not have the critical background to
evaluate educational material"
Informed persons who know the
storm that is brewing in the educa-
tional world will recognize these state
ments at once. They have appeared
from coast to coast in every city where
an increasingly FESTIVE public has
sought to find out what it's children
are being taught.
The argument that the lay public
does not have the ability to evaluate
texts professionally misses the point.
The public pays the taxes to support
the schools and has the legal and moral
right to say what shall be taught in
them.
This argument about the layman's
lack of critical ability is put forward
in no other profession. A surgeon may
inform man his life depends upon
an operation, but he cannot legally
perform the operation without the
mans consent. A lawyer can give his
client advice, but he knows the right
Of decision rests entirely with the client.
A dentist can make an inlay but
whether it goes in and whether of gold
or silver are the patients prerogatives

porters are. as illustrated in the Mont
gomery case. the only ones who assert
that their medicine must be swallowed
without inspection and without cues

because their patients are the future

Re0ssurinq to Federal Employees

The whole community will welcome the
news that the Governments reduction in force
program has been about completed While the
necessity for economy and for personnel
changes incident to change in administration
was generally recognized here the combination
of the two forces hit Washington hard. The
personnel layoffs and requirements had tenn
porary demoralizing effect on the Federal
establishment and disturbing repercussions out
side the civil service.
1t was inevitable that reduction of nearly
$4,000 Federal jobs in one year in the Washing
ton area would be felt acutely in a community
whose principal source of employment is the
Government. In addition, the dumping" of
thousands of key employees, including some vet
eran careeristS, to make way for administration
appointees aggravated the morale situation in
the departments. 1t is interesting to note that
the humping program has been criticized by
some persons as too extensive and by others
as not extensive enough. The fact is that the
Civil Service Commission has blocked many
proposed f1rings and hirings as not justified,
Chairman Philip Young has assured the
AFL American Federation of Government EN-
ployeS that the civil service system has been
strengthened by what has happened since the
Eisenhower regime took charge To quiet fears
of a continued upheaval in Federal en-
ployment, Chairman Young asserted that the
$4,000 reduction in personnel planned for the
next fiscal year $1,000 in the Washington agen-
cies) could be effected without any additional
diSmissals. The normal attrition process in
volving designations, retirements and deaths,
will accomplish the reduction, he said. Thus,
by not filling such vacancies the necessity for
further disrupting layoffs will be avoided. The
announcement gave Federal workers something
to celebrate over as they observed National
Civil Service Week.

Belgrade and the Cominform

High oHclatS in PreSldent-MarShal TitoS
government have an interesting and plausible
explanation for the Cominform's invitation to
Yugoslavia to restore its ancient bonds" with
the Soviet Union. AS they see it, the invitation
Is a wedge driving propaganda stunt designed
to whip up Western suspicious by making it
appear that their country may do an about-face
and return to the arms of the Kremlin.
In support Of this explanation, the Yugo-
slav officials have noted that the Moscow
directed Cominform has coupled its "imperti-
nent" and absurd" bid with comment cacu-
lated to increase the distrust felt in some quar-
tiers OF the free world as result of the recent
disciplinary action against Movan Djilas.
Djilas, once high in Tito's councils, has been
ousted from all his positions of influence and
authority, and since he has frequently expressed
strong views in favor of the West, his fall from
grace has been rather widely interpreted as a
sign that Belgrade might be toying with the
idea Of returning to the Soviet fold. The Comm
forms invitation, according to the officials is
simply Shrewdly timed effort to. make this
Interpretation seem sound in order to under
mine Yugoslav Western relations
The men around Tito have therefore made
special point of declaring that the dsciplining
Of Djilas has been strictly an intra party mat
ter, with no effect whatever on Belgrade's atti-
tude toward the West Further, they have en-
phasized that Titos government, looking with
contempt on the Cominform's words, considers
it ridiculous for anybody to suppose that it will
ever again tie itself in submission to the Soviet
Union In short, vowing their determination to
keep both themselves and their country indie
pendent of Moscow, Yugoslavias "heretical"
Communists have vehemently affirmed that
they have no intention of moving back behind
the Iron Curtain and that they will agree to
nothing more than the 'normalized" diplomatic
relations which the Kremlin processes to want
relations no better or no worse than those
now prevailing between Russia and free nations
like the United States.
Considering all that has happened since the
Belgrade-Moscow break in 1948, there is no good
reason to doubt the sincerity of this Yugoslav
position Tito and his country have been sub
jected to years of the most vicious kind of Soviet
attacks and it is unlikely in the extreme that
the Kremlin, after having clawed at them so
severely for so long, can lure them back now
with sweet words or empty Establishments
The West should be slow to grow suspicious
merely because of things like the Cominforms
invitation.

A Boy and His Doq

The reunion Of Smoky the dog, with his
young master at the National Training School
for Boys was something worth reading about.
For 1t dealt almost entirely with the best of
things. There was the companionship between
a boy and his dog, the hard luck that ended it
and separated the two and took away from
each of them one of the few genuine things
that life can offer-something to believe in
and to trust. There was the quick realization
by others of what this tragedy meant, and
successful effort in spite of many obstacles to
bring the two together again and thus restore
what the boy and his dog surely believed had
been lost And there was the happy ending
yesterday in the superintendent office. Happy
ending? One thing that made it a happy
ending was the hope, shared by so many people
who thought about it, that 1t really may mean
happy beginning.

Those Security Risks

The seemingly inspired reports that any
detailed breakdown of the 1900 security risk
firingS might injure the individuals involved
are not convincing. For as matters stand, all
or nearly all Of the 1900 have been adversely
affected by loose talk to the effect that they are
traitors, subversives or perverts Any kind of q
breakdown would be better than this prevailing
condition.
There is more substance to the Presidents
suggestion that 1t might not be possible to pub
lish any real breakdown in specific categories
that will satisfy every one. Even If this is the
case, however, there is no excuse for refusing
to give any breakdown
Republican spokesman including some in
the Presidents official family, have tried to
make partisan capital out Of the suggestion

that all or nearly all Of the 2,200 were fred for

although The Star does not believe he in

encouraged an inference of disloyalty.
In other places however, it has been stated
that not more than 10 per cent of the firings

probably is much closer to the truth In any

The Underworld Will Approve

Ordinarily the impending retirement of a
Government scientist would be of no interest to
the underworld. But DR.. Wilmer Souder who
will retire from the Bureau of Standards next
month, is special sort of scientist whose activ-
tiles for many years have been of considerable
concern to violators of Federal laws. There are
men behind bars who would have welcomed DR..
Souder's retirement long ago, for the bureau
expert who made crinnoogy a hobby was
largely responsible for putting them there.
Dr. Souder, physicist, originally confined
his researches mainly to dental amalgams and
to precise measurement of materials. He dis
tinguished himself in both fields His studies
OF metals and his work in NEUROLOGY (the science
OF weights and measures) proved highly useful
in his later ventures into the realm of scientific
crime detection. These ventures, at first an
"extracurricular" activity, gradually took more
and more Of his time as his services became
more and more in demand He was one of the
country's pioneers in gum typewriter and hand
writing Identification along with experts of
the Federal Bureau of Investigaton-and at a
time when scientific methods of crime detec-
ton often were discounted in many police de-
partments and even in some courtrooms. Wash
ington police were glad to have his help in solv-
ing many cases, however, and so were some
outside police agencies. Perhaps his most i'm
portant testimony was given in the Lindbergh
kidnap-murder case, in which he identified the
handwriting on the ransom notes as that of
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, later convicted and
executed for ''the crime of the century"
The Government will lose one of its most
trusted and valued public servants when DR..
Souder forsakes his microscopes, test tubes,
measuring instruments and other devices in
his laboratory at the bureau on February %.
It Is good to learn, however, that he will con-
tinue his interest in scientific detection after
retirement. Law enforcement still has need for
his technical talents.

Forecostinq for 1854

Dave Mcdonald, president of the CIO Steel
Workers, says that 1854 prospects for the steel
industry are good-that 1854 could be one of
the biggest production years in history" Ben
Fairless, chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, biggest in the field, says that the
industry will spend $3.50 million on new plants
and equipment this year with $500 million
coming from his company alone. After referring
to General Motors plan to spend 81 billion in
the next two years. Mr.. Fairless added: ut
might be said that industry is betting It's shirt
that there won't be a depression"
Specializing about the economic future has
become a popular, although perhaps hazardous,
pastime. Many of todays forecasts are on the
gloomy side and q considerable quantity of
evidence can be cited to support such a view.
On the other hand, men like Mr.. Mcdonald
and Mr.. FairleSS are not given to "whiStling in
the dark They are closely associated with one
OF the basic industries of the country, an in
dustry that is generally considered the most
sensitive barometer for evaluating the economic
weather. Actually current operating statistics
in steel are being described as disappointing
to the optimists but surprising to the pessimistS
They show an operating rate at about IS per
cent Of capacity and there are indications they
will continue that way until next month. Most
steel industry spokesman talk hopefully OF an
upturn in March.
There has been considerable talk about
what Government can do, should do or might
do to help brighten the economic atmosphere
Likewise, there has been talk about what in
dustry can do. Mr.. Fairless' reference to con-
tinued expenditures for plant expansion points
the way to one of the most effective of the self
administered Stimulants available to business
President EiSenhowers economic report quotes
McGraw-Hill survey as showing that industry
plans 1854 plant and equipment expenditures
only about S per cent below the record S28
billion spent in 1858.
Craftsmanship and advertising also have
been mentioned as high on the list of practices
to which industry should give greater emphasis
this year. William c. McKeehan, jr head of
two nationwide advertising associations says
it is time to "accentuate the positives" In his
opinion, expressed recently in an address be-
fore the Advertising Council here, there are
two powerful forces at work In our economy
by which business prosperity and the "upgrad-
ing OF everybodys standard of living" can be
attained. The forces are those of our economic
and population growth and the needs which
stem from such growth.
Mr.. McKeehan is basically correct about
the forces which are built into our economy
And while it may take more than an advertising
campaign to "sell prosperity" the generally
and Mr.. Fairless indicate that the peddlers of
gloom have not by any means proved their
case.
