Says Keep the 'RoscoIs' Out

Any man who votes for Democratic
Congress with the idea that he will
thereby protect his job will only be
fooling himself. Politicians do not
make real jobs. There is no substitute
for public confidence. Only an under
lying conviction upon the part of the
great masses of people that business is
going to go right along as usual, pro-.
notes the kind of confidence that
makes people turn their money loose
in all sorts of projects, which in turn
produce the real jobs. Any other sort
of job is synthetic one, artificially
produced and resting upon base Of
sand. Only the confidence of the peo-

Emblem for Teachers

Doubtless, millions of teachers
throughout the world feel that since
we are members Of profession which
is many centuries old and which is held
In the highest esteem by all mankind,
it is far past the time that we should
have an emblem representative Of our
lofty and serviceable calling.
The doctor has the little circular
tag with the letters ND" written on
it appended to the rear OF his car; the
nurse has a similar tag with the letters
'sR.N" which is employed in the same
manner. and many men Of religion use
an emblem by which they may be
identified. But the lowly, quietly hard
working. loyal, and ever faithful school
teacher who, after the parents. is closer
to the worlds children than any one
else has no emblem to identify him at
all

BroyhiII's Views on Mccarthy

In your news account OF the Broyhill-
Webb debate at George Mason School,
Falls Church, you stated in one para
graph: mfr. Broyhill also stated
that he does not approve Of the methods
of Senator Mccarthy
Now let us see what Mr.. Broyhin
really said, as quoted in the same story:
II am against unfair tactics and
methods that increase distrust Of con-
gressional committees. If that Is against
Mccarthy, then I am against him.
"At the same time, am in favor OF
routing Communists out Of our Govern
ment and routing them out, wherever
they may be. If that is for Mccarthy,
then I most certainly am for him -"
If that is disapproval any more than
approval, then do not understand my
mother tongue.

That the lack of teamwork between the
Juvenile Court and the District Welfare
Department has not improved since iSSu-
ance Of the critical report of the Committee
on Juvenile Crime of the Law Enforcement
Council is evident from the latest clash
between Judge CockriIl and Welfare Direc-
tor Shea. The controversy has become SO
disturbing that only intervention by some
overall mediator or other authority Is apt
to resolve it. There is much merit, there
fore, in Mr.. Shea's suggestion that high
level advisory committee, presumably ap-
pointed by the Commissioners or Congress,
tackle the problem of bringing about better
coordination of the two agencies.
AS the Committee on Juvenile Crime
declared earlier this year, such co-ordina-
ton is imperative" in the interest of the
children and families involved in cases
coming before both agencies. The commit
tee pointed out: 1.-THE Public Assistance
Division (of the Welfare Department. needs
to know the amount of assistance to which
a mother is entitled under court order
and whether she is actually receiving the
money. The personnel of the Juvenile
Court should be placed in position to
realize that leniency toward the father will
come out of the public purse. -. There are
social workers In the two agencies working
separately with members of the same fam
lily, dealing separately with the same prob
lens. This is a clear case for free inter-
change of information between the stats
of the two agencies The committee under
stands that some steps have recently been
taken toward liaiSon in this area, but the
committee sees no barrier to complete and
immediate liaison. If any barrier should
appear, the committee recommends that 1t
be removed by legislation"
The barrier that, up to now, has pre-
vented complete and immediate naiSon"
is an order issued by Judge Cockrill on May
/, 1851 restricting release of information
to the Welfare Department. That order
declared that only such information as
could be obtained from the court docket
would be available to the departments staff
and that additional data from the social
file" were strictly confidential and for use
of "this court" It was this restriction on
"free interchange" of information that
Public Assistance Director Gray was pro-
testing in his statement of last week and
which Welfare Director Shea also has pro-
tested. Judge Cockrill has denied that PAD
workers have been refused any information
really needed In their administration of
public assistance laws. This disagreement
obviously will not be settled by public
charges and countercharges between the
two agencies. Some sort of mediation is
called for. And If the secrecy law under
which Judge Cockrill is operating Is too
strict to serve the public interest, Congress
at its next session should take the advice of
the Juvenile Crime Committee and change
the law.

StrinqfeIIow's Case

Having read the full text Of Repre-
sentative Stringfellow'S forced "cOnfeS-
sion" and the statement by the chair
man of the Mccarthy Censure Commit
tee. Arthur v. Watkins, wish to raise
a point Of order"
Here is man elected by the good
people of Utah to one of the highest
offices of this great land of ours, to
represent them In all matters pertain
ing to their welfare. health, etc. Yet
this same man was in all probability
elected by deceiving the people of Utah
and trading on his false and phoney
war record.
Now that the Jig is up, he says, that,
after seeking solace In prayer, he wants
to set the record straight. Yet when the
story broke he was still ready to con-
tinue the hoax by saying he was con-
sulting with his attorneys with an eye
to suing the Army Times. Then, before
his constituents on TV. with tears
streaming down his face. he tells the
truth. not through his own choosing,
but only because he was forced to. Did
he realize at the time that on previous
TV appearance. his life story made
tears come in this writer's eyes, and
dare say millions of others?
Senator Watkins Is the one who gave
Senator Mccarthy a so-called flair
and impartial" hearing. and voted to
recommend to the Senate two counts
of censure. One of those counts was
for abusing Gen. Zwicker who re-
fused to answer questions about who
protected, promoted and discharged
known Communist, Maj. Peress.
How can Watkins vote for censure of
Senator Mccarthy but look up to a
man who through political chicanery
deceived thousands of people to further
his own personal ambitions?
II. E. Wandless.
Wanna bet that the Republicans
don't erect a monument to or present
a silver tray, with names inscribed on
it, to Stringfellow? Already they have
exonerated foot-in mouth Wilson. Or
perhaps they will give Stringfellow
one of those Cohn- Mccarthy testi-
monial dinners.

TeIevised Cabinet Meeting

It would be naive to suppose that next
weeks election was not in the Presidents
mind when he decided to bring John Foster
Dulles report to the cabinet into the living
rooms Of America. But this does not mean
that the televised cabinet meeting was
merely another political publicity stunt.
That 1t was good politics in the broad
sense is undeniable. This is true, however,
not simply because the people were watch
ing the President and his cabinet but
rather because Of the message which Mr..
Dulles had to deliver and the manner of
his delivering it.
The Secretary Of State was reporting on
events which may spell the difference be-
tween war and peace, between life and
death for millions and millions Of people,
between, perhaps, the survival and the ex
tinction OF our civilization. He was relating
a story of patient, intelligent, determined
effort by himself, supported at all times by
the President. He was telling the story of
a historic commitment by our British
friends-without which the hope Of West
ern unity might easily have faded away.
And, finally, he was describing how the in
soluble was solved-how the French and
the Germans, after long decades of distrust
and fear, were brought together In at least
preliminary agreement.
It may be said that this has all been re-
vealed before, and that is true. But this
presentation was little different. It was
done In way which conveyed an impress
sion of great accomplishment after seven
years of costly effort-seven years In which
hope and disappointment alternately held
the stage. It was setting in which Mr..
Dulles was able to appear at his best-as
the indomitable searcher for peace, as the
amazingly durable man for whom no
journey is too arduouS, no negotiation too
trying, II 1t might bring little closer the
day when men will have to live together.
Certainly, the performance by Mr.. Dulles
last evening was sufficient answer to those
who, from time to time have been demand
ing his oflcial scalp on the plea that he is
q bumbling incompetent.
In short. the decision to open this cabi-
net meeting furnished opportunity for the
Eisenhower administration to put its best
foot forward-to appear before the people
in the favorable light Of what may well be
It's outstanding achievement. It would be
too bad If this were to be, as the President
suggested, a zone time" undertaking. Elec-
ton or no election, it is device which
might well be used on appropriate occasions
to stimulate public interest in the operation
of the forces, which, for better or worse,
are setting the shape Of the future.

Another Try on Disarmament

For the first time in eight years, the
Soviet Union has joined France, Britain,
Canada and the United States in co-spon-
Soring resolution on general disarmament
and the control and prohibition Of atomic
hydrogen weapons and other instruments
of mass destruction. This is a hopeful sign,
and conceivably 1t may be the forerunner
Of real progress toward agreement. But
past experience strongly suggests that only
the most moderate and most minimum
amount Of optimism is justified.
The new resolution, which undoubtedly
will be adopted by the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly, calls upon the U. N. Disarm-
ament Commission to reactivate the Ave-
power subcommittee that sought vainly last
May and June, at "private" meetings in
London, to arrive at some basic meeting of
minds on regulating and reducing armed
forces and arms Of every kind. At the same
time, the subcommittee up of rep
resentatives Of Russia, France, Britain,
Canada and the United States attempted
without success to reach an understanding
on the prime problem, the overshadowing
problem, Of establishing genuinely effec-
tive system for outlawing the production
and use of A-weapons, the H-bomb and
comparable mass -destroyers.
After weeks of negotiations these ill
starred London talks came to a futile end
on the familiar old rocks of Soviet nay
saying, and Morehead Patterson, our chief
representative at the meetings, effectively
described the outcome when he declared
that the failure could be attributed solely
to Moscow's totally unacceptable position:
Ban the bomb, trust the Russians" But
since then, through Andrei ViShinsky, the
Kremlin -a as II condescending to under
stand why the Western powers should re-
gard such formula as something that
would require them to disarm at the risk
Of committing Suicide-has indicated to the,
U. N, it has grown bit less unreasonable.
That is to say the Kremlin has indi-
Gated willingness ID to abandon its old
demand for the immediate and uncondi-
tional prohibition of the superWeapons and
(2) to cooperate in an equitable stage-by
stage disarmament program that would
establish control and inspection machinery
effective enough to prevent the Russians
from secretly producing nuclear ornaments
or using them against the free world in a
sudden all-out attack. But Soviet words
have too often and too grossly been belied
by Soviet deeds for anybody to assume that
its co-Sponsorship of the new resolution
means that the Malenkov regime is really
ready to settle this issue in way that will
truly guarantee the security of all nations.
Possibly such readiness actually exists.
Unfortunately, however, there is not the
slightest guarantee on that score. Indeed,
on the contrary, Mr.. Vishinsky has made
special point of emphasizing, along with
the Western spokesmen, that there is still
long and rocky road to be travelled before
agreement can be reached Meanwhile, the
world can only hope for the best-namely,
that at the projected new fve-power talks
the Russians will display less negativism
and bad faith than they have persistently
displayed up 10 now on this issue.

Udrious parts of the tDorld.J
A gradual swing to the wear
ing Of Western clothes has
been seen in Japan for the
past thirty years. Western
dress has taken its place next
to the traditional kimona with
little fanfare but with a lot
Of interest being paid to it by
Japan'S women.
Since the visit to Tokyo last
year of Christian Dior their
attention has been directed to
French styles as well as Ameri-
can ones.
Yet, Tatsuka Iguchi, daugh-
ter of the Ambassador of Japan
notes, there is a revived in
terest in the wearing of the
kimona at tea ceremonies when
visitors come, and for wear
generally within the family
group at home.
In over $50 years there has
been little change in the styl-
ing of the kimona. Magnifl-
cent silk fabrics, colors and
patterns are the hallmarks of
Japanese fashions. True in
dividuality is expressed in the
selection of the kimona and
the obi. its accompanying wide
waist-circling separate tie. The
emphasis always is upon the
relationship of color and pat
tern harmony.
WaShingtonians had a chance

kimono and Obi
They had the opportunity of
seeing at first-hand how very
closely the kimona and the obi
are related. Though they diff
fer in color and pattern, their
celor scheme is worked out to
perfection as far as blending
goes.
Just slipping into a kimona
sounds easy. The dressing pro-
cedure is not that simple. Ty-
ing the obi alone may take 10
minutes, even for an expert.
There are ready-tied obis but
these do not enjoy great pop
ularity.
Storage is never a problem
since traditional Japanese
dress can be folded fiat.
But since a kimona does not
allow for much ambulation
and a changing way of life
has wrought great changes in
the lives of women, it is easy
to understand why Western
garb with its great function
alism has become more or less
the standard mode of every

schools efforts have proved
noteworthy. For the past
thirty-four years the Bunka
Fukuse Gakuin School has
been teaching the art Of dress
making to students in Tokyo
and wherever their branch
schools are located in Japan.
Ready-to-wear in Japan is at
a minimum and nearly all
Japanese women sew.
The school strives to place
the emphasis on clothes that
are Japanese in feeling but
that give the freedom neces-
sary for today's busy existence
Of women in all walks Of life.
For example, the beautiful
kimona-type sleeve will be
seen adapted for present-day
wear on a short street dress.
Incidentally, those sleeves
on a real kimona tell o
fashion story to the onlooker.
If they are long sleeves they
are called "furisode" and
state that the wearer is un-
married. When shortened
they proclaim the married
woman.
Likes Western Dress
Miss Iguchi says that she
herself wears Western dress
generally even in Japan ex-
cept on formal occasions that
call for her to wear a beauti-
full kimona and obi.
She finds that the weather
in Washington and Tokyo are
very similar. Since central
heating is not the rule in
Japan, the women there seem
to prefer nicely tailored suits.
blouses and sweaters when the
weather is a little nippy;
All fashion magazines have
a great appeal for japanese
women. Pattern books like
McCall's, Simplicity, and
Vogue have large followings.
Eosten Influence
Since the trips to Japan Of
American fashion designers
Tina Lesser and Carolyn

have been treated to the inspi-
rational charm to be found in
traditional Japanese dress

Ktmona necklines, obi
sashed waistlines. and exciting
japanese prints in brilliant
colors have thus found their
way into the present American
fashion scene.

by the Japanese with a separa-
ton between the big toe and
the rest of the toes. are a
current American sock-slipper
craze. Indoor and outdoor ver-
sions of these comfortable
