Dangerous Proposal

Virginia, as we'll as the District Of
Columbia, has an interest in protecting
Washington's water supply from unnec-
essary contamination. Arlington and Falls
Church already depend on the District
system for water. Fairfax County IS con-
sidering a plan for hooking up with the
Dalecarlia plant. Nearby Virginia, there
fore, ought to support wholeheartedly the
Districts stand against the dumping of
any more sewage into the Potomac River
above the Dalecarlia plant.
The District Commissioners are justi-
fled in urging the Virginia Water Control
Board to disapprove an application by a
real estate developer to empty partially
treated sewage into the river only few
miles above the projected Little Falls
water collection dam. Construction of
this dam is to begin shortly 1t will divert

Reussures Parents

On May 13, I read a letter
from a Star reader who was
concerned about whether or
not children in the mass polio
myelitis incubation program
were being inoculated with
sterile needles. This is to as
sure the reader that the nee
dies and syringes used by the
Department of Public Health,
under whose direction this
vaccine was administered.
were as sterile as modern
sterilization could make them.
Disposable syringes and nee
dies were used for each in
dividual child. That is, the
needle and syringe was used
only once and then discarded.
In planning this incubation
program, it was determined
that this was the safest proce-
dure and, in the long run, the
cheapest. Certainly this is true
if one single patient was pre-
vented from having any cross
infection.
I trust this assurance will
settle any personal doubt in
the mind of any parent in the
District of Columbia.

intensely desires him to be the
G. o. P. presidential candidate
next year. He made no COM
mitment-but certainly he said
nothing to indicate he would
disappoint them. He did throw
in a comment to the effect
that the Republicans have po-
tential great leaders"-and
he gave an example: "You
have one on the platform-the

other indication of the high
regard in which the President
holds "Dick" Nixon-and a
clear suggestion that if Mr..
Eisenhower runs again, Mr..
Nixon will be his running

mean that should Mr.. Eisen-

stead of great unemployment

that most of the top leaders

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

one fears there Is a bit Of
propaganda in it)' the birds
do usually get along. not only
with each other, but with their
environment.
One of the things they have
learned over the centuries is
conservation of energy.
Part Of this tells them not
to fly high when there is no
necessity for flying high.
In other words
Divine common sense. Just
fly as high as necessary, and
no more.
If you want to cross the
street. skim across; there is
no point, even for a bird. in
flying up in the air and then
down again, when going di-
rectly across will do as we'll.
Though bats, those bird
like mammals, seem to have
some radar attachment, the
birds get along with the COM
bined use of their eyes and
wings.
The eyes see On all sides,
almost backward, and the
wings are marvels of f1exibil-
ity, able to hold the air and
at the same time permit some
of it to go through.
Occasionally a bird flies
into the side of a house, but
not often, only enough to
make it very noticeable.
Perhaps the chance is not
more than one in a million
that it will hit anything. If it
does, the probability is it
is failing from lack of food or
is ill in some other way.
We watched a wood thrush

on a front porch, one of the
last of the old-style porches.
When picked UP, it seemed
perfect and unharmed in
every way, except that it was

ably starved. Even the airy

Perry's Prophecy

Austrian treaty. the Kremlin's
disarmament proposal and So

tory attitude by the present
Communist dictators, and ex-
pressed belief that the Western

existence) with the Commu-
mist world"
However, the Communist
leopard has not changed its
spots and there is no reason
to believe that the purpose
to create a Communist-domi-
mated world has been aban-
doned. 1t should be noted that
Austria adjoins three Commu-
mist nations, and when the
Soviets pull out they will leave
plenty of cells. Remembering
the Kremlin's record of du-
plicity, they can take over the
whole of Austria at any time.
which would become one more
Russian satellite. 1t is to be
hoped that the Big Four meet
ing will not result in another
Yalta, and President Eisen-
hover should keep his guard
up at all times. About a hun
dred years ago Commodore
Matthew Perry, USN, upon his
return to this country after
opening Japanese ports to
American shipping, said:
"It requires no sage to pre-
dict that westward will the
course of history take its way.
but the last act of the drama
is yet to be unfolded. I think
that eastward and southwark
will Russia. Americas great
rival, stretch forth her power
to the coasts of China and
Siam.
And thus the Saxon and
the Cossack will meet once
more, in strife or in friendship.
Will it be in friendship? I
fear not! The antagonistic
exponents Of freedom and alb
solutism must thus meet at
last.
"Then will be fought that
mighty battle on which the
world will look with breathless
interest, for on its issue will
depend the freedom or the
slavery of the world-despot-
ism or rational liberty must be
the fate of civilized man.
"I think I see in the distance
the giants that are growing up
for that fierce and final en-
counter. In the progress Of
events that battle must sooner
or later inevitably be fought"

Unbalanced Burden

The prospect is that District taxpayers
may bear an inordinate share of the extra
revenue burden imposed by pay raises to be
voted by Congress for District employees.
Originally, District officials had talked of
a f1fty-f1fty split of the pay cost, with the
District raising its share through new taxes
added to the heavily increased levies so
recently enacted. AS the new tax program
finally emerged at the Capitol, however,
the Federal share had dwindled to less
than a fourth of the estimated cost of the
pay plan.
And the chances of House approval of
even the $2-m;llion boost in the Federal
payment proposed by the District Com
missioners have been clouded by the
Houses arbitrary cut in the $20-million
Federal obligation. If the Federal Gov
ernment backs down on its agreement to
contribute $40 million toward the running
of the Nations Capital the Districts
financial crisis will be bad indeed. If, in
addition a pay bill for District employees
city expenses is voted without provision
for an adequate sharing of the burden by
the Federal Government, the fiscal chaos
will be that much worse. All told, revenues
sufficient to meet about $12 or $13 million
in unforeseen costs must be raised, some
how. Against this dismal background the
action of the House in cutting the Federal
payment to $16 million stands out as
utterly unrealistic and indefenSible.

Official consent to the discharge into
this water source of sewage that has been
only partly treated would be serious
mistake. If contaminated waste of this
sort must be. disposed of in the river, it
should be conveyed through county

facilities farther down the river, where
there is no danger of injecting the main

Mr.. Meony on Attack

President George Meany of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has been waging
valiant fight at the Vienna congress of
the international Confederation of Free
Trade Unions to make that organization
militant crusader against communism. In
doing so he is carrying on what consistently
has been the American position in the
ICFTU since the late William Green in 1949
urged the newly formed 50-million- men,
ber body to "carry the fight" to COM
munism wherever 1t threatens slavery Of
the worker" 1t was, in fact, largely for
this very purpose that the ICFTU was
organized nearly six years ago after most
of the charter unions had walked out of
the Communist dominated World Fedora
ton of Trade Unions,
AS in other fields of international re-
lations, however, there has been a de-
veloping neutralist sentiment in the
ICFTU-reflected at this congress by
various of the delegations from Europe,
Asia and Africa. Seeking to maneuver
shift in operating power to officers who
might be more vigorous in their anti
Communist efforts, Mr. Meany has en-
phasized to the delegates in Vienna that
the men of Moscow" are committed to
the destruction of free trade unions.
On this point Mr.. Meany is on sound
enough ground. Certainly the form of
state "unionism" prevailing in Soviet
Russia and in its satellites is far from free
trade-unionism. The WITH, a once-re-
spectacle world labor organization, was a
victim of deliberate Communist design to
make 1t captive political instrumentality
According to news reports, however
Mr.. Meany has gone beyond the matter of
labor's reasons for fighting communism to
say that the Communist and democratic
systems cannot coexist-no matter what
understandings are reached by heads of
state in the interest of preventing war. II
this is true, it is indeed a bleak pros
pect For, seemingly, Mr.. Meany is saying
there is no alternative other than war
by which one system or the other presum-
ably would destroy its rival. Fortunately
hope has not diminished to this distressing
level and one doubts that even Mr.. Meany
Is so committed to such a discouraged state
of mind.

Rome's Answer to Moscow

Speaking through a long article in
Pravda, the Kremlin has declared that
there are no "objective causes" preventing
an Improvement in Italian-Soviet relations
and 1t has called upon Italy to change
it's foreign policy by showing greater in
dependence from the United States and
from the dangerous policy of blocs." With
admirable dispatch, however, Premier
Scelba's government has issued formal
and blunt statement in which it has cited
several very good reasons for declining
this unsolicited advice from Moscow.
Thus, as far as foreign policy is con-
cerned, Italy has emphasized that it has
not the slightest intention of weakening
its ties with the United States and the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization. And
the interchangeable reason given for this
is that the Italian peoples most vital in
terests-in terms of freedom, security and
economic being-are best served and
most protected by those ties of friend
ship and alliance. Moreover, disputing
Pravdas claim to the contrary, the
Scelba statement has pointed to no fewer
than three collective causes" initiating
against an improvement in relations with
Russia.
The first of these, in the words of
the statement, is that there can be no
such improvement "as long as the Italian
Communist Party continues to operate at
the service and under the direct or in
direct guidance" of the Kremlin. And
the second is the existence of the Iron
Curtain, (which makes it impossible for
Italian and Soviet people to correspond
freely" Finally, the third cause is that
since the end of the Second World War
Moscow's attitude "has never been in
spired by an understanding" of Italy's
interests.
Well and flttingly said! The Scelba
government is to be congratulated for
making clear to the world, particularly
to the Kremlin, that it is as determined
as ever-regardless of cajolery or threats
from Moscow-to hold fast to its course
In the western alliance.
