Economy or Security?

The great bulk OF the savings in the Ell
senhower defense budget are to be made at
the expense of the Air Force.
The Truman budget" asked $167 billion
for air power during the coming fiscal year
That has been cut S. billion, so that the re-
quest now stands at SILT billion.
This means two things. First, the air
power building program once again is to be
slowed down or stretched out. And in the end
we are going to have less air power than had
been planned Instead of 143 air groups
formerly considered the minimum needed to
insure our security-we are going to settle for
substantially fewer groups. And instead Of
reaching the planned minimum strength in
1856, the new and lower minimum will be
reached at some later date.
This is being done in the name of economy.
But 1t is also a gamble with the security Of
the country. Even with the cuts that have
been proposed, the Federal budget cannot be
balanced in the next fiscal year. This Is a
serious matter, for a continuing Federal deficit
means a weakened national economy. The
taking of an unwarranted security risk, how
ever, is also serious matter. Perhaps the
President has some information, not available
to the public at large which encourages him
to believe that this gamble with the security
of the country is justified. If this is not the
case, however; If the danger to us from the
threat of Soviet aggression remains as grave
as it appears, and, indeed as grave as General
Eisenhower repeatedly stated it to be before he
entered the White House, then too great risk
is being taken. If we are reduced to choice
between economy and security, it Is foolhardy
to say that economy Is to be preferred
Presumably the appropriate congressional
committees will insist on a full explanation Of
the justification for this retreat from the air
power program. And unless the retreat can
be justified, Congress ought to insist that 1t is
more important to survive than to save S.
billion in the immediate future.

Letters to The Star

In view Of the situation now devel-
oplng, hope both national parties will
step aside In favor Of the AIM this
year and that the latter will choose as
one Of its school board candidates Har-
ley Williams with whom have differed
violently in the past but who con-
slider a man Of integrity and great
ability in school matters. With two
way race. we can eliminate political
quackery from our school system.
Charles w. Carter.
The membership of the Northern
Virginia Builders Association strongly
urges the Arlington County Board to
refrain from increasing existing taxes
in any fashion.
We realize that funds must be pro-
vided to meet increased debt service
costs, proposed increased teachers SAL
aries and other essential needs. Never
theless, we are of the opinion there are
many sources for economies in both
the County and School Board budgets
which could be effected to meet this
problem.
Providing fair, equitable and COM
parable teachers salaries, of which we
are in favor, cannot be effected by
economies in operations; then we sug-
gest that consideration be given to a

More Delay at Ponmunjom

With the resumed negotiations at Panmun-
JON now entering upon their third week, the
Communists continue to display an evasiveness
that mockS their profeSSed desire for an early
Korean truce. Although General Harrison, the
chief United Nations delegate, has warned them
that time is fast running out in these discus
sions, they seem to find delay so useful to their
own purposes that the U. N. may be obliged
soon to fix deadline for agreement-or else.
At the moment, the dawdling revolves
around the Communists failure to clarity their
eight-point proposal on exchanging prisoners of
war. The main provisions of this proposal are
Cd that POWs refusing to be returned home be
handed over to the custody of a neutral" five
nation repatriation commission made up of
Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, CzechoSlovakia
and India (2) that these five nations bring ele-
mentS of their armed forces to Korea to carry
out their custodial responsibilities; 90 that Red
representatives be allowed four months in which
to explain" to the recalcitrant captiveS why
they should agree to repatriation; and (4 that
the fate Of those declining to agree be decided
at the political conference scheduled to begin
three months after truce becomes effective.
It is obvious, of course, why the U. N. nego-
tiatorS have asked long series of questions in
an effort to find out just how the Communists
would expect their proposed commission to
1unCClOn WnOlly apart 1TOLl Tie 1dCC OIAdL
there is reason to doubt the workability of such
a Set-up-particularly because of the completely
non-neutral character of satellite Poland and
Czechoslovakia- thing calls for a precise
explanation in number of vital respects Who,
for instance, would command the armed forces
of the five member nations? Would each op-
crate independently OF the other with the
POW camps divided among them, or would they
have single overall commander? And how
would he be chosen? Would the agency arrive
at decisions by a genuine majority vote, or
could it be paralyzed by a veto procedure?
Further, aside from the cumbersome me-
chanics involved in the commission idea, the
U. N. has every reason to keep on asking the
Communists why they should have four>months
in which to try to talk the balky POWs into
returning home. There is every reason, too,
why they should be firmly resisted in their pro-
poSal to leave it up to post-armistice political
conference to determine the future of those
prisoners who persist in rejecting repatriation

tivity. These are matters that can be settled

A Personal Inspection Advisable

Chairman Wilson of the House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee on the District Budget aptly
summed up testimony by witnesses with the
comment that they had made a very good case"
for the Children's Center near Laurel, Maryland.
He expressed the hope that he could visit some
of the outmoded institutions which the new
center is designed to replace. A visit would be
enlightening to any member of Congress If a
congressional tour of the old, overcrowded
structures could be arranged, the chances of
approval Of the pending budget items would be
greatly improved.
The most important item is the $3.7 million
allotted toward construction of new Industrial
Home School for Colored Children at the center.
OF this amount 81 million is earmarked for
starting construction with the advent Of a
new fiscal year, on July /. More than $50 boys
and girls now scattered in various inadequate
quarters would be housed in the new institution.
Some Of the boys are temporarily housed in the
disgracefully dilapidated buildings on Loughboro
road from which delinquent girls were moved
recently after series of riotous outbreaks
there. These girls are now housed in temporary
facilities of the Industrial Home School at
Blue Plains There are 124 delinquent boys also
in this school, which is so overcrowded that
whenever the Juvenile Court orders another
juvenile committed an incumbent boy must be
Ie1edS6Q CO Nldke TOOu 1OI 1I1Ll LII dUu4G1OlIS
there are 80 boys and girls farmed out to
private institutions and 100 at the National
Training School for Boys who should be in the
Industrial Home School. Not counted in the
total which should be under supervision are 80
delinquent colored girls who are at large simply
because there is no place to commit them.
That is distressing situation for any
up-to-date community, and it is a particularly
shameful condition to exist in the Capital of
the Nation. Progress is being made on ex-
pansion of the Laurel center, fortunately, but
unless funds continue to be spent on construc-
ton, correction of the existing bad conditions
will be seriously delayed. To really understand
how bad the conditions are, one must see them
for himself That is why tour of inspection
by members of Congress would be helpful to
them in deciding the fate of the $37-million
Industrial Home School item in the new budget.

He was later personally fined $40 1000,
and his union $3,500,000. by the late
Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough,
who found him guilty of civil and crimi-
nal contempt of court. But the leonine
head OF Mr.. Lewis, who only narrowly
missed being sent to jail, was bloody
yet unbowed. His speech to the court
was fustian, if defiant. IT cannot, by

Mr.. Lewis declared in a funereal vox
humana defamation.
Mr.. Lewis sarcasm is grandiloquent,
urbane and seldom earthly. The late
President Roosevelt, whom Mr.. Lewis,
a lifelong Republican, supported in
1886 only to disavow in 1910, was
among the victims of the dour Welsh
mans scholarly shafts. During a
press conference, the President cribbed
the Shakespearean phrase, "a plague
on both your houses" referring to
the 1886 labor-Tnanagement strife then
current.
When he heard of Mr.. Roosevelt's
remark, the union chief barked: 1T
III behooveS one who has supped at
labor'S table and who has been shell
tered in labor's house to curse with
equal fervor and fine impartiality both

Labor. with whom John L. Lewis had

Lewis who called former Vice President
John Nance Garner labor batting,
poker-playing, whisky drinking, evil
old man" in 1889 when the Texan tried
to modify New Deal legislation.
The whitening wit of the 23O-pound
behemoth is legendary. Mr.. Lewis once
crossed swords with Pat Hurley of New
Mexico, Secretary of War under Presi-
dent Hoover and wartime United States
Ambassador to China, during an NRA
coal-industry hearing: Mr.. Hurley, who
frequently represented mining interests
during the early New Deal days, was
at one time in his youth a miner.
Mr.. Lewis. facing Mr.. Hurley at the
hearing, glowered and said: 1T is a
source of pride to see member of the
UNIV go out into politics and make a
noted name for himself. But it is a
matter of profound sorrow to see a
man who has made such a name betray
the union of his youth for 30 lousy
pieces of silver"
AS Mr.. Hurley writhed alphabetically
in his chair, John Llewellyn Lewis
turned to the stenographer and said in
a stage whisper. 1T seems the gentle

Brituin's Local Vote

Although the Labor Party has scored sweep
ing gains in the local elections just held
throughout Britain, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and his Conservative government
are not particularly worried. This is so because
there is little reason to believe that the results
reflect significant national trend back in a
leftward direction.
Thus, despite the fact that the Labor Party
has gained AIT seats in various city and town
councils the Conservatives-who have been the
biggest losers in this vote-comfort themselves
with the thought that they won similar VIC
tory in 1949 but were nonetheless beaten ma
tionally in 1850. Among British politicians, as
a matter of fact, these local elections have
seldom been regarded as a reliable measure
of country wide sentiment toward the central
government.
Two other facts are reassuring to the Con-
servatives. The first is that well under 40 per
cent of the British electorate voted in this local
test, whereas between 10 and 80 per cent can
be counted upon to cast ballots in national
election. The second fact is that polls of public
opinion indicate that the Churchill government
Is gaining in countrywide popularity at the
expense of the Laborites who have been weak
ened internally by Aneurin Bevans rebelious
faction.
In the circumstances, it is not surprising
that the Conservative Party has taken calm
and almost complacent view of its local losses.
Although the Laborites, in keeping with time
honored political custom, have naturally hailed
the returns as harbinger of victory for them
selves in the next national election, they GER
tainly have no ground for unrestrained
optimism.

Illuminating Night Warfare.


War at night still is major tactical
problem.
In darkness, armies largely are de-
modified except for commando raids
and the like, although the way to keep
them fighting all the time was devel-
oped but never used during the last
war. Maj Gen. j. F. c. Fuller, British
military expert. reveals in the oficial
journal of the United States ArYnor
Association.
1.-THE answer" he says, "was the CDI.
tank fitted with a powerful protector
OF special design emitting fan-shaped,
flickering beam Of light which illumi.
mated wide field and dazzled the eye.
The protector was protected in such
way that it could not be put out of
action by anything less than q direct
hit with a shell that could penetrate
five inches Of armor."
During the war. Gen. Fuller reveals
two CID brigades were organized in
England and two armored groups, each
OF three battalionS, in the United States.
1t was not. however, until August, 1914,
that the first outfits were landed in
France. They never were moved for.
ward from their Decentralization camps.
But the idea Of turning night into
day. says Gen. Fuller, still offers
boundless possibilities. the most obvious
being to put blitzkrieg into pajamas.
If in the last war French generals were
paralyzed by the German tanks in broad
daylight, what would have been their
state of mind had it been possible for
the latter to operate even more freely
during the night. A solution of the
problem of how Russian front can be
penetrated and its rear services thrown
into panic becomes apparent"
With his weapon, he reveals. the field
over which an attacker advances is
brilliantly Illuminated. All the defender
is able to see is a wide expanse Of
dazzling light which obscures every
thing behind 1t and which is so brilliant
that it makes aimed fire by eye i'm
possible.

Urey Submits Theory
On First Life Forms
Complex Molecules Existed
When PIonet Was Formino
By Thomas R. Henry

Life may have been starting on an
unfinished earth.
Complex molecules of carbon and
hydrogen were present in the atmos-
phere while the outer 60 miles or more
of the planet was accommodating, DR..
Harold c. Urey of the University Of
Chicago has reported to the National
Academy Of Sciences here.
Current theories have maintained
that this mantle was formed at ex-
tremely high temperatures. This has
been considered necessary to account
Tor the abundance of certain elements.

Of gasSeS. but only at extreme tempera-

Quite to the contrary, says DR.. Urey,
the crust must have been relatively
cool-cool enough for the accumulation
Of water into primitive oceans. All the
vital elements. he points out. would be
soluble In water seeping from the in
terror to the surface.
On the other hand some elements
which are just as volatile, such as f1uo-
rine. and could have been expected in
large amounts in the primitive gasses.
are not sufficiently abundant to support
this hypothesis.
If the forming earth had oceans, DR..
Urey holds. it can be assumed to have
had an atmosphere in which simple
compounds Of carbon and hydrogen
were present and both these highly re-
active elements would have formed
compounds with others present In water
and rocks.
With such combinations going on It
