Good Government for All

Florence CannonS statement that
had been with Moses in the wilderness
would have opposed the Ten Com
mandmentS seems to demand some
refutation. can assure Mrs. Cannon
that I believe in both the Ten Com
mandmentS and good government for
all the people.
Her letter carries one message for
me: That Mrs: Cannon again aspires to
Office.
I leave to the voters Of Arlington the
decision as to whether an organization
that annually nominates candidates,
collects campaign funds, issues cam
paign literature, drafts a platform.
makes political deals and seeks by all
available methods to elect its candi-
dates, is or is not a political party,
: whether called Democratic, Republican
or Non-P Partisan.
AS to Non-Partisan friendlineSs to-
ward business, the first paragraph of
letter written by Mrs. Cannon, while
board member, to a leading and re-
Spected Arlington businessman, said:
Reference is made to your letter Of the
20th. The paragraph Of your letter to
Mr.. Lundberg last week about which
commented seemed to me to be most
intemperate and representative of an
arrogant attitude Of greater interest in
che prosperity Of your company than in
the County as a whole or in good public
relations" There followed hint that
he should either create park around
his plant or remove his business else
where.
My reference to wasteful spending Of
public funds by her group Mortified
Mrs. Cannon but they are even now
acting like spoiled brats over the
County Boards refusal to approve the
purchase of SO acres of land for one
school and playground in a section Of
limited possible growth near the Fair
fax line.
The school system, still in their
hands, has provided in its proposed
budget for: One non-teaching employe
for each two teachers; one employe for
every II pupils: one secondary school
teacher for each 1913 children and, as
usual, tax increase.
The Non-Partisan Party was created
by public demand for more schools.
It did build schools, though expensive
and ornate. Better schools soon
changed from a program to a clever
political slogan spearheading a local
version of the tax-spend-elect program
so successfully used elsewhere. County
bonded Indebtedness rose to astronomi-
cal heights with no diminution in sight.
AS result, a second uprising occurred
last year which removed all Non-Parti-
sans from the County Board. Cleansing
Of the School Board should follow this
year. Charles w. Carter.

They Should Be Tried

The commissioners have acted In the public
interest in ordering Police Chief Murray to
consider the advisability Of instituting trial
board proceedings against suspended Police
Inspectors Albert I. Bullock and Beverly c.
Beach. In fact the instructions to Chief
Murray might well have been more specific.
For in fairness to the officers themselves as
well as to the Police Department, the clouds
now hanging over the two inspectors should be
cleared away if they are innocent Of any
wrongdoing. They should be given a final
opportunity to dispel the clouds by appearing
before trial boards and explaining their ques-
toned finances.
Only vindication or conviction by trial
board will settle either of these cases to the
satisfaction of the department and of the
public which it serves Failure Of the grand
jury to bring charges against the pair is not
enough to clear the air of doubts raised by
their testimony last year before the Senate Dis
trict Crime Investigating Committee. Neither
OF the veteran officers explained why he was
able to deposit more money in banks than he
received in pay and other reported income.
Inspector Beach has yet to account for about
$4,000 above regular income that committee
investigators found he had deposited over
period of years. Inspector Bullock has not yet
accounted for $500 above income reported by
investigators.
Inspector Bullock three times has applied
for retirement, but, on recommendation Of
Chief Murray, the applications are being held
by the Commissioners pending settlement of
the question of his future with the department.
If tried and recommended for dismissal, he
presumably would lose his retirement-for-age
privileges, including pension, If this is possible
under the retirement law. Inspector Beach is
not old enough to apply for retirement, unless
he could prove disability not due to his own
negligence Under an appellate court ruling he
apparently could not be denied a disability
pension by dismiSsing him on charges involving
alleged offenses committed subsequent to a
disability.
The Commissioners have directed Chief
Murray to consult with the corporation coun-
sells Office regarding legal aspects Of the Bullock
and Beach cases. Careful study is advisable,
for the regulations Of the two officers and the
welfare of the Police Department are at stake.
It would be unfortunate, however, If this matter
should be allowed to drag any longer than Is
absolutely necessary. The Bullock-Beach phase
Of the Senate disclosures calls for prompt settle
ment, in the interest of the good order and
discipline of the police force

Rent-ControI Caution

The congressional inclination to 60 slow in
voting any extension of rent control for Wash
ington is understandable. Testimony in favor
of extension at a recent public hearing called
by the Commissioners was far from impressive.
AS a result Of that hearing the Board of Com
missioners voted unanimously against asking
Congress to continue rent regulation in the
District beyond June 80 next. The law is sched-
uled to expire April 80, but the Commissioners
suggested two-month extension pending con-
gressional action on national controls.
The two-month extension proposal has
been renewed by the reorganized Board of Com
missioners (Mr. Spencer having replaced Mr.
Donohue). But Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee has announced that he will
not press for action on the local temporary ex-
tension in view of Senate plans for taking up
the national rent-control issue shortly. The
national law is scheduled to die on April 80,
too unless Congress passes new legislation. The
"lets wait and see' attitude of Senator Case
is justified, under the circumstances. In the
absence of substantial proof of critical housing
shortage here, local rent control should be
allowed to die quiet and honorable death.
The tail lights on motorcars in the first
year of the new Republican era are bigger than
the headlights used to be, but maybe this
shouldn't be interpreted as a renewed emphasis
on what lies behind US.

Fraternity in the Clear

Your paper has been running articles
about the police raid of q fraternity
stag and Of the Washington Board of
Eoucat1on's stand on fraternities and
secret societies in the public high
schools.
1t was stated what schools the Of
tenders attended. If q survey of the
boys was taken to find out what fra
ternal order. they were members of, it
would have discovered that one of the
largest high school fraternal organiza-
tions in Washington did not have one
Of its members at that stag. Your paper
ran articles on how the fraternities
were unsupervised and about the Board
Of Education forbidding fraternal or
ganizations in the high schools. How
ever, the paper did not state that there
Is one fraternity that Is recognized
and is under responsible advisers.
This one that is recognized by the
Board is the one that did not have q
single member at the stag. This de-
scribes the Aleph Zadik Aleph, a junior
order of B'nai Birth. In Washington
there are five chapters with combined
membership Of over 125 boys from
CNCAy AASA ONAAOO4 4AA w dA1O
in the surrounding area.
The night of the stag, the members
Of AzA had other things to do, more
important than having Fun Galore as
the stags tickets announced. Four out
of the five chapters had social affairs
that night. a house party, hayride,
a cabin party, and swim party.
Supervision Of all AZA activities is
always maintained. Advisors for each
chapter is must, and the advisers are
under the supervision Of a regional
director. Stays where obscene movies
are shown. gambling and drinking at
AZA affairs are prohibited.
Two Of the objects of AZA are '"To
offer supervised leisure time activities
in which youth make happy adjust,
mentS to real life situations by making

vidual interests and developing skills:

The Italian Political Scene

In the light of the Kremlin's currently
peaceabe conduct an interesting and perhaps
significant demonstration of Communist Party
behavior on this side of the Iron Curtain may
take place during the next two months in Italy.
An electoral reform law designed to favor
the center parties on the Italian political stage
has been pushed through the Parliament and
both branches of the legislative body have been
dissolved pending q national vote, tentatively
scheduled for June z. BY terms of the law,
any party or coalition recording more than
so per cent of the popular vote will take IS per
cent of the parliamentary seats While the
Christian Democratic Party of Premier deGas-
peri has lost some popular strength since its
convincing victory IN 1s48, it has formed q
solid alliance in the past two years with three
other center parties-the Republican, Liberal
and Right-Wing Socialist groups. It is reason
ably safe to assume, therefore, that electoral
challenges from the neo-fascist element on one
side and the Communist forces on the other
will win each Of these no more than minority
position in the Parliament.
The italian Communist Party is the largest
outside the Iron Curtain and is under the
vigorous and skillful leadership of Pietro Nenni
Nenni visited the late Stain in Moscow last
summer and the party, joined by the Left Wing
Socialists, has carried on campaign of violent
opposition to Italian collaboration with the
West in general and Italian adherence to the
European Defense Community In particular
While 1t has been widely speculated that one
of the objectives Of the current peace offensive
from Moscow is to discourage the various
movements toward unity in Western Europe,
and especially the formation of the European
army, the coming campaign in Italy will
demonstrate whether the Communist Party is
still willing to make this an open and major
issue.
AS far as the EDO ratification prospects
are concerned, Premier deGasperi has been one
of its staunchest advocates. His announced
plan was to push for ratification this spring and
it is probable he could have attained this OBJ
jective although the extreme right and left
groups were prepared to resist in unruly fashion
The strategy he is now employing will give him
opportunity to make his center coalition even
stronger in parliamentary votes, while waiting
for the two key powers in the defense COM
munity-France and West Germany-to fill
their proper lead roles.

REMEMBERING Homes

Enoch Chase of the Maplewood Citi-
zens Association is to be commended
for his excellent letter protesting the
arbitrary manner in which the street
names and numbers are to be changed
in his neighborhood. Permit me to
open up even wider vistas calculated
to enrage the hapless and helpless tax
payer in Montgomery County.
After living at 217 Eastwood avenue,
Northwood Park, Silver Spring, Md.
for II years. we were airily informed
by the Maryland-Nati Park and
Planning Commission that our street
number was to be changed to 10417,
three-number change. This change
was effective as the new phone books
came out, and adding to the confusion
Of new phone number, the old street
address remained in the phone book,
even though the street number change
must have been contemplated some
months in advance. Add to that all
printed stationery, drivers license,
registration card, change Of address
for magazines, notification to friends
and on, ad nauSeum.
Complaining bitterly to q former
county official, he hastened to assure
me it was not the fault of the MNCPPC,
but the Post Office. They insisted on
all numbers conforming. That was all
right with me till my mail started ar
irving with the new numbers crossed
of and the old one substituted and
neatly lettered. mo such address" or
wrong address! It is easy to under
stand the necessity of consecutive street
numbers. but what in the world have
the MNCPPC been doing for II years,
allowing real estate subdividers to
blithely pull numbers and names out
of the air. The Commission has to
pass on all subdivisions and develop
mentS.
Mr.. Chase is probably aware Of the
futility of writing a protest to this
agency. I know, tried it. On second
thought, guess I don't blame them
for not answering the letter I wrote.

Charges From Suit

LOS ANGELES, Up Bin g
Crosby's lawyers have moved to
strike intoxication allegations
from the $1,O51, 400 damage suit
filed against him over an auto
crash.
The singers attorneys also ask
ed the superior court Friday to
rule out a claim for punitive dam

Crosby is being sued by Frank

claim the crooner went through a
