government offices are now
held by the men best qualified
to hold them. Most of these
men are neither Republican
nor Democratic. I do not think
that there will be any large
number of changes since the

HighwoyPIon

The Woman's Club of Chevy
Chase adopted a resolution yes
terday opposing plans for q pro-

Mrs. Douglas also pointed out
that women today have a great
influence on public opinion and

This and That

A large praying mantiS clung to
long fluoreScent light.
He was cool, and comfortable, and
seemed to be enjoying himself, in the
best insect fashion.
Many of these interesting insects fly
into downtown Office buildings.
Maybe the nantes Correct pluraD
are after various moths, also attracted
by the long lines of light.
They do best in gardens. They be-
long there, and find their best prey
there.
The praying mantis, in the form
usually seen hereabout. is a Chinese
insect.
It somewhat resembles large grass
hopper, but even a child can see at
glance that there is difference.
The great distinguishing thing is the
folded front arms.
1t is this attitude, as of prayer, that
gave the insects their familiar name.
They are all green, or green mingled
with russet. The combination tends to
make them almost invisible on small
branches and among leaves.
This invisibility serves them in a
food way, since smaller and unwary
insects simply do not see them until
too late.
It is not only the small insects. how
ever. that are caught.

that Tito has asked for as much as he has
which is much too much-only to give himself
good bargaining position in future negotia-
tionS with Italy. In the past he has proposed
that the Free Territory of Trieste be converted
into a YugoSlav-Italian condominium. That
proposal, though not acceptable to Rome is
considerably less sweeping than his latest one
and conceivably something like it could serve
as a basis for renewed bilateral talks if he is
prepared to modify his position for the sake
of peaceful and workable agreement.
At the moment, however, with Italy stand
ing pat on the 1948 nglo-French-A American
declaration, and with Yugoslavia making ex-
travagant claims, the outlook for such settle
ment seems bleak 1t is situation in which

1t is this knifelike appendage that
cuts through the prey.
There is probably no more ferocious
insect, and yet to a human being
watching it, the mantis seems alto

The eyes, in particular, have an
almost human appearance.
This may not be to the credit of
humanity. either, for the eye is clear.

intelligence that we are accustomed to
associate with the human eye, somehow.
We can recall picking up very large

Star Building several years ago.
Putting it into a box, we took it
home, to "Seed" the garden, since cats
had exterminated all the nantes there.

just as it would with a mouse, with
similarly disastrous results to the
victim.
The boxed mantis was placed on
rhododendron outside the dining room
window.
AS we moved away, the insect turned
it's eyes on us, and we could almost
hear it say, Hello, there!"
That is the sort of insect the praying
mantis is.

Gently experienced at the State De-
partment and high morale are simply
incongruities. Factors implicit in the
reduction-inforce process such as job
insecurity, frozen promotions, demo-
tionS and general unsettlement are the
very conditions that eat away at en-
ploye morale. It is only in the most un-
usual circumstances that an agency can
boast of high morale while at the same
time conducting Sizable reduction-in-
force program.
Employe morale at the State Depart
ment was perhaps in a less favorable
position to withstand the adverse eff
fectS of reduction-in- n-force program
than morale in other agencies, due to
the repeated attacks upon the State
Department that have consumed so
much of the time of several of our
elected representatives.
To allow for any miSquotations of
Gen. Smiths remarks on this occasion
it would perhaps be indulgent to sug-
geSt that he was expressing a hope
rather than fact in referring to high
morale at the State Department. If
Gen. Smith was correctly quoted, how
ever, it can only be remarked that he
has not read the recent reports of his
Foreign Service inspectors nor taken
the occasion to probe further than the
fifth floor of the new State Building.

Crack Down Now

To the extent that the four-percenter
revelations are cloud on the Eisenhower ad
ministration it is, as yet small one. But as
unhappy experience in the Truman regime
demonstrates, it can grow-and it will grow
unless there is vigorous and determined action
now to crack down on these operators.
There is no reconciling the testimony be-
fore the House Armed Services Subcommittee
of Warren L. Stephenson, who has some claim
to official Republican status, and Stanley
Bishop, business tpSter One of the two men
has perjured himself. Furthermore, the teSti-
mony invites the belief that some one in the
Navy Department has been leaking" conf
dental information.
AS long as anything of this sort is tolerated,
a basis for corruption, if not actual corruption,
will be present. The Attorney General says,
however that he is not going to tolerate it-that
he proposes to prosecute any one who has
violated the law. This is an admirable express
sion of sentiment, and 1t should be followed up
with prompt action.
