Nobody Won't q Safe Cor?

often baffled me-
Can any one explain why the safe

the American Medical Association and
the National Safety Council has not
been adopted by a single American
manufacturer?

turer had adopted It,

can be made to this car. With the

The recent editorial, "Of Ships and

Commerce Subcommittee is paying at
tention to a neglected segment of
the national economy-our Merchant

that there was actually serious gov

have curtailed our strength at sea.
Perhaps, had this short-sighted plan to
close the Merchant Marine Academy
at Kings Point been adopted, other
ideas might soon have presented them

Academy be abandoned, and assuring
us that Navy is obsolete; or maybe
there would have been proposal to
close West Point, because the next war
would be "pushbutton" job!
The proposal to close the Merchant

that the academy would run for at
least another year goes to the American

The people of Will Shakespeare's day
thought he wrote the plays. The col
lections made after his death gave him
the credit.
All the arguments against him sum
up to no more than the belief that
he couldn't. he simply couldn't, have
written such wonderful stuff.
One book in Marcel Proust's Re
membrance of Things Past" helps us
understand.
Proust tells of reading a famous
author, and building up mental pic
ture of him.
Such work, he thought, means
wonderful man, large, generous, pic
tureSque.
Then he met the guy, and my! how
his picture collapses. The great man
turns out to be mean, petty, small,
ugly and Grabbed in temperament.
This could not be. surely could not
be, his famous author! But he was,
just the same
So it is with Shakespeare. Those
who dispute his authorship of the
great plays do not understand writer's.
They do not realize in the least that
writer's make their own world. Some
times they stand outside 1t, sometimes
they enter 1t. It makes no difference.
It Is their world, the thing Of their
creation. They write it. They do not
have to look it.

Mr.. Nehru's Truce Idea

No matter how appealing or well-intentioned
1t may be, Prime Minister Nehrus proposal for
an immediate and unconditional truce in Indo-
China seems to fall far short of being realistic,
and it's timing is dubious at best.
Mr.. Nehru's idea, as explained to the Indian
Parliament, is based on his personal feeling
that it will be "a pity" if the fighting is allowed
to continue over there while preparations are
being made to discuss the problem at the
Geneva conference beginning in late April. Ac-
cordingly, believing that a cease-fre would
improve the negotiating atmosphere, he has
urged that the French Union forces and the
Wet Mini Communist regime halt their war
fare forthwith at the positions they now hold
In advancing this proposal Mr. Nehru has
been at pains,to declare that India has no desire
to do more than advocate an end to the shoot
ing. AS he has put it, ut is not our intention
to intervene in any way or involve ourselves.
But do venture to suggest to all the parties
concerned that in view of the fact that this
matter is going to be discussed at the Geneva
conference. it might be desirable to have some
kind of cease-fire without any party giving up
its own position or rights" However in offering
his advice, he has definitely injected himself
into the situation, and he has done so in what
seems to be wishful, off -the-cuff manner
with little thought given to such questions as
the following Cd Considering the way in which
the Communists Stymied the Korean armiStice
negotiations for months and months, how can
it be expected that they will quickly agree to
stop hostilities in Indo-China? And (2) since
the war in that country is fluid one, since 1t
has no clearly defined battle fronts as in Korea,
how can truce line be reliably fixed and eff
fectively guaranteed against Red infltration
and other violations?
These and similar questions speak for them
selves as a measure of the unrealiStic nature of
Mr.. Nehru's call for cease-fire in advance of
the Geneva conference. Actually, one of the
purposes of that conference-which is to deal
with Korea on f1rst-priority basis-is to take
up just such questions when it gets around to
discussing Indo-China. Meanwhile, in view of
the Communist performance at Panmunjom it
is obviously wishful to suppose that "the parties
concerned" might be able to agree on an &C.
ceptable truce beforehand.
Everything considered, therefore, Mr.. Nehru's
idea seems rather naive and strangely timed.
The Communists may be able to use it for
propaganda purposes, but the Western powers
especially France-have little reason to fwel-
come it.

Count the Gain With the Cost

If Representative OHara is correct in saying
that complaints by Washington citizens over the
high taxes it imposes may undermine" the
public works legislation, then the legislation
must have very flimsy foundations.
That, however, is not the case. The legis-
lation is strongly supported by necessity. II
the legislation is abandoned that abandonment
will hurt Washington. Congress has very real
responsibility to prevent that injury. And Con-
greSS is composed of members who should know
better than anybody else-for most of them
have spent years in politics and public life
that complaints from the taxpayers follow
higher taxes as surely as night follows day.
OF course, Washingtonians have every right
to protest not only the total tax burden favored
by the OHara joint committee, but the kinds
OF taxes that make it up. There are. good
arguments in favor of the loan and-tax COM
bination favored by the Commissioners and
supported by the Budget Bureau for financing
general fund expenditures on schools and other
improvements Of the sort. When the House
and the Senate District Committees take up the
legislation, opportunity to state their case
should be given to those who oppose the O'Hara
program provided they have something they
believe is better. If their arguments should
prove convincing, the financing program might
be changed
If such protests are unavailing, however,
The Star is not prepared to agree with former
Commissioner Donohue, for example, that the
present program is wholly unacceptable" For
If the public works program-with new guaran-
tees of Federal financial participation-is
Scrapped, what is going to take its place? The
answer is that we shall have more Of the same
type of hit-or-misS appropriations that we have
had for the past Is years or so. We shall make
small progress in obtaining highly necessary
public improvements. And eventually we shall
be paying about as heavily in new and higher
taxes under "do nothing" program as we shall
be paying under the public works program
drafted by Mr. OHara's committee
That program is far from being "unac-
ceptable," when its advantages are counted
along with its cost.
