Complete Reorganization Needed

Although clear sailing had been expected
for the bill to reorganize the Capitol police
force the important measure already has en-
countered some committee snags. This Is
unfortunate, for there should be no unnecessary
delay in providing Congress with more ade-
ouate protective system than 1t has had in the
past.
The serious shooting ARRAY in the House
last March exposed the weaknesses OF the
present system, under which members Of the
guard force owe their appointment more to
political considerations than to qualifications
for their assignment. AS an aftermath of the
Puerto Rican nationalist attack congressional
leaders quickly agreed to push through legisla-
ton for an enlarged police force, composed only
of members experienced in police duties or
specially trained for such work. But opposition
to the plan has developed in the House Admin
istration Committee, as result of which action
has been postponed until next week.
The nature of the objections has not been
disclosed, but there was a report that an
amendment is being proposed that would permit
the "blanketing in" of present Capitol policemen
under certain conditions. There should be no
blanketing in of present members however,
unless the candidates for reappointment can
demonstrate beyond question that they are
fully qualified to perform their vital guard
duties. Any reorganization of the Capitol force
not based on merit, rather than patronage,
would be mistake.

Stevenson's Columbia Speech

Adlai StevenSons address at Q Co
lumbia University bicentennial confer
ence is another timely warning Of our
waning faith and convictions in the
struggle between the "humanistic tradi.
ton of Western culture" and the new
pagan religions" Of totalitarianism. His
philosophical as well as realistic exc
pressions, touching upon our vulnera-
bility that results in an inevitable moral
and human vacuum, are not merely
based on disgraceful and INSCRIPTIONS
detectives of men aspiring undeServing
positions in our present society, but
they are indisputably wise words stem
ming from faultless judge Of mankind
the world history.
Mr.. StevenSon'S -Skillful presentation
Of the horrors Of our time that besiege
us and render us incapable Of resisting
the forces of evil which sow distrust
and malice should be hailed with en-
thusiasm and, exemplifying patriotic
vigor. we should uproot the weeds Of
diSunity menacing the high ideals Of
freedom. The present political turmoil,
extending from one end Of our planet
to the other, requires an unprecedented
solid front Of unity and trust among
the guardians Of human liberty. The
elimination of villain opportunists is
every honest citizens imperative task.
Mr. Stevenson's speech-though not
widely publicized-is undeniably
masterpiece of intellectualiSm, the main
characteristic of his brilliant stature.

81 or even Older are not Intellectually
mature, while others of younger years
may have reached their full mental
development. A notable example is Roy
Cohn, chief counsel for the Mccarthy
committee, who received his law degree
at 10 and had to wait two years to
take the bar examination. However, the
State legislatures, in their wisdom
with one exception), have decided that
81 is the minimum age when the av-
erage individual acquires the intellec-
tual capacity to intelligently evaluate
political issues so that his vote will
contribute to the election Of Presi-
dent and Congress who will creditably
serve the best interests Of the Nation.
The fact that Georgia "a One-party
STATED reduced the voting age to IL
years does not justify an attempt by
the Federal Government to compel the
other States to do likewise.
The Star also says 'there is consid-
cradle logic in the argument that II
these younger people are duty-bound
Gas they are) to fight for their country,
they should have the corollary privilege
of being allowed to vote in presidential
and congressional elections" Here I
must disagree, as it seems to me that
it is entirely illogical to regard fight
ing ability as the criterion Of an intel
lectually qualified voter. If so, why stop
at 10 years?

to resign rather than become q party to any
more such projects In the Mall area. He had
seen how. despite repeated promises to remove
the temporary structures once the emergency
was passed, they persisted in clinging to their
park sites for years and years. Nearly all Of
the Second World War tempos are still exer-
cising squatters' rights and some of the First
World War buildings also are doing business
as Of old.
Under the pressures of war emergencies 1t
Is difacult, indeed experience has shown 1t is
impossible, to forestall such park defacing prof.
ects as those which are sprawled over West
Potomac Park and the Mall. But, once the wars
are over, there is crying need for such out
spoken and constant criticism Of tempo lopgev-
ity as Mr.. Reynolds and . few other ofncials
have voiced. One temporary structure has just
been torn down, largely because OF demands
from veterans organizations A concerted drive
by forces inside and outside the Federal estab
nshment against the remaining tempos ought
to produce good results.

The Stutes Con Hundle 1t

The Star editorial of May Is, "The
States Can Handle It." on the defeat
of the Presidents proposal to give the
vote to 18-year- olds, rightly observes
that "our Federal Constitution clearly
leaves it to the individual States to de-
termine their citizens voting qualifl-
cations" It was for this reason that
the solid bloc Of "a Democratic Sena-
tors voted against the proposed consti-
tutional amendment. It is regrettable
that their party was not equally solicit
tous Of States rights when the numer-
Gus socialistic proposals Of Democratic
Presidents during the past 20 years
were railroaded through q Suppliant
Congress. However. it is to be hoped
that this vote indicates q trend and
that In the future others will follow
the example of these "a Senators and
decide to preserve what remains OF the
original rights of the States under the
Constitution, whether the White House
is occupied by Republican or Demo-
crat. The present Supreme Court would
not have hesitated to write the PreSi-
dents pet project into law.
The Star says there is no reason to
regard as sacred or immutable our at
tachment to the ancient Anglo-Saxon
concept that one does not reach ma
turity for political or other purposes
until he or she is 81" Agreed; many at

'Cross-Eyed Lion q Mascot

Henry, the Cross Eyed Lion" whose
picture was used June 10 in the maya
zine section of The Sunday Star, is the
mascot of the Prevention Of Blindness
Society's current campaign to urge the
early treatment Of croSS-eye in chill
dren.
This campaign is sponsored by Lions
Clubs all over Washington. The Lions
Clubs have made it possible for the
Prevention of Blindness Society to
screen 866 preschool children for
croSs-eye.
OF the IS children who gave evidence
Of cross-eye almost one half had never
been treated and were referred for
further professional examination.
It is not popularity understood that
untreated croSS-eye almost always leads
to a loss of vision in the weaker eye.
Children do not "outgrow" cross-eye-
it must be treated. The younger the
child when treatment starts, the better
the chances for good results. Cross
eye is q needless handicap which, II
untreated, often results in social NAL
adjustment and decreased earning
power.
The Prevention of Blindness Society.
Red Feather agency, takes this OPP
portunity publicly to thank the Lions
Clubs for making possible this public
service.

Dr.. oppenheimers Peril

There Is one point which evidently
was not brought to the attention OF the
board that decided 1t could not trust
DR.. Oppenheimer it would be q
risk to the national security to allow
him to engage in work Of q classified
nature.
It is an uhdisputed fact that there
is danger connected with the atom and
hydrogen bombs. don't think it ever
can be determined as to the number OF
times DR.. Oppenheimer. and the people
who worked with him. faced personal
physical danger in dealing with these
unknown quantities. Perhaps they
themselves do not know the number OF
times when q wrong move would have
resulted In death from explosion or
radiation. When DR.. Oppenheimer was
asked to develop atom and hydrogen
bombs. he was asked to face the pos
sibility Of death as surely as any soldier
who is asked togo forward into battle
faces that possibility.
And so, ask, how much more proof
does the board have to have of mans
complete and unqualified devotion to
his country than the fact that he has
proven he is willing to die for it? What
further deeds are needed to prove 10y
atty. patriotism, dependability and
trustworthineSS? BY what yardstick Of
loyalty does the board measure DR..
Oppenheimer's full devotion when it
decides that he is loyal but security
risk? II he had been killed in the course
Of his work, would the board still decide

Proiseworthy Obstruction

As General Services Administrator Mansure
said In his letter to retiring Public Buildings
Commissioner w. E. Reynolds, there is plenty
Of evidence of Mr.. Reynolds constructive con-
tributions to the development of Washington.
Numerous fine Federal structures attest his in
terest and participation in the building OF
better Capital City. But there was an obstruc-
tive side to Commissioner Reynolds long public
service that deserves to be remembered as he
prepares to return to private life He always
was firmly opposed to the erection of any more
"tempos" on the Mall. It is hoped that this
negative attitude toward the recurrent tendency
during national emergencies to add to the un-
slightly array of temporary" Offices and bar
racks on park property will be inherited by his
successor, Peter A. StrobeL
Commissioner Reynolds once asserted that
the Government ought to start at the Lincoln
Memorial and roll them the tempos) up In q
ball along the Mall" When, after the Korean
war outbreak, there was new talk OF building
more plywood- and plaSterboard eyssores on
FEDERAL reservations Mr.. Reynolds threatened
