with It. The reason for their animosity
toward It has never been clear, but the
net effect Of their position has been TO
make them seem enemies Of international
cooperation even in the wholly nom
political field Of fighting germs and
disease in an effort to improve the physi-
cal well-being of humanity.
But today all that Is reversed. For
Moscow's collective leadership" has sud-
denly discovered that WHO is doing
valuable work" and that therefore the
USSR wants to play an active role In It,
Very belated though 1t is, this Is well
come development. It fits in, of course,
with the new policy of Soviet amiability
and Soviet thaw In the cold war. As
suming that 1t Is sincerely motivated,
the free nations may regard 1t as another
encouraging indication of change for
the better in the Kremlin's way of doing
things. What must be hoped for now
is that the change Is not Just temporary
but that it will continue to go on in
manner-and with concrete deeds-that
will make possible genuine cooperation

not be wanted. In addition,
like many owners of property,
he raised his rents from $50
per month to $75 and more,
knowing Negroes are willing
to pay more to get living space
beyond the ghettoes.
The Russians did what most
white Americans do: They
moved away.
Instead of furthering the
cause of democracy, propa-
ganda of the Voice of America
boomeranged when thousands,
perhaps millions, learned for
the first time of the segrega-
ton and exclusion and rent
gouging practices of some
American landlords.
It was amusing to this writer
that one of the letter writer's
suggested by this incident
that I must have been shocked
by this action Of the Russians.
I don't like communism. but
I think as well Of Russian peo-
pie as I do of Negroes, Vir-
ginians, Mexicans or the Eng
lish. Unfortunately some Rus
slams like some Southerners

THE POLITICAL MILL ;,
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Electoral College Under New Attack

improve the method Of nomi-
mating candidates after the
1852 Republican and Demo-
cratic National Conventions.
Demands. too. that the old
electoral college be abolished.
The present move Of the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee, how
ever. has been the only posi-
tive action-and there is very
little reason to believe that
the House win fall in with
the Kefauver-Daniel consti-
tutional amendment. Repub-
lican leaders In the Hous.
took a dim view Of the ord
Lodge Gossett amendment
which is the same as the Ke-
fauver-Daniel proposal. They
figured that the Democrats
would have too great an ad-
vantage because of the huge
vote the Democrats could roll
up. and have rolled up. in the
States of the South.
Mundt Proposal
Senator Mundt and Mr..
Coudert believe that their
amendment would find support
in both House and Senate. It
is simple and easily understood
by any one who understands
how Senators and Representa-
tives are elected to Congress.
Senator Mundt maintains that
under this plan, the President
and the whole Congress would
have similar and parallel
pipelines" to and from the
voters. Both would be subject
to the same political forces and
in the same degree (but not
always, for in 1852 President
Eisenhower carried far more
congressional districts than
did the Republican Party.
Take a look at the popular
vote and the electoral" vote
by which Eisenhower won over
Stevenson in 1852, and at the
vote had the Kefauver-Daniel
and the Mundt-C Coudert plans
been in effect in that year. Mr..
Eisenhower received 33.666,06
popular votes and 442 electoral
votes-old style. Mr.. Steven
son received 27.314.987 popular
votes and SO electoral votes.
Under the Kefauver-Daniel
plan, Mr.. Eisenhower would
have, of course, the same pop
ular vote. But his electoral
vote would have been 281.57,
and Mr.. Stevenson's electoral
vote would have been 240.21.
with $40 electoral votes to
other candidates. Quite a
difference in the electoral vote.
Under the Mundt-C -Coudert
plan, Mr.. Eisenhower would
have received BIS electoral
votes to Mr.. Stevenson's 156.

Trouble on Route 24O

Gene Goodwln'S article in
The Star of July 8 points up
many loose practices by the
Maryland State Roads Com
mission in acquiring rights-of-
way for the relocation of Route
240 in the area between Gath
ersburg and Rockville. 1t is
indeed unfortunate that all of
the reports filed so far are
limited to the Gaithersburg-
Rockville area and also limited
to right-of-way plats filed by
the commission during 1854.
Most of the plats filed prior
to last year merely mention
whether the land acquired was
pasture or swamp and do not
indicate from whom the land
was purchased. Plats filed over
two years ago for the Clarks-
burg Germantown section do
not indicate the names of per-
sons selling to the commission.
Hence the commission has not
exposed itself to public scru-
tiny for all rightS-of way ac-
quisitions. This also applies to
the right-of-way plat for the
section north of Clarksburg
and possibly Frederick County.
A dismal failure of our
elected representatives at An
napolis to vote for a searching
and immediate investigation
of the State Roads Commission
should not be condoned by the
electorate. Legislation to pre-
vent the reckless use Of public
money in acquiring rights-of-
way for highway construction
should be enacted Immediately.

The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee has placed on the Sem
ate's calendar a joint resolu-
ton amending the Constitution
so the electoral college viii
no longer exist and the cleo
toral vote Of each State will be
divided between the candi-
dates for President in the
same proportion as the pop
ular vote for the candidates
in each individual State.
Sponsored by Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee, Senator
Daniel of Texas and 18 other
Senators, the resolution Is
identical with the Lodge-Gos-
sett proposed amendment to
the Constitution, which the
Senate passed in the 81st Con-
gress-but which was sunk in
the House at that time.
For years now, efforts to
eliminate the electoral college
and to elect Presidents and
Vice-Presidents in some other
fashion have been made with
out avail. The proposals have
run all the way from direct
election of Presidents and
Vice Presidents-with State
lines obliterated in the count
to the resolution now reported
and known as the Kefauver-
Daniel resolution. Senator
Mundt, South Dakota Repub-
lican, and Representative Cou-
dert. New York Republican.
have introduced an important
variation of the Kefauver-
Daniel resolution. It will be
offered as a substitute when
ever the Kefauver-Daniel res
olution is called up for con-
sideration. The Mundt-Cou-
dert amendment proposes
the abolition of the unit-vote
method, by which Presidents
and Vice Presidents have been
elected and will be elected, in
all probability, next year.
Under the old method, the
candidate who has a majority
Of the popular vote of a State,
no matter how small a ma
jority, takes the total electoral
vote of the State. Senator
Mundt and Mr.. Coudert would
have the presidential electors
chosen by congressional dis
tricts, except that two electors
are to be chosen in each State,
as Senators are elected.

every four years-there has
been widespread denuncia-
ton of the manner in which
Presidents and their running
mates have been nominated
and elected.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

At other times of the year
there are other problems to
be met and solved, but in
spring and summer 1t is nest
ing. Ra, Al.
~
So what does our honest
mother robin do?
She is upset by the nest
being moved, but finally sees
it and probably smells it as
her own.
So she investigates, and II
nobody is around, she takes
up where she left off.
We believe that 1t is the
presence of human beings that
really makes the difference.
There is no law laid down
for birds; as humans. they do
the best they can, at the time.
What happens. with them as
with us. depends upon a vari-
ETY. of factors too great to be
incorporated into a single
saying.
Consider, not the lilies Of
the field. but one particular
nesting habit.
There is a swallow that for
centuries made a nest on cliffs.
In that situation, the nest
materials were inconspicuous.
But then Europeans invaded
North America and took 1t
over.
In time. there came bridges.
Many of them were white.
The birds thought the
bridges were cliffs, evidently.
because they went right ahead
and plastered their nests on
the sides.
They used, of course, their
old nesting materials. which.
instead of blending with the
site. made the nest stand out
so that all enemies could see it
easily.
These swallows, evidently,
know nothing of camoufiage.
They 60 right ahead in the
ancestral pattern, as If Moth
ing had been changed. Cliff
to bridge. what difference did
that make to them?
They we're. indeed. so hu-
man, that one sees again the
relationship between birds and
men, and knows Of a certainty
that what either one does. at
any given time, depends upon
the individual or individuals
involved. Life. in other words.
is not summed up in few old
country sayings. Life. for either
birds or men, is not as easy as
that.
