lles beyond eight hours. It should be
pointed out here that American Air
lines had d contract with the Air Line
Pilots Association which clearly permits
the operation Of the nonstop services.
It Is our position that the strike Is Ia
violation of that contract.
It is a matter Of record with the Ma
tional Mediation Board that American
Airlines made written offer Of arbi-
tration. It said 1t would be willing to
arbitrate its legal right under the terms
Of the contract with Air Line Pilots
Association to operate transcontlnenta
nontSop flights It did not offer to
arbitrate safety. for safety had already
been passed upon by the Civil Aero
nautics Board. It did not offer to arbi-
trate economic demands for the union
says that 1t has made no economic
demands.
4. Mr.. Modes says the striking pilots
have nothing whatsoever to gain in
the form Of more money or extra jobs
Answer: What in the world are they
striking for? The Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration has certified the operation
to be safe: the Civil Aeronautics Board
has stated that the operation is legal
one; Federal court has upheld the
authority Of the board In this respect.
The coast-to-coast nonstop operation
Of American Airlines operated safely
and well for many months: it was a
superior service. popular with the
traveller. In fact. it was at peak of
public acceptance when the pilots
union struck 1t down.
5. Mr.. Modes says the issue involves
more than "a few minutes flying over
eight hours"
Answer: The position Of the pilots
association is that pilot cannot be
scheduled for one minute more than
hours. In their view the nonstop
flight should not be operated even If
the schedule were 8 hours and / min
ute. For your information, the nom
stop schedule westbound, New York
to Los Angeles is 8 hours. and 35 min
utes. The flight is made in a modern,
pressurized aircraft with a crew of
three. And this crew is scheduled to
fly IS minutes more than hours only
5 times month.
The eastbound schedule of the nom
stop, Los Angeles to New York is Z
hours and IS minutes. Thus the crew
is scheduled to fly Is minutes less
than 8 hours times per month. The
nonstop schedule westbound, Washing
ton to Los Angeles is 8 hours and 10
minutes. The eastbound Los Angeles

School Sturts Too Soon

Montgomery County teachers were
asked to sign their contracts before the
salary scale was determined. tWhat
other professional group is subjected to
such an indignityD Then came the
usual wrangling. followed by the in
adequate pay raise which is again
especially unfair to the experienced
teachers. in the county.
Now for another ingenious method
to further weaken the teachers morale.
Each teacher Is compelled to return to
school before the labor Day week end.
Since most teachers must work all
summer to make ends meet, the long
awaited Labor Day week end vacation
must now be sacrificed. Why not have
registration and afternoon meetings on
the Tuesday after Labor Day? It is
most unlikely that many children viii
be present for registration before Labor
Day. No wonder there is q teacher
shortage in Montgomery County!

This and That
BY Charles E. Trocewen

Yet she could not sleep.
She was too active, that was all.
Even as young as she was, and as
basically sound. she could not "go it"
ct the popular and fashionable pace.
It Is the older person, however, who
mostly needs the good advice to slow
down.
Part of Americas restlessness is based
on good food, plenty OF protein, vita
minis and minerals.
The urge to success plays It's part,
but it goes back farther; in many cases,
people keep on the move and "go" all
the time because they are, uncon-
sciously. responding to an ancient urge
to keep busy.
This came about among poor people.
who out Of necessity looked upon slow
ing down and sheer resting as "lazi-
ness
The word 'lazineSs has done more
harm In the world. we believe, than
almost any word we can think Of, with
the exception Of devil"
Both ought to be abolished.
The concept Of evil Is bad enough
without embodying 1t in human form.
y All that would be necessary, II we
wanted devil. would be to magnify
almost any insect to human propor-
tons.

Loborite Junket

After having been lavishly vodkaed and
dined in Moscow, former Prime Minister
Clement Attlee and his little band Of
peregrinating British Laborites- including
Aneurin Bevan, his extremely leftist rival
are now getting the same sort of treatment
In Peiping. Their trip, in many respects,
seems to be one Of the most naive ever
made by grown-up Westerners, but Amer
leans should take calm view Of it.
It is true, of course, that distinguished
Britons like Hector McNeil-former Labor
lite Minister of State-have denounced this
junket as "highly irresponsible and ILL
timed" 1T is true, too, that the thing tends
to inject new irritant into Anglo American
relations because it plays into the hands
OF the Communist propagandists and gives
them yet another opportunity to do their
stuff in effort to sow discord between our
own country and the United Kingdom.
Further, the travelling Laborites appear
to be afflicted with what one might call a
case of guilelessness. For they have gone on
journey Of many thousands Of miles, In
a sort Of wistfully wishful spirit, because Of
a hope that they may find some convincing
evidence that the rulers of the Soviet Union
and Red China are really anxious to CO.
operate and co-exist peacefully with the
free world. Needless to say, they could have
stayed at home and followed the customary
flow Of news dispatches to realize that such
evidence is as scarce now as it has ever
been, that Stalins death seems to have
changed nothing, and that occasional sweet
and reasonable Communist words - like
those being addressed now to Mr.. Attlee
and his friends-continue to be belied by
Communist deeds.
Still, despite all this, 1t is hard to see
why there should be serious worry over the
Laborite trip. Although the unpredictable
but non-Red Mr.. Bevan tends to dislike US,
Mr.. Attlee is an old anti Communist ally,
and he has made special point Of letting
the men of the Kremlin know that the West
is allergic to their brand Of freedom" His
views in that respect are not likely to be
changed by the Moscow-Peiping visit, and
the same probably holds true for his travel
ing companions. Anglo-American relations
should be able to continue thriving regard
less Of this sort Of tourism.

Lisbon-New Delhi Deadlock

Despite advance publicity suggesting
that 1t would be an impressive and fery
demonstration Of nationalist sentiment in
favor OF doing away with Portugals pos
sessionSsin India, the So-called sliberation"
march against Goa has turned out to be
fizzle involving little more than q few
small groups Of teen-agers AS a result.
although the Portuguese Navy is reported to
have engaged In a shelling incident at one
point, the dispute between New Delhi and
Lisbon still seems to be one that can be
settled without violence or bloodshed.
The New Delhi government deserves
share OF the credit for this. For Prime
Minister Nehru, In his beforehand approval
OF the march, stipulated that only Goans
would be allowed to take part in it and that
u would have to be completely non-violent
Further, IN keeping with his orders Indian
police saw to it that no armed trouble
makers got into the act to stir up incidents
that could have caused injury and death
or forced the Portuguese authorities to
start shooting in self defense against a
mob on the rampage.
Fortunate as all this is, however. New
Delhi and Lisbon continue to be far from
ending the controversy between them, and
as long as they thus remain deadlocked, the
danger Of serious strife will have to be
reckoned with. At issue are the territories
OF Goa, Damao and Diu on India's west
coast. Consisting of some 1900 square
miles, and with population of around
$4,000, they have been Portuguese posses
Sions FOR more than 400 years. But Mr..
Nehru, taking the position that independ-
ent India cannot tolerate the continued
existence of any foreign enclaves on its
soil, has insisted upon negotiations aimed
at making them an integral part of his
country Portugal, on the other hand, has
firmly rejected this demand, even though
the French are engaged in such negotia-
tions for withdrawal from their small hold
tngS on India's east coast.
AS set forth in Prime Minister Salazars
speech last April, the Lisbon governments
view Is this: Although the three little ter
ritor1eS are more Of an economic liability
than an asset to the mother country, Por-
tugal has juridical right and moral duty
to hold on to them because they represent
an area with which are associated some
OF the greatest names that the Portuguese
nation was able to give world history" and
because they are predominantly Portuguese
IN terms OF race, religion and culture.
Accordingly. Lisbon is willing to nego-
tiate only as regards ~ some admitted
administrative difficulties and (2) measures
to remove any security apprehensions that
India may feel because Of the Portuguese
enclaves. This appears to be completely
unsatisfactory to Mr.. Nehru, but he has
accepted Portugaps proposal for an I'M
partial six-nation study OF the situation,
and perhaps an acceptable settlement may
flow from that. In any event, because of
the potential explosiveness of the issue,
both sides should feel. impelled to exercise
continued restraint.

Police Aides

The police recruiting plan proposed by
Police Chief Murray is worth trial here.
In view of its success in Milwaukee and
elsewhere. It's chief virtue is that It will
endeavor to appeal to prospective recruits
before, rather than after, they have become
interested in other professions or trades
Experience has shown that it is difficult for
police recruiting officers to lure young men
from jobs in industry once they have gone
on private payroll
The armed services and many major
industrial concerns extend their recruit
ment activities to the schools and colleges
seeking to interest young men in entering
the military branches or private industry,
as the case may be. Recruits are offered
special courses Of training with pay. The
same principle underlies the police aides"
plan. High school graduates would be en-
couraged to compete for appointments as
police aides" a new designation for 18-
year-old civilian employees of the Police
Department The -while-you-lea pro-
gram would provide three years Of practical
training in police work for the aides. When
they become 81 they will become eligible
Tor appointment as regular uniformed ofl-
cerS-provided their services as civilian
traineeS have been satisfactory.
In view Of past difficulties in enliSting
sufficient officers to bring the department
to full strength, Chief Murray is justified
In recommending test of the Milwaukee
plan. If successful here, promising new

have been opened up.

Letters to The Star.

haps reduce the courts practice of
concurrent sentences, wherein the
criminal in effect buys three or more
crimes for the price of one.
But the courts are only one factor
In our war against crime. The next
most important factor is the lawyer.
! have yet to see you discuss this most
important segment Of our society and
the unique position it occupies therein.
The most efficient police in the world
can do no more than apprehend the
criminal. From then on, the matter
is in the hands Of the lawyers. Lawyers
make our laws, administer and enforce
them. Lawyers also aid. abet and
protect those who break the laws.
They are on both sides. While crime
may not pay the criminal. 1t most
certainly pays his lawyer.

CHARM
By Lon LuTour

NEW YORK-When buying
accessories and undergarmentS,
one good rule applies: Never
buy the cheapest in the false
belief that you are economizing.
Rather than have half a dozen
cheap slips, it is better to have
only three good ones, and wash
them oftener. A cheap under
garment can bunch up or ride
up and spoil the effect of your
prettiest dress. The same is
true of accessories. A well dress
&c woman needs only three
handbags, for instance. one
tailored, and two more dressy
ones. A woman does not need
a closet full of shoes, but she
should have three good pair.
And SO it goes the better qua
lily the accessory, the better
it will fit into a variety of
costume. But don't stint on
quality. If you must conserve,
do 1t in quantity.
