Jim Hoqerty's Job

This mornings bulletin from Walter
Reed Hospital reflects the Presidents
steady progress toward recovery from his
operation Saturday morning. And now
that the crisis atmosphere has passed,
the bulletin also serves to remind one
OF the splendid job which has been done
by Jim Hagerty, the Presidents press
secretary.
Mr.. Hagerty is getting to be an old
hand at this sort Of thing. During the
long weeks after the September heart
attack he manned the information post
in Denver and kept the Nation posted on
Mr.. Eisenhower'S condition. That ordeal
is not likely to be repeated this time, for
the President seems to be out of the
woods and well on his way to resump-
ton OF the quieter White House routine.
Nevertheless, it was rugged weekend
for Jim Hagerty-14 press conferences on
Friday and Saturday, 81 hours without
sleep, etc.
This, of course, is his job. 1t is what
he is supposed to do when the need arises.
Still, this country has never seen any
thing quite like the handling of the news
of Mr.. EiSenhower'S two illnesses. Never
before have the people been kept so fully
informed on a matter of such vital i'm
portance to them. To be sure, this was
both the right thing and the smart thing
to do. But it also was job that could
have been badly botched had it been
entrusted to less competent hands.

Premier Bulganin was most specific
on two points in his latest letter to Pres
ident Eisenhower on the disarmament
question. The first was his charge that
the United Nations Subcommittee on Dis
armament has been 'retarding progress"
on the matter and that there is little hope
for concrete results through that body
lin the very near future" The second
was his suggestion that a Western Big

Red troops now stationed in East Ger
many. Joint action on this latter pro-
poSal, he explained, might lead to with
draWal OF all foreign armed forces from
German territory.
1t is true, of course, that the Disarm-
ament Subcommittee britain, France,
United States, Canada and Russia), has
failed thus far to make material progress.
Its failure, however, is not synonymous
with 'retarding progress" particularly
when the failure is traceable largely to
Soviet unwillingness to accept several
safeguards that the Western four regard
as absolutely indispensable to mutually
safe disarmament. Prominent among
these proposed safeguards is the Eisen-
hover plan for reciprocal air and ground
inspection. Significantly, the Bulganin
suggestion for withdrawing troops from
Germany-not new idea from Russian
sources-likewise lacks any guarantees
for the security of that country. There
are other shortcomings in the Bulganin
letter insofar as representing any prom
Using new approach" to the disarmament
problem.
There remains. however, the fact that
this was courteous communication to
President Eisenhower. And this kind OF
personal exchange appears to hold more
promise than risk. Neither principal is
indulging in off-the-cuff statements or
making any casual commitments. It is,
in effect, an intermittent exchange of
views "at the Summit"-conducted in a
pleasantly polite tone and exploring at
least the possibilities of some new step
which might break the long deadlock.
President Eisenhower's current illness
probably will delay his personal answer
but there is reason to indorse Mr.. Bull
ganin's previously expressed hope that
this correspondence will continue for a
long time"

Atomic Common Sense

In his commencement address at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology, Chair
man Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic
Energy Commission has effectively re-
butted the argument in favor of Federal
crash program" in the nuclear power
field.
The substance of this argument is
that the United States is losing out to
Russia in race to harness the atom for
peaceful uses, especially for the genera
ton of electricity. And so the contention
is voiced. notably by the Aces Dem
ocratic critics in Congress, that our
Government should Immediately embark
OH major and costly effort to build lot
of power producing nuclear plants as
fast as possible.
In answer, however, Mr.. Strauss has
categorically declared that there is no
foundation in known fact for such
apprehensionS. The United States leads
the world today in the state of its
development of the peaceful uses of
atomic energy, including the develop
ment of atomic power. We are not en-
gagged in a kilowatt race" Nor does our
Government intend to engage in one,
even though it "unquestionably could
begin now and build millions of kilowatts
of nuclear generating capacity by 1860
far more kilowattS than any other nation
has announced"
Instead, according to Mr.. Strauss,
the United States will continue to follow
its policy of seeking, through prototype
experimentation and the development of
a number Of reactor ideas, to find the
kind of atomic installations that will be
capable of producing nuclear power
economically competitive with that gen.
Grated from conventional fuels. Unlike
many other nations where coal and oil
are either nonexistent or very expensive,
we have no pressing need to build more
operating A-plantS than those already
being built or planned. And in the
absence of such need, as Mr. Strauss
has said, I'VE will best serve our own
intereSts-and those Of friendly countries
If we devote ourselves to improving the
technology instead of freezing it by large
monetary commitments to existing UNI
economic types of reactors.'
All of this has the clear ring of
common sense in 1t. Despite what the
critics say, our country seems definitely
to be following sound and realistic
-for-peace policy.

Neither Israel nor any sup
porter of Israel has ever OBJ

United Nations guarantee for
the Arab states. Surely it is
significant that, to date, it is
only Israel that has appealed
for such a guarantee against
possible attack from nations
that surround her, and they
constantly threaten to drive
her into the sea-" 1t is no Sc
cret that the leaders of the
Arab world almost daily issue
statements of a bellicose and
warlike nature against the
state of Israel.
Israel is faced with a most
difficult situation. She is sur

Belmont House

So they are going to tear
down historic Belmont House
at IA Constitution avenue
NE. to enlarge Capitol hold
ings of land near the Senate
ONCE Building or make a
Congressional parking lot.
Just a word of advice to
those who say that the house
is historic merely because a
British detachment burned
part of it when they entered
Washington in 1914; or be-
cause American sailors, con-
cealed in the top floor of the
building on the same occa-
sion, shot at the British gen.
eral and brought down the
generals horse.
Never would I make a
statement like that about the
United States Navy. What I
am sure of is that if American
sailors shot and brought down
a generals horse, they were
aiming at the horse.
Moreover, the house is much
more historic than 1914. 1t
is older than the Capitol. The
first wing of the Capitol to
be opened for use is the north
wing, which was opened in
1900. The oldest part of the
Belmont House, the central
part, which is a small house
in itself, had already stood
there at least so years when
the Capitol was opened. So
says Mr.. Leisenring. of the
American Institute of Archi-
tectS.
If we are careful to pre-
serve our old papers in the
National Archives, why not
preserve our oldest buildings?
So say all the historical
societies.

This will, 1t is true, afford
a slightly lower temperature;
especially in brick houses.
At the same time it offers
the best conditions for the
spread of mildew.
X
Keeping windows open then,
in the hottest part Of the day,
and closing them in the cooler
times, such as very early morn
ing, about dawn, let us say,
will strike some persons as very
wrong, but not the booklover,
after he experiments with this
plan.
For here prevention is very
much better than cure.
But if the house is closed a
small fan should be kept going
in the book room.
If there are many books in
other parts of the house, espe-
cially on the first floor, sew
eral fans will have to be used
to keep the air stirred up and
so slightly drier.
Upper floors, fortunately, do
not offer mildew hazards. The
first floor is the worst, except
the basement, which is worse
still, but fortunately not many
persons keep books there.
Once mildew gets a hold on
a book one must be very care
full not to injure it further by
injudicious cleansing methods.
Water is by all means taboo,
and most Of the liquids sold for
the removal of mildew on
leather.
One may try these, but very
carefully, a bit at a time, on
some back part, to see how,
they work.
Mostly, one is well advised to
let them alone. They were
never meant for books.
Even a badly infested vol
ume, If 1t is wiped carefully
with tissues, and maybe given
a summing for a time, will look
fairly good.
If suntan is used, it should
be given in small doses, and
the books should be turned,
every now and then, to keep
the covers from bowling badly
from the heat.
The actinic rays are good,
but the heat or infra-red rays
Of the sun will only do damage.
The best prescription, then,
is to try to prevent mildew
from getting a hold on ones
books. But it is admitted that
this is an advice of perfection,
Probably the best we can do
is think about the problem in
advance, as here.

Virginia on Indignation

You see in the differences
between Virginia'S Attorney
General Almond and Speaker
Moore of the Virginia House of
Delegates a weakening of the
position of Virginians. There
has been a gradual hardening
of the position of the yeomen
of Virginia and their leaders.
You remember that the "Ox-
onians" and other self-alleged
intellectuals attacked the Gray
Commission report as extreme.
These latter are now willing
to accept same as reasonable.
But the rank and file of the
true intellectuals regard same
as too weak. They want some
thing stronger.
One Of the evidences of the
hardening process is the
emergence of E. Blackburn
Moore as the real leader. II
you knew this mans antece-
dents you would know just
why Virginia'S attorney gen.
eral finds him adamant to any
lessening of the resolution to
prevent the extinction of the
white race in Virginia.
Henry VIII had his sociol-
ogists. too, and cut of the head
of Mr.. Moore's ancestor; but
he was unable to destroy the
religion of Ireland. And the
discredited autocracy of GER
tain sociologiSts will fail to
destroy the white race in Vir-
ginia. The attitude of the peo-
pie Of Virginia is hardening.
The fact that Virginia's at
torney general differs with the
speaker Of the House Of Dele
gates means that heavier artil-
lery is moving toward the
front. The Moores are a stub
born family, even now.
