NO REASON TO CHANGE

"Beef cattle breeders commercial
and purebred-have an opportunity this year
to prove beyond question that they can solve
their problems without benefit of government
price supports and controls" said Western
Livestock in it's June issue.
The article went on to say that there are
too many COWS on the ranges of the country,
and that this maladjuStment must be correct
ed. 1t then added, "Cattlemen may pride
themselves on being rugged individualists
but if they will not or cannot work together
to solve a problem of OVerproduction they
will be opening the way toward stronger
demand for price supports and the controls
that inevitably would follow"
A short time ago the critical beef stu
alton, which has been intensified by the pro-
lOnged Texas drought, led Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson to call an emergency meeting
of special livestock, credit, and retail food
committee. This was in line with Mr.. Ben
sons firm belief that agricultural problems
should be solved so far as possible by cooper
alton between the interests concerned, and
with a minimum of government interference
or financial assistance.
In the meantime, one optimistic sign is
found in beef slaughter and consumption fig
ures, which are running well ahead of COM
parable periods last year. The decline in
prices has naturally led to increased beef
buying by the general public. ~
Perhaps the best sign of all is found in
the fact that only a small minority of beef
producers are asking the government to at
tempt to solve their problems for them. The
great majority want to work their way out
of the woods by their own efforts. They've
done that in critical times before, and they
see no reason to change their attitude now.

Weeds, Pigs Rule
.Eisenhower's Old
Invasion Base
BY the Assoeiated Press

SOUTHWICK, England, June
6.-Weeds and creepers are slow
ly winning back the vast camp
from where, nine years ago to-
day, Gen. Eisenhower MASTER
minded the greatest invasion in
history.
President Eisenhower probably
wouldn't be able to recognize
his old World War II encamp-
ment - then called supreme
headquarters, Allied Expedition
ary Forces, or "SHAEF" for
short.
Apart from a naval naviga-
ton school in Southwick House,
where Allied leaders held top
planning sessions, chief inhabi-
tants of the 4,0O0-acre site are
three large white pigs.
The famous tactical map over
which Eisenhower brooded in the
tortured hours before the great
blow was struck is in a glass
case in Southwick House. A
modest wall plaque points out
that, had Eisenhower not made
the decision to strike at the
Nazi-held continent, lit might
have altered the course of his
tory"

Ex-Con1nunists at Harvard

Harvard University has refused to dismiss
three faculty members who invoked the pro-
lection of the Fifth Amendment to the Con-
stitution in refusing to answer questions of
congressional committees investigating COM
munism in universities. And from that fact
certain conclusions may be drawn.
One is that the Investigations served the
purpose of bringing these cases to the attention
of Harvard's governing body. Another is that
academic freedom at Harvard has not been
curtailed by the Interrogation of these faculty
members. Instead, when the witnesses refused
to answer, Harvard launched its own inveSti-
cation. And the decision against dismissing
any of the three was based not on the findings
of the congressional committees, but on Har-
wards own appraisal of the facts as developed
In It's own investigation. That is as 1t should
be, and as long as this pattern is followed
congressional Investigations can serve to identity
suspected Communists without trespassing on
field that should be reserved exclusively for
action by universities themselves.
Whether the Harvard decision in this
instance was wholly wise is another question.
The univerSity's investigation established that
one Of the faculty members had never been

Communist in his student days and for short
period thereafter. He left the party in 1850,
however, ana the university 1OunQ CnaC MS
teaching had not been slanted and that he
had never tried to influence the political
thinking Of his students. In these cases, while
deploring the invoking of the Fifth Amend
ment and concluding that this constituted
misconduct" the university held there was not
evidence of the gross misconduct" necessary
under university statutes to justify dismissal
There Is no basis on which outsiders may prop
erly dissent from that decision.
The third caSe-that of DR.. Wendell Furry
Is in a somewhat different category He was an
active Communist from 1888 to 1947. He
participated in Communist activities which were
"secret or deceptive" On one occasion in 1914
he told an investigating agent that he had no
reason to believe an applicant for position for
classified Government work had been a men,
Der Of the Communist Party, although he knew
the applicant had been a member In other
words in q matter obviously of some Importance
to the security of the country, he lied to a

Harvard concluded that this was "gross
misconduct" but decided to retain DR.. Furry
on a three-year probationary basis. One
reason advanced was that the deception Of the
investigator occurred nine years ago in very
different climate of political opinion"

CAPT. MOSES ROGERS set cut 1874
~ years ago today to sell steam to
the seafaring nations Of Europe and
Asia, but he got only gold watch
and a guitar for his trouble.
However, his contributions to the
era Of the steamship have brought
about an annual celebration-Nationa
Maritime Day-to commemorate the
captains embarkation on the first ocean
crossing in q steam powered vessel.
On May %, 1919, Capt. Rogers
chugged out of Savannah. Ca. with
smoke belching through the masts Of
the s. S. Savannah. He was out to
prove that steam could be great
help in crossing the Atlantic. He won
the plaudits of foreign monarchs and
American shippers. but got only q
firm "No" when he talked Of selling
the Savannah for cash.
The Savannah's log, carefully pre-
served by the Smithsonian Institution,
shows this entry:
"At Z am got steam up, winded
ship. and hove up the anchor, and at
9 am, started with the steam from
Savannah"
A tragedy had delayed the sailing,
originally scheduled for two days be-
fore. The log reports that on that day,
May 20, a crewman named John Weston
was coming aboard when he "fell of
the plank and was drowned" The sail
ing was delayed until the body was re-
covered.
Shortly after the 98Ka foot Savannah
. left port for Europe, the paddle wheels
were folded and taken aboard. She
continued under sail. Although this
is recorded as the. first steam crossing,
the ship was steam driven only 80 hours
Of the 2912-day voyage to Liverpool.
The ultimate destination was St.
Petersburg. Russia. where Capt. Rogers
hoped to persuade the Gear to buy the

Cart Before the Horse

The explosive executive hearing on the pro-
posed reorganization of District inspection and
licensing services has revealed, among other
things faulty approach to this phase of the
reform program. The reorganizers knew that
there would be some opposition to their plans
from those affected, but they were not pre-
pared for the outburst which greeted them at
the round-table conference between department
heads and the Commissioners. The vigorous
reaction from Health officer Seckinger, who
denounced as "cockeyed screwy and preposter-
Gus" the proposed transfer of health-inspection
work to a new department of inspections, is
understandable, however. For it was his first
opportunity to express himself on this vital
public health matter.
Why the department heads were not con-
suited before drafting of the survey report,
instead Of afterwards, is mystery. The only
explanation at the District Building was that
there were so many departments and services
involved that it was thought best to prepare
a plan and then let department heads state
their views about it. The trouble with this
arrangement was that 1t put the cart before the
horse The more sensible plan-and one less
likely to have caused an upheaval of the sort
that developed at the Commissioners confer
ence-would have been to consult the various
department heads first, weigh their recon-
mendationS and then draw up consolidation
program.
With the release to the public last Sunday
Of the inspection on-reorganization report it was
logical to assume that all parties involved had
been adequately consulted. The report, in fact,
said that preliminary study" indicated the
need for extensive reorganization and CONSOLE
dation" and that "the further the problem was
explored, the more apparent 1t became that the
functions Of licensing, permit issuance and
inspection were interrelated." AS it turns out,
however, the exploration did not extend to the
point of obtaining the advice and opinions of
those most concerned with the proposed shake
up and most familiar with the difficulties of
bringing all inspection and licensing activities
under one head.
AS DR.. Seckinger has pointed out, health
inspection is an important part of public-health
protection The function should not be trans.
ferred to some other department if to do so
would impair in any way the system of safe
guards already operating in the public interest
The same holds true with respect to traffic
control, fire safety and other inspection and
licensing services which might be consolidated.
Economy is not the only factor which must be
considered In this sort of reorganization.

Amphitheoter Suggestion

The announcements of summer musi-
Cal stock attractions at the Carter Bar
ron open air theater just off upper
Sixteenth street NV. seem to confirm
the Surmise that the United States Gov
ernment hasn't the slightest idea what
to do with property of such a nature.
When it was constructed for the Paul
Green play some of us thought that
here at long last was the beginning of
something that might end in the estab-
lishment of national theater. At least
the outdoor project was a step in the
right direction. Then, when the Green
play did not prove great success the
Interior Department discovered itself in
the theatrical business. And the Barron
property ended UP in the hands of the
National Capital Parks office which is
something Of police department.
What an Office Of this sort has to do
with theater never has been explained.
Now. instead Of using it as a local
or national-theater workshop where
new plays might be tested and new
acting companies developed and the
nucleus Of really sound and sincere
national theater might take hold, the
Barron Theater becomes a straight
commercial property where we will see
and hear musical plays that must be
expertly produced to attract and, if
history can be trusted, probably will
come through as short-changed pro-
ductions hastily conceived and on the
pedestrian side.
The United States has q heavy in
vestment in this outdoor show arena.
1t was intended. am sure, as a place
where important and unusual produc-
tions could be properly presented. Why
not turn 1t over to staff capable of
