her many friends.
Weep not that her tolls are
over,
Weep not that her race is
run,

done,
Til then we yield with glad
ness,
And rejoice in the sweet
assurance,
HE giveth his loved one
sleep"

Human Factor in Air Crashes

On the basis of the Air Forces own analyses
of major aircraft accidents last year, the House
Armed Services Committee is justified in calling
Tor an Air Force review of present policies for
selecting and training flyers. Air Force Secre-
tary Finletter told the committee that 51.3 per
cent Of the more serious crashes in 1852 were
caused by pilot errors. Mechanical failures ac-
counted for only 27.4 of the accidents. The rec
ord suggests the need for more attention by
military authorities to the human element as
a factor in reducing the number of noncombat
crashes.
Chairman Short of the House group said
the as-yet-uncompleted inquiries into series
of military air tragedies during November and
December that cost 233 lives convinced him that
the human factor was "a big element" in all of
the accidents. The committee will recommend
a tightening up of training requirements and
"more care in changing pilots from one type
of plane to another" No evidence of sabotage
has been found
The committee learned from an Air Force
ofacial that the Globemaster disaster Deem

Nature takes care Of them, at least
to some degree and they are greatly
helped by the very fact that they have
no human minds to get in the way.
The human mind often perplexes and
sometimes stops the healing Of nature.
The gulls and other birds. and the
smaller animals. have no minds Of the
human type but plenty Of brains for
their own purposes.

Why Arlington Remains a County

The movement to draw up new "Arling-
ton City, charter for submission to the voters
is intended to remedy defects which were
obvious in the charter which was overwhelm-
ingly rejected last November. The Arlington
Civic Federation has recommended the appoint
ment of a new commission to prepare another
charter under which Arlington could become q
city in fact as well as appearance But there
is no reason to believe that new charter would
meet any happier fate than the one defeated
recently.
The federation is laboring under delusion
If it thinks that the proposal to incorporate
Arlington as city was tossed out by the voters
largely because the 1916 charter on which the
plan was based was out of date. Undoubtedly
the major factor in the defeat was the very
real threat of the loss of some $500,000 year
in State aid for roads if Arlington became city.
That prospect touched the voters in a sore
spot-their pocketbooks-at time when new
and heavier tax bills were in the offing. This is
an obstacle that will remain no matter how
much care is used In drawing up charter.
Until some adequate answer can be found to
this problem of reduced revenues Arlington's
chances of becoming incorporated are apt to be
exceedingly slim.

The Rosenberg Case

half century, and I resent the un-

gave to its readers chance to express
opinion concerning the RosenbergS, now
convicted to die.

little ahead of Massachusetts, in one
respect. that is Maine long ago abol-

reads. "He who has not heart of
mercy is not man."

porter that ever lived. He said: "A

least been tempted to do-because

Personally, with my American back

why the Rosenbergs committed this
crime. I also cannot understand how
it solves anything or helps the situation

Beginning with World War I the
services were flooded with civilians
whose sole interest was the job at
hand and who cared nothing for the
traditions or customs of the services.
The Swagger stick went overheard along
with many other customs and tradi-
tions. Even the uniforms of the Army
and the Navy went civilian, and in
World War II they threw away their
swords and Sabers-ostensibly to in
crease the supply of steel for war. Can
you imagine how many rifles-or ma
chineguns, or tanks or battleships
they built from discarded swords?
Every time a cavalryman looks at a
cavalry saber he thinks of Sheridan or
Forrest or Stuart, great American
cavalry commanders. Every time a
marine looks at marine saber and
its Mameluke Scimitar hilt he thinks
of O'Bannon in the dawn of our his

Dear Sir:
while touring through Florida for
the first time recently, we were amazed
at the friendliness of the sea gulls.
pelicans and cranes.
THE gullS at Marineland are espe-
cially beautiful with their snowy
feathers. One of them. looking healthy
outwardly, met with a rather unusual
end as we were driving over the bridge
to the oceanarium.
"We came upon him standing in
the middle Of the road. He appeared
to be summing himself and we expected
him to fly up when we passed him but
though our wheels came within foot
of him. he remained motionless. his
bill turned upward.
I'VE hoped that car coming from
the other direction would scare him
off the road. but on our way back we
noticed he had been run over, just as
though he had succeeded in commit
ting suicide.
I'VE found the pelicans and cranes
at fishing docks in the Keys and along
the Gulf shores eager to be handled.

A Matter of Principle

1t is gratifying that both Republican and
Democratic members Of the Senate finance
Committee have responded with tfumbs-dovn
reaction to President Truman's proposal that
the incoming President and Vice President and
the new Speaker of the House be granted special
income tax exemptions.
At present, under bill adopted by small
majority four years ago, the President gets an
annual salary of $1OO 900 and tax-free expense
allowance of $50, 900, and the Vice President and
Speaker each receive salary Of $4,000 plus
tax-free expense allowance of $4,000. These
exemptions, however, together with similar
privilege for members of Congress, have been
done away with by legislation enacted last
summer and scheduled to become effective on
January TO- Inauguration day.
In effect. if adopted MIR. Truman's proposal
would rescind this legislation and retain the
status quo. The action would save General
Eisenhower $4,000 year, Mr>Nixon over $4,000
and Speaker Martin about $780, 1t would
also place these three men in class by them
selves, distinguished from all other Americans
in the enjoyment of special relief not granted
to any of their fellow citizens who are supposed
to share equally-according to ability to pay
in carrying the tax burden.
Such an arrangement can hardly be juSti-
fed. AS Senators Williams, Byrd and others
have declared if the President, Vice President
and Speaker should have greater compensation,
the right thing to do is to increase their salaries
without freeing them from the duty of paying
income taxes like everybody else, on the same
standard. AS matter Of principle, this is so
sound view that Congress should certainly
shelve Mr. Truman's proposal.

It was with considerable surprise that
I noted in The Star another advertise
ment calling for clemency in the Rosen-
berg case.
knowing your paper as do after
many years of subscribing to 1t, can
not, Of course, accuse you of ignorance
of the true origin of all this hysterical
noise in behalf of couple of low-down
traitors. You know as well as any
reasonably well informed citizen that it
is nothing but left-wing propaganda,
using the Rosenberg case as focal point
for Snearir1g the United States. There
fore, the only reason that can see for
your acceptance and publishing Of this
advertisement, is commendable. but,
in this particular case, misplaced sense
of impartiality and desire for letting
the other side tell its story.
This would be all very well If the
story were a matter of truthful facts.
But I cannot help but feel that, in
publishing this advertisement, you are
merely lending your facilities to the
further dissemination of the most vi
cious sort of propaganda, to the con-
fusion of a lot of people who, ignorant
of it's origin. might easily be persuaded
by all this hullabaloo that we actually
have here grave miscarriage of justice.
Moreovers somehow your editorial
policy does not seem consistent. Because
of some moral scruples, probably, you
refuse to publish liquor advertisements.
This is your right. Of course; but in SO
doing, you deny legitimate local busi-
nessmen the opportunity Of publicizing
their merchandise. This, to say the
least. seems quite incongruous to me in
the light of your editorial policy in the
Rosenberg case. If you have such strong
feelings about liquor, you should have
even stronger feelings about the poison
of Communist propaganda.
A. MacGregor Aver.
I must join forces with Messrs.
Dawson and Griffith in criticizing The
Star for its stand on the Rosenberg ads.
The right of petition should not be
taken lightly, but in this case the
Commies in their inirnitable style, are
seeking to destroy the judicial and
legislative system by circumventing-
and with success they will be a little
closer to destroying the petitioning
right and the entire Government.
Our enemy is clever and vicious. we
cannot dilly daily with him much
longer. submit that The Star should
take look at reality.
