Colonel Mcbride Retires

The retirement of Colonel Harry A. Mcbride
from his post as administrator of the National
Gallery does not mean a complete severance
of his relation with the work there. Fortunately,
arrangements have been made whereby his
counsel and advice are to continue to be avail
able indefinitely. AS long as he lives, he will
be an active asset of the Gallery organization.
Colonel Mcbride was one of the builders of
the Gallery and is credited with having de-
veloped some of the most practical and orderly
arrangements for the operation and MAIN
tenance of the edifice. He also recruited the
building staff and set up administrative rules
for its guidance. Other men-David e. Finley
and Donald D. Shepard especially-were re-
sponSble for the basic philosophy of the Gal
lery but it was the civil service personnel en-
listed by Colonel Mcbride that put that philos-
ophy in day-to-day effect on the operational
side. The pattern of museum management thus
established may be expected to remain prac
tical technique and routine of Gallery "busi-
ness" for long while.
AS chairman of the trustees of the Publ-
cations Fund, Colonel Mcbride had much to do
with the print and book sales rooms of the
Gallery Skilled in his knowledge of fine print
ing, he supervised the production of the pub
ications which have democratized the treas
ures Of the Gallery collections in thousands OF
homes, churches, schools, hospitals and other
galleries. This he did so economically that the
prints and books could be and consistently
have been held within the purchase power Of
the average individual to the advantage Of
all concerned.
Colonel Mcbride also collaborated in pre-
pairing many special exhibitions staged at the
National Gallery. He accompanied the pictures
of the Kaiser Friedrich Museum from Germany
to the United States when they were brought
here for safekeeping by the Army pending their
eventual return to the German people. The
State Department sent him to Liberia on q vital
mission during World War II and also assigned
him to go to Russia with Secretary Hull when
the latter conferred with Marshal Stain in
Moscow. Possibly Colonel Mcbride viii use some
Of whatever leisure he allows himself following
his formal retirement to write q book Of mem
oirs of type which only he could write.

The Extraordinary Dr.. Rhee

Perhaps the StrangeSt of all the strange
developments in the Korean war is President
Syngman RheeS Fourth of July message to the
United States In effect, he has appealed
to the American people, over the head of the
American Government, in an effort to persuade
them that they should reject the pro-truce
policy of the Eisenhower administration and
fight on with the ROK forces until total victory
Is won against the Communists.
DR.. Rhee; of course, has not stated his case
in just that way But he has used his words
skillfully and eloquently to suggest that our
Government has lost ''the crusading and pio-
neering spirit of the founders of our country
and that the American people ought to act on
their own to recover some" of that spirit. To
that end, by indirection, he has exhorted them
to disregard President Eisenhower'S armistice
views refuse to abandon the struggle half
way" and "acquit yourselves in a manner
worthy of generations of your forefathers
whose fond devotion and glad sacrifice for
human freedom and dignity has made America
what it is now"
It is difficult to find any international
precedent for such a message. True enough,
during the First World War, Woodrow Wilson
issued ace-promoting appeals to the German
people over the head of the Kaisers imperial
government. But at that time we were in armed
conflict with Germany, and its government was
our enemy, not our ally. Under Dr. Rhee, how
ever, the Republic of Korea is our ally, and that
is why his attempt to whip up our public opin-
ion against President Eisenhower's truce posi-
ton, and in favor of all-out fighting, seems
slightly dizzying.
Needless to say, as far as most Americans
are concerned, DR.. Rhee'S appeal will be re-
garded chiefly as further evidence that he has
no intention of ever agreeing to an armistice.
Beyond that, because his words cast an i'm
plicit aSpersion on the spirit Of our Government,
and because they presume to tell us how we
can be worthy of our forefatherS, he is likely
to find many Of our people criticizing him as
stubborn old man who has let his emotions
carry him beyond the bounds of propriety and
who has permitted his personal valor to grow
tragically quixotic-illogical, unrealistic border
ing on the irrational.
With all that said, however, the fact remains
that DR.. Rhee, despite his eccentricities and his
maddening refusal to make reasonable compro-
mise with the hard realities is sort of histor-
ical phenomenon commanding the respect of
free men everywhere. There is much to be said
against his Fourth Of July message, but still it
cannot be denied that he Is most admirable
in his own way, truly extraordinary figure in
one of history's most extraordinary wars.

New Era for Fairfax

Fairfax County's bucolic era. pleasant If
backward one, lies behind it. Today the county
Is In state Of transition. Just ahead is a new
era OF rapid development that will see most of
the remaining open spaces occupied by homes
and apartments. That, at least is the expert
opinion of the county's special adviser, DR..
Homer Hoyt. Whether the outlook is good or
bad depends on the point of view. Old timers are
apt to resent the transformation of the big
county from rural, easygoing area into a
buStl1ng suburban community. There are ad-
vantages and disadvantages to this sort of
progress. But, as with adjacent Arlington, the
transition Is inevitable
The Hoyt report to the Board of Super
visorS only confirms what others have fore
cast with increasing frequency in recent years.
Fairfax County could not successfully resist
the trend of population if it wanted to. Wash
1ngton long ago spilled over into Arlington,
which caught the first impact of Federal ex-
panSion before World War II. Arlington'S period
Of sudden growth is history. Now the sphling
process Is reaching well into Fairfax County,
where startling growth already is in evidence
in the sections closest to Arlington and Wash
ington. Dr. Hoyt predicts that Fairfax County'S
population will more than double by $780, rising
from today's $4,000 to more than 100000 No
other jurisdiction in the Metropolitan Area will
approach LnaL raCe OF growth, ne says. -.
There is an implicit warning in this fore
cast for those who are responsible for planning
the county's future. Twice as many people
means more demands for public services, for
schools, for highways, for sewers and all the
other facilities required by an urban COM
munity. It is not too soon to begin making
plans to cope with the coming demands, even
though the problems of financing the improve
mentS are deferred for future consideration
The Hoyt report will be a valuable guide to
those charged with planning the orderly de-
velopment of Fairfax County during the fateful
decades just ahead.

Two PIuy at Numbers Come

Writing in The Star of June 26,
Westmoreland Ramsbury sets forth

Please accept my hearty thanks for
the coverage The Star gave the meet
ingS of the Synod Of Baltimore of the
Presbyterian Church, U. s. A. AS re-
firing moderator was grateful for the
assignment of your church editor to

news was a matter of considerable sat
isfaction to the Christian people Of

a number of comments from lay people
to this effect.

He Soys He's Sorry

Will you kindly convey my deep ap-
probation to the writer Of the editorial
He Says He's Sorry?"
Such publicity, by leading and con-
servative newspaper, may awaken public
interest and even arouse Congress to
the realization that these thugs, though
young in age, are real menace and
not merely kids" out for little mis-
chief
1t will be seen from my address that

myself coward, walked, as many of
the others did, in the middle of the
street for weeks.
incidentally, in view of the police
froWning on publicity, nothing was
printed in the papers until aroused
citizens demanded that some warning
be given to those unknowing and un-
suspecting people who had not heard
Of the nightly brutality by this f1end.

OF our juristS has advocated jail
sentences for drunken drivers (po-
tential murdererS). Of course. many
of these young punks are from good
families" in Chevy Chase and a $50
or $10O fine to these good" families
means no more to them than an ice
cream soda means to my children
however, mine have been and are being
supervised by their mother and me.
Again, permit me to express my
thanks and let us all hope that the day
is not too far off when a mans uualifi-
cations, rather than political affilia-
tlons, will be the yardstick in making
judgeship appointments in our helpless
town.

1t is unfortunate that The Star has
arrogated to itself the task of super
vising the courts.
The lead editorial of June q, "He
Says He's Sorry" criticized Judge
Luther Youngdahl for sentencing a
man to four years for assault with in
tent to commit a felony. The judge had
the facts Of the case before him and

nology. He also knew that the purpose
of the law is to rehabilitate criminals.

perience, figure an average of 20 min
utes for each shopping stop" in the
store. A little arithmetic will show
what the generous-sounding Thursday
evening" actually means in terms of
shopping time. OF necessity the shop
per's activities are limited to one store
only. 1t seems to me that since the
prosperity of each member of the stores
family is in the long run dependent
on the volume of sales, common sense
would dictate that the customer be en-
couraged to purchase, rather than the
opposite.
