QUEMOY AND MATSU

1t now seems that we will defend the is
lands of QuemOy and Matsu as we'll as For
mOsa and the PeScadOres. Secretary Dulles
implied in his recent foreign policy speech
that we will defend the Off-shOre Chinese is
lands if the Reds attempt to seize them as
springbOards for an attack on FOrmOsa.
This is only logical. If we are to defend
FOrmOsa and the PescadOres we cannot af-
ford to allow the strategic approaches to
them to fall into the hands of potential enc
mics. That wouldn't make sense and might
appear to the Chinese Reds to be an invita-
tion to attack
We are pushing policy in Asia of ac-
cepting calculated risks now in the hope
that greater future danger can be avoided
By making our position clear we have elm
mated the possibility of an attack launched
by the Reds in the hope that it would not
mean getting into a serious fight.
No attempt must be made to make the
present danger seem less than it is. A war
could come. But in the past the Communists
have shown that they respect strength and
certainly there is no record of an instance
when they desisted from aggression after
the other side showed weakness.

RAILROAD PROGRESS

Six Of the nations leading railroads have
decided to pool their experimental facilities
for study of new, high-speed passenger
equipment.
The cooperating lines are the Pennsyl-
vania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the New York Central, the
New Haven and the Santa Fe. The various
lines will purchase and test new equipment
and share information on engineering and
economic results as we'll as on passenger re-
action to the Innovations
In recent years the transportation indus
try has become highly competitive and there
have been signs that railroads have been
falling behind. Forward looking railroad
men have been making a determined effort
to reverse the trend. They know that only
by offering passengers more for their money
can they hope to compete.
The results of the plan of the six partic-
ipating lines should mean improved service
for passengers. Long range results may
bring the answer to the question of what role
railroads will play in our future Officials
of the six lines are displaying vision and
faith in the sOundness of their Industry.

FINE FOR LITTERING

How severe should be the penalties
against ittering the streets or sidewalks
In New York City the Sanitation Commits
siOner suggests fines of from $40 to S25.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner wonder if these
rates might not be too steep, leading the
magistrates to let viOlatOrS off rather than
assess them so heavily.
Some people feel that no penalty can be
too severe for crime In 18th century Eng
land and before then the death penalty was
invoked for Offenses as minor as sheep-steal-
ing and trespass on private game preserves.
The result was that juries refused to con-
vict, in protest against the undue severity of
these penalties.
There is also a tendency on the part of
some governments to make the enforcement
Of some laws pay for itself. That theory un-
derlies the stiff fines which some cOmmuni-
ties impose on traffic offenders. Ethically
this idea is quite unsOund.
In the case of throwing trash in public
places, our cities and towns will have to
adopt policy of trial and error, to see what
amount of fine is sufficiently deterrent with
out being unreasOnably large 1t is a real
problem. Unless a solution is found, much
business may be driven away from muni-
cipalties which choose too harsh methods
This can injure many persons.

WHY PROCRASTINATE?

Leaders OF DOCn pOlltlcal parties plan to
hold next years nominating conventions la
ter than usual. They have discovered how
ever that election rules which prevail. in
certain states will make this difficult. Be-
lated attempts to get the necessary changes
made in time seem unlikely to succeed.
This leads to an interesting question.
Why must such matters be postponed until
the last moment? Had the present difficulty
been anticipated year ago the changes
could have been made with little difficulty.
Certain reforms keep getting postponed.
Every election year there is talk of the need
to revise the electoral college system States
where no provision is made for absentee bal
lOting discover that many of their citizens
are being deprived of the franchise, some
of them because they are off serving their
country. Yet nothing can be done about these
things in the days just before the election.
The time for action is in the calm period that
follows
We all know the old story of the man who
couldn't mend his leaking roof while it was
raining and thought it didn't need mending
when the rain stopped. Faults in our cleo
ton methods do not disappear when an cleo
tiOn is over. They remain to plague us in
the future for our lack of foresight.

Myrtle's arrest resulted from

BUFFALO. N. Y, Aug. 4 R.-
Three armed men ambushed a
Drinks armored car, shot a
guard and made OF with $780,
900 in race track receipts last
night. Two were. captured after
a gun battle. The loot was re-
covered.
The bandits, wearing silk
stocking masks and armed with
a submachine gun, broke into
the Drinks. Inc, garage and
vault before the car arrived. It
was carrying almost $498. 600
in receipts from the Fort Erie
race track. just across the Nj
agara River in Canada. Three
Drinks employees were on the
truck.
Two Of the bandits were cap
tured a half hour later after an
lubbock running gun battle
down the narrow streets of Buff
falo's densely populated lower
West Side. The third was being
sought today.

but before I could fire a shot

Mr.. Clohessy was reported in

The seized bandits were iden-
titled by police as Anthony
Pettinato, 80, of Baltimore, Md,
and Sylvester Mazella Of the

An alarm was sent out for

Rosenberg Case Figure
BoIks at Red Query

The treasurer of the National
Committee to Secure Justice in
the Rosenberg Case today re-
fused to say whether she has
ever been a member of the Com
munist Party.
But Mrs. Emily Altman, now a
farmers wife in Englishtown,
N. j.. testified freely before the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities about her work for
the Rosenberg group and its A.
nances.
She was the first of more than
a dozen witnesses alleged to have
participated in activities for the
Rosenbergs to acknowledge such
PARTICIPATION under oath.
The House committee has been
looking into the extent of influ-
ence the Communist Party
exerted in establishment and
operation of committees on be-
half of Julius and Ethel Rosen-
berg, who were executed as
atomic spies in June. 1858, and
for MortonSobell, who was sem
fenced to 80 years imprisonment
for espionage.
Went Through 100000
Mrs. Altman said the Rosen-
berg committee collected and
spent about $780, 900 in the 1851
1858 period and that she handled
most Of these funds. She de-
clined on grounds of the First
and Fifth Amendments to iden-
tify other paid workers for the
committee, but volunteered that
the information was available
in the groups check books.
She asserted that about 9 pei
cent of the funds taken in was

recommendation from his COM
pany commander praising his
work and devotion to duty over
a six-month period.
He even took a lie detector test
at his own request and the re-.
suits, according to Mr.. Watts
report, were favorable.
The findings of the examining.
field board were that the subject
had been a member of the
Jewish Peoples Fraternal Order
but was not member of the,
American Youth for Democracy
since be was only Is years old
at the time he attended AYD
meetings. &
Retained Conditionally
Yet, the soldiers retention in
service was on specially con-
trolled" basis which restricted
him from sensitive jobs and in
his opinion was short Of com

ton under which it was issued.

interviews with lawyers and their
clients from coast to coast.
An Army allegation in one
case. described as still pending, .
was that the draftee had a father
who Is reported to have said
that If communism offered any
thing good he would accept it"
Mr.. Watts said, however, that
was only one Of many allegations
and the only one the lawyer in
question would make available
He said in many of the cases
the soldier gets quasi-clearance
through a general discharge
under honorable conditions"
But, he pointed out, such a
discharge has imprinted upon it
"SR 600-220-l applies" This is
the regulation pertaining to Sc
curity, and amy personnel man
knows it," said Mr.. Watts. Con-
a youth with such a
discharge has little chance of
getting employment. he added.
Cites Draftee's Case
He cited 1.-THE fantastic fact of
eight jobs in three months for
one draftee separated under the
security program.
One of the cases being brought
to the Army's attention is Mr..
Watts Case No. 27.'
The youth acknowledged on
his loyalty certificate that in a
period about five years before
he was indicted he attended
meetings of the American Youth
for Democracy and the Jewish
Young Fraternalists.
The Jewish organization as
he named it was not listed on
the loyalty form as subversive.
And he attended the AYD meet
ing before the Attorney Cen
erals list Of subverSive organiza-
tions was in existence.
