Deserving D Cold Shoulder

There Is ample juStluCatlOn 1OT tne
generally cool and unreceptive Western re-
action to Premier Malenkov's recent sug-
gestion for full-dress Far Eastern confer
ence For the suggestion IS an old one that
the men Of the Kremlin have been peddling
from time to time throughout the past year,
and 1t still Is as Suspect and unacceptable
as ever.
The major reason for this, as indicated
some months ago BY Secretary Of State
Dulles, IS strong evidence that the Soviet
Union, working In harness with the Peiping
regime, seeks to accomplish only one objec-
tive with the proposed conference namely,
to secure that regime position In the
councils Of the world which It has not earned
or had accorded to 1t by the international
community generally, including the United
Nations
Mr.. Malenkov, at any rate, has made
clear that the kind of meeting he has In
mind would require that Red China be
seated as a co-equal participant with the
Soviet Union and the Western Big Three.
In other words, he wants France, Britain
and the United States to agree to get
together that would lift Peiping- which the
U. N. has branded as an aggreSSOr In Korea
to new high Of responsibility and prestige
In Asia, development that would amount
to major propaganda victory for the Com
muniSts.
Accordingly, the Soviet proposal, which
also fits in with the Kremlin's constant
effort to stir up Anglo French American
discord, deserves nothing but a cold shoulder
from the West. This Is the more true be-
cause there is not the slightest indication
that the Moscow-P eiping axis is In any mood
to negotiate In good faith on Korea and
other Far Eastern issues. Perhaps such
mood will appear In due course, but only
the naively wishfuI will suppose that Mr..
Malenkov's New Years Day remarks mean
that 1t exists now.
In fact, In making those remarks, Mr..
Malenkov, while favoring Far Eastern con-
ference in one breath, has implied In an
other breath that he Is not interested at this
time In a Big Four meeting on European
problems Instead, In effect, he has de-
nanded that the Western allies scrap the
plan to arm free Germany, abandon their
NATO defense bases, and otherwise stop
building up their military strength against
the threat Of aggression from the peace
loving states"
Such demands certainly suggest that
the Kremlin is not In frame of mind for
also suggest that the same thing is true as
regards Moscow and Peiping in Asia. In
the circumstances, instead Of being beguiled
by Mr.. Malenkov's bid for Far Eastern
conference, the free world must continue to
improve its unity and defensive power every
where.

It is heartening to note that some Of

Federal Partnership Plan

Legislation which Representative Au-
chincloss Of New Jersey viii sponsor at this
session will lay the groundwork for active
Federal partnership in the planned rebuild
ing of Southwest washington. The extent
to which the Federal Government would
Join with the District and with private
developers In the broad upgrading program
has been uncertain. This uncertainty has
arisen not only because Of lack OF specific
congressional authority to launch a Gov
eminent building project In the Southwest,
but because of the general civil defense
policy Of dispensing Federal activities. For
tunately, both OF these difilculties appear
to be dissolving.
The Auchincloss bill would provide def
mite statutory authority for construction Of
an unspecified number Of Federal buildings
In an area set aside In the tentative Geek
endorf plan for such public works. At first
1t had been suggested that the new. Lease
Purchase Act should be applied toward this
objective. There is growing conviction,
however, that it would be better to enact
specific legislation for Southwest lease
purchase undertaking, with positive pro-
vision for concurrent elimination of Federal
temporary buildings on the Mall Thus, the
Identification of the rundown waterfront
area would be co-ordinated with the res
toration of the Mall and Of West Potomac
Park to their former roles In the Lincoln
Memorial Monument park scheme The
prospect is q highly attractive one that
merits the combined support Of all agencies
and groups interested In improving the
appearance Of the National Capital.

Not for Posterity

There has been some talk recently Of
the difficulty facing historians because Of
the distance separating Libraries housing

Is q problem for the student Of history.
But in the case of most Of US, one can be

their nature, can as well be housed on the

scholars.

For q Judicial Report

The flrst OF q series Of articles discuss
ing the need for report to Congress by
the Chief Justice on the problems of the
Federal judiciary appears In today's Star.
This, Of course, is not something that
the Chief Justice could, with propriety,
undertake on his own initiative. The invi-
tation should come from the Congress- pref
erably pursuant to passage of joint reso-
luton. The Star believes, however, that
the desirability of such an invitation and
judicial report will become self-evident II
the relevant facts are given appropriate
consideration.
Money is one-but only one-factor.
The Federal judiciary, although one of our
three coordinate branches of Government,
struggles along on about one twenty-fifth
of one per cent of the Federal budget Its
fund allotment is about equal to that for
some minor Federal agency, and the quality
OF service to the public which the courts
can render is correspondingly impaired.
There are number Of other factors.
however, which will be discussed in The
Stars series They touch upon aspects of
the problem which may be dif1icult but
which certainly are not impossible, Of
solution. The best approach to them, the
best way of focusing public attention on
them, lies in report to each new Congress,
and, incidentally, to the people, by the
Chief Justice. The star is fully persuaded
that the Federal courts will be able to serve
the public interest better If this long
overdue step is taken.

Eugene Cooks proposal to dis

branches as IAN encroachment of
the constitutional guarantees of

The executive committee Of the

any American citizen has the

join or support any organization
whose purposes r legitimate
and not contrary to the law OF
the land"
Previously in New York, Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive secre-
tary, had declared that adoption
of Mr.. Cooks recommendation
would be "emmediately challeng-
ed" in the courts. He charged
the Georgia official with turning
ito mean, personal, punitive ac-
ton against individual teachers
after failing to 'bulldoze the
United States Supreme Court"
The Georgia NAACP also ex-
pressed the opinion that regula-
ton already adopted by the Geor-
gia State Board of Education re-
voking licenses of persons teach
ing mixed classes cannot be
successfully defended whenever
and wherever challenged in a
court of competent jurisdiction"
