Reossuring to Foreign Service
Runored Selections for important Ambossodoships Indicate
Secretary Dulles Is Not Seeking Opinions Of Yes-Men

make his opinions and recon-
mendations less acceptable
than they were at the time
they were formulated. 1t was a
warning to the timid to con-
slider their own personal in
terest rather than the coun-
try's best interest.
The report so f1abbergasted
Secretary Acheson that, in an
effort to obtain a cool appraisal
of it, free from all political
considerations. he asked a
group of distinguished citizens
to study it and give him their
views. To head the group he
named Judge Learned Hand,
probably the most eminent and
least controversial jurist in all
America, frequently called not
merely the lawyers judge but
the judges Judge. Before this
group could complete it's task,
however, the new adlninistra-
ton came in and dissolved it.
It was announced that the
State Department would han
die the matter itself, without
the aid of either the Review
Board or Acheson's reviewers
of the Review Board. This is
just as well if in handling it
the Department concerns it
self solely with the integrity of
the Foreign Service and Fefuses
to be influenced by the political
opportunistS who have long
made a career of bedeviling the
department.
Just the same, there is
reason to regret that the coun-
try is not to hear from Judge

are to be named to important
ambaSsadorships and among
the men named is none re-
garded hereabouts as a yes
man. The Secretary would
seem to be making good his
assertion on taking Office that
yes-men are not desired; in
other words. that he doesn't
want men telling him only
what they think he would like
to hear. The assurance, it is to
be presumed. goes even fur
ther: that the Foreign Service
men will not be expected to
make their reports conform to
what they think anybody else,
including members of Con-
gresS. would like to hear.
Successful foreign policy
cannot be based on wishful
thinking. It cannot be based
on the sort of fuzzy mental
processes revealed by the 10y
atty Review Board in the case
of John Carter Vincent.
The Loyalty Review Board
has been abolished by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, but he and
Secretary Dulles still have it's

report was a clear warning to

President Eisenhower was in
vited today to address the an
nual meeting of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors
here April 1918.
He took the invitation under
advisement. It was extended In
person by Wright Bryan, editor
of the Atlanta journal and ASNE
president, and group of ASNE
members.
Order Is Not Mentioned.
Mr.. Bryan said neither his
group nor the President brought
up the question of former Presi-
dent Truman's 1851 controversial
order empowering the heads Of
Federal civilian agencies to with
hold information they decide
would endanger national secu-
rity if made public. There have
been reports Gen. Eisenhower
was about to revoke it.
ASNE and other newspaper or
ganizationS have denounced the
Truman order as censorship or
inviting censorship. It's annual
spring meeting might revive the
issue if the President meanwhile
has not lifted it.

case. He might very well have
something to say that would
serve to clear the poisoned air.
In October. speaking to the
University of the State of New
York, he said:
Risk for risk. for myself I
had rather take my chance
that some traitors will escape
detection than spread abroad
a spirit of general suspicion
and distruSt, which accepts
rumor and gossip in place of
undismayed and unintimidated
inquiry. I believe that COM
munity is already in process
of dissolution where each man
begins to eye his neighbor as
a possible enemy. where nom
conformity with the accepted
creed, political as well as re-
ligious. Is mark of disaffec-
ton; where denunciation with
out specific citation or backing
takes the place of evidence:
where orthodoxy chokes free
dom of dissent; where faith in
the eventual supremacy of rea-
son has become so timid that
we dare not enter our con-
victions in the open lists to
win or lose. Such fears as these
are a solvent which can eat
out the cement that binds the
stones together; they may in
the end subject us to a des-
potism as evil as any that we
dread: and they can be allayed
only in so far as we refuse to
proceed on suspicion. and trust
one another until we have
tangible ground for misgiv-

Indo- China hazarded by the
Fornlosa decision, apprehend-
ing that naval and air war
along the China coast will COM
pei the Chinese Communists to
intervene in full force in Indo-
China-as they have not yet
done; from Malaga, where
leading newspapers find a pos
sible military gain negligible
compared to increased politi-
cal danger: from Indonesia.
where influential personalities
protest the extension of the
war front; and from India.
where the immediate reaction
is bitterly negative.
Will the denunciation of the
Yalta and Potsdam agreements
promote French acceptance of
the rearming of West Ger
many?
French opposition to Ger
man rearmament, even within
a European army, is largely
due to apprehension that
France may be drawn into a
war to recover lost German
territories. France would cer-
tainly not be a reliable part
ner for the realization of any
aims in East Europe.
Therefore we should think
the net effect of reopening
Yalta and Potsdam would be
to retard Franco-German
unity. increase British aloof-
ness from continental Europe,
encourage the most nationalist
forces in Germany, and en-
barrass pro-American govern
ments facing domestic oppoSi-
ton.
The question is not whether
these reactions are right or
wrong. Politics must deal
with political realities. 1t
would be ironical If policies
of American anti-isolationists
should contribute to the iso-
lationizing of America.

URGE DRIVERS
TO BE ON ALERT
Motorists Warned to Always
Expect the Unexpected
From Children
PRACTICES SUGGESTED

Children, like flowers, come out
in Spring" With those words ].
James Ashton, Manager of the Del
aware Safety Council warned local
motorists to be on the alert for
children on bicycles and on foot.
But children aren't like flowers in
one respect, he said. Children
don't stay put. In fact, the only
way drivers can really play it safe
is always to expect the unexpected
from youngsters. ]. James Ashton
spoke on behalf of the Child Pedes-
trian and Bicycle Safety campaign
being conducted this month by the
Smyrna times., 1953-05-07

Delaware Safety Council in COOP
Grafton with the National. "Chil-
dren are always unpredictable," he
said, "but at this time of year, when
they are released from school and
house, they represent even a great
er hazard" He especially warned
motorists to be on the alert for
children. either on foot or on a
bicycle, tricycle. or other vehicle,
suddenly darting into the roadway
from driveways, from behind park
ed cars or at intersections. Mr..
Ashton listed four suggestions for
motorists to put into practice this
month and every month:
Practices Suggested
1. Be on the alert in zones where
children might naturally be ex-
pected. Residential areas, school
zones, playground areas, athletic
fields, vacant lots-these are po-
tential danger spots.
2. Watch carefully for children
on tricycles, roller skates, wagons,
scooters, bicycles. Unpredictable
on foot, children are even more
unpredictable on wheels.
3. Give the child "brake-and
resist the temptation to honk your
horn. A sudden blast from a horn
can throw a child into a panic.
4. Remember every minute you
are driving always expect the un-
expected from children.
