The Star consistently urged
that the ward be put to use,

addicts in the hospital at any

Early this month The Star

Of reports, the last of which will go to
Congress this week, have dealt with the
touchy field of governmental policies,
especially those which tend to place
the Government in competition with
private industry. AS Mr.. Hoover ex-
pected, these new reports have become
subjects of controversy.
But the bipartisan character of the
commission and the prestige of its men,
bers assure careful consideration Of the
new series of reports, both in and out
of Congress. Mr.. Hoover's "able, fair
and patient leadership" as his fellow
members put it In a resolution of trib-
ute, has helped to give the proposed
reforms unusual weight. Mr.. Hoover
has made far-reaching contribution to
the improvement of the Federal Govern
ment-the beneficial effects of which will

People Want Peace

It Is bit startling to read that
Pravda, Communist Party organ, is sat-
is1ed that the American people want
peace, and that the real threat to peace
resides, not In the American people, but
In their government. Ones first reaction
Is: Where have I heard that before?"
The answer is easy. We have heard
the same thing-in reverse-many times
from our own spokesmen. The Russian
people, they say. want peace and not
war. It is from the Russian government
that the threat of war emerges.
This is state Of affairs which is
not without its hopeful aspect. It is
undoubtedly true that the people of both
countr.7s IS want peace. It is very probably
true Aat in this era of the H-bomb
neit'ler government really wants war,
for the men who comprise those govern
ments are intelligent enough to know
what a war would do to them and to
their respective countries. If this is the
case, the time may not be too far of
when we will stop saying that the Rus
sian government wants war, and when
the Russians will stop saying that our
Government wants war. In such a cli-
mate it is possible that the people finally
would have their way-that they would
live in this world together and not ami
hilate each other.

infallible. They must have

As Mr.. Hoover Bows Out

Former President Hoover has said
that the conclusion of the work OF the
Commission on Organization OF the
Executive Branch of the Government will
mark the end also of his career as
public servant. At 81, Mr.. Hoover is
entitled to retire once more from public
life. He can do so with the satisfaction
of knowing that, as head Of two COM
missions which have come to bear his
name, he has completed his part OF
task to which he had dedicated most
of his years as an "elder statesman
It remains for the Government itself TO
carry on the reorganization program
laid out by Mr.. Hoover and his two
groups Of associates. And one may hope
that even In his ''flnaT' retirement, the
former President will be available for
consultation and advice in furthering
the governmental reforms he has rec
commended with such persuasive logic
and urgency.
The voluminous reports Of the first
and second Hoover Commissions attest
the remarkable energy and thoroughness
of their chairman Under his leadership
the bipartisan members and dozens OF
task forces have delved into virtually
every phase of Government manage
ment and operations-and found many
of them wanting in efficiency. The first
commission was concerned mainly with
administrative improvements to elimi-

Comn1on-Sense Precautions

It would be wrong to assume that a
transit strike in Washington is newt
able. Every possible effort should be
made, and presumably is being made, to
avert city y-crippling shutdown of mass
transportation services. At the same
time, it would be imprudent not to pre-
pare to ease the impact of the blow, If it
should come. The parallel preventive
and preparedness measures undertaken
by the Commissioners are based on a
common-sense appreciation of realities.
Thus, while the District Government
continues its last-ditch efforts to bring
the divergent parties together for an
agreement prior to the Thursday mid
night contract deadline, police. traffic
and other authorities are making ready
to put the city on an emergency traffic
and parking basis. Fortunately, the 1851
four-day transit strike has supplied off,
cialS with some experience in handling
a major crisis of this kind. Since private
automobiles must bear an extra share OF
the burden of transportation during a
tieup of streetcars and buses, extra park
ing facilities must be found for them.
Rights of way used by streetcars will be
converted into parking strips and most
:curbside parking restrictions will be
lifted for the time being, under present
plans Car pools can help to relieve the
traffic and parking congestion-and such
group-riding practices should be en-
.couraged among Government and pri-
vate employees.
Even with all these precautions, the
effects of protracted cessation of
transit operations would be very serious.
However slim the chances of preventing
strike may appear to be, the combined
efforts of Federal conciliators, congress
sional groups and District officials to
settle the controversy between the Cap
ital Transit Company and its employees
ought to be carried on, and intensified,
to the very last hour.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

We have taken to screens
Of various materials, or to
louvres, or even awnings of
cloth or aluminium, but it re-
mains a question whether the
vines are not best, after all.
i II X \
How else, except with a vine,
can the watcher get such an
excellent array of insect life?
Just as one settles back, to
read or dream, here comes a
buzzer, straight out of the
vine. But the pleasant dim
ness, the half light, the glisten
of sunshine on the leaves, the
way they sometimes turn about
when rain is impending
What is better, in any gar
den?
We tend to deprecate the
vines, realizing what a nui-
sance they can become, but
perhaps we do them wrong,
with no particular intention Of
harming their reputation.
The fault, If there is any In
so pleasant a happiness as
home gardening, lies in the
owner, not the things owned.
If certain vines grow all
over the place." that is no
fault Of theirs; the essence of
growth and vigor instilled into
them in the beginning, far
away there in Asia, land Of
mystery, still lies in their
f1bers, and is responsible for
their turning this small bit
of America into a jungle for
the time being.
We deal with faraway
things when we take to the
vines. The Orient loved the
morning glory first, and it is
said that a Japanese artist
can get more happiness out
of one single morning glory
flower than the average Amer
ican can from a whole bowl
full.
We hope nobody so fortunate
as to have vines of any kind
will go to the trouble of cut
ting them for vases. The vase.
we believe, has been much
overdone. Some people grow
flowers, evidently, only to cut
them. AL such should have
cutting gardens. and leave
their main display alone.
The vase has It's place, on a
table, mainly, but 1t should
contain few flowers at any
time: the remainder are best
left IN the yard.
Effective vase arrangements
depend mostly on centering
the looking attention on few,
rather than many: on making
the American love for num-
bers succumb to the universal
knowledge that art does not
depend upon quantity, but
solely upon quality. II q SIM
pie vine can make us realize
this. it has added both to our
knowledge and to our love Of
beauty.
