Red Rehush'
Lev. E. DObriansky.

The Stars recent editorial, Red Re-
hash" is generally we'll presented, but
it contains both a serious error and an
omission.
BY failing to explain adequately the
essence OF the meaning of "'co-exiStence
of capitalism and socialism," the aver
age reader is led to believe this is
merely another Communist propaganda
phrase. This is incorrect. The Reds
actually believe the two systems can
peacefully co-exist. Yet they maintain
there still will be wars, but between
capitalist countries.
On October 8, 1852, Pravda carried
the following words of Stain on this
matter: ". War with the u. S. S. r.
as a socialist country is more danger
GUS to capitalism than a war between
the capitalist countries, for a war be-
tween the capitalist countries raises
only the question of the supremacy Of
certain capitalist countries over other
capitalist countries. War with the u.
S. S. r. must necessarily raise the
question of the existence of capitalism
itself" Thus the Communists conclude
there will be no conflict between the
two systems, at least as far as the con-
4llSb DCAL1S AAAIAoCCu Wy NuRIVnAAoAA'
Actually the Reds do not believe the
two systems can compete peacefully
as Red Rehash" enormously infers.
1t is the Communist opinion that the
most important economic consequence
Of World War II was the emergence Of
two parallel world markets-capitalism
and socialism, which are incongruous.
Harrison p. Brewer.
Editors Note: Red Rehash" did not
imply that the Communists really be-
lieve in peaceful competition" On the
contrary the editorial concluded with
the observation that nothing has hap
pened since Stalin's death to warrant
the view that the Kremlin has aban-
doned the basic dogma set forth by
Lenin in 1919-namely, that .the exist
ence of the Soviet Republic side by side
with imperialist states for long time
is unthinkable. One or the other must
triumph in the end. And before that
end supervenes, a series of frighttul
collisions between the Soviet Republic
and the bourgeois states es"-meanlng the
West-"will be inevitable.")

Airport Accessibility

Chairman Case of the Senate District
Committee, In citing to the Senate the relative
distances from Washington to various airport
Sites put emphasis on the wrong figures. He
stressed that estimates Of travel time submitted
by the Commissioners indicate that BaltimoreS
Friendship International Airport will be only
10 minutes farther away from the Capitol than
the proposed Burke Airport. But the Burke
project apparently is as dead as it is possible
for Congress to make it. A more realistic
comparison would have been concerned with
relative distances and driving times Of Friend
ship and Andrews Air Force Base. The dis
parity thus shown would not have been ad-
vantageouS to the cause of those advocating
Friendship as Washingtons auxiliary air
terminal. ;.
Although Congress has not specifically
ordered abandonment of the Burke plan, 1t
has indicated its disapproval by refusing to
appropriate any more money for the under
taking. Legislation Is pending to authorize
resale Of the land to the Burke property owners
from whom it was bought. Meanwhile, a
tentative agreement has been reached between
the Commerce and Defense Departments for
use of part of the Andrews field for a second
local civilian airport. Although this plan is
being opposed by citizens in the area-and by
friends of Friendship-there is more likelihood
Friendship does not stand up well under
comparison with Andrews, when the figures
supplied by Engineer Commissioner Prentiss
are studied. Even when the estimates of driving
time take into consideration pending or prospec-
tive highway improvements between here and
Friendship, the lowest non-rush hour estimate
for Friendship is Al minutes. The rush-hour
estimate is A minutes. This compares with
19 minutes for Andrews during off-peak hours
and % minutes at peak traffic periods The
significance here is that even under the most
favorable conditions the travel time between
Washington and Friendship would be above the
40-minute maximum which the Doolittle COM
mission recommended in its report last year
on airport location. From every viewpoint
except that Of Marylanders interested in pro-
noting tagging business at Baltimore's big
terminal, Friendship is unsatisfactory as an
alternate airport for the Nations Capital.

The 83d Conqress

When the s3d Congress convened last
January it was the first time since April IS,
1929 that a new Congress had met under
Republican control in each branch and with
Republican President in the White House. The
performance of this first session of the 83d was
watched more closely and perhaps more criti-
caly because it reflected the change that was
voted last November, and because it was not
known in advance how Republican admins
tration in complete power really would behave.
The legislative results of the first session
were not spectacular but they give promise that
a ANAL evaluation of the 83d Congress- after its
term ends in January, 1855 will be on the good
side.
1t became evident early that the EiSen-
hover administration and the Republican lead
ership were not intent on setting any records
in terms of volume of legislation, at least dur
ing the first session. The programs agreed upon
at White House legislative conferences were not
lengthy ones and the must" designation was
used sparingly The Presidents direct requests
were relatively few and left considerable lati-
tude to the Congress on the timing and exact
nature Of measures which would implement his
recommendations.
This technique of treating with Congress
on terms of an implied partnership was en-
ployed often by President Eisenhower and may
yet yield substantial dividends in good will be-
tween the executive and legislative branches.
Several long-range studies, presumably directed
at legislative action in the second session, have
been initiated in which both the executive and
legislative branches are Joined on bipartisan
basis. The tax structure, foreign economic pol
Icy and farm policy are among the major prob
lens under examination.
Holding only a narrow margin Of suprem-
acy over the Democrats in each branch, the
Republicans were deeply split within them
selves on issues such as foreign aid, taxation
and tariffs. President Eisenhower won his most
serious showdown within his own party when
he forced an extension of the corporation ex
cess profits tax for an additional six months
but he needed a large bloc of Democratic votes
to put over a 12-montn extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act. The Democrats
contributed several other occasions to max
Ing the administration record look good in this
first session of Republican-controlled Con-
greSs, and it was not unusual in either House
or Senate to find the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaderships joined in fighting an admin

part in political activity up and down
the country, he must be as diligent in
parliament attendance as any back
bencher-more so if he is prudent, for
it is not enough that a minister should
do his work; he must also be seen do
ing it!
At Chartwell Churchill spent after
Moons feeding his tropical fish, in which
he is passionately interested, or reading
the proofs of his latest book Of memoirs.
He dimes at Chartwell later than he
does when he is at No. 10 so that he
can enjoy sleep before dinner or see
movie in his private theatre. He
is an ardent filmgoer and never misses
a chance to see new movie.
After dinner he generally reads until
he goes to bed. In London after dinner
he always returns to the House of
Commons in the evening if a debate is
in progress or if a division is expected
and remains there until the business
of the day is finished. However late
he leaves Commons, he always puts
in some more work at his desk before
retiring.
Although the last, few weeks have
meant tremendous Slacken1ng IN
pace for Churchill he still does certain
amount Of work, keeping a finger firm
ly on Whitehall'S pulse.
Several senior civil servants con-
fessed to sudden telephone calls from
Chartwell and a familiar voice asking
for information or clariflcation on GER
tain points.
Three times a day, a car known
somewhat irreverently in Whitehall as
the "Chartwen Chariot" left for the
Premier's home with papers and dis
patches.
Rumors that Churchill intends to
give up his Office to Anthony Eden in
the fall can be discounted. Unless he
is SO ill as to be quite incapable of
carrying on, Sir Winston will continue
as Prime Minister until the next general
election at least.
This is unlikely to take place until
the conservatives have fulfilled their
full term Of office which terminates
in 1856.
