Our Own Bamboo Curtain

The State Departments unwilling
ness to issue passports to the American
neWSmen who have been invited to visit
Red China lends very hollow ring to this
Governments repeated appeals for a
freer flow of information between the
Communist and non-CommuniSt worlds.
We do not doubt that the news and
other media men would be taken on more
or less of a guided tour if they went to
China. The Chinese Communist Gov
eminent, in all probability, would let them
see only what they want to see, and would
hope to reap some propaganda benefits
from the visit. But there are competent
and experienced reporters among the in
vited group. They are not going to let
themselves be "branWaShed" or bam-
boozled by the Communists And if they
would not get to see all that they might
want to see, they would be certain to
come away with some worthwhile i'm
preSSionS of what is really going on
behind the Bamboo Curtain, of which we
complain so loudly.
Why should we be lowering a Bamboo
Curtain of our own? The State Depart
LlSIlG ClUCo d leg uldJlOIl W1llCll 1llNdl1udGcO
passports for travel in countries with
which we do not have diplomatic rela-
tions. And departmental spokesman
talks as though he fears the newsmen
might be lured to China and then locked
up in a Communist jail, thereby causing
trouble for our own Government.
This strikes us as pretty thin stuff.
China is hardly going to invite newsmen
to Peiping and then throw them in jail.
And even if that conceivably might hap
pen, it is a chance that the newSmen
would have to take. AS for the passport
regulation, it ought not to be applied
with total disregard of compromising
benefits. And it seems to us that the
benefits of preaching the Bamboo Curtain
would far outweigh any possible risks
involved. We hope that Secretary Dulles
will reconsider this matter, and adopt a
policy which is in keeping with the doc
trineS which the United States has been
preaching.

Loudoun Stands Pat

We doubt that the Loudoun County
Board of Supervisors weighed all the
angles before voting to withhold funds
from any county school which may be
ordered to integrate.
In all probability, an indignation or
der would be directed to all schools, not
to just one school. Furthermore, the
practice in Virginia is for the board of
supervisors to approve total school
budget, leaving It's division among the
several schools to the school board. A
command to withhold funds from par
ticular school would, to say the least, be
of doubtful legality. Finally, there is some
doubt that public sentiment in the county
would support such a drastic move. The
Board of Supervisors may be in the best
position to know what direction public
sentiment is taking. But it seems odd that
such an important resolution would be
adopted without any notice to the public
"a procedure which effectively barred
the door to any opportunity to protest.
With all this said however, the unan-
imouS vote for the resolution has to be
regarded as a significant expression of
sentiment in Loudoun. 1t is the more
remarkable because it is in such marked
contrast to what presumably is the SEN
timent in neighboring Fairfax County,
and to what certainly is the sentiment
in nearby Arlington. 1t seems to us that
this development, as much as anything
could, underscores the point that school
desegregation is essentially local prob
lem, to be dealt with as far as possible at
the local level. If this is correct, it is
another compelling argument for speedy
enactment of the Gray Commissions
recommendations, especially those which
would help localities handle this problem
with the least possible disruption of their
public school systems.

Hamlet in ItuIy

Like Hamlet soliloquizing in public,
Pietro Nenni has written another long
and somewhat anguiShed article on the
subject of Stains deglorif1cation by
RuSsia,S collective leaders,, AS head of
Italy's extreme left-wing Socialist fac
tion-which for years past has been the
Kremlin's most dependable fellow-travel-
ing ally in the West-he does not doubt
that the old tyrant, as exposed by Nikita
KhruShchev, was man guilty of the
most monstrous kind of crimes. Nor does
he doubt, now that his eyes have at last
been opened to that fact, that the Soviet
Union today is more wholesome place
than it used to be.
But Mr.. Nenni continues to be
assailed by lot of to-be-or -notto-be
misgivings regarding the character of
Stains "collaborators of yesterday and
his denouncerS of today" Although he
has arrived at no final judgment, al
though he has been unable thus far to
make up his mind about them, he feels
that the prestige and reputation of Mr..
KhruShchev and company have been
"gravely damaged by the moral and
POhbANaA NAAoAo NduoCQ III OAAC OOAAAAAuAAoV
world by the Discrimination program.
And he suggests, even more so than in his
earlier articles, that he and his left-wing
Socialists are watching the situation very
closely and may cease to collaborate with
the Italian Communists unless the new
Kremlin carries out effective democrat
ization" in Russia and makes it a
genuinely free country.
Needless to say, Mr.. Nenni will have
to wait long time before he is likely to
see any such thing happen. Will he grow
impatient? Will he finally decide that
the post-Stalin Soviet regime, though
better than the old one-man tyranny, is
nonethless despotism denying real free
dom to the Russian people? And will he
then take both himself and his party of
the fellow-traveling road and begin to
serve the best interests of Italy instead
of Moscow controlled communism? The
questions are interesting, and they may
yet lead to significant answers But the
Hamlet-like Mr.. Nenni still seems to be
debating with himself too much for any
body to figure out which way he's going.
Maybe his next article will throw some
light on the subject.

Representative Hinshow

Representative Carl Hinshaw, Cali
fornia Republican, who died at Bethesda
Naval Hospital on Sunday night, achieved
distinction in more than one field. AS
member of Congress since 1888, he had
long been recognized as one of the Re-
publican workhorSeS in the House-a fact
borne out by his state of complete ex-
haustion" when he entered the hospital
after the Bath Congress adjourned last
month. In the House, Mr.. Hinshaw was
recognized as an authority on interstate
commerce. natural resources and on our
atomic energy program-serving on COM
mittees which had jurisdiction over these
matters. But Mr.. Hinshaw's greatest spe-
cialty was in the field Of aviation. where
his knowledge and services were held in

Mr.. McAdoo's Role

Your usually so accurate
columnist, the notable Gould
Lincoln, has various errors in
his column of August 4. First,
McAdoo did not become Sen
ator until 1882. He did not
throw the votes of California
and Texas, which were for
Garner, to Roosevelt in "re-
venge" toward Smith. and this
l know first hand because /
lunched with both of them on
the day the decision was
made. There was no place
else to put the votes, and
Smith and McAdoo SO agreed
in friendly terms.
Gretchen Witt.
Editors Note: Our CORE
Spondent is correct. Mr..
McAdoo did not become Sem
ator until 1882. At the 1924
convention the marathon con-
test between McAdoo and
Smith-McAdoo leading in
more than 100 ballots-ended
in the nomination of John w.
Davis. In 1882, it was McAdoo
who announced the California
and Texas delegations for
Roosevelt. assuring RooSevelt'S
nomination and ending Smiths
chances for all time.)

Airport Angle

For two years I have been
reading all the pros and cons of
the Burke airport controversy.
The airlineS want Burke, the
passengers want Burke. APP
parently the main obstacle to
its completion is that the people
living on and around the pro-
posed site, quite naturally, don't
want to be uprooted.
No one. apparently. has given
the slightest thought to the
number of families who will
have to uproot if Friendship is
used as coterminal. I refer
to the people employed by the
airline industries. I believe
they number around 5000.
Wherever the new terminal is,
a great many of these people
will work there, or in and out
of it. How many airline en-
ployeS live in Virginia? Since
National Airport is on the Vir-
GINA side of the Potomac, it
is reasonable to believe that
the majority of the people en-
ployed there live in Virginia. I
wonder how many of them,
faced with committing to
Friendship, will be forced to
sell their homes and land and
move to Maryland? I feel sure
they far outnumber the resi-
dents of Burke and would be
equally as unhappy at the pros
pect of having to move.

Sewage Plan

National Capital Regional
Planning Council has ex-
pressed alarm concerning
sewage from new Government
installations in Montgomery
County. Metropolitan Area
planners should take a close
look at the availability of
handling such effiuent in some
phase of its publication, by
using the old Chesapeake IL
Ohio Canal. The route of the
existing canal would carry
this efiluent below the WASH
ington aqueduct intake for
our municipal water supply.
Such a diversion of this water
would insure that no careless
ly or accidentally polluted
water would reach the potable
water intake near Great Falls.
A similar suggestion has
been made, to the Fairfax
County Supervisors regarding
the construction of an effiuent
canal on the south bank of the
river when the George Wash
ington parkway is extended up
the Potomac from its present
temporary terminus above Key
Bridge.
Much of the sewage disposal
problem in this area can be
thus resolved and will save
millions later on as the popula-
ton Of the Metropolitan Area
increases.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

Out of the corner of his eye,
Templeton Jones noticed that
the two fellows across the aisle
at lunch were hunched over
their table in a rather odd
manner.
Having been brought up. in
the days when children were
really brought up. never to
stare at people, Jones refrained
from doing so now.
Good habits. as well as bad
ones, stick.
Temp Jones, therefore, re-
spending to gentle hands long
gone, and soft voice Stilled
forever, did not turn his head.
He merely looked sideways.
as soon as he could, to see
what caused the unconven-
tional pose at a lunch table.
The two men were playing
chess.
They had one Of those tiny
pocket boards. with even
smaller men which slid into
grooves.
Minute after minute they
sat hunched forward, looking
the board and the men and
the moves over for a long
time, as chess players do.
Only a fool would play chess
in a hurry.
Which means. since almost
all chess players are sensible
men, that nobody plays chess
in hurry.
The setting did not seem
exactly ideal.
There were half eaten foods,
soiled dishes, and crumpled
paper napkins.
Enough room had been
made for the board. which
each man held with one hand.
The bunch forward, which
had first attracted our friend.
he said later, was extreme.
Templeton Jones, who seems
to know everything, could have
told you the name Of the vari-
Gus muscles involved in such
a bend.
1t makes no difference.
Nothing makes any diff
ference TO a chess player.
He is all concentration.
Every possibility must be
considered, with the under
standing, at the same time,
that no human mind can en-
compass all the possibilities.
Some wight with more arith-
metic in his mind than COM
mon sense has estimated that
there are 4 billion possible
moves at every play in this
game.
Interesting, If true, but 1t isn't
quite true.
The limiting factor is the
player. himself.
BY no possibility will he have
the penetrating power TO
make and discard 1899 800 .999
moves.
He just can't do 1t, no mat
Ter how good q player he Is.

Second Term View

AS a result OF what must be
considerable covert pressure
and what obviously is consider
able overt pressure, I feel the
American people are getting
a frighteningly constituencies
dish ramroded down their COL
lective esophagus.
Judging by the deliberations
and soul searchingS prior to his
announcements to run, the
President exhibited a good deal
of hesitancy, doubt, or reluc-
lance. Naturally, Republican
underlings, party boys and
bosses, etc., would tolerate
nothing less than complete
gear, saddle, and harness for
the old war horse. After all,
Ike is their breadwinner. Why
turn him out to pasture. when
he can be spurred and booted
a bit more? After all (if / may
paraphraSe Charlie Wilson,
Republicans do not want pas
ture-land wards of the welfare
state but work horses.
Nevertheless. in my opinion,
Mr.. Eisenhower himself de-
serves the fullest measure of
blame for his decision to run.
He is short-changing the
American people. Obviously, a
man with two major illnesses,
in a relatively short time span
is not going to literally kill
himself with work since both
illnesses have very real pos
Sibilities Of recurrence.
The Presidents decision to
become a candidate for a
second term seems to be wholly
unwise, not to outrightly say
foolish or inordinately ambi-
tious. from the standpoint Of
his own health and well-being
as well as the health and we'll
being of the Nation. The United
States needs now more than
ever a vital captain at the
wheel Of the ship of state-one
committed body and soul to a
vibrant leadership, one willing
to risk disturbances and OPP
position from the reactionaries
in a passionate pursuit Of social
and economic progress (which
will be the real battle Of the
future between East and West
i'm which the latter is falter-
ing pathetically and all the
while losing ground) : in short,
one Of the magnitude, courage,
humanity, and social-minded-
ness of Franklin Roosevelt. Eli
senhower, on the other hand,
appears rarely to be, or to even
want 10 be, on the main deck,
but constantly goes below Gas
he often must in carrying on
his own preoccupation with
survival and leaves the ship in
inferior and more damaging
hands. Dulles. Nixon. and
Knowland have perniciously
ignored what few lukewarm
overtures Eisenhower has made
toward lessening world tension
and boorishly succeeded in
turning untold numbers Of
neutral peoples against the
United States and the West.

Paul Morphy couldn't have
done it.
Many chess players. includ-
ing our friend, still think of a
Morphy as the greatest name
in chess.
He was also the homeliest
man in the world.
His games were perfection,
or as near to it as the human
mind can get.
Perhaps angels play better
chess. but surely no human
being ever did.
His real name, of course, was
Murphy. but when the family
moved to Spain, ages before
Paul was born, the natives
there pronounced it Molphee,
or Morphy. so that was the
way it was when the family
moved to Louisiana.
Temp Jones, idly watching
the men at the next table,
wondered If they had ever
heard of Morphy.
Probably not.
There are fashions in all
things. and in chess it is the
reigning champion of the
moment.
Chess is a beautiful, per-
picking, fearful game.
1t takes the best brains you
have. and if you fail, you feel
much as the school boy does
when he f1unks an exam.
To win, in chess, is every
thing.
To lose, is the end Of every
thing.
People take it that way.
mostly. and Jones wondered
If the two young men across
the aisle did. Probably so. They
looked pretty intent. on some
thing or other, and it wasn't
food.
Maybe the loser was going to
throw himself out of the win
dow. II he lost.
When he got up, Templeton
Jones softly closed the open
window.
A chess player is pretty
tough, but even he can't sur
vive a seven floor drop.
