catch to it: They sell foreign currency

Biggest bargain at the moment is
Argentine pesos. You can get them at
20 per cent of the official rate. The
trouble is, you have to visit Argentina
to spend them.
But French francs are not too bad

give you just the excuse you need to go

Quiet Not Restored

Six days after the riotouS protests began
against Communist rule in East Germany, the
SpokeSmen for Moscow are confeSsing that
''quiet is not yet entirely restored" Perhaps
with no greater clarity could they admit the
depth and breadth of this amazing civilian
revolt against police state of native puppets
backed by foreign guns.
For the disclosures of the weekend revealed
that this rebellion has in fact erupted in Sensi-
tive spots scattered from the Oder to the Elbe,
halting industrial production and ending in
several cases with the firing or destruction by
striking workers of their plants. The death toll
is now placed in the hundreds and the arrest
of thousands is still under way by flying squads
of Communist police, and by Soviet occupation
troops. Scores of mutinous towns and villages
remain under guard of the Russian military
but still quiet is not yet entirely restored"
1t has become the orthodox line of COM
munism to blame all evils upon American cap
italist warmakers" and western agents" That
It should be following this same line today is
not surprising, even though absurd in the face
of the country and spontaneous nature of
this passionate uprising. The Soviet guns may
succeed in the coming few days in restoring
the quiet of the pre-riot period but they
can not rub out the record of fury which has
been written in the past six days, or the causes
which prompted this outburst.

On the Burning of Books

President Eisenhower has now offered a
rational and realistic amplifcation to his ad-
monition, don't join the book-burners"
In his initial remarks on the subject at
Dartmouth College last week, the President
was taking an unequivocal position against
those disciples of ignorance and the closed mind
who seek to dispute facts by ignoring them, or
literally by burning the print in which they
are recorded. On the broadest basis of principle,
his admonition did not require application
1t happens, however, that this particular
controversy has arisen out of the question of
what books or what type of books, should be
placed in American Government-supported
libraries overseas. This overseas library system
was not set up for the dissemination of general
information and knowledge. 1t was set up,
instead as a channel for transmitting to foreign
countries picture Of American life and thought
lin the last analysis medium for encouraging
other peoples to become interested in and per-
haps to adopt some Of the qualities of what we
consider the best system of government and
society.
On the face of it. it would be an absurdity
to carry in such libraries books that advocate
the overthrow Of the American Government or

awhile one doesn't feel bad any more,

This is a good letter, and points up
a modern problem, not only for educa-
tors. and parents, but for every one.
AS for the social value of such mass
trips:
We asked Templeton Jones about
this, and he burst into ready laughter,
which came from about 40 years ago,
he said.
He recalls one memorable trip made
by his eighth-grade class at the John
Quincy Adams School. He believes that
Miss McWilliams, stern but beloved by
the entire class, was teacher and prin-
cipal, but he is not sure about that.
All he is sure of is that all the boys
wanted to 60 with Susy. Maybe that
was where the social adjustment came
in. for only one boy. Of course. got to
walk with Susy, and he wasn't young

Jones recalled, as if only yesterday.
the thrill Of only glance or smile
from Sue.
Many years later (2S, to be exact)
Susy walked into Jones office, and said,
Don't you remember me?" Jones did,
but time had had its way, with Susy,
and. Of course, with Templeton Jones.
He wouldn't have recognized her, at
all, and no doubt she would have passed
him by In . crowd.
Would that be social evolution?

that In open or subtle ways preach the doc
trines of communism very system with
which we are locked in theological conflict.
Such books have no rightful place In these
particular libraries.
The trouble is that book burning, once it
begins, is not apt to be discriminating in the
choice of books to be burned The American
people are at a disadvantage in not knowing
the precise terms of the State Department
directive, or the titles and authorship Of the
books chosen for removal without that knowl-
edge it is impossible to know whether the Site
Department is following the sensible policy
outlined by President Eisenhower or whether it
has become the victim of the sort Of panic that
starts q book bonfire.

First Things First

1t Is right that the Broyhill bill should come
before the House ahead of proposals for drastic
changes in the present system of regulating
transit operations in the Washington Metro
politan Area. First things should come first,
and the comprehensive study of regional trans
portation problems called for in the Broyhill
bill should precede any definite action to alter
the existing public-utility control setup.
OF course, it is yet possible that Congress
will put the cart before the horse by adopting
legislation to create an area-wide regulatory
agency before an adequate study has been made
of all phases of the difficult transit mess. This
would be an extremely risky course to take,
however The Johnson and Hyde bills providing
for an overall transit control body are the type
Of measures that might well emerge from the
proposed Broyhill inquiry. But it Is better to
approach such reform carefully and thought
fully, with due consideration to possible kinks
that might be eliminated by thoroughgong
study by an appropriate committee or COM
mission.
The JohnSon-Hyde approach is the direct
one of going ahead and setting up metropoli-
tan Area regulatory body and letting such in
quiries as Mr.. Broyhill proposes come later.
There is a great deal of support for the general
idea OF co-ordinating transit control through
an interjurisdictional agency. The Star was
among the first advocates of such plan. The
Star feels sure that such study as that which
the Broyhill bill would authorize would result
in the formation of a regional control agency
of some sort. But the step is too important to
take without sufficient consideration Of all the
complex angles involved. The Senate approved
johnson measure needs more study, for it has
at least one serious defect AS now drawn it
provides for three-member commission, ap-
pointed by the President. Neither Virginia nor
Maryland would have any hand in the selection
Of this agency and there is no assurance that
the President would choose members from
either of those States. The only requirement is
that the members be residents of the Metropol
itan Area. Virginia already has taken a strong
stand against this legislation although it favors
a general study of regional transportation
problems.
It would be far better to adopt a control
system of which the separate Jurisdictions in
volved approve and in which they are willing
to cooperate than to rush through a bill that
might be continuing source of conflict and
irritation in the area. An interjurisdictional
inquiry commission would have good chance
to develop an effective cooperative control
plan that would have the backing of all gov
ernmental units concerned. Unless there is such
backing, any regulatory agency will have to
tread a rocky path.

For Sale: Cash at Wholesale Prices

In most countries, however. transac-
tions may be made legally only at the
official rate set by the Government.
Thus, II you 60 to France and buy
francs at less than the legal rate of
exchange you are dealing in the black
market.
What makes such a market "black"
in one country and not in another is
simply that one country outlaws such
an exchange and another does not,
What Is q currency black market in
France, Italy. the United Kingdom and
some other places is "free market" in
the United States, Switzerland, Leban-
on, Tangiers. Uruguay and Hong Kong
and that's where the Deak people step
in.
I'VE buy money in Switzerland, the
United States or elsewhere at the free
rate and sell it for bit more than we
pay for it to take care Of our profit"
they tell you. "The cost to the buyer
is then still less than If he waited to 60
abroad before converting his dollars into
foreign currency"
The Deak firm is only one Of a num-
ber of foreign exchange brokers in the
United States. But its officials say that
so far as they know no other firm has
brought such service to the street
level on speciality basis.
Part Of the business is in remittance
work. Some one drops into the store
room at 1406 New York avenue NV.
and says: "I'd like to buy 1000 Turkish
pounds at the best buy can get, and
have you deliver them to my brother
in Ankara."
The customer pays out $3.50. and
gets a receipt. Deak then goes into
action and within about a week COM
pletes the transaction by air mail.
If the customer had bought draft for
1000 Turkish pounds at the official
rate, they would have cost him $357.50.
So he has made saving Of $107.50.
Thus by a simple transaction on the
free market is traditionally unstretch-
able dollar made to stretch when sent
abroad.
Most Of the firms customers who
want to stretch their dollars, however,
are would-be travellers. They either
buy all the currency they need and take
it along, or arrange to have 1t delivered
to them when they arrive abroad.
In some countries, exchange condi-

tions do not favor free market pur-
chases. In Italy, for example, you can
buy more lire for your American dollar
than you can buy in this country.
That's because Italy has pegged its
currency low in relation to the dollar.
For travel in some other countries,
however, free market purchases might
make the difference between whether
you can afford the trip or not.
If you're going to Argentina, for in
stance, you can buy 10000 pesos on the
free market here for $43O. In Argentina
they would cost you $718 at the official
rate.
In Spain. 10000 pesetas would cost
you $258 at the official rate. Here you
could buy them for $238.
Down Under, 100 Australian pounds
would cost you 1924. The free market
price here is $199.
One disadvantage Of buying money
here and taking it with you when you
go abroad is the possibility that it may
be stolen or lost. You can partly get
around that by arranging to have the
money delivered to you abroad. In such
a case. however, the saving is not quite
so great.
Another disadvantage is that some
countries won't permit you to bring in
with you any money other than dollars,
or will strictly limit what you may
bring along to a small amount The
United Kingdom limits the amount to

Due Process Works Both Ways

The Supreme Courts six-to-three ruling in
the Readers Digest murder case is welcome
departure from trend of reasoning that has
made it increasingly difficult for police to en-
force the criminal laws Dissenting Justices
Black, Frankfurter and Douglas view the de-
parture as undermining the constitutional safe
guards of individual freedom. But the majority
opinion, written by Justice Jackson, makes it
plain that these safeguards for the innocent are
in danger of falling into disrepute if they
become mere technical loopholes for the escape
of the guilty" He summed up succinctly the
theory on which the important decision was
based: "The people of the State are also
entitled to due process of law"
The court upheld the conviction in New
York of three participants in the fatal holdup
of Readers Digest money truck on April 3,
1850, near Pleasantville, New York. The three
were sentenced to death for the killing Of
messenger employed by the magazine Two of
the defendants, after protracted questioning by
the police signed confessions to the crime, in
eliminating the third defendant. The defense
attorneys charged that the confessions were
extorted by force and therefore were invalid.
The trial court admitted the confessions after
police had denied that force or threats of force
had been used, but left to the jury the decision
as to whether to accept them as evidence or not.
The defendants did not take the stand to
make direct charges of third-degree treatment.
The court, on this point, commented: "Of
course, these confessions were not voluntary in
the sense that petitioners wanted to make them
or that they were completely spontaneous, like
confession to priest, lawyer or pSychia-
trist But in this sense no criminal confession
is voluntary. Cooper's and STEMS confessions
obviously came when they were convinced that
their dance was over and the time had come to
pay the fiddler" The evidence showed that
police had built strong case against the trio
before the confessions were obtained-strong
enough to persuade the prisoners that denial
would be useless.
But the really significant part of the
courts opinion came toward the end, when the
majority held that even if the confessions had
been forced, the convictions still should stand.
AS the diSsenters stressed, the court in the past
has reversed convictions in which invalid con-
fessions were admitted, regardless of other
evidence. However, the majority declared they
could not see "the slightest Justification for
reading the 14th amendment to deny the
State Of New York the power to hold these
defendants guilty on the record before US.
We are not willing to discredit constitutional
doctrines for protection of the innocent by
making of them mere technical loopholes for
the escape Of the guilty" It is helpful to have
the Supreme Court announce this sound con-
cept of law enforcement at a time when the
tendency of many courts has been TO give
more consideration to the criminals rights than
to those Of society.

FALLS CHURCH, Va.
Dear Sir:

"Dear Sir:
Il agree heartily with your opinions
on coffee drinking. The modern en-
phasis on group activity, people doing
things in herds together, is not good.
It can be irritating and degrading. In
high school and even in college the
authorities were constantly plugging
the advantages of team sports as en-
couraging teamwork, presumably a fine
thing in itself. It was never clear to
me where the advantage lay.
Some people like to be part Of
crowd that is doing something. This Is
certainly their privilege. But when at
to be that way, 1t smells of the activi-
ties Of dictatorS.
There is tendency to mistake o
necessity for a virtue. In modern life
many business and productive activities
are so complicated that they must be
performed by large organizations of
people to be accomplished at all. Most
scientific and engineering work is done
by groups (my own held). But I have
noticed for several years that the larger
the group, the less ef1icient it is. Like
conferences. The real ideas come from
individuals. Organizations that get too.
large begin to decay. The day Of the
individual contribution to the arts and
sciences is not passing away, in spite
Of the opinions Of some experts. # 1t
does pass away, 1t will be because Of
pressure from some artificial source.
