La Prenso's S Revival

One of the most gratifying conse-
quences of the downfall Of Juan Peron's
dictatorship is the fact that La Prensa
apparently will now be able to speak
again with free and powerful voice in
Argentina.
It was back in March of 1851, after
q long period Of harassment, that La
Prensa-then recognized as one Of the
worlds outstanding newspapers-was
confiscated by Peron and handed over to
his General Confederation OF Labor. With
DR.. Gainza Paz, It's owner, driven into
exile, it was thereafter published as a
propaganda organ Of the Argentine die
tator. This was It's fate, as Is always the
case with the free press In any country
falling victim to despotism, because 1t had
stood for objectiyity. truth, individual
liberty and all the other good forces that
tyrants must suppress to survive.
But in this instance, happily, the
tyrant has passed from the scene, and
La Prensa. its freedom revived, is to be
run again by DR.. GainZa Paz. There
could be no better token of the earnest
ness of Provisional President Aramburu's
determination to restore the full demo-
cratic process to Argentina.

Government Hard Core

The nine men and one woman chosen
by the National Civil Service League for
its first annual Career Service Awards are
key members of the Federal Governments
vast organization of civil servants. They
are typical of the faithful and efficient
employees who, working generally with
anonymity, have elected to make career
of public service. It is appropriate that
they should be given special recognition
for important jobs well done.
Too often the vital roles played by
such SubordinateS as the league has
honored are lost sight of by the public
in acclaiming outstanding departmental
achievements The citations accompany
ing the awards make 1t clear that at least
some of these achievements might not
have been recorded but for the devoted,
tireless and intelligent services OF the
careerists. These are the men and women
who form the permanent hard core" Of
the Federal establishment, a core that
remains virtually unchanged from one
administration to another and without
which new administration would be lost.
It is pleasure to join with the
National Civil Service League in saluting
these fine exemplarS of career Govern
ment service: u E. Baughman, chief Of
the Secret Service: Don S. Burrows, con-
troller, Atomic Energy Commission; Sam
uel E. Sapirie. Acc operations manager
at Oak Ridge, Tennessee: Lester Jay
Conkling, supervisory chemical engineer,
Edgewood Arsenal; Roger w. Jones, as

director of records management, National
Archives; Andrew Barr, chief accountant,
division Of corporation finance, Securities
and Exchange Commission; Samuel A.
Block, supervisory analytical statistician.
Railroad Retirement Board, and Miss
Edna NJ. Adkins, administrative oficer,
Chief of Statf's ONCE, Air Force Depart
ment. They and their fellow careerists
merit public remembrance and esteem on

Command Decision

Referring to recent letters
published in The Star per-
tanning to President Eisen-
hower's decision whether or
not to be a candidate for
another term in the White
House, I would like to add my
approval to what has been
said relative TO Mr.. Eisenhower
being wise enough and good
enough to make the proper
decision on this important
question.
l might also say that ]
think the President is going
20 make the decision without
being influenced to. any great
extent by those who are trying
to give every excuse in the
world why he should not be
a candidate to succeed him
self. Some Of those excuses
containing sympathetic tones
for Mr.. Eisenhower could well
be for the purpose Of infiu-
encing him not to accept the
nomination, In order that some
candidate Of the opposing
party might have q chance Of
being elected President, since
1t appears certain that Ike win
be elected II he decides to
run.
Although our President Is
definitely not an egotistical
man. 1t is quite certain that
he realizes that he Is the CEN
tral figure In q worldwide
movement to bring about
peace and good win among all
nations. and this movement
Is close to his heart and soul.
So ! feel confident that he is
giving due consideration to all
circumstances and conditions.
including his health, personal
feelings, and the welfare Of
the Nation at large, and will
come up with a wise decision
sometime within the near
future.
For myself. ! hope he can
and win see his way clear to
spend another four years in
the White House. May the
Lord bless our President in
this difiicult task of making
the right decision and guide
him in paths Of usefulness
during coming years. whatever
his decision may be in regard
to being his party's next
nominee.

Speaking of Hypocrisy

a week or so ago, aItef ne nau maze
some mendacious anti-Western remarks
in India, Soviet Premier Bulganin was de-
Scribed as thoroughly hypocritical" by
spokesman for the British Foreign ONCE.
And now, apparently because of having
spoken out much too bluntly to please
his diplomatic superiors, the spokesman
a veteran official named Peter Matthews
has been removed from his usual job
Of dealing with the press. However, even
though he has thus suffered rebuke Of
sorts, he has not retracted his original
statement, nor is he likely to be asked
to do so.
The reason for this is that such a
retraction would in itself be kind of
hypocritical act, especially in view of the
additional remarks that have just been
addressed to the Indians by Marshal
Bulganin The substance Of these remarks
is that the Western powers have not
abandoned "colonialiSm" but still are
trying to push the Asians from the path
of independence into preparations for a
new war. On the other hand, by way of
contrast, the Soviet Union-deeply SYM
pathetic to all these lands that "have
long suffered under the yokes of for
eignerS"-iS striving by day and night,
always and forever. to bring about peace,
freedom and self-rule for everybody.
Further, with show of righteous indig-
nation, the Russian Premier has let it
be known that the Kremlin regards Por-
tugal's ancient control of Goa in India as
shame to a civilized people"-a State
ment which many Goan, not to mention
the Portuguese, must regard as the nadir
Of something or other
Hypocrisy-"the homage that vice
pays to virtue"-is defined as the practice
Of feigning to be what one is not, or
falsely assuming an appearance Of good
ness while uttering lot of cant. Does
this not At the men of the Kremlin when
they prate about freedom and shed croco-
ollie tears over countries that have long
suffered under the yokes of foreigners?
The answer is self-evident Wherever the
Soviet Union has spread its dominance,
there liberty has died, and there the peo-
pie suffer under the most terrible yoke
ever devised. Certainly, we have only to
think to what has happened to the once
independent Baltic states and the Euro
pean satellite lands to appreciate how
proper and accurate was the blunt
language of Peter Matthews.

LowIess Strike Ends

One clear lesson emerges from the
settlement of the strike at the Perfect
Circle piston foundry in New Castle.
Indiana. This lesson is that lawless strike
activity can be curbed If State authorities
really want to curb 1t.
The strike began on July rs when a
CIO- JAW union called out its members.
Trouble developed and local court is
sued an injunction limiting pickets to Ave
at a time. The injunction was ignored
and police finally arrested SIS picketS, 35
OF whom were fired by the company. The
plant then reopened and on October 5
mob of 5000 demonstrators" converged
on approximately 100 nonstrikers inside
the foundry. Shooting began When 1t
was over five demonstrators and three
nonstrikers had been wounded.
State police removed the nonstrikers
under guard. the plant was closed and
Governor Craig sent in the National
Guard to maintain order. A union
spokesman said Il think we have ac-
complished what we wanted to do. The
pant is dor.il If the city fathers permit
these scabs to come back with shoSguns,
then we'll come back
But neither the Governor nor the
city fatherS-much to their .credit--Were
willing to bow to mob rule masquerading
as union activity On October IL the
plant, under Guard protection, was re-
opened Things were relatively quiet

saucers and the like. lots Of
folks report seeing queer
things.
Some Of the queerest. ac-
cording to an account in the
British scientific journal
Nature, have just been report
ed by Brett Hilder. New South
Wales sea captain, to the Brit
ish Adrniralt8 weather service.
Once last ear on eastern
New Guinea. Hilder reports, he
saw "a loom 0f light On the
horizon extending over an arc
Of is degrees. It was bright
over some submerged reefs.
Then it shifted. but still IN the
direction of the reefs. The
light was a brilliant line along
the horizon. It showed on the
radar screen like a rain squall
and covered an area about two
miles square.
May Be From Sea Animals
ut lay in lines and patches
like sand banks. Two miles
from the reefs we passed
through one patch. The light
appeared as If coming from
a depth Of about 80 feet"
Six months later, Hilder says
he witnessed much the same
phenomenon of Guadalcanal.
There were a lot Of oval patches
of light. about so feet long. and
the illumination was quite
bright. II appeared as If the
source was a few fathoms be-
meath the surface. This phe-
nomenon showed some traces
on the radar screen. but it dis
appeared as soon as the radar
apparatus was switched Of.
It is possible. he points out.
that the curious luminescence
may be that of sea animals
which are stimulated by radar
in some way. There have been
previous accounts of such ami.
mails stimulated by reverbera-
tions Of a ships engines.
Hilder also reports seeing at
sea "phosphorescent wheels
rays of light radiating from q
point and rotating clockwise
or anti-clockwise over an area
of five miles or more. The
rays are curved and a few
feet wide. They suggest the
rays that radiate from north
ern lights. The wheels travel
over the water at a speed Of
about 100 miles an hour"
There is a possibility, Hilder
suggests, that these luminous
appearances may be associated
in some way with a disturb
ance in the earth's magnetism.

Move q Landmark?

There seems to be one main
question about the fate Of that
old Union Fire House that the
international Monetary Fund
wants to tear down to accom-
modate a new. l3-story Office
building at Nineteenth and H
streets NV. That is: Is the
ancient structure important
enough as a national shrine
Of any sort to preserve?
If it is, perhaps that sugges-
ton of building around 1t
should be amended q little. to
accommodate moving the old
structure q little to the side
and building not only around
it, but over 1t as well. and
letting it become q historic
feature of the modern building.
But If 1t is only of impor-
tance as q local token Of a
virile and colorful past. why
couldn't it be moved TO one
the the established public
parks? The soil underneath
does not seem Of half the
Importance Of the building.
except they have an indivisible
unity linked with the national
character.

until after the Guard patrols were with
drawn on November Is. Then the violence
began again. Windows were smashed and
shotgun blasts were fired into the homes
of nonstrikers Governor Craig's response
was firm. On November "a the Guard
was sent back to New Castle, and on
November %, with both sides making
some concessions, the strike was settled.
The lesson, to repeat. is clear. Be
cause the Indiana authorities refused to
be intimidated. nonstrikers were pro-
tected and the strike has been settled.
1t is not pleasant to reflect on what might
have happened had the authorities bowed
to threats and violence.

.cIoHficotion

! should like to comment
briefly on the recent meeting
Of the District Auditorium
Commission and clarity the
position Of the American In
stitute Of Architects.
Mr.. Balaban proposed that
the commission set UP D pro-
fessional advisory board to
study and make recommended
tions on the site and design
Of the auditorium. Further
more, he submitted the names
Of several outstanding Arms
Of architects and engineers to
be represented on this advisory
board.
My understanding Of the
proposal which has since
been confirmed BY others pres
ent at the time--was that this
board Is to be charged prin-
Cipally with making studies OF
the requirements for the site
and the building. The initial
activities ofethe board will In
evitably be restricted to pro-
gramming.
The appointment Of q pro-
fessional committee for this
purpose is exactly In line with
what was proposed by the in
stitute earlier In q letter to
each commission member. so
therefore / was gratified to
see Mr.. Balaban's suggestions
adopted.
The institute also had pro-
posed that the design Of the
building be the subject Of q
national open competition.
However, such q competition
cannot be considered until the
actual program for the build
ing has been drawn UP by the
advisory board and approved
by the Auditorium Commis-
sion. I. therefore, felt 1t was
premature to take up the mat
ter Of design at this stage.
At the appropriate time the
institute will pursue Its efforts
to have the design commission
awarded on the basis. Of open
competition.
