PoIicyGuide for Aviation

The Air Coordinating Committee has
presented to President Eisenhower soundly
reasoned analysis of this Governments civil
air polcy-paSt, present and perhaps future.
Indeed, the President said in making public the
report that he would use it "as guide In the
future consideration" of civil aviation problems
and in making appropriate recommendations
to Congress.
The analysis covers the field with thorough
ness-from manufacture to operation OF trans
port aircraft, domestic or international, from
airport MANAGEMENT to mobilization for war.
It tackles, among other things, the contro-
versial subsidy issue and the question OF re-
ducing the uneconomic competition between
American carriers operating over the same or
parallel routes abroad.
The air transport industry has grown up
quickly to earn a high place in the national
economy But in 1888 when the present subsidy
program was developed, the industry was small
and financially weak. It was recognized then
that the public interest warranted Federal
assistance. 1t was not intended, however, that
subsidization by Government should necessarily
be a permanent part of aviations economic
picture and there has been trend toward
reducing the Federal aid in recent years. The
Air Coordinating Committee recommends
further reduction, particularly for lines operat-
ing domestically, and proposes mergers for some
unable to earn their way independently. 1t Is
quite likely that Congress, already attempting
to cut down on appropriations, will agree very
readily to scaling down OF subsidies and some
of the suggested mergers are apt to come about
as direct economic consequence.
Increasingly effective foreign competition
is recognized as a major factor in justifylng
continuance of subsidy help to American nag
carriers abroad. In the face of this situation
however the committee recommended constant
and critical review of American operations
competing with each other. The maintenance
of American services abroad-and by more than
one line-has clearly obvious value in terms OF
earnings, prestige and experience. There ap-
pears to be economic sense, however, in the
committees feeling that the American carriers
should as far as possible avoid direct competi-
ton with each other.

Views on Segregation Decision

1t is heartening to know that many
Of our church groups have voiced their
approval Of the Supreme Courts deci-
sion on school segregation.
Being profeSsed Christians, we in the
United States look to our churches for
divine guidance in ways to apply our
avowed belief in the human dignity of
man and that all men are created free
and equal.
If we are to believe this and also have
others in far-off lands, who have not
yet embraced the Christian religion.
accept our faith. then we must, in fact,
place into actual practice our teach
ingS. For isn't it true that our Chris
tian concept and our democratic ideals
closely parallel each other? Being mind
full then of these truths, it shouldn't
be difficult for all Of us to work har-
moniously together during the transi-
ton period of so many great social and
economic changes taking place in our
communities.
r. T. Harris.
After this last and most vicious
decision of the predominantly New
Deal Supreme Court. the Southern
people will be fools indeed if they
help vote the Northern Democrats
into power again. This divisive de-
cision rends at the vitals of one Of
the largest and most tradition bound
areas of our country. What price ap-
peasing Russia and the colored
masses of the world if, in doing so,
we disturb the tranquility Of millions
of American children and bring re-
sentiment and anguish Of mind to
people who constitute very major
segment of our population? The
answer might be a constitutional
amendment spelling out the rights of
States to regulate education at local
levels. A conservative amendment Of
this kind might find easy passage
through the necessary three -fourths
of the State legislatures. The recent
amendment banning a presidential
third term didn't have much trouble
getting through.

An Appeal for Anarchy

The Republican leadership at both ends of
Pennsylvania avenue ought to take long, hard
look at what Senator Mccarthy is trying to do
Waving the banner of super patriotism, he
has notified" some million Federal employees
that he believes "it is their duty to give us
(his committee) any information which they
have about graft, corruption, communism and
treason" There is, he added, mo loyalty to
superior officer which can tower above and
beyond their loyalty to their country"
The implications of this are shocking
Clearly, it can only mean that the officials in
the executive establishment, including the
President, are not to be trusted. If an officer
in, let us say, Army Intelligence has informa-
ton acquired in his official capacity which he
thinks bears on communism, he is not merely
to report it to his superiors. It is his "duty"
to bring it to Senator Mccarthy. If an FBI
agent should discover spy at work, Is he to
report his discovery only to j. Edgar Hoover,
or is it also his duty" to report it to Senator
Mccarthy? If the Senator would make an
exception in this instance, does he contend
that Mr.. Hoover alone Is to be trusted in the
executive branch?
Senator Mccarthy is saying, in effect, that
he is the supreme Judge of what is good for
the United States, and that the highest duty
of all Federal workers Is to come to him with
their doubts, their fears, their suspicious and
their misgivings. If this were to be done, it
would be impossible to maintain any security
measures in the executive branch. The CO.
equal arm of our Government soon would be
unable to function Chaos and, a kind of
anarchy would be the inevitable result
No Senator who takes such an irresponsible
stand is fit to head a committee created to
investigate the executive branch. For what he
proposes is not to investigate, but to destroy.
The Senate leadership, with the plain notice
which Senator Mccarthy has given as to what
he really advocates, should refuse to permit
him to resume his Craftsmanship. If he does
resume it, the President would be amply just-
fed in forbidding any subordinate of his to
appear before the committee while the Wscon-
sin Senator is in the chair

Spires Of the Spirit
God Remembers

In his poem on "All Saints" James
Russell Lowell has haunting phrase
''in Gods still memory folded deep"
The records Of the long cons are folded
deep in the rock archives of the con-
gealed earth. Somewhere, everything
that has happened is recorded and
filed away in the underground vaults
OF the universe. Those accurate in
scribings suggest the unerring remem-
brance of the God who is back Of all
and in all.
AS the annual Memory Day Of the
Nation invites patriotic pilgrims to
tread sacred paths leading to monu-
ments and cemeteries. we are made
wildly aware that every one Of today's
benedictionS has its roots in costly
sacrifices, The poppies in today's fields
are red because in heroic yesterdays
there were those who bled. The ulti-
mate deSecration is to smile cynically at
the past, instead Of kneeling gratefully
at the altar of memory.
History is one long reminder that,
even when man forgets, God remem-
bers. When the cringing expediency OF
a day cries, Forget and COMPROMISED.

In shameful and tragic day a score
Of years ago the king Of very ancient
land gave notable utterance to painful
truth. 1t was an hour when the con-
science Of those composing the League
of Nations was numbed by the deadly
drug Of appeasement. At the bar of
that forum stood one who now Is the
honored guest Of our Nation, Halle
Selassie Of Ethiopia, whose royal lineage
goes straight back to King Solomon.
His majesty never was more majestic
than when he appeared before the
covering and recreant League and
uttered words which need to be written
across our national sky in these dread
days Of decision. Here Is his piercing
sentence: God and history will re-
member your judgment"
The Italian dagger was being hurled
at the heart of his proud nation whose
religion is rooted in the very beginnings
Of Christianity. If. then, a score of

A Law No Longer Needed

There have been cogent reasons in years
past for not enforcing the 40-year-old ban on
alley dwellings. There are even more cogent
reasons today for not enforcing this unwise law.
Therefore, the repeal bill introduced by Sena-
tor Beall of Maryland should be passed at this
session of Congress.
The old law had the commendable purpose
Of clearing Washington's alleys of unsightly
and unhealthful shacks These were regarded
by District authorities as a menace to public
health, morals and safety. In order not to cause
hardships to the occupants, Congress originally
gave them until July 1, 1914 to find other quar-
ters. That deadline arrived with the alley
dwellers still clinging to their places and Dis
trict officials reluctant to throw them onto the
street. Congress extended the deadline first for
two years and then for nine more years The
present date for eviction of the last alley inhab
liant is July l. 1855
Meanwhile change has come over some
of the inhabited alleys. Builders have capi-
talized on the fad for old houses by moderniz-
ing many of the old structures and selling them
to respectable citizens for fancy prices. Several
of the once diSgraceful courts" now are attrac-
tive residential centers. The houses have all
modern conveniences and the eXteriors show
the effects of fine architectural treatment To
allow the old alley-dwelling ban to force aban-
donment of these attractive homes would be
absurd In fact, abandonment would open the
way for a return to the very conditions of decay
that the old law was designed to counteract.
The District Commissioners sensibly have
taken stand against such an unwise turn of
events. The District has laws for the condem-
nation of insanitary and unsafe dwellings,
whether in alleys or on streets. While these
laws need strengthening, they are adequate to
evict occupants from any condemned structure.
There is no need for a sweeping alley-dwelling
ban in order to get at the relatively few alley
buildings unfit for human occupancy. Scrap
ping of the outmoded law would be in the public
interest.

Risky Economy

Representatives of the National Tubercu-
losiS Association have given Senate Appropria-
tions subcommittee some forceful arguments
against a proposed SO per cent reduction in
Federal grantS-to-States for tuberculosis con-
troll. The drastic cut, it was testified would
mean a dangerously curtailed X-ray detection
program during the next fiscal year, although
early detection of the disease is the only effec-
tive means of controlling it. Since the cost Of
detection is but fraction of the cost of belated
disqualification of advanced cases, it is obviously
false economy to neglect the X-ray program.
Lives as we'll as dollars may be lost through
inadequate detection efforts.
For the current fiscal year Congress ap-
proved Federal grants to the States totaling
$4,275000 Most of this money is being used to
help finance extensive X-ray programs, through
which more than 100000 new cases were re-
ported. The States counties and cities have
been bearing the cost of hospitalizing these new
patients Through such cooperative team
work the TB scourge has lost great deal of its
old mortality. In the past 10 years the
death rate has dropped by "a per cent. The
case rate, however, has declined less sharply
by only 18 per cent. Early diagnosis thus has
saved many victims from death and averted the
danger of their injecting others with the dread
disease
But if, as proposed by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, Federal grants
are more than cut in half next year, nearly
8 million fewer persons can be X-rayed than in
the current fiscal period. This would mean that
many of the 100000 as yet undetected TB cases
(eStimated) would continue hidden-threaten-
ing death to some who might otherwise be
saved, spreading infection to well persons and
adding to the cost of disqualification, welfare
rolls compensation and pensions. Any such
budget cut as that proposed for the TB program
would be risky from the public health stand
point and unsound economically

Up to Manufacturers

Up to Manufacturers
Elliott of RCA, which owns
NBC. says THE manufacturers
for the first time will have
considerable responsibility in
supporting color program
ming"
Three of the four TV net
works. incidentally, are con-
nected with the set-making
business. RCA operates NBC,
Allen B. Du Mont Laborato-
ries, Inc, operates the Du Mont
TV network and the Columbia
Broadcasting System, Inc, op-
crates the CBS-TV network
and also CBS-Columbia which
makes sets. Only ABC-TV,
which is a division of Ameri-
can Broadcast1ng Paramount
Theaters, Inc, has no set
manufacturing connections.
Expanding Proeroms
NBC now is putting on one
to two color shows a week
and plans to have three or
more week by the end of the
year.
CBS-TV has one color pro-
gram a week. It had planned
to step up to two or three a
week in the second quarter of
the year but this has been
postponed until about July
because of delays encountered
in equipping the Eighty first
Street Theater here for color.
CBS-Columbia plans to be in
production of 19-inch color
sets late in the year.
Allen B. Du Mont Labors-
tories, Inc, has decided not to
offer any color T'V sets for sale
until it can-develop large screen
sets, and the Du Mont TV net
work has as yet announced no
plans for regular color pro-
gramming. ABC also is NOV
ing slowly on its color plans
with no programs on the air
yet.
Elliott implies, though, that
some of the set makers who
are not in broadcasting may
have to help carry the ball if
color is to reach the public to
any great extent in the imme-
diate future.

Back to the Tovern, Men
That's Where Viewers Are Expected
For Those ST 900 Color TV Sets
RU
By Wayne Oliver
NEW YORK.


Restaurants and bars may
lead the way with color tele-
vision sets as they did in black
and white.
That prospect is pointed out
by Joseph B. Elliott, executive
vice president of Radio Corp.
of America, who says he ex-
poets taverns to be good GUS
toners for color sets even at
$1,000 each.
He points out that in the
early days Of black and white
when sets were priced higher
than the average family was
willing to pay, taverns often
shelled out 1000 and more
for sets because they were
magnets that drew in Gus
toners.
Black-and-white TV sets no
longer do much to attract GUS
toners because nearly every
body has one at home, but Ell
lott says color should be the
kind of magnet early black
and-white TV was. And once
one tavern in a neighborhood
gets a set, the others can hard
ly afford not to follow suit.
The other big showcase for
color TV, he figures, will be
dealers showrooms and dis
play windows.
Elliott goes along with those
who say there will be no mass
buying of color sets until you
can get a 19-inch or 21-inch
set for around $500, and he
figures that will be three to five
years from now.
Customers Expected
But he foresees an ample
supply of customers for the
limited output of his and other
companies on the early, high
priced models. Besides the tav-
erns, restaurants and clubs,
and the thousands of dealers
who will buy sample sets for
display, he expects quite a few
sets to be sold to "the Lincoln
and Cadillac trade folks
who bought big-screen black
and-white sets when they were
$500 to $4,000 per set. RCA
has started turning out color
sets at $1,000 each and plans
to make 10000 by the end of
the year.
A major point in connection
with color is: The public isn't
likely to buy many sets until
there's more color program
ming on the air to Justify the
high cost of sets. Do the
manufacturers of these color
sets have any obligation to
their customers to help pro-
vide the color DrOorapoSo
