Sensible Chance

The State Departments decision to
schedule the arrival here of distinguished
visitors to coincide with the luncheon
hour rather than the closing hour Of
Federal departments and business houses
Is sensible one. The change should re-
suit In more impressive welcoming cere-
monies and less trafflc confusion.
The policy in the past has been to
arrange the visits to Washington Of
royalty or other foreign dignitaries so
that homeward-bound Government en-
ployes and other persons would be on
the streets when the professions passed.
Many Of the employees, however, have
preferred to hurry to their cars or buses
and leave the city, rather than contend
with the traffic jams or detour routes
marking such parades. Sometimes the
exodus of workers has been in serious
conflict with the arrival of the guests.
Police and trafic officials share the belief
Of the State Department that the noon
hour reception plan will assure larger
welcoming crowds with a minimum Of
traf11c dificulties. The net effect will be
to create better impression for visitors
than has been gained by some yIPs in
the past.

more: modest bond plan, calling for q
S4,s75, 900 school construction program.
Apparently the chief criticism Of the
latest bond proposal Is that 1t calls for
too large an outlay. Opponents so far
have not disputed the Statements that
more money will be required to complete
the building program begun some years
ago. But the Chamber. of Commerce and
other critics Of the plan have argued that
the program should be restricted to cal
culated needs OF the immediate future,
not to estimated needs for the so-called
peak year Of 1862.
School officials are doing good job
Of answering any and all questions as
to the merits of the $9.4-million bond
plan. A large expenditure is involved
that will affect future tax bills-but Ar
lington's taxpayers have demonstrated
their willingness to pay for any improve
ments that can be shown to be really
needed.

Deciding the Bond Issue

1t would be regrettable If Arlington's
$9.4-million bond referendum for schools
were to be decided on extraneous issues
rather than on the merits Of the con-
struction program. Unfortunately, the
bond proposal is being put before the
voters in the midst of current contro-
versies over such collateral school mat
ters as integration, elected versus
appointed school boards and service by
Federal employees on such boards. And

comedies with the election of Arlington's
delegate to the convention called under
the Gray Plan, although there is no
relation between the two.
..Arlington's citizens since 1947 have
approved school bond issues totaling
about $40 million. Only once have they

Stocks to Wotch

The level of durable goods inventories
In manufacturers hands Is considered
one of the revealing indices Of business
activity-present and future. AS of last
January /, according to the Commerce
Department, this stood at 1858 billion
only shade below the high mark of
$265 billion at the end of 1883 The COM
parison is interesting because the 1858
peak was followed by letdown in bust
ness activity as industry during the fol-
lowing six or eight months worked of
some of its surplus stocks. The question,
then, is whether today's high level calls
for period Of breath-catching.
Like all indices, this one is not in
fallible in its meaning. There is reassur-
ance, for example, in the fact that sales
climbed more rapidly last year than the
10 per cent appreciation of inventories.
Furthermore, the current inventory total
is heavily weighted with automobiles of
countless colors and styles, while the
supply of other hard goods" more closely
matches current demand. And the auto
mobile makers already have announced
cutbacks in their 1855 production-per-
haps enough to keep their own industry
on an even keel and still profitable. In
short, the fair inference is that the in
ventory level may be warning sign, but
1t does not necessarily spell trouble. !,

A Veto Worth Cheering

President Eisenhower has made
completely right decision in vetoing the
natural gas bill. He could hardly have
done otherwise on grounds OF either
principle or practical politics. For 1t
seems clear, as he has written in his mes
sage to Congress, that forces favoring the
legislation-force consisting of at least
"a very small segment" of the industry
involved-have resorted to highly ques-
tionable" and even arrogant" efforts In
behalf Of the measure.
This has been plainly indicated by
the revelation made by Senator Case OF
South Dakota Of the $2,500 Campaign
contribution proffered to him by Ne
braska lawyer representing California
oil company keenly interested in the bills
adoption Perhaps the prefer was alto
gether exceptional and in no sense = re-
Election. of sinister or corrupt lobbying
attempt, on a widespread scale. to infiu-
ence votes in support Of the legislation.
Nevertheless, the Senate has found the
incident sufficiently disturbing to war
rant full-scale inquiry, and that IN
itself wholly justifies the Presidents veto
of the measure as finally enacted.
AS Mr.. Eisenhower has put 1t, II be-
lieve / would not be discharging my own
duty were I to approve this legislation
before the activities in question have been
fully investigated by the Congress and
the Department of Justice. To do so
under such conditions could well create
long-term apprehension In the minds OF
the American people. It would be dis
service both to the people and to their
Congress" Nobody can reasonably argue
against that judgment. Certainly, since
the bill was under cloud suggesting
defiance of acceptable standards Of
propriety," 1t could scarcely have been
approved without the risk of causing
public doubt as to "the integrity Of
governmental processes"
Actually, as he has emphasized in his
message, the President is thoroughly In
accord with the basic detectives OF the
vetoed bill, which would have exempted
gas producers from utility-type Federal
regulation. However, although he is pre-
pared to approve new version OF such
sneeded" legislation IT 1t specifically
guarantees fair prices to consumers, he
has made clear that It's enactment. must
be free Of even the appearance Of Inn
proper influence. He can be sure the
American people are with him 100 per
cent on that score.

Khrushchev's FIop

In 1884, with a great deal of high
powered propaganda predicting fabulous
results. Nikita s. Khrushchev launched
his celebrated program to convert vast
area Of Russia's virgin soil into productive
farming territory. Tens Of thousands OF
young people were recruited" for the Job,
and lot Of machinery went eastward
with them to the promised land beyond
the Urals. At the time. more thansa few.
American experts-those familiar with
the natural state Of the region involved
voiced skepticism and suggested that the
project was largely unreaIistic. But Mr.,
Khrushchev, the ebullient boss of the
Soviet Communist Party, had boundless
faith In his brainchild, and apparently
nobody In the USSR dared to challenge
his roseate forecasts that the undertaking
would yield tremendous crops Of grain.
Today, however. after two years OF
hard experience with unco-operative
weather and other forces Of nature Inn
pervious to theological RECOMMENDATION, Mr..
Khrushchev is singing somewhat differ
ent tune. True, in his speech to the Com
munist Party Congress, he has defended
as correct" his effort to develop virgin
soil. But he Is also on record as having
admitted only few weeks ago that the
project has fallen short of expectations.
According to his own explanation, cat
the beginning, much Of the work was done
In hurry and not too successfully. Some
unfortunate decisions were made in the
choice Of land, not only In the quality Of
the soil but also In sowing" So there
will be no further expansion of the pro-
gram. In fact, part Of the area plowed
up and planted for rops-probably very
big part-has done so poorly that 1t will
be turned back to pasture. The expert.
ment, in short, appears to have been
pretty much a flop.
But does Mr.. Khrushchev blame him
self for this? No indeed. Although he
has been the prime mover Of the virgin
lands program, the villains responsible
for its many shortcomings are stupid
"bureaucrats" guilty of waste, indo-
lence and mismanagement. AS author
OF the plan, and as Stains successor In
the role Of Communist chieftain, he has
thus blithely placed himself above and
beyond criticism, putting all the onus on
others for the poor fulfllment of his own
grandiose and costly dream Enough said.
The thing serves as an eloquent example
OF what the Russian people have to put
up with under the Red totalitarianism of
their collective leadership"

No Stigma. but

Although 1t has accepted the State
Departments set Of general principles
to govern promoting exchanges Of
cultural, medical and similar delegations,
the Kremlin has once again strongly
objected to the fact that the United
States requires all nonofficial visa appli-
cants to submit to fngerprinting. The
Soviet view is that such a procedure Is
demeaning thing that should be appli-
cable only to criminals, and no Russian
citizen is allowed to agree to It. This
may be an oversensitive attitude, but 1t
is Arm one.
That is why President Eisenhower,
In his message on immigration, has
asked Congress to amend the present lSw
to- permit more flexible procedure. As
he has put it, Although in our minds no
stigma is attached to fingerprinting, 1t
is not requirement Of travel in other
countries. We should be the first to re-
move travel obstacles which hamper the
free exchange Of ideas, cultures and
commerce. Further, experience over the
last three years has shown that this
requirement does not significantly con-
tribute to our national safety and secu-
rity." In the circumstances, favorable
congressional response to the Presidents
request would seem to be an act Of
simple common sense. -, ILL.,.

On Aiming Israel

The 1875 members Of Congress
who demanded arms for Is

realize that their demands will
inevitably lead to an arms race
in the Middle East, with incal-
culable consequences to world
peace. Far from restoring the
balance of power in the Mid
die East. arms for Israel viii
only help to perpetuate and
maintain her military superb
ority over her Arab neighbors.
1t was this superiority which
encouraged Israel to commit
four major acts Of aggression
against the Arab states dur
Ing the short period Of two
years. Each time Israel was
found guilty and condemned
by the Security Council. Are
we now to reward the ag-
gressor and give him more
arms to continue his agrees
sions? A state with Q record
like that is hardly In q posi-
ton to ask for more arms.

Point Four Project
The previous method, en-
ployed In Egypt for several
years, was to clean the irriga-
ton bitches Of the snails by
means Of copper sulphate.
This was very laborious. ex-
pensive and quite inefficient.
The poison, it was found,
quickly lost its potency. It
was necessary to rid the
bitches of plant growth which
sometimes was quite abundant,
especially that Of water
hyacinths and water lilies.
This is unnecessary with the
new poison, since it is unaf-
fected by organic material.
Admittedly, this has no
direct concern for the United
States, at the moment. Still
there are snails capable Of
carrying the schistosomiasis
worm within q few miles Of
Washington, and under the
Point Four program this coun-
try has an outstanding interest
in various engineering devel-
opments in Egypt. Besides,
schistosomiasis is not a rare
disease in the New World
notably In Puerto Rico and
Brazil.
While the disease is worse
in Egypt, it is Of concern
in many other countries, but
not fundamentally so. Besides
the United States has invested
q lot Of money in the Point
-Four program which depends
largely on the efficiency Of
Egyptian labor.
This may have declined
somewhat since the days when

somiasis, awaited the coming

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Older people should, for their
own safety. wait until they can
get a seat.
Yet nothing is more common
than to see very old ladies
standing and swaying.
In the old courteous days,
when civilization was in flower.
1t was fine for the lady transit
passenger. because men and
boys got up 70 give her . seat.
In modern vork-a-day life
everybody remains seated. You
can't blame them, but 1t means
older people are in danger.
Just standing for seven miles
or so is difficult work that
might be avoided II such per-
sons. living where they seldom
get q seat, would arise SUM-
GENTLY early to find one.
1t is q truism unknown to
many that another bus comes
along presently. and often
there are plenty of seats in
this vehicle.
BY being able to wait a few
minutes, one gets a seat. It is
as simple as that, but appar-
emily many riders will not
allow themselves this extra
time. and no one can blame
them, especially on cold windy
mornings.
50
The transit company has al
ways insisted that riders get
of at the back door. but the
front door is by far the safest.
This is because the driver is
seated there watching your
every move as you get on.
Templeton Jones. master
transit rider Of so years ex-
perience, had q striking in
stance of this several years
ago.
He was the only passenger
left when the bus got to the
terminal. The driver pulled the
vehicle up at an angle, so that
when Jones stepped out the
back door. he found himself
two feet or more from the curb.
Extending his left Sleg. he
stepped off, missed the curb,
and fell beneath the vehicle.
The driver, who had stood up
and was changing his signs.
did not see what had happened.
If perchance he had gone
right on, he would have run
squarely over our worthy old
friend.
Jones picked himself UP as
best he could, and thanked
heaven for the necessity which
makes bus drivers change their
signs at the end Of each trip.
And that is why Templeton
Jones, passenger extraordinary.
always leaves by the front door
now.

for fiscal 1857 is $470 million.

loss Of $40 million. The deficit
on third-class mail Is $50
million.
The department claims it is
losing SIS million annually
because Of the weight and size
limitations imposed on parcel
post packages. This peculiar
limitation, adopted at the be-
hest Of the railroads and rail-
way express agency, is the best
evidence that the Post Office
