World Economic Problems

The top financial authorities of the free
world, meeting in Washington now for the
ninth annual session of the World Bank
and the International Monetary Fund, have
reason to look with reasonable satisfaction
at the efforts of these organizations to
counter some of the inevitable economic
dislocations resulting from the great war
of 193945. The degree of their success
has not been spectacular, perhaps, but it
has at least been steady and solid. And
while their job is by no means completed,
the record demonstrated by the two agencies
proves the soundness of the thinking which
went into their founding at the Breton
Woods conference of 1914.
It is the function of the Bank to handle
long-term credit and investment problems
to supply working funds for projects that
appear to have constructive potential in
the national economies and thus genuine
value to the world economy as whole. The
Fund was intended to help stabilize foreign
exchange, to minimize internal financial
crises where a member nation with baSi-
cally sound economic structure may be
temporarily behind in its trade balances.
AS far as the Banks activities are con-
cerned it has had a record year in its
volume of loans. Furthermore, President
Eugene R. Black pointed out in his report
to the delegates two pleasing facts: That
an increasing amount of the funds chan
neling through the Bank were raised from
private investment sources rather than from
capital subscribed by member governments,
and that nations other than the United
States had provided large part of the
currencies loaned and had bought about
so per cent of the bonds issued. At the same
time, Mr.. Black-speaking like a cautious
banker-warned against tendencies toward
excessive borrowing, overeager lending and
misinvestment" arising out of the scramble
for world markets.
AS for the related concern of the Bank
and the Fund-an approach toward freer
convertibility of currencies-it appears now
that no major stepFwill be taken in the
near future. A preliminary conference on
this matter took place in London in July
and further talks have been held here dur
ing the past week. The British pound ster-
ling is key factor in this problem but both
government and industry in Britain are
displaying some reluctance to move more
swiftly toward free convertibility. The eco
nomic trends and the political develop
ments of the next six months, here and
abroad, may have great bearing on whether
this goal will come appreciably closer this
winter.

Our Airport Problem

On September your editorial,
Growing Congestion at the Airport"
called for break in the deadlock over
an auxiliary air terminal. Editorials
in the same vein have appeared many
times in the recent past. No progress
is ever reported in selecting one OF
these three solutions. Are these three
proposals Burke, Andrews and Friend
ship the only solutions worth pursu.
ing? Would helicopter shuttle serv-
ice to Friendship make that an accept
able solution or is there much more
direct solution to the problem? The
Star in it's position of leadership in this
community would do great service If
it would initiate a search for some
acceptable alternative solution which
would break the present deadlock.
A direct attack should be made on
the basic limitation: That of how many
planes can safely use any one airport.
Your editorial reports that 40 opera
tions per hour is the present maximum.

Big, dramatic campaign promises to
reverse the doings of the administration
in Congress these past two years do
not take into account this baf1ing abil-
ity of the President to walk off with
the honors when the goal is COM
promise.
Partisan politicians who favor q rigid,
black-and-white insistence on things
sometimes criticize the Presidents ap-
parent lack of decisiveneSs on some
issues. But decisive or not, Mr.. Eisen-
hover doesn't make many people mad,
or put himself out on many limbs he
can't climb back from. And this does
make it easier for him to reach agree
ment with his opponents.
Nothing could better equip him for
dealing with the Democratic Congress
he may conceivably have to face in
January.
And nothing, of course, could be
more frustrating for Democrats eager
to hit the campaign trail for 1856.

France and London

The success or failure of the nine-power
conference opening tomorrow In London will
depend primarily on whether or not the
French government is prepared to make
hrm commitments in a new interallied
agreement to grant full sovereignty to the
West Germans and promptly rearm them
as equal partners in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
This conference is convening, of course,
only because Of the defeat Of the European
Defense Community by the National AS
sembly in Paris-a defeat that has made
the London meeting an urgent undertaking
in which Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Italy, West Germany, France,
Britain, Canada and the United States will
engage in kind of salvaging operation
aimed at finding a second-best substitute
for the EDO.
AS proposed by British Foreign Secretary
Eden, such a substitute would be worked
out as follows: CD The 1948 Brussels mu-
tual-defense pact-made up at present of
Britain, France and the Benelux countries
would be enlarged to include Italy and
West Germany; (2) the free Germans of
Chancellor Adenauer's Bonn republic would
simultaneously become sovereign members
of the NATO alliance; and (3) they would
rearm as such, on an equal footing and
subject only to NATOs controls, in suff1-
substantial contribution to the common
defense of the Atlantic community.
All members of NATOs highest council,
including the French representatives, have
long been agreed that contribution of
this kind is indispensable to the security
of free Europe. That is why the Edo
which would have met the need while at
the same. time establishing firm guarantees
against reSurgent German militarism-was
worked out on Frances initiative. But now
that project is dead, killed off by rela-
lively narrow majority (heavily weighted
with CommuniSts) of the Assembly in Paris.
AS result, the London conference must
succeed in devising some adequate substi-
tute along the lines advocated by MIR. Eden,
or the Atlantic alliance-deprived of West
GermanyS participation - may we'll fall
apart in the relatively near future.
The French position regarding all this
has not yet been clearly defined. Although
Premier Mendes-France seems to have
agreed in principle with the Eden formula,
he has made vague public references to
conditions that could have the effect of
sharply discriminating against the West
Germans and indefinitely delaying their
rearmament at a time when their equal
and sovereign partnership in NATO is vital
to free Europe's safety.
It is predictable, certainly, that Secre-
tary of State Dulles and the other London
conferees will not accept any such condi-
finnS hn hot
Mendes-France will have something much
more affirmative to offer. If he does not,
then the impending meeting is likely to end
in failure that will be tantamount to
big victory for the Kremlin.

Juvenile Court Delay

Congress, in its concern over juvenile
delinquency, should give sympathetic con-
sideration to the plea of Juvenile Court
Judge Cockrill for a more adequate staff
OF social workers and other aides. Compe-
tent observers have agreed that one source
Of public irritation might be removed if the
court had a larger staff. The irritant is
the delay in acting on pending cases.
Judge Cockrill, in asking a dozen addi-
tional workers for the next fiscal year,
pointed out that the present staff is so
overburdened that prompt administration
OF justice is rendered exceedingly difficult.
Because of the serious overload" she said,
"the processing of cases for court hearings
Is delayed and the hearings lose much of
their effectiveness and meaning, especially
In juvenile cases. Also, children are fire.
quently involved in new difficulties before
the court has had an opportunity to act
officially" The police repeatedly have COM
planned, in fact, that they have to arrest
juvenile delinquents time after time, al
though expeditions court action might have
kept the youths out of trouble, protected
the public and saved the police the extra
work of rearresting the defendants.
The District Law Enforcement Coun-
ellis Committee on Juvenile Crime studied
the delay problem and decided that two
factors were involved One was the small
ness of the staff of social workers assigned
to prepare cases for hearing. The other
was what the committee felt was a tend
ency on the part of the social workers to
spend too much time in trying to adjust
cases before bringing them into court. Con-
gress can and ought to correct the first
shortcoming. The second defect is one
which Judge Cockrill can and ought to
attend to, without further advice from the
Law Enforcement Council or any one else.

Good Radiance

The self-censorship movement begun
by the comic-book industry is a welcome,
although belated, concession to rising public
indignation over an uncomical trend toward
sadism and crime glorification in the trash
Ter publications. Most of the country's pub
fishers of the little picture magazines have
Joined in organizing the Comics Magazine,
Association of America and in hiring a
"czar" to administer a stiff code Of ethics

F. Murphy, leader in the fight against
juvenile delinquency, is to be the code ad-
ministrator. The choice should prove to be
happy one.

sadistic comics from members magazines

Military Censorship Checkrein

There is sound advice for future mill
tary censorS in the all-services manual just
prepared at the Pentagon. The stress laid
on avoiding "cover-up" censorship designed
to protect errant, inefficient or incompetent
commanding officers is particularly justi-
fed. Newspaper correspondents almost
without exception have run into that sort
of improper and aggravating censorship in
past wars. Usually the fault lay with un-
trained censors in the field or with their
shortSighted immediate superiors. It is
small comfort to a victim of such unjustif1ed
censorship to have the mistakes straight
ened out days or weeks later at head
quarters.
The new manual specifically warns
against blue -penciling of "so-called policy"
or other material which the censor may feel
would have a bad reaction among civilians
at home. Also banned is the elimination
of matter which may criticize or expose
blunderS, waste or general incompetence.
The sole basis for censorship, it is stated, is
military security. Of course, some censors
and some commanders may stretch "secu-
rity" to cover multitude of things, as has
been done in the past. But the Defense De-
partment has made it plain that those who
abuse the powers of censorship in the field
in wartime will be held strictly accountable.
The new manual should be listed as required
reading for all commanders, not just for
those assigned to censorship duties.

"As the child is important, so
are the books he reads" according
to r. M. Eyman, state director OF
education. Mr.. Eyman also added
that adult Ohioans are participat-
ing in what is known as the read
ing certificate plan. 1t is joint
project of the State Library and
Ohio's public libraries. The plan is
this. In order to qualify for read
ing certificate the individual reads
"a books from his local public Ii
brary. Various lists suggest read
ing possibilities in almost all fields
of literature. There is no time limit
the books may be read as slowly
or as fast as the person desires.
When the "a books have been read
the librarian sends the name of the
reader to the State Library in Co
lumbus. The reading certificate is
signed by Walter Brahm, State LIZ
brarian and Mr.. Eyman, Chairman
of the State Library Board. 1t is
then returned to the local hbrar-
ian for her signature.
Mr.. Brahm said that some forty
reading certificates weer returned
to the Marietta Public Library
just last week. They will be pre-
sented during Book Week.
The Ohio reading certificate
plan has gone across the sea too.
Last summer three Finnish people
qualified for reading certificates
as patrons of the Grandview
Heights Public Library. The father
was a visiting professor at Ohio
State University. While on that as
signment, his wife and two chill
dren read the required "a books
and Ohio's reading certificates are
now in home in Finland.
Both Brahm and Eyman feel
that reading is important at all
age levels. Between the schools
and Ohio's public Libraries year
round emphasis is given to getting
people and books together.

reading certificate plan, see your

Check Home Wires
To Prevent Fires

Mr.. Charles r. Scott, State Fire
Marshal asks you to be careful
with electricity. The misuse of
electricity and faulty electrical
equipment caused 3,117 fires with
a monetary loss of $3,618.266 last
year in Ohio.
If you will take a few simple
precautions, to guard against the
conditions that cause these fires,
this needless waste can be stopped
or greatly reduced.
Make certain that you use no
fuses of larger capacity than are
designed for your electric service.
Light circuits wired with No. IA
wire should be fused with Is amp.
fuses. Light circuits wired with
No. II wire may be fused with 20
amp. fuses. When a fuse is blown
disconnect the light or appliance
responsible, then replace the blown
fuse with one of proper size. If
the light or appliance is not over
loading the circuit, then it should
be checked for defects and repair
ed by a competent repairman be-
fore it is placed into service.
Overloaded electrical circuits
are dangerous. The average wall
receptacle is made TO take two
~ cords. Don't ever run more
cords from wall boxes with the
aid of multiple sockets as this
may overload the circuits. If you
must use additional cords have an
electrician install additional wall
receDtacleS.

Save Meat Dollar
By Seasonal Buys

Buy meat when it's cheap -
eat when it's dear. That's how to
save meat dollars.
Easier toi say than do? Not at
all.
According to the November is
sue of Household magazine, meat
supplies are as seasonal as fresh
fruits and vegetables. When the
supply is largest is the time to
buy, freeze the meat, and have it
on hand to eat when prices jump
upward"

For example, few hogs come on
the market in the hot summer
months, said the home-service
magazine, so pork is scarcest and
most expensive at that time.
The best time to freeze and
store pork is usually in late fall
or early winter November
through January. Hog marketings
are at their peak, and so dressed
pork prices are then lowest.
For the same reason, low-grade
beef - the kind you buy for good
hamburger - sells lowest in Octo-
ber and November, while choice
high-grade beef - for steaks and
roasts - is most plentiful and
cheapest in May, June, and July.
Most lambs are born in the
spring and are ready for market
in the fall. Therefore, October
through December Is your best
time to buy lamb.
If you want stewing hens, Aug
ust and September are your best
bet. But if you're interested in
fryers, you'll find them most plen-
tiful earlier in the summer, June
and July.
The moral is clear. Get to know
when various meats and poultry
are lin season" Time your buying
for your home freezer with the
period of largest supply, and save
from 25 to so cents out of every
dollar you spend for meat.
