Good Luck, Mr.. Ambassador

For more than a quarter of century,
Mike" McDermott has been the career Am
bassador" of the State Department to the
American people, He has now been nominated
Ambassador in the more conventional sense,
namely, to be chief of the American diplomatic
mission in the Republic of Ell Salvador. The
hundreds Of correspondents who have dealt
with Mike in the years past have no doubts
in their minds as to the high quality OF service
he will give to his new assignment.
Mr.. McDermott's story is in the best tradi-
ton of public service. He entered Government
employment in 1917 as War Department clerk
and joined the State Department in 1920. He
became chief departmental spokesman to the
press in 1924, and has served in this capacity
under various titles ever since. Republican and
Democratic administrations alike have entrusted
to him the responsibility of being the daily
interpreter to the American people Of our
foreign policies.
Among the II Secretaries of State whom
Mr.. McDermott has served, one of his longest
and closest associations was with Cordell Hull,
chief architect Of the good neighbor" policy
with Latin America. 1t is appropriate now that
Mr.. McDermott's first service in representing
his country abroad should be In Latin Ameri-
can capital where an understanding and ap-
probation Of the good neighbor" doctrine can
most constructively be applied.

CoroIInry of Addicts Bill

The proposed legislation for disqualification
Of narcotics addicts in Washington is q step
nearer passage as a result of the approval by
a Senate District Subcommittee. But United
States Attorney Rover has made a timely dis
closure that additional legislation is needed to
make the plan workable.
Under the HouSe-paSSed bill, addicts could
be compelled to undergo treatment at Federal
institution, such as the one at Lexington,
Kentucky. Mr.. Rover pointed out to the sub
committee, however, that Public Health Service
hospitals at present have limited authority to
accept drug victims for treatment. They must
be volunteers or persons convicted of criminal
violations. An involuntary non criminal addict
could not be given "the cure"
Chairman Barrett Of the Senate District
Judiciary Subcommittee has said he would in
troduce in the Senate the corollary legislation
necessary to extend the authority of the Federal
hospital administration. Representative Miller,
sponsor of the addicts treatment bill, will in
troduce the additional measure in the House.
There should be no difficulty in obtaining con-
gressional sanction, for the Federal authorities
already have offered their cooperation with
the District in the treatment plan. When the
legislative processes have been completed, Wash
ington for the f1rSt time will be In q position
to deal effectively with the addict problem-one
that impinges on the crime problem as well.

Only One Drawback

The rowing regatta on the Potomac River
left pleasant memories in every respect but
one. Everything was perfect for the thrilling
water show except the river itself. Edwin L.
Cotton, director of the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin, put it mildly
when he said that our polluted stream is
"hardly the most desirable place to entertain
out-of- -townerS."
The commission is giving active leadership
to a movement to clean up the river for health,
recreational and fish-conservation purposes.
The organization heartily indorses the proposal
that the sprint races be made an annual event
on the Potomac. But it warns that much more
cleaning up will have to be done before national
regatta authorities can become enthusiastic
over Washington as a regatta locale. Raw
sewage entering the river from both shores
makes the river both unsightly and malodor-
ous." Mr.. Cotton pointed out in a statement
There are good prospects of a change for
the better within the next few years. The
degree Of treatment for Washington and Mary
land sewage will be substantially improved with
the completion in the near future of the Dis
trict's new treatment facilities at Blue Plains
On the Virginia side good progress is being
made toward joint solution Of sewage disposal
