The Real Whipping Boy

We hope there will be no dog-in-the-
manger tactics by National City Lines,
adding even more complications to the
transit mess.
There may be no valid reason to antic-
ipate such tactics. But time grows
shorter by the day. There is not much
of it left. If National City Lines can
meet the criteria established by the Com
misSioners for a franchise, it should say
so, and quickly. If not, it should with
draw from the field and permit other
qualified bidders to close deal.
On Wednesday afternoon the Senate
and House conferees, in charge of transit
legislation, evidently thought they were
telling National City Lines it had failed
to qualify as a purchaser of Capital
Transit, for its franchise terms were I'M
acceptable. The conferees also thought
Capital Transit's Board of Directors,
taking this cue, would consider its con-
tract with National City void, and sign up
with somebody else. For Capital TranSit'S
contract to sell its property to National
City is conditioned on National CityS
ability to obtain franchise.
Neither Capital Transit, on advice
of counsel, nor National City, which has
put its cash on the barrel head, saw it
that way. National City wants to con-
slider whether to amend its terms for a
franchise and make another proposal to
the Commissioners. They say they are
in no hurry. If they are acting in good
faith, however, they will hurry.
Representative Oren Harris, who has
been making determined fight to avoid
public ownership, is UNDERSTANDABLE ex-
aSperated over continued delay. He is
threatening Capital Transit with the con-
sequences of a public authority bill if
Capital Transit does not void its contract
with National City and sign up with an
other bidder. We doubt that Capital
Transit stands to lose much either way
either by sale of its properties to private
purchaser, or by having its property con-
demned in Government seizure. The
people who are really being threatened
are the local taxpayers, who will pay
through the nose for public ownership
and get nothing except new headaches
In return.
We repeat the hope that National
City Lines will meet conditions for pur-
chase of the transit property and oper-
alton of the service, or get out of the
picture. These are reasonable alterna-
tiVes. But if there is more delay, the
taxpayers of this city should not be made
the whipping boy, to suffer for the in
credible stupidities of officialdom that
have marked this dismal business since
its beginning.

School Board Choices

There is ample reason to believe that
the new appointees to the Board of Edu-
cation-Carl C. Smuck and. Mrs. Ruth B.
Spencer-are well qualified for this diff
f1cult assignment.
Mr.. Smuck is vice president of the
Perpetual Building Association. He has
had an extensive business background in
AnacoStia, and has been active in YMCA
work. Mrs. Spencer is former teacher
and has been prominent in Negro civic
work. While both are strangers to the
administrative side of public education.
they have the experience and the back
ground to make significant contribution
in this new role. 1t is our belief that their
selection, together with the reappoint-
ment of DR.. Rowland F. Kinks, should
help the School Board meet its reSpon-
sibilities during an undeniably difficult
period in public education in Washington.
In this connection, it would be remiSS
not to extend word of appreciation to
the District Court judges who made these
selections. Theirs is difficult and time
consuming task. That they have been
able to come forward with new appointees
as well qualified as Mr. Smuck and Mrs.
Spencer abundantly testifies to the care
and patience with which the judges have
discharged their own responsibility.

Legislative Absurdity

The workmen's compensation bill be-
fore the House is legislative absurdity,
insofar as the District is concerned. The
primary purpose of the bill is to raise
compensation rates for disabled long
Shoremen and other harbor workers. But,
like the law which it would amend, it
would apply similar rates to all civilian
workers in Washington, without regard to
the nature of their Jobs.
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee is thoroughly justified
in seeking to remove the District of
Columbia from the bills jurisdiction
and to provide the citys workers with a
workpen'S compensation law designed
especially to cover their needs The only
reason District workers were included in
the original Longshoremen's and Harbor

'Horricum' Heads Home

Together with his wife, Harry S.
Truman is on his way home now after
their visit to Europe. Judging from his
own remarks, he has enjoyed every
minute of the trip, with the possible
exception of that one-day teapot tempest
caused by his off-the-cuff comment on
"squirrel-head" generals. Despite his
years, he still has an enviable capacity
for getting kick out of life, and it is
pleasing to know that he has had really
good time of it playing the role of tourist,
relaxed and more or less carefree amid all
the Old Worlds wonderful sights and
sounds and hiStory-laden atmosphere.
But he has been no ordinary tourist,
of course. As our former President-the
perSonification of Americas leadership of
the free world during years of great peril
he has been marked man wherever
he has gone. No matter how much he may
have wished to escape the limelight, he
has been officially entertained, and he
has been moved to speak out-which he
has done eloquently-in behalf of con-
tinuing Western unity and strength. In
addition, he has been accorded such
formal and well-merited honors as a
degree from oxford University, where he
has been hailed as "Truest of allies Y. :.
and ever pattern of simple courage"
Above all, however, it is in an informal
sense, and on mass scale, that Euro
peans have paid tribute to him. They
have done so with spontaneous cheers
loud and affectionate enough to make
clear that they're still wild about Harry
over there.
For his own part, Mr.. Truman has
responded to all this with that warm
human touch, an appealing down-to-
earth simplicity, that is SO much part of
his character And throughout his travels,
wholly aside from enjoying himself as
tourist, he has rendered excellent service
to our country as goodwill ambassador
If he can find the time, he should make
more such trips abroad. Meanwhile, as he
heads homeward, he can be sure that
lot Of Americans look forward to having
him back again, especially those among
us who expect him to play an interesting
role in the forthcoming Democratic Ma
tional Convention,

Cases of immortality have
been treated far too lightly to
the extent that our young
people are getting the idea
that they can get away with
anything. One recent case of
rape. the case of the seven
men raping a widow, is clear
evidence that rape is not con-
sidered a crime by people in
general. Many a decent girl
has had her chances for hap
pinesS ruined by being the
victim in such instances. Is
this not a type of murder?
AS the law requires the
stiffest of penalties for taking
life. shouldn't it even more SO
require the limit in penalties
for leaving a victim in a per-
petual state of diShonor?
These men should be made an
example of which the country
will not easily forget.
There is no more distinct
mark between man and beast,
civilized and uncivilized, sacred
and profane. than that which
holds sex to be sacred. Many
women are compelled to be on
the streets at night without
escort. Due TO perpetual dan
gers, they resort to all man.

Well Done, for Nom

On June Is, my mother

less, as a school bus driver.

continued to my graduation
from high school. Every day.
rain or shine mother was my
constant chauffeur.
This job may be quite
ordinary, with hundreds of
parents taking their children
to and from school, but my
mother was the exception to
to the rule, and deserves all the
praise and admiration that
could ever be given her. NY
parents and other relatives
taught me at home, my min
lister and Sunday School
teachers taught me at church.
and my teachers taught me at
school, yet, I feel that those
short rides with mother taught
me a lot more than 1 could
learn in textbooks.
Her job is finished, but the
memories of these past II
years will live forever. Con-
gratulations mother. and
