Torture School,

The Air Force has ample reason not
to be stampeded into abandoning certain
phases Of its so-called torture school"
at Stead Air Force Base.
In the first place, there seems to be
no doubt that lurid adjectives have been
tossed around rather carelessly in much
that has been written about the school.
In the second place, 1t is Air Force men
who are most likely to fall into enemy
hands II we have another war.
Under the new POW code, Americans
who may be taken prisoner will be held
to a stern standard Of conduct, even
though tortured by the enemy. The Star
has felt that the new code is something
less than realistic. But 1t is in effect,
and our men will be expected to live up
to 1t. ~
This being SO, 1t seems reasonable
that the men should know what may be
in store for them, and that they should
be prepared, as far as possible, to stand
UP under 1t. A course Of instruction like
that at Stead should be closely super
vised to guard against abuse. But in the

That man had seen like

him to dial God-not to
change the situation-that
couldn't be changed-but' to
change him 30 that his own
spirit might not be embittered
and soured by cynicism.
When that preacher faced
his congregation the next SUM-
day he spoke on "Life's Frus-
trations." He summoned his
hearers to contemplate what
the purpose Of life really is.
Listen to a handful Of sem
tences which fell from his lips:

The Navy and the Draft

Two factors are largely responsible
for the Navy's reluctant decision to turn to
selective service for help in manning its
ships and shore stations. One is the
almost simultaneous expiration OF the
four-year terms of men who enlisted In
large numbers when the Korean war
broke out. The second Is the failure OF
many Of these men to re-enlist, now that
the emergency Is over and only routine
peacetime duties seem to lie ahead. Reg
ular recruiting, too, is tagging behind re-
uuiremerts, probably for similar reasons.
So for the first time since World War II,
the Navy will supplement voluntary en-
listments by recourse to the draft.
The decision to induct sailors was a
reluctant one for the very good reason
that military authorities have found that
volunteers accommodate themselves to
the rigors of military life more readily
than men who are forced to report for
duty. Both the Navy and the Air Force
have prided themselves on being "volun-
.teer" services. The Air Force, inciden-
tally is having re-enlistment troubles,
too, but it has not yet abandoned the
voluntary system.
The Navy expects to accept total
of $4,000 draftees by next July, when the
post-Korean slump should have ended.
Recruiting officials hope that by that
time the number Of voluntary enlistments
once more will have caught up with de-
mands for personnel. The draftees will
have to serve only two years, whereas the
regular enlistment term is four years.
The advantages to the Navy of four-year
enlistments over two-year inductions is
obvious. stepped-up recruiting efforts
during the next few month will be
justifed.

Grass Roots Success

The visiting Russian farm delegation
left this country fol. home on happy
note. Their tour, they told Anal news
conference, had been interesting and in
formative, with their most memorable
impression" being that of the hospitality
shown them by their farmer hosts in
various parts of the United States. Their
"best souvenirs" they said, are the Santa
Gertrudi cattle, the farm machinery and
the seed grains they purchased for ship
ment to Soviet Russia. The chief of their
delegation, Deputy Minister of Agricul-
ture Matskevich, said he would come back
with pleasure If invited
It is reasonable to believe that these
polite words were sincerely spoken. Few
foreign delegations from any walk of life
have been received with greater cordial
ity in American rural homes and in the
plants where farm machinery was being
produced and demonstrated. The ex-
change Of delegations was an experiment
in grass roots" diplomacy and there was
considerable evidence in the United
States, at least, that the experiment con-
tributed to increased respect and under
standing. (There were embarrassing
incidents in Canada, where anti-C Commu-
mist groups demonstrated against the
visitors and travel arrangements ap-
parently were not as efflciently made as
during the tour of the States.)
Basic conflicts in political and eco
nomic ideologies will not be reconciled by
tourist exchanges, but the establishment
of a community of interests even hetveen
small groups, has its values. On that
score, this particular venture can be
considered q success.

though, as he says. they by no
means always have taken his
advice. Few will contend that
the Nation would not be better
OF II they had.
Baruch's Sentiments
On this subject Mr.. Baruch
recently said:
when World War II ended
we and our allies reckleSsly
and foolishly dismantled our
armed forces. The Soviet
Union did not. have always
felt that one Of the main
causes for the failure of the
peace has been the fact that
we permitted this tragic gap to
develop between the armed
strength Of the Soviets and the
defenses of the West.
II have opposed-and will
continue to oppose - reducing
our armed efforts until that
gap Is overcome. Although we
may be somewhat stronger
than In the past, the defenses
Of Western Europe are still
largely on paper. Without an
adequate military force In
Western Europe, peace cannot
be made and kept.
Whatever this country does
unavoidably sets an example
to the rest Of the world. We
cannot expect any Of our
allies, all Of whom suffered 60
much In the last war, to do
more than we do ourselves. II
we slacken our efforts, We
must expect others to slacken
theirs. The mortal risk threat
ems that the whole Of NATO
and all that it means could be
lost or made ineffective. That
was my position when Q
stretchout was inaugurated
by the previous administra-
ton. That remains my posi-

this vital issue Is not, Of

there will be q somewhat Bit

there are two things which

they have in the White House
Q man whose training, knowl-
edge and experience probably
equip him better than any
other to make this particular
decision. The other is that,

Good Example

New York has set good example for
Washington in the handling Of domestic
relations cases In the courts. The State
Supreme Court has just established
family division for New York County,
patterned generally after the family
courts set up in some other States. This
action is in contrast to the failure Of
Congress at its recent session to adopt
legislation for similar tribunal here.
Instead of setting up separate court,
as f1rst was advocated for the District by
the Judges Of the District Court, the New
York Supreme Court judges will take
turns serving in the new domestic
relations branch. They have been in
structed to assume new responsibility
In connection with the divorce, separation
and custody cases-that of endeavoring
to bring about reconciliation of couples
In pretrial conferences The judges are
authorized to make use of trained social
workers, psychologists and psychiatrists
In their efforts to settle cases without
formal trial.
The legislation proposed for WASH
ington by the District Court judges and
other groups would provide for like pre-
trial procedures here, along with other
reforms. The bill favored by the judges
ran into opposition at the Capitol, how
ever. The Senate finally passed bill to
create considerations branch Of the
Municipal Court, but without the special
lied aspects Of the system favored by the
judges. A better bill was reported to the
House but did not come to vote before
adjournment. We hope the family court
legislation will pass at the next session,
minus undesirable amendments Of the
sort that emasculated the Senate bill.
Washington ought to be in the forefront
Of cities with modernized domestic
relations tribunals, instead of tagging
behind New York and other Jurisdictions.
