General Collins New Role

There is double virtue in the appointment
of General j. Lawton Collins representative
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on two key organi-
cations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.
The first virtue rests in the qualifications
which General Collins will bring to his assign
mentS as member of the Military Committee
of the Atlantic alliance and a member of the
Standing Group of the alliance. The committee,
composed of high-ranking officer OF each OF
the IA signatory powers of the NATo. is re-
Sponsible for the military aspects OF defense
plans for the pact area. The Standing Group
composed of representatives of the United
States, Britain and France is the executive
agency of the committee, co-ordinating and
supervising the activities of the subordinate
military commands.
To these .sponSibilities, General Collins
will bring a varied and colorful experience as
a soldier and an intimate knowledge of the
problems actually before him. He was one Of
the brilliant lighting generals" In World War
II and his competence as an administrative
officer has been well demonstrated during four
years as Army Chief of Staff. He learned at
Evening star., 1953-06-08

first hand Of the combat problems Of warfare Ia
Europe when the fighting was going on; Ia
similar fashion he has learned Of the problems
of rebuilding Europes defenses in these past
four years of being member of the Joint
Chiefs
The second virtue in the Collins appoint
ment is the relief it will afford to the new
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Radford.
Up to now, these particular NATO assignments
have been assigned to the chairman, General
Bradley, with the result that he has been
forced periodically to set aside his duties in
Washington in order to participate in Atlantic
pact meetings, sometimes involving extended
absences from this country. Secretary Of De-
fense Wilson, in announcing General Collins
appointment, emphasized the merit in freeing
Admiral Radford from responsibilities mot di-
rectly connected with his primary duties" II
Operationally, the new arrangement will
call for General Collins to sit with the Joint
Chiefs when NATO matters are under dis
cussion-a plan which should be beneficial to
the overlapping interests of both organizations.

Nobody would laugh at it now.
Our Good Neighbor policy has de-

We are all the victims Of distortions
of fact and attitude.
It is good to be generous, but foolish
to give away your shirt.
This isn't politics, it is just common

Daylight saving is our annual orgy

If we can swallow this. and be SNUG
about it, then we can swallow anything
and probably will.
It Is the handwriting on the wall,
the measure of our fall from grace.
The Fabian socialists have got US
down, and are going to make US like
it, before they are through.
They have well begun with daylight
saving time.
Who actually is behind it, we know
no more than who, actually, Is respon-
,sible for putting poison in our water.
This thing Of making everybody do
something just because it Is supposed
to be good for a limited part Of the
population is not new, Of course.
It has been going on for long time.

The worst thing about daylight saw

What seems the terrible part Of It
to many Is that 1t Is another modern

Such distortions as these operate
with all the force of natural laws.
One is not entering into political dis
cussions at all. but simply pointing out
facts, when he states that much Of
the national legislation since 1888 has
been in the wide field of distortion.

(propaganda) we all have come to

publican administration show that the
conservative Republicans have swal-
lowed all the propaganda. hook, line
and sinker, and really prefer to go
along with It rather than try to change
it.
This failure is not due to cussedneSS,
as the Democrats might think. but
solely to the success Of various distor-
tionS.
We have all come to accept this
business Of trying to take care of the
whole world, and paying for other
nations. and sticking our long noses
into the affairs Of other peoples.

Why can't this $18 billion create more
social security?

journal of the American Medical As

Some 6,665 hospitals provided 49,

Mccarthy Makes Headlines

We read with interest The Star edi-
torial Of May 20 which described the
Americans for Democratic Action Con-
yention as a cease study in how to build
up a man you don't like" specifically
Senator Joseph Mccarthy. Your edi-
torial dramatizes the great public rela-
tions mystery of the Senator from
Wisconsin, and points up the dilemma
which now confronts not only liberal
organizations, but all thoughtful citi-
zens and responsible newspapers.
We were just as concerned as you
were with the overwhelmingly "anti-
Mccarthy" headlines given our conven-
ton. We do consider Senator Mccarthy
and his political cohorts as very great
threat to our democratic freedoms, and
as you indicated, we vehemently said

the agenda. In actual fact, it COM

Mr.. Monnet's Optimism

It is an encouraging message that Jean
Monnet, head of the European Coal and Steel
Authority, has brought to the United States on
the prospects Of an eventual and genuine
political unity of Western Europe.
Visiting Washington at the invitation of
President Eisenhower Europe's foremost archi-
tect of the concept of unity for the free
portions Of the Old World feels that the OBJ
structions and uncertainties of today are being
slowly ground away by a spreading realization
that the relatively small area of Western
Europe cannot go on indefinitely being
breeding ground for wars. In his opinion, the
Coal and Steel Authority itself has set the
example of how national boundaries may be
smoothed out by supranational economic
structure.
It is on this beginning, as he told the
Overseas Writer'S Association, that the more
important project of political United States of
Europe already is progressing. Next week in
Rome, the responsible foreign ministers of the
six members of the European Community will
consider a draft constitution that has been
prepared by the Assembly of the Coal and Steel
Authority.
In expressing his optimism, Mr.. Monnet
does not predict haste. He feels that Europe
has accomplished much in a short time and he
points out that it took the American people,
with no divisive barriers of language and
cultural heritage, seven years to progress from
the Continental Congress to the Articles of
Confederation and even more years before the
Constitution became the rule of the land. He
recognizes as obstacles the historic Franco
German rivalry, the constitutional problem
which prevents France from having stable
government today, the influence and the Skepti-
cism of the Socialist Party in West Germany,
the unwillingness of Britain to become men,
ber of federated Europe, and the varying
domestic political problems within the other
states. He feels that pressure has been exerted
too quickly for the formation of the European
Defense Community but that the multinational
single army will become reality when the
political foundation has been built and accepted.
Such optimism from lesser authority
might be discounted as naivete. But Mr.. Mon
net, who has been described as Europe's No.
Man of Ideas and later as Europes No. Man
of Action, is not naive His original dream of
the Coal and Steel Community has become a
working reality. His forecast Of what may
follow that experiment may likewise become
fact. Europe'S best chance of establishing
basis of peace for itself, and perhaps for the
world, lies in such vision and the accompanying
determination to translate vision into reality.
