Up to the President

Representative Broyhill is right. The
time has come for President Eisenhower
to step into the middle of the tunnel-or-
bridge controversy and settle it one way
or the other. It has become evident that
subordinates or advisory committees are
not going to resolve the dispute for him.
And Congress apparently is determined
to leave the question Squarely on the
White House doorstep.
After all, it was the administration,
not Congress, which brought about the
present stalemate on a Potomac River
central crossing. Congress thought it had
settled the bridge feud when it approved
construction of a bridge at Constitution
avenue. Funds for planning the struc-
ture were appropriated. Belatedly, how
ever, the Fine Arts Commission revived
the previously discarded tunnel idea and
soon the Interior Department joined in
promoting a tunnel instead of a bridge.
The reluctance of Congress to appropriate
any more money for the bridge, pending
a decision on the tunnel proposal, Is
understandable.
Mr.. Broyhill did not exaggerate when
he told the President in letter that it
was highly improbable" that Congress
would approve the extra cost of tunnel.
It has been estimated that the under
water passage would cost nearly $50 mil
lion more than the bridge planned by the
District Highway Department. Even If the
President should decide to recommend
this added expenditure from Federal
funds to satisfy the esthetic tastes of the
Interior Department and the Fine Arts
Commission, economy forces in Congress
undoubtedly would fight the plan. The
more realistic course would be to go ahead
with the authorized bridge and thus avoid
long-drawn-out battle, that is likely to
end in defeat of the tunnel plan at the
Capitol. The President is the proper per-
son to take the helm and start the bridge
program moving again.

of management responsibility a step for
ward, for which credit can be shared.
Significantly, perhaps, Ford spokeS-.
man talks of three years-the life of the
contract-as ample time for testing the
plan. Before any testing can be done,
not only other companies in the automo-
bile field but some in other industries are
going to be facing demands for contract
settlements comparable to that with Ford.
General Motors and the UAW are negoti-
ating now; Chrysler is next in line and
the smaller companies are standing by.
The cost factor is large one (Ford will
build up $55-million fund from which
to pay the layoff benef1ts) that may be
within reach Of some companies but could
spell serious trouble for others. It is a
situation which calls for real responsible
ity at the bargaining table.

Whatever may be the long-term eco

of philosophy Of management RESPONSE

money, the new agreement will bring to
the average Ford worker an estimated
increase in direct and fringe benefits of
20 cents an hour-SurpasSing the previous
record settlement of an 18-cent gain in
1946. In terms of broadening concept
of management responsibility, it repre-
Sents the first time major corporation

State unemployment compensation bene-
fits for its own employees during periods
of layoffs.
To reach this history making agree
ment, both company and union have been
engaged for years in careful preparation.
"We have been negotiating for seven
weeks" Ford spokesman said, "but we
have been preparing for the negotiations
for three years" Any UAW spokesman
truthfully could say the same thing.
For each side, the five-year period of the
now expired contract provided the neces-
sary time. The union made it clear,
especially through speeches of it's officials
and through educational literature to its
members and to the public, that its goal
would be guaranteed annual wage.
UAW President Walter Reuther says the
formula now agreed upon provides the

foundation "for the kind of security we
feel workers are entitled to-" The COM
pany, claiming the approved plan as
primarily its own, chooses to call it by
another name--a supplemental unem-
ployment benefit plan" Actually, the
precise designation is not as important
as the fact that both parties consider the

.Disaqrees With Disney

At the risk Of flying in the
face of the current rage for
Walt Disneyizing all Of ma
ture, I would like to point out
two examples of his knack for
exploiting the animal king
dom without true regard for
accuracy or truth.
In a recent Star True Life
Adventure" on giraffes, two
of the three characteristics
noted were in error. Disney's
diagnosis of the giraffe's act
of drinking as a painfully
difficult maneuver" will GER
tainly jar students of animal
behaviorism.
His illustration of the NOV
ing giraffe portrays a peculiar
kangaroo style gallop, where
as actually the beautiful pace
of the giraffe (both legs on
either side move in unison)
would have been as easy to
draw, and at the same time
instructive and accurate.

Last year. there came to my

It's title is "a Toast to the

The poem made such a last

Impelled to locate its author
and ascertain how he came to
be inspired to write the poem.
My efforts were rewarded. The
author, John Jay DAILY, resides
at 1922 Tennyson street,
Washington, D. c. He was on
the editorial staff of the New
Britain Comm Herald shortly
after the United States entered
World War 1.
Due to New Britain having
about So nationalities repre-
sented in its immediate popu-
lation, the Herald began a
campaign to build up the mo-
rale locally by suitable articles,
printed at the head of which
was an American flag immedi-
ately followed by a suitable
quote or poem. linen came
the article proper.
Mr.. DAILY was due to prepare
such an article for Flag Day,
1917. He decided to have a
toast to the flag at the head
of his article. His search for
such a toast, in prose or in
poem form, was unsuccessful.
Finally, one day before his
deadline, a toast to the flag
phrased itself in his mind and,
as in a dreamlike mental state,
Mr.. Daily wrote his poem, "A
Toast to the Flag" 1t was &C
ceptable to the editor in chief
and was printed with his
article for Flag Day, June IA.
1917.
The poem was picked up by
various publications all over
the United States, newspapers.
magazines, etc. 1t spread like
wildfire. ! understand he has
received several awards or rec
ognitions as author.

tween the sexes. Adenocarci-
noma is particularly apt to
attack young people. It has
shown no notable increase In
recent years.
The third type, alveola cell
carcinoma, is very rare and
extremely malignant, but it has
been thrown in with all other
lung cancers in some sta
tistics. further complicating
the picture. It seems to be
closely associated with the
South African sheep disease
jagziekte and probably is due
to a fllterable virus.
Relative rarity of squamous
cell lung cancers among
women. despite their heavy
cigarette smoking, may be ex-
planned by the habits of the
two sexes, DR.. Graham Sug-
gested. Young women and girls
are the heaviest smokers. BY
the time they are married and
have families they start cut
ting down. The tests with rats
have shown that whatever may
be the cancer-producing agent
among the tobacco tars is
quite slow-acting and there
usually Is half q lifetime Of
exposure before cancer symp-
toms appear. Smoking among
women is a relatively new de-
velopment. Few have smoked
long enough to cause cancer.
Women Susceptible
But the mouse experiments
indicated that in the long run
women may be even more Sus-
ceptible because cancers were
produced in female mice about
twice as frequently as among
males. The average time re-
quired to produce a malignant
growth in either sex was II
weeks, about half the average
lifetime Of a mouse.
"Our statistical observations
demostrate," DR.. Graham said.
that 80 to so years of Smok-
ing precede the appearance Of
a bronchiogenic carcinoma, a
period roughly corresponding to
one-half the life span Of q
man."
This slow action, he affirmed,
also is responsible for much Of
the misunderstanding. Early
experiments with animals gave
no results and experimenters
concluded that tobacco had
nothing to do with cancer.
No results could have been
expected in such short times.
Dr. Graham said. Despite re-
cent findings, "it still must be
admitted that the proof Of a
definite relationship does not
exist. To establish such proof
to the satisfaction of the die
hards would require human ex-
perimentation carried out on
the same individuals for more
than a quarter Of a century"
