In past years, particularly around
the turn Of the century, spring came in
gradually
It came day by day, not in sudden
leap. as it does nowadays so often.
Old-time spring started in early
April, with gradual warming UP. and
greening of grass, trees and park
shrubs.
This sort Of spring seems to have
vanished, and now we must take our
springs as nature intends we shall have
them, which is what we had been doing
in the past, except that formerly there
was more graduation in the scheme Of
things. Perhaps this is what has hap
pened to the world. We live in times
when gradual processes have been re-
placed or are replaced by sudden jumps
in the way things are done, and many
Of us do not like it in the least Let
us calm ourselves by the reflection that
nature, over the centuries, has seen
many changes, some slow, some rapid.
and all of them have been part of ma

be inspired by our new type spring.

Reluctant, No Doubt

have been reading your paper for
40 years. During that time I have
seldom missed an issue. like many
features of your paper. Your editorials
are sound, and admire them because
often they are really courageous. Your
columnistS are always interesting. The
coverage of news is well-nigh perfect
and I like the general formal of your
publication.
But wonder If the use of the Kings
English is up to the mark of 40 years
ago. Has there been deterioration, or
am I too critical? I note that whereas
people used to be hailed into court, now
almost invariably they are hauled into
court. For instance in your edition of
March "a we learn that 68 District
fathers were hauled into Juvenile
Court. If they were hauled it is all
right to say so, and am in favor of it.
Best wishes for the continued sue
cess of your paper.

Editors note: Hailed or hauled
it is all the same. according to
the dictionary: Hale, ", trans: To
haul; pull; draw; hence, to con-
strain to 60 along; as, to hale one to

Not Worth a Fiqht

In refusing to be drawn into a public
Squabble with Senator Mccarthy over the
Greek ship affair, President Eisenhower has
shown greater wisdom than his critics of the
"let's-you- and him fight" variety. For to the
extent that there was an issue or principle
at stake in this matter, it was not worth
fighting about.
The President quite rightly has been MAX
ing a determined bid for good relations with
Congress. 1t may or may not be possible to
establish such relationship on lasting basis
but there is no need to look beyond the unhappy
experience of his predecessors to demonstrate
the desirability, if not the necessity of doing
everything possible to achieve a satisfactory
working arrangement between the executive
and legislative branches. If it can be done,
accomplishment becomes possible. If it is not
done, if the relationship degenerates into mu-
tual sniping, the welfare of the country suffers.
This undoubtedly is uppermost in the Presi-
dents mind, and there is considerable evidence
that his efforts to this end have been measur-
ably successful.
There is also the matter of strategy in
particular case to be considered There are
those who seem to think that the Mccarthy
problem would cease to exist if only the Presi-
dent would heap verbal Goals on his head at
every opportunity This is wishful thinking,
for Senator Mccarthy is not going to disappear
with the morning mist. He is going to be
around at least until 1858, and the real ques-
ton which the President must face is how best
to adapt himself to that fact
The worst way to deal with the Senator
would be to fly off the handle every time he
steps out Of line. That was the Truman
method, and 1t played no small part in building
up the Senator into something of a national
figure. General Eisenhower evidently is de-
termined not to fall into this error. There will
be times-such as in the Bohen case-when
the President will have to stand by his guns and
fight it out with the Wisconsin Senator. And
the President has demonstrated that he is
ready to do this But there is no wisdom in
rushing into battle over something that is not
worth fight. The Greek ship business is
case in point.

Amnesty in Russia

From the standpoint Of domestic Soviet
policy, one of the more interesting aftereffects
OF Stalins death is the sweeping amnesty decree
issued by the new Russian leadership under
Premier Georgi Malenkov. Taken together with
the sensational decision exonerating and free
ing the IS doctors arrested in January on
charges of numbering top Moscow leaders, it
suggests that the Kremlin's hard heart has
softened lttle-expediently, calculatingly-in
response to widespread discomfort among the
masses.
Generally described as one of the most
generous" things of its kind in Soviet history,
the decree frees from prisons, concentration
camps and other penal institutions all male and
female inmates-from juveniles on up-serving
sentences of five years or less for what are
regarded as relatively minor crimes in Russia.
In addition, for certain categorieS Of these
Grimes" it cuts in half the time that must
be served by those who have received sentences
in excess of five years.
AS explained by the Kremlin, this benignant
step has been taken because cit is no longer
necessary to retain in places of custody persons
who have committed offenSes representing no
great danger to the state and who are
At to return to honest working life and become
useful members of the community" The Of
lenses involved (Inany of them acts of sort

of violations of the Soviet Unions Draconian
labor laws-laws that make strikes crime OF
the farSt magnitude and impose on factory and
farm hands alike such an extraordinarily
severe discipline that Communist descriptions
of Russia as workers paradise" add up to
the worst kind of truth-upending nonsense

Diagnosis Before Prescription

The overwhelmingly favorable support given
the Johnson bill to create Washington
Metropolitan Area transit control agency is
not surprising. Citizens plagued by the ever
growing transit troubles of Greater Washington
see in the proposal an intelligent approach to
the problem Of co-ordinating regulation of
urban and suburban public transportation
facilities The testimony before a Senate
District Subcommittee reveals however, the
need for more careful study of such legislation
than has been given to 1t in the past Until
such study has been made, there is danger of
making mistakes that could substitute new
troubles for old ones.
The Johnson bill aims at an objective that
has won widespread favor in recent years-the
creation of interjurSdictional public utilities
regulatory agency to deal with regional transit
problems on an area-Wide basis. Today the
various transportation lineS-Streetcar and bus
al1ke-are subject to various types and degrees
Of jurisdictional controls. Virginia. Maryland
and the District have their own intrajurisdc-
tional agencies, each particularly interested in
its own problems. The Federal Government,
through the Interstate Commerce Commission,
exercises interboundary controls of sort, but
the Setup for hearings and constant supervision
Of the affected lines is far from satisfactory.
There is no interstate control whatever over
boundaries. Such regulatory void opens the
way for abuses by unethical cab drivers
The creation of new regional regulatory
agency to handle these and similar difficulties
calls for caution, however. The Johnson bill
provides for an agency established by Congress,
without the advice and consent of the Maryland
or Virginia Legislature. Already the Virginia
State Corporation Commission has expressed
disapproval of this plan. The nearby suburban
areas traditionally resent Federal encroach-
ment on any State prerogatives. 1t may be that
State opposition could be overcome by Stressing
the plan to include representatives from ad-
tacent areas in the membership of the COM
mission. This representation is not definitely
spelled out in the bill as it now stands Any
control agency not completely Endorsed by
the two States involved would labor under
q severe handicap. -
And there are certain other defects in the
pending bill, as Chairman Spencer of the
District p. U. C.. pointed out at the hearing.
The District would properly object to trans
ferring to a regional commission the Districts
authority over transit routes within the Dis
trict, parking space and terminals here, col
lection of the mileage tax operations of
sightseeing buses, laws governing taxicab in
surance and so on. Also, responsibility for safety
inspections should be spelled out
It is clear that this whole subject is very
complex one for which it is difficult to prescribe
a cure in hurry. That is why The Star
believes it would be much wiser to concentrate
on the Broyhill bill or some like measure
providing for thorough study of area transit
Ills by an expert staff. The diagnosis should
come before any remedies are decided on,
however promising the remedies may seem to
be at first glance.
