Loneliness is in part, at least, the

Mostly they are intellectual interests.

Whut Price co-existence?

Our President vetoes preventive war:
We do not defend the right by slaugh-
tering the helpless and innocent.
Most of us agree to co-existence with
communism until it becomes intoler-
able. But we have right to know un-
der what conditions we will confront
communism with an ultimatum of
civilized decency. This is particularly
in respect to atrocities perpetrated
against helpless prisoners of war. These
victims of Communist barbarism are
our sons. In good faith they went to
battle as authorized agents of the
United Nations in its first collective
action against branded criminal ag-
gressors. There is very little in prece-
dent to solace the grief and terror of
the loved ones of those who are the
most recent victims Of Red China's
contempt for the good opinion of man
kind.
The tragic case of Col. Frank H.
Schwable proves the helpless prisoners
Of Red China stand in double jeopardy.
In violation Of every code and ideal
our U. N. exemplifies, Col Schwable
was tortured and broken. Under ire
sistible duress he confessed to a ridic-
ulous absurdity. But all reprisal was
against Col. Schwable when he
faced a tribunal of military policy
makers. He was cashiered of a pro-
fessional soldiers most precious pos
session, his availability for future lead
erShip.
Does co-existence mean an endless
succession and repetition of cynical ul-
timatums to the very ideals our U. N.
solemnly has covenanted to defend
with collective reprisal? Or does CO.
existence mean collective appeasement
with reprisal only against those who
upheld the q. Ms honor?

Politics Excluded

If there has been some confusion in
the minds of Government personnel officials
as to where the line is to be drawn between
political and merit-SyStem appointments,
President Eisenhower's new career system
order should diSpel it. The language OF
the executive order leaves no doubt about
the fact that politics is to be excluded as
factor in selecting employees for civil service
jobs.
The presidential order evidently super
sedes the controversial patronage guide"
issued by White House aSSiStant-at least
insofar as partisan selection of applicants
for merit system vacancies is concerned.
The nluch-criticized patronage memoran-
dunn included certain higher-paid civil
service positions among jobs for which
clearance with the Republican National
Committee was directed The memoran-
dunn was prepared and distributed without
the knowledge of the Civil Service Com
mission.
1T is interesting to learn that specific
warning against political discrimination"
was inserted in the new executive order on
the recommendation of csc Chairman
Philip Young. The order states: mo dis
elimination shall be exercised, threatened
or promised by any persons in the executive
branch of the Federal Government against
or in favor of such employe, applicant or
eligible because of his political aff1liation."
It is the duty of the Civil Service Commits
sion to see that this command is complied
with throughout the Federal establishment.
Since it is in the form of presidential
directive, enforcement of the long-eStab-
lished merit system principle should not be
difficult.

Classroom Attire

The accelerated attack on dungarees
or leans" by school authorities is an
unfortunate thing in many ways.
The inability to dress as well as other
students is often the reason for young
people leaving school at an early age.
Less obvious results are self conscious
ness and unhappiness, failure to par
ticipate in school activities, creation Of
freakish fads. and often serious problem
behavior. The schools should welcome
standardized, inexpensive type Of
dress.
The cost Of maintaining a family at
the present time is a very real problem
even to people of comfortable" in
comes To dress the children accord
ing to standards of the fashion trade
and school authorities means appro-
priations for school clothing out of all
proportion to balanced living, and in
creaSeS immeaSurably the burdens of
families in lower income brackets.
"Jeans" are inexpensive and can be
washed at home. Boys of high school
age should be allowed such wholesome
outlets for their energies as impromptu
football games, wrestling, occasional
fence climbing and general "horsing"
around without the fear of harming
clothes that have already strained the
family budget. There are plenty of
opportunities to dress up for<school and
church activities.
The emphasis on expensive and
dressy clothes, even when it does not
create. real hardship, encourages
snobbishness and clothes consciousness
that is detrimental to proper person.
ality and character development.
The only concrete criticism of 'jeans"
that seems to be voiced is that Shirt,
tails hang out. Any assistance the
schools can give the parents in cor
recting this or other faults of groom
ing would be welcome. However, to
dictate the type of clothes children
wear is definite usurping of parental
authority by those who are among the
first to point the finger of blame at
parents for undesirable consequences.

Wronq-Woy' Williams .

Major AL Williams, retired Marine fier,
Is not the pilot who flew the Atlantic by
mistake" in a wrong way" flight. But he
managed to get pretty far off the beam in
his talk to the ro-McCarthy rally in New
York's Madison Square Garden.
His basic theme, however, was one
which is being advanced in many quarters.
Speaking for the organization known as
"Ten Million Americans Mobilizing for JUS.
tice," Major Williams said: "Our sole purpose
is to warn against the tragic precedent in
the case of Joe Mccarthy and to preserve
the vital congressional power of inyestiga-
tion as safeguard for the freedom of all
American citizens"
This comment, which is directed, of
course, to the Mccarthy censure proposal,
can be approached from two points of view.
First, 1t might be asked how the con-
gressional power Of investigation is going
to suffer from censure of Senator who
was unwilling to testify before a Senate
committee inquiring into serious charges
against him. Is the power of investigation
to be sustained by condoning senatorial
defiance of that power?
Second, is the congressional power of
investigation going to suffer as a result Of
rebuking a Senator who has abused that
power? The investigative power of Congress,
as is the case with almost everything in
this country, must have the support of
public opinion. And there is ample reason
to believe that public opinion has been
alienated by Senator McCarthy'S abuse
as distinguished from his interrogation of
General zwicker. Most people are offended
when a Senator says that a respected officer
with distinguished war record is a disgrace
to his uniform And the probabilities are
that the Senate, if it sees At to censure
Senator Mccarthy for this comment, will
actually be preserving rather than impair
Ing the congressional power Of investigation.

British View Of Mccurthy

Sir Oliver Franks, who was ambassa-
dor from the former Socialist govern
ment of Great Britain to the United
States, has as much right to criticize
Senator Mccarthy as we had to criti-
cize the Bevans, Attlees. et al. But let's
not take Sir Oliver too seriously when
he bemoans our worldwide unpopu-
larity because of Mccarthy.
As former intermediary of the So
cialist viewpoint Sir divers sources of
information are not likely to be ones
that are sympathetic to our form of
government: moreover he is British
enough to think the British could
handle our problems better-and So
cialist enough to regard McCarthy's
investigations of Government authori-
ties and agencies as a kind Of lese
