STRANGE Case

Police Chief Murray succinctly de-
scribed the disciplinary case of Private
Harold E, Jones as "the strangeSt . I
have experienced since I've been in the
department" Certainly there has been
peculiar behind-the scenes maneuvering
in behalf of this policeman, who faces not
only dismissal for drunkenness but trial
in court on two similar charges.
The public interest requires ~ that
Chief Murray establish whether there have
been any unauthorized and improper ac-
tivities in the much-postponed Jones case
by police officials has been reported
and (2) that there be no undue delay in
the trial of Policeman Jones in the Mu-
nicipal Court. It is reassuring to know
that Chief Murray is investigating the re-
ports Of unauthorized activities by sub
ordinate police official and that Chief
Judge Walsh of the Municipal Court has
moved to expedite trial of the criminal
charges. This Is case which should be
disposed of with no further delay.

Disarmament Question

The imminent underwater detOnation
of q small-yield "nuclear device" off the
west coast of the United States will be the
first test of its kind-in that location
ever carried out by the Atomic Energy
Commission. But there is nothing particu-
larly mysterious about it. On the contrary,
both the Acc and the Defense Depart
ment in their joint statement on the
experiment. have openly stated that it will
have to do with submarine warfare.
From this one may safely deduce, since
the explosion is to be beneath the surface
of the sea, that an atomic depth charge is
involved-a tactical instrument of defense
against attacking submarines. One may
safely deduce, also, that our country has
developed torpedoes fitted out with nuclear
warheads to deal with enemy surface YES

THIS Nd THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The Templeton Joneses were
very proud of their azaleas
this year, as were thousands
Of other t1ouseholders.
In the past 10 years these
fine plants have come into
their own in Washington and
environs.
The soft colorings add a
spring touch to any landscape.
Their comparative hardness
makes them good to have
around.
At one time only rich peo-
pie could afford azaleas. and
they liked to brag about how
much the bushes cost.
Since then almost every
body and his brother has
planted them, so that some
thing new literally has been
added to the local landscape
The camelia. now coming
into popularity here, is not as
hardy, but it adds a touch all
its own.
y 4 y
Templeton Jones plants are
named for the donors.
So there is a Ben and Mar
garet azalea, and so on.
Some of them, presented at
Christmas time. were kept
alive and thriving in the attic.
The temperature there was
just about right.
Sun in the afternoon kept
the leaves green. and with
sparse watering now ana then,
the gift plants came through
In good shape.
Set out in the spring, they
bloomed as If they had never
stood in the pot in the Jpneses'
living room.
4 y +
So there stand Ben and
Margaret and Sophy and
George.
Someday there will be
Wayne and Madge.
There is nothing about the
azalea to attract the atten-
ton of squirrels, which some
times strip the buds off the
cameliaS.
One rascal took all nine
buds from a small plant,
looked each over critically,
and dropped it to the ground.
Templeton Jones was an
cry at first. but he soon got
over it. having a naturally
sunny disposition.
There is no need and no Use
to be mad at the wild crea-
lures. They cannot help what
they do. ''The little lambs
play, they know no better"
said the poet. they are only
one times one"

Partnership Proqram'

I have just completed read
ing the article in The Star for
May II. entitled 1.-THE Part
nership Program -- Eisenhow-
er Presses Revolution in Pow
er," by Joseph A. Fox.
This is certainly an article
favoring those who prefer
complete public power through
out the country. am won-
dering if, as the editor Of a
newspaper, you would favor
the Government entering into
the newspaper field and oper-
ating in competition to all Of
the publications which are
private enterprises and which
depend upon subscribers for
their existence,
I am sure that if the Gov
ernment operated the news
papers that those purchasing
advertising would get it at a
cheaper rate; those subscrib-
ing to the individual publica-
tions would find reductions in
their subscription payments -
but I am also confident they
would find an increase in
their taxes to cover the cost
to the Government of operat-
ing such newspapers.

STANDARD Wage

On April 10 Mrs. Rosalie
Watkins, one Of three Southern
factory workers who Joined
with three labor union presi-
dents in support Of the mini
mum hourly wage of $1.25 an
hour, testified before a Senate
Labor Committee that her
present salary was $1.30 an
hour, but that was lust barely
living" with a sick husband
and seven others in a family
to support.
Personally, with that many
to support, at the present high
cost of living, brought about
by labor leaders constant de-
mand for higher wages, can
not see how Mrs. Watkins de-
pendents exist. However, she
should realize that her un-
fortunate predicament is no
basic ground for setting a
minimum wage for the Nation.
She should know that raising
wages is always, without ex-
ception, followed by a raise in
the cost of living.
The finest thing that could
happen TO 1870 of the work.

one that would settle once and
for all time this wage and cost

Among recent X-ray de-
velopments described by Dr..
Hilbish Is a new kind Of Pic
tnre developed by DR.. John
Roach, of Albany. and Dr.. Her
man Hilleboe, New York State
Health commissioner. An a1u-
minufn plate is coated chem
ieally and given an electrosta-
tic charge. It then is exposed
to radiation. The evenly dis
tributed static electricity Is dis
persed by the radiation in di-
rect proportion to the inten-
sity. which in turn is governed
by the density of the tissues
through which the radiation
comes. Then a fine powder is
busted on the charged plate.
The powder sticks In greatest
quantity to those areas carry
ing the greatest charge. Hence
an X-ray image is formed.
Color Pictures Feasible
X-ray pictures In color now
are attracting interest again,
DR.. Hilbish explains. Shortly
after the first World War, in
terest in colol radiogranhy was
stimulated by q French investi-
gator. Upon careful investi-
cation, however, the claims
proved to be somewhat of a
hoax and never were proved
to have practical application.
Now further claims have been
made from recent experiments,
most OF which have been con-
Quoted in Canada. Color radio
graphy should be useful both
as a teaching method and as q
means of increasing diagnostic
acumen."
Among the most notable re-
cent advances in X-ray tech
niques have been pictures of
the heart which have kept pace
with heart surgery and make it
possible to differentiate close
ly similar heart conditions, ac-
curate diagnosis of which is of

of them were not good to eat.
Coral Bell is the name Of
one of the favorite azaleas.
Then there is a white va

very large flowers in profu-
sion.
The red species have their

Care and fertilizing are not
too exact. but every one who
grows them should investigate
their real needs. Peat moss is
good to heap around them in
the fall, for winter protection;
the acid fertility they demand
is best given by a professional
fertilizer, made to their ex-
acting standards.

Some IS years ago, owners
of azaleas were inclined to
brag, and to indicate that they
were terribly expensive, and
very difficult To- grow.
Happily. those days are over.
This spring, some merchants
even gave away tiny plants
to all and sundry.
Children seraped Q slight
depression in the earth, then
put the little bushes. two or
three short stalks. into the
ground.
That, of course, is not the
way to plant them. The earth
should be prepared by digging
and pulverizing, down to a
depth Of at least a foot.
Then the roots should be
put in the hole, and earth
sifted around them. and gen.
tly packed down, keeping this
up to the surface, 50 that no
air is left around them.
Such minute plants should
receive the protection of a
wicket, and should be mound
ed in the fall with peat moss.
One OF the great beauties
Of the azaleas is that they do
not have to be four or i've
feet across to be wonderful.

It's Gettinq Late

One knows it is never too early to
begin, and that is the reason for the
strange sight in the living room these
days. Papers are strewn on the floor
around the easy chair, on the hassock and
on the lap Closer inspection reveals that
these are maps and travel folders. The
summer vacation is being planned.
Gay South America enchants the easy
chair traveller in this vacation planning
time One pictures ones self in rick
shaw in Hong Kong. touring the markets
of Calcutta, shooting with gun and camera
in darkest Africa. exploring the pyramids,
cruising the Mediterranean, loafing be-
meath coconut palm in Tahiti, or riding
the waves at Waikiki on a surfhoard.
More travel will be undertaken in the
living room during the next month than
could be crammed into ones own budget
or brief vacation time. It is pleasant,
nonetheless, to read that Bermuda has
much to offer and to look at the pictures
Of the beaches and sparkling white houses
and dream Of ones prowess on a bicycle.
1t is pleasant, too, to note from the travel
folders that Paris is still in France, giving
hope that it may still be there when one
finds the time and the money to make the
trip.
But one knows, too, that there is a
certain cottage in the Shenandoah Valley
which can be rented quite reasonably, and
that the mountains of Pennsylvania and
the beaches of the Eastern Shore are Just
a step away. When the time comes to
lock the doors, shut of the water and
notify the paper boy, one Of these last
mentioned places will be the destination.
But 1t Is pleasant, meantime, TO plan
broader travels from the easy chair, and
to envy those able 70 make such Journeys.

When H-Bombs Fall

The hydrogen bomb has been
declared capable OF destroy
ing everything within f1ve
miles of ground zero. That is
equal to the area of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Let us sup
pose that it is In the dead OF
winter-the Russians know the
military value Of :, Genefals
January and Febrpary-And
the middle of the night and
the D. c.. Civil Defence has
announced that an enemy will
attack us within two hours.
Let us suppose that this
authority has directed all able
bodied persons to march
toward the nearest District line
and seven miles beyond, where
points of rendezvous have been
established; that they stay off
the highways beyond the sub
urbs leaving them to vehicular
traffic; that the feeble. old and
and young, will be picked up
and transported there ; by
automotive vehicles.
The nighttime population
of the District Of Columbia is
about 100000. That will equal
about 100000 to each side of
the District of Columbia. The
population of the entire Metro
politan Area is about 2 million
and covers an area about 10
miles beyond the District of
Columbia. Seasoned combat
troops, with good discipline,
can march about three miles
an hour. Soft. undisciplined
civilians will do well to march
two miles an hour across coun-
try. Suppose ], a civilian, am
located near ground zero, near
the White House, and I start
Immediately on receiving the
news. In two hours I will have
marched four miles and have
yet eight miles to 60 to reach
a point of rendezvous. when
the enemy strikes the city I
and all Others within the Dis
trict of Columbia will. be killed
or badly injured. The rest,
beyond the five-mile radius,
will march on. and three hours
later will arrive at RENDEZVOUS
IL miles from ground zero.
Feeble, old and young, will
already have arrived there
from ground zero. II no
traffic jam develops, and
vehicles then will return for
more. When all the feeble
have been cared for, the
vehicles will begin to pick up
ularchers.
After evacuation has been
