Stretching Authority Too For

Defeat by the House of the riders which
would have given the heads Of the State,
Commerce and Justice Departments blanket
authority to dismiss any employe "in the
interest of the United States" was hardly sur
prising The riders. attached to the State
Commerce-JuStice appropriation bill, lost any
merit they may have had when President
Eisenhower instituted a new security screening
system. The Secretaries of State and Com
merce and the Attorney General will have
sweeping authority under that program to get
rid OF any employe endangering national Sc
curity. They already have full authority, under
existing civil service regulations, to discharge
inefficient and incompetent employees
The administrations new security program
was designed to extend to all departments, in
Guiding non-sensitive ones, the same summary
dismissal powers heretofore vested in the De-
fenSe, State and Commerce Departments. Two
OF the new riders would have continued this
authority for State and Commerce by statute
HnStead Of by. executive Order) and the third
would have included the Department of Justice
in the statutory provision. The Federal Bureau
Of Investigation did not request this rider.
Attorney General Brownell favored it, however
presumably to assist him in a departmental
"houSecleaning" However, a department off,
cial frankly said that the authority would be
helpful in cleaning out "incompetents. But
the original purpose of the summary dismissal
riders was to enable departmental heads to fire
persons imperiling national security, not to
make it easier for them to oust political hacks
or what Attorney General Brownell calls
"dawders"
The authority to fire Government employe
without resort to the ordinary civil service
procedural safeguards for workers is one that
should be used sparingly and then only in such
bona fide security-risk cases as are covered
in the Presidents new order. 1t is an authority
which could be abused by unethical administra-
tors and hence should be subject to careful
supervision and control. Congress should not
be party to stretching this authority beyond
reasonable bounds, lest it encourage such
abuses.

Washington Must Decide

The wait-and-see attitude adopted by the
Maryland National Capital Park and Planning
Commission toward the controversial south
eastern leg of the new Washington National
Pike is easily understood. This link between
Washington and the pike (Route 240) now
under construction between Frederick and this
city is to be the Maryland section of the pro-
posed new expreSsway through Rock Creek
Park. In view of the debate Swirling around
the District Highway Departments plan for
running the highway through the park, Mary
land authorities are wise in going slow with
their end of the project.
The dispute over the expreSsway is the
traditional one between park conservationiSts
and highway engineers The highway engineers
contend that there is no other feasible way Of
providing an adequate channel for the traffic
expected to come into the District over the
splendid expressway which Maryland is now
building. The job has been about completed as
far as the Montgomery County line, but the
route it is to follow through the residential
areas Of that county is unsettled. Residents
of Chevy Chase have joined with the Committee
of 100 on the Federal City and the National
Capital Planning Commission in opposing the
expreSsway.
Any further invasion of Rock Creek Park by
traffic would be unfortunate, of course. But,
If, as the District highway planners assert, the
highway is essential to the solution of Wash
ington traffic problems, and it, as they also
assert, it can be built along the western valley
Of the park in a way that will not seriously
interfere with recreational use of the park or
with its natural beauty, some concessions
eventually may have to be made in the interest
Of the general public.

Reply From A. B & W. officer

I would like to reply to walking
Preferred" whose letter appeared in
The Star on May s..
The petition filed by the A. B. & w
Transit Co. with the State Corporation
Commission of Virginia for increased
Intra-Virginia fares requested the
elimination of the 1917 cent token in
the Is cent token zones and a cents
increase for more distant zones in Fair
fax County. The requested increases
went to "all passengers" not just rush.
hour passengers.
Gerald j. Glassman, executive assist
ant to the Arlington County Public
Utilities Commission, speaking for the
Arlington County Board at the hearing
in Richmond, suggested to the Virginia
State Corporation Commission that
rush-hour passengers only be taxed
with additional fares. The A. B. & w.
management never has stated that
ruSh-hour patronage is unwanted.
A. B. & w. has demonstrated to the
various commissions the high cost in
Cured in providing service in the short
peaks OF the rush hours with no further
use for the rush-hour buses.
Mr.. GlaSsman's remarks were incon-
Sistent with his position before Con-
gressional investigating committees
wherein he has stated that the transit
companies should transport more
people in the rush hours so as to relieve
traffic congestion and defer the need
for additional bridges and highways.
The present fare for trans-Potomac
riders is IS cents a day, not 80 cents as
stated. However, the transit COM
panles involved have petition pending
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to increase this fare to 70
cents a day so that the services rem
dered will be paid for by the persons
receiving the service.
Reference to bigger profits and big
ger dividends" can best be answered by:
l. A. B. & w. Transit Company has
been operating at loss for the past
six months and will continue to operate
at a loss until fares have been in
creased. 2. An exhibit filed with the
Virginia Corporation Commission dis
closed that since it's incorporation in
1884, the owners of A. B. & w. Transit
Co. have allowed 8998%o of all profits
to remain in the business, which ac-
counts for its ability to offer an ade-
quate and satisfactory service to the
community in which it operates.
Finally, if walking Preferred" will
compare the price of sugar, flour, bread,
butter, eggs and many other items, he
will find that bus fares have not in
creased to the extent that these daily
necessities have increased.

To U. 5. Red Probers
By Bishop Oman
BY the Assoeiot.d Pres.

AUSTIN. Tex, Nov. 24.-The
answer to copmunism is the
building of a society so strong
and just and so concerned with
humanity that 1t will be impreg-
nable. Methodist Bishop G.
Bromley Oman of Washington
said here last night.
He sharply criticized congress
sional investigating committees
for what he called their "incon-
petence and inadequate" pro-
cedure.
"The House Committee on I'm
American Activities has come to
be regarded by some as a politi-
cal springboard," the bishop said
in a lecture before about 1000
persons at the University of
Texas.
There are some on the COM
mittee who are sincere, but some
are capitaliZing on the hysteria
OF the moment" he asserted.
Cleared by Committee.
Bishop Oman clashed with
the committee last summer in a
long session at which some mem
bers sought to link him with
Communist causes. Subsequent
ly the committee said unani-
mously that the bishop is not a
member of or affiliated with the
COMMUNIST Party.
Bishop Oman said that for
years the committee had circu-
lated releases which were
mostly false and misleading,
saying had views I never held"
He said the committee had
blasted regulations by circulat-
ing rumors and by releases which
were unchecked and slanted.
Bishop Oxnam'S lecture was
sponsored by the University of
Texas Forum Speakers Commit
tee and the Great Issues Com
mittee. Bishop Oman said that
many persons who professed to
be fighting communism are ac-
tually playing into the hands
of communism and that such
persons have become great dupes
of it.
Some Dupes in Congress.
"Some of the dupes are in
congressional committees who

are being duped by former Com
munists," the Bishop said. The
crowd applauded.
when a committee can tell
us what Americanism is, that is
statiSm," he said.
Bishop Oman suggested one
practical way to tight commu-
nism would be to make it easier
for members to leave the party
and hve."
I'VE need a plan for seizing
the disillusionment and with
drawal from the party of Com
munist Party members" he said.
I'VE need to make sure our prog
ress toward economic and social
justice is not halted.
When Bishop Oman con-
cluded his lecture most of the
audience stood and applauded,
