The fates of Capital Transit, its
striking workers and thousands Of
footsore Washingtonians lay this
week end somewhere in a pile Of
papers on a desk at Gettysburg. Pa.
There, at his farm, President Eli
senhower was busying himself with
the legislation bequeathed him early
last week by the dying first session
of the 84th Congress. To become
laws the bills needed the Presidents
signature. That the great majority
of them would be signed into law
was unquestioned.
AS far as strike crippled Wash
ington was concerned, there was
great interest in what the President
would do with a bill damned
through Congress last Tuesday in
legislative effort to end the transit
walkout that began July l.
The measure, hastily-some said
carelessly-drawn, would effectively
turn over control of Capital Transit
to the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia. This might end the
strike, but there was serious ques-
ton whether it would end, or simply
begin, Washington's transit troubles.
Three Courses Open
Three courses lay open to the
President:
/. To sign the bill. thereby sign
ing the death sentence of Capital
Transit and possibly Of Local $50
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America tAFL).
2. To veto the bill. with or with
out comment, either because it is
legally defleient or is repugnant to
the Presidents general philosophy
of hands off business, or for some
other reason.
3. To "pocket-veto" the measure.
in accordance with Section Z, Ar
ticle I OF the Constitution; that is.
to prevent its becoming law simply
by failing to sign it before Au-
gust Is.
BY signing the measure, the
President would put the force
of the Government behind the
drive to get the cars and buses
running again, but might create
more problems than he would solve.
BY vetoing or pocket-vetoing 1t,
he might have to wait little longer
for negotiated settlement.
There was the possibility. re-
ported widely as the week ended.
that company and union would get
together on labor contract if they
could obtain some kind of assurance
that the measure would not become
law. But, of course, no one was
willing to get publicly involved in an
impudent effort to make a deal with
the President of the United States.
Certainly more important prob
lens were before the President than
whether streetcars should resume
operation in the Nations ninth
largest city. But it was part of his
job to decide. and he would need
the wisdom Of Solomon to make
the right decision.

tiers" between the two governments.
Despite repeated rumors inspired
by the Chinese that 40 Americans
they held would be released, there
was no public statement to this
effect from Geneva as the Review
went to press. Reports have 1t that
Ambassador Wang wanted two
things before giving up the 40:
. A poll of Chinese students in
America by a third party. probably
India. to verify United States claims
that all prefer to stay here.
. Some kind Of statement from
the United States that could be in
terpreted to mean all Chinese in
this country-even American citi-
zens by birth-owe allegiance to
Red China. There are about lit 900
persons Of Chinese ancestry In the
United States.
Ambassador johnson was, of
course, adamantly opposed to the
second proposal. He was also cool
toward the FIRST. But the United
States might allow some Indian
to interview any Chinese students
who care to submit themselves for
questioning. The State Depart
ment does not want to force Chi
nese to face anyone-even neutral
Indians-for any kind Of quiz.
American officials also want to
avoid implying they were kidding
when they said they had lifted all
restrictions on Chinese students
travel last January. Peiping still
claims thousands are being pre-
vented from leaving.
Higher Level ToIks
Chief "other practical matter"
expected to come up If the repatria-
ton issues are settled is setting of
a date for a fereign ministers con-
ference.
President Eisenhower last week
set two conditions Communist
China must satisfy before he will
agree to such a meeting between
John Foster Dulles and Chou En- -lai.
l. All American citizens held in
Red China against their will must
be released.
2. Peiping must give some con-
vincing evidence 1t intends to forgo
the use of force in 'liberating"
Formosa.
This week end the Peiping press
again limited Red China would be
willing to meet such pre-conditions.

sOURWoOD HAS MAGIC RING

Sourwood honey has a magic
ring when mentioned in the pres
ence of someone brought up in
the Alleghanies, says w. A..
Stephen, extension beekeeper at
State College.
"This light-colored honey has a
unique taste, exactly like the odor
of the bloom of the sourwood tree,
so if you can taste the smell of
the sourwood blossoms in the
honey, you may assume that it is
sourwood," explains Stephen.
He says that, fortunately, this
taste is quite pronounced so that
even if the bees gather nectar from
other sources, such as sumac, dur
ing the sourwood season, it is
quite possible to get honey with
sourwood flavor.
Not all light-colored honey is
sourwood, many people have found
to their sorrow. Stephen says fire.
quently people are fooled into pay
ing big price for honey adver-
tised as sourwood that is another
type of honey.
It's a good practice to ask to
smell or even taste the honey. If
satisfied that it is sourwood flavor,
go ahead and buy it, but first
apply the color test. Pure sour
wood honey is almost water white
and crystal clear, Stephen con-
cludes.
