Better Air Raid ! Signal
Asked byCivic Group

The Brightwood Citizens AS
sociation, Inc, last night voted
to appeal to Congress for money
to provide an adequate air raid
warning system.
1t was pointed out that the
civil defense air raid warning
system in the District is wholly
inadequate in that it cannot be
heard in all locations of the
city, many of which are residen-
tial areas. thus not giving each
citizen an opportunity to pro-
tect himself and his family, "
according to the resolution
adopted.
Endorsement was given to the
bill introduced by Senator John
ston, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, providing for a payment
of Is per cent of Federal funds
toward maintenance of the Dis
trict.
The group also voted to ask
the Board Of Education to retain
Mckinley High School for white
students.
The public works program
adopted for the District by the
Federation Of Business Mems
Association was indorsed by the
association, in preference to the
long range program under con-
sideration by District officials.
Harry Fine presided at the
meeting, held in the Paul Junior
High School, Eighth and Ogle-

Tax Fight

We cannot help commenting on the
political picture at this time. On the
one hand is the politically inept (ac-
cording to columnists) White House
staff and President Eisenhower. On
the other hand are the politically
wise(?) congressional leaders and their
followers. From the appearance OF
things and the sound and the fury over
the excess profits tax extension, 1t
seems that the Republicans in Con-
gress have forgotten that they were
dragged into power on the Presidents
coat tails. They are acting as If they
did it all alone, and seem more con-
cerned over their rights and privileges
than in helping the man who made 1t
possible for them to have those rights
and privileges. After 20 years in the
wilderness observing the Democrats
win votes and influence people, they are
acting as if they have not learned their
lesson yet. In fact they seem deter
mined to show how dumb they can be.
Some one should remind them that
there is an election in '54 and, If they
don't mend their ways, the man who
helped them win in 80 may be so sick
and tired of their churliShnesS that
he may refuse to run in SO. He does
not have to, you know. No wonder the

There was another burlesque place.

other conciliatory gestures since stalin's death,
we have here further indication. that the new
Soviet regime is really going all out in its
So-called peace offensive. There Is every reason,
Of course, to doubt the genuineness of the de-
velopment. Still, suspect as it may be, it
adds up to rather striking assault on what
has been key part of Russia's postwar life
namely, complete enforcement from the free
nations. Although it is not an earth-shaking
event, it at least suggests that the nerve center
of Red totalitarianism is not altogether happy
in its self-imposed isolation and may be seri-
ously contemplating additional moves to lift the
Iron Curtain a little bit more. If so, the moves
will be all to the good.

Food as Weopon

In asking Congress for authority to use
surplus food stocks worth more than $3.2 billion
for famine and other emergency relief to
friendly countries, the President Is seeking a
flexible foreign policy which can take advantage
OF Communist weakness wherever and when
ever 1t occurs.
When put beside the grant of million tons
Of wheat to Pakistan, approved last week, 1t
creates a basis for the sort of diplomacy
without-guns which recent events have been
demanding from us. Food is major weapon
over the greater part of the earth's surface, and
since we have so much of it we would be foolish
not to use it as weapon. This the President is
apparently anxious to do.
The first reaction in Congress, as might
be expected is one of caution from Republicans,
indignation from Democrats. The White House
request does presuppose a grant of virtually
unrestricted power, and the customary COM
plants and hesitations are being voiced. They
will come up against the same inescapable fact
they always come up against: In foreign affairs
there is simply no way to avoid giving the
President great fexibility of movement, because
that Is the only way he can operate in that
field. It may be bad in principle, and in the
past has frequently been bad in practice. But
nobody has yet devised sound alternative.
There is also the Democratic outcry, led by
Georgias Dick Russell and TenneSSeeS Albert
Gore. A certain lively appreciation of political
factors is present here. Senator Russell calls
it "the Brannan plan on an international scale"
Senator Gore said it is "the most monstrous
give-away" in American history. Both referred
to Henry Wallace. Mr.. Russell said the plan
surpassed Mr.. Wallace's proposal for giving
milk to the Hottentots." Mr.. Gore said he
didn't think Mr. Wallace "ever had as wild a
dream" as this.
With all this said, leaving aside the political
comments and admitting the objections on
principle, it still would seem that there is a
sound core of reasoning in the Presidents
plan. Although the administration hasn't said
so in so many words at the moment, the plan
permits the President to make definite moves
when definite moves are needed. A million
bushels of wheat to West Germany for instance
the implied promise to East Germany that it
would get the same if rebellion continued, could
have profound effect on the course of events
there. In the same way butter could be used
or potatoes, or any other commodities in which
production is outstripping domestic needs.

Adjusting Teachers Pay

The sliding scale increase in teachers
salaries as proposed by the Senate Dis
trict Committee needs revision in order
to correct inequities. It would seem that
a sliding scale increase should compen-
safe those teachers who have budgeted
their time and money to become better
qualified by earning ID the masters
degree; (2) thirty hours beyond the
masters degree, (3) sixty hours beyond
the masters degree, and "a the doc
tors degree.
The Senate District Committee, on
the other hand, penalized the expert
enced teacher by proposing per cent
increase on salaries above IS 1000, or an
increment of only 81 80 for those teach
ers earning the maximum $500. in
contrast to an increment of from $50 to
$40 a month on low and in-between
salaries, respectively. The fiat 10 per
cent increase proposed in the Beall bill
certainly seems more equitable, though
a pay raise scale for teachers seems to
need more careful study than it has
received to date.
