Here are the views expressed

must force prisoners to attend

On the Beam
The observation on the works
plan in the Presidential mes
sage came actually in a Sec
ton on suffrage for the Dis
trict. Here Mr.. Eisenhower
was squarely on the beam.
Putting first things first. he
said "the time is long over
due" for granting national
suffrage to District residents
and also applying the prin-
ciple of local self-government
to the Nations Capital" He
was interrupted in this rec
ommendation by applause.
The Board of Trade and
other groups traditionally have
taken the position that there
can be no real home rule in
Washington until after it's
citizens have been granted the
national franchise. Home-rule
supporters dispute this, how
ever.
Only other reference to the
District in the message was an
early mention of progress in
eliminating segregation here.
The next step in this field
probably will be an effort by
the Commissioners to- elimi-
nate segregation in the Fire
Department. Commissioner
Sam Spencer has said he ex-
poets to accomplish this within
a matter of months. DisSident
firemen, however. have prom
iSed a hot fight in which they
hope to involve Southern

Crime

TN A WEEK when the ad-
L ministration was making
its biggest headlines in many
a month, one Of its subordi-
nate Offices was making some
lmpromptu news of its own.
Just as the new year was
coming in at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, an
employe of. the sprawling. 34,-
acre plant was going out
with $160,000 in brand-new
$40 bills.
The theft was discovered
last Monday when a worker
hefted a package Of new money
and noticed that 1t was lighter
than usual. Broken open, two
parcels disgorged not $3.50, 900
in $40 bills, but precisely SO, 900
in scrap paper.
Next day, Virginia State
police recovered the bulk of
the stolen money on a Vir-
ginia farm and turned it over
to the Secret Service. A 90
year-old Negro bureau employe
named James Landis was ar
rested. So was his wife. The
tipoff (and the money! came
in from Lands father-in-la
Also arrested. were a troupe
of alleged accomplices who,
Secret Service men say. went
on "a spending spree. changing
$20s right and left. In the
four days before the case was
broken, some $4,000 vanished.
According to the tipster,
Irving Grant. Lands gave him
a box of money and told him
to bury it.
BY this week end, the case
seemed to be wrapped up from
the Secret Services point of
view. But In spite of the sup
posed solution, the Treasury
Department was plenty en-
barrassed. Letting somebody
get away with an inside job
like this seemed to be a heck
of a way to curb imitation.

Korea

The fate Of the Panmunjom
meetings rested on the out
come Of delicate, indirect. ne
gotiations the State Depart
ment said were being carried
out last week.
Earlier meetings ended when
the Reds accused the United
States Of 'perfidy" and Ameri-
can Envoy Arthur H. Dean
stomped out. He vowed never
to return unless the Commu-
nists apologized.
Last week informal dis
cuSsions" through "interme-
diaries" were being held with
the Chinese Reds. The State
Department said the Commu-
nists had offered to strike Of
Tending charges from the
record. If-as the State Depart
ment indicated-that would
serve as an apology, the meet
ings might be resumed.
But even a resumption prob
ably would mean just some
more of the same old stalemate.
This was indicated last week
by Red Chinese radio broad
casts that repeated all the
original Communist demands
at Panmunjom.

Metropolitan Scene
President Wasn't Specific Enough

It would have been nice if
President Eisenhower could
have indicated a little more
plainly in his State-of- the
Union message his support of
increased Federal participa-
ton in the big public works
program.
Instead he urged Congress
to revise District revenue
measures to provide needed
public works improvements"
Now this could be inter-
preted. unfortunately, to sug-
gest that any public improve
ment be financed only out of,
District tax increases. Actu-
ally, however, the amount of
Federal payment will be
fixed" in a legislative au-
thoriZation as an integral part
Of the revenue revision. So
there is no doubt that the
President included it in his
thinking. especially since the
Budget Bureau, acting for the
administration, has played a
major role in working out and
approving the joint financing
OF the program.
Only on Authorization
The new taxes, however. be-
come effective when the legis.
lative routine has been COM
pleted. The Federal payment
increase remains only an au-
thorization which may or may
not be honored by the House
Appropriations Committee.
1t is for this reason that
Mr.. Eisenhower could have
helped a lot more if he had
spelled out the joint obliga-
ton of Uncle Sam and the
city for the works plan. House

Chairman Taber, opposing as
he does even the current $12

CINcE EARLY LAST yea

CNCE EARLY LAST year
~ many Republican leaders
have worried about the dam
age done to party solidarity
by Senator McCarthy's clashes
with other Republicans. Con-
gressional elections are COM
ing up and the Republican
Party is hanging on to control
Of House and Senate by its
thumbs. These facts make
intraparty harmony now es-
pecially important.
SO. repeated hints have been
dropped to Senator Mccarthy
to work out on Democrats and
Communists instead of Re-
publicans. The hints have been
about as effective as spitballs
in a tank battle-and for much
the same reason.
At first. success seemed in
sight when the gentleman
from Wisconsin showed
G. o. P. chiefs an advance
copy Of his television reply"
to former President Truman
in November. But when they
tuned in that night. they
heard a different script-one
that. in effect. challenged
President Eisenhower's lead
ership.

ance. Peck's bad boy was a
good boy again. He showed a
copy to the party chiefs-but
couldn't resist changing the
text just q little. This time. he
tossed in a paragraph urging
his fans to write the White
House and demand adoption
of the Mccarthy policy on
trade with Red China.
Two Versions
There are two versions OF
the next development. Accord
ing to Vice President Nixon.

tor Mccarthy he was harming
his party and bluntly ordered
him to lay of. The Vice Pres

Incidentally, did you know
that the 100,000th prisoner
number was handed out at
District Jail the day before
Christmas?
The institution has a num-
bering system begun July /,
1887. Once a man is admitted.
he is given a number. If he
gets out and is returned again.
he gets the same number.

some other member of the

Wisconsin State q. o. p. lead
erS came to Washington and
advised Mccarthy that his free
wheeling tactics were hurting
Republicans in the home State.
But any one who thought he
had Joe Mccarthy backed into
a corner was dead wrong. Last
week the Senator in giving his
version denied that any one
had tried to shush him. He
simply said he would go on
just as he had in the past.
His next investigation, how
ever. will be one into ineffi-
cheney in Alaska. he said, not
communism.
Congressman at Work
At about this stage, legisla-
tors tackled the problem of
keeping Senator Mccarthy in
hand:
. Senator Mundt, an expert
enced Republican Red hunter
from South Dakota. suggested
that the special Senate In
ternal Security Subcommittee
Of Indiana's Bill Jenner get the
permanent assignment Of in
vestigating communism for the
Senate. That, Of course. would
shrink the role Of the Mccarthy
investigating subcommittee.
. Senate Majority Leader
Knowland of California and
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan indicated they
would seek some way of ending
competition among committees
for Communist hunting laurelS.
. Democratic Senator Ellen
der of Louisiana said he would
try to cut McCarthy's COM
mittee of at the pockets.
Senator Mcclellan of Arkansas
suggested a joint House-Senate
un-American activities probe
which might, of course. also
eliminate Representative Velde
Of Illinois as a gadfly.
But by this week end, Joe
Mccarthy was putting his
critics on the defensive.
He decided to ask. that his
committees annual spending

$300.000). And what's more.
