Among the big powers Of the
world today. India probably
comes closer than any other
to espousing a policy Of peace
at any price.
Her method of keeping the
peace is to act as q bridge
between the Soviet bloc and
the United States-led free
world. She tries to keep the
two titans talking in the hope
they won't resort to heavy
fighting. A big war would
inevitably involve India and
destroy her dream of economic
development.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru believes that the best
way to insure peace is to use
India's influence as the worlds
second most populous country
to lead a "third-force" group
of neighbor nations-Burma,
Indonesia, Ceylon and Paki-
stan. BY increasing the pres
tige of this neutral bloc he
hopes to capture for India a
balance of power between the
other two much more power.

There would, of course, be

More important in the long

With the Pakistanis it is a
matter Of religion. Pakistan

Islam is basically incompatible

naturally brings her into alli-

a modest $40 million a year in

Pakistan signed a military aid
agreement with the United
States.
Prime Minister Nehru set
up a howl Of protest. He said
the act was a military threat
to India. But his real worry
was that Pakistan's move jeop-
ardized his chances of seizing
the balance Of power between
East and West.

follow Pakistan's lead into the
Western camp rather than to
join India's neutralism.
That is why the recent news
that Pakistan's Prime Minister,
Mohammed Ali, was to visit
the United States threw a
new fright into Mr.. Nehru. If
Mr.. Ali were to come away
from Washington with an at
tractive American promise Of
increased economic aid, this
might persuade Burma. Ceylon
and Indonesia to take the same
cue.

Uncle Sam Finds Self on Both Sides
Of the District RedeveIopment Case

Uncle Sam is in the curious
position of being on both sides
Of the District redevelopment
case just argued before the
Supreme Court.
On the one hand. the Gov
ernment supports a lower
court ruling that the Redevel-
opment Act of 1945 is consti-
tutional. On the other hand,
1t attacks the limitations inn
posed by the lower court on
the scope of redevelopment.
The limitations were inn
posed by q three-judge tri-
bunal in an opinion last Mo-
vember.
The challenge to the prin-
ciple of redevelopment is the
first to reach the Supreme
Court and any ruling that it
is unconstitutional would have
widespread national effects.
Some 80 State legislatures
have adopted redevelopment
programs, 20 Of which have
been upheld by the highest
State courts.
Heart Of the challenge is the
contention that a public
agency cannot seize property
from one private owner. re-
develop it and turn it over to
another private owner. The
legal question before the court
Is whether such seizure-vau-

A Monetary Dilemma
Prestige of Carrying Hearings on TV
Costs One Network $75, 900 Day
By Harry Macarthur

One Of the major television
networks may have made q
mistake last week. Both
could be right, Of course. The
two rode off in opposite di-
rections. however, when the
TV cameras were allowed in
the Senate caucus room to
cover the investigation Of
Senator McCarthy's private
war with the Army.
AS you hardly need to be
told, the National Broadcast
ing Co. telecast the hearings.
At the Columbia Broadcast
ing System. the decision was
in favor of business as usual,
even if it meant pumping Ar
thur Godfrey into a virtual
viewing vacuum.
The high level decision
was not an easy one to make at
either of the two networks.
On one hand was the fact that
televising these hearings is a
public service expected by al
most all members Of the
available viewing audience.
On the other hand, to televise
them requires the pre-empting
of some nice, fat commercial
time.
$150,000 Poorer
Both NBC and CHS are
practically sold out during the
daytime hours when the hear
ings are in progress. In a late
hour move last week, NBC de-
cided to join CHS in CONNER
cial competition. This week,
unless some minds are changed
again, it will resume its regu-
lar schedule an dcover the
hearings by kinescope-recorded
highlights from 11:15 pm. to
midight. The fact remains that
it is approximately $150,000
poorer right now for carrying
them last week. CHS, by not
carrying the hearings, is ap-
proximately $150,000 richer
than it would have been.
The American Broadcasting
Co. and DuMont probably
found their decision to televise
the subcommittee sessions
easier to make. Not so over
burdened commercially during
the daytime hours, there were
