ministration's regime?
The new Russian dictator is not yet
accepted-witness the weeping" and
other signs coincidental to the passing
of the old. But the incipient shows
of new purgeS are evidence enough that
the new Russian regime intends to
quickly establish its power. What are
we doing-now-to drive wedges be-
tween Malenkov and the Russian peo-
pie? Between Malenkov and his own
lieutenants? Between Russia and her
satellites? Are we doing enough?
Does not "seizing the initiative"
mean doing something that will set
the enemy back on his heels? Our
dedication to freedom-if we mean it
must include an intolerance of the
slavery to which the Soviet peoples
are subject. To cherish freedom for
ourselves and to be unconcerned about
it elsewhere is-noW as alWays-to
practice hypocrisy.
3 Response to Russian peace moves as
temporary expedient may be all
right-so long as we drive hard bar
gains. But so long as we do no more than
respond to Russian moves-whether
for peace or for war-We ourselves will
never be the agent of this enemy S
destruction; for. though we possess the
potential for that destruction, we will
never bring it to bear where it is needed.

Those strange persons who want only

Or perhaps they manage to work up

Or pigeons.
Out in Indianapolis, they have started
an l1-month war on pigeons.
Fifty thousand pigeons are too many.

So they propose to massacre them

of course. but probably prefer to say
that they are going to dispose" of
them. Anyway one says it, it works

She did not exclaim, "Well, can I

The 'Mouthpieces'

The Stars campaign to reduce crime
in our city deserves the support and
gratitude of all good citizens You
have effectively shown that our high
crime rate is due not only to the
criminals. but also to their inadequate
prosecution and lax punishment by
our enforcement agencies. You have
cited specific examples and named
names.
But still you have failed to mention
one very important contributor to
/crime. You don't mention that while
lawyers make our laws administer and
enforce them, lawyers also aid, abet
and protect those who break the laws.
Most crimes are committed for money.
While crime may not always pay the
criminal, it always pays his lawyer.
It pays so handsomely that lawyers
who protect criminals are far more
prosperous than those who prosecute
them. Every gangster, racketeer and
robber, every one who seeks to escape
punishment uses the proceeds of his
crimes to hire a lawyer. This lawyer
will accept this money knowing where
it came from and knowing how it was
obtained, and he will exert all his
powers to acquit his client. Such law
yers are public enemies just as the
criminals are. They profit by crime,
and they keep criminals free to con-
tinue their crimes. Yet no list Of
causes of crime ever mentions the GRIM
inal lawyers.
Law is unique among the professions.

No, but he must think in some way.
Thinking, too, is part of nature. Man
finds it difficult to imagine thinking

is based on words. The animals, the
birds and the fishes, even the insects,
think, but certainly not with words.
Their thought is an integral part OF
them, based on observation, on action
and reaction.
This squirrel, looking for his van
ished food tray, was thinking after his
fashion.
He was trying his best to evaluate
the situation.
After he had looked both north and
south, he looked east and west, as any
one would.
He wanted to be sure that it wasn't
there.
After he had determined this. he
looked around again. and spotted the

Make Haste Slowly

The National Capital Planning Commits
sion has taken sound stand on pending bills
to create a Washington Metropolitan Area
transt-control authority. The commission has
urged that a comprehensive study of the
complex regional transit problem be made in
advance of any definite action to change the
existing regulatory setup. This is wise counsel.
Developing opposition to the Johnson and
Hyde measures indicates that caution should
be used in adopting reforms, however attractive
they may seem to be upon cursory inspection.
AS Chairman Lehman of the commission
pointed out in letter to the Senate District
Committee. the regional agency proposed by
Senator Johnson of Colorado and Representa-
tive Hyde of Maryland may or may not be the
best permanent solution of the problem" The
Star is among many organizations which are
convinced that some such regulatory agency
eventually will have to be established to control
interjurisdictional transit operations in this
area But, as the Senate committee is finding
out, opinions vary as to the precise form such
an agency should take how much authority it
should have and to what degree the several
Jurisdictions should have voice in its deci-
Sions. Virginia's State Corporation Commission
has decided to fight the Johnson bill vigorously
Rightly or wrongly, it regards the plan for
presidentially appointed commission as another
cate and encroach upon State regulation
which, in opinion. is detrimental to the
best interests of the public"
The State regulatory body indicated it
might approve joint Virginia Maryland
trict approach to settlement of interjuriSdic-
tional transit questions. The Star in the past
has suggested that consideration be given to
formation of Unconstitutional authority by
compact similar to the one which created the
Interstate Commission on the Potomac River
Basin. This would take more time, it is true,
but it would overcome at least some of the
objections of those who resent any new Federal
invasion of State regulatory functions.
Chairman Spencer of the District Public
Utilities Commission also has pointed to short
comings in the pending measures that would
adversely affect the District. One Virginia bus
line has challenged the constitutionality of
certain provisions of the legislation. Under the
circumstances, the National Capital Planning
Commissions warning against hasty action by
Congress is justified The commission urged
that any permanent change in the present
regulatory system be deferred until broad,
complete and high-level technical survey"
has been made. If anything is done in ad-
vance of such survey, it should be merely
a holding action" the commission stated
Congress would be we'll advised to make haste
