Pentogon Network Relief

Harried motorists who daily struggle
with the conflicting currents Of the Panta-
gon road network will welcome the efforts
of Federal and District traffic experts to set
up system of directional control there.
The American Automobile Association de-
scribes the stretch between the Fourteenth
Street Bridge and the junction with u. S.
Route l as 'five -tenths of mile of con-
fusion" It is in this area that the several
streams of traffic heading south begin to
find their ways into the various channels
open to them Strangers to the network
have no time to pause and ponder. It is
every driver for himself.
The Bureau Of Public Roads and the
District Highway Department, after sur
veys, have decided to cooperate in cham
nelizing traffic by means of large illumi-
mated signs, starting on the District side
OF the bridge and continuing until the
turnoffs for u S. /, the Pentagon and other
points have been reached. This should
help to reduce the confusio1l and the acct
dent hazards. An additional Improvement
would be the widening OF the lanes where
they narrow at certain points especially
at that place where q brick building near
the Pentagon projects too close to south
bound traffic.

To say that these three polio fighters
deserve such recognition is but to put into
words feeling OF gratitude which multi
tudes of people inevitably must entertain
toward them. The Nobel fund never before
has rewarded any such effort against infan-
tile paralysis. That it has seized the first
good opportunity Of the kind afforded seems
plain. DR.. Enders and his aides may not

mendation implicit in the granting OF it.

Red Chino's Assurances

E Prime Minister NehrI of India, en- route
home from his visit to Peiping, has told a
press conference In Saigon that he had been
assured that the Communist Chinese gov
eminent does not wish to interfere In other
countries problems. IN SO reporting, Mr..
Nehru implied that he was accepting these
assurances as genuine. If so, one must
wonder how Mr.. Nehru reconcileS these
glibly spoken Communist assertions with
the record Of Red Chinese behavior else
where in Asia.
For quite aside from their open and
1arge-scale intervention in the Korean war,
the Communist Chinese have been ex-
tremely busy interfering in the internal
affairs of other Asiatic countries. It has
never even been disputed, for example, that
the Communicated Wet Mimi troops who
conquered so much Of Wet Nam were being
supplied constantly and in great quantity
from neighboring China Laos, Cambodia
and what is left of Wet Nam are inviting
targets for Communist conquest today and
it would be naive to consider the threat to
them as being disconnected from Red
China. The Free Thai" movement, dedi-
Gated to upsetting the present strongly anti
Communist government Of Thailand, is
headed by former Thai Prime Minister
Pridi Phanomyong generally considered
servant of Peiping Burma and Malaga
each have serious Communist problems
which are not wholly indigenous, partic
ularly in the case of the several thousand
armed Reds in Burma-another country
sharing frontier with China. And getting
closer to what India considers its own
sphere of influence" the Chinese inter-
ference In Tibet was clear and conclusive,
namely, military and political capture of
the country. There is reason to feel sure
that the Indian Prime Minister is greatly
concerned lest some Of the same fate befall
Nepal
Although Mr.. Nehru's visit to Peiping
was courtesy" return for stop in New
Delhi by Chinese Premier Chou En-lai, it
appears that one Of his top-priority pur-
poses was to seek these very assurances of
non interference and non aggression
against Red China's neighbors Fears Of
Peiping and it's intentions have been ex-
pressed in most of the smaller Asiatic nom
Communist capitals. If. Mr.. Nehru is to
succeed In establishing himself as leader of
neutralist Asiatic bloc it is necessary, Of
course, that he produce some evidence that
he can obtain guarantees or concessions Of
benefit to those following him. The Com
nunist assurances fall In this category but
whether they will prove Of any lasting value
Is highly questionable.

Britain S First Sea Lord

Appointment Of Admiral Earl Mount
batten to command the Royal Navy may
offset what is generally considered the in
justice Of his fathers forced resignation,
because Of German birth, from that post
early in World War I. At any rate, it is not
surprising that this should come to mind.
There are, however, more solid reasons
for entrusting to the youthful-looking
Mountbatten responsibility that is great
enough in the military services Of any first
class power, and is particularly so for
Britain. For Mountbatten, entirely apart
from his relationship to the royal family, is
sailor by profession and one Of distin-
guiShed competence. He was a lighting
commander in World War II. In the years
since, he has continued up the ladder In
naval operations, as well as serving in the
politico-diplomat field while Viceroy of
India.
Once the greatest sea power in the
world, Britain Is far behind the United
States today in naval strength and ranks
even below the Soviet Union. It is a Develop
ment that cannot be attributed to the iden-
tity of the First Sea Lord alone, of course,
but it is possible that the appointment OF
an officer Of Mountbatten's prestige may
earn for the Royal Navy greater attention
and consideration from the British govern
ment. The selection merits a well done!"

The Day in 1854

On each election day since November 2,
1920, when it first appeared, The Star has
been reprinting the black bordered, signed
editorial by the late Theodore w. Moves,
which is found on Page Of today's paper.
The statistics have been revised to date.
Fundamental comparisons between the
voteless District of Columbia and of voting
States with less population, remain for the
most part unchanged.
In the course of these "a years both of
the great political parties have incorporated
Endorsements in their platforms Of voting
rights for the people of Washington.
Former President Truman and President
Eisenhower have urged such rights in their
messages to Congress, and any new Presl-
dent to be elected in the future will UNI
doubtedly follow the same course. On each
election day the background of our own
policies as Nation, and trends throughout
the civilized world, bring into sharper focus
the disgraceful anomaly Of diSfranchiSed
citizens whose only disqualification as vot-
ers is the fact of residence in the American
Capital.
"You owe it to yourself, you owe it to
your country, you owe 1t to your children
to turn out and vote tomorrow" the Presi-
dent told the country last night. Every
election day sharpens the irony Of such
pleadings insofar as those who live in
Washington are concerned, and brings
nearer the time when the means to pay
this debt will be furnished them along with
the opportunity.

Why not put out books so that the

Tito1s Current Attitude

Probably the most CALLING setback SUI
fered by the Kremlin in the cold war period
was the detection in 1913 Of Yugoslavia's
Marshal Tito from the company Of Moscow,s
acquiescent followers and the Balkan co,lrl-
try's later rapprochement with the West.
This latter development reached high
point last summer with the signing Of
three-power military pact by which Yugo-
slavia joined with Greece and Turkey in
regional defense setup. The fact that the
latter two powers are members Of the NATo
brought Yugoslavia into an indirect rela-
tionship with that alliance. Meanwhile,
American economic and military aid has
been going to Tito's government on what
admittedly was the calculated risk" that
Yugoslavia would remain outside the Soviet
circle of satellites.
This may still prove to be the case but
there has been determined effort by the
Krenlin in recent weeks to WOO Tito away
from his Western associations. Further
more, there have been some signs that the
Yugoslav marshal is listening with interest
to these Soviet Establishments.
For example, late in September Tito
spoke critically of the NATO as an instru-
mentality engaged in "a political struggle
against communism" and a bloc in which
there could be no place for Yugoslavia. At
the same time he said that co-existence is
the solution Of the theological struggle and
that there could be no rightful objection to
the naturalization" Of Yugoslavia's reia-
lions with the U. S. s.. r. He did, however,
say again that his country would continue
to cooperate with the Atlantic pact coun-
tries in defense against aggression. In the
several weeks since, there have been highly
complimentary articles In the controlled
press of the two countries-Yugoslavia and
Russia-about each other.
It would be hasty, perhaps, from all Of
this to assume that Tito has decided to re-
turn to the Cominform. He has, of course,
never deviated from his personal ideology-
which he calls Socialist, but which could
just as correctly be called Communist. He
is, however, an individua]ist who did not
choose to become puppet of the Kremlin
or to have his country ruled in actuality by
Russians rather than by Yugoslavs. While
he might gain substantial concessions from
Moscow for his return to the fold, 1t is hard
to see how he could feel secure against the
same threats to himself and to his country
It would, of course, be serious blow to the
Western cause-most particularly to the Sc
curity of the Balkans and the eastern end
of the Mediterranean Sea-if Yugoslavia
should change sides now.
