have of escaping atomic annihilation
would be to forcibly dismantle our

Spurtun Methods Leuye Him Cold

It seems that one of the more COM
monty heard complaints against our
present educational system is that it
is making 'softies" out of the students.
Apparently the junior and senior
high schools of Montgomery County
have decided to counteract this by ap-
plying little spartan treatment as
part of the physical education program.
Every day the boys are treated to 40
minutes of physical education in the
great outdoors irrespective Of outdoor
temperatures, clad only in light gym
shorts and T-Shirt. Recently temper
atures were so and below.
1t was chilly enough for the instruc-
tors to wear long trousers, sweaters and
a coat. Being so warmly clad, they
could lightly inform their shivering
charges that they could not wear sweat
shirts" so early in the season.
AS net result, two of my boys came
home with severe colds which they dis
tributed among the rest of the family.

WASTE of Mall Purkinq Space

I wish to protest vigorously against
the current restricted two-hour park
ing along the Mall.
I work on the Mall at Fourth street
and Adams drive. The other day in my
Office I looked out the window at the
streets lining and intersecting the Mall.
where we used to park. if we got there
early enough. The streets were prac-
tically bare-no tourists, no sightSeerS,
nobody. And we had to ride jam
packed buses! This is an unmitigated
waste that smacks of the most hagrant
wastes of the New Deal: Potatoes, and
butter, and such, Ito support prices!"
In this case it seems to be the Capital
Transit Co. that is the supportee.
Even were the parking facilities sub
stanually used by sightseers as was
claimed, this restriction would still be
highly discriminatory in favor of Wis
itors and against native citizens. When
we visit other cities, do we profit from
parking facilities taken from the ma
tives thereof? Heck. no! We have to,
and expect to, scramble for ourselves.
In fact, in most cities we don't even
expect to be able to use our own cars.
We put them on parking lots and use
public facilities to get around.
Therefore, petition that. when the
ludicrous failure of this hare-brained
scheme becomes apparent to all con-
cerned, after fair trial, the original
facilities be restored.
AS it was, and could remain. the en-
tire two blocks or so fronting the Mel
lon Art Gallery has long been re-
stricted for tourists.

FOOTING the School Bills

I read "Mrs. MS" letter about the
high cost of schooling in Montgomery
County and was amazed at her 1gno-
rance of the subject.
She has four children in school and
yet her real estate tax just about
covers the school costs for one child.
Who does she think pays for her other
three children?
I can give her at least a partial
answer. T. too, pay real estate taxes in
Montgomery County. Three-fifths OF
my tax goes into the school budget,
and yet I have no children, nor any
relatives with children in the county.
I live on a small pension which is
barely enough for my needs.
"Mrs. NJ" should consider herself
very fortunate to be living in county
that supplies good educational oppor-
tunities for her children, and be CRATE
full that there are other taxpayers who
pay for their education.

Nap was so busy eating big platter
of beef that he did not see Buttons.
The smaller cat sunk himself low
on his legs, and ran like rat toward
the food.
Before Nap knew what had happened,
Buttons had seized all his mouth would

Then he ran in his peculiar rat gait
toward the garage.

If it should become real Knockout
effort, for no nation is going to suffer
defeat without using its most effective
weapon.
Thus Europe is between the devil and
the deep blue sea, so to speak; or, stated
more realistically, Europe is in wise
and will literally be crushed when the
great jaws of these two giant war
machines begin to close in a struggle
for world power.
To meet this impending disaster,
what is being done? Europe, with our
participation, has been wrangling over
the sovereignty and rearming of Ger
many with some IL divisions. This is
huge deluSion of defense. What will IL
German divisions amount to as buffer
against Russia with her hundreds Of
divisions plus other hundreds from Red
China? Sure, both we and Europe had
better forgo such fanciful dreaming.
If Europe were well advised, it would
do what India and Indonesia are plan
ming for portions of Africa and Asia
a neutral zone from Egypt to the
Philippines, with the purpose OF re-
sisting aggression from either the West
or the Communist group. Europe should
now unite for the specific purpose Of
warding off either the United States
or Russia and making them fight it out
over the Arctic circle, thereby reducing
the area of total destruction. with civ
ilization given chance of survival.
The fact that England has done the
balancing of power with respect to
Europe illustrates what Europe could
now do toward balancing the power
between Russia and the United States.
With Europe neutral and telling the
United States and Russia it will side
against the one who casts the first
stone, we might have long season of
peace. Anyway, what we are now doing
is just chinking few cracks while the
whole roof of the structure of civiliza-
ton is about to tumble down upon us.

Nothing attracts the migrating birds

Significant News

From time to time The Star has car
ried AP dispatches on the Moral Re-
armament Conference in Caux, Swift
zerland, and other conferences OF a
similar nature throughout the world.
I would like to express to you my ap-
probation for carrying this significant
news. I hope that you will be able to
continue to pick up these dispatches
from the AP wires, especially those
dealing with the Mackinac Island Con-
ference now in progress. Out OF these
conferences in the past has come de-
mocracy's inspired answer for: The
resolving of labor and management diff
ferences and conflicts of the East and
West; the functioning of new eco
nomics of unselfshness based on mems
needs rather than mems greed; and
answers for many of the problems that
beset us. We cannot have too much Of
this kind of news

The Republican Dilemma

House Majority Leader Halleck, Indiana
Republican of long political experience,
served up a press conference mixture OF
realism and naivete after his week end meet
ing with President Eisenhower at Denver.
The Republicans, Mr.. Halleck said, are
in for "a tough fight" in the Congressional
campaign but he believes the party will
about hold it's own in the battle to control
the 84th Congress. That it would be
tough fight appeared certain months ago
and as the campaign has warmed up during
the past fortnight it has become increas-
ingly clear that the Republicans have reason
to run scared" Indeed, Mr.. Halleck's
cautious estimate that his party may hold
its own sounds like more frank expression
of his real opinion than do most OF the
G. o. P. claims that they expect to gain Is
to Is seats in the House. While there may
be some morale value to exaggerated cam
paign claims, there have been few discern
ible signs to support Republican optimism.
Mr. Halleck may have been doing the Presi-s
dent and the party greater service by his
restraint.
There was wistfully naive note, how
ever, to the Indianan's complaint that 1--WE
haven't been able to get across to the peo-
pie just how good" the Eisenhower program
has been, and his further remark that
"weve had a little trouble getting : 1t
printed" Fortunately, the news stories
added that Mr.. Halleck joined in the press
conference laughter at this point.
Actually, it Is fair guess that the
Eisenhower program" and the administra-
tion's record on legislation and in foreign
affairs have been as fully discussed and
printed as any comparable chapter in our
history. II the merits contained therein

A New Chapter in MosIen History

Begun Liaquat Ali Khan, widow of the
first Prime Minister of Pakistan, has made
history by becoming her country's ambass-
ador to the court of Queen Juliana of The
Netherlands. She is the first MoSlem
woman ever to hold such a position. Her
appointment represents the opening Of
new chapter in Islamic civilization. It is
not just an empty honor, either. Relations
between the MoSlem nations and the Dutch
government are important-to all concerned,
important indeed to the whole world. The
Begums responsibilities at The Hague will
not be light She perforce will deal with
problems and issues requiring intelligence
Of the highest order, adequate training and
consequential experience.
These qualities she possesses in abun-
dance. Born Rama Pant in the hill town Of
Almora in 1905, she was educated at the
Isabella Thoburn College, Lucknow Col
lege and the University of Calcutta. With
the expectation of making career Of
teaching, she joined the faculty of the
Indraprastha Girls College at Delhi. But
her marriage in 1888 and the gradual de-
velopment of Pakistan as an Independent
state brought her opportunities for wider
and more varied service. In 1949 she
founded the AllPakiStan WOmen'S ASSocla-
tion-an organization which has created a
wealth of schools, hospitals, cottage industry
shops, refugee facilities and other living
monuments" of the distaff side of Paki-
stanian nationaliSm
Washington saw the Begun as early as
the Spring of 1850, when she came here
with her husband. She returned to Amer
lea in 1852 to be delegate of Pakistan in
the United Nations. Now her activities are
Towering in the top echelons Of European
diplomacy. The Begun, however, is not
the first gifted woman to influence the
course Of Islanic culture. She has the
precedent of Muntaz Mahall, wife Of Shah
Jahan and his trusted counselor and ad-
wiser, the inspiration of what popularity is
regarded as the most beautiful building on
earth-the famous Tai Mahal at Agra.

Aetna Like Children

The school children can gain nothing
from strikes" and other moblike demon
strations against the ending of segregation,
unless their gains are to be written in terms
of eventual disgrace to themselves and deep
tragedy in this community.
If the children are incapable of under
standing why that is true, responsible par
entS will help them to think it through.
Some of the children are confused about
the situation in Milford, Delaware, for ex-
ample, and at Anacostia and Mckinley high
schools yesterday were heard to say that
eff they can get away with it in Milford,
we can get away with it here" This is not
Milford. This is the Capital Of the United
States. Neither the Federal Government,
nor it's agency, the District government, is
going to permit any departure from the
decision of the Supreme Court that found
q segregated school system to be invalid
under the Constitution.
Nor should the children or their par
ents be miSled by the fact that in number
of the States, including most of Maryland
and Virginia, desegregation has been de-
layed by the responsible authorities until
the Supreme Court issues it's DEGREES next
year. This is perfectly legal course. The
Federation of Citizens Associations believes
we should have followed the same course
In the District of Columbia Proceeding in
a proper and orderly manner, the Fedora
ton, through counsel, has appealed to the
courts. Thus far, however, the courts have
found no substance to the Federation'S con-
tention. The Federation, being composed of
good citizens, will abide by the decision OF
the courts, and has never counseled taking
the law into it's own hands.
The demonstrations by the children, Of
course, are purely emotional. We have had
school strikes before, led by the parents,
and they have been condoned by the au-
thorities. We have whole generation Of
children indoctrinated with the idea, &C
cepted in high and low places, that it is
wholly proper to strike and to demonstrate
against what we do not approve OF. But
this is an entirely different situation, and
even a child should know it. The demon
stration by the children contains the seeds
of anarchy, not of lawful protest. Only a
handful of the youngsters at Anacostta and
Mckinley yesterday even thought they knew
what they were doing or why they were
doing anything, and their answers to ques-
tionS quickly showed how much they had
been Influenced by unSubStantiated rumor
and gossip. The rest Of the children ex-
hibited the same sheeplike qualities so
common among their elders, and were at
tracted by the excitement and the normal
desire to take a day off from school.
They will come to their senses, The
Star is sure, and with the help of their
parents will realize the true nature OF the
dynamite tkev are playing with. They will
remember that in explosions, those who set
the fuse usually escape unscathed. 1t is
the innocent bystander who gets hurt.
