ABCs of Politics

Arlington County voters
should be warned early and
often about a situation not
only confusing but undoubt-
edly meant to confuse. 1t is
that of the erstwhile Non
Partisans who, having sullied
the name under which they
have operated for several
years, have split into two seq
mentS. One calls itself Ar
lingtonians for a Better Coun-
ty (ABC): the other, the
School Board Nominating
Convention.
The initials ABC were lifted
from the Arlington Indepen-
dent Movements (AIM) slo-
gan, "Arlington's Better Cam
didates," and many voters are
hopelessly muddled over this
welter of initials. The erst-
while Non -Partisans will play
this confusion to the limit in
their desperate fight to retain
monopoly of the county's
school board.
This deliberate attempt to
win by confusion should re-
ceive the prompt attention OF
AIM, and I, for one. believe
a change of name to Conserva-
tive Party would squelch
cheap attempt to trade on
confusion Just the name,
Conservative Party, would tell
simply that groups policy,
which is to discard at least
that part of Arlington's pro-
gressive education program
which has proved unworkable
or even harmful. and concen-
trate more on pure education
and less on social change.
The newspapers could help
by ceaSlng to ldentl1y ABB as
a coalition of political beliefs.
ABC is the same group of lib
eral Non-Partisans who have
done their best to socialize
Arlington during the past 10
years. AIM is a true coalition
of conservative Democrats
and Republicans, but one set
of initials sounds much like
another to the uninformed
voter. This is the real reason
behind the Non-PartisanS'
chameleonlike change of pro-
tective coloratfon. !
The need is so great ma
tionally for a conservative
party that AIM possibly could
spark a Nationwide movement
by adopting a name truly rep
resentative of that great phi
losophy. Meanwhile. voters
should be extremely careful

a tactical move. this is the sort
of coexistence a spider would
propose to a fly.
Molotov, attending the cele-
bration of the tenth anniver-
sary of UN, will be welcomed
and applauded by many as an
honorable man.
More people. believing in
principles, will resent him.
They will remember the in
spring and vigorous words of
the American writer, Leland
Stowe:
Either you stand with free

freedom. Either you defend
the rights Of free men, or you
undermine them by your very
indifference. Those who shut
their eyes to Soviet crimes be-
come unconscious allies of the
Kremlins supporters of mass
enslavement of peoples"

New Appellate Judge

Assuming confirmation, Warren E.
Burger will take his place on the United
States Court of Appeals for the District
as virtual stranger to the Washington
community.
His Minnesota background is that of
a liberal Republican-one of the group
of younger men who sparked the drive
which brought Harold Stassen to the
Governorship of his State. Beyond this,
Mr.. Burger has done nothing in politics
worthy of mention-except that it was
he who sent out the first word in the 1852
Republican convention that the Stassen
delegates were switching to General
Eisenhower. And this, of course, was MIR.
Stassen's decision, not Mr.. Burgers. 3
In view of this, it can hardly be as
sumed that the judicial nomination is
reward for political services. rendered
And if this is correct, the alternative as
sumption must be that Mr.. Burger has
been chosen on the basis of competence
and in the belief that, broadly speaking,
he will go to the judiciary as one who
shares the legal philosophy of this ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Burger came to Washington
in 1858 as member of the team" of
able young assistants being assembled by
Attorney General Brownell. AS Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the civil
division, he has won the respect of his
colleagues. Outside the department, he
is best known as the lawyer who rep
resented the Government before the
Supreme Court in the Peters case. Nor
mally, that job would have fallen to the
Solicitor General, but the understanding
is that Mr. Sobeloff stepped aside because

he did not wish to defend the Federal
loyalty program. Mr.. Burger did defend
it-ably and successfully In the sense that
the courts decision turned on minor
point which left the loyalty program in
tact.
This is an insufficient basis on which
to hazard any forecasts as to how Mr..
Burger will line up on a rather sharply
divided court. That is something which
must await the test of his judicial pro-
nouncements. Meanwhile, there is no
reason to doubt that well-qualified man
has been picked for one Of the most i'm
portant places in the Federal judiciary.

Lofty Thinker

Glib Crocket'S recent cartoon
depicting the dilemma of j.
Public and the planners re-
garding the status of bridging
or tunneling the Potomac.
makes me think that maybe
the Army Transportation Corps
ought to be consulted on this
subject, especially since every
body seems to be getting into
the act anyway.
The Star on June 16 told
how the Army had developed
an aerial tramway consisting
of a series of 100 towers strung
together with cables over
which gasoline-powered "sky-
cars" shuttle.
This idea appeals to me.
High above crunching, jolting
and noisy traffic below, with a
beautiful view of the city
everywhere within my sight,
and a nice summer breeze on
my face, I think I could wax
philosophic as far as the
bridge and tunnel business is
concerned.
AS a starter. a good route
might be from the Pentagon to
the Washington Monument. A
million people ride to the top
of the Monument every year
anyway and a reasonable por-
tion of that number have to
cross from Washington to the
Pentagon every day. Later on
other routes could be added.
like spokes of an aerial wheel
until Washington was blan-
keted with a system of trans
portation that wasn't depen-
dent on bridges, tunnels, is
lands, roads or tracks, and
rivers would be no problem.
Such a system would be a
great tourist attraction, and
the evening runs would be
sure to appeal to young lovers
and teen-agers. 1t would have
the advantage of keeping peo-
pie off the streets.
Ski lifts have made molehills
out of mountains. Perhaps the
Army's aerial tram can be
similarly effective in solving
the bridge-tunnel problem.

McCarthy's own chances in

them. Unlike Senator Morse,
Senator Mccarthy cannot flop

While the Democrats appear

Another demonstration that
the country has faith in PreSi-
dent Eisenhower has come
about through the efforts Of
one of his chief critics-Sena-
tor Joe Mccarthy, Wisconsin
Republican. The Wisconsin
Senator's effort was to tie the
Presidents hands at the COM
ing four-power conference in
Geneva-not to back up the
President. Senator McCarthy's
resolution instructing the Pres
ident to take up in the COM
ing conference the status OF
the Communist satellite coun-
tries was turned down. first by
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and second. by the
Senate itself, so oVerwhelm-
ingly as to pulverize any idea
that the President should not
go to the four-power confer
ence free to negotiate.

Senate was forced by Majority
Leader Lyndon johnson of
Texas, Democrat. This. in it.
self, indicates that Mr.. Eisen-
hover will go to Geneva with
as total bipartisan support as
ever was accorded a Chief
Executive in his handling of
foreign relations. Properly so.
This is no time to show to the
Russians and to the other
peoples of the world a divided
front. The issues to be con-
sidered are vital to every
American.
Presidents Powers
After all, under the Consti-
tuition, the President of the
United States is given the COM
plete control of handling our
foreign relations. The Senate's
part arises only after the Pres
ident has completed some
treaty or agreement that re-
quires ratification by that body.
The Senate could not impose
its will upon the President.
But it could, perhaps, render
the President impotent in deal
ing with a foreign nations
representatives. 1t would be
open notice that any agree
ment in any way contrary to
the meaning of the resolution
would not be accepted when
presented to the Senate for
ratification.
Senator Mccarthy has pub
licly declared his lack of con-
fidence in Mr.. Eisenhower when
it comes to matters of foreign
relations and his dealings with
Communists and fellow travel
ers. He has, in effect, said that
the President will sell the
country down the river. He has
left up in the air the question
whether he, Senator Mccarthy,
will support Mr.. Eisenhower if
he runs again next year. Will
