Mansfield Raps
Military in Politics
speeioI Dispatch TO The siar

iQUANTICO, Va, Feb. 49,
Senator Mansfield. Democrat. of
Montana, asserted today that
military leaders ought not to
assume that military training
provides an automatic back
ground for politics, whether ma
tional or International"
"And they ought not in the
formulation and conduct of for
eign policy exceed the powers of
their Office" he said in a speech
at the commissioning exercises
of the Marine Corps 18th officer
candidate class here.
The Senator said the role Of
the military in foreign policy
was to provide reserve of
power to support negotiations
concerning our just interests in
the world and to defend those
interests if they are attacked.
Responsibility for determining
what our interests are and when
and how they are to be defended
is vested in the President and
his Secretary of State"

selection the cream of a very
large crop.
Many years from now, the
high quality Of this first class
will still be paying dividends in
national defense.

site at Lowry Air Force Base,
Denver, Colo. The academy is
to be built near Colorado Springs.

Given Duty of
Watching Weather

Nearly 100000 volunteer wealth
er observers will go on duty
soon, looking for tornadoes and
other kinds of storms, according
to the Air Weather Service at
Andrews Air Force Base.
The watch will be kept by
members of the Ground OBJ
servers Corps, whose primary
function is to spot and report
airplanes. The corps has 5000
stations throughout the country.
Some of the corps units have
been reporting unusual weather
for longer than a year. But a
new regulation is being issued
requiring reporting by GOO of
tornadoes, hail and surface winds
in excess Of 81 miles an hour.
Although both the Air Wealth
er Service and the Weather Bu-
reau maintain severe weather
warning centers. it was pointed
out these stations are so sparsely
located that weather forecasting
on a small scale is difficult.

School Head Urges
Gradual Integration
In Montgomery

DR.. Forbes H. Norris, super
intendent of Montgomery Coun-
ty Schools. feels that ''integra.
ton is coming but time is needed
for adjustment"
DR.. Norris, who spoke in a
panel discussion at a meeting
of the Lone Oak Elementary
School PTA in Rockville, de-
clared "a program must be
worked out which won't hurt
the children"
Both DR.. Norris and the other
panel speaker. Charles E. Bish.
superintendent of Washington's
integrated Mckinley Tech High
School, stated it was necessary
to "be tolerant Of other peoples
intolerances."
Some 200 parents attended
the meeting. Dr.. Norris asked
if it might not be preferable to
meet the integration problem
quickly, answered that he be-
lieved "a gradual adjustment to
the problem is better for the
county"
IF it came too quickly, I fear
it would be met with open resist
ance in the upper part of the
county. I hope I am wrong" he
said.
Other school superintendents
in Maryland, DR.. Norris said, be-
lieve in gradual adjustment.
"a general sentiment among
county superintendents." he said,
"is that each county should be
given the privilege of working
out the problems in its own way"
The general adjustments stu
dents will have to make to in
tegration are among the prob
lens to be faced, Dr.. Norris said.
He said integration might Gre
ate the need for special study
aids for colored pupils in inte-
grated classes.
Immediate integration, the
superintendent said, would not
save building space-"It win
mean relocation of classrooms.
He said integration effected
quickly would result in some
schools being "overcrowded 3.

A Warning for Ivan

Now that the Russians are planning
supermarkets in the American style,
there are a few things Ivan should know
= about the personal problems he will meet
when these food variety stores are set
up. For one, he should know about the
matter of carrying heavy bags of gro
ceries to and from the car. Even should
he be successful in evading the market
ing, there will be need to carry the bags
into the house when they are brought
home. From this there is no escape.
And, when the groceries are brought
inside, he will be expected to help take
them from the bags and stow them away.
The protest that this removes the element
OF pleased surprise from future meals
will do him no good at all 1t also is
difficult to plead fatigue when one has
been lolling in the hammock while
another has gone to the supermarket.
So, Ivan will need to help put the cans
and bottles into their proper places.
About the only advice one can offer
Ivan concerns how to escape the mar
keti,Ag, lest he blundeA through many
trips before discovering the ruse himself.

An Improved Court Bill

The family court bill sent to the
House by the District Committee is much
to be preferred to the Senate-passed
measure. The House bill would correct
one Of the major defects of the Senate
version, namely, the failure to provide
for separate group of judges special
izing in considerations cases. With
out this provision the legislation would
be just another law to increase the
strength of the local bench. There Is
no point in transferring the family cases
from the District Court to the Municipal
Court If the same old much-criticized
rotation system OF judging the difficult
considerations litigation is to be
continued.
Under the bill reported by the House
committee, three additional judges would
sit in new Domestic Relations Branch
docket of the new branch permitted, the
Chief Judge of the court could reassign
one or more of the speciality judges to
general cases. This seems to be rea-
sonable arrangement. However, there
are deficiencies in the House bill that
Congress ought to consider seriously be-
fore final enactment of this important
legislation. A committee of judges had
urged that the legislation provide for
Q) reconciliation procedures in divorce
cases, (2) pretrial commissioners hear
ings leading to possible stipulations, (3)
taking Of nonadversary testimony and az
court collection of alimony payments.
These additional powers have been found
useful and desirable in similar tribunals
elsewhere. It would be shortsighted TO-
deprive the new court here of the extra
authority recommended by the judges.

Sound Tax Philosophy

Secretary of Treasury Humphrey was
placing one "horse and cart" in proper
sequence when he testified before House
committee on the accelerated amortiza-
ton tax program. His position, in brief,
Is that from now On this device Of grant,
Ing fast tax write-offs for plant expan-
sions should be used "only sparingly and
very rigidly and strictly confined to
direct war-requirements applications"
More generous application, he feels,
would constitute an unjustifiable subsidy
to industry. In the current fiscal year,
for example, the Treasury estimates that
the program will cost the Federal Gov
ernment $3.50 million in tax revenues.
Extension Of the program on the same
liberal basis, he warned, might stand in
(which would be Of important assistance
to all business and to our continued eco
nomic growth and expansion"
The fast amortization device was
conceived during the Korean emergency
as an encouragement to emergency in
dustrial expansion. It served this pur-
pose well and even now Mr.. Humphrey
Is not asking repeal of the authority.
However, repeal of the excess profits tax
and liberalization Of depreciation allow
ances permit more favorable financing
for plant expansion today. There have,
in addition, been signs that some COM
panies are asking fast amortization priv
ileges for expansion that might take
place anyway and that is not really con-
nected with any national interest re-
quirement. The Defense Mobilization
Board is reviewing the whole question
currently. 1t is likely that the admin
istration's future policy will be closely in
line with Mr.. Humphreys point of view
and that the prospects of broad tax re-
ductions will be placed ahead Of pro-
gram favoring only one segment of the
economy.

On Uniting Germany

When I read the headline.
"Big Four Drop Germany, Take
Up Security" I breathed a sigh
of relief. Up to now I have ap-
plauded the Presidents foreign
policy even though I find as
poets of his domestic policy
revolving. I supposed that the
Big Four conference was pri-
marily to settle atomic and Ash
attic problems. I am amazed
that President Eisenhower
placed so much emphasis on
the reunion of Germany. What
purpose can be served by this?
Is big business behind such a
proposal? It appears to me that
Germany, as now partitioned.
serves as an ideal object lesson
to the rest of the world.
If Germany is reunited, its
Prussians and many of the
peoples Of the world might soon
forget that it was the power of
our "decadent democracy" that
put both the Kaiser and Hit
Ter out Of business. Moreover,
that same power. through
Marshall Plan aid, has put
West Germany back on its feet
at an amazing pace. Compare
son with East Germany readily

can way Of helping people.

Pace That Kills

It's no wonder that the Ma
tional Safety Council and
other organizations such as
the Automotive Safety Foun-
dation and American Automo-
bile Association are seriously
concerned about the ways and
means of preventing traffic
fatalities.
From whatever little I have
travelled by car, I have seen
that the maximum speed limit
on the turnpikes is 10 miles
per hour, and IS on highways.
And-an automobile travelling
at this speed is an engine of
death. If the maximum sfeed
limit is 10 miles per hour. I
don't see any reason why the
manufacturers of automobiles
make them so that a driver
can speed up to 100 miles per
hour. Would it not be advis-
able If the automobiles are so
made, without disturbing their
quality, that no driver can
speed up his automobile more
than 70 miles per hour?

Rise of Bank Robbery

A puzzl1ng development on the ma
tional crime front is the sudden rise in
number of bank robberies and burglaries
Crimes in this category were prevalent
during the Dillinger, Floyd and Barker
era of the sos, but they ceased to be a
major problem after the FBI had waged
spectacular and successful war on such
organized gangs 1t is disturbing to learn
that bank robbery once again is giving
Federal, State and local authorities cause
for concern.
In his annual report for the fiscal
year recently ended, Director Hoover of
the FBI called special attention to the
upward trend of bank holdups and bur-
glarieS during fiscal 1855. Robberies of
banks rose in number from 271 in 1854
to 335 last year. Bank burglaries rose
from 144 to 181 and larcenies from % to
So. On the credit side, the number of con-
victions in bank cases increased from 246
to 355.
The protection of banks against
criminal depredations was the subject in
recent months of a large number of inter-
jurisdictional conferences among Fed
eTal, 0CdCe, couHCy anu HuIllClpdl law
enforcement officers. The FBI, which
has jurisdiction in cases involving banks
under Federal supervision and in crimes
where stolen goods are transported across
State lines, has been laying plans with
State and local officers to cope with
the outbreak of bank robberies 1t will
take intelligent, wholehearted teamwork
among all Authorities concerned to Aeet
this new challenge by the underworld.
