Peress Question Unanswered

Gould Lncoln's article in The Star
Of September 80 stated that "A select
committee Of the Senate has now
cracked down on Senator Joe Nc
Carthy for his treatment Of Gen. Ralph
w. Zwicker -" It further stated that
Indeed, the Zwicker case was the
jumping-off point in the whole drama
which has led finally to the select COM
mittee's report and recommendations I"
Mr.. Lincoln then goes on in a man
ner that would lead uninformed readers
to believe that the McCarthy-Steven
feud was sort of David Goliath affair,
with David (Stevens) triumphant. Mr..
Lincoln is entitled to his own opinions
and conclusions but I know that there
are millions Of people besides myself
who disagree with him. One very ques-
tionable statement made by Mr.. Lincoln
Is that "Mr. Stevens was a witness on
the stand for II days. and he and
his testimony were never shaken"
Fortunately we don't have to depend
on Mr.. Lincoln for information as we
saw the proceedings on television and
were eye and ear witnesses to the con-
tradictions Of Mr.. Stevens and Mr..
Adams.
Mr.. Lincoln is silent on the matter,
but what so many loyal Americans are
most interested in is why we are not
told who was responsible for the pro-
motion and honorable discharge Of
Maj. Peress. must admit that Stew
ems has triumphed to this extent. He
has succeeded in stopping the investi-
cation Of inflltration of subversives
into the armed forces, at least tenn
porarily, but is this what America
wants?
I am a lifelong, Missouri born Re-
publican, and gave my humble serv-
ices free Of charge in an effort to elect
Eisenhower. One Of my chief "gripes"
against the Truman administration was
the covering up of subversives, Com
munists, etc. In many respects the
present administration is following the
same pattern. Why are we not told
who was responsible for the Peress
affair?

Disappointed in Congress

The present Congress has demon
strated to my satisfaction that poll
ticians are not concerned with what is
right. but only with the expedient. Wit
ness Congress recent attempt to satisfy
a pressure group in regard to the pay
raise for Government employees. They
actually considered giving raise to one
segment of Government employees only.
not because they were better workers,
but solely because that segment was
strongly organized in a union. Such an
attempt is manifestly shocking and
unjust. 1t can only mean that justice
is denied the individual and extended
only to the pressure group. This state
of affairs acts as a tremendous incen-
tive for all Government employees to
join pressure groups, namely, one Of the
Government unions. as have just
done.

The President and Civil Service

Civil Service Chairman Philip Young's
comments on presidential responsibility for
developing Federal personnel policy have
been interpreted in some employe circles as
meaning that the commission is abdicating
its traditional authority in favor of the
White House. A careful reading Of his speech
at Columbia University on the subject in
dicates, however, that Mr.. Young was merely
stressing the Importance Of the Presidents
role in maintaining the merit system
Singled out for criticism by some en-
ploye organizations spokesmen was Chair
man Young's statement that the csc, "be-
cause of the way 1t is constituted and its
position in the Government hierarchy, can
not be effective" in developing and carrying
out an overall personnel policy. He declared
that presidential leadership was essential
to the program. AS a matter of fact, the
Hoover Commission on Organization OF the
Government made quite similar observa-
ton in recommending closer liaison be-
tween the CSC and the White House. Spe-
cif1cally, the Hoover report suggested that
the csc chairman be made the Presidents
principal adviser on civil service matters. A
task force of the commission had pointed
out that the commission, in recent years,
had lacked the authority and prestige
needed to do an effective job in building
up and maintaining career system. It pro-
posed to strengthen the commissions au-
thority by giving its chairman positive
role as presidential adviser, in accord with
the theory that the President has the ulti-
mate responsibility for personnel policies
and procedures. This did not imply any
dininution of csc powers, but rather an
increase.
President Eisenhower has instituted
this reform. There have been some indica-
tions, however, that not all of his aides
understand the new setup. The csc has
been rebuffed in several sound recommen-
dations, with sad results for the admins
tration. If the President will see to it that
the CSC head is, in fact, his principal ad-
wiser on civil service matters, less confusion
will occur and better personnel policies are
likely to result.

Free Atomic Enterprise

It is an interesting and significant
mark of the times that eleven OF New Eng
lands leading private utility companies
have banded together to organize cor
poration whose prospectus Is to build and
operate an atomic power plant to supply
a substantial part of the electricity needed
in the six-State area.
The new venture - which has been
named the Yankee Atomic Electric Com
pany - has a long way to go, of course,
before it can hope to be actually generating
and distributing power from nuclear energy.
But it has every reason to believe, as its
founders have declared, that within the
foreseeable future it will be furnishing such
power to many of the homes and factories
Of New England.
= This is so because there is no doubt,
Judging from what has been said by the
United States Atomic Energy Commission
and similar authoritative voices, that the
atoms force can be harnessed for industrial
and kindred civilian purposes on an eco
nomically feasible basis-a cost basis COM
petitive with that of coal and other con-
ventional sources of electricity. Expert
mental work to that end is now moving
forward at fast clip-notably in the great
by the Acc and the Duquesne Light Com
pany to construct a ,000-kilowatt nuclear
power plant capable of meeting the needs
of about 100000 non military consumers in
the Pittsburgh area.
It is virtual certainty that the build
ing and operation of this plant-though not
expected to produce power economically
competitive with the conventional type
will provide experience and information
that will greatly speed up the advent Of
such power. That is why the formation Of
the Yankee Atomic Electric Company makes
good business sense. And that is why, too,
comparable free-enterprise ventures-like
the impressive investment group just set
up under Robert LeBaron, former head OF
the Defense Departments Liaison Commit
tee to the AEC-will certainly be organized
in various parts of the country during the
years Immediately ahead. For this field,
while It must always be subject to large
scale Federal participation and control,
clearly is full Of bright opportunities for
private capital and endeavor.
The extent OF these opportunities can
be measured by the fact that the Nations
need for electricity doubles every 10 years
and that the world at large, because Of its
prospective population increase, is expected
to require about five times as much power
a half century from now as 1t uses today.
In other words, the demand In the making
Is so great, both at home and abroad. that

with hts last breath turned to the

thwarted and set at naught cannot

Christ as against anti-Christ, in faith
and hope and love as against goddess
ness and denial and cynicism and tyr

tomorrow. The order Of the day for
all who stand for Gods truth against

The Presidents Political Bid

President Eisenhower, discarding his
detached attitude toward partisan politics,
emphasized in his Denver speech the really
basic national issue in the current congress
sional campaign. It is simply the question
Of whether one party, the Republican, is
to have the real responsibility for govern
ing the country during the next two years.
The alternative which would develop In
event Of the Democratic Party winning
control Of Congress would be division,
perhaps even dissipation, Of responsibility
the possible effects Of which are, Of
course, being debated in this very campaign.
The President summed up his own
graph when he said: History shows that
when the executive and legislative branches
are politically in conflict, politics in WASH
ington runs riot the public good goes
begging progress slows or stops :.
good laws are pigeon-holed :. bad laws
are passed. Meanwhile, in the eyes Of the
world, we appear divided in council and
uncertain In purpose"
It may be argued that this is an
extreme opinion, deliberately exaggerated
for the Presidents partisan purpose at the
moment. There is support for his view,
however, in the only two instances in recent
decades In which the party out Of power
has gained control Of both branches Of
Congress in the midterm election. These
happened in 1918 and in 1946. In the 1918
election, the Republicans won the House
and Senate and President Woodrow Wilson,
Democrat, did indeed have bad time
during the last two years Of his administra-
ton. In 1946, the Republicans again took
over Congress under Democratic Pres
ident, Mr.. Truman, and again there was
friction and probably net impairment in
government effectiveness.
In the present campaign, the Demo-
Gratis have countered this issue with q
somewhat specious argument Of their own.
It is, in brief: That the Republican Party
really is divided within itself; that the
President belongs to the more LIBERAL but
not controlling, faction; and that Demo-
cratic Congress actually would support him
more often and more constructively than
would Republican. The first two parts
of this argument may be true, more or less,
but it Is distinctly unlikely that the third
part would prove correct Many Democrats
did support parts Of the Eisenhower admin
istration's program in the 83d Congress, but
there is little reason to believe that a
Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill dur
ing the next two years would enter into
political partnership with a Republican
President
Actually, most voting for congressional
candidates is determined by local consid-
erations rather than national interest. The
President, probably wisely is keeping out Of
most local fights but he has presented in
the Denver speech valid appeal for his
party to be given the unqualified response
bility to carry on through the remaining
two years Of his term.

Spires of the Spirit
Open the Window

More than we realize, life Is made or
marred by its windows. No matter what
the interior furnishings may be. the
transparent escape from conflning walls
into the immensities beyond Is the
crown and climax of any room. VIM
doWS are emancipation proclamationS.
A window invites the soul to Intimately
live with rair." and with sunshine. with
grass and trees and flowers; with the
bending sky. and, sometimes with an
ecstatic wonder beyond words to ex-
press, the ever exchanging sea.
Always the eyes peering from inside
OF window have much to do with what
! one sees on the outside, for our char
acters master our eyes and declare our
afilnities. Eyes tint the glass through
which they look.
Now the room Of each house Of life
has two principal windows which, to
some extent, the owner tints. There Is
the western window and the eastern
window Life is colored largely by what
these windows come to mean to the
one living within.
The western window holds captive a
panorama Of the past. There are the
vanished yesterdays etched and pre-
served, unchanging with the changing
years, which so affect the present and
the future. The western is the window
Of experience, the window Of history.
That window must never be kept cur
tanned. It has much to tell us. The
most sacred places Of life are plainly
visible from that vantage point Well
has 1t been said by one of the authentic
seers Of our generation: IF man has
lived worthily, memory becomes a
shrine, with treasures in it too sacred
to be given up; and far beyond the
borders of his own individual recollec-
ton he values the history Of his race
and the sacrifices which have purchased
his liberties"
The measure OF man Is to q great
extent what he sees through the west
ern window. OF course, it is fatal to
abundant and abounding life to spend
ones life roaming about that vast ex-
panse seen from the western window.
AS the afternoon sun Of our own brief
day sinks lower and lower and, perhaps,
shows already the bright shoots of
twilight. the insidious temptation is to
spend ones time almost exclusively at
that window, gazing out with pensive
and nostalgia mood. It Is tragic when
one becomes so enamored with the past
that he sees history enveloped with q
halo and glory it never had even in the
so-called good old times"
Life Is through when one refuses to
be budged from the old rocking chair

at the western window, signing for the
good old days. Well has 1t been said:
"At best, the past is guidepoSt, but
never hitching post" The western
windows contribution to the present is
suggested by the indispensable little
mirror before the eye Of driver In an
automobile. And what is that mirror
for? It is there to give quick glimpse
Of the road behind, in order that one
may navigate in safety the road that
lies ahead.
That brings us to the other one Of
where we really live. the eastern win
dow. In one Of his best known poems
Longfellow has glorious sentence
about the children who come trailing
clouds Of glory. Declaring that they
are better than all the ballads that ever
were said or sung. he says: "They open
the eastern window that looks toward
the sum-" That is the window Of the
dawning day-that is the window Of
hope-the window Of beginning again
the window Of great expectations.
Sometimes some radiant figure
stands at that window in the history of
the race. For untold millions, st.
Francis Of Assist has q special niche in
the temple Of religious reality because
that 18th century monk opened the
eastern window which o formal religion
had largely covered with q mantle Of
thick darkness. History labels that
period the Dark Age.
Nothing lovelier about the eastern
window has ever been written than the
moving and memorable words Of G.
K. Chesterton: while 1t was yet twi-
light figure appeared. silently and
suddenly, on q little hill above the
city-dark against the fading darkness.
