the moment-juvenile
delinquency. All the solutions indicate
neglect of some sort and the blame
ranges from so-called parental delin-
quency to school. church, and COM
munity failure.
Were juvenile delinquency a new
phenomenon, the scientific approach of
fact finding and analysis would be
highly laudable. For period of years
now, Washington has been short
changing the youth of this city in
various types of youth services.
For number of years, the Com
munity Chest has failed to meet it's
annual quota. Result: All the aSso-
ciated agencies including youth-Serv-
ing agencies have been cut back on what
they considered budgets adequate to
render service.
Because Of economies, families on
public assistance receive 78 cents for
every dollar they need to maintain
themselves with the bare necessities

Because of economies, a Southeast
recreation center under the Department
OF Recreation can only operate two
nights per week because the depart

for janitorial services on the third

The Form Situation

I rise to defend Joseph Meegan's
letter, "GiveS Benson the Business"
although Mr.. Benson probably wishes
more than Mr.. Meegan that he could
abolish subsidies to farmers, which
were inherited with his job.
I have been reading recently of a
gasoline war in Pennsylvania. Gaso-
line is selling as low as IL and 13
cents gallon, including tax. What
would the owners of those gasoline
stations answer if they we're told, 1.-THE
farmer is the only producer whose SELL
ing price is determined by somebody
else? A similar gasoline war, in wes-
tern Rhode Island is running into its
second year, and some stations have
been forced to close. Under normal con-
ditions, no producer determines the
selling price of his product. There are
always buyers, but at their price.
Gasoline stations close because there
are too many sellers of gasoline.
Farmers go bankrupt because there
are too many farmers producing the
same product.
A friend of mine, farmer in Michi-
gan, said, Farming is like any other

Prelude to Thanksgiving

The progress already made in the Commu-
nifty Chest campaign is encouraging but it will
take much greater efforts on the part of all
concerned if there is to be cause for real
thanksgiving in the Washington area this year.
Chest leaders are hoping that the drive for 81
million will have gone over the top by Thanks
giving Day. Anything short of success would
detract from the cheer that should attend the
traditional harvest festivities.
Latest reports show the Residential Unit
well ahead of all other units in collections, with
the Governmental, the Business and Profess
Sional and the Suburban Units trailing. Cam
paign officials are especially concerned over
the lag in the business sector. The Govern
mental Unit is about even with last years rate
of progress, but the Business and Professional
Unit is behind its usual pace. The unsatisfac
tory situation in the business community is
not blamed on the cityS business firms and
professional interests. Inquiry has disclosed
that the canvaSSing in this field is far behind
schedule.
There is urgent need, therefore, for a
marked stepping up of the solicitation work
by trailing teams. GiverS can assist in meeting
the Thanksgiving deadline by cooperating in
the move for prompt coverage of the city. 1t
will take collaborative endeavorS of this sort
to guarantee Chest victory by November 26.

Of conferring with the rulers Of the Soviet and
Chinese Communist world" Seldom, If ever,
has there been a more striking example of
international bumptiousnesS and arrogance.
OF course as the Secretary has made clear,
the United States looks with utter contempt
on such arrogance, and the same holds true
for every other self-respecting free nation.
Accordingly, assuming that the Kremlih means
what it says, there is not the slightest chance
for an early easing of international tensions
On the contrary, judging from the Dulles
analysis, those tensions may well increase in
the weeks and months ahead, with peace
hanging precariously in the balance. Certainly,
dreary and discouraging as it is, that seems
to be the true sum of the present world
situation.

Cardinal SpeIImon Abroad

I was interested in The Stars report
of Cardinal Spellman's october "a
speech in Brussels rebuking European
critics of "McCarthyiSm."
The Star quotes him as saying. mo
American uncontaminated by COM
munism has lost his good name because
of congressional hearings on un-
American activities"
It is tragic that Cardinal Spellman
and other men who hold such reSpon-
sible positions in the education field are
so poorly informed about the subject
matter of their goodwill speeches de-
livered to European audiences. Doesn't
the cardinal realize that owen Latti-
more has not yet been found guilty of
any of the many charges made against
him by Senator Mccarthy? Is Cardinal
Spellman of the opinion that Mr.. Lat
timore's reputation was left untar-
nished by McCarthy's charge that Lat
timore was "tbE top Russian espionage

Our kinship with other living things

It is a pleasure to watch the birds
eat, because they eat so heartily.
They may be regarded as heat motors,
motivated by food.
Their normal temperatures. ranging
from 103 to Ill degrees, according to
species, are secured mostly by food,
partly by feathers and activity.
They are able, much to the envy Of
many watchers, to eat constantly with
out growing fat. The short alimentary
canal and the high metabolic rate en-
able them to do this without hurt.
Every bit of food put out for them,
then, is real help.
Raisins feed wintering mocking birds,
cardinals, various sparrows and a late
robin or two.
Bread will serve to keep warm almost
all the wintering species, and If old
Bozo takes snack, he is not to be
blamed, for he is hungry, too.
When it comes to a good appetite,
there is nothing to equal dog. He can

Precorious Peace

Secretary of State Dulles in his trenchant
and somber analysis of the KremlnS note
last Tuesday to the western Big Three, has left
little room for doubt that the dark gulf yaWn-
ing between our world and the Soviet Union
remains at least as wide and as deep as ever.
And he has suggested that the task of bridging
1t, if it can be bridged at ALL seems in some
ways to have grown even more difficult than
in the past regardless Of Stains death.
For the note, according to Mr. Dulles pain
stalking Interpretation, adds up to much more
than a bruSh-off" of the o-French- Amer
lean proposal for foreign ministers confer
ence on Germany and Austria. AS he has read
it, "It is coldly presented statement of Soviet
demands couched in language that bears
little resemblance to that normally employed
as between nations which are at peace" Indeed,
one can find in it something that looks pretty
much like an ugly Warning-"an unpleasant
reference twice repeated, that failure on our
part to accept those demands will increase
the threat of new world war;
AS for the demands themSelves-precondi-
tions set forth by the Kremlin as its price for
asserting to foreign ministers meeting-Mr.
Dulles has summed them up as follows: Cd
France, Britain and the United States must
stop comforting together and end the r"col-
lusion" that makes it harder for the Russians
for the European Defense Community and
the unif1cation of Western Europe must be
scrapped 90 the life of the puppet East Ger
man Communist regime must be prolonged in
any agreement on Germany; a. the North At
lantic Treaty Organization and the free worlds
security pactS in the Pacific and Far East must
be wiped OUT (5J the United States must extend
diplomatic recognition to Red China and stop
opposing its admission into the United Nations,
and co the Soviet Union must be accepted as
a neutral participant in the projected Korean
political conference.
After mulling over all these extraordinary
points, Mr.. Dulles has reached the conclusion
that the essence of the Kremlins position, as
threatfully defined in the November 3 note,
is that the European and Asian nations not
now subject to the tyranny of Red totali-
tarianiSm must Internationally surrender
their protective principles and practices Of
security and present themselves divided, and
thus weakened, in order to gain the privilege

A Kinq Is Dead

The death of Ibn Saud has brought to an
end one of the goth centuryS most dramatic
and colorful careers of soldering and states
manship For the desert monarch, giant of
a man physically, had demonstrated similarly
gigantic qualities on the field of battle and in
the realm of political leadership
AS a youth, half a century ago, he began
his 30-year campaign to unite the Arabian
peninsula under his own autocratic and kingly
rule. 1t was a campaign marked by brilliant
and bitter fighting but accompanied by gen.
erosity in victory that sealed his triumph and
made clear both to his subjects and to the
outside world that here was a man truly en-
dowed with the qualities of king. 1t was in
1882 that this chapter of Ibn Saud'S career of
conquest reached its close. In the years since,
he has ruled his people as would tribal chief
tain, dispensing justice and charity by personal
decision and holding in his own hands the final
judgment on all matters, internal and external,
affecting his kingdom.
Although lacking academic education in
Western sense of the term and only once in his
life venturing outside the Arabian peninsula,
he recognized some of the important values of
Western civilization He was quick to accept
American interest in his country and granted
to American companies the right to develop the
vast petroleum resources which had been in
The relationship which has followed has been
one of more than financial profit to the King
and the concessionaires; it has been friendly
partnership of great value to Saudi Arabia on
one side and to the entire free world on the
other
There has been speculation as to the course
of events when death should come to Ibn Saud,
but it was consistent with his own shrewd and
reasoned rule that he prepared carefully for
this day. The Crown Prince, now 48, has been
schooled for years in the problems of admin
istering the affairs of the kingdom, with par
ticular emphasis on the traditions and conSid-
erationS of domestic rule. Only few weeks
ago, the ailing King created the first cabinet
for his government and designated the Crown
Prince as its head. The second Prince, FaiSal,
more widely travelled than others of the royal
family and its representative in many inter-
national matters, will continue as Foreign Min
lister and as next in line to the throne.
The transition has been orderly and there
is no reason evident now to fear that the sta
biity of the peninsula or the harmonious re-
lationship with the West In general and the
United States in particular will be upset.

U. S. Shells for Export
The November 4 letter of Shaul
Kariv, Embassy of Israel, states "Nei-
ther the Israel defense forces nor the
Israel villages are equipped with any
form of United States small arms.
Israel utilizes 7.92-mm. caliber weapons,
which are not manufactured by the
the village of Kibya.
This is advanced as proof that Doro-
thy Thompson was in error in stating
her belief that American ammunition
was utilized by the Israelis to attack
the village of Kibys.
While it is true that the United
States does not use the 7.92-mm. caliber,
it is also true that one of our largest
small arms ammunition manufacturers
made hundreds of millions of rounds of
7.92-mm for United States ally during
the last war. Presumably it will make
the same ammunition for any country
that can obtain an export license from
the State Department and presumably
it will mark the cartridges in any way
desired by the purchaser.
Mr.. Kariv can doubtless obtain the
name of this manufacturer from his
own purchasing Office, or through le-
gitimate commercial sources.

drawn cart on any of the 'fast" high
ways. Furthermore, truck and bus driv-
ers are the fastest drivers on the road.

Limiting Tuxicubs

There have been recent articles about
limiting the number of taxi drivers. I
would like to ask how legal or American
it is to deprive man of making live
lihood-in possibly the only way he
knows how? Would the authorities
prefer to put him and his family on re-
lief? There are many persons driving
cabs who hold down good Government
jobs by day. They own their own cabs
and start cabling at PIMA time
when they most certainly are depriving
career" cabbists of fares. Why are
such persons given license to earn
two salaries-and in some cases to en-
JOY three, where wife is also working
I don't say that one should not try to
earn as much as he can-but then why
put limit on the number of drivers
when the ones who are earning their
living solely from this source will be
the ones to suffer?
