For Advancement?

new organization in Washington is the
National Association for the Advancement Of
White People, Inc. If its detectives were de-
scribed in the name, The Star, for one, would be
all Tor it. Certainly the advance of the white
people is earnestly to be desired as it is diff
cult to measure.
But the reported details of the organiza-
tional plan raise doubt as to the descriptiveness
Of the title, as well as suspicious as to the rea-
sons for its choice. The young men in charge
of the organization, busily mailing out their
solicitations for membership at 81 per member
land repeatedly collecting substantial returns)
are appealing, by a sort of derisive, tongue-in-
cheek substitution of white" for "colored," to
a variety of prejudices- lone of which may take
the form Of resentment over the National Assoc
citation for Advancement OF Colored People. If
its detectives were not to capitalize on prejudice
lin the knowledge that there is and always will
be plenty Of 1t around-it would not have chosen
its present name.

Fair Trading

A letter over the signature of Robert
E. Allen. jr., contained statements to
the effect that the District Business
Practices Council seeks to communize
our economy with fair trade bill and
that similar plans by As States is no
proof of benefits to the people"
have been practicing registered
pharmacist in the District for the past
40 years and have operated my own
pharmacy most of that time My civic
duties bring me in close contact with
many organizations. Never in my ex-
perience have read such gross mis-
statement Of facts as contained in Mr..
Aliens letter. I am led to believe that
he does not know the meaning of fair
trade, has never read fair trade act
and, to compound confusion. he erro-
neously believes that the District Com
missioners can by regulation mandate
fair trade for the District.
Fair trade is the direct antithesiS of
socialism It represents free enterprise
in the market place by permitting a
manufacturer to protect his trademark
and good name from predatory. f1nan-
cially entrenched economic price Jug

Progressive Education

After reading the recent letter to The
Star, signed by Three Local Teachers"
] shouted Bravo!
I had the experience Of teaching in
local elementary school for nearly three
years. and feel that my opinions on
certain educational functions are some
what valid. During this period of
teaching. thoroughly enjoyed working
with the children. The parents were
pleasant and were more than willing to
aid in solving any problem which might
arise in conjunction with their children.
However. the children were just not
receiving the education they were due
the education for which the public was
paying its hard-earned money. We
young teachers did as we were told, and
II we dared mention any of the "un-
integrated diSciplineS" to which Three
Local Teachers" referred, we were con-
sidered out Of line. and were, believe it
or not, reprimanded for the incident.
How can a child gain knowledge of
the Three Rs" when the teacher IS
afraid Of losing her job If 1t is dis
covered that she teaches phonetic
spelling or has arithmetic drills?
Well. I have had quite enough Of this
so-called modern education-progres-
sive nonsense, call it. The entire
system was fathered, as His Excellency
Bishop Fulton j. Sheen so aptly ex-
pressed it on a recent telecast, by
Prof. Lettum B. Bratz. My congratu-
lations to Prof. Bratz, whose phil
losophy. as indicated by his name, has
certainly taken over in our local schools.

Templeton Jones loves to walk, but
not upon slippery days.
His underpinnings are not as good
as they used to be: sometimes on the
bathroom mat or rug he tends to fall
over backward.
He takes his baths standing, now,
preferring the shower, sign of wisdom,
he thinks.
Outdoors he likes sure footing. on
turf or concrete pavement.
Whoever invented concrete. Jones
thinks, deserves the blessings of man
kind, especially pedestrian mankind.
Not all the inventions of man rebound
to his blessing.
Take the airplane, for instance.
Templeton Jones was listening to the
man on the radio.
There is always q man on the radio.
He is always telling you something
you ought to do. especially where to
spend your money. Jones has developed
a great sales resistance to the man on
the radio, but this time he listened.

Jones. II will admit their genius, but
look what they have done to U.S."
Walking, of course, is far cry from
flying.
Only a few birds walk, and these
usually are not regarded as very beauti-
full The startling, for instance.
Jones had to laugh at the recollec-
ton Of an old startling with a slice Of
bread in his beak.
He would have liked to eat it, but
since he had to drop it on the ground
before he could take peck at it, he
had to keep on going.
The reason was simple, though fifty
fold.
Fifty starlings were eying his slice
of bread.
For some 5 minutes the fellow with
the bread ran through the lines, much
as football player
He would twist first this way and
that. and then run in reverse.
Always the others pursued him.
X
Now and then he would drop his
slice. take peck at it and then grab
1t up again.
The others were always on his trail.
Surely no one has feen such fat.

glistening black starlings as the Wash
ington ones this year.
Templeton Jones admires them. and
loves to watch their antics. He says
they are one species with sense of
humor.
Walking, too, demands a sense Of
humor.
Especially on slippery days.
Templeton Jones says the person who
likes snow is crazy, or something.
Probably that is only jealousy, on
Jones part. Photographs Of young per-
sons on skis, or those intrepid explorers
on the top Of Mount Everest, leave him
cold. He would prefer it hot.
Walking benefits by spring days.
which most persons hope will be here
soon.
Actually, the cardinals think it is
spring already.
Robins, too, have shown up in small
f1ocks, but it is not until one actually
settles down in your own yard that you
know it is spring,
Then. when a robin comes to your
own garden, you can be sure winter
has gone, but not until then, no mat
ter how many robins other people claim
they have. or how often the redbirds
sing their true spring song.

The President Should Act

It may be that the President has seen
Secretary of the Army Stevens latest statement,
and that he approves and Endorses it 100 per
cent" But this, in the light OF developments,
is hardly enough.
For Senator Mccarthy neither approves
nor Endorses the statement, which undertakes
to give assurances that the administration will
protect Army officers from being browbeaten
and Inundated by the Mccarthy subcommittee.
Senator Mccarthy says this aspect of the
Stevens statement is completely false" He
denies that General Ralph Zwicker was abused,
although the transcript Of his hearing makes it
perfectly evident that he was, and the Senator
adds this: "We made it very clear that any
witness from the Army or anywhere else, If
he is not frank and truthful, will be vigorously
examined to get the truth about Communist
activities. If it will be unpleasant to tell the
truth, can't be responsible
The President ought to put his foot down
on this kind Of arrogance. For what Is de-
veloping here is something that goes beyond
such relatively unimportant questions as
whether an Army dentist had Communist
affiliations, or whether General Zwicker an
swered questions as fully and as readily as he
might have done. Senator Mccarthy is brand
ing as false statement which the President
has approved and Endorsed. Thus, the issue
and Secretary Stevens; who seems wholly in
capable, in any event, of coping with the
Wisconsin Senator. The issue has been drawn,
and rather sharply drawn, between the Senator
and the President.
Admittedly, the President is faced with a
difficult problem for Senator Mccarthy is not
his agent, but a member of Congress. The Pres
ident, however, is responsible for the main
tenance of morale in the Department Of the
Army and in the other executive establishments.
If that morale Is to be maintained something
has to be done. And this is what the President
might do: He might make public on his own
responsibility full statement of all the facts
in the case of Major Peress, the suspected
Communist dentist. Then he might announce,
as Mr.. Stevens did few days ago, that no
Army officer will be permitted to appear before
the Mccarthy committee in this investigation
unless and until Senator Mccarthy does give
assurance that no other officer will be treated
as General Zwicker was treated. And this time
the notification should be made to stick.
This would be drastic step, but in the long
run it could be productive of very wholesome
results. I

A Decision Boldly Taken

The American Government is taking gen.
uine but calculated gamble in its decision to
extend military aid to Pakistan. The gamble,
in short, is that the greater strength which
Should accrue to the free world through the
arming of Pakistan will more than offset the
critical reaction and perhaps loss of good will
which seem likely to result at least initially, in
India and other neutralist areas OF South Asia.
The decision, however, has been months in the
making and represents a careful evaluation by
the agencies and departments concerned and
finally by the National Security Council. There
are good reasons to believe that it is sound
judgment
In making public the decision, President
Eisenhower went to unusual lengths to placate
Prime Minister Nehru and Indian public opin-
ion. In his personal letter delivered we'll in
advance OF the announcement here, the Presi-
dent assured the Indian leader: % That the
action is not in any way directed against India,
GU that any misuse in aggressive ways of Amer
lean military aid would bring our prompt action
through the United Nations and perhaps unilat-
orally to thwart such endeavor, 60 that con-
tinued American economic and technical aid for
India is being recommended and "a that any
Indian interest in American military aid would
receive sympathetic consideration.
Certainly, as forcefully and plainly as words
can do SO, the President has assured the In
dian government that our determination to
strengthen Pakistan is not intended as threat
against India and that we shall make every
effort to see that 1t is not diverted to any such
unintended purpose. In extending these assur-
ances, however, General Esenhower-also in
his letter to Mr.. Nehru-has pointed out very
frankly that 1t is the right and duty of sovereign
nations to make their own decisions on how to
achieve a common goal. In this case, in other
words, the United States and Pakistan are seek
ing peace through the maintenance of strong
military defenses; India is seeking it through
neutraliSm and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT with either
the Communist or anti Communist bloc
It was explained further by the President,
both in his letter to Mr.. Nehru and his statement
from the White House, that the granting of
military aid to Pakistan is part of relatively
new strategic concept for ensuring the security
of the Middle East-rather than for creating
new and needless tensions in South Asia. The
Turkish-Pakistani alliance now developing Is
the keystone of this concept Each of these
countries has the will and manpower to become
a point of strong resistance to any threat of
Russian aggression. American arms, and such
other help as ordinarily Is provided under our
mutual security agreements, could make this
potential strength reality. It has been made
clear that other nations-perhaps Iran, Iraq or
India itself-would be welcomed in such an alli-
ance for peace.

Southwest Redevelopment

OF the several plans offered for re-
development Of Washingtons South
west section. it is interesting to note
that none Is so simple as to be expedi-
ent and just to those who would build
and thereby reduce the unemployment
rolls.
The scheme Of William zeckendorf is
no different in this respect and The
Star is to be commended for sighting
the difficulties of a partnership be-
tween Government and private enter
prise. Any plan calling for an invest
ment of the taxpayers money for the
benefit of private or national interests
is just plain socialism.
But I wish to make no wanton
charges. Indeed, submit my case Of
"oversimplification" and defend it with
the tax concessions my native South
land made to Northern textile indus
tries and also with the case of a par
ticular tax concession running 10 years
and made to an individual firm (Hil-
ton HotelS) by the government Of
Puerto Rico. Further, let me gear"
it to Mr.. Zeckendorfs own plan, the
nucleus for the two.
Instead Of the National Government
contributing" let us invest-and earn
return in interest for the taxpayers.
After all, their money is as good as that
Of private business. Judging by the
number of those seeking "contribu-
tions."
Let the Federal or District govern
ment build the nucleus of Mr.. Zecken-
DORIS plan. but let us not give it away.
Instead, let the governments build a
new South Mall and LEnfant Plaza
and then collect the full increase in
land values in payment for said i'm
provements and explain to the land
