Irving LoWens' review in this news
paper of February IL, under the title
Composers Concert Lacking in Merit"
failed to worry me, notwithstanding the
fact that in the above mentioned con-
cert, two compositions of mine were
performed by Mr.. Mezzanotte and my
self. Certainly I pay no heed to hit
and run criticism built on a few in
sulting expressions and lacking in any
analysis of the music as such. Any
competent critic should be able to have
plenty to say about composition, its
structure, the melodic line. the power
of harmonic expression, and should ex-
plain why he does not like it. Instead,
Mr.. Lowens confesses. and quote:
There is little one can say about the
music. except that some pieces were
prettier than Others"
How in the world Mr.. Lowens could
hear any prettiness in my Rhapsody is
beyond me. The audiences applause
was enthusiastic but of course Mr.
Lowens may think that they were all
too naive. though, for my part, still
believe in Dor popul. Dor Del. Be-
sides, the article mentions that Mr..
Mezzanotte played my pieces with en-
thusiasrn but with faulty technique.
I would suggest next time to replace
the word enthusiasm" with the more
appropriate word temperament" and

Difference in u. S. Pensions

Congress recently passed and sent
to the President for his signature q
law liberalizing pensions or retiring
members Of Congress and their en-
ployes. i
Members Of Congress and their en-
ployes contribute .06 per cent Of their
salaries to the same retirement fund
that the 2.5 million other Govern
aent employees also contribute O6 per
cent Of their salaries. Members Of
Congress and their employees and the
rank and file Of Government employees
contribute the same. per cent of their
salaries into the same fund, but the
resulting annuities that are paid from
this fund are not the same.
IF member of Congress serves
10 years at salary Of $12.250 he con-
tributes. during his period of employ
ment. $3.50. If he retires after that
time. his annuity is $3.O62.50. If a
rank-and-file employee serves 10 years
at salary of $12,250. he also con-
tributes $3.50. If the rank-and- file
employee retires after that time, his
annuity Is only 81 $3.50. Why is that?
Why should the same amount of money
invested into the fund return so much
more to the Congressman? Is it be-
cause the congressman, and not the
rank-and-file employees. make the law?

Youth Fenced In
Eugene w. Burr.

In my opinion. the high cost of
living is largely responsible for juvenile
delinquency.
High costs of living space, due to
high costs of material. wages, ETC.. have
shrunk the size of houses, house rooms
and apartments. Few houses are built
nowadays with old-fashioned rooms,
parlors and bedrooms so restful and
comfortable. Instead the family comes
home, feels restless in small rooms, and
later goes out into the street to restau-
rants, movies, lectures, etc.
Children come from school. find no
one home (mother often is working, too,
neglecting her home for additional
money! and go out into the street.
What do they find? Autos which will
run over them if they try to play in
the street. They cannot use the streets
as We did in our youth. Nor are there
any large lots to play on as we had.
The street is bare of enjoyment. No
wonder that for some excitement they
join gangs who steal and vandalize for
sheer lack Of something interesting and
constructive.
Fairgrounds are at best a limited
cure. They are not like the woods or
lots-there is not enough variety of
play offered. I believe that if the city
bought large tract of land some miles
out of town and ran buses to and fro,
taking underprivileged children mostly.
it might help. Just let the boys do
what they wanted on this tract and it
would take off some of the pressure.

Protection for Congress
A. E. Delaune.

The violence on the floor of Congress
March ! raises the practical question
of what can be done to prevent recur-
renee of such incidents without depriv-
ing Americans of the right to see the
legislative process in action. If all
visitors to the galleries were to be
searched, the cry would rise that
peoples civil rights are being violated.
We think there is way to meet the
situation and yet preserve our essential
democratic processes. It is this! Install
electric-eye equipment at several Senate
and House chamber entrances and re-
quire that all gallery visitors pass
through these areas for inspection be-
fore entering the actual chamber.
Equipment of the sort used in screening
prison visitors or prisoners will show the
presence Of metallic objects such as
pistols, knives, or bombs. That way
violence Of this sort can be avoided
before it has chance to start. It
meets a situation. Can any reasonable
person object to such screening? / am
not in the electronics business nor have
any direct or indirect financial interest
in any such enterprise.

Mr.. Dean Departs

Despite the quasi denials and the double
talk, there is ample reason to believe that the
resignation of Arthur F. Dean as the State De-
partment's Korean truce negotiator was one Of
those here's-your- affairs.
After publication of story that Mr.. Dean
was through at Panmunjom, the State Depart
ment on February issued formal denial.
'rhere is no basis in fact" it said, "for the re-
port that Ambassador Dean is being withdrawn
from his assignment" And on February II Mr..
Dean made a Lincoln Day speech in which he
said that Il would like to finish the assignment,
would like to finish the task have started"
Two weeks later, however, he was writing
his letter of resignation, explaining that he had
courtroom commitments which would make it
impossible for him to serve after March or April
ercommitments which he neglected to mention
ia his February II speech.
Perhaps all Of this is not too important and

dwellers. whose patience Is not large,
when it comes to pets of any kind.
We can recall when chickens were
widely kept in Washington.
A very celebrated and wonderful
gentleman, whose name is before the
public every day. once kept chickens
in the H street block between Fifteenth
street and Vermont avenue.
He was then, in the gay COS, a lad
of Is years or thereabout.
His ROSTERS made so much noise in
early morning that the German
Embassy. then just around the corner,
squawked to the boys father.
The father was an old-fashioned
father-the moment some one else
kicked. the father acted. Fathers used
to be that way. Before you say their
way was wrong. think of the enormous
amount of juvenile delinquency that
exists today, and how little of it, COM
paratively speaking, existed then.
Maybe those old fathers had something
X
The lad was told to get rid of his
chickens, especially the ROSTERS, and
he did.
When one looks at the busy scene
at Fifteenth and H streets today, he will
wonder how this story could ever have
been true, but it was.
There were many sorts of pets in
old Washington, even foxes.
The fox, however, does not make as
good a pet as the raccoon.

Disputed School Films

On February 90, the newspapers car
ried the story of the attempt by
Messrs. Peck, Bragg and Broyhill of
Arlington to secure State censorship
of films used in State schools. At
the Arlington School Board meeting
that same day, the board replied by
wiring the State Committee on Educa-
ton that Arlington parents are
shocked that handful of disgruntled
citizens are seeking to involve you in
their maneuver to disrupt ArlingtonS
fine school system"
The same day Mr. Stockard. presi-
dent of the PTA Council. in his sup
port of the School Boards position,
states that these men are not in any
way the authorized representatives of
the PTA Council and cannot reflect the
views Of its $4,000 members toward the
present program"
May I ask how. in less than one
days time. the School Board was able
to learn that Arlington parents are
shocked" and Mr.. Stockard was able
to determine the "views Of the $4,000
members Of the PTA"? Did they poll
the parents and PTA members (if so
they overlooked mel. or do their posi-
tions as School Board chairman and
County Council president empower
them to exercise thought control over
the parents and PTA members?

Reviews Hatch Act RuIinq

Since David Lawrence criticized the
principles of the Hatch Act on Feb
ruary II, have watched your columns
for reply. Inasmuch as that act was
passed in defense of the freedom Of
Federal employees from political pres
sure. a side of the picture other than
that presented by Mr.. Lawrence may
be worth publishing. particularly in a
community where many thousands Of
Federal employees live and work.
Mr.. Lawrence questioned why any
member of Congress should "be afraid
to let Government official express
himself on any subject of public in
terest," whether at political meeting
or not. He goes so far as to say:
"No more reactionary piece of legis-
lation was ever put on the statute
books than the Hatch Act, which takes
away from Government employees their
right to speak their own views on the
subject of public affairs. On it's
face, the law seems invalid"
He wonders what the Supreme
Court of the United States will say to
all this some day if it gets clear-cut
case of a Hatch Act violation based on
a public speech at political meeting"
Since Mr.. Lawrence presented only
arguments against the act similar to
those Of the minority Of the court, the
following views from the majority opin-
ion may be of interest:
this court must balance the
extent of the guarantees of freedom
against a congressional enactment to
protect a democratic society against
the supposed evil of political partisan
ship by classified employees of Govern
ment."
Congress recognizes danger to the
service in that political rather than
official effort may earn advancement
and to the public in that governmental
favor may be channeled through polit-
ical connections
Congress and the President are re-
sponsible for an efficient public service.
If. in their judgment. efficiency may
be best attained by prohibiting active
participation by classified employees in
politics as party officers or workers, we
see no constitutional objection"
ITO declare that the present sup
posed evils of political activity are be-
yond the power of Congress to redress
would leave the Nation impotent to
deal with what many sincere men be-
leve is a material threat to the demo-
cratic system
Congress may reasonably desire to
limit party activity of Federal en-
ployes so as to avoid tendency toward
one-party system"
The courts opinion is based on
RI lot I1o
use of the Hatch Act whenever a Fed
eral employe. not in the list of ex-
empted officials, may make a public
speech in political campaign.
Whether that act is to be repealed,
remain as it is. or be strengthened,
is clearly question of public policy
not of constitutional validity.

Correcting False implications

Just how many Communists or other sub
verSives have been removed from the Federal
payroll since the Eisenhower administration
Games into power remains a mystery, despite
Civil Service Commissioner Youngs efforts to
clarity the matter. It would appear from Mr.
Young'S amended testimony before a Senate
committee that he is as uncertain about the
number as the average confused citizen. But
Mr.. Young has made one thing clear: Loose
claims and implications by Republican speakers
that the number of loyalty dismissals has run
into the thousands since the G. O. P. took over
the Government were wholly unfounded
The csc chairman now says that of 2429
employees who have been separated under the
new security-risk program 422 were re-
moved because of information of a definite
subversve character in the files" But, he
added, this does not necessarily mean that any
of the dismissed employees actually were SUBJ
versive. He said he could not produce any fig
ures on the actual number of disloyal persons
included in the total So it is evident that
Senator Mccarthy did not know what he was
talking about when he declared that 80 per cent
of the firings we're because of Communist con-
nections and activities or perverson" Perver-
sion accounted for only 10 per cent of the totally
Attorney General Brownell, Governor Dewey
and even President Eisenhower himself had
made statements which tended to miSlead the
public as to the true situation and none of
these gentlemen has evidenced any great desire
to correct or to clarity the false implications
of what has been said
If it had not been for newspaper criticism
and the demands by members of Congress for
a breakdown of the misleading statistics, the
reading public would still have the wool pulled
over its eyes.

Paying for the BRIDGES

Testimony at the House hearings on two
Potomac River bridges has again emphasized
that there iSsa bigger question to be answered
than the location of such necessary structures.
OF paramount Importance now is the question
of who is to pay for either or both of them This
issue has got to be decided with some degree of
finality before there can be any intelligent con-
sideration by Congress of Sites designs and ap-
proaches. And, in resolving the financing prob
lem, it is about time to halt the trend toward
loading onto District taxpayers dispropor-
tionate share ofsthe cost of public improvements
intended to benefit largely the Federal estab-
lShment and it's satellite suburban communities.
Evidence presented to the House District
subcommittee this week shows that traffic condi-
tons necessitating the building of more bridges
across the Potomac have arisen chiefly as the
result of the phenomenal expansion of Federal
activities in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Both the proposed street and Jones Point
bridges are specifically designed to relieve this
Federally generated traffic congestion. Both
will be of material benefit to residents of Vir-
ginia, a majority of whom are employed in
Government departments and agencies.
Yet it is proposed that no special Federal
appropriation be made toward the street prof.
ect beyond the regular Federal aid available
to the District and all States. And the State of
Virginia amazingly advises Congress that while
it would like to see both the E street and Alex
andria bridges built, it cannot contribute so
much dollar toward either undertaking!
OF course, Virginia over the years has been get
ting away with this let-Some- lone -elSe-pay poll
icy, thanks to the generosity of the Federal Gov
eminent and of the District. But it is absurd
for any one to think that this pleasant but
inequitabe arrangement can go on forever
Even Maryland, which stands to benefit less
than Virginia from the bridges, has agreed, to
build her share of approaches.
The Broyhill bill properly recognizes the
Federal interest in the Jones Point bridge allot-
ting the entire cost of that structure and some
of its approaches to the Federal Government
But the Federal interest in the street bridge
will not be fairly represented under the proposal
for District financing, supplemented by the
ordinary so per cent Federal-aid- to- highways
ALLEGATION. The street bridge is not an ordi-
nary Federal-aid project. It is an extraordinary
trafacrelief enterprise calling for extraordinary
financing
