Inconsiderate Driver
Blamed in Deaths

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp yesterday cited speed
Ing and lack of consideration for
pedestrians on the part of driv-
erS as the Districts biggest safe
ty problems.
Addressing the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association Mr.. Keneipp
said At of the 70 persons killed
In traffic accidents last year were
pedestrians. He added that
speeding was involved in IS per
cent of the fatalities.
After stressing the fact that
pedestrians legally have the
right of way at uncontrolled in
tersections. Mr.. Keneipp added
that, in Washington. ''any one
who tries to assert his rights as
a pedestrian won't last long"
He recommended stiff fines for
offending motorists as a protec-
ton for pedestrians. pointing to
the example set by Los Angeles
and other West cities.
Automobile manufacturers who
stress the speed and power of
their products also came in for
severe criticism.
why not stress the safety,
comfort and economy features?"
Mr.. Keneipp asked.
The association met in the

Senator Edwin C. Johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado said to-
day he is mot taking seriously
yet" a move to draft him into the
race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor in Colorado.
Senator Johnson recently an
nounced he would not be can
didate for reelection. His deci-
sion was generally regarded as a
blow to Democratic hopes of win
ming Senate control in the No.
Vember elections.
The veteran Colorado Senator
said some of his friends are get
ting excited" about drafting him
for the State race, but he added
they'll cool off later"
Senator Johnson apparently
means to stick to his decision not
to seek the Senate seat. but there
was in his statement at least an
indication he will think about re-
manning in politics at the State
level.
Democrats here frankly hope
that, if Senator Johnson won't
run for the Senate, he can be
prevailed upon to run for Cover
nor and thus strengthen their
ticket in a State where other
Democrats have not had much
luck recently.

.Takoma Park Youth
Gets 15-Year Term
In Florists HoIdup

Judge Charles w. woodward
of Montgomery County Circuit
Court yesterday dashed out at the
wildness of today's young people.
as he sentenced a 20-year-old
holdup man to Is years in prison.
The defendant, Alton G. Wake
field, of Takoma Park, was de-
scribed by Defense Attorney
Ralph G. Shure as the product
of overly strict upbringing.
Judge Woodward, however.
said the parents should have no
feeling of guilt for what their
son did.
1.-The young people Of today
are going crazy" the judge de-
clared. kids think their faith
ers and mothers are old fogeys
that their way of life and
their morality are out of date"
Addressing himself to the slim.
bespectacled Wakefield, the jul
rist said: You're too dangerous
to be on the loose. The only
thing can do is lock you up"
Pleaded Guilty.
Wakefield was arrested on
January 49,, a few hours after he
robbed a Takoma Park florist by
threatening him with an 18-inch
piece of pipe. He was sentenced
to 10 years for that offense and
one year for stealing the florists
panel truck, after pleading guilty
to both charges.
The sentences, which. are to
run concurrently, include Is years
in the Maryland House of Cor
rection for the holdup of the
Silver Spring Loan Co. last De-
cember 81. In that case Wake
field was found guilty by a jury
yesterday of taking more than
$8O0 at gun point from Fair
Loans, Inc, at 1906 Georgia ave-
nue..
Wakefield also was indicted by
a grand jury in the holdup of a
Silver Spring loan Office last No
Vember. States Attorney Walter
w. Dawson said the November
holdup indictment will be kept on
the holdover docket.

In addition, a detainer has
been placed against the youth in

identified Wakefield as the gun
man who fled after holding two
loan company employees as host
ages.
The youths parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Wakefield. who OPP

both testified he badly wanted
a car but was refused.
Mrs. Wakefield told the judge
psychologists and psychiatrists
had examined the boy after he
exhibited abnormal emotional
intensity" She said he became
rebellious against his parents
strict standards and wanted to
go to movies, a recreation their
religion opposes. Last year he
moved away from home and took
a room in Silver Spring, the
mother said.
Mr.. Shure, asking the judge
for leniency, said Wakefield is
"a sick boy. but not insane" He
said the youths parents were
too good and too strict" for the
boys good.

Despite the repeated and
costly demonstrations we
Americans have exhibited Of
our idealisrn and devotion to
international morality. our
closest associates see our "do-
goodness as merely a camou-
flage. Their attitude was illus
trated very recently In the dis
cussions between American,
British and French diplomats
on the Red China subject and
the Pacific defense system.
We pointed out that Amer
ica's interests in the Pacific
were vital to US, and were a
strategic problem neither
France nor Britain shared. We
declared that colonialisrn was
dead, and that the mainte-
nance Of free, strong ASiatic
nations was essential to us as
forming links in the Pacific
security chain. And the Ma
tionalist regime on Formosa
was declared to be an import
ant part of the chain.
Our allies had a prompt re-
ply to that argument, and
their reply was as promptly
rejected. to their annoyance.
What they proposed was the
creation Of a Formosan re-
public, through free elections,
to be placed under the trustee
ship of the United States.
Thus, said our allies, we could
keep the manpower and bases
Of Formosa in our defense
system, since Chang Kai-shek
would be a cinch to be elected

II the "censure" resolution

pressed by a chairman Of q
committee he can introduce q
resolution and presumably get
a vote on whether the "con-

Chinu's Place in the World
Communist Census Puts the Population at 602 Million
Which Is About OneFourth of the Human Race

Peiping has announced that
the census Of China. including
Formosa and overseas Chinese
colonies. completed q year ago.
reveals that the Chinese peo-
pie number 602 million.
Although one must view
these figures with caution, the
Communist regime has been
the first to attempt a system
attic census. using teams of
youths filed with zeal for the
project, and working In every
locality under trained super
visors.
Allowing for margins of
error and for the fact that
the census of non-mainland
Chinese had to be estimated
only, but assuming that the
main figures are substantially
correct, approximately one
fourth Of the human race are
Chinese. And even If these
figures are rejected and an
average struck between them
and previous estimates, the
Chinese population outnum-
bers that Of Western Europe
and America combined, and is
more than double that Of the
Soviet Union.
In fact, China, whatever its
political color, is the most
formidable reservoir Of man
power on earth, whose people,
hardy, enterprising and per-
sistent, have demonstrated
their capacity to survive and
flourish under conditions that
have sunk less vigorous races
into apathy and stagnation. In
fact, if the decline of the

ago by Oswald Spengler and
before him by many others,

Was this conduct unbecom-

Gus other counts.
Now the leader Of the Brit
ish Labor Party, Clement Att
lee, in the House Of Commons
debate, has suggested that
nine million Chinese inhabit-
ing Formosa be put under
United Nations trusteeship,
that the Chinese Peoples Re-
public be recognized and seat
ed in the United Nations Sc
curity Council, and that the
world recognize that the main
spring of the China revolution
is not communism but ma

The first suggestion is nom

choice Of being wards of

overwhelming likelihood is
that the Formosa population
would choose the latter.
But why-and perhaps the
question is naive-should we

there being one China under
one central government?
There never has been. Even
if every fourth person on the
globe is Chinese, they are not
all the same kind Of Chinese.
Racially, linguistically and

identical. and such kinship

What is conduct unbeconl-
ing a member Of the United
States Senate" and what is
meant by contrary to Senate

duct that tends to bring the /,

These phrases, contained in

ator Flanders Of Vermont, Re-

cause hardly q member Of the

Lefty is hereafter to be re-

Senator Flanders, who has
proposed the condemnation Of
Senator Mccarthy Of Wiscon-
sin, Republicans, for his "con-
duct" as chairman of the sub
committee on Government in
vestigations, has been getting
q lot of publicity himself in
recent days by his personal at

introducing a resolution to

Our difficulties with our
European allies may have been
patched up enough to permit.
some kind Of solution to the
Indo-C China problem at Geneva.
But fundamental differences
remain the same today as they
were q month ago.
The major parting Of the
ways, Of course, is the queS-
ton Of recognition for Red
China. and the substitution of
the Peiping regime for the
Nationalist in the United Ma
tiol1S.
While 1t Is true that the
British and French have soft
ened their pressure for United
States recognition Of Red Chi
ma since the explosions In Con-
gress recently. they have not
changed their minds on the
subject. Rather they have de-
cided for the present to let
sleeping dogs lie.
Our European allies view the
United Nations primarily as a
political organization. In keep
ing with such an evaluation,
they consider it wholly per-
MISSILE to employ expediency
in u. N. affairs. After all, they
say, we have the u. S. S. r.
in the world organization; why
not Red China as well?
The stand taken by the
American people, as voiced by
President Eisenhower, that our
opposition to Red China is
based on moral grounds, is
Scoffed at abroad. Morality
and political expediency are
not good bed-fellows, our allies
say. and in the world Of today
morality must give way to ex-
pediency.
Basically. this reasoning Is
precisely that prevailing when
the then Big Four met at
Munich and agreed to sacrifice
Czechoslovakia to the insati-
able demands Of Adolf Hitler.
It is the same argument heard
in 1886 when Ethiopia was
sacrificed to Mussolini. It is the
same naturalization, unfor-
tunately agreed to by some Of
our own political leaders, that
sacrificed Poland and the
