Voices Mission

According to an Associated
Press report from Moscow,
published in The Star Septem-
ber 6, Senator Malone Of Me-
vada, after having spent five
days in the Soviet capital. told
newsmen that the United
States should get rid Of its
Voice of America because "it
has not whipped the Soviet
people to the point of revolu-
tion."
This statement is naive and
wrong. The Voice Of America
has never intended to evoke
a revolution in the USSR, be-
cause its responsible officials
realize that a revolution
against Communist tyranny in
the USSR. without simultane-
Gus foreign intervention, would
be put down with much blood
shed. The United States Gov
ernment, not being prepared
for intervention. the Voice has
carefully avoided encourage
ment of the Soviet dominated
peoples to such desperate steps.
Immediately after World War
II, there was active resistance
by the Ukrainian insurgent
army against the Soviet Rus
sian colossus. but being left
alone they were smashed by
Soviet military might. and
heavy toll was taken in human
lives.
What the Voice has been do
ing is combating the lies of
the Soviet propaganda about
America and familiarizing the
Soviet people with conditions
of life under democracy. 1t
must be said that in this re-
gard 1t has had much success.

that ITO children we're killed and 50,020
injured while running from behind
parked vehicles. A total Of 480 were
killed and 81 $40 injured while at play In
the streets. Safety experts believe that
many of these boys and girls would have
escaped death or injury II drivers had
been more alert, especially in areas where
children could be seen either on sidewalks
or the street. Since children are unpre-
dictable, drivers should proceed under
such circumstances with extreme care.
It is small comfort to motorist whose
car has hit child to know that the vic
tim should not have been playing in the
street. AS Traffic Director Keneipp has
pointed out in an "alert" to drivers, the
opening of school marks the opening of
the danger season for all who drive in
cities or towns. You may save a minute
of driving time at the cost of some
youngsters life.

Air Power and Speed

Speed achievements Of Air Force
supersonic Super-Sabre jet fighters logi-
cally claimed the headlines at the Bendix
air races. The faster -than-Sound fighters
not only won the cross-country dash but
a sister ship was revealed to have set
recently the first official supersonic speed
record, 822.l35 miles an hour These ex-
ploits drew public attention from another
remarkable speed achievement by an AT
combat plane, the BAT medium bomber
It may be assumed, however, that the
demonstrated swiftneSs of our big jet
atomic-era raider was noted carefully
by Russian observers at the races in
Philadelphia.
The Super -Sabres and the Bats did
not compete for speed honors, although
both made cross-country fights on the
same day. But it is fair to say that had
the fighters and bombers been in direct
competition the Bats would have given
good account of themselves. For one of
them averaged 589.29 miles an hour for
the trip from March Air Force Base, in
Riverside, California, to Philadelphia.
The best time, later in the day, for a
Super-Sabre over a similar course was
610.73 miles an hour. This comparison
is not to belittle the capabilities of the
fighter ship but, rather, to stress the
amazing potentialities of the BAT. When
1t is considered that the fighter made the
trip at speed only 21 miles an hour
faster than that of the bomber, some
conception of the BATS Importance in
our defense plans can be gained. Such
small speed differential would seriously
handicap an enemy fighter in an attack
on our speedy bomber.
OF course, there is no room for COM
placency In our contest with foreign
powers for air supremacy. The Russians
may have faster fighters and faster
bombers. Certainly they are not far be-
hind us-if behind at all-in guided
missile development. And guided mis-
siles, eiectronically controlled and self
aiming, might be too much for even the
fastest fighter planes Such demonstra-
tions as those featured at the National
Air Show recently prove the value Of
persistent research and development. To
let up In such studies and tests would
be an open invitation to disaster.

Controlling the Potomac
WASHINGTON has AM intere

Washington has an interest in plans
for keeping the Potomac River under con-
troll in its upper reaches. We who live
along the river in it's tidal waters are
ahected by the condition of the Potomac
far upstream. It is right that we should
be concerned about domestic and COM
mercial contamination above us-and by
natural contamination due to erosion. It
Is reassuring, therefore, to know that the
Upper Potomac River Board and the
Interstate Commission on the Potomac
River Basin are considering an erosion
and food-control program.
At joint meeting this week pro-
posal to control high-water runoffs by a
system OF strategically placed dams in the
upper valley was discussed The dam
project was backed by group of industry
representatives. Commercial interests in
the basin already have been under heavy
pressure from the Interstate Commission
and from State agencies to reduce the
amount of industrial waste dumped into
the Potomac and its tributaries. The
stretch Of river in the Luke-C Cumberland
area has become so poisoned with such
waste, including mine acids, that Ash
cannot live there.
Silt from eroded uplands meanwhile
is carried down the river at flood time
and deposited at Washington's doorstep
in fantastic amounts. Chairman Julian
Patrick Of the Upper Potomac River
Board, an engineer. has estimated that
the average annual mud load at Wash
ington Is is million tons The silt tends
to obstruct the flow Of water and offers
q habitat for germs from sewage and
other pollution. Adequate food control
farther up the river would help to correct
this situation. The program Is worth
careful study by Federal, State and local
authorities.

DANGER Ahead

This is the time of year when trafhc
and safety authorities issue their annual
warnings to motorists that danger turks
in every school zone. Caution signs,
school patrolmen and traffic police have
combined in recent years to reduce the
number of accidents in the immediate
vicinity of schools and Fairgrounds. But
hazards still remain for children outside
of the safety zones, as last years accident
statistics show. Analysis of serious acci-
dents involving pedestrians should help
drivers to avoid accidents sometimes re-
ferred to as unavoidable"

Leqion Attacks Fund

The American people would be well
advised to reserve judgment on the attack
which Seaborn P. Collins national COM
mander OF the American Legion, has made
on the Fund for the Republic.
The fund, headed by DR.. Robert M.
Hutchins, former president of the Uni
versity of Chicago. operates with SIS
million grant from the Ford Foundation.
1t is an independent agency, however, and
is not subject to control or direction by
the foundation.
Mr.. Collins says that DR.. Hutchins
and the fund are Threatening and may
succeed in crippling the national secu-
rity." He adds that lone apparent line
of attack is to attempt to persuade
Americans that communism is not, and
never has been, serious threat to the
United States"
Since supporting evidence is not cited,
these accusations must be put down as
improved generalitieS. As an expression
of opinion, they may be within the realm
Of legitimate public debate. It is impor-
tant to remember, however, that Mr..
Collins opinions do not necessarily con-
form to the facts.
The fairest attitude toward the Fund
for the Republic is to await the fruits Of
its works. There is some language in its
report Of last May which presumably gave
rise to Mr.. Collins suspicious. For ex-
ample, the report says that "a political
party In this country (the Communist
Party has been. identified with the
enemy Those associated with this party
have therefore come under suspicion as
an imminent danger to the state" An
other sentence taken from the report
says that "the range of suspected persons
has been enormously extended by resort
to guilt by association" Still another
contends that ga kind of continuous
propaganda and social pressure has been
kept up that has tended to suppress con-
scientious nonconformity"
It is possible to read into such Ian
guage, as Mr.. Collins evidently has done,
a suggestion Of sympathy for the Com
munist line. But 1t is well to note that
the report also says that the Fund for
the Republic 'takes no position on these
matters, beyond affirming It's faith in the
principles upon which our Government
Is founded. - The funds stated position
is that the American people, who will
have to take position on these matters,
should be adequately informed about
them, and the funds object is to "help
supply the requisite information"
The proof of this pudding will come
when 1t is eaten. The net result of the
funds effort may turn out to be left-wing
propaganda for a left-wing point of view.
Or it may turn out to be constructive
contribution to better understanding
of the nature of civil liberties and the
threat to them. So let's wait and see
what comes Of this $15-million
investment.

THE POLITICAL MILL
mo Answer Yet From Eisenhower
By GOULD LINCOLN

White House. The country
determined that there should
be no more four-term, or three
term elections. But it made
clear it believed that q Presi-
dent should have eight years
in which to carry out a pro-
gram-and that four years
might well be too brief q period
for such an achievement.
Not Retreating
The President. it was clear
from his talk to the State
chairmen, is not retreating
from his campaign. His quota
ton from Lincoln's Gettysburg
address is clue enough to that.
Lincoln said, concluding his
address "tl1at government of
the people, by the people and
for the people shall not perish
from the earth" President
Eisenhower's comment on what
"of the people" means was that
it does not mean "a govern
ment Of farmers. of labor
bosses, Of smart politicians. Of
businessmen or Of anybody
else"
"It means" said the Pres
ident "a government Of all
types and classes Of people,
regardless of race or color or
religion or everything else that
tends to separate us in our
social and ordinary lives"
In a measure, this is an
answer to the new campaign
slogan of Adlai Stevenson,
Democratic candidate for
President in 1852 and candi-
date presumptive in 1856. Mr..
Stevenson, in an effort t. stir
up class hatreds, called the
Eisenhower administration q
government Of the rich, by the
rich and for the RICH" It is a
play to convince the working
man his interests are to be
made superior to others, If and
when the Democrats are re-
turned to power, with Mr..
Stevenson as President.
Mr.. Eisenhower expressed
his gratitude to the Republic
can State chairmen for their
telegram to him, which was
interpreted by the chairmen
as an appeal to Mr.. Eisen-
hover to run again. The tele-
gram said: 1--WE like Ike better
than ever" The Presidents
reply was he liked the Re
publican Party better than
ever.
The President, it is evident,
will not say what his plans
are until next year. Why
should he? Presidents don't,
as a rule, announce their can
didacy for another term a year.
in advance. Certainly Frank
lin D. Roosevelt didn't. Nor did
President Truman announce
he would not run until March,
1852.

Pres1de ent EiSenhower's
speech to the Republican State
chairmen who visited him Sat-
urday in Denver has been gone
over with a fine-tooth comb to
find an answer to the question:
"Will he run?" The President
was not answering that ques-
ton. Indeed, it had been an
nounced at the summer White
House in advance Of the ar
rival of the State chairmen
that he would not answer 1t.
It is clear. therefore. he was
not saying he would decline
to stand for reelection.
The President did deal, how
ever. with a theme on which
he feels strongly-that there
should be no indispensable
man. AS a military man. he
was fully cognizant that death
might remove q commander at
any time There should always
be a qualified man to take his
place. The same holds true for
civilian leaders. However, this
theory of the President does
not mean that a successful
military commander-or civil
ian leader-should retire from
command or leadership half
way through a cam p aign
simply because q qualified as
sistant may be available.
Campaign for Peace
Mr.. Eisenhower undertook,
when he agreed to run for
President in 1852. to lead q
campaign for peace In the
world and a return to American
ideals of Government - away
from socialistic policies with
big government in Washing
ton dominating the country.
He has made strides toward
success in this campaign. It
will not be ended, however,
next year, nor at the close of
his first term in the White
House in January. 1857. It is
unthinkable he would retreat
from leadership at that point
for any other reason except
serious i'll health.
The President has never said.
and it was never suggested
when he became a candidate
for the presidency in 1852, he
intended to serve only one
four-year term in the White
House. He has never said he
believed that a President should
have only one term. The Con-
stitution has been amended so
that two termS-if he can get
them-is the maximum tenure
Of Office for any President. 1t
was so amended after the late
President Franklin d. Roose-
velt-who apparently. had no
such ideas about "indispensa-
bility" as those Of Mr.. Eisen-
hower-had been elected to

little success. But In the at
tempt. they make nuisances Of
themselves to the family.
The most pointed way for a
bee or wasp to bring itself to
your attention is to sting you
where it hurts. and this is
almost everywhere.
Often the creature loses it's
life. but it does draw ones
attention. and rather vividly.
From then on. q wasp or bee
is not Just an insect. but some
thing that one may fear, and
what one fears, one respects,
usually at least to some degree.
WaspS are in their last stage
now, early autumn killing of
all but a few, which retire to
attics and under cornices of
houses, to spend the cold
months, then to return briefly
for a bit more of life in the
spring.
1t is always a marvel, how
wasps manage to get into well
screened houses, or into attics
where there seem to be no
openings. But when we find
that bats, much fatter crea-
lures, enter the same lofts
almost at will, we no longer
wonder how the wasps do it.
There is no need to crush
every bee and wasp that gets
into a house. They only sting
as a last resort, which means
when you touch them. So
touch them with a large tur-
kish towel, placing the towel
over them and then collect
ing it into a bundle, loosely.
Take the towel, with the in
closed bee, to the front door,
and open the cloth gently.
There will be no need to fear
being stung. for here once
again instinct protects you;
the creatures implanted ac-
ton is to fly away as fast as
as he can, once he touches the
outside air. No human, per-
haps, can ever understand
what outside air, as con-
trasted with inside air, means
to an animal, a bird or an
insect.
Indoor air, as humans know
it, must be vile stuff In the
nostrils of the pure, creatures
of nature. Air conditioning,
indeed! The bees and the
birds had it for centuries, un-
til the smoke and pollutions
Of mankind depraved it. They
had real air conditioning. and
today they sicken and die in
doors. Those who put them
out, even in the cold, do bet
ter than those who slay them
for any honest insect would
rather die outdoors, we are
sure. than live a few paltry
weeks inside q modern home.

Defense Economies

In attacking the administration s
desire to reduce defense spending by 81
billion or more during the current fiscal
year, several distinguished critics have
warned that any such cut would be dan
gerous. AS they see it, it would sacrifice
national security merely for the sake Of
trying to bring the Federal budget into
balance. And if that is right, If the pro-
posed economizing would really have that
effect, then they are on sound ground
In vigorously opposing the whole project
But there is some reason to believe
that the critics have taken an exaggerated
view OF what the administration con-
templates. According to Acting Defense
Secretary Robertson, there is simply mo
factual basis" for the fear that currently
approved military programs are to be
subjected to drastic cuts. There will be
a special effort to make the "housekeep-
ing" economies recommended by the
Hoover Commission, and the Air Force
may be obliged to do considerable trim
ming-more so than the other services
But Mr.. Robertson has been at pains to
AAoAOU 1Ah0I CAAClC Will Dc IlO spectacular
reductions of sort that could be harmful
to our national security, and the same
assurance has been emphatically voiced
by Admiral Radford, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Further, it
seems hardly likely that President Eli
senhower-after having cautioned the
American people against taking peace
for granted or being overoptimistic
about the Geneva spirit"-would advo-
cate the projected savings If they would
indeed have the effect Of weakening our
country's defensive posture.
Accordingly, there appears to be
little or no reason for alarmist interpre-
tations. After all, assuming that the
administration succeeds in making the
proposed cut, we still will spend some s34
billion on defense in fiscal 1956-an
amount of money that looks vast enough
to insure that the Nation will continue
to have tremendous military strength.
BY way of contrast, the contemplated
economies seem altogether modest, and
1t is difficult to see how they can under
mine our security.
