President Eisenhower has is
sued an executive order which
seeks to do by executive fiat
what Congress has specifically
refused to do by law. Govern
ment contracts each year-it's
$50 billion worth this year
will be awarded not to the low
est bidders but only to those
contractors and subcontractors
who have agreed in advance to
accept the White House regu-
lations on employment prac-
tices as they relate to discrimi-
nation for race, religion, color
or national origin.
Although the Constitution
does not give any power to a
President to make laws by
himself, the opportunity to cir
cumvent the Constitution by
subterfuge does exist and both
Presidents Roosevelt and Tru-
man set forth the doctrine
now being followed by Gen.
Eisenhower-that the end JUS
titles the means.
There is, of course, nothing
more reprehensible than dis
elimination in employment
against any one on account Of
race or creed or color. There
are, moreover, lots Of Hitlerian
Determinations prevalent to-
day in many cities in connec-
ton with the admission or re-
lection of persons otherwise
eligible for membership in So
cial clubs and organizations,
but love for ones fellow man
will never be instilled by coer-
cion any more than fairness in
dealing with the economic OPP
portunities of all citizens in
America will ever be accom-
plished by executive order in
defiance of the lawmaking
power of Congress.
The White House boasts about
what 1t has done-obviously
for political campaign pur-
poses in certain districts in
the North-by the following
paragraph in its statement
explaining the order:
I'm addition to putting the
full weight of the President
behind the action of the con-

otherwise to contribute to the

policy detectives"
It has been two and a half
months since the President
signed the bill into law.
But up to now he has not
issued the necessary executive
order setting up procedure for
operating under the broadened
law. Why? Because five de-
partments and agencies still
are pickering among them
selves as to authority in adj
ministering the surplus dis
tribution program and have
not come up with a plan as
the basis for an executive
order.
These are the State Depart

policy: the Foreign Operations

Harold StaSSen, which bases
its claim on operations in aid

There was q time In our
history when we broke diplo-
matte relations for lesser rea-
sons than incidents such as
the attack on q Navy patrol
plane by trigger-happy Soviet
aviators in the Sea Of Japan.
But times have changed
since we became enneshed in
world diplomacy.
This is not the time to break
relations with the Soviets, the
State Department is said to
have advised President Eisen-
hover when he received Sem
ator Knowland's telegram
urging such q step.
It was pointed out that our
fiuctuating allies are engaged
In lirtations Of varied inten-
sity with the U. s. s. r. In the
face Of such q situation 1t was
felt that it would be Haunting

to call home our ambassador
to Moscow and give walking
papers to the Soviet ambas-
sador in Washington.
At the turn of the century
we severed all diplomatic rela-
tions with the Kingdom Of
Serbia when King Alexander
Obrenovitch and Queen Draga
were murdered by q palace
guard instigated by the pre-
tender to the throne.
In 1918 we broke diplomatic
relations with the same Soviet
government which is now in
power in Mosct.w because its
agents murdered the de-
throned Gear Nicholas of Rus

sidered the murder CT the Gar

which made the Moscow gov

European governments, after
shrieking with horror at the
actions Of the Bolshevist lead
ers, eventually recognized the
Red regime, we stood our
ground for Is years.

We also steadfastly refused
to trade with Russia because
Washington, backed by the
American people. wanted no
truck with q government which
used slave labor-then as
now-in producing export
goods.
But now the protection Of
American citizens subjected to
outrages has taken q back seat
to global matters. 1t win be re-
called that Yugoslav flyers shot

lean planes In 1916. killing
seven Americans in uniform.
They had inadvertently VII
olated the YugoSlav air ter
ritoriality. We protested and
demanded compensation. Yet
within q month after that in
cident we extended full diplo-
matte recognition to that
Communist country.
It will be said that our recog-
milton paid dividends since
Yugoslavia is now q member
of the Balkan alliance linked
with NATO.. And as such she
is receiving economic and mill
tary assistance from us. Her
Balkan tieup is, however, due
principally to the blunder Of
Moscow which read Tito out
Of the Comintern. For rea-
sons of self-preservation he
had to turn to us. Had he not
done so he would have been
engulfed by the Muscovite
waves long ago.
Communist aviators have
shot down with impunity a
number of planes in the Baltic
Sea and in other places. They
always shouted that our flyers
had violated air territoriality.
And no more drastic measures
followed than to call the Com
munists bad boys.

call the times In which we live
peaceful-we have swallowed

principal forms Of surplus food
distribution.
One is the sale of our food
SURPRISES to other governments
for local currencies. The local
currencies then are used to
finance various United States
Government enterprises in
other countries. An example
was the construction of United
States bases and other facili-
ties in Spain from proceeds of
sale of 100000 bushels of sur
plus wheat to Spain. There is
a limit Of $790 million in total
amount by this method of sur
plus sales.
A SECOND means of surplus
disposal is by direct United
States Government action to
provide relief In disasters such
as floods, famines, earthquakes
and such, as has been done In
India and Pakistan. The limit
here Is $500 million total.
A third method. for which
no limit Is fixed, is through
private agencies, Our Govern
ment pays the freight cost to
the port of export in the
United States, the recipient
country pays the costs from
the United States to its port of
entry, and distribution is by
private agencies. including

Great states are as often de-

million of food SURPRISES could
be distributed by this method.
Our Government now has an
investment Of $61a billion in
price support commodities, of
which $2.7 billion is actually
owned and $50 billion under
loans. All Of that cannot be
considered surplus, since some
under loan viii be redeemed;
but the surplus is tremendous

Falls Church Groups
Approve ST. Million
School Expansion

Represen tatives OF Falls
Church professional. civic and
educational organizations gave
the city. school board a vote of
confidence last night on it's pro-
posed $1.1 million expansion pro-
gram.
The vote to support the board
came after a three-hour meeting
at the George Mason Junior
Senior High School during which
board members outlined the pro-
gram to the 40 citizens in at
tendance.
Board members explained that
81 million of the construction
funds must come from a bond
issue which already has been
proposed to the city council.
Board Chairman John A.
johnson made it clear that the
city's school expansion will not
be ended with completion Of the
proposed plan.
I'm the next five years the
high school must be doubled in
size to take care of about 1000
students" he said. The present
enrolment at the high school is
628, he added.
Mr.. johnson said the Sill
million construction program
part of which would be financed
with Federal funds, would meet
forseeable elementary school
needs.
The chairman indicated the
board probably would ask for
another bond issue in two years
to complete expansion OF the
high school.

matte relations with the mod
ern pirates.
These incidents which caused
not only the death Of Amer
lean servicemen but also seri.
ously reduced our international
prestige occurred at q time
when there was some vague
reason to think that the shalxy
Western alliances might sur
vive.
In recent months, however.
It has become obvious that our
Western European allies are
arixiously looking to q new for-'
eign policy based on co-exist-
ence with the u. s. s. r., China
and their present and future
satellites.
The refusal Of the British
and French governments to
accept Secretary Dulles pro-
posal last April to present q
firm front in Indo-C China; the
surrender of the French at
Geneva with British acquies-
cence; and the rejection Of the
European defense pact by the
French National Assembly are
all weather warnings Of which
we should take heed. These
appeasement actions are
prompted not only by fear Of
Russia'S air and military might
but also by their conviction
that America has no longer o
firm policy.
The claims Of our State De-
partment officials that break
ing relations with the Reds
would deprive us Of valuable
listening posts behind the
Iron Curtain cannot be seri-
ously sustained. Our diplomats
in Moscow and satellite coun-
tries are virtual prisoners. The
only persons allowed to have
contact with our diplomatic
missions are those designated
by the Red secret police.
Our embassies in countries
behind the Iron Curtain are
not listening posts. The con-.
trary is true Of the Red en-
bassies In Washington and
their consuhtes in main
American cities. They are all
important espionage centers. +.
