A Test for the KremIin

For number of reasons, including domes-
tic political considerations Prime Minister Sir
Winston Churchill continues to stand by his
May proposal for an Anglo o-French-American
headS-of- f-gOvernment meeting with Soviet Pre-
m1er Georgi MalenkoV. He has made this clear
III his latest appearance before the British
House of Commons. He has done so by reaf-
trming his oft-stated belief that such meet
ing might do good and could not easily do
much harm" Meanwhile, speaking in New
York, Secretary of State Dulles has voiced the
opinion that Big Four conference at the
highest level could be dangerous at the present
time and that talks with Russia, if they are to
be held at all, must therefore begin down the
scale bit-among the foreign ministers.
At first glance, the British and American
views thus would seem TO be basically at odds,
but Sir Winston has qualified himself suffi-
GENTLY to suggest otherwise. In any case while
continuing to speak favorably of get-together
with Malenkov he has been at pains to back
up the Western Big Three decision-reached
during the recent Dulles Eden -Bdault parley
in London-to send another note to the men of
the Kremlin inviting them to join in foreign
ministers conference on Germany and Austria.
He has expressed the hope that they will re-
spond affirmatively and that the meeting will
begin, as proposed, at Lugano on November 9.
an Invaluable" step toward friendly, informal
and personal talks" between himself the French
Premier, President Eisenhower and the No. /
Russian.
In saying this, Prime Minister Churchill
has stated view not very far removed from the
one held by our own Government President
Eisenhower, of course has never ruled out the
idea of a meeting with Malenkov He has
merely taken the position that such meeting
would be risky, or at best futile, unless it were
preceded by concrete evidence of Soviet good
faith in lower-level talks on issues like Ger
many and Austria This position is as sound
as it it is realistic, and Mr. Dulles, in his New
York address, has pointed it up effectively by
declaring that the Vests latest bid for for
eign ministers conference will test the true
intentions of Russia's leaders. If they respond
favorably and if they negotiate constructively
at Lugano then the proposal for a highest
level" get-together will begin to make real
sense. Contrariwise, if the Kremlin attitude
remains negative, the proposal will continue
to be dubious in the extreme, and Sir Winston
probably will become increasingly disinclined
to favor it.

Arlington School Funds

Refusal to provide funds for the re-
queSted increases in the teacher and
non-teacher scales has every appear
ance of relegating the employees of the
school system to second-class status
among all breadWinners in the employ
of Arlington County. This is a cruel
judgment to be passed on loyal and
deserving group of people who are
carrying on one Of the most important
undertakings done for pay in the en-
tire county.
It appears that the agony of an in
temperate fight can be avoided in the
interest of community harmony. This
can be done If the parents will put up
with postponement of some items which
can be postponed without serious jeop-
ardy to the educational program and
if they will assume some Of the financial
burden directly. These are obligations
which, in the tradition Of free public
schools in q prosperous community, do
not belong to the parents. But the pa
rents in this community know these
pay scales have to be raised signifi-
cartly. If the County Board is not pre-
pared to assume that the taxpayers
want justice done, the School Board
must be encouraged to presume that the
parents will rise above the call of duty
and fill the breach.

Chairman, Citizens Committee for
School Improvement.

Controversial but Important

1t would be unfortunate if the controversy
which has developed over proposed consolida-
tion of District licensing and inspection services
should imperil the whole reorganization pro-
gram of the District government. Questions
already have been raised at the Capitol about
the advisability of continuing the program un-
less it can be shown concusively that admins
tration will be improved and money saved.
There is abundant evidence on these points
In the much criticized District Reorganization
Plan No. 5. Much of the criticism of the survey
report resulted from what The Star believes
was wrong approach in the handling of an
admittedly difficult phase of the reorganization.
The heads of the several licensing and inSpec-
ton services concerned in the Shakeup were
consulted after rather than before preparation
of the report When the recommendations
finally came to the attention of the admins
trative heads some of the reactions were explo-
sive-notably that of Health Officer Seckinger
Commissioner Spencer has announced that
hereafter the departments involved will be
consulted in advance-certainly fairer and
more orderly method. And a compromise
health inspection plan has been presented.
That a major reorganization of District
licensing and inspection activities would be
useful. sensible and economical is clear from
the report submitted to the Commissioner by
tne reOrganlZlng SCaH. Even partial reOrganl-
Zation would be preferable to none The Stars
own investigation of overlapping and duplica-
tion in the inspection field as reported in
series of special articles some months ago.
revealed fertile field for reorganization. The
survey report stressed, for example, major
duplication of effort" by two separate District
agencies responsible for fire safety. One of
these is the Fire Safety Inspection Section of
the Department of Inspections. The other is
the Fire Prevention Division of the Fire De-
partment. The former has 81 employees, the
latter 26. The report cited Is duplicate items
which both agencies inspect. BY aboiShing
the Fire Safety Inspection Section and trans
ferring its work to the Fire Prevention Division,
more than 100000 year could be saved, it
was estimated. Similar economies in other
departments might bring the total annual saw
tngs to $500,0OO, the reorganizing staff declared.
There always is resistance to reorganiZing
from those proposed for reorganization, as for
mer President Hoover once lamented. The OBJ
jectorS should be allowed to have their say to
the fullest degree possible. Some of the objec-
tions may prove to be valid. If so, they should
be given careful consideration. 1t may become
necessary to modify the plan further after
full hearing of all sides. But resistance arising
chiefly out of selfish fears of lost prestige or
reduced rank should be disregarded. The gen.
eral interest. not that of few individuals,
ought to prevail in the Districts long needed
reform enterprise.

"Dear Sir


"Dear Sir:
"What shall do about these fresh
air fiends in my Office who insist on
putting the window up?
"And, on me! If they put up
windows to blow air down their own
neckS, it wouldn't be so bad, but they
leave their part of the Office and come
away back to mine.
Il can't call fresh air dirty work, but
that is what it amounts to when it hits
the back of my neck.
Il sometimes wonder if my neck is
different from other peoples necks, or
honest about it.
II got in taxi the other day, and
the man had his window down, and a
fine stream Of fresh, cold air hit the
back of the window behind me and
bounced off onto my poor neck.
Il asked the man If he would do
anything about it, and he said, no, he
liked fresh air, himself.
Il told him that it didn't hit him,
and that was the reason he didn't mind
it. but that it did hit me, and that was
the reason I didn't like it.
He said. Well. you know what you
can do?' and I asked 'What?' and he
said get out of the cab if didn't like
it, so got out.
II can't get out Of my Office, so am
writing to ask you what ought to say
and do when some one comes from the
other end and puts up the window on
me.
Sincerely yours. II. D. A.. c."

This and That .

This is a perennial problem in most
Offices, both in and out of Govern
ment.
It seems that nobody wants the
wind on themselves, so they carefully
go to the other end.
Human selfishness rears it's ugly
head again.
It is shown not just in great matters,
but more often in small ones, such as
this.
Not only does the offender come
from many feet away, but he passes up
many windows he might put up closer
to his desk.
All articles Of furniture have charac-
ters.
Desks build up pettiness.
It seems inherent in desks, just as
chairs build 1aziness.
The modern soft-bottomed chair is
a very devils invention. It lures those
who should exercise to soft slumber.
1t makes them incapable Of the best
resistance to life's troubles. They "rust
out" rather than wear out.
The person who thoughtlessly brings
down cold air on another's head ought
to be asked:
why don't you put up that window
close by, instead of coming away over
here?"
Sometimes these thoughtless people
will leave 20 large windows closed all
around them. to 90 so or more feet to
open O window on some one else.

a Troqic Episode

Most Americans-and especially those with
relatives or friends fighting the Communists
in Korea-Will agree with the majority of a
Senate Armed Services Subcommittee that an
avoidable munitions shortage was tragic
episode" in the Korean story. Four out of five
members of the investigating group charged
that official shortsightedness and blundering
early in the war led to a needless loss of life
among our troops. It is true, as the lone dis
senter Senator Kefauver, pointed out that
some of the testimony was conflicting But the
public heard and read enough evidence during
the hearings to be convinced that there was,
indeed, bungling in Washington that placed
some of our fighting men at terrible disad
vantage in crucial times.
Senator Kefauver expressed the opinion
that American families which have lost loved
ones in Korea have sustained grief enough"
without adding to their anguish by the type
of statement" signed by Senators Smith of
Maine, HendrickSon of New Jersey and Cooper
of Kentucky, all Republicans, and Byrd of
Virginia, a Democrat But while criticizing
some of the majority'S "generalities" and con-
clusionS the Tennessee Senator did not dispute
the fact that shortages occurred that, from a
hindSight viewpoint, could have been prevented.
Certainly there is no justification for keeping
this knowledge from those who have been be-
reaVed or Tor playing down mistakes, however
honestly made, that provide lessons for future
conduct of the war. The committee stressed
that "a repetition of this type of miscalculation
and inability to plan for the defense and secu-
rity of the United States could result in catas-
trophe for this Nation
The investigators found that Washington,
from the White House down through various
levels of the Pentagon, miscalculated the length
of the conflict in Korea, undereStimated the
need for greatly stepped up arms-production
program and, worst of all, allowed bureaucratic
red tape and inefficiency to hamper production
and delivery of desperately needed munitions
and equipment. How grave the situation was
regarded in the field is indicated by a quoted
excerpt from telegram which General Ridg-
way, then Far East commander and now desig
mated as Army Chief of Staff, sent here regard
ing the shell shortage. There is direct rela-
ton" the worried commander stated, between
the piles of shells in the ammunition supply
points and the piles of corpses in the graves

Pensioners PLIGHT

The Federal Spotlight reports that
congressional action on Government
employe retirement and survivorship
insurance benefits may be delayed at
least until 1855.
Congress did not hesitate to bring
out of committee bill to double its own
salary. Why then delay legislation to
provide necessities of life to Federal
employees who have retired, the ma
jority of them having 80 to 40 years
service. They have to pay the same
high prices for food, rent, clothing,
etc., as the legislative body out of
small fixed income, which hardly keeps
them alive.
Congress could at least exempt the
retired Government employe from Fed
eral income taxes at this session. which
would be some help while awaiting the
outcome of 1865.
After all, the dollars we paid into
the retirement fund through the years
were worth twice as much as the ones
we receive in return.
Life could be beautiful in retirement
if you could live on your annuity.

Settling 'TideIonds'

Now that President Eisenhower has signed
the bill quitclaiming to the coastal States the
submerged lands and resources lying within
their historic seaWard boundaries, the Senate
should follow the lead of the House in enacting
legislation to provide machinery for Federal
control and development of the much richer
area beyond those boundaries
This area-the So-called "outer" or non-
State area of the continental shelf-contains
by far the greater portion of the Nations Off
shore wealth. The bill signed by the President
recognizes the interests of the Federal Govern
ment in this region, but it does not establish
as does the separate legislation enacted by
the House-the specific procedures and legal
authority needed for Federal development of
all the oil, gas and other resources involved.
Senator Taft is on record as declaring that
the Senate will act upon such legislation in
the near future, and his promise to that effect
should be fulfilled at the earliest possible mo-
ment. For there can be no question, as the
President has said in signing the quitclaim bill,
that the submerged lands outside the historic
seaward boundaries of the States should be
administered by the Federal Government and
income therefrom should 60 into the Federal
Treasury"
AS for the quitclaim itself, the President
has stated a simple truth in declaring that it

of the grossest kind of distortion and misrep-

they have resorted to an extravaganza of Ian
guage that has done violence to facts.
It's opponents have said that the newly
signed bill will be challenged il the Supreme
Court. That may be so, but it is difficult to
see what the challenge can accomplish against
the courts own past assertion of the right Of
Congress to enact such legislation. Given Sen
