Merit in Big Three Meeting

The plan for Big Three meeting, probably
in Bermuda In June, has obvious merit-either
as prelude to a later Big Four conference
which would include Soviet Russia, or simply
as an opportunity for the three leading Western
powers to discuss jointly their mutual problems
and their differences.
At no time since World War II has there
been so much uncertainty, so much questioning
among the Big Three as to their exact attitude
toward each other and the exact course that
they should follow together on numerous issues
The change in administration and behavior in
Soviet Russia has created doubts about the
gravity of the Communist menace in Europe
and has tended to reduce the vigor of defense
planning. The prolonged war and deadlocked
truce talks in Korea, plus differences over Red
China, have caused criticism on both sides of
the Atlantic. French troubles in Southeast
Asia and in North Africa have plagued the Paris
government, and left it teetering between want
ing more outside assistance and fearing the
consequences of outside Intervention. Britain
is resentful of what is happening to it in the
Middle East, and fearful of what new American
policy in that area may develop. Each country
has economic problems of its own-the fall of
the Mayer cabinet in France resulted directly
from such cause-and changes in American
policies of foreign economic aid are worrying
both of the other governments.
If Big Four meeting is to be held, many
of these issues among the Big Three will take
on added Importance. Some of them may be
resolved more easily through round-table con-
versations in Bermuda than through trans
atlantic exchanges in which spokesmen without
responsibility are so prone to participate. The
obvious defense against the Soviet technique of
encouraging dissension among the Western
powers is to establish united front on f1rmer
ground than ever. There will be opportunity
to do that in the meeting now being arranged.

police action and not q war; would
be exempt from recall to active duty.
But those with IL months active service
since September Is. 1910, are liable for
II months additional service. In other
words, those who subsidized their own
medical education and had no exemp-
ton in real war are denied i'm
munities and exemptions extended
those with records to the contrary.
Why should this older group of vet
erans be compelled again to uproot
their practices and go into a second
tailSpin of insolvency, debt and painful
economic rehabilitation?
But it is the concealed inequity which
I as a father condemn most bitterly.
This whole compromise between our
ANA and the Pentagon is predicated on
conspiracy to abandon or sharply re-
duce medical care for military de-
pendents. Who are the principal
benefciaries of this sabotaged program
Of dependency medical care? They are
the flower of our youth under orders
to die to defend and preserve the dom
inant majority who remain civilians.
For every youth called several are ex-
empted. Wisely or unwisely, many Of
these youngsters marry. AS a doctor
know of no way to command celibacy,
simply because a man happens to be
a soldier AS Christian recommend
marriage in preference to promiscuity.
And once married believe in extend
ing every aid and encouragement to
make it an enduring success. But will
it be a success if we deny these young
sters adequate dependency care for
their wives and children? Will we
fathers force birth control upon a
soldiers marriage by punitive eco
nomics?
I contend both our ANA and Con-
gress should do little more homework
before they extend the doctor draft
bill.

Bishop Mccormick

Catholic University was Patrick J. Nc
Cormick's life. The first of its graduates to
become its rector, he spent As of his 72 years in
its service. With the exception of the period
between 1906 and 1910 when he was superin-
tendent of the parochial schools of Hartford in
his native Connecticut, he gave all of his adult
career to study and teaching in Washington.
A professional educator of educators he made
constructive use of his position in the Nations
Capital to influence the whole field Of American
culture. He was editor Of the Catholic Educa-
tional Review, president Of the Catholic Educa-
ton Press and Of the Catholic University of
America Press a contributor to the Catholic
Encyclopedia and to Catholic pedagogical
periodicals, the author Of a. standard history Of
education and many smaller yet still important
texts.
Dr. McCormick's honors were recognitions
of his talents and achievements in the democ-
ratization of learning. His gradual elevation
to the administrative leadership of Catholic
University was a continuing reward of merit
He earned each step in his progress toward the
D.. rectorShip. The same observation applies to
his nomination to be domestic prelate to Pope
Plus XII in 1929 and his selection to be titular
bishop of Atenia and auxiliary bishop of the
archdiocese of Washington in 1850. He rose in
the church as the great academic center to
which he was devoted increased in useful power.
His neighbors in the local community
esteemed him highly. Bishop Mccormick had
gifts of personality which contributed to his
popularity. He was handsome, stately man,
possessing beautiful manners and a friendly
sympathetic attitude toward people Of every
class and condition. His value to Washington
and to the country beyond viii not be lost In
his death. The example he set is an enduring
endowment not merely of Catholic University
and the Washington archdiocese but Of the
entire Nation.

Out Of Character?

In The Star of May IA Charles E.
Tracewell wrote on "Lodgings-$2.40
per week."
When he writes on nature he's in his
proper element; whenever he deviates
he becomes annoying. Why hold up as
an example one or two eccentric people
who ride all day and night on the buses
as typical Of the vast majority who are
in truth only too eager to get off the
crowded and noisome buses as quickly
as possible?
A very wealthy elderly woman would
frequent Marshall Fields store dressed
in the same costumes she wore as
young girl Would Tracewell therefore
condemn the entire community?

De GosperIs Political Hand

The approach of Italys general elections
in June provides an opportune time for Premier
De Gasperi to point with pride to the political
and economic progress of his country in the
postwar years. Significantly, with neo-Fascist
party beginning to display some strength, he
has chosen to make direct comparisons with
the state of things as they were in the Musso-
lini era.
In his bill of particulars, the Premier laid
first emphasis on several of MusSolini's favor
ite projectS-the reclamation of the Pontine
Marshes, the building of roads, installation of
telephone facilities and water works, ownership
of motor vehicles and various other projects
by which public benefit can be measured.
Land reclamation in the Pontine area,
lying between Rome and Naples, now covers
more than 10 million acres as against 6.5
million acres in the whole period from 1870
through 1889. In the past eight years three
times as much acreage has been recovered for
useful purposes as was the case during 20 years
of Fascist administration. Road building in
Southern Italy alone exceeds today the amount
done in the entire country during fascism's 10
best years, 1928 to 1888. In 1888, only third
of the 5000 municipalities in Italy had tele-
phone service; now all have it.
Wartime destruction in Italy was estimated
at $160 billion, equal to about one-third of the
national wealth. Reconstruction is virtually
complete and national production today stands
at 100 per cent of its prewar level.
On the political stage, the De Gasperi gov
ernment has comparable cause for satisfaction.
Although the Communists and leftist Socialists
are stronger in Italy than in any other Euro
pean country outside the Iron Curtain, they
were defeated in previous postwar election tests
and Italy has become a steadfast member of
the Western community. Premier De Gasperi
has been one of the staunchest supporters of
European unif1cation plans. Italy is a member
of the NATO and the Coal and Steel Authority;
its ratification of the European Defense Com
munity treaty is expected after the elections.
In many ways, Italy is showing greater
qualities of strength than ever before in its
modern history. Mr. De Gasperi has good
case to present to the countrys electorate.

Man With q Plan

How to relieve traffic congestion
in the District of Columbia? The fol-
lowing simple major changes will in
crease the movement and safety Of
transportation:
l. Eliminate all streetcars and re-
place them with large buses.
2. Make all East-West streets and
North-South streets one way with every
other street in opposite direction as:
First street" one way North and Sec
ond" one way South, etc.
8. Make all avenues and the streets
that are bus routes two way bou-
levards.
4. On two-way streets, have no
parking at any time, no loading be-
tween 1880 and $50 am. and and
$3.50 pm.
Those who use public transportation
then would not have to risk their lives
trying to get into the middle of the
the street in order to catch street.
cars. Result, fewer traffic accidents in
volving pedestrians.
Street parking areas in downtown
Washington would be decreased. Re
suit, more private cars would stay at
home. Average wage earnerS would
have no need to buy old dangerous
cars. Traffic accidents would decrease.
The flow Of traffic and public trans
portation would be greatly increased
and downtown merchants would in
crease business. This would come
about by people being able to get to
town taste Or and more often.
Public transportation prices could be
decreased by 20 per cent, due to the
stepped up schedules, increased volume
Of people riding and adequate serv-
ice to the public.

Nothing Good About War

This is reply to Pro Bono Publico's
letter trying to show benefits of war.
This mans argument is no good.
There are no benefits Of war except
when nation is attacked. There is
no justifiable homicide except when a
man is attacked. He mentioned every
thing except death and destruction
and the cripples in thousands of hos
pitals. This party evidently is strictly
war monger.

the Savannah to Liverpool.
From there, Capt. Rogers took his
ship to Stockholm. The captains
brother-in-law wrote in the log that
''all the Furan Minersters and their
laydieS came aboard" The King of
Sweden offered 100000 in iron and
hemp for the $4,000 ship, but Capt.
Rogers wanted cash.
The Savannah continued on to st.
Petersburg. On this 33-day trip, the
ship was powered by steam for a total
Of 10 days. She arrived September 13,
and for three days maneuvered in the
harbor, with members of the royal
family, Russian mobiles and other dis
tinguiShed persons aboard.
The Car gave Capt. Rogers a gold
watch and a guitar, but wasn't inter-
eSted in buying the vessel.
The captain brought her back to
the United States, steamed up the
Potomac to Washington and tried to
interest the Navy in buying the Sa-
vannah as q warship.
Sail, the Navy answered, was the
best power for warship.
In 1920, disastrous fire swept
through Savannah, Ca, and one of the
firms ruined was that which owned the
S. S. Savannah. Her engines were
ripped out and she was sold. For nearly
three years she piled up and down the
coast as coasting vessel.
She finally was swept ashore during
storm of Long Island and became
total loss. Capt. Rogers-who had
achieved fame as the pilot of the
Phoenix. steamship which braved
ocean waters along the coast before
the Savannah took to sea-continued
as a steamboat captain. He died while
in command of small river steamer,
81 days before the Savannah was
beached and wrecked.
In 1888, former President Roosevelt
revived the spirit of the Savannah by
proclaiming National Maritime Day to
coincide with the date of the start Of
the steamships trip across the Atlantic.

VA EXPLAINS CHANGES INVOLVING G.I. LOANS

Veterans applying for G.I. loans face different conditions and requirements from those which prevailed short while ago, according to the Veterans Administration.
 The two main changes affect ing veterans are:
 l. The maximum allowable in- terest rate on G.I. loans guaran- teed by the VA has been raised to Az per cent from 4 per cent effective May 5.
 2. Credit restrictions on G.I. home loans have been removed making it permissible for vet erans to obtain such loans with no down payment and with a repayment term up to 30 years.
 In addition, veterans who now plan to seek G.I. loans from pri vate lenders for homes, farms or businesses should apply to VA regional offices in advance for certificates of eligibility.

 The amount of down payment and the length of the repayment period are matters to be agreed upon between the veterans and the lending institution making the loan.
 Prior to the action removing controls on April 23 veterans were required to pay at least per cent down in most cases and the maximum loan usually was restricted to 20 or 25 years.
 The VA said if veterans apply in advance for certificates of eligibility for CT. loans, it will reduce delays in processing the loan applications later, when the veteran is anxiously awaiting completion of the deal or is pressed for time to close the loan.
 Certificates of eligibility are the means by which the VA certifies to the eligibility of vet erans for CT. loans.
