The record, however, is not complete with
out mention of the society's summer camp,
library parent counseling Office and consulta-
ton clinics. When everything is taken into
account, it may be wondered how so relatively
small budget as $4,000 is sufficient to main
tain the work. In fact the fund should be
oversubscribed. All friends of children are
invited to contribute, so that the progress
already made may be accelerated. These
youngsters, handicapped by cerebral palsy, need
and deserve everybodys help.

Koreu Peace TuIks

In our early days we were warned by
Washington and Jefferson to avoid the
endemic feuds of Europe, but that ad-
vice has been ignored twice in this CEN
tury. And we have found in connection
with our last venture, that it is one
thing to get into European brawl and
quite another thing to get out Of it.
Now, since we have injected ourselves
or been thrust into world affairs, we
find that, as Grote said Of Athens, we
are pushed around in our domestic af-
fairs more by foreigners and foreign
nations than by ourselves or our own
interests. We are told that we can't do
this and we can't do that because some
foreign peoples will not like it; so, we
find ourselves trying to ride seven
horses each going in a different direc-
ton and with more or less normal re-
suits.
What am coming to is this: The
Reds are again talking Of an armistice.
Why. at this time? The same question
should have been posed when they
broached the subject the first time. The
first approach was made because the
Nationalists were striking up through
and taking big hunk of Southern
China, of which we heard little, and it
was to hold the Sword of Damocles
over the heads of the Nationalists that
the Reds opened up this talk at the
most unpropitious time for us and the
Nationalists. They continued the talks
as long as it looked like the Nationalists
might need their whole opposition, and
discontinued them when they had sue
Ceeded in soaring off or diScOuraging
the NationaliStS.
Now the Nationalist again, it is un-
derstood, are striking into Southern
China, and making preparations to at
tack here and there on the Coast, with
some hope of success. And we now
find the wiley Reds beginning to talk
peace, as before.

Rule by Majority

The question Of statehood for
Hawaii has probably been delayed by
the provision Of the Constitution which
requires two Senators from each State
regardless of population. That clause
resulted from compromise which was
never satisfactory, and the problem it
failed to solve has been growing worse
every year.
One purpose in providing for two
Senators from each State was to relieve
the smaller states from fear of domi-
nation by the larger. But the original
13 States did not differ so much in
population. The 1890 census shows
Virginia the most populous with TAI, $40
and Delaware least with 59,O96. Cor
responding figures for 1850 are: New
York 14.830,1 1872 and Nevada 160,083.
At present Is of the States with SO
Senators and population of 28,828, ,9O4
can control the Senate in which the
other % States with 121 ,426,075 persons
have As Senators. It is not rule by
majority when a group of 121 million
can be blocked by 20 million. A ma
jority of better than four to one can
be oveyruled by the minority. Now to
add Hawaii Of half million population
would increase the dominance of the
large States by the small.
The solution should not be to with
hold statehood from Hawaii, but to
delay IT. until the enactment of an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
viding for Senators according to the
population Of each State. but on a
scale that would limit the total number
Of Senators sufficiently. .,

For Orderly Rote-Mokinq

Congressional concern over the prospect of
another increase in transit fares in the District
is justified. All of the customers of the Capital
Transit Company undoubtedly share that con-
cern. But popular dislike for higher fares
and resentment over the surpluS-d draining pol
icies of the CTC management should not be
permitted to interfere with the regular and
orderly processes of handling public utility
rate cases in Washington.
Congress provided a regular and orderly
way of dealing with transit fare and service
problems when it created the District Public
Utilities Commission and vested in it authority
to regulate transit and other public utilities
in the District. The system by and large has
worked well through the years. It is true that
legislation is pending to divest the P. u. c. of
regulatory authority over transit operations and
to transfer responsibility to q new regional
agency. However, it may be a long time before
such legislation is enacted and put into effect.
AS long as the transit field remains under
supervision of the District P. U. c., it has
the duty of carrying out its fare-hxing func-
tons without regard to political or other
preSsureS
Over the week end numerous statements
issued from the Capitol urging the P. U. C.
to suspend it's usual rate-making procedures
in connection with the fare-raise application
OF Cne CdplCal transit company. some OF Lne
comments were tantamount to warning to
the commission against taking up the fare
petition in advance Of the proposed congress
sional investigation of Capital Transit. But no
such investigation even has been authorized
by Congress to date. When and if it is au-
thorized, it probably will be many months
before the study can be completed, assuming
that Congress wants thorough, impartial job
done. The findings may have little or no
relevancy to the pending fare case.
The P. U. c. should not be high h-pressured
by Congress into changing its routine in the
transit fare case, merely because there is q
public outcry-with considerable Justification"
over the melon splitting habits of the Wolfson
management of the company It should be al
lowed to proceed independently with its own
investigation Of the fare situation, while Con-
gress goes ahead with its own inquiries as it
may see fit to do. Any other course would
imperil the prestige and authority Of the P. u c.
as Washington's legal rate regulating agency.

French Communist Worries

The proposed return to Paris OF Maurice
7,horaz French Communist leader who has had
a lengthy convalescence in Moscow from
paralytic stroke draws attention to the cur
rently disrupted state of his party IN France.
81 From postwar peak of 18o, the party has
dropped to 100 members and fellow travellers III
the National Assembly. Several OF It's leaoerS
either have been expelled or are reported on the
verge of deserting the card-carrying ranks.
During Thorez's long absence, the party has
been run by committee headed by Jacques
Duclos but its strategy of opposing French re-
armament and the construction OF American
military facilities in the country has amounted
to nothing more than a minor obstruction.
While loss of the party's popular strength
is attributed to domestic political and economic
factors the division and approach to panic IN
the leadership are blamed very largely upon
some of the things which have happened 10
high-ranking Communist figures in other coun-
tries Among these has been the anti-Semitic
drive which has emerged in the Moscow propa-
ganda line, and particularly the purge of the
Jewish Communist leaders in Czechoslovakia.
Prior to his illness, Thorez was dynamic
and effective leader of the party in France.
Observers OF the French political scene consider
it doubtful that he has the vitality now to heal
the breach in the top ranks, at least without
purging some of the waverers and undertaking
a rather lengthy rebuilding operation. This
does not mean, of course, that the party is ceas-
ing to be strong political factor-its bloc Of
deputies can always find some other opposition
group with which to unite in voting and it al
ways attracts q large protest" following in
general elections. It does appear to mean how
ever, that the popularity Of communism in
France Is currently causing more concern to
Moscow than to Paris.

Civil Service Shift

With the appointment of George M. Moore
to replace James M. Mitchell as member OF
the Civil Service Commission, the reorganiza-
ton Of that important personnel agency has
been advanced a step further. That is reas-
Suring to department heads, in need Of guidance
from the new commission during the trying
transitional period attending the change in
administrations.
The commissions loss Of Mr.. Mitchell, an
able personnel administrator, Is offset, for
tunately, by the naming of Mr.. Moore,
recognized authority on civil service matters.
Mr.. Mitchell was picked by President Eisen-
hover to be Deputy Assistant Secretary OF
Defense in charge Of military manpower prob
lens. Mr.. Moore is qualified by long experience
in the civil service field to I'LL the Mitchell
vacancy He has studied the merit system from
within and without. His inside look was OBJ
tanned during his services as an investigator for
the Civil Service Commission and as a special
assistant to the Attorney General. He served
also as chief Investigator of the Byrd Commit
tee on Non-essential Government Expenditures
and of the Senate Judiciary Committee. For
five years he was chief counsel Of the House
Civil Service Committee and more recently was
adviser to Chairman Carlson of the Senate
Civil Service Committee.
President Eisenhower now has completed
the job of picking the Republican members Of
the commission-Mr. Moore and the new chair
man, Philip Young, being Republicans. The
law requires that the member named to sue
ceed Miss Frances Perkins as the third member
of the agency must be a Democrat. Miss Perkins
will continue in Office until her successor is
appointed. There are number Of candidates
for this post. Once the new membership of the
commission is complete, the agency will be able
to get down to the business Of advising the
President on numerous personnel problems
awaiting top-level decision. Under the new
setup, Chairman Young has close liaison with
the White House in his role as chief adviser
to the President on civil service operations and
policies. This new relationship recommended
by the Hoover Commission, should prove bene-
1cial both to the White House and to the merit
system as whole.
