Templeton Jones has come
to the conclusion that little
lawn mower is best.
For years he had been
struggling along with a wide.
heavy one. True, 1t would cut
more grass in a given time.
But it meant pushing more
weight.
Now Jones gets the smallest,
narrowest, lightest mower he
can find.
He walks more, but it is
aeasier walking, and more
pleasant.
After all, walking is sup
posed to be good for you,
isn't it?
That's what the experts say,
and Templeton Jones, along
with the rest of America, be-
lieves in experts.
An expert, he says, Is any
body who has written twice on
the same subject.
The average Americans re-
lance on and trust in experts
would be pathetic, If it were
not noble.
Any one who is an expert
can tell him something, and
he will believe it.
Let one of his associates,
who happens to know the same
thing, tell him, and he will
not believe a word of 1t.
An educational degree makes
him bow his head in reverence.
It is not for nothing that
young men by the hundred
thousand seek their masters
and PHI. d. degrees.
They mean something. be-
cause of this trait in Ameri-
cans.
See Jones. with his little
lawn mower. going UP and
down, up and down the rows.
He takes longer, but says 1t
is good exercise.
The danger from moving
the lawn, he says, lies not in
the heat of the day. nor the
time spent walking, but in the
muscular effort put forth to
handle an 18-inch mower.
Now he uses the cheapest,
which usually means the mar
rowest, and says his health is
improving day by day In every
way.
Why not get a gasoline
mower, and be done with it?
Templeton Jones is, frankly,
afraid of them.
He has read about so many
persons getting their toes cut

Welcome, but

1t is good sign, as far as 1t goes, that
Red China has freed and "deported" four
of the Is American airmen who have been
held captive over there for more than two
years past. AS the President has suggested,
the Peiping Communists apparently want
the action to be regarded as token Of
their desire to reduce tensions, and to that
extent-even though it has been made
grudgingly- gesture is certainly well
come one.
But Peiping. in doing this, has made
just start on righting the great wrong
it has done. For the wrong applies not
merely to the four released fighter pilots
against whom accusations were only re-
Gently invented), but also to those II other
American flyers still imprisoned in China
on the basis of what the State Department
has branded as "trumped-up" espionage
charges. Actually, all of these men-cap-
tured in full uniform after having been
shot down while on legitimate United
Nations Command missions during the Ko-
rean war-should have been set free long
ago. The prisoner provisions of the Pan
munjom truce leave no room for doubt
about that.
Accordingly, the fact that only four
of them have been set free means that
Peiping has yet to purge itself of this major
armistice violation. And so what must be
hoped for now is that U. N. Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskj jold-whose efforts in
this matter, together with those of Prime
Minister Nehru and others, well deserve
our country's thanks-will somehow be
able to persuade the Chinese Communists
to agree to the early release of the II
airmen they continue to hold If they do
that. then they will at least be belatedly
honoring their prisoner-of-war obligations.
Such development, of course, would
not constitute an act Of magnanimity, but
it would have the effect of undoing some of
the evil. Further, especially If coupled
with decision to free the Al American
civilians still wrongfully detained in Red
China, it would serve as evidence that
Peiping is not entirely unaware of the ele-
mentary rules of decent and Just interna-
tional conduct Certainly, If Mao TIE
tung and Chou En-lai are genuinely inter-
ested in easing Sino-American tensions,
this is the kind of line they should follow.

Joint Chiefs Setup

In reference to Doris Flee

think by having Admirals

tas There can be no valid dissent from
President Eisenhower's view that Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States should believe IN the same basic
PHILOSOPHERS of government. In discuss
ing the question at his news conference,
Mr.. Eisenhower portrayed very clearly the
''chaos" that could result between elections
II power were to be transferred, because of
q Presidents death, to a successor of rad
ically different philosophy. It would, as
Mr.. Eisenhower said, require complete
change of cabinet and redirection Of
policies. The effect, seemingly, would be
to take from the electorate the very type
of government it had chosen at the polls.
Perhaps even more important, how
ever, is the matter of harmony between
these two officials while both are in har-
ness Mr.. Eisenhower again expressed his
opinion that the Vice President Should
never be nonentity =. he should be
used he should. have very useful
job" Certainly Mr. Eisenhower has ap-
piled this philosophy toward Vice President
Nixon, calling upon the latter for impor-
tant haison work on Capitol Hill and as
signing him to several special missions in
the international field. In doing so, he
has made clear his high opinion of and his
confidence in Mr.. Nixon Theirs has been
an example of the teamwork which the
President feels is so essential in these
times, and which has marked his own
method of operation both in military and
political life.
AS for the political implications of Mr..
Eisenhower's remarks it is not news that
he thinks highly of Mr.. Nixon. 1t seems
fair to assume that if he runs again him
self, he would be happy to have Mr.. Nixon
on the ticket second time. But whether
he intends to run, or whether he would
accept another running mate of the same
philosophy are still unanswered questions.

Vaccine Farce

AS the parent OF a first
grader in the Fairfax County
public schools, I feel that
someone should speak up for
the amazing job done for our
children by the Polio Founda-
ton, the vaccine manufactur-
ers and our public school
authorities throughout the
country.
Looking through the smoke
screen of the news dispatches,
and the speeches of our Fed
eral oficeholders, isn't this
the true story?
Private philanthropy, scien-
tific research, doctors, nurses,
manufacturers, State and
local officials, teachers and
parents had done an amazing
job without the aid of the
Federal Government.
But one factor had been
overlooked. Not a single Fed
eral off1ceholder in Washington
had gotten or could expect to
get a single vote from the polio
vaccine program as it was
being administered.
Someone in Government
had blundered. The people
had been permitted to "do it
themselves"
The White House made its
bid with the announcement
that the Government would
give the know-how of the vac
cine to all the world.
Then Congressman remem-
bered the poor children who
might not get the vaccine
Probably no organization in
the United States less deserved
such criticism than the Polio
Foundation and its program.
Always it had looked after the
needs Of the poor.
Then came the press. The
wires did not carry the word.
mot a single child in the State
of Maryland has developed
polio after receiving vaccine"
On the contrary, we got this
type of news: .'Son of famous
Texas surgeon develops polio
after receiving vaccine shot"
The wire services fed to the
people every single case of
polio in the entire United
States. one by one.
Then came the Federal Gov
ernment to save our children
and to get our votes. Vaccine
manufacture and distribution
was halted. In Virginia, where
only two cases had developed
tmuch less than normaD we
were told to wait until our
safety was protected - by
Washington. Our vaccine
would be rechecked. Was
there ever such a farce?
Then the professional advo-
Gates of Federal control Joined
the politicians. We may now
look forward to new Federal
agency, more Federal control.
more Federal taxes, complete
equality for every child-but
no second shots Of vaccine
presumably not until after the
next election,

For some time now ! have
been uneasy about the Salk
vaccine and the way it was
ballyhooed to us parents. ]
feel that not enough testing or
experimentation was done on
the vaccine before giving it to
our children.
1t seems unfair for people to
start blaming the President
and Mrs. Hobby for the way
the program has been handled.
