Hurricane "Didne"

Hurricane Diane now is
a threat to the mainland, re-
ports indicate. This hurricane
is the fourth cyclonic disturb
ance and the second full
blown hurricane for the year.
It passed lis miles south Of
Bermuda yesterday and winds

The gales drove a British

passing may have the unfortunate effect
Of reyiying the old feuding forces Of In
ternal division. Needless to say, such q
revival could be baneful in the extreme,
particularly at q moment when the
Cyprus issue (which looms large In Greek
domestic politics) Is poisoning relations
between the Greeks on one hand and the
Turks and British on the other.
It must be hoped, however, that the
example set by Premier Papagos win con-
tinue to give sound guidance to his
country In the weeks and months ahead
and that his past counsel against reckless
partisanship win keep on serving as q
moderating force In any event, the
goodness OF this man has been effectively
summed up by Cayendish Cannon, our
Ambassador to Athens: AS soldier he
commanded Greek armies In the most
desperate and glorious hours -. As q
statesman he set Greece well along the
road to stability and prosperity, and his
broad vision Of international problems
and the complete integrity or his personal
character won him the worlds respect
and admiration. His loss Is one In which
we all share"

Unfair to Nh. Nixon

There Is more than meets the eye,
one suspects, in the announcement that
Mr.. Nixon has gone to Denver "at the
Presidents request"
This elaboration is In the same spirit,
and must be intended to serve the same
purpose, as the letter Mr.. Eisenhower
signed Monday night expressing the
"hope" that the Vice President would
continue to preside over meetings of the
Security Council and the cabinet during
the Presidents absence from the Capital.
The purpose obviously is to give Mr.
Nixon some relief from kind OF whisper
ing campaign Of criticism. The substance
Of the criticism has been that Mr.. Nixon
has been trying, during the Presidents
illness, to improve his own political for
tunes: that he has sought to capitalize
on the unfortunate circumstances which
have thrust him into the limelight.
There has been nothing to justify
this sort of comment. Mr. Nixon has
done the things that his office requires,
and he has done them with restraint
and dignity. 1t is shame that he has
been subjected to this kind OF attack,
and it Is also shame that the President,
despite his illness, has had to combat it.

The Youngest Merchants

This Is Newspaperboy Day, SO pro-
claimed by the Commissioners and by
State Governors and suitably recognized
by President Eisenhower and other high
officials. 1t is the one day in the year
that the public is asked to pay tribute to
the youngest class of merchants in the
country" as the District proclamation
put it. There are several hundred thou
sand Of these small-business men in the
United States. They compose a group
OF youthful goods citizens from which
many of the community leaders OF to-
morrow will emerge, judging by the past.
The young man who delivers daily
newspaper Is demonstrating qualities of
individual initiative, business acumen.
thrift and responsibility that will stand
him In good stead In the workaday
world that lies ahead. His importance in
the field Of Journalism is not to be I'M
derestimated, either. He is vital part
OF an organization which keeps the COM
munity informed of news developments
of the day. The Star is proud of its
newspaperboys and joins with the public
generally in honoring all of their pro-
fession for faithful performance Of
valuable service.

Full Use Of Rodor

Radar has proved its usefulness in
helping police to curb speeding and thus
reduce serious accidents on the public
highways. Thus radar is serving not only
as an ef1icient detective but reliable wit
ness in court. It Is surprising and dis
turbing, therefore, to learn that the cleo
tronic device is not being used, to its full
est capacity on Federal parkways In the
Washington area.
Park police suspended employing ra-
dar evidence in the prosecution Of
speeders after question was raised last
summer about the validity Of such evil
dence in Federal proceedings. II was
pointed out that there Is no Federal reg
ulation authorizing introduction Of radar
findings In speeding cases. For the past
six weeks Park Police have been issuing
only courtesy" warnings based on radar
evidence of violations. But experience
has shown that warnings are not enough
to restrain reckless and other irrespon-
sible drivers from imperiling their own
lives and the lives of others Whatever
steps are necessary to permit use Of radar
evidence in arresting and penalizing
those who hout the rules and laws Of
safety should be taken at the earliest mo-
nent by Federal authorities.

Desecroted Great Plaza

The Fine Arts Commission is thor
oughly justified In protesting the dis
graceful commercialization, with Gov
eminent consent, of what is known in
planning circles as the Great Plaza. :"
This Federal land back of the District
Building was originally set aside by Fed
eral planners for broad, Handicapped
park, surrounded by Government build
ingS and serving as a setting for the
StrauS Memorial Fountain. It was SO
laid out on charts of the Federal Triangle
development after World War II. But
for nearly two decades this park-to-be
has been used as "blighted outdoor
garage" to use the Fine Arts Commits
Sion's apt description. This temporary"
disagreement of the plaza has become SO
permanent that 1t win take lot of
pressure to restore the land to its planned
purpose. The Fine Arts Commission has
launched fight for the Great Plaza that
deserves wholehearted public support.
A picture in The Star showed the sad
fate that has befallen the Great Plaza
project over the years. Instead of grass
and shrubbery and walks, the tract has
become vast parking lot for hundreds
OF automobiles, with noise, fumes, neon
signs and all the other nonparklike
characteristics of an outdoor garage"
This commercial use of public property
is permitted under a fve-year lease
granted to a parking Arm. The arrange
ment has two advantages, 1t is true. The
Government collects more than $4,000
month In rent from the concessionaire
and convenient parking space is provided
for lot of automobiles. But are these
two practical considerations to be perm

of a shameful dissertation Of its own

Death Of Popoqos

As far as its modern history Is con-
cerned, Greece has lost one of its greatest
leaders in the death Of Premier Alexander
Papagos. This was the man who headed
the heroic forces that smashed the Ital-
ian Fascist invasion Of 1910 and next put
down the postwar Communicated rebel
lion in which Stains Kremlin almost
succeeded in dragging the Greeks behind
the Iron Curtain. He was also the man
the soldier-statesman--wllo restored po-
litical stability to his country at time
when 1t seemed to be falling apart as
result Of factional feuding and parlia-
mentary disarray.
II Premier Marshal Papagos had been
In good health in recent months, the
course Of Greek affairs might have been
different And now that he is dead,
rather unexpectedly, there is more than
"a little reason to worry about the posi-
s.bility Of a political crisis in Athens. The
government will not be the same without
him, nor will it be so steady. For he was
q commanding figure, and although he
lacked warmth as personality, although
his formal and austere military view
point left little room for celebrating DEM
ocratic excuses, he was immensely popu-
lar among his countrymen, and deeply
respected by them as national hero
dedicated to the principles Of ordered
freedom. Nobody else in the postwar
period since the 1949 defeat
aof the communists match him as

Disgrace in indiana

New Castles Mayor Paul +. McCor-
mack has done the right thing in an
nouncing his willingness to permit the
Perfect Circle foundry to reopen Monday.
This struck plant was the scene OF
riot earlier In the week when 5000
demonstrators, !" rounded up throughout
Indiana and Kentucky, converged mem
acingly on 100 workers in the foundry.
Eight people were shot and the plant
was closed down by the authorities
Manifestly, the closing of the plant,
once order had been restored, was unjust,
since it merely served to play the game
of the CIO-UAW union. 1t should be
reopened and kept open.
Let's keep the pertinent facts In
mind. One fact is that this labor dis
pute hinges on whether the company
should bargain with the union in New
Castle alone, or, whether two additional
plants In other towns should be included.
In other words, the dispute concerns a
question of representation. The proper
way to settle that. under the law, is
through the National Labor Relations
Board.
Another fact is that an Indiana
court has issued an injunction limiting
pickets at the plant to Ave. The dem
onstrators" have fiouted this court decree.
For the Mayor to have kept the plant
closed would have been to condone their
lawlessness.
Another fact is that the National Guard
has restored order in New Castle. It is
perfectly capable Of maintaining order.
To be sure, a union spokesman has said
that he does not control the members
and that he cannot guarantee that there
will not be another demonstration"
II the plant opens The short answer
to this is that 1t is not up to him to
control these mobsters. That is the job
of the Indiana authorities, and they
ought to use whatever force is necessary
to do it,
Liberty Is being suppressed in New
Castle-the liberty Of business to OPP
crate and the liberty of Its employees to
60 to their jobs. This has been done by
mob action in the name Of unionism
It is strange that there has not been
national surge of protest. Where are
those whose hearts bleed so readily when
other assaults on liberty are made? Does
the fact that union Is involved irr this
case really make any difference?

Segregation Views

After reading Mrs. Clyde q.
Miller's letter, I have restudied
both the Bible and the ConSti-
tuition in connection with her
statements on segregation.
In connection with the Bible.
/ must admit that I learned
of Jesus preaching segregation,
but not segregation by race or
color. Throughout the Gospel,
He segregates people by their
faith and by their deeds. The
matter of segregation by faith
] win leave for now to the
ologians. His preaching con-
corning segregation by deeds is
very clear on the matter under
discussion. Let all those any
where. who. in their hearts
want to maintain segregated
schools. segregated parks, seq
regated churches, ETC., who
want to keep any persons in
the status Of second-class citi-
zens, read st. Matthew 25: 81

selves as the sheep or the goats
Of that parable. Then let them

in his quest for the California
delegation. Senator Knowland
very properly can be Q candi-

go after the delegates himself.
It is not clear yet how the
forces win line up. There Is
no question, however, Of the

and its Importance to
Knight, Knowiand or Nixon II
any one Of them becomes q

One thing seems likely. The
more nearly President Eisen-
hover approaches complete re-
covery from his illness and
he is making amazing prog
ress-the closer mouthed will
become other potential nomi-
nees. Gov. Knights mistake
was showing his hand so early

have a hard time getting away.
His declaration he wants Els

bly, hope the lightning will
strike them. Occasionally it
has, as In the case Of Senator
Warren G. Harding Of Ohio
who. when the Republican Ma
tional Convention opened In
1920. could claim little more
than being Ohio's favorite-son.
Case Of Hartman
Take the case OF Ayerell
Hartman in the Democratic
National Convention Of 1852.
He was q favorite SON Of New
York's delegation. But he could
not understand. it is reported.
why the other delegations did
not take him more seriously.
Next year Gov. Hartman VIII
have the New York delegation
with him again. but it win be
as q full-fledged candidate.
And Gov. Knight. II he gets
the California delegation. viii
in all probability figure he is
q serious contender for the
presidential nomination.
CALIFORNIA; delegation to
the Republican National Con-
vention Of 1852 was pledged to
the then Gov. Earl Warren.
now Chief Justice. Warren
made no effort to fool anyone
with q request he be Califor-
MAS favorite-son candidate.
He campaigned for delegates
in other States. He was always
a potential winner, II the con-
vention deadlocked over Taft
and Eisenhower.
The Knight episode. up to
date, has done Nixon no harm.
and appears to have done
knight no good.
