W7HAr are the chances that your children
w will have college education?
Looking to the past, we see that there has
been tremendous increase in college stu
dents. Today there are over 215 million of
them - over eight times as many as when
! was an undergraduate 40 years ago.
Americans tend to assume that these oppor-
tunities will continue to expand during the
next 40 years.
But will they? Not if our private educa-
tional institutions continue to be squeezed
financially between rising costs and dwindling
endowments.
1t is precisely because of the greater num-
bers Of students that the independence of the

The threat concerns everyone, whether he
realizes it or not. Private liberal education
has been one OF our chief tools for developing
America in the past. Our high standard of
living is directly traceable to our schools and
colleges. In fact. all our cultural and material
achievements, what we eat, what we wear,
how we are governed - the complete physical
setting of our lives - are the ultimate result
of the quality of our educational system.

Financial pressues are now making it par
ticularly hard for the private schools and
colleges In the past, the individual benefactor
met most of our private educational needs.
Many of our finest school and college build
ings, scholarships. and endowed chairs of
teaching came from this kind of philanthropy
But we must face the fact that the accumula-
ton and inheritance of large fortunes, from
which individual support came, is much more
difficult than it was before. More Importantly,
the problem has now grown too big to be
handled by individual support alone.
But today's question is: who now is going
to do this job?

Both the President and the Secretary

great demonstration of courage and

In spite of the numerous efforts Of

To Correct a Parkway Error

One of the less-publicized portions of the
latest highway improvement program for Wash
1ngton has to do with correcting a mistake
made during construction of the George Wash
lngton Memorial Parkway in the Rosslyn area
This mistake was the failure to provide means
OF access to the parkway from Key Bridge for
westbound traffic. Remedying the situation
now will be more costly and inconvenient than
1t would have been to build q ramp while the
parkway was under construction The work
should be done, however, to relieve the increas-
ing traffic congestion at the Rosslyn circle
The only connection at present between the
bridge and the parkway is on the east side of
the Virginia abutment. Ramps there permit
access to the bridge from both lanes of the
parkway and access to the parkway for WASH
lngton-bound traffic only. There is no way.
however, for Key Bridge traffic from George
town to enter the section of the parkway
between the bridge and Lorcum lane. AS the
Regional Highway Planning Committee pointed
out in its report, such link not only would
divert considerable traffic from Rosslyn circle
but would materially relieve the section of Lee
Highway between Spout Run Parkway and
the Rosslyn) plaza" The committee also
recommended widening of two of Rosslyn's
main approaches to Key Bridge with an ex-
tension ultimately to connect with the Virginia
END OF the proposed street bridge and with
Arlington boulevard. These projects would helm

trating to motorists during rush hours in the

Export-lmport Bonk Authority

Your January editorial, comment-
Ing on report to the State DEPART
ment by DR.. August Maffry, former
chief economist Of the Export Import
Bank, on the subject of American in
vestment abroad, may create a mis-
leading impression as to the powers
and activities Of this bank.
The editorial says that DR.. Maffry
suggests increasing United States Gov
ernment lending through the Export
Import Bank ''by doubling the banks
present $45 billion lending authority
and permitting it to loan to foreign
individuals and corporations without
the guarantee Of their governments. -
The inference likely to be drawn from
this ii that the Export Import Bank
does not now have the authority to
lend to foreign individuals and corpo-
rations without government guaran-
tees.
In fact, not only does it have that
authority. but it has been making loans
OF that character for several years.
Notable instances are loans for rail-
road equipment, for power plant de-
velopment and for industrial develop
ment in Brazil, and similar loans in a
number OF other Latin American coun-
tries. Practically all of the recent
strategic materials loans made from
Export-Import Bank funds to corpora
tions and individuals in Canada, South
America, Africa and other countries
have been made without government
guarantees.
DR.. Maffry recommended, as you
correctly state. that various means be
adopted to stimulate this sort Of lend
ing as well as purely private investment
in foreign lands.
This minor correction is not to be
taken as a dissent from the main con-
clusions Of your editorial.

A Local Responsibility

There is no question as to the need for
constant vigilance against inflltration of schools
and colleges by Communist teachers. Recent
revelations by State and city investigators in
New York City have confirmed reports of Red
conspiracy to plant members of the Communist
Party on faculties of public and private institu-
tions. But the success of the New York house,
cleaning suggests that the sweeping out of sub
verSive elements in the schools is local job
that can and should be done without Federal
Intervention. Congress ought to go slow in ap
proving any plans for Federal Investigations
and crackdowns in that essentially local field.
The Senate Internal Security Subcommit-
tee is right in urging State and municipal au-
thorities to follow New Yorks excellent ex-
ample in attacking the problem. A legislative
committee there exposed an alarming inf1ltra-
tion Of Reds in the New York City public school
system and city officials, acting on this infor-
nation, have conducted a salutary cleanout
without resorting to witch-hunt tactics. The
McCarran group recommends similar legislative
inquiries in other States where there is suspi-
cion of Communist activity in the schools, fol-
lowed up by appropriate action on the part OF
boards of education.
If this wise course is taken, it is hard to see
any need for congressional investigations Of
eAAc GypC tAdG dIC UCAS pIOpOcCu Wy AAcIAUCIS
Of several committees, including the McCarran
and Mccarthy groups. The House Committee
on Un-American Activities also has indicated
that it is considering giving attention to the
schools. Institutions supported by Federal funds
are properly subject to such inquiries when
there are reports of Communist activities there.
But public schools and other local educational
institutions are local responsibility and should
remain so
Certainly State and city authorities would
have right to resent the implications of Sem
ator McCarrans recent statement that his SUBJ
committee, while disavowing any desire to "dic-
tate the thinking of any persons" in the schools,
"can show what course that thinking takes"
Obviously, such showing would be impossible
without examining the minds Of individual
teachers all over the country. Congress would
be venturing far out of its field If it were to
undertake any such absurd investigation.

All this is bad enough, but what got
me was the one January showing the

MunqIed Language

When the ordinary newSpaperman
of an ill-educated generation bites of
the tail of a word, it's not news. But
when David Lawrence does, it is. In
The Star of January Z, Mr. Lawrence
says: "The Senate subcommittee said
that some charges against Senator
Benton had become moot which
means they need not further be in
vestigated."
Approximately the same transla-
ton Of the subcommittee phrase has
been rendered by other run-of-the-
mill journalists. Perhaps it was the
subcommittee own understanding Of
the meaning Of the word they used.
Since some Of them are lawyers, this
would seem unlikely.
Moot" Of course, means as an ad-
jective 'discussable" or arguable. mo
longer moot" the opposite, might be
translated as Mr.. Lawrence and the
assorted lesser journalists have.
What has happened to our educa-
tional system and to the awareness Of
the meaning of our great and an
tique language In its roots?
On a Tuesday of last November we
had a national folkmoot, attended by
so millions. This was Tiwy's Day, the
day of the Saxon war god. the day of
the week when moots have always
been held from immemorial times.
Please let's continue to have our
language mean something and not twist
one of our proudest and most ancient
words into an opposite meaning, in the
way that nescius. "know-nothing," be-
came nice.

Coincidence Noted

On January The Star printed q
letter from one Joseph Forer favoring
clemency for the Rosenbergs. On Page
A-6 of the same edition. The Star
reported that Messrs. Joseph Forer.
Abt and Marcantonio appeared before
the Suhversive Activities Control Board
and spoke against requiring the Ameri-
can Communist Party to register as
Moscow directed.
Since the Communist cause in this
country is already vociferously repre-
sented1 by the Daily Worker. it seems
a disservice to the reading public for
great newspaper like The Star to
accept and to publish in the guise of
spontaneous opinion the writings of one
who has at least professional interest
in the Communist Party. The cause Of
free speech is not fostered by such
publication of captive opinions.

Dim View of Yunks Abroad

AS an American businessman who
spends most Of his time in his Paris,
London, or Frankfurt offices. I should
like to heartily indorse Constantine
Browns remarks of January regard
ing the over stating of some of our
European embassies. and military and
technical aid organizations. Further
more, the writer would like to stress
the ineff1ciency prevailing in all these
organizations, stated as they are by an
unusually high proportion of so-called
"intellectuals" or "technicians'' many
Of whom are known to be little more
than cast-offs from more responsible
governmental agencies in Washington
or from private business.
Although it is disconcerting when one
discovers that some Of the higher rank
ing civilians serving our country over
seas are not American citizens or speak
English with pronounced accent, it
Is little less than confusing and unintel-
ligible to an Austrian, Belgian, French
man, Englishman or German. The
writer is familiar with at least four
overseas members of the Army and
Economic Cooperation Administration
who held posts Of responsibility with
salaries exceeding $500 per annum
and were not even United States citi-
zenS.
However. the most disturbing aspect
about our all-too-high proportion of
overseas Ambassadors" be they ci-
william or military, is their emphatic
anti-European attitude. It is frequently
traced among other things, to poor
climate and accent (Great Britain, to
poor plumbing facilities, lack of hous-
ing and high cost of living France), =,
etc. A consequence of this psychological
attitude Is the adoption of a double
standard OF morals and business ethics
which not only stuns an inquiring
American or European but completely
undermines our political aims. The
normal reaction Of many Europeans has
been defined as "anti-Americanism"; it
Is not to be confused with any pro-
Communist sentiments. It is a protest
against the extreme ineficiency, dis
elimination, -mindedness, dis
courtesy or dishonesty associated with
the personal or official activities of
many OF our countrymen overseas, all
OF whom would be first to protest
against same in this country. Perhaps
1t may be explained away by the remark
that we are not yet ripe for a heritage
won too soon.
Yes, I'm all for pruning the mass of
Government and military personnel
overseas and Of imbuing them with the
principles Of American democracy to
be practiced for export.

Southwest Plun

The dictionary (American College,
defines eminent domain as follows:
THE dominion of the sovereign power
over all property within the state, by
which it can appropriate private prop
erty for public use, compensation being
given for it."
The proposal to condemn and then
to turn over to speculative builders a
large segment of the Southwest section
of Washington is inimical to the rule
laid down by our English forebears. II
upheld by the court, it will set prece-
dent which will affect property values
for generations.
To apply the same yardstick of un-
sightliness, Georgetown. Southeast or
the central downtown Northwest section
could qualify as we'll. It could easily be
applied to section like River terrace.
NE, where the entrance to the new
South Capitol street bridge abuts
contending these small homes are not
suitable for the locality, therefore it
should be condemned as a whole and
resold to speculative builders of mod
ernistic apartment houses.
It is amusing to realize the contrast
Of the furor over the location of the
new Sibley Hospital with the timidity
shown by those whose very existence is
affected down Southwest. Circumstances
can be brutal. 1t is fortunate we have
newspapers. with free press, to shed
a little light on both sides of a question.
