Playing 1t Safe

Although any delay in distribution
of the Salk vaccine Is serious matter,
this surely is one situation in which it is
better to be safe than to be sorry.
Surgeon General scheele has expressed
his own confidence that scientific study
now being made of the vaccine will result
in favorable report. Quite probably he
Is right. But it will not take long to COM
plete this study-a few days at most.
When this relatively slight delay is meas
ured against the strong suspicion that
few children have contracted polio as
result of taking one brand of the vaccine,
the decision to temporarily stop distribu-
ton of all new patches and the recon-
mendation to discontinue vaccinations
over the week end seem entirely reasonable.
In situation of this kind, a panicky
reaction among parents would not have
been surprising. Instead, they have re-
ceived the bad news calmly and with adj
mirable self-restraint. Surely they will
accept delay of a few days, especially If
the result will be to remove all doubt
as to the safety of the vaccine.

Tourists Are Welcome

The welcome mat always is out in
Washington for tourists and convention
delegates. Last year as million sight-seers
and quarter of million convention Wis
itors enjoyed the hospitality of the Ma
tional Capital. And local businessmen
enjoyed the benefits of about $3.50 million
which these guests spent here. What is
not generally known is that many of these
visitors and much of this money might not
have come to the city but for the effective
promotion work of the Greater National
Capital Committee, sponsored by the Board
of Trade. This preliminary public rela-
tons and publicity program costs money
money that must be contributed by WASH
ington's business community. This year
the committee is asking the trade interests
to put up at least $150,00O to promote the
influx of visitors next year. 1t has been
estimated that for every dollar invested
last year in the promotion fund, $1,175
came back in dividends. That sort of
investment ought to have wide appeal to
the businessmen of Washington.

Pensions for Presidents

The question of what the United
States could and should do for its former
Presidents has been raised often in Con-
gress. The Senate now has come up with
an answer in the unanimous passage Of
legislation providing an annual pension,
an office and allowance for clerical staff.
The proposed pension would be $22,500
with the office allowance being approx
mately $4,000 yearly. The same bill pro-
vides for an annual pension of $4,000 to
widows of Presidents Companion legisla-
ton is pending in the House and is worthy
of prompt approval there.
The financial condition of former
Presidents has varied greatly. Some have
been wealthy men, for whom retirement
from the White House and from political
life has created no economic problem.
Herbert Hoover, who would benefit by the
Senate bill, is one of these. Others in
modern times were Theodore Roosevelt
and Grover Cleveland. Some have found
profitable employment. Calvin Coolidge
wrote syndicated newspaper column and
later became director of large insur-
ance company William Howard Taft
coming Chief Justice of the United States.
Harry Truman, the only other living ex-
President, is writing his memoirs and
probably will profit substantially. But
some former Presidents, with neither indie
pendent means nor high earning power,
have been forced to depend upon friends
for financial assistance.
Actually, the Senate bill also is step
toward resolving another question, namely,
how the Nation might utilize the expert
ence and the wisdom Of former Presidents.
With an Office and clerical help provided,
and financial worries removed, former
chief executives might be considered avail
able for advisory services in many fields
of government. One proposal is that for
mer Presidents should have the status of
Senators at-large, with privileges of the
Senate floor and of debate, but without a
Senate vote. Mr.. Hoover, as a private
citizen has headed two commissions on
Government reorganization. Both Mr..
Hoover and Mr. Truman appeared recently
by invitation before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to testify on proposed
revision of the United Nations Charter
The Senate Post ONCE and Civil Serv-
Ice Committee, supporting the bill just
passed, said it would not attempt to pro-
pose "any def1nitive solution" OF how to
call upon former Presidents for continued
service to the country. 1t has, however,
provided a way for them to live sin dig
nifty" and probably brought closer an
"actfves duty" status for these men who
have held our highest elective office.

Approach to Charity

Of late we have been read
ing quite a good deal about
this lone drive for all" idea.
Maybe I have missed some of
the discussion. But all have
seen was favorable to it. The
proponents may be sincere or
just plain greedy. At any rate,
there is one prime factor which
apparently has been over
looked.
The more a person gives
and the oftener he gives, in
creases his willingness to give.
For an unself1sh person. giving
is pleasure. For those to
whom it is a nuisance" or the
coming public enemy No. l"
as one writer to The Star ex-
presses it, the time it takes to
say mo" is insignificant.
Actually, the diversity of APP
peals gives the public a chance
to aid whichever charities it
wishes. If all the contribu-
tons go into one fund, the
distribution of them soon be-
comes an autocratic affair.
Then, too, the donor is far
less likely to give in one lump
sum as much as he would in
several smaller gifts. 1t is too
bad that the people who want
control of these charity funds,
do not understand this prin-
ciple. Through not recognizing
this demonstrated fact, they
are working against themselves
as we'll as against the re-
cipients Of the various char
tiles.

The Other Charles Carroll

Marylanders during the next two
weeks will have an opportunity to learn
about another Charles Carroll of Revolu-
tionary fame, one who, although seldom
mentioned in the history books, was as
staunch a patriot as his more celebrated
cousin "of Carrollton." And the citizens
of Maryland in general and of Annapolis
in particular will be asked to help per-
petuate the "other" Carroll's memory by
contributing to fund to preserve his
birthplace in the Maryland capital.
Both Charles CAROLS were signers
Of declarations of independence. Charles
Carroll of Annapolis (known as "the Bar
rister" to distinguish him from his father
Of the same name, surgeon) helped to
write the Maryland Declaration, which
was signed on July 3, 1776. Charles Carroll
of Carrollton, Frederick County, signed
the National Declaration. Both were
leaders In the independence movement
and in conventions and councils which
helped to develop Revolutionary policies.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

to him, the thrush gave over
the woods. at least to a GER
tain extent, and became q
suburb thrush, as he might
be called today.
At one time he was known
to Mount Pleasant and Column
bia Heights. those first sub
urban sections. as they were
developed In the early '90s.
Those places look very CITY,
ish today, so that a newcomer
may be forgiven for not realiz-
ing that once they were pure
suburbs. But so years ago
they had two or three homes
to many Of the blocks. Then
progress overlook them.
Always there was the wood
thrush.
Today he is being pushed
farther and farther back, as
every last building lot in the
older suburbs (miles farther
out than Columbia Heights)
is being occupied.
New houses mean cut-down
trees, and trees help make
many birds appear. That much
of his name is sure, wood
thrush. He likes trees, Just
as squirrels do.
A clean, beautiful, sedate
bird, this thrush is a wonder
full singer. a nice creature to
have around. He Is Official"
bird Of the District Of Column
bia and close to the hearts Of
all bird friends.
When his clear song, music
from the heart Of nature,
salutes the ears at evening
tide, he speaks to the mind
and soul of the listener. He
is so sure Of himself, so GER
tain that all our doubts and
fears are really for nothing.
He tells us that we, too, could
catch his happiness, II we
would live as he does, con-
fident that this Is. despite
the sneers, the very best Of
all possible worlds. We pos
sess the power and the glory,
why do we not have the hap
piness we used to have?

School Ordinance

On May IL, the Board OF
Supervisors of Fairfax County
will be presented with a pro-
posed county ordinance IL
censing nursery schools and
kindergartens which meet Ger
tain requirements. The Fedora
ton of Cooperative Schools
of Northern Virginia, which
includes five member schools
in Fairfax County, enthusiast
tically Endorses this ordinance.
Actually, it sets minimum
standards below those gener-
ally approved by national edu-
cational organizations. The IS

100 square feet of outdoor
space for each child, the sani-
tary and fire regulations linn

children supervised by one
person, physical examinations
for children, teachers and
helpers all will help insure a
healthful. safe environment for
preschool-aged children.
The parents who administer
cooperative schools feel a
strong responsibility for the
care of their children. They are
willing to assume the cost of
good teachers who, with the
parents. have the right to ex-
pect good facilities and Gre
alive equipment. Even with
limited budgets, cooperative
schools have always striven to
give the child the best possible
equipment for happy mental
and physical development. We
feel this equipment begins with
proper housing, adequate play
and rest areas and materials
for interesting and challenging
activities. With this founda-
ton. teachers and parents
within the cooperative schools
work together for a richer
school experience.
We recognize the danger to
young children given day care
or schooling in substandard
quarters, with insufficient su-
pervision and inadequately
trained personnel. As parents,
we are proud to be taking an
active part in the preschool
education Of our children. We
urge other parents and teach
ers to carefully consider the
kind Of programs their own
children are being exposed to
in nurseries and kindergartens.
Such consideration should re-
suit in full support of the pro-
posed Fairfax County ordi-
nance. Marjorie T. Wallace,

For 10 years, Democrats
have struggled to get the
Northern and Southern wings
of their party to work together
for the election of Presidents,
and for the enactment of New
Deal and Fair Deal legislation.
The late President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was able
to hold both wings together
for his own reflections. But
the deterioration of the New
Deal legislative programs set
in soon after RooSevelt's third
term began. In 1913, presiden-
tial candidate Harry S. Tru-
man lost four States Of the
solid South" And in 1852,
Adlai Stevenson, the Demo-
cratic nominee for President,
also failed to carry four Of
these Southern States.
Ever since Mr.. Stevenson's
defeat, party leaders have been
working for better relations
between the Northerners and
the Southerners. Considerable
progress was claimed. An adj
visory committee, headed by
former National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell. recently
came up with recommended
tons that no loyalty pledge"
be demanded of delegates
elected to the 1856 Democratic
National Convention; that reg
ularly elected delegates would
be accepted at face value, on
the idea that they would act in
good faith to support the
nominees Of the convention
and the platform adopted
there.
Mitchell Statement
The goose seemed to hang
high for the Democrats. But
then came Mr.. Mitchell's state
ment he was opposed to seat
ing of Gov. Shivers of Texas,
Gov. Lennon of Louisiana and
others. who supported Presi-
dent Eisenhower in the 1852
campaign, as delegates in the
Democratic National Conven-
ton next year. The fat was in
the fire.
Gov. Shivers' comment, when
he was asked recently about
the Mitchell threat to chal-
lenge his right to be q Demo-
cratic delegate, was, who's
Mitchell?" After a long talk
with the present Democratic
National Chairman, Paul M.
Butler. the Texas Governor
complimented Mr.. Butler as a
strong chairman and said he.
Gov. Shivers, hoped the 1855
convention would nominate a
presidential candidate "all
good Democrats" could support
and adopt a platform they
could all 60 for, too. But then
Gov. Shivers lowered the boom.
He said he would not support

I would like to express
grave concern over the COM
pulsory reserve bill (HR.529D
which has been approved by
the House Armed Services
Committee. AS one who is con-
cerned with the welfare Of our
country, I would seriously
question such a plan in a de-
mocracy. 1t seems that this is
really universal military train
ing under another name.
Such a program is contrary
to the American way Of life
as based upon our Constitu-
ton. We have fought two wars
In the name of freedom and
to keep tyranny and It's symp-
toms from our shores. and yet
such a program as this pro-
posal would inaugurate would
bring as law the most effective
instrument used by those
countries that we defeated.
Until now Americans have
accepted the idea of a con-
script army only in a war
emergency with definite ex-
piration dates. This new pro-
posal presents a permanent
type program to be reviewed
In four years with no expira-
ton date. Such a plan extends
more control over the minds
and bodies of citizens in times
of peace, thus taking away
greatly from our freedom, as
we'll as disrupting the lives of
our young men for eight years.
Such a conscript reserve
plan does not deter aggression.
Russian expansion took place
when we had a monopoly on
the atomic bomb. II the A and
H bombs haven't frightened
them, could we frighten them
with a conscripted army much
smaller than their own?
This proposal builds Amer
lean security mainly on mill
tary power instead of diplo-
matte negotiations land the
United Nations, which needs
our support. Military and
civilian leaders declare that
our only security lies in build
ing a community Of nations.
Being a Nation influenced by
many Christian principles, we
must share the belief that such
a program is contrary to Chris
tan ideals given to us by Jesus
Christ.
I sincerely trust that this

Mr.. De Sopio's Advice

Democratic National Committeeman
Carnine De Sapio of New York, advising 16
Democratic Governors here on how to
win the 1856 presidential election, sug-
gested they "go after (President) Eisen-
hover rather than the people of second
rank" Judging by reports on the meet
ing, however, the Governors could not
have been listening very carefully. For
after some rather general criticism about
an administration that brings prosperity
for some but not ALL" they turned most
of their fire on favorite target and one
"of second rank" at that. It was Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson, who already
has demonstrated his ability to accept and
to survive criticism, and whose conception
of Government farm program has Demo-
cratic, as we'll as Republican, supporters.
It is true, of course, that there is I'M
employment In the country, but there
never has been time when that was not
the case. In April the Commerce and
Labor Departments said in joint report
that employment had risen by half
million during the previous month and
that unemployment had dropped by
100000. Furthermore, first quarter indices
of various kinds indicate that 1855 will set
new marks, or be close to the best previous
ones, for gross national product, corpora
ton earnings, individual income and nu-
merous other measurements of broad
prosperity. While there may be soft
spots" and centers of unemployment, it
will be difficult to attack on a Nation
rF,jH ho CD rnpnrN NJ
widely distributed prosperity. In fact, it
looks as if Mr. De Sapio and the Demo-
cratic Governors will have to seek some
better ground from which to attack the
President.
