More Police Patrols

Having proved the effectiveness Of in
creased foot patrols, Police Chief Murray is
justified in asking funds with which to en-
able h i'm to~pu more patrolmen on the
streets in such troublesome areas as the Sec
ond precinct. In his estimates for the next
fiscal year, he has renewed his plea for an
increase in authorized strength to $500
men. This is the figure recommended by the
Washington Criminal Justice Association.
1t is based on the nationally approved ratio
of policemen to population in large cities.
The authorized strength of the Metro
politan Police Department now is 2,278 men.
The force actually is 81 under this strength,
but % of this number are on military leave.
The remaining vacancies are being filled by
men working overtime. Chief Murray would
like to have 222 additional privates and "a
more school-crossing guards. He believes
most of these officers can be recruited under
a high school graduates recruiting and
training system The remaining vacancies
would be filled by overtime assignments.
Whether or not Congress appropriates funds
for as many extra men as the chief desires,
there is sound logic in raising the author
lied strength of the department, as long
range goal.

This and That

first pride themselves on their tough
ness.
Sleep, they chortle, is utterly un-
necessary.
Look how full of pep they are!
But nature laughs at them in the
long run. She reduces their stamina,
so that the first wandering germ that
strikes them sets up housekeeping,
and then they are in for it.
IF their stamina is one-fourth what
they think it is. they survive, and ever
thereafter they have nothing to say
about going without sleep.
1T is much the same with the sea-
sons. They are here, and there is not
much we can do about them. We have
to accept them. Some run from one
end of the country to the other, trying
to flee from them, but it is Of no use.
''The seasons are with us. and even
the atom bomb disturbances so far have
not altered them. When atomic waste,
a mounting problem, becomes an open
menace, as it is now very much COW
cred up one, unknown to most persons,
then the seasons may be changed, to
our undoing
Until that time arrives, let us re-
joice with the seasons. not try to run
away from them. Above all. let us
recognize the ebb tide in the garden
as something desirable It really helps
to put US into step with the universe.
Yours sincerely, H. D."

Realistically Wise Decision

Senator Knowlands decision to post
pone the reconvening of the Senate until
after the elections was doubtless influenced
by the nature of the report to be made by
the Watkins committee on its Mccarthy
investigation. He may be presumed to know
more about that than the public will know
until Monday, when the report itself will be
released.
But any full-hedged Senate debate on
the report would be better after than before
the elections. Had the Senate been recalled
next week, as SORE Senators anticipated,
the debate and the vote that concluded it
would have put every Senator on some
thing of spot, the temperature of which,
for Senators campaigning now for re-
election, would increase with the proximity
of election day. No matter when the debate
takes place, it will be favored of course, by
purely political considerations. But these
will be less pressing after the election than
before.
There are other reasons for postpone
ment, including the important fact that
Senator Mccarthy must be given ample
time for preparation of his own case-to be
shaped by the investigating committees
report. All in all, Senator KnoWland's de-
cision is wise one.

The plan of the Foreign Operations
Administration to assist Pakistan, Turkey
and Iran in the development of commercial
aviation within those countries sounds like
a logical and worthwhile undertaking. On
the basis of preliminary studies already
made by American aviation experts, the
FOA will enlist teams of airline specialists
in the United States to supervise the train
ing of nationals of the three friendly
countries. All aspects Of management and
operations will be involved
Although each of these countries al
ready has civil aviation system, expansion
and greater efficiency are highly desirable.
AS relatively underdeveloped countries,
communications systems-rail, road and air
have not yet been brought to the point of
service needed. The FOA plan in this regard
Is to direct its attention entirely to domestic
air service within the countries themselves
or at most within their geographical regions,
rather than to any grandiose international
operation. AS one basis for pointing up the
relative advantage in developing the air
transport systems, a spokesman for FOA
estimated that the establishment OF added
rail facilities would cost about 100000 per
mile, of highway facilities about $25,OOO
per mile and of airline service only about
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile.
It is a fact, of course, and one worth
remembering in these times, that WELL
organized civil aviation systems have great
defense value as well as commercial worth.
In World War II military air transport,
operated largely by the American forces,

Warning to SpoiIs Seekers

President Eisenhowers firm warning
to Government personnel administrators
against any type of political clearance for
jobs in the civil service system is timely and
to the point. 1t was natural, during the
early days of changeover in administra-
tionS, that some misunderstanding as to
employment policies should have occurred,
leading to charges of "spoils." There no
longer is any excuse for mistakes" of this
sort, however. Yet there have been several
disturbing incidents in recent months indi-
eating that some OF the patronage dis
pensers had not yet gotten the word. Not
long ago even a presidential aide issued a
political-clearan directive for certain Jobs
that are not subject to patronage at all.
The President lost no time in canceling it,
Now General Eisenhower has taken
steps to make certain that every one in the
Federal establishment having any authority
In the field of personnel selection and hiring
Is thoroughly indoctrinated in merit-SyStem
policy. His statement reviews all phases of
Federal personnel recruitment and appoint
ment under competitive civil service rules
and procedures - and for each class of
employees the ban on political clearance is
stressed.
In summation, the President makes
this strong pronouncement: 1T is the policy
of the administration that the career
service will be protected and strengthened
against political pressures Any action on
the part of any person which is contrary to
this policy is potential embarrassment to
the President and opens him personally to
the criticism that he is playing politics with
the civil service" There is implicit In this
language a warning to politicians outside
the departments, as well as to partisans
within, to keep hands off the merit ranks
And there can be no doubt that the Presi-
dent means exactly that.

This philosophical disquisition takes
away our fire.
There is not much to say, except
to point to the chrysanthemums.
And why not?
What flowers are prettier, in their
way, coming into glorious color at the
very time when other flowers have
gone to sleep?
The NUNS show natures largeness,
her supreme ability to bring something
out of nothing, and make us like it.
Those who go along with nature, as
this correspondent so eloquently points
out, are the happiest people.
This going along does not necessarily
mean killing things. so often regarded
as the sum and substance Of the nature
lover.
The gun and the rod. alone. do not
make a friend of nature.
The busy doctor at his desk, stealing
a few seconds to watch redbird out
side his window. is a nature lover. The
housewife, busiest Of all. standing at
her kitchen sink, hears the mocking-
bird at the window demanding raisins.
She, too, is friend Of nature.
To welcome natures changes. what
ever ones personal reactions Of like
or dislike, and to find something inter-
esting in them. is to touch the stars
with one hand and the good earth
with the other. In this way we can
all be acrobats.

Dear Sir:
Some years ago you wrote an ar
ticle on low tide in the garden, mean
ing this time of year.
ut happens to be time of the year
like particularly. There is something
i'll the air, guess it is just autumn.
which manages to hang on to bit OF
summer at the same time it looks for
ward to winter.
Il believe we are all becoming OF
two minds Some of us are summer
minded. others winter minded. We
tend to like one season over another,
lament that we must endure the sea-
son we do not like, rejoice when we
have enough of the one we do.
''This sort of seasonal thinking is
too much with us. Soon or late, it
lays waste our powers. as the poet said.
We would all do better to accept. rather
than reject
Actually, many OF us thus reject
half of our lives, just as some of our
juniors for time disdain sleeping.
Sleeping, they say, is waste of
time.
THE fact that millions Of persons
have indulged in sleep from way back
before the days when mankind lived
in caves means little to them.
They have little experience, and do
not yet know that sleep is, part OF
the plan.
They stay up late. and later. and at
