You can use 6-inch or 8-inch
speakers taken from old radios

can be attached to the lead-in
wires of your regular speaker by
means of alligator clips, which
need so soldering.
The most important factor,
however, is that the extra speak

Conference at Panama

Although the inter American confer
ence to be held in Panama City this week
end has been set up without a formal
business agenda the meeting will offer
a unique opportunity for improving West
ern Hemisphere relations. And while
President Eisenhower, who has displayed
keen personal interest in the gathering,
will be the central figure among the many
chiefs OF state present, one of the inpor-
tant potential benefits will lie in the
chance for other Latin American presi-
dents to meet each other, in some cases
for the first time.
The occasion for the meeting is the
130th anniversary of the Pan American
conference of 1926. Out of that first
gathering eventually resulted the found
ing of the Pan American Union in 1890
and, in 1948, the creation of the Organi-
cation of American States. Twenty-one
republics and an estimated 335 million
people are joined today within this Struc-
ture and, despite the differences that
normally arise within any community of
nations, it has been an effective and
peaceful association. The principles of
cooperation which underly it will be
reaffirmed in Declaration of Panama
this week end and Mr.. Eisenhower, in
speech on Sunday, is expected to offer
new guideposts for the future course of
the organization.
Aside from the political Implications
In this good neighborly kind of meeting,
an important area of mutual interest is
that of economies Most of the Latin
American countries are relatively rich in
natural resources but relatively poor in
capital investment for industrial develop
ment. Dr. Milton Eisenhower, who headed
study group visiting the southern re-
publics in 1853 and who is making the
trip this week, reported that one of the
greatest needs was United States capital
for industrial expansion in many of these
countries. The fact that much Latin
American capital itself goes elsewhere for
investment is partial explanation for
the shortage and there are possibilities
that some joint planning for capital use
NAV evolve from the current talks. It is
in this direction that United States lead
ership could prove to be the essential
catalySt In any case, the informal,
-to-person nature of the gathering
will permit complete exploration Of the
problems and of the thinking of those
who have the responsibility and the power
to deal with them.

SobeIoff Confirmation

If Solicitor General Sobeloff had been
named to judicial post outside the
South we do not suppose there would have
been any serious opposition in the Senate.
But he was picked for a vacancy on the
Federal Fourth Circuit Court, which has
jurisdiction in Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. Opposition, based on his supposed
support of racial Indignation, followed as
automatically as day follows night.
The extent, If any, to which this
opposition was justified will be deter
mined by Mr.. Sobeloff's performance on
the bench. That is something which, in
the case Of any nominee, cannot be pre-
Judged. 1t would be we'll to point out,
however, that the vote by which he was
confirmed-64 to l9-stands as a rebuke
to the efforts by some Of Mr.. Sobeloff's
opponents to bottle up his nomination in
committee. These tactics resulted in de-
laying Senate action for almost year
performance that was hardly in keep
ing with the most admirable democratic
processes In fact, it was performance
which lent hollow ring to many of the
complaints that Mr.. Sobeloff was lacking

'Hogerty Curtain

With the election less than four
months away, lot of irresponsible nom
sense is bound to crop up in political
speeches. It seems to us, however, that
Senator Mcnamara has set some kind of
a record in this respect.
The Michigan Democrat has just
made free-wheeling attack on what he
calls the "Hagerty curtain" This curtain,
he says, has been drawn around the facts
about the Presidents health and is "Still
shielding the American public from the
truth in one of the most masterful sup
preSSionS of the facts ever put across by
the advertising techniques of Madison
Avenue"
White House Press Secretary Jim
Hagerty is the principal villain in this
piece. Senator Mcnamara doesn't believe
a word he says about the Presidents con-
dition. For that matter, he doesn't be-
lieve the shotgun medical bulletins" or
the doctors. The Senator says, however,
that 1.-THE newSpapermen know the facts,
but most of them are mute. The reason,
I am afraid, must be because the pub
fishers don't want them printed"
Senator Mcnamara didn't say what
unpublished facts" are known to the
mute newSpapermen, but presumably
they are "facts" which would show that
the medical reports and Mr.. Hagerty's
statements about the President are false.
One would suppose that Senator Nc
Namara, in view of his blatant accuSa-
tions, must also be familiar with these
facts" But it is interesting, and perhaps
significant, that he did not cite single
fact-not one-to support his charge that
the truth has been suppressed.

stoned thriving water route to the West,
by way Of the Potomac Valley and sys-
tenn of canals reaching to the Ohio and

the first portion Of this canal route, some
vestiges of which may still be seen near
Great Falls.
The Federal Government already
owns nearly 5000 acres along the canal.
The bills sponsored by Senator Beall and
Representative Hyde of Maryland would
authorize the purchase of more than
10000 acres additional, carrying the park
as far as Cumberland. OF course, with
Congress soon to adjourn, there is slight
chance Of any action on the legislation
at this session. But the proposal merits
study, in the meantime, and revival when
Congress meets again.
