A Family Court for Woshinqton

The bills introduced by the chairmen OF the
Senate and House District Committees pro-
viding for establishment of Family Court in
the District, go to Congress with distinguished
support. The principle has been indorSed by
the Judicial Conference of the District and Of
the United States. 1t has been under study
here for five years by a committee of judges
headed by Judge Tamm. Chief Judge Laws of
District Court and Chief Judge Stephens of the
Court of Appeals look upon the idea as the
reasonable and preferred alternative to increaS-
ing by three the number of judges now sitting
in District Court. There is no lack Of thought
full preparation behind the bill.
The advantages of separate Family Court
are twofold. The most immediate of these Is
to relieve District Court of type Of litigation
which requires much time by judges who should
be freed for other work. The other, longtime
advantage as seen by sponsors Of the proposal,
is that separate court, operating under three
Judges specializing in the field of domestic rela-
tions-including divorce actions, maintenance,
and custody of children-iS better equipped for
the task than judges who handle such prob
lens merely when the accident of rotation Of
Judges places the responsibility in their laps.
growing experience with the functioning OF
such courts in other Jurisdictions is in itself
persuasive argument for establishing one here.
Hearings on the legislation will provide
opportunity, not only for the expression of
opposition, Of which there is some, but for fur
ther exploration Of the idea of a separate court
as opposed to that of establishing the court
merely as a branch of District Court. In the
meantime, it is gratifying that serious consid-
Grafton Of the plan is going to get under way.

Pentogon Surrender

The powers that be in the Pentagon have
bowed in surrender to the political pressure
that can be generated in South Boston.
Last year, troops marched in the parade
which South Boston stages each year on March
II in honor, of course, of st. Patrick's Day, and
also in observance of the date on which the
hated British Redcoats reputedy withdrew from
the CITY, This would have been fine except for
one very unpleasant fact-the parading troops
were pelted with eggs, rocks and vegetables by
spectators-presumably drunken spectators-1n
the crowds along the lire of march.
The troops, many Of them decorated veter-
ans of the Korean war, didn't like this affront.
and made no bones about saying what they
thought. So the military authorities in Boston
took it upon themselves to announce that no
member of the armed forces would march this
year.
They spoke too soon. Democratic Repre-
sentative John w. Mccormack, an estimable
gentleman who comes from South Boston, said
that the announcement was decided insult
to the people of South Boston" Republican
Senator Saltonstall, who is up for reelection
and who needs the votes, protested vigorously,
although it must have CALLED him to do So
And the Pentagon, under these pressures,
meekly surrendered.
So the troops will march again in South
Boston, Possibly they will be stoned once more,
and some of them may be hurt. The authorities
should be prepared. The Pentagon ought to
strike a new medal to be awarded, not for
gallantry above and beyond the call of duty,
but for gallantry which has not the remotest
connection with the call of duty

GINS Faith

Speaking through Harlow H. Curtice, It's
president, the giant General Motors Corpora
ton has made clear that 1t disagrees with the
pessimists who have recently been sounding
of with doleful predictions about what is in
store for our American economy. GIN is
optimistic. It firmly believes-despite talk
about serious recession, or even major
depression-that the Nation will continue to
prosper. And it is so convinced of the sound
ness of this faith that the faith itself is going
to be backed UP with huge amount of dollars.
Thus, according to Mr.. Curtice, GM-which
has already spent 50 billion on capital invest
ment since the end Of the Second, World War
will lay out an additional 81 billion in the next
two years on a new expansion program to meet
the needs of an expanding market" Most of
this money Is to be used for the creation Of
more facilities for the production of passenger
cars and trucks. At time when there is much
comment on the difficulty of selling automobiles.
this may seem to be romantic gesture. But
General MotorS-one Of the worlds greatest
corporations, an enterprise as realistic as it Is
big-iS anything but romantic. It's faith in the
future, the thing that has persuaded it to
expand further, is not based on wishfulness or
self-deluding dreams but on a hard-headed
assessment of the present economic outlook.
This outlook, as judged by General Motors
may be described as an encouraging one that
should inspire and challenge the competitive
spirit of free American enterprise. In Mr.
Curtice's words "the pessimists are again mis-
taken. No depression is in my vision. 1t is my
belief that the national economy will be strong
and healthy throughout the year." That is
also GINS belief, of course, and it stems from
such considerations as the following: Cd In
duStry in general is still making big capital
investments; (2) new housing construction and
commercial building are in an active state; 80
despite sporadic layoffs overall employment is
at a high level; a. consumer spending. bull
warked by well-sustained incomes and lower
taxes, promises to keep on being reasonably
stable: go defense expenditures, regardless of
economies, are bound to remain large, and (6)
I'VE are far behind. with respect to schools high
ways, hospitals and other public works at the
State and local level"-projects that must be
carried out and whose impact on the national
economy can be far-reaching.
All these are wholesome economic factors,
but as Mr.. Curtice has said-again speaking
for both himself and General Motors-"There
is one danger we must guard against-and that
is psychological. If those who persist in taking
a pessimistic view of the future succeed in
planting fear in the minds Of the public those
seeds of fear could take root and the result
might be the very condition we seek to avoid"
GIN, with its new investment program, is
demonstrating that there is no good reason for
such fear. If its example Is followed by the
Nation as whole, our economy will surely do
much better than the Cassandras predict.

Opposes Ruise for Congress

Here we go again! We want to bal
ance the budget. But congressman
can't live on $l2,500. with free Office
rent: clerical help. stationery, postage.
$2.500 tax-free. mileage, cut-rate hos
pitalization and junkets and members
of their families on the payroll.
Since the President is sincere in try
Ing to balance the budget and cut per-
sonal income taxes 1t would not seem
to be patriotic for Congressman to ask
for more money It would make one
believe what the late Harry Hopkins
said: "The people are too dumb to
know"
In most States the voters are fully
aware Of the absenteeism at roll call
and the time spent at home-f1ve
months in 1853 and now wanting six
months in 1854.

Point Four in Lebanon

On January 2, The Star published a
message from an Associated Press cor
respondent in the Middle East criti-
cizing the handling of the Point Four
Program by the authorities Of Lebanon.
I will be grateful If the following re-
marks are published with the hope Of
giving your readers correct report
on this program in Lebanon:
Only one member Of our Parliament
criticized the United States Point -Four
Program. Certain newspapers quoted
his speech, but only one Of them,
known for its leftiSt sympathies,
shared his views.
The strong and convincing reply of
the Prime Minister of Lebanon to the
remarks made by this member of Par
lament was favorably received by
American officials in Beirut.
Lebanon as a democratic country
does not expect its government to re-
main indefinitely in power. Lebanon
is the last example to be given when
political instability in democratic
countries is under review. Furthermore,
every government in Lebanon has al
ways respected all the international
agreements or treaties contracted by
its predecessors. It is also to be noted
that there are in Lebanon thousands
of foreign families. the majority of
which are American, enjoying full
freedom not enjoyed elsewhere.
All Point -Four projects were planned
by American technicians in co-opera
ton with technicians from Lebanon.
Their aim was to raise the standard of
living of the people and to combat
subversive principles and movements.
Nobody was allowed to interfere In the
planning of these projects other than
the technicians.
Undoubtedly various circles in Leb-
anon fear that the delay in granting
United States economic aid to Lebanon
is due to the fact that the United
States is anxious to bring Lebanon and
Israel nearer to each other. 1t Is i'm
portant to mention that some Ameri-
can officials in Lebanon did not hide
this fact, which provided golden op-
portunity for negative work by leftist
elements.
Our officials have confirmed. anc
we here repeat, that it Is not possible
to accept. as condition for economic
aid from the United States, any politi-
cal strings related to Israel. We have
always stressed that the only basis
for United States economic aid to
Lebanon should be our friendly COL
laboration with America. Israel has
nothing to do with our relations with
the United States. The most impor-
tant reason for the strong denial OF
the authorities of Lebanon of all ru-
mors concerning United States inten-
tions to bring Lebanon and Israel to-
gether was our attachment to Out
friendship with the United States.
Lebanon is not complaining Of its
inability to use the Point Four funds
but Of the relatively small amount as
signed to it. The policy of impartiality
would have dictated, 1t seemed to us,
a different apportionment Of funds.
The Ambassador of the United States
in Beirut is we'll informed OF tn?
