Oregon's Gifts to Nation

Now that the Juror has subsidized over
the White House squirrel incident.
calmer judgments should assess some Of
the more important aspects Of this
affair.
Dwarfing all other considerations Is
the obvious fact that new champion
Of the underprivilege has arisen In
our midst, stalwart fighter who will do
battle with the evil forces of big

have no regard for the, rights of the
weak and dependent.
This champion Is Senator Richard

astounding intellectual brilliance thid-
den behind modest and self -ehacing
exterior) has already shaken official
Washington to- the core. In concert
with Senator Morse, his reticent and
close-mouthed colleague. Senator Neu-
berger has long since set the Senate on
q new course of high idealism and ded-
ication, rescuing it from better than q
century and half of concern with dull
and petty topics. Senators Neuberger
and Morse have made the Senate what

Why Not Keep GA Here9

Now that tug Of war Is developing
between Virginia and Maryland over the
future home Of the Central Intelligence
Agency, question naturally arises as to
why it is necessary to move the agency to
either State Why not keep the CHA right
here In Washington, at the seat Of Govern
ment, where 1t really belongs?
II atomic-era dispersal were factor
In choosing new location, the CHA would
not, Of course, be considering site near
Langley, in nearby Fairfax County, Virginia.
Langley is well within the target area Of
an atomic or hydrogen bomb aimed at
washington. Apparently the main purpose
Of a move is to bring the scattered divisions
Of the agency under one roof. for more eff
Client administration and improved security.
That is desirable objective.
While residents of the Langley Mclean
area have voiced their disapproval Of CHA
as neighbor, county officials have been
cooperating in the CHA studies Of the Lang
ley site. The county's attitude is generally
cordial, provided the Federal Government
aids in supplying access roads, water and
sewerage for such large development.
Meanwhile, Senator Butler, always on the
alert to promote the interests of Maryland,
has asked CHA Director Allen Dulles to con-
slider building the new CHA headquarters
In Maryland. Certainly Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties should not be ignored
II some suburban site is to be selected.
But the more sensible course would be
to emulate other sensitive" agencies that
have decided to remain in the District. The
CHA undoubtedly would be welcomed to re-
developed Southwest Washington, a part OF
which is planned as a Federal Office center.
1t has been said that the Office Of De-
tense Mobilization would oppose the moving
Of any sensitive Federal agency to Southwest
Washington, because Of the threat Of nu-
clear attack on the Capital. But such
policy presumably also would apply to a
move to any site as close to Washington as
Langley. It would be illogical to bar CHA
from the Southwest while authorizing it to
set up shop just across the Potomac River.

Joseph Pulitzer

Joseph Pulitzer, who died In st. Louis
Wednesday night at the age of 10, may have
lacked the spark OF genius Of his famous
father. He had other qualities, however,
perhaps more durable than genius, which
made him great in his own right, among
them stubborn perseverance, high dedi-
cation to the values which he associated
with newspaper work and certain modest
elf-effacement which commanded affection
as well as respect.
He was not the son whom his father
believed most likely to succeed, and the old
New York World, rather than the Post-Dis-
patch In St. Louis would have been chosen
by the elder Pulitzer as the newspaper that
would stand as the Pulitzer monument. But
1t was Joseph Pulitzer who carried on the
newspaper tradition of his father. The old
World is now dim memory, and 1t is the
Post Dispatch which lived on, prospered and
became distinguished symbol Of American
Journalism at It's best.
Mr.. Pulitzer has left the Post Dispatch
better newspaper than 1t was when he
joined its star as young man nearly so
years ago. The paper was his life, and Its
success his consuming ambition. He had
definite convictions regarding his role as q
newspaperman, and he made them his guide
In conducting the affairs Of the Post-Dis-
patch. His sense Of public responsibility
and public service, his close attention to the
details Of newspaper publication and his
jealous regard for ideals that have become
legends on his paper gave him high place
In the world Of Journalism. There is moth
ing which would have pleased him more
than to feel that newspapermen everywhere
regard his death Is loss to their craft. !.

Asking Too Much

Chairman Celler OF the House Judiciary
subcommittee investigating wire tapping
has announced his determination to learn
more about the overlapping activities Of
the Federal Bureau Of Investigation. He said
he was dissatisfied with testimony on that
subject by Warren Olney III, assistant at
torney general, who asserted that taps were
made only with the specific approval Of the
Attorney General and that at no time had
more than 200 taps been in operation
throughout the United States and its posses
sions. Mr.. Celler was quoted as warning that
II the Department Of Justice "does not i'm
part to us frankly all its wire-tap operations"
the subcommittee would get the data from
"other sources"
It is not known what other sources could
provide the subcommittee with authoritative
information on FIJI wire-tap operations.
But Mr.. Olney made 1t plain that to give
information in detail about FBI wire-tap-
ping operations would be against the inter-
ests Of national security. The FBI, under
authority of number of Attorneys General,
has tapped the telephones OF suspected spies,
Saboteurs and kidnapers. It is permitted to
do this by existing law, but cannot use
evidence obtained from such taps in pros
ecuting such public enemies. This is ridic-
ulous restriction that Mr.. Celler, among
others, has declared should be lifted by
legislation. It is hard to reconcile Mr.. Celler's
sponsorship OF such legislation as far back
as 1910 with his avowed determination to
force disclosure by the Department of Justice
of "al its wire-tap operations" He is asking
for more than can wisely be given.

NeeIy's Togo Showing?

Could 1t be possible that Senator Nicely
Of West Virginia has been reading
Roman history recently and taking it
seriously? Is the Senator, by any
chance, confused and under the inn
preston that he is member Of the
Roman Senate rather than the Senate

son feels duty bound to attack and

Shock and Memorial

0ttGSA 0ttu tNtStttQtt0t
I find myself In full agreement with
the remarks in the letter published In
The Star. March %. regarding the
disreputable shack that stands in front
Of the District Building.
But I differ with the writer, Angus
Sinclair. about the supporters Of the
shack and those who recently cSm-
paigned to have another disreputable
building taken down from the site Of
the LIST Division Monument. In fact.
I cannot remember that a single pro-
ponent Of the shack helped in the
removal of the barracks.
You see. the monument to the list
Division is q memorial TO the battle
dead In World War I. Not just a
monument which says 1t is to the dead.
but monument that bears the names
Of more than 5000 battle dead, with
their rank and organization. We had
much help, because there is little
mawkish sentiment. among combat vet
Grams, and they could see the necessity
for removing an insulting structure.
There Is neither connection between
the two buildings. nor. between the
active supporters Of the removal Of
the building that came down and the
supporters of the building that dis
graces our District Building.

Objects 10 Atomic Tests

In my opinion, the experimental ex-
plosions of atomic and hydrogen bombs
are criminal because the military by
now certainly must have fully enough
knowledge to utilize them in warfare.
Vital natural resources and fantastic
sums Of money are used in these tests
and they are making enemies among
people we wish to be our friends. Also
the tests are contributing greatly to
hysteria at home. Every time an. ex-
plosion takes place terrible events occur
such as abnormal weather conditions,
floods. earthquakes. droughts. hurri-
canes. tornadoeS.

Reckless Democrats

his Democratic colleague, Senator Spark
man, has not gone so Gar as to accuse the
President Of being a member of the war
party" But he has gone q great deal far
ther than responsible Senator ought to 60.
In an address to the Senate. Mr.. Ke-
fauver peeked under the political bed and
found many frightening things there.
He discovered that "there are forces in
his 1.-THE Eisenhower administration so pow
erful and apparently so eager for war with
China that they are becoming almost i'm
possible to resist" He found that "there are
those In high places in the present admin
ming to bring such a war about, whatever
the risks involved" And he reached the
unacceptable" conclusion that "the present
war party is attempting to create a situation
and an atmosphere In which the President
would have no choice but to follow them"
Whether there is, or is not, "war
party" within the administration is matter
Of definition and opinion. Perhaps there
are those who believe, however, that 1t Is
a legitimate tactic In partisan maneuver to
broadcast the war party" accusation. But
II one who likes to be thought Of as a re-
sponsible Senator is going to associate him
self with this tactic, he should be willing
to put all his cards on the table. Senator
Kefauver should be willing to identity the
war-bound forces in the Eisenhower admin
istration which are so powerful that it is
almost impossible to resist them. He should
be willing to name those men In thigh
places" who are plotting and planning" to
bring war about. He should be willing to call
the roll Of the members Of the "war party"
who are trying to leave the President with
no choice except to follow them.
The Senator should also consider
whether he, like the plotters and schemers
he emissions, is not trying in his own turn
to force the Presidents Handspring to
create situation and an atmosphere In
which Mr.. Eisenhower would have no choice
except to submit to Communist attack on
Quemoy and the Matsus. In fairness to SEN
ator Kefauver, he, unlike Senator Sparkman,
was one Of 10 Senators who voted for the
Lehman amendment to the Formosa reso-
1ution-an amendment which would have
excluded Quemoy and the Matsus from those
related areas" which the President was
authorized to defend.
But all that Is water over the dam. The
Formosa authorization was overwhelmingly
granted in both House and Senate. It Is
an exceedingly dangerous business, at this
late hour, to be trying with propaganda
techniques to coerce the President on either
side Of the decision which he may have to
make No rational person can doubt that
the President is trying desperately to avoid
war. His task can only be made more diff
fcult by reckless speeches in the Senate and
by loose talk within his own administration.
