Why Crime Receded

There were good reasons for the graft
flying drop in major crimes here during the
past fiscal year. The decline Of 1874 per
cent in felonies over the previous fiscal
year followed several moves made by Police
Chief Murray to strengthen the city's de-
lenses and offenses on the underworld front.
And as the police work grew more effective
the wave Of lawlesSnesS which had brought
a bad name to Washington In recent years
began to SubSide.
The most potent factor In the crime
recession undoubtedly was the assignment
Of more policemen to street patrol duties
This was accomplished with the help OF
Congress, which rectif1ed an earlier error
by restoring funds with which policemen
could be paid for working overtime. Unable
to obtain all the recruits needed to bring his
force to authorized strength, Chief Murray
filled the gap by putting veteran officers on
overtime patrol work. The increased
round the-clock vigilance resulted in con-
tinuing attack on the muggerS, housebreak-
ers and other law violators. It was very
discouraging development for all hoodlums.
simultaneously with the extra-duty
policy Chief Murray began reorganization
of the whole investigative setup in the pre-
cincts. The "Shimonizing" operation that
had proved it's worth in one bad section OF
the city was gradually extended into all the
precincts. new divisional arrangement
included the establishment in the precincts
Of special detective units functioning under
the precinct commanders but closely linked
with Detective Headquarters. Seasoned
investigators were put in charge OF the
units. Criminal elements have been kept
on the run and many serious crimes have
been cleared up promptly. The jail popula-
ton has risen as the crime rate declined.
Another factor in the fine showing of the
department is the improved morale
throughout the force The Police Depart
ment was in low spirits when Chief Murray
took over. He deserves great deal OF
credit for bringing about such salutary
change in conditions. Washington no longer
has cause to apologize to anyone for its
police force or its crime rate-something
that could not have been said with any
verify just few years ago.

/ can't follow some of the arguments
against admitting Red China to the
U. N. It is said that Red China is an
aggressor and the U. N. opposes ag-
erosion. But the u. NJ. was not
created to oppose aggression by ignor-
ing it; the aim of the U. N. is to- get
would-be aggressorS around q council
table and talk them into conducting
their foreign relations by more peace
full means.
It is said that we can't let Red China
"shoot its way into the U. n" The
present Chinese government, to be
sure, took power after q bloody revo-
luton. But so did the government
that preceded it. Our own Nation was
created by bloody revolutionary war.
England had a revolution in 1888,
France had one century later, and
our Latin American neighbors won ma
tionhood in bloody wars Of rebellion
The u. N. cannot decide that some
TGFOlUGlOIlS dIC SOOO dhu oAOuAN VIC
recognized, while others are bad and
should be ignored. The u. MS job Is
to deal with any group that is in power,
good or bad and induce it to stay out
of war. Admitting a nation to the
U. N. does not imply approval Of its
policies, domestic or foreign.
Underlying all the other arguments
is the naive hope that ignoring Macs
government will somehow make it dis
appear. But you can't deal with facts
by putting your head under the covers
We didn't overthrow Peron or the
Soviets by withholding recognition
from them for long time. Suppose
the Tsar Of Russia had refused to
recognize George Washington's first
administration because he disapproved
our republican form of government
such an action would surely have pro-
voked patriotic resentment among
Americans. Presumably your refusal to
recognize Mao brings him similar sup.
port in his country.
In deciding whether to recognize a
government or admit 1t to the U. N.
we should not consider whether it is

Democrocys Secret Weapon: Education
By james 6. Decne

TN AN international arena clouded BY
gloom, one bright spot Is the con-
tinuing role Of American colleges and
universities In spreading enlightenment
beyond national frontiers.
IN the school year Just ended. nearly
81 900 foreign students attended Ameri-
can institutions Of higher education.
Besides the fruits Of specific learning,
1t can be assumed that these students
are carrying back with them to their
homelands increased appreciation Of
American democracy and culture. Be-
hind them. they undoubtedly are leave
ing significant imprint on the educa-
tional communities where they have
lived and studied. In this way Ameri-
can higher education is making
practical contribution to international
good will and understanding.
who are these foreign students. why
do they come and what do they study?
Some Of the answers to these and
other questions are given In . booklet
published by the Institute Of Interna-
tional Education, a non-profit agency
which sponsors an extensive program
Of international student exchange.
The institute surveyed 1891 higher
education institutions In every State In
the Nation. Almost $500 reported hay
ing foreign students enrolled this year.
The students came from 12o coun-
tries, dependent areas, trust territories,
international. administrations and areas
under military government. More In
teresting than this diversity Of origin,
however. is the fact that increasing
numbers are coming from Asia. -Four
of the i've largest nationality groups
this past school year were Asian. These
nationalities were Chinese, Indian,
Filipino and Japanese. They were ex-
ceeded only by Canadians. The insti-
tute labeled this Asian increase
significant trend"
The next I'VE countries were Mexico.
Colombia, Germany, Iran and Greece.
Government-sponso educational ex-
changes are bringing fewer students
from most European countries than for
merly, but both Spain and Greece sent
more this past year.
Thirty students were Tailed from the
Soviet Union, and total OF 252 from
other Iron Curtain countries. But the
institute reported doubt about the sta
tus Of these students. Some said they
planned not to return home, and others
supplied no pertinent information.
It might be supposed that govern
ment aid was instrumental in inspiring
or at least facilitating most study trips.
This was not the case. About $4,000
students reported paying their entire
expenses. and another 5000 part Of
their expenses, with their own funds.
Nearly 5000 reported full financial sup
port from private organizations, and
another 5000 similar partial support.
Not quite 1000 received governmental
support. and in almost 1000 Of those
cases it was only partial. (Not all stu
dents gave this information. however,

q good government or bad one, by
our standards. The only question
should be whether it is in power, and
hence force to be reckoned with in
preserving peace.
Old Fogey.
A recent dispatch from Washington
quoted Senate Republican Leader
Knowland as saying that Congress will
vote to cut of funds from the United
Nations If the U. N. admits Communist
China.
It takes courage and high degree
of patriotism for Senator Knowland to
make such a statement. Would that
we had more Senators like him.
The integrity Of the U. N. as an or
ganization dedicated to keep the peace
was seriously impugned by the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee report
last April IL.
That report stated "there is Com
munist fifth column operating within
the United Nations secretariat." This
document said the existence Of the ac-
tive subversive element brings into
serious question the work Of the United
Nations agencies" It is we'll known
that the employment of secret Commu.
nists is contrary to the U. N. charter.
When II Americans. employed by the
U. N, refused to testify CONCERNING
their Communist affiliation they were
discharged. The administrative tribu-
nal of the U. N. heard the appeal of the
discharged employees and ordered their
reinstatement by the United States or
payment of heavy damages on the
theory that the Communist conspiracy
is no more than a political party.
These charges embodied in the Sen
ate Internal Security report present
incontrovertible evidence that the U. N.
is nothing more than world debating
society which gives Russia an excellent
opportunity to broadcast her propa-
ganda.
Is it any wonder, then. that the Sc
curity Council of the U. N. is being
pressured to invite Red China? Sena-
tor Knowland knows this too, and he
is to be commended by all patriotic
Americans for the position he has
taken.

Our n Tests and the u. m.

The United Nations Trusteeship Coun-
Gil has done good days work IN defeating
the Kremlins effort to make big anti
American issue out Of the Marshallese Pc
tition regarding our hydrogen-bomb tests
In the Eniwetok- Bikini region.
AS presented TO the U. N. last May, the
petition drawn up by the native leaders Of
the people Of the Marshalls- complained OF
how our March / thermometer defamation
hurt about 236 Of the islanders, and 1t urged
that all such blasts be immediately ceased"
However, 1t also went on to declare that II
a continuation Of the experiments were
absolutely necessary for the security Of
the free world, and II the United States took
all possible precautionary measures to safe
guard the inhabitants from injury or eco
nonic loss, the Marshallese would then have
no objection to additional tests.
Moreover, the petitioners made spe-
clal point Of emphasizing that their appeal
was In no sense to be regarded as hostile
commentary Of the policies OF our country.
Thus, as IL to head of an anticipated Soviet
attempt to distort their views and menda-
ciously exploit them for propaganda pur-
poses, they specifically declared that their
position should not be misconstrued as
governing agency for the United Nations
under the trusteeship agreement, for aside
from the complaint registered In this petit
ton we have found the American admins
tration by far the most agreeable one in our
memory"
Despite all this, however, the Soviet
representative in the Donation TruSteeShip
Council accused the United States Of using
the Marshallese as guinea pigs" and Of
grossly exceeding it's rights In the area; and
he therefore demanded that the u. NJ. vote
for resolution to stop further H-bomb
tests at our Pacific Proving Ground. But
now the council has emphatically rejected
this demand. And it has turned down, in
addition, midas proposal that our country
be told not to set of any new Eniwetok-
Bikini detonations pending study by the
World Court to determine whether they are
legal in trust territory.
What nine Of the councils members
have voted for instead with Syria, India
and Russia dissenting) is resolution rec
ommending that the United StateS-if It
believes that additional tests in the area
"will be In the interests Of world peace and
security" "such precautionary meas
ures as will insure that no inhabitants Of
the territory are again endangered" The
resolution, which thus echoes the common
sense view Of the Marshallese themselves,
also notes that the good health of those
affected by the March defamation lis now
reported to be completely restored"
In effect, in taking this position, the
council has tacitly affirmed that the United
States is fully entitled to conduct thermo-
nuclear experiments in the Marshalls. The
Kremlin, which would like to have an ex-
elusive right to such experiments, has Jared
poorly in trying to browbeat the U. N. into
deciding otherwise.

The biggest ratios Of foreigners were
at Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology, Harvard and Cornell. Here in
Washington there were 1904 at 26 in
situations, with the largest number
(226) at American University. There
were 1853 at the University of Maryland.
Not enough research has yet been
done to gauge the effects of this for
eign influx on international UNDER
standing, according to the institute.
But 'as long as education itself is con-
sidered to be worthy goal of our in
terest and efforts, the existence Of OPP
portunities for study abroad will con-
tinue to be valued as an educational
experience alone" its report points out.
It adds, significantly:
Endorsed by congressional commit
tees, by national leaders in the United
States and abroad, the study -abroad
movement will apparently continue to
bring thousands of young foreign citi-
zens into our colleges in the years to
come"

@. Why are amateur radio operators
called "hams" 20. M. r.
A. No one knows definitely how this
name originated. Eric Partridge be-
lieves that 1t started in England about
1886, and some authorities think that
it came from the cockney custom OF
placing an "h" before initial vowels.
Thus "hamateur" eventually was
shortened to "ham."
@. When did gypsies first come to
America?-L. H. H.
A. In the latter part Of the 18th
century. They came from England
where they first had appeared two
centuries earlier. According to recent
studies, gypsies are the descendants Of
the Sudras and Jat tribes Of Northwest
india, which fed their homeland be-
cause Of the invasion Of Alexander
the Great.
