Not Misinterpreted'

The Star editorial, mot MlS1nter-
preted," of March II, seems to imply
that organizations affiliated with
churches" or individuals engaged in
religious activity cannot possibly be
suspect Of engaging in political activity
and, therefore, are immune from inves-
tigation.
In this connection, one is reminded of
that luminary of the Church of Eng
land, the Very Rev. Cred DEAN DR..
Hewlett Johnson, who openly proclaims
his solidarity with the aims of Russian
communism and has made several visits
to Russia to commune with his Commu-
mist comrades. One of these aims is
given in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia
for 1950-51, in the definition Of God as:
"A mythically invented personality.
Progressive materialiStic and scientific
opinion cannot be reconciled with faith
in God. One Of the highest duties
Of Soviet mans progressive education
is destruction of all survivals of religion
and faith in Cod" Every Sunday DR..
johnson desecrates his pulpit and
makes rnockery of Christianity. Yet
the church hierarchy says that he has
committed no ecclesiastical offense."
At least one local minister did not
think that the clergy is so sacrosanct
when the Rev. Keith T. Postlewaite of
Westminster Presbyterian Church said
ut is the Reds who are raising howl
about these Investigations. If q min
lister of the gospel is in line with that
group and advocates overthrow of the
American Government he should be in
vestigated."
Are there any undercover American
DR.. JohnsonS? Who knows?

Rover's Record

The outgoing United States District
Attorney expressed the opinion of all
of us when he said II think the choice
of Leo Rover as District Attorney is a
most fortunate one and happy one"
To get in my little bit about Mr.. Rover,
must say that when was special
agent in the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue., and Mr.. Rover was United States
District Attorney for the District of
Columbia, during the last Republican
administration, he would not present
case to a grand jury or allow same to
be tried in court unless the evidence
was collected honestly and fairly.
Judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers,
enforcement officers and even the
criminal element respected Mr.. Rover.
The cards always had to be played
on the top of the table with him.

United States Inspector.

highways made necessary by modern
conditions" Senator Bush explained.
Congress heretofore has allowed Fed
eral aid to State-owned toll bridges,
but never to toll roads. States them
selves now are beginning to look fondly
at the toll-road method. The recently
proposed 20O-mile, $200-million Vir-
GINA Interstate Turnpike which would
extend from just west of Washington,
D. c., to North Carolina provides an
excellent example OF the modern trend.
This project would roughly parallel
U. S. Highway l but would bypass such
congested centers as Fredericksburg
and Richmond, Va. It definitely is in
the planning stage. John j. Wicker,
jr., Richmond lawyer who is president
of the recently chartered Virginia In
terstate Turnpike Corp, has pointed
out that while the bonds would be pri-
vately held at the start, the common
stock would be owned by participating
communities and the State Highway
Commission, and the toll road would
actually become an fundamentally of
the State. Virginia law requires ap-
proval for such projects by the State
Highway Commission, which is meeting
tomorrow to consider the matter.

Betroying the People

In bitter and only thinly yelled attack
on President Eisenhower, Chairman Reed of
the House Ways and Means Committee has
accused those who oppose his tax reduction
bill of "betraying" the people. According to
Mr.. Reed, every candidate for Federal Office
Tin the last election) promised to give the
people, If elected, tax reduction" He added
that he is opposed to having the people "be
trayed" by individuals or political parties.
Mr.. Reeds position seems to be that this
shoe fits the President, and that he, Mr.. Reed,
is going to make him wear it. The President,
in his turn, says he never specifically prom
tsed tax reduction. Certainly he did not
promise tax reduction in the amount and at
the time called for by MIR. Reeds bill.
It probably is fair to say that General
Eisenhower, as a candidate, unduly encour-
aged hope of tax reduction if he should be
elected. Even if that is true, however, it does
not follow that his opposition to the Reed
bill is a betrayal of the people who elected him
In fact, there Is ample reason to believe that
the exact opposite is true.
Every one would like to have a reduction
in taxes. But, as the President has repeatedly
pointed out, a tax reduction would mean
reduction in revenues And as long as govern
mental expenses are greater than government
tai revenues, the purchasing value of the dollar
goes down and down.
It might be easier and politically more pop
ular at least in the short rum for the President
to advocate tax reduction. But If that were
done under prevailing circumstances, it would
mean further cheapening of the dollar. And
that would be the real betrayal of the people.

Lure of Postal PATRONAGE

It is not surprising that patronage hungry
Republicans are giving special attention to the
Post Office Department. Their resentment over
the way the Democrats took advantage of the
hybrid civil service-plus- politics system of
appointing more than $4,000 postmasters is
understandable The Republicans naturally want
finger in this pie as long as 1t lasts. However,
if Congress ever should adopt the recommen-
dalton of the Hoover Commission, this pie,
with its curious mixture of merit and patronage,
would be tossed onto the scrap heap-where It
belongs.
Technically, these postmasters are under
civil service. Applicants must take civil serv-
ice examinations to qualify for them There is
a gimmick in the appointment machinery,
however. The selection of one of the top three
on the examination list is made by the PreSi-
dent and is subject to Senate confirmation.
The final choice nearly always turned on po-
itical considerations. It is an understatement
to say that Republicans have been at dis
advantage in recent years under this selection
system.
task force Of the Hoover Commission
found that this patronage arrangement tended
to discourage applicants with excellent quail
fcations but no political influence. The eff
cheney Of the postal service Is bound to be
adversely affected by any appointment plan
winch places more emphasis on pontlcal Serv-
ice than on fitness to do the job. The COM
mission urged Congress to ''take the Post Office
Department out of politics" Former Post
master General Donaldson concurred in the
recommendation. But Congress- always reluc-
tant to relinquish any of its patronage privileges,
baked. It is too much to expect any change
in this congressional attitude merely because
a new party has come into power. The political
plums are too enticing.

Interpretation of Wilson's
Words Shrinks Sub Fleet

When Defense Secretary Will
son said recently that I'VE were
dumb enough to turn. over the
whole German submarine fleet
to the Russians" after World
War II, he did not mean we
actually had turned the whole
German submarine feet over to
the Russians. the Defense De-
partment explained today.
A Pentagon spokesman said
Mr.. Wilson used the word fleet"
to encompass a wide variety of
things when he dropped his
cryptic remark in an interview
with the magazine U. S. News
and World Report.
1T was loose use of the
word" the spokesman said. HE
did not mean just subs alone.
but also the submarine building
pens. those subs which had been
partially built and the hulls of
others as well as the technical
knowledge of their construction
and some of the German per-
SOnnel.
"All this furnished technical
aid to the Soviet which enabled
them to build up their present
formidable fleet"
A check at the Defense and
State Departments after Mr..
Wilson made his statement in
dicated Russia got only about
IS of the 483 U-boatS in the
German navy when the war
ended.
"Mr. Wilson had no intention
of leaving the impression that
he thought we had turned the
whole German submarine fleet
over to the Russians" the
keSman explained. "Of
course, strict Interpretation of
what he said would give that
impression.
But actually the ships We
turned over, plus the German
technical knowledge, without
doubt gave the Soviet a tremen-
dous boost which our Navy al
