Mr.. Rees suggested that the
Navy follow the lead of the Army
and Air Force Departments in
naming an Assistant Secretary
or Deputy Assistant Secretary to
handle manpower problems. At
the present time Navy has only
a Special Assistant for Manpower
who is under the jurisdiction of
the Assistant Secretary for Air,
Mr.. Rees noted.
This position appears to be
90 subordinated that the incum-
bent perhaps finds it difficult to
accomplish very much" Mr.. Rees
said. 1.-THE Navy Department
should seriously consider eleva-
cling such an important position
dealing with manpower utiliza-
ton to q full-time assistant
secretary level. to make certain
that the responsibilities can be
carried out effectively" he added.
Air Force Commended.
The Air Force was singled out
by Mr.. Rees for commentator
for survey undertaken on its
own initiative which resulted in
the elimination of 1853 supervi-
sorry positions at Keesler Air
Force Base.
I'm marked contrast" Rees
added, twas the attitude of one
naval shipyard where positions
apparently were not effectively
re-evaluated. It was asserted
that both a civilian personnel
officer and a naval industrial
relations officer, who is the mill
tary counterpart, are needed SO
that the latter can get out ano
circulate around the BASE"
He said the explanation was
given that it was necessary for
the military officer to under
stand and respond to the needs
and work requirements of the
line officials"
But" Mr.. Rees added, "this
man may have difficulty in
learning about civilian personnel
which is supposed to be his
job-if he spends his time visit
ing around the base with his
fellow-offlcers."

Two Cleared, Third Held
In Traffic Deaths Here

A coroner's jury yesterday
cleared two drivers but held a
third in inquests covering two
pedestrian traffic deaths last
week.
The jury ruled the death of
Howad w. Dickson, "a. Of POPS ]
street NV, accidental. Mr..
Dickson died of injuries suffered
in an accident at Twenty-f1rSt
street and Pennsylvania avenue
NV. last Friday.
The driver of the car involved
was Jessie w. Mauck, IS. of the
900 block of Park road NV. The
verdict of the coroner's jury
cleared him. Mr.. Mauck's taxi
was travelling west on Penn
sylvania at the time of the acct
dent.
In the other inquest, the jury
held Marian Groom, 80, colored
of the $500 block of C street S.W.,
for Municipal Court on a negli-
gent charge in connection with
the death of Delma Williams, 46,
colored, of 1926 Clay street NE.
The woman was struck and
fatally injured by Croom's car,
after it collodided with another
car driven by Thomas A. Bowie
33. colored, of the 1900 block OF
A. street Sc, at Forty-seventh
and Clay streets NE, last
Thursday.
The jury cleared Bowie of re-
SponSibility.

West Berlin Serves
As Beachhead for
Democratic Ideals
By Thomas R. Henry
Sfor Stuff Correspondent

BERLIN (by MALL. - Omaha
and Utah-the beaches Of Nor
mandy-were the edge of the
unknown before the allied inva-
sion. Everything beyond was
mystery.
Now the briefiing officer of DR..
James B. Conant'S civilian au-
thority assures us, there is an
other beachhead-West Berlin.
Here, as nowhere else on earth,
the frankneSs of the West faces
the secrecy of the East behind
the Iron Curtain-and the diff
ference is not so great as might
be supposed between the England
of 1913 and continental Europe
of the same year.
Here there is just a street. It
is not as wide as the English
Channel. but perhaps wider in
the theology of peoples. For
France never was 40 per cent
Nazi, as East Berlin is 40 per
cent Communist"
Berlin a Third Germany"
DR.. Conant's brieflng officer
calls Berlin "the third Germany"
There is West Germany, East
Germany and Berlin. This $40
square miles is virtual no.
man's-land. It is not part of
the Bonn government. It is not
part of the East German gov
eminent. 1t has no part in the
politics of either.
Nobody knows very much
about East Berlin. West Berlin,
about a third of the old city'S
$40 square miles, is controlled
jointly by military forces of the
United States, the United King
dom and France with an Ameri-
can major general acting as vir-
tual governor and mayor of a
large area in the southwest sec
ton of the city.
From almost any point of view
the United States can take pride
in it's military government under
some of the most exaSperating
circumstances. It has fully COM
pretended its responsibilities
create a self supporting COM
munity out of a city whose major
industry-like that of Washing
ton-has been a federal govern
ment.
It has brought back industry to
approximately 80 per cent of its
level in 1886. 1t has brought the
army of unemployed down from
100000 a few years ago to about
100000 at present. 1t has brought
the export value of its products
from essentially zero to 212 bill
lion marks a year from almost
nothing. Most Of these exports
are oStensibly to the separate
country of West Germany, but
actually they go all over the
world.
JObless Big Problem.
A major problem has been the
unemployed, whose ranks con-
stantly are being swelled by the
influx across the border from
East Berlin where wages and liv-
ing conditions are considerably
lower. This has not been an easy
problem and not everybody who
in some way avoids the Russian
military and the subservient East
Berlin police is accepted AS a
fully accredited West Berliner.
American, British and French
recognize that they are holding
the beachhead of democracy just
as much as the LIST, goth and 4th
Divisions held it on Omaha and
Utah beaches 10 years ago. They
are encountering many en-
couraging signs, making all due
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-23

allowances for deception by un-
desirable persons.
Many East Berlin police are
deserving. This is especially en-
couraging with regard to the So
called "peope's police" who are
coming over at the rate of about
$50 a month. They are essen
TALLY part of the Soviet army
rather than regular civilian po-
hcemen.
Another encouraging sign is
the number of students coming
over to study in West Berlin's
schools Of higher learning.
These are, of course, just
strawS in the wind. But they
indicate, at least that democracy
is not losing ground on this stra-
tegic borderline.

The emphasis for toys in good
usable condition is being made this
year as facilities for repairs are
limited.
Local participants announced all
broken toys possible will be re-
paired, but new toys are particu-
larIy desired insOrder to meet maxi
mum distribution needs.
Capt. Walteg. L. Hill, Inspector
Instructor, 9th Engineer Company,
has suggested that many hundreds
of toys could @be turned in ready
for distribution by full utilization
of home workshops in the Phoenix
area. 1t is hoped that friends and
|neighbOrS in various areas will
team up and pool their equipment,
tools and abilities to assure a bar
rel of good usable toys from every
block. This would be in keeping
with the community spirit that has
been displayed on previous drives
in Phoenix.
The KachiI1a Women's Club of
Phoenix has been working through
out the year dressing more than
1000 dolls for "Toys for Tots.
They will also make actual distri-
button of toys in the Community
Toy Shop.
Space for the Toy Shop has been
contributed by, the Arizona Ma
tional Guard Toys will be provided
to needy parents at this shop on
Dec, 13, IA, and Is. Foster-parents
of children placed by various COM
munity agencies will also receive
toys. By giving the toys to the par
ents, rather than directly to the
children, the magic of Christmas
is preserved.
Helping with the distribution of
toys will be such experienced agen-
cics as the Family Service, CathO-
lie Social Service, County Public
Welfare Department, Golden Gate
Settlement, and the Phoenix Day
Nurseries.

This campaign is community pro.
ject in which many Phoenix civic
business and church groups are
participating. -.
Part of a nationwide "TOys fOl
Tots" drive started by Marine Re-
servists in the Los Angeles area in
1913, this enterprise is now being
conducted in this community for
the third var.
The Community Council, under
the direction of Mrs. Mildred Gill
leSpie, Executive Secrtary, has for
several years co-ordinated a cam
paign for providing toys for the
underprivileged children. This
agency is an integral part of the
current Toys for Tots" campaign.
Collection centers have been es-
tablished at all city and rural fire
stations and public schools Various
business establishments, churches
and theaters are now joining the
drive as collection points.
Toy barrels donated by Valley
Feed and Seed Company, HI & r
Transfer Company Lightning

Fairfax Bakery and Chambers
Transfer and Storage Company
have been distributed all over the
city.
"Toys for Tots" posters, contrib
uted by High School students and
department stores have been dis
tributed city wide.
The repair of broken toys by Mr.
A. r. Loughborough; 43 Cactilone
Parkway, will be continued as a
Community Toy Shop Project. Mr..
Loughborough, who for seven years
has devoted six to eight hours daily
plus his own money for parts and

chief "fixer-upper" and mainstay
of this program.

To fill the need in the Valley

Captain Clark Hale, co-ordinat-
ing the drive, said that those per-

would create a transportation
problem can have them picked up
by calling the 9th Engineer Com

First Shot Is Fired in Illinois
State Launches Campaign for Control Of Congress
And Perhaps Opening of Presidential Contest

Loss Of Congress could well
nigh blast Republican hopes
for remaining in power after
1856 and, by the same token.
the continuance of Gen. Ell
senhower in the White House.
Almost invariably the loss of
Congress by the party in power
in the by-election preceding q
presidential election means
the loss of the White House in
the latter election two years
afterward, though Harry S.
Truman upset the precedentS
by winning in 1948 after the
Republicans had captured
control Of Congress two years
before-the famous 80th Con-
gress. .
That was, however, the rare
exception and the situation
was unusual" as any still
red-faced political prophet
can prove to you in q half
hour lecture. Democrats are
pressing their campaign-and
so Is Adlai StevenSon-on the
assumption that the precedent
would stick if they could re-
gain control of Congress this
November and, in that event,
would take back the White
House in 1856.
1t was in keeping with the
national Importance of the
events staged for the two party
leaders In Illinois that each
delivered himself of a speech
addressed to national issues
and to the Nation after the
usual courtesy nod toward the
two senatorial candidates Of
their respective parties.
Adlai Stevenson has a per-
sonal stake in Illinois, which
happens to be his own State.
Because it is, 1t would be most
helpful to his own 1856 candi-
